Today we have a special rebroadcast of the Jordan Harbinger Show. Jordan interviews Paul Hutchinson about the film "Sound of Freedom" and the human trafficking trade. In the full show, Jordan threads the needle to disclaim the interview from any political bents and conspiracy theories that cloud the topic and just wanted to expose the trade and damage it causes.
As we work overseas on foreign policy issues, I suspect our soldiers, diplomats, development officers, and field agents will cross paths with this growing illicit trade. To help the team, in the show notes, I'll add the Department of State, DOD and UN contacts who can help you respond.

Welcome to the One CA Podcast. In this episode, we set up a new remote studio for Brian Hancock. It was the first run, so you will hear some background noise, but it was a terrific conversation about Civil Affairs work at the 4-star level command and some of our work in Europe and Africa, so stay tuned.
