Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Klay, Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. With peace talks underway.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We do know that Trump administration hopes to end the
Russia Ukraine War by the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
President Trump confirming.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
That his Special Envoice Steve Whitkoff, is headed to Moscow
next week where he'll meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
What is Foxes Trey yinkesd As President Trump continues to
clean up the disaster that Joe Biden left us. You know,
first hour Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck Verse hour,
we were talking about the horrific terror attack, the two
West Virginia Guardsmen that were attacked on Wednesday, one dead,
(00:46):
one critical condition, the impact that all of the Biden
immigration policy has had, the huge escalation in crime that
we saw with the Biden administration, the problems that we
are dealing with daily, but that we're also making progress,
that we do have over two million deportations that have
(01:09):
taken place. We got to run rate this about four
to one. Those that are taking a look at places
like Alligator Alcatraz and going you know what think, Oh,
just go ahead and leave on my own which by
the way, is a lot more efficient for you and
me as taxpayers. And so however they want to go,
it's great if they're gone. But the other big messes
(01:30):
the President's been cleaned up all throughout the year, all
the wars, right, all these wars that we have had
that have been endless because why Joe Biden was president
of the United States, his weakness, that collapse in Afghanistan,
it all kind of ties back around.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I mean, you had word was out on the street.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It wasn't like Joe Biden was an unknown commodity to
world leaders, dictators, tyrants when he became president. But the
moment that we had that after collapse, well that was
open season for all the bad actors around the world,
and of course Putin right there at the top of
the list. One things you always have to remember is
(02:11):
that anytime that we are talking about Russia, we're never
talking about just Russia.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Anytime we're talking about China.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
We're never just talking about China, because these countries the
kind of like.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
The new Axis.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Powers, if you will, China is Russia, Russia is Iran,
China is Russia is Iran is North Korea with a
little rocket man, it's also Cuba, it's also Venezuela, it's
also Nicaragua. All these bad actors, bad countries that have
(02:51):
been conspiring with one another, that had four years of proliferation.
President Trump has been working to undo the problems associated
with that weakness. Better news is that we're on the
brink of unprecedented peace now in this second hour. Thank
(03:11):
you so much for taking the time with us this
Thanksgiving weekend, and I really hope that we would have
a different start to the show than talking about the
horrific terror attack in DC and going through all those
things coming up. In the third hour, we're going to
end up diving into trump Care. I have been working
on the healthcare issue for literally decades, and I am
(03:31):
so thrilled that Senator Rick Scott is working on it
the way that he currently is, because the way the
legislation is being written for trump Care will solve will
solve our healthcare crisis if it becomes law. I'm going
to break all that down, explain why this is different
and the historic opportunity that exists. But we also have
(03:53):
some encouraging news here with this unprecedented peace opportunity. And
by the way, you can catch me socially at Brian
Mudd Radio, the Brian Mud Show podcast, wherever you get
your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Would appreciate it if you check it out.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Says, we're taking a look at the opportunity for unprecedented
piece that's come out of the Biden disaster. We've witnessed
stuff this year that really is unprecedented, really is unprecedented,
and what we continue to witness regularly is history because
already we've had a lot of things that probably didn't
(04:28):
think we would happen. For example, you go back last
month and what happened with the Israel Hamas peace steal.
First of all, I never thought we were getting those
twenty remaining living hostages back. I never thought they were
coming out alive. Only Trump can do something like that.
Never thought that we would end up seeing the prospect
(04:51):
of Middle East peace. But that is what's come about,
why because of Trump dropping the mops more than in
the moment, and one of the things you think about
as Trump has truly been bringing the world together, there
really has been unity that we have not seen. Just
take a look at all the countries, for example, with
(05:13):
the Israel Hamasteel that were on hand that's signing in Egypt.
You had Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Maladives, Mauritania, Morocco, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan.
(05:38):
The PLO is there, the Palestinian Authority, Tatar or Cutter
if you can prefer, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Somalia, Spain, Soudan, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey,
the United Arab Emirates, the UK, and of course US,
the United States. Who else in the world could have
brought so many varied countries together for around Israel, And
(06:02):
so that in and of itself is incredible. As President
Trump continues to make progress with the Abraham Accords as well,
and talked that hey, Saudi Arabia might be getting close
to signing on and so if that happens, truly truly
history and the making. But one of the things that
(06:24):
we saw just there was no doubt that Donald Trump
had credibility on the world stage.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It all started in his first term when he said
he was going to bomb the blank out of Isis.
When he became president and he became president, he bombed
the blank out of Isis and their calife and everything else. Gonzo, Well,
there was no doubt that he was going to restore
credibility and strength to the United States Again what he
(06:50):
did to undo very quickly the abomination that was the
Biden administration and the weakness of the US and the
world stage. It all happened when Trump dropped those mops
and ended Iran's nuclear program. You think about this, and
there's so much these inflection points, so much weakness portrayed
(07:14):
with the collapsed Afghan withdrawal by the Biden administration. So
much that was demonstrated with Trump's willingness to drop the
most deadly, most destructive bombs of a.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Non nuclear nature that exists.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
And so that really has brought about increase opportunities for peace,
many of which we have seen. When you take a
look at the precision of that attack on Iran taking
out the nuclear program doing what How longly have we
talked about the Iran nuclear program?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Are you and US presidents and leaders from around the
world for decades?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Was Iran can never have a nuclear weapon? And then
when we do, like you and nonsense, we're gonna have
We're gonna have inspectors in there, and that'll be great. Well,
just all of it was always absurd, and then Trump
it's like, screw this, I'm gonna drop the mops. And
by the way, remember over the summer and the immediate
aftermath of all that you had, all the the morons
(08:18):
on the left are like, the nuclear program isn't destroyed.
You notice how nobody says that anymore. You realize how
that just kind of went away after a little while.
Why because Aron's nuclear programs destroyed? And what did that do?
It opened up the opportunity for the rest of those
Arab countries that were in question and going, you know what,
maybe those Abraham Accords a pretty good idea. Yeah, we'll
(08:39):
go ahead, mister, mister Trump. We'll we'll go ahead, mister President,
and make sure that Hamas doesn't do anything else.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
We got this.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
All part of the credibility and not having those nuclear
threats hanging over the region. So every day that Joe
Biden was president of the United's world was less safe.
Every day that Donald Trump is president of the United States,
the world is a safer place, and certainly our country.
(09:11):
So when you take a look at the Israel Hamas
peace deal.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
President Trump had this to say at the time.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
He said, I think it really started when we took
out the nuclear capability of Iran. When you look at
what they had, you couldn't have made this deal with
someone sitting over there with a nuclear weapon over your head.
And so about this, just as Truman dropping the bombs
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki into World War two, dropping the
mops destroying Nran's nuclear capabilities, that became the key to
(09:37):
Middle East piece, but also critically important, it helped the
US regain the remaining credibility necessary to project something other
than being a paper tiger. And you've got to have
the strongest of strongest leadership positions to do away with
Putin and his ambitions and a deal with somebody like
(09:58):
she in China. And so here we are with serious
peace talks that are in place with Russia and Ukraine.
And look, I mean, until we get there, we're not there.
But you have now had Putin himself who has come
out and said, yeah, we're in serious discussions, and he's
seeing he's saying stuff that you know is still highly questionable,
(10:21):
which you would expect for any number of reasons, but
putting himself confirming, yeah, we're in serious piece talks. No
chance that is happening without all of these success and
all of the strength that has been projected by President Trump,
and so credibility and strength has always been key when
dealing with the world's worst actors. What President Trump has
(10:43):
done in a matter of months isn't just brokering the
eight different peace deals within sixteen different countries that have
taken place so far. President Trump, he prevented World War
three while simultaneously bringing peace to the Middle East, and
now it appears increasingly likely Ukraine, like we really can
get there. There appears to be a path forward, which,
(11:06):
by the way, here at home demonstrates that it is
in fact the Democrats who are divisive and petty. Now
President Trump. It's the great irony. You know, people will go, oh,
look at it used.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
To be ooh the mean Trump tweets.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
And now it's all these bad orangemen post on truth,
just so divisive.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Who's really divisive?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
President Trump, who's proven himself to be one of the
greatest unifiers in human history, literally bringing very difficult world
circumstances these leaders together in the name of peace making
things happen, or your TDS riddled Democrats that exist from
your city council to Washington, DC. You know, they say
he's the divider. They stand in opposition to him every
(11:50):
step of the way, and including recently during the longest
partial government shut down in history, which illustrates a couple points.
The first is that you have thirty four the federal
government that was shut down forever five weeks, and did
anything in your life actually change?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Now? The answer was for about twenty seven percent of people.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Yeah, like if you are a federal government employee directly
impacted right around that periphery or near the end of it,
if you were traveling got caught up in some of
the mess, the answer is yes. But actually the answer
is that seventy three percent of Americans approximately saw no impact.
Never would have even known there's a partial government shut
down if you didn't hear it in the news every day.
So we shut down over a third of the federal
government for over five weeks, and you had over seventy
(12:34):
percent of Americans who had no impact. So that illustrates
the point about how much government blow there is and
how much opportunity there is to do something about it.
But it also was crystal clear for the entire world
to see the true identity of the divisive hatefield and
dangerous party in this country, because how petty do these
elected miscreens continue to look as they endlessly conspire against
(12:58):
the world's top unifier. You take a look at Trump
and how we must be viewed by world leaders with
all of this piece that's taking place, him doing what
nobody else can do. And then Democrats and their tts nonsense,
and they always the left, always talking about the world
leaders in the world stage, the United States. We got
to yeah, who who looks like the pack of foals here?
(13:22):
Who are the real dividers? And so President Trump is
involved in historic unification, historic peace on a scale that
we've never seen. And it's without a doubt your Democrats,
your tds ors that are the divisive ones within this country. Now,
there's a lot of good that President Trump has been
(13:44):
up to, not just in combating the illegal immigration crisis,
but also the Narco tear campaign, taken down the Narco terrorists,
those boot runners. I'm going to give you the latest
on how much progress we're making there and the impact
it's already had in our communities. Something else you won't
hear any where else. Brian mud In for Claim Buck.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
People in the Biden administration said the Afghan withdrawal that
we all know was disastrous was a success. And that's
a quote. They called that a success. That chaos is
not a success. That is a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
US attorney for DC Janine Piro, talking about the collapse
in Afghanistan back in August in twenty twenty one where
we started the show, and how we.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Are still paying the price.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You had thirteen American servicemen and women that lost their
lives during that collapse in Afghanistan, along with all the
other horrible things that did not need to happen that
happened right down to China gaining all that access to
US military equipment, to minerals, everything else in Afghanistan just ridiculous.
But now we continue to see another life, laws a
(15:00):
fourteenth life lost from that August twenty twenty one collapse
by Joe Biden his administration, the weakness, and we just
pray that there isn't a fifteenth by the time this
is all said and done. And so every single day
that Joe Biden was President of the United States, this country,
the world was the less safe place every single day
(15:21):
that Donald Trump is president of the United States. This country,
this world is a safer place, period. And that comes
right down to the narco terror campaign. Trump's anti narco
terror campaign, and even some of the right have been
I don't know about this, were what about due process
for these terrorists that are drug running? I mean, the
(15:44):
first thing about these boats that go boom when Trump
has dropped these bombs. First thing about it, if you
have an active terrorist attack, do you do you try
to figure out what the path forward for due processes
or do you stop the active terror.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
It's like Bill Clinton.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I know Bill Clinton was on a golf course when
they said, hey, we have a shot here at Osama
bin Laan, Like now, got a little busy here on
the golf course, and so nine to eleven happened because
Clinton didn't want to take that shot. I think it's
better to take the shots and not worry about the
due process for the terrorists that are drug running. And
so I'm going to bring you some of the information
(16:23):
about how much progress has actually been made, how many
lives have already been saved because boats go boom and
we're blowing up Narco terrorists. We're also going to get
the perspective from Florida's Attorney General, James Southmeyer on this one,
as Florida's been on the top states, so it's boats
were heading bri mud in for Clay and Buck.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
President Trump is bringing in five hundred more National Guard
troops because we will not be taken down by this,
We will not be threatened, we will not be intimidated
as a country.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
That is two Florida Attorney Generals Ago US Attorney General
Ham Bondy talking about the DC terror attack. We've talked
a lot about that through the first hour.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Of the show.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
The mess that Trump has been cleaning up on all fronts,
the historic piece that he has been bringing about, but
also historic safety that we are beginning to see work
into the process. It has been on every single front
that President trump is administration. It's been working to clean
up the Biden disaster, but also to make significant progress
(17:43):
with existing problems.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Even from his first administration.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
One thing President Trump did is he learned every single
lesson that could have been learned from having been president,
had a plan in place when he got back into
the presidency. Brian mudd in for Clay and Buck and
one of the most controversial aspects of his policy recently.
You even have some of the riot you have been
I don't know. We need due process for the people
(18:11):
on the boats that go boom. Okay, yeah, we need
due process for terrorsts that are in the middle of
committing the terrorst activity.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Got it. Thank god, you don't do anything important. Oh wait, you.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Actually elected to office. That's probably not good. But anyway,
there are a couple things about this. I did a
comprehensive analysis on this not too long ago, the Lives
Saved by Trump's anti Narco tear campaign. You can search
for the story or the podcast if you want the
full Monty on this. But the bottom line is taking
(18:44):
a look at what Trump has been able to do
with the boats that have been going boom, they're about
a thirty percent reduction in the drug running into this
country by the methods that have been in place, So
almost the third of all drug running disrupted. And I'm
not sure of people realized how much was coming through
the water. Often, you know, take a look at commonly Venezuela, Colombia,
(19:07):
have some of the Pacific that had been taking place
as well, but most in the Atlantic, a lot of
it coming into the state of Florida, and a lot
of people that were acting surprised about this, except that
on President Trump's first day in office, he signed an
executive order that spelled out what was going to happen here.
That order designating cartels in other organizations as foreign terrorist
(19:31):
organizations and specifically designated global terrorists. And in addition to
naming some terror groups right out of the gate, it
also tasked a lot of the federal agencies with figuring
out who the existing cartels were, the threats, those that
are acting in a terroristic capacity, and come up with
(19:52):
a plan for dealing with them. Hence what we eventually
saw with boats that go boom and the plan was announced.
All those pieces came together in early August. That's when
President Trump first announced that we would use military force.
And then a few weeks went by, and then we
got into September, and that's when things really started to
formalize under what is known as Operation Southern Spear. And
(20:15):
when you take a look as of the most recent activity,
twenty one strikes have hit twenty two vessels focused on
groups like Venezuela's trendy Ragua Columbia's eln guerrillas resulting in
eighty three designated terrors having been killed, and what has happened, Well,
you're not hearing about the impact in terms of life saved.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
If you take a look at September of this year
compared to September of last year, you have about seventeen
hundred fewer deaths.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
You had seventy two hundred deaths due to drug overdoses
last year, you got about fifty five hundred. Right now
this year September October last year seven thousand October this
year about fifty four one hundred. So you have over
three thousand lives save, about thirty three hundred, a twenty
three percent decline and overdose tests. Now, some of that
is due to closing the southern border certainly and dealing
(21:11):
with those issues, but a lot.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Of it's due to the boats that go boom.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I found out in my analysis about half of it
is attributed to the boats that go boom. So more
lives have been saved during the first two full months
of operations doing this than we're lost actually on nine
to eleven. People won't seem to look at it that way.
Probably deserves more attention. Somebody who is certainly aware of
the impact of these types of things is Florida's current
(21:38):
Attorney General, James Southmeyer, joining us now. Happy Thanksgiving to
you your family. Thank you so much for taking the
time with us. We appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Happy Thanksgiving us great to be here.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
So tell us a little bit about you know, from
your perspective as the top law enforcement officer in the
state of Florida, the impact of these drug runners's the
impact of the drugs that flow into the state of
Florida and also clear across the country.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Sure. Well, first of all, it really drives me nuts
when I hear people say that, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
These strikes are illegal.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
President Trump has duly and very publicly declared the armed
conflict with these cartels and narco terror groups. They've been
designated as terrorist groups very similar to Al Qaeda. The
courts have long recognized the Constitution grants considerable discretion to
the president as commander in chief to protect our country
(22:34):
and our citizens from imminent harms, and.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
So these groups they're on notice.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
They're on notice if you want to come and bring
this very dangerous illicit product into the country, which is
often associated with other you know, gun trafficking, human trafficking,
et cetera. We're going to take you out, and the
President has been very firm in that example. It has
saved thousands of lives, as you recognize, thank you, but
(23:02):
it's also served as a negative deterrent. You know, under
the Biden administration, Governor DeSantis and Florida declared a state
of emergency and we worked with aerial reconnaissance to interdict
craft coming into the southern tip of Florida and we
interdicted over twenty thousand vessels that were coming in, some
smuggling drugs, other smuggling people. Now we don't see anybody
(23:22):
coming in anymore. You still have some of these nitwits
dumb enough to try it, which is why we have
more boats going boom. But at the end of the day,
we don't see the dangerous trafficking coming into the state
that we did before, and many lives are being saved
as a result. So it's been great to work with
the FEDS. I hope they keep it up.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
That's incredible, the twenty thousand figures you threw out there.
I was not aware it was that big. And it's
just like the southern border, you know where we have
a greater than ninety nine percent decline in people they
even try to get to the southern borders. Imagine when
it's an amazing what happens when you actually enforce the
law and protect people.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
It just shows the incredible contrast. So what does this
look like.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
In terms of the opportunity that you have to then
go on offense, because there have been two things that
we have seen, and the southern border is a good example.
You had the president that had to stop the crisis,
so we're going to secure our border. We're going to
stop the abuse of the asylum process creating all these
magic award people that would get lost in the US permanently.
(24:24):
And then you had the deportation arm and we've seen
ever two point one million deportations take place so far,
and so that that offense has been huge in the
state of Florida for example, And what other attorneys general
may be able to do.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
What does this enable not having.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
To deal with the daily influx that you were dealing
with previously.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Well, so it's enabling us to maximize our resources focusing
on the inside of the state rather than the outside
of the state. Don't get me wrong. We still have
illicited trafficking that comes into Florida from other states, sanctuary
states like California that welcome illegals, bless their presence, give them,
you know, truckers licenses and other benefits, and then they
(25:08):
meander into the rest of the country and hurt communities everywhere.
But we have seen a significant decline in fentanyl and
other drug trafficking in the states. So it's allowed us
to go after child predators. We had a record We're
up to twelve hundred child predator arrests since I took
office back in February. Protecting our kids, protecting our families.
(25:29):
We've been able to conquer retail theft, you know, a
lot of you know, coordinated efforts to go after retailers
in the state, which is making Florida an even better
place to do business.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
And so we're able to be more deliberate.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Putting more people under cover, taking down these large drug networks,
leading to the lowest crime rates Florida has ever had
in its history, which is just outstanding. And you know,
we get it. We back law enforcement. We give them
the tools they need to be successful, and we've got
great coordinated synergies the federal government right now, working with ICE,
(26:02):
working with Homeland Security, working with the Coast Guard, another
military personnel to bring back American sovereignty and public safety
for once and for all.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Brian Mudd here for Clay and Buck, and we're joined
by Florida's Attorney General, James Uthmeier. You brought up all
of the combating of horrific crimes that you've been involved
with since taking over as the state's attorney general, and
a lot of what the Trump administration from on high
has been helpful in allowing the state to do. Talk
(26:36):
a little bit about the disproportionate impact of crime with
illegal aliens. This is something that I've illustrated for years,
most recently under the Biden administration. You take the full picture,
the average non citizen in the United States ended up
being nine times more likely to commit a crime than
the average born American due to all the bad actors
(27:01):
that came into this country during the Biden administration. What
are you finding as you are combating all these horrific crimes,
including the child sex predators.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Yeah, well, we do stings every single week with a
lot of undercover officers many different state law enforcement, local
law enforcement agencies working together trying to take down child
predators in particular, And when we do these stings, every
single time we end up arresting about twenty twenty five
(27:32):
percent illegal aliens, people that should never be here in
the first place, and walking around.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
The street on an average day.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
I do not believe that one out of five people
is an illegal alien. It shows how high, tremendously high,
disproportionately high, the number of you know, bad actors, criminal
actors in the state are that are here illegally. And
I think that shows the large flux of criminal activity
that was coming in the southern border, coming in through
(28:01):
things like the Afghanistan withdrawal. You know, there was this
effort to bring people in without vetting. I know you
already talked about that earlier today. And what do we see.
We see tragedies like what happened up at the nation's
capital with the death of a guardswoman. And this is
the danger that happens when you don't have borders and
you don't have adequate vetting. So props to President Trump.
(28:25):
I hope he can deliver on his commitment the other
night to you know, really shut down the border from
bad actors and get rid of people that are here
on sham parole arguments, on sham asylum arguments. It's been
abused for far too many years, and it's hurting American citizens.
At the end of the day, we've got to focus
(28:46):
on American citizens and their well being first and foremost.
And every time we do big criminal takedowns, we see
large scale numbers of people here illegally.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Well said, and just one more for you, you know,
as we see what a impact deterrence has been, you
have all these number, large numbers and bad actors. They're
still in the state of Florida, which is as aggressive
as any state in the country in combating illegal immigration.
I mean, we don't know what we don't know obviously,
(29:16):
but what would the expectation therefore be and what is
basically a sanctuary state.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Like a California, New York insert state here.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
Well, I think it shows how prevalent the people that
are undocumented here are. A lot of them were godaways.
They've never had any connection to the federal government whatsoever.
And that's an addition to the people that came across
the border were handed a piece of paper by the
Biden administration and told to appear for a hearing you know,
in a year or two, and we all know a
(29:48):
lot of people certainly weren't going to go, you know,
appeer for that hearing. So I believe the problem is
very significant. We have no idea how many millions of
people are truly here in the country illegally.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
On Florida.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
You know, we've we've enforced rule of law.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
We've come.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
The tune of three times more than than the next
you know, toughest state, Texas. And look, I believe we
did have a lot of people that, you know, disproportionately
high number of people I legally in Florida due to
the economic opportunities, the population, the language, the Spanish language
in the southern part of the state. So I know
we got more than our fair share. But I have
(30:28):
no doubt that sanctuary states out there have a lot
more than we think they do and are cracking down
here in Florida. Has just highlighted how widespread the problem is.
So we're going to stand by President Trump in the
federal government. We're going to protect Americans. We're going to
bring back sovereignty.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Yeah, so what you're hearing, by the way, if you're
not familiar with James, is that we don't just have
in Florida the best governor in the country. We have
had a historic run of great attorneys general, from the
US Attorney General right now now to now Senator Ashley
Moody and now James Othmeyer. Thank you so much. God
(31:05):
bless you, my friend. Keep finding the good fight and
Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
It's an honor to do it. Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
God bless Brian mud In for claim Buck.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
We will ensure that our law enforcement partners are out
there in full force to make sure the world can
enjoy our nation's capital. We will not let this heinous
act of violence prevent people from visiting our beautiful nation's CAPITALI.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Director Cash Battel, of course, talking about the dc TROR
attack on Wednesday that has resulted in one lost life,
the fourteenth now attributed to a US service member, going
back to the August twenty twenty one collapsed withdrawal of
Afghanistan by the Biden administration. We pray Wolf that he
(32:00):
will not become the fifteenth as he remains in critical condition.
Prim In for Clay and Buck and talking about this hour,
the success of the Trump administration in combating.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Terrorism, the progress he's made with peace.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I mentioned in the previous segment that we had already
seen a twenty three percent decline and overall drug overdose
tests September to September, October to October just apples to
Apple's comparisons, thirty three hundred fewer drug overdose tests. Why
Trump administration's policies, You don't have illegal aliens that are
(32:44):
drug running into this country.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
You're gonna have a lot fewer of them.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
So we already through two months, saved more lives than
actually were lost during nine to eleven. And people don't
want to treat this as though it's something on that level.
Consider this, over the course a full year, if we
didn't make any more progress against the narco terrorists with
boats that go boom, you're talking about twenty thousand fewer
(33:08):
lives lost per year. Over twenty thousand fewer lives lost.
Do we not care about that?
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Right?
Speaker 6 (33:14):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
The due process for the terrorists people, including you know
a few on the fringe. Right, do we want to
lose his twenty thousand lives per year? It is an
absurd argument. It's insane. Taking terrorism down in action is
a proven winner that saves tens of thousands of lives
per year. It's something that deserves a whole lot more
(33:35):
attention and talk about the solution for healthcare next
Welcome to today's edition of the Klay, Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. With peace talks underway.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We do know that Trump administration hopes to end the
Russia Ukraine War by the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
President Trump confirming.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
That his Special Envoice Steve Whitkoff, is headed to Moscow
next week where he'll meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
What is Foxes Trey yinkesd As President Trump continues to
clean up the disaster that Joe Biden left us. You know,
first hour Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck Verse hour,
we were talking about the horrific terror attack, the two
West Virginia Guardsmen that were attacked on Wednesday, one dead,
(00:46):
one critical condition, the impact that all of the Biden
immigration policy has had, the huge escalation in crime that
we saw with the Biden administration, the problems that we
are dealing with daily, but that we're also making progress,
that we do have over two million deportations that have
(01:09):
taken place. We got to run rate this about four
to one. Those that are taking a look at places
like Alligator Alcatraz and going you know what think, Oh,
just go ahead and leave on my own which by
the way, is a lot more efficient for you and
me as taxpayers. And so however they want to go,
it's great if they're gone. But the other big messes
(01:30):
the President's been cleaned up all throughout the year, all
the wars, right, all these wars that we have had
that have been endless because why Joe Biden was president
of the United States, his weakness, that collapse in Afghanistan,
it all kind of ties back around.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I mean, you had word was out on the street.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It wasn't like Joe Biden was an unknown commodity to
world leaders, dictators, tyrants when he became president. But the
moment that we had that after collapse, well that was
open season for all the bad actors around the world,
and of course Putin right there at the top of
the list. One things you always have to remember is
(02:11):
that anytime that we are talking about Russia, we're never
talking about just Russia.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Anytime we're talking about China.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
We're never just talking about China, because these countries the
kind of like.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
The new Axis.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Powers, if you will, China is Russia, Russia is Iran,
China is Russia is Iran is North Korea with a
little rocket man, it's also Cuba, it's also Venezuela, it's
also Nicaragua. All these bad actors, bad countries that have
(02:51):
been conspiring with one another, that had four years of proliferation.
President Trump has been working to undo the problems associated
with that weakness. Better news is that we're on the
brink of unprecedented peace now in this second hour. Thank
(03:11):
you so much for taking the time with us this
Thanksgiving weekend, and I really hope that we would have
a different start to the show than talking about the
horrific terror attack in DC and going through all those
things coming up. In the third hour, we're going to
end up diving into trump Care. I have been working
on the healthcare issue for literally decades, and I am
(03:31):
so thrilled that Senator Rick Scott is working on it
the way that he currently is, because the way the
legislation is being written for trump Care will solve will
solve our healthcare crisis if it becomes law. I'm going
to break all that down, explain why this is different
and the historic opportunity that exists. But we also have
(03:53):
some encouraging news here with this unprecedented peace opportunity. And
by the way, you can catch me socially at Brian
Mudd Radio, the Brian Mud Show podcast, wherever you get
your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Would appreciate it if you check it out.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Says, we're taking a look at the opportunity for unprecedented
piece that's come out of the Biden disaster. We've witnessed
stuff this year that really is unprecedented, really is unprecedented,
and what we continue to witness regularly is history because
already we've had a lot of things that probably didn't
(04:28):
think we would happen. For example, you go back last
month and what happened with the Israel Hamas peace steal.
First of all, I never thought we were getting those
twenty remaining living hostages back. I never thought they were
coming out alive. Only Trump can do something like that.
Never thought that we would end up seeing the prospect
(04:51):
of Middle East peace. But that is what's come about,
why because of Trump dropping the mops more than in
the moment, and one of the things you think about
as Trump has truly been bringing the world together, there
really has been unity that we have not seen. Just
take a look at all the countries, for example, with
(05:13):
the Israel Hamasteel that were on hand that's signing in Egypt.
You had Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Maladives, Mauritania, Morocco, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan.
(05:38):
The PLO is there, the Palestinian Authority, Tatar or Cutter
if you can prefer, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Somalia, Spain, Soudan, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey,
the United Arab Emirates, the UK, and of course US,
the United States. Who else in the world could have
brought so many varied countries together for around Israel, And
(06:02):
so that in and of itself is incredible. As President
Trump continues to make progress with the Abraham Accords as well,
and talked that hey, Saudi Arabia might be getting close
to signing on and so if that happens, truly truly
history and the making. But one of the things that
(06:24):
we saw just there was no doubt that Donald Trump
had credibility on the world stage.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It all started in his first term when he said
he was going to bomb the blank out of Isis.
When he became president and he became president, he bombed
the blank out of Isis and their calife and everything else. Gonzo, Well,
there was no doubt that he was going to restore
credibility and strength to the United States Again what he
(06:50):
did to undo very quickly the abomination that was the
Biden administration and the weakness of the US and the
world stage. It all happened when Trump dropped those mops
and ended Iran's nuclear program. You think about this, and
there's so much these inflection points, so much weakness portrayed
(07:14):
with the collapsed Afghan withdrawal by the Biden administration. So
much that was demonstrated with Trump's willingness to drop the
most deadly, most destructive bombs of a.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Non nuclear nature that exists.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
And so that really has brought about increase opportunities for peace,
many of which we have seen. When you take a
look at the precision of that attack on Iran taking
out the nuclear program doing what How longly have we
talked about the Iran nuclear program?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Are you and US presidents and leaders from around the
world for decades?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Was Iran can never have a nuclear weapon? And then
when we do, like you and nonsense, we're gonna have
We're gonna have inspectors in there, and that'll be great. Well,
just all of it was always absurd, and then Trump
it's like, screw this, I'm gonna drop the mops. And
by the way, remember over the summer and the immediate
aftermath of all that you had, all the the morons
(08:18):
on the left are like, the nuclear program isn't destroyed.
You notice how nobody says that anymore. You realize how
that just kind of went away after a little while.
Why because Aron's nuclear programs destroyed? And what did that do?
It opened up the opportunity for the rest of those
Arab countries that were in question and going, you know what,
maybe those Abraham Accords a pretty good idea. Yeah, we'll
(08:39):
go ahead, mister, mister Trump. We'll we'll go ahead, mister President,
and make sure that Hamas doesn't do anything else.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
We got this.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
All part of the credibility and not having those nuclear
threats hanging over the region. So every day that Joe
Biden was president of the United's world was less safe.
Every day that Donald Trump is president of the United States,
the world is a safer place, and certainly our country.
(09:11):
So when you take a look at the Israel Hamas
peace deal.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
President Trump had this to say at the time.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
He said, I think it really started when we took
out the nuclear capability of Iran. When you look at
what they had, you couldn't have made this deal with
someone sitting over there with a nuclear weapon over your head.
And so about this, just as Truman dropping the bombs
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki into World War two, dropping the
mops destroying Nran's nuclear capabilities, that became the key to
(09:37):
Middle East piece, but also critically important, it helped the
US regain the remaining credibility necessary to project something other
than being a paper tiger. And you've got to have
the strongest of strongest leadership positions to do away with
Putin and his ambitions and a deal with somebody like
(09:58):
she in China. And so here we are with serious
peace talks that are in place with Russia and Ukraine.
And look, I mean, until we get there, we're not there.
But you have now had Putin himself who has come
out and said, yeah, we're in serious discussions, and he's
seeing he's saying stuff that you know is still highly questionable,
(10:21):
which you would expect for any number of reasons, but
putting himself confirming, yeah, we're in serious piece talks. No
chance that is happening without all of these success and
all of the strength that has been projected by President Trump,
and so credibility and strength has always been key when
dealing with the world's worst actors. What President Trump has
(10:43):
done in a matter of months isn't just brokering the
eight different peace deals within sixteen different countries that have
taken place so far. President Trump, he prevented World War
three while simultaneously bringing peace to the Middle East, and
now it appears increasingly likely Ukraine, like we really can
get there. There appears to be a path forward, which,
(11:06):
by the way, here at home demonstrates that it is
in fact the Democrats who are divisive and petty. Now
President Trump. It's the great irony. You know, people will go, oh,
look at it used.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
To be ooh the mean Trump tweets.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
And now it's all these bad orangemen post on truth,
just so divisive.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Who's really divisive?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
President Trump, who's proven himself to be one of the
greatest unifiers in human history, literally bringing very difficult world
circumstances these leaders together in the name of peace making
things happen, or your TDS riddled Democrats that exist from
your city council to Washington, DC. You know, they say
he's the divider. They stand in opposition to him every
(11:50):
step of the way, and including recently during the longest
partial government shut down in history, which illustrates a couple points.
The first is that you have thirty four the federal
government that was shut down forever five weeks, and did
anything in your life actually change?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Now? The answer was for about twenty seven percent of people.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Yeah, like if you are a federal government employee directly
impacted right around that periphery or near the end of it,
if you were traveling got caught up in some of
the mess, the answer is yes. But actually the answer
is that seventy three percent of Americans approximately saw no impact.
Never would have even known there's a partial government shut
down if you didn't hear it in the news every day.
So we shut down over a third of the federal
government for over five weeks, and you had over seventy
(12:34):
percent of Americans who had no impact. So that illustrates
the point about how much government blow there is and
how much opportunity there is to do something about it.
But it also was crystal clear for the entire world
to see the true identity of the divisive hatefield and
dangerous party in this country, because how petty do these
elected miscreens continue to look as they endlessly conspire against
(12:58):
the world's top unifier. You take a look at Trump
and how we must be viewed by world leaders with
all of this piece that's taking place, him doing what
nobody else can do. And then Democrats and their tts nonsense,
and they always the left, always talking about the world
leaders in the world stage, the United States. We got
to yeah, who who looks like the pack of foals here?
(13:22):
Who are the real dividers? And so President Trump is
involved in historic unification, historic peace on a scale that
we've never seen. And it's without a doubt your Democrats,
your tds ors that are the divisive ones within this country. Now,
there's a lot of good that President Trump has been
(13:44):
up to, not just in combating the illegal immigration crisis,
but also the Narco tear campaign, taken down the Narco terrorists,
those boot runners. I'm going to give you the latest
on how much progress we're making there and the impact
it's already had in our communities. Something else you won't
hear any where else. Brian mud In for Claim Buck.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
People in the Biden administration said the Afghan withdrawal that
we all know was disastrous was a success. And that's
a quote. They called that a success. That chaos is
not a success. That is a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
US attorney for DC Janine Piro, talking about the collapse
in Afghanistan back in August in twenty twenty one where
we started the show, and how we.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Are still paying the price.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You had thirteen American servicemen and women that lost their
lives during that collapse in Afghanistan, along with all the
other horrible things that did not need to happen that
happened right down to China gaining all that access to
US military equipment, to minerals, everything else in Afghanistan just ridiculous.
But now we continue to see another life, laws a
(15:00):
fourteenth life lost from that August twenty twenty one collapse
by Joe Biden his administration, the weakness, and we just
pray that there isn't a fifteenth by the time this
is all said and done. And so every single day
that Joe Biden was President of the United States, this country,
the world was the less safe place every single day
(15:21):
that Donald Trump is president of the United States. This country,
this world is a safer place, period. And that comes
right down to the narco terror campaign. Trump's anti narco
terror campaign, and even some of the right have been
I don't know about this, were what about due process
for these terrorists that are drug running? I mean, the
(15:44):
first thing about these boats that go boom when Trump
has dropped these bombs. First thing about it, if you
have an active terrorist attack, do you do you try
to figure out what the path forward for due processes
or do you stop the active terror.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
It's like Bill Clinton.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I know Bill Clinton was on a golf course when
they said, hey, we have a shot here at Osama
bin Laan, Like now, got a little busy here on
the golf course, and so nine to eleven happened because
Clinton didn't want to take that shot. I think it's
better to take the shots and not worry about the
due process for the terrorists that are drug running. And
so I'm going to bring you some of the information
(16:23):
about how much progress has actually been made, how many
lives have already been saved because boats go boom and
we're blowing up Narco terrorists. We're also going to get
the perspective from Florida's Attorney General, James Southmeyer on this one,
as Florida's been on the top states, so it's boats
were heading bri mud in for Clay and Buck.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
President Trump is bringing in five hundred more National Guard
troops because we will not be taken down by this,
We will not be threatened, we will not be intimidated
as a country.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
That is two Florida Attorney Generals Ago US Attorney General
Ham Bondy talking about the DC terror attack. We've talked
a lot about that through the first hour.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Of the show.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
The mess that Trump has been cleaning up on all fronts,
the historic piece that he has been bringing about, but
also historic safety that we are beginning to see work
into the process. It has been on every single front
that President trump is administration. It's been working to clean
up the Biden disaster, but also to make significant progress
(17:43):
with existing problems.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Even from his first administration.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
One thing President Trump did is he learned every single
lesson that could have been learned from having been president,
had a plan in place when he got back into
the presidency. Brian mudd in for Clay and Buck and
one of the most controversial aspects of his policy recently.
You even have some of the riot you have been
I don't know. We need due process for the people
(18:11):
on the boats that go boom. Okay, yeah, we need
due process for terrorsts that are in the middle of
committing the terrorst activity.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Got it. Thank god, you don't do anything important. Oh wait, you.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Actually elected to office. That's probably not good. But anyway,
there are a couple things about this. I did a
comprehensive analysis on this not too long ago, the Lives
Saved by Trump's anti Narco tear campaign. You can search
for the story or the podcast if you want the
full Monty on this. But the bottom line is taking
(18:44):
a look at what Trump has been able to do
with the boats that have been going boom, they're about
a thirty percent reduction in the drug running into this
country by the methods that have been in place, So
almost the third of all drug running disrupted. And I'm
not sure of people realized how much was coming through
the water. Often, you know, take a look at commonly Venezuela, Colombia,
(19:07):
have some of the Pacific that had been taking place
as well, but most in the Atlantic, a lot of
it coming into the state of Florida, and a lot
of people that were acting surprised about this, except that
on President Trump's first day in office, he signed an
executive order that spelled out what was going to happen here.
That order designating cartels in other organizations as foreign terrorist
(19:31):
organizations and specifically designated global terrorists. And in addition to
naming some terror groups right out of the gate, it
also tasked a lot of the federal agencies with figuring
out who the existing cartels were, the threats, those that
are acting in a terroristic capacity, and come up with
(19:52):
a plan for dealing with them. Hence what we eventually
saw with boats that go boom and the plan was announced.
All those pieces came together in early August. That's when
President Trump first announced that we would use military force.
And then a few weeks went by, and then we
got into September, and that's when things really started to
formalize under what is known as Operation Southern Spear. And
(20:15):
when you take a look as of the most recent activity,
twenty one strikes have hit twenty two vessels focused on
groups like Venezuela's trendy Ragua Columbia's eln guerrillas resulting in
eighty three designated terrors having been killed, and what has happened, Well,
you're not hearing about the impact in terms of life saved.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
If you take a look at September of this year
compared to September of last year, you have about seventeen
hundred fewer deaths.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
You had seventy two hundred deaths due to drug overdoses
last year, you got about fifty five hundred. Right now
this year September October last year seven thousand October this
year about fifty four one hundred. So you have over
three thousand lives save, about thirty three hundred, a twenty
three percent decline and overdose tests. Now, some of that
is due to closing the southern border certainly and dealing
(21:11):
with those issues, but a lot.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Of it's due to the boats that go boom.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I found out in my analysis about half of it
is attributed to the boats that go boom. So more
lives have been saved during the first two full months
of operations doing this than we're lost actually on nine
to eleven. People won't seem to look at it that way.
Probably deserves more attention. Somebody who is certainly aware of
the impact of these types of things is Florida's current
(21:38):
Attorney General, James Southmeyer, joining us now. Happy Thanksgiving to
you your family. Thank you so much for taking the
time with us. We appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Happy Thanksgiving us great to be here.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
So tell us a little bit about you know, from
your perspective as the top law enforcement officer in the
state of Florida, the impact of these drug runners's the
impact of the drugs that flow into the state of
Florida and also clear across the country.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Sure. Well, first of all, it really drives me nuts
when I hear people say that, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
These strikes are illegal.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
President Trump has duly and very publicly declared the armed
conflict with these cartels and narco terror groups. They've been
designated as terrorist groups very similar to Al Qaeda. The
courts have long recognized the Constitution grants considerable discretion to
the president as commander in chief to protect our country
(22:34):
and our citizens from imminent harms, and.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
So these groups they're on notice.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
They're on notice if you want to come and bring
this very dangerous illicit product into the country, which is
often associated with other you know, gun trafficking, human trafficking,
et cetera. We're going to take you out, and the
President has been very firm in that example. It has
saved thousands of lives, as you recognize, thank you, but
(23:02):
it's also served as a negative deterrent. You know, under
the Biden administration, Governor DeSantis and Florida declared a state
of emergency and we worked with aerial reconnaissance to interdict
craft coming into the southern tip of Florida and we
interdicted over twenty thousand vessels that were coming in, some
smuggling drugs, other smuggling people. Now we don't see anybody
(23:22):
coming in anymore. You still have some of these nitwits
dumb enough to try it, which is why we have
more boats going boom. But at the end of the day,
we don't see the dangerous trafficking coming into the state
that we did before, and many lives are being saved
as a result. So it's been great to work with
the FEDS. I hope they keep it up.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
That's incredible, the twenty thousand figures you threw out there.
I was not aware it was that big. And it's
just like the southern border, you know where we have
a greater than ninety nine percent decline in people they
even try to get to the southern borders. Imagine when
it's an amazing what happens when you actually enforce the
law and protect people.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
It just shows the incredible contrast. So what does this
look like.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
In terms of the opportunity that you have to then
go on offense, because there have been two things that
we have seen, and the southern border is a good example.
You had the president that had to stop the crisis,
so we're going to secure our border. We're going to
stop the abuse of the asylum process creating all these
magic award people that would get lost in the US permanently.
(24:24):
And then you had the deportation arm and we've seen
ever two point one million deportations take place so far,
and so that that offense has been huge in the
state of Florida for example, And what other attorneys general
may be able to do.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
What does this enable not having.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
To deal with the daily influx that you were dealing
with previously.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Well, so it's enabling us to maximize our resources focusing
on the inside of the state rather than the outside
of the state. Don't get me wrong. We still have
illicited trafficking that comes into Florida from other states, sanctuary
states like California that welcome illegals, bless their presence, give them,
you know, truckers licenses and other benefits, and then they
(25:08):
meander into the rest of the country and hurt communities everywhere.
But we have seen a significant decline in fentanyl and
other drug trafficking in the states. So it's allowed us
to go after child predators. We had a record We're
up to twelve hundred child predator arrests since I took
office back in February. Protecting our kids, protecting our families.
(25:29):
We've been able to conquer retail theft, you know, a
lot of you know, coordinated efforts to go after retailers
in the state, which is making Florida an even better
place to do business.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
And so we're able to be more deliberate.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Putting more people under cover, taking down these large drug networks,
leading to the lowest crime rates Florida has ever had
in its history, which is just outstanding. And you know,
we get it. We back law enforcement. We give them
the tools they need to be successful, and we've got
great coordinated synergies the federal government right now, working with ICE,
(26:02):
working with Homeland Security, working with the Coast Guard, another
military personnel to bring back American sovereignty and public safety
for once and for all.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Brian Mudd here for Clay and Buck, and we're joined
by Florida's Attorney General, James Uthmeier. You brought up all
of the combating of horrific crimes that you've been involved
with since taking over as the state's attorney general, and
a lot of what the Trump administration from on high
has been helpful in allowing the state to do. Talk
(26:36):
a little bit about the disproportionate impact of crime with
illegal aliens. This is something that I've illustrated for years,
most recently under the Biden administration. You take the full picture,
the average non citizen in the United States ended up
being nine times more likely to commit a crime than
the average born American due to all the bad actors
(27:01):
that came into this country during the Biden administration. What
are you finding as you are combating all these horrific crimes,
including the child sex predators.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Yeah, well, we do stings every single week with a
lot of undercover officers many different state law enforcement, local
law enforcement agencies working together trying to take down child
predators in particular, And when we do these stings, every
single time we end up arresting about twenty twenty five
(27:32):
percent illegal aliens, people that should never be here in
the first place, and walking around.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
The street on an average day.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
I do not believe that one out of five people
is an illegal alien. It shows how high, tremendously high,
disproportionately high, the number of you know, bad actors, criminal
actors in the state are that are here illegally. And
I think that shows the large flux of criminal activity
that was coming in the southern border, coming in through
(28:01):
things like the Afghanistan withdrawal. You know, there was this
effort to bring people in without vetting. I know you
already talked about that earlier today. And what do we see.
We see tragedies like what happened up at the nation's
capital with the death of a guardswoman. And this is
the danger that happens when you don't have borders and
you don't have adequate vetting. So props to President Trump.
(28:25):
I hope he can deliver on his commitment the other
night to you know, really shut down the border from
bad actors and get rid of people that are here
on sham parole arguments, on sham asylum arguments. It's been
abused for far too many years, and it's hurting American citizens.
At the end of the day, we've got to focus
(28:46):
on American citizens and their well being first and foremost.
And every time we do big criminal takedowns, we see
large scale numbers of people here illegally.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Well said, and just one more for you, you know,
as we see what a impact deterrence has been, you
have all these number, large numbers and bad actors. They're
still in the state of Florida, which is as aggressive
as any state in the country in combating illegal immigration.
I mean, we don't know what we don't know obviously,
(29:16):
but what would the expectation therefore be and what is
basically a sanctuary state.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Like a California, New York insert state here.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
Well, I think it shows how prevalent the people that
are undocumented here are. A lot of them were godaways.
They've never had any connection to the federal government whatsoever.
And that's an addition to the people that came across
the border were handed a piece of paper by the
Biden administration and told to appear for a hearing you know,
in a year or two, and we all know a
(29:48):
lot of people certainly weren't going to go, you know,
appeer for that hearing. So I believe the problem is
very significant. We have no idea how many millions of
people are truly here in the country illegally.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
On Florida.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
You know, we've we've enforced rule of law.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
We've come.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
The tune of three times more than than the next
you know, toughest state, Texas. And look, I believe we
did have a lot of people that, you know, disproportionately
high number of people I legally in Florida due to
the economic opportunities, the population, the language, the Spanish language
in the southern part of the state. So I know
we got more than our fair share. But I have
(30:28):
no doubt that sanctuary states out there have a lot
more than we think they do and are cracking down
here in Florida. Has just highlighted how widespread the problem is.
So we're going to stand by President Trump in the
federal government. We're going to protect Americans. We're going to
bring back sovereignty.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Yeah, so what you're hearing, by the way, if you're
not familiar with James, is that we don't just have
in Florida the best governor in the country. We have
had a historic run of great attorneys general, from the
US Attorney General right now now to now Senator Ashley
Moody and now James Othmeyer. Thank you so much. God
(31:05):
bless you, my friend. Keep finding the good fight and
Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
It's an honor to do it. Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
God bless Brian mud In for claim Buck.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
We will ensure that our law enforcement partners are out
there in full force to make sure the world can
enjoy our nation's capital. We will not let this heinous
act of violence prevent people from visiting our beautiful nation's CAPITALI.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Director Cash Battel, of course, talking about the dc TROR
attack on Wednesday that has resulted in one lost life,
the fourteenth now attributed to a US service member, going
back to the August twenty twenty one collapsed withdrawal of
Afghanistan by the Biden administration. We pray Wolf that he
(32:00):
will not become the fifteenth as he remains in critical condition.
Prim In for Clay and Buck and talking about this hour,
the success of the Trump administration in combating.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Terrorism, the progress he's made with peace.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I mentioned in the previous segment that we had already
seen a twenty three percent decline and overall drug overdose
tests September to September, October to October just apples to
Apple's comparisons, thirty three hundred fewer drug overdose tests. Why
Trump administration's policies, You don't have illegal aliens that are
(32:44):
drug running into this country.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
You're gonna have a lot fewer of them.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
So we already through two months, saved more lives than
actually were lost during nine to eleven. And people don't
want to treat this as though it's something on that level.
Consider this, over the course a full year, if we
didn't make any more progress against the narco terrorists with
boats that go boom, you're talking about twenty thousand fewer
(33:08):
lives lost per year. Over twenty thousand fewer lives lost.
Do we not care about that?
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Right?
Speaker 6 (33:14):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
The due process for the terrorists people, including you know
a few on the fringe. Right, do we want to
lose his twenty thousand lives per year? It is an
absurd argument. It's insane. Taking terrorism down in action is
a proven winner that saves tens of thousands of lives
per year. It's something that deserves a whole lot more
(33:35):
attention and talk about the solution for healthcare next
