woo-hoo? that's all for tonight. i am ♪ ♪
9:01 pm
>> welcome to "hannity" this friday night. so many of our institutions are collapsing before our eyes. it'syes, really scary. earlier today, trump-hitting new york judge delivered his verdict in the civil fraud trial. actually he had summary judgment at the very beginning. no need for a jury, you're guilty. let' s just go to the penaltyph phase. anyway, he ordered president trump to pay more than $350 million, barring him from serving as an officer or director of a new yorkorpo corporation for three years. imagine a a judge, he just gotte canceled in the state for three. years. wow. he didn't stop there. t he also banned trump for thref years for applying for loans from any financial institutions arethat are registered with new york,, ordered that eric trump and donald trump jr. pay fines of more thanre $4 million each, and banned them from serving as officers or directors of any new york corporation or legal activity
9:02 pm
for two years. per trump's legal spokespersonis reacted saying, "this version tu mike verdict is thste culminatin s of a multi-year politically fueled witch hunt designed toan take down donald trump." she will join us in just a moment. trump reacted on truth social earlier today railing against the attorney general of new york, letitia james, and the judge before calling the trialnd "election interference and a witch hunt." the on x, the platform formerly known as twitter,ld donald trump jr. said this in part.w "we have now reached the pointit icwhere your political beliefs combined with the venue your case is heard are the primary determinants of the outcome, not the facts of the case. sadly, that's 100% true in our country tonight.ru mpearlier tonight, trump spoke briefly on today's ruling outside of mar-a-lago in palm beach, florida. take a mee look.
9:03 pm
>> it's a very sad day for, and my opinion, the country. a new york state judge just c ruled, and he's cricket as you can get an peo , and a lot of people expected r something like this, but this is a very dishonest man, who's been overturned already on this case. bujut a crooked new york state judge just ruled i have to pay a fine of $355 million for having built a perfect company. he ruled against me before heev even got the case. he really gets me and said i was guilty, he didn't even know i was guilty of before he got the case. letitia james, that's anotherete case altogether. she's a horribly corrupt attorney general and it's allh having to doel with election interference. >> sean: every american should be concerned tonight.ig it'sht far-reaching, far-fetchet casehe is nothing but further t weaponization of justice in our country, the u.s. of a., designed to get trump by any means necessary. this was brought by the radicalo
9:04 pm
new york attorney general, letitia james, who based her entire campaign on taking down one family, one organization, one man: donald trump, the trump organization, the trump family. shed te claimed trump committed financial fraud by inflating the values of his assets. in the end, she was fulfilling a campaign promise to destroy trump. take apr look. this will refresh your memory. >> i'll never be afraid to challenge this illegitimateim president when our fundamental atidenrights are at stake. the president of the united states can be indicted for criminal offenses. >> he's going to know my name my name. >> yes, we need to focus on donald trump and his abuses. we need to follow his money. n we need to find out where he is laundering money.we we need to find out whether or not he has engaged in conspiracy. t's >> it's important everyone understand the days ofunde donald trump are coming to an an e >> i look forward to going into the office of attorney general
9:05 pm
every day, suing him, defending your rights, and going home! >> sean: letitia james and leftist radical judge engoron are more guilty of phony evaluations then the defendantst hiin this case. remember, and september, before the trial even began, the judge determined trump was guilty by decree. why have a jury when you can simply bypass justice and go straight to the punishment phase? that'sy wh exactly what he did. throughout the show, this trial of his, his behavior was beyondr e bizarre, on full display,si repeatedly posing and smirkingng at cameras and the center ofnt ioattention. it was very clear, he loved every second. one of the more bizarre aspects in this trial is the the ridicus valuation of a place called, mar-a-lago in palm beach, cited by engoron in his december decision. he valued it at a whopping $18 million. to highlight how truly insan
9:06 pm
es thisis is, let me show you an example of palm beach real estate. i know for most americans this sounds crazy, but this is the price of real estate in palm beach, florida. just minutes down the roadlm b m mar-a-lago, there is a vacant lot, a 2--acre lot. this waterfront property, you can see the vacant lot, was listed for $150 million. another lot nearby, waterfront again, just an empty plot of dirt. no houseof, listed for $200 million.the mar-a-lago, on the other hand, is an iconic 60,000 square-foot residential property. by theerty way, it is historic property with other buildings ou the propertyil. it is a landmark, it has a beaca club that is associated with it, with a whopping 58 bedrooms, 7:30 three bathrooms, sitting on 20 plu s acres of land, uniquely positioned both on the intracoastal waterway and the oceanfront beach. now, they want you to believe this is worth a fraction of those smaller empty dirt lots.
9:07 pm
to get to this judgment, the judge pushed this insane valuation throughout the entire case. why? to justify this insane judgments the judge is far more guilty of phony evaluations and anyone in anythis case. is this really no justice in america? really? if you are liberal, do you have an open mind? can you not add the money up here and see what's going on? in new york i'm sure people aren notet interested in facts. ethey are interested in aa politicallpoy motivated takedow. here's the real question. who is the victim hereo is? because nobody got hurt. nono bank got hurt, no insurance company ever complain.em. none of them. all loans were repaid in full, on time.om during the trial, one deutsche bank executive testified fo r trump's defense, telling the court that bankers reviewed client reports of their net worth as "objective or subjective estimates." into their own such financial
9:08 pm
statements. all lenders and all insurance companies, they all have a fiduciary responsibility to do so. no company will lend or insure hundreds of millions of dollars inwithout doing their dug e diligence. that's insane.that on top of that, every single contract donald trump had withcp these lenders and insurance companies all included a disclosure with a very specific bit of language in it, telling them, use your own appraisals.d' don't use ours. so i ask again, where is thee victim here? that's right, there isn't actim victim. en athere's never been a case le this, a totally victimless political witch hunt, a civilnt trial, as they call it. i this is what we mean when we talk about a dual justice system, the weaponization of our legal system in america. they had to dig back years to bring all their claims forward, and now here we are years later. letitia james feels the need tlo bring the case against the runaway favorite for the republican nomination, heading
9:09 pm
right into an election season.ho how convenient is that? leftists in america are probably celebrating. what happens if one day they come for you? here with reaction, trump legal spokeswoman alina habba is withd us. the judge stuck through the e entirent trial to the insane valuation of mar-a-lago at $18 million. it is far closer to fara billix dollars, if you just extrapolate out a two-acre lot being worth $200 million, on sale for $200 million in palm beach. i have many more such examples. the question is, how does the judge get away with being far more guilty of the very thingin they said donald trump was guilty of? >> i think the biggest message t can give the american people tha tonight is that he's not going to get away with it.s is
9:10 pm
letitia james is not going to get away with it. the biden administration is not going totrat get away with it. there is a point -- and i want to say something different than i normally do. we have the order now. i am free to speak. let me just say, as somebody wh sat there in the trial,in sean -- and i'm so happy you invited me on to say this -- they will not get away with it. we will come a at them.co we will come hard, and we will literally fight until the truth comes out. there was nothing wrong. president trump has done nothing wrong. ne nothiall he has done is won , and that is scaring them,go because they know, when he goes back in november 2024, he'str going toul clean house, and that is truly the problem.-a it's-l not about mar-a-lago's worth. llioit's not worth $18 million.l it's probably worth $1.5 billion at the least. it is not worth, trump tower, 40 wall street, this is not what it's about. you knowthis it and i know it. this is the new form of election interference.
9:11 pm
this is a campaign that cannot succeed with biden and kamala.ma so they have to weaponize them, have george soros and read off and the men fund then come and go after everything trump, including his children, his company, employees working for them, doing their job. as the desperation of our country at this moment which is about to go into world war. this is crazy, and it is trump derangement syndrome. that's the best thint thg i can explain to you. t just know this, and fohar all those people who understande what's going on, we will win, wi will fight because the facts are on our side. there are politicized judges and d.a.s and ags. but i have no doubt in the end w we will succeed. >> sean:ild. tell us what your strategy is going forward, alina. >> very simple.at thele left-wing media unfortunately will report cases. i had another case that just wwent through aen new york, the great state of new york, which
9:12 pm
has completely fallen apart. my strategy isby to use the facs and the transcripts.rd, we make a record even when theya try and gag us, even when they tried to tell us, alina, i'm going to put you in jail if you object to a powerpoint slide that prove s your case. it doesn't d matter. i object anyway. we made a record, and the record is clearher , because their ords are transparent. they show a completely biased transcript.n theyth show -- the law is not on their side. they get their headline during an election season, but that is not going to b elee how we win. we have to fight the fight for the long run, and that truly is, sean, my strategy. that's all of our strategy. we will use the transcript and the evidence and the witnesses, the real facts, notht the media. it is no disrespect to the media, but i was there. we did nothing wrong. those statements of financial condition were undervalued. wwe did absolutely nothing wro. imagine dragging childrenhrou through this. that's the desperation we are at. people that did their jobs and did nothing wrong.t'
9:13 pm
that's how desperate they are because they are going to lose with the person who literally cannot walk up the stairs without falling down. so what do you have to do?ve yo tu have to lie, cheat, and steal, and now we have political lawfare. we will win in the appellate division. i have zero concern about that. >> sean: let's talk about the appeals process. the appellate court comes next and i would assume the supreme court if necessary. is that correct? >> absolutely. ver it's very simple. this is th e lower level. we shouldn't even have been in this court, sean. we shoulcod have been in the commercial division, because they used a commercial consumer d statute against private company that shouldn't of been used. weave have to deal with this je you didn't give us a jury, whole literally had -- miss james had her shoes off in court. let's not forget that. i called it out in the closing argument. but it's true. she had a starbucks coffee in
9:14 pm
her hand, she wasn't doing work, she wasn't sitting at the table, she was in the back with her shoes off and a coffee. at the end of the day, we are sitting there looking at this going, this is the state of our country. a gs are so comfortable in ourtd core that they know they don't even have to do the job or do the work. they are going to let their people do it and sit there and they are going to win. that's a problem. so we are going to go up to the next level, go to people notn't running on a campaign, runningg to get trump before there even in office, and we will win. it's going to go all the way to the top. >> sean: if we have justice and equal application of our lawsion , that would mean judged mengoron in this case would be brought up in another civil case for giving false valuations of mar-a-lago. i just gave a small amount of evidence andolum i could give yu voluminous amounts of evidencear that his appraisal of mar-a-lagl was so outrageous, but they needed that to do this.
9:15 pm
alina habba, thank you. we will be watching the appeals as they go forward.th thank you. joining us now, more analysis. gregg jarrett, harvard law professor. alan dershowitz. professor dershowitz, i'll start with you.et he wrote the best-selling book, "get trump." wher e did you get the title for that book? >> i didn't make it uph.in i wish i were creative and original, but i got it from,ti tiobviously, letitia james' campaign.t toshe had to be brought up befoe the bar. you should not have an elected prosecutor campaigning on the promise to get a particularenda defendant. now, if she didn't get him, she would lose the election. this is a variation of stalin heand berea. we know it was donald trump, ane we'll find you the fraud even though there was no harm. in our legal system,he
9:16 pm
particularly under the system of equity, if it's no harm, no foul, no harm, no fine, but when you have no damages at all, you can do multiple. million dollars of damages, youi calln give the $3 million fine. but when you have zero damages, no matter how many times you multiply it, zero plus, whatever, it is also zero. it is outrageous.w i i don't know whether it's goig to be reversed in the appellate division. the appellat'se division is also elected judges, mostly by democrats, in a county which is 85% democrat.wh the new york court of appeals, the highest court, may indeed come and give justice.lly generally finds like this are reduced considerably, and that may very well happen in this case. but this tells us so much about the politicization of our , thece system weaponization of our system, an itit is so dangerous because it will mean that business people
9:17 pm
are not going to want to run foy office, because they know, if they run for office, partisansi are going to go after them, and investigate them, figure out some way of getting them like over-valuing. this judge over evaluates when he wants to, $350 million for no damage, then under-evaluatesmi llwhat he wants to. he's willing to manipulate the numbers to get into the results he wanted. i hope thehe w courts will lookt this with a very, very stringent eye. >> sean: these valuations are very subjective. the deutsche bank executive isri 100% right. any lending institution -- and, in thedona case of donald trump, you're talking about dealsre tht are hundreds of millions of dollars. nobody's going to lend you that much or ensure that much of a property without doing their own valuation.
9:18 pm
they have a fiduciary responsibility to do so. there was a disclaimer that saii don't trust our valuations. within the application, it wasne in every single one. nobody was hurt. nobody was hurt. they all got paid back on time with interest that they ha intd agreed to. the only one most guilty of valuation problems was the ju judge. the judge, to take aion- billion-dollar property and stick it with an $18 million valuation -- please, i'll buy that right now.th i will find $18 million and i will buy mar-a-lag o for $80 million and put it on the market tomorrow for a billion dollars.d li i'd like to be a billionaire one day. >> you might get a porta pottyal for $18 milliom n in palm beach. >> sean: [laughs] >> the damages here, like the judge, are daft and asinine. under the law, damages must always reflect the measurable
9:19 pm
harm. here, there was no harm. no.t a single person testified they were injured. just the opposite. the lending banks made hugero profits.fi so how in the world a consumer protection statute could be used to hold liable a businessman foi a consumer doesn't exist is one of the great legal mysteries. i think, at the very least, new york's highest court should knock it down even though the entire court is composed of seven justices appointed by democrats. but letitia james knew she was sticesy demos knewg with here. alliberal courts and a liberal trial judge, arthur engoron, who wore his anti-trump bias on his sleeve -- arrogant, smug, obtuse. in his ruling he pronounced truminp guilty of fraud, ignorig completely all the bank exe executives who said, "we weren't defrauded or deceived."d heth said trump falsified financial statements, ignoring that trump never prepared the financials. t he had top lawyers, accountantst
9:20 pm
real estate experts. they calculated the assets. and as you pointed out, sean,e, the banks did due diligence. they concluded trump had morecop than enough to secure loans. they wanted to lend him more money.stil they still do. so i think engoron has managed to prove charles dickens right when he wrote that the law is an ass. >> sean: gregg jarrett and professor dershowitz, who wehank just lost, thank you both.more we have more on what we call lawfare.t the left is using it against president trump. sara carter has a report from biden's disastrous trip to east palestine, ohio.ha and i haveve a very special message, and let's just say i will be educating the media moby on how abusively corrupt and biased they are. nt you don't want t to miss my message to the media mob, straight ahead. ♪ ♪

to know it well, and it is for sale for $150 million, $200 million. those homes on the intercoastal and the ocean, even with a street in front of it, those are worth over $200 million. other homes go for morore than that at this particular point. i know it sounds crazy to anyone living anywhere else, but that' how crazy it is down here. how did the judge get away with trying to say mar-a-lago is $18 million? >> sean, they won't on appeal. that's the bottom line. .t's almost a joke it is a joke they tried to doal that. i'm in palm beach right now. m ari was at mar-a-lago today. one of the beachfront units is valued at double $18 million. it's ridiculous what's r they'rn doing. legally it will not stand up on, appeal, but they don't care. they are trying to damagee president trump prior to the electionior . that's all they care about.d as alina habba just said,il they're going to continue to fight, and is fully overturned on appeal. the valuations do not makens e,sense, but it doesn't matter o

donald trumpru has been denied fundamental due process.d m y sean, in my experience, this s how republics fall, and where we are as a nation. this is the kind of lawfare and the kind of outcome-based prosecution that is just going to do less, so we need goodst people, statesmen and states women, wom to stand up, no matta who they voted for, and say this is not fair.s this is not america. >> sean: it really isn't. i really worry about the future of the country. pam, how do you feel? new york is what it is. it is an extremely deep blue state, where you have radicals in government anond radicals on the bench. i said this before, i don't care if it is a civil trial or a criminal trial. i do not believe donald trumdonp can get a fair trial there. what did he get a new york city? 12% of the total vote?n is even worse in d.c., 5%.ty

fulton county, georgia, a little more, maybe in the 20% range. so how do you go into these venues and expect somebodyu ex o get a fair trial?do i don't believe it's possible.as and that's a big problem for the president.ad >> it is, sean, and that's why they chose these venues, as well, because you have theseic radical prosecutors, these radical attorney general's. the people of new york care car about crime. crime is at an all-time highet right now, yet she is out there going after donald trump on a charge that has never been usedo in the history of new york. every case -- mark my words,e every single case will bwie overturned on appeal. she campaigned on gettinglfil donald trump, she's fulfilling her promise. s to be out of office. a as a former attorney general, it is reprehensible what sht e is doing to him, as well as these other d.a.s ar around the country. >> sean: i agree with that.
9:30 pm
what would you advise, matt whitaker, the trumprney attorneys to be thinking about tonight? >> first of all, keep fighting. this is a righteous fight, good versus evil, and so this is something they need to make sury they are ready at every turn. at the end of the day, they need to make sure that they are making these arguments, and this is one of the things i thought they did a really great job, eveneven after this biased judge issued a summary judgment on the ty pliability phase, and the das phase. they were able to get in a lot of facts, college professors that suggested this accounting was proper .th isthey were able to get in expes on valuation, the banks you mentioned earlier today thatnd were ablabe to say, we weren't defrauded.ey iwe would loan him more money f he wanted it. i think they need to make a good record. at the end of the day, it matters with the court of m appeals does, but thet supreme court does.s but this is also the court ofn, public opinion a, and the amerio people i are going to issue the

east palestine, ohio, today. so nice of him, over a year after the disastrous train derailment that spilled toxic chemicals into that city.er remember? where was he last year when the people of east palestine needed him most? th e president had an excuse, claiming he just didn't have time or a break in his busy schedule of going to the beach to visit the ailing community. sara carter was in east palestine today where sheth spoke with residents about biden's long overdue visit. take a look.impr >> what was your first n yoimpression when you heard president biden was coming toidn east palestine? >> i laughed.d sai said, why? why? they probably don't even want him here anymore. >> i anys it too a little, too ? >> of course it is. he's only here because it's an election year, obviously. >> how does that make you feel?o >> he doesn't care. he doesn't care about little people. >> this is a political stunt with biden. all of the sudden, a year later,
