1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the election results that are 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,199 Speaker 1: coming in from all across the country. 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 2: And there's no other way to say this. 4 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: It was a very big night for Republicans and for 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump's political Maga movement across multiple states. Republican 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: candidates that were backed by President Trump, not only one, 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: they actually won convincingly. And the results show that the 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: America First Message that Democrats said was already going to 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: be a disaster is anything but a disaster. America First Message, 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: by the way, is not just surviving politically, it's literally 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: after this midterm primary, thriving with voters who are looking 12 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: for strong leadership, that are looking for secure borders, that 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: are looking for an economy that works for working families. 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: Now we saw some I call them rhinos, establishment people. 15 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: They're in serious trouble. 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: You can look at the Lone Star state where voters 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: served up I think the prerequisite of what we're going 18 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: to witness in the midterm elections. All Right, you had 19 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats that decide who they want their canids 20 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: to be for the US Senate race there in Texas, 21 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: and this is a big one. You've got an establishment 22 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: I call him a bush Air, Republican Senator John Cornyn, 23 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: he's the incumbent from Texas. 24 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: An insane amount of money that was spent. 25 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking seventy plus million dollars fighting for 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: his life against the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and 27 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: both of them also faced off against Representative Wesley Hunt 28 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 1: for the GOP primary nomination in Texas. The top two 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,919 Speaker 1: vote getters, assuming none of them reach at least fifty percent, 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: which we've seen is now clear, right, then it turns 31 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: into a runoff. 32 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: Now that runoff, we know it's going to be. 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: It's going to be the incumbent Senator John Cornyn against 34 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: Ken Paxton. Wesley Hunt did not make it right because 35 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: he came in third. Now, pax has consistently pulled atop 36 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: the field from the very beginning, without spending hardly any 37 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: money compared to Cornyn. All right, Establishment Republicans in Washington. 38 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: Their narrative is that Paxson is a weaker general election 39 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: candidate and they worry that he may end up quote 40 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: opening Texas up to going blue for the first time 41 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: in generations, that a Democrat's gonna win. Paxson's seems like 42 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: that's that's a lie, that's the establishment, and not only 43 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: can he win, but he will win in November, and 44 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: if he gets the wins this runoff, like it's game 45 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: over because he's a Trump conservative candidate. Now, I think 46 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: that's pretty clear. That's where this is going to be heading. 47 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: And Cornyn had to spend so much money just to survive. 48 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very hard for Cornyan to 49 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: win in this in this runoff because people are like, dude, 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 1: did you win? 51 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: Like are you winning or are you buying it right? 52 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: When you're spending seventy plus million dollars to get you 53 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: there just to get into a runoff, there's a problem 54 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: that you have clearly with the voters when you are 55 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: the incumbent. The other thing AT's interesting is, huh, you 56 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: got a guy by the name of Dan Crenshaw. Dan 57 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: got obliterated on election night. He's another guy that was 58 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: not really with Trump. He's he's loud, he's obnoxious, he's 59 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: a you know, get the hell out of my way. 60 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: I'm better than you, I'm smart than you, I'm more 61 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: intelligent you. I served my country and you didn't kind 62 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: of guy. And that backfired in a big way. So 63 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: when you look across Texas. I think that tells you 64 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: a lot about what's happening all over the country. Republican 65 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: candidates that were backed by President Trump not only one, 66 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: they won convincingly, and the America First message is alive 67 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: in well. Race after race, candidates to align themselves with 68 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: Trump's agenda on energy, independence, law and order, and election 69 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: integrity were rewarded by the mid term primary voters. Now, 70 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: before I get into more on this, I got a 71 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: lot more data. I want to tell you about my 72 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: friends at Compassion International and the amazing working I want 73 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: to be honest with you for a second about how 74 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: an act of compassion really feels. A couple of years ago, 75 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization 76 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: called Compassion International. Why because I wanted to sponsor a 77 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: child in need. It was a nice idea, sure, but 78 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,559 Speaker 1: I had no idea just how much that simple act 79 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: would change my life as well. I sponsored Nadia and 80 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: got to watch your life change right in front of 81 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: my eyes, going from starving literally alone on the streets 82 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: to getting the healthcare and education she needs to reach 83 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: her God given full potential. I got to be a 84 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: part of that change. And the light of that compassion 85 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. 86 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: That is the power of compassion.

That's compassion dot com. 91 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: All right. 92 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: Now back to the election results real quick. 93 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: These results are being viewed by many analysts, all right 94 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: as a clear signal that the Republican base remains not 95 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: only energize, but the Donald Trump's influence inside the party 96 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: remains incredibly strong heading into the election cycle coming up. 97 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: This is exactly why the president is outpacing and out 98 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: fundraising the Democratic Party. It's the reason why his endorsement 99 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: means everything, and it's also the reason why this midterm 100 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: convention that he's planning is going to be significant. Now, 101 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: one of the most important trends for the night is turnout. 102 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: Republican voters who the media had said we're going to 103 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: stay home showed up, and not just showed up, but 104 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: showed up in large numbers, all right, particularly in suburban 105 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: and rural counties where Trump's message resonates strongly with those 106 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: hardworking Americans in many districts. By the way, Republican turnout 107 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: dramatically outpaced what Democrats were able to generate as well, 108 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: meaning there's an enthusiasm gap in these victories and the 109 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: night So that's big. Another key takeaway from these elections 110 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: is that the Republican candidate to embrace the Trump agenda 111 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: were able to consolidate support across the party all right, 112 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: instead of fractured primaries. Many of these racists saw voters 113 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: rally behind Canada to promise to continue the policies and 114 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: defending the Trump presidency, defending economic growth, lower taxes, strong 115 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: national defense, and putting America first on the global stage. 116 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: So for President Trump, tonight's results that he was witnessing 117 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: at the White House were another reminder that he's on 118 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: the ballot. He remains the most influential figure in the 119 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: Republican party period. His endorsement once again carried real weight 120 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: with voters, and many candidates openly credit Trump's backing as 121 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: a may factor in their victories, as they should politically speaking, 122 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: those that got sideways with the president. Cornyn is a 123 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: great example of that. In Texas, you know, Dan Crenshaw 124 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: is a perfect example of this. Their results, well, it's 125 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: in a clear message that if you're out there on 126 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: your own and you're fighting against Trump and claiming you're Republican, 127 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: it's not going to go well for you. Many of 128 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: the winning Republican candidates ran campaigns focus on issues, by 129 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: the way, that have dominated national debate, the same issues 130 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump voted on, or i should say ran 131 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: on and you voted on in the presidential election. It 132 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,239 Speaker 1: was inflation, it was crime, it was border security, cost 133 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: of living, and when conservative candidates talked about it, the 134 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: voter showed up and responded. Now the Republican strategists are 135 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: already pointing to these victories is proof that the political 136 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: map is not only shifting in their favor in the 137 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: states and districts, but the momentum that began during the 138 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: Trump presidency is actually continued to shape the party and 139 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: the electorate. And that is something that Republicans need to 140 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: pay attention to. A lot of times and primaries, you 141 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: have conservatives that will run to the right and then 142 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: they'll go back to the center for the general election. 143 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: That seems to be a bad strategy, all right, So 144 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: to recap this for you, I would say tonight's election 145 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: results show number one, a Republican party that's way more 146 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: energized than anybody wanted to admit. Okay, Number one, like 147 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: that is huge. They are energized. Number two, it's unified 148 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: the Republican Party around the America First Agenda aka Donald 149 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: Trump's agenda. 150 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 2: And three, and this is the most important one. 151 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: If you try to distance yourself from the political strength 152 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: to President Donald Trump, it's game over for you. 153 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 2: Now. 154 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: If these results are any indication of what's coming moving 155 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: forward and the political battles ahead, it's going to be 156 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: fought on terrain that increasingly is favoring Republicans. That is 157 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: also the best part about this. Now there's also Democrats. 158 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: They got their own issues here, all right on the 159 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: Democrat side, And I'll give you a very quick synopsis 160 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: of this, all right. It's really shaping up to be 161 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: a battle between former President Barack Obama's pick in Texas, 162 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: for example, a guy that is running for Senate, James 163 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: Taller Rico, and then the former Vice President Kamala Harris's pick, 164 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: the black congress woman, Representative Jasmond Crockett, who you probably 165 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: know from TV you look at how different these two 166 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: candidates are. Okay, these two candidates are extremely different. The 167 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: Democratic Party is trying to decide are they going to 168 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: be radical extremists or are they going to try to 169 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: find candidates that don't come across as being so extreme. 170 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: I think that bodes well for Republicans candidates. The Republicans 171 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: that did well, they were running on the same message 172 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: no matter where they were in the country. The Democrats 173 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: were running on their message of Donald Trump, orange man bad, 174 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: everyone hates Donald Trump, donald Trump's the worst president of 175 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: the world, Donald Trump's a warmongerer. 176 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 2: And it did not work well in the primary it. 177 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: In fact, the Republicans showed up in a massive way 178 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: Democrats did not. Usually the party that's not in power 179 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: has the biggest day on election day. It's usually a 180 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: real big concern about what's going to happen in the future. 181 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: None of that was there this time, and that is 182 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: a huge moment for people to understand one thing here. 183 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's still in charge of the agenda. Donald Trump 184 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: is still in charge of the party. Donald Trump's agenda 185 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: is how you get elected. And if you don't realize that, well, 186 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: then you're pretty much an idiot. We have a major 187 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: update for you on the rapidly escalating war with Iran, 188 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: and a lot has happened in just the last twenty 189 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: four hours. Over the past day, the United States and 190 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: Israel has continued their coordinated military campaign against Iranian military targets, 191 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: striking facilities connected to Iran's navy, to Iran's air force, 192 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: and to Iran's missile infrastructure. According to US military commanders, 193 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: thousands of targets have now been hit since the operation 194 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: began just days ago, and multiple Iranian ships and air 195 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: defense systems have also been destroyed. 196 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: Now. 197 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: These strikes come after the dramatic opening phase of the 198 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: war that began late last week with a massive joint 199 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: operation against Iran's leadership and military command structure. In those 200 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: initial attacks, several of the senior Ranian officials were killed, 201 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: as you already know, including iran Supreme leader, and what 202 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: analysts say was one of the most common one at 203 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: quincial decapitation strikes in modern warfare. But Iran has been 204 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: firing back over the last several days. Tehran has launched 205 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: hundreds of ballistic missiles and thousands of drones at the 206 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: US and allied targets across the Middle East. Some of 207 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: those attacks of targeted American bases and facilities in the region, 208 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: including strikes near US installations in the Gulf, and attacks 209 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: against Allied nations as well. Tragically, the Pentagon confirmed now 210 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: that six American service members have been killed so far 211 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: in the conflict. Following an Iranian drone attack in Kuwait. 212 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: President Trump addressed the situation today, defending the military campaign 213 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: and explaining why the United States acted. President Trump in 214 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: his own words, and. 215 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 4: You could never, and I've always said that, you could 216 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 4: never have had two pieces in the Middle East if 217 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 4: Iran was allowed to go even beyond the nuclear if 218 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 4: Iran was allowed to have more. 219 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: They look at all the missiles. 220 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 4: They built, not have been now taken out by US, 221 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 4: and a lot have been expended. But they had thousands 222 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 4: of missiles in a fairly short period of time. 223 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 3: And I'll go two things. 224 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 4: The attack that we did known as Midnight Hammer. 225 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 3: Had we not done that, Iran would have had a 226 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 3: very powerful nuclear weapon within one month. We did it. 227 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: It was great timing. But you know, and you've been 228 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 3: able to see that too. 229 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 4: The other thing was Barack Hussein Obama made maybe the 230 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 4: worst deal I've ever seen, because he gave all power 231 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 4: in the Middle East to Iran. He went the exact 232 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 4: opposite way, and I terminated that. If I didn't terminate 233 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 4: that deal, they would be sitting with a massive nuclear 234 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 4: weapon three years ago, which would have been used already 235 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 4: on Israel at least and other countries also, and we 236 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 4: wouldn't be talking about it right now. 237 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 3: But if I didn't terminate the. 238 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 4: Deal that Obama made giving them everything, including plane loads 239 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 4: of cash. 240 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 3: Do you remember the airplane flew over there. 241 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 4: It was a Boeing seven fifty seven. It was two 242 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 4: of them loaded. They took out all the seats. It 243 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 4: was loaded with green cash, so much cash that you 244 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: could It was in Virginia. 245 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 3: Maryland and Washington, d C. 246 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 4: They got all the cash from all the banks they 247 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 4: put it, and they flew it to Iran. 248 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: I never knew a president had that power. I'm going 249 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: to maybe try it sometime. 250 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 4: If it's okay, I think I'm going to do it. 251 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 4: A fly it somewhere. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. 252 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 4: Two planes loaded from Florida, ceiling big planes Boeing seven 253 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 4: fifty sevens taken over there and given cash in addition 254 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 4: that he was giving them billions of dollars, but worse, 255 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 4: it was giving them the right to have the path 256 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 4: to a nuclear weapon. And that deal expired. A lot 257 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 4: of people said, oh, you terminated. Well, it was going 258 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 4: to be terminated any it because it expired. It gave 259 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 4: them the right to have top of the line nuclear 260 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 4: weapon if they had. 261 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: Because they're crazy. 262 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 4: They're crazy, just like the people on my right during 263 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 4: the State of the Union. I looked at them, I said, 264 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 4: you're crazy. These people are crazy, and if they had. 265 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 3: A nuclear weapon. 266 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: President Trump went on to explain even more about why 267 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: the United States had to act. Trump said the strikes 268 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: were not only necessary because Iran was preparing for a 269 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: major attack and then America moved first to stop it. 270 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: He told reporters at the US and Israel operations have 271 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: dealt a devastating blow to Iran's military capability, saying that 272 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: Iran's Navy, Air Force, radar systems and air defense systems 273 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: have largely been taken out. Here's President Trump more on that. 274 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 4: They no longer have air protection, they no longer have 275 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 4: any detection facilities at all left, and so they're going 276 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 4: to be in for a lot of hurt. These are 277 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 4: bad people. These are people that killed. I guess it's 278 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 4: thirty five thousand. It's coming out thirty five thousand over 279 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 4: the last three weeks protesters thirty five thousand violently killed. 280 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 4: So these are bad people. And the leader of the 281 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 4: pack is gone. And as you know, forty nine people 282 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 4: were taken out in the first hit, and I guess 283 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 4: there was another hit today on the new leadership and 284 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 4: it looks like that was pretty substantial also, So they're 285 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 4: getting hit very hard, and we'll see what happens. 286 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 3: A lot of people are coming forward. 287 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 4: A lot of the people you would least suspect want 288 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 4: to quit. They want to have immunity. They're asking for immunity, 289 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 4: and probably at some point they'll be dropping, as you 290 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 4: would say, laying down their guns. 291 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 3: We'll see what happens. 292 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: The President putting it bluntly, telling reporters that just about 293 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: everything's been knocked out when referring to RAN's military infrastructure now. 294 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: Trump also said the United States has the ability to 295 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: continue to the campaign for weeks if necessary, and warned 296 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,959 Speaker 1: Iran that American forces will keep striking until the threat 297 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: is eliminated. The presidents also suggested that the end result 298 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: could be a political shift inside of Iran, saying that 299 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: ultimately the Iranian people may have to decide the future 300 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: leadership of their country once the regime's military power is broken. 301 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: Now on the left, they're using all of this trying 302 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: to attack Donald Trump and saying that what we're doing 303 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: in Iran is the wrong move. They're also saying that 304 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is being walked like a little dog by Israel. 305 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio asked that question on Capitol Hill. He had 306 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: a very blunt response to that. 307 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: Yesterday you told. 308 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 5: Us that Israel we're going to strike Iran, and that's 309 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 5: why we needed to get involved. 310 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 2: Today the President said that Iran wasn't a good Yeah, 311 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 2: your statement as fault. So that's not what I was 312 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: asked very specific. Were you there yesterday? 313 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 6: Yes, Okay, Chris, you the one that because somebody asked 314 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 6: me a question answered did we go in because of Israel? 315 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 6: And I said, you asked me from that follow up 316 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 6: and I said no, I told you this had to 317 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 6: happen anyway. The President made a decision, and the decision 318 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 6: he made was that Iran was not going to be 319 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 6: allowed to hide behind its ballistic missile program, that Iran 320 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 6: was not going to be allowed to hide behind its 321 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 6: ability to conduct these attacks. 322 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 3: That decision had been made. 323 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 6: The President systematically made a decision to systematically destroy this 324 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 6: terroristic capability that they had, and we carried that out. 325 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: I was very clear on that answer. 326 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 6: This was a question of timing of why this had 327 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 6: to happen as a joint operation, not the question of 328 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 6: the intent. Once the President made a decision that negotiations 329 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 6: were not going to work, that they were playing us 330 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 6: on the negotiations, and that this was a threat that 331 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 6: was untenable, the decision was made to strike them. That's 332 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 6: what I said yesterday, And you guys need to play 333 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 6: it him. 334 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 2: You're going to play these statements. 335 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 6: You need to play the whole statement, not slip it 336 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 6: to reach the narrative. 337 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 3: That you want to do. 338 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: All right, now, as the media narrative and the left 339 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 1: narrative is falling apart, there is a new strategy by 340 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: the left to really go after the United States of America. 341 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: In fact, I was on Piers Morgan Show. It is 342 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: now a clip that has gone viral as a radical 343 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: lefty who claims he's a riety. Dave Smith had this 344 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: to say about the attack on Iran. 345 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 2: And what he thinks of America. Listen carefully. 346 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 7: The IDF is the worst terrorist organization in the region. 347 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 7: Let's get real. The United States of America is arguably 348 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 7: the worst terrorist organization in the world. If you want 349 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 7: to look over the last twenty five years, how many 350 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 7: innocent civilians we've slaughtered. You're getting us You're getting us 351 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 7: into the Neocon Yeah, that's right, you're getting us into 352 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 7: the Neocon Seventh War, which they've been dying for the 353 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 7: last twenty five years. 354 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 2: I want to take down by the way. 355 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 7: No, Actually, if you love this country, if you're a 356 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 7: real patriot, you'd have. 357 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 2: To hate more than Iran. Yeah, yah, d C. D 358 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 2: C killed a lot more people. 359 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: So that's the new strategy from the left to claim 360 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: that America is the worst terrorist organization in the world, 361 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: killed a lot more people than anybody else, the Iranians. 362 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: That is how radical the left has now gone to 363 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: try to hurt Donald Trump and make sure they stand 364 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: up for the Ayatola or whoever the next guy is 365 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: in charge, that America is probably going to kill. So 366 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: here we are a few days in and already the 367 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: Democrats are defending Iran and saying that America is the 368 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: worst terrorist organization in the world. This year marks a 369 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: critical moment for our country as the opposition grows more 370 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: aggressive and unapologetic.

It is something 402 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: that we have now by Republicans and Democrats that are 403 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: joining together to try to get this done. And I 404 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: hope that Trey's Law, and this is a law that's 405 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: been done in many states, but now it is a 406 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: law that we are trying to make nationwide. And I 407 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: want you to hear about this law. I hope that 408 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: you will share this on social media. It's so important. 409 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: And I know we got a lot going on a rand, 410 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: and that's when we covered it. We've got a lot 411 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 1: with election Day, and that's when we covered it. But 412 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: this is also extremely important, so take a listen. 413 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 8: This week I introduced legislation in the Senate called Trey's Law, 414 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 8: and it is designed to protect kids, kids who tragically 415 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 8: are the victims of sexual assault. And Trey's Law prohibits 416 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 8: non disclosure agreements binding children who have been victims of 417 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 8: sexual assault. And this is a problem we are seeing nationwide, 418 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 8: a staggering statistic. A child in America is sexually abused 419 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 8: every nine minutes. Yeah, one in four girls in America 420 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 8: will be sexually abused before she turns eighteen. One in 421 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 8: six boys in America will be sexually abused before he 422 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 8: turns eighteen. And we have been seeing over and over 423 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 8: again when their violators are held accountable, when they're prosecuted, 424 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 8: and when there is civil litigation, that it is becoming 425 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 8: a routine for the violators to insist upon a non 426 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 8: disclosure agreement, a non disclosure agreement that binds the children 427 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 8: and forces them to be silent. And Trey's Law is 428 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 8: named for a Texan Trey Carlock, who horrifically was abused 429 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 8: at a summer camp in Missouri, abused over a number 430 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 8: of years, and his abuser was prosecuted as at abuser 431 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 8: is serving three consecutive life terms in prison, and in 432 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 8: the course of civil litigation, Trey was convinced to sign 433 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 8: a non disclosure agreement and that secret haunted him so 434 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 8: much so that at twenty eight years old, he took 435 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 8: his own life. And that is a tragedy in his 436 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 8: life and his family's life, but it's a tragedy nationally. 437 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 8: And we have a guest on the podcast tonight who's 438 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 8: another text in Elizabeth Phillips. Elizabeth is Trey's sister, and 439 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 8: she has taken the grief and agony of losing her 440 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 8: brother and of knowing what happened to him losing her brother. 441 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 8: It's one thing to lose a sibling in a car accident. 442 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 8: My sister died of a drug overdose. It is always 443 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 8: difficult to lose a family member that you love, but 444 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 8: it is particularly gut wrenching, yeah, to lose a family 445 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 8: member who you know was the victim of abuse and 446 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 8: was haunted by that. And I will tell you, Elizabeth, 447 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 8: she lives in Dallas, and she has devoted thousands of 448 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 8: hours to fight for Tray's Law. Tray's Law has been 449 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 8: adopted number of states, including Texas. Texas has adopted Trades 450 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:11,239 Speaker 8: Law and at the state level. But today, with a 451 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 8: group of seven bipartisan co sponsors, I've introduced at the 452 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 8: federal level, and we're going to get passed at the 453 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 8: federal level. But I want to start Elizabeth, Welcome to Verdic. 454 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 8: We're glad to have you. 455 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 5: Thank you so much for not just the introduction of 456 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,479 Speaker 5: Tray's Law to US Congress this morning, but for offering 457 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 5: this platform as well. And I agree, I hope it 458 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 5: goes viral. Every parent needs to understand how this system works, 459 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 5: because I think there are a lot of assumptions that 460 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 5: if your child is sexually abused, whether it be at 461 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 5: a summer camp which was trade Story, or a school, 462 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 5: or a faith based setting or sports setting, they're going 463 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 5: to come forward immediately. But there's something called delayed disclosure. 464 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 5: Children that are victimized in this way don't come forward 465 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 5: oftentimes for decades, if ever at all, and we need 466 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 5: to be sure that we are part acting children and 467 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 5: their voices so that when they do come forward, survivors 468 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 5: are heard, believed, and that we can respond with action 469 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 5: to hold the bad actors accountable. 470 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, so thank you for the conversation. 471 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 8: Well, thank you for being here. Let me ask you, 472 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 8: could you just tell your brother's story to just just 473 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 8: just share with our listeners and viewers. Tell folks who 474 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 8: your brother was and what happened to him. 475 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, and thank you for going into some of that 476 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 5: in your introduction, because it's honestly the hardest part for 477 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 5: me to talk about. I can go over stats and 478 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 5: data about child sexual abuse and ways to prevent it 479 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 5: all day long, but it's really hard for me to 480 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 5: talk about Trey. And I didn't know that you also 481 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 5: lost a sibling, So I'm sorry for your loss and 482 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 5: I'm sorry we can relate on that. 483 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's not not a club anyone wants to. 484 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 9: Be a member exactly. 485 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 5: But I think also we understand that you can grieve 486 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 5: it and move on, or you can grieve it and 487 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 5: turn that pain into purpose. And I think what we 488 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 5: saw at the press conference this morning was payn turned 489 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 5: into power. When there was a nineteen year old young 490 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 5: woman who came forward, it named her abuser for the 491 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 5: first time because her voice was protected under Trey's Law 492 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 5: since that was passed and put into effect in Missouri 493 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 5: last August, and so that's what we're wanting to expand nationally. 494 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 5: This journey for me began because my brother died by 495 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 5: suicide when he was twenty eight, not only due to 496 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 5: the child sexual abuse on what we now believe to 497 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 5: be trafficking at the hand of Cannicut camps based in 498 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 5: southwest Missouri. They had international mission trips, they were moving 499 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 5: kids across state lines. It was never fully investigated. The 500 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 5: criminal case landed in Taney County, Missouri and the Sheriff's department, 501 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 5: and at the time of my brother's perpetrator sentencing, there 502 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 5: were fifty seven known victims, but we now have had 503 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 5: many victims come forward since I started a website called 504 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 5: facts about Cannicut dot com with other survivor families to 505 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 5: get the facts out there to parents and warn the 506 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 5: public that this is much more widespread than what had 507 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 5: been reported upon massive cover up, which is not unusual 508 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 5: in a lot of these situations because of NDAs. So 509 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 5: that's what we're addressing with Trey's Law that's now been 510 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 5: introduced to Congress. Very bipartisan. You said, you know, no 511 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 5: one you've brought this to has said no to it. 512 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 5: I mean it's something everyone should get behind and hopefully 513 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 5: can get behind. You know, in Trey's story, he was 514 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 5: groomed and then abused by a camp director. So seven 515 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 5: to seventeen this was going on. 516 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 8: And so he was seven when he started going to 517 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 8: the camp. 518 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 5: When he started going to the camp, and that's when 519 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 5: the grooming began and then the sexual abuse began. And 520 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,239 Speaker 5: then his perpetrator, who like you said, is now in 521 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 5: prison for three life terms, confessed to his crimes and 522 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 5: was sentenced in twenty ten. But under the civil statute 523 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 5: limitations in Texas, Tray was forced to file his civil 524 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 5: lawsuit by the age of twenty three. And just imagine, 525 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 5: you know, go back to when you were twenty three, 526 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 5: were you ready to go up against US system and 527 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 5: quote unquote ministry like Cannacock that has between thirty five 528 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 5: and forty five million in annual revenue. I mean, at 529 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 5: twenty three, you're still a kid. We call them college kids, right, 530 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 5: You're just trying to get through college and start a job, 531 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 5: build a life. And if someone puts a settlement agreement 532 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 5: in front of you and says, sign on the dotted 533 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 5: line and this can all go away and you can 534 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 5: have restitution and some some money for your healing, for 535 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 5: therapy or before lost income. You're probably going. 536 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 2: To do it and for closure. 537 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,479 Speaker 9: And for healing and closure. Thank you. 538 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: And I say that because I have friends that worked 539 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: at Cannicock during the time period you're talking about. I 540 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: also know people that were abused at Kennacock and this story. 541 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: When I saw we were doing it, it's I've lost 542 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: friends who've committed suicide because it's sexual abuse. But Cannicok 543 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: is a place where I went to a mess A 544 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: lot of people I grew up with from Memphis, from Houston, 545 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: they went to Cannacok. And the cover up word that 546 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: you use there is I think one of the most 547 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: sad parts about all this is there was so many 548 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,479 Speaker 1: of these NDAs center. I didn't realize it, like how 549 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: much this was going to just bring up in me. 550 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: But when you know people that were abused there and 551 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: you set with them and you hear how the system 552 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: did not protect them, but I actually think made them 553 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: a victim a second time over by the way that 554 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: they use these NDAs. It is infuriating because you realize that, 555 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: like everything in this situation, worked against them for years. 556 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 5: And that's what came in the Texas hearings. I was 557 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 5: calling this institutional abuse on top of child sexual abuse. 558 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 9: So you're exactly right. 559 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 5: And yes, Memphis is a huge market for CANNICCOK and 560 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 5: Kids of Your America, which is another ministry and outside 561 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 5: of Branson that Joe White still runs to this day, 562 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 5: there's been no change in leadership. No one's been held 563 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 5: accountable because of these crimes. And so we were asking 564 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 5: about my story and how we got to this point, 565 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 5: and really it was because I learned more about my 566 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 5: brother's trauma and his death than I knew in his 567 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 5: life because of the NBA. So until treislaw went into 568 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 5: effect in Texas September of twenty twenty five, I never 569 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 5: saw what he signed. He wouldn't talk about it. He 570 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 5: was so terrified, even in therapeutic settings, even trying to 571 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 5: get sober in AA for example, he was worried CANNICCUK 572 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 5: would come after him if he mentioned all of the 573 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 5: people involved that knew about what Pete was doing and 574 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 5: didn't report the crimes to the authorities. Or disciplined him internally, 575 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 5: and that allowed this perpetrator to go on and abuse 576 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 5: what we now know is hundreds of more victims. 577 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 9: And that's one perpetrator alone. 578 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 5: So we've done Kannucok's job for them, and we've found 579 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 5: out that we now know of over ninety perpetrators with 580 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 5: allegations against them affiliated with cannoncuk and its associated ministries 581 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 5: and programs across the country and world. 582 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 9: Over ninety So. 583 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 2: The ninety how many have been held accountable? 584 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 3: Do? 585 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: I've got to know that number, because as I was 586 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: told about this several months ago, they said that not 587 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: only are there still people in the ninety as you're 588 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: describe that are affiliated, there are some that are still 589 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: in major leadership roles and around children. 590 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 5: Yes, so we're calling it out again, doing Canniccock's job 591 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 5: for them. I think as parents we have an expectation 592 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 5: that if a child molester or a sex offender is 593 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 5: caught at an institution where your child was attending or enrolled, 594 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 5: that you will be informed if they are ever charged 595 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 5: with anything criminal. That is not what cannacuck has done. 596 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 5: So we've done that job for them. So facts about 597 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 5: Cannicuck dot com. We have a known Abuser's page where 598 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,239 Speaker 5: we name thirteen and might even be more now that 599 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 5: have convictions that are yeah, they have criminal indictments, convictions 600 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 5: or formal allegations in the media cooberated by multiple victims. 601 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 5: And then the rest of the perpetrators in our database 602 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 5: are just still out there living their lives, and a 603 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 5: lot of them. 604 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 9: Have never been held accountable. We know who they are. 605 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 5: We've turned that database over to the authorities and we 606 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 5: are hoping that the FBI or some sort of law 607 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 5: enforcement agency takes action. But the normal thing to do 608 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 5: when you're not covering up for pedophiles as an institution, 609 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 5: using in das and continuing to promote pedophiles within your 610 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 5: organization or moving them around to associated ministries, which is 611 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 5: another thing Cannicuk has done. They have a year round 612 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 5: ministry called k Life similar to a Young Life, which 613 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 5: I think is better known. They will move someone that 614 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 5: has allegations at the camp to a chapter of k 615 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 5: Life where they go on to continue harming children. 616 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 9: So our known Abuser's. 617 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 5: Page is supposed to be a public facing database for 618 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,720 Speaker 5: when we know Cannoncuk affiliate has been convicted and dieted 619 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 5: or formally alleged of child sexual abuse, and the rest 620 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 5: of it will come to light over time as more 621 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 5: and more victims come forward. The list continues to grow, 622 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 5: and with exposure like this, we expect even more. 623 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: I want to say it again, if you got to 624 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: hear that interview, please share it wherever you can on 625 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: social media.
