Transcripts
Donald Trump claims to have the nearly
$500 million he needs to cover the bond
in his New York civil fraud case but
whether he will actually pay that by the
Monday deadline is still up in the air
we now have an update on former
president Trump's appeal against his New
York civil fraud verdict Donald Trump
took to truth social yesterday to slam
the massive Bond warning in quot in part
quote numerous businesses have ended
plans to relocate into New York because
of the fabricated Witch Hunt against me
they see what is going on and want no
part of it Kevin o joining us from South
Florida Kevin good morning to you thank
you so much you know we've been talking
about fairness and due process and stuff
like that the average person doesn't
understand the trial that he went
through where he was found liable for
half a billion dollars because people
don't understand valuations and stuff
like that dealing with banks how do you
explain it to people what happened so I
tell people this is no longer anything
to do with Donald Trump whatsoever uh
this is very concerning to what you
think of the as the American brand the
reason we're the number one economy on
Earth is we provide stability in
financial markets through transparency a
pellet systems in court guarantee of law
property rights and here is a a
situation which is getting focused all
around the world of a particular case
does not matter that it's Donald Trump
where an individual has had against an
infraction an unduly high penalty many
people feel that on a bipartisan basis
probably infringed on the eth amendment
has not been tested yet and that is
where the problem lies most of us that
are investors in financial services want
the process to continue and get an
appell at court involved here for a
second set of eyes the way I view this
and the way it's viewed internationally
is this was like dress up court with
kids running some kind of a Halloween
party with no adult supervision we need
the adults now we need the adults to
look at this uh New York needs to
restore its greatness but it's not it's
on a downward slide and I don't
understand why the governor and why a
judge would make this decision uh you
know New York uh Troopers you know going
into Trump uh Tower the protesters have
been uh they've been dispersed by the
police the police are here they are
making sure that the trucks can gain
entry and also leave they started
blocking the roads preventing delivery
trucks from entering to pick up for
delivery around 1:00 this morning New
York City's shut down and the road to
economic recovery has been Rocky on the
left Time Square is deserted experts say
larger denser urban areas that rely on
office and Tech workers continue to
struggle so we zoomed in on Lower
Manhattan I don't want to come back it's
sad to see that a lot of the shops have
closed um it looks a lot different than
it used to but the Washington Post
claims bankruptcy might be the way out
meanwhile Donald Trump took to truth
social yesterday to slam the massive
Bond warning in quote in part quote
numerous businesses have ended plans to
relocate into New York because of the
fabricated Witch Hunt against me they
see what is going on and want no part of
it they're nashing their teeth Tish
James at seizing properties and people
in the Press are applauding they're
giggling this is
bloodthirsty okay now you're talking
you're right this is hurting the
American brand what's going on in New
York is it has nothing to do with Trump
that case is over what's going on now is
concerning financial markets all around
the world because in the United States
and everybody what I don't care what
color you are red or blue or independent
doesn't matter we are the Bastion of
safety when it comes to investing large
pools of capital that's what America
represents we have property rights we
have an appell system we have law people
trust and we give you good returns with
the least amount of resistance and
what's happening in New York is tainting
the American brand I mean seizing assets
after 22 days in a bankruptcy court you
get years to resolve this this is not a
good look on New York it doesn't matter
that's trump it could be anybody I think
that's very bad for the American brand
and I also would argue that you think
about if this is going to help New
Yorkers they should be asking for better
management I'm very disturbed and the
way I look at it and I speak to many
institutional Capital fronts including
Sovereign wealth cuz I'm trying to buy
Tik Tok right now so I'm running all
around the world trying to raise 3040
billion do and they all ask me the same
thing we're watching this New York thing
play out it looks to everybody like it
was some dress up court day when the
parents were out and everybody got
dressed up in in robes and had fun
acting out some court trial when are the
adults coming back into this there are
no adults yet Kevin o well he is
slamming New York attorney general the
Tia James and her lawsuit against Donald
Trump watch this should think well past
Trump whether he's president or not or
whether this attorney general is gone in
four years or not it's irrelevant this
is case setting against the American
brand this is an attack on America and
and I don't know how you can look at it
any other way we need an adult in the
room now this is the United States of
America under siege Congressman Russell
fry republican from South Carolina joins
me now Congressman do you go that far is
America under
siege oh I think absolutely it is you
look you look at New York New York is
the poster child for bad governance I
mean Leticia James got elected to go
after Trump not to enforce the rules on
criminals on the streets or in the
Subways of New York but to go after
Donald Trump that's what she's done and
here you've got no agreed party you've
got no money that's been lost under this
alleged fraud scheme but she is acting
like the country of Venezuela in
pursuing it and it is no wonder that
people are fleeing New York in record
numbers businesses are leaving and
they're coming to the sunny shores of
South Carolina she is the poster child
for why people are fleeing these states
uh I may have got my Constitution wrong
but as I understand it the Eighth
Amendment says no cruel or unusual
punishment and no large fines or outrage
excessive fines I would think that the
$454 million is an excessive fine making
it unconstitutional what say you
I think I think you're exactly right and
I think uh you know hopefully with the
appell it process the courts see reason
here uh where the New York courts have
thus far not done that uh you take a
case and again there is no grieved party
nobody was wrong nobody was harmed in
any Financial way and the jury Awards
this ridiculous verdict um and at the
end they can't it's so large that they
can't even get a bond uh to secure it
and so it is unconscionable that we're
even here but I think the eth amendment
is certainly in play AG Bailey has a
fellow AG how blatantly and absolutely
wrong are these actions by Laticia
James this is a gross miscarriage of
Justice remember this was a fraud trial
the only fraud here is that AG Leticia
James is masquerading as a competent
attorney look at some of her pleadings
there's no reference to case law and why
is that it's because there's no legal
Authority for what she's doing let's
remember this was a civil fraud trial
where the claim was that Banks gave
loans to president Trump based on
misrepresentation and yet Leticia James
isn't going after those banks for
failing to do their due diligence uh
when providing those loans the only
reason they provided those loans in fact
was because president Trump is a
brilliant businessman who was enormously
successful and made tons of money for
these Banks and every other investor and
Leticia James hates that she hates his
success and so she's weaponized the
justice system against him and it's it's
terrible for all Americans it's a it
undermines due process and undermines
the rule of law let's face it she
campaigned on going after Trump she's
going after Trump all while real crime
is running rampant in New York state so
what arguments do you make in support of
trump in your filings with the court and
what arguments should Trump make to
prevent what amounts to a stealing of
his life's work from
happening well that's exactly what's
going on this is just a theft by the
state of New York at the at Leticia
James direction of property owned by the
president and remember this is property
that he obtained legitimately through
his business Acumen but I think it's
important to remember that the appeal
bond is intended to prevent a losing
party in a lawsuit from taking their
money and fleeing and yet the assets
she's trying to seize here are immovable
those assets will be there after the
appeal is completed so there's no need
to race through this process of seizing
property but also I would point out that
the whole purpose of a bond and the
whole P purpose of a judgment at the end
of a Civil Trial is to make a party
whole well when you have no victim
because everybody who did business with
president president Trump as part of
these transactions made money there's no
one to make H so again there's no need
there's no legal justification to seize
this property also on the fleeing
argument the job that Trump's going for
is in Washington DC kind of TR tough to
flee the country and be president so
that completely blows that line of
thinking out of the water if I'm sitting
here watching this I know Trump's a a
lightning rod for controversy but I'm
wondering what can happen to me so can
our legal system survive if targeted
prosecution and enforcement like this is
allowed to
stand no this kind of Witch Hunt against
President Trump is really just the tip
of the iceberg and I would warn all
anyone doing business in the state of
New York I would invite president Trump
to move to Missouri we're open for
business we'd love to have him here and
folks that are doing business in New
York need to be advised that the
Attorney General of New York will
weaponize the justice system and contri
facts and law in order to take them down
if they don't ascribe to her ideological
bent there also the notion of what is
latia James know about running a golf
course I haven't looked at the names on
the lockers at Trump Westchester I can
tell you not a lot of people are going
to be too primed for Club Pro Leticia
James they're probably going to cancel
their membership attorney general
Leticia James could move swiftly on
former president Trump's bank accounts
and real estate if the former president
doesn't put up that massive $454 million
or get a bond for the Civil fraud
judgment James won against him Trump's
30-day deadline to post a bond or
deposit to block James from collecting
his assets while he appeals uh the
verdict arrives on Monday now if the New
York AG gets her way Trump could lose
his world famous Trump Tower or she
could pick any of these look at all of
them yeah including maral Lago anything
International any of his golf clubs she
could choose to pick whatever she wants
yeah that's right uh breaking news today
on this potentially she is looking at
properties up in Westchester here but
joining us now to discuss attorney and
former Georgia Congressman Doug Collins
plus former senior adviser and SBA
advocate for the Trump White House Bruce
level gentlemen thanks for coming on
Bruce we're going to start with you here
uh just your thoughts on will Laticia
James actually begin to seize his
property now I know her her team has
kind of put out statement she doesn't
want to see a fire cell but boy if you
go on her actions leading up to this
point it seems like she really wants to
bankrupt go after the former president
here what say you well I'm heing in
Georgia and I have to say reminds me
kind of like what happened similar in
2008 when uh we've had the banks that
failed in some of these uh institutions
weaponized uh the taxpayers money to
call loans Etc I think brother Doug
knows a lot about that what happened in
Georgia but listen it's just like what
Kevin oy said on CNBC and many
courageous other business people you had
a bank that testified that were made
whole and said hey we're good
everything's fine what's going on and
and and the fact that there were those
disclaimers in that contract and they're
totally ignoring that and ladies and
gentlemen once again if you know this
could happen to any of us right and this
is a total miscarriage of Justice on
President Trump and this could be like
Kevin o said on Shark Tank he's like
look what does this say to other
business people and business people
you're watching in New York City yeah
you're right don't challenge the system
or we might come after you what that's
exactly big big red flag here uh Doug
want to get to this uh a Donald Trump
joint fundraising committee sent out a
message saying quote keep your filthy
hands off of Trump Tower before going on
to ask for donations from 1 million of
his supporters to keep the former
president from potentially losing his
New York properties to quote insane
radical Democrat AG Leticia James
unquote also Doug I want to bring in
your legal expertise here wouldn't the
Eighth Amendment be able to protect the
former president for something like this
he's cruel and usual extreme bail
require or Bond
requirements well I mean yes it could I
guess if you had a court it would
determine this would be extreme but
again you got to get to that Court uh
case to do it on the appell it side of
this and and bring up that issue as a as
a problem uh again that's a whole
different legal action is composed to
what is actually happening here in this
case um in reality what they're doing
again is Leticia James is is furthering
the calls that this is uh is basically
as Bruce alluded to this is an attack on
Donald Trump it was that's all it is and
now she's just continuing to make the
case that it is about getting Donald
Trump it's not about justice justice is
about getting something writing a wrong
there was no wrong here and Donald Trump
is being uh prosecuted for it because
she said she would so you you know the
first question you ask is are is she
probably going to go after assets yes
the qu answer would be yes she's going
to go after these assets because it
fulfills her plan so the the president
former president is in a position right
now to where he has to either find that
bond which is almost too excessive
because nobody can underwrite those uh
those kind of bonds so we'll just see
how it goes from here but it is it's a
it's a uh it's a pretty tense time right
now for the Trump campaign yeah Donald
Trump claims to have the nearly $500
million he needs to cover the bond in
his New York civil fraud case but
whether he will actually pay that by the
Monday deadline is still up in the air
there's a difference between having 500
million in cash and being able to Fork
over all that cash for this Bond more on
that in a second something else happened
today as well Trump's company truth
social is about to go public after a
merger deal was agreed on his shares
will be worth about $3 billion however
that money may not be that easy to
access either just days after Donald
Trump's attorneys filed court documents
claiming it was a practical
impossibility for him to secure funding
for the nearly 500 million doll bond
that he owes following his loss in the
Civil fraud case the former president
took to truth social I currently have
almost $500 million in cash he wrote
this morning the fact that he has the
cash doesn't mean that he can put it all
up to satisfy the bond he needs cash to
run his business to pay payroll and
things like that see Trump must pay that
bond by Monday or else he runs the risk
of Attorney General Leticia James
seizing his property and she's already
filed paperwork in Westchester County to
begin the process of seizing Trump's
golf course and private estate at Seven
Springs the reason is that it's less
dramatic right Chris to go in to um the
golf course uh than it is to go into
Trump Tower I think Trump would actually
like the Optics politically um of uh you
know New York uh Troopers you know going
into Trump uh Tower but Trump's truth
social post this morning came around the
same time we learned that truth social
would soon become a publicly traded
company Trump will own a dominant stake
in the company and his shares could be
worth an estimated $3
billion however accessing those funds
before six months time would not be
possible due to what's called a Lockup
in the deal a lockup is where there are
restrictions on the ability to transfer
or pledge the shares or otherwise
dispose of them except in very limited
circumstances Charles Whitehead is a law
professor at Cornell specializing in
corporate and securities if he were to
now try to amend the lockup to be able
to walk away that would be pretty
deceptive now truth social actually has
lost about 39% of its active users
year-over-year and there are experts out
there today who believe the market is
drastically overvaluing this IPO calling
the stock price a bubble
