5:42
Speaker 1: out of foster care where they're now, that will be
5:44
Speaker 1: in March. I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
5:48
Speaker 1: Elvis Presley's grandchildren are in foster care. Foster care? Now,
5:54
Speaker 1: is there a difference in that jurisdiction between being in
5:58
Speaker 1: the care of Child Protective Serve and being in foster care?
6:02
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is the same. Oh my stars.
6:06
Speaker 1: What about what about Priscilla? Why does it she take them?
6:09
Speaker 1: Priscilla lives in Los Angeles. She is actually involved in
6:13
Speaker 1: running the Pressley estate. So my mom Mark worked to
6:17
Speaker 1: take care of three children. I work and take care
6:20
Speaker 1: of two children. I mean, come on, please, they don't
6:23
Speaker 1: need to be in foster care or child protective services care,
6:27
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. I mean, it's like
6:29
Speaker 1: putting perfume on a pig. That's what I'm saying. You
6:32
Speaker 1: don't want your children away from you. I don't understand this.
6:36
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call Priscilla. I know Priscilla. I'm going to
6:38
Speaker 1: call her and find out what's going on. Maybe she'll
6:40
Speaker 1: talk with us. I'm not so sure of that because
6:42
Speaker 1: it's such a sensitive family thing. But yes, they're in
6:44
Speaker 1: foster care. That means in California sense, in my rare end,
6:48
Speaker 1: the children are in foster care or child protective services care.
6:52
Speaker 1: You know, you take your children away from their mother? Now,
6:55
Speaker 1: why would they do that? Why would they take them
6:57
Speaker 1: from Lisa Marie? If this is true, if if big
7:01
Speaker 1: capital I capital f If this is true about Lockwood
7:05
Speaker 1: the father, why not limit or disallow any contact with
7:11
Speaker 1: the father. Why did they take them away from Lisa Marie.
7:14
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the history just a few months. Oh,
7:17
Speaker 1: dear Lord, don't give me anent his Well, you asked
7:20
Speaker 1: me a question, Nancy history. What happened? I was just screaming.
7:23
Speaker 1: I don't recall a question mark being on the end
7:25
Speaker 1: of it, but go ahead, Okay. Back in June, this
7:29
Speaker 1: couple split up after ten years, and almost immediately, within
7:33
Speaker 1: about a month, Lisa Marie checked into drug substance Rehap. Yeah,
7:39
Speaker 1: well rehap. And now she's saying that she can't even
7:42
Speaker 1: afford to pay her own attorney. That her fortune that
7:45
Speaker 1: she inherited, yes, and that she inherited a huge fortune.
7:50
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I sit on the children's college
7:53
Speaker 1: fund like I'm a dragon on top of the golden egg.
7:57
Speaker 1: Nobody's going to touch that college fund. Come h e,
7:59
Speaker 1: double ill or high water. Okay? How can you run
8:03
Speaker 1: through a three hundred million dollar fortune that your daddy
8:07
Speaker 1: hands you on a silver platter? Now listen, I've always
8:10
Speaker 1: been on Lisa Marie side. I've always supported her. I
8:14
Speaker 1: love her music, i love her I've gone through every
8:17
Speaker 1: one of her disastrous marriages rooting for her. But you
8:22
Speaker 1: get what, let your children be put in defacts. Care
8:26
Speaker 1: As far as the money goes, I think I think
8:29
Speaker 1: that the money that she controls could very well be gone.
8:32
Speaker 1: But keep in mind, she's got a very business savvy mom,
8:36
Speaker 1: Priscilla Pressley, who has been running things. They've licensed the
8:39
Speaker 1: Pressley brand and name out to a company that does
8:43
Speaker 1: that and makes a lot of money with it. So
8:44
Speaker 1: they've got income coming in. But I believe Priscilla controls it.
8:47
Speaker 1: So for the purposes of the divorce, keep in mind
8:50
Speaker 1: that this strange husband of ten years is asking for
8:53
Speaker 1: spousal support of forty dollars a month. I don't again
8:58
Speaker 1: a flying fig about what he wants and what she wants.
9:01
Speaker 1: I don't care about her frittering array three hundred million dollars.
9:07
Speaker 1: What I care about are these eight year old girls
9:11
Speaker 1: in foster care. Haven't you heard what happens to children
9:15
Speaker 1: in foster care? Nothing good? Okay, there's some wonderful foster
9:20
Speaker 1: care families and moms out there, and Dad's I happen
9:23
Speaker 1: to know some of them out here. It's a pretty
9:25
Speaker 1: good system. It's over burdened with it's a good system.
9:28
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because by the time I get them, it's
9:30
Speaker 1: always because the crime has occurred. Okay, So I'm taking
9:33
Speaker 1: take that with a box of thought. Okay, I hear
9:35
Speaker 1: what you're saying, and yes, they're a good foster parents.
9:38
Speaker 1: I get it. In fact, I would be willing to
9:40
Speaker 1: bet that the large majority of foster parents are wonderful
9:44
Speaker 1: and loving. I just always hear about them, but when
9:48
Speaker 1: there's been a felony for Pete's sake, but I don't care.
9:51
Speaker 1: I don't care if they're they're angels on earth. They
9:54
Speaker 1: have been taken away from their mother, So I don't
9:59
Speaker 1: get it. This was triggered by the divorce filing and
10:02
Speaker 1: the fight over that forty dollar a month spousal support. Well,
10:05
Speaker 1: they should have thought about that before they put it
10:08
Speaker 1: in the divorce file. It gets pretty ugly when you
10:10
Speaker 1: know they call it child custody battle and divorce battle.
10:13
Speaker 1: It certainly is in this case. So what Lisa Marie
10:16
Speaker 1: says is that as she was after she kicked him out,
10:19
Speaker 1: she was looking on his computers and found these incredibly
10:22
Speaker 1: horrible photos and videos. And the investigation started with the
10:26
Speaker 1: child services here, and I guess the conclusion at least
10:29
Speaker 1: they have to act in the interest immediate interest of
10:32
Speaker 1: these children. And they say, if this went on while
10:35
Speaker 1: the mom was around and she didn't know about it,
10:38
Speaker 1: can she be trusted. We need to find out if
10:40
Speaker 1: we can trust her. Right now, well, right now, these
10:42
Speaker 1: are not nothing is saying. These are pictures of the
10:46
Speaker 1: two little girls. Let me. Let me, let me say
10:49
Speaker 1: what is in the court papers? I mean, is that
10:51
Speaker 1: your understanding? It says that I discovered that the respondent,
10:56
Speaker 1: meaning her a strange husband, had taken right Lockwood had
11:00
Speaker 1: take a disturbing video footage when I discovered the photos
11:03
Speaker 1: on his computer and viewed the videos. Wa wa wait
11:07
Speaker 1: wait wait, we're in paragraph six dependency case discovered Lockwood
11:13
Speaker 1: had taken as well as disturbing. That doesn't even make sense.
11:19
Speaker 1: I disclosed my concern about the hundreds of inappropriate photos
11:24
Speaker 1: I discovered that Lockwood had taken, as well as disturbing
11:30
Speaker 1: video footage and behavior. I don't think they're going to
11:33
Speaker 1: say in these documents that the pictures who the pictures
11:35
Speaker 1: were of sense? Of course, these are victims and their children,
11:39
Speaker 1: so I don't know that they would put that in
11:42
Speaker 1: until a court document. But it says he took them.
11:46
Speaker 1: She says he took Then let's start at the beginning.
11:50
Speaker 1: Paragraph six. There's a trial set in March in children's
11:54
Speaker 1: court regarding allegations of sex abuse and neglect that originated
11:59
Speaker 1: when Lisa Marie Pressley disclosed my concerns about the hundreds
12:04
Speaker 1: of inappropriate photos I discovered Lockwood had taken, as well
12:11
Speaker 1: as disturbing video footage and behavior. When I discovered the
12:15
Speaker 1: photos on Lockwood's computer and viewed the videos, I was shocked, horrified,
12:21
Speaker 1: sick to my stomach. I had no idea he had
12:25
Speaker 1: taken these photos. I will refrain from describing the photos
12:29
Speaker 1: in detail out of respect for the privacy of my family. Now,
12:35
Speaker 1: that certainly makes it seem like it's of the girls,
12:38
Speaker 1: fay year old girls, but it doesn't say that. But
12:42
Speaker 1: when you're not talking about the contents out of respect
12:45
Speaker 1: for my Lisa Marie's family, it seems as if it
12:50
Speaker 1: is about family members. Now I don't know that, though.
12:54
Speaker 1: What do you think. Well, they're going to children's court
12:57
Speaker 1: for allegations that he sexually abused the children and neglected them.
13:02
Speaker 1: That's the essence of the child court thing, and that's
13:05
Speaker 1: what triggered the child services to intervene pending that hearing.
13:10
Speaker 1: We could speculate all day, but I don't think it
13:12
Speaker 1: will get us anywhere. But now I don't think it will.
13:14
Speaker 1: It's just so sad. But do you know about the
13:16
Speaker 1: nature of the hearing? That's what I want to know. Well,
13:19
Speaker 1: it's in the children's court, they call Edelman Children's Court
13:22
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles where they look at these issues,
13:25
Speaker 1: and they have different rules of course, because we've got
13:28
Speaker 1: kids involved, and the privacy and the families and the
13:31
Speaker 1: media is not allowed in there. It's a private court,
13:35
Speaker 1: and it's in March, and I think the outcome, of course,
13:38
Speaker 1: Lisa Marie wants her kids back. The Beverly Hills p
13:41
Speaker 1: D executed a search warrant, removing over eighty of the
13:45
Speaker 1: husband's devices, which they have not analyzed and have not released.
13:50
Speaker 1: My Lisa Marie's computer and telephone were never seized. My
13:55
Speaker 1: understanding is that Tennessee law enforcement is also conducting an
13:59
Speaker 1: investigation and related to the photos and videos I discovered. Wow,
14:04
Speaker 1: you're saying that the hearing regarding sex abuse deals with
14:09
Speaker 1: the eight year old girls Elvis Pressley's granddaughters. That would
14:12
Speaker 1: be the allegation. Do you see that or are you
14:15
Speaker 1: speculating that it's a conclusion you make because it deals
14:19
Speaker 1: with the foster care custody of these children. Well, wait
14:23
Speaker 1: a minute, that doesn't mean that the two little girls
14:26
Speaker 1: are the sex abuse victims. All right, I'll give you that.
14:29
Speaker 1: I mean, unless we see that she could be referring
14:32
Speaker 1: to She could be Lisa Marie could be referring to
14:35
Speaker 1: whomever is in those photos. Let's go to paragraph sixteen.
14:39
Speaker 1: My financial situation. I receive a monthly income of a
14:44
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a month from my inheritance, a fift
14:48
Speaker 1: interest in Elvis Presley Enterprise, held in trust set up
14:52
Speaker 1: when I was a minor. The income I received is
14:55
Speaker 1: based on the anticipated annual taxable K one income to
15:00
Speaker 1: Elvis Presley Enterprises a hundred thousand dollars a month, it's
15:06
Speaker 1: one point two million dollars a year. Paragraph seventeen. Due
15:10
Speaker 1: to gross negligence unbeknownst to me, my business manager did
15:14
Speaker 1: not pay what did not pay my taxes? Why does
15:17
Speaker 1: this always happen? Why it's an old story we've heard before. Okay,
15:22
Speaker 1: I received a modest salary of forty three hundred a
15:25
Speaker 1: month as an employee of Grace Land, which allows me
15:29
Speaker 1: to obtain health insurance for myself, Lockwood in our daughters.
15:34
Speaker 1: I pay for all our health insurance. Well, you know
15:36
Speaker 1: she's making a hundred thousand dollars a month. She doesn't
15:39
Speaker 1: need to be worried about four thousand dollars insurance okay,
15:42
Speaker 1: but I forget that. But she's saying she can't pay
15:45
Speaker 1: forty tho dollars a month in spousal support to to Lockwood.
15:49
Speaker 1: Let's go through that. What are her claims about what
15:51
Speaker 1: he gets? There's a post marriage or post marital, postnuptual agreement.
15:57
Speaker 1: Do you actually just saynuptual nuptural nuptural natural, duke naptual.
16:04
Speaker 1: It's called a post up versus a pretty nup. You
16:07
Speaker 1: think I would know yet with it? Please? Oh? Okay,
16:13
Speaker 1: go ahead. Back to the money. She's saying that, Look,
16:15
Speaker 1: we already worked this out when we were married. Okay,
16:18
Speaker 1: and now he's coming in wanting forty dollars when I
16:20
Speaker 1: just get a hundred thousand dollars. You know so, But
16:24
Speaker 1: they were married ten years. He's a musician, so probably
16:26
Speaker 1: not a lot of income to support himself. Listen to
16:28
Speaker 1: this paragraph nineteen, as Lockwood well knows, about a year ago,
16:33
Speaker 1: I discovered he's spent over a million dollars of my
16:36
Speaker 1: separate property funds without my consent. I confronted him. He
16:41
Speaker 1: acknowledged he has spent the money all my credit cards.
16:44
Speaker 1: Oh that's the worst credit cards. They're terrible, they're awful,
16:49
Speaker 1: They're the devil. I discontinued his access. I guess that's
16:54
Speaker 1: going to be I discontinued his access to my credit cards.
16:57
Speaker 1: Now all this is into four. All of this is
16:59
Speaker 1: in divorce documents. What does that mean? We know she's
17:04
Speaker 1: in tax trouble, but then attached to it are a
17:07
Speaker 1: lot of financial forms with a lot of money being
17:11
Speaker 1: thrown around. Okay, I'm getting bogged down and their finances. Now,
17:17
Speaker 1: there are some claims that this, all of this is
17:21
Speaker 1: really stemming out of a divorce procedure. But it would
17:25
Speaker 1: be a cold day in Satan's living room that I
17:29
Speaker 1: would let my children go to de facts over a
17:32
Speaker 1: divorce procedure. Okay, no, uh so, how can somebody really
17:39
Speaker 1: argue that this is a divorce ploy About the money?
17:44
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't see that. What do
17:46
Speaker 1: you think, Allen? Well? The money? The saying you don't
17:49
Speaker 1: have the money, I think is a typical thing. And
17:51
Speaker 1: divorces either side wants to say they need money or
17:54
Speaker 1: don't have money, can't pay the money, And just like
17:57
Speaker 1: when you do your taxes, you you try to make
17:59
Speaker 1: it look like don't have as much, so your liability
18:01
Speaker 1: isn't a speak for yourself. I'm not getting in trouble
18:04
Speaker 1: with the I r s well, get it. Not talking
18:06
Speaker 1: about that. I'm talking about with and I wouldn't do
18:09
Speaker 1: of course, I would never do that. The most disturbing
18:12
Speaker 1: and really the only really disturbing thing about this is
18:14
Speaker 1: what's happening with the kids and what might have happened
18:16
Speaker 1: with the kids. You're the one who brought up the money, Allen,
18:19
Speaker 1: not me. It's an important sub subtext of this whole
18:23
Speaker 1: thing because they were fighting over money when this whole
18:26
Speaker 1: thing erupted and she put the let's say, the dirty
18:29
Speaker 1: laundry out there. But but isn't that good though, that
18:32
Speaker 1: she exposed that to protect other children or other victims. Yes,
18:35
Speaker 1: it is good, It is good. I think it makes
18:39
Speaker 1: sense that that's when she started going through his computers
18:41
Speaker 1: and his stuff when they're looking at a divorce, but
18:45
Speaker 1: she's saying she cannot even afford to pay her divorce lawyer,
18:48
Speaker 1: and Mark Gross, oh, he'll get his money. I don't understand.
18:52
Speaker 1: Where is the mom and all this? Priscilla Elvis Presley's
18:56
Speaker 1: wife now she Lisa Marie says she is now forced
19:00
Speaker 1: to move in with her daughter, Riley Kyo, very successful
19:04
Speaker 1: actress twenty seven years old. Yeah, she's in TV's The
19:07
Speaker 1: Girlfriend Experience. She was in mad Max Fury Road. She's
19:12
Speaker 1: taken out loans from friends to pay her debts. She
19:16
Speaker 1: says about a year ago, I discovered he spent you know,
19:18
Speaker 1: the million dollars and says she's getting money from her friends. Oh,
19:23
Speaker 1: then she got the double whammy her business former business
19:26
Speaker 1: managers had misused her funds. American Express and other entities
19:32
Speaker 1: are actually considering legal action against her. I don't think
19:36
Speaker 1: you should get a sin. I think you should have
19:38
Speaker 1: to go and make a living like the rest of
19:40
Speaker 1: us and quit living off her. And she should quit
19:43
Speaker 1: living off her father and get a job, a job
19:46
Speaker 1: like everybody. She's had a pretty good music career. Music
19:49
Speaker 1: is a tough business these days. But I mean the
19:52
Speaker 1: lady she can sing, and I like her music. Yes,
19:56
Speaker 1: she can sing. But see, it's great to be able
19:58
Speaker 1: to sing. But you have to go out and work.
20:01
Speaker 1: You have to go on the road, you have to
20:03
Speaker 1: cut c d s, you've got to appear on TV,
20:06
Speaker 1: get your get your stuff on the air. That ain't happening, Alan,
20:13
Speaker 1: It's a lifelong story of choices that she's made. She's
20:16
Speaker 1: been married four times now this is the end of
20:18
Speaker 1: her fourth divorce. She also says her home, it's a mansion.
20:23
Speaker 1: They call it, I guess Cose Hall. That's the one
20:26
Speaker 1: in England. That's the English estate, eleven bedroom, fifte century
20:32
Speaker 1: manner home in Sussex, England. She Lisa Marie claims it
20:37
Speaker 1: is quote no longer an asset because she owes five
20:40
Speaker 1: point four million, but it's got a value of two million. Oh.
20:46
Speaker 1: She blames out again on our business manager because he
20:48
Speaker 1: failed to make payments and now the taxes cost more
20:51
Speaker 1: than the value of the property. Her last husband before
20:55
Speaker 1: Lockwood was Nicolas Cage. And how many times have we
20:58
Speaker 1: had to do stories about Nicola cages finances in the
21:01
Speaker 1: same way and his business manager doing this and that
21:04
Speaker 1: to put him into the poorhouse, and his foreclosures and everything.
21:08
Speaker 1: So there's a trend here. Isn't he making a comeback? Oh? Well,
21:12
Speaker 1: he's a wonderful actor, but his choices with with business
21:16
Speaker 1: and and I guess mates has not helped him. I
21:20
Speaker 1: just don't know how you can be in so much
21:22
Speaker 1: money trouble when your dad was Elvis Presley but forget
21:26
Speaker 1: about that. What I'm worried about is those children and
21:30
Speaker 1: how this whole thing plays out to getting the children back.
21:33
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit in shock. Tell you the tell
21:36
Speaker 1: the truth. She says that the husband Lockwood had given
21:40
Speaker 1: their daughters a huge saltwater fish tank, seasons, passes to
21:44
Speaker 1: universal laptop, computer, cell phones, dressed as she used, toys,
21:48
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, all that within just six months,
21:54
Speaker 1: that he is driving a new car, all sorts of
21:57
Speaker 1: things that he did not tell the court. I I
22:00
Speaker 1: really don't know who to believe. But regardless of all
22:05
Speaker 1: their money issues, I mean, when you're sitting on that
22:08
Speaker 1: much money, you don't have a problem. According to me,
22:11
Speaker 1: people that have a problem don't have a home. Most
22:15
Speaker 1: of America, and I've been there. I know you are
22:19
Speaker 1: one paycheck away from eviction, one paycheck. And I lived
22:25
Speaker 1: that way almost my whole, you know, career as a
22:29
Speaker 1: local prosecutor. I mean, I lived from paycheck to paycheck,
22:33
Speaker 1: working two night jobs, teaching school to make a house
22:37
Speaker 1: note and a car note. And when I finished paying
22:40
Speaker 1: off that car, that was one of the happiest days
22:43
Speaker 1: of life. And when I finished paying off the student loan.
22:47
Speaker 1: I will never forget it. I wrote the same check
22:50
Speaker 1: every month for ten years, a hundred and seventy seven
22:53
Speaker 1: dollars and eleven cents, and I didn't know the loan
22:57
Speaker 1: was ended, and I sent one, they sent it back
23:00
Speaker 1: and they wrote me a check back, and that's when
23:02
Speaker 1: I knew. I finally paid off my loan and literally
23:06
Speaker 1: lived paycheck to paycheck. So when you claim you've frittered
23:11
Speaker 1: through three hundred million dollars, I don't have a lot
23:14
Speaker 1: of sympathy for that. I really don't what I do
23:17
Speaker 1: have sympathy about. And these two little girls, I'm just
23:21
Speaker 1: sick about it. I mean, how can you wake up
23:24
Speaker 1: in the morning and you don't have your children with you?
23:27
Speaker 1: How do you do that? And the hearing is not
23:31
Speaker 1: until March. I would have to have an emergency hearing,
23:37
Speaker 1: be custody hearing to get them out of defects custody.
23:41
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just really upset about it. Elvis Presley,
23:45
Speaker 1: Say what you Want has given so many people so
23:49
Speaker 1: much joy and so much happiness. I remember it. Before
23:53
Speaker 1: my father passed away. All he would listen to with
23:56
Speaker 1: serious radio, the Elvis Presley channel. We couldnot you cannot
24:01
Speaker 1: get in the car without it being on the Elvis channel.
24:04
Speaker 1: And now guess who does that. I just had to
24:06
Speaker 1: get Serious installed in my minivan because I didn't have it.
24:10
Speaker 1: It wasn't equipped so old, it wasn't equipped for serious.
24:14
Speaker 1: So my son John David God had here Elvis. So
24:18
Speaker 1: now we listen to it that and kids bop on
24:20
Speaker 1: the way to school. And he has given so much joy.
24:24
Speaker 1: And then look at his wife, Priscilla. She's kept a
24:27
Speaker 1: low profile and conducted herself like a real lady. Then
24:32
Speaker 1: I say that with only the best intentions, a fine person.
24:37
Speaker 1: All these years. You don't see her out at the
24:40
Speaker 1: nightclub's drunk, going out without her underwear on, like a
24:45
Speaker 1: lot of celebrities, getting in trouble, throwing fits behind on taxes,
24:52
Speaker 1: none of that, none of that. She has really held
24:56
Speaker 1: it together for Lisa Marie. And now look at this,
25:01
Speaker 1: look at it. You might as well just lay me
25:04
Speaker 1: out on the train track if somebody took my children away,
25:07
Speaker 1: just lay me out there and wait for a train
25:10
Speaker 1: to come. That's just. And you know, another thing I
25:13
Speaker 1: don't want to make light of is what it must
25:17
Speaker 1: be like growing up without your dad. And yes, she's
25:23
Speaker 1: a multi millionaire, but I don't I've never walked in
25:26
Speaker 1: her shoes. I don't know what she is contended with.
25:31
Speaker 1: I know she's been in rehab with some kind of
25:34
Speaker 1: a dependency, and you know that's so hard to beat.
25:38
Speaker 1: It's it's hell. It's like you're in prison with an addiction.
25:44
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to make light of that. But
25:46
Speaker 1: all I know is I'd be about the business of
25:48
Speaker 1: getting my children back and Nancy. We should note that
25:51
Speaker 1: Michael Lockwood has not been charged or arrested. In fact,
25:55
Speaker 1: all of these allegations that we're discussing arise solely out
25:59
Speaker 1: of the civil divorce and civil child custody filings by
26:03
Speaker 1: Lisa Marie Pressley in Los Angeles, California. Since concluding the
26:08
Speaker 1: recording of this podcast, Michael Lockwood issued a statement that
26:12
Speaker 1: was published by the Daily Mail of London, and I quote,
26:16
Speaker 1: I am disgusted that she described unproven allegations about me
26:19
Speaker 1: and a declaration that she filed in this course publicly
26:23
Speaker 1: accessible records, as I experienced during our more than ten
26:27
Speaker 1: year marriage, and I believe this court will learn Pressley
26:31
Speaker 1: has great difficulty being honest and she rarely, if ever
26:34
Speaker 1: accepts personal responsibility for her own wrongdoing. It is particularly
26:39
Speaker 1: distasteful that she has placed more value on trying to
26:42
Speaker 1: damage my reputation than on the fact that her fault
26:46
Speaker 1: statements may be brought to our daughter's attention. For the
26:49
Speaker 1: time being, I will not say anything else about such
26:51
Speaker 1: statements in her declaration other than that the allegations against
26:55
Speaker 1: both of us have not been proven. Again, thank you,
26:59
Speaker 1: simply say, for being with us today and making our
27:02
Speaker 1: podcast possible, simply safe, easy to install, and it works.
27:09
Speaker 1: Not only buys youth safety but peace of mind. Nancy
27:13
Speaker 1: Gray signing off Farm Crime Stories again, thank you for
27:17
Speaker 1: being with us. We will be there to report on
27:21
Speaker 1: the latest when this goes to court and anything between
27:25
Speaker 1: now and then. Goodbye friend,
