… Attorney General? Marco Rubio is like, "Just work with the CIA," and not very subtle. Ah, what is it? Well, look, it's, uh, it's above my pay grade, but all of our law enforcement arms are ready to assist. Obviously, our prosecutors, uh Raul Castro, you know, under our current warrant, he can't just travel freely around the world, even for medical help. If he goes into a country that starts your day with a good morning of Drexie Toll, when the ball is snapped, it's in his hands, in his hands only.

The Benny Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. An AP report says the Florida arrest warrant will restrict Castro's ability to leave Cuba and prevent him from traveling to any place with a U.S. extradition agreement.[1][3][4]
Supports. The Miami Herald and a Miami judge-signed warrant report confirm a Florida state arrest warrant was signed for Castro on a conspiracy to commit first-degree murder charge, separate from a May federal indictment.[5][6]
Context. Sources note the warrant does not automatically require another country to detain or extradite him, and it is unclear whether he will ever appear in a U.S. courtroom, so the restriction is practical rather than absolute.[6][7]
Context. A 2019 Reuters report on a separate U.S. travel ban concerns entry into the U.S. and is not the warrant at issue here.[2]
