Trump COLLAPSES in Texas as HOUSE SLIPS AWAY!!!!
A nightmare scenario for Donald Trump in. red states like Texas in Texas Donald. Trump's approval right now is net. negative 25. Let me repeat that in Texas. the latest economist poll has Donald. Trump's approval at net negative 25. Zoom out a little bit nationally. You. take a look at the latest Beacon Shaw. research poll. He's net negative 21. overall on immigration net negative 14. On gas prices net negative 54% on the.
economy net negative 37% on Iran net. negative 29%. Zoom out on another poll a Marist poll. Donald Trump's disapproval is at 60% net. negative 27%. overall there. You take a look at some. states that are purple reddish. Look at. like a purple state a swing state like. Pennsylvania. There you have the. Democratic governor Shapiro is leading.
the mega Republican candidate by massive. amounts 50% to 28%. It's not even a. close race in a swing state like. Pennsylvania. Let's take a look at a. state like Ohio where Democrats are. leading both in the governor's race and. in the Senate race right now Amy Acton. beating Vivek Ramaswamy 47% to 44% in. the latest Tolchin poll and Sherrod. Brown may be able to reclaim that Senate. seat of he was a great senator also. Leading John Ustad 46% to 42%. Ustad's.
the mega Republican senator right now. who has that seat. Let's take a look at. Florida where you have a Democrat David. Jolly leading the ultra mega Republican. Byron Donald's 49% to 43%. Then in the. Senate seat there Ashley Moody is tied. with Alexander Vidman 46% to 46%. folks. This could be a tsunami of. massive proportions and Donald Trump.
just seems to make things worse while. the American people are suffering, while. the ceasefire seems to be collapsing, the White House posted this message. yesterday. We really saved America. before GTA 6. Make America great again. Saved us from what? How did you save us? You've made things dramatically worse. What a bunch of absolute psychopaths. And the American people see this regime. for the psychopaths that they are. Even.
in when talking about Ohio, in J.D. Vance's home state of Ohio, he's got net. negative approvals. In Ohio, people hate. J.D. Vance. Listen to what Harry Enten. has to say. Play this clip. >> Take a look here. Now, this is the. general electorate, but Vance's net. favorability rating in Ohio, you know, you go back to the 2024 election, he was. at plus five points. Even in Ohio, in. J.D. Vance's home state, among the. electorate overall, he is underwater. Among independents, look at this. He's. 27 points underwater. J.D. Vance, not so.
popular in the Buckeye State. >> Problems at home. How about his net. approval overall? >> Yeah, how about his net approval rating. overall? You know, there's all this. discussion, you know, J.D. Vance writes. essentially, you know, the childless cat. ladies, right? That was the thing he. very much regretted, almost regretted. more than anything else. You might say, "Okay, how's he doing among women, among. men?" Well, he's underwater with both of. them. Among men, he's slightly. underwater at minus two points. Of. course, if you're a Republican, you need.
to be be popular with one of men if. you're going to win a national election. Among women, he is way underwater. He's. 26 points underwater. And the gender gap. in the Quinnipiac University poll, when. you matched him up against other. Republicans in the Trump cabinet, the. highest, the largest gender gap, it. actually belonged to J.D. Vance. He. doesn't need to win women if he's going. to win in 2020, but he can't be this. unpopular among them. >> Yes. >> What about how independents feel about. Donald Trump and J.D. Vance? Trump is 55.
points underwater with independents. 55 points underwater with independents. as and this is a state regime media Fox. poll. There's never been worse numbers. ever in the history of ever. That's how. That's how unpopular Donald Trump and. J.D. Vance are. Listen to yourself. Let's play this clip. >> Yeah, I I I I think the American people. are going, "What was the point of all of. that?" What was the point of all that. because the American people hated it. And the way you can know that they hated.
it, just take a look. Trump's net. approval ratings hits lows for Fox poll. and this is Fox poll's In May, he hit. his lowest ever rating at minus 22. points. You come into the poll that was. released last night, the second lowest. ever, one point better at minus 21. points. Way underwater and with. independents, I know you love when I. point out the independents, Johnny B. 55. points underwater. I mean, my goodness. gracious. This was a political disaster. No wonder the president wants to move on.
from it. >> he didn't want to be Herbert Hoover. It. may be that voters were already looking. at him like that in a manner of. speaking. What about on inflation, which. may be driving some of these numbers and. directly related to the war with. Ukraine? >> Yeah, you know, you mentioned Herbert. Hoover, the economy, right? That sunk. his presidency. Inflation is what is. sinking Donald Trump's presidency to. all-time lows, at least according to. Fox, because just take a look here. Look. at Ipsos polling. Trump's net approval. rating on inflation. Pre-Ukraine war, it. was bad, right? It was 33 points. underwater. But then look in the past. month, the average, according to the.
Ipsos polling, look at that. 51 points. underwater. There was no president ever. before that had any poll in which he was. 50 points underwater on inflation or. worse, and the average of the Ipsos. polling over the last month was 51. points underwater on inflation. The Iran. war absolutely drove Trump to Nulos on. the issue that got him reelected in the. first place, inflation. >> Which is why he was seeing Herbert.
Hoover. Then we go to Georgia for. example as well, where it seems that. Democrats are poised to take over the. governor's seat and the Senate seat. right there. The first time that could. happen since 1990. Listen to what. Intonest has to say about that. Let's. bring him in right here. >> Well, we're talking about the fact if. you look at the chance that they that. the Democrats win both governor and. Senate, look at that. Keisha Lance. Bottoms, you mentioned a 52% chance of. winning the governorship there. And then. Jon Ossoff, a clear favorite on the. Senate side, an 82% chance. Remember.
when he won back in 2020, his first term. into 2021, when he won in the runoff in. 2021, it was a real fight. This is. indicating that he is a clear favorite. He is the first Democrat to be a clear. favorite for a Senate race. in a generation. >> I was up all night with counting those. numbers on the magic wall and it was. five votes here, five votes there. Now. an 82% chance to win. There's been a. long time since Democrats won both a. Senate seat and a governor's mansion in.
the same election. >> Yeah, so you know, you see blue here. This is a close race. This is a toss-up, but the mere fact that Bottoms has a. real shot of winning. And then Ossoff. being a clear favorite here. You know, I. have to go back through the record. books. The last time that in the same. year a Democrat won both the governor's. race and the Senate race in Georgia was. 36. years ago. It was 1990. You had Sam Nunn winning reelection. You. had Zell Miller being elected governor. for the first time. Of course, Zell. Miller became considerably more. conservative down the road, but what we.
are looking at right now, the potential. is for a historic election in Georgia. for Democrats. The first time. potentially since all the way back in. 1990. in which they won both the governor's. race and the Senate race in the same. year. Georgia looking a lot more blue. than at least during my lifetime it. usually is. >> a very different Georgia. >> And now I want to talk to the Democratic. candidate right now. for the 35th Congressional District in. Texas, Deputy Sheriff by the name of.
Johnny Garcia. You know, the MAGA. Republicans in Texas gerrymandered the. hell out of the state, um but this. Johnny Garcia guy is super popular. He. may be able to pick up the state that. the MAGA Republicans were trying to rig. and turn it into a MAGA pick up. Let me. bring in my interview right here with. Johnny Garcia that I did before. Let's. bring in Johnny. Now I want to bring in Johnny Garcia off.
the big primary win in Texas's 35th. Congressional District. Johnny, great to. see you. This is a very critical. district going into the midterms. It's. one of the gerrymandered Frankensteinian. red districts by the MAGA Republicans. Uh this is an area where you're running. against a Trump-endorsed ultra-MAGA guy. by the name of Carlos De Leon Cruz. People know you in the area as a Deputy. Sheriff uh in Bear County. You were a.
kind of SWAT hostage negotiator over. there. For those watching here, the 35th. is kind of the east range of San. Antonio, you know, area. And lots of. people are paying attention because this. is one of those districts that MAGA was. saying and Trump was saying and Abbott. was saying, "We can try to eke out new. seats for Republicans." And then there. are candidates like you jumping into. this race and people are saying, "Not so. fast." And now people are looking at a.
race like yours and saying, "Actually, this could be a Democratic pick up right. here." So first, why don't we just start. with just the overall feel, the vibe, what's going on in the 35th, and you. know, your view about this district, and. and and why you think you can win this. district. >> Yeah, well, first of all, thanks for. having me on. It's a pleasure. I'm a. huge fan of the show. Uh so, it's kind. of surreal being on, but nevertheless, look, they. uh did exactly what you talked about. They redrew this district to silence.
Latino and minority voters in this. district because they thought they would. have the chance to tip the scales in. this midterm election cycle. Uh redraw this district to favor. Republicans, and we're getting to see. how that is backfiring on them. on every single day basis. Uh when we're. talking about this district, it is a. majority Latino district here in South. Central Texas. It's it's rooted in San. Antonio. It has Guadalupe County, uh Wilson County, and Karnes counties. And although those areas were drawn up.
to to be uh Republican strongholds, we're getting to see and and and talk to. folks that are just fed up and. frustrated uh with this economy and how. it's hurting working-class families the. hardest. Um you know, when when I'm out. there in the district, affordability. continues to be the primary focal point. in this election cycle. And when you. draw in rural Texas uh in a time where. gas prices are soaring through the roof, you're talking about folks that drive. big diesel trucks.
Um. you know, that that work in our in our. trucking industry. Uh folks that that. have large corporations rooted in this. district. Uh it's it's growing a lot of. sentiment on people that are just. frustrated, and they want change, and. they see that uh common sense. deputy sheriff Democrat running in this. race, uh they're they're starting to get. behind our campaign, believe in our. message, and it's why I feel so. confident that we're going to be able to. get the job done heading into November. >> Well, when you talk about your opponent,
Carlos De La. I think what he is basically trying to. sell is that we're in a golden age. I. hear his speeches that isn't this. everything you wanted? This is great and. I don't it's baffling to me because. those things aren't, you know, aren't. happening. I mean, it's possible that. people like Carlos are too busy in. Mar-a-Lago and Club Rose Garden and. talking to Donald Trump about triumphal.
arches and reflecting pools and and and. all of those things and you know, Trump's doing 3,800 stock trades and. manipulating the market while the. American I mean, maybe they're just so. out of touch or maybe they think with. brute force we'll be able to just. if we just keep repeating our own. version of the reality, maybe we'll be. able to bend it and people will be like, "Yeah." This I I just I don't I don't. see it when people's energy prices are. so high, when people have got their.
health care taken away from them, as. people can't afford rent and can't. afford homes. And I don't know, maybe. you could sell that to them in another. time period, but like right now it just. doesn't seem to. the the pitch from De la Cruz just. doesn't seem to be landing. But what do. I know? What what do you think? >> Look, there's nothing golden about. extreme gas prices, grocery costs, utility prices, and unaffordable health. care. You know, families in this. district,
we just want to be able to go to H-E-B. to buy our groceries with the wages that. we're bringing home. At the same time. being able to pay for our utility bills. But more so than anything, families here. in South Central Texas, it's a little bit different than LA, but. we just want to be able to make it to. Sunday to buy our barbacoa and Big Red. And you hit it right on the nail. Look, they are completely out of touch with. reality here in this district. You know, we know that uh my opponent's just. running to be another yes man, but we.
need a fighter uh for the working man. You know, we need a construction worker, a plumber, a sheriff's deputy, SWAT. hostage negotiator in Congress. Uh quite. frankly, I feel that we need a. construction worker that is going to be. able to rebuild this broken system in. Washington, D.C. that is created to. serve the 1% while the remaining 99 is. left out to dry. You know, we need a. deputy sheriff uh who can root out the. corruption that continues to unfold. before our very eyes. But, more so. importantly, uh we need a SWAT hostage.
negotiator to bring an end to this. standoff with this administration who. continues to hold our economy and. democracy hostage for working families. >> You know, you and I have both studied s-. hostage negotiating principles, you as a. SWAT hostage negotiator in the most. life or death, you know, types of. situations that you were involved in. For me, I teach it academically, and I I. was involved in, you know, high-profile. mediation negotiations when I was uh a a. lawyer. I I It's just when I watch.
Donald Tru- when I I watch the guy say. he's negotiating, I go, he violates every principle and. rule of negotiation. at every aspect of it. And I go, the. guy's never a negotiator. All he wants. to do is relentlessly wear you down with. the lies and with the manipulation, and. then people sometimes give in to that. But, that's not negotiation. And so, I. don't I I I wonder just your perspective.
of that as, you know, a seasoned. who has been involved in situations. where someone lived or died based on the. negotiation. Just how bad of a. negotiator the guy really the really has. been. And I think we've seen that with. the with Iran and with other places. >> Yeah, he continues to exhaust uh America. with the tactics that they're playing. out. I don't think we've ever been able. to see an administration enrich. themselves more than this current. administration. At the same time,
Americans and Texans are hurting the. hardest. Look, you know, I got to use my. negotiation skills on a very mega Trump. Republican. Down in Karnes County when I was doing. the Karnes County Christmas parade and. you know, I'm looking at the parade. route and I see a a constable deputy. along the parade route and and I was. like, "Ah, let me go talk to this guy. Just kind of see engage the temperature. of of where people may be at politically. here in this district." So, we start. having a full-on debate before the.
parade started. We were having a a. full-on debate and as I'm hitting him on. all my issues and I don't think he was. able to gain any traction or I don't. think it played very well for him and. his in my opinion. >> [snorts]. >> I I let what we call in negotiations, what normal people call an awkward. silence in negotiations, we call it an. effective pause. And when you're. defeating somebody on all of their. tactics and and talking points, you let that pause set in to really let.
that person think and realize what's. going on in real time. After that happened, I let it go on for. a couple of seconds. I turn over to him and I said, "Hey, in. public safety and law enforcement, when. we respond to calls for service, we. don't ask dispatch whether that home. we're headed to is Democratic or. Republican. And before I was even able. to finish my line, he cut me off and he. said, "You're right. We just respond.". And shocked, I said, "Well, damn, look. at you sounding like a Democrat." And he.
said, "I ain't no damn Democrat, man. I'm a mega Republican.". And I turn over to the ladies in the. parade route we were with and and I. said, "Hey folks, I think we got one.". If I know my people in law enforcement. better than anybody else, I know that we're convincible. And we're. We're to see how people here in this. district. And he ends up turning over to. me and he says, "Look, man, you know, about 20 years ago, I used to be a. Democrat." And again, shocked as hell. I. turn over and and I'm like, "W- W- What. happened?" You know, and he said that I.
just He said I felt like the party. abandoned us here in South Central. Texas. Uh the the Democratic brand left us. behind while we needed to be focused on. other issues that were. more. on the ground, rooted here in Texas than. what the national Democratic brand was. at that time. And we're starting to see. people that are frustrated. that are Republicans, independents that. just want change come back over to the.
middle. And we know that. when we get to tell people who we are, that we're just fighting for the working. man, trying to make life more. affordable, healthcare more affordable. for people in this district, they. immediately begin to vote for us. >> You know, it's interesting. At this. time, as we start approaching closer to. election season, all the pundits come. out and they have these debates. Should. a Democrat be more centrist? Should a. Democrat be more leftist? Should a. Democrat I go, "Just stop it. A Democrat.
should just be a person who is fighting. for his people." And that shouldn't be a. Democrat. That should just be a human. being. And where our interests align and. where you can find the values and. principles of a party align with with. the humans and the constituents you. represent, that's what matters. And you. know, all these pundits, you know, talk. about, you know, this focus group and. then this and then that. And if I say. this, it'll I'll move them two points. this way and that way. It's like, "All. that's great. Just go out there and talk. to people. Listen to what they're. saying. People are truly psychologically. tortured right now under what this Trump.
regime is doing. They're really. suffering." And when people are. suffering, they can go in different directions and. they can be misled cuz that's when. people are often exploited the most when. they are suffering or you can show. genuinely rather than trying to move. them two points to this way or that. You're listening to them. You're hearing. them. You're You actually are. You say, "I hear you. And here's what I'm going. to do for you." I said, that's your best. response rather than debating left. center, it's 90° angle this way. I'm. like, just be a human being and listen.

And And we know that America. is in distress right now with House and. Senate Republicans not looking out for. the 99% of the working class folks here. in this district. And it it's why we we.
