So the New York state Attorney general has just announced a rather lengthy and
detailed layout of the lawsuit that
she is putting against Donald Trump former president.
Some of this is really inside baseball unless it's your tax dollars in New York.
And some people may even accuse it of being political because we're 48 days away
from the midterm elections.
And both presidents, the current and
the past are certainly being looked at to help candidates out.
So we'll see how this plays out.
We're certainly going to cover it and we'll bring you highlights as they happen.
But the big headline in all of this is the lawsuit by the state of New York today
just announced by Leticia James.
Let's move on.
>> I'm sure you would love to move on and not focus on that.
Harris Faulkner again, Harris Faulkner is not an opinion person on Fox,
that's what they say.
She's a straight news person is not about opinion, it's not about spin or
narrative is just doing the news.
We'll come back with highlights.
Wait, Leticia James is talking right now you just go back to right now but
she cut away to say things like baseball.
It's kind of boring numbers and figures and stuff.
Who understands that also the election is really close and
I know what you're thinking Trump's not running, doesn't matter.
People like Trump.
So I don't know for a lot of reasons this just feels really illegitimate.
I'm straight news, Mondale what do you think?
>> I think anything the president does is political.
They should have covered this.
This woman has five Emmys for Bennett had been an outstanding newscast.
What was outstanding about this?
You carry company line, this is opinionated.
You think it may be inside a baseball, that's your opinion.
You think it may be political at your opinion.
Let's hear what the attorney general of New York said about the previous president
being in the lawsuit, not just him, all of his grown kids minus the one with sense.
[LAUGH] Minus the one with sense I think it's ridiculous
like this is how transparent that Fox is not news.
Fox is not news and we shouldn't even pretend at this point that even
in the daytime when there's no so called opinions going on.
Fox is still trying to way to scale in a way to benefit Republicans and for
the life of me, I can't understand that, but for
the same [LAUGH] It's more money for them.
I have no clue.
It requires less thinking.
So I'm flabbergasted that Faulkner who say she's real
serious news behaved in this manner.
And especially when you consider they only gave it 45 seconds and other networks gave
it the full 38 minutes plus talked about it and made it the news of their day.
So the lie that she told is that Fox will continue to cover this story.
No they will not.
They will. The night crew will get to it and and
talk trash about New York call it liberal Communist whatever they'll say.
But they'll try to discredit this argument just like Donald Trump trying to discredit
the department of justice argument.
>> Yeah, no you're 100% right.
You're not gonna hear about it until the spin begins and
then that's going to be and the important you have to do both on the right the spin.
But also don't give them the facts that way they have nothing mentally to go into
the spin with to resist it.
They just have to accept whatever it is that Hannity or
Gutfeld says because they don't know the facts of it.
It is a quarter billion dollar lawsuit with very specific allegations of fraud.
You cannot hear all of that and not be worried.
So you can't hear that.
We can't have you hearing that.
And so we're just gonna move on.
She's got five Emmys, she might well have earned them.
I have no idea.
I don't know what they're for by the way we're criticizing her.
She's still probably among the best people on Fox news because that's not
much competition.
But yeah like she's not going to address the specific obvious over valuations of
property the specific lies about whether a property is rent controlled or not.
These are not things of, well, evaluation changes from time to time.
This is a deliberate attempt to defraud insurance companies and banks and
that's why they're not gonna actually dive into the facts.
They're gonna protect Donald Trump on both the opinion side and
the supposed straight news side.
Okay.
I'm sorry, did you have another thought?
>> No, I think you're spot on.
There's nothing else to add about Trump except for I wanna know how many decent,
dignified news anchors go to Fox to sell their soul.
I remember when I was in young boy in high school, I used to be on the local news.
She was in Greenville.
Greenville is the largest city close to Enfield North Carolina where I grew up.
So I remember seeing her on TV covering the news in a way that I thought was fair
and balanced.
[LAUGH] Now she's on Fox doing with Fox too.
So.
>> Yeah, my guess would be that Fox pay is better than the local news that she was.
That would be my guess.
But I don't know, I'm gonna go with you John.
Yeah and really fast 11 final thing.
There can be a happy medium between 40 seconds and 38 minutes.
We didn't play the full 38 minutes of it or
whatever because they'll be like half our show but 40 seconds is obviously too low.
That's crazy.
And by the way, like she can have opinions.
She can express opinions, but then don't tell me it's straight news.
I don't pretend that the damage report is straight news because that would be
ridiculous.
Think about how many mocking voices I do.
But you can't have your objectivity and eat it too.
You need to choose a lane.
