Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Good evening. Welcome to WFUZ TV, the People's Voice podcast. I'm Blair Castro here with Thomas Jenkins. And we have Jared Hudson in the studio with us today, all the way from, I believe you're from Jefferson County from Birmingham.

SPEAKER_02 0:14

A little bit north of Birmingham.

SPEAKER_00 0:15

So it's very awesome that you took the time to come to Gulf Shores and talk with us. I know you are five days away from your runoff. There's a lot going on. This is the earliest episode in the morning we've ever filmed. So I very much appreciate it. I know it's not easy, and your time is super valuable, so I appreciate it a lot.

SPEAKER_02 0:29

I appreciate y'all having me down here. It's amazing to be here.

SPEAKER_00 0:32

So I'm going to try to make this a little different format than I typically would, but feel free, we'll do like a little intro. Tell us about your background, what motivated you to run for Senate, and you know, why now? Why did you jump into this U.S. Senate race?

SPEAKER_02 0:45

Yeah, absolutely. So, you know, the most important thing about me is I'm a born-again believer in the person of Jesus Christ, right? So I'm a Christian. And the reason I always lead with that is because it's the only thing about Jared Hudson that's eternal. Secondly, I'm a seven-generation Alabama family man. Got a beautiful wife, three beautiful little girls. We're raising right here in Alabama. Families originally from Gaston, from Edoh County. And when I was in the eighth grade, we moved to the Gardendale area, and that's where we're raising our girls. Third, I'm a Navy SEAL sniper, so I was in the SEAL teams. I was a sniper in the SIEL teams. When I got out of the SEAL teams, I became a law enforcement officer here in Alabama. I'm still a law enforcement officer with Blunt County Sheriff's Office and as an investigator and a SWAT deputy. And then finally, a Homeland Security Task Force officer, primarily working child exploitation investigations with him, but also some of the illegal immigration piece, because those two things tie together. And then finally, uh I'm the CEO of Covenant Rescue Group and Nonprofit that combats human trafficking. And those are the three main things about me. The reason I decided to run for the U.S. Senate is again, as a Christian, the Lord opened the doors. And I always preface it with green lights or open doors are not always God telling you to go through something, right? So my wife and I started praying about it, and we felt like this is what God had called us to do because we see, as we talked about with your run for city council, hey, you can't just keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That's the definition of insanity. I thought, what kind of man am I if I don't thrive? So we started out with zero name ID or very little name ID from a previous race that I ran in Jefferson County against a Democrat sheriff. Uh we started off at the front end of it, zero dollar, zero name ID, and thought, you know what? I'm just gonna start calling people on the cell phone and telling them what we're doing. This was over a year ago. I was the first person to announce to be in this race, and the Lord uh opened the doors and blessed us tremendously to be able to be sitting here in a runoff against uh congressman uh from y'all's district down here. So uh it's I'm the most unlikely U.S. Senate candidate ever. I'm just a regular dude from North Jefferson, Alabama, trying to represent the people of Alabama. So that's about as quick as we can make it.

SPEAKER_00 2:48

Thank you. Um regarding your platform, um so something I actually care about that you touched on was the human trafficking and the exploitation. When I ran, I actually had a little like platform point about like predator proofing or paradise, and I talked about that, and people actually told me that's not really an issue here, like you're making that issue up, you're exaggerating it, but I really don't think it's exaggerated. I think it's happening a lot more than people see, and that's being reported. I even gave stats on like unmappable offenders. I was talking about like we see it all the time in the news, and then people kind of disregard it. Um, what would you say to people who I guess that gave me criticisms about that, like this isn't really a major issue, but I think it is.

SPEAKER_02 3:26

Oh, it's one of the largest issues, right? And as a law enforcement officer, uh one of the things that we noticed is you have a fourth and a sixth amendment violation that you run the risk of when you try to proactively go after people that are exploiting children, right? And anytime a child is exploited, it is human trafficking. Now, it's not always that case when you look at, you know, the adult sex work industry and prostitution. It's sometimes it is human trafficking there and sometimes it's not. But when a child is exploited, it falls under human trafficking statutes both federally and within the state of Alabama. So that's the first thing. How do we proactively go after individuals like you're talking about that are preying upon children? And it happens in every uh every community that we go into. We actually just did one, there was a news release about it with our organization, not too far away from here. It's a little bit north of here in Monroe County, right? And in Monroe County, it's not a huge county, not a not a big county, there were six individuals that showed up to purchase a child, right? Purchase a 13 or 14-year-old child. Of those six individuals, four of them were illegal immigrants that were showing up to do that, that were preying on the children in that community. On the other side of it, when you arrest most of these individuals, right? So we make an arrest of somebody showing up to buy a 14-year-old girl. What we find out is that 30% of them, so let's say we have 10 arrests with that local agency, three of the 10 will have an active victim with them. And that operation gives us probable calls to rip the data off their phone. So we don't have a fourth and a sixth amendment violation and find these actual victims. The worst I've ever seen, there was a guy that was producing, and he's in federal prison now, but he was producing uh child pornography with his own 18-month-old daughter. He was having sex with his own 18-month-old daughter. The mother didn't even know about it. And when you do these interviews, when you go in and you you conduct the interviews, or when the law enforcement agency that you're working with conducts the interviews, one of the most amazing things that we see in that is that people around the individuals that are truly targeting and preying on these kids, they don't know it's happening. And that's one of the things that we have to teach law enforcement. And as a law enforcement officer has to say, we have to hold a standard that maintains the constitutional rights of the individual, but on the other side of it, make sure that we protect children because 93% of kids that are exploited is familiar-based. It's somebody in their family, which means that those children are not going to trust anybody who they talk to. Why? Because the person that God put in their life for them to trust the most has proved themselves untrustworthy. 46% of the time, it's somebody like a coach, a teacher, a pastor, a law enforcement officer, a firefighter, somebody that child should trust. 37% of the time, it's a close family member, aunt, uncle, mom, dad, it's somebody that's close to the child. So that adds up to the 93% of the time that it's familiar-based. So we're going after the 7% of the time it's random. And when we go after that, it gives us probable causes law enforcement officers to dig in, obtain warrants, get the information, and find real victims. And so that is the way these styles of operations go. And it happens everywhere. It it is, it goes on all over the place. And it's important that we understand it doesn't matter where you live in the state of Alabama, in the United States of America, everywhere we go, we see individuals that are preying on kids. The last thing I'll leave you with, when we set up these operations, you'll have a thousand individuals, let's say, that you know, that you wind up coming in contact with looking to purchase somebody. And then when they reach out to you on these sex websites, by the way, that's what these are for. They say, hey, you know, want to meet up, blah, blah, blah. Well, you talk to them and say, hey, I'm not old enough to drive. Can you pick me up? Of those thousand people, 900 of them would just won't talk to you anymore. They'll tell you to pound sand, they'll tell you to go away. 100 will still engage. Of the hundred that engage and agree to show up for a child, right? For a certain age child, 10 of them will actually step, you know, step forward with it, and they'll actually show up to the location, and that is where we can make arrest because we see the process happening where this individual reaches out, this individual shows up even when they realize it's a 14-year-old that's there, and then the arrest is made. Now that gives us probable cause to look and see does this individual have a real victim tied to them. So that is how you can impact it, but it happens in every community we've been in, and it's really just a percentage game. And it's a small percentage of society that actually goes after children. But it's a sick, but it's a sick portion of society that we have to use law enforcement to go after. Sure.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

So, how does all this training and experience parlay into the seat that you're running? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:13

So uh for me, obviously with the human trafficking piece, we see at the federal level how that impacts what we see going on with human trafficking. But one of the biggest things going from the SEAL teams as a war fighter, having to make quick decisions, but work with a team. In the SEAL teams, we get into arguments all the time, and it's not just a talking argument like we get in fist fights with each other. We get mad at each other, we get in fist fights, we deal with it. And we might have an issue with my brother. I might have an issue with you, but our issue does not supersede the mission that we now have to go on. So uh the slang term for a SEAL is a team guy in the SEAL teams. Uh so in the teams, the mission supersedes whatever our issue with each other is. And that's one of the important things of the U.S. Senate. You have to build coalitions, you have to build teams. Teams to deliver for, in our case, the people of the state of Alabama, teams to deliver for the kids that are being exported in the state of Alabama at the federal level. So making sure that you can build coalitions that supersede whatever beef that we might have. And right now, what we see going on, it's not just Republicans and Democrats, by the way. It's Republicans and Republicans. It's Democrats and Democrats. So it's everybody across the board. We have to make sure that we have team uh mission-focused people who are able to get on a team with each other and go beyond whatever personal issues we have to deliver for, in my case, the people of Alabama. And I would say that that's one of the biggest things the SEAL teams has taught me. What we do with human trafficking, one of the biggest things that showed me is when you're on the ground working in the mud and the blood, when you're on the ground working law enforcement, when you're on the ground working with law enforcement agencies all over the nation, oftentimes what happens in reality, and I've seen this as a SEAL in war, what happens in reality is missed by the political leaders up here. And there's a bureaucracy in the center that that convolutes that. Oftentimes it's not the politician that is the problem with, hey, we want to send the war fighter, we want to send the law enforcement officer, we want to impact human trafficking in a way that's positive. And then the guys on the ground are like, well, we can't get what you're trying to send us. We're sending you information up of what happens. In the middle, there's a bureaucracy that blocks it and keeps it from being able to trickle down to the guys doing the work or trickle up to the those that are in office making those decisions. So making sure that we elect somebody, for me in my case, who is actually on the ground in the mud to blood in combat, in the mud to blood in law enforcement work and child exploitation and other criminal acts across the state of Alabama, making sure that we can remove the bureaucracy. And I think the only way that we can do that is to have people who have been actually working in it now sit in a position where we can impact it. The last thing I'll leave you with it's not always war and criminal enterprise that we deal with, right? Affordability is the biggest issue for Alabama families. Affordability of housing, health care, groceries, uh, energy. Affordability is the biggest issue that we're facing. Affordability is also one of the biggest issues that we see criminal enterprise impact our community. So again, going to the law enforcement officer piece, we have a government that comes in at the federal level and they incentivize people not to work. And when you go in and you incentivize somebody not to work, what happens? Criminal enterprise starts to take place. So the old saying, idle hands are the double work, devil's workshop. One of the things that we've seen is little girls, when I say little girls, 13 to 16, will sell themselves because they have the ability to do it. They do it right here on these phones, and they don't understand what they're necessarily doing at that age. They don't understand that it's a moral decision, not just a business decision. And they will sell themselves on that phone, but then there are nefarious actors who go beyond that. And we uh hooked a cartel member up in Coleman County, Alabama a couple of months ago that was showing up to steal a 14-year-old girl and take her back to Mexico. And so now the FBI got involved in that and they're going even deeper in that investigation than him. But the point I'm getting at is we have to make sure that at the federal level we are working in a way that supports and upholds the communities so that criminal enterprise is not an option. Economic injections help communities and elevates them out of the mire. I've seen it overseas, I've seen it here in the United States of America. So that's how those are some of the things that we can do from the position of U.S. Senate to impact the communities as a whole and impact human trafficking and impact even our law enforcement officers and war fighters that are doing the service overseas that I did during the global war on terror. So, what would be some of your goals to achieve if you were elected? Yeah. So, hey, if we were, if I was sitting there right now, um I would say passing the Save America Act would be absolutely huge for the nation because the state of Alabama already does it. We require IDE and proof of citizen, you know, proof of citizen citizenship to vote. We need that by the general election because we have other states that don't do the same thing. We're trying to make it free and fair across the board, right? And the Constitution says for the states, you get to choose time, place, and manner. The states get to run elections. We don't want the feds running elections. But we do need to make sure that those people voting in our elections are not foreign actors, they're not foreign adversaries, and we don't have multiple people voting at the same time in our elections. Because at the federal level, it's more than just the president. It's also making sure that we don't lose the Senate, the House, that we don't lose it to foreign adversaries that would take advantage of states that are not applying the same standard across the board. So passing the Save America Act right now would be one of the most important things that need to be done. And by the way, earlier when I said it's not always Democrats and Republicans fighting, they pushed the Save America Act to the floor for a vote a couple of days ago. I don't know if y'all are familiar with that. They pushed it to the floor for a vote, tacked it on to a reconciliation bill, right? As an amendment to a reconciliation bill. There were four Republicans that were holdouts on that vote. On something that you would think, wow, they made it a partisan issue, but there were four Republicans that were holdout. What leads me to my next thing? The four Republicans that were holdouts, the reason you ran for city council, they've been there for a million years. We have a term limits problem. It's the whole reason that any of us at our age want to get involved in politics because the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So we see that these four Republicans that were against the Save America Act when we could have just had a 51 vote, they went against it and they've been there for a million years. We have got to pass federal term limits. We have got to pass term limits for everybody across the board to keep new, fresh ideas coming in, but also to keep these special interest groups and all of these corporations, foreign enterprise, whoever it is, from buying access to our officials because that's what they're buying. They want to buy access to somebody who's going to be there for 20 or 30 or 40 years because then they're able to lobby them in a way that the voter can't lobby them, right? So making sure we pass federal term limits, which moves me to the next thing. Why do they want to stay there that long? Well, the biggest thing is congressional stock trading. If you do it, it's insider trading. If I do it, it's insider trading. If you do it, it's insider trading. But if they do it, well, that's just the way it is. We're in Congress, we get to get to do this. It's an illegal thing. We've got to make sure that we ban federal stock trading so it limits one, the nefarious actors who want to come and make a lot of money, but two, it also uh takes the burden off the individual for them. Hey, I don't even want to be here anymore because it truly is service. I'm not serving myself to make millions. I'm serving the people that I'm elected to represent. And it still makes it easier for the voter, for the citizen, to lobby their representative as opposed to every other organization or the money that they're making in the stock industry, which brings me to the last thing that I would do. Sorry, so those are the first three things.

SPEAKER_01 16:04

We've got to pass the Save America Act now. We've got to be fresh ideas, how do you feel about the integration of Israel's military with our military?

SPEAKER_02 16:12

That's that's Well, so when I was in the SEAL teams, I worked with the Israelis a lot, right? And so there is, under my understanding, there's a big thing going on right now where they're saying, hey, there's some sort of um uh what's the technology integration that's going on. From my understanding, in the NDAA, it hasn't changed from what it's already been. Uh Israel is our most trusted geopolitical partner in the Middle East right now. We send them $3.8 billion a year, and it's been going on for the last 10 years. So 2018, it ends in 2028 for a total of about $38 billion. They send 85% of that back. It comes with strings attached. They have to spend it here in the United States of America, and a lot of it's spent here in Alabama, not far down the road in Mobile, where we have a lot of aerospace industry, and you got the shipbuilding industry and everything going on there. Then you've got Huntsville, Redstone Arsenal, missile development. We've got Golden Dome that we're working on. So a lot of that technology that they're developing and testing on the battlefield because they're getting rocket shot at them a lot. We don't have to have boots on the ground to test it, and we're able to implement it. So it actually saves us money and they spend money back here. On the other side, worked in Jordan and Egypt, and a lot of our other Gulf State partners and Middle Eastern countries that are partners with us. A great example would be what we send to Jordan. We send them seven to eight million dollars a year, and there ain't none of that comes back to us. So the bigger issue I have is not what we spend with specific countries, right? Look at what's happening in Ukraine. I want to say about 20% of that comes back to us, and we spend a we spend a ton in Ukraine with what's going on with Ukraine and Russia. Is it being invested back in American initiatives, funding American jobs, and helping us prepare? Because we have to, we want peace, we've got to prepare for war without having to put our boots on the ground somewhere because we don't want our blood spilled. I did that during GWAT. With that being said, making sure that that investment's coming back to the United States of America is where we have to be careful where we implement ourselves with other countries. We saw that happen with what's going on right now in Iran with the IRGC. Right. We go over there, we wind up attacking the IRGC, we go trying to remove uh the IRGC leadership. It's very difficult because what are they? They're segmented out, right? I mean, they are all over the nation, and every time you knock one down, another one pops up. You know, it's like a 10-headed snake. We don't want another GWAT. We can't afford another GWAT one with our guys on the ground. But number two, with the actual cost. We talked about affordability earlier. Look at inflation, right? We can't afford to do this, making sure that we have partners that are willing to go in and fight alongside us or take the reins with what happened. Our Gulf State partners all backed out. And these are guys that we've given a lot of money to. Our European partners backed out, right? NATO saying, oh, wait a second. And then they shot and shot over Diego Garcia. We see the burden of war, and it's always a burden. And there's never a good answer. But going back to what you were saying, making sure that we maintain those relationships, but we can't be led around by our nose because it's our money and it's our blood. We dictate the terms and making sure those terms uphold and support the national security nexus of the United States of America is what has to happen. But on the other side of it, making sure that Proverbs 19.2 says zeal without knowledge causes you to miss the mark. We've got a lot of people that are zealous for us as Americans to protect ourselves, but they miss the mark completely because they don't actually understand what's happening and the geopolitical dynamics that are going on with our partners and with our enemies. The last thing I'll leave you with. We've been in, we're in this position, not because of what happened today or yesterday, six months ago or two years ago, or even 10 years ago. We are in this position now because of 50 years of bad foreign policy, longer than we've been alive. I'm 40 years old. If we would have dealt with the IRGC in 1979 or 1983 when they killed our Marines in the Beirut bombing, we wouldn't have had to fight in the global war on terror that I fought in. We wouldn't have had trillions of dollars in debt. We have to deal with these issues now so our kids don't deal with them. But on the other side, we have to make sure that we're not let around by our nose, whether it's by our partners or by our enemies, because the two big enemies are China and the economic burden that they're placing on the United States of America. And then also Russia would be the big enemy, and they're using everybody else as a proxy. So anyway, uh that and uh $5 get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. So take everything with a grain of salt and do your own research, but that's important for us too. But the last thing I'll leave you with on what would I do immediately that could impact us here is transparency within our government. It's not very transparent. Everybody sees what went on with uh the Epstein files and everything. And here's here's one of the biggest problems I had is a guy that works human trafficking.

SPEAKER_01 21:03

Release it and show everything out there. What do you think of that no vote with Tubberville? He came out of the gate and originally with a no vote until he succumbed to pressure.

SPEAKER_02 21:13

The the thing that is crazy to me, and I understand as a law enforcement officer, if we are actively investigating something where justice is going to be served, not releasing it all the public. That's a constitutional protection, by the way, just so everybody knows. And when you deal with human trafficking and you have real victims, a lot of times, unless they're willing to go on the stand, you can't get a prosecution. You can't get a conviction. So I do understand one side of it. On the other side of it, we are so far down the road with this thing where I think the only justice that might exist would be transparency. That might be the only justice that we have, the only teeth that we have anymore, because there it has been botched so many times. But let's get to something even more specific, right, that would impact us now, something our tax dollars are paying for. There was a drain. The slush fund vote that came up, I don't know, back in March timeframe, I think. And we had congressional members, and my opponent voted not to release the names of congressional members who utilize taxpayer dollars a slush fund to hide their sexual improprieties with staffers. I'm not talking about releasing the victims. If there's victims' names, that's fine. I'm talking about just an elected representative, released the information of those who used it, how much of the taxpayer dollar they used, because where it came to a culmination was you seeing a bunch of uh congressional members got in trouble over this. Uh uh Representative Gonzalez, that's his name, in Texas. Do y'all remember that story? He got a staffer pregnant. This young lady burned herself alive on his front lawn. She killed herself on his front lawn. This is a congressional member and a federal representative. We have to be transparent with what we're doing because transparency in government creates trust in government, or at least creates more trust in government for us, the people. And right now, congressionals trust Congress's trust rating is unbelievably low.

SPEAKER_01 23:08

So that's something that we could immediately do, even if we're Would you push a bill for like sunshine laws? Because I can't even get an unredacted police report for that I made a narrative to as it stands right now. I would have to hire a lawyer and subpoena for that information of a narrative that I gave to police in order to see if you can't get the narrative that you wrote that the police officer took down of my uh sworn statement. Correct. I I tried that with somebody that literally tried to run me off the road with an SUV, made a police report, and when I went to go get a copy of it for my court case, everything, including my narrative, was redacted.

SPEAKER_02 23:43

Really?

SPEAKER_01 23:44

Seriously. Yeah, you can't you can't get an unredacted police report without a subpoena and a lawyer. It's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02 23:49

Well now having now having a subpoena is important because there are things that are protected by the courts because of our Fourth and Sixth Amendment rights. So it's a constitutional issue. A lot of people are my own narrative. If it's your own narrative, that's where I I guess I don't get that. As a law enforcement officer, I don't think it's it's not. That should be Yeah, that's kind of crazy. I don't understand that neither. Um But yeah, I think any anything that we can push, and at the federal level, it's gonna be different than what you deal with at your state level, right? Because each state is gonna have different requirements for that state and for that state law enforcement agency. And then also, as you know, if you have law enforcement background, just the SOPs or just the uh the standards of the law enforcement agency is a lot of times what supersedes the ability for somebody to do it, or even that local court or that local jurisdiction. So um I think at the federal level, yes, pushing things, but as long as it maintains the standard of the Constitution, because that protects the rights of the individual, we have to make sure that we protect those rights because they're not government given, they're God-given rights. Who are we to try to change them? They're God-given rights. We are supposed to uphold and protect them. And if those, if you can't get a dang report that you made, that that does become a problem. And I would think that that's probably more of a problem at the local level as opposed to even at the state or at the federal level. I would, but I, you know, without knowing the specifics for that, that that seems kind of odd to me.

SPEAKER_01 25:13

Yeah, or to Mississippi and Louisiana at different agencies when we didn't do that.

SPEAKER_02 25:16

So didn't have that problem in those agencies. Yeah. So it's so it's not a federal level, it wounds up becoming state or even local.

SPEAKER_00 25:22

Well, so I'll leave, I have one more final question for you, and that is can you tell everybody why? Okay, we're more informed than the average person, and we actually vote in primaries and runoffs, and the voter turnout's been really low, which is why we started this whole podcast to try to get people to care. Tell the average person who's kind of like our age and you know, living up here on the beach on an island, like how why should we care to go vote for the U.S. Senate and why should we vote for you over your opponent? That would be my final question. Convince us in you know, in just a few minutes.

SPEAKER_02 25:49

Absolutely. And by the way, I want to say she set our age. She looks a lot younger than we do over here. Me and my baby have gotten gray in our own.

SPEAKER_01 25:56

You're trying to get my vote now. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 25:58

No, so the the biggest thing is your vote is the most important thing that you have, right? Frederick Douglass, tell me what Frederick Douglass is, is a slave. One is freedom, help Abraham Lincoln free the slaves. He says our freedom's rooted in three boxes the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box. I've been to a country where the cartridge box is the only answer. You're a law enforcement officer. You understand what's required to make sure that we have a first world society, right? Your vote is unbelievably important. Your freedom is rooted in your vote. That is why it's important. I'm looking at you, the listener. That is why it's important that you get out and you vote. We can't complain about what's going on if we don't get involved and try to change and you do it first with your vote. You do it by running for office like you did. You do it by, you do it by lobbying and letting your courts and your legislators of, hey, why can't I get the dang report that I wrote? You do it by getting involved in an easy way to get involved, a freedom that you can get involved in, because it was paid for by somebody's last breath so that you can take your next breath and circle a bubble. Your vote is unbelievably important. So that's the first thing. That's why to get out and vote. It was purchased by something with somebody else's blood. Secondly, the reason I believe I'm the best man for the job is because for far too long, career politicians have elevated elevated themselves as opposed to the people that they're elected to represent. I'm a regular seventh-generation Alabama family man. I'm a war fighter, a law enforcement officer, and more importantly, I'm a Christian. And I will give my life to make sure that you have your right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. And that's what a servant does, to fight to deliver for you the people of Alabama. The reason I think that I'm the best man for the job over my opponent is because of that exact thing. He's been in office for the last 16 years, and what good has he done you? I'm telling you right now, as a believer in Christ, as a war fighter who's bound by the blood of my brothers, and as someone who wants to serve the state of Alabama, I can go and take your issues to Washington and not bring the stupidity of Washington back here to you, the people of Alabama. I'm Jared Hudson, I'm running for the U.S. Senate, and I would be honored to earn your trust and earn your vote on June 16th.
