• 1:00
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: First, before we uh turn the floor over to him, just wanted to give again, um, we've been giving a lot of shout outs to Senator Ted Cruz for multiple reasons.
• 1:14
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We're not going to get into every single reason.
• 1:17
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh, he is the 2025 Voices for Voices, Voice of the Year.
• 1:23
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh, you can check out that episode, episode 316, where we were able to sit down, have a conversation with Senator Cruz and present that award to him.
• 1:34
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: The one thing that you may or may not know is uh Senator Cruz is a constitutional attorney.
• 1:46
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So uh that's his specialty.
• 1:48
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh and we know, uh and if we don't know, uh we're making it apparent that part of the Constitution in the United States of America for U.S.
• 2:00
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: citizens is the First Amendment, and that is the freedom of speech.
• 2:04
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So, Senator Ted Cruz, we want to give a shout out to you.
• 2:08
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Thank you for all you have and continue to do.
• 2:11
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And uh we we we support uh if uh if you decide to um make a run at the presidency, uh, or if uh uh well we'll just leave it there.
• 2:26
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So thank you, Senator Ted Cruz, and the First Amendment I bring up because that's what we're gonna be talking about on this particular episode, where freedom of speech, where us as a show, as uh uh citizens of the United States, we are protected by the great constitution that I just referred to.
• 2:51
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And uh and so we're gonna now turn the floor over after uh saying thank you to Senator Ted Cruz.
• 3:02
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We're gonna turn the floor over to our guest, uh David Solomon.
• 3:07
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So take it away, David.
• 3:10
  David Solomon: Appreciate you.
• 3:12
  David Solomon: Um so we have a lot of controversy on one of our guests that we had on Catherine uh Catherine Davi, yes.
• 3:25
  David Solomon: And the the thing I have to say is um we we support victims, we support people that have a story to tell, and clearly she has a story to tell.
• 3:40
  David Solomon: And clearly people are not liking it.
• 3:43
  David Solomon: Um, and so there's a reason people are not liking it.
• 3:47
  David Solomon: And when I came on the show uh long ago, there was kind of that same pushback for a while.
• 3:57
  David Solomon: Um, I'm one that likes to get to the bottom of the things to see who's telling the truth and who isn't.
• 4:05
  David Solomon: We have all sorts of people on this show.
• 4:08
  David Solomon: Uh we're not here to judge, we're here to give them a platform to tell their story, and that's what this is.
• 4:15
  David Solomon: Um it is a little ugly the comments right now, but I I think that will tame down once the truth comes out.
• 4:25
  David Solomon: And and that will happen.
• 4:28
  David Solomon: Um It's sad that all these comments like so much hate for someone that just told their story.
• 4:41
  David Solomon: I've only seen that with myself.
• 4:45
  David Solomon: I haven't actually seen that with another victim that's gotten so much hate, so much controversy.
• 4:52
  David Solomon: Um voices for voices protects the victims by letting their voice be heard.
• 5:02
  David Solomon: And right now, Catherine's voice was heard, and people did not like it because she presented some evidence.
• 5:12
  David Solomon: Now, some people are saying that's false, some people are saying it's not, and that is that is up for law enforcement to decide.
• 5:25
  David Solomon: We present evidence here, and you the viewers and and the people watching or listening to make your decision.
• 5:38
  David Solomon: And I think this situation is unique that way, where we just don't know what's going on.
• 5:51
  David Solomon: Um there was so much controversy last night over an episode that we prerecorded yesterday, and uh it just blows my mind, it blows my mind how much controversy we're getting over this.
• 6:19
  David Solomon: I just don't understand it.
• 6:24
  David Solomon: Um so for victims out there, you know, when you speak out, you know, you're gonna get controversy on it.
• 6:37
  David Solomon: We're not here for controversy, we're not here to create debates, we're here to let people have a voice on our platform, and I will defend that to the end.
• 6:48
  David Solomon: I want to point out some similarities with how Catherine is getting bullied, and then how I was bullied without taking sides on this debate.
• 7:02
  David Solomon: So when I came on, I was called a liar, hated, so much hate.
• 7:12
  David Solomon: Those are false, all of that, and within twenty-four hours, that's what happened here.
• 7:23
  David Solomon: And it's concerning.
• 7:29
  David Solomon: It's very concerning.
• 7:36
  David Solomon: So I'll keep it short on R today, but I just wanted to take this time to say voices for voices is not a place for vengeance, anger, or to have a vendetta.
• 7:51
  David Solomon: It's a place to have a voice, and our platform is a place where we can make a change in the world and make the world a better place.
• 8:02
  David Solomon: And to the people that are victimizing, you should not victimize people, and to the victims that are telling their story, well, we're trying to create a platform so that you have a place to tell your story and can be heard.
• 8:18
  David Solomon: Um Catherine's uh sister, uh who I'm not gonna say the name of, uh contacted me.
• 8:32
  David Solomon: Um I've never seen anything quite like this, except when I was hated on for coming out as a survivor.
• 8:45
  David Solomon: And so that that's what I'm gonna say right now.
• 8:49
  David Solomon: Um that's what I'm gonna say.
• 8:54
  David Solomon: I think voices for voices is a place where people can come together and listen and grow as a community and as people.
• 9:14
  David Solomon: Uh Justin, anything to add?
• 9:21
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: No, that's a that's exactly right.
• 9:23
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh we are a platform for people to share their voice and uh all of our voices may be a little bit different.
• 9:35
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh and so the whole judgment piece is uh coming from all different angles.
• 9:45
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We saw it even on a uh a TikTok live last night where uh boy did we saw so much hate.
• 9:57
  David Solomon: Ooh.
• 9:59
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Yeah.
• 10:00
  David Solomon: So again, you know, there's always gonna be controversy on anything.
• 10:08
  David Solomon: And I say this again, let us not be the the the people that killed Charlie Kirk, let us be the change and not wish hate on anyone or death.
• 10:19
  David Solomon: Let's stop with this.
• 10:20
  David Solomon: Let the people have their voice and let the truth come out.
• 10:25
  David Solomon: And the truth is going to come out and and that will happen.
• 10:31
  David Solomon: But the the people who uh who victims are saying victimize them are the ones that are getting hated and going, Oh, you can't do that, you can't talk about that.
• 10:45
  David Solomon: I'm not trying to name names, but you should have not done it to that person.
• 10:50
  David Solomon: And that's not just Miss Catherine, that's other people uh that are victims as well.
• 10:58
  David Solomon: So there's there's a lot to cover here and there's a lot of hate and we really don't know um we really don't know what's going on and and that's how it is.
• 11:20
  David Solomon: So so we have guests on all the time on our podcast and um and they tell their voices and mythical creatures around the world is for voices in different countries, and it's to spread that light and that love and to bring life to countries, even dictatorships like North Korea, Russia, China, um, to name a few, Afghanistan, Sudan.
• 11:50
  David Solomon: These countries need hope too.
• 11:53
  David Solomon: So that's what we're here to do, and we're not gonna stop.
• 11:59
  David Solomon: Um there's always gonna be controversy.
• 12:02
  David Solomon: Someone's always gonna disagree with somebody else, and somebody's always gonna say you're wrong, you're right.
• 12:09
  David Solomon: That is not what we're here to do.
• 12:11
  David Solomon: We're here to give voices for victims a platform.
• 12:15
  David Solomon: And I cannot stress that enough as someone who was a victim and is now a survivor.
• 12:21
  David Solomon: So I thank you for your time and your effort and your energy in in this matter and your delicacy in handling these issues.
• 12:33
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Yeah, thank you, David, for for that.
• 12:36
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And uh we echo echo uh what David has shared, what he has spoken about, uh, and we just want to say uh whether you're a believer or not, uh, that God bless you in the United States, God bless you across the world, and we have nothing but love for you as individuals.
• 13:00
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We know that none of us are sinless, whether we think we are or not, uh, that's not the case.
• 13:08
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Nobody is.
• 13:09
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh Jesus Christ is sinless, and I think that's the big thing that we all make mistakes, and so we learn from them, and we're uh we're we're we're not immune to that uh as human beings.
• 13:26
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We all make mistakes, uh, but not repenting, uh showing hate at every turn is not the way to go about things.
• 13:38
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And I'll say this, like I've said many times, that if you don't like the show, you don't like the guests, you don't like the content, there's thousands of other shows and podcasts out there.
• 13:52
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So just turn the channel, turn, find something that you you do uh you do associate with and it doesn't bother you.
• 14:02
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And lastly, if you're one of these individuals who somewhere along the way took advantage of a survivor, uh you know, shame on you for doing that, and because it may be exposed, that's not on us as a platform.
• 14:27
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We do have that First Amendment, as I mentioned, uh, that does cover us.
• 14:32
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh we uh we don't wish hate on anybody, we're sharing information.
• 14:38
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And uh from us, we're seeing a lot of information, a lot of evidence uh on certain individuals from certain individuals.
• 14:50
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so just as a common sense human being, when we see that evidence, it's really uh it's again, uh, as David mentioned, it's up to law enforcement to make those decisions.
• 15:04
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So uh whether it's admissible and uh all the different things that go on, uh we're we're not part of law enforcement, so we're not gonna make those judgments.
• 15:16
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But if somebody has evidence and they're bringing it, which we have had a guest, uh Miss Catherine is is one of them who's brought a lot of evidence um and has received a lot of hate uh for just standing up for herself.
• 15:34
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And we are we're gonna continue to stand up for the voices of everybody, whether they're here in the United States, whether they are a victim, a survivor of uh some uh awful activities, uh, and whether they live in a country that politically, that David mentioned, like China and North Korea and Sudan and and others and Russia, uh, that we we look at that as culture and and human beings.
• 16:11
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We don't look at that as politics, which uh sometimes is tough to think about because you know our mainstream media kind of kind of feeds us, you know, that that narrative.
• 16:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so with mythical creatures around the world, with voices for voices, um we've joined forces and we are here to help people, we're here to give individuals a voice where they may not have had one, uh, a voice that they may be sharing of somebody that they know uh that may be going through some type of uh some some type of uh I guess experiences, events, and they're unable to share that.
• 17:05
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: That's what we're here for.
• 17:06
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And frankly, that's why this episode is number 377.
• 17:12
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: The odds are against us as we got started.
• 17:16
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Very few podcasts and shows make it past episode 100 or 200 or 300, and we're gonna be hitting 400.
• 17:26
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So we know that there's so much love and support for us, uh, and we we echo that back to you.
• 17:33
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh we have nothing but love for every single person, uh, whether they're our enemies, whether they've hurt us.
• 17:41
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh, we we just want to be that platform, and we are, uh, and given by how many episodes and who's watching and who's listening is really remarkable and it blows my mind every every time I'm reminded of that.
