Hello, I'm your happy people.
And Neil Smith, an old butt buddy. Are you here, Neil?
Neil, I miss you, man.
Don't miss!
I have a question.
Shhh.
Beaver's been fooled me.
Damn busy.
We're breaking a major story, Chris.
Congratulations.
This is our single score podcast.
You know, I distinctly remember going into a debate with one of these left-wingers.
I think if memory serves, this left-winger was an employee of government education.
And this is not unique to this one particular conversation, folks.
This is the line from a lot of people in Texas who are left-wing extremists who want to excuse everything they've been doing to our kids,
all the failures academically, all of the depravity, all the waste of taxpayers' dollars.
They will say that, hey, Republicans have been in charge of the state of Texas for the last 20, 25 years, right?
And look at the state of government education.
And it's like, well, they're mostly wrong.
But there is a kernel of truth to what they're saying.
And as a conservative, it's something that I've been increasingly troubled by.
Because, frankly, folks, as you know, government education, government in general attracts leftists and Marxists, power-hungry people.
And they seek to use the power of government to implement their agenda.
But they also use the American people's trust in government as a mechanism for their employment and their enrichment
because a lot of Americans aren't paying attention to government, assuming that government is checking itself,
that government is, you know, through our system of checks and balances is actually looking out for the taxpayers,
looking out for, in this case, inside of Goved, looking out for our children and their safety and security.
And that's not what's happening.
In the state of Texas, you've got laws that have been passed by, back in the day, Democrats, when they control the state.
And most recently, by Republicans, now, some incremental changes have been made, improvements have been made by conservatives slash Republicans.
Mitch Little did one of these in the last legislative session.
I think it was legal for a teacher, as long as they could show that it was an teaching role in a teaching environment
to undergo some sort of sexual depravity with children.
They couldn't be prosecuted.
And it was like, what?
I may be misremembering the details of this, but it was something along those lines that as long as you're doing it for educational purposes,
it was permissible and legal.
And that was on the books, guess who put it in the books?
Democrats.
So Mitch Little undid that particular mechanism that's, it said, no, if you're going to sexualize kids, that's going to be illegal,
no matter if you're a teacher or you're whatever excuse you make up for sexualizing kids.
So where these individuals like the teacher I was talking to and where the leftist inside of Goved do have a point is where these Republicans,
they've been in charge over two decades and they, they go into session every other, every other year.
And they keep on funding the same corrupt system that is leading to, frankly, poor educational outcomes.
Keep on funding the same mechanisms that continue to allow leftists who populate Goved to hire more leftists and to continue the disintegration of not only academic performance,
but again, the aforementioned safety and security of our kids.
And that's why you see nearly on a daily, weekly basis, you see these headlines coming out of Goved of yet another sexual predator getting access to our kids through government education.
It's because leftists run it.
It's because these Democrats who check every box, except for the I'm qualified for my job box, they, they continue to populate Goved.
And guess who continues to force us to pay for it? Republicans, Republicans tax us up the Ying Yang, allow us to be raked over the Coles tax wise to fund these independent school districts.
And then the Republicans just tune out.
They, they're like, yeah, well, you just go ahead and, and we're going to force you to fund all that crap.
And they just leave these, these Republican lawmakers and they turn over our parents and they turn over our taxpayers.
And most importantly, they turn over our children to these sexual deviants and predators.
Let me give an example.
James Tallerico, how many of you know who James Tallerico is?
James Tallerico is a white fake Christian.
He's a Democrat socialist, a leftist, a Marxist.
And James Tallerico would have been an obscure nobody had it not been for Republicans.
Republicans took this nobody in the Democrat socialist party and they allowed him to achieve leadership status by awarding a committee chairmanship and vice chairmanship to Democrats inside the Texas House.
So those 36 fake Republicans who voted with 49 real Marxists and socialists to appoint dusty the Democrat burrows.
They all are responsible for James Tallerico, who is now as a, as everybody should know, is the Democrats nominee to be the next senator from Texas against praise God, Ken Paxton.
So and, and I want to play for you folks, James Tallerico and what Dustin burrows and Jeff Leach and Jared Patterson and Cole Heffner and Lacey Hull and Monoday Aala and Todd Hunter and all these other fake Republicans, Charlie Garen.
I want to play for you the, the caliber of, of Democrats that these fake Republicans support. You know, it's, it's guys like James Tallerico.
That, that inspire Charlie Garen to pucker up and to find the nearest Democrat butt cheek on which to plant his lips. And here is one of those Democrats, folks, I want you to listen.
Something that you love that's not family or friends.
I love, I'm just saying this because it's on my mind, the trans children who showed up yesterday at the state Capitol.
Okay.
So, folks, if I'm asked, hey, aside from family and friends, who do you love?
I'm saying, you know, I love fishing. I love hiking like the outdoors. Maybe some of you guys out there would say, I love football.
I love sports. I love coaching my, my kids baseball team. No, not these fake Republicans favorite Democrats like James Tallerico, the
white fake Christian. No, he says something he loves trans kids, right?
Folks, more on the depravity inside of Goved courtesy of Republicans who should not allow these Democrats and these leftists to exploit their positions and in turn, exploit your children back in a minute on the
podcast.
My friends did by nomics in the left wing economy really rock your world. Let American medical plans relieve one burden health insurance.
American medical plan specializes in under 65 health insurance plans that have zero copays and no deductibles. You choose your doctors, you choose your hospitals.
These plans have nothing to do with your income and are 30 to 60% less than Obamacare. If Obamacare has you paying out the nose, call American medical plans.
Don't let these Marxists destroy one sixth of the US economy and your access to health care without a fight. You deserve better. You deserve American medical plans. The answer to the cancer that is Obamacare.
Every day excessive delays and denials from big insurers keep patients from accessing the care they need. And when care is urgent, these delays can be disastrous. These practices cost billions in wasteful spending, driving up costs for American families. But while big insurers put up barriers,
America's hospitals and health systems are in your corner, navigating endless reviews and appeals to get you the care you need when you need it most. It's time to curb these harmful practices and put the focus back on patients.

Folks, I want to welcome to the program, Aaron Anderson. She has been well, she's a consummate reporter, a professional that has been primarily based in Dallas for a worth reporting on stories all over the
cross the state of Texas. But it's I'm glad she's doing this, but it's sad she has to do it. She's kind of been focused folks on this epidemic of impropriety inside of Goved schools. And Aaron Anderson, welcome back.
Thanks for having me, Chris. Always appreciate it. Yeah. And you know what? As I said, it's sad that we've even got it to be touching base on this kind of stuff. But, you know, in this, in this era, where Goved is behaved so irresponsibly.
It's it's got to be done. So let's first off, give folks the update on the most recent coverage that you've been doing. And what have you discovered and what stories will folks be amazed to find out about?
Well, I'm glad you asked because really the reason that I got started covering this particular issue of predators in our school system goes back to 2022 in the prosper independent school district, which is near where I live in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
They had a school bus driver who had been repeatedly molesting to little sisters on the school bus for most of a school year before it was discovered.
And it got hushed up by the district. It wasn't until the family sued months later that it became public knowledge and the parents, the other parents in the district whose kids were on the bus driven by now they found out a child molester.
We're shocked and horrified. Anyway, it was a huge scandal. It spawned lawsuits all sorts of things. Well, the superintendent in charge of prosperity and who led the cover up the parents said she she told the parents to to keep it quiet.
So it's not to stir up, you know, media attention. Well, that didn't work. Well, she just announced her retirement.
So Prosper ISD Superintendent Holly Ferguson is retiring after six years as a superintendent and as the super who oversaw the mishandling of this sex abuse scandal and the cover up.
So that's a story that we just put out today has all the details on the background on that. That was the first, but sadly not the last I had no idea back in 2022 that this story was going to become what you call a beat.
But there were there were so many instances of these these child abusers inside our schools that it would become a regular a weekly and sometimes a daily sometimes multiple times a day stories that I would be reporting on across Texas.
And it's it's sad and I think it's it bears to point out of this at this juncture that this this woman that got you started.
What was her last name Ferguson. Yeah, Holly Ferguson. She wanted the parents to not talk about this so she could cover up the molestation of their children and not be held accountable.
I'm forced to ask the question about her quote unquote retirement. Is she getting a taxpayer funded retirement?
Oh, she absolutely is Chris and and that's the scandal. She's never faced any any you know charges and in fact no accountability whatsoever.
She continued to be employed and paid a very handsome salary three hundred fifty thousand dollars a year as a base.
She's got a huge retirement that she will be collecting at tax payers expense and you know she never has been.
There's a lot of people that still think she's you know she's done a great job for the district but in fact this cover up was a huge scandal.
I mean it's not just that the abuse went on a notice for months and months but you know as they say it's it's not just the crime it's the cover up.
She absolutely covered this up did not did not inform the public or for parents what had happened.
And she's getting to retire you know with handsome benefits at you know tax payers expense.
I have no doubt that she that she did the best she could for the district that that but it was the parents and the children she failed.
Yeah, she did great. She's she did a great job for the district but a terrible job for parents and kids and that's what it's all about.
So you wrote a recent article again it's turned into a beat.
Tell us what some of the latest things you're uncovering about the malfeasance and predation of individuals inside of gov it.
So another recent case I've been following for a few months thanks to the parents that alert me across the state about what's happening in their districts.
I could never cover you know the giant state like Texas and the more than a thousand school districts without the help of of parents bringing these things to my attention.
But one again close closer to home and Collinsville ISD which is in Grayson County a baseball coach who with a winning record was was put on the over allegations that he was communicating with female students via social media.
via Snapchat I must say the the the number one preferred predators tool to you know quote inappropriate communications with these female students via social media well.
First and foremost you know all educators should know this is this is against the rules it's against it's against school policies to communicate with students on social media.
It's against the Texas educators code of ethics and it may or may not turn out to be criminal the police the local police have been investigating this since October as well as the Texas education agency.
And now he's been on paid leave since October not working still getting a taxpayer fund a paycheck while while these matters are investigated well the school district investigated they found that he did in fact communicate with students on snapchat against the rules and they voted in January to fire him that in Texas firing is a process.
So if you have a contract a standard you know state issued teaching contract you can't just be fired even for cause you can be you have to be notified and then there's a chance to for you to sort of appeal this this firing and that's what this coach has done.
He filed to have a independent hearing on this to determine whether or not he could in fact be fired all again while being paid and not working.
So so that's the latest developments there we we've got the we've got the documents we know it we know what the district has has concluded that he has definitely done we're waiting now for this process to play out whether he can argue and get to try to keep his job.
Right and well why I guess everybody's owed due process and and and that kind of thing but is there is there any grown up in in the district that is that is saying hey man maybe you shouldn't be around kids until at least we sort this out is there anybody they're looking out for the children.
Well you know he's on leave so he's not he's not allowed to be around the students and again many parents are saying that exact thing Chris but it turns out.
The school superintendent the high school principal and the high school athletic director are now also under investigation by the T. E. A.
for allegedly ignoring earlier complaints about this coach and then kind of for retaliating against parents and staff members who tried to you bring it to their attention so there's there are people again arguing both sides believe it or not as we found as I find out in district after district there will be you know parents calling for accountability and people within the system actually fighting against parents.
Who want accountability well it's.
I guess I should be happy on one hand Aaron that the fact that that parents are getting involved that parents are demanding accountability it's something that we haven't seen this idea of trust me government.
Which has dominated gov head which by the way the republicans in the state of Texas have done they've allowed leftists and Marxists to run gov and decided they wouldn't pay attention or or make it so that.
Parents and students were more protected so what else have you been covering any any other geographic locations because I know that as you mentioned multiple stories multiple ISD sometimes multiple times a day you're getting these these reports of impropriety what else is going on out there.
Every day excessive delays and denials from big insurers keep patients from accessing the care they need and when carries urgent these delays can be disastrous these practices cost billions in wasteful spending driving up costs for American families but while big insurers put up barriers America's hospitals and health systems are in your corner navigating endless reviews and appeals to get you the care you need when you need it most it's time to curb these harmful practices and put the focus back on patients brought to you by the coalition to strengthen America's health care.
Right well I've covered already just this year I've covered dozens of stories all across the state but a very interesting opportunity I had last week happened in Salina ISD and again any of any Texas scorecard readers will recognize that school district as having been in the news recently for a for a sex abuse scandal involving again a coach who was caught secretly recording.
In the boys locker room while the boys were were undressed and in the shower and water that's a big scandal that that that that coaches he's got state and federal charges against him but I will say this with the school district just invited a very a very impactful speaker to come and talk to parents and educators about you know child predators what to look for how to recognize them and how they operate and this me in his name is.
David Gomez he's a school resource officer out of Idaho of all places okay but his handle on Facebook where he's very he's got a huge following on Facebook he's known as officer Gomez and he has spent more than 15 years in law enforcement and as a school resource officer in a middle school talking with kids getting to know what they do watching their behavior and also tracking down the predators who use.
You know social media to connect with and then pray on these kids and I will say.
He said straight out he said many times he said snapchat is the worst of all the social media apps he said it's it's a predators favorite and they love it and.
They use it you know more frequently and I I can confirm that you know informally in my own reporting that snapchat shows up in a number of the stories that I have covered as to how how these predatory school employees connect with students and here's officer Gomez he says all snapchat does is groom kids to be sexualized and so that that should be a warning to parents that they need to understand.
You know how kids are using their phones and not just kids how predatory adults are using it to get at their kids and it's you know it it's happened.
You know time and time again kids have been they get contacted officer Gomez says that by eighth grade get this eighth grade 50% of girls have sent nude pictures of themselves to someone online.
And that's how they that's how it starts they start with some chit chat then they ask for the picture and as soon as they get one picture then they they blackmail that's there's a nerd term for it called sex extortion.
Yes.
So these people sex they sex store these kids boys and girls to either either pay them money to not release those the pictures you know publicly or to send more of the photos because of course they are trading them online to.
You know to the the the the the petas and the creeps out there you know who like the pictures and so this is it's an absolute it's there's an absolute huge trade in the child sexual abuse material and of course I do want to just as an aside I want to ask your readers your listeners to please stop you know stop using the term child pornography it's still in our law that's the phrase they use but this is not pornography these are crimes.
These are crime scene photos and videos these are these are crimes being committed on these children and then pictures being taken and shared around and again done online and be a social media and every every cell phone by the way.
Is a is a production studio and distribution platform for for these kind of things so by parents who put in these things in their kids hands you your these predators are now have that direct access to your kids and they need to be advice anyway so I would recommend parents educators.
To go and follow officer Gomez he's got a website to he's got some great videos that he's he's post online talking about these various things don't don't bury your head in the same appearance or think it can't happen to you we've seen it in school districts large and small across the state of Texas.
We know exactly how they're getting it kids they're using again they're using those cell phones are using Snapchat Instagram and oh at home there's a.
Gaming platform called Roblox that they are also using to get it kids right in their homes parents a lot of parents don't realize that there is this chat feature it's not it's not just a one way gaming system there's a way.
To for people to interact and guess what adults know it and they get on and they start interacting with kids and before you know it.
They're they're getting those kids to send in the new pictures or go meet them somewhere and parents have no idea it's all dark web stuff and you know a lot of these chat rooms on the gaming platforms are populated by the sexual predators and the sex
torsionists and criminals of all of all descriptions and Anderson our guest right now folks she is a reporter for Texas scorecard her her new beat reluctantly I might
imagine because there's a great need for it is all of the sexual predation against our children here in the state of Texas in particular inside of gov Ed and about officer Gomez he's a he's a serving police officer and so he goes
on his own time and his own dime around the country to to help to help school districts or does he talk directly to parents about how to safeguard their parents are their their children from these predators.
Well his audience of course is his parents and school districts so he has a you know he's like like most speakers there's a way to you know book him and have him come speak and you know props to Salina ISD to
to him for inviting you know this particular speaker at this particular time when people needed here and I have to say I was I was disappointed that while there was parents and teachers in the room I didn't see any of the
school board members or the superintendent you know other high ranking administrators you know at that presentation that officer Gomez gave but yes so he's people can can book him to come and speak
and hopefully I'm told he might be invited back to Texas and I hope multiple districts will get in on it and have him you know while he's here in the state to go around and do a do a tour of local
different schools and you know parents obviously always invited as well but yet so he's been he's been a serving a police officer for about 20 years he's a school resource officer and and then he says like during during the summer you know when
schools closed he will work on these teams that that try to catch that catch the online predators right that you use the the decoy right and you get them to show up and so he's busted a bunch of
a bunch of these predators with these kind of sting operations you know during the summer but he's done that too in at the school level he seems like he's created he created you know some fake accounts as a kid to see who
would bite and it's so creepy it's all the all the adults that will log on and try to like be friend who they believe it's like a 13 year old girl and it's it's it's it's barely any time at all before they're you know asking for new picks
or asking to meet up and all this stuff it's it's really gross yeah good grief well let's I guess that we should ask is there anything else the parents around
Texas ought to be concerned about another school district the parents ought to be concerned about through your reporting or any leads that you have to be following up on before we say goodbye.
Oh I've always got leads Chris I'm sad to say that parents are messaging me all the time about about what's going on in their school district or people that have been you know recently recently recently busted
I'm always happy to see when there's the ones that are getting convicted and going to jail but last last week it turned out a couple of previously convicted school employees who had been given
probation instead of jail time guess what they got scooped that people are like look they're back so they are violating their probation and are back in jail so
everybody said well they should have been in jail to begin with which absolutely true so one of the one of the
scandals the female teachers who had been who've been caught of course messing around with the with the males which grossly some people seem to think is okay right they're like they're like oh well and on those boys lucky no they are not and again she
ended up getting probation but she's already she was picked up for shoplifting and back in jail and maybe they'll keep her there this
time because she's committed some serious crimes and in fact if anybody wants to know about the impact on boys of being sexually
assaulted by a female teacher a story out of Katie ISD that I wrote about spin a week or so now this gal was sexually abusing two two boys starting when they were
very young like 11 and 13 and they have reported everything from maybe getting a sexually transmitted disease from this gal
to depression getting hooked on pornography and a suicide attempt even so dropping out of school so all of these things these these boys were they were not quote getting lucky
because they were scoring with an adult who by the way it turned out their dad was also getting it on with this teacher
what so yes it's so shocking and disgusting but the point is that these boys were were definitely you know traumatized and by this abuse and I don't want I don't want
to ever hear anybody saying again how oh it's not you know it's it's it's it's good for the boys it's just the girls that it's a problem
no it's always a problem and the teacher is always at fault here it's always it's always always a crime it doesn't even matter how old the student is for a teacher to have sex with a student is always a second degree felony
that's two to 20 guys and gals so don't do it yeah and I what are we doing to our kids yeah dad is also having relations with the teacher
while she's molesting his own children it's it's it's a man alive it's it's just depraved and it's again the depressing beat Chris I'm not going to lie
yeah I can imagine and you know what I as much as I don't think this is this shouldn't be politicized and I really don't believe it should be
it should be but you know what do you think is going to happen when you turn over government to these leftists to these individuals who were trying to normalize relationships adult relationships with children
that's where the DVNC lives it's on the Democrat side of the ledger and I just and I resent the hell out of state Republicans for turning over our children to these people I really I really do
Aaron Anderson if folks want to reach out to you and perhaps drop you an email if they have some shenanigans going on in their school districts and they want to get some publicity for it where can they go
right well all reporting is that Texas scorecard dot com I can be reached at e Anderson all on word at Texas scorecard dot com I'm also on Facebook all the time and that's where the mom groups are I'm on Twitter or now X
at True Texas T so y'all can reach out to me at any any of those ways I'm always happy to to hear from from people out there also just want to point out that there are some in the legislature are working on maybe some some solutions to mitigate these problems we got a little bit of traction
during the last session of at least holding some of these people more accountable for their shenanigans but we're looking at you trying to make it stronger each time
like you said that's uh... that's not on the democrats the republicans have the the legislative majority so it's on them to uh... you know put forward and pass stronger protections for our kids in schools
yeah and the lead up to you we were talking about james taleriko and how he was asked hey who do you love aside from a family and aside from friends and of course the first words out of his mouth are trans kids and it's like
are you serious right now and of course it was republicans who gave this democrat power with a vice chairmanship inside of the texas house and uh... that that's that's the republicans commitment to protecting your kids folks turn it again
turning your children over to these to these deviant democrats aron uh... and i don't know let me just add james taleriko started as a public school teacher
yes he did a government runs school teacher hey thank you very much i know it's a sad beat but i'm glad you're on it and telling the folks what they need to hear we'll talk to you again soon
thanks chris that right there is going to put a wrap on this salsado storm podcast two things my friends first pick up a copy of the new book the rise of the liberty loving latino a new american revolution
