	While all the news has been about Mitt Romney, Lauren Boebert, Hunter Biden, the ADL, and the never-ending topic of political corruption, there's one topic on social media that won't go away, and that topic is child and human trafficking and the movie that the media hates, The Sound of Freedom.
	Jessica Brothers, an advocate for the eradication of human trafficking, joins us today.
	She is also the partner of The Real Life Pablo from The Sound of Freedom.
	She tells us about how she's fighting human trafficking and how Disney tried to prevent the public from ever seeing The Sound of Freedom.
	Thank you for joining us on this episode of Blood Money.
	♪ Intro Music ♪
	♪ Intro Music Continues ♪
	Alright, welcome to the latest episode of Blood Money TV.
	Today we have a very special guest, Jessica Brothers.
	How are you doing? Wonderful.
	I'm so excited to be here, Vem.
	Thank you. Yeah, thanks for coming on the Blood Money Podcast.
	So you've been working, we met like a little while back.
	You've been working on essentially letting people know what's going on with child trafficking, human trafficking.
	You have a non-profit foundation where I believe your partner is The Real Life Pablo.
	For those that have seen Sound of Freedom, just tell us a little bit about what's going on, what you've been up to and how you've been combating human trafficking.
	Yeah, so absolutely.
	I am the director of the Vegas chapter here for Child Liberation Foundation, which is, as you mentioned, the real-life Pablo.
	His name is Paul Hutchinson.
	And his foundation, Child Liberation Foundation, has actually been alive and funding missions for the past 10 years.
	However, it's been funded privately by him and by his trusted inner circle because he was undercover.
	He was part of many missions, ones that have inspired the movie for Sound of Freedom.
	And yes, bless you.
	So, you know, his 10-year foundation has been private for the past year.
	10 years because it's been funded by himself and his inner circle because he was undercover.
	And about four months ago, he decided to come public.
	And so I am the first one to open up a chapter since he's gone public right here in Vegas.
	I'm the director of the Vegas chapter.
	And with that comes spreading awareness, education, Healing all around child and human trafficking so that we can complete our mission, which is really a complete eradication of human trafficking.
	It's done because people aren't aware of it and people aren't talking about it.
	They don't know what to look for.
	And honestly, a lot of Americans want to believe that it's only happening overseas and it's not happening right here in our own country.
	It is. It is the largest growing criminal enterprise to date right now.
	It's scary. And so, yeah, this movement's important.
	So for somebody that doesn't know what that looks like, I mean, you know, we hear human trafficking, you're saying that it's not just overseas, it's happening over here.
	What does that look like over here?
	How does like, are we talking about children or, you know, adults being purchased by somebody, and then they're in this, you know, essentially form of slavery?
	What's going on? What does that look like?
	Well, to be honest, it is different overseas than it may be here.
	There is the human trafficking or the child trafficking that happens right here in the States.
	And the movie depicts a lot about what happens internationally.
	And yes, do children get taken from the United States and And brought overseas?
	Or are there also, you know, children overseas that are, you know, sold or stolen?
	And just like what you see in the Sound of Freedom.
	So, yes, that does happen.
	The majority of the children trafficking is...
	For sex. However, yes, it is for slavery and working as well.
	What we deal with here in the United States, not that we don't have any of that, but what we deal with is a lot of people not knowing their victims.
	So maybe Young girls who are abused sexually, physically, and they grow up either becoming prostitutes and their pimps are like their traffickers.
	However, they don't see them as traffickers.
	They see them as someone that they trust and they're comfortable with and they don't realize they're even victims.
	A lot of them actually fall in love with their traffickers.
	They become pregnant by them.
	And they don't realize that they're victims.
	Our kids are groomed at a very young age because of social media, because of cell phones, because of their own parents.
	These kids are born into parents who have drug addictions, let's say, and don't have a lot of money.
	So the parents say, hey, why don't you have my child for an hour in exchange for me to get my next fix?
	And that's kind of how more of...
	What you see happening here in the States.
	So being aware of both sides of that, what happens here, what happens overseas, all of it is extremely important.
	All of it is needed to understand and speak about in order, again, to completely put an end to all of this because, you know, as the movie says, God's children are not for sale.
	I mean, how did you get your start in this?
	What was the impetus that put you in this whole world of trying to fight and inform people about human trafficking?
	Wow. So I had a dream about two and a half years ago that when I woke up from the dream, I was a different person.
	It was such a real dream that it happened.
	And part of that dream was my son was trafficked.
	And so I woke up different because I held my son closer.
	I held his hand.
	I talked to my husband at the time about the dream and I was scared.
	I was scared that something like that was going to happen because I've had dreams in the past before that that have come true.
	So that was a dream I did not want to come true.
	However, when it did come true, it came true in a different manner because that's how dreams are.
	My dreams aren't, I'm sure like most dreams, dreams are funny, right?
	Weird things happen, the messages are all weird, but for sure my son in the dream was human trafficked.
	About two and a half years later, I'm at a business mastermind down in Mexico.
	On the last day of the mastermind, I'm sitting at my table.
	They introduced a speaker that happened to be actually sitting at my table.
	Him and his wife were sitting at my table.
	He got called up to the stage.
	He was introduced, and he started talking about his story, about his life.
	Oh, my gosh.
	I started bawling.
	Now, typically I'm not a very emotional person.
	And he started talking about doing these rescue missions and the first time he saw a trafficked child and what it did for his life and changed his life.
	And I was so just engulfed.
	My soul was just pounding.
	I pulled into him and I probably didn't even move.
	I probably didn't breathe.
	I mean, that's ridiculous because it was probably about 30 minutes, but it didn't feel like I even took a breath.
	I was just bawling it.
	And a few times he locked into me when he was speaking.
	When he got off, you know, he sat back down and I just I looked over at them and they smiled at me.
	Well, when the mastermind was over, we started talking and And we ended up spending the next three days traveling through Mexico, going through the pyramids, and getting to know each other.
	And I told him about the dream.
	And I said, I know that I'm supposed to be doing something with you.
	And he said to me, you know, I almost didn't come to this mastermind.
	However... A higher source told me that I had to come because I was going to meet someone that was going to help me with all of this.
	And here we are, collaborating and making this movement happen.
	It was a gift.
	It was a blessed gift.
	Wow, that's amazing.
	So in terms of actual informing people or actionable steps, what are the things that the organization does to inform and stop human trafficking?
	Yeah, absolutely. So not only has it funded a ton of rescue missions that were successful, but it's branching out, not just helping with healing.
	And finding other organizations that are already doing fantastic things and helping them as well.
	So it's not just about what we are doing, but other organizations as well, because the mission here is really to gather our army, Because when you go into darkness, you need that army.
	When you have to shine that light, you need that army.
	So we are right now gathering that.
	Again, for the past 10 years, it's been funding missions, and now we're realizing that the root of all of this is, although those missions are fantastic and needed and well-deserved for all those children, if we want to eradicate Human trafficking.
	We have to go to the root.
	And the root is this. Hurt people hurt people.
	You know, the traumas that we deal with in childhood, most of us don't talk about it, never mind even heal from it.
	And when you're sexually abused, physically abused, or generationally it's passed down to you that That trauma and that abuse, one of the paths that men and women follow, mainly women, go down into prostitution, which then they're brought into sex trafficking and become trafficked.
	The men go into pornography, pedophilia, become traffickers.
	They're dark roads.
	And if we can start healing men and women before they hit that road, Because of the trauma they've been through or the adults currently before they pass it on to their children, then we can stop human and child sex trafficking just by,
	again, spreading that awareness, Changing our education system, bringing education, and once again, healing modalities by collecting our army and creating this movement that we're doing.
	Another thing we're doing is, I keep talking about this movement, is we are doing a tour.
	So we will be visiting states doing a tour and talking about Everything and more and a lot of detail about how people can help, how we're educating people, how we're bringing awareness, what to look for, just a whole array of things around human and child trafficking.
	And on top of that, what we're doing is we're giving back to the people because we want them to walk away with something for wanting to make an impact in the world and helping us with that.
	So we're helping people create their legacy in return.
	And that is our movement.
	Are you finding support out there through politicians, other organizations?
	100%, 100%, like anything in this world, there's two sides.
	Like I said, there's two sides to everything.
	There's the dark side and there's the light side.
	And for sure, the people that are in the light that support this because they're in the light, they are coming through, some more carefully than others.
	But yes, we are definitely finding support and a lot, a lot of support quite fast.
	I mean, this sort of thing, mostly you're saving women and children, right?
	Yes, when it comes to saving, however, it's needed on both sides.
	So these men and women are the ringleaders as well.
	Most people wouldn't realize that, but women are trafficking children as well.
	They're even grooming kids to traffic other kids.
	So it's not just the victims of the trafficking that we Want to educate and heal, but it's also the people committing these crimes.
	Obviously, justice needs to happen.
	However, the healing as well, the pedophiles, the people headed down that road, they need healing as well.
	It needs to happen on both spectrums, both sides.
	Yeah, I mean, what does a rescue mission look like in terms of, I mean, are you guys literally funding people to kick down doors and rescue children and women, or how does that work?
	Yeah, that's exactly what Paul was doing.
	I've never personally been on a rescue mission, so I'll speak about what I've known from stories that Paul has told me.
	He shared quite a few.
	Definitely I would look him up and he's all over media right now, social media, YouTube.
	He's everywhere right now.
	He's got some really amazing, incredible stories.
	We're actually having an event right here in Vegas in a couple days where he will be there.
	Sharing stories and every dollar that comes into Child Liberation Foundation 100% goes towards the missions.
	And so those missions basically, yeah, they're funded.
	They're sting operations, right?
	This crew will go undercover.
	Find the ringleaders, make friends with them like they're buying the children, get the children in a room, but in a safe room like they're having a sex party, per se, and they will infiltrate and take out the perpetrators and then rescue the children and bring them back for help.
	That's pretty much what it looks like.
	When you say take out the perpetrators, arrest them or kill them?
	No, no, no. Arrest them.
	Bring them to justice. Do you find that a lot of these individuals do serious time for what they've done?
	What is the punishment for their crimes?
	Yeah, I guess that depends on where they go, right?
	Are they always brought to the US? Are they brought to their own country?
	That depends on that.
	I don't personally know what sentences have been given.
	That's a great question and I know that you will be interviewing Paul and that would be a question to ask him because that is a fantastic question.
	Yeah, tell us a little about this event on Saturday that you guys have in Vegas.
	Yes, so we're doing a red carpet showing for the Sound of Freedom movie.
	And so we rented out the Brendan Theater at the Palms Resort and Casino.
	And we have two different ticket levels, and it's a red carpet.
	And Paul Hutchinson will be there, and a few other guests will be there as well.
	And basically, it starts at 4 p.m.
	here, and from 4 to 5.30, we have a whole red carpet.
	I have a red carpet host who will be doing the interviews.
	There'll be photo ops.
	There'll be networking. There'll be Paul speaking, telling stories.
	That whole nine yards, that whole red carpet experience is It's going to be beautiful.
	We're going to raise money.
	Again, everyone who buys a ticket, every cent of that goes to Child Liberation Foundation right here in Vegas so that we can, as director here in Vegas, we can really, since we're one of the top four hotspots for human trafficking, we can really bring a lot of awareness and And again, healing here to Vegas.
	So that money is going to be used right here in our community.
	And then after the red carpet event, we all watch the movie together.
	And after that, Paul will be doing a Q&A for anyone who has questions about the movie, whatever they'd like to ask him.
	And then anyone who buys a VIP ticket will go to a, and those are limited tickets, will get to go to a private dinner with Paul and whoever else is in the VIP. Yes.
	And so you're saying Vegas is a hotspot for human trafficking.
	Is that like for sexual purposes mostly because there's a lot of wealthy people coming into this town and whatever I guess happens beyond closed doors?
	Yeah, I mean, most of it is, for child trafficking, is sexual.
	It is. However, once they get sold, they get sold around.
	They may get sold a couple times, and depending on their owner, depends on what they're doing.
	They could do both. They could be working during the day and having to do sex favors at night, you know?
	And, I mean, it all varies from Whoever is taking them and wherever they're going, wherever they're sold.
	What do you find the most challenging part of your job?
	People want to talk about it.
	People just, they go like this.
	I don't even want to hear it.
	You know what I say? Imagine being the one living it.
	Imagine that was your child.
	Would you want to talk about it then?
	I bet you'd want to ask for help.
	And I understand it is a dark topic.
	However, if we don't talk about it and we keep turning our face to it, it's just going to grow and grow and grow.
	And we will all eventually be a victim to it in one shape or form.
	I mean, do you find that like in terms of the mainstream media, they've been quite silent about this topic?
	I mean, is that one of the big issues why people just don't know what's happening?
	Yes, 100%.
	Mainstream media is not public.
	It's owned.
	It was bought out decades ago.
	It used to be that the public owned, you know, the media, the free space of the media.
	It was publicly owned and it was bought out.
	And I'm sure we can I don't know who it was bought out by and just by the way it's controlled and what we're told.
	And anyone who doesn't want to talk about it, anyone who doesn't want to support it, leaves me suspicious on their part in that business.
	And so, I mean, you see mainstream media, Hollywood, there was all this stuff with projectors falling apart, coincidentally, right before Sound of Freedom, theaters being closed.
	I mean, was that all part of this cover-up?
	Do you feel like they were trying to cover up the movie, discourage people from going?
	Absolutely. I mean, I'll come right out and tell you what I've been told about Sound of Freedom.
	Sound of Freedom was done about five years ago.
	It was finished. And during that being finished, Fox International was 100% on board.
	They actually gave some money to Sound of Freedom.
	Are you talking about finished shooting or finished written?
	Finished shooting. Oh, wow.
	When it was ready to be put into the theaters about five years ago.
	Wow. And Fox International had invested some money, and they were all on board about marketing and bringing this worldwide.
	In the meantime, before they could actually do that, Disney bought out Fox International.
	And Disney said, we want nothing to do with this.
	We want our money back. So Sound of Freedom had to give the money back.
	And of course...
	So they were going to struggle with it unless somebody paid for it.
	Absolutely. Okay.
	So Paul told me he stepped in for some more money.
	He was the largest investor in that movie.
	And basically, so they brought it to Netflix.
	They brought it to Amazon.
	Everyone said no. They want nothing to do with it.
	They brought it to some major Hollywood producers.
	Nobody wanted anything to do with it.
	And it was some time before they realized they had to go grassroots and found Angel Studios.
	And they gave Angel Studios distribution rights.
	And then you saw what happened.
	It was all done kind of through very little, if any, marketing.
	Very little marketing. Through a movement.
	A lot of word of mouth.
	And some theaters wouldn't even...
	Show it. And yes, as you just spoke about, a lot of theaters, the AC was going out.
	The projectors weren't working.
	Who knows? I don't have the truth up to why that was happening, who was being told what to do.
	However, to me, it's obvious to...
	To some conclusions that, you know, some people were being told, you know, look, whether it was threats or people weren't on board and they really didn't want to show that they weren't on board, whatever it may be.
	I mean, when was the last time you saw that happen to a movie?
	Yeah, totally. I mean, it's clear that they've been trying to, you know, at least subdue the effect that this movie's been having.
	You know, and you notice this phenomenon like where, you know, the guy that wrote the Rich Men song, right?
	You know, all the articles are negative and they're trying to suppress it, but there's this kind of brewing...
	Consensus of the people, regardless of all the stuff they did with Sound of Freedom, still made over $100 million.
	People still know about it.
	It still broke through.
	And that seems to be happening more and more now.
	Is that having the effect that we'd want it to have in terms of people actually waking up to what's going on, realizing, hey, our media is most likely controlled by a lot of bad people that want to hide horrible things like child trafficking?
	I think people should be aware of that.
	I do. And it's not about choosing sides, but it is about choosing sides.
	Do you want to do better or do you want to be part blindly of something, you know, negative and bad in the darkness?
	I mean, people should wake up to it.
	People need to wake up to it because a lot of people are blind to it.
	A lot of people are walking around in trances supporting it and not even realizing it.
	And I know that if they realize they're supporting it, My hope is many would choose, if not all, would choose not to.
	So, yeah, I do believe all of this should be exposed.
	100%. I mean, if people out there want to take action, other than supporting organizations like yours, is there things that they should disconnect from?
	Is there things that they should, I don't know, hold protest against in order to help us move towards an era where this thing is eradicated?
	So these are my personal opinions, okay?
	And number one, this is what I would do.
	I would homeschool my child.
	I would be very careful, especially around age-wise, how much they are available to the internet, to a phone, to all of that, social media.
	I would wait till they're older, 18.
	I know that seems ridiculous.
	However, until that point, definitely be very in their life.
	Hug them more. Love them more.
	Connect with them to the point where your kids feel like they can actually talk to you.
	Because it's that disconnection in families that creates a huge possibility for risks or for your children to be at risk.
	Also, what I would like to do is have everyone stop supporting Disney.
	Have people stop supporting Netflix and Amazon.
	Have people stop supporting the big Hollywood producers.
	Because all of that, all that money is...
	I would think a lot of it, or at least a portion of it, let's just be conservative here, goes towards the business.
	I mean, we all saw how Epstein Island went down and how that was used for taxpayers' money.
	I mean, look where our tax money went.
	It went towards the business.
	I can only imagine what companies like Disney and like Netflix and Amazon.
	Now, I'm not saying they're in the business.
	I'm just going by, why are they not supporting this?
	Especially someone like Disney.
	Why is Disney not supporting a movie like Sound of Freedom when they're supposed to be for kids?
	And trying to subdue it and trying to hide it shelving the movie.
	I mean, another question that brings up, you know, we've heard, you know, Me Too movement, you know, the rise of third wave feminism.
	Has those groups been supporting?
	Yeah, that's a great question.
	That I do not know if they have.
	And that is something, now that you brought that up, that I want to look into.
	I like to know things.
	Yeah, it's interesting.
	So, Jessica, in closing, is there anything we didn't talk about that you'd want to mention for the viewers out there?
	You know, the mic's yours. Wow.
	Yes. Yeah. Thank you.
