We call them Takedown now.

And every Thursday, a new episode drops.

And every time we do a sting,

Almost routinely, we find illegal immigrants who show up to exploit a 13, 14, 15-year-old child.

That's part of the personality profile.

you know you look back we've been doing predator stings now on and off for 22 years the very first sting will be 22 years in march of this year we set up in in long island beth page long island

And I remember at the time wondering if anybody was going to show up.

And two and a half days later, we had 17 men, including a New York City firefighter who surfaced in this investigation.

And the whole immigration issue was really not on our radar at that point.

We didn't even have law enforcement involved in that first day.

And I thought to myself, well, we should do it again.

And we did.

And we did it a third time with law enforcement.

And I figured, well, maybe we'll do four or five.

But after that, who's going to show up?

And here we are, 22 years later, and I'm out every month in a different place in the United States conducting these stings.

And we had a sting in Marion County, Florida over the summer.

Glenn, 41 guys showed up in six days.

Can you imagine?

Yeah.
