LDS (Mormon) leader Dallin Oaks reacts to the march and hunger strike led by Sam Young to eliminate interview questions of sexual nature with minors. See protectldschildren.org for more info.

00:00 - 00:03 Sam Young's protest march in Salt Lake City is behind us

00:04 - 00:05 They started from the City & County building

00:05 - 00:07 And marched downtown to the Church office building

00:08 - 00:12 Things heated up when someone touched the building

00:12 - 00:15 But our security detail put a quick end to it

00:17 - 00:19 Good. So this so-called cause is over now?

00:19 - 00:21 We can stop worrying about this irritation?

00:24 - 00:26 President Oaks...

00:27 - 00:28 Sam...

00:31 - 00:33 Sam has begun a hunger strike at Temple Square

00:34 - 00:36 He's invited every single one of us to sit in a chair and talk to the victims

00:53 - 00:58 Anyone who has masturbated in the last week get out

01:13 - 01:15 And you three are liars!

01:15 - 01:17 You think I don't know how this works?!

01:18 - 01:23 They want to stop these interview questions so that we lose control!

01:25 - 01:28 When you convince a 12-year-old boy that touching his little factory is bad

01:29 - 01:31 you own him!

01:31 - 01:34 Repentance, tithing, regular activity

01:34 - 01:37 you think they're doing that because of healings and miracles!?

01:37 - 01:40 No! The ball and chain of imperfection is why we're here!

01:40 - 01:42 President, some would say this is only about protecting the children

01:42 - 01:46 It's about Sam Young and his agenda!

01:46 - 01:48 But even if we can discredit him there's still the message...

01:48 - 01:52 The message? Why are you so concerned about the message?

01:53 - 01:54 Do you know what our message has been since 1830?

01:56 - 01:57 That God told a prophet to lie to his wife and community

01:57 - 02:00 and marry more than 30 other women in secret

02:00 - 02:03 or else an angel would kill him!

02:04 - 02:08 That's what correlation committees are for you idiot!

02:08 - 02:13 Our members make excuses for Joseph Smith every day

02:14 - 02:16 why wouldn't they do the same for these stories?

02:17 - 02:21 They won't even read them anyway since anything uncomfortable is automatically "anti-Mormon"!

02:27 - 02:29 We need to show uncompromising solidarity here

02:30 - 02:34 Nobody is to talk to Sam or the victims! Leave that chair empty every day

02:34 - 02:36 just as Jesus would have us do

02:41 - 02:42 And there will be no policy change!

02:43 - 02:47 This can only happen after a revelation following decades of societal pressure!

02:48 - 02:53 How dare a regular member suggest change from the bottom up!

02:54 - 02:56 I don't care how long he goes without food.

02:56 - 02:59 If he attracts any followers or undesirables...

03:00 - 03:02 or so much as blocks the sidewalk for a second, make sure somebody calls the police!

03:04 - 03:07 That wives thing was news to me too

03:14 - 03:16 To be fair, I have been wrong before

03:19 - 03:23 I'm still recovering from defending those Hoffman forgeries in the '80s

03:25 - 03:26 And don't get me started on my pet project...

03:31 - 03:33 of anti-gay proclamations and legislation

03:40 - 03:46 Everyone seemed on board in the early '90s, then suddenly...

03:46 - 03:49 Maybe we really are out of touch.
