  Speaker 1: Marximo the issues you really care about on seven ten.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Wr Well, Greg jareded the best legal analyst in America.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: You can watch them on Fox News and of course
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: read all of his columns foxnews dot com and get
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: his excellent books. You'll love his books The Constitution and
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Other Patriotic Documents and Trial of the Century about the
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: most amazing trial ever. And of course his books about
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the witch hunt and the Russia hoax and all of that.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: And he's with us now, Greg Jarrett, how you.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Doing, Hey, Mark, good to be with you. I'm fine. Thanks.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, Let's start with Letitia James. If all these documents
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: are real, I assume they are. This is an open
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and shut case, isn't it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Well you would think so. But of course, you know
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in Virginia where she's been indicted, you know, I mean,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I that's mostly a liberal eastern district. The jury pool
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: is going to be inherently biased. So, but you're right
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: about the facts of the case. When you tell a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: bank that your home is primary or secondary and you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: get a lower mortgage because of it, but then you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: rent it, you actually rent it out, that's fraud. I mean,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you're lying to the lender who is deceived about the risk,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and the documents would appear to incriminate James. And you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: she can hardly claim og it was a miscommunication or
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: sloppy paperwork when I said it was primary or secondary,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: because she's on record is the Attorney General New York
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: stating that that's never an excuse under the law. You know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: even worse, last year, she issued a public statement declaring
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that you know, everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to get a mortgage. Powerful people cannot heat to get
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: better loans. So her own words will come back to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: honoring Cord And think about what she did. I mean,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: she brazenly promised to abuse her office to get Trump,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and then she went about doing it. And now she
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: has the audacity to complain that Trump is weaponizing the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: law against her. This is a person with no sense
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of self awareness.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, if you are running for as an attornational
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: if you're running and you say I'm gonna pick a guy,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna target this guy, I'm gonna get him somehow.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Is there anything illegal about that?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Well, in a normal state in New York is not.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a desparable offense. It's an egregious breach
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of ethics to run on the promise of a preordained
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: outcome in a case of against a singular individual, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you haven't even been elected to the office. You don't
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: have access to the evidence or the files. I mean,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what a prosecutor is not supposed to do.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: But you know, the bar in New York, which is
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: supposed to enforce ethics standards, is highly politicized and liberal,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and I you know, they've been cheering on Letitia James
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: in our efforts to go after Trump.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're very anti Trump too, as you saw what
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: they took Rudy Giuliani's law license, basically just forgeting the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Trump supporter. But right, okay, John Bolton, John Bolton, that
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: looks like an open and shutcase.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, as indictments go, this one
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: is rich in details justifying the eighteen charges against him.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It's a powerful case of criminality using email and messaging
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: apps to send documents classified as high as top secret
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to his family members who don't have security clearance. Now
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you know, he apparently did it as a diary to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: help him write a book. The sheer volume of material
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: more than a thousand pages that were seized is as
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: stunning as the alleged content. There were material there about
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: missile launches, future attacks, covert operations, sources and methods, strategic communications,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: even weapons of mass destruction. So yeah, I mean it's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: really hard to argue that somehow all of that is
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: not highly protected and privileged material, particularly since his systems
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: were actually hacked by Iran. That's in the indictment. That
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: only supports the case against him because it's precisely what
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the espionageac was designed to prevent. So it looks brazen,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: at the very least, grossly reckless. But under the law,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: recklessness is not an excuse because it's criminal, whether it's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: wilful or negligent.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: This excuse I needed to write a book. Did you
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: just write for the most detailed books in the world
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: without any classified documents. It can be done.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it can be done. But you know this
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: has been a pattern by Bolton. He has always tried
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to leverage any position in government he's had for financial
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: profit by writing books. And you know, in this video case, yeah,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: he's presumed innocent, of course, he's pled, not guilty, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you know, it looks like he tried to boost the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: content by telling secrets, including you know, top secret classified information.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: The judge warned him about it. The DJ tried to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: stop the book, and the judge had to let it
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: go because the publisher went ahead and released it while
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: they were litigating it. And the judge Warnbolton, you're gambling
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: with national security and you are exposing yourself to criminal charges.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: And in fact that's what happened.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I tell you, Greg Jarrety, great legal And let's
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: say this whole NBA gambling scandal and looks like there
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: might be an NFL former player, and what do you
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: think this is a lot of people are going to
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: go to jail for this, aren't they?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I read the indictment. It is stumming
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in how blatant the gambling schemes were. So you're talking
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: about extortion, fraud, money laundering, a host of other crimes.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: You know, art there had long been whispers about corruption
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in basketball, tanking games, rests on the take, but the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: scope and breath of the illegal gambling here is truly shocking.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: More than thirty arrests across an eleven states involving four
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: major mafia crime families, famous athletes, millions of victims. So
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I would commend the FBI for digging into this taking
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: aggressive action to stop it. You Charles Barkley, I think
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: was right. He got into an argument on television, you know,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: with another former player, and he said, this is not
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: about addiction. It's about stupidity and greed and avarice and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: conceit and an utter disdain for the law. And Charles's right.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I suspect there are a lot of other sports figures
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: out there who are quite nervous about an imminent knock
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: on the door, and I think there will be a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: lot of knocks.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, these players are multi multi multimillionaires, so obviously they
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: weren't in it for the money. What do you think
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: were they being blackmailed or were they some other behavior
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: there's that the mob knew about.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: You know, it's it's hard to say. I mean, these
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: guys have so much money and they're treated as such
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: superstars and privileged and elite that for them, you know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: it's like monopoly money. They're playing a game, you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: can I get away with it? And I mean it's
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: completely stupid. Why would you jeopardize you know, millions of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: dollars that you have already for you know, what's the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: equivalent of nichols and dimes and ruin your reputation, your integrity,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: your good name. I mean, it's foolhearty and so Charles
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: is right, it's stupidity.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Well, Greg Jarrett, great stuff. You can follow him on Twitter,
