We started Washington State where William Flournoy, who presents as a woman under the name
0:11
Isabel, and served on the Taxpayer Fund at Youth Advisory Board, has been charged with
0:16
first degree rate of a six to seven-month-old baby girl.
0:21
Investigators say Flournoy was babysitting the infant in 2023 when a Google CyberTib flagged
0:26
an image he had uploaded of the assault.
0:29
Oh, FBI agents found a pacifier, a stuffed animal, and a child's cup in his room at a transient
0:35
housing facility. He's also facing separate charges for possessing and distributing child
0:39
sexual abuse material. California, however, won't be outdone. The state's elderly parole
0:44
board has voted to release Gregory Vogel saying, sentenced to 355 years for kidnapping and
0:50
molesting multiple children between the ages of 5 and 11. He served just 27 of those years.
0:57
Vogel saying himself admitted it is hearing that his attraction to children is always going
1:01
to be there though he says he knows his triggers now. That was apparently sufficient enough
1:06
for him to be released 300 and 28 years early. Down in Texas, Democratic Senator James
1:12
Tallahrico, who campaigns as a Presbyterian pastor, continues generating material. He's declared
1:17
that God is non-binary, open to legislative prayer by cycling through Islamic, Hindu, and Buddhist
1:23
names for God. He also claims that there are at least six biological sexes and that pro-life
1:29
convictions are in his words, un-Christian. The Democrats, they know they have a faith problem
1:35
with voters and their solution is to find someone willing to wear Christianity like a costume,
1:39
but hope nobody actually reads the label. Florida took a different approach to something
1:43
entirely, election integrity. The state's legislature passed a bill requiring group of citizenship
1:49
to vote, with Governor DeSantis expected to sign it. The law leans on the existing real ID
1:54
infrastructure so most residents won't need any extra steps. Meanwhile in Maine,
1:58
Democratic Governor Janet Mills is running attack ads against her own primary challenger,
2:03
Graham Platner, overcoming teammate on Reddit in 2013 about women and sexual assault. Platner,
2:09
who has Bernie Sanders backing, is somehow leading Mills in the polls despite the controversy,
2:13
dismissed the spot as a desperate attempt for relevance.
2:17
But a brighter note, Disney debuted a new cruise ad during the Oscars called Midnight Magic.
2:22
It was 90 seconds, and portrayed a father and son taking late night walks at a ship across
2:26
decades of life. There was really no messaging or agenda that people were reduced to tears,
2:32
and one viewer wrote back to the basics for Disney. Now, whether this signals a genuine course
2:37
correction or just good market instincts, that remains to be seen. And that wraps up today's
