WOI, Well, 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 2: let's turn down to the greatest legal analyst of all, 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: Greg Jarrett.

And 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: his latest book, The Constitution and Other Patriotic Documents, very 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 2: important book you should have in your library. Highly recommended, 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: Greg Jarrett. 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: How you doing, Mark, I'm fine, Thanks for having me on. 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: No, let's get to this Maduro stuff. It's violates international law, 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: it's illegal, it's against the Constitution. Is it any of 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 2: those things? 14 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: No, it's none of those things. And the people who 15 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: were saying it are either profoundly stupid or they know 16 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: it and they're lying. You know, every president since World 17 00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: War Two has ordered military action without congression consent because 18 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: short of declaring war, presidents don't need prior approval from Congress. 19 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: It's written in the Constitution, Article two, Section two grants 20 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: presidents who's commander in chief inherent power to direct military 21 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: strikes unilaterally. And you know, I hear some people violated 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: the War Powers Act. Well, read the War Powers Act. 23 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: It's not a prohibition. It is a reporting requirement, you know, 24 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: notify Congress within forty eight hours of taking military action, 25 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: and the resolution itself admits that the president has that right. 26 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: The president also, as I point out in my most 27 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: recent column, has another authority. It's called the take Care Clause. 28 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: It's in the Constitution, Section two, section three, actually the Constitution. 29 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: Under that document, the president is duty bound to faithfully 30 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: execute all laws. And so what does that mean. Well, 31 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: effatuating the arrest of a wanted fugitive is enforcing all laws, 32 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: capturing that person, bringing him to court to face justice, 33 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: seeking a prosecution, and punishment upon conviction. All of those 34 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: things the president is obligated to do. And look, if 35 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden had done it, these same Trump critics would 36 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: be cheering instead of denouncing President Trump. They only condemned 37 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: Trump because it's Trump, and that's all they stand for, really, 38 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: is just opposing everything he does. If the guy cured cancer, 39 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: they depose it for some invented reason. 40 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: Now he's in federal court, federal charges, federal custody. If 41 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: it were local, if it were Alvin Bragg with local charges, 42 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: he would be out already right with the no cash, 43 00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: no base. 44 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: What look take a look at the subsdiing indictment. It 45 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: is one scary document. If you're the defendant, they have 46 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: the goods on him. The document trail alone that they've 47 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: accumulated is enough to convict. And then you've got cooperating witnesses, 48 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: some of whom have already pled guilty as Maduro's co 49 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: conspirators in US courts, and you have highly incriminating tape recordings. 50 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: You put all of that together and it spells conviction. 51 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: And you know, you have to understand the Department of 52 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: Justice spent the better part of a decade meticulously gathering 53 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: the evidence against Maduro and his wife and all of 54 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: his cronies. They looted the Venezuelan government. They did a 55 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: lot of it through drug trafficking, murders, torture of women 56 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: and children, a whole host of crimes that falls under 57 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: the category of narco terrorism. So, you know, I'm always 58 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: reluctant to say it's a slam dunk case, But you know, 59 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: if I were you Maduro's defense attorney, I'd say, what 60 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: do you got to help the United States so that 61 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: we can play Let's make a deal. 62 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: Huh. So he does have attorneys now that are working 63 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: on this. Is that their only hope make a deal. 64 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 2: There's no actual defense. 65 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: Look, I mean they're they're going to pull the usual 66 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: stuff that norie get pulled. Is you know, he has 67 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: a very good lawyer, Barry Pollock, and you know he'll 68 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: do what Noriega's lawyers to challenge the capture and arrest 69 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: and the status of Maduro, claiming a violation of due process. Oh, 70 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: it's a violation of international law, whatever that means. And 71 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: you know they'll argue the US has not jery stiction 72 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: to prosecute him, the assert you know, head of state 73 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: immunity can't do it. Well, norie tried to pull that 74 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: nonsense and it didn't work. It failed miserably. He was convicted, 75 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: mostly because the Supreme Court has said, we don't care 76 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: who you are or how you got here into this courtroom. 77 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: You know, we treat paupers and potentates alike. 78 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: Well, that's not good for him. Hey, if you watch 79 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 2: fake news, all you keep here it's a violation of 80 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: international law, international law. Where exactly does this international law 81 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: come from. 82 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: Well, it's pretty much imaginary. One of the things they 83 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: point to. As you know I noted in my column, 84 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: is that, well, there is this United Nations Charter, Section two. 85 00:05:53,920 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: Parenthesis for that says, oh, you can't violate another country's verganty. 86 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: But read on and you see there are exceptions to it. 87 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: One of them's you know, active defense on behalf of 88 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: another nation. And you know here, when you know you're 89 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: flooding metric tons of cocaine in the United States, poisonous drugs, 90 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, the US has a right to defend itself. 91 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: And you know, this guy Maduro was the head of 92 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: a narco terrorism cartel that was doing all of this. 93 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: So you know, look, as I said on the air 94 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: over the weekend, the United Nations is a feckless organization 95 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: and the UN Charter has only one valid use to 96 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: line the bottom of a bird cage. 97 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, the UN is that organization over there on First 98 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 2: Avenue and forty fifth. They have no actual authority over. 99 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: Anything, do they No, they have no enforcement authority. No 100 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: serious person ever pays attention thing they do. And besides, 101 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: the United States has veto power in the UN Security Council, 102 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: and so you know, whatever they tried to do would 103 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: get vetoed. You know, I've never quite understood how the 104 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: UN has lasted as long as it has. You know, 105 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: maybe the intention was good, as it was with the 106 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: League of Nations that never got off the ground, but 107 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: in practice it's utterly worthless. 108 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, make sure you go read Greg Jared's column. It's 109 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 2: up at foxnews dot com. Hey, you point out in 110 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 2: the column Joe Biden had offered a twenty five million 111 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: dollar reward for Maduro's arrest. Who was he thinking would 112 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: arrest him? 113 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I mean, you know, and when Biden was 114 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: running in twenty twenty, he excoriated Trump for doing nothing 115 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: about Maduro. And then, of course Biden took office and 116 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: did nothing about Maduro except put a bounty on his head, 117 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: chuck him, or stood on the floor of the United 118 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: States Senate when Trump was in office the first time around, 119 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: and railed against him for not getting rid of Maduro. So, 120 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: you know, in the second term, Trump does exactly what 121 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: Schumer demanded, and Schumer then, you know, denounces Trump for 122 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: doing what Schumer insisted that Trump should do. I mean, 123 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: these these people are knuckleheads, and they're you know, the 124 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: ultimate and hypocrites. 125 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: Hey, is somebody entitled this twenty five million dollar award. 126 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: Con Pete Hexith put in a claim for it, or 127 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. 128 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: I think when the military acts and law enforcement acts, 129 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't really apply. But you know, I don't know 130 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: who knows. Trump may say, hey, I get the reward 131 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: and we're going to distribute it to members of the military. Well, 132 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: I don't object to that. Those guys are the best 133 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: in the world. You know, the Delta Force and all 134 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: of the other American forces that carried out this incredible 135 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: raid without injury to any of our military personnel. Truly remarkable. 136 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: Well, you read the column. It's a great column. It's 137 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: up at foxnews dot com.

Apparently when he went 144 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: to law school he skipped constitutional law. 145 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's a good idea. Somebody buy it and 146 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: send it to Chuck Schumer.
