Well, thanks to all the people. I have to pass that on. Yeah. I had the honor of a lifetime leading this movement, but I'm an activist and I was able to help activate people. And it was this amazing team from journalists and lawyers and law enforcement, victims, most importantly, who came together.

Yeah. Some victims like 100 percent. They feel justified. They feel like that. Yeah. Then there's others. And maybe it's that DNA thing. Maybe it's like it's in them. They have this fire like they want to sound the alarm. And they're really motivated, too, by I don't want anyone else to have to go through what I went through.

It is shocking to me that after five years of this viral campaign, of all the thousands of media articles that have been written, the lawsuits, everything that's happened, most of the time, most people say, I had no idea that it's happening. That's a problem. And I think it's just because we just haven't reached saturation point where we've talked about it enough for it to be common knowledge.

And so that's why I'm so grateful for conversations like this. And I think it's because people are uncomfortable. They're afraid to talk about it. It's one of those things that it's affecting everybody in some way. We're all in contact with this free user generated porn industry, but nobody wants to talk about it.

That is a thing. It's even with the release of the book and there's whatever shows you can go on as an author when you release a book. And a lot of them that reach a huge audience are like, it's too heavy. It's too dark. Good morning America might be like. And so people want to a lot of times kind of shy away from these uncomfortable and dark topics.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I appreciate the fact that this obviously is not the first time you've been covering this issue of sex trafficking. I know I've heard other episodes that you've had on this, and you definitely don't shy away from the hard topics.
