We continue our discussion on the reciprocal tariffs that President Trump announced on Wednesday, a policy move that has sparked debate on both economic and security fronts. While tariffs play a crucial role in shaping free trade agreements and protecting domestic industries, the president has also linked them to broader concerns, including national security and the fight against illicit drug trafficking.One of Trump's key objectives is to curb the influx of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that has contributed to the ongoing drug crisis in the United States. The administration has pointed to both the northern and southern borders as entry points for illegal drug smuggling, emphasizing that stricter trade measures could serve as leverage in addressing this critical issue. By imposing tariffs, Trump aims to pressure trade partners into stronger enforcement actions against the flow of illicit substances while simultaneously promoting fairer economic exchanges.As the debate continues, the intersection of trade policy and border security remains a complex and contentious issue. Advocates argue that reciprocal tariffs can level the playing field for American businesses, while critics warn of potential economic repercussions and strained diplomatic relations. The effectiveness of these tariffs in achieving both economic and security goals remains a key point of discussion.With Dan Bongino now joining the Trump administration, we have a unique opportunity to expand this program and potentially step into some of the radio slots he's leaving behind.

On today's episode, Vince sits down with Pierre Rausini. Pierre Rausini is an author and former Los Angeles kingpin. He was charged with operating a criminal enterprise under the Federal Drug Kingpin Statute and prosecuted for participating in wide-ranging drug conspiracies. Rausini's extensive history of drug trafficking in Southern California throughout the 1990s involved direct collaboration with high-level Sinaloa operatives who managed the cartel's American-based distribution network and its money laundering operation. This experience provided him with an intimate understanding of the cartel's logistics and operational strategies.   Rausini was released last year after serving twenty-six years in federal prison. His incarceration allowed him to live alongside and develop deep relationships with high-ranking members of both the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels, including several of their drug lords. This unique position enabled him to gain profound insights into the mindset, decision-making process, and cultural dynamics of these individuals. Rausini's first-hand knowledge of how cartel leaders think and operate offers a level of insight that is simply unattainable through traditional intelligence-gathering methods. Rausini has been invited to speak before law enforcement groups as a subject-matter expert and he appears on social media, commenting on matters relating to drug trafficking, money laundering, and cartel intrigue.  To learn more about Pierre's story, check out: Devil Exposed: A Twisted Tale of Drug Trafficking, Corruption & Murder in the City of Angels Borderland is an IRONCLAD Original Learn more about your ad choices.

Rodney Baldus, a retired truck driver from Minnesota, believes he is the recipient of a large inheritance belonging to his late wife. The inheritance is in Italy, but he is told he must first fly to Africa to sign papers before going on to Italy. Since his travel expenses are all paid for, Rodney is not suspicious of criminal activity. Unfortunately, Rodney is now sitting in a crowded jail cell in Mozambique with little hope of ever getting out, and his daughter, Nicole, fears for her diabetic father's life. Rodney is what is sometimes called a blind mule, a victim who was persuaded to transport money or contraband for a criminal gang, an unwitting participant in a serious crime. Journalist Mariana van Zeller, host of National Geographic Television's Trafficked, tells his story.

The extremely wealthy and powerful drug cartels in Mexico operate with near-impunity, perpetuating violent crime and terrorizing Mexican citizens. But they also bring pain and suffering to the United States by importing massive amounts of fentanyl, fueling the deadly opioid epidemic. Drug lords saw an opening after the U.S. government finally stepped in to stop the flow of prescription opioids created by the pharmaceutical industry. A ready-made market of addicted people just over the border provided incentive, and fentanyl was cheaper and easier to produce than other drugs. Anabel Hernandez, a Mexican journalist who's covered the cartels for more than two decades, joins former assistant U.S. attorney Sherri Hobson for today's talk from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival in June. Hobson went after traffickers on the border from the San Diego office for 30 years and prosecuted hundreds of smugglers. The two break down the timeline of the fentanyl crisis and share the insider information they spent years building up from either side of the border. Reuters editor in chief Alessandra Galloni moderates the conversation. aspenideas.org

Now that he's set to return to office, his pledges — including mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, a 25% tariff on Mexican goods and services, and a “war on drug cartels” — could indeed become reality.   What could these policies look like in practice, and how will they shape the future of the U.S.-Mexico relationship?

In this episode, Jeffrey Lichtman dives into the aftermath of the 2024 election — Kamala Harris's resounding defeat and the unexpected national shift that defied nearly every major poll. Jeff openly admits he underestimated the American electorate, having repeatedly predicted that Trump could never win. But last week, Trump did just that, sweeping the popular vote, dominating in swing states, and leaving pundits scrambling to explain why they got it so wrong. Jeff reflects on the issues that broke in Trump's favor: from crime and immigration to economic and foreign policies that Americans across demographics were ready to change.Jeff also dissects the hypocrisy of the left's elite, who preached social justice and open borders while ignoring Americans' real needs. He explores the hard truths that Harris  and the Democrats refused to face, from soaring crime rates to economic strain and unchecked immigration. America had enough, and Jeff sees this election as a signal that the tide has turned. With the House and Senate now in his favor, Trump has a narrow window to make real changes, but as Jeff warns, he can't waste time this time around.

With Election Day looming, Jeff dives into the political desperation driving the Democrats' strategy—and why, for the first time, he's decided to vote for Trump. As smear campaigns and absurd accusations pile up, Jeff examines the stark reality of what's at stake and contrasts the Democrats' fearmongering with the mess they've actually created: open borders, sky-high consumer prices, and the normalization of anti-Semitic hate crimes. If the stakes weren't so high, he might sit this one out, but at this point, voting has become a defense mechanism for what remains of the country's sanity.Shifting gears, Jeff discusses how ineffective assistance of counsel claims made by imprisoned clients shouldn't ruffle a defense lawyer's feathers — the clients are in jail after all.  Using his own experience with high-profile clients, including El Chapo, he sheds light on the personal, ethical, and sometimes laughable aspects of these claims—and the mess the press often makes when covering them.Finally, Jeff pays a long-overdue tribute to the band Social Distortion, a band that's resonated with him for decades. More than just rockabilly punk, the band's music speaks to struggle, redemption, and raw honesty. From “When the Angels Sing” to “I Was Wrong,” Jeff shares why these tracks mean so much to him, urging listeners to give the band a chance beyond his podcast snippets.

Federal Investigation into Diddy Focuses on Miami Hotel Amid Alleged Sex and Drug Trafficking Claims

Dark Side of Wikipedia | True Crime & Dark History

The federal investigation into music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs over alleged sex and narcotics trafficking is now targeting a luxury hotel in Miami. Recently filed legal documents obtained by TMZ reveal that federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have issued a subpoena, demanding detailed records from the hotel related to Combs and his ex-girlfriend, Daphne Joy. The subpoena seeks a wide array of information dating back to January 2008, including reservation records such as check-in and check-out dates, room numbers, guest preferences, billing details, and room service charges. Prosecutors are also looking for emails, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and payment methods used, whether cash or credit cards. Additionally, the investigators requested computer IP addresses, login details, copies of IDs, vehicle information, and surveillance footage from the hotel. These extensive data requests suggest that the authorities are trying to establish a detailed account of Combs' activities and interactions at the Miami location over the past several years. Since November 2023, Combs has been implicated in eight lawsuits accusing him of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and physical abuse. The first lawsuit was filed by his former girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, professionally known as singer Cassie. This lawsuit was settled the following day, although the settlement details remain confidential. A few weeks later, another lawsuit was filed by model Daphne Joy, who claimed that in 1991, Combs “intentionally drugged” her during a date in Harlem before taking her home and sexually assaulting her. At the time of the alleged incident, Joy was a 19-year-old college student. Back in March, the allegations against Combs led Homeland Security agents to raid his homes in Miami and Los Angeles. These raids were reportedly conducted as part of the ongoing investigation into the trafficking claims. Despite the mounting allegations, Combs has consistently denied any wrongdoing. His attorneys have described the lawsuits and their claims as “baseless” and “sickening,” asserting that they are nothing more than attempts to extort money from the wealthy music executive. While Combs has not been formally charged with any crimes, sources told CNN in May that a federal grand jury in New York City might soon hear testimony from his accusers. This development could indicate that the Justice Department is considering seeking an indictment against Combs, a move that would significantly escalate the legal proceedings against him. The federal investigation's focus on the Miami hotel suggests that prosecutors are meticulously piecing together evidence to support their case. The requested information, particularly the surveillance footage and computer data, could provide crucial insights into Combs' activities and whether they align with the allegations made against him. As the investigation progresses, all eyes are on how the evidence gathered from the Miami hotel and other sources might impact the potential indictment against Combs. The case has garnered widespread attention, with many speculating on the possible outcomes for the hip-hop mogul whose career has spanned decades and includes significant influence in the music and fashion industries. For now, Sean “Diddy” Combs remains under the intense scrutiny of federal authorities, with his legal team poised to continue fighting the allegations.
