00:00
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
00:04
The chair now recognizes the ranking member of the full committee, Ms. Waters, for one
00:07
minute.
00:08
Ms. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
00:13
Trump and Musk are dismantling the nation's housing agencies and raising housing costs
00:19
with tariffs on some building materials while this committee pretends nothing unusual is
00:25
happening.
00:26
Many Democrats and I have sent three letters to and requested a briefing from HUD Secretary
00:32
Turner.
00:33
I've also asked Chair Hill to invite him to testify.
00:37
We have received zero responses of Republicans who have been instructed to not hold town halls
00:44
anymore, scared by what the public will think if Turner has to answer for how Trump is running
00:52
our housing market and economy.
00:55
Hopefully, my Republican colleagues will uphold their oath to protect the Constitution and
01:00
the American people and finally conduct oversight of HUD.
01:03
I wish I had more time.
01:05
I would talk about the entire dysfunction of this government under Trump, all of the recalling
01:11
that they have to do, the changes they have to make.
01:14
Even our nuclear program was at risk because they fired their employees and then had to call
01:21
them back.
01:22
I could go on and on and on.
01:23
If you want to talk about dysfunction, let's talk about what is happening with this administration.
01:28
I yield back.
