1:59:26 So we can do, I have a quick three-parter from NPR which is very NPRish about the tech companies and AI. And then we could do 3x3 or 3x3 first whatever you want. It's not dealer choice. Well this 3x3 is a minor a minor one, except that in fact I'm always amused by the fact that nobody wants to... none of the mainstream media wants to discuss the fact that most of this case in New York is fraud case. He didn't defraud anybody! Nobody brought the case forward. It's great and and the biggest element of it was what they consider a misstatement of the value of Mar-a-Lago which is in Florida
2:00:13 which is in Florida, which has got nothing to do with anything but it had to do with his business doing dealings in New York. And he says Mar-a-Lago, which is a monstrous facility in Palm Beach, is worth one point something billion and the judge refuses to accept that because if you say that's a lie! It's worth 18 million, which is like as house in San Francisco and so I'm thinking This 3x3 would be interesting to see if we can spot somebody actually bringing that up. The never-ending... That's right, this is where we check them out. The three big networks plus. Is there a plus? Yes yes you have a plus You've got Turkish radio and television plusing today. Well it looks like yeah. TRT, TRT Alright let's listen to the Nat Pops, the human pops Let's see how it goes as we compare
2:01:14 big machine of news. ABC Tonight's ruling strikes at the heart of Donald Trump's image, carefully crafted for decades The former president fined a staggering $355 million and banned from doing business for three years in New York the city where he built his fortune and made his name The judge determining Trump flagrantly overvalued his signature properties in order to get favorable bank loans and insurance rates things everyday Americans would never get away with Donald Trump may have authored the art of the deal, but he perfected the art of the steal. Today! Whoa! I hope everyone had that quote The court once again ruled in our favor
2:01:56 and in favor of every hard-working American who plays by the rules. The most high profile examples of fraud, the Trump Tower penthouse. The Trump Organization inflated its value by some $200 million declaring it was 30 thousand square feet but Trump signed a document certifying it's 1 third that size 11 thousand square feet And while Trump claimed his Mar-a-Lago resort was worth up to $600 million, its true assessed value was no more than 27 million. Today Judge Arthur N. Gorin writing Trump's complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological calling Trump incapable of admitting the error of his ways The former president attended 10 days at the trial
2:02:37 This trial is ridiculous. And on the witness stand he attacked Judge Ngorin to his face, complaining this is a very unfair trial I hope the public is watching In his ruling today the judge knocked Trump's testimony for long irrelevant speeches adding his refusal to answer questions directly or in some cases at all severely compromised his credibility Moments ago, Trump lashing out. It's a very sad day for the country. A crooked New York state judge just ruled that I have to pay a fine of $355 million dollars for having built the perfect company Great cash great buildings great everything Question when so this of course goes to appeal which is just cost more money
2:03:21 Does he have to pay the fine right away or does it wait until appeal? No, of course not. Alright alright so it's just a pain in the butt. So this is another black woman who was pushed to the forefront. This Letitia James she's gonna take the fall for this too you can see it coming down Main Street Well she's very cocky! So go to NBC Tonight, a crushing blow to the Trump family's real estate empire. A judge in New York handing down a more than $350 million civil penalty against Donald Trump plus interest for lying about his wealth for financial gain barring him from obtaining loans in the state for three years banning Mr. Trump's adult sons from running any company for two years ordering they pay more than four million dollars each Today justice has been served
2:04:19 Today we prove that no one is above the law. These Chinese are coming in over the border. They're above the law, that's who is above the law. And slamming the suit brought by New York's Democratic Attorney General. These are radical left Democrats they're lunatics and it's election interfering if I weren't running none of this stuff would have ever happened With no jury at trial todays ruling left solely in the hands of Judge Arthur N Goren who decided the heart of the state's fraud case months ago finding the Trump family wrongly exaggerated the value of some of its most iconic properties on financial statements to receive better deals on bank loans. This trial was to sort out the penalty Mr. Trump and his adult children all took the witness stand in hopes of fending off a decision with massive consequences for their real estate portfolio and family legacy
2:05:14 I became president because of the grant. Mr Trump's defense team arguing there was no victim, the banks were repaid and testified they did not rely on Mr Trump's valuations The former President's attorneys had implored the judge not to impose a fine akin to the corporate death penalty But today the judge writing quote Donald Trump is not Bernie Madoff yet defendants are incapable of admitting the error of their ways Instead they adopt a see no evil hear. No, evil speak. No evil posture that the evidence belies I thought that they literally compared him to Bernie
2:05:53 Bernie Madoff in a different stage. I thought i heard that! I don't remember that either Yeah, yeah...I thought it was Trump-Madoff... Listen to this man! Listen to this! Hold on a second.. I was sitting in court and we were just leaving you know everything was wrapping up MSNBC Judge and Warren right at the end of the Attorney General had wrapped up their arguments And Judge Ngorin had one question. He looked at the lawyer for the Attorney General and he says, how does this case compare to Bernie Madoff? Wow! And I went wow. He literally did that
2:06:41 That's pretty poor reporting. What? From an NBC product?! I'm surprised! These clips are too long, these are all almost two minutes. Yes well i will...I am going to rebuke The Jones, the Jones Brothers. The Jones Boys for providing clips that are too long! Well especially for a 3x3 it's just too long and they're... is CBS the best one? They're hard to cut down on yeah but let's listen to the last two and then we'll be done Tonight, a potentially crushing blow to Donald Trump's business empire and bank account. The former president ordered to pay more than $350 million dollars and banned from running a business in New York or applying for loans in the state for three years
2:07:31 His two sons each fined $4 million and barred from doing business in New York for two years, thrusting the leadership of the family company into peril. Being prohibited from doing business in your home state or the state where you have so many properties and so many business activities is an absolutely devastating sanction. Trump lawyer Alina Haba called the verdict a manifest injustice and said an appeal battle is coming The former president reacted late today. It's a very sad day for, in my opinion the country He needs to, okay I don't know why or is this the only statement he made because he made a statement in the hallway. The acoustics are bad it's just not good It's not good! He needs to do better micing on his statements New York State Judge just ruled and he's crooked as you can get And lot of people expected something like this but not for the amount In his ruling judge Arthur Gordon
2:08:27 Unless that was edited. Trump's comment, the way he said it was... The judge ruled that he was as crooked as you can get! A very funny way of putting it. Oh, oh, that's interesting. The former president reacted late today It is a very sad day for in my opinion the country A New York State judge just ruled and he's crooked as you can get. And a lot of people expected something like this, but not for the amount. In his ruling Judge Arthur N. Gorin said of Trump and the other defendants their complete lack of remorse borders on pathological
2:09:04 This whole thing is very unfair. That's really psychological, this CBS report now they're pulling something from like the Barbara Walters interview? This is good! On Trump himself who took the stand two times the judge said his refusal to answer the questions directly or in some cases at all severely compromised his credibility Judge Angoran had already ruled that Trump and his sons and company executives committed years of business fraud fraudulently inflating their assets to boost the former president's net worth, including his Trump Tower penthouse and Mar-a-Lago exaggerating its value by as much as 2300 percent. Today's penalty caps a three month trial in a lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James The scale and the scope of Donald Trump's fraud is staggering And so too is his ego
2:09:58 and his belief that the rules do not apply to him. She's been watching Billions too much, she thinks she is Chuck now from Billions Attorney General Well you did catch the weakness of all these reports which is only ABC used a quote where she says it's art in the deal as the art of the steel Yeah Which was good catch but none of the other networks played it so let us play the Turkish This shows you that the international media is just as bad as ours. He's a leading presidential candidate for the Republican Party, but Donald Trump's campaigning schedule has taken a backseat to courtroom appearances and legal challenges. He claims the cases are politically motivated
2:10:45 These are corrupt people and they're using this as weaponization against a political opponent who's up a lot in the polls, and always will be. On Friday, a New York judge ordered Donald Trump pay $355 million dollars in penalties for defrauding lenders for more than a decade I don't think I heard of single one of the three OG 3x3s mentioning that this will be up for appeal Did anyone even mention that? Not in these, but I've heard it. Yeah, you'd think they would mention instead of conclude that he's out 350 million.
2:11:24 The former president has also been banned from doing business in New York for three years. His sons and co-defendants were also hit with fines and two year bans on doing business in the state, but the judge stopped short of cancelling Trump's business licenses which some say could have ended his business empire. Empire! The massive penalty is a result of a civil lawsuit brought by New York's Attorney General Justice has been served today we prove that no one is above the law No matter how rich, powerful or politically connected you are everyone must play by the same rules.
2:12:00 Prosecutors say he lied about the value of his assets, like a Trump Tower apartment reported at nearly three times its actual size. Trump has denied any wrongdoing. These are radical left Democrats they're lunatics and it's election interfering so I just want to thank you for being here we'll appeal will be successful oh there it is The civil fraud case could deal a major blow to Trump's real estate empire It comes after he was ordered to pay just over $83 million in a separate defamation case. It's just filling time at this point, that's all they're doing is filling time. They've got some Trump news! Yeah it all does is put Trump on the front. Everyone wants him to be president everybody wants him in there except NATO but even NATO like okay okay we'll pay the 2%
