Summary

Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a federal grand jury and faces very serious charges related to his campaign to become the first African-American mayor of a major U.S. city. But is he the victim of a political smear campaign? Or is it something more sinister?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit Roger Stone.
00:00:07.220 Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.
00:00:11.280 He is a New York Times best-selling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald
00:00:16.000 Trump. As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts,
00:00:20.940 spoken at countless venues, and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the
00:00:26.000 Cambridge Union Society. Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena,
00:00:31.140 Stone has become a pop culture icon. And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.
00:00:41.140 Welcome. I'm Roger Stone. And yes, you are back in the Stone Zone. We have two focuses today.
00:00:48.600 The first one is on New York City Mayor Eric Adams. You remember Adams. He is the liberal Democrat who
00:00:55.420 ran for mayor of New York City as an outspoken advocate of that city being a sanctuary city.
00:01:03.440 He went so far as to say that illegals were welcome in New York City. Now he's whistling a very different
00:01:11.980 tune. The only opposition he ever voiced to open borders and the policy of Joe Biden, well,
00:01:19.660 that was none whatsoever. His real issue was the fact that the federal government would not write
00:01:25.300 him multi-million dollar checks to deal with the problem that they had created. Indeed, the invasion
00:01:33.360 of illegals into stable New York neighborhoods where they have been housed in migrant shelters has caused
00:01:40.860 an extraordinary crime problem. We actually reported here on the Stone Zone about a decision to put a
00:01:47.900 migrant shelter next to a Catholic girl's school in Staten Island. But now that Eric Adams has been
00:01:55.620 indicted by a federal grand jury and faces very serious charges, he seems to be whispering a very
00:02:03.220 different tune. Joining us to break this down is my friend Sal Greco. Sal is a 14-year veteran of New York
00:02:12.080 City Police Department with an unblemished record of service to the people of New York, sometimes assigned
00:02:19.180 to some of the most dangerous precincts in New York City for the graveyard shift. As many who follow the
00:02:27.180 Stone Zone know, Officer Greco was terminated by the city of New York simply because he is a friend of mine.
00:02:35.580 They terminated him because they used a city regulation by the police department that says
00:02:43.800 one cannot associate with individuals who in the past may have or in the future may involve themselves
00:02:52.840 in criminal activity. You just described the entire top brass of the New York City Police Department,
00:03:00.020 every one of whom has broken that rule. But you see, they're not Sal Greco. Joining us now,
00:03:07.020 the host of the Sal Greco Show and my good friend, Officer Salvatore Greco.
00:03:14.320 Thank you, Roger. Thanks for the great introduction.
00:03:18.360 Well, Sal, nobody knows more about this than you do. Since the time that they unjustly, and I would argue
00:03:25.460 you have a federal lawsuit pending against the city of New York, the perps have moved three times to have
00:03:36.100 it dismissed. You're very fortunate you've gotten an honest, unbiased judge who has refused to dismiss
00:03:43.500 that suit. Now the city is stalling in their depositions. I understand they turned over material to you in
00:03:51.080 discovery, which actually excludes documents that they referred to during your administrative trial.
00:03:58.440 Somebody's going to get disbarred here and others are going to pay a high price, but it's not really
00:04:03.840 what we're here to talk about today. For some reason, many Trump supporters seem to buy into this narrative
00:04:13.100 that Eric Adams was only targeted for prosecution because he's such an outspoken critic of Joe Biden's
00:04:21.400 open borders policy. As I said in the opening, that's nonsense. He was a full-throated advocate
00:04:29.460 of New York City being a sanctuary city. His only criticism of the Biden administration was that they
00:04:37.180 wouldn't write him a multi-million dollar check to deal with the problems. So now, however, he's in deep,
00:04:47.800 deep trouble. Now, some people, I was watching, I guess it was Greg Gutfield's show on Fox, and I saw one of
00:04:57.240 the commentators say that, well, the charges of Eric Adams are really minor. I mean, he had a coach seat
00:05:04.260 on Turkish Airlines and they bumped it up to first class somewhat more serious than that. Is it not, Sal?
00:05:11.980 It's a lot more serious. And his whole, we'll say the whole mantra of how he started his mayoral ship
00:05:19.060 is more important here. So we'll go back. So first of all, he campaigned stating that New York City
00:05:27.700 would remain a sanctuary city. Eric Adams himself is for illegals voting in the local elections. He's
00:05:34.780 never changed his position, Roger. He's never said, oh, I don't believe, that's what he believes. He then
00:05:40.600 in October of 2023, at a press conference stated that the official policy for New York City is that
00:05:47.800 the borders are to remain open. The only reason... Let's show that video just because we want, we like
00:05:54.100 to document everything we say here on the Stone Zone. Let's roll that quick video.
00:05:58.420 We believe the borders should remain open. That's the official position of this city.
00:06:04.780 There you go.
00:06:06.660 Yeah, it's not me. I know people like to say, well, Sal, you have an ax to grind. That might be so,
00:06:12.480 but it doesn't make it that I'm lying about anything either. It's not saying that I'm lying here. So
00:06:17.260 when we go, you just saw that he has his open border policy. He also spent, the government gave
00:06:24.760 him $6.4 billion, or he said that he spent, and the government gave him $100 million, I believe.
00:06:31.480 But we don't even know how he requisitioned this. Because as you know, there are problems with the
00:06:37.020 migrant shelter. So one of the issues also with the migrant shelter here, Roger, is that his pal,
00:06:43.080 Tim Pearson, was in charge of the migrant shelter contracts. Like you stated about the shelter that
00:06:49.840 was in Staten Island. I believe the Roosevelt Hotel is another migrant shelter contract that's coming
00:06:54.940 under fire. And Tim Pearson's actually being federally investigated, not only for that, for many other
00:07:01.820 infractions, we'll say. So Eric, some of this is very self-inflicted. He's a highly conflicted
00:07:09.960 individual who surrounds himself with highly corruptible people. So when he says he wants the
00:07:15.520 money, when he said, hey, the government won't give me money, as you correctly stated, he's talking
00:07:20.580 about these migrant shelter contracts, because they were making money off of that. That's why he is now
00:07:26.260 doing press conferences by himself, because everybody got subpoenaed, everybody's in a grand jury.
00:07:31.940 Now the actual indictment, as you stated, what he's actually being indicted for, the most important
00:07:37.580 thing is, he received $10 million in public matching funds through Turkish, that is foreign,
00:07:46.140 straw donors, via the 8-to-1 public matching fund program New York City has. That's $10 million of
00:07:53.480 New York City taxpayer money. That's not $10 million of his own money. So essentially, he's a crook,
00:08:00.680 just like Bob Menendez before him that was prosecuted and convicted in New York City.
00:08:05.360 There's nothing political about this, Roger. Their investigation started in 2021. That was prior
00:08:11.320 to him becoming mayor or even winning his primary. He was under investigation in early 2021. That's
00:08:18.320 when it started. So why is this political? What's this got to do with the migrant crisis or whatever
00:08:24.580 you want to call this, the undocumented situation that they have there in New York City?
00:08:29.820 I mean, here's a video of him making very clear that he believes New York City is a right to shelter
00:08:39.660 state, meaning that the illegals that he now seems to be so hot to expel, well, he said they had a
00:08:45.960 right to be there. Let's roll it. As the mayor of the city of New York, I don't weigh into immigration
00:08:51.140 issues, border issues. I have to provide services for families that are here, and that's what we're going
00:08:55.980 to do. And that's what we, our responsibility as a city, you know, I'm proud that this is a right to
00:09:02.000 shelter state, and we're going to continue to do that.
00:09:05.540 I think that proves your point, Sal, but now suddenly he's changed his tune. He showed up at
00:09:13.400 the UFC fight when Donald Trump was in New York City recently to try to shake the president's hand.
00:09:20.320 It looked to me like the president shook his hand quickly and kind of blew him off. But there are
00:09:26.360 Republicans who seem to be out repeating this false narrative that, oh, no, he was only targeted
00:09:33.580 because he's a critic of Biden's open borders policy. I happen to know there's a grand jury
00:09:39.940 investigation now looking at whether Eric Adams paid certain New York City-based Republicans
00:09:46.340 to parrot that line and where those monies came from. The mayor is now suddenly, he's gung-ho for
00:09:55.940 cooperating with immigration czar Tom Homan. He actually said that he was looking forward to
00:10:05.660 meeting with Homan, and suddenly Eric Adams doesn't care about being canceled. Let's take a look at that.
00:10:13.980 Those who are here committing crimes, robberies, shooting at police officers, raping innocent people,
00:10:20.080 have been a harm to our country, I want to sit down and hear the plan on how we're going to address them.
00:10:27.560 Those are the people I am talking about, and I would love to sit down with the board of czar
00:10:32.420 and hear his thoughts on how we're going to address those who are harming our citizens.
00:10:37.900 You're open to that.
00:10:38.660 Open to?
00:10:40.560 To hearing what their plan is to deport some of these folks, and you think the city,
00:10:46.340 in some circumstances, should cooperate with ICE.
00:10:49.260 Let me—you know what's interesting? And I was talking to the team the other day.
00:10:52.760 I want you to all go back and Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
00:11:01.420 Google what they said about those who commit crimes in our city and what they said in our country.
00:11:07.260 They said those who commit crimes need to get out right away. That was their position.
00:11:14.480 So, this is not a new position, you know, because in the state of—in the era of cancel culture,
00:11:23.120 no one's afraid to be honest about the truth.
00:11:25.740 Well, cancel me, because I'm going to protect the people of this city.
00:11:29.780 And if you come into this country, in this city, and think you're going to harm innocent New Yorkers
00:11:34.960 and innocent migrants and asylum seekers, this is not the mayor you want to be in the city under.
00:11:40.840 The way I want to compliment Mayor Adams on his double-breasted waistcoat—that's very rare.
00:11:47.400 He is, without any question, the best-dressed mayor since Jimmy Walker, the shortest mayor
00:11:54.300 since Abe Beam, the most incompetent mayor since Bill de Blasio, and the most corrupt mayor
00:12:01.660 since William O'Dwyer. It's extraordinary to see this metamorphosis going on, because what he's doing
00:12:10.460 here, folks, is he's trawling for a pardon from President Donald Trump. He's also, interestingly enough,
00:12:18.320 and this has to be quite politically incorrect, he's weighed in on the issue of Daniel Perry,
00:12:25.200 who is the man who actually protected a woman from being assaulted by a thug on a subway,
00:12:32.720 and now is facing serious charges in the New York courts.
00:12:38.040 First of all, Sal, well, we've got a quick video of that. Let's roll it. And then I'd like to hear
00:12:43.880 your analysis of the Perry case.
00:12:46.100 You can look at that on a multi-faceted approach of everything that's wrong with the system that
00:12:53.420 we're facing. One, look at the photo that they used to show the victims. It seemed like it was a
00:13:02.400 young, innocent child who was brutally murdered, and it gave that impression. When you looked at
00:13:10.560 the photo that was being used, it wanted to set up in the minds of people that we were dealing with,
00:13:15.660 a young, innocent child that, you know, just a Michael Jackson intimidator that, you know,
00:13:22.100 was just brutally assaulted. Then you look at the complete failure of our mental health system,
00:13:30.280 a complete failure from the days of closing psychiatric wards and having those who needed
00:13:36.180 help just turned over into the street without giving any safety net to accept them. Parents
00:13:42.320 reach out to me all the time and say, I'm watching my child go down, or my loved one,
00:13:47.260 my family member going down, this serious decline. What do we do? A system where you brought people
00:13:53.860 into hospitals, gave them medicine for one day and sent them back. The young man in this case was
00:14:01.240 going within our system, throughout the revolving door of our system. Now, we're on a subway where
00:14:07.940 we're hearing someone talking about hurting people, killing people. You have someone on that subway who
00:14:14.580 was responding, doing what we should have done as a city in a state of having a better mental health
00:14:22.140 facility. Those passengers were afraid. I'm hoping that the jury will hear all the facts.
00:14:29.000 Based on all the facts that's laid out, a jury of his peers would make the right decision.
00:14:34.100 And I don't want to prejudge that. I'm just looking at all the facts that are involved here
00:14:38.200 and what we did to get to where we are and what we're seeing. Because that could have easily been
00:14:43.280 a case where you saw three innocent people murdered on our street two weeks ago.
00:14:47.500 All right, Sal, the Daniel Perry case, this couldn't seem more obvious to me, but it turns out that the
00:14:57.420 woman who's prosecuting this case in the past has been far more liberal in her recommendations,
00:15:05.240 sensing recommendations for people who committed violent crimes because of their backgrounds of
00:15:12.360 a lack of privilege or race, I thought we had a colorblind criminal justice system. Tell us about
00:15:20.220 this case, if you will, because you were a police officer for almost 15 years.
00:15:26.780 So the case is actually Daniel Penny, who was a Marine of, you know, he was on the train and saw this
00:15:33.920 Jordan Neely who was, I guess, causing a disturbance. Obviously, as you know, and, you know,
00:15:40.980 Eric himself loves to tout how crime is down, but the transit crime was actually very high. The numbers
00:15:48.060 from 2023 to 2024 are actually higher. That's another thing we could discuss with the crime
00:15:54.060 statistics, but that has a major factor in this case. So the police officers are very, we'll say,
00:16:01.200 scarce around transit, especially at this time. So Jordan Neely was on the train giving a disturbance,
00:16:08.680 bothering people. You know, he's mental, he got mental issues, but he's also been arrested numerous
00:16:13.120 times. So Daniel Penny took it upon himself to try to quell the situation. The guy was irate. He was,
00:16:20.740 I think he tried to assault somebody on the train. So he put him in what they're calling a chokehold.
00:16:26.960 That's also a move to detain someone. And unfortunately, Jordan Neely perished right after this,
00:16:35.380 and they tried to charge Daniel Penny with the murder. So he's been in court and they charge him
00:16:41.900 with murder. And I think it's really self-defense and he didn't mean to murder the guy. So now we're
00:16:48.740 seeing the trial. And actually this morning, Jordan Neely's father hit Daniel Penny with the civil
00:16:57.460 rights lawsuit, you know, the, for damages because his son was killed. So he just got hit with that
00:17:05.300 as his verdict may come down today or might come this week. We don't know when they're going to
00:17:11.140 announce the verdict, but I like to go back to the video you pointed with Eric Adams. When this
00:17:16.800 situation first happened, Roger, there's a video of it. Eric Adams is saying how Jordan Neely,
00:17:22.960 who is the person that perished here. He said that my son's name is Jordan. And he repeated that.
00:17:31.180 And he goes, another one of our own was taken today. What does he mean by that, Roger? And I'll tell you
00:17:38.280 what it means. It goes back to his ways of the Al Sharpton slash Louis Farrakhan class. He's making it
00:17:45.800 about race. Just like when Eric called, you know, Caucasian police officers crackers. He said that
00:17:52.880 he, quote, I kicked some crackers ass, end quote. That's what he says. So when Eric wants, he plays
00:18:00.720 to the low information base. Then he goes back. Now he's trying to act like he's MAGA. This guy is a
00:18:07.020 snake. He's just shedding his snake skin right in front of everyone's eyes. And hopefully the jury will
00:18:12.980 say that Daniel Penny is found not guilty. That should be the verdict here. That was self-defense.
00:18:18.240 It's just very unfortunate that the whole situation happened that day. And that is what I hope I'm
00:18:24.740 hoping for is a not guilty verdict. We should all be praying for that. Sal, we do want to talk about
00:18:31.920 your own case only because it demonstrates that Eric Adams and many others in the New York City
00:18:38.820 Police Department brass had been held to a very different standard than you have. There is a
00:18:44.880 regulation that says that police officers cannot associate with those who in the past or in the
00:18:51.920 future may engage in criminal activity. So they terminated you because you're a friend of mine.
00:18:58.860 Okay, fine. But Eric Adams was a bodyguard for Mike Tyson, a convicted felon. He was brought up on
00:19:06.620 the same administrative charge. I think they docked him, I believe it was five days of his vacation.
00:19:12.640 In your case, you lost your job, you lost your pension, and they refused to give you a good
00:19:18.960 conduct letter, which means if you chose to work as a law enforcement officer in a different jurisdiction,
00:19:25.280 say in Florida where you now live, you wouldn't be able to be hired. That's just one example.
00:19:32.500 What about when Cardi B, the convicted gang member with a long criminal rap sheet,
00:19:39.720 was invited to speak at the New York City Police Academy? I would argue that every single officer
00:19:46.280 who came in contact with her is in violation of that same regulation under which they terminated you,
00:19:53.760 but none of them have been fired. None of them have even been brought up on administrative charges.
00:20:00.040 This is what we call the two-tiered justice system. I do also want to focus specifically on the
00:20:07.900 officer who conducted the investigation into you, a gentleman named Jeremy Ornstein. He won't be with
00:20:14.940 the New York City Police Department much longer. You have a lawsuit pending against him personally.
00:20:20.920 He, in the investigation of you, when he sought your cell phone records from Verizon, when he sought the
00:20:30.860 video records from the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., where you and I stayed on the 5th, by the way,
00:20:39.140 we never left the hotel grounds on the 6th. At first, they denied those requests. Then he reapplied,
00:20:48.300 saying that your investigation was a narcotics investigation, which, of course, it wasn't.
00:20:55.620 Unfortunately, this officer, Mr. Ornstein, has a long record of legal abuses, and I want to talk
00:21:04.560 about that case when we come back on the other side. The other thing we're going to talk about,
00:21:09.240 the fact that all of a sudden, Eric Adams, he's a major supporter of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's
00:21:16.880 Department of Government Efficiency, which is pretty laughable. Folks, we're going to take a quick
00:21:23.720 commercial break, and then we're going to be right back with our friend, Sal Greco. Last week was the
00:21:29.740 61st anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Now, the Kennedy assassination
00:21:37.520 continues to fascinate Americans. I think it's because, well, most Americans believe we still
00:21:43.700 haven't been told the truth. And that's why I wrote The Man Who Killed Kennedy, The Case Against LBJ.
00:21:52.040 It is a New York Times bestselling book, heavily documented and heavily footnoted. I make the case
00:21:59.660 that using fingerprint evidence, eyewitness evidence, deep Texas politics, and conversations I had with
00:22:08.700 President Richard Nixon, among others in his post-presidency, that Lyndon Baines Johnson was at
00:22:15.360 the helm of a plot to murder President John F. Kennedy. I think I firmly established motive,
00:22:24.780 means, and opportunity. This is a book, if this subject interests you, you don't want to miss.
00:22:31.900 It would make a great Christmas present for anyone in your family who's a history or political buff.
00:22:37.840 Now, you can get your copy by going to themanwhokilledkennedy.com, themanwhokilledkennedy.com.
00:22:47.720 And when you buy it there, you can get it signed. You can also get it personally dedicated to you.
00:22:55.940 So you could go to Amazon. You could go to Barnes and Noble. You could buy the book there.
00:23:01.860 If you choose to do so, please get the paperback version, because it has three additional chapters
00:23:09.040 that I wrote after the hardcopy version was printed. So the paperback version is really preferable.
00:23:17.500 But if you're interested in history, and you want to know about the shocking truth regarding the murder
00:23:23.480 of JFK, well, I think this is the book for you. Let me also say that those who say that the Central
00:23:31.900 Intelligence Agency was deeply involved in Kennedy's murder are correct. Those who say that organized
00:23:37.980 crime was deeply involved in Kennedy's murder, they're also correct. Those who say that the
00:23:44.440 Secret Service and the FBI were involved in his murder, well, they're also correct. Those who say
00:23:51.260 that big business and the banks had a hand in Kennedy's murder. I establish that they're right
00:23:57.160 also. And then, of course, there's big Texas oil. Their motivation is the fact that JFK was trying
00:24:03.780 to repeal the oil depletion allowance. But the common thread of all of these organizations
00:24:10.180 is one Lyndon Baines Johnson. Folks, my book reads like a murder mystery. We're going to put it up one
00:24:17.640 more time. You can order it for Christmas by going to The Man Who Killed Kennedy, the case
00:24:24.560 against LBJ. Pardon me, TheManWhoKilledKennedy.com. TheManWhoKilledKennedy.com. If you order today,
00:24:31.600 we can certainly get that to you by Christmas. Check it out. I think you will like it.
00:24:37.540 All right, we return to our guest, Sal Greco. He is a 14 plus year veteran of the New York City
00:24:45.960 Police Department, decorated for the most DUI arrests in given years. A man with an unblemished
00:24:56.460 record of service to the people of the city of New York, unfairly terminated from his life's work,
00:25:03.540 and then harassed by the New York City Police Department. You know, when you put a police
00:25:08.840 officer under surveillance, you can't be so stupid that they don't know that. Sal, your situation
00:25:15.700 was particularly outrageous. Your father passed during the time that you were under investigation.
00:25:22.560 You had depleted all your personal funds paying for your legal defense. You could barely get the
00:25:30.440 money to bury your own father. And they tailed you when you went to his memorial service. This is
00:25:37.860 outrageous. And Jeremy Ornstein, if you're out there, justice will find you, my friend. You
00:25:43.180 cannot abuse people like this. Sal? Yeah. So what happened there with Jeremy Ornstein is he's got a
00:25:52.720 history of this. There was a prior case with, I believe, two sergeants. They're called the Nieves
00:25:59.560 brothers. And he was investigating them, saying that they were having a party. And they were hiring,
00:26:06.720 you know, female escorts. So he translated. By the way, he got an illegal warrant for that too. I mean,
00:26:15.300 this guy just, that's all the guy does. He does administrative subpoenas for warrants that would be
00:26:22.500 something you would do in a criminal case, not a internal investigation in the New York City Police
00:26:28.100 Department. So he transcribed, he got illegal wiretaps. He was listening in on wiretaps on the phone.
00:26:34.960 And what he transcribed as them speaking in Spanish about having female escorts come to a party was
00:26:44.120 actually regular dancers being hired for one of the brothers' birthday party. He got caught perjuring
00:26:52.020 himself. And the case was dismissed. It was a criminal case. They had to reinstate this officer as well.
00:26:58.620 It was a major case at that time. That was Jeremy Ornstein, who then got my case. What did he do in my case?
00:27:05.420 Well, he used administrative subpoenas to not only get those phone records, as Roger stated, but to get the
00:27:12.960 camera footage from the Willard Hotel that all it showed is me and Roger sitting in the lobby with other people.
00:27:20.940 There's nothing illegal going on. But in order to get this surveillance footage, you have to actually—it goes
00:27:28.440 against the internal affairs' own memos, meaning their own guidelines and rules, to try to get a subpoena
00:27:36.020 out of state. They're not supposed to do this. He did it in an administrative fashion. He used an—once
00:27:42.940 again, an administrative subpoena for this record. In the end, everything they did proved that not only
00:27:49.800 Roger Stone did nothing wrong, but Sal Greco did nothing wrong. There was no criminality here.
00:27:54.940 And the only thing that this guy was harping on, as Roger saw it in my own internal trial, was
00:28:00.080 I was friends with Roger Stone, and I'm a supporter of President Trump. It's funny that now,
00:28:06.620 all these years later, it's the boss of Jeremy Ornstein, Eric Adams, who was begging and pleading
00:28:13.100 like a dog for a pardon. And he's the guy that said, we don't like President Trump, because that's
00:28:18.240 what he fired me for. It's very ironic how this story has twisted. And yes, Roger, they did tell me
00:28:24.160 when my father passed away. As he was passing away, I was tailed by one of the Jeremy Ornstein's
00:28:30.160 compadres all the way to the hospital as my father lay there. And as he was dying, right outside the
00:28:37.460 window, there was his compadre taking video. And we do have that footage of the video. I have it in
00:28:42.640 my own discovery. So very disgusting tactics used by Jeremy Ornstein, who will be seeing—he will be
00:28:49.900 questioned in this. His depositions will be coming shortly.
00:28:53.180 Now, Sal, you filed a serious lawsuit, federal lawsuit, because your rights have been violated
00:28:59.840 here. But how long ago was that? I mean, the city has been stalling again and again and again.
00:29:07.320 And what you told me last week is what they turned over in discovery is woefully inadequate, unless you
00:29:13.800 believe that nobody in the police department ever discussed this with anyone else in the police
00:29:18.360 department and that Eric Adams' office was completely unaware and uninvolved in your firing.
00:29:24.360 No one believes that. Tell us about the status of the case.
00:29:29.320 So we were set to do depositions about, I'd say, a week ago, a week and a half ago. And conveniently,
00:29:37.100 Corporation Counsel's attorney, representing the city, got sick a few hours before the former
00:29:43.220 police commissioner's deposition was about to take place. Then, in another strange twist of faith,
00:29:50.340 he decides to—the Corporation Counsel lawyer calls my lawyer and says, oh, let's set a date,
00:29:55.920 because, you know, my deposition would have been this week. But what happens now is, conveniently,
00:30:01.920 my attorney gets called for jury duty. So I wonder how that happened. So now everything is on hold,
00:30:09.960 because with jury duty in the middle, as you know, you have to complete that because you can't push it off
00:30:15.520 because he had already pushed it off prior. And it's funny how they called—they said they were going to
00:30:22.240 at least try in six months. They did it in five months. And they did it conveniently when the depositions
00:30:28.200 were about to take place with the police commissioner, Jeremy Ornstein, and all these other people.
00:30:32.560 So is it a strange coincidence, or is it, once again, the same nefarious characters in the background
00:30:40.260 meddling in this case?
00:30:43.280 Well, justice delayed is justice denied. This lawsuit has now been pending for three years,
00:30:50.580 yet the city has stalled on handing over materials in Discovery, which they're required to do by law.
00:30:57.500 And then, of course, their lawyer suddenly gets sick just before what will be extraordinarily
00:31:03.380 embarrassing depositions. They're stalling. I think we all recognize that.
00:31:09.000 Sal, another aspect of this is very disturbing. As you know, the New York City—New York State
00:31:14.600 Democrat cabal changed the law regarding claims of sexual assault in order to allow this woman,
00:31:24.360 E. Jean Carroll, to file a suit against President Donald Trump, in which she very improbably claims
00:31:32.900 that Trump, a private citizen at the time, assaulted her in a dressing room in Bergdorf Goodman's,
00:31:40.740 which is, I think, no longer there, but was once a very upscale department store. This was in the
00:31:47.840 women's department. It's amazing that there's an episode of Law and Order that tells this exact
00:31:56.680 story prior to her making this claim. She also pointed out the exact dress that she was wearing
00:32:04.200 at the time. She said Trump assaulted her. There's only one problem. When you check with the manufacturer
00:32:09.760 of this designer dress, it hadn't even been created at the time that she said Trump assaulted her.
00:32:15.940 Well, when Trump denied that he assaulted her, she sued him again for defamation. If he did win a
00:32:22.840 judgment, of course she did. It's Manhattan, where no Republican, certainly one named Trump,
00:32:28.640 can get a fair trial. But when they changed the law to extend the period under which someone could make
00:32:38.560 these sexual assault claims, little did they know that women would come forward and say that
00:32:45.840 former Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually assaulted them and Mayor Eric Adams. I think he has two
00:32:52.240 suits where women have come forward claiming they were sexually assaulted. But he has to pay for those
00:32:58.780 personally, doesn't he, Sal? I mean, do the taxpayers of New York, are they required to pay for his
00:33:04.380 legal defense in these sexual assault cases? No, because under General Municipal Law 50K2,
00:33:12.660 unless it has to fall under the scope of your duties as a police officer, as a city employee,
00:33:18.340 and nowhere in that manual does it say that harassing somebody, sexual misconduct in general,
00:33:24.460 which falls under harassment, rape, sexual harassment, all of that is not covered by anybody
00:33:31.480 in the scope of their employment. So how is this beneficial to the taxpayers that they've been
00:33:37.140 getting charged, what, $2,000 an hour by Alex Spiro, who is Eric's attorney, who then conveniently
00:33:43.540 backed out of this case, may I add, after months of being on it and browbeating the victim. His case,
00:33:50.320 by the way, one of the cases, the one, the woman that said that she was sexually assaulted by Eric
00:33:55.920 Adams in a vehicle, is a former police aide that they clearly know each other from back in the
00:34:02.720 early 90s, late 80s. She actually worked in an area I used to work in, Coney Island. She was a
00:34:09.020 police aide, and this scarred her for her life. So they went around and browbeated this woman.
00:34:14.580 Meanwhile, she knows Eric very well. In fact, they were part of the same organization together,
00:34:19.300 the Transit Guardians. That's why she sued the New York City Police Department and the Transit
00:34:24.220 Guardians. And they were browbeating her for her deposition because she can't remember the exact
00:34:30.440 date that this happened 30 years ago, and they were trying to get you in a gotcha moment. So
00:34:34.600 Eric, you know, his lawyers are playing a dirty game, which, by the way, the taxpayers are paying
00:34:39.240 for. He's also in another lawsuit. It's a woman by the name of Dana Ratchlin. She was smeared by the
00:34:46.480 New York City Police Department, and Eric is involved in that. So he's the chief of patrol, John Schell,
00:34:51.600 Deputy Commissioner Operations, Kaz Daugry, and the chief of the department, Jeffrey Madry, who have
00:34:55.720 had numerous sexual misconduct lawsuits already. So the city, though, is illegally funding this.
00:35:03.780 There's another notch in Eric Adams' belt of misconduct, we'll say.
00:35:08.900 The swirling corruption around the Adams administration extends far beyond the mayor himself.
00:35:15.360 I read a story at the New York Post. The mayor's former police commissioner's brother was running
00:35:22.640 an extortion racket, essentially going around to nightclubs and restaurants, saying that if you
00:35:28.320 don't want problems with code enforcement or the NYPD, you're going to have to pay me.
00:35:34.520 Now you also have the case of the sheriff. The sheriff was conducting raids on these illegal pot
00:35:41.740 shops. He was collecting large sums of cash, but that cash seems to have disappeared.
00:35:49.060 Then there's the chancellor of the school board under Eric Adams. Evidently, he was taking money
00:35:55.280 from the Chinese Communist Party. No, Eric Adams is doing a bang-up job. What am I missing here,
00:36:02.340 Sal? This list just goes on and on and on.
00:36:05.100 Yeah. It's funny how all these people you're talking about are also tied into the, we call
00:36:11.440 it the Ravenite Club of the operation, which was Conso Frito in the Bronx, which was owned
00:36:16.140 by his former police commissioner's brother, Richard Caban, but on paper, because it was
00:36:22.340 managed by a mob associate and self-admitted criminal, Jimmy Rodriguez. Jimmy Rodriguez once
00:36:28.480 owned Jimmy's Bronx Cafe, which, of all people, we had people like Sean Puff Daddy Combs and
00:36:34.280 Jennifer Lopez show up numerous times to numerous places Jimmy Rodriguez owned, and also when
00:36:40.960 Hillary Clinton, who he's pictured with along with her husband, Bill Clinton, when he was
00:36:45.560 president, Jimmy Rodriguez, when originally, when Hillary Clinton ran for the Senate in New
00:36:52.400 York State, she announced it in front of Jimmy's laundromat, which happened to be under investigation,
00:36:58.040 and his partner was actually arrested by the feds, and that happens a lot. Jimmy's Bronx Cafe
00:37:03.400 had numerous arrests, so here's a guy that the police department shouldn't even be, you
00:37:08.180 know, within 100 feet unless they're investigating him, but they were all incapulated, they were
00:37:13.380 just, you know, having a grand old time over there, Conso Frito, and Jimmy is friends with
00:37:19.460 everyone you mentioned, the sheriff, Anthony Miranda, Eddie Caban, the former police commissioner,
00:37:24.640 obviously the brother that was extorting people, James Caban, the other brother, Richard Caban,
00:37:29.060 Eric Adams himself, who is pictured there numerous times. In fact, just last week, Roger, Jimmy
00:37:35.100 Rodriguez posted pictures again as if he's hanging out with everybody. The school chancellor, David
00:37:40.040 Banks, the deputy mayor at the time, he was the deputy mayor of public safety, Philip Banks, who's
00:37:46.980 also being investigated. So all these people happen to hang out in one place with the same guy who has
00:37:53.520 ties to virtually everything, from the underworld to politicians. It's just, this is the world of
00:38:00.240 Eric Adams, yet I guess we're supposed to give him a pardon. He's now a great guy. He's, quote,
00:38:05.500 woke, quote, cancel culture. That's the term they use. I don't know if it's a low information tagline,
00:38:11.960 whatever that is, but that makes him MAGA, so we have to pardon him, I guess.
00:38:15.520 Let me get this straight. Ed Caban, the police commissioner, now former police commissioner,
00:38:23.000 was pictured with Jimmy Rodriguez, a man who in the past has most definitely been involved in
00:38:30.400 criminal activity and quite reasonably can be considered to have do so again. Wouldn't that
00:38:35.880 violate the exact same regulation under which you were terminated? 100%, Roger. In fact, his place,
00:38:42.480 which is called Soffrito, had a report to the New York City Police Department, which I published,
00:38:47.960 it's been up there for months, of human trafficking. Then it was all of a sudden the investigation
00:38:54.360 vanished along with the state liquor authority investigation into what they called availing,
00:38:59.840 which is when you front somebody else to be the person on paper as the owner because you yourself
00:39:06.520 can't have a liquor license, which would be something that Jimmy would be in because every place he
00:39:12.180 has, he's never the liquor license holder, but yet everybody says that's Jimmy's place.
00:39:17.460 Clearly, he is someone who's been involved in criminal activity. He even admitted it in the New Yorker,
00:39:23.880 and I actually dive into this on my own show in one of the latest episodes. So they should not
00:39:32.000 be hanging around Jimmy Rodriguez. In fact, Jeremy Ornstein will be asked, his chief,
00:39:37.460 the internal affairs chief, Miguel Iglesias, he was at Soffrito. And how do we know? We have him
00:39:44.280 standing there with city councilman Rafael Salamanca, another character that should be
00:39:49.780 investigated for the public matching fund scandals that's going on there in New York City.
00:39:55.240 He's pictured at Soffrito. What's the chief of internal affairs doing there? Shouldn't they know
00:40:00.240 the place is under investigation, has all this mischievous activity there? Very odd how the New York City
00:40:06.220 Police Department treats things. And by the way, Roger, they actually altered that procedure after
00:40:11.880 everything that I've been through. So the criminal association now, which is even more arbitrary,
00:40:17.500 is now stating that, well, maybe this person, even though they've got associated or they've been a
00:40:23.480 criminal in the past, they could be rehabilitated. But then that argument would fall because obviously,
00:40:29.720 Roger, you were pardoned. So again, it's all arbitrary. Again, we don't know who makes up these rules
00:40:35.960 because they treat it very differently depending on who it is that they're targeting.
00:40:41.640 Sal, I must say this, my prediction for you. The next big New York Democrat in the hot seat is
00:40:47.080 Attorney General Letitia James. There's a team right now, particularly going through all of her
00:40:52.720 contributions that came in through Act Blue for her city council race and her race for Attorney General.
00:41:00.260 The level of fraud is around 70 percent, meaning the donors who she claims gave to her did not give
00:41:08.080 to her. In some cases, they don't even exist. In other places, we have sworn affidavits from them
00:41:13.220 saying, no, they never sent multiple contributions to Letitia James. It's interesting how Attorney General
00:41:21.520 James' net worth went from almost nothing to over $15 million. She's the owner of a large amount,
00:41:30.260 of real estate. But even more troubling, there are multiple complaints of her covering up sexual
00:41:38.940 assault in her own office. A woman has come forward to say that Letitia James herself was sexually
00:41:47.020 assaulted this woman. There are three other women who say that the chief of staff for Letitia James
00:41:56.300 assaulted them. One of them has filed a very substantive lawsuit. But Letitia James seeks
00:42:03.800 to keep all of these complaints sealed. In other words, complains about her own personal misconduct she
00:42:10.640 argues in court should be sealed. I don't think this is going to work, in all honesty. She's among the
00:42:18.780 most corrupt Attorney Generals in the United States. She has left a trail and everything I just said can
00:42:25.160 be and will be documented. But I raise this because, Sal, she was a regular at CanSafrito.
00:42:34.100 She was there when they were doing the straw donors. So, Letitia, I don't think you're going to have a
00:42:40.040 great Christmas, in all honesty. That's right, Ross. See, what I would suggest on top of this is that
00:42:48.500 she should have a bar complaint filed because if she's hanging around all these, we call them
00:42:53.520 unsavory characters, criminals like Fat Joe and Peter Guns and Puff Daddy and whoever else showed up
00:42:59.920 at CanSafrito, Jimmy himself, who she's also pictured with outside of CanSafrito, so they know each other
00:43:05.520 very well, then how could she be Attorney General or have the right to prosecute somebody if she's
00:43:10.980 hanging out with the very people that she convicts? So, I guess certain convicted criminals are okay
00:43:17.600 and others aren't because that's what she's trying to say because basically all the crime is, Roger,
00:43:22.500 is something that nobody can see. So, basically, as a prosecutor, she has the right to either go ahead
00:43:29.240 with a case or, you know, make it go by the wayside. So, how many times has she done that for her
00:43:34.660 friends? And what was going on at CanSafrito? Because you're right, Roger, a lot of allegations
00:43:40.840 of these fundraisers, which there's no records of, but yet you can still see the advertisements
00:43:45.840 of all the politicians that were advertising their fundraisers there, Roger. In fact, the Bronx
00:43:51.440 Democrat Party, $400,000 that they know of went missing and they had to change their books and alter
00:43:59.840 their books again because they got caught. And they were there at least four times that I could count
00:44:03.720 of. And only one was written down and it's not even written down as a party. So, a lot going on
00:44:09.280 there, Roger. A lot going on. Letitia James should answer for it. Yeah, this is going to be very,
00:44:14.740 very interesting. And we look forward to seeing those matters adjudicated. All right, Sal, you do a
00:44:21.820 great show, The Sal Greco Show. Tell folks where they can see it. Yeah, so if you go on Rumble or on
00:44:28.780 YouTube, you can type in The Sal Greco Show. Also, if you, you know, for a major podcast streaming
00:44:34.960 platform, same thing. And if you can, you can follow the show, subscribe to it, you know, share
00:44:40.220 it out with people. I try to put out a lot of information, kind of like what you hear here.
00:44:44.240 And, you know, it's basically like I'm still a police officer looking into things and giving my
00:44:49.100 perspective or maybe uncovering, you know, certain crimes that may have occurred. And I do get my
00:44:54.660 opinion here and there. Yes, you know, I am a Trump supporter. So, I do touch up on politics. Also,
00:45:01.440 High Lie, you know, stuff like that, sports. So, it's just a little bit of everything. So,
00:45:05.220 if you check it out, The Sal Greco Show on YouTube, Rumble, and every major podcast streaming platform.
00:45:11.420 All right. I want to thank my good friend, Sal Greco, for joining us today and illuminating us
00:45:15.960 about the epic criminality of Eric Adams and his chameleon-like change to become a Trump-supporting
00:45:23.220 conservative Republican overnight. Nobody's buying this, Eric. By the way, you are extremely well
00:45:28.960 dressed. But, I saw you the other day wearing a scarf that I believe goes for $6,000. I'm kind
00:45:34.800 of curious how you could afford, you know, a designer scarf that costs $6,000 on the salary of the mayor
00:45:43.660 of New York City. All right, Sal, thanks for joining us today on the show.
00:45:47.140 Thank you. God bless, Roger.
00:45:51.520 Well, the pardon of Hunter Biden brings back a false narrative that, sadly, I have to address.
00:45:59.100 As you know, in Delaware, he was charged with tax evasion. Yet, people continue to go up on X and
00:46:07.560 other social media platforms and say, well, Roger Stone and his wife evaded $2.3 million in taxes,
00:46:14.760 and they were not penalized or prosecuted. The problem with that is, of course, that it's
00:46:20.960 not true. Hunter Biden failed to report over $10 million of income. He never reported it to the
00:46:28.700 IRS. My wife and I have reported every single dime we've ever made in income since I have been an adult
00:46:37.880 in filing tax returns. Yes, I do owe the IRS $2 million from my 2006 taxes. But what they don't
00:46:48.940 tell you is that only $400,000 of that is past due taxes, and the rest is interest and penalties.
00:46:56.840 To say that I evaded taxes is laughable because for every year since 2006, 12 months a year, every year,
00:47:08.480 I have made a sizable payment to the IRS paying down my tax debt. So I didn't get a break of any kind.
00:47:17.280 When Hunter Biden's lawyers tried to make this case in federal court in Delaware that Roger Stone and
00:47:26.280 his wife were guilty of tax evasion, but they were treated differently, the judge himself said that's
00:47:32.300 apples and oranges. For those who want to go out and say that I'm guilty of tax evasion, well,
00:47:39.120 there is a very high bar on libel and slander, but I may have to sue you because it's simply not true.
00:47:47.280 I did have to get that out of the way. While we're at it, however, Judge Andrew Napolitano,
00:47:55.220 a very good friend of mine of many years, who's been on the Stone Zone and also on my 77 WABC radio
00:48:02.940 show multiple times, had an excellent analysis about whether this pardon of Hunter Biden might
00:48:11.880 open the Bidens up to new legal problems. Let's take a quick look.
00:48:17.280 Joe shot himself. Joe shot himself in the foot with the pardon. Here's why. If the son, Hunter,
00:48:25.840 were dragged before the House Oversight Committee last week and asked, did you funnel money to your
00:48:32.860 father from Burisma while he was vice president of the United States? His answer, I declined to answer
00:48:38.560 the rights accorded to me by the Fifth Amendment. If you asked him that question today, he has no Fifth
00:48:46.820 Amendment rights. By accepting the pardon, he gave up his Fifth Amendment rights and he would be forced
00:48:52.660 to answer that question no matter who is inculpated. What the hell crap does Chris Hines and Hunter Biden
00:49:00.760 know about energy? But they're on the Board of Directors. Right. And they made millions of dollars
00:49:08.740 sitting on the Board of Directors. It's a crime syndicate. Well, that crime syndicate
00:49:17.180 cannot be prosecuted because the statute of limitations has run, but it can be exposed
00:49:25.100 and Hunter can be the instrument of the exposure. Now, if he if he asserts a Fifth Amendment right
00:49:31.000 now, they'll take him before a federal judge will order him to answer. And if he still persists in
00:49:35.920 not answering, he'll be incarcerated for up to two years. An incarceration that is not pardonable.
00:49:42.860 Excellent analysis. Now, I'm very familiar with this because after I received a full and unconditional
00:49:51.040 presidential pardon, which, by the way, is very hard to find that when you go online, you can find many
00:49:57.080 stories about the president commuting my sentence. But, well, they seem to have a willful effort to bury
00:50:05.360 that point. Piece in the Politico by a man named Nick Reisman about the surging campaign of Anthony
00:50:13.260 Constantino. He is the dynamic businessman from upstate New York who has announced his intention
00:50:19.940 to seek the seat that is being vacated by Elise Stefanik. That special election date has not yet been
00:50:28.620 set and won't be set until the seat is officially vacated. And that would be when the president said
00:50:35.340 the nomination of Stefanik to the Senate for confirmation. By the way, I think the appointment
00:50:42.180 of Elise Stefanik is among President Trump's absolute best appointments. But in that story,
00:50:50.640 it says that I am supporting Constantino, which I am because he's a very good guy. You remember him.
00:50:58.520 He's the guy who put the sign on top of his factory in Amsterdam, New York, giant sign that said,
00:51:04.940 vote for Trump. And then the Democrat mayor of Amsterdam threatened to have him arrested and jailed if
00:51:14.060 he would not take the sign down. It's a First Amendment right. The mayor actually argued that
00:51:20.840 the sign was a public safety hazard because people might be distracted by it if they drove by his
00:51:27.920 factory. This shows that liberalism is a mental disease. Fortunately, the courts intervened. And
00:51:36.720 because Anthony Constantino had an excellent lawyer, that did not happen. But he stood tall for free
00:51:46.160 speech. Prior to this, Anthony Constantino had never really been involved in politics, but he had built a
00:51:52.640 multi-million dollar successful online printing company, StickerMule.com. StickerMule.com. Urge you
00:52:01.840 to check them out. And now he's taken the plunge to seek this seat in Congress so he can stand up for
00:52:10.000 President Donald Trump's agenda. Anyway, in this Politico story, it mentions that my sentence was
00:52:16.560 commuted raises the ridiculous question about whether my support might be problematic for Mr.
00:52:24.880 Constantino. A poll among Republican primary voters showed that I have a 79% approval rating. I think most
00:52:34.720 Americans know that I was charged in a politically motivated case. And the judge in my case withheld
00:52:42.800 exculpatory evidence from my defense attorneys that would have proved my innocence. Most people who
00:52:49.680 followed this case know that there was no Russian collusion for me to lie about. There was no WikiLeaks
00:52:56.240 collaboration for me to lie about. In fact, Robert Mueller was forced to admit in the final report, which
00:53:05.040 the lawyers for BuzzFeed had to fight to get disgorged by the Department of Justice, that in fact, he'd found no
00:53:12.160 other crime on my part. So Andrew Weissman, whose turn in the barrel is coming, my friends, perhaps the
00:53:19.840 most epic prosecutor in U.S. history along a line of prosecutorial misconduct covering up mob murders
00:53:28.640 when he was assistant DA in Brooklyn. The man who destroyed the Enron Company, destroyed Arthur Anderson,
00:53:38.240 destroyed a number of executives at Merrill Lynch, unanimously reversed by the Supreme Court in all
00:53:46.240 of those cases, and tongue-lashed for prosecutorial misconduct. This is the Andrew Weissman who destroyed
00:53:54.320 the cell phone memories of the cell phones of Robert Mueller's thug prosecutors when he knew that they
00:54:02.160 had been subpoenaed by special counsel John Durham. That's called destruction of evidence and obstruction
00:54:10.400 of justice. No, I think that Mr. Weissman is probably not going to have a great holiday because his criminal
00:54:19.280 activities are coming to the fore. Let's continue with the news of the day. Pete Hegseth, who's the
00:54:29.440 president's nominee for secretary of defense, is being subjected to what we call the full Brett Kavanaugh,
00:54:37.280 a campaign of smear and innuendo. The permanent establishment is petrified of fact that this
00:54:46.080 decorated combat veteran might actually return our military forces to being a lethal fighting force.
00:54:56.320 Between mandatory vaccinations and the crazy DEI policies of the Biden and Obama administrations,
00:55:05.360 our military is in terrible shape. People I respect, like Colonel Douglas McGregor,
00:55:11.760 or General Michael Flynn, Colonel John Mills and others, tell me that they seriously doubt that our
00:55:21.840 military could wage a two-theater war. They're not even sure we could successfully wage a one-theater war.
00:55:29.840 And of course, we also ship billions of dollars and equipment to Ukraine, equipment that is now,
00:55:36.400 of course, not available to us. The media is clamoring for Pete Hegseth's skin,
00:55:43.840 but he refuses to give it to them. This guy is a tough guy. He's not going to back down.
00:55:48.720 Let's take a quick look at Pete Hegseth answering questions about this effort to destroy his character.
00:55:56.560 The process to go through and meet with senators and talk to them, especially members of the Senate
00:56:00.160 Armed Services Committee, whose passion is the Defense Department and our warfighters,
00:56:04.720 to hear what they want to do to make sure that department is properly oriented for the threats
00:56:09.280 of the world and make sure that we're putting the warfighters first. That's what Donald Trump
00:56:14.000 asked me to do. Your job is to bring a warfighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Your job is to make sure
00:56:19.840 that it's lethality, lethality, lethality. Everything else is gone. Everything else that
00:56:24.880 distracts from that shouldn't be happening. That's the message I'm hearing from senators in that
00:56:29.520 advise and consent process. It's been a wonderful process.
00:56:33.680 The other appointment here that I think is probably the most pivotal and important one is that of
00:56:40.080 Kash Patel to be the FBI director. It's kind of funny to watch disgraced former deputy FBI director
00:56:49.200 Andrew McCabe, a man who was never even a station chief in the FBI before being elevated to the
00:56:56.080 assistant director or deputy director position, a position which for which he was completely
00:57:01.520 unqualified, criticizing the qualifications of Kash Patel, who was a government intelligence
00:57:08.160 prosecutor who prosecuted over 50 intelligence cases, former acting, pardon me, former chief of
00:57:15.520 staff for the acting director, pardon me, secretary of defense. That's the man running the defense
00:57:22.000 department, former chief counsel of the House Intelligence Committee. He's the man who conducted
00:57:28.480 the House committee investigation into Russian collusion. That's why his appointment strikes
00:57:35.120 fear into the hearts of people like John Brennan, James Comey, Susan Rice, and then Vice President Joe Biden,
00:57:43.920 because, well, Kash Patel knows what they did and he knows when they did it and he can document that.
00:57:50.160 No, my friends, it is not revenge. It is not retaliation. It is a rebalancing of the scales
00:57:57.680 of justice. One system where, for example, if General James Clapper goes before the Congress and says
00:58:05.920 that there is no metadata collection program on American citizens, which Edward Snowden proved was a
00:58:13.840 lie, well then, General Clapper should be prosecuted. You see, I was prosecuted for making misstatements to
00:58:21.040 Congress, but in truth, to violate the false statement law, your comment has to be both willful,
00:58:28.720 but more importantly, it has to be material. In other words, it has to be covering up some other
00:58:34.720 crime. In this case, the illegal collection of data on individual Americans, which General Clapper
00:58:42.240 denied happened. Clapper wasn't prosecuted. Instead, he went to Vermont College where he teaches ethics.
00:58:50.720 How about that? Also has a great gig at CNN, which means people in airports all over America get to see
00:58:57.520 him, but not many other people. All right, I think we've run out of time for today. I want to thank you
