In this segment, the hosts discuss a recent case involving a former GOP leader in Hayes County, Austin, who was sentenced to 410 years in prison for sexual assault of children and child pornography.

They criticize the justice system for allowing the perpetrator to go unpunished for similar crimes in the early 2000s and failing to adequately investigate allegations made against him in 2012. The hosts express outrage at the leniency shown to the perpetrator, highlighting the systemic failures in protecting vulnerable individuals, particularly children, from offenders like him.

They discuss the betrayal felt by the victims and the impact of the perpetrator's status as an elected official. They emphasize the need for holding politicians and religious leaders to higher standards and call for greater scrutiny and accountability in vetting individuals for positions of trust. The hosts also condemn the culture of tribalism in American politics, likening it to sports fandom, and stress the importance of addressing systemic issues to bring about real change.
