Cutting the Trees 00:03:40
Welcome to Making Sense of the Madness.
I am Jason Burmes.
Today we're going to talk about the Freedom Foundation with Aaron Witt and America's Future with Sylvia Amon.
Stay tuned and get ready to make sense of the madness.
Every house had a tree in front of it.
And at some point, the city started cutting the trees out.
They said that the helicopters couldn't see people.
So they start.
What, the police helicopters?
Yeah.
Yeah, so they start cutting the trees out.
Three decades and billions of dollars later, it's still a tough place.
How do you think politicians in Los Angeles have done running the city?
It's pretty much the same people running it the same way.
Politicians only really pay attention to the people that give them money.
Everybody else is kind of an extra in your movie.
We love you in the same way.
We can do the same house.
Do you ever give money to politicians?
No.
What?
I don't believe in politicians.
Politicians have hidden agendas.
They owe a lot of people a lot of favors.
The more money you give them, the more you're listened to.
Powerful words from Ice Cube, who is reaching across political parties to show the corruption within the system.
That is just a small excerpt of an excellent Tucker Carlson piece in which he calls out all of the previous administrations from the Barack star, whom he really had hoped for and was wishing for change, to Bill Clinton, the Bushes, both George Sr. and Jr., even Reagan, all the way down to Jimmy Carter.
And we have to understand why.
Systemically, they do not want a powerful, informed middle class.
Instead, they want a destructive system of utter subsistence.
That's what an ultimate UBI universal basic income scheme is about.
Your dependence on a system that wants to outright act like it's being benevolent, like it's being your savior.
And what has happened in the last several years in cities like Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York?
Have they improved?
No, they have visibly gotten worse.
So we really need to take a step back and figure out how we're going to change this country and make freedom our future.
We're going to take a short break, and we're going to talk about that and more with Aaron Witt after this.

Banks are supposed to be the safest placeholders for cash in the world, but in 2022, that changed.
The Federal Reserve pulled out 2.5 trillion of liquidity out of the banks.
And the Fed also changed the requirements so banks don't need to keep any funds on hand.
This means banks are starved for liquidity and have now become very dangerous places to hold your assets.
Get out of this system with the world's safest and most private assets, silver and gold.

Funded by the dues deducted from the paychecks of unsuspecting public employees, the Freedom Foundation has helped 100,000 workers leave their unions.
That's $150 million back in the paychecks of firefighters, teachers, and other public employees.
Will you be a part of the next 100,000 opt-outs?
Visit freedomfoundation.com to learn more.
And now to discuss the Freedom Foundation is the author of Freedom is the Foundation, Aaron Wyth.
Aaron, when did you first become aware that unions weren't really set up in most cases to help their workers?
Yeah, thank you for having me on, Jason.
Good question.
So I started at the Freedom Foundation in 2015.
And at the time, I was going door to door telling public employees that they could leave their unions and stop paying union dues.
And you'd be shocked at some of the stories that I heard when speaking to these people.
Most of them had no idea that the unions were taking their money.
Most of them had no idea that they could leave their unions.
And they had no idea also of what the unions were doing with their money.
That is a key piece to all this because unions take literally $1,100 a year out of the average public employees' paychecks and funnel it onto their liberal political agenda.
Well, I think that's a key point.
And, you know, just recently, New York State, for instance, has doubled down on this transgender ideology, what utilizing taxpayer dollars.
And I would, you know, coming from New York, I did have to get out of there during the COVID-19 44 nightmare.
I can tell you, not everybody thinks like somebody in New York City.
And there are plenty of people that are pushing back on this agenda.
Yet our tax dollars, like it or not, are going forward with this.
Yeah, so you look at the woke ideology, the critical race theory, the sex ed coming out of our inner city schools.
I mean, this is the agenda of the teachers' unions.
These are the people literally writing the playbook on what they should be indoctrinating our kids with.
In New York City, you just mentioned, they're now pushing this transitionary rhetoric onto kids, onto boys, trying to convince them they're girls, onto girls, trying to convince them that they're boys and help them, quote, transition through that.
The city of New York has now implemented the National Education Association's guidelines on doing that, which involves keeping parents out of the process.
In fact, that's a big part of it.
So our teachers' unions today, their goals are really political.
They are social.
They're social warriors, and their goals are to indoctrinate our kids with their political ideology, not to prepare them for the next generation, not to prepare them for the next steps in their lives, whether that be higher education or the workforce.
Now, as a kid, I read Upton Sinclair's The Jungle and the Necessity for Workers to Unite Against Oppressive Conditions.
Unions haven't always been bad.
And if that's the case, when did they start to be co-opted?
Yeah, so there's a key difference here in private sector versus public sector unions.
So private sector unions were founded really in the early 1900s when you had kids dying in the coal mines, when you had people working 70-hour weeks on the steel mills, literally dying on the job.
At that time, private sector unions came about to represent the workers and to stop these terrible working conditions.
But government unions, they've never operated in that way.
They have existed to protect the worst of the worst public employees.
And what they do is they take dollars from public employees' paychecks and funnel it into liberal politicians' campaign funds.
Then when they elect them into office, they cut deals with them to grow the size of government, to raise taxes so that they can get more union dues and give the politicians more money.
It's a total scheme in the public sector and a scheme that hasn't been stopped in over 60 years.
So I guess the big question is, how do we stop it?
Or how does one individually get themselves out of this situation?
Yeah, so the way that you do it is you cut off the revenue stream at the source.
Each of these public employees is paying about $1,100 a year in union dues.
Most of those dues dollars are going towards lobbying, going towards political gifts and gifts to liberal nonprofits to pursue their political agenda.
So what we do at the Freedom Foundation is we tell every public employee in America that they can leave their unions and stop paying union dues.
And when you do that, you put $1,100 a year back in the hands of people and out of the hands of the union's radical political agenda.
Well, what the big question is, is how are they going to do that when there's so much pressure to stay within the union?
Don't some of these people have their jobs and their literal livelihoods threatened?
Yeah, so there are definitely threats made by unions.
They lie, they cheat, and they steal to try and extract this money from your average public employee.
But the bottom line is these people's rights are protected by the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court made a decision called Janice v. AFSME that gave every public employee in America the right to leave their unions and stop paying union dues.
Since that decision, over 700,000 workers, that's about 10% of the overall unionized population, have left their unions and gone to work and put that money back in their pockets.
So we're seeing a culture shift across workforces across the country, and it's only getting more and more every single year.
Now, obviously, you're a take-action guy forming the Freedom Foundation.
Take us through that process because what?
You said 2015, you're not quite a decade old.
It's not easy just to start these things, and it's not easy to get into the public arena.
Tell us about that process.
So the Freedom Foundation was founded in the early 90s as a Washington state traditional think tank.
And up until 2014, it did a lot of advocacy for conservative issues in Washington state.
The problem in Washington state was that the people that could actually enact these changes, these reforms that were being advocated for, they were all controlled by government unions.
So my predecessor, Tom McCabe, he came in in 2014 and said, okay, we're going to stop advocating for property rights and Second Amendment rights and all these other marathons issues.
And we're going to focus on the source of the problem, which is government unions.
So I came in shortly after in 2015 and helped extend Tom's vision from Washington State into all 50 states.
Now the Freedom Foundation is laser focused on fighting government unions across all 50 states and putting the power back in the hands of people and out of the hands of a few radical union bosses.
Well, that consolidation is probably what's allowed you to do that.
Talk about some of your bigger victories.
Yeah, so Oregon is a state that we've been operational in for a long time.
And people look at Oregon, they see Portland.
They see a deep blue failing state.
I can tell you in Oregon, most of the people in that state do not operate the way that people in Portland do.
So what we did is we launched this massive campaign where we went to public employees' homes.
We went to their offices.
We sent them mail.
We sent them emails.
We did digital marketing, texting, phone calling, basically any way that you can think of to tell public employees that they can leave their unions and stop paying these union dues.
And as results of that campaign, we helped today over a third of all state employees now no longer pay union dues to the SEIU, which is the Service Employees International Union in the state of Oregon.
And what happened then is that the local unions stopped being able to give as much money to politicians.
So their political contributions declined 70% during the same timeframe.
So now what started to happen in Oregon is they've started to export union dues from places like Illinois, from New York, from New Jersey, to send their union dues dollars into places like Oregon.
So what we figured out is that this campaign works.
You can and easily get people, convince people to opt out of their unions, but you have to do it nationwide in order to have meaningful change, which is why we started now contacting employees in every state in America.
Well, it seems to be that way.
When you're doing this, what's the pitch?
Because obviously these people are saving money and you're taking money out of the pockets of corrupt politicians.
Why would anyone want to stay in these unions unless their political values completely align with the unions?
And even if they do completely align, wouldn't you rather give money to a politician directly than have it funneled through a union?
I mean, the bottom line is this.
Most people are not political donors.
They're not of a political donor class.
So the pitch that we make to people is simple.
Would you rather have $1,100 a year going to a union that can then dictate what they do with it?
Or would you rather spend it on gas, on groceries, on a vacation, on Christmas presents?
I mean, you go through the list with Biden inflation right now.
Every dollar counts.
So when we're making the pitch to people, we're just telling them you can opt out of your union.
You can put this money back in your pockets.
You're going to lose no benefits that are put in your contract.
You're just going to have this extra money in your pocket.
And when you can articulate that to people, they'll opt out in droves.
The biggest issue that we have is scalability.
There are 7 million public employees in America that belong to four unions today.
So you have to go and contact every single one of them and tell them that they can leave and articulate this message to them.
Well, that's certainly a daunting task.
Now, I would imagine that the vast majority of these unions are very much in alignment with SDGs and ESGs and really this global agenda.
Can you go into that?
Yeah, so I mean, the agenda of the unions, I mean, you'd think they'd just limit themselves to issues that relate to their members, but it's been sad the past few years to see how far their agenda goes.
We've talked a little bit about the teachers' unions and sex ed and CRT and all the rest of it and indoctrinating our kids.
But frankly, that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what the unions want to do.
Bottom line is this.
They want every person in America to rely on government for government services.
Because when that happens, they're able to hire more public bureaucrats to deliver those said services.
And they monopolize markets by doing that.
The problem is this is America.
We have a thing called capitalism.
And the free markets can provide far better benefits than anything that the public sector can deliver.
So we're not going to shift towards socialism the way that the unions want us to, but that's their agenda.
That's what they're pushing with the politicians that they get into office.
And that's why we need to combat this so that America can stay free, prosperous, and keep this capitalist system, economic system that we have.
Well, with the sustainable development goals, I mean, that sustainability is literally a code word for your standard of living plummeting as, you know, the top of the line are enriched.
You have less freedom.
And the WEF is not kidding when they say, hey, you're going to own nothing and you're going to be happy about it because they want a docile, dependent populace.
We got to take a break.
We're going to come back.
I want to talk about the book and much more.

Unions and Education Funding 00:09:39
We are back with Aaron Wythe of the Freedom Foundation, and now we're going to talk the book.
Freedom is the foundation.
Obviously, this book is inspired by your work with these unions.
What can people expect when they turn the pages?
Well, Jason, you kind of mentioned it in our last segment in that America is moving towards this socialist environment.
And I was born and raised in Birmingham, England.
And England, for those people that haven't lived there, is basically a socialist country today.
It's a place where they tax the lower class, they tax the middle class as much as they possibly can, and they make these people rely on the government for services.
I mean, you look at socialized medicine.
I mean, that's been in England since I can remember.
And then the result of that is you have to pay taxes on everything from owning a television to a flat 17.5% sales tax on every single purchase that you can make.
The problem here is that this is the agenda of the unions.
This is the agenda of the radical left is to turn America into England.
And that's what gets us on fire at the Freedom Foundation for our work.
And the book is a documentation of how we can stop America heading in this direction, but we have to remove the influence of government unions from politics in order to do that.
Well, when you talk about a socialized nation, you talk about socialized health care.
Hey, I want to believe that we should get free health care, right?
But this COVID-19 nightmare showed the type of health care that they're going to give you.
In other words, if they say so, they're going to restrict you from having something like ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D, vitamin C when it comes to COVID.
Instead, you get a ventilator or remdesivir.
Can you speak to those type of dangers of socialized medicine and really socialized care and education in general?
Yeah, it's sad to watch because I still have family back home in the UK that have been subject to some of these conditions.
I've had family members that have had to wait years for just simple testing.
I've had family that has had to wait years for treatment on bad diseases because that's what the government dictated.
In America, you can go to your doctor and you can dictate the direction that you want to go.
And if you don't like them, you can fire them and go and look for another one.
I mean, that's one of the beauties that we have in America.
And I'm not saying that the American healthcare system is perfect by any means.
However, it gives me a lot of confidence to know that I can choose the direction of my healthcare and not have the government dictate that to me.
Because in England, in other countries, these people can literally dictate whether you live or die based on how much it's going to cost them to look after you.
That's not a system that I want to be involved in.
And it literally costs people lives.
So that's what we want to move against in America.
We want to keep America as a place that operates in the free market economy that has capitalism, that allows for freedom for us to make decisions with our dollars, with our lives, without government interference.
You know, I'm curious because right now, you know, you talked about the difference between unions in the private and government sector, and really the government sector is your focus.
Right now, you have the Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild striking in Hollyweird.
And a lot of it has to do with artificial intelligence, which is set to be a major disruptor in a number of industries.
Now, on this one, I am certainly with the actors, actresses, and writers in the sense that they're now saying they have the right to have their digital likeness in all sequels, that they can use deep fake voice and video technology in perpetuity and not pay these people.
I'd love to get your view on what's happening with that union.
Yeah, I think you're right.
In the private sector, you know, there are a lot of unions that do a lot of bad, but there are also some unions that do good.
And in this instance, the unions representing, you know, all these actors and actresses to protect themselves and protect their livelihoods, basically, against an industry that wants to destroy that.
So I have no beef with what the unions are doing, as you say, in Hollyweird right now.
There are a lot of private sector unions across America that are doing good, but in the public sector, these people are not protecting public workers that are having any kind of workforce disputes like these actors are, having any kind of workforce disputes like they were in the early 1900s in the coal mines.
I mean, if you go and walk around your state worker building, you'll probably find that these people are living, that are working in a pretty good environment today compared to other places.
So these people, what these unions are doing, they're protecting the worst employees that frankly should be fired from public service.
And I'm not saying that because I have anything against public employees.
There are people in every probably industry, every company in America that should be fired for underperformance.
But in the government sector, it's next to impossible to fire some of these public employees, which is the problem.
You know, I want to talk about the school unions in particular and not so much about the transgender issue, but again, the AI issue.
My brother's wife is a teacher.
And right now, they have been sat down in meetings and saying, we're going to start using ChatGPT.
And the rub is, of course, the unions want this, but it's to get funding.
Now, it's voluntary, of course, but they won't get the money otherwise.
This is often how they slide these policies in is they say, well, you don't have to do it, but you're not going to get the money.
And then eventually enough people do take the money that it becomes mandatory.
Yeah, that's right.
We saw that during COVID as well, where the teachers' unions were pushing for hundreds of millions of dollars to be put into our public schools to protect our kids.
In actual reality, most of that money wasn't even spent.
And it certainly wasn't spent getting our kids back in the classrooms.
In fact, the unions did just about everything they could to keep our kids out of the classrooms.
As it relates to AI in the schools, I mean, my wife was a public school teacher up until recently.
And these kids don't need to learn.
These kids don't need to have AI.
They need to be learning how to do reading, writing, and math, not have a computer to do it for them.
But back to the teachers' unions.
Yeah, their agenda has been anti-education, anti-looking after our kids that we saw during COVID.
All it's about is increasing public school funding so that they can hire more bureaucrats to take more union dues from.
They have a direct incentive to not improve education because when they can do that, it means that they can funnel more funding into the public schools and get more union dues.
And that is a massive incentive problem.
Yeah, it's insane that the worse you do, the more money you seem to get.
So financially, it's an incentive not to do that great.
Obviously, we should have a system that's the opposite.
But at the same time, when you're talking about these children learning the basics, I would argue that that has everything to do with the unions, especially during COVID-19, when they were the ones that didn't want in-person learning, when they were the ones that were fighting after it was clear that the COVID-19 4 nightmare should be declared over to still stay at home.
We saw a lot of that in New York or to continually forcibly mask and torture children.
We lived through this.
We allowed this.
How do we never allow it again?
You got to hold the teachers' unions accountable and Congress needs to be doing more, frankly, to hold them accountable because you had one special interest group in America that was able to keep kids out of schools for two years in some places, mask our kids.
Literally, I mean, our kids' education has declined massively.
But on top of that, the mental health, I mean, the damage that was done there, we're going to be measuring for decades.
And this was all the agenda of the teachers' unions.
There's been zero accountability there.
I think Congress needs to act.
They need to find out exactly what the teachers' unions were doing during this time.
And they need to hold them accountable for their actions.
And I think one of the ways to do that is to advocate for allowing more charter schools in America, for making other types of schooling more accessible to parents.
Because the bottom line is this, when public schools have a monopoly on our kids' education, there's no incentive to reward performance.
But when you have parents that can take their kids into different type of schooling environments, that's when you create a free market system where the best schools are going to have the most kids.
They should have the most funding and they'll deliver the best quality products.
And if they don't, the parents will take their kids elsewhere.

It's their world, not ours.
Yet precious lives are in danger from child predators and traffickers.
And not a whisper is heard.
This must end.
You can help.
Get in the fight.
Let's end child exploitation and trafficking.
The time to strike is now.
We are back.
And now to talk about the summit going on on August 17th is Sylvia Amin.
Sylvia has been a longtime missionary throughout Central America and beyond.
Sylvia, thank you so much for joining us.
Before we get into the summit, tell us how you got involved in your missionary work and what you've seen over the last almost three decades.
Thank you for having me.
Yes, I've been a missionary for over 30 years.
So over 70 years ago in one of my mission trips in South American Peru is when it was the first time I encountered human trafficking and the community talking about it, complaining, talking about the quantity and the amount of how many Americans coming into and girls disappear.
I didn't understand what it was human trafficking.
I didn't know anything about it.
But something was a little sad on me when I came back home here.
As I investigated, checking, we didn't know anything about it.
All we know is about prostitution.
So my curiosity and my prayer led me into cover so many dark role, little by little through years and years, and to get involved in so many a little bit crazy stuff but amazing stuff on it, working with girls, rescuing girls, working with organizations and continuing to work to in different countries also too, and just to become now a part of it, bringing awareness, talking about it.
And now it's just that Pandora Box open less than 10 years ago, literally to understand the differences between prostitution and what is human trafficking and what is going on in today's state and where we are.
So it's been a lengthy years that I have been keep learning, seeing the process government to communities, education all over uh, different facets of it of how affected our children are, women in our own community.
Let's talk about that initial process, because you, you mentioned the fact that so many of the uh clients are from the United States Of America and obviously uh, this is taking place in south central America and beyond.
So what were people telling you was happening and how prolific was it amongst U.s citizens?
Yes yes, and that continued to be the problem until today.
The consumers worldwide uh, the demand worldwide is the Americans, United States Americans, anywhere from this uh, any state on this country.
So even myself, being there in Peru, being there in the jungles, I encounter a lot of Americans and I was concerned you know, of course it's jungles, other other issues with drugs and things like that anyway too.
But um, when the local people were keep telling me our girls is disappearing, our girls I don't know where they are.
Uh, they're being raped and abused.
A lot of children looks more Americans, the local people.
So that was a concern for me.
I was like, oh my god, they're so pretty, but why they're so white, you know, and blue eyes and things like that.
So there is a season of human trafficking for every single country, especially Central America, South American, Caribbean countries, where is a prominent, with men and women.
We go searching for children, for boys, of girls, in every country and unfortunately yes, the number one consumer, the number one um seeking and paying whatever it is, is an American and encounter so many Americans every country that I got I had going on it and see them walking with little kids around it like nothing in it, and people don't realize that that child has been trafficking.
And let listen to the community, my desires my, my thing, that it has done for years, is be more sharp in my listening and understanding what the people are telling me and listening to, taking consideration of really what is going on and nobody is helping and nobody is doing anything.
Uh, because money talks.
Money make the sense in people poverty.
Maybe Also, too, is one of the reasons in the third world countries, too, but not because they wanted the child to be trafficking, but that's one of the big issues, also, too.
But yeah, even talking to Americans when I've been there, what are you doing?
Tourist area, yeah, but when you are with a child, oh no, yeah, it's just my friend's children.
So, casualty conversations like that helping me to understand.
Wow, in those days, I didn't understand very well over 17 years ago.
But little by little, as I went back onto the same areas that I have been before, and I have seen that and talking with local, talking with missionaries, talking with people there, or even in the schools I have served, just making sense between one side and the other side of the aspect of what's going on there and comparing for what is going on or what it was not going on there in those days here in this country at the moment.
It was different than what it was 17, 18 years ago, than what we have today, which now is a huge open box everywhere.
Well, I definitely want to talk about the growth of this, but I think it's interesting that you're talking about how cavalier and out in the open these sex tourists are.
And I think it's also interesting to discuss that, you know, the victims of this abuse and of this rape often have children.
And you talked about a multitude of these children with blue eyes and blonde hair.
I mean, that is a stark indication of who the clientele is.
So, how have you seen over the last 17 years this disturbing industry grow?
It has grown in the sense that it's open now.
Laws keep changing for the good and for the bad, especially today's generation that we are.
Openly, there's more the media.
Unfortunately, it helps and it doesn't help for where we are.
In the old days, it used to be under the radar kind of thing, used to be different things.
We used to think about the brothers, it was only in other countries.
But with my organization that I have it, we educate the hotels because as I keep coming and changing things, our brothels here in the United States is our hotels, motels, little restaurants in the middle of the night, little massage parlors.
So, it's everywhere, unfortunately.
But in the old days, you only find the girls in the corners.
They're all prostitutes, they all were considered prostitution.
Maybe in the street clubs, barely, but you always were somebody with a guy, somebody who would take care of the girl.
But now, today it's everywhere, it's in our neighborhoods, it's in your own backyard.
When I talk about it, I say, Let's educate our own backyard first before we go further.
So, it has really grown so much, but at the same time, has continued to grow, and as we continue, especially the state of Florida, continue to be thorough large on it.
The greatest things that has happened along the way is that now we have more education.
We are aware of what's going on, good positive laws, changing, more people advocating more houses to be able to help and bring trauma care.
Because even in my old days, when I started, we didn't even have trauma care.
We used to have everything in everyone, it was mental health, mental care, you know, medication, medication.
But now, understanding and meeting and talking with the girls and seeing the trauma that they go through the process when they've been trafficking from place to place, the sexual assaults they go through and that endure every day, it's a trauma.
It's a trauma that does not need to be treated as a mental health.
So, learning to differentiate things like that and educate, even in the even in the medical field, hospitals and all like that.
This is not just that in the old days that we used to call, right?
oh, she's a cuckoo or she's, you know, let's put it here.
But changing even the vocabulary, it has helped us to bring better sense of how to serve the survivors and how to persecute these bad guys and what organizations can do better.
So it's learning new vocabulary, learning and discern and describe better this issue that is about crime worldwide.
You know, it's the second money.
Maker in the world and number one is right here in this country.
Everywhere in the world they will go.
That we were soliciting, we were in the Dominican Republic, that we got there in november.
It's a pick on it that we go to Acapulco, then we go there searching in Acapuco for boys, so they people know what they offer and what they're looking for.
So now we can follow that, we can see that what is going on, even though many of those things goes under the radar, but it's a way they're having more organizations working, fighting this fight, able to discover more things.
What is going on in today's state?
Well, I think it's really important that you pointed out that there's a big differentiation between mental health and trauma, because these people that have absorbed so much trauma, what they really need is a social foundation.
They don't need to be drugged into oblivion and prescribed Ssris or other types of medication.
Many of these people who have become addicts, which is obviously only going to worsen the situation, and really that's where your work comes in.
How do you provide that support to these victims once they've been identified, established and hopefully gotten out of their situation?
Many different ways.
It's a different way, because now we have different, different homes, different services, but in the way that is um, we all want to give the quality care to the survivor we want to.
Uh, many of them has been without skills, for example, daily skills, even though, depending on the age that they were trapped in that world, that they maybe, for example, they can even make a bed or make a sense of my gosh, this is my bed, the ownership and a positive thing that you they, this is.
You bet you don't owe me anything because they're constantly they've been uh, conditioning every action that they've been asking to do for it.
If you do this, I give you drugs, I give you this.
You, if you behave, we do that.
So teach them then, in the way and the daily living when they, when they are with us, is what is a life skills, what it takes for you to be, you know, sit in this place for five minutes quiet or listen to them what, what it works, what it doesn't work, what uh type of trauma care also too, is needed.
We are basing also too, what is they need physically, because they had no see a doctor, they had no see a dental care, they had no see uh, eye doctors.
You know they're afraid of all that because they have seen how much also they could be the clients, so they're afraid of that.
So gaining the trust, gaining peace Into their hearts, into their soul, that this is their home.
I am your friend.
Border Issues and Undocumented Children 00:06:14
I'm here.
I'm law enforcement.
You know, they're afraid of law enforcement.
They're afraid to authorities.
So let them know as we work with them in different homes that we're just to help you.
We hear your friend.
And they all come from different cases, different ways that it happened, different backgrounds, different ages.
So we had to accommodate what type of survivor do we have.
Myself, I have from children to 65-year-old women.
So, depending on what I work with, and I have learned my own self to give the quality by listening what that child, what the women, what is needed.
And eventually, the number one is gaining your trust, getting know that let them know that you're there for them, that you are not, you are not obligated to do anything against your will.
We are not conditioning you with anything, giving back something back for something back because they're conditioning to that in the daily living while they are trapped in the human trafficking.
Now, you mentioned the biggest change was the fact that the United States is now a place where constant trafficking is going on at the Americas Future Conference.
Excuse me, Tara Rotis is going to be speaking.
We've had her on the program, and you know, she spent 17 years, I believe, in government and then was put on this case through HHS.
And in only a couple of weeks, realized that many of these migrants coming across the border are, in fact, being trafficked.
Children are being trafficked.
My question to you is: how many of these children that you're seeing being trafficked are from the United States, and how many are coming over the border?
So, there's a differential three points you mentioned there.
The ones that cross the border, the local kids and the ones, the immigrants that they live here are undocumented.
We don't call the immigrants undocumented, that they live in this country.
So, there's the three facts in the different ways that it happen.
A lot of it, my work locally here, also too.
I don't see as much American children, and I don't want to get a political there or anything about being discriminated or anything.
But I work a lot of it with undocumented children in my own backyard.
And a lot of those kids, they're missing constantly.
I work with the schools, I see daily their problems, the issues that they have.
You know, they come from a foreign country to this country.
The parents have to work hard giving back to this community.
And the children in the schools and they become victims here in the school.
Those that are here, along with a lot of other kids, American kids also too, and American kids, a lot of it because of the media.
So, understanding the culture of it, of every of those three elements, is different because the American children, a lot of it, along with other media, has a lot to do with them.
We are not accustomed to everything on the phone, TikToks, Facebooks, everything and anything.
Over 21 apps that we have it, the investigations take place constantly.
Over 21 in my days, not even 10 years ago, eight years ago, we have five apps.
Now, we have over 40 apps, but we had 20, 21 that there's the main ones, gamings, and like that.
Now, for the undocumented child who is not on a beat with the media, is the recruiting in the schools, the neighborhoods, the peers, somebody who take advantage of the social status and here in this country, and they would be threatened.
If you don't do this, I will deport you.
And that fearfulness, living like that, they become more and more victimization.
Now, talking about the border, which is the third element, is a constantly, it is.
I have worked with children that they have been sent by themselves here to Jacksonville.
I would get those calls to help children by themselves, 17 years old, 13 years old, 15 years old.
When I calculate, I do the compile all of the, I do my own intakes, listen to them, constantly listen, and what they go through to there and the safe homes that they put in is unbelievable.
It's unbelievable to believe the details that these children tell you or women tell you also for what they go through.
And yes, it's a lot of kids by themselves.
They come.
It's a lot of trafficking that happen.
I have 13 years olds from Guatemala, from Honduras, from Colombia, and they've been trafficking the whole way.
The coyote would say, hey, I'm going to help you, but they would be raped along the way.
They wouldn't be leaving there in the middle of sometimes in the middle of the desert or whatever to take it by themselves here.
And then still the process, it would be the trafficking who would be, if they make it actually to the site.
And somebody always would be here in this other site.
But as the government, American government, not really verifying who they releasing the children, they already give into the hands of a stranger.
So, and that's one of the big problems that we have when they become trafficking.
Because they say, yeah, they have a number, the children, they call, they don't even know who they are.
The children of where they're going.
So definitely that is a 90% potential they are being trafficking if they may not survive.
And we never see them.
The parents will never see them if somebody, an organization or somebody else that they can reach out for help because they go to the hands of perhaps it could be a family member or their own family member to be the one who traffic and abuse the children.
Because I have a lot of cases like that too.
It's a sick and sad world, but I'm glad that you kind of established the fact that this border issue is an extensive issue and it goes beyond just what's going on on the border now, but the undocumented people that are already in the country and even highlighting the fact that it's often not kids in this country, but when they are trafficked, it's usually through social media and gaming.
And that's really what parents have to be on the lookout for.
Parents Must Stay Alert 00:11:14
We've got to take a break.
When we come back, I want to talk about the America's Future Conference and how it's really not just a bunch of great speakers, but it's people getting active and getting the people in attendance active as well.

Final segment of Making Sense of the Madness.
Sylvia, obviously, this is an issue that you've been working with for decades.
You're very passionate about it.
How did you get involved in this summit coming up on August 17th and with America's future?
But I have a couple of friends here locally.
He's a bit my big chair up for what I do.
He knows a lot of stuff with it.
His name is Ben Moore.
So he was, I have stopped working with organizations like that because I had so many cases.
And he said, Ms. Silva, you got to meet my friend Mary.
That's an amazing thing that is going on.
And usually I take my time and pray and learn about it first.
What I'm going to try to be committed, because I had gone through a lot of organizations, things like that.
And sometimes I'm skeptical.
And then when he was telling me, he knows very well my story, my life, my cases, and all like that.
And I said, well, you know, I will give it a try.
They took the time to come to Jacksonville and meet with me.
And I met Miss Mary.
I introduced myself.
We have a long conversation.
I love what they do.
It goes with part of my heart, what it is for the children.
Most of it, education.
My goal is, as I take my legacy, is always like education is prevention.
And I love like that when somebody is about to educate, train, and eradicate and changes through that talking to me.
I will be part of it.
I will be fighting the fight and all about myself, but I will be part of it.
So that was one of the pivot moments when Ben introduced me, Miss Mary, and we had this awesome conversation.
I love it.
And since then, we got connected.
We've been working together.
And now this summit is going to be amazing.
I hope any people are able to come, be part of us, talk to us, introduce to ourselves that we can answer questions.
We have a diversity of people in the panel, a diversity of people there that you can ask any kind of questions.
Come on, write your question so you won't forget it, what to ask us, and just be part of it.
It's amazing.
It's in a different level than what we have done.
Other summits that I have been part of in the community and the city and the state.
This one, I believe, is going to be amazing.
It's a diversity, is what is going to help us.
Having diversity of people with knowledge that everybody has is what it helps for you to understand better this subject.
It's not just to understand what is human trafficking.
It's understanding how the diversity, because of this issue, it helps us for us to work together for the good of your own community in our own backyards.
Well, I think so.
And that's what it's all about.
It's your own backyard.
So this isn't just I'm going to sit down, I'm going to watch some great speakers.
And I totally agree with you that information is a great power.
And by educating people, they can do more.
But this is really about action.
So what are some of the actions that people can take right now to get involved in this arena, especially on the heels of the success of Sound of Freedom, which has really taken the country by storm and I would argue, made more and more people aware that human trafficking, especially the trafficking of children, is a real issue.
And it's a real issue that goes beyond left or right, Republican or Democrat.
This is about right and wrong.
Yes, correct, correct.
I always tell my own friends, I say, hey, this is not about who is red and who is blue.
It's about this is what happened in our community.
And at the same time, like we have learned years ago about cancer, right?
We did something.
We educate.
We got prevention.
We had treatment now.
So now this is here in our footsteps daily, everywhere we live.
So the more education, education is prevention.
Education rates questions.
So when you learn about it, all my conferences, I always tell the encouragement to people is, okay, now that you know, you go tell your friends, ask them, hey, did you know about human trafficking?
Do you know this has happened here?
A lot of people in today's state, as big as it is in this country, at least 80, 75%, 80% people start thinking this stuff happened in another country.
And now also with this movie, which is based also with one of my own NGOs that I have worked with them as part of this movie, you know, seeing in that, and that has helped us actually to bring worldwide or nationwide more and more a real awareness.
It has helped us to start again this conversation because it's like if a little time to time to time kind of die, this conversation and it comes up and it dies and it comes out because people wanted to let it go, hash hash.
But when a movie or something like that happen or sympathies or something, they come in the community is to bring the awareness, it's to allow us to see what it is, what to do, when to do, and where to do.
So learning the what, the where, and when, it helps us a lot to be, you don't have to be in the front row, do what we do or what we do, or the others do, but you have right there where you are.
If you have children in your school, get involved in the school.
Ask them to you teach it, are you being educated about human trafficking?
What are you teaching to my children about this issue?
The recruiters are in their schools, privates, charters, county schools.
The recruiters are right inside of the schools.
And parents by working 24-7 don't have any time to even go to parents conferences.
It raises a banner very high with me because I work in the schools constantly.
So I push and encourage adults in any capacity to get involved with your friends in this conversation.
Ask them why you know, because it's not just for the children, it's for you and I.
I mean, you're going to buy a house online.
You're going to meet the wrong person, but you're learning the signs.
You're learning the prevention.
Do you want to stop what is going to happen?
No, we don't.
But at least we know now certain steps, signs that we can identify and stop, stop and read and say, oh my gosh, I see this sign that I learned somewhere.
I better don't do it.
So it helps us for us to own selves to prevent a little bit of something that could have happened worse.
So educating, asking questions, sharing what you learn, sharing what nobody else want to share.
Nobody else, my own friends, sometimes the one I have that conversation again.
You know, they get tired because it's a hard topic.
It's a hard topic because it touched children in any capacity.
You know, go beyond, like we say, blue and red.
It goes beyond.
This is in our homes.
This is in our children.
For foreign children, I do the same thing for the adults.
You educate here.
If you are from Guatemala, if you are from Honduras, let me educate you here.
Learn about it so you can help you people in your country.
I'm from Ecuador, my own self.
I educate my friends.
I tell my nephews.
I tell my family.
This is what has happened.
You know, this is what happened in my country already right now, too.
You know, so learn the signs.
So anywhere that we are, all we have in the more powerful piece of the life God and everything has given us is our mouth, is our voice, is voicing what we already learning and what is really a concern to us.
Well, you have to communicate with each other.
And I've talked about how this movie has given us an opportunity to make a movement out of it, whether it's just taking somebody to this film, maybe even showing them the news clips based on the actual event that the film is based on.
They actually show you some of that at the end.
That's a powerful tool.
And you can't look to others.
You have to be involved yourself.
You have to take a hard look in the mirror and say, what can I do about this?
Because we are talking about our future and especially our children.
We've only got a couple minutes left.
Sylvia, what would you like to leave the audience with?
I would love to have encourage every single person to continually to say, educate, ask questions, learn.
A big cure the curiosity, and help us to engage better in the knowledge that we learn.
You know and uh, we are.
We all say uh, people perish for lack of knowledge, and also us, even if we do have our mind setting in one thing, learn about what is going on in our community.
Go out there on your own city and your own little town and find out what is going on downtown, what is going around you, what is going around your friends, and you will see also even how much your friends also need you.
You know how much a conversation needs to be take place.
So talk about it, ask questions uh, let your curiosity awaken in you.
Knowledge absolutely, Sylvia.
