	If you want to join us, I I I gotta tell you something.
	It should take all of your breath out of your lungs when you watch and witness what is going on in New York today.
	And I just happen to know a lot about real estate because I just follow it, invest in it.
	I'm interested in it, and I like it.
	I just I find it fascinating.
	And I know some of this is kind of hard for people to understand, you know, when you when you hear the prices at a out of Palm Beach, Florida, but I mean that's what kind of makes it like wow, you can't believe the the massive amount of wealth that so many people have.
	Some of it not surprising because some you know some of the biggest names that you know, but these waterfront properties in Palm Beach go for insane amounts of money.
	And this gets to what is you know at the heart of this.
	What has the Judiciary Committee been investigating?
	What have we been talking about so often on radio and TV?
	I keep saying we don't have equal justice, we don't have equal application of our laws currently in this country.
	That makes that that is a very, very dangerous scenario for the entire country.
	It just is.
	You know, let me let me give you a couple of examples, recent examples that that you would you know instantly relate to to just to get a sense.
	And I know it's hard for you know people to wrap their minds around this this colossal amount of money that these properties have are worth down there and what they are selling for.
	And the demand is far greater than the availability down in Palm Beach.
	And I talked to a number of Palm Beach Realty people that I that I know very, very well.
	You know, one example is you've heard of Estee Lauder, uh billionaire William Louder, you know, just recently listed, what, back in March, uh two parcels of ocean front land in Palm Beach.
	How much you think that costs?
	Just dirt in front of the ocean.
	Nice view.
	200 million dollars just for dirt.
	That's only that does not include the intercoastal side of Palm Beach.
	Many of these waterfront properties have the intercoastal side and it has or and the ocean side.
	Those are the most expensive.
	That's what Mar-a-Lago has.
	And anyway, i i uh it was so interesting just a little while ago, uh uh you have the Palm Beach assessor had come out, you know, and pointed out that whatever tax valuation is put on a home is in no way any assessment is in no way reflective of what the true market value of a home is.
	Now, why is this important?
	Now they're accusing Donald Trump, the Trump organization, of purposefully inflating valuations of properties for the purpose of getting better terms on loans and better better terms on uh on insurance.
	Okay.
	Uh now you you gotta first, you know, skip over the provision of every contract, which is very, very common, and that is that they they have provisions in these in these deals.
	In other words, it it it's a it's a waiver, it's a disclaimer.
	And in the Trump organization's disclaimer forms, if they put forward, if they're seeking a loan and maybe they're putting up property for as collateral, it literally says, do not trust or do not go by our valuations.
	It is imperative that you use your own valuations.
	Now, if you're going to lend large sums of money to people, and by the way, a lot of wealthy people, the way they get wealthier is they leverage, you know, certain things that they own for the purpose of having more cash available so that they can build their little empires bigger.
	That's just the way business works.
	So it's not uncommon.
	But in terms of where the ultimate responsibility lies, the fiduciary responsibility lies with the lending institution or whatever insurance company you're dealing with, they've got to come up with the proper valuation.
	That responsibility is on them, not on the person that's seeking the loan or seeking the insurance.
	So, you know, on the on the on the surface of this, it is a dead case, dead in the water.
	Now, the great irony in all of this is this judge who unilaterally just ruled against the Trump organization and claimed that Donald Trump is guilty of fraud.
	This is the case brought by New York Attorney General Letisha James, is making that allegation.
	Here's the problem.
	The guy in his ruling made a valuation, determination about Mar-a-Lago.
	Some of you have been to Mar-a-Lago.
	I've been there done interviews.
	I don't hang out at Mar-a-Lago.
	I I've been there a number of times to do interviews with the president at Mar-a-Lago.
	Um, but uh, you know, and then so here's the irony here.
	They have two ocean front streets in particular that are of extremely high value.
	North Ocean Boulevard and South Ocean Boulevard.
	Okay, just to if you can look on a map, you can take a look where Mar-a-Lago is.
	Okay, Mar-a-Lago happens to have one of the best locations.
	And on it just so happens they have the intercoastal side as part of this estate property.
	I I don't know, what is the total acreage on this?
	As many how much?
	17.
	17 acres.
	It's insane.
	All right.
	If you look at the I just told you about the SD Lauder property, okay, one was a one arc one-acre parcel, another was 1.8 acres, 200 million dollars for dirt.
	Nothing on it.
	I don't know if it sold yet.
	I don't know if it didn't sell yet.
	That's the asking price.
	That's what that's what prices are now kind of going for.
	Rush passed away.
	Years ago, he was one of the early people to move to Florida, Southern Command, lived down in Palm Beach, and he did it in large part because New York kicked him out with burdensome taxes regulation.
	I I think his property at the time, I think he paid three and a half or four million dollars for a very low, recently sold for nearly 160 million dollars.
	Just to give you an idea, because these are not numbers that normal people understand.
	And and I've driven these blocks and know them well.
	Um I've got uh basically a shack in comparison to you know what we're talking about here.
	It cracks me up.
	And even that for me was expensive.
	Nowhere near the prices of these things, trust me.
	Uh let's put it this way, single digits in in terms of money.
	Um, and that's just the market rate, and it keeps getting higher.
	Because so many people are moving down to Florida, and so many wealthy people, private equity people, you know, the real, you know, the real, real top one percent of people, the billionaires that I mean, it's a who's who of names down there that live in these properties.
	You know, a lot of a lot of famous people live down there.
	And and people that you know have made a lot of money.
	Um, and anyway, just to give you a sense, the judge valued Mar-a-Lago at $18 million.
	I mean, okay, let me give you some perspective.
	Along that entire street, even homes that have a street between the ocean and the home and the estate, I'm talking about estate homes.
	Even between they're going for a minimum of a hundred and fifty million to two hundred million dollars.
	A few years ago, Ken Griffin, what is he with Citadel, I think?
	Yeah, okay.
	Um, he decided to go knocking on doors, and there were five ocean front homes, estates that he wanted to buy.
	This now this is going back a couple years ago.
	If he didn't touch it, he could almost double his money on every one of those homes.
	He paid a hundred million dollars for each of them.
	It ends up he wanted to knock them down, all five of them.
	Very wealthy guy, crazy to me, crazy to most of you, but that's what he's gonna do and build a home for himself and a home for his mother.
	That's what I've read.
	I don't know the guy, never met the guy.
	I've heard only nice things about him, don't know him.
	Um so that's gonna be a billion dollar dollar plus property.
	And no matter how much the uh how expensive those homes are, it's gonna be worth hundreds of millions more than he paid for it.
	Just, you know, because just what the the price of land has gone up to.
	Now, can this continue?
	I don't know, with baby boomers retiring and New Jersey and Illinois and droves, yeah, probably could.
	So for the judge to come in with such a ridiculously low valuation of Mar-a-Lago.
	So I started calling some people that I know down in Palm Beach.
	Give me an idea what you think, you know, if you were going to give an appraisal of Mar-a-Lago.
	Um, and I said on TV this morning, I was uh the low off the top of my head would have been 400 million dollars, anywhere from there to a billion.
	Donald Trump thinks it's worth a billion.
	And you know, if you wanted to sell it today, I mean, they literally asking me, well, how quickly do you want to what you would need to sell this?
	They were asking me, you know, that kind of question.
	I'm like, well, yeah, let's say you need to sell a quick yeah, easily I could sell it tomorrow for six hundred million dollars.
	Easy.
	Easy.
	How cra by the way, I need to get in in that real estate business.
	What am I doing in this crazy business?
	And but that's how much they all they're all telling me the same number.
	They're all in that range.
	They said, yeah, if you're willing to hold out, that's a billion-dollar property.
	Billion dollars.
	Now, I know it sounds crazy.
	And when you look at what Donald Trump paid for it, I think he paid 10 or 12 million.
	You know, I and I I mean it's it's just it ended up being a phenomenal, but it's like hitting the lotto, man.
	That's like I don't know how to explain it.
	But for the judge, the judge is guilty of doing the very thing that he's blaming Donald Trump and the Trump organization for.
	And all of this is led by an attorney general in New York that ran on a platform to go after one man Donald Trump to go after one family, the Trump family.
	Here's Letitia James as she is out and about campaigning for attorney general.
	I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president.
	What our fundamental rights are at stake.
	I believe that the president of these United States can be indicted for criminal offenses.
	Oh, we're gonna definitely do we're gonna be a real pay.
	I know my name personally.
	That man in the White House.
	Who can't go a day without threatening our fundamental rights?
	Yes, we need to focus on Donald Trump and his abuses.
	We need to follow his money.
	We need to find out where he's laundered money.
	We need to find out whether or not he's engaged in conspiracy.
	It's important that everyone understand that the days of Donald Trump are coming to an end.
	I look forward to going into the office of attorney general every day.
	Defending your rights and then going home.
	Now here's another side of this whole thing.
	So you have a prosecutor with that promise and now fulfilling a campaign promise.
	Now you might think, well, somebody had to get harmed here.
	No, there's not one banking institution that Donald Trump did business with that's complaining.
	He paid back all of his loans with all the interest owed.
	They probably made, you know, millions and millions and millions of dollars in interest, you know, paid all his insurance Payments, there's no one hurt here.
	Nobody.
	And now what they want to do is they want to come in and take and put this under control of a receiver that the family will have no control over their own properties.
	And uh and and as a and then they want to find the family 250 million dollars.
	This has nothing to do with this.
	Let me tell you what this all is.
	This is all politically motivated.
	All of it.
	And I will tell you, if this country has our justice system this corrupt, this politicized, this weaponized, that I am telling you you don't have justice in your country.
	You don't have the United States that we all thought we had, knew, loved, admired, believed in.
	Where Lady Justice is blind, where equal justice under the law, you know, was paramount.
	Equal, equal application of our laws were paramount.
	And just like the four indictments, never before in history has that happened to any presidential candidate.
	What is the goal here?
	What is the goal of those people trying to invoke the 14th Amendment?
	By the way, last used in 1918.
	What is the purpose of trying to keep him off the ballot?
	And what is the purpose to get a conviction?
	It's all the president was right today.
	It's all about election interference.
	This is a very dangerous moment.
	I think every appraiser and realtor down in Palm Beach, California needs to put out publicly their valuation of that property.
	Let's see how many come in under uh a half a billion.
	Let's see how many.

	So Delaware, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
	All right, now Linda's obsessed with uh doing her real estate research.
	She found a lot of good stuff.
	There's one two-acre plot of land filled with trees, five minutes from Mar a Lango on the market, 150 million dollars.
	A 2.3 acre plot of land.
	You know, again, close to Mar-a-Lago.
	200 million dollars.
	This is, and by the way, we were wrong.
	It's 20 acres according to this article.
	Mar-a-Lago.
	I was wrong about Ken Griffin, too.
	He bought these properties, these four it was four, not five.
	Maybe he got a fifth later.
	He paid $1209.6 million.
	I mean, that there I know these numbers sound nuts.
	It doesn't matter.
	But this is a judge that used tax assessment, which in no way, even according to the tax assessors and professionals in Palm Beach, they felt compelled to write the judge and say, excuse me, your valuation is off dramatically.
	You don't know what the hell you're guilty of what you're accusing Trump of.
	You can't always believe what the other side claims.
	That's why there's the Shaw and Hannity Show.
	All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
	Toll for your numbers 800, 941 Sean.
	If you want to be a part of the program.
	We got a lot of ground to cover today.
	Laura Trump later in the program.
	You know, sadly, her husband, President's son, Eric, President's other son, Don Jr., they're being dragged into all of this.
	I'm telling you, you people, you better pay attention.
	I'm going to point out all the all the differences in in terms of the lack of equal application of our laws and equal justice under our laws in a second.
	Uh when Mike Lindell invented my pillow, it was over 20 years ago.
	They just celebrated the 20th anniversary.
	It had everything you'd ever want in a pillow.
	I mean, then he finally is only recently tweaked the original pillow by using new technology.
	And then MyPillow 2.0 has the patented adjustable fill of the original MyPillow, but now it has a fabric that is made with a temperature regulating thread.

	King size 10 bucks more.
	Or you could just call and mention my name, 800, 919 6090.
	Now we've got to look at, okay, Hannity, you're talking about valuations.
	I I mean Linda's is like just done a quick, you know, you did like a mini, oh my gosh, if I need to know uh the price of Palm Beach real estate.
	It's shocking, isn't it?
	I mean, you know, of an acre of land, 150 million dollars, two point three acres, two hundred million is just dirt.
	Is the judge.
	Yeah.
	What a dope.
	I'm like, you're in charge?
	Really?
	Have you ever used Google?
	Even once?
	Uh seriously, that's all it took.
	I mean, it's just it's just silly.
	I mean, to be fair, I use DuckDuckGo because I don't trust Google.
	But having said that, I mean it's just trust Bing.
	Sometimes.
	I'm more of a brave duck duck go kind of gal.
	I never heard of Duck DuckGo.
	It's heard of you.
	What it has?
	Just decent.
	Well, every every every other, you know, search engine has my name, just Google away.
	But I'm just saying this is the guy that's overseeing this case, and he's has a valuation of 18 million.
	I mean, it's it's just it's silly.
	It is the very thing that he is accusing Donald Trump of.
	Now to get Donald Trump criminally, and and don't doubt this is all politically motivated.
	We know it's politically motivated.
	I just played the attorney general in New York.
	With all due respect to The Attorney General.
	She ought not be running on a platform to go after one human being, one person, one family, one organization, and then following up on it with a vengeance and then gets a judge that is absolutely clueless about Palm Beach.
	That's a lot of free time, Sean.
	There's not a lot of crime in New York.
	Oh no, it's nothing else to do.
	It's like Mayberry.
	No, it's Mayberry, USA.
	Yeah, safe out there.
	Uh and you know, it wouldn't have taken a lot for the judge to actually why didn't the judge call the assessor?
	If he's gonna make a ruling like that.
	If he's gonna if he's gonna say, oh, like Donald Trump says, it's worth, you know, 400 million dollars.
	Uh uh, I'm gonna find out what it's really worth 18 million.
	18 million.
	I I don't even think you could get a parking space at Mar-a-Lago for eighteen million dollars at this point.
	I mean, and it does have a ton of parking.
	It's got a whole beach club.
	I mean, you got a historical property here.
	It was owned by the what was the name?
	Um a woman that used to Marjorie in your packet.
	What Marjorie Post is it?
	Uh I forgot.
	Used to own it.
	Trump bought it, you know, years ago.
	They have a beach club on one side.
	Um, it is his has historical status.
	It is it is zoned residential, but has club Marjorie Merriweather Post.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Donated the hundred and twenty-eight Palm Beach Mansion to the U.S. government.
	Mm-hmm.
	That was a different property.
	And in 1927, at a cost of seven million.
	Oh.
	In 27.
	All right.
	So now just think about when I say we don't have equal justice for application of our laws.
	Let's look at the rate at Mar Lago, shall we?
	Let's look at that rate.
	Remember, the FBI had access.
	They had access to the room where all these so-called documents were.
	And they were in the room.
	And the only thing they said, would you mind putting another padlock on the on the door?
	And they did.
	And there's nothing that day from stopping them from getting those documents.
	Whatever they thought was inappropriate shouldn't be there.
	Why didn't they take it with them?
	You know, now we're learning that the DOJ overruled the FBI.
	And the FBI agents involved didn't want to raid Mar-a Lago.
	The FBI agents said, No, why don't you let the attorneys work it out like we normally do?
	Didn't happen.
	Well, then we get to compare that with Hillary Clinton.
	And we now know that she had top secret classified information on servers that we now know were hacked by some of our top foreign adversaries.
	And as a matter of fact, she had more information on her servers than Donald Trump and the documents found at Mar-a-Lago.
	Why didn't they raid her Chappaqua home?
	Why didn't they raid the home of Joe Biden?
	The many homes of the senator, the poorest guy in the Senate, once self-proclaimed.
	Uh on a senator's salary and now has a beachfront home.
	Amazing.
	Why when Hillary Clinton deleted 33,000 emails?
	Why wasn't, you know, and used bleach pit and had devices destroyed with hammers and SIM cards removed?
	Where's the you know outrage and the charge of obstruction?
	Isn't a big part of the Mar-a-Lago case?
	Whether or not Donald Trump may have, quote, ordered that video tape, surveillance tapes be destroyed, but they weren't destroyed.
	Hillary's was destroyed, but no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute.
	Nobody in that DOJ would dare raid Hillary's property.
	And sure enough, you know, nothing happens to Hillary.
	And Hillary to this day, does anything happen to the fact that she paid for a dirty Russian disinformation dossier?
	And she's still pushing this.
	She actually said last week, you know, they might do it again, the Russians and Trump.
	I'm like, she's out of her mind.
	Talk about election denialism.
	He's not a legitimately elected president.
	How many Democrats said that over and over again?
	Um, so you got to look at is that sound like equal justice to you under the law?
	Or was she given preferential treatment?
	And what about the Clinton Foundation?
	And what about all the other financial endeavors of the Clintons?
	Uh was that equal justice?
	No.
	Um, and then you got the case of Joe Biden.
	They had top secret classified documents right there sitting in that garage where that beautiful stingray was.
	Uh was there a raid on Joe's home in Delaware?
	No.
	Nobody raided that garage.
	Uh was there a raid at the U Penn Biden Center where they also found top secret classified documents?
	No.
	What about the University of Delaware where they found more top secret classified documents?
	Any raid there?
	No.
	What about the beach home?
	Well, we now know that Joe Biden was given two weeks' notice.
	So we could look in there.
	And they still found a couple of documents in that beach home in Delaware.
	Four locations.
	Nothing happens.
	Is that equal justice?
	You know, you worried about the money that Donald Trump is making.
	Okay.
	Well, I mean he made a good investment down at Mar-a-Lagos, no doubt about it.
	Okay.
	Um did Joe Biden uh take action at vite as vice president?
	Let me give you the timeline.
	Quickly.
	October 2015.
	Official Obama administration policy to give the billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine because after an interagency study, they had determined that Ukraine had made enough progress on the issue of corruption that warranted the new loan guarantees.
	Joe's job as being in charge of Ukraine as part of his job as as vice president was to give them the billion dollars.
	Not leverage the billion dollars, your tax dollars, uh in exchange for a prosecutor being fired.
	And uh but yet we now have learned that five days before he pulled that little stunt of his that he brags about.
	Uh we know that he got on the phone with Hunter, and he got on the home phone with Hunter's friends at Barisma.
	They were in DuPai.
	This is when they desperately needed DC help.
	And sure enough, Joe comes along, the DC help that they needed was to get rid of the prosecutor.
	And son of a bee, they fired that prosecutor within six hours as Joe demanded.
	What is one of the consequences of that decision?
	Hunter, the guy that went on Good Morning America saying he had no experience in energy, oil, gas, coal, Ukraine?
	Yeah, he continued to be paid millions of dollars.
	Well, where's where's equal justice there?
	And we're talking about according to Congresswoman Mace and Congressman Comer, north of fifty million dollars for the Biden family?
	Why did Joe lie then as candidate Joe Biden?
	Why did he lie repeatedly as President Joe Biden that he never had conversations with his son or brother or anybody for that matter regarding foreign business deals?
	Why did we then discover from Devin Archer that, well, he got on the phone at least 20 times that he knows of.
	I don't know how many times that he got on without him having knowledge of it.
	And talk to Hunter and Hunter's business partners.
	According to Congressman Goldman, Democratic Congressman Hack, leftist.
	Well, what were they talking about then?
	Probably just talking, you know, small talk like the weather.
	They're talking about the weather.
	And why was Joe meeting with Russian oligarchs and the son Hunter and Russian oligarchs paying Hunter a fortune and investing a fortune in their real estate ventures and three and a half million dollars from the former first lady of Moscow?
	You know, why other oligarchs?
	Why did Hunter get all this money, the exact amount of money for a new beautiful Porsche sports car?
	Kazakhstan.
	Why did Hunter claim that he was sitting next to Pops?
	I'm sitting here with my father.
	We're trying to figure out why you didn't follow through on your commitment.
	And let me just tell you, between everybody the guy sitting next to me knows of my ability to hold the grudge, you're going to regret not following through.
	That was with CEFC.
	That's a Chinese energy conglomerate.
	What did Hunter do in that particular case?
	You know, but now you have not one, not two, not three, but four criminal trials.
	You know, they couldn't bring this case up before an election cycle in New York as it relates to if they really believe that Donald Trump.
	Well where's the harm party in all of this?
	Considering it is the responsibility, financial fiduciary responsibility of anybody that's lending money to make sure that the money you're about to lend them, especially the kind of money we're talking about lending, that they have the ability to pay it back, and if they're giving you collateral, and that collateral is in the form of property, that valuation has to be done by the lender.
	It's not the responsibility of the seller.
	It's not the responsibility of the person that wants the loan.
	They can put and it even says in the contract.
	Don't go on our valuations.
	You have to do your own independent review and do your own valuation and your own assessment and your own appraisals.
	Otherwise, what we're gonna I I want a loan.
	Yeah, I'm worth 500 million dollars.
	So that maybe six, six hundred.
	Now you know what?
	Make it a cool 750.
	I think I'm worth a billion.
	You know, you don't lend money based on what somebody tells you that they think a property's worth.
	You go out, you hire an objective appraiser.
	Usually banks have regular appraisers that are accredited and that they trust and they have relationships with that they know are going to give them the right information so they can make the proper determination of whether or not the loan uh is warranted.
	That's what that is.
	And anyway, you got you know, in in this particular case, nothing happens to Hillary, nothing happens to Joe.
	Bar a lago gets rated, and Milani's underwear gets looked at.
	And Baron Trump's, you know, closet gets raided.
	You don't see anything wrong with that?
	Does that sound like equal justice, equal application of our laws?
	You know, we had 574 riots in the summer of 2020.
	We have a ton of video tape.
	We still have the video tape of people involved and throwing bricks and rocks and bottles and Molotov cocktails at cops.
	We had over 2,000 cops injured that summer.
	You know, did we did we have hearings in Washington?
	No.
	Did we have you know, did anything happen to most of the people involved?
	We had billions of dollars in property damage?
	No.
	Did Kamala Harris encourage insurrection by tweeting out the bail fund after the police precinct in Minneapolis was burned in the ground?
	Yeah, she did that.
	You know, where are the people that are arrested?
	Where are the hearings in Washington?
	Where are the politicians that supported them being held accountable for supporting the insurrectionists in the summer of 2020?
	Didn't happen.
	And that is the great injustice.
	And by the way, if you want to talk about January 6th, well, what a shame that okay, they they wanted to bludgeon Trump and get their pound of flesh, they got it.
	What about actually coming up with a solution to prevent something like January 6th from ever happening again?
	Because that would have led to, you know, even Lester Holt's report about how law enforcement had picked up lots of intelligence, actionable intelligence, in the days leading up to January 6th, the people were going to be up to no good that day, and they didn't act on it.
	Or they would have interviewed the people I interviewed, and that I have on tape, all saying that in the days before January 6th, Donald Trump in front of them authorized troops if necessary for January 6th.
	The mayor of uh D.C., Muriel Bowser, in writing, declined.
	Nancy Pelosi's never been asked about it.
	She's the person responsible as Chuck Schumer is for the safety of the Capitol and security at the Capitol.
	Why isn't why wouldn't the January 6th committee interested in the Capitol Police Chief's testimony, had to write it in a book about how he requested in the days leading up to January 6th because of the intelligence he had that there were going to be people acting up that day.
	Well, that means we had an intelligence law enforcement failure at a very high level.
	Know what that all points to?
	We don't have equal justice.
	We don't have equal application of our laws.
	And guess what?
	If that's that, then we don't have a constitution.
	That's what's happening and unfolding in New York today.
	This, you know, all these criminal trials, they're all politically motivated.
	All these 14 Amendment efforts to keep Trump off the ballot, all politically motivated.
	They're so confident that they Donald Trump can be beaten, run against him.
	Beat him, show them.
	No, that's not good enough.
	They want to destroy him.
	Is that the United States that we thought we were growing up in?
	Doesn't look like it right now, does it?
	Looks like a banana republic.
