MIGRANTS WERE ENCOUNTERED AT THE
BORDER.
JOINING ME NOW, FLORIDA ATTORNEY
GENERAL, ASHLEY MOODY.
ATTORNEY GENERAL MOODY, FLORIDA
HAS RECENTLY ANNOUNCED A STRIKE
FORCE TO CRACK DOWN ON
IMMIGRATION RELATED CRIMES.
THERE’S ALSO A BILL THAT WAS
INTRODUCED TO THE FLORIDA SENATE
TO COMBAT BIDEN’S SEE
CONSIDERATE MIGRANT FLIGHTS.
TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT.
>> YEAH, DAGEN.
AS YOU SAID, EVERY MONTH WE’RE
SEEING A NEW RECORD HIGH OF
ENCOUNTERS WITH UNVETTED ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS FLOODING INTO OUR
NATION AND FLORIDA HAS SEEN MOST
OF THOSE COMING OVER, IN FACT,
WHEN I VISITED THE BORDER WITH
GOVERNOR DE SANTIS, AND BY THE
WAY I’VE BEEN THERE TWICE, I
DON’T THINK PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS
BEEN THERE ONE TIME.
SEVEN OUT OF TEN TOLD OUR
OFFICERS THEY THEY WERE HEADED T
FLORIDA.
WE’VE WITHIN BEEN VERY PROACTIVE
THANKFULLY WE HAVE A GOVERNOR,
GOVERNOR DE SANTIS SAID WE’RE
NOT GOING TO SIT BACK.
WE’RE THE RECIPIENT OF MANY
UNVETTED MIGRANTS.
WE’VE SEEN A MURDER BY ONE OF
OUR CITIZENS BY SOMEONE THAT THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FLEW HERE
WITHOUT LETTING US KNOW.
GOVERNOR DE SANTIS SAID WE’LL
SET UP A STRIKE FORCE, LOCAL AND
STATE AGENCIES ARE GOING TO
SPECIFICALLY LOOK FOR THOSE
SMUGGLING UNVETTED ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS INTO OUR STATE AND
DRUGS.
WE’VE BEEN ARRESTING PEOPLE.
WE FOUND DRUGS, ENOUGH TO KILL
THOUSANDS OF FLORIDIANS.
YOU KNOW, IT’S INSANE.
THINK OF THE MADNESS, DAGEN.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE CRIMINAL,
VIOLENT CARTELS FACILITATING THE
SMUGGLING AND THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION CARRIES OUT THE
LAST LEG.
THEY’RE LIKE THANKS, WE GOT IT
FROM HERE.
WE’LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.
WE’LL MAKE SURE THEY GET ALL
OVER THE COUNTRY.
IT’S INCREDIBLE WHAT WE’RE
FACING AS WE’RE SEEING RECORD
NUMBERS.
NO WONDER WE’RE SEEING RECORD
NUMBERS.
AND LASTLY, LET ME JUST TELL
YOU, GOVERNOR DE SANTIS DIDN’T
ONLY ASSEMBLE A STRIKE FORCE
WITH COORDINATED RESPONSE AMONG
OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT.
WE’RE NOT ONLY ARRESTING PEOPLE
HERE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
WE’VE ALSO IMPANELED A GRAND
JURY TO START GETTING THE
INFORMATION AS TO WHO IS WORKING
WITH THESE CRIMINAL NETWORKS,
THESE TRANS NATIONAL CRIMINALS
THAT ARE SMUGGLING DRUGS AND
HUMANS INTO OUR NATION AND
THAT’S A VERY BOLD STEP.
I WOULD SUBMIT TO YOU WE’RE
GOING TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING
INCLUDING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AND WHAT PART THEY’RE PLAYING.
DAGEN: I WANT TO BRING UP
THE ISSUE, THIS BROKE IN RECENT
DAYS, BILLIONAIRE KEN GRIFFIN IS
MOVING HIS MASSIVE HEDGE FUND
FIRM FROM CHICAGO TO MIAMI.
GRIFFIN WAS MAKING THIS DECISION
BECAUSE OF FLORIDA’S BUSINESS
FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT, TAX
INCENTIVES AND CONCERNS OVER
RISING CRIME IN CHICAGO.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON GRIFFIN’S MOVE
AN HOW ACTIVE IS FLORIDA AND THE
GOVERNOR AND EVERYBODY IN
LEADERSHIP AT COURTING THESE
BUSINESSES IN DEEP BLUE BUT
DANGEROUS CITIES AND STATES?
>> WELL, LOOK, FLORIDA HAS
ALWAYS HAD GREAT BEACHES.
WE’RE A KNOW INCOME TAX -- NO
INCOME TAX STATE.
THERE’S MANY REASONS TO CONSIDER
FLORIDA FOR YOUR HOME AND TO
RELOCATE YOUR BUSINESS.
BUT WE’VE SEEN IN RECENT YEARS,
AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMEONE
THAT’S BEEN A JUDGE AND A
FEDERAL PROSECUTOR FOR DECADES,
I HAVE BEEN SHOCKED AT WHAT IS
GOING ON IN SOME OF OUR ONCE
GREAT CITIES AND STATES.
YOU SEE THESE PEOPLE, I’M GOING
TO CALL THEM FAKE PROSECUTORS,
THEY’RE GETTING ELECTED.
THEIR NUMBER ONE AGENDA IS NOT
PROTECTING THEIR COMMUNITIES AND
THEIR JURISDICTIONS, IT IS TO
IMPOSE A RADICAL PROGRESSIVE
AGENDA WHICH WEAKENS AND REALLY
DEMOLISHES THE VERY COMMUNITIES
THEY ARE PROFESSING TO PROTECT.
AND MR. GRIFFIN HAS SAID, HE’S
HAD A WORKER STABBED ON THE WAY
TO WORK, HE’S HAD WORKERS THAT
WERE MUGGED.
HE SAID YOU CAN’T EXPECT PEOPLE
TO LIVE IN CITIES WHERE YOU
CANNOT KEEP THEM SAFE.
AND FLORIDA IS A LAW AND ORDER
STATE.
WE’LL CONTINUE TO POINT THAT
OUT.
WHERE THESE OTHER CITIES HAVE
FAKE PROSECUTORS AND THEY HAVE
-- THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE AN
INTENTION TO CHANGE WHAT THEY’RE
DOING.
THEY’RE TELLING YOU WE ARE GOING
TO STOP PROSECUTING CERTAIN
CRIMES.
WE’RE GOING TO LET CERTAIN
PEOPLE OUT, EVEN VIOLENT REPEAT
OFFENDERS OUT OF JAIL.
HOW CAN SOMEONE MOVE THERE AND
LIVE THERE AND RUN A BUSINESS
THERE AND THING IT’S GOING TO BE
STABLE AND SAFE?
WELCOME TO FLORIDA.
COME ON DOWN.
DAGEN: REAL QUICK, BEFORE WE
GO, ATTORNEY GENERAL, FLORIDA,
THE GOVERNOR DE SANTIS JUST
SIGNED AN ORGANIZED RETAIL THEFT
BILL INTO LAW.
IT WILL TAKE EFFECT IN OCTOBER.
JUST TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT
QUICKLY.
>> THAT’S ONE GREAT EXAMPLE
THAT DISTINGUISHES OUR STATE
FROM SOME OF THESE OTHER STATES
THAT HAVE THESE FAKE
PROSECUTORS, RIGHT.
SO WE CAME OUT, WE SAW SOME OF
THIS GOING ON, THIS RECORD
NUMBER OF RETAIL THEFT THAT’S
ALSO ASSOCIATED MANY TIMES WITH
VIOLENT CRIME, WE SAID WE’RE
GOING TO BE PROACTIVE.
FLORIDA IS NOT GOING TO FOLLOW
IN THE SAME VEIN AND WE PASSED A
BILL THAT ALLOWS OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO COLLECT THE
INFORMATION TO GO AFTER THE
ORGANIZED CRIME RINGS AND GIVE
OUR PROSECUTORS THE TOOLS THEY
NEED TO PROSECUTE IT
SUCCESSFULLY IN COURT.
DAGEN: ATTORNEY GENERAL ASHLEY
MOODY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE.
ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE YOU.
