(00:08):
In the dark shadows, in thewhite cold. Fearlessly, we search for
knowledge new and old. We drinkthe strong spirits and read the ancient tones.
The order of the Abercast. Weare the brave and the bold.
(00:35):
The Abercast accult, history, conspiracyand violence. Hey, welcome to the
(01:21):
show. I'm John Towers. Thisis the Overcast. So we gotta show
for you that we gotta show foryou this evening. Um, and it's
sort of one of these situations whereour finger is sort of sorry Joe.
It was like sort of right onthe pulse. So I had decided,
(01:42):
uh, well, pretty much uponupon the announcement of a fifth Indiana Jones
movie, I wasn't gonna go.I wasn't gonna go see Indian Indiana Jones
movie. Um. Apparently I wasnot alone. Um, but I did
um go see this movie that Inever I haven't heard anything about. I
(02:04):
didn't hear anything about the Sound ofFreedom movie. I am familiar with him
Ballard in his congressional testimony regarding humantrafficking, and I was like, Oh,
that's this guy, you know whatever. And then I started hearing like
a lot of buzz and a lotof word of mouth about the movie or
whatever, and I went and Iseen it, and then over the this
(02:29):
weekend, something in a weird startto happen where you know, Rolling Stone
in CNN, where they were attackingthis movie. And the movie isn't political.
It's not even faith based. Iwouldn't say it's faith based. And
(02:50):
also it's not an action movie.Every place is calling it an action movie.
It's not an action movie. It'slike a drama. It's a drama,
but it's not political at all.There's no politics to it other than
it's not. There's no left orright politics to it. But the media
is crushed crushing this movie, sayingit's full of conspiracy theories and blah blah
(03:15):
blah. You know, it's whatthey say about everything nowadays. I suppose,
but it really kind of was likewhat you know is crazy. I
don't think left and right make adifference anymore in this day and age.
I don't think so. I thinkit's normal people versus crazy people. And
(03:38):
if something like pedophilia and trafficking peoplemodern slavery isn't something that we can all
stand behind, I don't know,like I've lost faith in this country.
(03:59):
Um. I think it's started overCOVID. You know, I was like,
there's no way Americans are going tostay in their house for two weeks.
And was I fucking wrong about that? And then every step of the
way down has been more of this, Oh, we're not going to put
up with this, and then wedo. So I've lost faith in the
(04:24):
rugged individualists that I thought America waswas made up of. You know,
in these in these days, youlook around and there's a war on children.
And you can call it gender firmin care or whatever weird pink haired
(04:46):
nonsense you're you're gonna be talking about. But you know, if you just
line up the line it up,you know, abortion, well, abortion,
you don't want to count that becauseit's women's rights and you can't tell
me what to do with my body. And find then you talk about like,
well, mute, mute, genitalmutilation of children, Well it's not
(05:11):
really a general mutilation of children,it's gender affirming care. Well, then
puberty blockers and the permanent damage thesedrugs are are inflicting upon children, you
know, with the drugs that theyused to sterilize pedophile. Oh no,
(05:36):
no, no, no, we'renot sterilizing anybody where you know, it's
just genderafirma care And I'm like,how many of these things do we have
to tick through before It's like,maybe it's none of those things. Maybe
this is like a war on yourchildren. You know, that's not even
talking about like all the weird gazeoff they're doing in their faces and these
(06:02):
drag queen shows and all this otherkind of stuff. It's like it's bananas.
So, you know, I wasraised in the shadow of Oh God,
I want to talk about this ofinappropriate sexual relationships within within my family.
(06:29):
And I'm like, it's this isnot a political thing. Either you
want to stick up for these thingsor you or you don't. And if
you don't, what what is wrongwith you? So it really started getting
me thinking about this and this movie. And you know, this movie was
(06:50):
made like five years ago or something, and Disney sat on it and they
had to like finaggle the rights backin order to re or to get it
released theaters, and um, youknow, in some kind of weird karmic
way, you're like, well,if Disney, if Disney had the rights
to release it, why didn't they? Well I mean, come on,
(07:12):
why why? I mean, fine, ask the question legitimately in your head
and play it out if let's see, obviously the movie is good, it's
worth watching. It's uh, it'sstatistically crushed Lucas Films, Indiana, Jones
five and the box office on fourthof July weekend, and that trend is
(07:36):
um continuing or not the fourth ofJuly weekend, fourth of July and continuing
through this weekend. So um,you know, this is when Disney Plus
asked me why I was canceling myDisney Plus account. I sent a little
note to them, and I said, because of all the weird kid things
that you guys are into. Alsobecause what they did to Star Wars anyhow,
(08:01):
So we're gonna get we're gonna gettrucking through here. And this movie
the I'm talking about doesn't talk aboutthe open border at all. However,
we're gonna tie We're gonna tie humantrafficking to the open to the open border.
And I don't mean we are goingto do it. I'm just going
to talk about these articles that UMI found that tie human trafficking to the
(08:24):
border policy of this of this administrationand um and then we're gonna we'll we'll
play it out here and see whathappens. So um, I have a
vessel of the art filled to thebrim with the weapon of mass distraction right
(08:46):
here, and let's get this partystarted and it going. I brought the
wrong reading glasses with me. Thisis gonna be fun. So we're gonna
start with this. Um the portionof the show called abercast Reacts. We're
gonna do a reaction audio piece too. At the end of the movie,
(09:11):
after the credits role, they havethis special message by the actor Jim Chewsel,
who played a jay Esus Christ andMel Gibson's movie. And uh,
I don't think he wrote this.He didn't certainly didn't do it on the
fly, because if you've listened toany interviews with the guy, he was
(09:31):
it's insufferable. He was just ramblesand rambles and rambles and and all this.
So um, but it's it's it'sa powerful movie, and I just
kind of want to talk about it. I don't even think we're gonna do
the whole thing, but here wego. I want to thank you all
for coming out and watching this movie. I'm guessing some of you are feeling
(09:54):
sad, and it's a fucking sadmovie. By the way. Uh,
lots of tears in the movie.I could hear people all around me crying
in the movie. In the moviethere, I obviously was not crying.
It's a lie. You are feelingsad and be overwhelmed, or even a
(10:16):
sense of fear, which is understandable. Living in fear isn't how It's the
bootleg, the Lady given coming tohope. It's believing that we can make
a difference because we can better.I want to make one thing clear.
This movie you just watched isn't aboutme or Tim Mallard. It's about those
kids. You know. Steve Jobsonce said, the most powerful person in
(10:39):
the world is the storyteller. AbrahamLincoln credited Harriet Stowe, which you wrote
Uncle Tom's Cabin. This powerful storyinspired millions to rise up and fight against
slavery. I think we can makeSound of Freedom the Uncle Tom's Cabin of
twenty first century slavery. This filmwas actually made five years ago, wasn't
(11:00):
released till now. With every roadblockthat you can imagine being tossed in the
way, and the names you seehere on the screen took a stand and
they made sure this story could beshown going to want a film, and
now all of you have the opportunityto continue telling this story. We don't
have big studio money to market thismovie, but we have you, and
(11:22):
the baton has now been passed toyou. You are the storytellers. They
can get people to come see thisfilm in theaters. When you come to
a theater, you experience movies differently. There is no pause button, there
are no distractions. We all havean experience as we watched the film together
as a community. It makes itpossible for strong messages like this one to
(11:45):
take root. Selling the Freedom isa hero's tale, but I'm not talking
about the character I play. It'stheir heroic brother and sister in this film
that work to save each other.They are the true heroes. The most
powerful person in this world is thestoryteller. Together, we have a chance
to make these two kids and thecountless children that they represent the most powerful
(12:09):
people in the world by telling theirstory in a way only the cinema can
do. For a couple of monthswhile Sound of Freedom is in theaters,
these kids can be more powerful thanthe car talking pins, or presidents or
congressmen, or even tech billionaires.We believe this movie or Jeffrey Howard to
be a huge step forward toward endingchild trafficking, but it will only have
(12:33):
that effect if millions of people seeits true. Now, I know it's
weird because we're in the theater,but feel free to pull out your phones
and scale this QR code. Wedon't want finances to be the reason someone
doesn't see this movie. So Angel'sStudios boldly has set up a pay it
Forward program where you can pay forsomeone. So he just explains what this
(12:56):
QR code is for the rest ofthe thing, and what it is is
you keep your phone, you beepit into your phone, and you could
buy tickets for people I'm guessing I'mimagining and um like third world nations or
poor poor folks where these um moviesare being being played. And the other
(13:20):
amazing thing besides all the fucking weepingat the end of the movie is I
looked around when this QR code cameon and he was explaining it, and
everybody's fucking phone went up boop boop, boop boop, and I thought that
that was I thought it was amazing, and I was just kidding about the
(13:41):
crying thing. Everybody was crying andI'm I weep at fucking everything. If
there's a commercial where a soldier comeshome and surprises their family, I'm I'm
a mess, like thirties when thethirty or minute spot is over. Anyhow,
(14:01):
this movie is fucking it's a it'san amazing movie. It's not a
UM it's not an action movie.That's what everyone keeps saying that it is.
It's it's certainly not that. Umbut I'm kind of like getting misty
just we're living this part, thispart of it so uh. At the
(14:22):
end of the movie, it goesthrough the statistics and it's like, hey,
you know, um, all thesethese are the amount of people that
are in sex slavery right now,estimated estimated numbers. And these these are
the countries where they're going. Andthis is the country that um uh has
(14:43):
that turns out the most pedophile contenton the web. Do you know what
country it was? It's America.It's the United States of America. We've
got a fucking porn problem, uh, child porn problem. Fredian slip.
Um Uh. So I'm watching thesestatistics. I didn't copy down the statistics.
(15:05):
I didn't bother to look them up. Um, we're probably gonna run
in. We're gonna run into statisticshere, but they're gonna be a little
bit on the stale side. Umwhen we get to them. I try
to make it obvious with what yearswe're talking about when we're going through.
But the statistics are shocking. Andwhen they said, like, hey,
(15:26):
America is making the most pedophile contentin the in the world, in the
history of the world. Like rightnow, there's another reason where I'm saying
we're the bad guys. We're thefucking bad guys. Uh. Thomas Jefferson
said, um uh. In orderto keep this representative republic, we have
to be immortal people. I thinkthat's gone. I think that's um,
(15:50):
it's gone. Obviously it's not gonefrom everybody, but it's fucking it's gone.
It's gone. These are old,These are antiquid tape ideas. So
okay, enough bullshit, let's getto it. The abercast reacts too.
I already told you it was agreat movie. I'm almost crying just thinking
about the end of it, likeright now. And that's what movies are
(16:14):
good for. They're good form emotionalstuff, right, and this is a
terribly emotional emotional movie. Bring yoursunglasses. That's what I did. As
soon as the movie was over,I put my sunglasses on and I peed
and I got the fuck to mycar as soon as I could. So
(16:37):
here I got. I brought mywrong reading glasses. And so let's see
if I can make this work.We're gonna start out with a dot gov.
Man. What's the name of thisthing? It's a Bureau of Statistics.
The link will be in the shownotes if you're interested in getting a
whole picture. Bureau of Justice Statisticsreleases human trafficking data collection activities. This
(17:04):
is from twenty twenty one and twentytwenty two, so it's not so old.
And this was published at the endof twenty twenty two. Okay,
US Department of Justice, Office ofJustice Programs Bureau of Justice Statistics has released
(17:26):
a report describing their human trafficking datacollection and reporting efforts for twenty twenty one
and twenty two. The report detailsongoing and completed efforts to measure and analyze
the nationwide incidents of human trafficking,to describe characteristics of human trafficking victims and
offenders, and to describe criminal justiceresponses to human trafficking offenses. Additionally,
(17:55):
it provides information on human trafficking suspectsreferred to and executed by US attorneys,
human trafficking defendants convicted in US districtcourt, and administered missions to state prison
for human trafficking. These are thehighlights. A total of two thousand and
(18:17):
one hundred and ninety eight persons werereferred to US attorneys for human trafficking offenses
in the physical the fiscal year twentytwenty, a sixty two percent increase from
the one thousand, three hundred andsixty persons referred in twenty eleven. Sixty
two percent in just about ten yearsincrease. The numbers are bigger even today.
(18:45):
The numbers of persons prosecuted for humantrafficking increased from seven hundred, twenty
nine in twenty eleven to one thousand, three hundred and forty three and twenty
twenty. That's an eighty four percentincrease. The person number of persons convicted
in a federal human trafficking court increasedfrom two thousand eleven, which was four
(19:07):
hundred and sixty four persons, totwenty nineteen, which is eight hundred and
thirty seven persons of the one thousand, one hundred and sixty nine defendants charged
in US district court with human traffickingoffenses in the fiscal year of twenty twenty.
Ninety two percent were mail, sixtythree percent were white, eighteen percent
(19:29):
were Black, seventeen percent were Hispanic, ninety five percent were US citizens,
sixty six had no prior convictions,and at year end in twenty twenty,
for the forty seven states that reporteddata, one thousand, five hundred and
sixty four persons were in custody ofa state prison serving a sentence for human
(19:49):
trafficking offenses. And there's a linkso you can look at the whole report
if you wanted to. Like Isaid, I'll put the link in the
in the shoe Newes. So whatare we talking about? What are we
talking about here? Uh, we'retying this to what we usually talk about
on the show on the show bylinking it to the administration's open quote open
(20:17):
border policy unquote. I found thison msn dot com mm Team Biden middleman
in multi billion dollar migrant child traffickingwhistle blowers reportedly planned to testify. As
a story by Navdeep Yadav April twentysixth I'm guessing this year or last year.
(20:47):
Whistleblower will reportedly tell a House Judiciarysubcommittee during the hearing on Wednesday that
President Joe Biden's administration played a roleof middleman and a multibillion dollar operation involving
the traffic of migrant children. Whathappened? The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration,
(21:15):
Integrity, Security and Enforcement will behearing the Biden Border Crisis Exploitation of
Unaccompanied Alien Children's case to address asurge in unaccompanied children arriving at our southern
border. The subcommittee will hear fromthree witnesses. Tarrelle Rhodes in HHS whistleblow
(21:38):
were formerly with the Inspectors General's Office, Sina Rodriguez, the founder and president
of Alliance for a Safe Texas,and Jessica Vaughan, director of Policy studies
at the Center for Immigration Studies,reported Fox News. The publication, citing
(21:59):
a copy of road As written testimony, said that she will warn of a
problem that predates the administration but hasincreased significantly during the recent migrant crisis.
Rhodas is expected to talk about hervolunteering at emergency intake sites in California to
help the HHS Office of refugee resettlementidentify sponsors for miners who have come across
(22:22):
the border. Quote. I thoughtI was going to help place children in
loving homes. Instead, I discoveredthat children are being trafficked through sophisticated network
that begins with being recruited in theirhome country, smuggled to the US border,
and ends when ORR develops a childto a sponsor, delivers a child
(22:45):
to a sponsor. She's expected tosay whether intentional or not. Well,
let's look at the track record ofthis administration. It can be argued that
the US government has become the middlemanin a large scale, multi billion dollar
child trafficking operation run by bad actorsseeking to profit off the lives of children.
(23:10):
Rodriguez and Vaughan will also call forcongressional action and for the investigation of
federal agencies responsible. So there's thesound of freedom in this movie. He's
the guy playing Tim Ballard is talkingabout the character of Tim Ballard is talking
(23:33):
about the difference between a child anda bag of coke, And he was
like, when you have when thebad guys have a bag of coke,
they can only sell at once.When you have a child, you can
sell that child five or six timesa day. And if that thought doesn't
(23:57):
make you want to throw up,I imagine we're going to come across some
of the crazy shit here in alittle while. Why it matters. President
Biden is fielding criticism from both sidesof the aisle over how his administration is
handling a dramatic rise in border crossingsby unaccompanied migrant miners. According to Customs
(24:21):
and Border Protection data, the numberof unaccompanied children who arrived at the border
has significantly increased from thirty three thousand, two hundred thirty nine in twenty twenty
to over one hundred forty six thousandin twenty twenty one, thirty three thousand
(24:44):
to one hundred and forty six thousandand hunderd a year, and in twenty
twenty two one hundred and fifty twothousand. Has a current fiscal year,
which is a fiscal year of twentytwenty three, more than seventy thousand encounters
of unaccompanied children have already taken place. So in August of August thirtieth of
(25:10):
twenty twenty two, there's this oped human trafficking crisis at the border is
coming to your hometown. Leek willbe in the show notes, hundreds of
thousands of migrants are crossing into ourcountry illegally every day, and our border
has never been less secure. WhenBiden announced the changes in the policy at
(25:34):
our border soon after taking office,millions of migrants flooded our borders to take
advantage of the lax roles entertaining anddisappearing without a trait entering and disappearing without
a trace. Others have attempted toenter the US with ill intentions, engaging
in criminal activity both along the borderand inside the country. Particularly, human
(25:56):
trafficking has become one of the largestissues seeing our border security, with men,
women and children being exploited enforced intolabor against their will. Considered the
modern form of slavery, human traffickinghas become one of the world's most lucrative
businesses, bringing in an estimated onehundred and fifty billion fucking dollars annually for
(26:19):
evil predators. One of the otherstatistics in this movie that they talk about
is this is it's bigger business thanillegal guns, it's bigger business than illegal
drugs, or will be very veryquickly, is this human trafficking Over the
last year and a half under theBiden administration, human traffickers at the borders
(26:44):
have been busier than ever since thePresident practically hung a welcome sign on our
country's front door, it should actuallybe the back door. The This administration
has made it abundantly clear that theyhave no intentions of enforcing the image Gracian
laws currently on the books, hasproven by their destructive policies. In fact,
one of the first actions the administrationtook back in February of twenty twenty
(27:08):
one was reinstating the Catch and Release, this policy that requires the Department of
Homeland Security to release unprocessed migrants intothe United States while awaiting their court hearings.
Additionally, Democrats repeated attempts to endTitle forty two. Along with the
Supreme Court recent rulings that ended theTrump administration's remain in Mexico policy have left
(27:33):
CBP agents toolboxes almost empty. Withoutthese necessary policies, or agents have no
ability to control the influx of migrantsat the border or to properly check their
backgrounds of those entering the country.The number of crossings along the southern border
has reached a new historic highs foreach month that has passed since Joe Biden
(27:56):
took office June of this year.US border authorities processed immigrants over one point
seven million times in this fiscal year, by and large, passing the previous
records set in twenty twenty one,despite they're still being six months left in
twenty twenty two. These historic highis meaning that the number of traffic persons
(28:17):
is rising as well, especially consideringthat in twenty twenty one alone, more
than four hundred thousand migrants evaded apprehension, being counted among the quote gotaways unquote
at the border in just recently,it was revealed in June twenty twenty two
border statistics issued by the US Customsand Border Protection that c PP the encounters
(28:44):
of unaccompanied children increased four percent fromMay, while the average number of unaccompanied
miners taken into CPP custody is averagingseven hundred and fifty two a day.
And tragically, children making this journeyacross the board or alone are most vulnerable
to attackers or to traffickers, theyshould say. The study predicts nearly sixty
(29:08):
percent of unecompanying miners crossing the borderhave been caught by cartels and are being
forced into child pornography and drug traffickingsixty percent. Over my five trips to
the border, I have seen childrenas young as two months old being smuggled
by coyotes across the Rio grand Onmy first trip to McAllen, Texas in
(29:32):
twenty twenty one, I met alittle girl who couldn't speak because our vocal
cords had been severely damaged by gangmembers who've sexually abused her. If you
think this is only happening along theborder, think again. In my district
alone, or largely rural area innorth central Florida, authorities have encountered several
(29:53):
traffickers transporting illegals to various parts ofthe state. Two months ago, Florida
Highway Patrol troopers in my canopy stoppeda coyote from Mexico who's transporting migrants across
state lines. Now in jail onhuman smuggling charges. No matter where you
reside, every town in America hasbecome a border town. This unprecedented humanitarian
(30:18):
crisis is solely the result of Biden'segregious policies. I don't think it's solely
a result, but it's a contributingfactor. It's reprehensible and quite frankly unimaginable
that the administration charged with defending theConstitution and securing our borders could so abashedly
do just the opposite. As amember of the House Homeland Security Committee,
(30:41):
I'm greatively concerned about what is takingplace along our borders, and even more
unnerving is the thought that until Republicansregain that's not even going to stop anything.
All right, I'm abandoning, I'mabandoning this article. We're gonna We're
gonna move on to something else herein just a minute. Um, I'd
(31:03):
like to take the opportunity to pointout that I have a feature topic link
on avercast dot com. You canfind um like episodes there. While there,
check out the storefront and T shirtsand comic books, fucking cards,
terror cards, fucking tarot cards,fucking stickers and T shirts and tope bags
(32:09):
and fucking hip sacks and fucking vesselsof the art, fucking all that shit.
All right, Jump into the HeritageFoundation Fighting Human Trafficking and Battling Biden's
(32:34):
Open Border by Hannah Davis, ResearchAssistant, Border Security and Immigration Center.
Hannah is a research assistant in theHeritage Foundation's Border Security and Immigration Center.
Here are the key takeaways. Bidenhas professed a commitment to fight this multifacting
(32:55):
criminal enterprise, yet his immigration policieshave only been exasperated by the problem.
Biden administration has embraced the Trafficking VictimsProtection Reauthorization Act in a way calculated to
increase them. The absence of ordersecurity and conjunction with the non existent interior
(33:17):
enforcement has made the US a fertilebreeding ground for human trafficking. Human trafficking
is a global business, generating onehundred and fifty billion in illegal profits.
It encompasses forced labor, sex trafficking. Oh, we haven't even talked about
(33:37):
the organ trafficking sided US. PresidentBiden has professed commitment to fight this multifaceted
criminal enterprise, yet is immigration policiesheavily exasperated the problem. Human trafficking increased
massively the last fiscal year. Arrestrose fifty percent, convictions soared by eighty
(33:59):
percent, and the vast majority,which is seventy two percent, of those
trafficked in the US are immigrants,and most of them are here illegally.
Many women and children who are highlyvulnerable to being smuggled and eventually trafficked.
A study from the Coalition Against TraffickingWomen estimated that sixty percent of the Unaccompanied
(34:19):
Alien children or UACs are caught bycartels and exploited through child pornography and drug
trafficking. To put it in perspective, more than one hundred and fifty thousand
UACs crossed in our country last year. The Biden administration responded by declaring January
(34:40):
National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. This, of course, did nothing to curb
the problem. That month, fiveeight hundred and eighty two UACs crossed the
border, and increase of more thaneighty percent over the number logged by the
Orangeman administration in twenty twenty. Thedramatic increase can be traced directly to the
(35:02):
Biden administration's open border policy. Onaverage, over twelve hundred UACs are entering
the nation monthly in twenty twenty three. Since taking office, Biden administration has
reported over thirty thousand alien minor encounters. The Department of Health and Human Services
report that between January twentieth, twentytwenty one. In February seventh, twenty
(35:29):
two, it placed nearly one hundredand fifty thousand, one hundred and fifty
thousand unaccompanied children with sponsors in theUS. It has been estimated that this
influx of students will cost school districtsan extra four point six billion dollars annually.
Rather than attempting to lower these largenumbers, the Biden administration has embraced
(35:52):
the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act anda way calculated to increase them. Section
two thirty five of the Act,misleadingly titled Enhancing Efforts to Combat the Trafficking
of Children, grants UAC's special accommodationssuch as exped expedited processing and benefits.
(36:14):
Not surprisingly, after Congress passed theprovision that provision the number of UAC's from
non contiguous countries sword as parents andmore importantly, smugglers realize that in section
two three five all but guaranteed thatany such child who could make it illegally
(36:35):
into the United States would be releasedinto this country, said Andrew Arthur the
Center for Immigration Studies. Section twothree five, coupled with Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro majorcists public statements that we arenot expelling unaccompanied children, has only excited
(36:57):
more enticed more miners into making lifethreatening decisions. The increased flow of UACs
increased the demand for sponsors ie peoplewilling to house and care for these children
so they can be processed out ofHealth and Human service housing. To remedy
this, the administration lowered the standardfor sponsors, slashing the vetting the vetting
(37:22):
process times to meet the deadlines setto meet mister Biden's self induced emergency,
according to HHS whistle blow, wherethe lower standards led to more and more
of these children falling in the handsof Cartel's pedophiles and pimps, many who
were claimed by quote family members unquotethat they had never met and then subjected
(37:46):
to horrendous conditions. To curtail humantrafficking, especially of children, the Trump
administration allowed Immigration and Customs enforcement torun DNA tests on immigrants claiming to be
traveling in amelial units. This programdedicated more than six thou detected more than
six thousand fraudulent families. Even thoughthe program was effective, Biden ended it.
(38:13):
The absence of border security and conjectionconjunction with nonexistent interior enforcement, has
made the US a fertile breeding groundfor human trafficking. The Biden Administration's National
(38:35):
Action Plan to combat human trafficking,probably proclaims pillars principles and priority actions,
but makes no mention of securing theSouthern border. It does, however,
dutifully present ideas regarding equity, inclusion, and gender. The administration persistently presses
leftists talking points, yet fails torecognize an obvious truth. Human trafficking at
(39:00):
and the misery it causes, willcontinue to soar as long as there is
no operational control of the Southern border. Goes on to state, Congress must
act repeal Section two three five ofthe Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. Otherwise,
UACs will continue to head for asouthern border, many encountering human traffic,
(39:23):
human trafficking cartels along the way,and others falling prey to insufficiently vetted
sponsors or family members they do notknow. The Biden Administration's refusal to enforce
humane, effective immigration laws tempts peopleto risk their lives daily. Until this
(39:45):
administration makes common sense policy changes andstarts enforcing the rule of law, the
cartels will continue to control the borderand the people who attempt to cross it.
All Right, and here we're gonnajump into a New York Post a
(40:10):
New York a New York Post articleBiden's border policies facilitate shocking modern slavery.
This is by Jessica Vaughan again umJanuary tenth, twenty twenty three. Wednesday
is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day,an occasion designed to draw attention to the
(40:32):
presence of trafficking in our midst andthe tolls it takes on the victim.
This year, for its most prominentanti traffick trafficking initiative, the Biden administration
is urging the public to mark theday by wearing blue and sharing selfies on
social media. That'll do the trick. We'll have this problem straighten out in
(40:54):
no time. The Biden's border pose, meanwhile, have literally been contributed to
the human trafficking problem every single daysince January twentieth, twenty one, when
the President began dismantling immigration enforcement resultsin the mass migration crisis that continues to
(41:15):
this day. Trafficking is the exploitationor enslavement of someone by force, fraud,
cohersion for labor, domestic servitude,or commercial sets. Law enforcement agencies
report that incidents have spiked in thelast two years, among an astounding two
point two million migrants apprehended in thefiscal year of twenty twenty two. Overwhelmed,
(41:42):
the border agents are told catch andrelease huge groups of illegal migrants,
processing them swiftly, preventing officers fromdoing proper vetting for those apprehended and often
missing the opportunity to detect trafficking.The migrants are deposited into streets in the
cities and the towns of the borderstates, and or transported to destinations around
(42:04):
the country where they are often isolatedand vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking. State
and local agencies ended up having tocope. One Texas sheriff in a county
along the smuggling routes told told arecent conference of officials working to combat trafficking
(42:24):
that before twenty twenty one, isdeputies encountered one or two cases of trafficking
a year. Last year, theydealt with seventy seven cases. The other
horrific scenarios, smugglers persuade parents tohand over their children in pursuit of a
better life, taking advantage of policiesthat virtually guarantee the release of the unaccompanied
(42:45):
minor to a sponsor. In theUnited States, In twenty twenty two,
nearly one hundred and thirty thousand suchminers were released to a sponsor. That
was a new record Under President JoeBiden. The priority is to move the
miners out of government custody as quicklyas possible, rather than conduct meaningful inquiry
(43:07):
into the child's situation or to ensurea miner is placed in appropriate safe house.
Background checks and home visits rarely takeplace. Instead, contractors attempt to
do well check by phone, nota particularly effective way to ascertain if a
child is being trafficked, and aboutone fifth of the sponsors don't respond to
(43:30):
the phone call. According to thestatistics officials gave Congress, these policies created
irresistible opportunity for labor and for sextrafficking to occur. The traffickers promised naive
migrants jobs in the United States andlure them into indentured servitude, peonage,
(43:52):
sex trafficking, extortion, or demandthat they work for the smugglers to pay
off their debts to the traffickers.Some traffickers prey on miners, saying in
the crowded, lightly supervised shelters wherethey cluster after crossing illegally. The kids
fall in with gangs after reaching theirdestination and are sexually assaulted and pimped out
(44:15):
for a profit. A Reuters reportlast month exposed that several Hundikia auto part
factories in Alabama hire dozens of CentralAmerican miners who had crossed the border illegally.
The policies that govern the placement ofminers who arrive unaccompanied are inadequate to
(44:38):
prevent them from being placed in appropriateenvironments that include labor and sex trafficking situations
and participation in the exposure to criminalgangs. These policies have always been inadequate,
in part due to the unmanageable volumeof cases, but have been relaxed
(45:00):
even more by the Biden administration,increasing opportunities for bad actors to exploit the
system. Swift release has been prioritizedover the vetting of sponsors. A loose
regulation of guest worker programs, especiallythe H two A and HT B programs,
also contribute to the trafficking. TheH two A visa is available to
(45:22):
farm workers. The H two Bvisa is available to employers for seasonal unskilled
non farm labor. As one studyput it, it conditions that create vulnerability
for trafficking victimization are built into thetemporary worker visa programs. Under Biden,
(45:43):
the work site audits and raids thatused to catch some of these trafficking situations
have been abandoned. So so it'sall pretty depressing. He's through a depressing
(46:04):
I thought I could end with thishere article that said stopping child trafficking is
everyone's job, says More to Lifefounder Miami, April twenty four, twenty
nineteen. Putting you stop to humantrafficking has always been about prevention, said
doctor Brooks, Bellow, founder ofthe Mortal Life, an open doors outreach
(46:27):
network provider and the nation's leading antihuman trafficking victim recovery program. As human
trafficking levels increasing increase during difficult andchallenging economic periods, especially within families where
children are more vulnerable, Teachers,school nurses, counselors, and other educators
become the most empowered first responders asthey are the best position to identify child
(46:52):
abuse, neglect, and trafficking.During a keynote speech at the Association for
Supervision Curriculum, Curriculum Curriculum Development twentynineteen and International conference, doctor below spoke
(47:14):
passionately on the ever increasing human traffickingproblem, offering antidotes antidutes of her own
life story and the transition from victimto survivor and thriver to champion. As
part of the applause filled speech,below detailed the root causes of human trafficking,
which take on many forms, includingchild abuse, domestic violence, and
(47:37):
ignorance. Below's unique firsthand understanding ofhow teachers assisted her journey by providing her
and other tender aged youths with theguidance and support they require the path to
recovery was amplified when she singled outher own fifth grade teacher who provided the
necessary leadership and the youngsters leadership theyoungsters in today's world needs. The emotionally
(48:04):
charged, tear filled speech offered encouragementto educators who and teachers, and was
truly magnified when she said, thetaste of freedom for the first time is
the taste of the depth of ourhuman souls, and that that's what teachers
give and do every day, sharewhat was, lead, to determine what
(48:28):
is, and give the tools tocreate what will be. Human trafficking is
a serious societal issue and one thatall of us will need to address,
said David Arclis, board chairman ofMore to Life. We can do that
by supporting agencies that work on behalfof the children and victimize and victims of
(48:50):
all ages, and by making surethat we know the signs of human trafficking
and what to do to prevent it. Arclis as a former president of man

The Abercast accult, history, conspiracyand violence. Hey, welcome to the
(01:21):
show. I'm John Towers. Thisis the Overcast. So we gotta show
for you that we gotta show foryou this evening. Um, and it's
sort of one of these situations whereour finger is sort of sorry Joe.
It was like sort of right onthe pulse. So I had decided,
(01:42):
uh, well, pretty much uponupon the announcement of a fifth Indiana Jones
movie, I wasn't gonna go.I wasn't gonna go see Indian Indiana Jones
movie. Um. Apparently I wasnot alone. Um, but I did
um go see this movie that Inever I haven't heard anything about. I
(02:04):
didn't hear anything about the Sound ofFreedom movie. I am familiar with him
Ballard in his congressional testimony regarding humantrafficking, and I was like, Oh,
that's this guy, you know whatever. And then I started hearing like
a lot of buzz and a lotof word of mouth about the movie or
whatever, and I went and Iseen it, and then over the this
(02:29):
weekend, something in a weird startto happen where you know, Rolling Stone
in CNN, where they were attackingthis movie. And the movie isn't political.
It's not even faith based. Iwouldn't say it's faith based. And
(02:50):
also it's not an action movie.Every place is calling it an action movie.
It's not an action movie. It'slike a drama. It's a drama,
but it's not political at all.There's no politics to it other than
it's not. There's no left orright politics to it. But the media
is crushed crushing this movie, sayingit's full of conspiracy theories and blah blah
(03:15):
blah. You know, it's whatthey say about everything nowadays. I suppose,
but it really kind of was likewhat you know is crazy. I
don't think left and right make adifference anymore in this day and age.
I don't think so. I thinkit's normal people versus crazy people. And
(03:38):
if something like pedophilia and trafficking peoplemodern slavery isn't something that we can all
stand behind, I don't know,like I've lost faith in this country.
(03:59):
Um. I think it's started overCOVID. You know, I was like,
there's no way Americans are going tostay in their house for two weeks.
And was I fucking wrong about that? And then every step of the
way down has been more of this, Oh, we're not going to put
up with this, and then wedo. So I've lost faith in the
(04:24):
rugged individualists that I thought America waswas made up of. You know,
in these in these days, youlook around and there's a war on children.
And you can call it gender firmin care or whatever weird pink haired
(04:46):
nonsense you're you're gonna be talking about. But you know, if you just
line up the line it up,you know, abortion, well, abortion,
you don't want to count that becauseit's women's rights and you can't tell
me what to do with my body. And find then you talk about like,
well, mute, mute, genitalmutilation of children, Well it's not
(05:11):
really a general mutilation of children,it's gender affirming care. Well, then
puberty blockers and the permanent damage thesedrugs are are inflicting upon children, you
know, with the drugs that theyused to sterilize pedophile. Oh no,
(05:36):
no, no, no, we'renot sterilizing anybody where you know, it's
just genderafirma care And I'm like,how many of these things do we have
to tick through before It's like,maybe it's none of those things. Maybe
this is like a war on yourchildren. You know, that's not even
talking about like all the weird gazeoff they're doing in their faces and these
(06:02):
drag queen shows and all this otherkind of stuff. It's like it's bananas.
So, you know, I wasraised in the shadow of Oh God,
I want to talk about this ofinappropriate sexual relationships within within my family.
(06:29):
And I'm like, it's this isnot a political thing. Either you
want to stick up for these thingsor you or you don't. And if
you don't, what what is wrongwith you? So it really started getting
me thinking about this and this movie. And you know, this movie was
(06:50):
made like five years ago or something, and Disney sat on it and they
had to like finaggle the rights backin order to re or to get it
released theaters, and um, youknow, in some kind of weird karmic
way, you're like, well,if Disney, if Disney had the rights
to release it, why didn't they? Well I mean, come on,
(07:12):
why why? I mean, fine, ask the question legitimately in your head
and play it out if let's see, obviously the movie is good, it's
worth watching. It's uh, it'sstatistically crushed Lucas Films, Indiana, Jones
five and the box office on fourthof July weekend, and that trend is
(07:36):
um continuing or not the fourth ofJuly weekend, fourth of July and continuing
through this weekend. So um,you know, this is when Disney Plus
asked me why I was canceling myDisney Plus account. I sent a little
note to them, and I said, because of all the weird kid things
that you guys are into. Alsobecause what they did to Star Wars anyhow,
(08:01):
So we're gonna get we're gonna gettrucking through here. And this movie
the I'm talking about doesn't talk aboutthe open border at all. However,
we're gonna tie We're gonna tie humantrafficking to the open to the open border.
And I don't mean we are goingto do it. I'm just going
to talk about these articles that UMI found that tie human trafficking to the
(08:24):
border policy of this of this administrationand um and then we're gonna we'll we'll
play it out here and see whathappens. So um, I have a
vessel of the art filled to thebrim with the weapon of mass distraction right
(08:46):
here, and let's get this partystarted and it going. I brought the
wrong reading glasses with me. Thisis gonna be fun. So we're gonna
start with this. Um the portionof the show called abercast Reacts. We're
gonna do a reaction audio piece too. At the end of the movie,
(09:11):
after the credits role, they havethis special message by the actor Jim Chewsel,
who played a jay Esus Christ andMel Gibson's movie. And uh,
I don't think he wrote this.He didn't certainly didn't do it on the
fly, because if you've listened toany interviews with the guy, he was
(09:31):
it's insufferable. He was just ramblesand rambles and rambles and and all this.
So um, but it's it's it'sa powerful movie, and I just
kind of want to talk about it. I don't even think we're gonna do
the whole thing, but here wego. I want to thank you all
for coming out and watching this movie. I'm guessing some of you are feeling
(09:54):
sad, and it's a fucking sadmovie. By the way. Uh,
lots of tears in the movie.I could hear people all around me crying
in the movie. In the moviethere, I obviously was not crying.
It's a lie. You are feelingsad and be overwhelmed, or even a
(10:16):
sense of fear, which is understandable. Living in fear isn't how It's the
bootleg, the Lady given coming tohope. It's believing that we can make
a difference because we can better.I want to make one thing clear.
This movie you just watched isn't aboutme or Tim Mallard. It's about those
kids. You know. Steve Jobsonce said, the most powerful person in
(10:39):
the world is the storyteller. AbrahamLincoln credited Harriet Stowe, which you wrote
Uncle Tom's Cabin. This powerful storyinspired millions to rise up and fight against
slavery. I think we can makeSound of Freedom the Uncle Tom's Cabin of
twenty first century slavery. This filmwas actually made five years ago, wasn't
(11:00):
released till now. With every roadblockthat you can imagine being tossed in the
way, and the names you seehere on the screen took a stand and
they made sure this story could beshown going to want a film, and
now all of you have the opportunityto continue telling this story. We don't
have big studio money to market thismovie, but we have you, and
(11:22):
the baton has now been passed toyou. You are the storytellers. They
can get people to come see thisfilm in theaters. When you come to
a theater, you experience movies differently. There is no pause button, there
are no distractions. We all havean experience as we watched the film together
as a community. It makes itpossible for strong messages like this one to
(11:45):
take root. Selling the Freedom isa hero's tale, but I'm not talking
about the character I play. It'stheir heroic brother and sister in this film
that work to save each other.They are the true heroes. The most
powerful person in this world is thestoryteller. Together, we have a chance
to make these two kids and thecountless children that they represent the most powerful
(12:09):
people in the world by telling theirstory in a way only the cinema can
do. For a couple of monthswhile Sound of Freedom is in theaters,
these kids can be more powerful thanthe car talking pins, or presidents or
congressmen, or even tech billionaires.We believe this movie or Jeffrey Howard to
be a huge step forward toward endingchild trafficking, but it will only have
(12:33):
that effect if millions of people seeits true. Now, I know it's
weird because we're in the theater,but feel free to pull out your phones
and scale this QR code. Wedon't want finances to be the reason someone
doesn't see this movie. So Angel'sStudios boldly has set up a pay it
Forward program where you can pay forsomeone. So he just explains what this
(12:56):
QR code is for the rest ofthe thing, and what it is is
you keep your phone, you beepit into your phone, and you could
buy tickets for people I'm guessing I'mimagining and um like third world nations or
poor poor folks where these um moviesare being being played. And the other
(13:20):
amazing thing besides all the fucking weepingat the end of the movie is I
looked around when this QR code cameon and he was explaining it, and
everybody's fucking phone went up boop boop, boop boop, and I thought that
that was I thought it was amazing, and I was just kidding about the
(13:41):
crying thing. Everybody was crying andI'm I weep at fucking everything. If
there's a commercial where a soldier comeshome and surprises their family, I'm I'm
a mess, like thirties when thethirty or minute spot is over. Anyhow,
(14:01):
this movie is fucking it's a it'san amazing movie. It's not a
UM it's not an action movie.That's what everyone keeps saying that it is.
It's it's certainly not that. Umbut I'm kind of like getting misty
just we're living this part, thispart of it so uh. At the
(14:22):
end of the movie, it goesthrough the statistics and it's like, hey,
you know, um, all thesethese are the amount of people that
are in sex slavery right now,estimated estimated numbers. And these these are
the countries where they're going. Andthis is the country that um uh has
(14:43):
that turns out the most pedophile contenton the web. Do you know what
country it was? It's America.It's the United States of America. We've
got a fucking porn problem, uh, child porn problem. Fredian slip.
Um Uh. So I'm watching thesestatistics. I didn't copy down the statistics.
(15:05):
I didn't bother to look them up. Um, we're probably gonna run
in. We're gonna run into statisticshere, but they're gonna be a little
bit on the stale side. Umwhen we get to them. I try
to make it obvious with what yearswe're talking about when we're going through.
But the statistics are shocking. Andwhen they said, like, hey,
(15:26):
America is making the most pedophile contentin the in the world, in the
history of the world. Like rightnow, there's another reason where I'm saying
we're the bad guys. We're thefucking bad guys. Uh. Thomas Jefferson
said, um uh. In orderto keep this representative republic, we have
to be immortal people. I thinkthat's gone. I think that's um,
(15:50):
it's gone. Obviously it's not gonefrom everybody, but it's fucking it's gone.
It's gone. These are old,These are antiquid tape ideas. So
okay, enough bullshit, let's getto it. The abercast reacts too.
I already told you it was agreat movie. I'm almost crying just thinking
about the end of it, likeright now. And that's what movies are
(16:14):
good for. They're good form emotionalstuff, right, and this is a
terribly emotional emotional movie. Bring yoursunglasses. That's what I did. As
soon as the movie was over,I put my sunglasses on and I peed
and I got the fuck to mycar as soon as I could. So
(16:37):
here I got. I brought mywrong reading glasses. And so let's see
if I can make this work.We're gonna start out with a dot gov.
Man. What's the name of thisthing? It's a Bureau of Statistics.
The link will be in the shownotes if you're interested in getting a
whole picture. Bureau of Justice Statisticsreleases human trafficking data collection activities. This
(17:04):
is from twenty twenty one and twentytwenty two, so it's not so old.
And this was published at the endof twenty twenty two. Okay,
US Department of Justice, Office ofJustice Programs Bureau of Justice Statistics has released
(17:26):
a report describing their human trafficking datacollection and reporting efforts for twenty twenty one
and twenty two. The report detailsongoing and completed efforts to measure and analyze
the nationwide incidents of human trafficking,to describe characteristics of human trafficking victims and
offenders, and to describe criminal justiceresponses to human trafficking offenses. Additionally,
(17:55):
it provides information on human trafficking suspectsreferred to and executed by US attorneys,
human trafficking defendants convicted in US districtcourt, and administered missions to state prison
for human trafficking. These are thehighlights. A total of two thousand and
(18:17):
one hundred and ninety eight persons werereferred to US attorneys for human trafficking offenses
in the physical the fiscal year twentytwenty, a sixty two percent increase from
the one thousand, three hundred andsixty persons referred in twenty eleven. Sixty
two percent in just about ten yearsincrease. The numbers are bigger even today.
(18:45):
The numbers of persons prosecuted for humantrafficking increased from seven hundred, twenty
nine in twenty eleven to one thousand, three hundred and forty three and twenty
twenty. That's an eighty four percentincrease. The person number of persons convicted
in a federal human trafficking court increasedfrom two thousand eleven, which was four
(19:07):
hundred and sixty four persons, totwenty nineteen, which is eight hundred and
thirty seven persons of the one thousand, one hundred and sixty nine defendants charged
in US district court with human traffickingoffenses in the fiscal year of twenty twenty.
Ninety two percent were mail, sixtythree percent were white, eighteen percent
(19:29):
were Black, seventeen percent were Hispanic, ninety five percent were US citizens,
sixty six had no prior convictions,and at year end in twenty twenty,
for the forty seven states that reporteddata, one thousand, five hundred and
sixty four persons were in custody ofa state prison serving a sentence for human
(19:49):
trafficking offenses. And there's a linkso you can look at the whole report
if you wanted to. Like Isaid, I'll put the link in the
in the shoe Newes. So whatare we talking about? What are we
talking about here? Uh, we'retying this to what we usually talk about
on the show on the show bylinking it to the administration's open quote open
(20:17):
border policy unquote. I found thison msn dot com mm Team Biden middleman
in multi billion dollar migrant child traffickingwhistle blowers reportedly planned to testify. As
a story by Navdeep Yadav April twentysixth I'm guessing this year or last year.
(20:47):
Whistleblower will reportedly tell a House Judiciarysubcommittee during the hearing on Wednesday that
President Joe Biden's administration played a roleof middleman and a multibillion dollar operation involving
the traffic of migrant children. Whathappened? The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration,
(21:15):
Integrity, Security and Enforcement will behearing the Biden Border Crisis Exploitation of
Unaccompanied Alien Children's case to address asurge in unaccompanied children arriving at our southern
border. The subcommittee will hear fromthree witnesses. Tarrelle Rhodes in HHS whistleblow
(21:38):
were formerly with the Inspectors General's Office, Sina Rodriguez, the founder and president
of Alliance for a Safe Texas,and Jessica Vaughan, director of Policy studies
at the Center for Immigration Studies,reported Fox News. The publication, citing
(21:59):
a copy of road As written testimony, said that she will warn of a
problem that predates the administration but hasincreased significantly during the recent migrant crisis.
Rhodas is expected to talk about hervolunteering at emergency intake sites in California to
help the HHS Office of refugee resettlementidentify sponsors for miners who have come across
(22:22):
the border. Quote. I thoughtI was going to help place children in
loving homes. Instead, I discoveredthat children are being trafficked through sophisticated network
that begins with being recruited in theirhome country, smuggled to the US border,
and ends when ORR develops a childto a sponsor, delivers a child
(22:45):
to a sponsor. She's expected tosay whether intentional or not. Well,
let's look at the track record ofthis administration. It can be argued that
the US government has become the middlemanin a large scale, multi billion dollar
child trafficking operation run by bad actorsseeking to profit off the lives of children.
(23:10):
Rodriguez and Vaughan will also call forcongressional action and for the investigation of
federal agencies responsible. So there's thesound of freedom in this movie. He's
the guy playing Tim Ballard is talkingabout the character of Tim Ballard is talking
(23:33):
about the difference between a child anda bag of coke, And he was
like, when you have when thebad guys have a bag of coke,
they can only sell at once.When you have a child, you can
sell that child five or six timesa day. And if that thought doesn't
(23:57):
make you want to throw up,I imagine we're going to come across some
of the crazy shit here in alittle while. Why it matters. President
Biden is fielding criticism from both sidesof the aisle over how his administration is
handling a dramatic rise in border crossingsby unaccompanied migrant miners. According to Customs
(24:21):
and Border Protection data, the numberof unaccompanied children who arrived at the border
has significantly increased from thirty three thousand, two hundred thirty nine in twenty twenty
to over one hundred forty six thousandin twenty twenty one, thirty three thousand
(24:44):
to one hundred and forty six thousandand hunderd a year, and in twenty
twenty two one hundred and fifty twothousand. Has a current fiscal year,
which is a fiscal year of twentytwenty three, more than seventy thousand encounters
of unaccompanied children have already taken place. So in August of August thirtieth of
(25:10):
twenty twenty two, there's this oped human trafficking crisis at the border is
coming to your hometown. Leek willbe in the show notes, hundreds of
thousands of migrants are crossing into ourcountry illegally every day, and our border
has never been less secure. WhenBiden announced the changes in the policy at
(25:34):
our border soon after taking office,millions of migrants flooded our borders to take
advantage of the lax roles entertaining anddisappearing without a trait entering and disappearing without
a trace. Others have attempted toenter the US with ill intentions, engaging
in criminal activity both along the borderand inside the country. Particularly, human
(25:56):
trafficking has become one of the largestissues seeing our border security, with men,
women and children being exploited enforced intolabor against their will. Considered the
modern form of slavery, human traffickinghas become one of the world's most lucrative
businesses, bringing in an estimated onehundred and fifty billion fucking dollars annually for
(26:19):
evil predators. One of the otherstatistics in this movie that they talk about
is this is it's bigger business thanillegal guns, it's bigger business than illegal
drugs, or will be very veryquickly, is this human trafficking Over the
last year and a half under theBiden administration, human traffickers at the borders
(26:44):
have been busier than ever since thePresident practically hung a welcome sign on our
country's front door, it should actuallybe the back door. The This administration
has made it abundantly clear that theyhave no intentions of enforcing the image Gracian
laws currently on the books, hasproven by their destructive policies. In fact,
one of the first actions the administrationtook back in February of twenty twenty
(27:08):
one was reinstating the Catch and Release, this policy that requires the Department of
Homeland Security to release unprocessed migrants intothe United States while awaiting their court hearings.
Additionally, Democrats repeated attempts to endTitle forty two. Along with the
Supreme Court recent rulings that ended theTrump administration's remain in Mexico policy have left
(27:33):
CBP agents toolboxes almost empty. Withoutthese necessary policies, or agents have no
ability to control the influx of migrantsat the border or to properly check their
backgrounds of those entering the country.The number of crossings along the southern border
has reached a new historic highs foreach month that has passed since Joe Biden
(27:56):
took office June of this year.US border authorities processed immigrants over one point
seven million times in this fiscal year, by and large, passing the previous
records set in twenty twenty one,despite they're still being six months left in
twenty twenty two. These historic highis meaning that the number of traffic persons
(28:17):
is rising as well, especially consideringthat in twenty twenty one alone, more
than four hundred thousand migrants evaded apprehension, being counted among the quote gotaways unquote
at the border in just recently,it was revealed in June twenty twenty two
border statistics issued by the US Customsand Border Protection that c PP the encounters
(28:44):
of unaccompanied children increased four percent fromMay, while the average number of unaccompanied
miners taken into CPP custody is averagingseven hundred and fifty two a day.
And tragically, children making this journeyacross the board or alone are most vulnerable
to attackers or to traffickers, theyshould say. The study predicts nearly sixty
(29:08):
percent of unecompanying miners crossing the borderhave been caught by cartels and are being
forced into child pornography and drug traffickingsixty percent. Over my five trips to
the border, I have seen childrenas young as two months old being smuggled
by coyotes across the Rio grand Onmy first trip to McAllen, Texas in
(29:32):
twenty twenty one, I met alittle girl who couldn't speak because our vocal
cords had been severely damaged by gangmembers who've sexually abused her. If you
think this is only happening along theborder, think again. In my district
alone, or largely rural area innorth central Florida, authorities have encountered several
(29:53):
traffickers transporting illegals to various parts ofthe state. Two months ago, Florida
Highway Patrol troopers in my canopy stoppeda coyote from Mexico who's transporting migrants across
state lines. Now in jail onhuman smuggling charges. No matter where you
reside, every town in America hasbecome a border town. This unprecedented humanitarian
(30:18):
crisis is solely the result of Biden'segregious policies. I don't think it's solely
a result, but it's a contributingfactor. It's reprehensible and quite frankly unimaginable
that the administration charged with defending theConstitution and securing our borders could so abashedly
do just the opposite. As amember of the House Homeland Security Committee,
(30:41):
I'm greatively concerned about what is takingplace along our borders, and even more
unnerving is the thought that until Republicansregain that's not even going to stop anything.
All right, I'm abandoning, I'mabandoning this article. We're gonna We're
gonna move on to something else herein just a minute. Um, I'd

All right, Jump into the HeritageFoundation Fighting Human Trafficking and Battling Biden's
(32:34):
Open Border by Hannah Davis, ResearchAssistant, Border Security and Immigration Center.
Hannah is a research assistant in theHeritage Foundation's Border Security and Immigration Center.
Here are the key takeaways. Bidenhas professed a commitment to fight this multifacting
(32:55):
criminal enterprise, yet his immigration policieshave only been exasperated by the problem.
Biden administration has embraced the Trafficking VictimsProtection Reauthorization Act in a way calculated to
increase them. The absence of ordersecurity and conjunction with the non existent interior
(33:17):
enforcement has made the US a fertilebreeding ground for human trafficking. Human trafficking
is a global business, generating onehundred and fifty billion in illegal profits.
It encompasses forced labor, sex trafficking. Oh, we haven't even talked about
(33:37):
the organ trafficking sided US. PresidentBiden has professed commitment to fight this multifaceted
criminal enterprise, yet is immigration policiesheavily exasperated the problem. Human trafficking increased
massively the last fiscal year. Arrestrose fifty percent, convictions soared by eighty
(33:59):
percent, and the vast majority,which is seventy two percent, of those
trafficked in the US are immigrants,and most of them are here illegally.
Many women and children who are highlyvulnerable to being smuggled and eventually trafficked.
A study from the Coalition Against TraffickingWomen estimated that sixty percent of the Unaccompanied
(34:19):
Alien children or UACs are caught bycartels and exploited through child pornography and drug
trafficking. To put it in perspective, more than one hundred and fifty thousand
UACs crossed in our country last year. The Biden administration responded by declaring January
(34:40):
National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. This, of course, did nothing to curb
the problem. That month, fiveeight hundred and eighty two UACs crossed the
border, and increase of more thaneighty percent over the number logged by the
Orangeman administration in twenty twenty. Thedramatic increase can be traced directly to the
(35:02):
Biden administration's open border policy. Onaverage, over twelve hundred UACs are entering
the nation monthly in twenty twenty three. Since taking office, Biden administration has
reported over thirty thousand alien minor encounters. The Department of Health and Human Services
report that between January twentieth, twentytwenty one. In February seventh, twenty
(35:29):
two, it placed nearly one hundredand fifty thousand, one hundred and fifty
thousand unaccompanied children with sponsors in theUS. It has been estimated that this
influx of students will cost school districtsan extra four point six billion dollars annually.
Rather than attempting to lower these largenumbers, the Biden administration has embraced
(35:52):
the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act anda way calculated to increase them. Section
two thirty five of the Act,misleadingly titled Enhancing Efforts to Combat the Trafficking
of Children, grants UAC's special accommodationssuch as exped expedited processing and benefits.
(36:14):
Not surprisingly, after Congress passed theprovision that provision the number of UAC's from
non contiguous countries sword as parents andmore importantly, smugglers realize that in section
two three five all but guaranteed thatany such child who could make it illegally
(36:35):
into the United States would be releasedinto this country, said Andrew Arthur the
Center for Immigration Studies. Section twothree five, coupled with Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro majorcists public statements that we arenot expelling unaccompanied children, has only excited
(36:57):
more enticed more miners into making lifethreatening decisions. The increased flow of UACs
increased the demand for sponsors ie peoplewilling to house and care for these children
so they can be processed out ofHealth and Human service housing. To remedy
this, the administration lowered the standardfor sponsors, slashing the vetting the vetting
(37:22):
process times to meet the deadlines setto meet mister Biden's self induced emergency,
according to HHS whistle blow, wherethe lower standards led to more and more
of these children falling in the handsof Cartel's pedophiles and pimps, many who
were claimed by quote family members unquotethat they had never met and then subjected
(37:46):
to horrendous conditions. To curtail humantrafficking, especially of children, the Trump
administration allowed Immigration and Customs enforcement torun DNA tests on immigrants claiming to be
traveling in amelial units. This programdedicated more than six thou detected more than
six thousand fraudulent families. Even thoughthe program was effective, Biden ended it.
(38:13):
The absence of border security and conjectionconjunction with nonexistent interior enforcement, has
made the US a fertile breeding groundfor human trafficking. The Biden Administration's National
(38:35):
Action Plan to combat human trafficking,probably proclaims pillars principles and priority actions,
but makes no mention of securing theSouthern border. It does, however,
dutifully present ideas regarding equity, inclusion, and gender. The administration persistently presses
leftists talking points, yet fails torecognize an obvious truth. Human trafficking at
(39:00):
and the misery it causes, willcontinue to soar as long as there is
no operational control of the Southern border. Goes on to state, Congress must
act repeal Section two three five ofthe Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. Otherwise,
UACs will continue to head for asouthern border, many encountering human traffic,
(39:23):
human trafficking cartels along the way,and others falling prey to insufficiently vetted
sponsors or family members they do notknow. The Biden Administration's refusal to enforce
humane, effective immigration laws tempts peopleto risk their lives daily. Until this
(39:45):
administration makes common sense policy changes andstarts enforcing the rule of law, the
cartels will continue to control the borderand the people who attempt to cross it.
All Right, and here we're gonnajump into a New York Post a
(40:10):
New York a New York Post articleBiden's border policies facilitate shocking modern slavery.
This is by Jessica Vaughan again umJanuary tenth, twenty twenty three. Wednesday
is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day,an occasion designed to draw attention to the
(40:32):
presence of trafficking in our midst andthe tolls it takes on the victim.
This year, for its most prominentanti traffick trafficking initiative, the Biden administration
is urging the public to mark theday by wearing blue and sharing selfies on
social media. That'll do the trick. We'll have this problem straighten out in
(40:54):
no time. The Biden's border pose, meanwhile, have literally been contributed to
the human trafficking problem every single daysince January twentieth, twenty one, when
the President began dismantling immigration enforcement resultsin the mass migration crisis that continues to
(41:15):
this day. Trafficking is the exploitationor enslavement of someone by force, fraud,
cohersion for labor, domestic servitude,or commercial sets. Law enforcement agencies
report that incidents have spiked in thelast two years, among an astounding two
point two million migrants apprehended in thefiscal year of twenty twenty two. Overwhelmed,
(41:42):
the border agents are told catch andrelease huge groups of illegal migrants,
processing them swiftly, preventing officers fromdoing proper vetting for those apprehended and often
missing the opportunity to detect trafficking.The migrants are deposited into streets in the
cities and the towns of the borderstates, and or transported to destinations around
(42:04):
the country where they are often isolatedand vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking. State
and local agencies ended up having tocope. One Texas sheriff in a county
along the smuggling routes told told arecent conference of officials working to combat trafficking
(42:24):
that before twenty twenty one, isdeputies encountered one or two cases of trafficking
a year. Last year, theydealt with seventy seven cases. The other
horrific scenarios, smugglers persuade parents tohand over their children in pursuit of a
better life, taking advantage of policiesthat virtually guarantee the release of the unaccompanied
(42:45):
minor to a sponsor. In theUnited States, In twenty twenty two,
nearly one hundred and thirty thousand suchminers were released to a sponsor. That
was a new record Under President JoeBiden. The priority is to move the
miners out of government custody as quicklyas possible, rather than conduct meaningful inquiry
(43:07):
into the child's situation or to ensurea miner is placed in appropriate safe house.
Background checks and home visits rarely takeplace. Instead, contractors attempt to
do well check by phone, nota particularly effective way to ascertain if a
child is being trafficked, and aboutone fifth of the sponsors don't respond to
(43:30):
the phone call. According to thestatistics officials gave Congress, these policies created
irresistible opportunity for labor and for sextrafficking to occur. The traffickers promised naive
migrants jobs in the United States andlure them into indentured servitude, peonage,
(43:52):
sex trafficking, extortion, or demandthat they work for the smugglers to pay
off their debts to the traffickers.Some traffickers prey on miners, saying in
the crowded, lightly supervised shelters wherethey cluster after crossing illegally. The kids
fall in with gangs after reaching theirdestination and are sexually assaulted and pimped out
(44:15):
for a profit. A Reuters reportlast month exposed that several Hundikia auto part
factories in Alabama hire dozens of CentralAmerican miners who had crossed the border illegally.
The policies that govern the placement ofminers who arrive unaccompanied are inadequate to
(44:38):
prevent them from being placed in appropriateenvironments that include labor and sex trafficking situations
and participation in the exposure to criminalgangs. These policies have always been inadequate,
in part due to the unmanageable volumeof cases, but have been relaxed
(45:00):
even more by the Biden administration,increasing opportunities for bad actors to exploit the
system. Swift release has been prioritizedover the vetting of sponsors. A loose
regulation of guest worker programs, especiallythe H two A and HT B programs,
also contribute to the trafficking. TheH two A visa is available to
(45:22):
farm workers. The H two Bvisa is available to employers for seasonal unskilled
non farm labor. As one studyput it, it conditions that create vulnerability
for trafficking victimization are built into thetemporary worker visa programs. Under Biden,
(45:43):
the work site audits and raids thatused to catch some of these trafficking situations
have been abandoned. So so it'sall pretty depressing. He's through a depressing
(46:04):
I thought I could end with thishere article that said stopping child trafficking is
everyone's job, says More to Lifefounder Miami, April twenty four, twenty
nineteen. Putting you stop to humantrafficking has always been about prevention, said
doctor Brooks, Bellow, founder ofthe Mortal Life, an open doors outreach
(46:27):
network provider and the nation's leading antihuman trafficking victim recovery program. As human
trafficking levels increasing increase during difficult andchallenging economic periods, especially within families where
children are more vulnerable, Teachers,school nurses, counselors, and other educators
become the most empowered first responders asthey are the best position to identify child

abuse, neglect, and trafficking.During a keynote speech at the Association for
Supervision Curriculum, Curriculum Curriculum Development twentynineteen and International conference, doctor below spoke
(47:14):
passionately on the ever increasing human traffickingproblem, offering antidotes antidutes of her own
life story and the transition from victimto survivor and thriver to champion. As
part of the applause filled speech,below detailed the root causes of human trafficking,
which take on many forms, includingchild abuse, domestic violence, and
(47:37):
ignorance. Below's unique firsthand understanding ofhow teachers assisted her journey by providing her
and other tender aged youths with theguidance and support they require the path to
recovery was amplified when she singled outher own fifth grade teacher who provided the
necessary leadership and the youngsters leadership theyoungsters in today's world needs. The emotionally
(48:04):
charged, tear filled speech offered encouragementto educators who and teachers, and was
truly magnified when she said, thetaste of freedom for the first time is
the taste of the depth of ourhuman souls, and that that's what teachers
give and do every day, sharewhat was, lead, to determine what
(48:28):
is, and give the tools tocreate what will be. Human trafficking is
a serious societal issue and one thatall of us will need to address,
said David Arclis, board chairman ofMore to Life. We can do that
by supporting agencies that work on behalfof the children and victimize and victims of

all ages, and by making surethat we know the signs of human trafficking
and what to do to prevent it. Arclis as a former president of man
