• 1:42
  of human trafficking and why government efforts often fall short learn how traffickers exploit legal
• 1:47
  loopholes the urgent need for better law enforcement resources and the power of awareness in driving
• 1:52
  change when we look at you know you know your story and when you started to get involved and
• 2:08
  it wasn't really as much of an awareness push as there is right now I know I was reading about
• 2:13
  Tim Ballard story and he was I guess former CA Homeland Security and he started
• 2:19
  oh you are because he felt limited by the government's resources as well which is a scary thought
• 2:25
  because as the average person you're hoping that the government is doing a good job of dealing with
• 2:30
  this because I mean who else really who else has the capacity to deal with 50 million globally
• 2:36
  traffic to victims um but that's that's not the case I mean you're you know the government is not
• 2:43
  doing as much as it could or maybe even like inform us about what the government's doing what
• 2:48
  they're not doing maybe are they limited by some mandates and procedures in the US are they
• 2:56
  limited abroad when you deal with foreign governments like I want to understand a whole
• 3:01
  dislike that surrounds us yeah I mean it's a giant system first of all you've got
• 3:06
  different facets of government you've got it's a bipartisan issue like 100% I'm a Democrat
• 3:13
  Tim's a Republican and both parties work together to do this but then you you've so you've got
• 3:19
  Congress then you've got Congressmen you've got senators you've got the State Department you've
• 3:24
  got the United Nations you've got Homeland Security you've got the agencies CIA FBI it's a
• 3:32
  it's a multi-faceted issue and so it's it's a multi-faceted approach you can you can't and it's
• 3:41
  not one that will work we can't it doesn't matter we can't we can't legislate our way out of this
• 3:47
  we can up the laws we can make further punishments but everyone's catching up to this if that makes
• 3:53
  and I always hear these criticisms of like welcome the police or how come the blah blah blah look
• 3:58
  the same guys that we want to go answer every single robbery and investigate homicides and
• 4:06
  X Y and Z are the same guys who are doing trafficking I mean after I only one time a year does this
• 4:13
  operation cross-country in the United States where they do undercover strings all across the
• 4:18
  country all across America but that's once a year like and it's a great thing and don't get me
• 4:24
  wrong but we know it like you know hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of more agents and hundreds
• 4:29
  and hundreds and hundreds of more policemen and law enforcement and all of this so that we can
• 4:35
  even begin to tackle this problem just on a national level let alone on a global scale it's
• 4:44
  it's it's and these guys are these criminals are smart and they know that we're just catching up
• 4:55
  to the issue and so they find loopholes and they they go across borders and they find out okay is
• 5:03
  this the role well good that's how I'll break it and that's how I'll do this and it's just
• 5:08
  it takes it takes a massive effort and it starts with education in my opinion it's why I do
• 5:18
  the podcast it starts with education and making people aware that this is happening and it's
• 5:23
  happening to our children and it's happening not only globally and internationally but nationally
• 5:31
  and it's happening to happening to foreign subjects and domestic and that's what people don't know
• 5:38
  and and that's what was so incredible about son of freedom I was like I had no idea how many people
• 5:42
  still didn't know about this and even at the you know at the event that you saw me speak at I was
• 5:47
  shocked and how many people came up to me were like I had no idea yeah I was like wow really still
• 5:52
  but you really don't because it's not out there enough because it's just a poster on a bathroom
• 5:57
  in an airport that's it exactly it's not real people don't know they don't know what to look for they
• 6:01
  don't know what it looks like and what aren't those prostitutes what do you mean she's being held
• 6:06
  against her well and what do you mean I what do you mean it's American citizens this is happening to
• 6:12
  I thought it was like foreign not that that makes it okay but it just makes people careless it's just a
• 6:18
  weird tell me tell me that story that you said when you were doing this presentation about the
• 6:25
  ad you put up on Craigslist and the amount of people that responded because that was a big WTF moment
• 6:33
  I know so this was back in 2014 15 we put an ad in Craigslist that in this time you know
• 6:43
  northern California city not even a big city not like Sacramento but like a small smaller city
• 6:49
  and we put this ad in Craigslist and it was coded meaning so that their algorithms couldn't take it
• 6:55
  down just yet they took it down but just yet and this ad said husband and wife in town three days
• 7:03
  only need someone to educate in quotes our nine year old 12 year old if it was 12 or 13 year old
• 7:12
  girls while we watch and within 15 minutes we had 35 appointments and the the vice squad was like
• 7:20
  their jaws were like they're like what they had no idea this was happening in their jurisdiction
• 7:27
  they had no idea and that's I see that time and time again they had no idea this is happening
• 7:34
  in their town and it was I mean it was shocking they had no idea it was heartbreaking 35 and 15
• 7:45
  minutes in a small in a small town small town yeah you be city if you want to look it up so

• 9:50
  it's changing it's it's you feel that it's changing because you're living in this world
• 9:54
  yeah look I mean since I've been learning about this what 2009 2010 you didn't see one
• 10:01
  news article you didn't see one news piece you didn't there was no operation cross country
• 10:07
  there was no like the only thing you ever heard about was maybe you know once every two seasons
• 10:11
  an episode of SVU you know I get and then you and then it was like you know in a foreign
• 10:19
  national it wasn't an American and it's seen it you just didn't hear about it or people went all
• 10:24
  those poor you know I've heard about that in Cambodia or Thailand or the Philippines
• 10:29
  know it's everywhere it's every country it's everywhere it's every city and so now you see it
• 10:39
  you hear about it like you could just google trafficking google any town Georgia
• 10:44
  Alabama Chicago um Naperville um which is my hometown um any city and just google that and
• 10:52
  human trafficking and you'll see it and you'll see the news articles and you'll see the cases
• 10:57
  and you'll see the arrests you know it's out there now and it wasn't out there before and
• 11:02
  sound afraid I'm sure change that man wow yeah like it sure changed that you know I was pitching
• 11:08
  not many people know this but I was pitching a television show on um the work that I do and on
• 11:14
  trafficking and we pitched you know almost everybody in town and everyone in town these are
• 11:20
  phenomenal pitch meetings you know when I would tell these stories and every single solitary one
• 11:25
  said we love it we love it it's too dark it's too dark no one wants to hear about this no one
• 11:30
  wants to hear about this and that sure proved them wrong when sound of freedom came out man wow
• 11:37
  like I'm shocked at the the amount of people that have gone to see it and they want to be
• 11:44
  able to tell me that they've seen it like I know people are like oh it's not true or that was
• 11:48
  because angel studios did whatever I don't know I have nothing to do with the film people think I
• 11:53
  said people congratulations I have nothing to do with the film like absolutely nothing
• 11:58
  um and I don't know what the angel studios campaign was I heard I just read about it like
• 12:01
  everyone else did I'm not even know I just saw that there was saying yeah also know how many
• 12:05
  people have told me that they've seen the film well it changed your life that's
• 12:08
  yeah I thought it was strange because some people were like oh it's you know I hate the biggest
• 12:13
  issue the biggest issue that I have especially in the US is it everything becomes a partisan issue
• 12:19
  when it shouldn't become a partisan issue it's so stupid it's like between COVID and vaccines and
• 12:25
  everything is like oh if you know you're right you're left you have to have this issue you have to
• 12:29
  this is like things that affect everybody this is not a partisan issue and then it turned into a
• 12:33
  partisan issue and people yeah I'm actually literally thinking I'm gonna find I was like maybe I
• 12:38
  should have some of my democratic congresspeople that I've worked with like on the podcast just to show
• 12:43
  yeah but this is not a republican issue this is a bipartisan issue but it was Barack Obama or
• 12:51
  corresponding modern day slavery any coined modern day slavery at the Clinton Global Initiative
• 12:59
  event like anyway it's just silly it is very silly that it devolves into this but yeah so the
• 13:07
  point is you know sound of freedom was an amazing piece obviously that brings a lot of awareness to
• 13:12
  it you're doing work bringing awareness to it I want to even just unpack some of the things that
• 13:17
  that happened and that I saw and sound of freedom in some of your work that I thought were actually
• 13:22
  sort of very sad but real realities of this world I mean people know what human trafficking is
• 13:30
  people know that involves children but another thing has been brought up repeatedly and you
• 13:34
  spoken about are the are the women operatives in trafficking and how I think that probably
• 13:41
  that probably screwed with you when you realized oh you mean the female trafficker see you
• 13:46
  mean with the president not the opera sorry you know what the opera is sorry no wrong way
• 13:51
  that the trafficker the women traffickers that are doing this to children yes yeah it um it makes
• 13:59
  me sick it makes me want to like I was horrified the first time I learned that women did this I was shocked
• 14:07
  I was like how how can you do this to your like I just didn't understand I still
• 14:14
  something a child in out of you bet like you know what it must feel like as a woman
• 14:21
  to lock in better word but be forcibly penetrated like you you you must have some semblance of this as a
• 14:30
  female how can you possibly do this to your own group and I didn't and it's still incomprehensible
• 14:40
  period you I never you never gonna comprehend something that is incomprehensible
• 14:45
  you can't you you can't any horrified me and it still breaks my heart every time I see it I just
• 14:58
  well I'm assuming the women I'm assuming the women that do this are people that have gone through
• 15:03
  this system themselves they have probably been trafficked up so it's no well you know in the movie
• 15:10
  miscarter hey that was miscarter hangba this is real life so in real life in Columbia and you can
• 15:18
  google it miscarter hangya she was putting miscarter in your beauty queens literally went door to
• 15:25
  door to door to door to families and we're like oh your children are so beautiful I have a modeling
• 15:30
  school would you please give me your children and come to the modeling school then she would turn
• 15:35
  them over to the traffickers that's real that's not fictionalized that was real why money
• 15:44
  like we try to we try to go oh there must be some traumatic now not all the time sometimes it's
• 15:50
  just money sometimes we're just really bad people and there's no getting around that and there's
• 15:58
  no understanding it because it's impossible you can't understand something that's insane
• 16:03
  and it just is what it is and you just have to be like that's I guess that's it heartbreaking
