  Speaker 1: Before we start today's show, I want to make a
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: few official statements. Number one, I don't want to, I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: have no plan to, and if I do in the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: near future, you know who did it. Number two, all
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: facts presented in today's episode can be independently verified by
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: visiting the resources document and the description of this episode.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: And number three, all parties are considered innocent until proven
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: guilty in a court of law, unless they're already proven
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: guilty than you, especially with today's episode. Welcome to the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Conspiracy Files. Today we're talking about politicians. Let's do a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: deep dive. So pet politicians. This is something that's been
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: coming for a long time here on the show. It's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: one of the things that absolutely discussed me and enrages
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: me and pisses me off. People in positions of power
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: who get elected, they harness the power that they have
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to gain control over the future of America, and behind
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the scenes, they're rape kids, they're sharing child They're like
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the demons of society, the worst possible people. And this
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: is a widespread problem. This isn't one or two people
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in government that just happen to like children or have
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: an attraction to kids. This is a major institutional problem.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm not even talking about pet rings. I'm not
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: talking about Epstein. Today's episode doesn't involve any real organized
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: element that we're going to be exposing. We're just going
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to be going down a list and exploring the cases
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of politicians who have been elected, they've put the work
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: in and while they were you know, serving America quote unquote,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: they were exposed for being pet. Now, this is a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: very disturbing episode. We're going to be covering a lot
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of dark details, so listener viewer discretion is heavily advised here.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: But please, if you value this show, if you like

  Speaker 1: wherever you get your researcher, you do your research, Help
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: me spread the word about what we're doing here. Because
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: this is a grassroots show, it's not funded by anybody.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: This is just me sitting here rambling about things that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I care about in a bedroom in my house. Anything
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you guys can do to help helps. You could even
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: post clips from the show on TikTok. You can do
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: whatever with this footage.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Just help me spread the word.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Without further ado, let's get into today's story, and I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: want to thank Rebecca Whitworth for helping bring this.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Stuff to light.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: She's an incredible writer and researcher who has helped make
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the show possible.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: So thank you, Rebecca.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: According to poly Engine, there are approximately five hundred and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: nineteen thousand, six hundred and eighty two politicians in power
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: currently in the United States, and that doesn't even include
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: retired representatives or people who previously help positions of power
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the military or government. These include a multitude of officials
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: such as senators, ministers, governors, mayors, councilors, representatives, speakers, judges,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and many others who were elected to their positions. Many
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of us assume we know what tasks they do on
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a daily basis, such as vote on legislation, campaign and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: raise money, But what else really goes on behind the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: scenes of America's greatest puppets, the elite two percent. You
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: see American politicians and their alleged participation in Child's crimes
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: should be no surprise, especially in recent years with the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: development of the Jeffrey Epstein affair and all the people
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that were associated with that, whether they had a lot
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to do with it or had nothing to do with it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about everybody from Bill Clinton to Kevin Spacey
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to Trump, whether or not they were guilty or implicit
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in these activities. There is still an association between Jeffrey Epstein,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the most infamous child trafficker probably of all time at
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: this point, and these people that are in power in politics.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And I want to remind everybody this episode and this
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: series as a whole, is not political. If I bring
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: up at crimes that a Democratic politician committed, I'm not
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: criticizing all Democrats, and that goes same way for Republicans.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I am not a political guy myself. This whole show,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the whole point of this is to open your eyes
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to what's really happening, because they're coming for you. They're
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: not coming for these people that we're talking about. The
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: people that are being victimized, especially in stories like this,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: are innocent children, and it doesn't matter what the child's
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: parents' political affiliations are.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: To these people.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: They just see victims, they see dollar signs, they see
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: blackmail opportunities. So I want to remind everybody this is
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: not a political show, but we're going to expose some
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: politicians today. In f y sixteen alone, child protective services
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: agencies substantiated or found strong evidence to indicate that fifty
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: seven thousand, three hundred and twenty nine children were victims
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of second abuse. It was also said that one in
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: nine girls and one in twenty boys under the age
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: of eighteen teen experience sebuse or assault. So just how
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: many politicians out there are really praying on young children
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and committing crimes against them. Today we're going to be
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: taking a look at just how many politicians are convicted
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: pet and have been running the United States of America
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: across every single state. And we're going to start with
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Alabama and the case of Roy Moore. Roy Moore was
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: an American politician, lawyer, and jurist who served as Chief
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama from two thousand
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and one to two thousand and three and again from
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: twenty thirteen to twenty seventeen. Terry Parker of local news
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: station WPBF twenty five News reported on the allegations against
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Roy in twenty seventeen.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Take a look.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Saying his reason for doing so here quote, I worry
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: it will be impossible to give my constituents the full
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: attention they deserve. But he goes on to say, I
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: adamantly deny all allegations that have been made and will
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: pursue all avenues in an effort to prove my innocence.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Another was notably Lee Corp, who in twenty seventeen told
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: The Washington Post that Roy Moore had initiated an unwanted
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: sect counter with her when she was fourteen, which would
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: have been a felony under state law. Another victim was
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Beverly Young Nelson, who claimed she had received unwanted attention
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: from Roy Moore when she was fifteen years old. Now, obviously,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Roy Moore himself vehemently denied these allegations.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Take a look.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I want to dress what's been brought out on television
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: today by Gloria already and a client that she has
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: about things I allegedly did. I want to make it
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: perfectly clear that people of Alabama know me, they know
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: my character, they know what I've stood for in the
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: political world for over forty years. And I can tell
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: you without hesitation, this is absolutely false. I never did
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: what she said I did. I don't even know the woman.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know anything about her. I don't even know
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: where the restaurant is or was.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: So this is just beginning to scratch the surface. And
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: like I said, as we go down this list, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: think you're going to be absolutely flabbergasted, because no state
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: is immune from this stuff.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Alaska.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: According to the People's Voice, Democratic state Senator from Alaska,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: George Jacko, was found guilty of sect harassment of an
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: underage legislative page in nineteen ninety three. In twenty twelve,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the former Republican mayor of Ketchikan, Alaska, Jack Shay, pled
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: guilty in a plea deal reducing his ninety one charges
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: of child partner down to seven. He served as the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: mayor of Ketchikan in nineteen seventy nine and again in
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two. Then in twenty sixteen, the Mexican Navy
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: captured Alaskan house magnate Bill Weimar on a warrant for
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: charges of sssaulting a six year old girl in Florida,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and after his arrest, he was sentenced to six months
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: in prison, six months home confinement, and fined seventy five
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars by.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Anchorage Federal court. So there you have.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Three officials in Alaska convicted of pet crimes. These are
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: people that are infiltrating every single bracket of American politics
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and society. And these are people that are in power
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that are running our country and behind closed doors and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: behind the curtains, the kids or consuming child points. Arizona,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty three, former Arizona representative David Stringer was
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: arrested on suspicion of paying two children under the age
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of fifteen to have with them. David allegedly paid the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: boys ten dollars after he performed orals on them and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: had them returned the favor on him. David later benefited
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: from a plea deal that hid his.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Arrest for child prints.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So no one really knew about this child charge and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: how you know, terrible these things that David had done were.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: But in twenty nineteen, an Arizona news station reported that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Stringer had suddenly resigned.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Last summer, the Prescott Republican came under fire for racist
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: comments about Latinos and African Americans. Then news reports in
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: January revealed Stringer had been charged with sex related offenses
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: thirty years ago. Stringer was banned campuses in the largest
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: school district in the community he serves. Governor Doug Doucy
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: and other top Republicans urged Stringer to resign, but Stringer resisted.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: The beginning of the end came when the House of
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Representatives voted in January to start an ethics investigation. Investigator
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: subpoenage Stringer's criminal records, which had been expunged, and required
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: him to sit for an interview. The deadline to submit
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: the records was five PM today. Stringer refused, and one
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: hour before that deadline he finally quit.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Hmm bizarre the government helping hide to prior convictions.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Who would he guessed another?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: According to Newstation Arizona's family, In twenty twenty four, Senator
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Otonial Tony Navarette was sentenced to one year in prison,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: followed by ten years for repeatedly assaulting a child. Additionally,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: he was arrested in twenty nineteen and indicted in twenty
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: twenty one on seven other child's crime charges. Yet publicly
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: he did the allegations.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Thank his reason for doing so here quote I worry
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: it will be impossible to give my constituents the full
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: attention they deserve. But he goes on to say, I
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: adamantly deny all allegations that have been made and will
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: pursue all avenues in an effort to prove my innocence.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Of course, those denials were alie, and he was guilty
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: of a number, a litany of disgusting crimes against children.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: But there's so many pett here. We can't spend too
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: much time on just one. We have to keep moving.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: According to Newsweek, Republican candidate for the Maricopa County Community
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: College District's governing board, a man named Randy Kaufman, was
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: arrested and charged with indecency after he was allegedly found
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: mastered near a preschool on October fourth, twenty twenty two.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: The police report, when media outlets got a copy of
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it and they reviewed it, revealed exactly why Randy Kaufman,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that guy who was campaigning to be a part of
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a community college government board. It revealed why he was
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: master near preschool. He claims he was stress. Then there's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Rules Committee Chair Representative Anthony Kern, who prevented testimony from
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: child sex abuse survivors in order to protect predators.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Anthony Kern tried to stop these children from testifying and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: tried to stop their stories from being put out when
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: predators were on trial. Don't know the exact details of
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: why he did that, but uh, they should check his
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: hard drive. According to ksl Utah News, Republican Maricopa County
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Assessor Paul Peterson was indicted for human trafficking and selling
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: children in twenty nineteen. He additionally worked as an adoption lawyer,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and he ran a scheme where he was recruiting pregnant women,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: paying them and basically enticing them into giving up their
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: own babies for adoption.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: So just a truly despicable.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Guy selling children, human trafficking, paying pregnant women to give
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: up their children for what reason? What drives a sick
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: individual to do such a thing. And I'm sure there
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: are so many more peents that haven't been ounced, but
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: we got a lot of states to get through.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Arkansas.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: In the Arkansas Democrat Gazette in twenty eighteen, previous chairman
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: of the Pulaski County Democratic Party, Harold Moody, distributed child
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and smoked meth was seated at his desk in the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: county administration building. It was reported in the news at
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the time that Moody was distributing images of babies and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: young children being assaulted, and eventually hosting chat room streams
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: where he showed these images and videos. Obviously, he was
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: arrested and kicked out after this, But a previous chairman
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party smoking meth and distributing child port
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: in a government building. I don't know how you can
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: get sicker than that. In an Arkansas Times article from
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, Republican politician Andrew Bier of Arkansas
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: was charged with two counts of first degree sodomy.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: With a thirteen year old boy.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: This just goes to show both parties have their own
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: people that are guilty and complacent in this sort of abuse.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: But onto a bigger state, California. Former Democratic Deputy Attorney
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: General from California, Raymond Liddy, was arrested for possession of
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: child in twenty twenty and was sentenced to five years
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: of probation. He was found with hard drives containing sexually
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: explicit images depicting prepubescent girls. Deputy Attorney General, the top
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: cop in the state, one of them and he's got
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: child car drive. Does he go to prison? Does he
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: go to jail? No, he's a powerful politician in the state.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: So he gets five years of probation for perpetuating the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: insane abuse that these children suffered by downloading and disseminating
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: these images and videos. I mean, couldn't be more horrific.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: In two thousand and two, Republican legislative aide Howard L.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Brooks for Phil Wyman, was charged with five felony counts,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: carrying a maximum of seventeen years in prison. Counts that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: included committing a loud act on a child, continuous abuse
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of a child, oral copulation with a minor younger than fourteen,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: providing lude material to a minor, and possession of child partners.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Republican judge Ronald C. Clein of California was placed under
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: house arrest for child molestation and possession of child fee
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: in two.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Thousand and seven.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: So you've got multiple politicians here possessing child including a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: judge who's sentencing people to prison time, while at the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: same time building up a sick library of child's abuse material.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: And according to a Los Angeles Times article, Republican Brian
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: O'Toole was convicted of child molestation in the year nineteen ninety.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: This list just goes on and on and on.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's really disturbing stuff when you see judges,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: just to reiterate that point, somebody who's supposed to uphold
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the lawn, who sentences people for their dirty deeds, committing
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the dirtiest of deeds behind the scenes while he's sitting
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: up their smug with that fucking gavel telling you you
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: need to go to prison for having a gram of cocaine.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to be allowed to.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Watch children get rid of my free time and jack
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: off to it.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: That's fucking disgusting.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: God.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Colorado Republican Congresswomen Lauren Bolbert's husband was arrested in January
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: two thousand and four after allegedly exposing his penis to
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: two women at a bowling alley, according to an arrest affidavit.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: As recounted in a New York Post article, Lauren Bobert
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: was then a miner at that same time, at seventeen
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: years old, and was known as Lauren ople Rock. He
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: eventually pled guilty to public in decency and loot exposure
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: involving miners oh yeah, he didn't just flash normal adults.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: He flashed children. Then you have Democratic state representative candidate
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: for Colorado Andrew Myers, who, after running and getting in
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the public eye, was convicted for possession of child and
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: enticing children. Then you've got Democratic former mayor Anthony Silva,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: who served from twenty thirteen to twenty seventeen, who was
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: charged with providing alcohol to miners during a game of
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: strip poker that included a sixteen year old boy at
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a camp for underprivileged children run by the mayor. So
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the mayor was running a charitable camp for underprivileged kids.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: This is the mayor, the.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Face of your city, and he goes to this camp,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: gives children alcohol and plays strip poker with kids, preying
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: on the underprivileged children. It's disgusting. According to a Denver
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: news station. In two thousand and two, Republican Parole board
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: officer and former Colorado state Representative Larry Jack Schwartz was
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: fired after child was found in his possession. Parole board
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: officer a guy working with the cops and the Justice
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Department with child porn. An Associated Press article reported that
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: anti tax, conservative city council member Brian McKenzie from Craig,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Colorado was sentenced to ten years of probation for attempted
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: sect of a child in twenty nineteen, and in twenty
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: twenty one, in severance, Colorado Mayor Donald Marceau McLoud, a Republican,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: resigned after being arrested for child prime You see, an
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: anonymous citizen reported that they had watched a miner as
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: they were being dragged into a van which ended up
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: belonging to Donald McLeod. Now, that boy reported that he
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: had met the mayor, mister McLeod on the gay dating
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: app Grinder, and he had told him initially that he
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: was nineteen, but when he confessed to his status as
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: a miner, Donald told him that isn't an issue. God,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: this touches every single part of American politics. And now
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: we get to Connecticut. Republican mayor and former state representative
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Philip Giordano is currently serving a thirty seven year sentence
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: in federal prison for abusing eight and ten year old
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: girls in March of two thousand and three. At the time,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Giordano was convicted of fourteen counts of arranging contact with
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: children when the FBI raided his home and looked into
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: what he was doing behind the scenes. They also found
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: phone records and pictures of Mayor Giordano with the as
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: well as her ten year old niece and her ten
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: year old daughter. He apparently had hired this and had
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: asked her to bring her niece and her daughter with
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: him so that he could them, and in twenty thirteen,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: WTNH News reported that Jordano felt that he was wrong.
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: Attorneys for disgraced former Waterbury Mayor Philip Giordano are trying
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: to convince the federal judge to grant him a new trial.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: In two thousand and three, Giedana was since the thirty
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: seven years in prison after being convicted of sexual abusing
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: two young girls while he was in office. Today, attorneys
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: for Giordano argued in Bridgeport Federal Court that his original
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: trial lawyer made mistakes the costs of former Mayor's freedom
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: among those miscues. According to Giordano's new council fail into
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: the subpoena records from the Department of Children and Families.
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: If that lawyer does the job that they're supposed to do,
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: defends that person to the best of their ability with
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: all the information that's out there, and there's a conviction,
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: so be it. Then the jury has had an opportunity
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: to people. I've had an opportunity to judge this person
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: and convict that that is a that is a true
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: and correct conviction. In this case, it didn't happen.
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: Giordano is currently serving his time at a federal prison
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: outside of Connecticut. No word on when the judge will
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: decide on his appeal.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, though, it was revealed by both
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: girls both victims, in independent interviews that Giordano never one
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: time apologized for his actions.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Totally sick.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: According to an article in The New York Times published
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, Republican legislator Peter Dibble pleaded
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: no contest to having an inappropriate relationship with a thirteen
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: year old girl. It was reported that he had been
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: molesting her since she was ten years old, and even
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: after the allegations, he didn't resign or even take a
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: leave of absence. He said he's going to stick with it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: That is, until he was eventually convicted. In twenty sixteen,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Gary Shaffrick, state GOP treasurer in Connecticut, was accused of
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: child endangerment, which sounded a lot like assault. Apparently, Gary
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: that GOP treasurer reportedly enjoyed bathing nude with a five
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: year old boy who wasn't his family member. Bathed naked
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: with this child. He also liked to sit this naked
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: child on his lap, and he shared a bed with
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: this child at sleepovers. This is a grown adult doing
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: this with a five year old child, according to the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Hartford Current. In twenty eighteen, GOP Farmington, Connecticut Town council
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: member John Landry carried out an extramarital affair for years
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: with a young woman he had met online when she
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: was just twelve years old, and according to her, he
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: began having with her after she turned sixteen.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: What to say? What to say? What to say? I
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: don't really know.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Delaware Republican City Council when Fred C. Smeltzer Junior pled
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: no contest to a fifteen year old girl and served
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: six months in prison in two thousand and five. In
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, Eric Bodenweiser, GOP state Senate candidate, according to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: an article onware online, was rested for over one hundred
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: counts of child's abuse and pleaded no contest to lesser charges.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: He additionally was accused of touching the genitals of a
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: fifteen year old boy multiple times between the years of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven and nineteen ninety one. WBOC News was
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: actually live during his trial in nineteen ninety one, and
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: here's the clip.
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: Bodenwiser himself took the stand, so WOC caught up with
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: one of his attorneys, Eric Mooney, to ask him what
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: to expect.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: He will maintain that he never sexually molested anyone, including
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: this accuser.
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: And that's exactly what he did. He pointed out inconsistencies
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: with the accuser's story, including what is referred to as
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: the tanning bed incident. The accuser said he was molested
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: by a tanning bed in the master bedroom, but on
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: the stand, Bodenweiser said that that was impossible due to
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: the room size. It would have never fit in there,
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: he said. When his attorney asked him if he ever
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: tried to put it in there, he said that the
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: bedroom didn't even have the right type of outlet to
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: do so. On the stand, so he did admit that
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: showing the boy adult movies. He said it all started
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: in nineteen ninety one. I came back to the house
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: and went in the bedroom, he said in there was
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: the boy in the bedroom and he was looking at
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: a playboy. At first, he says, he told the boy
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: to go home, but eventually he said he let the
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: boy watch adult movies three or four times. I thought
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: I'd show him, he said, a horrible mistake. But Wantser
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: then got some harsh questioning from the state, at one
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: point asking were you attracted to younger men at this time?
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: His response then and threw out the case to this question,
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: was no.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: So as you can see, it doesn't matter what part
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: of the country you're in, it doesn't matter what political
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: party you are allegedly serving. To have infested every part
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: of American society and politics. And this is a really
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: important video. I feel like for people to watch to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: show it's not just one party, it's not just one
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: type of person. This is everybody. And now we get
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to Florida. The Washington Post reported that Florida Republican Congressman
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Mark Foley abruptly resigned from com riss after explicit email
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: surface showing him flirting with a sixteen year old boy
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and six, But in twenty fifteen, the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Associated Press Archive reported that he was back in the
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: public eye. Mark was on talk radio speaking to groups
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of young Republicans.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Those an attendance said they see Foley as the future
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: leader of the community.
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: He was a good man, and he was good for
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: the state of Florida, and he was good for our
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: district when he was a congressman.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: So I think we have to overlook We all have
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: iniquities that we have to overcome.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: Foley stayed very much out of the media spotlight during
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: his hiatus. It wasn't until about a year ago he
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: decided to re emerge in the political arena.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: This radio was the opening of a microphone that Mark
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Foley's voices out.
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: And I think being part of that debate is not
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: ever going to be out of my system.
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: It doesn't mean I have to be an active person
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: with a named badge.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: Well, if you haven't forgotten his down there are signs
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: that some have forgiven Folly and still respect his political views.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: Suzet le Boidi associated press.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: So he resigned from Congress after sexplicit emails between him
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and a sixteen year old boy were published, and then
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: years later he couldn't resist being around children. Mark Foley
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: wriggled himself back in with a group of youths and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: was speaking to them. Now, after this all was made
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: public and people news stations reminded the public of what
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: this guy had done in the past, there was an outrage,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: But of course, I mean, I think stuff like that
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: should be They should be in prison for much longer than.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: These people get.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: In two thousand and seven, New York Times announced that
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Republican prosecutor John David roy Atchison had been arrested on
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: charges of flying across the country to try to have
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: with a five year old girl. This is the prosecutor
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: of a county. This is the guy choosing what cases
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: they're going to fight. Fighting these cases supposedly a Knight
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: in Shining Armor, a Knight of justice for victims flying
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: across the country.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: To triffs to a five year old girl.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Now, John David roy Atchison, after this all came out,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: committed super later that year. There's still a lot of
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: questions there, but I think you can assume that he
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: was guilty based on his final action. In two thousand
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and eight, according to Newsweek, Albert Andre Zimmerman, a GOP
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: appointed spokesperson for the State of Florida Department of children
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and families. Was charged with eight counts eight counts of
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: trying to entice two teenage boys to take photos of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: themselves while they were He wanted these children to send
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: him photos and videos of them pleasuring themselves so that
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: he could get off to it, but he got caught, thankfully.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Kevin Hahn, the former mayor of Brooksville, Florida, an unsuccessful
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Republican primary candidate for Hernando County Commission, was arrested for
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: possessing child twenty twenty one, according to a Florida county
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: news page called The Hernando Sun. The article reported that quote,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: investigators executed a search warrant at Hoan's residence. An examination
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: of an external hard drive revealed more than one hundred
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: images depicting miners engaging in conduct, and that some of
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: it had been covertly recorded inside.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Of Hoan's home. End quote.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: So once again you have a mayor and a candidate
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: not only possessing child, but recording child pornography secretly inside
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: of his home. It can be assumed that this was
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: relatives of his. I don't know the exact details, but
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just disturbing whichever way you cut it.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: In an article by the Tallahassee Democrat. In twenty twenty one,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Eric Lippman, who was appointed by the governor and a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: part of the General Council for the Florida Elections Commission,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: was investigated for nineteen files that were found in his
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: email account, which all contained child abuse material, as well
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: as a number of disturbing Internet searches that he made
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: on his work laptop searching for child abuse material, child pornography,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: behavior and images and videos of children between the ages
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: of three and five years old. Once again, I don't
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: know why these feel the need to actually look up
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: this child's material on their work computer or in their
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: places of work. It's absolutely insane that they can't control
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: themselves that they have to do this on their work
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: computer or like the guy from Arkansas in the government
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: building smoking meth and spreading childs and it's really disturbing.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: These people feel like they have so much power, that
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: they're above the law, and they're not. I'm just here
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: to remind you that they're not. And if you're when
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: you're watching this or listening to this, we're coming for you.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I'm coming for you, and your time's up.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: But back to Florida.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, The Orlando Sentinel reported that former judicial
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: candidate Andrew John Jones pleaded guilty to child abuse and
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: tampering with evidence after he teenage girl working on his
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: campaign and got no jail time. That's right, Former judicial
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: candidate Andrew John Jones pleaded guilty to child abuse in
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: tampering with evidence. Let me reiterate that after a teenaged girl.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: And he spent no time in jail. Doesn't that piss
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: you off? It really pisses me off.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Ed Gray, a former Golf Breeze Florida mayor and losing
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Republican primary candidate for twenty thirteen, pleaded no contest to
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: charges of secretly taping young boys, undressing, video voyeurism, and stocking,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: according to a Pensacolon news journal in twenty twenty, investigators
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: initially began investigating former mayor Ed Gray after an eighteen
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: year old told the police that he had found hidden
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: cameras in the master bedroom of Ed Gray's house, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: later on, after the police raided his residence and took
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: in all of his electronic devices. At least eight different
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: videos were found of four different underage males, either nude
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: or undressing in ed Grey's bathroom in his home. Then
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: you have William Henry Randall nineteen ninety eight, Republican candidate
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: for Congress in Florida, who was sentenced to twenty years
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: in prison for sect battery against a twelve year old
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: who we multiple times from two thousand and seven to
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. The warrant for this arrest reported that the
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: victims said the quote counters would happen after church services
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and also on weekdays when she would go to the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: church by herself to clean, and Randall told her not
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to tell anyone about counters because it would ruin both
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: of their lives. Well, it certainly ruined his life. And
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: how disturbing someone who's putting themselves out probably to the world,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: is a man of God, somebody who's probably in their
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: campaign talking about how they have faith, they have faith
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: in God, they love Jesus Christ, the teachings of Jesus,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and then they're a child after church. While the child
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: is at church, there are just no words. There are
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: no words for that. But we got to move on
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: to Georgia. The People's Voice reported that in twenty twenty,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Democratic former mayor of Dawson, Georgia, a man named Christopher
• 30:00

• 31:22
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Thank god.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's so disturbing. You see time
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: and time again throughout these cases, these politicians thinking they're
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: not only above the law, but they think that they
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: don't have to give a shit about you know, what
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: they've done. Like this guy is literally being accused and
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: indicted for children and he's still just going out there campaigning.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 31:44

  Speaker 1: that you can try to go a child and you.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Get two years in prison.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: In two thousand and eight, Anthony Emmanuel, the former mayor

  Speaker 2: Let's move on to Hawaii.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Even the beautiful Hawaiian islands and their sunsets and rainbows
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: aren't immune to in Hawaii Republican county councilman Kiola Childs
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: pled guilty to a fourteen year old boy in two thousand,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: according to an online Honolulu newspaper. And he also subjected
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: this boy to penetration, but he was sentenced to take
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: a guests. Real quick, think about this in your minds.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: How long do you think he got for being a child?
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: One year in jail?
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Idaho.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, CBS News reported that Idaho state Representative
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Republican Brandon Hickson resigned while under criminal investigation for making
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: two girls, including a young female relative, for a period
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: of over ten years. Now, Brandon apparently had been this
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: young female relative for over ten years, like I just said,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: And when this news came out, he killed himself three
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: months later, shortly before his ex wife and two others
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: were to testify before a grand jury about his charges.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: After Brandon, his ex wife, Danielle Hickson, revealed.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: All of his secrets. Here's a quote from.
• 34:12
  Speaker 12: Her shocking allegations from the ex wife of former Idaho
• 34:16
  Speaker 12: lawmaker Brandon Hickson.
• 34:18
  Speaker 13: From what you know?
• 34:20
  Speaker 12: How many children were abused by Brandon Hickson?
• 34:26
  Speaker 14: Three and there could be more.
• 34:31
  Speaker 12: Danielle was married to Hickson for ten years. She says
• 34:34
  Speaker 12: she didn't know about the abuse until after her divorce
• 34:37
  Speaker 12: in twenty sixteen.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: Unfortunately molested them right under my nose.
• 34:43
  Speaker 12: The thirty six year old lawmaker resigned from the legislature
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: in October after news emerged he was being investigated for
• 34:49
  Speaker 12: possible sex abuse. Hickson was found dead due to a
• 34:53
  Speaker 12: self inflicted gunshot wound in his home Tuesday morning, one
• 34:57
  Speaker 12: day before he knew Danielle was to testify in front
• 35:01
  Speaker 12: of a grand jury. The details of the alleged abuse
• 35:04
  Speaker 12: are so graphic we cannot air them on television.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Then you've got Republican Party leader Bobby Stumbo, who was
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: arrested for having with a five year old boy. According
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: to Daily Costs, a five year old boy a Republican
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Party leader. You're supposed to lead your party in a
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: positive direction. You're supposed to lead them into an area
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: of positive growth and change, And instead of focusing on that,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: you're focused on being a five year old boy. Fucking disgusting.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, former Republican candidate for Idaho governor Steve
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Panky was investigated for kidnapping and of a twelve year
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: old girl. Named Janelle Matthews in nineteen eighty four. Forty
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: eight hours actually covered Janelle's and at the time, the
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: former candidate for governor, Steve Panky, was suspected to be
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: her killer because of prior releegations. In twenty twenty, Martin
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Marty Peterson, the former Idaho state budget director, received a
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: suspended sentence and ten years probation for possessing child Now
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: get this, Marty wasn't okay with just having ten images
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: of CSAM or CP. He wasn't even content with having
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: a thousand. When investigators cracked Marty's devices, they took a
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: look at his files, they found over six thousand images
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: of child of children between the ages of ten to
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: twelve years old, according to a KTVB article, So he
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: went to jail. Thank god, Marty Peterson. But I mean,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: these people that are in government, it's just disgusting. What
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: are these people thinking. Then you've got Alex Baron, a
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: failed GOP candidate for Idaho House and the secretary of
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: the Cooton Eye County Republicans. Alex Baron was charged with
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: an abuse of a twelve year old household member in
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one at the time, KRM two News reported
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: that Alex Barron had come home drunk, fondled that twelve
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: year old child that lived in his house with him,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and cupped her buttocks multiple times. Then you've got Edward
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: had Burgess, a city councilman in Carlisle who was charged
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: assault of felony and gross imposition of an eight year
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: old girl in two thousand and six, and now onto Illinois.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: In a Reddit thread, it was reported that Democratic Illinois
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Congressman Mel Reynolds resigned from Congress after he was convicted
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: of statutory of a sixteen year old campaign volunteer. According
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: to People's Voice, Democratic Illinois Congressman Gus Savage was investigated
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: by Democrat controlled House Committee on Ethics for attempting to
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: an underage female Peace Corps volunteer on a trip in Zaire.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: The committee concluded that while the events did occur, he
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: did in fact this underaged girl, his apology was sufficient
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: and took no further action. Gus Savage, a Democratic congressman,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: was found I don't want to say guilty because he
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: was never really charged, but he was found. You know,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: he had an underaged girl, and they just said, okay,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: sorry is good enough you can continue being a congressman.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Then there's one of the sickests out there, the Republican
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Dennis Hastert, who was the Speaker of the US House
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: of Representatives and one of the highest ranking US politicians
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: to ever go to prison.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Just check this out.
• 38:13
  Speaker 15: More sex abuse allegations have surfaced against former Speaker of
• 38:16
  Speaker 15: the House Dennis Hastart ahead of his sentencing for financial
• 38:20
  Speaker 15: crimes later this month.
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: Here's Dreka Duncan.
• 38:24
  Speaker 16: Hastard's sexual abuses are described in this twenty six page
• 38:27
  Speaker 16: document from the US District Court. In it, disturbing details
• 38:32
  Speaker 16: of at least four of Hastard's male students when he
• 38:35
  Speaker 16: was a teacher and wrestling coach at Yorkville High School
• 38:39
  Speaker 16: decades ago. The victims say Hastard performed inappropriate massages and
• 38:44
  Speaker 16: sexex on them. In one instance, a student claims hast
• 38:47
  Speaker 16: told him to get on a table so he could
• 38:50
  Speaker 16: loosen him up. Joline Burge's older brother, Stephen Reinbaldt, was
• 38:54
  Speaker 16: mentioned in the document. Before he died in nineteen ninety five,
• 38:57
  Speaker 16: he told his sister he was molested by Hastard while
• 39:00
  Speaker 16: he was a student at Yorkville he's Denis Hastard.
• 39:04
  Speaker 12: He was a teacher, he was a coach, He was
• 39:07
  Speaker 12: beloved by the community, so no one was ever going
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: to believe that this man was capable of it.
• 39:12
  Speaker 16: According to the document, one unnamed student quote recalled that
• 39:16
  Speaker 16: defendant put a lazy boy type chair in direct view
• 39:20
  Speaker 16: of the shower stalls in the locker room, where he
• 39:22
  Speaker 16: sat while the boy showered. Comedian Andy Richter from Late
• 39:26
  Speaker 16: Night with Conan O'Brien tweeted, I went to Yorkville High
• 39:29
  Speaker 16: School eighty to eighty four, and I remember this chair
• 39:33
  Speaker 16: purportedly to keep boys from fighting. Hastard was Speaker of
• 39:37
  Speaker 16: the House between nineteen ninety nine and two thousand and seven.
• 39:40
  Speaker 16: In May of last year, he was indicted for lying
• 39:43
  Speaker 16: to the FBI about three point five million dollars he
• 39:47
  Speaker 16: agreed to pay a former student to keep quiet.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Sure of a special relationship with this.
• 39:51
  Speaker 16: At first, hast denied any wrongdoing and claimed he was
• 39:55
  Speaker 16: being extorted.
• 39:56
  Speaker 17: He later agreed to a.
• 39:57
  Speaker 16: Plea deal for evading bank rules and lying to the
• 40:00
  Speaker 16: FBI about the hush money. The federal and state statutes
• 40:04
  Speaker 16: of limitations on the allegations of sex abuse has run out.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: So Dennis was a grade A creep end of he
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: was found out later on that he had did his students.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: He had a thing for young boys. Once again, if
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: you're not from America and you're watching this, the speaker
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: of the US House of Representatives, that is an incredibly
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: high ranking and powerful position in the United States government,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: and he was a hard core that had molested multiple
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: young boys and had multiple victims. Dennis was eventually sentenced
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: to a measly fifteen months in prison, a little over
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: a year in prison with two years of supervised release,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: and a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: This goes to.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Show that when it comes to the elite and the
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: rich and the powerful, you can pay your way out
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: of prison. I mean, if an average Joe guy was
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: arrested in charged with the same crimes as Dennis Haster,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: they would definitely be going to prison for a longer time,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: not a little over a year for being multiple miners.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Then you've got Illinois State Representative Keith Farnham who has
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: resigned and was charged with possession of child and was
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: accused of bragging on an online website about how he
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: had a six year old girl. This just happened a
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: few years ago. Let's keep his name in the press.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Keith Farnum bragging online to others that he had a
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: six year old girl. Then you've got a member of
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: the US House of Representatives from Illinois, Daniel Crane, a
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Republican who was censured by the House for having with
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: a seventeen year old page in nineteen eighty three. After
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: that he was defeated, he'd never returned to politics, and
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: he went back to practicing as a dentist once again.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: No major repercussions for Daniel Crane, even when he had
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: with a seventeen year old According to QC Online. In
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: two thousand and one, Republican election board official Kevin Cohen
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: was sentenced to two years of probation for soliciting over
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the Internet from a fourteen year old girl. Then you've
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: got Reublican County board candidate Brent Shepp, who was charged
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: with a fourteen year old girl in twenty and twenty one.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: That's two Republican board officials in Illinois literally twenty years apart,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: both fourteen year old girls. One soliciting online from a
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: fourteen year old girl, and one physical being a fourteen
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: year old girl. But there was a twist with Brent Shepp,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: the one whom the girl. In twenty and twenty one,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: he did in a car crash afterwards that was investigated
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: as a Also in twenty and twenty one, which was
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: a bad year for Illinois, Republican Mayor Tom Adams was
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: arrested for distributing child over the internet. Tom was sentenced
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: to thirty days in the county work release program. He
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: was told to pay ten thousand dollars, undergo psychological treatment,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: and do two hundred hours of community service. So you
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: can distribute and download child be on the internet, I guess,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: and all you have to do is spend thirty days
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: in jail and pay ten grand. Seems like a good
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: deal for a it's been saying how small of a
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: sentence that is, for how big and disturbing of a
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: crime that is. Then you've got GOP Commissioner John Butler
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: and his wife. The two of them abused John's underage
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: niece in two thousand and seven. According to a case
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: law in People versus Butler, John Butler, for some reason
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: was pardoned by Governor Jack Ryan.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Don't know why that happened.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, a Patch News article reported that
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Illinois candidate for a state House seat, Tim McCullough dropped
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: out of the race after accusations of grooming arose from
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: a botched investigation the year before. While trying to extract
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: data from an underaged child's phone, the data was corrupted.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: The child's family then decided to not pursue charges. So
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: this guy had groomed this girl, this underaged child. They
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: had the evidence, and then the phone corrupted, the evidence
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: was lost, and he was never charged with anything officially.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Then you've got Sonomon, Illinoi's former mayor, Mike Stoklin, who
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: pled guilty to possession of child. And even more disturbingly,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: this was child he created himself. Yes, this former mayor
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: of the town filmed himself with one of his grade
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: school students in twenty twenty one, and in this video
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: he requested that the student pose in his manner and
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: engage in his act. Disturbing. Now we got to move
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: on to Indiana. Hope that there was a lot of
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: in Illinois. According to the People's Voice, in twenty seventeen,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Democratic official from Tara Hout, Indiana, David Roberts, was sentenced
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: to federal prison for producing and possessing child child that
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: he created by placing hidden cameras in the bedrooms and
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: bathrooms at a home he shared with two minor female
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: victims in two thousand and seven. Disturbing. Then you've got
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Republican Madison County Councilman Stephen Summer, who was arrested for
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: child seduction and possession of child pornography regarding a sixteen
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: year old girl in twenty twenty. And now we've got Iowa.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: A woman from Iowa, a woman named Sarah Watson, accused
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: a Davenport alderman of when she as a teenager. She
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: spoke to police in nineteen ninety nine and again in
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, but nothing was done about it. Nothing.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Sarah Watson tried to raise the alarm, and nobody has
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: listened to her even in the current year, all the way.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Up to today.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: So you've got a fist aldermen in Davenport, Iowa, and
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: nothing's being done. According to the Iowa Capital Dispatch, seventy
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: four year old Daniel Weickman, Junior of Hampton, Iowa, was
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: accused and pled guilty in Polk County District Court to
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: a misdemeanor charge of assault with intent to commit child
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: and misdemeanor in decent contact with a child. A charge
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: of indecent exposure was dismissed, and Weickman was an elected
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: county attorney and served for Franklin County from two thousand
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: and nine to two thousand and fourteen. In twenty eighteen,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Gary Lee Hanson, former city councilman of sax City, Iowa,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: was arrested and convicted of child including contact with two
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: young girls. Then you've got Jeremy Philbert, Republican, former mayor
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: of Midville, Iowa, who was charged with two counts of
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: ansodomy of a fourteen year old girl in Kansas in
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Speaking of Kansas, let's move to Kansas. In Kansas,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: you've got Wichita Rep. Michael Capps, who was accused of
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: emotionally abusing boys in twenty eighteen. No other additional information
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: was included in that press release, but Michael Capps refused
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: to resign and wasn't removed from future ballots. Weird right,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: and onto Kentucky. You've got in Kentucky Republican Tim Nolan,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: who was the chairman of Donald Trump's presidential campaign in
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Kentucky and a former Campbell County judge, Tim Nolan served
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: as a judge, as school board member, and a city solicitor.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: He was close to children. He used his political power
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: and influence to work his way into positions where he
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: would be near children, and he was eventually found guilty
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: of forcing nineteen victims to perform and seven of those
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: victims who were forced to perform those facts were miners
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: under the age of sixteen. Tim Nolan pled guilty on
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: February eleventh, twenty eighteen, and was sentenced to serve twenty
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: years in prison. In twenty twelve, Republican Kentucky state representative
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: and pastor Dan Johnson was accused of against a family
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: friend's daughter, Miranda Richmond, who was seventeen at the time.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Miranda's family went to the police in April of twenty thirteen,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: but the case was closed with no charges filed. Interesting
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Dan Johnson that Republican state representative and pastor committed in
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen after an expose revealed his serial lies, suspected
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: arson the crimes committed by his church. His racism is
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: accused of Miranda and so much more. The guy was
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: an absolute piece of In twenty nineteen, according to an
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: article by author Antonia Nori Farzan, governor Matt Bevin pardoned
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: a child because he claimed that since her hymen was intact,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: she wasn't. Scientists have since debunked the notion that inspecting
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: an alleged victims hymen can prove whether or not they
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: were assaulted, and they even found that most survivors of
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: child abuse don't have any lasting physical damage. Additionally, before
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: leaving office, the same governor issued four hundred and twenty
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: eight pardons to a group that included multiple convicted murderers
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: and six offenders. The Courier Journal reported, I don't know
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: why that governor loved so much that he wanted to
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: release them back onto the streets, but that's fucking disgusting.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Then you've got Paul Reeves, the former mayor of Ashland, Kentucky,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: who pleaded guilty to receiving and possessing two childs.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: In two thousand and two.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: According to the Edwardsville Intelligencer, he resigned just a few
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: days later. And now we get to Louisiana. In twenty fourteen,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: a former Sorrento mayor Wilson Longenecker was arrested on forty
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: counts of child depicting children between the ages of three
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: and fourteen, engaging in behavior or being posed in the
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: manor a former mayor again possessing child. Then in twenty twenty,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: gop Can agressional candidate Ben Gibson was arrested for four
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: counts of possession of child, once again for the depicted
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: children under the age of thirteen years old. Now it
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: should be noted the same guy, Ben Gibson who was
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: arrested for possessing child was a hardcore Qan nine conspiracy
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: theorist type guy where he was always talking about this.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: So seems like a bit of projection. And now we
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: get to Maine. Republican senate candidate John Hathaway was accused
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: of having with his twelve year old babysitter and withdrew
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: his candidacy for Senate after the allegations were reported in
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: the media. Couldn't find if he was ever convicted of anything,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: but I doubt that he was. According to the People's Voice,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Democratic Maine Assistant Attorney General James Cameron was sentenced to
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: just over fifteen years in federal prison for thirteen counts
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: of child possession, receipt and transmission in two thousand and nine.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Now I still think the sentences should be a bit longer,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: but I'm okay with fifteen years in prison. I can
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: at least be okay with that. I think child you
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: should be a life sentence, but that's just me. Then
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: you've got Lincoln County GOP commissioner and town clerk Merrill
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Robert Barter of Booth Bay Harbor, who was arrested for
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: molesting an underaged boy while at the State Republican Convention.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: This guy was literally at the State Republican Convention, the
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: place where they're going to talk about government and governing
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: and the rules and the laws, and he's a young boy.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: You've also got John Hyatt, the Republican Penbscott County Treasurer
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: and Banger School committee member who was arrested for one
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: count of possession of child of a child under twelve
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: and stalking, harassing, and felony invasion of privacy of a
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: woman in twenty twenty one. And now we get to Maryland.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, as reported in an article by
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: The Baltimore Sun, Carolyn County Maryland Circuit Judge Jonathan Newell,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: a Republican himself, when agents showed up at his house
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: to arrest him on child charges and possession of illicit
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: m of children. Here's the story from WJZ.
• 51:03
  Speaker 17: There's some new information tonight about a Caroline County Circuit
• 51:07
  Speaker 17: Court judge who killed himself as FBI agents attempted to
• 51:11
  Speaker 17: apprehend him on child pornography charges. Federal and state officials
• 51:15
  Speaker 17: announced today that Jonathan Newell acted alone and did not
• 51:20
  Speaker 17: distribute any images. In July, police responded to a cabin
• 51:24
  Speaker 17: on Hooper's Island where Newell had taken local children on retreats.
• 51:28
  Speaker 17: A child had found a video camera in the bathroom
• 51:31
  Speaker 17: and called his parents. Newell denied having the camera, and
• 51:35
  Speaker 17: while talking with investigators, he swallowed a memory card. Investigators
• 51:40
  Speaker 17: later found multiple digital devices and a hard drive that
• 51:43
  Speaker 17: showed videos of boys showering inside Newell's home.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: You've also got Republican congressman and notably anti gay activist
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Robert Bowman, who was charged with having books with a
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: sixteen year old boy he picked up at a gay
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: bar in nineteen eighty.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: You can't make this up.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: That is projection at its finest, an anti gay activist
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: charged with having with a minor a boy at a
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: gay bar, or that he picked up from a gay bar.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's fucking disturbing. Then you've got Matthew Palmer.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: The Baltimore Sun reported that Matthew Palmer, a former CEO
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: of the Maryland Department of Commerce and a former aid
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: to Republican Governor Hogan, pleaded guilty of sharing and having
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: pictures and videos of children while they were being abused.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: According to the reports, there were over one thousand images
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: and videos of child on Matthew Palmer's devices. And we're
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: moving on now to Massachusetts. In nineteen eighty three, Democratic
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Massachusetts Congressman Jerry Studs was censured by the House of
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Representatives after he admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: a seventeen year old male page and had advanced on
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: two other young men. He didn't go to prison, though
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: didn't go to jail for a day. Michigan author Lindsay
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Smith reported in twenty fourteen to Michigan NPR that gop
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Kent County Commissioner Gary Rolls got one year in prison
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: for a young woman from the age of nine to
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: twenty three. This is the Gop County commissioner a child
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: from when that girl was only nine years old all
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: the way up until the age of twenty three, completely
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: traumatizing this girl, completely destroying her life. The victim reported
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: that quote, he made me do things that made me
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: physically sick, and he didn't care If I cried. He
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: told me to stop because I was weak. If I
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: said no, he told me. I wasn't allowed to tell him, though,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: because he was the adult and I was the child.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: There were no words to truly reflect the pain, the fears,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: and the lifelong scars that I've endured because of him.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: End quote.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: He resigned, as reported by wood TV eight. Unfucking believable
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: that he got a year in prison for that. Politicians
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: though power, and they want to protect their own. Here's
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: the report about his resignation.
• 53:59
  Speaker 10: Looks like he's done him battle to Kent County Commissioner
• 54:01
  Speaker 10: and Gary Roles has resigned as he faces six felony
• 54:04
  Speaker 10: charges stemming from allegations he sexually abused a girl for
• 54:08
  Speaker 10: a year's starting when she was just nine. Twenty four
• 54:12
  Speaker 10: row when he hated standy Carlson is getting reaction from
• 54:14
  Speaker 10: county leaders.
• 54:16
  Speaker 18: You know what Brian, and of the many county leaders
• 54:19
  Speaker 18: that I spoke to today, no one really seems surprised
• 54:21
  Speaker 18: by Gary Roles's decision to step down, saying they didn't
• 54:25
  Speaker 18: think it was a matter of if he would, but
• 54:27
  Speaker 18: rather when.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Then you've got the former Republican Speaker of the Michigan House,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Lee Chatfield, who was accused of assaulting a fifteen year
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: old girl for fifteen years. This exploitation only stopped in
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty one. The Speaker of the Michigan House,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Lee Chatfield. The victim of Lee's was his sister in law,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: and she attended his church when he started it up.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: And apparently she had attended Lee's church when it started,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: and yeah, things just progressed and he became a for
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: fifteen years. Don't know what happened to him, but I'm
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: sure he's not getting life in prison like he should be.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: But we got to move on.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: According to a Times Herald article in nineteen ninety nine,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Gerald Ajax Ackerman, the port here On, Michigan mayor, was
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: convicted of contact with miners. Now Gerald Ajax's Ackerman had
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: to three girls who were eight, eleven, and twelve years old,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: and he was charged with twenty five counsual misconduct in
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: the following year. Thankfully he got some prison time, but
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: it's never long enough. Minnesota. In September twenty eighteen, Republican
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Minnesota state Representative Jim Noblock ended his reelection campaign when
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: his daughter came forward and alleged that her father had
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: been touching her inappropriately for more than ten years, beginning
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: when she was only nine years old. Laura, his daughter,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: reported that her father entered her room after she had
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: gone to bed, got in and laid down behind her.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: She told the station that no Block routinely kissed her
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: arms and neck and bit on her ears on dozens
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: of occasions. She said, he approached her from behind while
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: they were together in the kitchen and pressed his penis
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: against her backside, pinning her against the ref refrigerator or dishwasher.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: He would put his arm around me and not let
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: me get up or get away, and he would lick
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: my neck or bite my ear, she said about her
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: own father. Then you've got Republican businessman John Grunseth, who
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: withdrew his candidacy from Minnesota governor after allegation surface that
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: he went swimming in the nude with four underaged girls,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: including his own daughter in nineteen eighty. Then you've got
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: Minnesota gop Rep. Jim Rosselberg, who was charged with three
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: counts of criminals conduct for fondling a fourteen year old
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: in two thousand. The charges, though, were dropped in exchange
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: for Rossselberg admitting to the elements of the crime, including
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: fondling the fourteen year old girl. But this was handled
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: in juvenile court. How fucking mind blowing is that you're
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: assaulting a fourteen year old girl and the charges were
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: dropped just.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: For you to admit what you've done. And that makes
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: no sense to me.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: But we got to move on to Mississippi. In an
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: article by Margaret Baker, Senator Philip Moran of Mississippi was
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: arrested in two thousand and two for seven battery against
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: a female under twelve years old. Then you've got Alan Moran,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: the Republican acting mayor of Diamond Head, Mississippi, who was
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: arrested on misdemeanor charges of touching a seventeen year old
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: boys genitals and buying him beer while they were at
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: his father's Philip Moran's, Yes, the same Phillip from the
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: last story pest company control truck in twenty and twenty two.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: So you've got Senator Philip Moran who's arrested in two
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: thousand and two for battery against a twelve year old girl.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Then his son Alan Moran, who was arrested for touching
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: a seventeen year old boy's genitals. In his father the
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: pedophiles truck seems like a bit of a family tradition
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: in the Moran family. Then you've got Ronnie Hale, a
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Republican alderman in South Haven, Mississippi, who pled guilty to
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: transporting child twenty eighteen and sentenced to seven years in
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: christ Missouri.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: In two thousand and.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Seven, the Republican mayor of Collins, Missouri and pastor of
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: the Temple Lot Church in Collins, Alan D. Kaufman, was
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: caught in an Internet sting by an adult pretending to
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: be thirteen years old and was then arrested from his
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: conduct with the fourteen year old female. Then you've got
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Bishop Raymond Burke of Missouri who said that ex Senator
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: John Kerrey should not get communion and excommunicated all sorts
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: of people but not priests. In an article by Saint
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Louis and pr In two thousand and eight, Missouri Republican
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Party director Gene Evans said that in twenty twenty one
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: he needs special attention for diminishing child, claiming that people
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: do strange things when they're grieving. A threat on x
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: posted by Eric Garland, an economic and national security expert,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: reported that Attorney General Republican Eric Schmidt received several leads
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: that revealed trafficking an enslavement at the Agape School with
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: the aid of the Missouri Police and ignored them in
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Additionally, Missouri Governor Mike Parsons, who is
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: still in office as of twenty twenty four, the recording
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: list video, has done nothing to shut down the infamous
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: Agape Christian School, where children are tortured and abused. According
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: to a Saint Louis Post Dispatch article from two thousand
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: and two, the and torture of children at this school
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: has been an open secret in the state for at
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: least twenty years, and yet no one will do anything
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: about it. There's also Brad Nash, the former mayor of Salem, Missouri,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Dent County fire chief and emergency manager, who was charged
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: with two counts of first degree statutory sodomy and one
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: count of second degree child molestation against two female miners
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, Montana. In twenty nineteen, a former
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Montana sheriff's deputy, Virgil Wolfe, was arrested on suspicion of
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: abusing children, according to an article in the Associated Press,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: who was eventually charged with eighty counts of abusing miners.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: A twenty nineteen article by journalist Matt Hoffman reported that
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: State Rep. Fred Anderson, a Great Falls Republican, violated mandatory
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: reporting agreements as a high school principal and allowed a
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: predator to continue working as a coach at the school
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: after students came forward about his misconduct in twenty nineteen. Nebraska,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: The People's Voice in twenty nineteen said that Democratic former
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: mayor of Randolph, Nebraska, Dwayne L. Shutt, was arrested and
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: charged with four counts of felony third degree assault of
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: a child and one count of intentional child abuse. He
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: pled not guilty, and the whole thing disappeared.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 8: Then.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: Obviously, in Nebraska you have the Franklin cover up, which
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: is something that I am deeply involved with, deeper than
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: you can possibly imagine and it's an upcoming project that
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to make any official announcements now, but
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: it's the biggest thing I've ever worked on in my life.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: So research that story on your own, read the book
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: by Nick Bryant, and we got to move on to Nevada.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: In Nevada, you've got Richard Gardner, a Nevada State representative
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: Republican who admitted to his two daughters, and thirty four
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: percent of voters still voted for him. Even after he
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: admitted that he his biological blood children. Thirty four percent
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: of voters still voted for him. That's seven over the
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Keys Constant or crazification factor, which refers to the portion
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: of the electorate comprising of the nuttiest of wing nuts
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: and most diehard partisans absolutely crazy. Then in Nevada, you've
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: got Lieutenant Colonel Kevin J. DeFalco, who was arrested in
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two for the alleged abuse of a minor.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: He was charged seven times, including with lewdness in the
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: presence of a child and one charge of abuse or neglect,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: but the United States Air Force did not follow through
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: on the case, and New Hampshire Stacy Marie Lawton, a
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: former New Hampshire state lawmaker and the first transgender lawmaker,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: was charged with aiding and the betting the exploitation of
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: children with their partner Lindsay Grovers in twenty twenty three,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: who was exploiting children and distributing child of three to
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: five year olds who attended her daycare. WMRTV reported on
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: Stacy's court appearance in twenty twenty three.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: Take a look Jamie.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 13: Prosecutor say Lawton in text messages asked her then girlfriend
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 13: for those explicit photos of children under the age of five,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 13: and they say she received at least four of them. Well,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 13: today we saw Stacy Lawton there in court, appearing before
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 13: the judge, wearing an orange jumpsuit, hands in front of her,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 13: standing next to her lawyer, entering that not guilty plead
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 13: to the court on federal charges of sexual exploitation of
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 13: children and aiding and a betting. Prosecutors say Lawton asked
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 13: her then girlfriend, Lindsay Groves of Hudson, to take those
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 13: explicit photos of kids from the daycare in Tingsboro, Massachusetts,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 13: where Groves worked, and they say Lawton no only wanted pictures,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 13: but requested access to the children to sexually assault them.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 13: Both Latin and Grobes are being held without bail tonight Now.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 13: Lawton was elected three times to the New Hampshire State House.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 13: She resigned twice due to separate legal issues. She's also
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 13: faced previous law enforcement encounters for allegedly calling in a
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 13: bomb threat and an arrest for stocking Jen.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: Then You've got NBC Boston reporting that Elliott Ahlu Axelman,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: a former Republican for the New Hampshire State House, was
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: accused of assaulting a fourteen year old girl at a
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Libertarian festival in twenty twenty two. According to the Lancaster
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: Police incident report, the victim said she was hanging out
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: with friends at Port Fest on June twenty fifth, twenty
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: twenty two. The report details that when it got dark,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: this victim said she was separated from her friends and
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: tried to find her parents. The victim then said her
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: phone was dead so she wasn't able to call them,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: according to the report, and during her search she ran
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: into Axelman, who she described as a family friend. Now,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: according to the same police report, Axelman, the State House Republican,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: texted the victim's mother and said he found her The
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: victim then said in the police report that Axelman offered
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: her a drink of his hard cider in alcoholic beverage,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: and she took a sip. She then said that Axelman
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: led her into a vacant field, told her to sit
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: between his legs, and then he kissed her on the neck.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: According to the report, when she tried to get up,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: she said he wouldn't letter. The report says that Axelman
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: grabbed her waist and put hold her back into his lap,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: pushing her butt into his groin while he was erecked.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: A criminal complaint from August twenty twenty three states that
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: Axelman purposely engaged in contact with a miner by touching
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: her buttocks with his body, where such contact can be
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: reasonably construed as being for the purpose of sexual arousal
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: or gratification. His trial just began in June. Then we
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: got New Jersey. In two thousand and five, Republican Committee
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Chairman Jeffrey Patty was arrested for distributing a video clip
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: of a five year old girl being According to a
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: story in the New Jersey Herald, then you've got Republican
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Judge Marcia Silva, who protected it by saying a twelve
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: year old victim didn't suffer serious harm by being saying
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: that the offense is not an especially heinous or cruel offense,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: downplaying the severity of a grown man.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Ring a twelve year old.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Then, in twenty twenty one, News twelve New Jersey reported
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: that former Sheriff Edward Bullock, a Republican from Warren County,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, was alleged to have abused young boys in
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: his custody. The victim WM reported that Bullock pinned him
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: up at the police station in nineteen eighty eight and
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: took him to a dirt road where he the eleven
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: year old victim. Another victim, named Jack Jeffers, who was
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: a fifteen year old runaway, says that Bullock picked him
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: up and took him for pizza and beer, but afterwards
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: Bullock drugged the victim and raped him. Four of Bullock's
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: victims sued the county, alleging that people knew that this
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: was happening, that he was molesting children, and they protected
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: the sheriff. This is the sheriff of a county, the cop,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: the top cop multiple children. In nineteen ninety two, Bullock
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: pled guilty to official misconduct and confessed blacks with as
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: many as eight miners, but wasn't tried for rape until
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, twenty years later, which ended in a mistrial,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: of course, so he basically got off. Then in twenty
