Speaker 1 (00:00):
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

(00:23):
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,

(00:46):
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

(01:06):
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

(01:29):
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

(01:51):
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

(02:13):
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

(02:35):
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

(03:00):
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

(03:28):
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

(03:56):
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,

(04:17):
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,

(04:42):
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?

(05:02):
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

(05:25):
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

(05:46):
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

(06:06):
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,

(06:30):
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,

(06:52):
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

(07:14):
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,

(07:36):
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

(07:58):
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

(08:23):
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

(08:45):
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

(09:07):
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

(09:36):
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,

(09:59):
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

(10:23):
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.

(10:49):
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

(11:13):
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,

(11:35):
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,

(12:05):
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

(12:29):
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

(12:51):
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

(13:14):
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

(13:36):
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

(13:57):
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

(14:19):
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

(14:41):
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

(15:02):
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,

(15:27):
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

(15:48):
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

(16:09):
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

(16:30):
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.

(16:51):
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

(17:15):
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?

(17:39):
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

(18:03):
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,

(18:24):
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

(18:48):
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

(19:08):
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

(19:34):
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?

(20:03):
Who did this to me? I'm not so sure you'll
