‘That’s An Interesting Point’: Fox Host Harris Faulkner Amazed By Guest’s ‘Ruby Red Slipper’ Defense Of Trump

Fox News host Harris Faulkner was amazed Monday by Fox News Legal Editor Kerri Kupec Urbahn’s “ruby red slipper” defense of former President Donald Trump.

Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James took the first step toward seizing Trump’s assets by filing judgments with the clerk’s office in Westchester County on March 6. Trump was ordered to pay the State of New York a $454 million bond, which the former president reported being unable to post, in his civil fraud case brought by James.

Urbahn made the point that Trump’s assets are worth as much as someone is willing to pay, stating that the 2024 Republican presidential nominee’s name recognition would increase the value of his properties like how a pair of “ruby red slippers” would be worth more if they were worn by Dorthy from “The Wizard of Oz.”

“When you start to have people who will press against a candidate and run with their name in their mouths, that’s gotta taint some voters,” Faulkner said. “No one wants to speak up about that?”

“It’s certainly understandable why people are beginning to view it that way, especially with what’s at stake in November,” Urbahn said. “And Harris, just going back to the valuation aspect in this fraud case for a minute, you know, because I’m not sure that people quite understand the ins and outs because it’s confusing.”

“The real estate and how this works, but think about it for a second,” she continued. “If I went online right now and I wanted to buy a pair of glittery, ruby red slippers on Amazon, I could get them for maybe 30 or 40 dollars. But if I wanted to get the ones owned by Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ they’re, I believe, currently valued at about four or five million dollars. That is to me a perfect picture of how subjective valuation is of assets. How much is someone willing to pay for something, and it typically depends on who or what that thing belonged to.” (RELATED: Eric Trump Says Insurance Companies ‘Were Laughing’ When Trump Asked For Half-Billion Dollar Bond Request)

“That’s an interesting point,” Faulkner said.

“And that’s why this case has been so tricky, I think, from the get-go. And the fact that the New York attorney general brought this case in this way, obviously very much undervalued his assets. Now he, some people say he overvalued, people just need to understand how all of this is, has largely been resting on subjectivity,” Urbahn said.

“Well, the valuation is a very valuable way of putting things the way you did,” Faulkner replied. “I mean, would you just want a building in New York, or would you want part of the portfolio of a man who’s known for having successful buildings all over the world, i.e. Donald Trump.”

“Exactly,” Urbahn replied.

“I hadn’t heard anyone put it that way, but that’s very interesting,” Faulkner said.

An appeals court agreed to reduce Trump’s civil fraud case bond to $175 million from $454 million. The court agreed to block the collection of the judgment if Trump pays the new amount within 10 days.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
