1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: We're listening to. Well, here's the best legal analyst on earth,

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett. And make sure you get his books The

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Constitution and Other Patriotic Documents, Great Book and Trial of

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: the Century. All of his books. Greg Jarrett's books are

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: on Amazon. Of course, you can see them all over

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: Fox News and his columns at foxnews dot com. Greg Jarrett,

7
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: how you doing.

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: Of hi, Mark? Thanks for having me on.

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: Where do we even start? Minnesota? You know, the police

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: refuse to maintain order there, keep the protesters separate from

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: the cops. But the president, if he wanted to, could

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: actually send him the military to do that, couldn't he?

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely he could. And in fact Justice Kavanaugh in

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: a recent opinion pointed that out that the president has

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: Article two authority that's inherent and has other statutes, and

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: he surely meant the Insurrection Act to send in troops

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: to Minneapolis, stop the attacks on federal agents, the attacks

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: on federal property. And throughout history we have seen fifteen

19
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: presidents invoke the Insurrection Act under similar circumstances. The president

20
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: has the power. I did write in a recent column

21
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: explaining the president's power that Minnesota may not be quite

22
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: near the standard for riots and destruction that would justify

23
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: such a move. You know, calling in federal troops could

24
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: incite more protests, and you know, having the power to

25
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: act is always tempting, but wisdom is often found in restraint,

26
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: and I think the President has exercise that he's attempting

27
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: to defuse the situation there. He's made some changes in

28
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: the leadership on sight in Minnesota and pulling back some

29
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: of the ICE and Border Patrol personnel, mostly because you know,

30
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: they've accomplished a lot of what they intended to do there,

31
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: so you know, sort of time to move on. But

32
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: you know, as far as all of the violence that

33
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: has taken place there, Tim Wall, the governor, Jacob Fry,

34
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: the mayor, they bear blame. I mean, they embraced sanctuary

35
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: status for criminal aliens, they refuse to cooperate with ICE.

36
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: Then they publicly in front of cameras, gin up the

37
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 2: street rage against federal law enforcement, and that only fueled

38
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: the agitators and the anarchists to harass and impede and

39
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: even get into fire with ICE agents. I mean, what

40
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: did the mayor and governor think was going to happen? Inevitably?

41
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: You know, somebody armed was going to show up and

42
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: bloodshed would ensue.

43
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: Are these even protesters? The protesters the guy standing over

44
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: there with a sign yelling. But when you physically try

45
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: to stop law enforcement operation, where you physically go into

46
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: a church and try to interrupt the service, that's no

47
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: longer protesting. That's beyond protesting.

48
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously. And you know, look, it's always a terrible

49
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: idea to show up at a law enforcement operation and

50
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: blowing whistles and harassing with a gun stuffed in your

51
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: waist belt, and then you know, actively injecting yourself by

52
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: interfering with the officers, resisting arrest, trying to you know,

53
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: subdue another protester, I mean, getting into a physical fight

54
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: with agents. Bad idea. When you do that, terrible things

55
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: can happen. Because it's a crime to obstruct officers who

56
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: are doing their jobs.

57
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: That's an important point. If you pull your car in

58
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: the middle of the street and block them from moving,

59
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: or if they're trying to do something and you try

60
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: to stop the operation, that is actually a crime, right there, isn't.

61
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: It, Yeah, it absolutely is. You're obstructing justice, obstructing law enforcement.

62
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: You are arguably engaging in an assault and battery of

63
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: a law enforcement official. It's a variety of crimes. And

64
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: you know, Mark, you bring up the church protest. Yeah,

65
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: you know, the right to protest does not extend to

66
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: private property, and it certainly does not extend to churches.

67
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: They are protected spaces by law. So the mob that

68
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: stormed the church and terrorized and tormented the congregation, they

69
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 2: can and should be prosecuted for a variety of crimes,

70
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: including trustpath disorderly conduct, but most importantly violating what's known

71
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: as the Face Act. It is a civil rights law

72
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: that strictly protects houses of worship from threats and intimidation

73
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: here against Christians. And you know, Don Lemon could also

74
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: be prosecuted as a willing participant. He embedded himself with

75
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: the mob, knowing full well that they intended to commit

76
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: crimes by invading the church. And you know, just calling

77
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 2: yourself a journalist is not a defense and the First

78
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 2: Amendment is not a shield from criminal charges.

79
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: Now, some of the protesters argue the church is open

80
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: to the public. Anybody's allowed to come in, but you're

81
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: not allowed to distup it or stop the service.

82
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: That is correct, And you know it's private property. They

83
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: have their rules worshipers are welcome, but these were not worshipers.

84
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: This was a mob who you know, decided to trespass

85
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: out of that property, hault the service of people worshiping.

86
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: And that's, as I say, a violation of the Face

87
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: Act and a companion statute eighteen USC. Two forty seven

88
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: in the Criminal Code.

89
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: Hey, when guys like you say, you know it's about

90
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: law eighteen c. Two seventy four, how do you guys

91
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: remember that? How do you remember all these numbers? That's

92
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: an incredible feat.

93
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. You learn some of it in

94
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: law school, others in the practice of law. But you

95
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: know here, I knew there was a law, and when

96
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: it happened, I you know, looked it up and it's

97
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: right there in plain English.

98
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: Well, you know, there's some people in the President's ear

99
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: now telling them pull out them Innesota. Just announce, just

100
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: call their bluffs that we're leaving Minnesota. We're pulling out completely.

101
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: You can have all your illegals. Let's see how this

102
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: works out for you. But that's not a good idea,

103
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: is it would just encourage the rioters.

104
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: Well, rioters and protesters don't get veto power over federal law. Enforcement,

105
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: and neither do states. So the question becomes, have we

106
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: done enough? And I don't know what the percentage is,

107
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: but it's somewhere around seventy percent of their objectives have

108
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: been accomplished, so it's time to scale back, and that's reasonable.

109
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: They did that in Los Angeles. They had achieved what

110
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: they wanted to achieve for the most part, so they

111
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: reduced their operations and their personnel. Makes perfect sense.

112
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: Hey, now the federal government, their law enforcement, their troops.

113
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: They're legally entitled to inter a city and do whatever

114
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: they have to do. Correct the federal law overtakes the

115
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: local law.

116
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, it's the supremacy clause. And you know federal

117
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: law supersedes state law whenever there is a conflict. So

118
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: you know, for example, the state has hauled off and

119
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: you know, file a lawsuit to evict all Ice from Minnesota. Well,

120
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: you know, they're idiots if they think the law supports that,

121
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: because it doesn't. As I said before, you know, states

122
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: don't get to dictate what the federal government does in

123
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 2: terms of law enforcement. The supremacy clause of the Constitution

124
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: makes that abundantly clear, and the US Supreme Court has

125
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: consistently upheld the supremacy clause and the right of federal authority.

126
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Gregg Jared, great stuff mcginny's books. By the way,

127
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: I love Trial of the Century. It's one of the

128
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: best books. And the latest book is the content to

129
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: other patriotic documents. Are you working on a new book?

130
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: No, I'm taking a break. Palell writing books. Who's an

131
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: onerous process. And I deserve a break after four books.

132
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: I know, but we deserve another book. They're all great books.

133
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: And just go to Amazon. Thank you.

134
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.

135
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: You get Greg Jarrett's books and read his columns, and

136
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: of course Foxnews and foxnews dot Com. Great stuff, Greg Jarrett,

00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. My pleasure. Mark, Take care,

138
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: take care. It is a very tough thing to write

139
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: a book. I've been trying to do it for years.

140
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: I think I got so far half a page. It's

141
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: really and I don't know how anybody does it. I

142
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: know got people that are best selling authors. This is

143
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: what they do all day, but they somehow are able

144
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: to lock themselves in a room for like six hours

145
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: a day, sitting there at the keyboard, hour after hour

146
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: after hour. Anyway, we got a lot coming up in

147
