Speaker 1: Hey, listeners, it's James Parker. Can you keep a secret?
Speaker 1: The next episode of Daughters of d C is up next,
Speaker 1: But first a quick word from our sponsor, Iron Horns
Speaker 1: Epic Productions. And I heard Radio present Daughters of DC.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with me? Why am I such a coward?
Speaker 1: When Locksmith implied that my own mother was entangled with
Speaker 1: Judge Red and some awful plan. Did I confront or
Speaker 1: about it? Did I ask her face to face what
Speaker 1: she gets out of their relationship? No, because running away
Speaker 1: from confrontation is kind of my thing. Sure, and here
Speaker 1: I'm brave. Here, I'm Storm Alloy, last survivor of the
Speaker 1: Malbot Wars, defender of the freedom of information. Here I'm
Speaker 1: a hero. I guess it's easy to be a hero
Speaker 1: when you're just an avatar wearing digital skin. But in
Speaker 1: the real world, in the real world, all I wanna
Speaker 1: do is blend in and disappear. I'm just a black
Speaker 1: female coding nerd lost in a sea of rich white
Speaker 1: Machiavelli's I never say what I mean, I never stand
Speaker 1: up for myself. I am a coward. So when I
Speaker 1: have the chance to see real bravery and action, I
Speaker 1: take note of it. I appreciate just how special it
Speaker 1: really is. All Right, I'm ready, me too, How are
Speaker 1: you guys feeling? I've never been more scared in my life,
Speaker 1: So let's do this. It's no secret that in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. Corruption is ever aware. You could say it's
Speaker 1: gone viral. That's why my friends and I decided to
Speaker 1: take on the system from the inside. I'm James, I'm Peyton,
Speaker 1: I'm Celia, I'm Natalie, and we're the daughters. Ac See,
Speaker 1: just like I said, no one's ever in the chapel.
Speaker 1: Come on, I'm thinking we'll frame you both right here
Speaker 1: by the stained glass gets some natural sidelight to make
Speaker 1: you pop. Whatever you think it's based. Sure, you guys
Speaker 1: are so brave. For the hundredth time. Thank you, James. Now,
Speaker 1: please stop saying it. It makes me feel weird. I
Speaker 1: wish I didn't have to be brave. Sorry. Sorry, do
Speaker 1: you have the live stream set up yet? It'll be
Speaker 1: ready in just a second, now, are you okay? I yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking. My family is pretty well connected, but
Speaker 1: we're nothing like the reads. Are you having a second thought?
Speaker 1: It's just that I'm worried I won't sound as credible
Speaker 1: to the general public as you, she means as white. Yeah, basically,
Speaker 1: white people tend to think that non white people are
Speaker 1: just making trouble, not worth listening to. I know, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: You don't have to do this with me. If you
Speaker 1: don't want to, I'd understand. I'm in it. If you are,
Speaker 1: I'm in it. Okay, then live stream is ready? All right,
Speaker 1: you two, it's showtime. Let's tell the world about this
Speaker 1: a whole. Okay, we're recording. My name is Peyton Blackburn
Speaker 1: and I'm Valentina Saldana, and we want to talk to
Speaker 1: you about our experiences with our experiences with sexual assault,
Speaker 1: hift love. What's going on with you? Get your head
Speaker 1: in the game, thirty love. Come on, let's at least volley.
Speaker 1: We've got to get ready for a doubles tournament at
Speaker 1: the club next month. Celia, Are you seeing this? What
Speaker 1: my killer served? It's Peyton Blackburn and Valentina Saldana. They're
Speaker 1: like doing a me too there? What look? Turn up
Speaker 1: the volume. When I said I just wanted a kiss,
Speaker 1: he didn't listen. In spite of my please, he just
Speaker 1: kept going. Tanner red assaulted me. Tanner assaulted me too.
Speaker 1: And afterwards he didn't even seem to understand that he
Speaker 1: did anything wrong, because Tanner lives in a world where
Speaker 1: everyone tells him over and over again that he isn't
Speaker 1: doing anything wrong, that he's a winner, and so he's
Speaker 1: entitled to special privileges. These are the same people who
Speaker 1: are quick to portray girls like Peyton and me as sluts.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm ashamed to admit I've been
Speaker 1: one of those people myself. Tanner broke up with me
Speaker 1: because I called him out on what he'd done, and
Speaker 1: without knowing the full story, without even asking me anything
Speaker 1: at all, our whole school took his side. We're not
Speaker 1: looking for attention. We just want people to know the truth,
Speaker 1: because as long as we're made to feel afraid of
Speaker 1: the truth, people like Tanner will be able to thrive.
Speaker 1: My name is Peyton Blackburn and I'm Valentina Selda, and
Speaker 1: we won't be afraid anymore. WHOA What kind of numbers?
Speaker 1: Is the video getting? Nothing noteworthy? I only thought it
Speaker 1: because Tanna's trying to flame war it out of existence. Really, well,
Speaker 1: we'll see about that. I know that. Look, you're going
Speaker 1: to blow it up, aren't you. Misha One does not
Speaker 1: simply blow it up. One must choose when to use
Speaker 1: one's powers of influence for benevolent reasons. You do, you, Sue,
Speaker 1: But I'd be careful. I know my parents wouldn't want
Speaker 1: me getting caught up in all of this. Neither would mine. Um, okay, Peyton, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that what you both did
Speaker 1: is amazing. Thank you. Yeah you know, um something similar
Speaker 1: happened to me freshman year. I'm so sorry. Yeah, anyway, Um,
Speaker 1: way to go. Wow, I guess we made a little impact. Payton.
Speaker 1: Don't look now, but Sander's coming. Hold my hand if
Speaker 1: you hold mine. Hey, what the hell? We're on our
Speaker 1: way to class. We've already said everything we needed to
Speaker 1: say to you, So when do I get to share
Speaker 1: my son? Remember last year, my report, your army of lawyers,
Speaker 1: remember everything you said about me to the whole school,
Speaker 1: so your girls could just say whatever you want and
Speaker 1: everyone believes you. Is that it's not fair? Did you
Speaker 1: even watch the video? I just got bench from the
Speaker 1: team for the rest of the season. They're opening an investigation.
Speaker 1: Recruiters were coming. How will Dartmouth see me? Now? It's
Speaker 1: almost like your actions have consequences. What a concept. This
Speaker 1: is a witch hunt. I am not going to let
Speaker 1: you get away with this. We've said what we had
Speaker 1: to say. Please leave now to inner, I said, please
Speaker 1: leave now, gentleman. Way, okay, thank so you guys. Have
Speaker 1: you seen this? Celia shared your video all over and
Speaker 1: so did all her followers. I've been avoiding the internet today.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, our video is everywhere vel people are
Speaker 1: actually watching us. Hey have you seen the news? We
Speaker 1: heard Seelie's been sharing the video? No, the news news. Look, well,
Speaker 1: it looks like the war on boys strikes again. I'd
Speaker 1: say Tanner Reid is innocent until proven guilty, except he
Speaker 1: hasn't even been charged with a cry, and with his
Speaker 1: father being vetted for the Supreme Court, it's only a
Speaker 1: matter of time before the President himself is forced to
Speaker 1: weigh in. What's happened to this country when a teenage
Speaker 1: girl armed only with a phone can hold the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court itself? Houstine, I lay the blame on cancel culture
Speaker 1: and liberal media vodience. More from me, Patricia Withers and
Speaker 1: the blame game after the break, Oh my lord, Hey,
Speaker 1: d O DC fans stay tuned More Daughters of d
Speaker 1: C is up next, But first a quick word from
Speaker 1: our sponsor, What's up? Daughters of DC fans head to
Speaker 1: Daughters of DC dot com to get exclusive d o
Speaker 1: DC news updates and content before everybody else. The story
Speaker 1: of two brave teenage girls is resonating with thousands across
Speaker 1: the country Today. Teens everywhere are posting their own experiences
Speaker 1: in solidarity with the hashtag I'm with Peyton and Valentina.
Speaker 1: So Peyton and Valentina's video, combined with Celia sharing it
Speaker 1: far and wide across the Internet kind of caused a
Speaker 1: whole thing. For the first time, the Daughters of d
Speaker 1: C made the news in a good way, although not
Speaker 1: everyone saw it like that. There is no greater supporter
Speaker 1: of women than me, and women should be believed when
Speaker 1: there is tangible proof. So I ask, where is the proof?
Speaker 1: All we have is the hearsay of two teenage girls. Clearly,
Speaker 1: Miss Blackburn and Miss Aldonna are confused, they're hurt, and
Speaker 1: they have an ax to grind against. My boy Tanner
Speaker 1: is a good boy and a star athlete, and his
Speaker 1: future should not be held hostage by unsubstantiated claims that
Speaker 1: only service suspiciously close to his father's confirmation. Hearing to
Speaker 1: say I'm outraged is an understatement. That was the scene
Speaker 1: earlier today as Crawford read was seen entering the White
Speaker 1: House first as emails. Now this the question on everyone's
Speaker 1: mind now is will the President pull his nomination? Did
Speaker 1: you hear that, Celia, the President might pull Judge Reid's nomination?
Speaker 1: And all because you shared those girls video. My influence
Speaker 1: may have tipped the scales, but it's a powerful story.
Speaker 1: I was going to get out somehow. You don't understand.
Speaker 1: Now you're a target. What William change of plans? Cancel
Speaker 1: a reservation at Pineapple and Pearls until Mr Leu, we're
Speaker 1: going home? Why is this a punishment because you love
Speaker 1: their white asparagus oconnumiaki as much as I do. Quit.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking let me know if Peyton contacts you again,
Speaker 1: if any of those girls do record their conversations, but
Speaker 1: better still invite them over and let our security cameras
Speaker 1: do the job. Yes, that would work. Mom, What is
Speaker 1: up with you? Stop questioning me? You have no idea
Speaker 1: what your father and I do for you? No idea?
Speaker 1: Hurry up? William? Hey, hey, I saw paint and Valentina's video.
Speaker 1: I guess that's why you were scoping out Hannah. Be mad.
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you no, No, thanks Sonics. I know
Speaker 1: your real name is Adrian, but can I still call
Speaker 1: you on X in here? You got it? Storm? That's
Speaker 1: so weird. I can actually picture your face now. Who
Speaker 1: did you see me as before? No? One like a
Speaker 1: blank blankness always knew you were gorgeous. Well, all right,
Speaker 1: so what's the mission today? Storm? What news making adventures
Speaker 1: do you have planned out for us? Now? Our biggest,
Speaker 1: most challenging yet, ONYX, We're going to find out who's
Speaker 1: watching the Watchman? Oh? Yes, Regina and King is my queen.
Speaker 1: Let's do this? Why did you pick this place? Not
Speaker 1: exactly on the beaten path though? I am loving this
Speaker 1: chocolate chip skull? You want another bite? I'm good, Cole.
Speaker 1: I needed space to breathe after releasing the video. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Sorry you went through it. Sorry, I
Speaker 1: I probably said some dumb stuff. I'm probably saying some
Speaker 1: dumb stuff right now. No, I'm okay. I was just
Speaker 1: getting overwhelmed and my parents aren't exactly happy with what
Speaker 1: I did. Do they not believe you? They want to
Speaker 1: control the narrative at this time. I won't let him.
Speaker 1: I actually want to ask you, m how you're doing,
Speaker 1: how I'm doing. I've got coffee, a skull own and
Speaker 1: be Peyton Blackburn with me. What else could I need? Look,
Speaker 1: I know we've gotten close, and this kind of thing
Speaker 1: sometimes it changes the person's opinion of another person. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of Tanner, I want to grab that live streaming a
Speaker 1: hole's phone and shove it up. Nothing about this changes
Speaker 1: anything for me. I mean, I hope it's going well.
Speaker 1: Please tell me it's going well. Yeah, I think so
Speaker 1: good because I've already started game planning Winter Formal and
Speaker 1: we're going to wipe the floor with everyone. Winter fourmal
Speaker 1: is a month away. It's gonna be epic And as
Speaker 1: far as you know, getting intimate or what have you,
Speaker 1: we'll always decide what we want, what we're ready for together.
Speaker 1: Thanks cool, I'm thinking tango. No, you want to do
Speaker 1: the Savage Challenge? Perfect? What are we doing in the library? Mom?
Speaker 1: You want me to brush up on my Machiavelli more
Speaker 1: like Sun sus Art of War. I wasn't joking here,
Speaker 1: it is this is the book what initiate argos protocol.
Speaker 1: We have a doomsday bunker. It is well fortified, reinforced
Speaker 1: titanium security. Feed for coffee, Mall, I need you here
Speaker 1: in the safe room while your father and I handle
Speaker 1: a few things. William stay with her, Yes, Mrs Lew.
Speaker 1: What's my driver going to do for me in a
Speaker 1: safe room? Williams? Your bodyguard? My what? Oh? Yes, Celia
Speaker 1: One's drivers are all ex Navy seals. That's actually the
Speaker 1: preferred career trajectory. What did you think? I don't leave.
Speaker 1: I'll be back when I can. William, you have a
Speaker 1: lot of explaining to do, and sadly a lot of
Speaker 1: time to do it, it seems. Oh, next, have the
Speaker 1: trojan's five boats on my mark Mark again. They've tried
Speaker 1: trojans cloaking everything from the last ten depth con activists panels.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Everyone on the forums jokes about
Speaker 1: how terrible the government cybersecurity is. What else? Can we
Speaker 1: even try break into the National Archives and do a
Speaker 1: chip off attack? The stormline though never gives up. No,
Speaker 1: I know, it's just who am I trying to break
Speaker 1: into my mom's government files? Why don't we call it
Speaker 1: quits for the night. Whateverything these files. Someone put a
Speaker 1: lot of effort into making sure they stay in it
Speaker 1: as bad as a storming Onyx, So I we're never
Speaker 1: going to get them in one day. Thanks. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: wish I was there with you right now. You know,
Speaker 1: actually next year, same Onyx reps this extremely beefy arms
Speaker 1: around storm Storm, rests her head on his chest and
Speaker 1: maybe he strokes her hair. Oh yeah, definitely, thanks Adrian.
Speaker 1: This is Mackenzielee calling is a new texting leave me
Speaker 1: a message. Hello, Mackenzie, This is your very good friend
Speaker 1: Celia Lou calling you from a gilded dungeon. Will you
Speaker 1: please sits no, William, I will not anyway, babes. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to let you know I'm going to miss
Speaker 1: our rendezvous tonight because I'm being held prisoner against my well.
Speaker 1: Text me. We can leave here in a few hours
Speaker 1: once your parents know it's safe. Mom and Dad aren't
Speaker 1: above it all, are they, William. They're just as deeply invested,
Speaker 1: deeper even than the other girl's parents. You don't have
Speaker 1: this much protection unless you're afraid someone's going to come
Speaker 1: after you. But who perceptive as always, Miss Lou. I
Speaker 1: can't believe I yelled at James like that, pardon have
Speaker 1: you ever been forgiven without having to apologize? First? I
Speaker 1: don't understand your question. Have you ever been so ashamed
Speaker 1: that you can't say you're sorry? Because that would make
Speaker 1: it too real? That would mean you've become the person
Speaker 1: you never thought you'd be? That I understand. Sometimes, miss
Speaker 1: lu your reactions to a mistake are more important than
Speaker 1: the mistake itself. Does that help? It does? William? Thank you?
Speaker 1: Now you're a driver and a bodyguard. Any chance you're
Speaker 1: a chef? Too hardly? But there is some boxed macaroni
Speaker 1: and cheese in here. Shall we give it a goal? Okay?
Speaker 1: Now I'm truly terrified. Are you at the law? I
Speaker 1: don't see you? That's right, I can't see you, and
Speaker 1: now you can't see me. This is childishly unproductive, Judge.
Speaker 1: You know who isn't productive? You locksmith, whoever the damn
Speaker 1: hell you are. You were supposed to keep this Tanna
Speaker 1: business quiet. What a thorne in my ass? It's being handled. No,
Speaker 1: I'm calling the shots now, and if you don't give
Speaker 1: me my lifetime appointment, I swear I'll seek the stag
Speaker 1: told us on you, Oh judge, Oh do you think
Speaker 1: I've been working for this entire time? Wait? What? Finish
Speaker 1: your drink? Your on her, get some sleep, You'll get
Speaker 1: exactly what your own. Iron Horn's Epic Productions and I
