#81 After Dark - The Fight Against Human Trafficking In The United States w/ Kyle Baker

Welcome back to another episode of After Dark! Today, Officer Kyle Baker joins me from a local department's human trafficking unit here in northern California to uncover what his experience has been like fighting this nasty crime. While the problem of human trafficking has lingered in the shadows for decades, recent months have witnessed a powerful surge of awareness and action especially with the help of a recently released film, The Sound Of Freedom. There are misconceptions about what human trafficking looks like in major US cities particularly within California so I had questions for Kyle pertaining what that might be compared to what's been brought to light by the film. Now, you'll gain insight of why this deeply unsettling problem is now starting to receive the attention it desperately needs.Episode Sponsor:BioProtein Technology: https://bioproteintech.com/For $30 off your order use code "IRONSIGHTS" at checkout.BioPro+ can potentially help to improve balance hormones, increase sex drive, improves insulin sensitivity, and produce increases of mitochondria and nucleic acids to create a total system modulator.
