  Speaker 1: Always a step ahead of the news.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Here's more marked imone on seven to ten. WOI, Well,
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: let's turn down to the greatest legal analyst of all,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Greg Jarrett. You can read his latest column foxnews dot Com.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Also Greg Jarrett's books highly recommended Trial of the Century
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: and the Riveting Legal Trial Book You'll Ever Read. And
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: his latest book, The Constitution and Other Patriotic Documents, very
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: important book you should have in your library. Highly recommended,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Greg Jarrett.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: How you doing, Mark, I'm fine, Thanks for having me on.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: No, let's get to this Maduro stuff. It's violates international law,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: it's illegal, it's against the Constitution. Is it any of
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: those things?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: No, it's none of those things. And the people who
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: were saying it are either profoundly stupid or they know
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: it and they're lying. You know, every president since World
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: War Two has ordered military action without congression consent because
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: short of declaring war, presidents don't need prior approval from Congress.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: It's written in the Constitution, Article two, Section two grants
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: presidents who's commander in chief inherent power to direct military
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: strikes unilaterally. And you know, I hear some people violated
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the War Powers Act. Well, read the War Powers Act.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It's not a prohibition. It is a reporting requirement, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: notify Congress within forty eight hours of taking military action,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and the resolution itself admits that the president has that right.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: The president also, as I point out in my most
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: recent column, has another authority. It's called the take Care Clause.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: It's in the Constitution, Section two, section three, actually the Constitution.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Under that document, the president is duty bound to faithfully
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: execute all laws. And so what does that mean. Well,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: effatuating the arrest of a wanted fugitive is enforcing all laws,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: capturing that person, bringing him to court to face justice,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: seeking a prosecution, and punishment upon conviction. All of those
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: things the president is obligated to do. And look, if
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden had done it, these same Trump critics would
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: be cheering instead of denouncing President Trump. They only condemned
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Trump because it's Trump, and that's all they stand for, really,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: is just opposing everything he does. If the guy cured cancer,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: they depose it for some invented reason.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Now he's in federal court, federal charges, federal custody. If
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it were local, if it were Alvin Bragg with local charges,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: he would be out already right with the no cash,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: no base.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: What look take a look at the subsdiing indictment. It
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: is one scary document. If you're the defendant, they have
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the goods on him. The document trail alone that they've
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: accumulated is enough to convict. And then you've got cooperating witnesses,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: some of whom have already pled guilty as Maduro's co
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: conspirators in US courts, and you have highly incriminating tape recordings.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: You put all of that together and it spells conviction.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And you know, you have to understand the Department of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Justice spent the better part of a decade meticulously gathering
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the evidence against Maduro and his wife and all of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: his cronies. They looted the Venezuelan government. They did a
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: lot of it through drug trafficking, murders, torture of women
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and children, a whole host of crimes that falls under
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the category of narco terrorism. So, you know, I'm always
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: reluctant to say it's a slam dunk case, But you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: if I were you Maduro's defense attorney, I'd say, what
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: do you got to help the United States so that
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: we can play Let's make a deal.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Huh. So he does have attorneys now that are working
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: on this. Is that their only hope make a deal.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: There's no actual defense.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Look, I mean they're they're going to pull the usual
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: stuff that norie get pulled. Is you know, he has
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a very good lawyer, Barry Pollock, and you know he'll
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: do what Noriega's lawyers to challenge the capture and arrest
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and the status of Maduro, claiming a violation of due process. Oh,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it's a violation of international law, whatever that means. And
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you know they'll argue the US has not jery stiction
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to prosecute him, the assert you know, head of state
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: immunity can't do it. Well, norie tried to pull that
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: nonsense and it didn't work. It failed miserably. He was convicted,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: mostly because the Supreme Court has said, we don't care
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: who you are or how you got here into this courtroom.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You know, we treat paupers and potentates alike.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Well, that's not good for him. Hey, if you watch
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: fake news, all you keep here it's a violation of
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: international law, international law. Where exactly does this international law
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: come from.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Well, it's pretty much imaginary. One of the things they
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: point to. As you know I noted in my column,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: is that, well, there is this United Nations Charter, Section two.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Parenthesis for that says, oh, you can't violate another country's verganty.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: But read on and you see there are exceptions to it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: One of them's you know, active defense on behalf of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: another nation. And you know here, when you know you're
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: flooding metric tons of cocaine in the United States, poisonous drugs,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you know, the US has a right to defend itself.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And you know, this guy Maduro was the head of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a narco terrorism cartel that was doing all of this.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So you know, look, as I said on the air
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, the United Nations is a feckless organization
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and the UN Charter has only one valid use to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: line the bottom of a bird cage.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the UN is that organization over there on First
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Avenue and forty fifth. They have no actual authority over.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Anything, do they No, they have no enforcement authority. No
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: serious person ever pays attention thing they do. And besides,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the United States has veto power in the UN Security Council,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and so you know, whatever they tried to do would
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: get vetoed. You know, I've never quite understood how the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: UN has lasted as long as it has. You know,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: maybe the intention was good, as it was with the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: League of Nations that never got off the ground, but
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: in practice it's utterly worthless.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make sure you go read Greg Jared's column. It's
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: up at foxnews dot com. Hey, you point out in
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the column Joe Biden had offered a twenty five million
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: dollar reward for Maduro's arrest. Who was he thinking would
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: arrest him?
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I mean, you know, and when Biden was
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: running in twenty twenty, he excoriated Trump for doing nothing
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: about Maduro. And then, of course Biden took office and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: did nothing about Maduro except put a bounty on his head,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: chuck him, or stood on the floor of the United
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: States Senate when Trump was in office the first time around,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and railed against him for not getting rid of Maduro. So,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you know, in the second term, Trump does exactly what
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Schumer demanded, and Schumer then, you know, denounces Trump for
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: doing what Schumer insisted that Trump should do. I mean,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: these these people are knuckleheads, and they're you know, the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: ultimate and hypocrites.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Hey, is somebody entitled this twenty five million dollar award.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Con Pete Hexith put in a claim for it, or
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I think when the military acts and law enforcement acts,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really apply. But you know, I don't know
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: who knows. Trump may say, hey, I get the reward
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and we're going to distribute it to members of the military. Well,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I don't object to that. Those guys are the best
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: in the world. You know, the Delta Force and all
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of the other American forces that carried out this incredible
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: raid without injury to any of our military personnel. Truly remarkable.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Well, you read the column. It's a great column. It's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: up at foxnews dot com. Just look for Greg Jarrett's
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: column and all of his columns there. Make sure you
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: get his books, the latest book, The Constitution and Other
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Patriotic Documents. It's a book you should have in your library. Definitely,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: you can go get at it.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to send it to Chuck SCHUMERI might
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: come as a surprise to him. Apparently when he went
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to law school he skipped constitutional law.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's a good idea. Somebody buy it and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: send it to Chuck Schumer. It would be a good idea.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Greg Jarrett the best legal analyst of all. Thanks for
