Visit t mobile.com well it turns out you can't bribe a congressperson who is indicted for bribery if you're Donald Trump and you gave him a pardon hoping you'd flip a Texas Seat from blue to red. Leave it to Donald Trump. I think he could bribe Henry Cuellar, a representative from Texas who was looking at a jail sentence for accepting bribes from foreign countries. He thought he was gonna bribe him with a pardon for his wife and for him and that he would become a reliable red vote in Texas. That's not the way it works. Even though that's the way it works in Donald Trump's mind as a transactional guy who thinks everything is a deal. I'm Michael Popak. Let's talk about the big fu that was given by Representative Cuellar and his wife effectively to Donald Trump when they said, yeah, thanks for the pardon, but we're still conservative Democrats. You're on Midas, Dutch and legal af. I just find the irony of trying to bribe somebody indicted for bribery too, too good, too delicious to pass up. Let's get to it. Henry Cuellar, conservative Democrat from a district in Texas covering places like San Antonio, was indicted along with his wife for accepting bribes from Azerbaijan and Mexico. I mean, they had the direct link for Azerbaijan and the energy company. After he got the bribe, he gave some pro Azerbaijan and energy company speech on the House floor talking about Azerbaijan. Mexico too, lined his pockets with money and was picked up by the Biden administration, prosecuted for public corruption, pump theft of honest services, much the way Senator Menendez in New Jersey, you know, was. That's going to be the next pardon, by the way, convicted of having gold bars that he accepted from Egypt in terms of lobbying on their behalf, undisclosed to the American voter that he accepted bribes. So what happens every. It's now a thing. If you have children, daughters, you write letters to Trump to try to get your parents pardoned. It's like the, what was their name, the Chrisleys on television who stole hundreds of millions of dollars from banks. But their attractive looking daughters wrote a letter or daughter wrote a letter and then the Chrisleys are out. Same thing happened with the Cuellars. And so the daughters write a letter and Trump lets him out. Now, it looks like the reason Trump let him out is because he wanted him to become a reliable red seat, a red vote. And Cuellar has said publicly, including on Fox, listen, I'm a Texan first, I'm an American first, a Texan second, and a Democrat third, in that order. And I am a conservative, but I caucus with Democratic Party and thank you for the pardon, but no. Now, the maps are very important to Donald Trump. We know the United States Supreme Court is going to allow a map that was redrawn in the last six months by Texas to eliminate five blue seats and make it five seats redder has been approved effectively by the Supreme Court for this upcoming midterm election because we just got the ruling for the United States Supreme Court, led by Justice Alito, that they're not going to interfere with map making this close, quote, unquote, to an election. And they don't see racial gerrymandering. What they see is Democratic Republican gerrymandering. They see Republican districting and redrawing to improve the odds of Republicans, much the way California has done it with Prop 50 with their new maps. With that as a backdrop. Of the five seats in Texas that were eliminated that were Democratic, Henry Cuellar was not one of them. So he's got effectively a safe seat. It got a lot safer now that Donald Trump has effectively taken the shade or shadow of being an indicted bribe taker off the table. I think that just increased the odds of Henry Cuellar to be supported by the voters of his district and send him back to Congress. In a way, it actually supports or improves his bona fides as being a firebrand conservative who's willing to stand up to everybody, including the Department of Justice, and work with Donald Trump if he has to, on behalf of Texans and himself and work with the Democrats in other ways. But Donald Trump's all off because he didn't get what he wanted. He wanted effectively that seat to flip. With Cuellar going, thank you for the pardon, sir. I'm now a Republican and that didn't happen. Let's first watch Cuellar with Maria Bartiromo on Morning Futures being grilled because, you know, she's a propagandist about being disloyal to the president and being attacked for it because he wouldn't flip and become a Republican. Let's play the clip.
