So will the government, and I'm not just saying this government, I'm saying the United States government, every administration, will they always protect predators?

And in two and a half days, 17 men surfaced, including a New York City firefighter.

They're having fun and they lose their daughter in the course of that.

They never find a body.

I can't imagine, first of all, losing a child, and second of all, never knowing what actually

happened.

And that sex trafficking world does exist.

Did it exist on this ship, on that night?

Welcome back to Daily Dose of Donna. I am so excited to be here, you guys, in studio with the legend, the icon. Chris Hansen. Thank you, Donna. I am. Great to be here. It's like you, when you're in the room, everyone- It's like you're in trouble. Yeah, I'm like, um, okay, I'm fine. I mean, I feel like when you walked in the room today, there's a couple young men in my husband's studio here. I feel like they all tensed up. Is this what happens when you walk into a room?

Sometimes, yeah. It's, you know, if you do something long enough, it tends to have an impact on other people. And look, it's become a brand, not just going after

But we met in person. I don't know if you remember at the Jeff Lewis.

Yes, at the premiere of his show.

Yes.

And Lance, my husband, he has the best story because he says that you guys were standing around

the bar and he sees you and he's like, you look like Chris Hansen.

And you're like, I'm Chris Hanson or something like that.

Because people probably are like your voice, something is very... The voice gives it away. You know, Gabriel and I joke around. You know, I can get away without being recognized in a ball cap. And if I'm unshaven in a, you know, Costco someplace. But once I speak, it's all over. It's all over. I just have one of those voices that, you know, has become unique and sort of recognizable, I think, over the years. So that usually

gives me away if I, even if I sneak around. Did you want to be on TV? Did you want to be

like a public figure before? I started getting interested in the field when I was about 15 years old. I grew up in
