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 Barack Revead Donald Trump's personal stenographer yesterday also posting. The United States had had productive conversations with Iran after the United States struck
Iran twice, and things are going super well as what Reveads 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 Barack Revead post update.
Special envoy Whitkoff 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 Whitkoff to speak to mediators in Doha, and Iran's not showing up, but the way Revead tried to post it or write about it and other senior officials, not of Iran, of Qatar, 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. This is 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 meeting 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. And it very, very clear, yet on news nation, 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, Whitkoff 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 U.S. 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? He's got to move on. He's got to do the WMD, we'll have been a mass distraction. So Donald Trump goes, they're reflecting pool, which suffered great damage due to the
vandals in radical-left scum that hate our country has been for the past two days in full operation. He talks about a 350-foot 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 their reflecting pool at the knife, you're going to get 10 years anyway. Then Donald Trump goes into the oval office and people like, "You want to talk about this?"
Like, "No.
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?
“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 yon." This housing affordability, it's a big yon, lots of Trump says, "Let's play it." 100-300-400-500 percent, you know that? But will you sign that housing bill?
It hasn't been sent to me yet. It's coming. I understand. And then I'll make it. Then I'll make it.
Here's what I would like to sign, much more than a bill that big deal.
It's a yon. Trump, because it's wonderful. To me, compared to the Save America Act, just about everything is a big, yon. Okay, so the report is says, "All right, Donald New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdoni 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. For these communists like Mamdoni, and that is the biggest right.
I mean, just think about how dangerous the rhetoric from the psycho path is, here, play this clip. And really, topped everything by a lot today. Yeah. Zoran Mamdoni 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?”
It's a big threat to our nation, actually. Because it's not socialism, it's really communism. They use the word social democrat, because it sounds so nice. It's really communism, I think it's the biggest threat to our nation. There is, maybe since our founding, then it's the World War I, World War II, September
11, 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 will say, you know, it's probably right.
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 plans? Do you have a plan for the housing bill? It's like, look, look, look, no one knows housing like me. I got very rich off of 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 to say the 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 but 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?”
I don't know. I think it's so unimportant by compared to the same American. I think the Save America Act is exactly what it says that'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, and it may be even, it's probably maybe more that way they get any things that I would necessarily agree to. Nobody knows more than housing in the history of the presidency, nobody, nobody did well like me in housing, I made a lot of money, I made a lot of money with housing, but when
I look at that bill, it's a bill, but when I look at the Save America, it's about saving America, and I'd like to have the Save America Act editor, and that's probably not going to happen, because we have four Republicans, senators, maybe five, that just won't vote for it. It's crazy.
Somebody didn't believe him were cascading from Alaska, and nobody's done more for Alaska than me. She's a Trump deranged. What can I say? Isn't it notable that just a few days back, Caroline Levitt Donald Trump's press secretary
Propagandis said tomorrow at 12 p.m. on Capitol Hill, Trump will sign into law the 21st 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, home 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 home ownership. Tomorrow's historic bill citing, is another promise promises kept.
Now, Trump on the housing big, housing bill, big deal, big yon, and a Donald,...
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. It's bringing in Senator Warren. I have a lot more questions I want to ask her as well, Senator, so great to see you.
“So many Americans, I think, were like, wow, bipartisan ship.”
You have Senator Warren and Senator Scott completely opposite ends of the so-called political spectrum, whatever, but we've done a housing bill.
Private equity can be limited and 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, 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, first of all, let me just set this stage for you. We've worked on this thing for a year and a half, because we are in a housing crisis. Or too high, they're too high for homebuyers, they're too high for renters. The average age of first-time homebuyer in America now is 40 years old because of how high housing prices are.
So what does Congress done, but 35 years, they say, damn, right, so housing's gone up.
And that's it, that's been how the United States Congress has responded. So starting putting people together and saying, it put an idea in the box here that would help lower the cost of building new housing or renovating existing housing. And somebody pitched in something 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 manufacturing, housing, you have to have a chassis in it.”
You take that requirement out and it becomes $10,000 cheaper to build one. Cool. I got together with Senator 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? I had an innovation fund that said, if you're really going on ways to lower the cost of building, we, the federal government will be a good partner and put up money to help buy an elementary school or, you know, something sexy like a new sewage treatment plan,
you know, the things you need when you're building more. So we put all those together, they're nearly 50 of them, and then we have 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 8525, passes the house on Tuesday night, woohoo, by, I think”
it even bigger March and then it's Wednesday morning. And Donald Trump has announced the night before he's coming over to Congress because 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, devil crafts are tweeting about it too, and then two hours I had
a dime Donald Trump says, I'm not coming, I'm not going to do it, not going to sign it. Not going to sign it. 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 it got all these ways to lower costs on the price of housing and Donald Trump just
doesn't care. Any openly says so, that I have ran for President's saying, I will lower costs on day one. That ran for a year said, I will lower costs on day one, that is the guy who now, we're
On day 500 and whatever, cost of groceries is up, cost of gasoline is up, cos...
is up, cost of health care is up, oh, in 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. Howdy's man, not there's something bad and he just doesn't care, I really am stunned. 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're 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. We've seen a lot now in this Epstein files, it reaches its conclusion, you see that he was the cabal, he was the cover up to begin with.
He hates the JCPOA, but never had an altar, health care, he never had a plan, and so you
take this to its logical conclusion, and he actually seems that he doesn't want housing. To me, it's even deep, and now they're trying to say, "Well, it was because we want safe America," which is the voter suppression act, but it actually seems his intentions are revealed that he actually doesn't want new housing, because he views that as a harm to his rich friends.
You know, it's really interesting how you would draw that connection, because look at
“what happened, why are all those costs that I was just talking about up?”
It's not gravity, it's not 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 policy, sift driven up costs, his energy policies have driven up costs, Lordy, his health care policies have driven costs through the roof for millions of Americans, and his bombing halfway around the world, and closing the straight of four moves has driven up costs. All of his policies have pushed costs up, and as you say, here is the one time, I haven't
thought about it the way you describe it. We actually call this bluff, and say, here's the 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 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 his close-in buddies, and all I can say is, I sure hope we keep talking about this, 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 look 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, more of five or ten markets close, we bomber on.
And I could just predict, 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, I say this, I'm going to show, we'll get a post, I know the guy who's even going to do it, I get so obvious, I go, Barack Reveed from Axios, he's going to post, we're made very good, productive talks, and that, things are going to go great, and boom, and hour before
the futures market, there they go, there's the po, 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, that it could have been our horrible, you know, market, the American people aren't benefiting from this, but then it's all of this that in boom, it's green, you know, and it's just like, people see it now, and they're like,
what are you even doing, 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 at his sons, we'll make millions of dollars off it, right, oh, he sends his son-in-law
To the Middle East to New Garcia peace, and while he's there he's going to se...
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 one axis and the other axis is, he spends his time on the details of his golden-crested ballroom, his triumphal arch, his reflecting pool, those are the two things, use the presidency to just drift, just to make his 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 in further
behind, inflation is up, cost of all those goods is up, and Donald Trump just doesn't care, it's about making money for himself and his buddies, and it's about flattering Donald Trump's ego, and those things to me, the only two things he cares about anymore. 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
sender, but you weren't running enron or burning made-offs, enterprise, who was in leadership, I mean it was, here's the right numbers, here's our approach, here's their approach, can we reach a compromise, 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 made-off, and it is literally used, clicking the books, and using fake
numbers that aren't real, $21 trillion, it's completely fake, it's not you know, 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, then, oh well, Madam Senator, I'm just asking more, now here's wage growth, is it more, or is it less, then wage,
well, just can you answer the question, and so the idea that this whole thing, I think in the American people, see it, and you cross-exam in these Trump witnesses and expose
“it on a weekly basis, that's what's, it's like a, it's like Bernie made-off, it's like”
a Trump organization being run by your Republican colleagues. You know, on this kind of thing, I've gotten to where I did, I just say it's the most basic facts. These aren't things like, well, there's a Democratic view of this in a Republican view that 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 Advisors. 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 question. That'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 like pulling teeth. And the importance of that is this means that one of the people who's 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.
pull it off as long as the Republicans let him get away with it. Well, again, let him get away with
“it or what? I mean, just talk very briefly before we go about what this looks like differently”
of Democrats taking control. Come on, midterms, midterms, midterms. If Democrats take control,
some things change dramatically. 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 into answer questions. And that is huge.
The second part, if we can get a majority in the house of 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 healthcare. And on transit, you know, the things that actually keep our country going. So 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 2020, 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
