National Discussion Erupts on Child Trafficking Through Film ‘Sound of Freedom’

Good morning, everyone. We're going to be talking about human trafficking today. Quite a bit going on with this. There is a national discussion right now with human trafficking. You have people coming out talking about child sex trafficking. You have Joe Rogan talking about it. You have pretty much all the mainstream sources on it in some way. Tucker just had Andrew Tate on telling his side of the story because he's charged. He's being accused of this stuff as well. It's a very interesting time we're in where we're able to have a national discussion on what I regard as one of the worst crimes there is, but of course, a discussion on it that is, I think, oddly controversial. Why is it controversial to discuss human trafficking and especially child sex trafficking? Let me go into this, folks. We'll start off with what's happening right now with Sound of Freedom. Let me start here. Let me show you Twitter right here. You have a representative. It says this. Those of us in power have an obligation to expose the trafficking of children across our border. Our children are God's most precious gift, and they deserve our full protection. Sadly, Houston is the human trafficking capital of the world. But instead, we can lead the world in ending the horrific crime if we are willing to act. And with this as well, one sec. Yeah, with this as well. This is tying into, of course, the border crisis. Because what you're finding with the border crisis is that the border crisis is being framed as a type of large-scale or mass-scale human trafficking. And I think we're going to have to deal with the idea of how do we define human trafficking. Normally, it is the violation of laws to move an individual. If you are trafficking people who are trying to enter the country illegally, you are a human trafficker. Even if the people are being moved willingly, in other words, if you are facilitating international illegal immigration, in the past, you would be called a human trafficker. This is why the Chinese triads, of course, are accused of human trafficking and found guilty, many of them. It's because they have what are called the snakeheads. The snakeheads are the human traffickers of the Chinese mafia. The snakeheads carry out large-scale human trafficking operations. If you read history, there was, for example, the infamous human trafficking ship called the Golden Venture, which ran aground off the coast of New York. And when it ran aground off the coast of New York, the ship, of course, began sinking, and many people died. It was during winter, and so the waters were very cold. That was the Golden Venture. It's an almost forgotten history, but a really famous case of just devastating deaths due to human trafficking. Now, you could argue, again, that was human trafficking, and yes, those individuals, many of them were being moved, really because they wanted to be. They paid human traffickers to illegally bring them to the United States, meaning they were not being kidnapped. Maybe not, well, maybe some of them were, because, of course, you never know individual cases. They were not being kidnapped for the most part. They were not being moved against their will for the most part. They had paid people to bring them to America illegally. That act is, in fact, called human trafficking. It's the same thing with the Mexican coyotes. Not like the dog coyotes, but like the human trafficker coyotes. It's the name they give to them. The coyotes are human traffickers. This has been accepted for a very long time, meaning that, again, the moving of individuals across country lines in this case is human trafficking, even if it is done willingly on behalf of those being moved. If you have individuals trying to illegally enter the United States, and they pay someone to do it or even just ask someone to do it, yes, that is human trafficking. Once they arrive on US soil, there are individuals, the cartels, or the human traffickers, the coyotes in this case, will hire to then move them domestically. Sometimes these are truck drivers. Sometimes these are kids who, they hire actually like 16-year-old kids now to do it. They hire them through TikTok, by the way. It's one of the main, ironically, one of the main recruiting platforms for this. And they get these kids to do one job and move, let's say, eight people or something like that. That is also considered human trafficking, although it is being done willfully on behalf of those who are being trafficked. In other words, for some reason, we've conflated the idea of human trafficking with the idea of kidnapping and abduction and of slavery. Now, human trafficking does sometimes include those things. And I think that these days, when we think of it, unfortunately, that's what we're thinking of, which is terrible crime, horrible crime as well. But when we get to the idea of the border in particular, right, we talk about the border in particular. What are we talking about? We are talking about the mass facilitating of human trafficking. These are, in fact, people being moved illegally into the country and then being shuttled throughout the country. And yes, for many of them, it is being done willfully. But this is, in fact, by definition, human trafficking. By definition of the law, the same law used to go after the snakeheads, the same law used to go after the coyotes, the same law to go after people previously who were committing human trafficking within the US borders. The governments, the United States government, the unfortunately Border Patrol, local police have been forced to participate in this under state laws, where they have to hand off these individuals to NGOs, which are then engaging in human trafficking by moving individuals. The military, unfortunately, is participating in human trafficking by doing charter flights all around the country of these individuals. The United Nations, UNESCO, yeah, UNESCO is part of it. And also the refugee branch they have, and also IOM, International Organization for Migration, are mass facilitators of human trafficking by engaging in these acts. The State Department, by financing these operations, is guilty by, again, financing human trafficking of the same crime. And of course, the cartels working as middlemen within all this are then collaborating within the entire system. This is, by definition, human trafficking. And the question we're left with as a country now is, is it human trafficking if the government does it? Is it still human trafficking? Well, the technicality is this, is they are abusing the amnesty laws. They have created legal loopholes, which are being taken advantage of. And because they, essentially, because they control the levers of justice, they've manipulated the levers of justice in such a way to legalize their own illegal activity. And that is the unfortunate reality of what we're witnessing. That being said, let me show you one more thing and then we'll jump over to Epoch TV and I'll talk about a few other things, including some of the other cases right now. This is Joe Rogan talking about this. I'll show you just a small clip. This child trafficking thing is real. It has always existed. Did you know that Houston is actually one of the hubs for child trafficking in the US? Really? Yes, it is. Now, how do they find out about child trafficking? Like, what do they do? Anyways, I won't play the whole thing. You can watch the full interview with Joe Rogan where he does talk about that. But my point is there is now a national debate on this. Now, the other thing we're talking about is not just the border. The border's, of course, a big one. But one of the big concerns about the open border is that it is leading to child sex trafficking, which is a whole other issue and one which is utterly horrifying. The film Sound of Freedom, of course, has brought this into the public sphere and the public is now debating on this. We've had a very bizarre situation now where people, ironically, on the more so the liberal side, the Democrats, as opposed to the conservative side, the liberals are claiming for some reason that discussions in child sex trafficking is conspiracy. You've had, for example, many establishment news outlets frame the film, again, Sound of Freedom, as being QAnon conspiracy. And they're painting the idea that the idea that this even exists is in fact a conspiracy, which is utter nonsense. There are plenty of cases of this. I'll mention the grand jury case in Florida right now, which notes not just the mass human trafficking of illegal immigration, but also the way that children are being resettled in ways that significantly expose them to the threat of being sex trafficked. And also noting some of the extremely strange cases in terms of how the children are being moved, noting kids are being moved en masse to things like abandoned lots, to things like areas where there are no buildings, to how do you resettle a child and there's no building there? How do you resettle a child and you're putting the child in a building with maybe a few adult males and like 30 other children? There's not a proper review process of the individuals that are being handed off to. Many of these children are not on the books. And not only are they not on the books, but the books, the ones we do have available, which are difficult to put kids on in general anyways, would be held by ICE, which law enforcement locally is forbidden to work with because of these sanctuary city laws. And so even if you don't have direct engagement in child sex trafficking, you do have the government facilitating it, or at least creating the environment through which it can exist on a massive scale, the likes of which I don't know if we've ever seen. Now, that being said, there's a couple other things, one of them being rape, murder of children. This exists as well. In fact, I reported on a case happening in the Philippines where an Australian man was filming himself torturing children to death on video and live streaming it and selling it to wealthy clients. The individual is currently facing charges in multiple parts of the Philippines. He's been found guilty, at least in one part. When they found him, he had two girls chained up in his house, and they're saying this is conspiracy? This is a charged, legally documented case in the Philippines. Australian man doing this there. I mean, I don't like talking about stuff, but one of the cases of the videos was that he strangled a girl while raping her, strangled her to death on video, while again, recording the video and selling it to wealthy clients. Yeah, that's not real. It's prosecuted. The guy was found guilty of it, and he's facing multiple charges in multiple parts of the Philippines. You have cases as well of, for example, baby farms in Africa, and yes, those exist. They use them for voodoo sacrifice. There has even been cases of them trafficking these children into Europe for that purpose. There are documented, prosecuted cases on this. There have been busts of these in Africa, documented and prosecuted, and for someone to say that that's somehow not real, just because I don't know why, why would you not care about crimes like this? Maybe you're sick in the head. Maybe there's something significantly wrong with you, or maybe you've been so convinced and brainwashed to turn a blind eye to reality because it goes against somehow political interest that you're willing to accept that these crimes can exist and you just don't plain old care. Who was Jeffrey Epstein? What was Jeffrey Epstein accused of doing? Who was Jelaine Maxwell? What was she accused of doing? You could say Jeffrey Epstein was never actually convicted of child sex trafficking, but Jelaine Maxwell was, and Jelaine Maxwell was his associate, and she was charged specifically for doing it with Jeffrey Epstein. So yes, he was convicted, although he died maybe by suicide or maybe by something else before that could be brought to trial, but Jelaine Maxwell was convicted of that. You have individuals on the run from the law, refusing to turn themselves over for being accused of this stuff in relation to Jeffrey Epstein. You have individuals who somehow hung themselves and then shot themselves with a shotgun while hanging themselves, and maybe, I don't know where the gun was, who were again tied in with this as well. And if you, I don't know, maybe you believe that someone could hang themselves from a tree and then while hanging themselves by the neck, maybe you just do the jump holding your shotgun and shoot yourself in the chest somehow. Maybe you believe that's possible. A lot of people don't think that's possible, but there was one case of that as well. Point is, frankly, there is a problem with this, and there is a problem in the reporting on it and how we can even talk about it. There is a problem with this stuff. Who were the clients of Jeffrey Epstein? How do you have someone get convicted of selling minors to wealthy individuals for the purpose of sex? Found guilty, charged, going to prison for 20 years, which Jelaine Maxwell is, but none of the clients are charged. And the clients are documented, and we know through previous arrests of Epstein that there were videos, that there were video recordings in all the rooms at Little St. John, and somehow none of that was brought to light. Yeah, you tell me. That says, jump over to Epoch TV and we'll talk about some other elements with this. For some reason, YouTube censors this stuff. All the more reason to come over to Epoch TV where we don't censor this stuff, and we can have actual discussions on reality. So escape the matrix, I think is what Tucker is saying. Now escape the matrix, come over to Epoch TV, breathe the fresh air of freedom, and get to hear some real news. Again, join me on Epoch TV. Let's jump over now. We'll continue this episode. All right, I want to talk briefly about the different claims on Andrew Tate. Tucker Carlson is going viral right now.
