Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: 805, the 55KRC, the talk station. Happy Tuesday. It's that
- 0:06Speaker 1: time of week. I always am looking forward to 805
- 0:08Speaker 1: on a Tuesday morning here on the 55KRC Morning Show.
- 0:10Speaker 1: It's that time of week to get the inside scoop
- 0:12Speaker 1: with Breitbart News. Integral part of preparation for the 55KRC
- 0:16Speaker 1: Morning Show is relying on the great reporting at Breitbart News. B-R-E-I-T-B-A-R-T.com.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Bookmark it.
- 0:21Speaker 1: You'll be glad you did because then you'll get to
- 0:23Speaker 1: read some of the horrific reporting that Lowell Caulfield does.
- 0:26Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about his reporting. I'm talking about
- 0:27Speaker 1: the subject matter. Lowell, it is a real pleasure to
- 0:30Speaker 1: have you on the 55KRC Morning Show and distressing subject matter,
- 0:33Speaker 1: the child sex abuse cases that you regularly report on.
- 0:37Speaker 1: And this really seems to be a growing phenomenon. And
- 0:41Speaker 1: I'm going to pose a question to you, Lowell, before
- 0:44Speaker 1: we get started, because I think I know the answer
- 0:46Speaker 1: based upon your September 11th article about teacher sexual misconduct
- 0:49Speaker 1: being rampant. When I was a kid, high school, I
- 0:53Speaker 1: was aware at the time, as were, I think, every
- 0:56Speaker 1: single kid in my high school graduating class, there were
- 0:59Speaker 1: two teachers, both of them men in this particular case,
- 1:03Speaker 1: that were involved with girls in the student body. Now,
- 1:09Speaker 1: it was kind of like a nudge, nudge, wink, wink
- 1:11Speaker 1: kind of thing, and it went on, and it just happened.
- 1:14Speaker 1: I went to law school with a buddy who recounted
- 1:17Speaker 1: a story that he and one of his 16-year-old, I
- 1:19Speaker 1: believe at the time, friends, this was rural Kentucky, had
- 1:22Speaker 1: a threesome with one of their teachers, a woman teacher.
- 1:26Speaker 1: So it's been going on, and it's been going on
- 1:28Speaker 1: since I was a kid back in the 80s in
- 1:30Speaker 1: high school, and it seems to be a growing phenomenon. Lowell,
- 1:33Speaker 1: is it that the Internet exists and therefore we see
- 1:36Speaker 1: it more? Is it because teachers have not gotten the
- 1:39Speaker 1: memo that digital technology records all of the communications that
- 1:43Speaker 1: they have engaged in with these young people, so they're
- 1:46Speaker 1: going to get caught? Or is this happening more and
- 1:48Speaker 1: more often? Is it statistically increasing, Lowell?
- 1:52Speaker 2: Well, in the past 20, well, thanks for having me on.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Oh, I love it.
- 1:55Speaker 3: First of all, the interesting thing is in the past
- 1:59Speaker 3: two decades, it's become much more rampant. And there's several
- 2:02Speaker 3: reasons for that. And one of them is the internet,
- 2:05Speaker 3: but it's the internet in the sense that teachers and
- 2:09Speaker 3: students can now communicate secretly. They can pass to each
- 2:13Speaker 3: other photos back and forth. There can be grooming that
- 2:16Speaker 3: goes on. When I was a kid, we didn't have
- 2:20Speaker 3: that kind of thing. Our teacher wasn't going to slip
- 2:21Speaker 3: me a note. Plus, every teacher I had in high school,
- 2:24Speaker 3: I had no desire to be around. They were much older.
- 2:27Speaker 2: You know, Mrs.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Salter, she was like 55 and very mean. Now there's
- 2:32Speaker 3: so many more younger teachers because there's a teacher shortage.
- 2:36Speaker 3: And so they put like 22, 24, 25-year-old teachers in
- 2:38Speaker 3: connection with kids that are 17, 16.
- 2:45Speaker 2: And that kind of sexual thing can develop. There's also
- 2:49Speaker 2: another reason for the increase, and that is, they call
- 2:52Speaker 2: it a culture of permissiveness.
- 2:54Speaker 1: There you go.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Is that in school districts, you know, like you saw
- 2:59Speaker 3: the grooming behavior going on in your school. People don't
- 3:02Speaker 3: report that. Other teachers aren't going to report that. They
- 3:05Speaker 3: don't want to disrupt the harmony. You don't want to
- 3:07Speaker 3: accuse a fellow colleague of something. And then there's another
- 3:10Speaker 3: phenomenon they got. They call it passing the trash. When
- 3:14Speaker 3: a teacher gets caught doing this, they assign them to
- 3:18Speaker 3: another school or else they give them a recommendation to
- 3:21Speaker 3: go join another school district.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Well, that sounds like a Catholic Church way of dealing
- 3:25Speaker 1: with it.
- 3:26Speaker 2: This makes the Catholic Church thing.
- 3:28Speaker 3: I talked to the top researcher in the country on this,
- 3:32Speaker 3: and she said this makes the Catholic Church thing look
- 3:35Speaker 3: like child play. You know, when I first came to
- 3:37Speaker 3: work at Breitbart a year ago, and before that I'd
- 3:39Speaker 3: written a number of true crime books and doing documentaries for,
- 3:42Speaker 3: you know, television and a bunch of other stuff, all
- 3:45Speaker 3: very crime-related.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Every week I'd get an assignment, another teacher, another teacher.
- 3:50Speaker 3: And most of them were women having relationships with younger boys.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Kind of remember the Van Halen song, Hot for Teacher?
- 3:57Speaker 1: Hot for Teacher, of course I do.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Right.
- 3:59Speaker 3: But the tabloid coverage, you know, would kind of almost
- 4:02Speaker 3: pornographically play on that.
- 4:05Speaker 2: But actually.
- 4:06Speaker 3: As you noticed, the vast majority of stuff that goes on.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Is actually men teachers with younger girls. And it's interesting.
- 4:17Speaker 3: They have two different grooming methods. A female teacher when
- 4:21Speaker 3: she's grooming a young guy.
- 4:23Speaker 2: And this stuff is crazy.
- 4:25Speaker 3: I mean, some of these kids are 13 and 14
- 4:27Speaker 3: years old boys. Sometimes it's special education teachers. Often the
- 4:32Speaker 3: teachers are married and have kids.
- 4:34Speaker 2: I mean, it's absolutely nuts.
- 4:36Speaker 3: They will send them like sexual material, first of all,
- 4:39Speaker 3: you know, like flirtatious stuff, then nude pictures and things
- 4:43Speaker 3: like that. But when a man teacher grooms a young girl,
- 4:48Speaker 3: he convinces her that he's in love with her and
- 4:50Speaker 3: she's in love with him.
- 4:52Speaker 2: And there's no talk of sex or anything, but it
- 4:53Speaker 2: eventually goes to that. So, yeah, it's an amazing thing.
- 4:57Speaker 3: The great thing is the Trump administration has become aware
- 5:00Speaker 3: of this and the Department of Education.
- 5:03Speaker 2: They got a big crackdown going on. to try and
- 5:05Speaker 2: stop this, you know, pass the trash idea.
- 5:10Speaker 3: They're doing an investigation of the Los Angeles school district
- 5:14Speaker 3: on this, and they've got 20 other school districts in
- 5:18Speaker 3: their sites that try to stop it. Because, you know,
- 5:21Speaker 3: all the administrators, you know, and fellow teachers have to
- 5:25Speaker 3: help stop this. It's pretty apparent when something like this
- 5:30Speaker 3: is going on. But there's a tragedy to all this.
- 5:32Speaker 3: You know, when I was In middle school, I think
- 5:35Speaker 3: it was middle school, early high school, I had this
- 5:37Speaker 3: great science teacher.
- 5:39Speaker 2: And we were really into like chemistry and stuff.
- 5:41Speaker 3: And he took a bunch of us up on a
- 5:43Speaker 3: private kind of, you know, field trip to this place
- 5:47Speaker 3: that did laboratory equipment.
- 5:49Speaker 2: We bought a bunch of laboratory equipment. That cannot happen today.
- 5:52Speaker 3: You cannot go with a teacher in a car on
- 5:56Speaker 3: a thing because.
- 5:59Speaker 2: it becomes a grooming thing.
- 6:01Speaker 3: That's the real tragedy of this, is that the real
- 6:04Speaker 3: good relationships are getting ruined.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Well, I want to double back on something, a very
- 6:09Speaker 1: astute observation from you, Lowell, that the opportunity is created
- 6:15Speaker 1: because of the communications in social media. Maybe assignments are
- 6:19Speaker 1: doled out through a text from some teacher, but the
- 6:22Speaker 1: idea that a teacher could communicate directly at any given
- 6:26Speaker 1: moment of the day. I think that's a really important
- 6:29Speaker 1: part of Hammer Home, which would explain why this is
- 6:31Speaker 1: a growing phenomenon and not just one that's being uncovered
- 6:35Speaker 1: because of the paper trail they find themselves leaving. And
- 6:38Speaker 1: I can't get over that. You have an adult teacher
- 6:40Speaker 1: in a room that clearly, I don't care what, you know,
- 6:43Speaker 1: you have ignorance of law is no excuse, but I
- 6:44Speaker 1: think every human being on the planet once they reach
- 6:47Speaker 1: adulthood knows damn well that it's unlawful, illegal, immoral, and
- 6:52Speaker 1: is prosecutable if you have sex with a a 12
- 6:55Speaker 1: year old or 13 year old. So knowing that they
- 6:58Speaker 1: still engage in these communications, they, they take video of
- 7:02Speaker 1: their sexual antics. They take nude pictures of themselves and
- 7:05Speaker 1: send them to students. I mean, that to me reflects
- 7:07Speaker 1: oblivion and ignorance beyond anything I can even comprehend.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Fortunately, one of.
- 7:12Speaker 3: The things I learned about in covering it doing, I mean,
- 7:15Speaker 3: literally decades of covering crime and trying to understand the
- 7:18Speaker 3: criminal mind, the, The thing that any criminal likes is
- 7:24Speaker 3: the pursuit.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Even a bank robber preparing for the bank robbery.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Is the high rather than doing the bank robbery. It's
- 7:32Speaker 3: kind of a dopamine hit that takes place. When somebody
- 7:36Speaker 3: is going to score for drugs, the highest they're going
- 7:38Speaker 3: to be is on their way to score the drugs.
- 7:41Speaker 3: This is the same kind of thing. The chase is
- 7:46Speaker 3: more exciting than the catch. So the fact that they
- 7:49Speaker 3: could do this on the internet is, is the high
- 7:52Speaker 3: that they can develop this kind of relationship. And they
- 7:55Speaker 3: use Snapchat seems to be a favorite and they've been
- 7:58Speaker 3: busted so many times on Snapchat because you can go
- 8:02Speaker 3: to Snapchat, you know, with a search warrant, right. And, uh, and,
- 8:07Speaker 3: and then private email and then FaceTime FaceTime is a very,
- 8:11Speaker 3: is a favorite.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Uh, but it's crazy.
- 8:13Speaker 3: I mean, there's been, I've got, I've covered cases here,
- 8:16Speaker 3: but I've got one. And I was thinking, you know,
- 8:18Speaker 3: this is Ohio. I know your, your audience is Ohio
- 8:21Speaker 3: and Kentucky. There's a 28 year old Ohio teacher pled
- 8:24Speaker 3: guilty earlier this year for a sexual relationship with a
- 8:27Speaker 3: 15 year old whom she reportedly inundate with hundreds of
- 8:31Speaker 3: calls and thousands of learned texts.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Uh, good news is nearby Kentucky. He just passed the
- 8:37Speaker 2: law in July and anti yeah.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Anti grooming law. And, uh, They can try to pounce
- 8:44Speaker 2: before sex actually happens if they start seeing inappropriate communications
- 8:50Speaker 2: and things like that.
- 8:51Speaker 3: But yeah, it's, I mean, every week I work, I
- 8:56Speaker 3: know there's one coming that I'm going to write about.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. I'm always looking, is this
- 9:03Speaker 1: a nefarious element to what's going on or is just
- 9:05Speaker 1: this part of the woke reality we're dealing with? Young people,
- 9:09Speaker 1: K through six, being introduced to this broad spectrum of gender,
- 9:15Speaker 1: whatever the gender realities those people live, whatever fantasy world
- 9:17Speaker 1: they live in. But it necessarily, like transgender, necessarily requires
- 9:22Speaker 1: you to discuss sexual behavior. Why is someone gay or lesbian?
- 9:27Speaker 1: Because they like to have sex with members of the
- 9:30Speaker 1: same sex. That's a horse of a different color for
- 9:33Speaker 1: me because you must engage in topics involving sexual relations.
- 9:38Speaker 1: That seems to me an avenue to get a teacher's
- 9:40Speaker 1: foot in the door to have broader, perhaps more vivid
- 9:43Speaker 1: conversations with these individuals, again, through social media, however they
- 9:46Speaker 1: interact with these young people they're trying to groom. The
- 9:49Speaker 1: topic itself has been brought into the classroom.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Well, absolutely. That actually starts at five years old. Sexual
- 9:55Speaker 2: education in most schools starts at five years old.
- 9:58Speaker 3: By the time they're eight, they're taught how to masturbate.
- 10:01Speaker 2: I mean, it's insane. But you're right.
- 10:04Speaker 3: Like you used to go to your teacher on a
- 10:06Speaker 3: private meeting and say, how do I get the diction right?
- 10:09Speaker 2: I can't seem to write a good first paragraph.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Now you're going to their office and talking about, I
- 10:14Speaker 3: don't quite understand the sexual relationships that.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Are going on. Exactly.
- 10:20Speaker 3: Two men, can you help explain that? Like you said,
- 10:23Speaker 3: it opens up the subject. It's wide open. We have
- 10:27Speaker 3: this whole, I say the culture of permissiveness is not
- 10:30Speaker 3: only in the school districts, it's in society. I mean,
- 10:33Speaker 3: you can log on at 12 and start watching porn.
- 10:38Speaker 2: It's ubiquitous. Sex is ubiquitous. It is.
- 10:44Speaker 1: And the other surprising thing, of course, all of the
- 10:46Speaker 1: stories that we're talking about here that you've written about
- 10:49Speaker 1: and so many others involving female teachers having sexual relations
- 10:52Speaker 1: with young boys, that to me is just, maybe, I
- 10:57Speaker 1: suppose we've all come to the realization at this moment
- 11:00Speaker 1: in time, it isn't only men who have libidos. I
- 11:03Speaker 1: guess women have equal, uncontrollable sexual urges, so we're all
- 11:08Speaker 1: an equal playing field when it comes to our desire.
- 11:10Speaker 1: The cutoff point is, whether they're a minor or an
- 11:13Speaker 1: adult lowell, And I remember dating. Everybody has that chase.
- 11:16Speaker 1: They love the chase, the excitement. I'm getting ready to
- 11:18Speaker 1: go on a date. But you're doing it with an
- 11:21Speaker 1: adult or someone your own age. That's a normal thing
- 11:24Speaker 1: to experience when you're in a relationship or pursuing a relationship.
- 11:27Speaker 1: But the idea that it exists between an adult person
- 11:30Speaker 1: and a young person, it's just twisted, man. How do
- 11:33Speaker 1: we get rid of this? How did this become a
- 11:35Speaker 1: phenomenon where it's almost socially acceptable to have sex with
- 11:38Speaker 1: a little kid?
- 11:40Speaker 3: No, it's... there's actually people that, uh, I, and I
- 11:47Speaker 3: haven't written about this, but I've heard there's organizations that,
- 11:50Speaker 3: that are trying to actually promote pedophilia.
- 11:52Speaker 1: That it's, uh, well, NAMBLA, right?
- 11:55Speaker 2: Yeah, right. Exactly.
- 11:56Speaker 3: That wasn't, thanks for reminding me of that.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Who was doing that?
- 12:00Speaker 1: Man Boy Love Association.
- 12:02Speaker 2: I mean, okay, go ahead.
- 12:03Speaker 1: I don't mean to interrupt man, but that didn't even
- 12:06Speaker 1: exist is mind blowing.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Well, here, here's the myth. Here's the myth. Okay. Uh,
- 12:11Speaker 2: It's like the Van Halen song. I actually imprinted... The.
- 12:15Speaker 3: Great thing about writing for Breitbart is I can make
- 12:17Speaker 3: it multimedia. I can put videos in my stories, and
- 12:20Speaker 3: I put a link to that great Van Halen song,
- 12:23Speaker 3: Hot for Teacher, right? And the myth is it's a
- 12:27Speaker 3: cool thing to have if.
- 12:28Speaker 2: You're a young boy.
- 12:30Speaker 3: I've done research into the young boys, and this affects
- 12:33Speaker 3: them for life.
- 12:34Speaker 2: It kind of screws them up. It does.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Because the teacher is very predatory. This is not like
- 12:40Speaker 3: a relationship... Although you remember the Mary Kay Luterno case
- 12:44Speaker 3: with the woman and she ended up marrying.
- 12:47Speaker 2: The guy when he got older and all that. Remember
- 12:49Speaker 2: that one?
- 12:49Speaker 1: That was kind of the first one.
- 12:52Speaker 3: But in most cases, it's a predatory relationship. It's a
- 12:55Speaker 3: control power relationship. It's not a healthy relationship.
- 12:59Speaker 2: It's not like, you know, hey, I'm 14 and I'm
- 13:02Speaker 2: dating a 24 year old.
- 13:04Speaker 3: It's not like I'm a 23-year-old guy dating a cougar.
- 13:10Speaker 2: These are not adults.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Boys really don't come out of adolescence until they're around
- 13:15Speaker 3: 24 or 25.
- 13:16Speaker 2: So, yeah, it will affect them for life.
- 13:21Speaker 3: I had one guy that was in one of my stories,
- 13:25Speaker 3: and he was just warning everybody. He says, you think
- 13:27Speaker 3: this is cool? This is not cool. This has screwed
- 13:31Speaker 3: up my whole life.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Well, and your September 11th report does quote some of
- 13:35Speaker 1: the young people who were impacted by this, and they
- 13:37Speaker 1: were profoundly impacted. So it's a child. Boy, girl, it's
- 13:42Speaker 1: a child. You're going to screw their life up. And
- 13:43Speaker 1: I talk, Lowell, as though someone in the listening audience
- 13:47Speaker 1: is this person. It's kind of the way I view
- 13:50Speaker 1: it when I'm on a morning show. So I'm talking
- 13:51Speaker 1: to you, pervert.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Stop it.
- 13:54Speaker 1: It's terrible on children. Um, what, what is it? This
- 13:57Speaker 1: seems to me just to be begging for parent or
- 13:59Speaker 1: parental involvement. You are letting the world know Lowell that
- 14:02Speaker 1: this is out here. It's worse than every, anybody ever
- 14:05Speaker 1: could have conceived it to be. What do we need
- 14:07Speaker 1: to do? Stay in touch with our children, talk with
- 14:09Speaker 1: them regularly, get them off social media. Is there any
- 14:12Speaker 1: simple solution Lowell?
- 14:14Speaker 3: We have a society where both mother and father are
- 14:18Speaker 3: required to work.
- 14:20Speaker 2: I would say, because we've got to pay so many taxes. Okay.
- 14:23Speaker 3: So you need both couple, an entire couple, or you've
- 14:27Speaker 3: got a single mom. Now, you know, my daughter is
- 14:29Speaker 3: a single mom. She's pretty much overwhelmed all the time.
- 14:34Speaker 3: She's so busy. She's got so many things to do.
- 14:37Speaker 3: There isn't the scrutiny by parents, right? Remember the latchkey kids?
- 14:42Speaker 1: Oh, sure.
- 14:44Speaker 3: We're raising latchkey kids. You know, they come home, they go,
- 14:47Speaker 3: we don't know what they're doing. And now we don't
- 14:50Speaker 3: know what they're doing on the internet.
- 14:52Speaker 1: And 24-7 porn.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 14:56Speaker 1: So the Latke kid comes in, logs onto the porn site,
- 14:58Speaker 1: then engages in social media discussions with his or her teacher,
- 15:01Speaker 1: and the rest seems to be history. We've made it
- 15:04Speaker 1: really easy for this to happen. We need to get
- 15:06Speaker 1: on top of it. We need to pay closer attention
- 15:08Speaker 1: and maybe get our kids off social media. I know
- 15:09Speaker 1: that's a big ask, Lowell, but that seems to be
- 15:12Speaker 1: the solution to the whole problem. Lowell Caulfield. It's been
- 15:15Speaker 1: great having you on the show. I look forward to
- 15:16Speaker 1: having you back on again. We do this segment every
- 15:18Speaker 1: week with somebody from the Breitbart staff, and it's been
- 15:20Speaker 1: a great conversation. Frightening, but enlightening. And, of course, this
- 15:23Speaker 1: is the kind of information that we're going to find
- 15:24Speaker 1: on Breitbart. Lowell, I hope we get to do it
- 15:27Speaker 1: again soon.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Fantastic.
- 15:28Speaker 2: I look forward to it.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Take care, my friend. Have a wonderful week.
- 15:31Speaker 2: It's 820.
