your host , ryan Samuels . Hello
1:46
patriots , welcome back .
1:46
We are here again
1:49
To talk about the
1:52
latest drama or one of the latest dramas
1:54
. There just seems to always be something Going
1:57
on in the world . Donald Trump has been ordered to
1:59
pay an insane 355
2:06
million dollars For an
2:08
incident that was not a crime where
2:12
there was a victim , and it was essentially a consensual agreement
2:15
between him and the bank
2:18
, which is not odd For any real
2:20
estate developer or any business person to kind of do . The bank
2:22
didn't , you know , press any charges . The bank
2:24
didn't say they were wronged . In
2:27
fact , they testified that no , we valued the
2:29
property at you
2:34
know the the amount that he told us
2:36
. And then they proceeded
2:38
to value Mar-a-Lago at 18 Million dollars
2:40
, which is absolutely ludicrous and this is obvious political
2:42
persecution . Now
2:46
, the judge from the beginning was completely biased . Alina
2:50
Habba came out and said that . You know she wasn't allowed
2:52
to speak . They put a gag order on
2:55
his attorney . She wasn't allowed to talk to the press about the case . I
2:57
mean that's absolute nonsense . You
3:00
know you have a right to the First Amendment
3:02
and you have a right to talk about a Trial
3:05
, a public trial by public officials . You
3:07
have a right to express anything that
3:10
you feel is wrong to the world . I
3:12
mean that's your basic right to the First
3:14
Amendment freedom of press , freedom of speech and
3:17
that's why it's specifically there so that you can address your
3:19
redress , your grievances with the government
3:21
in a public forum , and
3:24
they cannot silence you for it . Obviously
3:28
, liberals and MSNBC are cramming in their
3:30
pants over this Because
3:32
they're not allowed to talk about it . They're pants
3:34
over this because they're
3:36
losers and they have nothing else to do with their lives
3:39
. But let's , let's listen to this
3:41
segment here about this
3:45
Donald Trump ruling .
3:48
Let's ask Kristen , you use this 6312
3:51
and the Trump University suits , a
3:53
University that was scamming people
3:55
, wasn't actually giving them useful information
3:58
for them to do business and wasn't licensed
4:00
and it wasn't a University , etc . Yes , yeah
4:02
, yeah . So tell me , is it fair ?
4:05
Look . The thing is that the notion that 6312
4:07
is this sort of weird thing that shouldn't
4:10
be applied and so forth and so on . This
4:12
, this statute , and the statute that was based on
4:14
, which is called the Martin Act , which may be the one that people
4:16
are more familiar with , the Martin Act applies
4:18
to securities . These law , the Martin Act , was
4:20
put on the books in New York about a hundred years ago . We
4:23
have a lot of case law to
4:25
support this . This , this statute , is used
4:27
by the AG's office every day against
4:29
all sorts of other Frauds and
4:31
misdeeds . That the , the , the , the
4:34
legal standard is whether there was a tendency
4:37
to deceive . That's
4:39
what it is , and the legislature in New York May
4:41
have public policy choice to say that
4:43
that was an important weapon for
4:46
the AG's office to have to vindicate the
4:48
public good in this situation and
4:51
it seems like what judge Angorne found was there
4:53
was intention , not just an attendancy
4:55
.
4:55
There was intention to deceive , which is even
4:57
higher than they needed .
4:58
It's basically , if the bar is here . You know
5:00
there was that . The evidence went way over the
5:02
bar .
5:03
I mean he's saying when confronted it .
5:05
How is their intention to deceive ? If
5:08
the bank agrees with
5:10
him and the bank says that we're not being
5:12
deceived and they do their Own due diligence and
5:14
they value the property themselves and they come
5:16
back with a with an amount of money
5:19
, I don't , where's the
5:21
deception ?
5:22
trial with statements , defendants , fact and expert witnesses
5:24
simply denied reality and defendants
5:26
failed to accept Responsibility or to
5:28
impose internal controls to prevent
5:31
future recurrences .
5:33
Under 63 12 , you
5:35
don't need intent , but intent becomes
5:37
an aggravating factor . So
5:40
that's part of why we see the penalties so
5:42
high here .
5:42
There's a couple things you don't need intent
5:45
, well then , it's not
5:47
a crime if there's no
5:49
intent .
5:50
One is there was a great graphic that was up just
5:53
a second ago and it showed especially seven
5:55
springs . I think it was one of them , were it ? Let's
5:57
just talk about the numbers here the sheer
6:00
quantity of the
6:02
Disparity
6:04
between what he claimed to the property
6:06
was and what it was appraised for . We're
6:09
not talking about something where he rounded
6:11
up a little bit or added
6:13
a little 20% , 30%
6:15
. That one right there , that's the one . Take
6:17
a look at that . Look at seven springs
6:19
30 million appraised value and
6:21
he tried to value it at my
6:24
eyesight is terrible 261
6:26
291 million dollars . You
6:29
gotta be kidding me , just that
6:31
. Is it right there ? Screenshot
6:33
that that's your , that that's your
6:35
. Exhibit a right there . For if
6:37
you want to know , why is he in this much trouble
6:40
?
6:40
That's why you
6:42
have a 10x premium over
6:44
reality let me , let me hold
6:47
on , guys , let me know .
6:50
Where is the appraisal coming from ? I mean , when you own
6:52
a home and you do your
6:54
tax appraisal , the appraisal
6:56
on your home is significantly lower than
6:58
the appraisal when you sell it . Who
7:05
appraised it at the 30 million ? Because the judge
7:08
ruled that Moralago was worth 18 million
7:10
. So did the judge also appraise this
7:12
?
7:15
Go ahead and read from the specifically
7:17
the piece in this ruling on
7:19
7th spring so happen to have it in front of me From 2011
7:21
to 2014, . When valuing a
7:23
plot of land upon which seven mansions could be
7:26
built in Bedford , mcconney relied
7:28
on valuations provided by Eric Trump , who advised
7:30
McConney to value the seven mansions development
7:32
at 161 million on the 2012
7:35
SFC , which is a financial statement . This
7:37
valuation assumed a host of future events
7:39
that had not and , as hindsight has
7:41
shown , would not occur , including
7:43
that the Trump Organization had received legal
7:46
permission to develop the lots , that the mansions
7:48
were already built and available for
7:50
sale , and that there would be no construction
7:52
or development costs associated
7:54
with building the mansions . Eric Trump
7:56
further advised McConney to use these values again
7:59
in 2013 and 2014 . Eric
8:01
Trump was aware that the values he was providing would
8:03
be used on his father's SFCs
8:05
.
8:06
upon realizing that , she doesn't even know
8:08
the terminology .
8:10
Building the seven mansions would be neither feasible
8:13
nor profitable , the Trump Organization
8:15
, through outside counsel Sherry
8:17
Dillon , commissioned an appraisal from
8:20
the Cushman and Wakefield firm to determine
8:22
the value of the development rights
8:24
for the plot of land upon which the
8:26
Trump Organization had previously considered
8:29
building the seven mansions . In
8:31
August 2013 , eric Trump advised McConney
8:33
to continue to use the undisclosed value
8:35
undiscounted value of 161
8:38
million for the seven mansion development
8:40
, despite having received an initial
8:42
estimate approximately 5.5
8:45
million from Cushman and
8:47
Wakefield , and goes on just
8:49
one little portion . Further . On
8:52
September 8 , 2014 , david McCartle
8:54
of Cushman and Wakefield advised Eric Trump
8:56
verbally that he had appraised the seven mansion
8:58
development at 14 million . Notwithstanding
9:01
, a mere four days later , eric Trump
9:03
advised McConney to continue
9:05
using the 161
9:08
million dollar value . So
9:10
on September 4th , he was told it's
9:13
14 million . Four days later
9:15
, september 12th , he
9:17
advised McConney to continue using
9:19
the 161 million dollar
9:22
value .
9:22
And these are just accusations by
9:25
Leticia James . That's all she's reading
9:27
as if they're a fact .
9:28
Yeah , so from 14 million to 161
9:31
, underscoring your point , right .
9:33
So that's number one . Number two
9:35
, if we're going back to talking about the
9:37
bands or the corporate , the
9:39
cancellation of the corporate charters , which now is
9:41
out of the punishment here , whereas before
9:43
it had been in , there is one thing
9:46
that I want to point to when we're talking about harm
9:48
, is that what should be
9:50
looked at here . I think the AG's office should
9:52
really be looking at this . I hope it's
9:54
something that we see in further
9:56
arguments in this case and that , on appeal , is
9:59
that we should not just be looking
10:01
at the fraud and illegality that
10:03
was committed in this particular case , when
10:05
6312 has been used
10:07
before to bring about these kind
10:10
of removal of licenses
10:12
or banning from industries and so forth
10:14
and so on . It is to
10:16
look at the totality of that
10:18
bad actor's misconduct
10:20
in New York state . So in my
10:22
view , we should be looking at Trump University , we
10:25
should be looking at the Trump Foundation , we should
10:27
be looking at the Manhattan .
10:28
The Foundation which was ordered not to .
10:30
They had to wipe it out because of the stealing
10:32
money .
10:33
Anything they can get their hands on . Essentially
10:35
is what he's saying .
10:37
From a kid , from money that was supposed to go to a kid's cancer
10:39
charities . You had the Manhattan
10:42
DA . We forget about this case . Now got
10:44
a conviction of the Trump organization what
10:47
it was a year or two ago for
10:49
tax fraud with regard to executive
10:52
compensation and that also applied to Allen Weisselberg
10:54
. He spent some time in Rikers for it and
10:57
then the violation of the court order in this
10:59
matter itself , where he took 40 million
11:01
dollars that was supposed to not be moved
11:04
out of the Trump organization and used
11:06
it improperly for his personal
11:08
expenses . All of this adds up to
11:10
just a it's . You know I'm colloquializing
11:13
here , but it's it's , it's grinding .
11:16
There's going to be a lot of gems in this .
11:19
So they're super excited , they're fired up
11:21
, and so is CNN . And
11:23
the greatest thing of
11:26
today is that
11:28
Kevin
11:34
O'Leary came
11:36
out and
11:38
he was on CNN and they were talking
11:40
about the Trump case and the
11:42
seat . The CNN
11:45
host . I
11:48
guess I don't know why she thought Kevin
11:50
O'Leary would be on her side , but
11:54
she kind of just walks into this and Kevin O'Leary
11:57
, he just obliterates her and he's
11:59
right . Everything he's saying is absolutely right .
12:02
Wouldn't there be many companies who would
12:04
not want to do business or loan
12:06
money to people like yourself or
12:08
investors , if they
12:10
know that they can get away with fraud and there's no
12:12
recourse to protect them ?
12:16
Excuse me , what fraud . This
12:18
is not about Trump anymore . When you
12:20
get a developer that builds a
12:22
building and he says it's worth
12:24
$400 million and he wants
12:26
to borrow $200 million from a bank
12:29
which happens every day everywhere on
12:31
earth , including every American city every
12:33
developer is an entrepreneur . They shine
12:35
the light on their building and they say it's worth $400
12:38
million . The bank does its own due diligence , as
12:40
was done in this case , because
12:42
the banks are very good and
12:44
they say no , it's worth $300 million , we're only
12:46
going to loan you $150 million . That
12:48
haggling has gone on for decades
12:51
. That's how it works . Then , in
12:53
this case , even the bank that was
12:55
supposedly defrauded testified
12:58
and said we didn't lose anything . We want to do
13:00
business with this guy again . We'd
13:02
like to . But the judge said no , no , no , no
13:04
, no , no . Let's penalize this
13:06
developer for $355
13:08
million . We're going to do that . Let's
13:11
penalize all the developers
13:13
all across America . They've
13:16
all done the same thing . All of them
13:18
should go to jail and we should
13:20
stop building buildings . That's what
13:22
the message is from New York . Even the
13:24
governor herself is concerned about
13:26
what this looks like to investors
13:28
all around the world . It's not just US domestic
13:31
. All around the world , people are talking
13:33
about what happened here .
13:36
I mean , he brings up a great point . Who's
13:39
going to want to do business in New York If
13:42
you enter into an agreement with
13:44
anybody ? Right , if
13:48
somebody ? If you need money and your
13:50
uncle is like , well , I'll give you
13:53
$500,000
13:55
, but if you don't pay me back , I'm going to take your house . Okay
13:58
, but my house is only worth $175,000
14:00
. That's fine . Whatever , I don't care , it's not collateral
14:02
. Oh , okay , I
14:07
mean , is it fraud ? Is that fraud ? Or
14:09
is that just a mutual consensual
14:11
agreement between two consenting
14:14
adults ? If
14:17
the bank says , yeah , no , it's fine , we'll give you
14:19
a $150 million loan on that
14:21
property . That's between you and the bank . It's
14:25
the bank's responsibility to do their due diligence
14:28
and say yes or no . They
14:30
want to do business with Donald Trump
14:32
because he always pays his loans
14:34
and they make millions of dollars off
14:36
of him alone . So
14:39
now you just took all of that business out of New
14:41
York . You barred Trump from operating business
14:43
in New York for three
14:46
years , all on a political witch
14:48
hunt .
14:49
I really think people want to invest money in New York
14:51
after this . How about we go somewhere else ? Well
14:54
, I think there are people who would
14:56
.
14:56
I don't want to cut you off , but I want to converse
14:59
with you instead .
14:59
Well , you just did .
15:00
It's only because .
15:01
I want to have a conversation with Kevin
15:03
as
15:03
opposed to just having you tell me I respect you
15:05
because you're a lawyer . You're a lawyer
15:07
. You understand exactly what I'm talking about
15:10
.
15:10
I gotta tell you I'm respectable for a number
15:13
of reasons , kevin O'Leary , but being a lawyer is one
15:15
of those .
15:17
Good God , you give me a frickin'
15:19
break . That's not the only reason
15:21
I'm respectable . Shut up .
15:24
This is what I'd tell you when I hear
15:26
your conversation , and I do want to converse with
15:28
you about this point . I understand
15:30
that there are legitimate concerns that were raised during
15:33
the trial and will continue to be raised about
15:35
who the quote unquote
15:37
who is actually bringing into suit . It wasn't
15:39
the banks who were saying that . We as
15:41
consumers are unsophisticated , feel this way
15:43
, and Tisha James , attorney general
15:46
, and I know you want to expand beyond . Trump has
15:48
suggested . Well , it's about making the
15:50
playing field level for those who are not the
15:52
major and billionaire investors
15:54
, but for those who are supposed to put business
15:56
records out there , want to get a loan
15:59
, the idea of making sure that they
16:01
have to have the same true
16:03
statements included as those who have
16:05
a lot more money . Is there any weight to that
16:07
for you ?
16:09
Well , I asked you who
16:12
lost money . I make it even clearer
16:14
you and I we're developing
16:16
a data center together and I say to you we
16:19
can go to New York , where this just happened
16:21
. It's your money now . You're
16:23
now an investor and you're taking risk . You're
16:25
an entrepreneur , with me right beside me . We're together
16:27
on the deal . Or I can show you Oklahoma
16:30
, north Dakota , west Virginia , where the governor's
16:33
actually ran businesses . Let's
16:35
go there where this never happened before
16:37
. They have power , they have permits , they've
16:40
got legislation that's supportive of entrepreneurship
16:42
. Why would we go to New York ? Why take
16:45
the risk ? My only point
16:47
is did we just diminish
16:49
the great state of New York and
16:51
the great people of New York , and
16:54
shouldn't they ask for better management
16:56
so they don't become a flyover state ? Remember
16:59
, new York has the highest taxes in the country
17:01
, the worst regulatory environment
17:03
and it's incredibly mismanaged , and
17:06
I'm pointing out now , on top of that , you
17:08
get this insanity , a victimless
17:11
crime , and forget about Trump . It's
17:13
not about Trump . I don't care about Trump in this
17:15
. I care about America and
17:17
I care about entrepreneurship and
17:19
I care about democracy . And the
17:21
fairness to judicial
17:23
system is now being criticized . People
17:26
are asking themselves the bar of New
17:28
York . Is this judge
17:30
rational to charge $355
17:33
million in a case where no one lost
17:35
any money ? Is that good for the people
17:37
of New York ? What's the people of New York
17:39
wake up to this and say what's happening
17:41
to us . Why is this becoming
17:43
so perverse
17:46
? Why are we the focus of
17:48
this injustice ? And I've nothing
17:50
to do with Trump . I'm not supporting Trump . I'm
17:52
supporting American entrepreneurship , and
17:55
New York is slowly becoming the
17:57
number one loser state in
17:59
America . I'm sorry , that's
18:02
what's happening .
18:04
I mean Woll said , and he
18:06
makes it a point to say that
18:08
he's not supporting Donald Trump . I
18:11
mean that's fine , it doesn't
18:13
matter . But he's right , because it's not about Donald Trump
18:16
. The precedence has been
18:18
set and now
18:20
that the precedence has been set , the precedent
18:22
, the precipice , the
18:27
precedent has
18:30
been set . It opens
18:32
the door for it to be done again . So
18:35
now Kevin O'Leary is saying that the New York
18:37
State bar is asking questions about the judge
18:39
, like should this guy even be a judge ? I mean they could
18:41
disbar him . They could
18:43
. They did it to Rudy Giuliani and
18:46
he was the mayor of New York . So
18:49
I mean you could PRODUCERTO
18:52
, you
18:55
could disbar the judge and
18:57
he should be disbarred . I mean so should Leticia
18:59
James I mean the two of them should be
19:01
should be written out of New York on
19:03
a rail and Tartan feathered
19:06
. I mean it's disgusting , it's deplorable
19:08
what they're doing , it's
19:10
absolutely shameful . You
19:13
know , donald Trump built the skyline
19:15
of New York City and this is the
19:17
thanks that he gets , because he's trying to take out
19:19
a loan to build more buildings alone
19:22
. Like that doesn't even make any sense . It's
19:27
fraud , okay , but the bank is
19:29
okay with it , right
19:31
, they're okay with evaluation . Like
19:34
you're sticking your hands where they don't belong
19:36
.
19:38
A decision is expected today . In former
19:40
President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial
19:42
here in New York . Attorney General Leticia James
19:45
accused him of inflating his wealth
19:47
to get better loans and insurance rates
19:49
. Cbs News Alice Gaynor has been covering
19:51
this trial since it started and joins us from
19:53
the newsroom with more .
19:54
Alice Mary . The trial began in October
19:57
. Closing arguments were last month . We heard
19:59
from about 40 witnesses . The former
20:01
president is potentially facing millions
20:03
of dollars in penalties and could also
20:05
be barred from doing business here in New
20:08
York . This is a civil case , not
20:10
criminal , so there is no possibility of
20:12
prison time . A judge is deciding the case
20:14
because juries are not allowed in
20:16
this type of lawsuit .
20:18
Amazing how there's no jury allowed . Number
20:21
one , number two if it was a criminal case
20:23
, they would lock him up and
20:25
throw away the key because he's Donald Trump
20:28
and they're far left lunatics
20:31
. I mean Arthur
20:33
Angaran or whatever
20:35
the judge is , I mean his wife tweeted
20:38
out that Donald Trump should be going to jail
20:40
and all this other stuff . So they're clearly
20:42
hate Donald Trump . He's clearly biased
20:44
. I mean , the decisions
20:47
he made in the case were just absolutely outrageous
20:49
. To put a gag order on
20:51
a former president of the United States why
20:53
so he can't speak during his campaign ? To
20:56
put a gag order on the attorney , the
20:58
one who represents them ? I mean this is
21:01
absolutely ludicrous .
21:03
Before the bench trial began , judge Arthur
21:05
Angaran ruled that former president
21:07
Donald Trump and top execs at the Trump
21:10
Organization committed fraud for years
21:12
, deceiving banks , insurers and
21:14
others by inflating his assets
21:16
and net worth on statements of financial condition
21:19
for 11 years .
21:21
So before the trial even began I
21:25
mean you heard what they said . I mean this is CBS . They're
21:27
not doing Trump any favors Before
21:31
the trial began , before the
21:35
evidence was heard , he
21:37
already ruled that
21:39
they committed fraud for years . Imagine
21:46
having a judge do a ruling before you have your day
21:48
in court .
21:50
That's what happened here In
21:52
order to get better loan terms and other deals
21:54
. To name a few , the size of Trump's
21:57
penthouse at Trump Tower was exaggerated
21:59
by nearly three times its size
22:01
. Mar-a-lago was valued as a
22:03
single residence , but in 2002
22:06
, trump signed over any and all of their
22:08
rights to develop the property for any
22:10
usage other than club usage . Angaran
22:13
then ordered some of Trump's business licenses
22:16
rescinded , but an appeals court
22:18
halted that order . An independent
22:21
monitor agreed upon by both parties
22:23
was ordered to oversee Trump Organization
22:25
operations . That monitor wrote
22:28
to the judge that after 14
22:30
months , I have identified certain deficiencies
22:32
in the financial information that I have reviewed
22:34
, including disclosures that are either
22:37
incomplete , present results inconsistently
22:39
and or contain errors . Trump
22:42
attorneys shot back in a letter to the
22:44
judge that the monitor quote points only
22:46
to minor and immaterial discrepancies
22:48
and that further oversight is
22:50
unwarranted and will only unjustly
22:53
enrich the monitor , as she engages
22:55
in some Javert-like quest against
22:57
the defendants , referencing the inspector
23:00
and Victor Hugo's fictional Les Miserables
23:02
. During the trial , the former president
23:04
, his two eldest sons , eric and Donald Trump
23:06
Jr , and former Trump Organization
23:08
CFO Alan Weisselberg and former
23:11
controller Jeffrey McConnie all took the
23:13
stand . They denied any wrongdoing
23:15
with Trump , arguing his financial statements
23:17
undervalued his assets and
23:19
that they had disclaimers on them . Attorneys
23:22
for the defendants argued there are no victims
23:24
in this case and none of the banks or
23:26
others complained . New York's anti-fraud
23:29
law requires the attorney general show
23:31
there were repeated fraudulent or illegal
23:33
acts . New York Attorney General Letitia
23:36
James had asked that Trump be banned
23:38
from doing business in New York and pay
23:40
$370 million , equal
23:43
to what she said was saved interest and
23:45
other ill-gotten gains . During
23:47
closing arguments attorneys explained more
23:49
than 168 million was for
23:51
saved interest on four commercial real estate
23:54
loans , more than 139 million
23:56
in profit for the sale of his old post office
23:58
property , 60 million in profit
24:00
for the sale of Ferry Point and 2.5
24:03
million in bonuses paid to Weisselberg
24:05
and McConnie .
24:07
Who is he paying ? Who is he paying ? Who's
24:11
he paying ? Is he paying the bank or is he paying
24:13
the state ? The
24:18
bank doesn't even want it . The bank is okay
24:20
with the deal . They're like no , this is a good deal .
24:24
So before the trial the judge ruled they can make .
24:26
And the bank can make any decision that they want
24:28
to make . The bank can say I'm going to give you a loan
24:30
at this percentage
24:32
rate . Now there's certain regulations where
24:35
they can't exceed a percentage rate and
24:37
they vary by state when it comes to loans , but
24:42
they can kind of do whatever they want to
24:44
do . I mean , it's their money .
24:48
Admitted fraud . What's left to decide ? Six
24:50
claims in the AG's lawsuit , which include allegations
24:52
of conspiracy , falsifying business records
24:54
and insurance fraud . Defense attorneys
24:57
indicated they would be appealing the decision if
24:59
the judge rules against them . Live in
25:01
the newsroom Alice Gainer , cbs 2 News .
25:03
Alice , thank you , when , when today's decision .
25:08
They're going to appeal it and by the time
25:10
the appeal even comes through
25:12
, donald Trump is most likely
25:14
going to be president
25:17
of the United States as
25:19
it sits now , as it is
25:21
today , and
25:24
they're all in trouble . This is why they're panicking
25:26
. I mean , they are beside themselves
25:28
and
25:31
they know that they're in a lot of trouble
25:34
if Donald Trump becomes president of the
25:36
United States again . So they're doing everything
25:38
that they can to stop him . But it's not working . It's
25:41
actually working in the opposite direction . Joe
25:44
Biden is a disaster . He's an absolute
25:46
disaster , and
25:50
he's going nowhere . He's not going to get
25:52
reelected . He's not . He's
25:54
at the lowest approval rating of any president
25:56
in American history running for
25:59
reelection . Trump
26:03
is destroying him in
26:05
the polls . I mean just obliterating
26:09
him . It's not even fair , and
26:11
rightfully so .
26:16
Let me just read a little bit from the summary from Judge
26:18
Ngoran's decision , because I think it's worth just
26:21
reading it out loud In order to borrow more and
26:23
at lower rates . Defendants submitted blatantly
26:25
false financial data to the accountants
26:28
, resulting in fraudulent financial
26:30
statements . When confronted at trial
26:32
with the statements , defendants fact and expert
26:34
witnesses simply denied reality
26:37
and defendants failed to accept responsibility
26:40
or to impose internal controls
26:42
to prevent future recurrences
26:45
, as detailed herein . This court
26:47
now finds defendants liable , continues
26:50
the appointment of an independent monitor , orders
26:53
the installation of an independent director
26:55
of compliance and limits defendants'
26:57
right to conduct business in New York
27:00
for a few years . But
27:02
, lisa , this is not a lifetime ban .
27:04
It's not a lifetime ban , nor is it the ban
27:06
on his participation in the real estate
27:08
industry that the Attorney General sought
27:10
, but what it does do is recognize
27:13
the harm to the public . You
27:15
know , donald Trump , throughout this trial , kept
27:17
shouting about various defenses
27:19
that he had .
27:21
What harm to the public ? How was the public harmed
27:23
?
27:24
His favorite ones was that nobody was harmed and the banks
27:26
loved him and everybody got repaid . And
27:28
judging Goron in this decision is wholesale
27:31
rejecting that . Saying timely and
27:33
total repayment of loans does not
27:35
extinguish the harm that false statements inflict
27:37
on the marketplace Indeed , the common excuse
27:40
that everybody does . It is all
27:42
the more reason to strive for honesty and transparency
27:44
and to be vigilant in enforcing the rules
27:46
here . Despite the false financial statements
27:49
, it's undisputed that they have
27:51
made all required payments on
27:53
time . The next group of lenders
27:55
to receive bogus statements might not
27:57
be so lucky .
28:04
There you have it . I do not believe
28:07
that Donald Trump will be paying $355
28:09
billion . I don't . I
28:12
think it's going to go to the appeals court . I think it might even
28:14
go to the Supreme Court . Yes , it's a civil
28:16
case . A lot of the stuff is
28:18
going to go to the Supreme Court and we'll
28:20
see what
28:22
comes back with all of it . But
28:25
the notion that you can't enter , I mean this is
28:27
how New York is . I'm from New York , born
28:29
and raised . I'm out of there . Now I'm in Florida
28:32
. Thank God , thank God . This
28:35
is how it is . Total control over everything
28:38
. I mean it's absolutely asinine
28:41
Just how much
28:43
. I mean you can't even make a decision with
28:45
another person without the government
28:47
being involved and New
28:49
York's going down the toilet . I
28:52
mean nobody wants to be there . I don't want to be there . I
28:55
mean people were flocking in ridiculous
28:58
numbers to states like Florida
29:00
and North Carolina and
29:03
because they can't afford the taxes or
29:06
they don't want to deal with the over total
29:08
control . And now all
29:11
of these business developers are going to be
29:13
like , I'll just develop
29:15
somewhere else . I mean it's not hard
29:17
, I'm not opening
29:19
a business in New York . I'd be like , nah , I'm
29:22
good , I'll go somewhere where they
29:24
want me . I'll take
29:26
my , my billion dollar
29:28
buildings and I'll build them
29:30
in a city where
29:32
they want me . You know how many
29:35
governors and how many mayors
29:37
will give tax breaks and
29:40
so many benefits to people
29:42
who want to build skyscrapers
29:45
in their cities ? All
29:48
of them , all of them . Oh
29:50
, you're going to build this skyscraper , which
29:53
means you're going to give us a ton of jobs for
29:55
our construction . Then you're going to
29:57
build all these offices . You're going to bring all these jobs
30:00
here , like if a city bank wants to build a skyscraper
30:02
and wants to move their corporate headquarters
30:05
, they're like hell , yeah , bring all those jobs here . Those
30:08
are all tax paying people who
30:10
we love , would love to live
30:12
in our city and you can build whatever
30:14
you want , yeah . However , your little heart desires
30:16
Not New York . They
30:19
don't want you . They want
30:21
a bunch of illegal immigrants , though . That's
30:23
okay , that's
30:26
fine . They want to use the taxpayer money to
30:28
provide housing for them , but they don't want
30:31
people like Donald Trump building
30:33
houses . Thank you very much for tuning
