[00:00:00] You do know that files like to sleep [00:00:02] with children oneon-one, don't you? [00:00:04] Isn't that something that you you've [00:00:06] learned by now? [00:00:07] >> The I'm sorry. I don't know what's going [00:00:10] on here. [00:00:10] >> People don't want to talk about it, so [00:00:12] I'm going to talk about it. I just can't [00:00:14] unsee what I've seen. [00:00:18] My family grew up in evangelical uh [00:00:23] circles and Canut Camps was the place [00:00:26] for summer camp in the '9s, 2000s. [00:00:35] He ended his life in 2019. [00:00:40] I've been on a journey ever since to [00:00:41] find out what happened to my brother. My [00:00:43] brother was really struggling. I would [00:00:45] get these calls from my mom or my dad [00:00:47] and they'd be like, "We just had to put [00:00:48] Trey in treatment. He's not doing well." [00:00:53] >> Pete's ministry was tremendous. It's [00:00:57] going to come out that Pete Newman was [00:01:00] abusing boys, but it was really just [00:01:02] boys being boys. Typical middle middle [00:01:05] school experimentation. Like minimized [00:01:07] it, downplayed it with my brother Trey [00:01:09] right there. [00:01:11] >> Basically saying, "Here's the story and [00:01:12] you're sticking to it." [00:01:14] >> To talk about the details of sexual [00:01:16] abuse, [00:01:17] >> it can be very hurtful to the child. [00:01:20] >> It can be. [00:01:21] >> He's known for his crucifixion [00:01:23] reenactments. So, it's called Cross [00:01:25] Talk. There would be one night where [00:01:27] there's like a bonfire, like a burning [00:01:29] cross, and you nail your sins to the [00:01:31] cross, and everyone's weeping. These are [00:01:32] like sevenyear-old kids in some of the [00:01:34] camps. [00:01:35] >> This is the biggest sex abuse scandal [00:01:37] that no one's ever heard about. The [00:01:39] reason why no one's ever heard about it [00:01:41] is because the insurance company and [00:01:43] Canuck did a really good job of covering [00:01:45] it up. [00:01:45] >> This is happening all over the [00:01:47] world in every community in [00:01:52] it's everywhere. Been in all the [00:01:54] churches forever. But it's like they're [00:01:56] using his name to get to us to to the [00:02:00] kids. [00:02:01] >> My brother Trey was really struggling [00:02:03] how it and then died destroyed my faith [00:02:06] because I'm like where were you God? [00:02:09] Where are you? Why are you letting this [00:02:12] happen? These institutions [00:02:15] are a part of the problem, right? It's [00:02:17] especially atrocious when it's in the [00:02:19] name of Jesus. Idols demand sacrifice [00:02:23] like Mulik. [00:02:25] We just covered this with Dr. Dan [00:02:27] Schneider. [00:02:28] >> It's a lot about personal sin, right? In [00:02:31] most mainstream evangelical theology and [00:02:34] we've ignored this concept of [00:02:36] institutional sin. [00:02:38] >> Really scared to be honest because we [00:02:40] never suspected something like that from [00:02:42] him when he said he was a pastor and all [00:02:45] stuff of that [00:02:46] >> because of how incentives are aligned [00:02:47] towards you know fundraising money as [00:02:50] part of it. It's created idols. People [00:02:54] idolize Joe White. People idolize [00:02:55] Canuck. People idolize Camp Mystic. [00:02:58] People idolize their mega church. You [00:03:00] name it. [00:03:08] You're letting this guy stay on your [00:03:10] camp property while awaiting trial when [00:03:13] this has just happened to his daughter. [00:03:15] >> You're a hero to our child. Um, you're [00:03:18] he had more kids doing year- round Bible [00:03:21] studies, which is one of our top [00:03:23] measures of success. [00:03:26] >> I'm here because my brother died by side [00:03:28] in 2019 after settling his civil lawsuit [00:03:31] against Canuck that involved a [00:03:33] restrictive NDA. [00:03:35] >> I just saw that NDA for the first time [00:03:37] after we passed Trey's law in Texas [00:03:41] in September [00:03:42] >> when Oh man, dude. [00:03:44] >> 2025. And now I know why they were so [00:03:47] >> NDA him after the abuse. [00:03:49] >> All of these victims. Yeah. Except one [00:03:52] family refused to sign the NDA. Kanekut [00:03:54] came after them. Federally sanctioned [00:03:56] them because they refused to sign the [00:03:58] NDA. He was scared to speak about his [00:04:00] abuse even in therapeutic settings. I [00:04:03] used to refer to him as a survivor, but [00:04:06] he didn't survive past the age of 29. So [00:04:08] now I refer to him as a victim and I'm [00:04:10] trying to be his voice. [00:04:11] >> Pete Newman gets arrested. [00:04:13] >> Yeah. Then more of these people start [00:04:15] falling. Then they reach out to all the [00:04:18] victims and they try to make it sound [00:04:20] like it was some other event that them [00:04:22] up in the head. [00:04:24] >> And then they convince them to sign an [00:04:27] NDA saying that they'll never talk about [00:04:29] how Pete Newman or anybody else at Camp [00:04:32] Canakook and in the defense attorney is [00:04:35] having them having their client sign [00:04:38] this [00:04:39] Floodwaters claimed the lives of 25 [00:04:41] campers and two counselors at Camp [00:04:43] Mystic on July 4th, known as Heavens 27. [00:04:46] Today's lawsuit alleges those deaths [00:04:48] were preventable. [00:04:50] >> My life changed again on July 4th of uh [00:04:54] 2025 [00:04:56] when I was at the beach with my family [00:04:58] and um my sorority sister's group text [00:05:01] started blowing up and it was like flash [00:05:04] flooding in the Hill Country. I'm like, [00:05:06] so like I'm I'm up in the Northeast. I'm [00:05:09] like, why are you giving me weather [00:05:10] updates? Um, and then that escalated [00:05:13] into [00:05:15] Yla's missing, one of my sorty sister's [00:05:17] daughters. And then I turn on the news. [00:05:20] I mean, we're all getting ready for the [00:05:21] Fourth of July parade. And um then I [00:05:25] keep getting texts. There's a text I got [00:05:27] of a cabin floating down the river with [00:05:29] looked like 50 kids in it. [00:05:41] But anyways, maybe the next time you go [00:05:43] to the Texas Gun Experience, you can [00:05:44] take this with you [00:05:45] >> for real. Oh my gosh. Thank you. [00:05:51] >> This one. I like this one. [00:05:53] >> You like 15? [00:05:54] >> Yeah. [00:05:59] >> Brush it.
