Transcripts
now to the potential trucker protest
Governor Kathy hokel is warning drivers
take precautions heed the warnings so
we're getting the warning out early so
all the truckers and trucker
associations can get the word out as
well is a ban on tandem trucks and
tractor
trailers the very high likelihood that
there are going to be protests that's
because we've seen hundreds of protests
in New York City already the New York
Times reports several major investment
firms are leaving thank God for truck
what could this boycott do to prices not
just in New York but for all of us
across the country if the city breaks
this for an influx of truckers the
sudden push for preparedness has stores
rushing to replenish there are fences up
there are police officers on horse back
and they're going to have a security
perimeter that stretches for several
Avenues here and this is because of the
two factors the two issues that you sort
of alluded to right there the first
is yes so you show me the man I'll show
you the crime that was a famous saying
from Stalin's chief of police that's how
the prosecutorial system is now working
against Donald Trump today Not only was
this not a victimless crime Sean you
want to think about the people who did
business with Donald Trump they made
money off of those interactions not just
average consumers but financial
institutions so for for her to bring
this case I think is a legal and
unconstitutional violation and when
that's overturned on appeal she's now
talking about seizing Trump's residences
in real estate properties I want to know
what property of Leticia James is going
to be seized when this is overturned on
appeal for the damage this is doing to
our country and to trust in the standard
of the rule of law in the United States
of America we need accountability when
this is overturned on appeal but for now
I'll say this is a travesty of justice
and this should not happen in the United
States of America legal hits keep on
coming for Donald Trump and the world is
waking up to the full Banana Republic
nature of the Judgment handed down
against the former president in New York
City last week the corrupt persecution
by this regime will not stop with me oh
it's not going to stop with me I mean
they they gave me a fine of
$355 million for doing nothing wrong
this was a fine like never seen before
and you know the amazing thing the
Republic
this the people in this country they
understood it immediately it's all a big
hoax if I wasn't running I wouldn't have
been sued none of these indictments
would happen how much is this just the
Democrats utterly weaponizing the
justice system to punish Donald
Trump well it's unparalleled and
unprecedented uh this statute has never
been used in this way in the history of
the state of New York no comparable
statute has been used in this way in the
entire country no case like this has
ever been pursued against a leading
political opponent of the presidential
candidate or anybody for that matter
I've been indicted more than some of the
greatest criminals in the world for
nothing for nothing if I if my
plane flies over a blue
state that evening I get a subpoena to
report to a Federal
grand so we're we are in unparalleled
Waters and consequently what we're
witnessing is we're seeing a lot of
blowback from the business Community the
real estate Community the investment
Community saying that they will not do
business in New York as long as cases
like this are even capable because here
there was this is extraordinary because
there was simply no victim the only
alleged victim the banks testified on
behalf of President Trump said that they
would not only do the deal again they
were glad they did it the first time
that it was an extraordinarily
profitable deal for them to even be in
business with Trump but of course Trump
paid back every penny nickel diamond
last week former president Trump was
slapped with a $354 million judgment
plus interest that compounds every day
in his civil fraud case in New York the
case brought by State Attorney General
Leticia James in an interview with ABC
News James warning Trump to pay up we
are prepared to make sure that the
judgment is paid to New Yorkers can you
explain that to me what has happened to
this great Constitution Republic that is
supposed to be you know governed by
Equal justice under the law and equal
application of our laws every Americans
should fear this regardless of where
they stand politically that's what I
believe this isn't the American dream
this is the American Nightmare and this
is not even about Donald Trump it's
about every other American at home who's
now at risk of prosecutorial abuse as
well I think one of the great things
that happened for this country was in
the last week seeing Fanny Willis
actually test ify in that case Sean
there the American public was able to
see be these are the people who are
actually pursuing these cases against
Donald Trump people have no idea about
basic geography or the basic idea or the
understanding of the law as well these
are not the people that are founding
fathers and vision should be in charge
of let alone Prosecuting a former
president of the United States and
somebody who's running for president of
the United States they're rolling over
in their graves we're supposed to be a
country where regardless of your skin
color and yes regardless of your
political belief there is one standard
of the rule of law in the United States
of America and I'm grateful that Donald
Trump is standing strong that he's
actually said it beautifully the other
night actually on Fox on the at the Town
Hall he said it you know what my
Vengeance will be success will be my
Vengeance there's a trap to try to bait
somebody to come after them in so many
different directions that you get them
to crumble or to make a mistake I'm glad
to see him going in the other direction
to say that you know what we're going to
chase success success is unifying
success ass is how we win and you know
what I have full confidence that that's
exactly what's going to happen this
November even though they've created a
complicated path to get there the
Attorney General saying if Trump does
not have the money to pay off his
judgment she will go after some of his
real estate properties including the
skyscraper at 40 Wall Street I look at
40 Wall Street each and every day and we
will ask the judge to seize his assets
she will not succeed in that effort
commercial litigation and bankruptcy
lawyer Jacobs says AG James has to get
in a long line of others before she
might ever see a dime from Trump's
properties number one is the other lean
holders Equity holders judgment lean
holders taxes New York City New York
State the list goes on and on and on
which he says would take years and as
has been reported many times Trump does
not own every building bearing his name
Trump is known for licensing his name to
other Developers and circling back to
his recent civil fraud trial in New York
Trump has denied any wrongdoing and says
he will appeal and now you have a court
trying to limit his ability to challenge
this at the appellant level by requiring
he post bond of the full amount pending
appeal but that he do so in a manner
that does not take into consideration
the full value of his Properties or by
borrowing from someone else or by
operating in New York and so this is ex
extraordinary we haven't seen anything
like this frankly we haven't seen
anything like this in the whole world in
a long time and that's why it's so
terrifying and then Robert this is the
thing that really concerns me and this
is what I always tell people you know it
shouldn't matter whether or not you like
Trump or think he's the worst human
being ever to live the fact of the
matter is today they're going after
Donald Trump using the law tomorrow it
could be some other person or somebody
else who or you who doesn't tow the line
in whatever the kind of political regime
of the day you're going to see
businesses fleeing New York right New
York has become a legal Banana Republic
congratulations are you happy with the
investment they're all gone well some of
President Trump's supporters are pushing
back against what they see as an unfair
justice system threatening a boycott
that could have a major impact on the
country's largest city heard that there
were going to be 700,000 truck drivers
protesting they work hard they work long
nobody works harder actually I know a
lot about Trucking I know a lot about
Truckers and I know plenty of truckers
they're great people ridiculous claims
and ultimately the judgment is
untethered to any number no there was no
victim no Bank was lost any money no
insurance company uh was out anything
and so you know this judge just picked
the number out of the air hoping to
punish Trump the Trump organizations the
Trump children and others in the Trump
organization and and I think it just is
you know it's it's disappointing but you
know the other thing that's going to
happen here Rachel is you're going to
see businesses fleeing New York just
like Elon Musk left left Delaware you're
going to see these businesses leave well
the truckers in New York where he was
sued this time have decided Well where
with Trump so we're not bringing any
goods to New York anymore stuff you guys
what was wild to me though is that you
know you've got all these New York
liberals cheering going yeah yeah yeah
we got Trump but you know having been in
New York about 6 months ago I can tell
you the economy doesn't need this sort
of chasing out of of successful
businesses um people I talked to are
saying that it's a Witch Hunt and in New
York people are now saying I'm not sure
I want to go and uh invest in a place
like this just have a listen to this
guy New York was already a loser State
like California is a loser State there
are many loser States because of policy
high taxes uncompetitive regulation it
was already on the top of the list of
being loser State I would never invest
in New York now and I'm not the only
person saying that why should I do
business here when there are so many
more business-friendly states that I
could do business in Florida in Texas
for example we've seen Elon Musk make
that historic move so I think people are
looking at New York and saying unless
you do something to change the vibe here
to turn this environment around not for
me this strikes me as just a complete
own goal here for New York that they're
going to chase competitive businesses
even further out of their High taxing
High regulation jurisdiction just so
they can say hey we the guys who got
Trump that's precisely what's going to
happen uh conservative estimates is that
this case is going to cost the state of
New york1 billion doll or more in direct
investment over the next 10 years
because New York's one of its principal
areas of investment is real estate and
now you've taken one of its most
successful one of its most prominent
people a person who helped Revitalize
New York real estate downtown New York
York was not a place to invest until
Donald Trump was able to convert certain
buildings into successful properties
that attracted investment worldwide uh
all over the world and if if if you're
anywhere in the world do you want to
risk your money or your assets in a
legal system that could steal all of
your property deny you a right to appeal
based on nobody suffering any harm of
any kind nobody wants to do that I mean
what made America a great place for the
whole world to invest was the stability
and reliability and transparency and
impartiality of our legal system and
they've jeopardized all of it in the
name of getting rid of trump and by
trying to hurt Trump all they've really
done is hurt New York hurt America hurt
The credibility of our legal system why
would we go to New York why take the
risk my only point is did we just
diminish the great state of New York and
the great people of New York and
shouldn't they ask for better management
so they don't become a flyover State
remember New York has the highest tax
taxes in the country the worst
regulatory environment and it's
incredibly mismanaged and I'm pointing
out now on top of that you get this
Insanity a a victimless crime and forget
about Trump it's not about Trump I don't
care about Trump in this I care about
America and I care about
entrepreneurship and I care about
democracy and the fairness the judicial
system is now being criticized people
are asking themselves the bar of New
York is this judge rational to charge
355 million in a case where no one lost
any money is that good for the people of
New York should the people of New York
wake up to this and say what's happening
to us why is this becoming so perverse
why are we the focus of this Injustice
and nothing to do with Trump I'm not
supporting Trump I'm supporting American
entrepreneurship and New York is slowly
becoming the number one loser state in
America
I'm sorry that's what's happening I want
to put up my hand and ask governor who's
next who are you going after next you
want your hand up for that Kevin put
your hand down if that's the question
what do you mean every every
entrepreneur in New York is saying am I
next Who's Next let's penalize all the
developers all across America they've
all done the same thing all of them
should go to jail and we should stop
building buildings that's what the
message is from New York even the
governor herself is concerned about what
this looks like to investors all around
the world it's not just us domestic all
around the world people are talking
about what happened here thank you very
much this is getting wild because Texas
is still trucking illegal aliens into
New York like it's a thriving business
the truckers are like well we're not
bringing Goods anymore so you've got no
Goods coming in Via these trucks is and
you've got piles of illegal immigrants
just still like hey you guys you guys
vote them here you love this kind of
thing you're a sanctuary City on you go
then more migrants for you it's it's
creating the most uh volatile situation
right under our nose New York was
already a loser State I would never
invest in New York now and I'm not the
only person saying that I have to
Syndicate that debt and all that Equity
we're talking billions of dollars here
do you think any foreign institution or
any private Equity Firm or any pension
fund would touch New York no and that's
why New Yorkers should be concerned the
fine people of New York should ask
themselves why are we such a loser State
how are we going to attract business
it's not just the existing businesses
that are fleeing out to Texas and
Florida what about new money like this
that I'm talking about like a $4 billion
data center not a chance I would put
that in New York York zero probability
never and so they've got a lot of work
to do to find themselves getting out of
this situation winner States versus
loser States look at Tennessee right now
fastest growing city in America
Nashville winner State good policy
competitive taxes you've got to start
thinking about this in the context of
winners and losers New York Mega loser
state New York has become a legal Banana
Republic but before I even arrive at the
Oval Office I will
when the presidency I will be doing
things that will be amazing why should I
do business here when there are so many
more business-friendly states that I
could do business in Florida in Texas
for example we've seen Elon Musk make
that historic move so I think people are
looking at New York and saying unless
you do something to change the vibe here
to turn this environment around not for
me truckers for Trump is is trending
right now heard that there were going to
be 700,000 truck drivers protesting 3
million uh three and a half million
drivers employed in 2022 that sounds
about right to you that's correct
somewhere in there okay um I I look at
that number that's a big number Craig
and we deal with politics here uh in
this town and on this show do do you
have a sense from within your industry
because I know this this truckers for
Trump is is trending right now some
truck drivers say they're planning on

shipments to and from New York City some
of these truckers saying you know what
we we're not going into New York because
of what happened to Donald Trump if I'm
just anybody living in New York and I
see see that headline and you hear what
that that woman said off the top of the
show uh should they be
concerned Dre what could this boycott do
to prices not just in New York but for
all of us across the
country well certainly if truck drivers
were to boycott New York City the impact
has the potential to be very damaging
and very quickly we're talking about
supermarkets big box stores and other
businesses that rely heavily on trucking
they would fill the pinch and so would
their customers about 90% of communities
here in New York City rely heavily on
trucking to move their goods this
morning we're on the Jersey side of the
George Washington Bridge and every day
you can see hundreds if not thousands of
trucks crossing the bridge from Jersey
into the city meanwhile one man is now
telling truck drivers not to come to New
York City after former president Trump
was hit with that massive multi-million
dollar fine last week it's a sad thing
it's a sad day for New York they really
do look I love this city and I love this
state they have to focus on violent
crime that taking place outside I look

post on X formerly Twitter had garnered
more than 6 million views and 60,000
likes former president Trump also caught
win of what Chicago Ray is doing and
reposted Ray's video on his platform
truth social but it's hard to ascertain
exactly how many drivers are answering
his call and what kind of impact it may
have it's not an organized effort and
the drivers expressing support for
Chicago Ray they're scattered all across
the country we did reach out to the
Teamsters Union the union representing
