We have major news at this hour. Donald Trump just completely embarrassed House Republicans. Really never seen anything like this. And Republicans right now are fuming at the President of the United States. Yesterday, a major housing bill passed Congress previously passed the House. It passed the Senate. Only five senators, five Republican senators, but only five senators voted against this housing bill. It's a bipartisan bill. It's a landmark legislation that will try to drive down the cost of housing in the United States of America. Today, Donald Trump was supposed to take his victory lap. He was going to go to Congress, sign the bill in a major ceremony. You had Republicans there, you had Democrats there, reporters were there. Everyone was ready and then Trump just called it off. He called it off as House Republicans, as Mike Johnson and other leaders in the House were touting the bill literally on stage. At the same time, new bombshells uncovered by Liz Oyer, the former DOJ pardon attorney, shows that the DOJ is quietly moving to reshape the way inmates are transferred to prison. So much so if you oppose Trump, you could be sent to maximum security prisons alongside murderers, just because that's what the attorney general wants. I have the latest right now.

House members were speaking. Here's French Hill. I'm about to show you a senior Republican member of the United States House of Representatives. They were speaking on this housing bill. They wanted the housing bill across the finish line. They were ready to sign it. They had the lights, camera, action. I mean, everything was ready. Here was what French Hill was saying

French Hill
today in New York or somewhere. It's a legitimate issue. And Tim Scott and I found a way to put that into law that in our view, meets the president's test, but absolutely will not reduce capital flowing into housing, which has been my top goal, lower the cost of housing, make it more affordable, more accessible, encourage the banks to lend more that have been shut down since the global financial crisis in 2008. And this bill does that. And so I'm proud of the work that both chambers struggled through. For those of you who cover this every day, you know, the back and forth between the House and Senate. But it's a successful today. And I'm proud of the work of the House and Senate to get this, to get people to. Yes. And so I yield back.

And it's a good bill, right? Republicans touting it, Democrats touting it. It's a bill that people like across the board. But while French Hill was touting this bill with Mike Johnson to the right, Steve Scalise, Tom Emmer, Lisa McClain, I mean, all House leadership, while they were touting the bill, here's what was actually happening. Donald Trump was saying, today's housing news conference and signing is hereby canceled until such time we pass the desperately needed Save America act, which I consider to be a national emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter. He got all of the Republicans on stage in front of the press, waiting for him, talking about the bill, only to turn around and say, you know what? I'm just going to cancel it. I'm not going to leave the White House. I'm not going to come to Capitol Hill. I'm literally just embarrasses them on stage. And now it looks like they're going home. Senators are being told they could wrap up after the 4th of July recess by tonight, meaning no votes tomorrow, no decisions made yet, nothing. It looks like they're going home now. If Trump doesn't sign this housing bill, it could become law regardless of his signature. But the Constitution says the bill has to be presented to the President. And Congress is the one who sends him the bill. Mike Johnson will decide whether or not the bill is sent. And French Hill, who was embarrassed on stage, says the President chose for a reason known to him about what's going on in the Senate, chose to delay the signing while he meets with the Senate and works on some other priorities. That's fully his prerogative to do so. I'm telling you, what we've done is work for 10 months to find a bicameral, bipartisan place where you get super majorities in the House and Senate to pass a bill. I think, from an economic policy view, just follow the administration's goals. Here's what Mike Johnson had to say following this debacle for House Republicans.

Mike Johnson
A dangerous thing. This is not a joke. We are in a fight right now to save the republic. And every American needs to take this seriously. You need to wake up. This upcoming midterm election is not the midterm elections of years ago. This is going to decide the direction of the country. Are we going to maintain our status as a constitutional Republic on our 250th anniversary? Are we going to make a new choice and go down some road towards a communist utopia? That's the choice right now.

Aaron Parnas
That's the choice right now. So that's what Mike Johnson is saying. He's actually upset that they couldn't get this housing bill. Right. He's not happy about that. And behind the scenes, Republicans are saying, what the hell, Mr. President. And so then he gets trotted out there and. And he says, you know what? I'm just going to prop up what the President wants. We're going to talk about the Save America act, we're going to talk about how good it is and how bad Democrats are, and that we need to save the constitutional republic as we know it by voting in the midterm election. So he got his talking points down pretty well this afternoon. Now, it comes as a new bombshell investigation by Liz Oyer, the former Department of Justice pardon attorney, reveals that the Department of Justice quietly made changes that gives Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche almost carte blanche authority to to transfer individuals facing federal prison sentences to any inmate, any prison of their choosing. If you're a Trump supporter, you can get a halfway house. If you're not a Trump supporter, you can go to maximum security prison. Take a listen to this.

Liz Oyer
I stumbled upon a bombshell while I was doing some research on Todd Blanche. I don't think it's been reported anywhere else, so let me break it to you. I'm Liz Oyer, the former pardon attorney for the Department of Justice. Six weeks ago, the Justice Department quietly adopted a new policy that gives the Attorney General the power to send any federal prisoner to any prison in the country. If you are facing a federal prison sentence, Todd Blanche has total discretion to decide where you'll serve your time. This is a huge deal, and it's a huge departure from past practice. Under this rule, Blanche could direct the Bureau of Prisons to put any anyone who opposes the Trump administration in a maximum security prison. If you're prosecuted for protesting ice, for example, or for vandalizing Trump's reflecting pool, you could serve your sentence alongside murderers and rapists. Blanche could decide to put all of Trump's enemies in maximum security prisons. He could put all Democrats in maximum security prisons. There are no limits, no checks, and no review of his decisions. That is very, very scary. Trump would love to be able to just disappear his political opponents, and this is a step in that direction. On the flip side, this policy permits preferential treatment for Trump's allies. If you're maga, you might go to a minimum security camp, or if you've got a couple million bucks to spend, you could buy your way into a halfway house or even home detention. That's exactly what's happening with pardons. Under Donald Trump, the wealthy and the well connected are paying for special treatment. There's no reason to think the same thing won't happen with prison placements. For decades, the federal prison system has used a very rigorous policy for deciding where to place people in prison. The decision is based on public safety. It looks at things like the nature of the offense, the criminal history of the defendant, and factors like violence, sex offenses, gang membership, etc. The preference of the Attorney General has absolutely nothing to do with it. There was no announcement of this change, but here it is, hiding in plain sight. It was signed May 6 by William Marshall, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons. Marshall was appointed by Trump, and he reports directly to Blanche. This policy was not in place last year when Blanche had Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to a minimum security camp. Her transfer broke about a zillion different rules, but now Blanche could move her again, maybe even to home detention or a halfway house in the community. The Senate Judiciary Committee needs to ask Blanche for an explanation before they confirm him to be our next Attorney General.
