Hey, listeners, it's James Parker. Can you keep a secret? The next episode of Daughters of d C is up next, But first a quick word from our sponsor, iin Horn's Epic Productions, and I heard radio present Daughters of DC breaking news. Just in Judge Crawford read will be the President's nominee for the Supreme Court. Join me, Patricia Withers as we dive deep into Judge Reid's record and ask is this man a barely concealed segregationist or a crusader for religious liberty? Tonight on the blame game. Congratulations, Dad, you're gonna be on the Supreme Court. Thanks son. Now, if you could refrain from calling the daughter of a senator a slut in public, this could go over smoothly. She was accusing you care what she was doing. I do not even care if she actually is a slut. I'm about to secure a lifelong appointment. If you watch your messes cleaned up, you better fall in line. Mm hmm. Now smile, son, everyone is watching me. It's no secret that in Washington, d C. Corruption is everywhere. You could say it's gone viral. That's why my friends and I decided to take on the system from the inside. I'm James, I'm Peyton, I'm Celia, I'm Natalie, and we're the daughters of DC. I can't believe it. It seems like Mom couldn't either. She bolted as soon as I told her the news. Now the daughters are trying to strategize, but it's also overwhelming. Why is it always the worst people who rise to the top? And what can we even do about it? Can we just staying here the rest of the night might be the easiest way to avoid my parents? What's going on with him? Celia? Are you really going to ignore them all night? You aren't acting like the independent adult you say you are. You don't get it. Your dad is so open with you, even when you do something wrong. He tells you why he's disappointed. Not all the time. Well, my parents are different. When they feel slighted, they don't tell me, They show me. One second. You've been sitting on a landmine, baby hacker. What do you mean? And you didn't tell me? Not very courteous? Haven't died in an exemplary instructor? What land mine? Oh? I see? Your naive mind could not comprehend the magnitude of your discovery. So focused on the forest, you missed the trees my discovery. Can you just tell me what's going on? And however will you learn? Perhaps I may endeavor to utilize your work to my ends. Thank you, baby Anchor. I'm much obliged. Wait, Blacksmith, whoa James? You look like someone just told you all lives matter? Are you okay? Yeah? I think I just need to go find someone who this guy on? Um Adrian? Adrian from the lacrosse Tank. Hold on, James Parker, are you too a thing as well as everything? No? Just friends, but seriously, guys, I have to go. Senator and Mrs Blackburn, thank you for your very generous donation to the college. One for the boss given it is just in our d n X. Speaker, Parker, he who is greedy for gain troubles his own house proverbs, But he who hates bribes will live. I'm sure you heard the news about Judge Read. The nomination is well earned, if not a little surprising. Those Reads have a way of getting what they want, even if it seems impossible. Well, you don't sound very happy about the news, Speaker. As a Democrat, a justice with Reid's history isn't ideal, but a justice with no political backbone and a thirst for power is chilling. Then we're in agreement. On the bright side, Look how our children have grown. James looks lovely tonight, even if she seems to be speedwalking. James, what are you sorry? In a hurry? Adrian James? When a dance again? No? I mean sure, but something's up? What's going on? Locksmith? He just told me I found something, something big, and he's going to use it. But I have no idea what he's talking about. What could it be that the thing? I haven't found anything on Tanner. I've spent weeks looking. We even broke into his phone. You know, we saw her ab shots. No that's not all. We saw the forest for the trees. The spywear on Tanner's phone was installed by his dad. Yeah, it could have created a portal between their phones, a portal that goes two ways, so we can't access to Judge Reid's phone. I wasn't even thinking about it, because all we've cared about his Tanner. But Locksmith does, and like you said, he's majorly shady. What do we do? Could Locksman tell the fads we put spywer on Tanner's phone? Or do we go to the FEDS first? We don't have to tell Judge Read do we speaking of? Where is Judge Read? All bow the meeting halls, all bowls to the meeting hall? Do you need to Yeah? I probably should. You should too, your mom's speech is coming up. Yeah, but Locksmith also told me to use tonight to find information. I thought he meant about Tanner, But after all this phone stuff, I wonder if he meant Judge Reid. Maybe. But that's the thing. Everyone's about to go. Watch them crown, Mr Botillion. If Judge Reid isn't here, it's because no one's going to notice he's gone. Exactly. I have to find him. Locksmith's motives aside, I have to figure out what's going on. Okay, let's get to it and all four of few words from the Chair of our organization, followed by the coronation of Mr Boltill introducing Speaker of the House Angela pardon, thank you so much to everyone who came out to support the fiftie class of the District of Columbia. Bossa. The tradition of ushering in a new class of young black men into adulthood is one that I hold very dear to my heart. My husband was an alumnus of the class, and now my son will be an alumnus of this one. This display of pride and community is one that I have worked hard to maintain in my political career. But politics aside, this is very personal to me. I am so proud of every young person who participated tonight, But I do have to say a special word to my son, Cole. Cole Parker, you are such a bright light. Watching you and your sister mature has been the highlight of my life. I only wish that your father could see you both now. He would have loved to share this tradition with you. If I was a probably corrupt is definitely a moral judge, only attending an event to better my standing with the black community. Where would I go to do my super evil dealings. The smoking lounge. That's where the boats hang out before our entrance. Obviously you can't smoke there anymore, but it's got mad old timy, macho vibes, you know. Lead the way. Okay, it's right in there. I think I can hear people. Let me see if I can crack the door a little so we can listen. I have all right, secure denomination. A nomination is not an appointment. Oh my god, that's Celia's dad. It's only a technicality at this point. The political assassins don't pounce when you have no value. They save their ammunition for when the targets on your back, as it might be after receiving a nomination. Oh I'm saying is if you want a justice who will continue to play a long you need to level up your game. We have supported you at great personal cost through every grave mistake that you've made, even when they want did you cut loose? They? Who is they? No idea time? I delivered the verdicts. You are asking for a lot, and I'm worth every red cent. But with that, who's there, white box, Mpinia, what are you saying? I hold the detonator, beware of shrapnel. That doesn't sound good. The Mr. Votelian Award goes to the bow who has demonstrated leadership across all the traits we honor tonight. Academics, community service and athletics. Tonight, Hyllarie is Cole Parker. Oh, con come out up here, thank you, thank you. I am so honored to be named the fiftieth annual Mr Bowtillion. Thank you, Mom for that beautiful speech. Every day I am inspired, um um by your dedication to both your job as Speaker of the House and as your job as a mother. I'd also like to thank my twin sister James for always being right by my smination disgrace. What's happening? Mom? Do I keep going cold? Honey? I'm so sorry. The timing is terrible, but Judge Reid got hacked and they just released everything. Hey, d O d C fans stay tuned. More Daughters of d C is up next, but first a quick word from our sponsor. Hey, listeners, this is James Parker taking a stand and can be scary, but my friends and I have your back. Looking for ways to become more informed and take action. Head to Daughters of DC dot com for resources to get started. What's going on? You haven't heard my botillion turned into an expose on Judge read so much from my speech? Oh? I'm sorry? Cool? Where have you been? At least he's sweating. I still can't believe Mom invited him. My lord buck, hang on there, we're friends. You know taking can handle this, can throw this sure, Crawford, Sure, I uh see the missus is calling me good night. Hold on a minute, dang it, Mr Liu'm leaving so soon. We've got to strategize. Only a technicality I believe were your words. We will see Dan. I gotta get out of here, leaving so soon, Judge, y, I left something in my car. Oh Crawford, that's just a good liar anymore, are you? This is very inflammatory language from a man who claimed he wanted to mend his relationship with the black community. I never said that word. That's about the only word you didn't say, and you tried to threaten me, which wrestman Rosenberg. There's no reason to over exert ourselves. The proof is in the pudding. That is no proof, and there is no pudding. These alleged records have clearly been photo shocked. My team will be releasing a statement soon. Good luck with that. Good night, Crawford. Not an excellent time for a security breach. Judge, you fail to inform me of all your weak points and these other consequences. Lacksmith, you sort you're supposed to stop the it's like this from the happening. What use are you with ironder? Brook like a dang fool. Do not confuse our relationship. Judge, we are colleagues. I am not at your service, and we both know this could have been worse, much worse. Kidding my few joys on the line. You have no pimmon your faith just yet, Judge, I'm already locating the culprit. Hey, Harry, what a disaster. My son's never going to speak to me again. I thought Natalie's speech was going to be the worst moment. Who's wrong. At least we can drink to Read getting what he deserves. The president has to drop him now wine beer. Oh no, thanks, Angela. I'm still sick to my stomach. And I suppose it's possible for Read to turn this around. What do you think about moral relativism? My husband used to tell the kids that truth is not always easy, but it's always right. I had to tell him to stop saying that, because right is a direction, it isn't a moral high ground. I paid a proxy to take Natalie's say t s for her. Oh my oh, and now she knows, and I'm pretty sure Read knows this is something that could ruin my career. I spent all these years preaching about political transparency and now Read knows how. I don't know, but he came over to me before all the Michigans just now, all smug, alluding to some great sacrifice I made from my daughter. So he didn't accuse you of anything explicitly. Read isn't the kind of guy to hide his cards. He's too much of a narcissist. If he knew about the test, he would have told you right then. And they're just to see you squirm. Did the proxy sign a nondisclosure? No? But I assume Harry, if you're going to break the law, you can't assume anything. I'll call an attorney friend of mine. She'll get you an air tight NDIA in no time. What about Natalie, She isn't the most discreet person. That's gonna be a heart of fix. How were her scores on the protests understood? Well, you're going to have to just lay it out for her if she wants to attend a college of note, some sacrifices needed to be made. She won't stop berating me about how wrong I was for cheating. Unless you're physically hurting another person, there is no such thing as wrong when it comes to protecting your children. Natalie and I are heading to the after party, trying to salvage what's left of this not are y'all coming time to celebrate Freed getting exposed? I'm ready to rage. Yeah, go ahead without me. Adrian offered to drive me. Oh, Adrian, you two already at the grabbing a ride phase. This might be the most serious you've been about. A voice insane from one direction. Shut up, Peyton, It's not true. Celia. Where'd you go? I thought I saw her talking to her mom right before I left. No worries. I'll find her and we'll catch up. Have them bring the car, will you? Where is he? Mom's dad? Come on, you won't even talk to me. Where's William Dean? He's on his way. It was ridiculous of you to ban me from coming to the bus. Had you done anything out of line at this event tonight, it could have had grave consequences for your mother and I. But you never told me why. You never explained anything to me. You either leave me alone completely or try to control me. I was a lot like you when I was your age, exuberant, unafraid, but unlike you, I did not grow up wearing Alexander McQueen. I didn't have an unlimited allowance. I had never even left my hometown before I married your father. You live the life that I dreamt of as a teenager, and yet you are ungrateful. I'm not ungrateful, mom, I just wish that you could be more honest with me. It's for your safety. We have let you run free long enough, but if you want to continue to live the life that we live and attend high society galas with future A listers like Mackenzie, you must obey your father and I always am I understood? Is that I am? I understood? Yes? Good? I expect you can find your own way home him. Why haven't you set me any pecks of that gorgeous McQueen dress yet? Mackenzie, all went wrong? Can you pick me up? Yeah? Be there and fine? How is it possible that I'm still in high school? I'm so over this, Celia, see you in a few Kenzie, Hey, James, Hey, are you okay? I'm fine? Do you seem shaking up? I'm fine? Well, Celia, I I have to tell you something. What your your parents, whatever you heard from Natalie, or whatever you're thinking. I can handle my parents. Okay, I know, but you know what, James, You're but out of my business? Hey, are you okay? Paton? Yeah, I'm fine. You want to talk about it. I don't want to cross a line or anything, but I'm a pretty good listener. See I cannot talk all day? Still not talking? Okay, Okay, I want to dance always. It looks like Peyton and your brother are getting pretty serious. I don't even want to think about it. So you are painting blackbun are friends? I don't get it? Yeah, Well, someone looking at us right now probably wouldn't get why we're friends either. We're friends? Yeah? Who maybe could hang out more outside of the hacker forms or whatever? I mean, sure, you know, if there was something cool to do outside I mean not like outside outside, but like not online cool cool. Yeah? Okay, this night has basically been a total disaster for pretty much everyone I care about. But Locksmith also totally threw down a judge Reed and Adrian is Onyx And is it wrong that I feel like I'm totally flying right now? You better have answers, Locksmith? Who did this to me?
