Major Supreme Court News00:02:55
And we're live and we have major news, major, major, major news from the Supreme Court and also on Letitia James.
All in a little bit of news on the personal front with this particular podcast that I'm super excited to share with you.
Yeah, lots going on.
Welcome to the program, everyone.
I am Trish Regan.
We want to talk about Letitia poll numbers that are sinking as we speak, absolutely positively sinking.
And I'm telling you, her political career is over.
She's going to be voted out as AG just days ahead, by the way.
These numbers come just days ahead of the grand jury indictment subpoenas have been issued.
Meanwhile, Supreme Court just out literally minutes ago with a huge ruling saying that the 500,000 people from Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, a few other places that were allowed in by the Biden administration through some kind of parole program for migrants, that program can indeed end.
The Supreme Court ruling that Donald Trump and his administration has the ability now to deport and end the special parole that these people were getting.
500,000 migrants will be affected.
So that's huge.
Plus DHS is targeting 30 sanctuary cities, pulling federal funds.
Hey, you know what?
You guys want to play that sanctuary game?
Well, guess what?
We're going to trump you, pun intended, all day long in court.
We're pulling your money.
Meanwhile, CBS News, boy, they're folding big time to Donald Trump.
And I can't forget the most important headline of all.

Stephen Miller Immigration Clash00:04:26
Indeed, Letitia James, Letitia Baby's going to be out as Attorney General, likely to be voted out.
I'm looking at these poll numbers and I mean, she kind of barely had a shot as it was.
She was already suffering.
I'm just going to tell you, she was really kind of struggling in the last go around.
And now you got the state of New York that I'm telling you is not as liberal or anti-Trump. as New York City.
And as a result of that, you know what?
They're going to vote her out.
They're going to vote her out.
I mean, New York City is not as important as it once was.
And this is what the City Journal just came out with this week.
Letitia James' campaign is on the ropes.
I mean, I don't even know how they're going to have any money, right?
Because who wants to donate to a woman who's about to go to prison for 30 years because of falsifying allegedly her mortgage application documents?
She's at odds also with like one of the big, big, big issues.
So Siena College did this poll and what they found was that the majority of New Yorkers were very comfortable and very much for the deportation of illegal immigrants.
And yet that is not something Leticia James believes in at all.
So just to go through some of the numbers with you.
79% of the people in New York that would be voting Letitia out, they back deporting immigrants that have been convicted of a crime.
Don't forget, Letitia is trying to prevent ICE from getting into Rikers.
Fortunately, the mayor of New York, Eric Adams, worked with Tom Homan.
And what do you know?
ICE is back at Rikers Island, so they're able to do their job there.
But it's in this sort of defiance of what Letitia James has going on.
39% back deporting immigrants with no criminal record.
42% opposed that, but 39% backed it.
And then the rest of them kind of don't really know or they don't want to say.
59% do not want taxpayers paying for migrants' medical care.
I mean, that's a biggie.
You're talking about basically 60%, let's call it, right?
Only 26% were in favor and the others didn't want to say or didn't know.
So when you have the majority of New Yorkers saying, you know what, we don't want to pay for somebody else's medical care, Leticia, you're once again at odds with the rest of your state.
48% support federal efforts to deport all illegal. migrants, only 31% oppose it.
You know, this deportation of illegal migrants is becoming such an issue.
You know, those in New York City that may support Letitia James, oh, they're very particular with their language.
Like this lady on CNN, who's just terrible at her job, by the way, like she almost doesn't have all the wires connecting upstairs, which is really funny when you see Stephen Miller actually go on with her.
Oh, this is great.
Okay, but this is the point on immigration.
Remember where New Yorkers are.
They want illegals that are here.
And have committed a crime deported.
They want even illegals that are here illegally deported.
And so Stephen Miller gets into it with the CNN lady.
I am, and that's why I said that.
I clarified that part.
You said undocumented, and I wasn't clear what that means.
I'm assuming they have a fake ID.
I'm assuming they have a fake social security number.
That's neither here nor there.
That's gaining away from the profession, Stephen.
I want this to be, and call me naive, a good faith discussion about what's happening right now.
When we use language that's designed to obscure the truth, that's not good faith.
All right, this is where they're not an undocumented man.
Okay, that's fine.
That's another discussion for another day.
Another discussion for another day.
Oh, believe me, they keep going at it.
I'm actually going to show you a few more clips from Stephen Miller because they're just unbelievable.
And you got to see him.
But there's going to be a lot of Stephen Miller.
So if you're not a Stephen Miller fan in this show, watch out because we get a few more really priceless moments coming from him.
He was on the airwaves, all over the airwaves this morning.
And obviously with the immigration news, that's a big, big deal.
But again, I want to get back to these poll numbers.
because as you look at these, they're really, really softening.
And this is what the City Journal is now reporting, because they're looking at her vis-a-vis Kathy Hochul.
They also actually brought up an interesting thing.
And, you know, for what it's worth, take it for what it's worth.
They're saying that Andrew Cuomo, if he's elected mayor of New York, and their belief is that he will, so, you know, take that again with a grain of salt, but that he's going to make her life absolutely miserable because they are political rivals and he doesn't like Letitia James.
Mortgage Fraud Defense00:04:30
And don't forget, she was the one who was sort of trying to put the nail in his coffin.
back when he was going down as a result of some of that 2020 stuff and, you know, the charges with women, et cetera.
So no love loss there.
So she's going to have the political odds effectively stacked against her, leading the city journal to say, you know, they don't think that she's going to make it.
And I think that, you know, when you sum up all these big issues that are plaguing New York right now, and then you look at her history of challenges and sort of where she has been on some of these issues that politically are just not aligned, especially when it comes to immigration with the rest of New York, then she's going to have some big problems, right?
You know, I found this the other day and I wanted to share this with you.
When she was riding high after she had gotten that half a billion dollar verdict against one Donald Trump, she came out with a very interesting statement.
And I think this is going to come back to haunt her in a huge way as we see that case move forward with her grand jury indictment coming any day now.
because of the alleged mortgage fraud.
She said something really clever.
She said, when powerful people cheat to get better loans, this is her talking about Trump, it comes at the expense of honest and hardworking people.
Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage, to buy a home.
And if they did, our government would throw the book at them.
There simply cannot be different rules for different people.
Now Donald Trump is finally facing accountability for his lying, cheating, and staggering fraud.
Because no matter how big, rich, or powerful you think you are, no one is above the law.
Wow, this is like poetic.
I mean, like, wow, Tishy, honey, it's like you wrote it for yourself, right?
I mean, she's using federal taxpayer dollars.
That's the kicker in all this.
I mean, at least he may have inflated a square footage on some of his properties, and he may have thought it was worth one thing when she thinks it's worth another.
I'm going to go with what the bank thinks right in that case, because they're the ones taking on the risk and the loan.
But in the case of Leticia James, she's actually using your money federal taxpayer dollars to fund her alleged mortgage fraud, and therein lies the problem.
The director of the Federal Housing Authority one, William Pulte, came out the other day.
This is relatively new sound.
I think we did play it for you as soon as it came out, but I love this because he's pointing out that he knows what mortgage fraud is and Leticia is guilty.
Recommended that the DOJ investigate New York attorney general Leticia James Over alleged mortgage fraud.
The AG, Letitia James, has responded.
We don't have the video, but here's the quote This investigation into me is nothing more than retribution.
It's baseless.
It has to do with the fact that on a power of attorney, I mistakenly indicated that I was a state of Virginia resident.
And prior to that, I indicated to the mortgage broker that, in fact, in bold cap letters, that I am not a resident of Virginia and never will be.
They just took the power of attorney and they're using that as a basis for enforcement of their investigation.
Bill, do you know why she said she was a resident of Virginia on the power of attorney if, in fact, she wasn't?
Well, I know that we are mortgage experts and we only refer things that we think are mortgage fraud and we stand 100% behind the letter.
I'll let the letter speak for itself.
I do know and I have seen some reports from that subject, from that subject's criminal defense lawyer, saying certain things.
I'll leave it to the DOJ to.
Correct various things, but again, when we see mortgage fraud, we are going to report it.
When we see mortgage fraud, we are going to prosecute it within the confines of our duties and we are not going to be intimidated by a subject's criminal defense lawyer.
We are not going to be intimidated by a politician or just because you have an Esquire behind your name.
We are not going to be intimidated by people.
If we see mortgage fraud, we're going to do something about it, and I think that you're going to see us be taking this on in a big way.
Mortgage fraud is a big problem.
These companies are safe and sound, but where we see it, we are going to do something about it, and that Subjects' case is no different.
Well, what are the ramifications of this now that you've referred this for criminality to the DOJ.
