Speaker 1: a d R dot org. Today Bloomberg LA hosts Gregg's

Speaker 1: Store and Michael Best discussed the latest developments in the

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: legal battle over President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration.

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: They speak with Leon Fresco, partner at Holland and Night

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: and Deputy Assistant Attorney General from the Office of Immigration

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: Litigation at the U. S. Department of Justice, and James Copeland,

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: Senior Fellow and Director of Legal Policy at the Manhattan Institute.

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: A couple of different statutes, one from nineteen I think

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: fifty two says that the president has broad power to

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: exclude any class of alien from the country, and then

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: there's another one a few decades later that says the

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: president can't discriminate on various bases, including national origin, when

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: it comes to giving out visas. Can you sort of

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: clarify how those two statutes work together. I think the

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: courts are likely to read these as as not particularly

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: in conflict. In other words, as long as I mean,

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: I think if the President of the United States were

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: to engage in sort of a permanent restructuring of of

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: the visa allocation process that was in contravention of the

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: Congressional Statute, didn't have a problem. But when it comes

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: to that sort of temporary denial of admission for a

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: class of aliens, which is specifically authorized in another section

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: of the Code, I mean, I think the president putting

29
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: those constitutional arguments to the side, or any sort of

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: contractual or do process claims. Uh, you know, I think

31
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to us a conflict of laws type

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: of question between these two provisions of the Code, the

33
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: presidents on pretty strong ground there. Jim, how quickly would

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: we expect that this could get to the Supreme Court?

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: My guess is it could be quite quick. Uh. And

36
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: the reason is, uh, this is it is obviously going

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: to be a very button issue. So, um, what what

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: the Trump administration would I presumeably do immediately were they

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: to lose? To lose at the Ninth Circuit is trying

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: to get some sort of emergency action by the Supreme Court. Now,

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: would the Supreme Court be likely to do that? As

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: a very different question. Um, but but but my guess

43
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: is there'd be quite a quick move on it. I mean,

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: these are all very sorts of quick moves. Normally, courts

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: take a long time to decide things, right, but when

46
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: you have something like at t r O, which is

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: an ex party type of of a move like this

48
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: before you've had any sort of briefing, etcetera, you know,

49
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: things can move very quickly. And with the Ninth Circuit

50
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: panel that drew this case was trying to do was

51
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: look at this and uh, they wanted to see briefing

52
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 1: before they made a call one way or the other. Here,

53
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: my guess is the Supreme Court might do the same thing.

54
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: But we see very quick action on either side with

55
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: an adverse ruling. Les Leon Fresco, a partner at Holland

56

63
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: lawsuits overtaking liberties with Hamilton's investors who say they lost

64
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: one and a half million dollars in a scam involving

65
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: the resale of tickets to the Broadway Blockbuster. Hamilton's have

66
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: sued an advisory firm that pushed them into the venture.

67
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: The suit claims at Tripoint Global Equities and Tripoint Capital

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Advisors didn't investigate the ticket preselling plan or they would

69
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: have seen the red flags. Three people have been charged

70
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: with running the Hamilton ticket business as a Ponzi scheme.
