Trump UNRAVELS with INSANE new update
I'm joined now by Congressman Jared. Moskowitz. Congressman, thanks for. joining me. Hey Brian, good to be with. you. So, I want to get your reaction to. an announcement that Donald Trump made. this morning that's uh raising a lot of. eyebrows here, and that is the United. States is the largest oil producer in. the world by far. So, when oil prices go. up, we make a lot of money. And then he. goes on to say, but the the the issue of. greater importance to him, of course, is. stopping Iran from having nuclear. weapons, which is clearly why he decided. to blow up the Iran nuclear deal. But, all of that notwithstanding, your. reaction to this new talking point from.
Donald Trump that actually high oil high. oil prices, high gas prices are good. Well, I guess I could say that he's def-. definitely testing his theory that he. could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and. get away with it because this is. obviously. this is he's going to try to defy. gravity here. Okay, everybody knows that. when they go to the gas pump, they're. going to see what they're paying, right? That is where all the talking points and. all the propaganda and all the spin, all. the marketing, all the sales that Trump. tries to do, all of that dies at the gas.
pump because math is still math. People. can see that they're paying more for gas. as a result of the president's strategy. and plans. And so, listen, this is not. going to work out how he thinks. He's. not going to be able to convince the. American people that we're making more. money. Who is the we? It's not the. American people who are suffering every. day, obviously under this economy as. costs continue to to go up. And so, this. is not going to work out for the. president. The president's going to see. that he's not going to defy gravity when.
it comes to gas prices. Well, so I think. you you touched on something really. important there. On the we, isn't the we in this scenario. just the oil and gas companies? Like, isn't that aren't these. multi-billion-dollar multinational. conglomerates the the entities that he's. referring to here when he beats his. chest about making more money? Well, I listen, that might be for his. donors, it might be for the. conglomerates, right? The American. people aren't in the we, okay? That is. not that is not the we. It is not the. it's not the folks, by the way, Brian, who are going to go to the ballot box in.
the primaries and in the general right. around the corner. It certainly ain't. those people, okay? Because those people. are going to be bearing the brunt. It's. why you've seen, you know, special. elections and other elections not going. the way Republicans had hoped. And now. you add to this gas prices going up. after they've dealt with grocery prices. going up, uh you know, they are going to face a tsunami at the. ballot box. You know, something that. that's especially striking about this is.
this is the issue on which, you know, Trump ran. Like, he exploited the issue. of of higher costs that that regular. people were uh were were enduring when. he was on the campaign trail. And so, what does it say that Donald Trump will. will not only, you know, recognize that. this is a potent political issue, but. it's it's an issue that was so potent, he basically won the presidency off of. it and now is just pretending that it. doesn't even exist. Let me say it Let me. say it a different way, okay? Donald. Trump is under water on the two issues.
that the poll say he got elected on. One. was the economy and two is immigration. He's ruined both of those things, okay? He's ruined it by what he did. all over the country and in Minnesota. and what he did with TPS, okay? He's. absolutely destroyed himself with Kristi. Noem on immigration. And now on the. economy, right, he told everyone Joe. Biden's policies were terrible. Bidenomics are awful. And yet, he's. literally bringing us back to what he. said was terrible. Gas prices, cost of. living, cost of groceries. But now he's.
going to tell everyone everything's. fine, right? Don't look at the math. Don't look at the gas pump. It's not. going to work. We By the way, we tried. that. We tried in the last election to. tell people how to feel, right? We tried. to tell them things are getting better. Don't worry. We tried to do that. But at. the end of the day, the bills still show. up at the kitchen table. Yep. And every. time someone brings their car to the gas. station, they're going to see that bill. And every time the, you know, the. utility bill shows up on the kitchen.
table, they're going to see that bill. Okay? And and the propaganda ain't it. doesn't not going to go further than, you know, when people have less money in. their savings account because of the. president's policies. >> Right, I think that's perfectly put. And. in fact, one of the issues that he tried. to exploit on the campaign trail against. the Democrats was the idea of housing. Um there is uh legislation that's. working its way through the Senate right. now that's called the 21st Century Road. to Housing Act. Again, that's. Republicans kind of. uh uh hewing closely to what they said.
on the campaign trail that they cared. about the cost of of rent and housing. and groceries and eggs. And so, now. there's a big piece of bipartisan. legislation. It was it was put forward. by Elizabeth Warren and also Tim Scott. on the Republican side. And according to. Punchbowl News from today, Donald Trump. wants Mike Johnson not to focus on this. bill because he wants all the focus to. be on the Save America Act so we can. have some voter suppression suppression. legislation. And what he told Mike. Johnson was, quote, "No one gives a.
bleep about housing." So, another instance of him doing exactly. the opposite of what he kind of ran on. during the campaign. Yeah, listen, you know, we thought. the affordability is a hoax was a great. line, which now the president stopped. using, of course, after all of his. consultants and pollsters said, "Stop. saying that, please." Now we're hearing, you know, "No one cares about the cost. of housing," right? So, we got. affordability is a hoax, high gasoline. prices, you're going to love them,
they're fantastic. And by the way, the. cost of your house and the cost of your. rent, nobody gives a I mean, those. commercials are going to be crazy to. watch. Those those mailers that are. going to go out. Can you imagine? You. turn on the TV and it's like, "Are you. headed to the polls in 2 weeks? Higher. gas prices, higher housing, higher. grocery prices. These are fantastic for. you, the American people. Vote for us.". This is their plan? And finally, Congressman, one one last one last topic. here, and that is the Shield of the.
Americas, which is the uh the. the very important um I don't even know. what it is, but Kristi Noem was. relegated. >> it is. The I know what it is. The. president was watching Endgame, the last. Avengers Uh Well, well, Kristi Noem lost. her job as DHS secretary. She's been. relegated to the very important position. as, I don't know, head shield at the. Shield of Americas. There was some event. uh to honor the Shield of Americas that. Donald Trump went to, and Kristi Noem. was there wasn't even featured. She was. just relegated to audience member, even. though she's going to be the special. envoy or whatever her position calls.
for. So, uh your reaction to to this. latest this latest job move from Kristi. Noem. Yeah, I mean, first of all, I. congratulate the former secretary of. Homeland on her new position as head of. the Shield of the Americas. Obviously, President so much faith in her that he. refused to even include her in the. announcement. She was literally just an. audience member. Which, by the way, is. what he did with her at his last cabinet. meeting. He wouldn't even let her speak. at at the last cabinet meeting. And so, listen,
ding-dong, the witch is dead. I'm glad. that she's no longer there. I'm glad. that she's at that she's gone. She's. absolutely destroyed that agency. She's. really hurt FEMA. FEMA We don't talk a. lot about FEMA cuz we haven't had a. hurricane to deal with FEMA. But, what. you're going to find out is the damage, systemic damage she's caused at FEMA. It. will take years to rebuild FEMA. And so, hopefully we don't have a major. hurricane this summer because I can tell. you that agency has a lot of good people. there, but they're not ready because of. what she's done And then the corruption.
You think the $200 million. commercial contract is bad. Wait till. you hear about the internal lobbyists. that were making money, people who work. there, Corey Lewandowski, who was also. making money as a lobbyist, tens of. millions of dollars allegedly is what. is what I'm hearing. And a quote came. out from Corey Lewandowski the other day. said, "I don't give a you know, the president will pardon me." Well, it's not going to pardon you from state. crimes. And so, look, when we get that gavel. back, where Robert Garcia gets the gavel. and Jamie Raskin gets the gavel, man,
those hearings are going to be. much-watched television. What we're what. we're going to find out that went on in. Homeland Security under Kristi Noem. Probably. the worst secretary people are happy to. have a national divorce from her on. biblical grounds. You know, you. I want to to dig into that that part as. as just in the in the few minutes that. we have left here. This idea that when Democrats get the. gavel, they'll be able to they'll be. able to do proper oversight on on some. of the stuff that we've been seeing. You.
know, one of one of the issues is the. Epstein files. Obviously, the Trump. administration will protect anybody from. being called in so long as they're not. named Bill or Hillary Clinton. Do you. presume that some of these Trump. administration officials, like Howard. Lutnick, for example, who have been able. to to avoid being subpoenaed because. everybody knows that Jim Comer won't. subpoena them and that and that Pam. Bondi won't enforce any subpoena, do you. think we'll see some some difference. here when Democrats are actually in. control? Oh, yeah. And and by the way, Lutnick is. coming. Right, Lutnick is coming.
They've subpoenaed Lutnick. So, he he'll. be he'll be appearing in oversight. Pam. Bondi will be appearing in oversight. again. They're they're coming, but it's. going to be very different when we can. all all of a sudden get bank records. Right? When you can start following the. money, And so, also, Maureen Comey, for example, led the. investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and. Ghislaine Maxwell. And not only was she. fired, but now we haven't heard anything. from her. And she'll have all, you know, a a wealth of information on on all of. this stuff that that otherwise wouldn't. come into that we would know. And Brian, this is why the president is incessantly.
focused on the Save Act, okay? The. reason it's called the Save Act is. because he's trying to save himself. Okay? >> Yeah. That's why it's called the Save. Act. The only way he can save himself is. to disenfranchise Americans from voting. at the ballot box because come November. when we do get a chance to vote, they. are going to lose the House and maybe. the Senate. And when that happens, the. next 2 years are going to be very. different than the first two years in. which the president has had unfettered.
reign. Right? He's had no oversight from. Republicans on the house, no oversight. from Republicans in the Senate. The. executive branch has acted like a king. because there's been Article 1 of the. Constitution seems to not matter to Mike. Johnson. And so it'll be a very different when we. can put brakes on the administration, when we at least take back the house and. make Hakeem Jeffries the speaker. First. black speaker in American history. When. Hakeem holds that gavel up, it's not. just going to be a historic moment for.
America. It's going to be a historic. moment for the next two years of the. Trump administration. We'll leave it. there. Congressman, as always, thanks. for the time. Thank you.
