Bryant discusses how vulnerable kids from foster care and places like Boys Town are turned into victims, revisits the Johnny Gosch abduction and Larry King's protection, and notes how enforcers like Craig Spence disappeared while King was given a quiet job.
- 22:16Tim's guest outlines how DC culture is conducive to blackmail: politicians are highly sexed, arrogant alpha males susceptible to compromise.
- 23:12Guest explains that there are very few stranger-to-stranger child abductions in the US—between 300 and 400 a year.
- 23:44The Franklin scandal pimps procured children from Boys Town outside Omaha, the foster system, and teenagers who fell through the cracks.
- 24:28Tim asks whether Johnny Gosch was abducted by a pedophile ring with connections to the Franklin scandal.
- 24:40Guest believes Gosch was abducted by people with connections to the ring and ended up sexually exploited in some form of slavery.
- 25:17Guest thinks Johnny Gosch was probably alive up to at least five years ago.
- 25:29Lawrence E. King, who ran the ring, sang the national anthem at the Republican National Convention and had pictures with Reagan's daughter.
- 25:51Tim wonders why Lawrence E. King wasn't eliminated if he knew where so many bodies were buried.
- 26:13Guest reveals King was apparently told to keep his mouth shut in exchange for eventual protection and a job at a BMW dealership in Virginia.
- 26:38Tim asks whether Jeffrey Epstein was given a similar deal.
