And eighty four percent of Americans want the same America.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
But anybody who follows this process closely knows that we
don't have the votes.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
He tried your best and you failed miserably. The legend
is never tried.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
The proof that you mailed your ballot on or just
before election day. It's not just the postmark.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
You can handwrite the date, wow, and that count. This
is this horrible thing to say that they will remove
twenty five million people off the.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Roll shall signal Storm podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know, I was having a conversation with Ashley Brassfield
you'll be hearing in an interview here on the Soalceato
Storm podcast in the coming coming days. We were discussing
this ongoing controversy over at the WNBA and I don't know, folks,
I am seeing unforced air after unforced air after unforced error.
I know it's different sport, but allow me to mix
(01:32):
my sports metaphor as if I can to make to
make an observation. Nobody's as stupid. I'm sorry. You can't
run a league as albeit unsuccessful as the WNBA that
relies primarily on the NBA to fund it. You can't
run a league like this and be this colossally stupid.
(01:54):
I know we talked about how in this last week
the WNBA gathered to try to determine what a woman is.
The Women's National Basketball Association had to have a meeting
and they called in all sorts of experts to determine
what a woman is. And I know the women's league
(02:15):
has no idea what a woman is. And we joked
on radio and I think I think we played it
here on the Salcedo Storm podcast. We had secret cameras
and secret microphones there to listen to the in depth
testimony to help explain to the Women's National Basketball Association
what a woman is. And here's one of their experts. Folks, listen,
(02:37):
boys have a penis. Girls half of that China.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Thanks for the tip.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's from Kindergarten cop, as you all know, and it's
it's it was funny to make because the assumption is
that they're that the WNBA is so damn woke that
they have lost all semblance, all claim to sanity, all
claim to being rational or even having a modicum of
(03:08):
common sense. But they keep on stepping in it. They
keep on stepping into the big doodoo. And the latest
came when the Indiana Fever visited the Atlanta Dream this
last Sunday. It was a thrilling game, we're told. I
(03:29):
don't know because I don't watch the WNBA. Hell, I
don't even watch the NBA. It was a thrilling game
between the two NBA teams, WNBA teams, most exciting teams.
But what happened to a mother and a daughter in
the stands just feet away from the court was the
biggest story of the night. Now, remember kids that the WNBA.
(03:51):
The only reason why anybody ever is mentioning it and
has ever paid attention to it is because of the controversy.
And this is why I'm thinking they're doing it to
generate buzz around their league. Now, I don't know that
the flagrant, racist driven fouls against some of the talented
(04:12):
white players in the WNBA are for the clicks and
for the notoriety. I don't know, But what's going on
in the league offices. It's really making me start to question.
Georgia locals Case Thomason and her daughter Annie. They bought
tickets just two rows back from courtside. They each wore
(04:36):
an xx X Y Athletics t shirt to support Sophie
Cunningham and the ongoing fight to keep women's sports and
spaces female. Casey wore an xxxy shirt with the letters
and stars and stripes, while Annie wore a Riley Gaines
collaborative piece with XX on the front and for the
(04:58):
girls on the back. They were able to wear their
shirts with no hassle or issue until overtime, when a
security guard approached them. Wait a minute, So they went
the entire game two rows back from courtside. Nobody said
the word booth and they went into overtime. About halfway
(05:20):
through the five minute period overtime period, security guard tried
to get Casey and any to leave their seats to
talk to him. They were unsure why they were specifically
being targeted that moment, so Casey asked him, is it
about our shirts? Then things took an insane turn. Security
guard told them, by the way, those this is a
(05:43):
ride up from the Carl Rove never Trump network. The
security guard told them that a fan or fans were
offended by their shirts, so they had a choice to
wear the provided Atlanta Dream Wellness and Health Night shirts
or they would be escorted out of the building. So
there's a lot going on here. First off, somebody complains
(06:06):
they don't like your free speech. Well, how do I
put this in the most delicate way possible? Tough shit.
If you don't like me saying something that's on you
go blank yourself. I don't care. I don't like your shirt.
I don't care. I have a First Amendment right in
(06:26):
the United States to say these things or to wear
the shirt that I want. Now, you have a First
Amendment right to be offended. Right, go be offended. You
can be offended all you want. Don't really care. Now
the mom and daughter had a response. Casey responded by
saying biology and science is offensive, before reluctantly agreeing to
(06:48):
put the shirts on so they didn't miss the last
two minutes of overtime, where the Indiana Fever eventually secured
a ninety five to ninety one victory. So they were
forced to put on the Wellness and Health Night shirts.
And that was the second point the Casey helped me
put into perspective. The idea that basic, proven, confirmed science
(07:14):
is offensive means we can't display science because the reality,
the hard, concrete science of XX chromosome makes female, X
Y chromosome makes male, because that hard fast scientific reality
can't be accepted by woke dumb shits' and that means
(07:38):
that we have to cover up science. It's like, folks,
do you see where this leads? Oh? What if? What
if some liberal nutjob decides to politicize some left wing
communist nutjob decides to politicize one plus one is two.
I'm I'm outraged. I'm sorry, You're going to have to
cover up simple mathematics. Is that where it's headed? If
(08:02):
we continue to cater to woke That's where it's headed.
More to come in the Salsado Storm podcast, and now
a word from my sponsor. My friends, did Bidenomics in
the left wing economy really rock your world? Let American
medical plans relieve one burden health insurance. American Medical Plan
specializes in under sixty five health insurance plans that have
zero copays and no deductibles. You choose your doctors, you
(08:25):
choose your hospitals. These plans have nothing to do with
your income and are thirty to sixty percent less than Obamacare.
If Obamacare has your paying out the nose, call American
medical plans. Don't let these Marxists destroy one sixth to
the US economy and your access to healthcare without a fight.
You deserve better. You deserve American medical plans, the answer
(08:46):
to the cancer that is Obamacare.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Tired of cable news lying to you, It's time the
establishment media went the way of the dinosaurs and for
free digital journalism to rise. At texas Scorecard, we bring
you real news for real Texans with no paywalls. Ever,
go to texascorecard dot com today.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Let me open up something else For those of you
who have not been following this program for any length
of time. You know that we have been incredibly disgusted
by the American government actually partaking in the human trafficking
of children into the United States. The federal government took
our money and basically turned us all into glorified pimps.
(12:11):
And I'll play an ad that we created talking about
this policy that was implemented by Democrats but fully funded
by Republicans like John Cornyn and others. Let me bring
in our guest to actually go over a lot of
this stuff. Ali Hopper is a president and co founder
of Guard Against Trafficking and is internationally recognized for her
(12:33):
work combating human trafficking. She works alongside law enforcement, government
agency's attorneys, and policymakers to protect children from exploitation, strength
and criminal intelligence, and inform public policy. Ali, it's great
to meet you. Thanks for being here.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Thank you so much for having me. Chris, it's great
to be here you.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I don't normally start off an interview like this, but
I think your work is so danged important. I want
to begin with your fundraising efforts. You're trying to raise
what is it, eight hundred dollars? What are you trying
to raise that for?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah, specifically sixty eight hundred dollars, and that is earmarked
for a very new messaging campaign right now. What we've
noticed is that there's been silos of information, and I
mean it's not new to I'm sure your audience or
you that we get siloed and we start hearing, you know,
a massive amount of information, but our neighbors, our friends
(13:25):
are not hearing the same things. And so whether they're
on acts, whether they're on social media, we need to
break through those silos and start to get information out
to people that are unaware of the issue. There are
so many people that are unaware of the issue of
human trafficking, and this fundraising effort is specifically for trying
to break through those silos and getting messages to people
(13:47):
that are not hearing them and they're not on social media.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Well, I wasn't planning on going here, but I actually
have some stories coming up about how the biased press ABCNBCCBS,
fake news, CNN, MSN, MSNBS, they'll always be MSNBS.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
To me.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That they have not been reporting on any of this.
And look, we have been on nearly five hundred thousand
illegal alien children who were delivered into sex slavery by
our own government. And the way I look at it
is all corporate interests who run these fake news operations.
They don't care, and all the reporters they don't care.
They're just brown kids, right, They're just just a bunch
(14:26):
of brown kids from all over the world. If they're
getting sexually exploited, what do left wingers care? Democrats don't
care about the sexual exploitation or forced labor of children,
thus they won't report on it because it gets in
the way of their illegal immigration agenda.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Fair, yeah, fair. I mean everyone saw the headline of
that little boy standing outside one of the law enforcement vehicles.
I believe he was wearing a blue hat. And you're Hispanic.
I'm Hispanic as someone that is Hispanic, and someone that
has testified to this issue on Capitol Hill numerous times,
twice in front Congress, once in front of Senate. My
business partner is testified in front of Congress as well.
(15:05):
And you know it's funny is that it's been six
times in about three years. And unless your doctor fauci,
normally an individual doesn't go on up on Capitol Hill
and testify that many times. But the issue is persistent.
If we as the American people, don't realize that our
taxpayer dollars are used to fund these programs of which
(15:26):
the cartel are very much aware of. They are using
our hard earned taxpayer dollars to fund their operations and
get these children to where they end up in sex slavery,
they end up in in labor situations, labor trafficking. That
is what the American people need to realize. And to
your point, the media is not reporting on it. In
(15:47):
the hearings, the Democrats barely wanted to talk about it.
They want They kept bringing up in the July twenty
twenty five hearing the Epstein Epstein List, Epstein List, and
I just wanted to shake them and say, you seem
to care so much about the Epstein list in sex trafficking,
but you refuse to talk about the over three hundred
thousand missing, unaccounted for, and exploited children. And then you
(16:08):
get Javier Bressera running for a governor, like I feel
like I'm in a twilight zone.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I know, you know it's crazy. I'm with you, and
you know, let's describe the scope of the problem. Because
when I talk to even conservatives about this, a lot
of them believe, hey, President Trump's got this, you know,
and we'll get to some of the stats in a minute.
But it isn't. And some even say this has been
the case for a long time. I mean, there may
(16:34):
be some sexual exploitation here and there, but it's not
as bad as you're saying, Salsato. It is. It is
not only bad, it has gotten worse as Democrats have
gotten more political clout, as Democrats have taken over the
deep state. It has gotten far worse, has it not.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I would say it's gotten worse because we haven't talked
about it, and we haven't talked about it in a
meaningful way. And guard against trafficking, we don't just educate
parents and communities. We educate law enforcement, all levels of
law enforcement, local, state, federal. We've had anywhere from road
patrol in our trainings all the way up to seasoned
(17:14):
sex crimes detectives, and when they leave that training, they
have come up to us every time and said, Wow,
I learned something I didn't realize XYZ about this. And
so when you bring in an organization that is boots
on the ground, that is interviewed incarcerated traffickers and gets
a criminal profile and takes a forensic psychological approach to
(17:36):
combating this crime. That's how you start to get law
enforcement on the cutting edge. That's how you start to
get federal partners like HSI being able to be equipped
and armed and understanding the difference is between prostitution and
sex trafficking. It's tough, but they need to understand it.
Prosecutors need to understand when they're prosecuting the crimes, and
(17:56):
so we need to take this one step further. We
are done with the introductory awareness phase. We need people
to wake up, get educated, and then get activated because
right now our children and their innocence and their future
is as at stake.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Chris, Yes, and remember, folks, you are being made unwilling
participants in the sexual exploitation of children. You are being
forced by your government to fund sex trafficking and human trafficking,
and I think that would anger some of you. I
don't know. We're talking to Ali Hopper, she's the president
(18:33):
and co founder of Guard Against Trafficking. So I'm going
to play an ad that we created because we have
an attorney general who is running for Senate in the
state of Texas who wants to stop all of this.
Of course, the Democrat Socialist, the Marxist who's running is
not only one of these guys who loves quote trans kids,
loves them. He has condemned in no way the Democrat
(18:57):
Party's participation in fully funding of in the policies that
lead to government sponsored human trafficking. Listen to the ad
and I want to get your reaction. Just how sick
and sad or deviant Democrats under Beijing Biden and President
Auto Pen the Democrats turned our government into glorified pimps,
delivering nearly five hundred thousand illegal alien children into sex, slavery,
(19:21):
and forced labor into the United States.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I discovered that children are being trafficked through a sophisticated
network that begins with recruiting and home country smuggling to
the US border and ends when oarr delivers a child
to a sponsor. Some sponsors are criminals and traffickers and
members of transnational criminal organizations. Some sponsors view children as
(19:47):
commodities and assets to be used for earning income. That
the United States government has become the middleman in a
large scale, multi billion dollar child trafficking operation.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
And what did the Democrat Party and their standard bearer
in Texas say about all of this absolutely nothing. You
won't find James Tallerico condemning deviant Democrats and their attacks
on children. When you go to vote this fall, let
your conscience be your guide. Vote for the man with
a proven history of defending the children of Texas. Vote Conservative,
(20:23):
Ken Paxton. So that was the ad, And I'll add
one more thing to this alley that, just to be fair,
the Democrats' policies of sexually exploiting children, turning our government
into pimps, was fully funded by quote unquote Republicans like
John Cornyan, Mitch McConnell, and the and their ilk who
(20:43):
voted every step of the way not to defund that
cancerous and abusive policy, but they gave all of our
tax payer dollars to the effort. It is a betrayal
by the entirety of government, is it not?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
It absolutely is, And I just that voice is so familiar,
Tera wrote us. She is a whistleblower, and I just
commend her bravery for coming out, for standing up, for
speaking out for the men, women and children that have
been exploited by this program and by those people. And
it's extremely important that we don't let this issue die.
(21:21):
This issue, unfortunately, was a stain on American history. There
were so many people that were harmed, not just illegal aliens,
but American families, American children, American parents that were harmed
by the illegals, the criminal illegals that came into their
country and hurt and stole the innocence and murdered people.
(21:44):
So it's a stain on American history. But what we
do with it is that we never forget when we
go to the when we go to the ballot box,
we need to vote in the people that are willing
to speak up, stand up, and vote against these types
of policies. Vote for policies that secure our borders and
that protect our citizens and that stop this from happening.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yes, and not to mention innocent illegal alien children who
who were thrust into this through no fault of their own.
And as mentioned, depending on what source you read, it's
upward of five hundred thousand little shy of five hundred
thousand illegal alien children who've been lost. According to reports,
(22:30):
about one hundred and fifty thousand of them have been
found by the Trump administration, and many are saying, wow,
that's not a great number. We want to see them
all discovered and rescued from what I would classify as
hell on Earth. What, in your estimation, what more needs
to be done by our government. We've already covered the
fact that our people need to be made aware of
(22:52):
what's going on. What policy could could really turn this around,
rescue those kids and prevent children from being trafficked in
the future.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I am so proud to be from the home state
of Florida. And why I mention that is because if
you're not familiar of Operation Home for the Holidays, it's
a perfect example of how to help this administration find
these kids. You need local and state agencies working with
federal agencies to find these kids. And again, it's not
just illegal alien children, it's also domestic children that have
(23:24):
fallen victim into these same pathways of exploitation and the
same clientele, the same trafficking rings. And so if we're
able to work together local, state, federal authorities, that is
going to help this administration. They are they haven't even
gotten in all of the all of the appointments that
(23:44):
they need to fully operate. They're ruling by executive order
because we have a do nothing Congress that do nothing
Senate because they can't agree on anything, even the Save
America Act. And so we need to step up as
citizens Americans and push our local and state authorities to
partner with federal authorities to find these kids, to arrest
(24:08):
these criminals, and to deport the every single criminal illegal alien.
And when I say criminal, anyone that crosses in not
through a legal channel, yes, falls into that.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
And I think everybody should know and recognize that no
Democrat has come out and condemned the illegal alien children
who they and their policies in the last regime delivered
into sex, slavery and hell on Earth. And frankly, no
Republican is calling these Democrats out. Somehow Democrats get to
(24:46):
run on a run for office and they all support
trafficking children for sexual exploitation. It's the damnedest thing I've
ever seen. If folks want to help guard against Trafficking
ali work, they.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Go thank you so much for mentioning that Guard Against
Trafficking dot org. We have all of our information on
our site. We are on most social media platforms, and
if you feel inclined to donate, please do because it
is the lifeblood of our organization. We are a five
oh one C three, So it is tax deductible, and
every single penny of that goes back to this mission.
(25:21):
Every single one of our team members is dedicated and
motivated to stopping this crime at the source. And we
just really appreciate you having us on.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Ali Hopper, president and co founder of Guard Against Trafficking
that's Guard against Trafficking dot org. Did I get it right?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
All right, Thank you very much, Ali Hopper. You're doing
God's work and keep us posted, will you.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I will thank you, No, thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Those who are out there defending the innocent against bad actors,
they deserve our support in any manner we could give it, folks,
So if you can help them out, if you can.
That's going to wrap up this Salsado Storm podcast. A
couple of things to remember folks until we visit again. First,
pick up the new book The Rise of the Liberty
(26:06):
Loving Latino, A New American Revolution. This book details how
millions of liberty loving Latinos join the fight to keep
America America. And not only does it detail how it
all happened, it will detail for us how we continue
the winning, how we keep the America First Coalition keeping
America on the right track toward restoring liberty, freedom, and
(26:29):
prosperity to our blessed land. And remember this until we
visit again, my friends. A society's worth is not measured
by how much powers stolen by government. A society's worth
is measured by how much power is reserved for you
and me, we the people. You keep fighting to save
your country, my friends, because it's worth it.
And eighty four percent of Americans want the same America.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
But anybody who follows this process closely knows that we
don't have the votes.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
He tried your best and you failed miserably. The legend
is never tried.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
The proof that you mailed your ballot on or just
before election day. It's not just the postmark.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
You can handwrite the date, wow, and that count. This
is this horrible thing to say that they will remove
twenty five million people off the.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Roll shall signal Storm podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know, I was having a conversation with Ashley Brassfield
you'll be hearing in an interview here on the Soalceato
Storm podcast in the coming coming days. We were discussing
this ongoing controversy over at the WNBA and I don't know, folks,
I am seeing unforced air after unforced air after unforced error.
I know it's different sport, but allow me to mix
(01:32):
my sports metaphor as if I can to make to

(02:37):
boys have a penis. Girls half of that China.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Thanks for the tip.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's from Kindergarten cop, as you all know, and it's
it's it was funny to make because the assumption is
that they're that the WNBA is so damn woke that
they have lost all semblance, all claim to sanity, all
claim to being rational or even having a modicum of
(03:08):
common sense. But they keep on stepping in it. They
keep on stepping into the big doodoo. And the latest
came when the Indiana Fever visited the Atlanta Dream this
last Sunday. It was a thrilling game, we're told. I
(03:29):
don't know because I don't watch the WNBA. Hell, I
don't even watch the NBA. It was a thrilling game
between the two NBA teams, WNBA teams, most exciting teams.
But what happened to a mother and a daughter in
the stands just feet away from the court was the
biggest story of the night. Now, remember kids that the WNBA.
(03:51):
The only reason why anybody ever is mentioning it and
has ever paid attention to it is because of the controversy.
And this is why I'm thinking they're doing it to
generate buzz around their league. Now, I don't know that
the flagrant, racist driven fouls against some of the talented
(04:12):
white players in the WNBA are for the clicks and
for the notoriety. I don't know, But what's going on
in the league offices. It's really making me start to question.
Georgia locals Case Thomason and her daughter Annie. They bought
tickets just two rows back from courtside. They each wore
(04:36):
an xx X Y Athletics t shirt to support Sophie
Cunningham and the ongoing fight to keep women's sports and
spaces female. Casey wore an xxxy shirt with the letters
and stars and stripes, while Annie wore a Riley Gaines
collaborative piece with XX on the front and for the
(04:58):
girls on the back. They were able to wear their
shirts with no hassle or issue until overtime, when a
security guard approached them. Wait a minute, So they went
the entire game two rows back from courtside. Nobody said
the word booth and they went into overtime. About halfway
(05:20):
through the five minute period overtime period, security guard tried
to get Casey and any to leave their seats to
talk to him. They were unsure why they were specifically
being targeted that moment, so Casey asked him, is it
about our shirts? Then things took an insane turn. Security
guard told them, by the way, those this is a
(05:43):
ride up from the Carl Rove never Trump network. The
security guard told them that a fan or fans were
offended by their shirts, so they had a choice to
wear the provided Atlanta Dream Wellness and Health Night shirts
or they would be escorted out of the building. So
there's a lot going on here. First off, somebody complains
(06:06):
they don't like your free speech. Well, how do I
put this in the most delicate way possible? Tough shit.
If you don't like me saying something that's on you
go blank yourself. I don't care. I don't like your shirt.
I don't care. I have a First Amendment right in
(06:26):
the United States to say these things or to wear
the shirt that I want. Now, you have a First
Amendment right to be offended. Right, go be offended. You
can be offended all you want. Don't really care. Now
the mom and daughter had a response. Casey responded by
saying biology and science is offensive, before reluctantly agreeing to
(06:48):
put the shirts on so they didn't miss the last
two minutes of overtime, where the Indiana Fever eventually secured
a ninety five to ninety one victory. So they were
forced to put on the Wellness and Health Night shirts.
And that was the second point the Casey helped me
put into perspective. The idea that basic, proven, confirmed science
(07:14):
is offensive means we can't display science because the reality,
the hard, concrete science of XX chromosome makes female, X
Y chromosome makes male, because that hard fast scientific reality
can't be accepted by woke dumb shits' and that means
(07:38):
that we have to cover up science. It's like, folks,
do you see where this leads? Oh? What if? What
if some liberal nutjob decides to politicize some left wing
communist nutjob decides to politicize one plus one is two.
I'm I'm outraged. I'm sorry, You're going to have to
cover up simple mathematics. Is that where it's headed? If
(08:02):
we continue to cater to woke That's where it's headed.
More to come in the Salsado Storm podcast, and now
a word from my sponsor. My friends, did Bidenomics in
the left wing economy really rock your world? Let American
medical plans relieve one burden health insurance. American Medical Plan
specializes in under sixty five health insurance plans that have
zero copays and no deductibles. You choose your doctors, you
(08:25):
choose your hospitals. These plans have nothing to do with
your income and are thirty to sixty percent less than Obamacare.
If Obamacare has your paying out the nose, call American
medical plans. Don't let these Marxists destroy one sixth to
the US economy and your access to healthcare without a fight.
You deserve better. You deserve American medical plans, the answer
(08:46):
to the cancer that is Obamacare.

Tired of cable news lying to you, It's time the
establishment media went the way of the dinosaurs and for
free digital journalism to rise. At texas Scorecard, we bring
you real news for real Texans with no paywalls. Ever,
go to texascorecard dot com today.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Let me open up something else For those of you
who have not been following this program for any length
of time. You know that we have been incredibly disgusted
by the American government actually partaking in the human trafficking
of children into the United States. The federal government took
our money and basically turned us all into glorified pimps.
(12:11):
And I'll play an ad that we created talking about
this policy that was implemented by Democrats but fully funded
by Republicans like John Cornyn and others. Let me bring
in our guest to actually go over a lot of
this stuff. Ali Hopper is a president and co founder
of Guard Against Trafficking and is internationally recognized for her
(12:33):
work combating human trafficking. She works alongside law enforcement, government
agency's attorneys, and policymakers to protect children from exploitation, strength
and criminal intelligence, and inform public policy. Ali, it's great
to meet you. Thanks for being here.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Thank you so much for having me. Chris, it's great
to be here you.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I don't normally start off an interview like this, but
I think your work is so danged important. I want
to begin with your fundraising efforts. You're trying to raise
what is it, eight hundred dollars? What are you trying
to raise that for?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah, specifically sixty eight hundred dollars, and that is earmarked
for a very new messaging campaign right now. What we've
noticed is that there's been silos of information, and I
mean it's not new to I'm sure your audience or
you that we get siloed and we start hearing, you know,
a massive amount of information, but our neighbors, our friends
(13:25):
are not hearing the same things. And so whether they're
on acts, whether they're on social media, we need to
break through those silos and start to get information out
to people that are unaware of the issue. There are
so many people that are unaware of the issue of
human trafficking, and this fundraising effort is specifically for trying
to break through those silos and getting messages to people
(13:47):
that are not hearing them and they're not on social media.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Well, I wasn't planning on going here, but I actually
have some stories coming up about how the biased press ABCNBCCBS,
fake news, CNN, MSN, MSNBS, they'll always be MSNBS.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
To me.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That they have not been reporting on any of this.
And look, we have been on nearly five hundred thousand
illegal alien children who were delivered into sex slavery by
our own government. And the way I look at it
is all corporate interests who run these fake news operations.
They don't care, and all the reporters they don't care.
They're just brown kids, right, They're just just a bunch
(14:26):
of brown kids from all over the world. If they're
getting sexually exploited, what do left wingers care? Democrats don't
care about the sexual exploitation or forced labor of children,
thus they won't report on it because it gets in
the way of their illegal immigration agenda.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Fair, yeah, fair. I mean everyone saw the headline of
that little boy standing outside one of the law enforcement vehicles.
I believe he was wearing a blue hat. And you're Hispanic.
I'm Hispanic as someone that is Hispanic, and someone that
has testified to this issue on Capitol Hill numerous times,
twice in front Congress, once in front of Senate. My
business partner is testified in front of Congress as well.
(15:05):
And you know it's funny is that it's been six
times in about three years. And unless your doctor fauci,
normally an individual doesn't go on up on Capitol Hill
and testify that many times. But the issue is persistent.
If we as the American people, don't realize that our
taxpayer dollars are used to fund these programs of which
(15:26):
the cartel are very much aware of. They are using
our hard earned taxpayer dollars to fund their operations and
get these children to where they end up in sex slavery,
they end up in in labor situations, labor trafficking. That
is what the American people need to realize. And to
your point, the media is not reporting on it. In
(15:47):
the hearings, the Democrats barely wanted to talk about it.
They want They kept bringing up in the July twenty
twenty five hearing the Epstein Epstein List, Epstein List, and
I just wanted to shake them and say, you seem
to care so much about the Epstein list in sex trafficking,
but you refuse to talk about the over three hundred
thousand missing, unaccounted for, and exploited children. And then you
(16:08):
get Javier Bressera running for a governor, like I feel
like I'm in a twilight zone.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I know, you know it's crazy. I'm with you, and
you know, let's describe the scope of the problem. Because
when I talk to even conservatives about this, a lot
of them believe, hey, President Trump's got this, you know,
and we'll get to some of the stats in a minute.
But it isn't. And some even say this has been
the case for a long time. I mean, there may
(16:34):
be some sexual exploitation here and there, but it's not
as bad as you're saying, Salsato. It is. It is
not only bad, it has gotten worse as Democrats have
gotten more political clout, as Democrats have taken over the
deep state. It has gotten far worse, has it not.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I would say it's gotten worse because we haven't talked
about it, and we haven't talked about it in a
meaningful way. And guard against trafficking, we don't just educate
parents and communities. We educate law enforcement, all levels of
law enforcement, local, state, federal. We've had anywhere from road
patrol in our trainings all the way up to seasoned
(17:14):
sex crimes detectives, and when they leave that training, they
have come up to us every time and said, Wow,
I learned something I didn't realize XYZ about this. And
so when you bring in an organization that is boots
on the ground, that is interviewed incarcerated traffickers and gets
a criminal profile and takes a forensic psychological approach to
(17:36):
combating this crime. That's how you start to get law
enforcement on the cutting edge. That's how you start to
get federal partners like HSI being able to be equipped
and armed and understanding the difference is between prostitution and
sex trafficking. It's tough, but they need to understand it.
Prosecutors need to understand when they're prosecuting the crimes, and
(17:56):
so we need to take this one step further. We
are done with the introductory awareness phase. We need people
to wake up, get educated, and then get activated because
right now our children and their innocence and their future
is as at stake.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Chris, Yes, and remember, folks, you are being made unwilling
participants in the sexual exploitation of children. You are being
forced by your government to fund sex trafficking and human trafficking,
and I think that would anger some of you. I
don't know. We're talking to Ali Hopper, she's the president
(18:33):
and co founder of Guard Against Trafficking. So I'm going
to play an ad that we created because we have
an attorney general who is running for Senate in the
state of Texas who wants to stop all of this.
Of course, the Democrat Socialist, the Marxist who's running is
not only one of these guys who loves quote trans kids,
loves them. He has condemned in no way the Democrat
(18:57):
Party's participation in fully funding of in the policies that
lead to government sponsored human trafficking. Listen to the ad
and I want to get your reaction. Just how sick
and sad or deviant Democrats under Beijing Biden and President
Auto Pen the Democrats turned our government into glorified pimps,
delivering nearly five hundred thousand illegal alien children into sex, slavery,
(19:21):
and forced labor into the United States.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I discovered that children are being trafficked through a sophisticated
network that begins with recruiting and home country smuggling to
the US border and ends when oarr delivers a child
to a sponsor. Some sponsors are criminals and traffickers and
members of transnational criminal organizations. Some sponsors view children as
(19:47):
commodities and assets to be used for earning income. That
the United States government has become the middleman in a
large scale, multi billion dollar child trafficking operation.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
And what did the Democrat Party and their standard bearer
in Texas say about all of this absolutely nothing. You
won't find James Tallerico condemning deviant Democrats and their attacks
on children. When you go to vote this fall, let
your conscience be your guide. Vote for the man with
a proven history of defending the children of Texas. Vote Conservative,
(20:23):
Ken Paxton. So that was the ad, And I'll add
one more thing to this alley that, just to be fair,
the Democrats' policies of sexually exploiting children, turning our government
into pimps, was fully funded by quote unquote Republicans like
John Cornyan, Mitch McConnell, and the and their ilk who
(20:43):
voted every step of the way not to defund that
cancerous and abusive policy, but they gave all of our
tax payer dollars to the effort. It is a betrayal
by the entirety of government, is it not?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
It absolutely is, And I just that voice is so familiar,
Tera wrote us. She is a whistleblower, and I just
commend her bravery for coming out, for standing up, for
speaking out for the men, women and children that have
been exploited by this program and by those people. And
it's extremely important that we don't let this issue die.
(21:21):
This issue, unfortunately, was a stain on American history. There
were so many people that were harmed, not just illegal aliens,
but American families, American children, American parents that were harmed
by the illegals, the criminal illegals that came into their
country and hurt and stole the innocence and murdered people.
(21:44):
So it's a stain on American history. But what we
do with it is that we never forget when we
go to the when we go to the ballot box,
we need to vote in the people that are willing
to speak up, stand up, and vote against these types
of policies. Vote for policies that secure our borders and
that protect our citizens and that stop this from happening.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yes, and not to mention innocent illegal alien children who
who were thrust into this through no fault of their own.
And as mentioned, depending on what source you read, it's
upward of five hundred thousand little shy of five hundred
thousand illegal alien children who've been lost. According to reports,
(22:30):
about one hundred and fifty thousand of them have been
found by the Trump administration, and many are saying, wow,
that's not a great number. We want to see them
all discovered and rescued from what I would classify as
hell on Earth. What, in your estimation, what more needs
to be done by our government. We've already covered the
fact that our people need to be made aware of
(22:52):
what's going on. What policy could could really turn this around,
rescue those kids and prevent children from being trafficked in
the future.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I am so proud to be from the home state
of Florida. And why I mention that is because if
you're not familiar of Operation Home for the Holidays, it's
a perfect example of how to help this administration find
these kids. You need local and state agencies working with
federal agencies to find these kids. And again, it's not
just illegal alien children, it's also domestic children that have
(23:24):
fallen victim into these same pathways of exploitation and the
same clientele, the same trafficking rings. And so if we're
able to work together local, state, federal authorities, that is
going to help this administration. They are they haven't even
gotten in all of the all of the appointments that
(23:44):
they need to fully operate. They're ruling by executive order
because we have a do nothing Congress that do nothing
Senate because they can't agree on anything, even the Save
America Act. And so we need to step up as
citizens Americans and push our local and state authorities to
partner with federal authorities to find these kids, to arrest
(24:08):
these criminals, and to deport the every single criminal illegal alien.
And when I say criminal, anyone that crosses in not
through a legal channel, yes, falls into that.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
And I think everybody should know and recognize that no
Democrat has come out and condemned the illegal alien children
who they and their policies in the last regime delivered
into sex, slavery and hell on Earth. And frankly, no
Republican is calling these Democrats out. Somehow Democrats get to
(24:46):
run on a run for office and they all support
trafficking children for sexual exploitation. It's the damnedest thing I've
ever seen. If folks want to help guard against Trafficking
ali work, they.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Go thank you so much for mentioning that Guard Against
Trafficking dot org. We have all of our information on
our site. We are on most social media platforms, and
if you feel inclined to donate, please do because it
is the lifeblood of our organization. We are a five
oh one C three, So it is tax deductible, and
every single penny of that goes back to this mission.
(25:21):
Every single one of our team members is dedicated and
motivated to stopping this crime at the source. And we
just really appreciate you having us on.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Ali Hopper, president and co founder of Guard Against Trafficking
that's Guard against Trafficking dot org. Did I get it right?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
All right, Thank you very much, Ali Hopper. You're doing
God's work and keep us posted, will you.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I will thank you, No, thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Those who are out there defending the innocent against bad actors,
they deserve our support in any manner we could give it, folks,
So if you can help them out, if you can.
That's going to wrap up this Salsado Storm podcast. A
couple of things to remember folks until we visit again. First,
pick up the new book The Rise of the Liberty
(26:06):
Loving Latino, A New American Revolution. This book details how
millions of liberty loving Latinos join the fight to keep
America America. And not only does it detail how it
all happened, it will detail for us how we continue
the winning, how we keep the America First Coalition keeping
America on the right track toward restoring liberty, freedom, and
(26:29):
prosperity to our blessed land. And remember this until we
visit again, my friends. A society's worth is not measured
by how much powers stolen by government. A society's worth
is measured by how much power is reserved for you
and me, we the people. You keep fighting to save
your country, my friends, because it's worth it.
