| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Mormon newscast. It is Monday. It is June 1st, if you can believe it or not. And we are back after an amazing two-week hiatus. I am Rebecca Bibliateca. I am joined, of course, by Radio Free Mormon and Bill Reel. How are both of you this evening? Great. Thank you. |
| 0:19.4 | And fantastic, wonderful. Let's go right to our slides because I want to say, happy Memorial |
| 0:26.5 | Day to everybody. I want to hope that you all had an amazing Memorial Day weekend. |
| 0:31.6 | Here are some pictures of the three of us, the co-hosts here, in case you wondered what |
| 0:36.7 | we were doing over Memorial Day weekend. |
| 0:39.0 | So we have Bill there on the right. Of course, that's AI, but he's told me he grilled up some |
| 0:43.9 | burgers, so I had to make, I had to make a picture. Not AI are my pictures at Disneyland. |
| 0:49.9 | My feet are still recovering following three-year-olds around for three days. |
| 0:55.9 | I do not recommend that to anyone. |
| 0:58.1 | And RFM, where were you exactly? |
| 1:02.1 | We have some lovely pictures of you and your wonderful girlfriend, Wendy, there. I was at an undisclosed location that is not Disneyland. |
| 1:06.7 | Thank God. |
| 1:07.3 | Or anything associated with Disney. |
| 1:08.6 | By the way, today is, I believe, Brigham Young's birthday, so we might want to mention that. How did I forget that? I usually celebrate it every year, June 1st. 1801, if memory serves. That's right, 1801. I'm sure all of us have that on our calendar. There you go. All right, let's talk about very quickly. Remember how I made the joke at the end of the newscast two weeks ago? I said, you know what's going to happen when we go on hiatus. There's going to be more news than ever. I feel like that happened. So we have curated the top stories, some new in the last couple of days and some from a week ago that we weren't here to cover. And hopefully this will give us a good overview of everything that's been happening in the last two weeks. So we are going to cover Mormon Lego scandal goes viral. I think a lot of you have been curious about this. It's a twisted tale that we're going to try to unravel. Tracking Mormon child abusers, annotations, and asteris. This is our fan story. It was a big article in the Salt Lake Tribune. We talk about this all the time. And the Tribune has also tried to, you know, make sense of all that. Our FM's going to cover that. LDS Church examined claims of ex-Arizona sheriff's sexual impropriety. This is Bill's story. I'm sure that you guys have been |
| 2:18.5 | following this too. This has been big on the national stage. Fairview Mayor is asked to leave |
| 2:23.4 | LDS Temple grounds. This is a breaking story that I'm covering that I just barely learned about |
| 2:28.9 | when he dropped this bombshell on another podcast we were doing with him. So pretty incredible. |
| 2:33.6 | I'm going to be talking about |
| 2:34.4 | that. LDS Church fifth Sunday programming or lesson. And we're talking about that special meeting |
| 2:42.5 | about the Constitution Declaration of Independence. Bill is going to tell us what happened there as |
| 2:47.5 | our faithful friends and family attended that fifth Sunday meeting yesterday. We're also |
| 2:51.9 | going to cover state president in Bezels $30 million to fund a lavish lifestyle. That can't happen. |
