00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to be on the ground, thanks

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: to Rav along with my co worker, co host Adam Weiss,

8
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: and my friend for many years, at the International Summit

9
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: on Human Trafficking for Seapack. It's the third year in

10
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: a row they're doing it, and I've got great interviews

11
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: with attorneys at generals from the United States, the new

12
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: HHS senior advisor for Donald Trump, and we just have

13
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: a really great show. So it's very heart wrenching. We

14
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: also have Eduardo Veresticky, who is the producer of Sound

15
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: of Freedom, coming out with a sequel and the impact

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: that that has had on American society. I mean, before

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: you just thought of human trafficking, it's something you can't imagine, right,

18
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: but you don't really We're desensitized to it. We'll see

19
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: a trailer, dead bodies in a trailer in Texas in

20
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten degree heat and then it's one

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: hundred and forty degrees in the trailer. And Tom Holman

22
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: told me, you know, he's tired of holding dead babies,

23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, by the border, and he's not going to

24
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: let it happen again. That's why he's so committed. So

25
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: they had this incredible summit on Capitol Hill. Tom Holman,

26
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: Christy no Mike Johnson showed up and all these great speakers,

27
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: Marshall Blackburn, Senator from Tennessee. But it's a really, really

28
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: moving issue. But Seapack they took the bull by the

29
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: horns and for the last few years they've been working

30
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: with state legislatures in Oklahoma and Texas and Arkansas and Georgia,

31
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: and they got legislation passed. I'm going to get into

32
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: it a little bit later. That helps if you were

33
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: a sex worker, or you were forced into prostitution, or

34
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: you are forced labor. Fifty seven percent of the trafficking

35
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: are males, believe it or not. And you know, it's

36
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: a way to clear your name because chances how you

37
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: had felonies on your record if you were in prostitution.

38
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: But if you were forced into that, you shouldn't be

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: punished going forward, so they made groundbreaking legislation in these states,

40
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: and these people get a chance to get loans, maybe

41
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: get custody back of their children, maybe, you know, be

42
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: able to go back to school by a house. Really

43
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: groundbreaking stuff. So a very special thank you for the

44
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: Seapack Center for Combating Human Trafficking. And I have the

45
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: director who works on the match lap there coming up.

46
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Attorneys general from across the United States are gathering at

47
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: the International the third International Summit of Human Trafficking from

Speaker 1: Seapack today and we have Treg Taylor, the Attorney General

49
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: from Alaski. I'm a long way to be here.

50
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: I'm glad to be here. Is obviously a very important

51
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: issue nationwide and specifically in Alaska.

52
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it affects every state, right in most countries in

53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: the world.

54
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, human trafficking knows no boundaries, no borders by definition,

55
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 2: and it definitely is a scourge on the American society.

56
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Seapacks taking a role in legislation in many states

57
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: across the country, you know, combating it, restoring you know,

58
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 1: the victims of trafficking and their rights to settle back

59
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: into a normal life, being able to get jobs and

60
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: pay rent and get a lease.

61
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, seapacks human trafficking some is an amazing event

62
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,279
Speaker 2: so far, a lot of information, a lot of collaboration,

63
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: a lot of information getting out there to the public because.

64
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,279
Speaker 3: It's going to take it's going to take a whole.

65
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: Group effect, right, You're gonna have to get together and

66
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: collaborate between federal, state, local law enforcement and then using

67
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: nonprofits as well.

68
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you were saying that it crosses all lines

69
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: in Alaska human trafficking issue, so whether it's from domestic

70
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: abuse or other. And you're also saying about fifty percent

71
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: come from Native American community.

72
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, so, and we track similar to the nation

73
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 2: and that our victims are usually between thirteen and twenty four,

74
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: usually about ninety five percent female, but in Alaska fifty

75
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: percent of those victims are Alaska Native.

76
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: Wow. Incredible. Tell us about your interaction with the Trump administration.

77
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: Have you seen a change in the approach you been

78
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: the Attorney General for almost five years.

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: No, I absolutely have seen a sea change in the

80
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: approach on that and working with federal partners on these issues.

81
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: My contact with US Attorney's Office and Anchorage has been

82
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 2: you know, we have constant contact now, whereas before we

83
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of contact and so I'm looking

84
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: forward to working and collaborating more and more with our

85
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: federal partners, because again, it's going to take a team

86
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: approach to combatting this this evil in our society.

87
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you've got the most beautiful state and take

88
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: you in the nation. But you know, problems are similar

89
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: across the board to the rest of the United States.

90
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: And where can people follow the state Attorney General's office

91
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: and where can people go for help if they are

92
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: victims of trafficking.

93
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, we've got a website in Alaska, the Department

94
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: of Law, State of Alaska. And then also we've got

95
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: a few social media accounts where we're trying to educate

96
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: public on these issues and all the other issues that

97
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 2: we deal with in the Attorney General's Office.

98
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: All right, I want to thank you so much for

99
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,120

Speaker 4: It's great to be such.

105
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: An incredible issue, right, human trafficking. What's going on in

106
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: Virginia And how are you guys?

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 4: Combating it man since our leadership has started with Governor

108
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: youngin Winston Sears Artina Governor and of course the Attorney

109
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 4: General Jason Merrez. The made human trafficking a priority in

110
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: the commonwealth. And so with that being said, we really

111
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: focused on just like collaboration and what it means to

112
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: have an aligned effort in how we respond to the

113
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 4: issue and so working with federal, state and local and

114
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: making sure our direct service providers are heard. We did

115
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 4: a ton of like roundtables and town halls to see

116
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 4: what folks are doing, what the gaps are. We're doing

117
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 4: research currently to look at kids, especially kids who are

118
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: trafficked as boys and labor talking.

119
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: I used to live in Richmond, you know, down on

120
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: Carrie Street, a lot of poverty stricken areas, but it's

121
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: a cross as all socio economic line.

122
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: Every I was a mentor for kids who identifies being trafficked.

123
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 4: And let me tell you, we saw kids from every

124
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 4: social economic background, skin color, age doesn't matter. Human trafficking

125
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 4: happens in Virginia in every way. So if you think

126
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 4: about it, we have tourism, we have military, we have construction,

127
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 4: we have agriculture. Like we were thinking about how close

128
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: we are to d C, right, and so there's it

129
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: happens in many different ways.

130
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: And if we are not.

131
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: In one of the things I do want to mention

132
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 4: we even have businesses involved. We have this program called

133
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 4: one hundred percent Back Business Alliances Against Trafficking to encourage

134
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: businesses to be a part of the solution. And when

135
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 4: I tell you that common of attorneys, businesses, I mean

136
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 4: everyone is really working together to understand the problem. They're

137
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: receiving training in a great way. Matter of fact, the

138
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: Attorney General is having his summit in the next couple

139
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 4: of weeks and this is something that he does annually

140
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 4: to make sure that you know, our commonwealth feels supported

141
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 4: in the work that we're trying to do.

142
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: All Right, while Virginia taking the initiative, have you seen

143
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: a difference under the Trump administration on tackling these issues.

144
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 4: I actually, as a survivor of human trafficking as well,

145
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: I served on the United States Advisor Council of Human

146
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 4: Trafficking during Trump's first administration and saw a ton of

147
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: things happen.

148
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you.

149
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 4: Why, because that administration listened to lived experience experts like myself,

150
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: and they sat us at the table, not behind the table,

151
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: but at the table to have candid discussion about not

152
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 4: just here's an idea, let's bless it, can you bless it?

153
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: But can you help us come up with concept all

154
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 4: the way into implementation? And that's why everyone knows more

155
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: about I mean, international trafficking is a problem. Trafficking happens

156
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 4: here in America.

157
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: It's domestic men, men and women for slaver sex trafficking.

158
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you know, even when you're talking about folks with disabilities,

159
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 4: right or when. And we do have communities that are

160
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 4: more under resource, like when we're talking about the Native

161
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: American communities, you know, communities that we don't really see

162
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: upfront in our everyday line.

163
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: A lot of poverty in the Native American.

164
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: Community, absolutely, absolutely, so we need to understand that there

165
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 4: are things there happening. And as a survivor, a lot

166
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: of times you feel like, especially when you're a part

167
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: of some of these underdeveloped or underresourced communities, you feel

168
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: like no one sees me and no one cares. So

169
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: you have an administration like this who says I see you,

170
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 4: and I'm going to name you, and I'm also going

171
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: to put money towards this issue.

172
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: That's huge.

173
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 4: It means that you're willing to invest in me because

174
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 4: buyers are willing. I mean, buyers are willing to pay

175
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: for my dignity right, and my traff occur. They put

176
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 4: a price on me, right. So in America people are

177
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 4: really being bought and sold.

178
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: So it's a case of I'm from the government and

179
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: I am here to help you. And it's actually true.

180
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, which I love all right, And I

181
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 4: do want to say it's not only the government's responsibility,

182
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 4: it's citizens' responsibility. When you see something, you learn it,

183
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: you go out there, you do something.

184
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: Because it's us and there's a national trafficking hotline phone

185
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: number of people can look up on the internet freely.

186
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 4: Right yep eight eight eight three seven three eighty seven

187
00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,439

00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody. I don't know if you saw this

219
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: gut wrenching story. It was in the major media over

220
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: the last few days. Especially the New York Post had

221
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: a great article here about ten kids, some as young

222
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: as two years old, sexually tortured with shock collars while

223
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: being held captive in an Alabama bunker in a multi

224
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: year sex trafficking ring. You can't believe this story. Our

225
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: kids as young as two years old were held captive

226
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: in Alabama and a bunker for three years and sexually

227
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: tortured through the use of things like animal shock collars.

228
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: Horrific chain of events, and people have to recognize, you know,

229
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: the traffic is stopping at the border, and you know

230
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: there are more cases of domestic human trafficking than at

231
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: the border, and that dynamic is changing. You know now

232
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: that Trump has closed it for the second time. You know,

233
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: we can turn our attention to these issues. And I'm

234
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: going to get into some of the warning signs for

235
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: sex trafficking out there. But they seven suspects were arrested

236
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: as part of this ring, and three family members two

237
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: mothers whose children were trapped and abused in the basement.

238
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: The New York Posts was reporting this is this is incredible.

239
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: They gave the kids white powder in their drinks before

240
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: bringing them to clients who would pay up to one

241
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to have sex with the children. Now, I

242
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: guess these are allegations. At this point, it sounds like

243
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: it's true. You know, the selected children would be tied up.

244
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: I can't even get into it. We're sick to our stomach.

245
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: So how timely was this? You know Seapack International on

246
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: human trafficking and they've made great strides. I've got some

247
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: incredible data for you. There's twenty seven and a half

248
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: million people worldwide who are being trafficked, whether it's through

249
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: sex trafficking or forced labor. Seventy seven percent of all

250
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: victims are in forced labor and twenty three percent are

251
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: in sex trafficking. Fifty seven percent are men and boys,

252
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: forty three percent of women and girls, and within the

253
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: sex trafficking trade, seventy eight percent are women and girls

254
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: and twenty two percent are men. Ninety two percent are

255
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: adults and eight percent are children. You know, it's crazy

256
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: and in forced labor, thirty three percent of women in

257
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: sixty seven percent are men, seventy three percent of adults,

258
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:49,119
Speaker 1: and twenty seven percent of forced labor. Trafficked persons are children.

259
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: And it's in all fifty states, and there's at risk populations,

260
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: and there's things you got to look for, you know,

261
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: child abuse or neglect, children and youth involved and forced

262
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: to care the juvenile justice system, maybe in and out,

263
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, getting jumped around from family to family. People

264
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: experience homelessness, people in poverty, survivors of violence, domestic violence,

265
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: unaccompanied ellien children, individuals, displays due to political instability and

266
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: war and disaster. This is just sickening. And law enforcement

267
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: from what I understand, I interviewed Dan Nash from the

268
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: Human Trafficking Training Center. He trains about six thousand law

269
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: enforcement a year. They don't get training in human trafficking

270
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: even at the FBI, according to Dan Nash. So you know,

271
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: he's doing it, and other groups are doing it, and

272
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: I think the focus is changing within law enforcement. But

273
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: all the people that I interviewed at this great event

274
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: at the Capitol, this most important event, you know, told

275
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: me that the tenor and the tone has changed under

276
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: Trump compared to Biden that they're actually focusing in on this.

277
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: This is crazy and Christy Noman isn't playing around. She

278
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: called for the death penalty of these two Mexican traffickers

279
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: when their boat capsized offer torri Pines, California, and three

280
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: illegals were killed and seven are missing. Calling for the

281
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: death penalty and they should because this isn't right. What's

282
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: going on and very very serious issues going on within

283
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: the borders of the United States. You know, it's not

284
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: just Russian and Chinese trafficking or Mexican trafficking, and it's

285
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: a worldwide epidemic here. But I'm going to get into

286
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: how SEAPAC has worked with state legislatures to change legislation

287
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: to help people get back into society who were trafficked.

288
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: But I want to start off. I'm going to go

289
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: to a great interview that we did here the third

290
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: International Summit for Seapacks Centers to Combat Human Trafficking. A

291
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: spectacular day here on Capitol Hill, and we're so honored

292
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: to have with us the e of Free Forever Letitia's House,

293
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: Liz Amling, how are you. I'm wonderful, thank you, excellent, excellent,

294
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: So you just spoke to the audience inside here. How

295
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: important is this effort to you?

296
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 6: It's my life work. It means changing lives and changing generations.

297
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 6: It's the most important thing.

298
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: Why Why are you involved and why did you start

299
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: Letitia's House.

300
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 6: I was on a mission trip with our high school

301
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 6: youth and we saw girl on a street corner named

302
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 6: Letitia and we helped.

303
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: Get it with safety.

304
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: Wow. That's incredible. Okay, So you've been working with Seapack.

305
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: Sea Pack has done a lot. I think it's been

306
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: off the radar for many Americans. How successful Seapack has

307
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: been with state legislatures to pass legislation to protect people,

308
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: help them reset their lives. So what do people do?

309
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: How do they find Letitia's House?

310
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 6: We get referrals from survivors who see us, they've seen

311
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 6: us on TV. We get a lot of law enforcement referrals.

312
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 6: I mean all over the country.

313
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: There's a national hotline right for human trafficking.

314
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 6: There is a national hotline as well.

315
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: Anyone can look that up if they're in trouble. Right

316
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: her need and tell us about some of the success

317
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: stories that you've had with people have come through your organization.

318
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 6: I can give you I'll give you two. When we

319
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 6: had a young lady from South Carolina and she talked

320
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 6: like that Miss Lays, but she had been trafficked since

321
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 6: she was twelve, and she had dyslexia, couldn't read. But

322
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 6: we have a tutor, We have financial literacy and tutors

323
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 6: that come to our home. And it took a year,

324
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 6: but she got into culinary school because she discovered she

325
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 6: loved to cook. So when she graduated from culinary school,

326
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 6: which we pay for, we pay for trade school, college

327
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 6: and grad school, she her mother didn't come. Her mother

328
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 6: was an addict and had sold her. And so when

329
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 6: she graduated, we went and the head of the school said,

330
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 6: what can I say about the young lady. She's like

331
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 6: a still.

332
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 3: River that runs deep.

333
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 6: You give her a problem in the kitchen, she finds

334
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 6: a way to solve it, and she's never gone back

335
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 6: to the lifestyle and she's successful.

336
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 3: It's amazing.

337
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, people need to be able to get jobs and

338
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: go to school. And they have a criminal record because

339
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: they were forced into either forced labor or sex trafficking.

340
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: That's not their fault, right of course not.

341
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 6: And the average number of felonies with the women who've

342
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 6: come through our program is five and so we work

343
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 6: around that. So if you can get your high school diploma.

344
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 6: Most people come with a six or seventh grade education.

345
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 6: We help you get your high school diploma.

346
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 3: We pay for.

347
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 6: Culinary school because you can be a fellow and work

348
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 6: in the kitchen, and you can become a psychologist.

349
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: So wow, it's incredible. Everyone thinks international terms. Oh, you know,

350
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: they were trafficked by Russians, Chinese or across the border

351
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: in the southern border. But a lot of this is domestic, right.

352
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 6: Ninety nine percent of our survivors have been from the US.

353
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 6: Seven out of ten were trafficked out of foster care,

354
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 6: and most of the others are traffic by parents, usually moms.

355
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: Well so that's crazy.

356
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: Maybe they bring our boyfriend into the house, or they're

357
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: hooked on drugs, and.

358
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 6: It's often about drugs. I mean, if a mom is

359
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 6: selling a child just because she's addicted to drugs.

360
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: Do you think not to get too political, but do

361
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: you think closing of the border and the drop in

362
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: say fentanyl and other criminals coming across the border will

363
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: help in your efforts.

364
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 6: I think it will because we had three survivors after

365
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 6: they left our program. You know, they encountered fentanyl and died.

366
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 3: Wow.

367
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: Okay, very moving stuff everybody. Liza Amling and I want

368
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: to thank you so much for joining us today.

369
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 3: Thanks so much.

370
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 7: It's an honor.

371
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: Seapack is having a big effect. You know, people think

372
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: a seapackage just a think tank where like minds meet

373
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: and we have fun for the weekend and we bring

374
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: on speakers and stuff. They are actually working with states.

375
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: Texas State Bills twelve seventy eight the Trafficking Survivors Relief

376
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: Act PAST. It resets the records, the criminal records of

377
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: women and men who've been trafficked and allows them to

378
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: get back into society. In Arkansas SB six point twenty,

379
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: the Child Trafficking Victims Protection and Restoration Act, and Georgia

380
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: the Seapack Crew Champion the HB five eighty two, the

381
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: Survivor Justice Act. Really groundbreaking stuff, very important for judges

382
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: to take the past of these people in consideration. Pretty

383
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: much what Trump did with the first Step back. But

384
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: this is this is just terrible what's going on. So

385
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: they're trying to fix it. SEAPAC taking an active role

386
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: and don't go anywhere. We're going to bring you a

387
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: message from Switch to USA. I'm so excited to have

Speaker 8: been going on.

395
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so tell us about Switch to USA American may

396
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: products by American factory workers.

397
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 8: This is an extraordinary time for all of us to

398
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 8: be in this mission. The mission is not only a

399
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 8: MAGA but MAHA right. And we've been in this business

400
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 8: for maybe three and a half four years, some of

401
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 8: us maybe longer. We are an American manufacturer. We did

402
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 8: the deep dive. We found an American manufacturer that's been

403
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 8: doing business for forty years. And it's a discount club membership,

404
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 8: so you get between forty five and forty seven percent

405
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 8: off when you shop monthly. It's all wellness products, cleaning, laundry, toothpaste, mouthwashed,

406
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 8: the basic essentials for every American. So I always say,

407
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 8: if you have skin and hair and teeth, this is

408
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 8: where you need to be. This is a mission where

409
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 8: we can defund the black Rock and the Pyramid scheme.

410
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 8: That's Blackrock Vanguarden State Street. And this is an American owned, made,

411
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 8: American manufacturer. They're all processed here in the USA, manufactured

412
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 8: here in the USA. Everything is door delivered, including our ranch.

413
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 8: We have a ranch and everything is USA processed right

414
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 8: here from our ranch. They have a processing center.

415
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: All right. I tell our viewers how they can get

416
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: involved and how do they find you.

417

Speaker 1: All right, Maria Lynn, I'd love to see you and

427
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: go to the bottom of the screen there. Switch Tousa

428
00:23:52,680 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: dot com and get it today. Thank you. Hunter Biden

429
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: out of control, you know, going after everybody in Foulmouth

430
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: rants saying you know, in a typical elitist Democrat attitudes,

431
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: you know, talking about illegal immigration and Trump's crackdown. You know,

432
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: how do you think your hotel rooms get cleaned? And

433
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: how do you think you get your food on your

434
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: effing table, he says, And who's going to wash your dishes? Like, yeah,

435
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: if you're you know, we want illegal immigrants here just

436
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: to be our indentured servants, you know. But that's the

437
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: way they think, right It just like Matha's vineyard when

438
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: they got up there and they were sent over from

439
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: DeSantis in Florida. You know, they didn't take them in.

440
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: I bet half their landscapers were illegals though, you know,

441
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: so that's their attitude. And then they relegated the illegals

442
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: to the local Air Force base because they didn't want

443
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: them there. I think the Democrats could have taken that

444
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: as a win and said, hey, we're gonna have a

445
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: big barbecue for you and then we're going to give

446
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: you some jobs. But they didn't do that because they're

447
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: too busy choking on lobsters and they don't want to

448
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: be bothered by people in need and the down trodden

449
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: who are falsely, you know, brought into the United States

450
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: and the false pretenses. You know, it's not fair to

451
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 1: them either, right, you know, they get invited in here

452
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: by Biden and then they're here illegally and they're not assimilating,

453
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: and they're not forced to assimilate. And that's the biggest

454
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: problem with the legal immigration. Outside of fact, there's millions

455
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: of people waiting online to come here legally. But I

456
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: want to get right to it. I got great interviews

457
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: ahead with Chris Carr, Georgia State Attorney General, Edward Verstiki,

458
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: the producer Sound of Freedom, and a woman who's trafficked

459
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: from Jersey, asking Christy nome Or and thanking Christy nom

460
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: and Trump for their efforts. Really great stuff here. Check

461
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: it out. An amazing day on Capitol Hill, Sea Pack

462
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: the Center to Combat Human Trafficking third annual summit here

463
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: and incredible panels inside and speakers, and we're very honored

464
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: to have with us the Attorney General for the great

465
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: State of Georgia, Chris Carr. How are you. I'm doing great,

466
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: It's great to be here. Yeah, this is such a

467
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: heartbreaking issue for so many Americans, and I feel like

468
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't until the Sound of Freedom that people's eyes

469
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 1: really opened because it was just the notion before or

470
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: after thought, but the reality of this tragic thing going

471
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: on right it.

472
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: Is, and Sound of Freedom certainly raised the profile on it,

473
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 2: which is critically important because if we're going to stop

474
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 2: children from being taken advantage of, you've got to have awareness.

475
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: But then you've got to prosecute.

476
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: And so I'm on a panel with two other colleagues.

477
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about what our states are doing.

478
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: Because when the average age of a victim is a

479
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 2: fourteen to seventeen year old girl, like we're talking about

480
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: in Georgie, I mean it's say, eighth to the eleventh grade,

481
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: we got to do all that we can to stop

482
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 2: those children from being victimized.

483
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: And Sea Pack has taken a real critical role in

484
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: working with Texas, Arkansas, Georgia passing state legislation to help

485
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: the victims. Tell us about some of that legislation, they

486
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: absolutely have it.

487
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 2: I think it's been critically important because one, we got

488
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: to understand that victims are victims, they're not criminals. And

489
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: number two, we've got to go after those that are

490
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 2: the actual criminals.

491
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: So in Georgia, for.

492
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: Example, we've worked with Frank Russo and with with a

493
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: number of different folks to make sure that we understand

494
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: that we're going to go after buyers, we're going to

495
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: go after sellers, and we're going to go after enablers,

496
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 2: and for example, that would be like a hotel clerk

497
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: that's also in on the act. So you've got to

498
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 2: have the right level of legislation, you've got to have

499
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 2: the right level of prosecution. You've got to restore these victims,

500
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: and you got to hold people accountable.

501
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so many victims domestically, you know, not just internationally.

502
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: You're talking about you know, men and women, actually more

503
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: men when it comes to forced labor. When it comes

504
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: to sex traffic, sex trafficking, eight percent of them my mind.

505
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 2: Well, and you're seeing that a lot. And that's what

506
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 2: we've really focused on, is domestic minor sex trafficking. We

507
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: also focus on labor trafficking, as you mentioned. But at

508
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: the end of the day, we're talking about buying and

509
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 2: selling human beings. And we believe in the dignity and

510
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: the value and the worth of every human being, and

511
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: every vulnerable Georgian and every vulnerable American deserves to be protected.

512
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 2: And what Seapack is doing to raise awareness.

513
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 3: Is just critical.

514
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: Twenty seven million people around the globe victims of human trafficking,

515
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: more slaves than ever on planet Earth. Right, give you

516
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: the last word, Attorney General Chris Carr from Georgia.

517
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 2: Well, we need everybody in this fight, whether you're a prosecutor,

518
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: attorney general, nonprofit, whatever it may be. But I'm so

519
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 2: proud that we now have an administration that wants to

520
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 2: make crime illegal again and be a partner in our

521
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: fight against human trafficking.

522
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 9: Wow.

523
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. Thank you so much for joining us.

Speaker 3: I'm doing great, Thank you, Grateful to be here in Washington.

527
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, wonderful to see you again. I interviewed you at

528
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: the red carpet premiere of Cabrini in Manhattan about two

529
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: years ago, and you were the producer also for the

530
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: Sound of Freedom. Right. Tell us about the impacts of

531
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: that and what it meant to you.

532
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: Well, you know, that movie was more than a movie.

533
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 10: It became a movement, a global movement of awareness on

534
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 10: this Uh.

535
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: You know, I think it's the worst.

536
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 10: There's nothing worse than than than abusing, abusing, a child,

537
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 10: you know, sexually sexually abuse, abusing children. When I met

538
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 10: these guys in Los Angeles almost ten years ago, these

539
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 10: XCI agents, x FBI agents and and you know US

540
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 10: agents who hs exactly who who were? They were traveling

541
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 10: around the world undercover, rescuing children kidnapped for sexual respectation.

542
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 10: When they shared with me the details of the pain

543
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 10: that these children are going through, how they rescued them,

544
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 10: how they you know, like they visit the.

545
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 3: Darkest corners of the world.

546
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 10: They pintray like a ray of light, you know, the darkness,

547
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 10: and how they rescue them. I said, you know, I

548
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 10: want to be part of this.

549
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 3: I don't know how. I don't know. If I just

550
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 3: write a check is not enough.

551
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 10: And then finally I started asking questions to them, like,

552
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 10: for example, you know what, why if this is a

553
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 10: global problem, especially US and Mexico US number one consumer

554
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 10: of child sex in the world, Mexico number one provider

555
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 10: because of the location.

556
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: If you have the money, you have the solution. I mean,

557
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: you have the.

558
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 10: The military, the police, the technology, the intelligence, they fund everything.

559
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 10: Why don't you just finish this once and for all?

560
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 10: And he said to me. The answer to me, these

561
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 10: agents because it's not a priority. It's not a priority.

562
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 10: And if it's not a priority, it's not in the agenda.

563
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 10: If it's not in the agenda, then it's not going

564
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 10: to happen. And how can we turn this into priority?

565
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 10: And he said, we need to create a movement, and

566
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 10: that's why we decided to make this movie.

567
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: Well before the Sound of Freedom, you know, it was

568
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: just the notion out there that the regimen traffic and

569
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: you don't think the impacts in everybody's life, right, you know,

570
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: when I first saw with my family, there wasn't a

571
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: dry eye in the house. There was a sea change

572
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: after that, right, opened a lot of people's eyes.

573
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 10: Well that was you know Meli Gibson, our you know,

574
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 10: executive producer in this movie, he said something.

575
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 3: That is so truth, very simple, but it's truth.

576
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 10: He said, the first step, the most important step to

577
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 10: eradic hild trafficking is to raise awareness. Because if you

578
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 10: don't know this problem exists, how can you be part

579
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 10: of the movement that is designed to end this problem.

580
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 3: So you need to know.

581
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 10: First, parents, they need to know that this is real.

582
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 10: This is not fake, This is not like happening far

583
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 10: from you. It's happening everywhere everywhere. So that's why this

584
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 10: movie was so important for us. It took us like

585
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 10: eight years. It was not easy. It was the most

586
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 10: difficult film in my life. All the experts in Hollywood said,

587
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 10: this is not gonna work, this is not gonna work.

588
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 10: Towards very hard to find this solution, until finally Interesteddy

589
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 10: show up and they said, we believe in this movie.

590
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 3: And because of them, the movie came.

591
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 10: Out and it was a you know, number one movie

592
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 10: in July fourth.

593
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 3: When the movie came out in twenty twenty.

594
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: Three, you hit one last thing really quick. You're going

595
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: to speak today. A Seapack has done so much to

596
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: help the lives of people who are victims of trafficking

597
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: right and work with a lot of states and making

598
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: legislation to protect them worldwide.

599
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 10: They're doing a mation job, not just in America, but

600
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 10: in Mexico, Brazil, and I mean all over the world,

601

610
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,120

00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 7: also considered a criminal that following with missions at different

623
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 7: visions in different states that I did.

624
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 11: Not choose, it was forced to call me.

625
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 7: It was not a life that I wanted, It was

626
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 7: not a life that I trained of, and it.

627
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 11: Was only until several months ago that all I had

628
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 11: inmations were finally made.

629
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: So I starved a lifetime.

630
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 9: We end up with a life sentence, but I was

631
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 9: either able to continue to be the victim and feel

632
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 9: sorry for myself, or take advantage of the resources. There's

633
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 9: so many you individuals and organizations provide for survivors.

634
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 11: And so I am filled with gratitude. And this is

635
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 11: why I chose. If what happened to me make a difference.

636
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 12: In one person's lives.

637
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 9: Then it was work.

638
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 11: This was not my calling, and I am serving them

639
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 11: from New Jersey.

640
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: I'm a national.

641
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 7: Speaker of an Amy kid and as you said earlier, which.

642
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 11: Really resonates with my art, it's like, we are the people,

643
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 11: we want change.

644
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: Let's not hurt each other.

645
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 9: Her people shouldn't hurt people. Let's do something about it.

646
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 7: Let's come to Washington, let's.

647
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 8: Be the voices.

648
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 7: And so I see you, and I hear you, and I.

649
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 11: Thank you so so much, and I thank you and.

650
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 13: All the administration.

651
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: If you guys saw Obama on this creepy podcast with

652
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: his wife, it's really insane. Is a former US president

653
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 1: grooming children on a national platform. You know, he's saying

654
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: that young men and boys need gay role models in

655
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: their lives, that he had one are the stories about

656
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: Obama that Andrew Breitbart and others were calling out about

657
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: his relationships in college. True, why now what is he doing?

658
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: You know what a bad message to send to parents.

659
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to raise your kids. Let him

660
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: make their own decisions when they're eighteen, But when they're

661
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: five or seven or twelve or fifteen, they need a

662
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: gay male mentor in their life. Sounds like grooming to me.

663
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: Not right, really, not right. I think it's very inappropriate

664
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: for a former president to do that. But we got

665
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: more ahead. Don't go anywhere. That woman got up and

666
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: testified in front of the room everybody on Capitol Hill

667
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: seapac's third Annual Summit on Combating Human Trafficking, and she was,

668
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: you know, telling Christy Nome, who was up there addressing

669
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: the audience. When she took her Q and A from

670
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: the audience, this woman who was in New Jersey was

671
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: a victim of human trafficking and was thinking basically the

672
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: administration seapack everybody for their efforts. And that woman was

673
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: located in New Jersey for Chris Smith's congressional district. He

674
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: joined us for an interview after he got off the

675
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: DAIS as well. So watch this at the third Annual

676
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: International Summit on human rights. We have Congressman Chris Smith

677
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: from New Jersey. How are you so great things? You

678
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,280
Speaker 1: had a great speech up there, and you know there's

679
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: pending legislation in Congress right now right to fight human trafficking.

680
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: Where does that stand that would help victims of human

681
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: trafficking to reset their lives and move on?

682
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 13: Great question. Just yesterday the House Foreign Affairs Committee and

683
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 13: Judiciary and Education Labor will approve it as well. Approved

684
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 13: my legislation called the Frederick Douglas Trafficking Victims Protection and

685
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 13: Realization Act. It's a comprehensive law. And I wrote the

686
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 13: original law back in two thousand called the Traffic Victims

687
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 13: Protection Act, and that was everything domestic and international. This

688
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 13: beasts it up, reauthorizes it, make sure that we're doing

689
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 13: everything we can to prosecute the traffickers, protect the victims,

690
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 13: and prevent it.

691
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: In the first place, there was a young woman who

692
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: stood up and asked DHS Secretary Christy noam. She was

693
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: from New Jersey and she was able to reset her

694
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: life right because a lot of these oh she's from.

695
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 13: Your district and I had to testify twice.

696
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: She's amazing, right, Because you can't like rent a home,

697
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: you can't get a job, you can't get custody to

698
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: your kids. Right, there's a lot of after effects of

699
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: being a victim.

700
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 3: Right, Oh, there's no doubt.

701
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 13: And there's legislation and a serious effort to make sure

702
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 13: that the records of trafficking victims with a capital V

703
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 13: are expunged. There's no reason why, after being coerced into

704
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 13: this heinous industry where people are making money in turning

705
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 13: young women into commodities for sale, that they should have

706
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 13: to bear any responsibility they are victims with a capital V.

707
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 13: So that's another major effort that we're pushing.

708
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: And one last point, A lot of this happens domestically.

709
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: It's not always over the border.

710
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 13: Right in the beginning, like in nineteen ninety five when

711
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 13: I started this, we all thought it was over there,

712
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 13: and we quickly became disabused to that and found out, my.

713
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: God is right here.

714
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 13: It's in our backyards, and these traffickers are everywhere, and

715
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 13: they need to go to prison.

716
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: Well, so important, Congressman Chris Smith from the great state

717
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: of New Jersey, I want to thank you so much

718
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: for joining us today. All Right, I appreciate that we're

719
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: winding up an incredible day here on Capitol Hill. Seapack.

720
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: You guys are doing such great work here and we're

721
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: here with Frank Russo. He's a director of Seapacks Center

722
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: for Combating Human Trafficking.

723
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 12: Right, that's right. I've been a part of this team

724
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 12: since we launched two and a half years ago. This

725
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 12: is our first opportunity to really get out in front

726
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 12: of the community over the last two and a half

727
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 12: years on this issue.

728
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: You know, people need to know what you're doing because,

729
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 1: you know, people think of a seapack, you know, as

730
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: a think tank, a place for people to gather like

731
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: minded people and stuff. But you're on the ground making

732
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:46,479
Speaker 1: a difference across America and state legislatures tell us about

733
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: some of your successes in combating human trafficking.

734
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 12: Absolutely, and I think what people don't realize is most

735
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 12: of the work happens at the state level. Why does

736
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 12: it happen there because of the trafficking. Unfortunately it's in

737
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 12: your backyard. But if it's in your backyard, that means

738
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 12: you can something about it. So lawmakers in Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma,

739
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 12: Arkansas conservative leaders have prioritize really two issues, supporting victims

740
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 12: and giving law enforcement the resources they need to hold

741
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 12: these traffickers count.

742
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, really important. And you know law enforcement offices don't

743
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: always get trained in human trafficking, even at the FBI level,

744
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: you know, So you know, how do we turn the

745
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: attention of law enforcement to look for the telltale signs

746
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: domestic abuse, drug abuse, child abuse?

747
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 7: Right?

748
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: What are the key indicators for people to know and recognize.

749
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 12: It's just like a lot of other fields, you have

750
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 12: to follow the money. So if we're not investing resources

751
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 12: at the state level, if the federal government's not spending

752
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 12: money on this issue, then law enforcement has to put

753
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 12: their time in detail elsewhere.

754
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 3: We don't want that.

755
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 12: Well, we wanted them to have the resources to then

756
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 12: identify victims.

757
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 3: What are you looking for?

758
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 12: It's vulnerable people. They want to have a social connection,

759
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 12: Maybe they don't have a good family, maybe they're stuck

760
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 12: in the foster care system. We want to find a

761
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 12: space where they can all benefit from the support of

762
00:40:58,960 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 12: law enforcement.

763
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: Now, you've had recent legislative successes in Oklahoma and Texas

764
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: and Arkansas and Georgia protecting the human trafficking victims to

765
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: get back on their feet. Tell us about noe.

766
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 12: Most people don't identify that. The victims themselves come out

767
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 12: with so many troubles. The average felonies or misdemeanors of

768
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 12: victim walks away from trafficking with is three to five.

769
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 12: They have a criminal record. It's hard to get a job.

770
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: So they were forced into either slave labor or prostitution. Right,

771
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: and then they have a criminal record. They can't get

772
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: a job, they can't lease a home, they can't go

773
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: to school, they can't have custody.

774
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 12: Right, that's one hundred percent right. You lose your kids,

775
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 12: you lose your opportunity to get a job. And you

776
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 12: heard it or today at our speech. How do you

777
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 12: make someone successful? You build a strong family and you

778
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 12: get them a job. We are telling victims to come

779
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 12: back to society without any of that, and where do

780
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 12: they fall back into the hands of traffickers. We want

781
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 12: to stop that cycle.

782
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: You know, and our audience needs to know. You've been

783
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: doing this for years, right, I know this is the

784
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: third annual summit for this even under the Biden administration.

785
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: You guys are out there have fighting. Tell us about

786
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 1: is there a difference between the atmosphere now and before?

787
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: Is it a little better. Is there more attention on

788
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: this issue.

789
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 12: I think there is. I don't think it's a question

790
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 12: that the Buying administration not only ignored open borders, we

791
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 12: all know that, but they also ignored what comes with

792
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 12: open borders. Anti human trafficking efforts were thwarted when you

793
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 12: had traffickers who felt that they could bring kids across

794
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 12: the border with no consequences. It was a brilliant plan

795
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 12: by them to basically enable traffickers. We have stopped that

796
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 12: with this administrator.

797
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: Right, So now you're not worried about, you know, because

798
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: there's not as many encounters at the border, if not

799
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: hardly any. Now you can focus on the domestic trafficking issues, right.

800
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 12: That's right, And don't think that the domestic trafficking isn't happening,

801
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 12: but we've been able to isolate them and pull out

802
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 12: law enforcement to focus on the people that we need

803
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 12: to get out.

804
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:48,280
Speaker 1: Of person Tom Holman earlier, and he was seconding that notion.

805
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 12: One of the great things about mister Holman and his

806
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 12: work is that he believes he's the borders are, but

807
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 12: he also knows that anti trafficking is part of the border.

808
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 12: It cannot stop.

809
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 3: It just closing the borders.

810
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 12: We actually have to make people safe.

811
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: Now you do be are mad?

812
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 7: We did.

813
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: That's let's track.

814
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 14: Let's say that's that's bad and we're mad.

815
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm so honored to have with us, uh the HHS

816
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: Senior Advisor to the Trump Administration, Kevin Malone. How are you, sir?

817
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 14: I'm doing well, fighting an uphill battle, but we're making

818
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 14: progress and I'm encouraged.

819
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: An important day.

820
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 14: Right, Yes, you're the opportunity to share with all America

821
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 14: what's going on in the fight against human trafficking, what

822
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 14: we need to do, and how everyone can get involved

823
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 14: in this fight. Everyone has a role to play and

824
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 14: we need everyone to come to the fight and do

825
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 14: what they can do to help.

826
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: So why is this issue so important to you? You

827
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: you had seventeen as a professional baseball player, right, You're

828
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: a general manager for the Dodgers, and I know you

829
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 1: have run several organizations dedicated to fighting human trafficking before

830
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: your service to the administration.

831
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 14: Well, I believe God called me to do this. I

832
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 14: believe that it breaks his heart. And I was praying

833
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 14: for a long time what breaks I was praying, God

834
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 14: break my heart for what breaks yours? And I found

835
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 14: out about young kids four, five and six year old

836
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 14: kids being sewed for six being paid to be raped

837
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 14: by men, and it just I'm a fighter by nature,

838
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 14: so I felt that God was saying, get in the fight.

839
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 14: I want you to make a difference and fight for kids,

840
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 14: protect kids. And that's what I've been doing for the

841
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 14: last eleven years full time.

842
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: Wow. And I know the administration is really dedicated to

843
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: this issue, but especially about getting people who are victims

844
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: of human trafficking to reset their lives, you know, to

845
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: fix their situation with convictions and be able to get

846
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:58,919
Speaker 1: their lives back right.

847
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 14: Well, that's a big part of this. I think we

848
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 14: look at it from a law enforcement perspective a lot

849
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 14: of times, which is needed to go after the traffickers

850
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 14: and the buyers. We need to go after men that

851
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 14: are paying to rape our kids. But what's also important

852
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 14: is that we provide opportunities for survivors I call them

853
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 14: thrivers that have lived through hell being sold for sex

854
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 14: or or labor traffic. We can include that in the mix.

855
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 14: But these ladies, a lot of times and men as well,

856
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 14: boys and girls are trafficked. They need an opportunity to

857
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 14: find their purpose and to live a life of meaning

858
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 14: and a life and that means a lot of times,

859
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 14: that means helping them find gainful employment, job opportunities. It's

860
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 14: not just a job, it's an opportunity for them to

861
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 14: get rooted in a community, to be a part of

862
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 14: a community, and to possibly raise a family. So we

863
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 14: need to really support our survivors and President Trump in

864
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 14: this first term. In avankaarticular, we're very good about providing

865
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 14: resources for survivors from human trading.

866
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: And the majority of people human trafficked are actually men

867
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to forced labor.

868
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 14: Yes, sir, that's the case, and that's very true. I

869
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 14: had for four years in the state of Florida a

870
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 14: boys trafficking safe home boys from ten to seventeen that

871
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 14: had been so and what people don't know is that

872
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 14: the DOJ has said up to thirty six percent of

873
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 14: American kids that are trafficked are boys. So we opened

874
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 14: a boy's home. It was opened for four years and

875
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 14: we helped thirty three boys with wrap around services, just

876
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 14: trying to love on them and trying to help them

877
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 14: make sure they were getting educated and learn life skills.

878
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 14: And it was a very successful operation. I thank God

879
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 14: for that.

880
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: All right, great, and not like twenty three percent of

881
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: people trafficked are kids? Right? Very important?

882
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 14: Yes, And the really important point is I think America

883
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 14: needs to know is that sixty percent of kids that

884
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 14: are being trafficked American kids in America are coming out

885
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 14: of foster care. Your care system is broke. It's terribly broke.

886
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 14: Every state needs to needs to do things. So we're

887
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 14: going to work on fixing foster care and that will

888
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 14: help us to stop kids from being sex trate.

889
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: All right, Senior Advisor to Health and Human Services for

890
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: Human Trafficking to the Trump Administration. Kevin Malone, honor.

896
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,400

897
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: left Brooklyn, they turned to the Mets. But I am

898
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: a Yankee fan, that's for sure. I want to thank

901
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: country is better off because of it, and the proof

902
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: is in the pudding. Thank you for watching Break Good Point,
