Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jared Hudson joins its now forming Navy seal in Jefferson
County Sheriff candidate Back in the studios, you continue to
fight against human trafficking at a big event coming up
for you, guys, said Jared.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Good to see again. Happy new year, hey man, Happy
new to you. Good to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
So first of all, I got to get your thoughts
on Trump's moving at lightning speed to kind of shut
her down at the border and go round up the
bad guys. With Tom Holman, you got to be on
fire for I.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Think it's I think it's great, especially as a law
enforcement agent, you know, both as a TFO and a
state agent here in Alabama. I think it's phenomenal what
they're doing and what they're pushing for, because it's you're
starting to see justice or you're starting to see the
wheels of justice turning in the.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Correct lit in the order back, starting to at least
get back.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
And it's also hilarious watching him sign all this stuff
and watching all the lefties lose their mind over it.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Oh my gosh, their hair is on fire, isn't it. Abs?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Just common sense has returned the wave across the country
has said enough enough and overwhelmingly put this guy in
here to get things back on track. And I think
out of the gate, even before he was sworn in,
he was getting the wheels turningly.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah. Yeah, and then the DEI push, you know, doing
away with that and all of those sort of things.
It's been really good to see. I got buddies still
in the military still and seal teams that are super
excited about it. Yeah, buddies that are federal agents that
are getting back more involved. They're getting some of their
cases that were shut down, they're getting more involved in those.
So I mean, it's really cool to see just the
transition of leadership and what that does to the men
(01:21):
and women working to keep us safe.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
As a guy in law enforcement, Tom Homan has said,
if you're going to be a sanctuary city and push
back on us coming in here to get the illegal
criminals out of your city, it's not gonna be going
well for you. And if I got to bring ten
agents that, I'll bring twenty ice agents in I'll bring thirty,
but it's not going to go well for you. Your
thoughts on these mayors and governors that are pushing back
on this, oh.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, I think that they're gonna I think most of
them are going to capitulate because most of them do
it for a political push anyway. They don't really want
to stand behind what they're doing. It's kind of like,
you know, some of the other stuff we saw during
the COVID or during riots. You know, they'll only go
so far, but then when their feet are held of
the fire, they step back.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Well, we saw Mayor Adams change direction on his city
because things got so out of control, and the Democrats
basically crucified him for not jumping on board with being
a sanctuary city much anymore. But you got to think
that the mayor of Chicago, who is more socialist and
left than Lorie Lightfoot, the previous mayor in that city,
is not reading the room. I mean, you got full
(02:19):
house city hall meetings where people are screaming, fix this
problem here, and he's going, well.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
We going again. Can't go that way.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
You know, it's not the way we do things here
as a democratic leaders.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Hello, dude, wake up. Your people are against you right now.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah. Yeah, And I think that they're going to start
seeing that more and more. I think obviously we saw
in this last election, you know, you saw how people
turned out and voted, and I think you're going to
see an overwhelming majority of people because whether whatever side
of the aisle you fall on is almost irrelevant. People
just want to be safe, go to work, and like
living a whole life America. Yeah, that's that's what they want.
They don't want this division that's created.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, I mean it's it's going to take a minute.
I mean, four years of allowing it to just flood
this country is not going to be fixed here in
the next couple of weeks, you know. So with that said,
in all the open borders, not only is it creating
crime in our own cities, but the amount of fentanyl
came in here and the amount of human trafficking that
is really kind of almost taken over drug trafficking because
(03:16):
you know, you can only use drug ones, you can
use a person more than once. And your organization, Covenant
Rescue Group, is all about pushing back on human trafficking.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So even before I ran for sheriff back in twenty eighteen,
my wife and I started this organization in twenty nineteen,
we got our five one C three status and been
doing it now full time. We did it part time
all the way up into about twenty twenty two. I've
been doing it full time since twenty twenty two. Yeah,
we work with local law enforcement agencies to teach them.
We actually running a training right now up in North Alabama.
(03:48):
But we teach law enforcement agencies how to successfully target
human trafficking. And we do that in particular through child
exploitation or the exploitation of minors. Human trafficking one thirteen
eighty five two in the state of Alabama defines a
minor as nineteen to sixteen and a child as anything
under sixteen. So we teach law enforcement agents how to
(04:09):
not just successfully make an arrest because that's one form
of law enforcement snatch the bad guy, but also successfully
make a prosecution because that's the other form. And the
reason we do that is because long story short, there's
statistics with DOJ and American Psychiatric Association that show for
every man showing up for a little girl, there are
fifty victims before he's prosecuted, not before he's arrested, before
(04:31):
he's prosecuted. For every man showing up for a little boy,
there's one hundred and fifty victims before he's prosecuted. So
if you have an average of one hundred victims, we
average with the operations we run with local law enforcement
about ten arrest a month, and we run about ten
operations a year, So that's ten thousand victims that are
saved based on those statistics, and that's what we teach
(04:51):
local law enforcement to do.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That is the reality of what we're facing here. And
not only in Alabama like that, but this nation is
like this in every spot you go to where yes,
that's right, it's not just maybe a little problem. This
is a monster science problem against young people.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And most people that are impacted by it's from folks
they know, so we have to view it differently. Right,
it's familiar based whether it's through the illegal immigration side.
Now you have eighty three thousand, I believe was the
last number I heard kids that now can be targeted
for that more easily. But it's fifty seven percent are known,
the perpetrator knows the victim, and then thirty six percent
(05:31):
would be a family member, and that other final seven
percent is unknown. So what we think human trafficking is,
you know from the movies, and what we see is
not really reality. From from what we actually it's dirtier.
It's dirtier because it's familiar based.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yes you know, yes, that's awful, and those unnoticed or
not unnoticed, but unreported and much easier to cover up
if it's inside the.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Worlds exactly or inside your community.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Right, that's what we see. Man.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
If you're all about trying to help this come to
a halt and help the Covenant Rescue Group continue their
fight to save children, please come to this event that's
coming up in February. Tell us about what's going on
here in this dinner and how people can come and
help support what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, so you can just go to the website coven
at Rescue dot org, click on events and you'll see
the little flyer for a Night of Hope, and that
is it's being hosted St.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Mark's.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
It's being hosted at Saint Mark's, the Catholic church down
there off of two eighty or off of Cobba Valley Road,
and it's at six pm on February the seventh. The
door's open at six, will be done by eight. We're
not looking to drag this thing out. It's fifty dollars
a ticket. It's gonna have food, You're gonna have speakers.
I'll wrap up everything as a final speaker, but we
have Sheriff Mark Moon coming in to speak, District Attorney
(06:49):
Jennifer Bray out of Marshall County, and then we have
trafficing Hope and well house advocates that we've worked with
in the past, like Miss Carolyn Potter, mimss Pam Raspberry.
We've got them coming in. And we also have some
victims that we have been able to positively impact through
our operations that are possibly going to talk via video
and tell their story, center tell their story and just
(07:10):
say you know, this is what this organization does in
this way.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Shoul supported it well, very important that you guys, you know,
continue to do your work. Thank you for what you're doing,
first of all, but secondly, you know, when you have
a nonprofit like this, it is fighting so hard to
attack this beast. You guys aren't doing this to make money.
It's not a business, but it takes money to do
what you do. So if you're going to give fifty
bucks to something this year, let's get after human trafficking,
(07:35):
especially when it comes to these kids and these guys
are doing.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
