• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So first I have to take a little drink of water.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: It's quite the list.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: So why did we take eight minutes, going on nine minutes, and read a bunch of names to you who might not know many, if any, on this list?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Well, the reason why is because what we are faced with as a nation and really as a world, we're always faced with dilemmas, how we should feel, how we should think on certain, certain issues, and this particular issue should be bipartisan, meaning whether you're on the left, a democrat, whether you're on the right, republican, whether you're in the middle, whether you're a libertarian, independent, no matter where we fall at, you know we might not put ourselves, you know, politically, in a certain spot.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Bipartisanship, really and that's why we're doing this episode, is it really has blown my mind as I've done research.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: As an organization, we have to think about a lot of things and one of those things is should this information, should we as an organization, even talk about it?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: We could touch on it, we could allude to it, or we can dive into it and we're going to dive into this.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: This is one episode.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: It may turn into two because of information and because such breadth of what is going on, of what is going on.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: So what do all of those 158 United States House of Representative members represent?
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Number one, the topic, is the deportation of migrants for sex offenses.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So we're talking about rape.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: We're talking about taking photos, posting them online, of individuals that have had sex offenses either prior to coming in this country or being in the United States, and there's going to be much arguing.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You know, oh, we shouldn't be covering this as an organization.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And you talk about being an organization for all and sharing all voices.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Well, we are, and the voices we're going to be sharing and talking about are those of children, of people that are sexually abused, and, as a parent of a daughter, I find it absolutely appalling that, as we sit here at the outset of, you know, the year 2025, that we even have to think before we we vote.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, we need, we need to dig into legislation before we vote, but the deportation of migrants through sex offenses all 158 names that I just read at the outset, because some of you might might not tune in for the whole episode or may, uh you know scrub your way through halfway through the episode, and so wanted it to be crystal clear at the outset of what we're doing, what we're talking about.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: And while people are being tried to be canceled for one reason or another and those names are shared, so too are these 158 United States House of Representatives who, on the topic of deportation of migrants for sex offenses all 158 voted no.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: All 158 of these individuals voted no.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Now, not really trying to get into the left or the right, but with this research, uncovered was all 158 of these representatives are Democrats.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: So that's just a fact.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: This isn't us trying to make news, us trying to infer.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: We're not inferring when we're talking about facts and the fact that here in the United States of America we have 158 elected officials who you and I had opportunities to vote for.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Now, maybe the individuals that I read their names off, maybe those individuals may be within your state, but might not be your actual area, right?
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: So each area that we live in, so we live in the state of Ohio and so Cleveland, is broken up in different ways and have different representatives.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: So, again, the state maybe had been listed, but maybe the individuals aren't from your respective areas, but all that to say.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: The voting part is these individuals were all voted, voted into office, and all 158 of these individuals voted against whether we should deport migrants for sex offenses.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: So, basically, we're talking about people.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: You know we're not translisting People that aren't going through the legal process to become a US citizen.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: And you know, I hear as well as you may hear, well, you know, the United States is made up of immigrants and my family, my grandparents, their parents, you know, came over to the United States but they went through the legal process to become an American citizen.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: So that's just one.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: That's fact one.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Now we get into what the laws are.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Well, sex offenses, whether you're a US citizen or not, it really doesn't matter.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: If you break the law, you pay the price, whether your case not talking about you in general, but whether an individual's case goes in front of a jury of their or in front of an events trial, or whether it goes through different appeals courts.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: That's when we talk about the laws here.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: So, number one are you legal?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Are you going on the path to become a citizen?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: That's just one.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: That's just thing one, as we're talking about migrants.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, the second part is regardless whether you're an American or whether you're not, you break the law.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: You pay for your crimes.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, voices for Voices.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: We do support second chance individuals who have made mistakes and are trying to come out on the other side of that a better person, reintegrate with society.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: So, as you would have heard and seen in a previous episode where we interviewed Mr Dan Flowers, president and CEO of the Akron-Kent Regional Food Bank, we talked about actually Dan talked about it as well as I did how we can love a person but not like the action that was taken or what decision was made, and that's where we fall.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Where break the law you do the time and then coming out on the other side.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Then we can talk about reentry and ways that we can, as an organization or just as a human population, how we can help others, so we don't have to like the action.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: And so in this case, what we're talking about is sex offenses.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: So we don't like the sex offenses Breaking the law.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: We don't like that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: American, non-american, full stop.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: So when we talk about migrants, we talk about illegal or whatever terms we want to call or have been named through the news or through whoever you follow, whatever political side that you tend to follow.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: And so we're talking, right, we're talking about migrants, right, people that haven't gone through the process to become a US citizen, and we talk about whether we should deport them for these or not.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I know, for instance, for me having a daughter, that whether the individual is American or not, I would want that person, if they did the crime they need to do the time.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: It's an old cliche you do the crime to do the time.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: It's an old cliche.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: You do the crime, you do the time.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: And I sure as all ghetto, do not want an individual like that to be living near or around activities where individuals can freely roam around children, kids and, in specific, your sex offenses.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: So that's how I feel, that's how the organization as we feel, as we feel, and so that's why I took the 70 minutes at the beginning, at the top of this show, to read off those 158 individuals, right?
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: So there are 158 elected officials in the United States House of Representatives elected officials, the United States House of Representatives elected officials.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I said that, first and foremost, before I even said a Democrat, so don't misconstrue things.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, justin, he's talking what's a Democrat?
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: And so we can flip this thing around.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: We can flip this thing around.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I talked about United States House of Representatives elected members before I even said that they were all Democrats.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: So that has happened in the United States.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: That vote did take place While there were 51 Democrats who sided and said, hey, this is probably a good idea, that we should deport migrants for sex offenses, and we highlighted again the 158.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: So we want to talk about numbers.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Well, 158 is that number?
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: And so how the hell does this tie in to david and amanda solomon?
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, we, we interviewed them last year and we're going to be bringing them back here in 2025, here in 2025, see how they're doing.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: And, as I mentioned, the state of California was decreasing, meaning lowering, so particular trafficking crimes were and now are, instead of them being felonies, which is a higher level offense, which could gain an individual more jail time, higher fines and decreases that to a misdemeanor.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: So that was something that was near and dear to David when he was talking about what he went through, and so we're not releasing any information of where their whereabouts are, for security reasons.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Where their whereabouts are for security reasons and whatever state that they reside in, the fact that that's even happening again, the fact that United States of America has a state that is willing to just drop from felony to misdemeanor.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I asked these 158 United States House of Representatives that voted against deporting people with sex offenses or in the case of reducing crime level from felony to misdemeanor.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I wanna ask those individuals, ask those representatives well, go ahead then.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Why don't you move in next door, have these individuals as your neighbors, live with them, interact with them?
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Don't have your private security or your secret service detail?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Uh, be like the rest of us where we don't, we don't have those.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Not a lot of people have the money, the funds to be able to, the money, the funds to be able to pay, you know, security services to watch over us 24 hours a day, to scout out sites before we we go for go shopping, before we go eat dinner, lunch or breakfast, or we're just traveling around town and have roads, uh, you know, shut down and having police escorts and those.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: So why don't we have those, those individuals, the ones that we listed and the ones that, unfortunately, as we move forward, are going to continue to fight these things and say, oh no, we shouldn't deport these individuals?
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Ocasio-cortez, Ilhan Omar, these outspoken individuals, house representatives, have them take their security away, their private security, that are carrying weapons.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: They're, you know, doing background checks, they're doing all kinds of things before an individual even meets those individuals.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Uh, and there's a shrewd of secrecy, uh, the whereabouts, the movements that are that are watched and and you know individuals that you know, past military, maybe former Secret Service agents, what have you.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: But they're trained in keeping the asset which is an individual, in this case keeping them safe, and so they're going to do what they need to do to make that happen.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: So let's do that.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: If members of whether it's the Senate or the House of Representatives, or just anybody that feels that way, or just anybody that feels that way, well, go ahead, Move in in these areas, live with these individuals and turn in for a better term.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: You know, leave a job, so you leave your badge, your computer, all that.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Leave your security at the door, check your ego at the door, leave the security at the door, and then let's maybe think about doing a vote.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Give you a few years around individuals and and see how that really, that really plays out, and you just might think a little bit different at that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: That point, because when individuals are shrouded around with security, they're able to act a little bit like well, I can vote like this, I can say these things because I'm going to be secure because of my protective detail around me.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: The most of us Americans or individuals around the world, we're not able to have that luxury, and so that's why we talk about this for this particular episode and where we're at time-wise, it really flew, especially taking some time to share the names, because the names are important.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: We want to share the names of individuals so they can be held accountable, they can be promoted for what an action that they did, and we're going to have to go ahead and cut it here and then we're going to come back with our next episode and continue the conversation.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: So, until our next episode, thank you for joining us this episode of the Voices for Voices TV show and podcast.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I am host, founder and executive director of Voices for Voices, justin Allen Hayes, and please be a voice for you or somebody in need.
