WH Press Secretary Says Gen Z 'LAZY,' 'SILVER SPOON'

What was said

"There's so much talk about oh we're going to drive housing prices down I don't want to drive housing prices that I want to drive housing prices up."

President Trump stated he wants to drive housing prices up rather than down, contradicting campaign promises about affordability. This comes as the median home price nationally reaches $450,000, with San Francisco hitting $1.7 million median. The hosts note this would further benefit wealthy homeowners while making housing even less attainable for younger Americans already locked out of the market.
