In this cheering interview, former Ku Klux Klan leader Johnny Lee Clary opens up about his time in the KKK and how the restraint and dignity of the preacher Wade Watts, who Clary regularly racially abused, was instrumental to him leaving the Klan.

Clary discusses one occasion, when a group of 30 or more clans men surrounded him in a restaurant, he told Watts to "think very carefully about what you do to that piece of chicken in front of you, because what ever you do to that chicken, we're going to do to you" upon which Watts picked up the chicken and kissed it causing even the clan members to laugh at his daring. When Clary renounced the KKK, he and Watts became close friends
