00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: The running thing has been great to me get.

Speaker 1: you on Facebook. Yeah, I hate running, but I'm doing

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: it anyway.

11
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I feel good when I'm done. But I

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: definitely I talk myself into go inner every single time.

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: I take the elevator to the fifth floor from the

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: fourth floor, every time I need to go up there

15
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: for any reason. I'm going to read some breaking news

16
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: here from indistar dot com. Haley Colombo and Ryan Murphy

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: on the UH wrote up this story. Here's the headline.

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: Grand jury investigates ghost employment misconduct allegations in Micah Beckwith's office,

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: which he is previously told this sh on others that

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: he knows nothing about a grand jury. We'll get to

21
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: that here in just a second. I'm just going to.

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: Read this.

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: Word for word and you can make your own decision.

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: A grand Jury and Marion County is investigating allegations of

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: ghost and employment and other wrongdoing in Mike quebec With's

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: office Lieutenant Governor. A report filed by the Marion County

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: Grand Jury on October third said it met on August

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: eighteenth and September thirtieth for an investigation into the distribution

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: of intimate images the ghost unemployment in the office of

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: the Lieutenant Governor. Remember what those intimate AI inappropriate images

31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: were of a representative's wife or something like that circulating

32
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: throughout his office. MIKEE. Beck With again doing his own investigation,

33
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: denying that. So it's unclear what the investigation into ghost

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: unemployment pertains to. The confirmation of the grand jury testimony

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: follows accusations of the deep Fake AI porn video that

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: was alleged shared in his office, targeting the wife of

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: Representative Lawmaker Craig Haggard confirmed in August that he was

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: interviewed by the Marion County Prosecutor's office about this situation.

39
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: An ex staffer from beck Beckworth's office has said publicly

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: that she was personally shown a deep fake AI video

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: portraying a topless depiction of Haggard's wife by staffers in

42
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: the Lieutenant Governor's office. Twenty four Sight News reported that

43
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: a staffer and a contract lawyer in Beckwith's office viewed

44
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: the video on April tenth. Beckwith said previously his office

45
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: found no evidence that a video ever produced, was ever

46
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: produced or viewed by anyone internally. It's unclear if Beckwith

47
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: or anyone else from his office testified or was subpened

48
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: by the grand jury. Beckwith spokesman saying in a statement

49
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: to Indie Star today, quote active grand juries are confidential. Therefore,

50
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: the office has no knowledge of any of this. Haggard,

51
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: by the way, previously condemned the situation and he wants

52
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: heads to roll. A spokesperson from the Marion County Prosecutor's

53
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: office confirming today that no charges have been filed at

54
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: this time related to the investigation, but said the office

55
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: couldn't comment further due to confidentiality laws. So that is

56
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: the breaking news. We've had Micah on this show several

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: times asking him directly about grand jury investigations, him denying

58
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: it or not knowing about it. The representative there saying

59
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: that grand jury investigations are confidential, so we had no

60
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: knowledge of that. Whether or not you and I believe

61
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: that is a different story. Yeah.

62
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: So I had Micah come on as a guest, maybe

63
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: not last Friday, the friday before on Tony Kinnacast, and

64
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: I asked him very straightforward, you know about the video

65
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: about the other staffer that commented on it, and he said,

66
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: very plainly, I don't you know. If it happened and

67
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: I knew about it, I would have shut it down immediately.

68
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: We haven't seen anything. I don't know anybody seen anything.

69
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: And it seems to go against what you just read. Yeah,

70
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: he's told not to say that he knows, but there's

71
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: somebody is saying two people on an office seat and

72
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: went as far as to tell you who they were.

73
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know until now that we knew that

74
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: there was a grand jury investigation officially that heard it on.

75
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean, there were rumors, there were people that were

76
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: saying that they had talked to prosecutors. But this is

77
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: the first time I think we're hearing that. Allegations of

78
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: ghost employment and the other misconduct allegations in Micah Beckit's office.

79
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: I could go, I don't I've he's been on the

80
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: show several times. I'm I'm going to try to find

81
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: some clips to where he's denied it here, But I

82
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: again with the with the spokesman saying, look, grand jury

83
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: investigations are confidential. We don't know you know, so we

84
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't have known about it anyway. Whether or not that

85
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: holds water with you or anybody else remains to be seen.

86
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: This is an ongoing thing. We'll have more
