Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lots going on this morning, that's for sure. Royal and
Ill joins is now to talk about a couple of
big stories happening as the President is on his way
to Royal Neil Country, not quite in Orlando, but further
south down to Alligator Alcatraz today, roy welcome in, thanks
for being here.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Hey JT, good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
So a lot of talk about Alligator Alcatraz here the Dems,
you know, losing their mind. This is inhumane, blah blah blah.
No you know about this place. It's a huge facility
that's been kind of sitting there, finally going to be
put to some good use.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Well it's been an airstrip. So what they're building. They're
putting up tents now to house more than a thousand
migrants who are getting ready to be deported for being
in the US illegally.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
President Trump visiting.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Today as they're about to welcome I guess that's the
word their first migrants who are being brought there. Over
the weekend, we saw protests about the environmental impact of this.
They protested about the human rights part of this. This
is a pretty remote area and that's what also makes
it ideal. According to the attorney general who was really
(01:04):
the brain child. He said, well, let's stick them in
the middle of the eperglades. You can't escape because you've
got alligators and pythons.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Surrounding you everywhere. So that'll keep you on the base
one hundred percent. The place is massive.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
They were going to build the world's largest airport at
some point. That got scrapped. But there's an over a
thousand foot runway down there that you know, eleven thousand,
that's right, another zero, and so it's not like they're
going to be in a sweatshop down there. They've got
air conditioners they're bringing in like they do in places
(01:37):
that they don't have electrical wie, that's a little gray. Ah,
there are air conditioners for the staff.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Also, they're not going to be putting these people in
sweat boxes.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know the way the left wants to paint this
thing is like, this is going to be extremely inhumane. No,
these people are criminals that you know are These aren't
just folks that just wanted across the border because they
brought kids with them.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
We want a better life.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
These people are on their way out. These are deportable
folks that are criminals. They are going to be sent
here for a temporary time being. So I like the
fact that it's the useful space. It's out in the
middle of nowhere, it sits you know, it's above the everglades.
It's you know, high and dry, so it is surrounded
by the everglades there. But you know what, good you
(02:25):
don't have to spend as much money on barber the
allegatorial test.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Well, it does raise some questions because this is being
run by the Florida Emergency Management Agency, not the Department
of Corrections. They are hiring some companies in order to
run this. But now, if you have tents full of
gang members, you could be really looking at some security
issues among the people who are there being deported, which
(02:49):
could be another concern as well.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So there's a lot There are a lot of questions.
I just have a lot of questions that we haven't
heard a whole lot of.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
We talk a lot about the allegators of pythons. I
don't mean you and me, I mean the state.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Uh. We talk about a lot about those surroundings.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
But the practical logistics, well, wait, are there going to
be women here? Are there going to be children here?
Are there going to be families. Is it going to
be just criminals who have Who are the drug dealers, rapists,
murderers we all want out of the country. Or is
it someone who was just overstaying their visa and got
picked up outside the home depot? Like, what's the mix?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Who are they? Yeah? See, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, I mean yesterday, Department Homeland Security Secretary Christinome says, look,
this is a good facility to how's exactly what we
got here? And she called them some of the worst
scumbags who entered the USA legally. But those are not
five year old kids she's talking about.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well, we don't. Yeah, but we just haven't. We don't
know exactly who. I know. I'm with you. I'm with you.
I just want the questions, you know what I'm saying.
I just have the questions. I'm not I just want
classic I got you. I'm being pro or con I
just want to know how this is going to work.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
No, I understand that, And I think we'll see some
more of that as time goes on here as the
President will be there, so that means a lot of
press will be there today as well. So yep, we'll
get some more answers from the press obviously on this one.
Another crazy story going on this morning. The Diddy trial continues. Now,
what's going on with this potential little snag in the
jury room?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
What's happening?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well, yeah, so the jury deliberated for about five hours yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Two different questions came up.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
One they asked about what does it mean to distribute
a controlled substance? Is it just giving it to somebody,
forcing it that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
The other one was one of the jurors.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
They sent a note saying that they were concerned one
of the jurors could not follow the judge's instructions.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
What the heck does that make true?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, we don't know. So they're going to reconvene in
about two hours. Hopefully we'll get some more clarification there
to see what they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Maybe one of the.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Jurors has to be dismissed. There are alternates in the mix,
but let's see what the two sides have to say.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, that little note that came by, the judge saw
it and read it, and he's, after lengthy discussion, I
want to send back to the jury. The judge adopted
some language for the note proposed by the prosecution. The
notes said, I received your note. I remind every jury
on there duty to deliberate in their obligation to follow
my instructions on the law, and with that instruction of mine,
please continue deliberating. The note also explained not to include
(05:09):
specific details about deliberations in any future notes. So you know,
when you get in that jury room there are certain rules.
And have you ever served on a jury and gone
through this process? No, yeah, I did in a civil case.
It wasn't a big murder case or a big drug
case like this, but we had questions in the jury room,
and so we asked the judge to come in and
(05:31):
we're asking him questions. He said, listen, I cannot answer
your questions if I know them or don't know them,
because I can only instruct you to base your decision
on what was presented in the courtroom. I made know
the answers to what you're asking me, but it didn't
come up from prosecution or the defense, so I'm not
(05:52):
allowed to throw that in there. We can't continue the
trial in here. You're here to make a decision based
on what you heard. So you know that gets rustrating sometimes, But.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah, and what they don't want is people durors going
home and googling stuff right right, you know, to try
to figure out the answer the questions they have.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
That's the worst thing you can do.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Well you can imagine that's probably going on in every trial, right,
Who's going to I mean, what are they going to do?
Let's say the question is so Hi, Roy, thank you
for the update, Buddy,
