look at the case as a threat to democracy, frankly, what took place with the ag, the crooked ag, letitia james, who campaigned on the fact that i am going to get trumpcare that is all she said for two years. people don't want to see this

letitia james, sit down. we'll move on. this is new.ald trump has a narrow 2-point lead over joe biden. now, with the margin of error that means they are in a tie at this point. but when it comes to being competent and effective mentally, especially, as president trump leads by 11 points. worse for biden trump holds a 19-point advantage when it comes to the mental and physical health to be a president. and nbc news correspondent says this is a problem. >> who has the strong record as president and again trump outpacing biden on that front and again you have to mention this one, too. necessary mental and physical health. we asked this four years ago. it was a wash. now a clear liability for joe biden. these are all troubling numbers for biden. >> harris: troubling on the friendly networks to biden. democrats are reaching for their big names now. former president obama joined biden in a digital pitch to small dollar donors, hillary clinton popped off on trump. >> trump was like just gaga over putin because putin does what he would like to

i think so true, letitia james some kind of underwriting expert? surety bonds absurd. maria: exactly. chris: where does it stop? i think there is easiance for from, anybody would say have a collateral sign, can't access, finance 101 idea i think elizabeth is right trouble with this judge find new bonding move on more powerful, he is fed by this i think is going to be, more powerful more , believe it or not, sympathetic by the end of the week. maria: we will see about that coming up looking to a major week of earnings we've got big tech on deck economic data on deck march durable goods out wednesday first quarter gdp thursday, march pce number friday, all in the middle of big tech earnings u.s. bank asset management eric freedman here with expectations you are watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. we'll be right back. . ♪ ♪ ♪ . your shipping manager left to “find themself.” leaving you lost. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire her un

very much like letitia james. new york is going down. a lot of people are not going to be moving to new york. but this is a rigged case and a case that was put in very strongly because of politics. so instead of being in pennsylvania or georgia or north carolina or lots of other places today i'm sitting in a courthouse all day long. this will go on for another four or five weeks and it is very unfair. people know it's very unfair. the gag order has to come off. people are allowed to speak about me and i have a gag order. just to show you how much more unfair it is. the conflict has to end with the judge. the judge has a conflict, the worst i've ever seen. it has to end with the judge. the gag order has to come off. i should be allowed to speak. every time i come out to speak to you -- we've done nothing wrong. i showed you yesterday 32 stories of experts, legal experts. i don't have one the other way. very disturbed, legal ex perpts say strongly this is a case that should not have been brought. trump did nothing wrong. trump did nothing

looking at that case cases and threat to democracy, frankly, what took place bag a cricket ag, letitia james paid and the facts we can or the fact that i'm going to get drunk bomb, going to get trump. that's all she said for two years and its people don't want to see this stuff we have violent criminal zola with the streets of new york and nothing happens. so even when they catch him, they let him know bao nobel whatsoever so this is just a concerted which there is judge kaplan with a person i have no idea of gel. >> they called and said they're showing us i had no idea who this person was this judge or if you look at a gora versus that mar-a-lago, whichever was worth a video or 1,000,000,000.5. kelce said it was where 18 how this because that suited his narrative. but what what's happening in this city and all over the country. but what's happening in particular in this setting, some very good, but way, some are very fair. >> those is really the cities to thrive. >> but what's happening here with me judicial system is an outrage and all over the world they're watching it and all over the wo

letitia james with her crusade against trump., if you recall, $70 billion bond validated. but a new york judge ruled against her.>> >> a she walks away and normalla had a trial on $175 million, that is letitia james. she won't come to the white house, by the way. when you look at the numbers, they are around $1,000,000,000.18 billion. she just tried to embarrass everybody come and she tried to embarrass the company by saying they were not credit worthy.twor >> laura: regarding that classified documents case, by wednesday of this week, theand grand jury testimony transcript of former trump aid set to bele released. and then thursday is the big one, the supreme court will hear arguments on trump's's presidential immunity claim. joining me to tell senator mike lee and also with me mike davis, article 3 projecr founder, former core search clerk. let's start with you, senator supreme court case, a lot has beenprem said about youo do you think it would be likely a majority of this court would say that president trump orr presidential i

he leaves this procedure supposed to work with letitia james. on her case against donald trump. have a case against donald trump that alleges fraud without fraud. just as we have a bragg a case that alleges crime if we can figure them out where there is no crimes. fraud where there is no fraud, crimes or there is no crimes. and so who is behind all this? in part it is the number three guy, the biden guy helps letitia james then he moves to help alvin bragg. he's a very busy man he goes from a prestigious a federal position into attorney general's office and then to eig to a lowr office the das office we are all supposed to pretend he is just a good samaritan lawyer, that is all. no, he is there representing the biden regime and their effort to destroy donald trump and imprison him before the selection. that is exactly what is going on. let me make something abundantly clear about all of this. there is a recent supreme court decision. they do not call the supreme court in new york it' is kind of weird it's their highest court in new york that throughout the harvey weinstein convi

>> well, no particularly when letitia james said as a campaign promise that she was going to go after any kind of evidence of any kind of wrongdoing whatsoever. back to me is blatantly unethical and unprofessional. >> the supreme court has already waited on the issue of excessive fines used specifically against political enemies and none other by ruth bader ginsburg, the state of democrat liberals, she said and i'm quoting her from a 2019 decision, for good reason protection against excessive fines has been constant shield throughout american history. excessive fines could be used, for example, retaliate against or chill the speech of political enemies and that is exactly what's happening now. isn't that -- didn't she set a precedent with that decision? >> i think she did and if the state courts do not reverse this judgment which knowing the judges unfortunately new york may happen, i think the president will have a good right to appeal this to the u.s. supreme court based on that decision that could they then on no completely that fine and bring it down to zero and chastised the judg

letitia james letitia james.mpaigned on the fact -- and it has to do with the bond of $175 million. she doesn't want me to participate with financial companies in new york. we have a company based in california. i put out 175 million in cash. she is questioning the bonding company. >> here with more, lydia. >> there have been many appearances in hearings before judge arthur engoron during the course of this civil fraud trial for this one stands out because the parties were surprisingly collaborative. the hearing lasted for about an hour. during that time, the lawyers for trump in the state attorney general's office came to an agreement about the bond. questions that swirled around the company underwriting the bond. my specialty insurance company. it always maintained that trump posted cash as collateral to secure the bond. the attorney general raised questions about how that account was managed and who had access to it. and whether night specialty could pay the bond if needed. to address those concerns, here is w

[boos] sitting in a criminal court he gets a big win in the new york civil court after letitia jamesat was nothing but a politically obnoxious bid to nullify trump's bon. later we will talk to people who were in a courtroom possible also show you a new poll showing a majority of the american people would not believe as i do not believe that donald trump can or we'll get any fair trial in new york city women joining us now with the latest from a trump organization eric trump is with us. you been watching all of this unfold document stuck in the middle of all of this, erik kallgren i feel sorry for you and your family make big win as it relates to letitia james' effort, but now we have a trial over what? over, you know, what probably 90% of corporations in new york have been involved in. is called in nondisclosure agreement. some people do it because they don't want to pay the high cost of litigations. there's all sorts of reasons why those things happen. but that is basically what it's about or an accounting error that was a misdemeanor the centre the limitations ran out by a judge th

letitia james went after the insurance company's credibility for posting the bond.equally shocking here. here's what trump said about that. watch. >> the cash we put up, all cash, very few people can do that and the deal was approved with the attorney general. she just tried to embarrass everybody and she tried to embarrass a very good bonding company by saying they weren't credit-worthy. maria: mark, your reaction? >> well, what's really shocking here, and maria, you covered some of the largest financial fraud cases in american history, right and what's not here, what's not here is a line of victims with their hand out, asking for money back from an alleged fraud so the fact that letitia james is concerned about collecting this money for literally nobody because there are no crime victims associated with the trump fraud trial, goes to show it's not about justice, not about making anybody whole that was punished or damaged by virtue of fraud, this is all about punishing one man, donald trump. and of course what's also ironic, keep in mind that letitia james' argumen

this means that trump's assets will remain protected from attorney general letitia james. as he appeals a -- pursues an appeal of a half billion dollar fine, entered against him by judge engoron. david pecker, took the stand today in criminal case, that case continue tomorrow with pecker resumes stand and continuing his testimony tomorrow morning. >> you know, lydia hu on the knight's insurance, does anyone understand money i fungible, i am amused thank you. >> a couple thoughts, you have three big news stories at beginning of week, joe biden is on the wrong side of each one, by a lot. first, prosecutor opening statement in trump new york jury were made by the biden justice department former number three guy. matthew colangelo, prosecuting i guess because alvin bragg can't, that shows you how involved biden white house and justice department are in this craze prosecution of donald trump, it was the justice department that passed on the prosecution. as did federal election commission, but biden is involved big time, also i ask, what is illegal about nondisclosure agreements

letitia james, the money was put up, $175 million.he is complaining about me but complaining about the company. why would she be doing that when i put up the money? i just want you to know that's taking place in front of an extremely crazed judge who is the most overturned judge in new york state. he was overturned four or five times on that case alone. you know who it is. i want to be nice and don't mention names. i want to be very nice. a thing like what is going on right here should never be happening. a very sad day in america, i can tell you that. thank you very much. >> dana: those are the first comments of the day from president trump as opening statements get underway in the so-called hush money trial. he had a lot to say, including some comments about the other case and about letitia james who complaining about the bonding company, which he says doesn't make any sense since he put up cash, the amount that she wanted in cash. so that doesn't make a lot of sense but he is also -- i think he is even tempered. frustrated but not

mike left on the hook to cover it and attorney general letitia james could possibly go back to enforcingf a million dollars judgment it's back to you. >> formal federal prosecutor kt, we love your legal mind, we have listened to you and regular work, what is your reaction to what was just reported? >> letitia james is desperate to seize trump's assets for the purpose of a bond is to ensure if a litigant fails on an appeal they can cover the judgment and obviously here is not a significant concern so even though there are technical confirmations that need to be alleviated by the court, i don't think it's a real issue, the appeal will proceed without her moving had seizures. >> do think they are pushing the envelope, that it is a stretch? i think she's upset the appellate court reduced bond which is in their discretion to do so. this was unprecedented in the overall purpose of the bond is to ensure it could be paid which is not really an illegitimate case so he is upset she lost the appeal. >> let's turn to the other hush money case, georgia 2020 case, is it reasonable doubt a big hurdle i

the state attorney general letitia james won't let you.status of the ban you want to impose? >> well, we're in two courts right now. we're in federal court. i sued attorney general letitia james because she sent me a cease and desist order. i think it's just common sense that biological males should not be competing against biological females. it's unsafe, and it's unfair competition. so we ban it had at our -- banned it at our county facilities with close to 100 facilities and said if you're transgender and want to compete in a male league or coed league or form your own transgender league, that's fine. competing against women is unfair and unsafe. we banned that and we're in federal court, the judge in federal court has not granted us temporary restraining order and we're hopeful that we'll be successful and civil liberties union in state court and doing something right if they're fafacing it. stuart: bruce blakeman, thank you very much for being with us this morning. don't be a strangertous. we like to hear you again. >> thank you, stua

it will release your fat and it will release you. # david: now ag letitia james says the agency thatportedly beginning the process of claiming trump's property. is this ever going to end in > >> i'm calling this an administrative technicality. appears the bond company doesn't have all the requirements necessary in terms of what they provide to the state of new york. they'll be able to work that out. david: it's not that they don't have the money though; right? >> it's not just the money but additional money on top of it assurety for that money and has to be certain requirements satisfied if the state of new york and this company comes out of california. i think that as they work that out, the court will have tolerance for donald trump working that out to make sure that that's done apparently and i don't see a building getting seized in the meantime. david: letitia james ran on the basis of trump and she was going to pursue him till she got him in jail and she lost hugely with the appeals court that reduce that had initial find that the judge who was working with her pulled out of the

just a few blocks away, they had a trial with letitia james. it is all coming out of the white house, by the way. the judge did not know anything. he says supposing it goes down. it does not go down. i put up $175 million in cash. we have a bonding company. they tell him the bonding company is not good. they also have $175 million in collateral. the judge did not know anything about it. he did not know what the $175 million catchment. he had no idea what anything meant. he charged me hundreds of millions of dollars for somebody totally innocent. if you look at what happened today, it should have gone to the business division. if you look at the numbers, they are underestimated, i underestimated. it is the opposite of what they said. they did it for their own narrative. they valued other assets to build the narrative. i have a complete record of what happened. he had no idea what was going on. did not understand the most simple context. this is the man that took a case. they are moving out of new york because they will be put out of business. th

you look at letitia james, far left radicals. they to every single blue district and they weaponize these and attorney generals because they're scared of him. he's winninge'g in the polls.19a >> he's going to win in 196 days. and theyys, an can't handle it. they have a failed president, sean. the guy can't get up stairs on air force one. >> he makes us look like thorld.t of the entiren and they know he doesn't stand a chance after the disasters d that we've had over the last three and a half years. >> you know,a half yea jonathanw said, this is isn't you know, he's an utter disbelie, isf. were the opening statements today hush money quote is no t a crime. and brag has no case against thisld trump. this is a eight-year-old case. this, you know, when you puteig your dad says election interferenceye, eight years ago there was no other time that they could have brought thist they case with $130,000 beforey beli a court if they really believed it. til they have to wait 296 days before electiodays bn day for og arguments. >> eight year

letitia james, the money was put up, it's $175 million. i don't think she is complaining about me for the first time now. she is complaining about the company. why would she be doing that when i put up the money? i want you to know that's taking place in front of an extremely crazed judge who is the most overturned judge in new york state. he was overturned four or five times on that case alone. that's -- you know who it is. i don't have to mention names. i want to be very nice. but a thing like that what's going on right here should never be happening. it's a very sad day in america, i can tell you that. thank you very much. >> martha: down the street from the rush money trial new york state attorney general letitia james is another courtroom saying the $175 million agreed-to bond secured in cash by trump which allows him to appeal the judge's ruling in the civil fraud case she claims the bond is not financially valid according to the former president it was backed by cash. i don't know how that works. >> dana: full coverage on fox. jonna

look at what we've seen with candidates like fani willis in georgia and letitia james. plenty of tape out there of both of those women, one a d.a. and one an attorney general getting funds off his name and going after him. >> it's the weaponization of the court and justice system continue to be a massive problem in the new cases. >> harris: a federal judge in los angeles has denied all eight of hunter biden's motions to dismiss his tax case. the first son is accused of hatching a four-year scheme to avoid paying $1.4 million in taxes. however, the feds say he seemed to have plenty of money for other things. well, just google him and the youtube videos will pop up. he spent money on drugs, es escorts, cars, his attorney claimed it was a politically fueled prosecution but the judge said he didn't provide evidence of that. a judge looking for evidence in a hunter biden case. >> imagine that, the facts matter. all of those sordid things that hunter biden did, he then tried to deduct a lot of them from his tax returns. the judge is like this is not politically motivated. >>

that is letitia james. it's all coming out of the white house, by the way. the judge engoron. the judge didn't know anything. he didn't know about the security. he said -- it doesn't go down because its cash. i put up $175 million in cash. we had a bonding company do it. he challenged the bonding company that maybe the bonding company was no good. well, they are good. they also have $175 million of my collateral. the judge didn't know anything about -- he didn't know what $175 million cash manager. he had no idea what anything meant. he had no idea what he did in the trial. and he charged me hundreds of millions of dollars on something where i am totally innocent. but if you look at what happened today, judge engoron should not have done that. he should have gone to the business division where they have complex business trials. actually, it should have never been brought. because i didn't overestimate. they said i overestimated. if you look at the numbers, they are underestimated. i underestimated. i did the opposite of what they said. the reason that they tried to -- and they

. >> ainsley: this lays the groundwork for an appeal and prevents state attorney general letitia james from seizing his new york assets. >> brian: she could not be more disappointed according to me. brooke singman is here with more. >> the former president taking to truth social shortly after posting his bond saying quote i have just posted $175 million bond with the sadly failing and very troubled state of new york based on a corrupt judge and attorney general who used a statute that was never used for this before. the 2024 presumptive republican nominee owed $454 million but an a350e8s court cut that bond by more than half. attorney general letitia james is now barred from collecting that full judgment while the appeals process plays out. the former president's lawyer say he quote looks forward to vindicating his rights on appeal and overturning this unjust verdict. judge arthur engoron found him liable and in february ruled he inflated his assets to ensure better tax and insurance benefits. if former president trump does not win on appeal he will be faced to pay that full $454 milli

and so letitia james is saying wait a second here, normally you put up cash. going with the court. she wants more information, and we'll see what happens. there's a woman named barbara jones, a former federal judge, she's the overseer of the company appointed by judge engoron, paid for by donald trump, and she gets access to a lot of this information. one way or another, we're going to find out more about mr. hanky and his company and where he's coming from. >> dave aronberg, we appreciate you coming up here this morning and laying it out for us. have a good weekend. >>> up next on "way too early," donald trump is set to host a golf tournament this weekend for the saudi backed liv circuit amid new questions surrounding the former president's business and political ties to the nation of saudi arabia. we'll get into that. >>> and then coming up on "morning joe," a tense phone call between president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu ends with an american ultimatum. what the president says will happen and israel declines to change his approach in

we also got a filing from the new york attorney general, letitia james. she wants to make sure that the bond group, the bond company that trump got his bond four in judge arthur engoron's ruling, there actually can back him up financially. tell us about that >> ephors for a second. i want to go back to georgia though, because this is another effort to dismiss a case and that argument there was another constitutional argument. they're arguing that what he was doing down in georgia was political speech. they argue that that should be protected under the institution they're saying look effectively, he was talking about politics. two politicians. this is political speech. no one thought that that was going to prevail, but one of the reasons they had to make that argument in georgia, knowing it would likely be rejected is because they need to preserve that issue for appeal. and i'm told by sources that the overall strategy down in georgia is it's the hope that the mistakes over the course of that case will add up. so even if there is hypothetically an eventual

they will continue these frivolous indictments like letitia james in new york or fani willis in georgiathis is a hill to die on for every american. we must protect our second amendment. alan: you mentioned the ar-15, america's most popular firearm. the national media does not want to talk about it. there are people out there every day that use a so-called ar-15 to defend themselves and their family but you never see in our national news. you never see a story where someone sent their family or children -- sometimes going about in the house and their mother because they had an ar-15 for self-defense. it is a one-sided debate in the national media. it is disgusting. carl: most of them do not even know what "ar" stands for. some say assault rifle. the reality is, our millett rifle. it does not fit their narrative. we have to be louder. help to support things like the nra. continue to fight this. we have to control the narrative. we have to control our ability to control our own rights. rep. mills: democrats are the greatest gun salesman. every time a democrat comes into office they keep dr

he posted his 175 million and letitia james is not getting her hands on any of his cash or businessessets. so there go, deal with it madame ag, we will talk about it c with kellyanne conconway and a few others, i'm kudlow, it's nice to be back. try dietary supplements from voltaren, for healthy joints. i'm aline and i live in castle valley, california. my husband, barney, and i have been married for 32 years. i think the most important thing in life is to stay healthy. i noticed i was having some memory losses. i discovered prevagen. since i've been on prevagen, i've noticed more clarity, more sharpness. the recall mechanism is a lot more concise. i've been taking prevagen for almost 10 years. it's wonderful. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription. not all caitlin clarks are the same. caitlin clark. city planner. just like not all internet providers are the same. don't settle. you want fast. get fast. you want reliable. get reliable. you want powerful. get powerful. get real deal speed, reliability and power with xfinity. she shoots from here? that's kinda my thing. lar

. >> one other thing i would like to ask about, your good friend letitia james, new york attorney generald. it is registered in new york as i understand it. do you have a thought on that? >> she's wrong as usual. paid all caps for $175 million bond and fully collateralized, it is a valid bond but letitia james spanked by the appellate court now trying to end run disqualify the company by claiming it is not a standard carrier in new york. it doesn't have to be. it is a surplus or excess carrier and as long as it is sufficiently capitalized -- and it is over a billion in equity, you can offer tom's bond and that's what it's doing. the truth is, james got ameliorated by the higher court, desperate to stop jumps appeal, seize assets, doesn't care about the law only about filling her campaign so to if i may borrow the professor's book title, get trump. >> you are right in the other example of the double standard is obviously trump people are trying to recuse the judge in the criminal case in new york on the ground that his daughter works for democrat and what profit financially if he were to b

this is pushing back letitia james' effort to stop your order but now comes letitia james we'd expective order is still in effect and there's a case pending in federal court and there's a case pending in state court and the new york civil liberties union has taken me to court. i feel very confident that we'll win that case as well and they try to make it very complicated and biological males is your bigger, faster and stronger and compete against females and all girls teams and all women's teams and there's a competitive advantage and ability to hurt women and make it unsafe for them to compete. it's common sense and i don't know where the country is going and people are supposedly smart and can't see the logic that we have here in nassau county. will: feels whether or not it's your case or some other state, feels like we're headed to a supreme court applying 1964 civil rights act discrimination analysis to this entire thing and who is degree of party and trans athlete or woman. there's going to be a ruling for the priority in order and better yet reengineer us back towards us as you

new york attorney general letitia james lost again in court, a judge said letitia james cannot invalidate former president trump's $175 million bond that trump had to put up first before he could appeal the new york civil judgment. an appeals court already cut an initial find by more than half down from 54 million, down to 135 million. now trump can appeal, is not what is going to happen? >> i think that's exactly what's going to happen this attorney general is giving trump will orders, fighting every turn. what we have seen is ever since the trial ended, it's one victory for trump after another. he got the appeals court to cut the amount of the bond, he successfully buns off attorney general's attempt to basically blow up his bond and he may have very different results when this verdict or judgment from the trial judge goes up on appeal, a brand-new state of judges who will look at the evidence independently and we see that evidence differently in the trial judge day. >> it's not over till it's over. thank you. appreciate you so much. let's bring in former u.s. attorney guy who, former a

trump with these surrogate lawsuits he really does believe that a jack smith or fani willis or on letitia jamesld either cost trump so many millions in legal fees or penalties that he won't be able to campaign effectively or he will put gag orders on him or put him in jail barring that i don't think it will work i think the chicago convention is going to be the most loud and violent and scary convention for the democratic convention in chicago that is going to be a lot of people that come to the conclusion that his family is corrupt he is declining mentally and physically and all of his agenda every item of it is unpopular so i think there will still be a movement among the democratic party to bust up that convention and that will be something to watch it really is. >> sean: it will be something, i hope everyone read your column, thank you sir. when we come back despite tb and measles spreading and illegal immigrant shelters in chicago the liberal mayor of the windy city is offering to take in hundreds of thousands of more illegal immigrants wow judge jeanine pirro straight ahead cordless outdo

if this becomes the michael cohen show next week, let's switch to letitia james.case against donald trump, the this new he did come up with the money. but now letitia james is saying the bondsman that was used in this wasn't a proper bondsman, that the i's weren't dotted, the t's weren't crossed, may not have the right jurisdiction in new york. and she says she may move ahead to take over his property. could that really happen? i mean, if it's just a, you know, a sort of a bureaucratic detail. well, look, i think it's pretty unlikely. and there is a long, long, long way to go before she could actually seize any of former president trump's properties. i think what she's doing right now is, as you said, she's kind of kicking the tires a little bit on the bond. she wants to make sure that it's a licensed entity and that the amount is sufficient and that sort of thing. but that's ultimately a decision that the court will make. whether or not the bond is sufficient. and if the court decides the bond is not sufficient, i think he would give trump another chance to post

the director of unwra sitting in letitia james , an american military hero, said we have lost more than 137 workers. what do we have to do in terms of conditioning aid? i signed a letter that was drafted by mr. mcgovern. i'm proud to have signed onto it to say we have to take a look at what military munitions are going to israel. after the use of 2000 pound dominant bombs in gaza, so imprecise, the ability to take out whole buildings is unacceptable. 33,000 people are dead. it is estimated that one half of those are children israel has not told us a number in that that is actually hamas. we've got a tremendous number of civilian deaths. we have the responsibility and the right, frankly, as congress as this administration under the memorandum of security number 20, dated february the eighth, we have the responsibility of oversight and conditioning aid for military use is not discriminate. >> congresswoman, i've been calling the deadly airstrike on world central kitchen a turning point in the u.s. israel relationship and in the relationship between president biden and prime minister benja

jean carroll, letitia james beat him and the civil fraud trial. alvin bragg beat him in the criminal conviction of the trump organization. the new york attorney general took down his fake university and his fake charity. so, monday, april 5th, 2024, will be the worst day of trump's public life because it is the first time he is personally being brought to judgment in a criminal court. >> barbara, i am taking my glasses off and having some lawyer talk. we are all former trial attorneys and prosecutors. let's talk inside baseball. we've all tried cases before and cases that i've had somewhat of a very public atmosphere or press cases, if you will. that's what we call them. donald trump has a ridiculous, almost super bowl public platform with respect to the amount the people he can reach and the narrative he can sell. if you are trying this case as the prosecutor, how do you keep the public environment, the circus-like atmosphere, from interfering with how you go about doing your work. >> it's an important point. i remember being a prosecutor and cas

>> the point was to buy time and get letitia james off his back but what we see now as they go throughas fraudulent contract from a sketchy bond guy for a case that was all about fraud? >> the irony, right? now donald trump is put letitia james in a precarious position because she has to make the decision as to whether she wants to undergo a bond source hearing. but that typically means is they will go into detail and examine the legitimacy of the course being provided to establish this bond. if that is done, it is not going to help the ag's office from a time perspective because it's just going to delay that further and further down the road, and it will allow him to do what he wants to do. if she does not make that move then donald trump sits with this fraudulent contract and allows that to cover the $175 million necessary to sustain the bond, so he is essentially playing checkers again while other people are trying to just get an honest answer and hold him accountable. >> my goodness. all right, so the guy in l.a. is a subprime auto lender. that's how he got rich. over the weekend,

if letitia james sues -- >> that's right. stuart: -- how would that lawsuit play out?i'm not an expert on what the procedural posture would be in this particular area, but i do think this ties in with the biden re-election question which you asked me right off the top. think about the state of new york is suing to allow men to compete against women in public facilities on long island. we know how much long island has moved in the direction of the republican party. it's one of the reasons why republicans took back control of the house. but it's also a symptom, i think, of how radical left-wing ideas have taken root inside of the democrat party. i'm a sports guy too in addition to being a lawyer. i've got three kids. i've coached little laying baseball and basketball. not great, by the way, at either, but i have coached. and i can't imagine how -- i know exactly how the parents would react if when i was coaching 12u baseball if i showed up with a 15-year-old and tried to pretend that he was actually a 12-year-old. every parent would say that's ridiculous. well, men and b

this lace the groundwork for an appeal and prevents state attorney letitia james from seizing his newk assets. >> ainsley: griff jenkins at the white house. $545 million bond seem like a lot. now $175 million seems. >> steve: drop in the bucket. >> ainsley: pocket change. >> good morning. trump tower and other trump properties are safe from la tletitiajames seizure. he took truth social saying i have just posted $157 million bond with the sadly failing and troubled state of new york. the case was a fabricated election interference con job so bad for new york where businesses are fleeing and violent crime is flourishing. so, what comes next? well, that will be the appeal of the full judgment in this civil case. his a lena habba saying this. he looks forward to vindicating his rights on appeal and overturning this unjust verdict meanwhile trump will hit the campaign trail in michigan and wisconsin michigan's g.o.p. chairman and member of congress pete hoekstra saying this joe biden is allowing an invasion at our border and west michigan dealing with the preventable murders in our backya

pete: so i woke up this morning and read that headline, and i thought, wait, did letitia james, like,o -- i thought void -- i was reading it the wrong way. oh -- [laughter] no, no, no. they're saying the folks that he used for his bail bond money aren't licensed in new york and, as a result, it should be revoked, and he has to find somebody else to work with to post the $175 -- will: right. mys spoke saying it was this judge, it was one of the many cases with donald trump. and, yes, they're saying the interest company can't cover the 175. pete: yeah, they're not big enough. so he has to find somebody else. but the whole point to make trump and his team scramble. nicole: that's the whole point right now, she cannot hide the fact this is politically motivated. she just will not stop. she wants to continue to show the people she will do everything possible to come at donald trump not for criminal or civil activity because she doesn't like him, and that that's very blatantly obvious. pete: the latest wrinkle in the trial that's ongoing is the judge has ruled trump's team doesn't get to kn

so if all of this plays out and letitia james is successful, who covers the difference?p has to cover the difference in how he does that, remains a mystery, in part because it's not securitized for the rest as chuck just pointed out. if and when james wins on appeal to the full satisfaction of that $454 million -- and by the way, that will grow by the day with postjudgment interest, she will have to figure out where donald trump's assets are, which of them she can most quickly seize or enforce upon. many of them are already pledged to other lenders. we know that access bank in which don hankey is the largest shareholder has $225 million of outstanding loads to donald trump. >> and there it is. >> and that bank has problems. chuck rosenberg and lisa rubin, thanks for unpacking all of that. >>> the rock said he won't endorse a presidential candidate in 2024 and he's blaming cancel culture. that's the sentence, i think i would be hearing or saying that. but we will talk about it, next, on the weekend. the wd ♪♪ [stomach noises] gas... or abdominal discomfort... help stop th

letitia james not going to take all of his cash, his assets or his businesses. that is my forecast.trump had two big wins in the new york appeals court. the appeals judges knocked down the bond from 454 mil to 175. trump then posted it. make it three wins because of the successful trump media stock offering which i still believe shows great support for the former president throughout the country. it was retail investors, not the big boys on wall street, that bought his stock offering. but step back for a moment and look at the big, big picture. just a reminder, mr. trump is putting together a new coalition based on typical working folks and their families who want a pay raise, not a pay cut. who want to close the border, not open it up to a wave of biden illegal crime. who want a return to law and order and the support of the police. who appreciate mr. trump's first term tax cuts and deregulation that contrary to biden's constant untruths by far benefited middle and lower income workers the most. these folks work hard, play by the rules. they reject the woke culture. are tired of wa
