showing the lawsuits they're going through, an email exchange of CEOs and executives of what's being said, of taking down videos of underage porn that was under while MasterCard or Visa is asking them, why is this video still on your website? She's sharing that exchange. Very weird. She's talking about Bill Ackman, a guy that's worth almost $10 billion, getting involved and making a phone call,
to CEO of MasterCard or Visa, who was a former colleague that they played tennis together, saying, hey, did you know about this? And then all of a sudden, those guys took action. The amount of things that she shared with me and said, Pat, Solomon lied to you. This is her words. He lied to you when he said X, Y, Z. I want you to see this for yourself.
If you know me as a family guy, I got four kids. Not a fan of this stuff that's out there, especially underage stuff and anything having to do with human trafficking. Many times when we think about child trafficking, we forget the fact that there's human trafficking above 18 years old or revenge porn, a lot of that stuff that's going on right now as well.
Layla broken down in ways that I had no idea. This is what she does 24-7 following these stories, even to the point that the previous owner of Pornhub that ended up having tax issues reached out to her to tell her issues that's really going on on Pornhub.
Again, I want you to watch this for yourself and be the judge of whether this website should stay up or it should be taken down because that's what they're trying to do there. And I think you're going to see some insight. If you enjoyed the previous one that we did, I think you're going to love this one here today. Again, with Layla McElwain.
Oh, they're communicating amongst each other as employees.
And why are they not being held accountable?
I don't get that, though. Who wouldn't enforce that law? It's kids.
Okay, so folks, a month ago or so, I interviewed the new owners of Pornhub, okay? Solomon Friedman, and he brought one of his associates, and we had a very good conversation together. It was to find out what's really going on, because the level of criticism that Pornhub's gotten over the years... And then while I'm doing that, one of the things we talked about was the petition.
The fact that Trafficking Hub petition has roughly, Rob, if you can show this, 2.33 million signatures worldwide. And I said, that's very interesting. After the interview was done with the new owner, I get a message from a Layla that says, Patrick, I'm the one that posted that trafficking petition, getting all the signatures. And she wrote a book called Takedown, which we'll put the link below.
Then I started looking into what she's done, the interviews she's done, and I have, again, more questions about Pornhub. I thought it was the right thing to do to bring her here to give us a different perspective, not from the owner's perspective, but from the other side saying we need to do something about Pornhub. So with that being said, it's great to have you on.
Of course. So tell me, when you watched it, what was it when you said, I'm going to reach out to Pat, I want to have a conversation? What part of the interview prompted you to want to do that?
Fantastic. Now, for the audience to know the outcome of Traffic and Hub. So I went and read what the outcome is. Rob, if you can go up a little bit so we can read that.
Traffic and Hub is a decentralized global movement of individual survivors, organizations, and advocates from across a broader spectrum of political faith and non-faith, economic and ideological background, all uniting together for the single purpose of shutting down Pornhub. So it's not... getting them to use better technology like Yodi.
So, you know, you say that, and, you know, you obviously know I pushed them very hard when they were here, and for me it was like, what makes somebody want to be a porn star?
There are certain things to it, even to the point that, you know, I'm sitting here watching a documentary called After Porn Ends, the story of porn stars, what their life is like after they're out of the porn industry, and how do you go back to a normal life from that space? But there's a few things, Rob. Can you pull up the story of New York Times? The 2020 article, right? I think it is.
Exactly. Yeah. So this is the article that is disturbing to read, but I want to read it to you because I think it's stuff that we need to... I got four kids, and I openly talk to my kids about this kind of stuff to prepare them for them because they're 12, 10, specifically to the 12 and 11-year-old, but the 8 and 3, soon I'll be talking to them as well. I want to read this to you.
So if you can zoom in, Rob, and we can read through this article together... So this is an article that they wrote. Exact date, Rob, if you can go a little bit higher.
Okay. So Pornhub prides itself on being the cheery, winking face of naughty. The website billboard a time score and provides snow plows to... Boston, okay, great. Next, the supposedly wholesome Pornhub attracts 3.5 billion visits a month, more than Netflix, Yahoo, or Amazon. This is when Yahoo was relevant that you would even mention it.
Pornhub rakes in money from almost 3 billion ad impressions a day. One ranking lists Pornhub as the 10th most visited website in the world. And then as you go lower, you'll see this. Yet another side of the company, its site is infested with rape videos.
