And in fact, in our number one we 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: did we had a conversation with Steve Hilton, the leading 11 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: candidate for governor in California, the Republican, and we talked 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: about how Gavin Newsom has spent over four hundred million 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: dollars in the last four years on a care court 14 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: to put mental patients, force them into treatment centers, a 15 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: judge orders them in, and they've only had twenty two people. 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: Twenty two people get ordered for mandated mental health treatment. 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: Four million not making this up now. This is one 18 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: of the most disturbing things I have seen in a 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: long time, and I'm going to take some time to 20 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: explain it. I don't know how long it's going to take, 21 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: might take all hour, I don't know, But you want 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: to listen to this whole thing. And this is about 23 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: David Allen Funston, and probably a week ago you'd never 24 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: heard of the guy. But back in the mid nineteen 25 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: nineties he went on a child rapespury. He kidnapped eight 26 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: children ages three to seven, seven girls, one boy, raped 27 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: most of them. A couple got away. It was brutal. 28 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: I mean one little five year old girl, he not 29 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: only kidnapped and raped, he beat her up and left 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: her tossed on the side of the road. And he 31 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: got a sentence combined that it's sixty eight years to life. 32 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: He was convicted in his early thirties. He's now sixty three, 33 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: and he is eligible for elderly parole. He may be thinking, well, 34 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: what the f is that? Well, in California, I think 35 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: firefighters or police officers can retire around fifty. Well, prisoners 36 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: can be retired from state prison when they're fifty, even if. 37 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: They've raped. 38 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: A half a dozen kids. I'm not making this up 39 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: because I got the case here, David Allen Funston. If 40 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: you're over fifty years old and you've served at least 41 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: twenty years of your sentence, you can be paroled. 42 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: Okay. 43 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: So they had a parole hearing and Newsom who wrote 44 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: the law allowing this. Newsom, that shape shifting psychopath, wrote 45 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: the law, and I have it in front of me here. 46 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm signing Assembly Bill thirty two to thirty four, which 47 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: would create a diversion program and lower the minimum age 48 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: for elderly parole fifty years of age who've served the 49 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: minimum of twenty years. There it is Gavin Newsom, that's 50 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: his signature. September thirty of twenty twenty, he writes the 51 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: law that allows David Alan Funston to leave, and then 52 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: when he's he appoints twenty one members of the Board 53 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: of Parole. Twenty one members. They're all news I checked. 54 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: I looked up all twenty one. They all appointed and 55 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: reappointed by Gavin Newsom. And then when they let David 56 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: En Funston out, he says, well can you Newsom says, 57 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: can you reconsider? And so they reconsider and they let 58 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: him out anyway, and then Usium says, well, I had 59 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. 60 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: I didn't have the power. You wrote the law, psycho. 61 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: You wrote the law, you appointed all the board members, 62 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: and he pretends he has nothing to do with it. 63 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: Now since he's been quote released, he's been rearrested because 64 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: it turns out he had another case sexually assaulted a 65 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: child in Roseville in nineteen ninety six. They never bothered 66 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: to try the case because he'd already been sent to 67 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: prison and they thought he was put away for life. Well, 68 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: now he's out, so they rearrested him. He's back in jail. 69 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: But I have something to read to you, and it 70 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: almost reads his comedy. But first I want to give 71 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: you the three names. But we know for sure. You see, 72 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: they keep all this secret. Now we're paying these board 73 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: members on the pro Board, they got a couple hundred 74 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year and their job is to let 75 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: felons out, including sexually violent felons. 76 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 2: And they do so we should see. 77 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: Their names, how they voted. Well, we've got three of 78 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: the names. We have some secret sources. And one of 79 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: the commissioners is Patricia Cassidy, and we're going to talk 80 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: a lot about her because she held the hearing. There 81 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: was an original hearing and she was in charge of it. 82 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: And she is an attorney and she has worked with 83 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: the Board of Parole since nineteen ninety five and she 84 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: was most recently reappointed by Newsom in May of twenty 85 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: twenty three. Two other votes we know for sure is 86 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: one commissioner, Robert Barton, and a commission named Catherine Percell, 87 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: and they were both nominated to the board in twenty 88 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: twenty three as well. Robert Barton used to be a 89 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: deputy DA in Kerrent County and Percell was a private 90 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: attorney among other things. So Robert Barton, Catherine Purcell, Patricia Cassidy, 91 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: they all voted to release David Allen Funston. Now, when 92 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: we come back, I'm going to read you because I 93 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: went through one hundred and thirty pages of transcript this morning, 94 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: and I'm going to read you what David Allen Funston 95 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: was telling Patricia Cassidy and others who attended this, and 96 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: what Cassidy knew about him from all the official reports. 97 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: And I'm going to say, I'm going to read some 98 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: things that are probably very disturbing, and Mike bother you 99 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: a lot, but this is the story of David Allen 100 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: Funston and Patricia Cassidy and the rest of these commissioners 101 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: knew it and set them free. Anyway, you should know 102 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: what's going on here, because this is sick.

This was the Parole Suitable hearing for David 116 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: Allen Funston, who kidnapped as many as eight children, seven 117 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: girls and a boy aged seven and under raped most 118 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: of them. A couple of got away. And this is 119 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: the hearing. And the presiding Commissioner is a woman named 120 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: Patricia Cassidy. And like I said, she and twenty other 121 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: members of the Parole board all were appointed by Gavin Newsom, 122 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: who wrote the law allowing a guy like David Allen 123 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: Funston to retire as a prisoner after the age of fifty. 124 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: He's sixty three. He had gotten like sixty eight years 125 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: to life, but they. 126 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 2: Let him out. 127 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: So listen to the testimony, and they first start going 128 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: through his background. Then this is Patricia Cassidy. She says, 129 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: as far as child in adolescent development, it says that 130 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: your father was verbally, financially and emotionally abusive to you. 131 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: Your parents were married until you were about three or four. 132 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: You were sexually abused by your paternal half sister. Your 133 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: mother diagnosed with bipolar disorder. You had multiple types of 134 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: abuse throughout your upbringing. You said you were growped by 135 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: a doctor when you were twelve years old. He was 136 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: troublesome in school. He was bullied over surgical procedures on 137 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: your genitals when you were four. Now this if you go, 138 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: if you read this transcript, apparently his sexual deviancy towards 139 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: children may have started with genital surgery. And remember we 140 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: found out that some of the great perverts in history 141 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: in America have had deformed generals, Harvey Weinstein for example, 142 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, Jeffrey Epstein. Well you can add David Allen 143 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: Funston to the list. Apparently they removed one of his 144 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: testicles when he was a kid because it hadn't descended, 145 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: and eventually in a shower some of the boys noticed, 146 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: said Funston. Two boys in particularly started teasing me about 147 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: my genitals. And the teasing and bullying went on for weeks, 148 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: and it escalated to the point in Jim class where 149 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: one of the boys knocked me down along with another boy. 150 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: They picked me up and they took me over to 151 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: the volleyball poles and they were whipping. They were winging 152 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: me back and forth, so my crots was striking the 153 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: poll the pole. 154 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 2: You got that. 155 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: They picked up David Allen Funston winged him back and 156 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: forth so his crotch would strike the pole, and while 157 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: they were chanting, well, while they were doing this, they 158 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: were chanting, he has no balls. He has no balls. 159 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: This was at the age of thirteen. He said, this 160 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: is very traumatic for me. I felt rejected. I felt defective, 161 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: I was upset. I felt shame. I couldn't go to school. Okay, 162 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: So this is the origin of when he decided he 163 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: had to start raping little children. 164 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: I guess his father wouldn't talk about it. 165 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: He started sexually abusing his sister, and he ran away 166 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: from home for a couple of days when Funston's family 167 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: found that he was abusing the sister, and Patricia Cassidy asked, 168 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: when you were molesting her, were you penetrating her? 169 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 2: No? 170 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: No, just fondling her the genitals, kissing and pleasuring himself 171 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: in front of her. It indicates you were, Cassidy says, 172 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: it indicates you were exposed to sexualized behavior. When you 173 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: were four, your older sister used to show her friends 174 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: the scar on your generals. You also showed it to 175 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: other girls similar age. Why did you show them? Why 176 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: would you do that? Were you so embarrassed at school 177 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,479 Speaker 1: when the boys were bullying you? Why would you voluntarily 178 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: show it to other girls? Why do you think you 179 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: found yourself molesting your stepsister? These are all questions from 180 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: Patricia Cassidy, the commissioner. 181 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 2: So Funston, when he's. 182 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: Asked why did you find yourself molesting your sister, he 183 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: blames his father. He said, I was influenced by the 184 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: pedophiliate books that my father had. This pornography. Yeah, there 185 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: were pedophiliac books that had fantasy stories about grown men 186 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: having sexual intercourse with young girls, and I had these. 187 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: One of them dealt with incest. His dad had these 188 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: books lying around the house. He says, So, I had 189 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: these ideas in my head and I associated sex and 190 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: intimacy with that contact, and I regrettably I acted on 191 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: those sexual urges, the pedophelix stories that my father had 192 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: when I was around my half sister having physical contacted 193 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: that was triggering to me. And then Cassidy goes on 194 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: he also had encounters with prostitutes, He would seek younger 195 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: looking girls. Go through just all his sexual history. He 196 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: forced himself, committed an assault in Colorado on a girl, 197 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: a woman that was intoxicated, but he ends up marrying 198 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: a woman and he had a daughter, and having the 199 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: daughter led to the reemergence of sexual fantasies related to children. 200 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: This is all the commissioner's talking about with him before 201 00:13:53,800 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: they decide to let him go. And Cassidy says, it 202 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: looks like you experience these fantasies, you'd pleasure yourself and 203 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: I'm trying to clean this up. You did this in 204 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: your vehicle when you were experiencing fantasies for six or 205 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: more months, and then you decided to kidnap and sexually assault. 206 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: And he had told the doctor he was looking for 207 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: greater risk to violate a greater taboo. And then you 208 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: went to prison, and according to the record cast, Patricia 209 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: Cassidy said, you continue to pleasure yourself most days to 210 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: sexual fantasies pertaining to children. So she's going through the 211 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: history of this perversion which went on for decades and 212 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: decades again as the lead up to letting them out. Now, 213 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll skip ahead to twenty twenty, 214 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, because he was heavily involved with self 215 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: pleasuring in the prison thinking about children. 216 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 2: This is just five years ago. 217 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: And then I'm going to read to you about the 218 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: program he's on to control his urges, because this self 219 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: urge control program is what convinced the pro board to 220 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: let David Allen Funston free. So this is just a 221 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: background leading up to this crucial point that's next. 222 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 223 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 3: six forty. 224 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: We're on every day three to six after six the 225 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: podcast John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. 226 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: We're continuing looking through one hundred and thirty pages of 227 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: the hearing where they let the California Border Parole let 228 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: out at least for a brief time David Allen Dunstan 229 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: even though he had raped, he'd kidnapped eight kids, raped 230 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: most of them, beat them up, and they were all 231 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: aged seven and under. And Kevin Newsom wrote the law 232 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: allowing this to happen, and this border parole hearing all 233 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: these people appointed by Newsom, and I got the three 234 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: people for sure we know of, Patricia Cassidy, Catherine Purcell, 235 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: and Robert Barton. They voted to release him. And we 236 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: went through his whole life, all the sexual deviancy going 237 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: back to when he was a teenager. And now this 238 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: is the most important part coming up here. They David 239 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: Allen Funston testifies to the commissioners that in twenty twenty 240 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: one he sought help because he was still having these 241 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: rape fantasies involving children. I had tried to quit on 242 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: my own in twenty eighteen, I had a lapse in 243 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I continued into twenty twenty one. And Patricia Cassidy, 244 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: the commissioner, said, so the fantasies of the children in 245 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, where they have the 246 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: fantasies of children you had molested or that you'd seen 247 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: in books, or your daughter or children on TV. And 248 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: he said, well, the primary one was a fantasy involving 249 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: a young girl that lived across the street from where 250 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: I lived with my daughter. She was one of my 251 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: daughter's playmates. She was an eight year old girl, so 252 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: I had this was the regular fantasy had involving her. 253 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: And Patricia Cassidy said, had he ever molested her? And 254 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: she said no. This is now twenty twenty one. He's 255 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:46,239 Speaker 1: been in prison now for over twenty years. And it 256 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: goes on in detail. Cassidy commisster. Cassidy says, you've been 257 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: diagnosed with Pedophelick disorder. How would you describe yourself? I mean, 258 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: we're talking about a relatively long history of sexual offenses, 259 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: an intense history of self pleasure. Would you consider yourself 260 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: a sex addict? 261 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: But up until he. 262 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: Says, up until twenty twenty one, yeah, I was obsessed 263 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: with sex. I thought about it frequently. And the reason 264 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: that he beat up the children and attacked them physically. 265 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: When the children didn't respond in the way I wanted to, 266 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: I became angry. I didn't care who I hurt. I 267 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: was trying to satisfy my deviant sexual urges. He's telling 268 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: them all this well. He talks about one girl, told 269 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: her to be quiet, tried to cover her mouth with 270 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: her own panties to try to shut her up, trying 271 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: to muffle her and David Allen Fundstate admits that I 272 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: know pedophilia is a lifelong condition. He says, there's always 273 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: a possibility that I'll relapse, so it's important for me 274 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: to continue to build on my recovery. He says, I 275 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: pay attention to myself talk. I'm on guard for my 276 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: warning signs. This is all we've got that he's paying 277 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: attention to all the crazy sex thoughts he has about 278 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: children in his head. 279 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 2: But he says that he could relapse. Yeah, that's right. 280 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: He admitted to them that I could relapse. That's that's 281 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: the craziest part of this. In fact, let me skip 282 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: ahead to page ninety nine. Here, Patricia Cassidy, the commissioner, says, 283 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: are you still attracted to female children? Funstan says yes, 284 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: I am, and she pushes, do you want to say 285 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: yes or no? Funston says yes. Cassidy says yes. Yes, 286 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: ma'am says Funstan. 287 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 2: Why does she have to ask him so many times? 288 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: He said yes, I don't know if he was. She 289 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: was shocked that he admitted to it. She wanted to 290 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: make it clear, this is what you're admitting to. But 291 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: again she voted to release him anyway. Now listen to 292 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: this part. I have had urges, but I use my 293 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: urge control plan. I tell myself stop. I'm not making 294 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: this up. This is an exact quote. I try to 295 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: remember about the harm I caused and my commitments not 296 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: to engage in masturbation, and I distract myself with another activity. 297 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: He goes, runs on and he turns on the radio, 298 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: turns on the water, walks the dog. Ill wait a second, 299 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: he's still in prison, going through all this, So what 300 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 1: is he's sitting in a prison cell. 301 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 2: How does he distract himself? Oh, it is going to 302 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 2: the sink. I guessed right. 303 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: It could be going to the sink, splashing water in 304 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: my face, or texting a friend. I listened to the 305 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: calm app. 306 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 2: I've heard of that app. You visualize yourself as a wave. 307 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: And you visualize surfing the wave crashing onto the rocks. 308 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: So he gets an urge and he turns on the 309 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: calm app and imagine he's a wave and he tries 310 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: to shew away all these sexual thoughts about little girls. 311 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: Another commissioner said, describe your urge control plan. Well, I 312 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: literally rehearse it every day. The first step is to 313 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: tell yourself stop. The second step, I remember the consequences, 314 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: the worst consequences of offending. I try I primarily focus 315 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: on victim impact, the great harm it would cause to 316 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: the young person, how it would destroy their life. The 317 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: third step is I affirm my commitment not to reoffend. 318 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: I remind myself of my new values. Again, it sounds ludicrous, comical. 319 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: This convince them. One of the commercials said. One of 320 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: the commissioners said, I believe you said you review your 321 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: urge control plan on a daily basis. 322 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 2: Is that right? 323 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: Funston replies, So what I do is when I'm watching TV, 324 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: whenever an image of a child comes on, I'll use 325 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: that as a reminder to practice and rehearse the plan. 326 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: I want it to be automatic, so when I see 327 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: a child in the community, I'm already automatically going through 328 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: that urge control plan. Then there's an online technology plan, 329 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: he says, that outlines what healthy activities on the internet 330 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: and what are not healthy activities. Oh, he's gonna have 331 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: access to the Internet. 332 00:22:47,640 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 2: No trouble there. You don't think he can change John, Hey, 333 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 2: what do I know? 334 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: The Board of Parole Hearings thinks he can know something 335 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: you do. He says, I've done research on his birth defect. 336 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: That's the testicle that never dropped and caused all the 337 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: kids to to tease him. It's very common for boys 338 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: who were born prematurely that one of their testes does 339 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 1: not descend, and the surgery did into court wil I 340 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: was four and a half, so my left testy withered 341 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: and did not develop.

It's all his admissions, this 383 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: is all the diagnoses, and the panel, led by Patricia Cassidy, 384 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: listens to this, and now here at the end, here's 385 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: they decide to let him go anyway, to release him, 386 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 1: and Cassidy says, and I don't get this, lady. The 387 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: Comprehensive Risk Assessment, authored by doctor Kranda in twenty twenty 388 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: five took into consideration your elder parole factors and concluded 389 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: you presently represent a medium moderate risk of violence if released. 390 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 2: So wait a second, if that makes no sense. You're 391 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 2: saying that he medium moderate risk. Yes, so there's a 392 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 2: risk and it's not low, No, it's not low, it's 393 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 2: not low moderate, it's medium moderate, so you shouldn't be 394 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 2: released that we. 395 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: Didn't agree with all the conclusions, so they had a 396 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: doctor assess his risk. 397 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 2: He says, that's a pretty good risk there, and they go, wow, 398 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 2: we don't agree. What the hell. 399 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: There were a couple of areas the doctor identified as 400 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: high risk treatment and supervision, and we felt your supervision 401 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 1: and response to treatment has been excellent. 402 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 2: So the doctor. 403 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: The doctor's telling him that the treatment hasn't worked all 404 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: that well, and they said, I'll be okay, and we 405 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: believe your self awareness, your self control, attitude, and your 406 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: mental state, insight into your past and present character defects, 407 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 1: and then starts excusing his issues because of his childhood 408 00:27:52,680 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: trauma and dysfunctional relationship and his pedophiliac disorder. See, because 409 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: he has this pedophilia disorder, they feel bad for him. 410 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: So that's not an aggravating circumstance, that's a mitigating circumstance 411 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: that he can't control himself. You have or here's the 412 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: final quote, and again this is this lunatic Patricia Cassidy, 413 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: the commissioner, you have developed a really good urge control plan. 414 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 1: You have steps that you take. You practice it every day, 415 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: so it'll be second nature to you. If a high 416 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: risk situation develops, you tell yourself to stop. That's his 417 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: urge control plan to tell himself to stop. You include 418 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: consequential thinking and that goes to the harm you create 419 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: for your victim, and then you use distraction as far 420 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: as your release plans. That's the splashing water in his face. 421 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: This was his plan. 422 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: His plan was I tell myself stop, then I think 423 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: about the victim, and then I splash water in my 424 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: face as a distraction. And this nutcase Commissioner Patricia Cassidy, 425 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: he said, oh, this is all a great idea, and 426 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: she gets a majority of the board to go along 427 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: with it. So that's the treatment. The treatment is to 428 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: say stop to yourself and splash water on your face. 429 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 2: And would they be okay with him living next door 430 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: to their children? And here are two other yes votes 431 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: that we know for sure. There were others, but these. 432 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: Are the best we have now, not only Patricia Cassidy, 433 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: but this commissioner, Robert Barton and Catherine Purcell. Gavin Newsom 434 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: appointed all these lunatics, in some cases more than once. 435 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: Patricia Cassidy, Robert Barton Katherine Purcell. They think a good 436 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: program for a guy who kidnap eight children, rape most 437 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: of them, beat them up, is next time he gets 438 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: that urge, say stop and splash water in your face. 439 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: That's his plan, and they agreed to it. I'm not 440 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: making this up.
