52:36Now PlayingICE plans to acquire electric shock gloves, and former FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi warns they could escalate violent encounters instead of making them safer. He explains what the proposed ICE shock-glove purchase means, how the devices could be used and why training, oversight and transparency matter.
In this episode of The Frank Figliuzzi Show, Frank examines the Trump administration’s reported plan to spend millions of dollars on electric shock gloves for ICE and other Department of Homeland Security personnel. Drawing on his federal law-enforcement experience, he argues that “less lethal” equipment is only as safe as the agents, training and use-of-force policies behind it.
Frank also analyzes the national-security consequences of the Iran conflict, including supply problems aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, damage to regional U.S. infrastructure, depleted oil reserves and Donald Trump’s claims about controlling the Strait of Hormuz. He examines Trump’s treatment of South Korea, renewed praise for Kim Jong Un and the risks to America’s alliances.
The episode also covers losses by Trump-endorsed candidates in Florida, the defeat of Moms for Liberty-backed control of Sarasota’s school board, Republican anxiety over data centers, efforts to involve local police in immigration enforcement, civil lawsuits challenging the administration, a Justice Department program that could restore gun rights to violent felons and January 6 offenders, and the temporary pause on border-wall construction in Big Bend National Park.
