Trump makes BOMBSHELL CONFESSION, leaves his own party FURIOUS

To the very obvious dismay of his own. party, Trump just made a bombshell. public confession that's doing the GOP. no favors. >> Now when you came to your desk, sir, did. you think about it? >> A- About what? >> The housing bill that you didn't sign. today that came. >> No, I said I'm not signing the housing. bill. I want to see what happens with. it. Look, the housing bill. is housing I I made billions of dollars. with housing. I know housing better than. anybody, maybe anywhere. It's all about the interest rate. Lower the interest rates, you're going. to have all the housing you want.

But you have to understand, I don't want. to have I don't want to hurt people that. own houses, too. These people, for the first time in. their lives, they have valuable houses. They become rich. I don't want to hurt. them, either. >> Sir, >> What you want to do is what's good for. everyone. Get the interest rates down. We have this numbskull that was the head. of the Fed before, and he's a stupid person, and we call. him too late cuz he was too late with. the interest rates all the time. Um. we need low interest rates.

Low interest rates will solve. everything. Will solve that. Now despite that, we're doing well with. housing. >> All right, so here's the deal. There was. a big bipartisan housing bill that. passed both chambers of Congress. The. bill would increase our housing supply. while lowering cost by reducing federal. regulations and restricting corporations. from buying up single-family homes. Good. stuff all around. And most importantly, it is something that Donald Trump. himself campaigned on. >> We will open up new tracts of federal. land for large-scale housing. construction so that we can get housing.

on the market. Housing affordability. crisis. It costs too expensive to build. the homes, and they're building them and. they cost a fortune. >> So, this was a no-brainer. This was. Trump's own campaign promise. You've got. a bill ready to sign, and what does. Trump do? He decides he's not signing it. because he wants to use it as leverage. to pass the Save America Act, which. would give the federal government. unprecedented control over federal. elections, make it more difficult for. people, particularly women, to vote, and. so on. It's a bill that will never pass. It needs 60 votes in the Senate. Zero.

Democrats will vote for it, meaning this. whole effort is DOA. It is doomed. And. Trump has no leverage, so he's just. tanking his own campaign promise all for. a doomed effort at passing a separate. bill that will never pass. But that. confession that he made at the top of. this video really does give the entire. game away because that sound bite shows. the truth. That yet again, he had zero intention of. ever seeing that legislation passed. And. despite his countless promises about. housing on the campaign trail, suddenly.

he's decided that the only way to bring. down the cost of housing is just to. lower the interest rates. Only small. problem, what happens when you lower. interest rates? Inflation goes up, which. means prices rise. And given the fact. that inflation is already 33% higher. than when Joe Biden left office, perhaps. the reason that too late Jerome Powell. isn't letting interest rates plummet is. because he is actually focused on. preventing the economy from heating up. too fast and watching inflation surge. Which, if my memory serves correctly, is.

the one thing that Republicans exploited. more than anything else to actually win. the 2024 election because inflation was. that bad. So inflation is apparently bad. when it happens at the hands of. Democrats, but good when it happens at. the hands of Republicans. And look, of course Republicans don't. care about inflation now that they're in. charge. Of course they don't care about. housing now that they're in charge. Of. course they'll let every single one of. their promises lapse now that they're in. charge because they never actually cared. about any of it. It was all just window.

dressing. It was the glossy veneer of. populism. Donald Trump doesn't care. about housing just like he doesn't care. about lowering costs, which is why he. launched a trade war that sent the cost. of everything surging. Just like he. doesn't care about making healthcare. more affordable, which is why he gutted. it for tens of millions of Americans. Just like he doesn't care about. releasing the Epstein files, which is. why he's actively engaged in a cover-up. And the rest of his party lets him do. it. They're in office to serve him, not. you. So, at this point, the game is up. Like, I don't know how a single Republican. voter out there can believe that party.

when they are looking for any excuse not. to deliver on their own promises, even. when those opportunities are handed to. them on a silver platter, as this. housing bill was. Yet again, Trump is. positioning himself squarely in the. hands of his wealthy donors who, as he. says, don't want their property values. to go down because of a surge of lowly. plebs who can suddenly afford to own a. home. God forbid. We couldn't possibly. have that. So, yet again, he'll look out for the. rich and leave working-class Americans.

twisting in the wind. That's your. populist champion proving yet again who. he actually works for. You're watching the No Lie Podcast.

I'm joined now by the ranking member of. the House Oversight Committee, Robert. Garcia. Congressman, we have a major. update now as far as the Oversight. Committee is concerned in this new. reflecting pool scandal that's kind of.

consumed the Trump administration over. the last few days. Can you explain the. letter that you just sent? >> Yeah, first what a complete disaster on. Donald Trump's part. I mean, he's so. obsessed with creating vanity projects. for himself. And it's not just a. reflecting pool, right? It's the. ballroom, it's this arch, I don't know. what he did try to do at the Kennedy. Center. And so, the pool is just the. latest example of quite frankly, not. just how Donald Trump views himself and. monuments he wants to create to himself, but also corruption. And as relates to.

the pool, it's a complete complete. You have the pool right now. which we spent about $14 million. There have were two businesses that got. contracts with no bid, basically. Trump. basically handed the contracts. One of. those is a huge Trump donor, by the way. And now you look at the work and the. whole pool's falling apart. Algae's out. of control, wildlife is being hurt. The. The paint job uh is completely ruined.

They've reclosed the reflecting pool. National Guard are arresting people. around the pool. It's another example. of Trump, anything he touches, he just. destroys. And uh and so we want to know. what happened. We want to understand. from these two contractors like, how did. they get the contract? What What did the White House. communicate to them? What was the. expectation? And so, there's clearly. something here and it's another example. and we want to bring light to it. The. American people care about it. If If the Oversight Committee was led by.

somebody who was actually interested in. um in upholding the law, is it lawful. for Trump to have awarded these no-bid. contracts basically not only to his. pals, but his pals who were clearly. grossly unqualified for this job? >> Well, um look, the the the the president. does have some ability to award certain. contracts, but you've got it's got to go. through a process that uh awards um the. best person for the job. >> Yeah. >> Uh and that just does not seem to be the. case here. I mean, who were these.

companies vetted? Clearly one's a Trump. donor. Clearly neither could do the job. Uh one of the companies had only done. one other federal contract in their. entire business career. I mean, it it's. completely ridiculous. that friends of the president are. getting these massive. multi-million-dollar deals, uh and. Trump's directing what he wants, and. then these projects are falling apart. And. this is all part of of Donald Trump. trying to uh leave some type of legacy. in DC. But the only legacy he's leaving.

is complete disaster. And so, oversight's going to be investigating. Look, we've already we're already. investigating the ballroom. Uh we're. looking at uh obviously the pool. There's a lot more here, and I think uh. folks are going to hear in the in the. days and weeks ahead we are planning. really a major review of all of these. monuments and all of these actions uh. that are really I think damaging DC um. and and and really just sidestepping the. responsibility of Congress uh to approve. uh and oversee these projects.

>> Is there any buy-in from James Comer or. Republicans? Or as far as they can or as. far as they're concerned, Donald Trump. can do no no wrong. >> Yeah, they don't they don't care about. oversight. They they care about uh. rubber-stamping whatever Donald Trump. wants to do. I mean, Donald Trump is completely. I mean, in my opinion, he's like he's. falling asleep at meetings, he's saying. weird stuff all the time. Uh he's more. focused on fixing reflect the reflecting. pool than the cost of people's groceries. going up, the cost of gas. And I think.

that's why this reflecting pool issue is. really like I think hit the American. public a certain way. And the reason why. everyone's talking about it is because. people realize that why is the. government spending so much time and. energy and resources on the pool when it. was perfectly fine when. prices are going up, when people can't. afford the rent, when healthcare is. being rolled back. And so the priorities. here are just completely off. We're. going to war. and a war that nobody wants. We're.

spending money on fixing up monuments. while people can't afford childcare and. food on the table. That's I think the. big issue. >> Well, you know, the the Republicans and. right-wing media will say that, you. know, as if they're born yesterday, they'll just say, "Oh, this is the. Democrats' fault for focusing on all of. this and and it's a reflection of the. Democrats' priorities." And so what. would you say to that? >> It's not our It's not our priority. We're We're not the ones uh trying. trying to direct money. uh for vanity projects. We're not the. one trying to destroy a memorial to.

President Kennedy. We're not the one. that raised part of the White House with. no oversight and then try to get. permission after the fact. This has all. been directed by Donald Trump. And I think for us, we're trying to hold. Trump and his administration accountable. for all the wrong, whether it's the. Qatari plane he's about to get, uh. whether it's stealing billions of. dollars, uh whether it's enriching him. his family uh. for God knows how much money with his.

crypto scheme, selling pardon, selling. access to the White House. These are. serious, in our opinion, really really. serious possible crimes. But things like the pool, those they. also matter because these are national. treasures. I mean, these are things that. people. know. And And And when I talk to folks. and talk to folks here in DC, um they view it as corruption. You're. giving contracts to friends. if it's. going to happen at the pool, it's. certainly happening at the Pentagon and. it's happening everywhere else. >> Right. Right. I mean Don Jr.'s $620. million contract for a startup that he.

was a part of is a testament to exactly. that. Um Congressman, I don't want to. put words in your mouth, but it seems to. me like you may not be on board with the. whole elusive vandals coming under the. cloak of darkness to cut a football. length football field length gash in the. pool lining. >> I mean that is like the biggest. of all time. I mean Donald Trump is a. liar, but he's This guy is the This guy. is the biggest liar in the history of. American politics. I mean the. gaslighting to to actually tell the.

American people and and the press that. um you know someone somehow somehow. someone went by and slashed the bottom. of the pool. uh and that vandalism somehow is what. created all the algae. You're giving me. a break. We we've we're all seeing we we. all have eyes. >> Yeah. >> Like we're all seeing the the what's. going on with the pool. We're all seeing. the paint come up to the top. We're all. We're all seeing the massive amounts of. algae. We're all seeing the workers. dumping in chemicals try to fix the. problem. And we're also all seeing the.

wildlife that of course it's just sad. The whole thing is is upsetting and sad. And I think that um on top of that uh. that's where Donald Trump's attention. is. He holds these huge press. conferences in the Oval Office to talk. about the ballroom or talk about the. arts. I mean give me a break. All the. press conference talk about lowering gas. prices or. or ending this war that's costing us. over a billion dollars a day. This is. just again, why the hell are we is. anyone supporting Donald Trump anymore.

at this point? The guy's lost The guy. has lost it. He's lost it. And it's time. for the Republican Party to honestly. grow a pair and take him on. It's just. not happening. >> Well, in terms of holding a press. conference about lowering costs, that. was literally on the docket for today. Uh we're recording this on Wednesday. Republicans were supposed to have this. big bill signing ceremony for the. housing bill, a bipartisan achievement. that would for once actually show that. Donald Trump was holding true to one. small aspect of his agenda, and even.

that was canceled. And so, can I get. your reactions to the fact that Donald. Trump decided that it was more important. to hold the housing bill hostage so that. he can try and rig future elections than. actually deliver some semblance of. affordability to Americans. >> I mean, crazy that um for once Congress. was able to get together and do. something in a bipartisan way. It's a. massive housing bill. People have been. working on this uh pieces of this for. years, by the way. Uh and and and and. everyone agrees. I mean, whether from. Elizabeth Warren to some of the more.

conservative members uh in the Senate or. in the House that this could actually. help lower costs. It could have It could. accelerate building. It could really. help people get finance. All those. things are possible. And it's passed the. Senate and the House. Donald Trump has a. signing ceremony ready in the Capitol, and he chooses to not attend and cancel. the ceremony. as it was about to start because he's. interested in passing this idiotic SAVE. Act. That all all that does is basically. make it harder for people to vote, especially for women or people that have.

recently moved. I mean, >> Yeah. >> it's crazy. And it's going to get. nowhere in the Senate. So, Donald Trump. just does not care about people. He. cares about himself, his pet projects, and rigging elections. >> I I just don't understand, and maybe you. can help uh shine a light on this, what. what Trump has to gain from this. The. SAVE Act, as you said, is going nowhere. It requires 60 votes. That means you. need Democrats to cross over and support. this thing. You're not going to have any. Democrats who are going to support this. thing. So, recognizing that there is no.

avenue for the SAVE Act to move forward, why hold his own achievement hostage for. something that is DOA? >> Because he doesn't really care about it. >> Right. >> He he He just doesn't care about things. that actually are going to make life. more affordable for our working. families. He doesn't care and I think. that's pretty clear. He What he does. care about is building himself a new. ballroom and he cares about giving his. friends contracts. He cares about. enriching his family and his sons. Um. you know, Donald Trump has become.

infinitely wealthier. His friends have gotten a bunch of tax. cuts. Companies that he's invested in are are. now growing. I mean, the. It's happening. I mean, we he this is a. corrupt president and a corrupt. administration. and I think we have to be those of us on. on the left and those of us as whether. it's Democrats or progressives, we've. got to be louder, push stronger cuz the. American people are with us. So, we. we've just got to be more aggressive. >> In terms of what the mechanics are of.

next steps here, if Donald Trump's not. going to sign this, can you speak about. what different avenues can take place uh. for this to either get vetoed, pocket. vetoed, become law? Just give like a a. kind of a process update. >> I mean, it could still become law. obviously. You know, Donald Trump could. have just allowed it to become to become. law. He could he could do a sign I think. he's going to do a signing ceremony. I. think the pressure amongst the. Republican senators, I think he's going. to be pressured into doing the right. thing and the American public including. his base should push that. But now we.

don't know. I mean, he's holding the. house hostage as well. If we were going. to have a series of votes, that's off the table. Uh Republicans. can't get their act together uh to to. get basic votes on onto the floor. Um. and we're now waiting for what's going. to happen on this big housing bill. It's. it's basically just Republican. dysfunction and I think it's time for a. big change and I hope the American. public is ready. We need to turn the. page on the Trump era. This has been the. worst moments in in a in a in modern. American history and you have this.

corrupt president who's clearly not. interested in helping anybody but. himself and his family. Um and my my. guess is that point he's going to sign. this housing bill. I mean he has to. but the fact that he's holding the. country hostage I think is really. unfortunate. It's Yeah and again. like you said puts his own priorities on. full display because this was an. opportunity for him to take a bipartisan. win and actually hold true to his own. agenda and he cares so little about this. that he wasn't even willing to do. exactly that. With that said Congressman thank you so. much for taking the time appreciate it.

Thanks so much. >> To listen to the audio version of this. episode click the link right here on the. screen and please make sure to subscribe. and of course to see more video content. that subscribe button's on the screen as. well. >> [music].
