00:18I just wanted to call you, I am very nervous talking to you about it, but I think it would
00:25help bring justice to the people who have been affected by USA Gymnastics and their policies.
00:30This was the most explosive story in several years, yet it was coming out of a small little
00:34newsroom.
00:37Larry Nassar had been the team doctor for USA Gymnastics women's program for 29 years when
00:42we got these allegations about him.
00:44I was like, does he do the see you?
00:46She said, yeah, like he does it to me too.
00:48And I said, we need to call the authorities.
00:50Steve Penny, he said, no, no, no, USA Gymnastics will take care of calling the police.
00:57USA Gymnastics negotiating with Larry agreed to lie to people, and that shows a cover-up.
01:03Dealing with an organization that didn't give a rat's ass about children.
01:07We were going full bore.
01:10Nassar wasn't our target.
01:11Our target was USA Gymnastics.
01:14You are the president of USA Gymnastics.
01:16If you receive a complaint of sexual misconduct, do you turn it over to local authorities?
01:21No.
01:23We love winners in this country, but this notion that we would sacrifice our young to win disgusts us.
01:31We were all made so obedient that when we knew there was a sexual abuser, we would never say anything.
01:39We felt utterly powerless.
01:48USA Gymnastics, they are clinging to a process that has been used to silence dissent.
01:54Nothing turns out like I pictured it.
01:58If I don't do something about it, I can't live with that.
02:05Maybe it's all gonna turn out all right, and I know that it's not, but I have to believe that
02:17it is.
02:18If it's ever going to come out, it's going to come out now.
02:26Your days of manipulation are over.
02:30I'm here today with all these other women.
02:32When I tell you that it is.
02:35Not victims.
02:37Survivors.
02:38Oh, it's more for my benefit.
02:42Maybe it's all gonna turn out all right.
02:47We have the power now.
02:49How to believe that it is.
