  Speaker 2: to be the best summer of the entire weekend.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Ken Rosato went.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Former New York City news anchor Channel seven for twenty years.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: It was Channel five anchoring Good Day New York before that.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: But it's nice to be with you today. And if
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: you have had your head in the sand and haven't
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: been paying attention, Mayor Zoron Mumdani has been threatening to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ettinnah who for several years now,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: even from his days as a New York State Assemblyman.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: He cited the International Criminal Court which issued a twenty
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: twenty four arrest warrant for netanyahuo over the war in Gaza.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Remember Hamas invaded Israel October seventh of twenty three. Slow
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: ordering over twelve hundred innocent people, many in their sleep.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: So all Prime Minister Netanyaho did was respond to that. Now,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the US does not and has never submitted to the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: decisions of the ICC, but without any authority to do so,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I'm Donnie has threatened to arrest Netanyahoo when he comes
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to the US for the UN General Assembly in September.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: With US right now, Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: here to talk about it. Truly one of my favorite
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: people on Fox News, Greg. I now will bother on
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and on about how much I love watching it, but
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it's good to have you answered.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Ken, I appreciate it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Well, So you see a guy like this, I call
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: him the boy mayor. You see a guy like this
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: who stupidly comes out and publicly proclaims that he will
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: have net Yahoo arrested, which number one, he as a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: mayor can't do. It's up to the police commission in
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the police department, and they're not going to be so stupid,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: knowing what the law is to do that. Why would
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: even come forward and say that.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Well, as one of the great American philosopher for as
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Forrest Gump said, you know, stupid is as stupid does.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And you're right that you know, this is a boy
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: mayor who never held a real job, never built anything,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: never accomplished anything. He's he's young and doesn't know much.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But you know, I think even a high school civic student,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you know, would red flag this idea of arresting that Yahoo,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: recognizing there's got to be something wrong with it, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: there's several things wrong with it. First of all, a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: municipal mayor does not have the authority to arrest anyone.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Second of all, as you point out, the ICC is
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a joke. America never signed on to it. In fact,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: we rejected it and in passed a law that you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: makes it illegal for anybody to follow its dictates. And
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the third, if Mondomi were dumb enough, then he might
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: be to try to detain or arrest Yahoo.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Mondomi would find himself.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Arrested by the FBI and prosecuted by the DOJ for kidnapping,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: because there's a specific federal law that says that internationally
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: protected people who were guessed in the United States cannot
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: be taken into custody. If they are, it's kidnapping. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: if you conspire with others to do so, as it
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: appears mondomi was trying to do and you take an
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: avert act, that's conspiracy to commit kidnapping. I am sure
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that after Mondomie hauled off and issued the threat of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: arresting Yahoo, that the lawyers that work for his administration
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: yanked him into a nearby office and said, you can't
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: do this for the reasons I just explained, and then
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: sheepishly Mondana had to back off of his ridiculous idea.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And now he's got a new idea. He is encouraging
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: people to take to the streets, which risks the safety
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of the NYPD to protest net Yahoo. So you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: this is what you get when you elect.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: A boy mayor don't known anything?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I think. I find it ironic that this is the
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: same guy who refuses to enforce federal law when it
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: comes to things like illegal migrants, which is something that
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: we are subordinate to and subjected to in the City
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: of New York. But yet he wants to follow international
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: law which we have never signed on to and enforced that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: From New York City's perspective, it just is mind that
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: this is the person in charge of the city.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Well, it really is, and of course he you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: loves to confer sanctuary status to people who are here illegally,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: breaking the law. And I argued a long time ago,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and in several different columns, that it's high time for
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the federal government to go after sanctuary jurisdictions because it's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a crime to harbor people who are here illegally. It's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a further crime to interfere obstruct in federal enforcement of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: immigration laws. But that's what we have seen in places
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: like New York and out in California, where they openly
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: defy federal law and provide sanctuary. And you know, there
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: are several ways you can go after these people, both
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: civil but also criminally, and maybe it's time that people
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: be prosecuted.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Well, the fact that you have local municipalities all over
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the country, the sanctuary cities and states saying that we
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: are under no obligation to enforce federal law. That's up
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to you. Okay, Well, kidnapping is a federal law, yet
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: local police enforced that, and so is harboring a fugitive,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: kidnapping and taking people across state lines. How about bank robbery,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: that's a federal offense, right, the FBI gets involved in that,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: But yet they'll follow the law from a local perspective.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And of course I know you're a lawyer, Greg, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: lawyers will say yes, but Ken, that's because there are
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: simultaneous local and state laws. Yes, but you involved the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: FBI for those things. Don't tell me the local police say, oh, no, FBI,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you can't get involved in this bank robbery. Of course
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: they do. But yet when it comes to something they
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: don't like, they then selectively choose not to have any.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Part of it.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a lot of it. And look, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: speak is a lawyer for forty six years. You know
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of it comes down to a lack of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: knowledge of the law, which is why you know politicians
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: generally have a feelanx of lawyers to advise them.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: And I'll give you another example.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: You know wealth taxes, which you know Rocanna is pushing
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: representative from California far left liberal but Mondommie as well.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: You know in New York at some point in time,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you know there will be lawsuits filed to stop it
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: because wealth taxes are a violation of the Constitution, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in particular the sixteenth Amendment, which imposed income tax. But
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you know, wealth tax is not income, it's assets that
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: go up and down. You're not taxing somebody when they
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: take the income that's part of their wealth invested in
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: tax and bonds and businesses and so forth. And a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: constitution says direct taxes must be apportioned by state population.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Well that's not what this wealth tax is. So you know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: this is a violation of Supreme Court rulings. It's a
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: violation of the sixteenth Amendment. I think it's only a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: matter of time when the you know, wealth tax goes
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the way of the Dodo bird because it's blatantly unconstitutional.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Now, let's penalize people for their success and working hard
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: to contribute to society. And in this case, as you
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: point out, we're not talking about taxing income from their successes.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: We're talking about assuming, at this point in time what
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: their total worth is and taxing it based on that
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: which tomorrow the buildings I own could all burn down
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: and they could be worthless.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: So you can't do it exactly exactly.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And you know, what they fail to recognize is that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: wealthy people invest in businesses that drive jobs and innovation.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: You take that away and it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Harms jobs and innovation and businesses, which hurts society as.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: A whole Oh stopurologic.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Nice, yeah, stop it, you know, I mean it really is.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: It's fundamental economics and it's fundamental law.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: And these people who push this, like Mondami and you
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: know the.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Squad and Rocanna and Gavin Newsom, the governor of California,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: their bereaft of knowledge of both fundamental economics and the law.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, they're like candy to children. They speak to the
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: lowest common denominator and get people agitated and all excited.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: It holds really well for them, which is why they
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: do it, because they only care about perpetuating their own
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: power and elevating it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: All right, well we are unfortunately at a time I
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: could talk to you all day, my friend. I appreciate
• 10:09
