Can someone explain the halting to me?

What I want clarifying is the proof of why you can never create a machine to work out such a problem.

I dont understand why it would result in the program to lie. I get the concept “The barber shaves everyone who doesn;t shave themselves” but I dont understand why they are trying to explain here is the same thing.
