Trump CRASHES OUT in Oval as IRAN REJECTS MEETING!!!

Donald Trump is spiraling in the Oval. Office as Iran has made it clear it is. not having any meetings with the United. States in the next 24 to 48 hours. Donald Trump, in order to manipulate the. markets, claimed earlier in the day that. Iran has called they want to do a. meeting. And this followed Barak Ravid, Donald Trump's personal stenographer, yesterday also posting, "The United. States said it had productive. conversations with Iran after the United. States struck Iran twice and things are.

going super well." is what Ravid said. yesterday. I'll tell you what he said. earlier in the day as well. But Trump. posted, "Iran has requested a meeting. It will take place tomorrow in Doha.". And then you had Barak Ravid post, "Update. Special Envoy Witcoff and Jared. Kushner will depart today for Doha, where they will meet on Tuesday with the. Prime Minister of Qatar and additional. senior officials to discuss talks with. Iran." Just pause there. Do you know. what's missing from that sentence? Iran.

There's no mention of Iran. So, we're. sending Kushner and Witcoff to speak to. mediators in Doha, and Iran's not. showing up. But the way Ravid tried to. post it or write about it, and other. senior officials, not of Iran, of Qatar, >> [laughter]. >> of other countries. On Wednesday, the. technical teams of the United States and. Iran are expected to hold separate. meetings with the mediators from Qatar. and Pakistan, according to a senior.

White House official. And notice there, it doesn't say they're meeting together. It says the technical teams are expected. to hold separate meetings. Do you see. the writing to make it seem like there's. meetings taking place, but there's. actually no meetings taking place? Here's what Iran's foreign minister. said. Iran's foreign ministry. spokesperson has said the following, "No. talks are currently scheduled for the. coming days. In the coming days, there. will be no negotiations and no meetings.

at any level with the United States. They paid it very, very clear. Yet on. NewsNation, another outlet that Donald. Trump goes to to, I think, spread a lot. of this propaganda, they write, "A diplomat with knowledge. of the talks tells me that tomorrow, Tuesday, Whitcoff and Kushner will meet. in Doha with the Qatari Prime Minister. and other officials in order to discuss. negotiations with Iran. The following. day, technical teams from both the US.

and Iran will meet separately with. Qatari and Pakistani mediators." Iran. says, "That ain't happening." But Trump. manipulated the markets. They were up. significantly today. Had there been. those strikes. by the United States before the markets. closed on Friday, you would have seen. the market absolutely tank. This is. unadulterated market manipulation, folks. Isn't it just so obvious what is. happening? So, what's Donald Trump. saying? You know, he's got to move on. He's got to do the WMD, weapon of mass.

distraction. So, Donald Trump goes, "The. reflecting pool, which suffered great. damage due to the vandals and radical. left scum that hate our country, has. been for the past 2 days in full. operation." He talks about a 350-ft gash. from the sharp knives by these vandals. But everything is perfect. And if anyone. attacks them, they will get 10 years for. attacking it in jail. If you attack the. reflecting pool with a knife, you're. going to get 10 years. So, anyway, then.

Donald Trump goes into the Oval Office, and people are like, "You want to talk. about this?" Like, "No." Okay, what do. you want to talk about, Donald? I want. to talk about the Save America Act, which is his voting suppression act. Okay, what about the housing bill? Okay, you want to talk about the Are you going. to sign the housing bill, Donald? The. housing affordability bill, which was. passed on a bipartisan basis? then. Donald Trump's like, "It's a big yawn. It's a housing affordability. It's a big. yawn." Watch what Trump says. Let's play.

it. >> 100, 200, 300, 400, 500%. You know that. >> But, will you sign that housing bill? >> I I have not It hasn't been sent to me. yet. It's coming, I understand, and then. I'll make Then I'll make a decision. Here's what I I would like to sign, much. more than a bill that big deal. It's a. yawn. Some people say it's wonderful. Uh. to me, compared to the Save America Act, just about everything is a big yawn. >> Okay, so a reporter says, "All right, Donald. New York City Mayor Zohran.

Mamdani said that he's open to being the. poster child for socialist candidates. because he's delivering for the American. people, and regardless of what label you. want to give him, shouldn't we care. about the results?" To which Donald. Trump says, "The big He's a communist, and the biggest threats to this country, bigger than World War I, World War II, and 9/11. are these communists like Mamdani, and. that is the biggest threat." I mean, just think about how dangerous the.

rhetoric from this psychopath is. Here, play this clip. >> It really topped everything by a lot. today. Yeah. >> Mr. President, Zohran Mamdani said in an. interview this week that he was open to. being the poster child for socialist. candidates. Are you worried about more. socialist candidates across the United. States? >> big threat to our nation, actually. Because it's not socialism, it's really. communism. They use the word social democrat cuz it. sounds so nice, but. it's really communism you're talking. about. I think it's the biggest threat. to our nation.

there is, maybe since our founding. That includes World War I, World War II, September 11th. It includes. the Pearl Harbor attack. I think this is the biggest threat. to our nation. People will smile when I. say that, but the smart people are going. to say, "You know, he's probably right.". It's basically introducing communism. into the United States of America. There's never been anything so. dangerous. >> Then Donald Trump is asked, "So, what. are your plan? Do you have a plan for.

the housing bill?" And he says like, "Look, look, look, look, look, look. No. one knows housing like me. I got very. rich off of No No one knows housing like. me. And by the way, one of the reasons. why Donald Trump does not support the. housing bill, in addition to the fact. that it's not his idea and it doesn't. have his name on it, is because he views. housing as a zero-sum game, and that if. you help first-time homeowners or others. who can't afford, Trump's view is you're. taking housing away from him and his. private equity buds. That's how he feels.

about it. Listen to what he has to say. Play this clip. >> What are your plans for the housing. bill, Mr. President? Are you still. >> I don't know. I think it's so. unimportant by compared to by compared. to the Save America I think this the. Save America Act is exactly what it. says. It's saving America from crooked. elections. And the housing bill is a bill that can. get approved. They worked on it long and. hard. It's very. bipartisan. That means the Democrats.

like it. I think it's. maybe even uh. It's It's probably maybe more that way. than any things that I wouldn't. necessarily agree to. Nobody knows more. than housing in the history of the. presidency. Nobody Nobody did well like. me in housing. >> What about the. >> I made a lot of money. I made a lot of money. I made a lot of. money with housing. Uh but when I look at that bill, it's a bill. But when I look at the Save America Act,

it's about saving America. And I'd like to have the Save America. Act added, and that's probably not going. to happen. Because we have four Republican. senators, maybe five, that. just won't vote for it. crazy. Somebody like Lisa Murkowski. from Alaska. Uh nobody's done more for. Alaska than me. She's. uh. Trump deranged. What can I tell you? >> Isn't it notable that just a few days. back Caroline Levitt, Donald Trump's. press secretary propagandist, said,

"Tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. on Capitol Hill, Trump will sign into law the 20th. Century Road to Housing Act, one of the. most significant pieces of housing. affordability legislation in American. history. This bipartisan bill includes. policies long championed by the. president. It cuts necessary red tape, helps increase housing supply, and. limits the ability of large. institutional investors to purchase. single-family homes. As the president. has said, homes should be owned by. American families, not large. corporations. President Trump promised. to lower housing costs, and he is. delivering, making it easier for every.

family to achieve the American dream of. homeownership." Tomorrow's historic bill. signing is another promise promises. kept. Now, Trump on the housing big. housing bill, big deal, big yawn. And. hey Donald, you're done with the market. manipulation, now you want to trash. housing affordability. I want to bring. in Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren. to talk about that housing bill. Let's. bring in Senator Warren. I have a lot. more questions I want to ask her as. well. Senator, so great to see you. You.

know, so many Americans I think were. like, "Wow, bipartisanship. We have Senator Warren and Senator Scott. completely opposite ends of the. so-called political spectrum or. whatever, but we've done a housing bill, private equity can be limited in. scooping up these homes, especially from. first-time homeowners. This is going to. be great." And I said, "Okay, I'm going. to do a story this morning that says, 'Great work, Donald Trump, housing bill, affordability, great work, Senate.'" I.

was going to do that story. And then the. guy doesn't show up, blows it up, turns. it about himself, and I go, "What? No, it's so predictable yet so unfortunate. that that's the system that we're in. Talk to us about it from your. perspective. >> So, so first of all, let me just set the. stage for you. You know, we've worked on. this thing for a year and a half because. we are in a housing crisis. Prices are too high. They're too high. for home buyers. They're too high for. renters. The average age of a first-time. home buyer in America now is 40 years.

old because of how high housing prices. are. So, what has Congress done for 35. years? They say, "Damn, price of. housing's gone up.". And that's it. That's that's been how. the United States Congress has. responded. So, started putting people together and. saying, get put an idea in the in the box here. that would help lower the cost of. building new housing. Just or or.

renovating existing housing. And somebody pitched in something on. about how you could smooth out some. environmental regulations. Cool. What. else you got? And somebody else pitched. in something that said, "You know what? There's this requirement on on. manufactured housing, they have a. chassis in it. You take that requirement. out and it becomes $10,000 cheaper to. build one." Cool. Um. I got together with Senator [laughter].

Kennedy. to do something we call carrots and. sticks. Federal government gives a lot. of money to cities all around America. every year. And basically we said, "We. don't care how you do it. But if you're building more housing, you. get more of that money. And if you're not building housing, you. get less of that money. Right? Um I had an innovation fund that. said if you'll really go in on ways to. lower the cost of building,

we, the federal government, will be a. good partner and put up money to help. buy you an elementary school or, you. know, something sexy like. new sewage treatment plant. You know, the things you need when you're building. more. So, we put all those together. There are. nearly 50 of them. And then we add the private equity piece. to keep private equity boxed out of. residential housing. We get this bill that passes the Senate,

final passage last Monday. We could go. right now, tonight. Passes the Senate 85 to 5. Passes the House on Tuesday night. Woohoo! By I think an even bigger. margin. Then it's Wednesday morning and Donald. Trump has announced the night before. he's coming over to Congress cuz he's. going to have lunch with the Senate. Republicans. And while he's here, he's going to sign. the bill. So,

they lay out the red carpet, and I mean. that literally. They build the stage. They put the flags up on the stage. They. have the fancy desk and the chair. And. all the Republicans are out there. Man, they're tweeting like crazy about I'm. getting my thing in the bill. And my. view is good. Success has many mothers. Let it happen. I think this is great. Democrats are tweeting about it, too. And then, 2 [clears throat] hours ahead. of time, Donald Trump says, "I'm not. coming. I'm not going to do it. Not. going to sign it.".

Not going to sign it. >> [snorts]. >> So, he hasn't vetoed it. Hasn't signed it. So, that brings us up to now. And what he says now is that it just. doesn't matter. So, we got all these ways to lower costs. on the the price of housing. And Donald. Trump. just doesn't care. And he openly says. so. The guy who ran for president.

saying, "I will lower costs on day one.". Remember that? Ran for a year, said, "I will lower. costs on day one.". That is the guy. who now, we're on day 500 whatever, cost of groceries is up, cost of. gasoline is up, cost of utilities is up, cost of health care is up. Oh, and the. cost of housing is up. We've got a bill here. that could help bring down one of those.

costs. And he says he just doesn't care. Not he's mad, not there's something. better in it. He just don't care. I. I really am stunned. >> You know, when I hear him though, and. yeah, he says that, but some of the. other stuff he seems to say though, to. me is equally telling where he seems to. view housing, like so many things, as a. zero-sum game. And that if you are going. to be giving housing to new homeowners.

and helping people get housing, that in. his mind, that's taking it away from him. and his people and his crew. And so, it. actually seems in a way to me that his. bluff got called on housing. Like we've. seen a lot now in this Epstein files, it. reaches its conclusion, you see that he. was he was the cabal, he was the. cover-up to begin with. He hates the. JCPOA, but never had an alter. Healthcare, he never had a plan. And so,

you take this to its logical conclusion, and he actually seems that he's. doesn't want housing. Like to me, it's. even deep, you know, and now they're. trying to say, "Well, it was because we. want save America," which is the voter. suppression act. But it actually seems. his intentions are revealed that he. actually doesn't want new housing cuz he. views that as a harm to his rich. friends. >> You know, it's really interesting how. you would you would draw that connection. cuz look at what happened. Why are all those costs that I was just. talking about up? Right? It's not.

gravity. It's not going to like, "Oh, that's just how two molecules react when. they bump into each other.". It's policies that he followed. It's his tariff policies have driven up. costs. His energy policies have driven. up costs. Lordy, his healthcare policies. have driven costs through the roof for. millions of Americans. And his bombing. uh halfway around the world and closing. the Strait of Hormuz has driven up.

costs. All of his policies. have pushed costs up. And as you say, here is the one time I. I hadn't thought about it the way you. describe it. We actually call his bluff. and say, "Here's a way you could bring. down costs." But it's bringing down. costs. for working people. It's getting more. apartments built. It's getting more.

um manufactured housing built, which is. often the most affordable. It's getting. access to more single-family homes. And. Trump. I guess is not seeing a big profit. opportunity for the Trump family or for. the his close in buddies. Um. And all I can say is I sure hope we keep. talking about this. Um because Donald Trump has forfeited.

any right to say that he cares. about the economic circumstances. of hardworking American families. He's. proven he doesn't. >> Right. I mean, if you even at the. horrific, catastrophic consequences of. this unlawful war in Iran, I mean, we. even see this past weekend what seemed. to be more and more market manipulation. yet again. 4:05, 4:10, markets close, we.

bomb Iran. Then I could just pre- it's so bizarre. to be able to predict these things and. you go, "Okay. All right, on Sunday, once the futures. markets are about to open, I bet you I. say this on my show, we'll get a post I. I know the guy who's even going to do. it. Like it's so obvious. I go, "Barak. Ravid from Axios, he's going to post. we're made very good, productive talks. and that things are going to go great.". And boom, an hour before the futures market, there.

they go. There's the post and Iran's. like, "We don't even know what you're. talking about, but okay." And then the. market reacts to it and, you know, it. goes from what, you know, the the what. could have been a horrible, you know, market. The American people aren't. benefiting from this, but then it's all. of a sudden, boom, the it's green. You. know, and it's just like people and. people see it now and they're like, "What are you even doing? What What is. this?". >> Right. You know, but the part that keeps. going forward is the Trump corruption. Just.

make no mistake. He has time and. attention. to do two things. One is to keep these pieces going where, oh, he's cutting another deal and it. just turns out his sons will make. millions of dollars off it, right? Oh, he sends his son-in-law to the Middle. East to negotiate peace and while he's. there, he's going to sell his deals for. a sovereign wealth fund, right? He's. going to buddy up with the Qataris while. they give him his $400 million jet. His.

crypto, right? A place to do bribery. right out where anybody can see it. So, all of that continues, right? On on one. axis and the other axis is. he spends his time on the details of his. golden crusted ballroom, uh his triumphal arch, his reflecting. pool. Those are the two things. He used the.

presidency. to. to just grift, just to make as much. money personally as he can. Plus. use it for vanity projects, things that. he thinks are going to reflect well on. him. And the American people. folks who have fallen behind again this. year since Donald Trump has been. president, families have fallen further. and further behind, inflation is up,

cost of all those goods is up. And like I said Donald Trump just. doesn't care. It's about making money. for himself and his buddies. And it's about. it's about flattering Donald Trump's ego. and those are the It seems to me the. only two things he cares about anymore. >> Yeah, and before we go, one of the. things that I used to respect about the. Senate is the seriousness with which. work was approached. And you may have a. different approach than say a Republican.

senator, but. you weren't running Enron or Bernie. Madoff's enterprise as a sen- you know, who who was in leadership. I mean, it. was here's our here are the right. numbers, here's our approach, here's. their approach, can we reach comp-. that's at least what I grew up with, what I thought. Now, what it seems is. the United States Senate when it's. controlled by Republicans is like Enron. in its last days or like the Madoff and. it's it is literally used cooking the.

books and using fake numbers that aren't. real. $21. outrageously fake numbers. And then when. you are conducting these hearings and. cross-examining the different nominees. and people in Trump's orbit and you're. asking them very basic questions. What. is inflation currently? Is that more or. is that less than the Oh, well, madam. say madam senator I'm just asking is it. more? Now here is wage growth. Is it.

more or is it less than wage growth? Well, I can't just Can you answer the. question? And so the idea that we that. this whole thing, I think in the. American people see it and you cross. examine these Trump witnesses and expose. it on a weekly basis. That's what's. going to It's like a It's like Bernie. Madoff. It's like a Trump organization. being run by your Republican colleagues. >> Yeah. You know, on this kind of thing. the. I've gotten to where I do. I just ask.

the most basic facts. These aren't. things like well, there's a Democratic. view of this and a Republican view of. it. I really was the one you're talking. about here. I'm asking the guy who wants. to be the head of the Council of. Economic Advisers. And do you know what. the statute actually says? The job of this person is to give the. President of the United States. independent economic advice. Make sure that the President knows what.

reality is. So I start him with the most basic. questions. What's inflation running at. today? And you know, it's right there. You can see it. It's right there. You. can see it. We had just gotten the. reports from the federal government. It's there and blah blah the guy cannot. give an answer. So I give him the. answer. And is that higher or lower than it was. when Donald Trump was sworn in?

Can't give an answer. I give him the. answer. So, he said higher or lower. It's It's this It's like pulling teeth. And And the importance of that. is this means that one of the people. whose legal responsibility. is to sit near the president and say, "Mr. President, I know you want to do. this thing, but we've got a problem over here. And. here's what the problem looks like.". This is a guy who cannot even answer a.

basic factual question. I think that disqualifies him. for this job. And I am deeply. deeply worried about the fact that. that's exactly who Donald Trump picks to. be his economic advisor. I think of it. as just insulating Donald Trump from. reality. That's what he wants, and he'll. pull it off as long as the Republicans.

let him get away with it. >> Well, you going to let him get away with. it or what uh. >> [laughter]. >> Well, I mean, just just just talk very. briefly before we go about the, you. know, what this looks like differently. if Democrats take control. >> Oh, come on. Midterms, midterms, midterms. If Democrats take control, some things change dramatically. The. first one is that we are the ones who. become the chairs of the committee, and. we are the ones who run the two. chambers.

That means we bring things to a vote. that we want to bring to a vote. That. means that we conduct investigations. that we want to conduct. That means we. get subpoenas to get people in to answer. questions. And that is huge. [snorts]. The second part, if we can get a. majority in the House and the Senate, please. If we can do that, it means we. can actually start passing some laws. that are good for the American people.

We can undo some of the terrible stuff. that's in the Trump budget on health. care, on grotesque. tax gifts. to billionaires and a trillionaire. And we can start forcing. these. the Trump administration to actually. spend the money that Congress has told. them to spend on things like research. and on health care and and on transit.

You know, the things that actually keep. our country going. So, it's it's not as good as having the. House, the Senate and the White House. That's I hope what we're going to do in. 2028. But getting majorities in the House and. the Senate. in this next midterm. can make a huge difference. Huge. >> Senator Warren, thanks so much for your. time. We appreciate all you do.
