- 0:04We are faith and fury.
- 0:06Love and fire.
- 0:09This is the human equation where every voice counts and every truth cuts deep.
- 0:17With your host, Joseph Pankar.
- 0:20Good evening, everybody, and welcome to the human equation.
- 0:24I'm your host, Joseph Pangaro.
- 0:27I have a lot of different topics here that really fall under the auspices of the human equation.
- 0:36Lots of different things going on that I wanted to give a at least a little discussion on.
- 0:42First of all, everybody who emailed and said they really liked the serial killer stuff we did a few episodes ago where I talked about uh Rex Hoyerman.
- 0:52And I I have more to say on that.
- 0:55Uh actually gonna pull a bunch of different cases together and look at it.
- 1:00But I think uh you would enjoy it.
- 1:03Uh it's if you like uh true crime kind of thing, stuff like that, it really is uh outstanding to understand what these people are all about.
- 1:12So we're gonna go into that.
- 1:14There has been a couple of shootings, school shootings that we've seen.
- 1:20Uh we're running up on an important date.
- 1:23April 20th is a date when some very serious things have taken place, and though we've passed that date without a big event in America, we have had some shootings around the world, and we've had some continuing shootings here in America.
- 1:43So we're gonna talk a little bit about that.
- 1:46I see a lot, a lot of articles out there and incidents of teachers at various levels interacting with their students in a sexual way.
- 2:02Now, for years and years and years, the norm, if there is such a thing for this kind of behavior, was the adult male teacher and the underage uh schoolgirl.
- 2:14Uh there was a connection there that everyone could see.
- 2:17Oh, he's pedophile and he has access to young girls, but we're all now we're seeing a a quite a few cases.
- 2:25Matter of fact, the most of the ones that we've heard about doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of others that just didn't make the news.
- 2:31What makes them sensational now is we have these female teachers and female administrators engaging in sexual activity with uh underage boys in school.
- 2:44So I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about that a little bit.
- 2:47I wrote some articles about it a while back as as part of an investigative uh course I was doing.
- 2:53So if I can pull those articles up, maybe I'll get some points uh out of it we can look at.
- 3:00Uh the Iranian deadline coming and going, and do we trust the Iranians to do anything they say they're gonna do?
- 3:08I I don't know.
- 3:09Uh we'll have to go and and take another look at that.
- 3:12The the our friends on the Democratic Party, they are back at it.
- 3:16They are in full Trump derangement syndrome mode, and now we're seeing we have to use the 25th Amendment to get rid of Trump.
- 3:24He's crazy.
- 3:25We have to use the 25th Amendment.
- 3:26It is it is really just virtuous signaling to their left-wing base because there's no way you're gonna get the 25th amendment to move its way through the process.
- 3:37It's it requires the vice president and a majority of the uh President Trump's cabinet to say, yes, Trump is uh incapacitated mentally or physically, and he cannot discharge the duties of pre and we gotta get rid of him.
- 3:49Uh does anybody think there's any chance of JD Vance and a majority of President Trump's cabinet doing that?
- 3:56No.
- 3:56Then why are the Democratic politicians bringing it up?
- 4:00Because it's virtue signaling to their to their left-wing crazy base.
- 4:05And we're gonna talk about that.
- 4:06Is there a desire on the part of our nation to go backwards back into the Biden type of an administration, the Biden type of America, and abandon the America first kind of an America?
- 4:24Is there?
- 4:25Uh I think we need to really take a good look at that.
- 4:29And have you noticed this whole this whole uh story that started bubbling up?
- 4:36There were 10 of America's top scientists that had uh information to do with uh national security and also with other uh they use a lot of veiled terms, but I think what they meant was uh the UAPs or the UFOs, whatever you want to call them.
- 4:5410 now there's 11 of these people who have been murdered or disappeared and none of the cases have been solved.
- 5:04That is, you could see, okay, one or two, but these are from all over the country, different people, different places, and it's not unheard of.
- 5:13I heard um an operative on one of the news shows talking saying, hey, this is the kind of thing that happens, you know, uh the Iranians had scientists working on their nuclear weapon, and they were wiped out, they were blown up, they were assassinated, because if the people that know how to do this stuff aren't around, then you can't do it.
- 5:32So who is coming after the American scientists?
- 5:38Who would who would want to do that?
- 5:40Well, obviously you can look and say the Iranians, and we know that there's thousands of them here that came in with the Joe Biden influx of uh illegal immigrants.
- 5:49But what about Russia or China or uh North Korea?
- 5:53Could they have people here that want to take out our scientists to prevent us from being secure?
- 5:58I don't know.
- 5:59We I think we should take a look at that.
- 6:01Uh here in the American church, I'm a Roman Catholic, and I love my church.
- 6:07I love my religion, and I love my Jesus, okay.
- 6:11Um we have an American Pope, the first American Pope, Pope Leo.
- 6:16And he hit the ground running, he was looking really great, and all of a sudden he gets in this in this war war of words with President Trump, and we start to find out that before Pope Leo was Pope Leo, he was an ardent anti-Trumper, and he has lots of tweets out there, and he's against Trump and this and that.
- 6:34Now, is that appropriate?
- 6:36Does that help religion or politics?
- 6:39I don't know that it does.
- 6:40I want to talk about that if I can for a few minutes.
- 6:42Um I'm gonna all these are all things that are on my board that I'd like to uh get out there.
- 6:46Now, the migration problem that we've seen uh around the world, especially in Western countries, Western Europe.
- 6:56Uh, we're seeing this liberal left-wing idea that just hey, open your borders, let everybody pour in, it'll be fairer, be safer, be at a better place, everything will be better with all these people that are in here.
- 7:00Let everybody pour in, it'll be fairer, be safer, be a better place, everything will be better with all these people that are in here.
- 7:06The problem is not the people.
- 7:06The problem is not the people.
- 7:09The problem is culture.
- 7:09The problem is culture.
- 7:11Culture is the problem.
- 7:11Culture is the problem.
- 7:13You cannot bring in thousands or millions of people who do not share a culture with your country because you're going to have conflicts.
- 7:13You cannot bring in thousands or millions of people who do not share a culture with your country because you're gonna have conflicts.
- 7:22It's gonna be a constant conflict.
- 7:22It's going to be a constant conflict.
- 7:24So I might want to talk about that.
- 7:24So I might want to talk about that.
- 7:26And along with that, is the concept that we're hearing now.
- 7:26And along with that, is the concept that we're hearing now on the left.
- 7:30You know, they're very good on the left of coming up with uh sayings, changing the language, uh directing the narrative, all that kind of thing.
- 7:40Uh, but we're hearing this a lot now.
- 7:42Stolen land, no one is illegal on stolen land.
- 7:46Well, I think I think we need to think about that a little bit more.
- 7:50So these are some of the things that I'm going to try and get to today.
- 7:56So I am enjoying an adult beverage this evening.
- 8:00Uh, this one is a uh a vodka tonic.
- 8:03It's nice because it's kind of light, but it's uh it it's it's comfortable, right?
- 8:09And and I like to have a just to sit around and I sit and talk with my friends and family and we sit and we have a cocktail.
- 8:16So that's kind of what we're all doing here.
- 8:18But I do want to tell you about something.
- 8:20Now, normally I bring this up recently in the in the second half of our get together, but I'm gonna bring it up now.
- 8:26Where is a great American city?
- 8:28What is one of the great American cities?
- 8:31Uh considered a red, white and blue place, considered a place for fun, for having a great time for all kinds of good stuff.
- 8:38Well, if you say to yourself, Nashville, Tennessee, you'd be 100% correct.
- 8:43Nashville, Tennessee is a really cool, uh, amazing place.
- 8:48And this summer, July 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, our very own station here, our network, the America Out Loud Network, is going to be hosting a conference, a get together, uh a chance for us all to meet and greet and exchange ideas and thoughts.
- 9:06And in we're going to be celebrating two things.
- 9:09The first thing we're celebrating is the 10th anniversary of America Out Loud.
- 9:14That's right, we've been here 10 years now, and I think I've been with the station probably nine.
- 9:19Nine years I've been on the network in various forms.
- 9:22And I'm very proud of my association with America Out Loud.
- 9:25It is a really tremendous uh weapon for free speech, and I think it's it's really a great thing.
- 9:35And we're also celebrating the 250th anniversary of America, the greatest country on the face of the earth.
- 9:43And you can join us if you go to our website, America Outloud.news, go there, and look for Nashville 250.
- 9:52You will see, click on the link, and it will tell you all the details about our get together.
- 9:58We're gonna be there July 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
- 10:00We're gonna have all kinds of great presentations and opportunities to get together and adult beverage sessions and fireworks on the roof.
- 10:09It's really going to be a tremendous get together, and we would love to see all of you there, where we can meet each other and have a great time celebrating this amazing uh voice of free speech, America out loud, and also the United States of America, the greatest country on the face of the earth.
- 10:28So I wanted to bring that up and tell you to go take a look at it.
- 10:31I'm gonna be there.
- 10:32I already have all my stuff planned, my bags are packed, and I'm ready to go.
- 10:36So it's gonna be a really a great time.
- 10:38All right.
- 10:39Um so that's what I wanted to kick off and talk about.
- 10:44So when I look at my list here, where where do I want to start here?
- 10:48Um let's let's jump right into uh Pope Leo and Donald Trump having difficult time talking to each other.
- 10:59Now, what we find is that yes, President Trump can be bombastic, he can say things that make people uncomfortable, he can say things off the cuff.
- 11:08I I've had a lot of conversations with people, conservatives and liberals, where they go, well, you know, yeah, no matter what you like about Trump, he he says he says really bad things sometimes.
- 11:19And we've been over this uh quite a few times.
- 11:21Uh does Trump say things in ways that other presidents do not or have not?
- 11:27Yes, he does.
- 11:28Has he spoken off the cuff?
- 11:30Yes.
- 11:31Has he been available to talk to anybody and everyone who wants to talk with him?
- 11:36Uh yes, constantly.
- 11:38And one of the realities about that, when you have a personality like President Trump, where you don't shy away from a conversation, you don't shy away from your opinions, you don't shy away from saying what's on your mind without giving it 85 different thoughts, thousand thoughts about well, how's it gonna come across?
- 11:58How's it gonna look?
- 11:59How's it gonna this?
- 12:00How's it gonna that?
- 12:01When you don't live by that kind of a rule book when you speak, you're gonna say some things that are sometimes off the cuff and are rough, uh, that can be uh offensive maybe to some people.
- 12:16But the reality is you know what this guy's thinking at all times.
- 12:20You know what he's saying.
- 12:21And I understand people both on the right and on the left who say, well, he's the president, he shouldn't talk like that.
- 12:28Well, I I see your point.
- 12:31Uh I it doesn't bother me though.
- 12:33It doesn't bother me that he speaks the way he speaks.
- 12:37Why?
- 12:38Because he's effective at governing, he's effective at being the leader of the government.
- 12:44He's effective at getting things done that we as the American people need to have done.
- 12:50Whether you're a lefty or a righty, uh the things that Trump is doing is good for everybody.
- 12:54The big beautiful bill is really very helpful for everyone when it comes to filing taxes.
- 12:59We're seeing the reports come in now.
- 13:01People are getting bigger refunds than they've ever gotten before, and that's good.
- 13:04It's our money.
- 13:05We should get it back.
- 13:07So this this war of words, you know.
- 13:11Uh Pope Leo, and he's he's my Pope, the Pope of my church, and I respect him for that.
- 13:17I like him.
- 13:18I I saw all the uh stuff when he was uh when he was elected as Pope when the white smoke went up, and here's this American.
- 13:26I thought it was amazing, uh, you know, make America great, now we have a Pope, right?
- 13:30So on top of everything else, now we have a Pope.
- 13:33And then he comes out and he he he calls Trump a tyrant and he says this, that, and the other thing.
- 13:38The problem that I think people have with, and the problems that I have with it, uh, with him saying such a thing, is that the Pope can have any opinion he wants.
- 13:49He's a man, he's a human being, uh, he's the head of a of a government, you know, the Vatican C.
- 13:54Uh, he's the head of the Catholic Church, so he can have his opinions.
- 13:58He can call and say uh Trump is immoral.
- 14:00Trump is immoral, he could say all of these things from the position of being the leader of the church.
- 14:01He could say all of these things from the position of being the leader of the church.
- 14:06I agree.
- 14:06I agree.
- 14:07The problem that I have with what he's saying is that he's he's only talking, he's not saying anything negative about the Ayatollahs in Iran who just killed 40,000 of their people.
- 14:07The problem that I have with what he's saying is that he's he's only talking, he's not saying anything negative about the Ayatollahs in Iran who just killed 40,000 of their people.
- 14:20Where is this Pope coming out and saying, this is horrific?
- 14:20Where is this Pope coming out and saying, this is horrific?
- 14:24Where is this Pope coming out and saying these uh these radical Muslims that are a
- 14:24Where is this Pope coming out and saying these uh these radical Muslims that are attacking around the world, trying to kill every Jew that they possibly can, and you know, from the from the uh from the river to the sea?
- 14:37How come he's not coming out and moralizing about that?
- 14:41It seems if he if he was speaking from the heart on all of these things, okay, he had more credibility, you know.
- 14:50But why is it that he can just join the bandwagon of the left wing politicians in America, the weak Republicans, the left wing socialist politicians around the world, all of them who hate Trump and just pile on the Trump wagon.
- 15:05Where is he not saying that listen, war is terrible, war is bad, but the Ayatollahs are demonic, they are a psychotic, and they are a danger to the world.
- 15:16And while we don't like war, at least President Trump is fighting evil.
- 15:22I mean, isn't that what we're supposed to do?
- 15:24Fight evil, and as the head of the church, you think that would be like an important thing that he would talk about.
- 15:30But he doesn't.
- 15:31He doesn't mention any of those things.
- 15:33He doesn't talk about uh these massacres, he doesn't talk about the massacres in Africa of Christians.
- 15:40These are his people, right?
- 15:42And he doesn't talk about them.
- 15:43I think that's what's got people annoyed.
- 15:46Now, I I talk to lots of Catholics, and everyone is uncomfortable and squeamish about being upset about the Pope, especially the first American Pope.
- 15:58Now, maybe he felt that, hey, as the first American Pope, uh, let me demonstrate, let me let me virtue signal and show everybody I can talk about my own country.
- 16:08Uh, and then he's going to go off on a tirade on all these other uh horrific governments and countries around the world.
- 16:15It unfortunately he's not doing that.
- 16:18He's not doing that.
- 16:20Uh he's he attacked Trump.
- 16:22And that kind of left everybody going, geez, Pope.
- 16:28You know, couldn't you pick on the real evil in the world and not attack the president that's trying to make the world better, that's trying to make our country better.
- 16:36So I I find it interesting.
- 16:39Um that this is going on.
- 16:42Now, if it was President Joe, would I comment on the Pope?
- 16:47I probably would not.
- 16:48Would I pick up the bat phone?
- 16:50Would I reach out to the Pope?
- 16:51Maybe I would.
- 16:52I don't know that I would say things in the exact same way that President Trump says them.
- 16:58Um I don't know that I would.
- 17:00And I don't know that I would argue with the Pope publicly, but at the same time, I gotta tell you, there's a lot of us Catholics sitting here going, gee, we don't like that there's this conflict between the president and the Pope.
- 17:13But maybe the Pope should not be talking about things like this when he doesn't talk about you know fighting evil.
- 17:20He doesn't bring up people.
- 17:21He's oh, the oh, the the world of Islam has so much to offer.
- 17:25It is so good, it's so wonderful.
- 17:27Meantime, they're murdering millions of people all over the world, murdering their own people, uh and none of that is ever talked about.
- 17:34It's like it's almost like it's politically correct Pope talk.
- 17:39And that's what makes people uncomfortable about it.
- 17:41So if you're out there and you're not a Catholic, um this is what people in the Catholic Church are talking about.
- 17:47You know, we want we love our Pope.
- 17:49We want to love the Pope.
- 17:50He's the head of the church.
- 17:52Uh, but at the same time, we want to be represented.
- 17:56You know, we want to be represented with how we feel about things as well, which I guess that also connects to why so many people don't understand.
- 18:04How could more than half the country vote for this Trump?
- 18:07How could they do it?
- 18:08Because we don't feel we're represented by the left-wing psychotics in our country, and we're not uh represented by the weak uh Pablum speaking Republicans that are out there, and Trump stands up for us.
- 18:23He says the things that we feel and we want to hear about.
- 18:26We want America first, we want a strong America.
- 18:29We want our borders secured.
- 18:32We want to bring in people that we need in our country, not just open the door and let everybody come in and put them in hotels and give them phones and all kinds of welfare.
- 18:40That how does that help the average American family?
- 18:44It does not.
- 18:45And Trump speaks for us.
- 18:47Well, as Catholics, we were hoping the Pope would speak for us.
- 18:51Talk about the evils in the world.
- 18:53You know, why turn and look at your own uh country and your own people and put that down when you could turn around and talk about the evils in the world, like the Iranian mullahs who gunned down and murdered how many people in their own country for trying to stand up to them for looking for freedom and justice, right?
- 19:13And instead he talks about Donald Trump's a tyrant for the way he's behaving, enforcing the law.
- 19:18How dare he, right?
- 19:20This is this is where this has really struck a nerve for a lot of people.
- 19:24And it's hard to talk about it.
- 19:28Because I've had people who are anti-Catholic, um, Christians, but anti-Catholic.
- 19:34Go, see, see how wrong the Pope is, see how wrong the Pope is, and therefore the church is wrong.
- 19:40They use any excuse to attack, to attack, to attack.
- 19:44So, and again, what do we talk about all the time here?
- 19:47It's the human equation, what are the pieces that put together?
- 19:50Well, that's human nature.
- 19:51That's human nature.
- 19:52It is part of the weak side of human nature to twist facts to twist situations so that it supports what you think and want and believe, as opposed to looking at things factually.
- 20:06All right, so I wanted to cover that because I know it's really hard.
- 20:10Uh it's a really hard topic when you are a person of faith to have a problem with your Pope.
- 20:16You don't want to have a problem with your Pope.
- 20:17You want to you want to say, oh, the Pope is great.
- 20:19I love John Paul.
- 20:20John Paul was amazingly strict.
- 20:22He fought against the the communists.
- 20:24He stood up against the Soviet Union because they were evil, and everyone felt bolstered by the Pope, right?
- 20:34Leo going against Trump is just another voice in the wilderness of anti-Trump people that are just using any opportunity to go against Trump to get rid of him, get rid of him, you know, the 25th Amendment crowd, the psycho lefties, uh, all these kind of things.
- 20:50And that was it was difficult to hear.
- 20:52So I'm hoping, you know, it it sounds like they're they're trying to work it out, maybe.
- 20:56I I hope so.
- 20:57And I hope Trump would I would hope he would be respectful to the Pope and say what he has to say more magnanimously, maybe, or taking into account that, you know, don't go attacking the Pope.
- 21:00I would hope he would be respectful to the Pope and say what he has to say more magnanimously, maybe, or taking into account that, you know, don't go attacking the Pope.
- 21:12What the Pope says points out that he's wrong.
- 21:12What the Pope says points out that he's wrong.
- 21:14You know, let that speak for itself.
- 21:14You know, let that speak for itself.
- 21:16Um, and then go from there.
- 21:16Um, and then go from there.
- 21:18All right.
- 21:18All right.
- 21:20So that leads me into the topic of uh migration.
- 21:20So that leads me into the topic of migration.
- 21:27Migration, migration, migration.
- 21:27Migration, migration, migration.
- 21:29Now, I think.
- 21:29Now, I think it's funny when people refer to uh to the poem that's on the Statue of Liberty, as though it's part of the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States.
- 21:42Give me your your huddled masses, you're poor, you're this and that.
- 21:46As though those are words of our forefathers written into the and we're just ignoring it.
- 21:52We're not paying attention to our mission.
- 21:54That's from a poem that is on the Statue of Liberty, right?
- 22:00And what that poem was was reflecting was the essence of what America does.
- 22:07America is a is a bastion of light in the darkness for people to come to for freedom.
- 22:14Uh, you know, huddled masses of people who are attacked in their own countries or they can't uh worship the way they want.
- 22:21That's what it embodies that feeling of what America is.
- 22:26It doesn't mean open your borders and let everybody come pouring in here uh from every part of the world with nothing to offer the country.
- 22:35Right?
- 22:36Just because they want to come here, let them in.
- 22:39Take care of them.
- 22:39What we can't.
- 22:41You know, uh, you know, to try and connect a few dots.
- 22:44At night, when you go to bed, do you lock your door?
- 22:46Do you have a ring camera?
- 22:48Do you have uh do you have uh security systems on your why?
- 22:52Why don't you just open your door and let everybody in?
- 22:54How many people have you and your family driven down to one of these protests?
- 23:00Uh uh anti-ICE protests or whatever, and said, hey, give me two or three families uh that ICE is coming after, and let's move them into my house.
- 23:09How many how many of those things have you done?
- 23:11Or do you just, you know, wag your tongue and run your mouth about oh, but you don't actually do anything about it, right?
- 23:18No, because why?
- 23:19Because it's dangerous.
- 23:20You don't know who these people are.
- 23:22You can't just let everybody into your home.
- 23:24You know, even our friend the Pope.
- 23:25And not just Pope Leo, but you know, since since around 500, when uh there was uh attacking Muslim armies attacked um the Vatican.
- 23:35They put up gigantic walls to protect from that.
- 23:39So it's funny how these things all come together, right?
- 23:41We're talking about uh, you know, uh Muslim terrorists trying to take over land, and it's still it's been going on forever and ever and ever and ever.
- 23:49Uh 600, 600 AD, because you know uh Mohammed didn't show up until like 525, you know, so 500 years from Jesus to Mohammed.
- 23:58Uh there's a lot of time going on in there.
- 24:00Um, but you see my point.
- 24:02You know, there's a there's a huge wall around uh the Vatican, and they don't let, you know, thousands of people in there.
- 24:10How come?
- 24:10Because you can't just let everybody in there.
- 24:12You can't you can't afford it, you can't do it.
- 24:14You it's it's unsafe.
- 24:16Well, that's the same thing here in America, and we're seeing it now across Europe, where country after country after country that followed this liberal nonsense craziness of open borders, opening their borders to people who came flooding in, who cannot and will not assimilate with their culture, doesn't mean they're bad people.
- 24:38It just means they have their own culture and they want to live by their culture.
- 24:42They just don't want to do it in their land because their land is not uh is not great.
- 24:47So they want to go places where it is great, but then do their own culture.
- 24:51And that is causing a problem with the people who live there, right?
- 24:55That's with the people who live there, like in the United Kingdom.
- 24:59Uh these people, these migrants can come in and commit crime, can do all kinds of horrific things, and if you speak up against it, the government will lock you up.
- 25:09Um, you know, it it's just absolutely crazy.
- 25:13And you we're s we're seeing the we're seeing the uh problems that this has caused all across Europe with rape gangs and the numbers of rapes going up and uh even in America.
- 25:24I think they said there's been 13,000 murders since 2020 uh by illegal immigrants.
- 25:30Thirteen thousand murders, right, of people who are now dead and in their graves that wouldn't be because of this, right?
- 25:38And again, doesn't make these people bad, other than the murderers and the rapists, they're bad.
- 25:42But people wanting to I get it.
- 25:44You can't just open your door and let everybody pour in.
- 25:48So we're seeing, we're seeing in real time a real experiment with what happens when you follow another left-wing lunacy uh policy of just open the borders, let everybody in, let them all in.
- 26:02It's everyone's great, everyone's awesome.
- 26:05We gotta be fair to everyone.
- 26:06And then they come in and they cause havoc.
- 26:09They cause all kinds of problems.
- 26:10We're seeing disease we haven't seen in years and years and years.
- 26:13And again, doesn't mean the people are bad.
- 26:16Most of them wanted just a better life.
- 26:18It just means you have to be very careful when you open your front door to who you let in.
- 26:24All right, so we covered a couple of these things, and and I'm glad we did.
- 26:27When we come back, we'll try and cover a couple of more.
- 26:31All right, we'll see you in a minute.

- 30:16Alright, everybody, welcome back.
- 30:19Here we are on the human equation.
- 30:21So I said that I wanted to take a look at uh the thing that we see trending of teachers engaged in sexual activity with their students.
- 30:32Now, like I said earlier, the traditional story we always heard was the pedophile uh victimizing teacher that searches out the uh the young girl who's got maybe some personality problems or problems at home and and she's not very strong, and he could take advantage of her.
- 30:52So they do the grooming techniques, right?
- 30:54So grooming with with pedophiles, is where you start to prepare this young person that you want to take a take a uh advantage of by making them comfortable, making them comfortable around you, making the relationship seem like it's it's a good thing, and therefore they start out maybe being a supportive person for them.
- 31:19They listen to their problems.
- 31:21They maybe show them support that nobody else does, maybe not their peers, maybe not their parents, or anyone else.
- 31:27And here's this teacher, this trusted teacher uh that kids uh have a tendency to look up to, and they like this teacher, and the teacher likes them, and maybe for the first time they're feeling self-esteem and they're feeling good about themselves, and this teacher preys on that, and then they isolate the child, uh, and then they try to see what they can get away with, you know, hugging, um, kissing, uh, maybe they give them some gifts, and maybe the kid's never gotten some gifts, and then they try and isolate the kid away.
- 31:56Let's go get some ice cream together, let's do some things together, right?
- 32:00And let's go for a walk and we can talk and all these kind of things.
- 32:05So the article that I wrote, I actually wrote a couple of articles uh in reference to this, the investigative techniques of figuring these things out.
- 32:14And one is called obviously teacher-student relationships.
- 32:19And in this, it's it's not a it's not an essay paper, but it does start to look into some of the possibilities about why these things take place.
- 32:30So the first one we can look at uh is that classic um that classic relationship, the male teacher uh who grooms the young female students because he's a pedophile and he is attracted to younger children.
- 32:46Uh a teacher, maybe he be maybe he got into teaching because he had access uh to so many potential victims.
- 32:53Now, before we get into this, and for any of you out there who who want to lump in every teacher, male or female, uh, into this problem.
- 33:01Let me tell you, don't do it.
- 33:03Uh I spent many years working in a school district as a director of security.
- 33:08I got to meet thousands and thousands of teachers.
- 33:11I've lectured across the country.
- 33:13Uh I I was on campus safety magazines, board of experts.
- 33:18I've talked to thousands and thousands of teachers, and the huge majority of them absolutely love these kids in the most appropriate way.
- 33:27They want to see them succeed.
- 33:28They want to help them to be great.
- 33:30They want them to have great lives.
- 33:32I have such respect for teachers.
- 33:34Uh beyond what I I had previously when I actually saw them in action and how they actually interacted with these students.
- 33:43Now, that being said, there are good people and bad people in every walk of life.
- 33:51You know, I come from law enforcement.
- 33:53And I would be lying if I didn't say there weren't some bad law enforcement officers out there.
- 33:58People that should have never been hired, people that should have never been given the the honor and the privilege of being a law enforcement officer because they didn't have the personality for it.
- 34:08They didn't have the temperament for it, they didn't have the mentality for it.
- 34:11Well, that's the same as true for plumbers.
- 34:13There are a lot of plumbers who do bad things and school teachers and politicians and airline pilots.
- 34:20It is part of the nature of humanity that people will get involved in things uh that are inappropriate when it comes to normal interaction.
- 34:30Because they see an opportunity to do something that which maybe and again, here we go.
- 34:36Remember, I talk about drives, want crimes and drive crimes.
- 34:39Well, this is where these things come down, and we start to see them.
- 34:42So I I don't like to read from things, but there are some things I need to read to get the information out.
- 34:50Um but first let me tell you a little story.
- 34:53Uh when I was a kid, a young person, uh, I remember I got to I got to be in fifth grade.
- 35:00And like me and all my dopey friends, we were into sports and baby guns and uh and hunting for frogs in the woods, and you know, girls were a they were there, but they, you know, there was no real great interest, you know, in second, third, and fourth grade.
- 35:00And like me and all my dopey friends, we were into sports and baby guns and uh and hunting for frogs in the woods, and you know, girls were a they were there, but they, you know, there was no real great interest, you know, in second, third, and fourth grade.
- 35:14You know, some girls we were friends with, and they played sports, and it was there was no there was no ulterior motive, boy-girl motive at fourth, you know, third and fourth grade.
- 35:14You know, some girls we were friends with, and they played sports, and it was there was no, there was no ulterior motive, boy-girl motive at fourth, you know, third and fourth grade.
- 35:26When you get to fifth grade, people start.
- 35:26When you get to fifth grade, people start to change, don't they?
- 35:31We start to, we start to develop as young men and young women, and that's when we start to see young men and women interacting.
- 35:38Well, I'll never forget, and I'm sure almost every man out there can tell you a story about a teacher that just was, oh my gosh, I I've never seen a teacher like this before.
- 35:50And I won't say her name, but you know, in in 10th grade, you're what, 10 years old?
- 35:56I mean fifth grade, you're 10 years old, and I'm 10 years old, and I'm just starting to notice the girls around me.
- 36:01Hey, wait a minute, you know, they're kind of pretty.
- 36:03They're kind of nice, they're different than the fellas, right?
- 36:06And I'm starting to take notice of that and an interest in it, and then along comes this teacher.
- 36:12Now, she probably had to be 23 or 24 years old, and I was I was 10 or 11, just noticing girls, and in walks this teacher.
- 36:22And I know the same effect she had on me, she had on every boy in the room.
- 36:27She walked in and she was friendly and sweet and beautiful, and uh absolutely a woman of the 70s, you know what I mean?
- 36:37She just she was just amazing, to the point that here 50 years later, when uh I get together for a reunion or for this and that, and we start talking talking stuff like guys do, uh, and we'll say, Boy, do you remember Miss So-and-so?
- 36:50And it's oh my god, I couldn't believe her when she showed up, changed my life, right?
- 36:56So I I understand that because you're in a in a place where there's this teacher.
- 37:02You know, you're you're in you're there more than your home with your family.
- 37:05So the school environment is something we have to look at and say, okay, so so how does this happen?
- 37:11Now, why do I tell you this story about this teacher?
- 37:14Because I'm trying to make the point that we've all had a situation where something happened to us during our school years that involved school.
- 37:24Now, another uh now, of course, this teacher, you know, I was 10-year-old boy, she didn't care about me at all, and she didn't know that all the boys were starstruck with her when she walked in.
- 37:34Uh, but the reality was we were, right?
- 37:36And to the point that, you know, 50 years later, we all still talk about her.
- 37:40Uh that imp that impact she had when she walked in, how that was so different that it we were in a different part of our lives, right?
- 37:48So that's part of the human equation, isn't it?
- 37:50So I would think all of you, there was somebody the first time you saw somebody as a young person that you you said, oh my gosh, that man is handsomer, oh my gosh, that woman is beautiful.
- 38:00Right?
- 38:01We've all had that experience.
- 38:03And this is something that uh because it is a universal kind of an experience, we can look at it for where do the problems come from.
- 38:12So, like I said, this teacher never did anything inappropriate with me or the other boys.
- 38:17That was, I'm sure the last thing on her mind.
- 38:19We were little boys.
- 38:20We were not uh, you know, uh anybody in uh in a position to uh interact with her on that level.
- 38:28But I remember getting into high school as a freshman.
- 38:33I'm a freshman in high school, and there was a girl uh in our in our peer group that everybody knew.
- 38:39She was a very nice girl, she was pretty, she was fun.
- 38:43Um you could see she was uh an outgoing kind of girl.
- 38:47I think she was a cheerleader.
- 38:49All these things were great, and everybody kind of talked about the way she interacted with one of the teachers, again, a young man, 24, 25, maybe 26 years old.
- 39:03The reaction between and the interaction between him and her was something that everybody took notice of.
- 39:09Just the way she spoke to him, just the way he spoke to her.
- 39:13It kind of we we weren't thinking inappropriate relationship.
- 39:17We just thought there was something different about the way those two spoke to each other.
- 39:23Well, by the time we got to the sophomore year of high school, the rumors started that, hey, over the summer, Mr.
- 39:33Jones and Tina got caught in a car together, and Mr.
- 39:38Jones got in trouble and this, that.
- 39:41Well, as that story expanded in our sophomore year of high school, Mr.
- 39:46Jones did get in trouble.
- 39:47He got himself locked up for having a sexual relationship with this young Tina, and he went to prison.
- 39:56This guy lost his entire uh career, his life, and he went to prison for having a sexual relationship with this girl who was, you know, 15 or 16, and maybe not even 16, 14 or 15 at the time, and he was probably closer to 30 by then.
- 40:11Well, not only we were all shocked by that that we knew somebody that would that was with a teacher, because that wasn't was not that that common.
- 40:19But what was even more shocking was that he got out of prison.
- 40:24Uh, I think was it by the time we were done, he got out of prison.
- 40:30I'm not really sure.
- 40:31Did he do three years?
- 40:33It had to be because it was the talk of the school.
- 40:35The summer that she graduated from high school, you know, she was 18 then, he was out of prison, and they got married, and they moved in together as a husband and wife.
- 40:49And it was like, oh my god, could you imagine the guy went to jail and he ends up marrying her?
- 40:55And you're like, it was bizarre because you didn't hear about it that often.
- 40:59It was a once-in-a-while kind of thing.
- 41:01And to to know somebody who actually went through, and then they got married.
- 41:06It was like, oh my gosh, they they must have really loved each other, right?
- 41:09And you don't really recognize the inappropriateness of it as a kid when you see that kind of a thing.
- 41:15So we see this more and more.
- 41:19And the classic, I guess the classic outline here we have is um very simply pedophile.
- 41:29This guy was a pedophile.
- 41:30He was into 14-year-old girls, and he was a grown man.
- 41:34Uh, he groomed this girl, uh, made a relationship with her and took advantage of her sexually, and he paid the price that he should have.
- 41:42You know, that was inappropriate that he did that.
- 41:44He should not have done that, and he found himself in jail.
- 41:47The fact that when he got out of prison and she graduated high school as a legal adult, they got together and got married, that is that was shocking.
- 41:55It really was.
- 41:58But as I began to look at this as a detective as a criminal investigator, there were allegations of this along the way.
- 42:00Detective as a criminal investigator, there were allegations of this along the way.
- 42:04Now, I was not a juvenile officer.
- 42:04Now, I was not a juvenile officer.
- 42:07In my agency, we had major crimes, adult detectives, and we had juvenile detectives who handled anything where a juvenile was the victim, the accused, or a witness.
- 42:07In my agency, we had major crimes, adult detectives, and we had juvenile detectives who handled anything where a juvenile was the victim, the accused, or a witness.
- 42:17Uh, and then the adult section handled anybody over 18 years old, no matter what they did if they were victim or whatever.
- 42:18And then the adult section handled anybody over 18 years old, no matter what they did if they were victim or whatever.
- 42:24But I did work with the juvenile officers.
- 42:24But I did work with the juvenile officers.
- 42:27You know, we all interacted with each other.
- 42:27You know, we all interacted with each other.
- 42:28If you need a second detective.
- 42:28If you need a second detective and you're working, you go on the case.
- 42:32And I remember my partners in the juvenile division working on some instances where mom and dad felt the relationship between the daughter and their daughter and the teacher was inappropriate, and people ended up getting arrested.
- 42:46And then I'll never ever forget this one teacher, and I won't say her name, female teacher, very attractive, probably 32, 33 years old.
- 42:59It was shocking to the senses, but I never forget my partner, this detective going, hey, I have to go interview uh a couple of these kids with their parents.
- 43:09This teacher, this female teacher, uh, is having parties at her house with all of these 14, 15-year-old high school kids, boys and girls.
- 43:20She's giving them alcohol and marijuana, and there's rumors that there's pills, all kinds of stuff, and that she's having sex with all of them, uh, you know, throughout the evening, taking them to the bedroom and doing what boys and girls.
- 43:35And it was like, what?
- 43:37Because you always heard about it as the male teacher and the underage girl student.
- 43:42You never heard about a female teacher doing this with the boys and the girls.
- 43:46Well, as we investigated it, we found enough of these kids to come forward and say, hey, here's what happens.
- 43:54This teacher, she's really cool, she has these parts, and yeah, a lot of people have sex with her because you know, first of all, she's beautiful and she wants to have sex.
- 44:01Well, it was bizarre because she got locked up, and I remember she got arrested, she was indicted, and it was in between the time of the indictment and her trial.
- 44:13It was probably a year separating the two.
- 44:17We had a parent come in and say, This teacher, who was by now she was fired, you know, she was removed from the school district.
- 44:25This uh parent came in and say, My son and his friends are going to this woman's house and having drug alcohol parties and having sex with her.
- 44:35And we investigated, and turned out she was still doing it, even though she had been indicted, was going to trial for it, going to go to prison.
- 44:43She was still doing with boys and girls, 14 and 15 years old.
- 44:47She's a pedophile, yeah.
- 44:49It happens with females also.
- 44:51It's just, it's not something we're used to.
- 44:54So seeing this happen, and then I wrote the article because there was a couple of really high profile cases where there were female teachers, and we're seeing that now.
- 45:04Why do we see it so much?
- 45:06The male teachers have stopped doing it?
- 45:08No, they haven't.
- 45:09But everybody kind of, okay, well, that's what male teachers do, they're dirt bags and they uh, you know, they they're pedophiles and they take advantage.
- 45:16When it's a female teacher, it is still so titillating and shocking that it makes the newspaper a lot.
- 45:25Sometimes you might see two articles from different parts of the country in the same newspaper about teachers doing this.
- 45:31And I started to notice it, and I said, okay, well, how is it that this is happening more and more and more uh across the country?
- 45:41And then I said, Well, who are they hiring?
- 45:44Uh, and as an investigator, my question was, could you see these traits?
- 45:49Uh, these kind of situations that a person might be involved in later on, can you see it during the background investigation?
- 45:59And what I saw was uh a commonality across background investigations uh for many, many types of professions, you know, the mind law enforcement and teaching, and some other, you know, doctors, uh, you know, because we see doctors do this too, don't we see doctors abuse their patients, right?
- 46:18Sexually abuse their patients, dentists who abuse their patients.
- 46:21Yeah, it's it's a power play.
- 46:24So one of the first things you got to understand is that sex is really, it's not about the sex, sexual assault.
- 46:30It's usually about the power over the person.
- 46:32For the pedophile, it's it's the um the attraction to underage people, uh, and the sex is the vehicle to express that and its power and all that.
- 46:42So I started trying to figure out how is it that so many of these people are getting past the the background investigation?
- 46:51And I created a program, pre-employment background investigations.
- 46:56Well, I started with law enforcement, uh, and I figured, you know, we get this big application, it gets turned in to be a cop.
- 47:03Person uh lists three references that we talk to, and all of them say, Oh, greatest, greatest guy or girl in the world should be a cop, and then they're on the job two years to get indicted for doing criminal stuff.
- 47:13And I'm saying, how did we miss that?
- 47:15How did we miss the traits that lead to that?
- 47:17Now, you know.
- 47:18So I started to look at it closer and closer and realize that it's based if we look at the traits of a of a good and decent candidate, and then we compare that to the person who's applying for the job, we often can see in their previous behaviors questionable activities that may not make them suitable to carry a badge and a gun and have power over people in society.
- 47:43And once we instituted these things, we found that our problems three, four, five, and ten years down the road with our applicants pretty much disappeared because we identified people who were potentially a problem in the process and weeded them out.
- 48:00So when I started thinking about schools, having been a director of school safety and security, having involved, been involved in these kinds of allegations with teachers and whatnot.
- 48:11I started to say, what's the background checks that we do for people who want to be teachers?
- 48:16Can we see these kind of behaviors going on in their lives that we can uh look at and go, maybe that this person potentially shouldn't be a teacher or in a school system?
- 48:31So my two articles, um, the first one, student-teacher relationships gives a lot of background.
- 48:36And you know what?
- 48:37I think I'll I will put this uh I will ask the editors to put this up for this episode, uh, two articles, maybe even, right?
- 48:44See if they'll do two.
- 48:45So that was the first article.
- 48:47The second one was how could I how could I bring information to school districts all across the country to do a better pre-employment background investigation?
- 48:59So this article is called Building a Safer Stronger Classroom, the case for comprehensive preemployment investigation for K-12 teacher applicants.
- 49:00Article is called Building a Safer Stronger Classroom.
- 49:04The Case for Comprehensive Pre-employment Investigation for K to 12 teacher applicants.
- 49:09And in this article, I went a little more in depth in understanding the traits that could possibly be a problem.
- 49:09And in this article, I went a little more in depth in understanding the traits that could possibly be a problem.
- 49:17Doesn't mean if somebody has any of these traits that they're oh, they're a pedophile, they're gonna attack children.
- 49:17Doesn't mean if somebody has any of these traits that they're, oh, they're a pedophile, they're going to attack children.
- 49:22That's not what it means.
- 49:22That's not what it means.
- 49:23What it means it's something you need to look at.
- 49:23What it means it's something you need to look at.
- 49:26We have to look between the lines in the application.
- 49:26We have to look between the lines in the application for things that are not readily available.
- 49:32People, oh, they put down three or five or ten references.
- 49:36What do you expect those references to say about this person?
- 49:39Oh, greatest person in the world, make an excellent doctor.
- 49:42She's fantastic.
- 49:42He's great, great cop, but unbelievable teacher this person will be.
- 49:46And of course, when you put down your hand-picked friends, the goal of the investigators to look beyond, look beyond uh the application and try and find out who the person is as a human being.
- 49:59What is the human equation that leads us to what they do?
- 50:03So that the second article uh actually points out a lot of things to do.
- 50:07But I'm gonna, I'm gonna, like I said, I don't like to read, but I think I said enough of a background here that I'm gonna look at this, and the first thing I say in here is trust.
- 50:17Trust is the foundation of a relationship between parents and the school system, isn't that true?
- 50:22When you send your kids off to school, or there they are, a little pre-K or kindergartener, you put them on the bus and off they go.
- 50:28You trust everybody in that school district to look out for your child, to make sure your child is safe and healthy and happy and learns and has a good experience.
- 50:38You don't expect them to be molested, right?
- 50:41But that does happen.
- 50:42But trust is the foundation of this relationship.
- 50:46And I know that school districts do not want children to be harmed.
- 50:50They want to make sure the kids are safe and do the best and grow into wonderful people.
- 50:56So we're seeing that since no parents send their kid off to school, especially to be sexually assaulted, why is it happening?
- 51:04Why is it appeared to be happening with more frequency?
- 51:07Why are we seeing stories across the country?
- 51:09And why are we seeing these relationships continue to happen, even though we see people arrested all the time now?
- 51:17What would make somebody who's in a school going, you know, I probably shouldn't do this.
- 51:22I just saw 20 people last year locked up in the newspaper going to prison for having a relationship with a student.
- 51:28You shouldn't really do it.
- 51:29Alright?
- 51:30So I I did look at that initial idea of the male teacher and the female student, but I I expanded beyond that because we are seeing more and more more and more women.
- 51:41All right.
- 51:42So here's some things.
- 51:43Let me let me go through this here.
- 51:44In this article, I'm hoping they're going to publish it.
- 51:46Um the purpose of this is to understand the circumstances that allow these inappropriate relationships to begin and grow, and then we have to look at several areas of information.
- 51:57Here's what I'm suggesting.
- 51:58The psychological profile of the teacher and the students involved.
- 52:02We have to understand this.
- 52:03So what this is the concept of lessons learned.
- 52:07All right, so I teach a lot about active shooter events and surviving an active shooter event, whether it's in a school, a business, a church, whatever.
- 52:15And where do we get this understanding?
- 52:17Well, we got to understand the dynamics of an attack.
- 52:20What happens in most attacks?
- 52:22How do people respond?
- 52:23How do the shooters uh attack?
- 52:25What do they do?
- 52:26And we learn those lessons.
- 52:28Right?
- 52:29This is the key to investigation is to learn the lessons.
- 52:32In our episode when we talked about Rex Hoyerman, the the uh serial killer, why are they having him talk to the to the uh uh behavioral science profilers?
- 52:43Because we want to learn the lessons from what this guy did, the precursors, the things that led up to his attacks, so we can identify them in the future and maybe save somebody's life.
- 52:53So we want to understand the personal history of the students and the teachers to identify these root causes such as previous abuse or uh as a predator or a victim.
- 53:04We want to have policies and training of staff and students on relationship guidelines and most importantly on follow-up and monitoring these things.
- 53:12So when you get a report of an inappropriate relationship, what are we doing?
- 53:18What is our policy to go follow that up to investigate it, to make sure that it's not going beyond?
- 53:24Now, when I told you earlier that I think teachers love these kids in in the most appropriate way, amazingly, they do.
- 53:34And do a lot of teachers go out of the way when they find children who are struggling because of personal problems or family problems or uh anything else that's causing the student to falter?
- 53:45Yes, they do.
- 53:47A lot of them go out of their way to try and help these students overcome these obstacles in their lives.
- 53:54So, what might look like an inappropriate relationship might just be a teacher trying to help a student.
- 54:02But our job as the the uh administrators or the the people involved with the running of the school is to look into it and make sure that there's nothing inappropriate happening, and we can certainly do that.
- 54:15Uh, our other staff members, oh, this was a big one.
- 54:18This was a big thing.
- 54:19Other staff members ignoring things that they saw because they like their colleagues and they do not want to think that Mary would ever do anything inappropriate with the student.
- 54:31She just cares about them, she's doing tutoring, she's helping.
- 54:34And it turns out Mary's having a relationship.
- 54:36So are our other staff members uh are our policies in place that allow them to report anonymously or to uh interdict in the middle of this to have an investigation done to find out, is it something inappropriate or is it something that just looks inappropriate, right?
- 54:55So we have to look at that.
- 54:57Um the other thing that I I identified in my research about this is and it's probably politically incorrect, but I don't care because investigators don't care about political correctness, we care about the truth and protecting victims.
- 55:15So one of the things I found was when you see a 38-year-old man or woman engaged in a sexual activity with an underage person, there is enough time and experience in that older person's life to know that this is wrong and inappropriate.
- 55:32When we find that these 22, 23, 24-year-old teachers are engaging in relationships with younger children, you know, in fourth and fifth grade, clearly that's a problem.
- 55:45That's that's not a normal relationship.
- 55:47But in a lot of these cases, I saw a 22, 23, 24, 25-year-old teacher, male or female, engaging in inappropriate activities with students who are 16, 17, and 18.
- 55:58Now, the thing that came up is that while there is that teacher relationship boundary, because they're so close in age, that there is the thought that there's nothing wrong, I'm not doing anything wrong.
- 56:00That came up is that while there is that teacher relationship boundary, because they're so close in age that there is the thought that there's nothing wrong.
- 56:11I'm not doing anything wrong.
- 56:12I'm not a pedophile.
- 56:12I'm not a pedophile.
- 56:14I'm simply engaging with someone within my age bracket.
- 56:14I'm simply engaging with someone within my age bracket.
- 56:18Now, this again comes back to policy and training to make sure these teachers understand.
- 56:18Now, this again comes back to policy and training to make sure these teachers understand.
- 56:23You are a teacher, no matter how close in it, you're 22, and that person is 17.
- 56:23You are a teacher, no matter how close in it, you're 22, and that person is 17.
- 56:27In the real world, maybe you could date that person.
- 56:27In the real world, maybe you could date that person, but not in school.
- 56:31You cannot have that kind of a relationship.
- 56:34So I don't want to go on and on.
- 56:36I I'm at the end of my time here, but I wanted to make sure that we covered some of these things because it's on the it's in the news all the time.
- 56:43Alright, so look for the articles.
- 56:45I'll ask if them ask them if they can put them up.
- 56:48Uh be a part of the solution, my friends, not a part of the problem here on the human integration.
