Fox News host Jesse Watters blasted “The Five” co-host Jessica Tarlov over the cases involving former President Donald Trump, saying liberals gave al-Qaeda “terrorists” more consideration than they gave Trump.

A New York appeals court judge reduced the bond Trump must post in order to appeal a civil fraud ruling by Judge Arthur Engoron to $175 million instead of over $450 million Monday. Watters chided Tarlov over the cases, citing how attorneys linked to Democrats represented al-Qaeda terrorists.

“You don’t know anything about real estate, Jessica, you rent. Look at that building right there. Trump owns that building. Take a look at the entire Manhattan skyline, Trump owns all of these beautiful properties. He’s built these things, what has Joe Biden built?” Watters asked Tarlov. “Joe Biden has not built anything, Jessica. He hasn’t even built a charging station, okay? This man is responsible for thousands of Americans being hired and millions of dollars being made by banks, by investors in this great city.”

“The book in the back shot of that stupid former assistant U.S. attorney, you know what it said? Taking down Trump,” Watters said, referring to MSNBC commentator Tristan Snell, who melted down over the appeals court’s reduction of the bond. “That was the book in his little back shot library. This guy is a straight player? These are not straight players, these are hounds, Jessica. This is a savage attack on a man, because these people are mentally ill.”

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg secured a grand jury indictment against Trump Thursday on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a case centered around a $130,000 payout to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016, during Trump’s successful run for the White House.

Special counsel Jack Smith secured indictments over Trump’s handling of classified materials and efforts to contest the results of the 2020 presidential election, while Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis also secured an indictment of Trump on charges pertaining to his efforts to contest the 2020 election results.

“They don’t want to see him actually convicted at all, they just want to see him convicted before the election. They don’t care what happens after the election, that is the whole point of this,” Watters said. “Joe Biden has unleashed the hounds and Fani’s talking about the Fani train. Come on. If you take the Trump train and the Fani train and you go like this, my money is on the Trump train. Choo-choo, Fani.” (RELATED: Andy McCarthy Predicts Judge Will Act As ‘Rubber Stamp’ For Alvin Bragg, Keep Trump Case Alive Despite Doc Dump)

“Remember after 9/11, Jessica, how we treated Khalid Sheikh Mohammed? Your Democrat lawyers flew down to get to represent him. ‘They need constitutional rights. They need all of the rights that they should have the right to appeal, the right to due process and the right to a trial,’” Watters said. “They are giving terrorists more respect than Donald Trump. They said, this is what makes America, America. Now they are just destroying this man. They don’t care about precedent. They are trying to attack him any way they can.”

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.
