Chris MarkowskiHOST
I see this story when you've got the housing chief Bill Pulte and I've already made my thoughts on this guy apparent in the past.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
Um, Basically, you remember the movie? Well, how could you forget the movie The Breakfast Club? Remember the principal? I think his name was Richard Vernon.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
Principal Vernon.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
You remember when he was like snooping through the files, the employment files on the people working at the school? And then we got caught by Carl the janitor.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
Well.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
Bill Pulte went out of his way and decided to go through the mortgages of, uh, president Trump's political adversaries.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
Um, I guess trying to, I guess, undermine them, see if they exaggerated to some degree on a mortgage statement.
Bose GeorgeGUEST
Just curious to see how that continues to play out.
Bose GeorgeGUEST
I mean, today, Bill Pulte again posted on X about these internal scores and wanting that to be out there as well, just interesting.
Bose GeorgeGUEST
Again, curious how that impacts things, but that's definitely kind of a big topic.
Bose GeorgeGUEST
We've been writing extensively on GSE reform, GSE privatization.

Maggie HabermanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Things I mentioned in the last segment, how few people are in that West Wing now, it's really very striking.
Maggie HabermanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It is, reminds me a little bit, a lot over this summer, where, you know, he would be at Bedminster, and it was like Natalie Harp and Walt Nauta and Bill Pulte showing up at the golf course over and over again with foam boards, according to multiple people.
Maggie HabermanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Um, you know, that, that is partly reflective of the fact that I think people are really worn out.
Jennifer WelchHOST
Josh, I heard you take a breath.
Harry DunnHOST
So speaking of Newsmax said no one ever.
Harry DunnHOST
I saw a clip of Bill Pulte on there.
Harry DunnHOST
Bill Pulte, unrelated to what we're talking about, but just and I realized that guy's 38 years old.
Harry DunnHOST
If you're listening, go Google Bill Pulte and just look at his face real quick and just see, wow, 38.
Harry DunnHOST
Geez, Louise had a hard life.
Harry DunnHOST
So I digress.
Maureen JohnsonHOST
poster.
Dan SinkerHOST
Looming above his hat is the sort of... bloated red face of Bill Pulte, the current federal housing finance agency head, one time this past summer, briefly, the acting director of national intelligence, and the dude who was the main driver behind the various times the Department of Justice has gone over prominent, has gone to kind of try to get prominent Trump critics for mortgage fraud.
Dan SinkerHOST
He also, I want to point out, looks older than you and me and is 38 years old.
Maureen JohnsonHOST
Wow.
Dan SinkerHOST
He did, you know.
Dan SinkerHOST
around that same time threatened to tear the whole thing down.
Dan SinkerHOST
But the thing that's interesting is Bill Pulte also brought giant foam core posters to Mar-a-Lago once when he was pitching Trump creating a 50-year mortgage.
Dan SinkerHOST
And he brought giant posters for that.
Doomscroll AIHOST

When housing chiefs play detective, it's like a mystery novel where every page is blank but the suspense is still overpriced.

Joyce VanceGUEST
Today, we're sharing a free segment of the episode with Stay Tuned listeners.
Joyce VanceGUEST
We hope you'll enjoy it.
Joyce VanceGUEST
I mean,
Preet BhararaHOST
I'm sort of at a loss for words, both in terms of the conduct that often happens.
Preet BhararaHOST
This is true with what we were talking about with Bill Pulte a moment ago.
Preet BhararaHOST
and then the effectiveness of even, you know, malevolent conduct, right? It's like, you know, maybe we should be happy, you know, you and I have often said and others have said, you know, they're corrupt but also incompetent.
