Big Tish James is under investigation by a grand jury in the U.S. for alleged mortgage fraud and civil rights abuses. Texas AG Ken Paxton is going nuclear on the Democrats in Texas, and our guest Rich Valdez is here to talk about it all.
00:09:32.680A woman who's never had to win a primary in her life, a woman who's never been on a primary ballot in her life for president of the United States.
00:09:41.060How could she say with a straight face after everything they did to Donald Trump, not just to Donald Trump, but everything they did to Joe Biden?
00:10:04.800This is why she thinks it's rigged because we the people got involved.
00:10:07.480But it's so mind blowing to me that they can just say this stuff with a straight face.
00:10:12.960And I sit there and I fathom with myself.
00:10:14.600Are they being serious or or is this just like a massive troll gaslight operation to see everything we've watched Donald Trump go through down to the bullet passing his ear?
00:10:26.420And for these idiots to come out here like it's absolutely nothing.
00:10:30.440The Democrats, Rich, have nobody to blame but themselves.
00:10:33.880I want to roll a clip of James Carville, everyone's favorite Marxist radical Democrat, about what he believes the Democrats should do when they get back power.
00:10:48.420The Democrats talk about democracy and you have these people in importance of democracy and preserving democracy and saving democracy.
00:10:54.740Well, the truth of the matter is people are right when they say this democracy is really imperfect.
00:11:01.040And they're going to have to do if the Democrats win the presidency, the Senate and the House in twenty twenty eight, which is not impossible.
00:11:10.100I don't know if you say likely or possible.
00:11:12.520I don't know what word you know, but it's certainly not impossible.
00:11:15.140They are just going to have to unilaterally add Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia states.
00:11:45.740I would say, well, I don't know if that's the greatest idea in the world.
00:11:48.280You're opening Pandora's box or all kinds of things.
00:11:53.260If you want to save democracy, I think you've got to do all of those things because we're just moving further and further away from being anything close to democracy.
00:12:49.560This guy appreciates the service of the troops.
00:12:52.040His friends like Zoran Mamdani and AOC all out crazy.
00:12:56.360You'll never see them wear an American flag or don something from any of the five branches of the military because they don't like this country.
00:13:03.860And and to go back to what he was saying, he's talking about they're going to have to add Puerto Rico and D.C.
00:14:04.500It's it would it would benefit Republicans.
00:14:07.160I think if Puerto Rico became a state, we'd have two more Republican senators and we already have a Republican governor there.
00:14:12.020So I think that would be the case. And we've consistently had a Republican in Congress, a non-voting one because they're called the resident commissioner.
00:14:19.100But either way, that's just a little, you know, inside baseball there.
00:14:22.560But I totally believe this is how they do it.
00:14:24.780They believe in rigging things. And when the rigging doesn't work, when they say, oh, we're going to change this, we're going to change that.
00:14:29.620We're going to alter the mechanics of how this works so that we can win.
00:14:32.940We can benefit. It's not about we the people.
00:14:34.660It's not about making anything great again.
00:14:37.040It's not about winning the hearts and minds. And you just look at the way Trump moves.
00:14:40.940Fill up stadiums with people that believe what you believe.
00:14:43.500And then they go out there and they give it everything they've got.
00:14:45.700And they become digital warriors and they're telling there and they're fighting with their neighbor.
00:14:50.460You know, all of that and what we've seen the last few years.
00:14:53.080But it's brought us to where we are, where you've got tariffs that are working, where you've got wars that are ending,
00:14:58.080other wars that are soon to be ending. And Trump's numbers, which being a convicted felon, getting shot, doing everything they've done to him,
00:15:07.760seem to be stable and rising whenever I look.
00:15:11.440I'll make you a deal on the Puerto Rico thing.
00:15:13.400I'll take Puerto Rico as a state if we can get rid of California and do it.
00:16:27.720Nancy Pelosi, who looks like she's not doing very well, should probably check herself into some sort of drug rehab or alcohol, whatever she's on.
00:17:15.740I'm not totally, I don't know what, I don't know what effect we can have nationally with what we have going on in the White House and in the Congress.
00:17:27.780It's really very sad if you were there.
00:17:31.160Outside our door, we have a trans flag.
00:17:34.260Outside of our door in the office, congressional office building, we have the trans flag.
00:18:46.020Not that, you know, as minority leader, Jeffries is doing any better.
00:18:49.120But I think I think she's seen her best days.
00:18:52.660Yeah, I think her best days are far behind her.
00:18:56.020Let's talk a little bit about some numbers that we've got out from the Heritage Foundation, Steve Moore, which he presented to President Trump yesterday.
00:19:09.880Americans gained 10 times more income under Donald Trump than Joe Biden.
00:19:14.340And let's remember, this is just over 200 days in rich or got 4000 more under Trump.
00:19:20.940And there's so much more to come from President Trump and this administration.
00:19:26.260I mean, in 200 days, this man was able to manage to do just the unthinkable things, ending wars.
00:19:34.780He was with the president of Azerbaijan this week, a war is ending over there.
00:19:38.660I think he's probably pretty close to a Russia, Ukraine ceasefire slash end of the war.
00:19:45.460He's supposed to be meeting with Vladimir Putin and possibly Zelensky in the coming weeks.
00:19:50.720I mean, there's so much that this man has done on the world stage, stuff that we shouldn't even have to worry about that he's doing that Joe Biden can do in four years.
00:20:00.480Well, listen, Donald Trump is trying to do the right thing.
00:21:26.700Speaking of his work ethic, you mentioned the human smuggling operation.
00:21:30.320The New York Times is reporting today that President Trump secretly signed a directive ordering the Pentagon to start using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels.
00:21:40.140The order provides an official basis for possibility of direct military operation at sea and on foreign soil against cartels.
00:21:47.500This means that U.S. troops can find themselves in countries like Mexico battling the Sinaloa cartel, for example.
00:21:54.040This is something that I think is absolutely integral to stopping these drug cartels.
00:21:59.560I don't know if you remember in the first administration, I think it was Mark Esper who wrote a book and he said President Trump was considering sending bombs into these drug facilities.
00:22:08.500And he said it thinking he was going to hurt President Trump.
00:22:11.220People started listening and I sat myself there and I said, why the hell didn't they do it?
00:22:15.440That's absolutely right. Blow these guys up.
00:23:40.840And they opted to help out and they held people in Mexico and Remain in Mexico policy became a thing.
00:23:46.040I think now Trump is realizing there's a political part of this game and there's a real strategic part of this game.
00:23:52.620I mean I think he's always known it, but he realizes the timeline now that there's truly a finish line of getting things done well before the midterm election so that you can say I've done this, this, this, this, this, and this and we deserve to win again.
00:24:04.500And I think the American people are going to support that whether they're MAGA or not because they're realizing this guy is not so bad.
00:24:12.340I mean he's talking about boys playing in boys sports, girls playing in girls sports, not having drugs, having money in your pocket and putting bad guys in jail.
00:24:19.500I think a lot of people like that idea.
00:24:57.460How about we bring manufacturing back to America?
00:25:00.160How about we stop relying on every other country for everything that we need in this country so that if another COVID-19 happens, we don't get locked out of pharmaceuticals.
00:25:36.540If you look at someone like AOC, she would be so happy, this Mamdani, so many, Elizabeth Warren.
00:25:43.480Sadly, it seems like Jasmine Crockett is joining their little group of being a real radical Marxist.
00:25:48.100And you look at this and you think, my goodness, these people would really want this government to own everything and to be in charge of everything because they're a part of the government.
00:25:58.320So they feel like they're part of the bourgeoisie and we're the stupid proletariat.
00:26:20.920And that's the reason this populist movement is alive and well with MAGA, because people who don't like Trump are looking the other way, saying, look, I don't like Trump, but I like what he's doing.
00:26:28.820Then you have the people that say, look, I don't like Trump and I like what he's doing, but I just don't like Trump.
00:26:33.300So therefore, I'm going to sit on my hands and watch the country crumble, which to me puts them in the same boat as AOC.
00:27:26.240When you're in New York, right, and you were around for this, and even if you weren't there when it happened, you've seen what it looks like every year on 9-11.
00:27:33.460The amount of emotion, the stories that people will tell you, what New York City was like the day after 9-11, the night of 9-11.
00:27:41.980And I can tell you this, John Fawcett, that stuff runs in our veins.
00:27:46.580And when you have a guy that's running, this Zoran Mandani, he says, I'm going to activate one million Muslims in New York City to help me get elected.
00:27:55.440I can tell you that that's going to hit a nerve.
00:27:57.760That is going to hit a nerve, and it's going to hurt some people the same way.
00:28:00.440And this is not a xenophobic thing, I'm saying.
00:32:49.960I was reading this morning the millionaires and billionaires are already listing their condos and their houses for sale through the roof in New York City.
00:32:59.100Who do they think New York relies on to pay these big tax bills and to fund these expensive restaurants?
00:33:12.980If you have an investment in the city right now and you're not trying to leave now with the prospect of a Mamdani telling you what he's going to try and do, you're only going to lose.
00:33:21.300I mean, it's literally – it's like insider trading.
00:33:23.480He's telling you, hey, your condo on the Upper West Side is going to go down by 30% the day I get elected.
