and you have to try to find out and like i said almost like over stimulation. yes. and you say it, and everybody said i said that joke yesterday, marge, attacking a woman named marge all these years but also, like i say, in the show, the problem began before trump and it is going to be after trump. trump is just a symptom of what goes on in this country. which is that people have different opinions. and they don t get along. you know what i mean? why should they? when you talk about material, i think of what happened this week, and there were a couple of moments that i thought wow, they were striking, let s start with the hud secretary, ben carson, appeared before congress, and the conversation turned to oreos. let s watch. right. but i d also like you to get back to me if you don t mind to describe the despair ty of reo rates. oreo? reo.
and now that congresswoman who you just heard there is calling for his resignation. that s not all. there were these gaffes that got a lot of attention this week. watch. i d also like you to get back to me, if you don t mind, to explain the disparity in reo rates. do you know what an reo is? an oreo? r no, not an oreo. an reo. reo. real estate what s the o stand for? organization. owned. real estate owned. are you familiar with omwi and what it is? with who? amway? omwi. come on, mr. secretary. i asked you this when you were here last year. and you asked me to be nice to you. office of minority women and inclusi inclusion. do you have an omwi director? do you work with the omwi director? i cannot give you the name. michael, secretary carson s
will i ing. these wins in court help, i think, help us get back on our feet doing the oversight work that we need to do, but the fact that we re having to litigate about all of this is a total loss to the american people, a waste of taxpayer dollars and it s flat out wrong. you ve made congressional hearings on c-span must see tv by asking actual questions about legislation and regulation. the latest moment happened with hud secretary ben carson. let me replay part of that so our audience in case they missed it can see it. watch this. i d also like you to get back to me, if you don t mind, to explain the disparity in reo rates. do you know what an reo is. an oreo. no not an oreo. an reo. reo. real estate what s the o stand for? the organization. owned. real estate owned, that s what happens when a property goes to foreclosure, we call it an reo.
little confidence in that. that s the unfortunate circumstances we find ourselves in today. let s turn to another moment in your committee, in front of your committee. during an exchange with the housing and urban development secretary ben carson, he was talking to you, he appeared not to understand a basic housing term called real estate owned, which unfortunately is going to be all too familiar to a number of americans who lost their house in foreclosure. let s listen to the exchange. i d also like you to get back to me if you don t mind to explain the disparity in reo rates. do you know what an reo is? oreo? no, not an oreo. reo. real estate? what s the o stand for? the organization. owned, real estate owned. somebody owned somebody there. what do you make of that? carson said he was having trouble hearing you. what s your take away after having had that exchange yesterday? i m sorry, but respectfully
trifecta of truth abuse. i m going to surround myself only with the best and most serious people. we want top-of-the-line professionals. literally, i don t think you could point to one person in any major position that would get any kind of consensus that they were a great choice, let alone the best. the latest and perhaps saddest example of this fact, secretary of housing and urban development today. also would like you to get back to me if you don t mind to explain the disparity in reo rates. do you know what an reo is? an oreo? no, not an oreo. an reo. r-e-o. real estate? what s the o stand for. organization. owned. real estate owned. that s what happens when a property goes to foreclosure, we call it an r ereo.
