  Speaker 3: The third time I've been a creation.

  Speaker 1: It's Thursday, July twenty third, from the Black Effect Podcast Network.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I'm Mimi Brown. This is front page, and here are
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the day's biggest stories. Stay with me. President Trump's approval
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: rating is slipping again. A new Economist you gov poll
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: finds thirty six percent of Americans approof of the job
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: he's doing. That gives the president a net approval rating
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of negative twenty four, just two points above the lowest
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: rating he's recorded across both of his terms in office.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: For comparison, that puts Trump below former Joe Biden's lowest
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: approval point, which reached negative twenty three. The poll surveyed
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: more than sixteen hundred adults between July seventeenth and July twentieth.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: The survey also found more Americans are questioning the president's age.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Fifty two percent now say Trump is too old to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: serve as president, up twelve points since January. On the issues,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: forty seven percent say the economy is in poor shape,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the highest level recorded in this poll since twenty twenty three.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: With today's economy, just thinking of the cost of living
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: with your mortgage or rent, the health insurance cost.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Really hard to decipher between you know, the emotional aspect
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of wanting kids and the financial aspect and the reality
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of the resources that we have today.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Let's do one word answers rapid fire here. How would
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: you describe today's economy?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Rough?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Volatile, hostile, shaky, declining, embarrassing. And On immigration, an issue
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that's long been one of Trump's political strengths, fifty four
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: percent disapprove of the way he's handling it. Nearly half
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of those surveyed also say they support abolishing ICE. The
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Pole also found Democrats leading Republicans by five points on
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a generic congressional ballot, a trend that has shown up
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: in several other recent national surveys. And the Trump administration's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: immigration crackdown is continuing to ramp up. New ICE data
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: shows more people were booked into immigration detention in June
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: than any other month since President Trump returned to office,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and so far in July is on pace to be
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: even busier. The number of people being held into tention
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: has climbed to more than sixty five thousand, another new high.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The Department of Homeland Security says there are no arrest quotas,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: despite reports that agents have been pushed to increase enforcement borders.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: R Tom Holman says the administration has no plans to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: slow down.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: You can tack the men and women I saw you want.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It comes on the one simple fact these people fail
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to comply with law. Even some of the major chiefs
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: in this country who don't necessarily necessarily agree with this
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: administration says, you always comply.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: With law for it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: But the hateful rhetoric that ICE isn't a real law
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: enforce agency. I see these signs that resist ICE. You know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: let's abolish them. They're fascist. When you keep that hateful
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: rhetica for a year and a half there, it's gonna
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: be that that that percentage of that part that that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: population that's going to be emboldened to take action because
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: they're not real law for us, they see I should be.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: The new data also shows a growing number of people
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: being detained that do not have criminal convictions. That comes
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: after two high profile ICE operations this month in Texas
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and in Maine, where the people shot by agents were
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: not the original targets of those operations.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: All they had to do is simply comply with law enforce.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: If you don't like what law enforcement did, you then
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: go to the course shoot called the Ahler do whatever
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you want to do. We should always comply in lawenforce.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: If they did, they'd be alive today. Now I'm not
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: going to come out an investigation it shelf, but wait
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: for the playout. This is about complying with law enforcement
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and a lot of the negative hate for and I
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: said this a year ago. If a haperul reriddic doesn't stop,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: there will be bloodshed.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Supporters say the tougher enforcement is making communities safer critics
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: argue it's sweeping up more people with little or no
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: criminal history. The Miami Heat made a very interesting mistake
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: this week. The team's YouTube channel posted a link Tuesday
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to a scheduled live stream. The title quote Lebron James
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: introductory press conference. The date on the link July twenty seventh.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: The post was quickly deleted. A spokesperson for the Heat
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: told ESPN that the team's social media department was preparing
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: for the possibility of Lebron James signing and mistakenly published
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the link. Lebron James is an unrestricted free agent for
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the first time since twenty eighteen. According to ESPN, the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers, the Philadelphia seventy six ers, and the Miami
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Heat are the top three teams under consideration. The Golden
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: State Warriors are also being mentioned, and there is no
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: deadline for Lebron to make a decision. And at this
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: point this is already the longest he's ever been a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: free agent.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Is the third time I've been a free agent, honestly,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: and ten when I made a decision to go to Miami,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I had my reasons when I went back to Cleveland,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: and fourteen I have my reason, so actually just be
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the fourth and then when I went to LA eight
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: years ago, I had my resis, so you know, for me, now,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: you know, I have an almost twenty two year old
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: son who is not my former teammate, which is hilarious.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has said the league is holding
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: off on finalizing next season schedule until Lebron makes his decision.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Last season, Lebron averaged twenty point nine points, seven point
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: two assists, and six point one rebounds per game. The
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: date on that accidental YouTube post again was July twenty seven.
