00:00:00.000 Kian has an incredible breaking news story that has just come out on Judo News
00:00:04.300 exposing the Calgary Confederation candidate named Thomas Keeper.
00:00:09.540 Really unbelievable and explosive details in this story.
00:00:13.200 So Kian, welcome to the show. Thank you so much for joining us.
00:00:15.980 Thanks for having me.
00:00:17.160 Okay, walk us through the story. Tell us what you reported.
00:00:20.400 Yeah, so for background on this, Calgary Confederation is a swing riding in Calgary.
00:00:25.980 It's a riding that the Liberals could conceivably win if polling stays consistent.
00:00:31.880 Their candidate, Thomas Keeper, is running against the Conservative, Jeremy Nixon.
00:00:37.740 It's neck and neck.
00:00:39.300 We were sent a ton of information about Thomas Keeper, which is, you know, we get information about politicians all the time,
00:00:46.440 but this was a lot that we got on Thomas Keeper, and it was consistent across all of my sources that I spoke to.
00:00:53.720 I spoke to eight people who know Thomas Keeper intimately.
00:00:58.800 They were his friends, some still are his friend, some just know him through business.
00:01:04.140 And they came to me with shocking, shocking allegations.
00:01:08.080 And I'm going to read to you here from the story because I don't want to step out of bounds.
00:01:13.600 Brett Pierce, a management consultant in Calgary, met Thomas Keeper at several social events.
00:01:21.540 um it was sort of through business sort of through friends and he recalls the real estate agent
00:01:27.440 talking casually about disregarding his wife's consent this is something that multiple sources 0.58
00:01:33.740 told us about that frequently he brags about having sex with his wife whether she wants it or
00:01:40.460 not um the quote from brett is he was talking about how whenever we want to have uh however 0.97
00:01:46.880 whenever he wants to have sex with his wife, he just forces her to do so.
00:01:53.480 Brett asked him, he said, is she okay with that? And he said, I'm her husband. She has to be okay 0.86
00:01:59.220 with it. That is one example of him treating women with allegedly huge amounts of disrespect.
00:02:07.940 That's, and that's putting it lightly. One of our sources said to his face that that is effing
00:02:13.680 rape Thomas your wife says no it is effing no not you'll take it whether you like it or not 0.98
00:02:20.620 another fellow who did business with him was not his friend said quote he's a psychopath I'm not 0.99
00:02:29.020 qualified to give mental health diagnoses but this guy is a psychopath that was corroborated by
00:02:35.040 pretty much everyone that we spoke to saying that they got really weird feelings whenever they talked
00:02:40.660 to Thomas Keeper and the way that he treated other people, especially women around him,
00:02:45.840 was shocking to say the least.
