Dr James de Lemos: Hello, my name is James de Lemos. I'm the executive editor for Circulation, and I'm delighted to be joined here by Tim Gardner professor of surgery at University of Pennsylvania and our long-term associate editor in charge of cardiac surgical content at Circulation; and Marc Ruel, who is professor of cardiac surgery at University of Ottawa and the chair of the department there and who for many years has led the cardiac surgery supplement issue. Mark, Tim, welcome. Marc, please introduce this issue for our listeners. Dr Marc Ruel: Thanks so much, James. It's a very exciting year academically for cardiac surgery. We've had a lot of great developments from new data on long-term patency and outcomes with radial artery graphs through the results of the ischemia trial. And I think the 2020 themed issue around cardiovascular surgery is exactly in that framework. I think it will garner wide interest. It has a number of original papers, six original research articles, two more translational papers included in those six. We have two research letters. We have two frame of reference papers as well. And one state-of-the-art piece on exynos transplantation. We always keep in mind to have those issues very relevant to surgeons and to gather the very best cardiovascular surgery science. But in the same token we also want to make sure that they are relevant to the wider cardiovascular community. So I think, and I hope that everyone will enjoy this issue as the very best that's happened in cardiovascular surgery over the year. Dr James de Lemos: Well, thank you, Mark. Let's get started with discussion of the first paper and one that I'm actually quite excited about. This is long-term results of the radial artery CABG in clinical outcomes trials. What did the investigators look at in the study? Dr Marc Ruel: I think this is a very important paper, which adds to the increasing data around long-term benefits of arterial grafts, multi arterial grafts, and more specifically the radial artery. So here's a paper mostly from Australia. First author being Professor Buxton, who is a very well-known senior surgeon who has been really a grandfather in this field. And the last author is David Hare who is a cardiologist, also professor in Australia. And essentially there were two radial artery comparative trials that have been undertaken many years ago, well over a decade ago, when we now have 10-year data on those two trials. One of the trials compared the radial artery to the right internal thoracic artery. And the second trial a little bit smaller to the saphenous is vein grafts. So it holds 400 patients in the first randomized comparison and around 225 in the second, i.e. the radial versus saphenous vein. So it's wonderful that this is very long-term data. We have 10 year patency data, not on all patients. There was a distribution as to when the angiogram or the CT scan would be performed for patency over the course of the 10 years of the study. But the follow up is excellent and there are actually patency as well as clinical differences between the groups. And maybe I can say a couple of things around those. So, in the radial versus right internal thoracic artery cohort, there's both a patency and a mortality as well as a major adverse cardiac events benefit for the radial artery over the right internal thoracic artery. And yes, you've heard right, the comparator is the right internal thoracic artery. Now a couple of chatty it's all the Redis in there had to be done as a free graph. So they are connected. This is an art technique that everyone is very comfortable with and you have to use a six or seven Oh one friable internal thoracic ultra. So it may not really provide or present the call the way at its best advantage. If you will, there may be some benefits or a loss for not having it as a pedicle, but nevertheless, and in the second comparison, looking at the radio versus 225 patients, there was a patiency advantage for the radio Herceptin in Spain. But partly because the comparison was less power than the first, there was no major adverse cardiac event or even mortality difference. So I think again, aligns with the data that we know the arc trial, as we all know, 10 years was neutral. There was no benefit to internal thoracic arteries versus small one, which regards to anything repeat revascularization based mortality. And we know have 10-year data recently published that shows that the radial artery in pooling patient level data from many randomized clinical trials leased their survival benefits. So I think it's fair to say based on available data now with this team issue in 2020 in the fall, that the best second RGO is very likely or radio RV and too many people surprised. Dr Timothy Gardner: Yeah. If I could just add my perspective, there's an editorial by Steve brings on this. This really does solidify the data about long-term radial, artery patency. And that was when I came away with, it's not so much the comparison of the radial on the right internal thoracic, but the fact that the radial artery would be like held up very well. Dr James de Lemos: If you're referring a young patient or considering a young non-diabetic patient for cabbage at this point, was you select a radial artery or right internal memory? Dr Timothy Gardner: Well, I probably would favorite as a second graph the right internal thoracic artery rather than. As a free graph, but I certainly wouldn't hesitate to use the radial artery as the second graph there as a third grade. My competence in the radial artery continues to grow in this report reinforces that. Dr James de Lemos: Excellent really important study for both the cardiac surgeons and the cardiologists that read our journal. Let's switch gears and talk about bowel surgery, Tim, the camera Cardiolite study drills deep into different strategies for repairing the mitral valve. What did we learn there? Dr Timothy Gardner: Well, first of all, this study, which comes from Mark Raul's unit Benson Chan being the first author and address the issue that repair with resection of the mitral valve made me to functional stenosis of the valve. And that has been a concern among surgeons and that has led some surgeons to prefer non-lethal the resections repair. And this study was very carefully done and actually demonstrated that the data did not support the fact that resection versus preservation is this okay with the riff? So I think that, you know, there are various ways to repair the valve. And if you go back to the original descriptions of mitral valve repair resection was a major component for many people in many studies. And this is a reassuring study that either approach appears to be effective without badly under sizing the annulus that there should not be residual mitral stenosis. Dr James de Lemos: Tim is one of these materially easier to do in the operating room. So then it would emerge as the preferred therapy or is it really going to be surgeon dependent. Dr Timothy Gardner: I think it’s fairly surgeons dependent. I mean, we have technical variations for a lot of operations, and I think it's when the surgeon is comfortable with Mark. You might want to comment on that point. Dr Marc Ruel: Yeah, I agree with both of you. I think it's very reassuring because there's the orientation of where the last issue is. Small. The patient's exposure is not knowing that you can use theater technique and in some cases not have to go on to the pathway. We Muscle is a reassuring avenue. So I think every surgeon has her or his preference, but it's nice to know that both these can be used interchangeably without any drawback to the patient. Dr Timothy Gardner: Let's switch gears and talk about a paper that I think has pretty profound implications for both of our specialties. And this is an observational analysis from the RS trial, evaluating the association of postoperative atrial fibrillation in the long-term risk of stroke. Mark, what did you think of this paper and its implications? Dr Marc Ruel: This is a very interesting piece that comes incidentally from the heart trials. So non related to what we were Just discussing before the 3000 patients or so of the art trial were followed at 10 years. Mostly with regards to major adverse cardiac events, et cetera, anything that's related to the question at stake at the time, which was single internal for us, incidentally, the authors have ready data regarding the incidence of stroke at 10 years. And they were able to use those and go back to those stations who have postoperative atrial fibrillation and see if there was a correlation, even when accounting for other factors in the patient profile. So interestingly about 24% of patients have had post-op and post-op you, is defined in variety of ways for this particular study, it was defined as 30 seconds at least of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter during the index hospitalization after the operation. So I think this is a very fair and square type of definition and those patients and those who have the CBA incidents by 10 years was 6.3% versus those who did not have postoperative 3.7%. So this is obviously a significant numerical and also statistically significant higher risk for those patients who have post-operative a-fib. So there's a number of caveats around that. All the risks for post-doc are often the same ones that may lead to the risk of stroke over the long-term. So I think we should see this not as probation. But that should be not even as an association. But certainly as a correlation, but it is really unique data that has not been produced before. Like postoperative is so common after cardiac surgery. It affects many of the patients that both the cardiology and cardiac surgery individuals have to treat. And I think the more information on it, the better, there were a number of interesting observations warfarin, for instance, even though the incidence of post-op 24% was used in only about 8% of the overall trial. So one may debate, have these patients being anticoagulated enough also, would there be a way to provide enhanced surveillance to patients who have post-op in order to maybe catch them prior to them having a cerebral aspir event? So I think it's really very interesting data. I would like to briefly provide one last tidbit of information, which I thought was very, very fasting. So the authors used the CHADS two score in order to kind of ascertain your overall risk attributed to which regards to stroke in those patients. So this is probably the latest and best iteration of the Chad score if you will. And they found that in patients with a score of less than four, so it was zero to three. There was no difference with regards to the incidents of CVA or in signers versus those who have post-op after the operation. However, when the score rich four or higher. This is rare to you where the risk was concentrated. So that particular cohort of patients seemed to be the one where I think the efforts with subsequent studies should be concentrated in order to intervene and hopefully catch these patients who may have atrial fibrillation without having it. Dr James de Lemos: Does this change your practice at all? Do you think, I mean, I guess it's interesting for me because obviously I see a lot of these patients back from surgery and I've tended to candidly ignore short episodes of peri-operative atrial fibrillation. And this really raises questions as to whether that approach is wise and needs to be revisited. Dr Timothy Gardner: I agree completely on the other hand, I think that targeting patients, I mean, I think the last point that Mark made about the patients that ended up with problems with higher AFib and with consequences had other risk factors associated with their risk of stroke. So this continues to be a really tough group to manage. I think that one question that we all have is do the, the, the new novel oral anticoagulant agents provide better long-term protection. As a topic for another important study that should be coming down the pipe pretty soon. Dr James de Lemos: And I'll just point out to our listeners that at the American heart association meeting in November, that late breaking trial will be presented called search AI cardio length that will evaluate extended monitoring creature fibrillation after surgery. And I think that will build off, of this theme that perhaps atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery is a more important tissue than many of us considered. Let's move to the next paper, Tim, this is really right in your wheelhouse in terms of surgical. So specialization. And this is an interesting paper. I thought evaluating variation and congenital heart surgery outcomes across centers in the U.S. and this group really evaluated a large proportion of dissenters doing congenital heart surgery in the U S. Dr Timothy Gardner: Yeah, absolutely. And they made use of the STS database. They've got good data and it is a multi-institutional review group, really looking at how to optimize outcomes. And I think that, the assumption is that regionalization with more attention to high volume centers, especially for the most high risk say neonatal heart surgery is the way to go. But this study actually while demonstrating significant hospital variations also demonstrated that and reading their conclusion. Now a substantial portion of potential improvements that could be realized on a national scale are related to variability among lower risk patients. And this makes me think back to Dr John Kirkland, who was maybe the first one in our field to actually develop a checklist of important steps and management strategies during the surgical procedure in the early post-operative period. He worked with IBM on that. And I think that lesson here that I take away from it is that volume may be important, but not just for the high risk neonatal population, but for all congenital heart surgery patients. And it really is an important specialty. And there may be some opportunities for improvement just by standardizing sort of management of even the lower risk patients. This is one of several reports from this multi-institutional group that is focused on data from the STS database in congenital heart surgery. Good job demonstrating these variations in outcome. Dr James de Lemos: Yeah. And I think tremendously important, right? Because these lower risk in general procedures may be more like other procedures that cardiac surgeons do. And I think you make a great point that these systems based approaches to minimizing variation do seem to matter. And I wouldn't have thought that the, this is another one of the theme really here in the issue where we have a lot of studies that are challenging the way we thought about, common medical and surgical problems, really a fascinating piece. Let me take a moment here to introduce a new member of our team for the themed issue. Mike Fischbein, who's a surgeon scientist at Stanford, a practicing cardiac surgeon on the faculty there, but also runs a large and very successful basic science laboratory. And he has joined the surgical team for the themed issue to add his particular expertise in the evaluation of the basic science papers. Mike, welcome to the team. I think our readers and listeners will really benefit from having your perspective. And I'd like to have you now please talk about the basic science papers here in the issue. Dr Michael Fischbein: Thank you very much, James. It's really a pleasure to be part of a team. The paper that I'd like to discuss today is a feature of basic science paper entitled a Single cell Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Dynamic Cell Populations and Differential Gene Expression Patterns and Control and Aneurysm Human Aortic Tissue. This is from Scott LeMarie group from the Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine. I think this study is very important. It's focusing on the ascending, thoracic aortic aneurysm, as you know, ACE and aortic aneurysms are the second most common aneurysm after abdominal aortic aneurysms. One of the risk factors of ascending aortic aneurysms is that as they grow, they can tear dissect or rupture. Both of which are life-threatening currently the only treatment option is prophylactic surgery. And this is really based on size criteria alone. Now, while over time, we've established that smooth muscle cell loss and exhale and matrix breakdown are important during this process, really the molecular mechanisms or pathophysiology is poorly understood. Therefore, limiting development is novel drug regimen, and this manuscript, the authors use single RNA sequencing to compare the aneurysm wall to normal control. Aorta is taken from transplant recipients. One of the benefits of single cell RNA sequencing is that allows one to identify the cellular components or heterogeneity within the aortic wall. And it also allows us to see the aneurysm relevant transcriptome changes in the major vascular cell types within the aorta. The authors identified 11 major cell types in the aorta, including a number of different smooth muscle cell subtypes and to Celia's cells, fibroblasts and inflammatory cells, including T-cells and macrophages. They found over 500 altered genes comparing the aortic wall to normal control. Mitochondrial dysfunction seemed to be altered in several gene types and they identified a transcripted factor ERG, which stands for Erythroblast Transformative, specific Related Genes to be important in maintaining the normal aortic wall function. And this was reduced specifically in smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts and endothelial cells. This is really an exciting target that may lead to drug development in the future. So thank you very much, James, for allowing me to participate in the group. And I think this will be an exciting paper for the readers. Dr James de Lemos: So Mike, thanks so much. Really appreciate your perspectives here. Another really interesting area that is quite forward-thinking Mark is this idea of 3D printing. Theotic roots and conduits. Tell us about this paper from Joe Woo’s group. Dr Marc Ruel: This is another great contribution from Joe's lab. Looking at the issue around bell spring, and many would call it bear hair because essentially they preserve and surgeons go to great pain and great strides to try to recreate if you will be normal slash nets, these geology and aortic root sinuses. And many of us, when we do this operation are taking great minutia and creating those. And there's a number of things that happen. And all of these techniques vary from the more approach of just taking a straight to, and essentially reinventing the native aortic valve and connecting the coronary buttons. So Joe's lab wanted to study this with regards to the translationally relevant outcome of opening velocity and closing gossip with regards to the RP pal. And they've done this 3D printed biomechanical study, aware they have used for signing LT. Val, that'd be put into these different configurations, some including Neil, if you will, some including what we call a bell solver type of breath and using the natives or signing as a control in the same 3d biomechanical model. And essentially the conclusions of the study, which is free, elegant be performed and Bree compelling from a data point of view is that a simpler appears to be better too many. I'm sure the investigators I'm sure what will be many readers price. These trade routes' configuration without Neil sinuses seem to have the lowest coast opening and closing velocity. So it would suggest that this may translate into longer term durability of the valve. Now, there are other reasons why someone, for instance, the one I do this operation, I like to use Valsalva graft. It's not because I so strongly believe that Neo sinus type should be there is because it also gives enhance an easier reach to the corny about adding a vertical followed by a horizontal type of pattern I find is a bit more reliable and it may not really matter what the opening and closing philosophies are because those files are not intrinsically abnormal. So they may last for many decades going forward. But nevertheless, I think this is a very important study and series of experiments, and we're very happy to include it in the theme this year. Dr Timothy Gardner: Yeah. And if I could just add the thing that I admire most about this study is that not just how they come up with this innovative, 3D printing way to model, but the team included mechanical engineers and bioengineers at Stanford, and that's adding real substantial science to what some surgeons have theorized about. So this is a small study, but the results are quite interesting. Let's talk now. Dr James de Lemos: It's about this remarkable Primer that we've had on critics, transplantation. This is something I wouldn't have imagined five years ago would be something we'd have even considered close enough to clinical application to publish in circulation. But what's different about this now and what should our readers look to in the future with this technique. Dr Timothy Gardner: This paper comes from a group at the Mass General [Hospital]. They've continued to work on Xenotransplantation as a possible solution to the need for new donor organs. And I think the most remarkable thing is after almost silence for 10 years, they have outlined the possibility much more realistically now of coming up with Xenotransplantation as a usable alternative, based on some very important basic science work that others have done in baboons and that they have model into additional experiments. This is what was a very informative article for me. And it's still some ground to cover, but they've really worked away at the science and think that they believe that they're nearing the point where they know transplantation or for cardiac replacement is a possibility. Again, amazed I sort of thought Xenotransplantation was an impossible dream 10 years ago. And here we are, perhaps at the point where it is more of a realistic possibility. Dr James de Lemos: Really remarkable. When you think about these technologic advances that are getting so much closer to clinical application. Well. Dr Timothy Gardner: Thank you both. I'd like to take just a moment to recognize Sara O'Brien in [the] Circulation Editorial Offices in Boston for her remarkable contributions yet again, to pulling this issue together and keeping Mark and Tim and Mike and myself on task to bring this issue home. And thank Mark Tim and Mike for pulling together. What I really believe is far and away, our finest issue. We're talking here in my opinion about multiple studies that changed the way we think about cardiovascular surgery and its complications, including atrial fibrillation that affects all of us in cardiovascular medicine. Dr James de Lemos: Marc, would you like to make some final comments as we wrap up today? Dr Marc Ruel: Absolutely. I could not agree more with your statement, James. I think this is a team effort and I want to be cognizant to the leadership of Circulation for as the premier cardiovascular journal, recognizing the importance of cardiovascular surgery in the field and dedicating an issue through what is best that's happened over the last academic year or so. We want this issue to continue for all time. And I think it's very well started and it's growing nicely. And thanks to the efforts of many, including of people on this call today. I hope that our readers will like it and I foresee it will garner interest even beyond the strict fields of cardiovascular surgery but to the entire cardiovascular community.

This podcast is all about connection, conversation and community. On today’s episode, we’re diving deeper into these three "C's" with the idea of Waves and Ripples. I’ll be sharing some of my favorite stories, and Jason Meucci will join us in a special segment to share the waves and ripples in his life, which he connects to the Higher Purpose Podcast. Waves and Ripples Both waves and ripples are movements of water or liquid in response to a stimulus. The scientific definition of a wave is "a moving disturbance in the level of a body of water" — there is motion there. There is action, there is energy. Both definitions include movement and a response to some type of stimulus: something has to start the movement. The distinction is that waves move you in a specific direction, whereas a ripple is a far-flung effect of something. Opportunities in action Imagine yourself sitting at the edge of the water, watching and listening to the waves. That’s one way to enjoy a wave’s impact. But unless you seize the opportunity, take action, and jump into the wave to have it carry you somewhere — you’re just sitting on the shore. You need deliberate and intentional action. Jason Meucci’s waves and ripples Jason has not only ridden waves and ripples, but has also created plenty of his own that we can trace through the Higher Purpose Podcast. He shares the story of getting to work with Jake Haupert after listening to him on an episode. They’re spreading the word about how transformational travel works to make the world a better and more connected place, a project that has potentially global ripples. He also shares a story about connecting with Bernadette Jiwa through the podcast, who, within a week, had sent him a box of her books from Australia for him to share. That’s a ripple that has bounced from the podcast in Georgia, to Jason in Washington, to Bernadette in Australia, and back to Washington — and who knows where else! He talks about meeting and becoming friends with Renee Smith and Tyler Adams through the podcast, and says he can list another ten to a dozen people he’s connected with through the podcast. All of this because he decided to take action, get involved, get to know these people and invest in their relationships. More waves and ripples The first ever episode with Mark Tim was an introduction through Chris Patten. The Profile of Purpose Series, made up of conversations with 12 business owners who are in the business of purpose, also came as part of a wave. My friendship with Marcel Schwantes led to an introduction to Mike Vacanti, which then kicked off the HumansFirst series on the podcast (and the waves and ripples from each of my guests on the series!) and my involvement with the HumansFirst Club — which also led to my hosting the HumansFirst Hangout, which has been another set of waves and ripples all of its own! A call to action I want to invite you to share your waves and ripples story that is somehow connected to the tsunami effect of the Higher Purpose Podcast. Go to kevindmonroe.com/waves and you’ll find a page and instructions to record a voice message and share your story. If you record it by Saturday, June 15, you’ll be able to hear it on our 100th milestone episode airing on June 25.
Tim: Welcome to Slave Stealer podcast! This is Tim Ballard and Mark Mabry talking about the darkest plague that exists on this earth today and seeking the solution. We have a guest on today that, I think, is part of the solution. I really believe - and I have, for years, believed - that the reason we can't put our arms around this problem and squeeze it to death - this problem of trafficking and human slavery - is because people don't know it's there. They don't believe it's real. Or they see something and they turn their head as fast as they can. And so, at Operation Underground Railroad, we have a unique approach, I think. We're not just waving this banner of darkness. There's a lot of organizations - and God bless all of them for what they're doing. The programs that are about awareness often are just waving a flag of depression and darkness, and you look and you're like, "Eek, oh oh yeah, here's my five dollars - now never contact me again," and off they go. They don't want to see it. That's not our message. Our message is light. Light. Light in the darkness. Because we provide a solution. We're going in and extracting. We are providing law enforcement with tools: digital tools, computer tools, training, undercover tactics - everything you would need to know to run an investigation. Mark: You're staring the bad guys in the eyes. Tim: That's right. Mark: And how many organizations actually touch the bad guy? Tim: Yeah, we touch the bad guy, we throw his face in the ground and put him away. That's what we do! And that is light - that's hope. And so, we try to push out that light. And one of the ways we do that is by showing people what we do. There's a team of cameras that follows us around, and we show people what we do. And when those traffickers go away, the world gets a little brighter. And when the next trafficker goes away, the world gets brighter still. And that's the light that we're building. See, Montel Williams - who is our guest today - he understands that. He understands that if you shine a light, people will get on board. If you shine a light, the bad guys hate that light! So they're going to go away. If they don't end up in jail, they're going to be so antagonistic to that light that they're going to crawl up like little bugs and go away. And hide. And Montel gets that. And he's the kind of voice that we need to be loud and proud and share this light. So that's going to be his message. Mark: He's a passionate guy. As you're saying, he blew up Facebook a couple of times this year, and Twitter. And even in our conversation with him, he starts out kind of a low simmer and then just crescendoes. And I think you guys will enjoy... Tim: Yeah, yeah. You don't want to get in his way, man. Mark: No. Tim: When he starts moving, you do not want to get in his... I do not want to be a trafficker in the path of Montel Williams when things get hot. And things get hot with this guy. Mark: He was a Marine, he attended the Naval Academy, he had a career in the military. People don't realize how bad he actually is. Tim: Oh yeah, no no. He's...he's tough as nails. Mark: And he delivers, so it's a great interview. Tim: Yep. Mark: Let's go to it. Tim: Alright, roll it! Mark: Tim started to tell me about how you guys met, but his version was really weak compared to what I think yours probably is (no offense, Tim). Montel: It was literally the morning after the Stadium of Fire. I went up to the breakfast lounge in the place we were staying at, and literally, you know, Tim walked in the door and shut me down. And his speech was just ridiculous the night before. You know, I work on a lot of issues. I’m involved in things that most people don’t even have the slightest idea that I’ve been involved with for years now. Everything from...veteran issues, but I’ve also been deeply involved in trying to help heal some of the wounds that our veterans have faced from war. And those wounds are deep, especially when it comes to traumatic brain injury. And I was blessed to be able to get involved in a process...a study with a medical device that now is going to - over the next year to two years - prove out to be one of the first lines of defense, I think, for many symptoms of traumatic brain injury. We are in the middle of...doing one of the most comprehensive traumatic brain injury studies the world has seen at three centers of excellence. And I only say this because, you know, I’m involved in issues. And why? Because, you know, I got involved... I'm a board member of Fisher House. I was visiting our soldiers 3-4 years ago for...almost every three weeks, I was going down to see every new batch of soldiers that had flown in from Germany or from London, and just going down and visiting troops. So, you know, I’ve been moved by that issue, and then I’ve been involved in things from teen suicide prevention - it’s another issue that I’ve been in for, that I’ve been working on. And then to sit in that room and hear Tim discuss the mission - his emotional, moving story about saving children’s lives. Mark: Anything you remember in particular - like a line that he said, something that stuck? Montel: You know, I mean, I could say, sitting like...as I sit here right now and I think about what Tim had to say...you know, there was a call to action. There was a call to step up to the plate and understand what’s going on. And even though I understood as I was sitting at the table, I’m looking at the reactions of the people in the room around me, and you can look and see that some of these people...even though you hear about it, you see it on the news - it goes right over their head. It wasn’t until, I think, they caught the emotion that is involving what Tim had to say, that I saw the emotion start to well up in them. So again, I walk into this lounge, and I was again blown away. All I felt was that I needed to do whatever I could to help Tim make his mission more complete. So, you know, I think I said immediately - "Whatever you need from me, whatever you want from me, I’m there. And let's go." Tim: I think it was your birthday, wasn’t it, Montel? Montel: Yeah, as a matter of fact, it was on my birthday. As a matter of fact, it was on my birthday. It was the 3rd. That’s right. The night before was the event on the 2nd, and I had brought in four of [inaudible] dinner. One of the other award recipients was Master Sgt. Cedric King, who is a double amputee, a war hero of extraordinary proportion, who was on that stage. So it was very moving the night before to have had him come in and then to meet Tim. And then I wake up - it's the 3rd - and I told, you know, all the guys from the stadium...I said, "Look, I need to have at least that one day off." I was going to chill. Honestly, I think I worked for about an hour on the phone, just coordinating - trying to figure out who I was going to talk to as soon as we got past the holiday to figure out how we were going to come together. Tim: Man, it was an amazing experience for me. I mean, I was starstruck - I'm not going to lie - when you walked into the...you know, because the night before, I knew you were in the audience, and I'm like, ‘I wonder if I'll get to meet Montel.’ And then, the next day, I'm getting hot chocolate with my kids, and there he was! It was a small little kind of kitchen, you know, and there he was, face to face. And it was an emotional moment for both of us, I think. Montel: Yeah, yeah, really - an extremely emotional moment. And that’s part of the reason why I think I just really need to help and try to be involved. I have people who are of like mind, who think the way I do, who have been in my corner in my entire professional career, and especially the media. And, you know, those people are very vocal, and they want to be heard. And I think if I reach out to them and let them know that we are involved and we are going to now do some things that before today, I think, have not been done. Yeah, we call out some of these pigs - you know, there are so many shows and it comes and it goes. I want to really, really figure out a way so we get the message out there that is a continual message - in the face, bigger than, you know, the campaigns that they are running right now nationally to stop people from smoking. If you are so stupid that you’ll put a cigarette in your mouth right now and wreck your lungs, then I would rather take the money that’s being spent there to put a message out right now that our children are being exploited, raped, and sent around this planet, and you...really... If we can’t get to an understanding and get that in people’s faces, so much so... I hate the commercials that they have been running, you know, where you have the people who are in the hospital on the third lung, and they're showing me all the body parts of people who are ravaged by cancer because they are smoking. I want to show people the ravaging of what’s been happening with our children - get it in your face so hard that you say, "Enough, don’t show me that anymore!" and you do something about it. Tim: I love hearing this, Montel, because a confusion to me is why are we not seeing that, even in politics and in debates. It should be... I mean, this is the fastest criminal enterprise on the planet. Why aren’t we talking about it? What’s the reason, do you think, that people are shying away? Montel: Why is it growing so fast? Why is it growing so fast? Tim, I bet you, man, you’ve got this, man. Look, it’s growing so fast because of, I think, money. You know, we have the largest disparity of wealth in the world, but we have the largest number of millionaires, uber billionaires, millionaires, hundred... guys, people who have wealth, sitting around, that think that their wealth can hide them and keep them hidden from the truth. It got to be because dude, I mean, you know, the plane tickets cost money. To be able to buy a child, it costs money. You know, to be able to do this and not have anybody catch you: it costs money. And that’s what’s happening. And so why aren’t politicians talking about it? I don’t want to be a pig when I say this, but maybe some of them have friends or relatives or cousins that they know are the people doing this. Because that’s the only reason why this would not be... You know, it’s like all day long - I’m out here, I went snowboarding today, you know. This is the open season and it’s a beautiful day today, but then I realized I had this interview to do with you, and all afternoon I’ve been like...it’s been, you know, my heart’s pounding because I’m just so angry. And it’s just the same reason why, in the last three weeks, why all we keep hearing from our politicians is how quickly they want to send another American child off to die. They really...they want to go put 'boots on the ground, boots on the ground,' - you can’t even pay for the health care for the ones we have that have already put the boots on the ground! Tim: Yeah. Montel: But we want to put them on the ground. And yeah, we may need to, but let’s be a little bit more compassionate in our rally to send them off to battle. Now, if we're willing to do that, and these politicians are jumping up and down in every one of their debates to say those things, why do we not - in the same conversation and debate - talk about how are we going to help heal the delays in the treatment of those who have already served? We can’t say that because we know that we have...their friends are the ones who are part of the problem. So I’m starting to think that maybe that’s what's going on. We've got too many people of wealth who are hiding, just the same way as we have terrorists who are living double lives as Americans. And we’ve got rich people who can afford to do this - living double lives - they're right under the surface and we're letting them get away with it. And I’m open Tim - you know. dude, I’m not afraid. I am NOT afraid. I will take that shot, my friend. Tim: And we need you to take that shot - we want you to. And you know what we do. If these guys want to get into the market cause they want those kids, we meet them there and that’s where we can expose them. We meet them there - we’ve already done it dozens of times, hundreds of kids we’ve pulled out, over a hundred travellers or traffickers in jail... I think you and I were talking about this when we met over the 4th of July. It’s about shining those faces of those guys who are hiding - shine them everywhere, put them on billboards, make everyone know that you CANNOT hide behind your money. We will meet you in the dark place and we will expose you once you are there. Montel: I'm telling you... Call them out - that’s what we've got to do. So, you know what? You know, it’s going to be holiday season, we're going to take a little break, alright? I want to hit the ground running in January if we can figure out...like I’m working on some projects right now. You know, I'm working on a couple of projects right now that are media projects that... You know, if I do some things for some people, then maybe I can ask them to do some things for us. Let’s figure out a way then we can get something on the air - I mean, you know, ‘America’s Most Wanted,’ you know, whatever. Tim: Yeah. Montel: I got happy, I got tired. That did a lot of good in some cases because you did cover some of those cases of child abuse, but I really think that we need to have a steady stream - not just the TV show, but I’m telling you, like, I would love to right now in the middle of this live CNN... I’ve got CNN on and the second they go to commercial: bang-bang. I want to jump right to a commercial about a child that has been exploited - this is going on, and this is the guy who worked in Chicago at such and such bank, was a bank president, he lived in this neighborhood, this is his family, and you need to understand that this guy thought he was getting away with it, and he’s been doing it and now he's crying like a stuffed pig because he’s in jail, and he knows that when we let him out in the population that they don’t like little child molesters like that, and while he's crying like a piggy, he's talking about the fact that he’s been doing this for the last 10 years and got away with it right beside you. Tim: That’s right. Montel: How could you let this person live next to you?! That’s the story that needs to be told, man. Tim: Yes! Yes it is! Montel: And I want to help you tell them. Tim: And we need your help. We can get into the dark and shine the light, pull them out, but we need people like you to make it loud because we’re still learning how to do that. So we appreciate that. Montel: Well, just the fact that you're blogging right now, and the fact that people are going to tune in. Maybe they'll listen to me today. They'll say, I want to see what they're going to do. Montel, please, what are you going to do? You know, this could be a regular from us. Let’s come together every couple of weeks and let's talk about the plans that we put in place, the things that we can talk about. I also, you know, it’s like...you know, I think in some ways... I worked in intelligence my entire time I was in the military. I had top secret inside clearance - I can say that right now. I had one of the highest clearances that the military had at the time. I ran a couple programs. I get part of the problem that we are having right now when it [the military] looks at international terrorism. The problem is the fact that we keep giving out all the secrets. We keep telling them every level of encryption that we have the ability to break so they can find a new one that we can’t break. I don’t want to give them too much - I want to show America while you can complain all you want about the Taliban, you know...we're going to fix that problem. You haven’t even blinked at trying to fix the real one. Let’s fix this one, because this is the one that’s going to destroy us from within. We can see the devastation now in children as they grow older and older and now have the revelation of what was done to them. Those are the ones that weren’t even trafficked. Tim: Right. Montel: So, you know, I mean, honestly, America’s got a reckoning. And, you know, we can’t put one... You know, it’s like, you know, do you pick the worst problem and put that first, or do you fix the problems you have? I say we go after both of them at the same time, and I think America has got the stomach for it. It just hasn’t heard the voice loud enough. And I have a voice of couple of people that I think might want to bring this forward as part of their national campaign. Mark: I was going to ask you about that, Montel. I know, from your social feeds, you are a friend of Governor Kasich, and I about came out of my chair with glee the other night watching that debate, and I heard the words ‘human trafficking’. Montel: Yes. Mark: And they came out of his mouth, and those words have not been uttered in a presidential debate, in the last couple of debates. I need to go to do a word cloud or something to find out, but he did it. And so, we have a little segment on our show, called ‘The Big Ask’ with a K. And, I have a big ask for you. I thought...you know, when I heard him say that, I was waiting for somebody to wax poetic and do something lofty on trafficking, but of course they went right back to Donald calling Jeb not powerful, or whatever his word was. So, here’s my big ask for Montel Williams: I want you, because I know you are capable and I’ll be probably in tears by the time you’re done, to picture yourself on the stage, cameras on you - it is Montel Williams’, 'I want your vote for president, and my platform is human trafficking.' Can you give me that lofty speech that will make me hear the music coming in by the end? Montel: You know how they give you the highlights before the debates... Mark: Yeah, get me fired up a little bit. Montel: You know, maybe what I should say is that if right now we are living in a time in America where the entire focus of the nation...in some ways, I understand, because there has been enough fear-mongering to make us believe that the entire focus of everything we do as a government should be focused on terrorism. But, you know, America has to continue to survive, has to continue to grow, has to rely on its most sacred treasure, and that’s America’s children. Now, I don’t care what source you listen to, what side of the fence you're on: Republican, Democrat, conservative, liberal. It doesn’t matter. If you are listening to all of your pundits, they will tell you at worst case, worst case in this country today, we have probably, okay...twenty, forty, fifty, let’s say there might have been a hundred terrorists who snuck in - they are under the radar, we need to put money in finding them. I agree. But, excuse me, we have 1.5 million children who are victims in 2012 to human trafficking, and we know that 85% of them have been trafficked for sex. And these are children, American children. So, I say that that’s a million and a half lives that from this point forth will forever be changed, a million and a half a year. In fifteen years, they got 20 million children who have to as they grow to adults, as they’ve been saved, brought back into the society and trying to be contributing numbers to that society. I say we got the Taliban under control. I don’t care if it’s two years, three years - it’s thirty years. This is part of America’s structure, America’s fabric. So, I can stand around and argue about who’s got more money in the bank, who thinks that they are tougher at fighting bad guys who are trying to hurt us ideologically. I want to find out who’s tough enough to turn in their neighbor, who’s tough enough to fight the fight of saving and preserving America’s future beyond the next five years. So, 2.5, 1.5 million...on the other side of ridiculous. The United States alone should be in the position to raise enough money to impact this, and we will send money everywhere else in the world. We will fight everybody else’s problem to try to force something down on someone’s throat that doesn’t want it, and we are willing to protect America’s precious treasure right here. I don’t know... If you want to protect America’s treasure, vote for me, if you want to continue on this normal...pick the other guy. Tim: You got my vote! Mark: Montel 2020, baby! Woo! Tim: I love it, I love it! And, now the good thing is that we are going to do something about this, and I hope we can have you back on the show many many times as we develop our plan and say the things we can. But let’s do this! We’re going to do this. Montel: Let’s do it! Now, you got me to say publicly, I make it as a public promise, man. I’m working with you - we'll get this done. Tim: Awesome! We love you, man! Thanks so much! Montel: Thank you, sir! Mark: Montel for president, baby! You said, you know, the government is leading, but in terms of being loud about it, how often do you hear nationally-placed officials talking about human trafficking in prime time? Tim: They're not! And that’s where the leadership is lacking. There’s no strong leader in all of our potential leaders. It’s not even on their agenda and I don’t know why it’s not! I don’t think they all have friends...I mean, that’s an interesting point that Montel brings up - I don't think it's like they all have friends who are engaging in this kind of stuff. I mean, I’m sure some of them do. I think it’s a dark topic that no one wants to talk about. It hurts to talk about it. Mark: It’s weird because governments usually... These guys will go on talk shows and talk about something then not do anything about it, but this is the opposite. It seems that they are legislating and making a little headway, but they're not talking about it - it’s lacking the component that we hate the most, generally speaking, that is, the flapping gums of politicians. Tim: I think the reason... It’s not that they don’t know... Mark: Yeah they know, they just... Tim: They know it’s an issue. Here’s why they don't talk about it. Look, they're pandering, they are all pandering to voters, right. They need voters to weigh in. So, I really do think this: if they believed that the voters knew what was going on, they would talk about it. But they are saying to themselves, why am I going to introduce a new topic? - relatively new, right. Why am I going to introduce a topic that’s not going to help me get elected because the electorate doesn’t know? And if they don’t know, they don’t care. So let’s talk about things that we know they care about. So our job, more than try to convert or try to influence these candidates or elected leaders to do something... I think our job is to light a fire under the people - the Harriet Beecher Stowe approach, where she lit a fire under the people. They read her book by the millions, and they said, "What is going on?! I didn’t really know - I mean, I heard of slavery, but I’ve never seen it. I’ve never travelled down there, in the South, and saw it," and she lit a fire there. And then they got so loud that folks like Abraham Lincoln and others had to respond. Mark: Yeah. Tim: And the response ended slavery. So I really think a lot of this is exposing this issue, shining a light, letting the people see. When the people care, the candidates will care. Mark: And, it seems like Montel... He’s one of those populist heroes in the last two decades - had a huge show in the 90’s, he’s got total social clout now, he’s moved kind of into this activist realm, and he’s got tons, his hands on tons of pods, but it’s that type of guy that can talk to big groups. And the talk show people - Oprah, Montel, you know, from the heyday of afternoon talk shows that would make people cry every afternoon...that would be, seemingly, a way to engage people. And he could be that guy. Tim: Yeah. He’s going to be that guy. I mean, he’s that voice we are going to need. And he’s not going to be a ‘one and done interview’ - he is committed. I spent a couple of days with him, over the 4th... Man, I’m telling you he believes this. He believes in it, and he is going to help us. Mark: Yeah. Tim: He's going to be instrumental. Tim: This show is sponsored by one of my favorite companies on the face of the earth, Hylete. In fact, I’m wearing - let me stand up so you can see - I’m wearing Hylete shorts right now. Mark: Those are really handsome. Tim: I wear Hylete shorts pretty much every day, because here at the headquarters of Operation Underground Railroad is a CrossFit gym that is very fruitful for the foundation. All the money that we make in the CrossFit gym comes back into the foundation. So we’re grateful for the CrossFit gym, and we’re grateful to Hylete who’s been a proud sponsor, who’s been able to not only outfit some of our guys, but make some awesome contributions. They made an OUR shirt, Hylete OUR shirt - their clothes are designed for intense fitness, like CrossFit. They made a Hylete/OUR shirt that all the proceeds came back to us, and we’ve been able to make thousands of dollars, and we continue our partnership in the coming years. So thank you to our partners and friends over at Hylete. Buy their clothes, and go work out!
