  Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Donald J.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Trump's leadership.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I'm Christy nom the United States Secretary of Homeland Security.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are at the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: lowest levels ever recorded, and over one hundred thousand illegal
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: aliens have been arrested. If you are here illegally, your
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: next you will be fined nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and deported.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: You will never return.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: But if you register using our CBP home app and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Do what's right. Leave now.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Under President Trump, America's laws, border and families will be protected.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Since the start of twenty twenty three, the city of
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Atlanta has reported seventy two thousand, six hundred evictions in
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: seven months. This is already ten thousand evictions, more than
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty two, according to the data tracked and published
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: by the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank, there were eleven thousand,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty nine new evictions reported in June.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: From January to June, only about fifteen point five percent
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: of the evictions have proceeded. So okay, So a lot
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: of people are getting evicted in Atlanta, which I would
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: assume is an indication for the broader country worldwide, nationwide.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: So what is your thoughts about this disturbing trend?
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: The first thing I want to point out, some of
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: these are rolling over from the.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: Period where people didn't have to pay.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: But if I'm going to go into my conspiracy bag,
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: if inflation is getting higher, the job market is not
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: coming back. I truly believe that these evictions are happening
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: because they want their city back, and by day we
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: know who they is. I act like I'm calling, but
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: I think maybe Atlanta for too long has been too black.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: And Atlanta in George is normally a very friendly city
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: when it comes to these evictions. But some of going
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: back to the pricing, some of the pricing in Midtown
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: and Buckhead is.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: Unaffordable for most people.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: I'm not counting the people that the ballers and have
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: a bunch of money flowing in cool But for the
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: average person, if they want a three bedroom for a bedroom,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: the prices over the last year have increased dramatically. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: if you want to change the demographics of a city,
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: one of the fastest ways you can change them is
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: by changing the price of the rental market.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: I think it's a mistake because if wages.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: And income is not increasing as fast as the rental
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: market pricing, these are the kind of things that will
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: lead to a crash or collapse.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: We're seeing it with Airbnb.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Airbnb at one point was looked at as an affordable
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: option of hotels, and then they got super sexy and
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: they tried to make every Airbnb or rolls Royce and
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: the prices were two damn high. And guess what, most
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Airbnb properties are not being rented out like how they
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: were two years prior or three years prior. So if
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: this continues for a long period of time, it can
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: spell a lot of trouble. But the first thing I
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: thought when I saw this, these amount amount of evictions.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: They want to quietly find a way to displace some
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: people out of the city of Atlanta and move them
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: out to the suburbs.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: That was great minds think alike.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: Because the first thing I thought was, especially being here
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: in New York, the amount of time it takes to
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: evict somebody versus the time it takes to evict somebody
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: in Atlanta or Atlanta specifically, Right, So that was the
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: first thing I thought. But the second thing is kind
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: of like what you alluded to, right, Like the kind
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: of like when we first were learning about Aaronbbs and
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: how it could be super profitable a couple of the
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: cities we were thinking about with Miami and Atlanta, it
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: was kind of a crackdown on that, and so like,
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: if you're not getting that money from Airbnb, now the
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: person who actually has the least has to now pay that,
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: which could be, you know, something that they can't afford anymore.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: The other part of it was the unemployment rate. Now,
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: when we talk about unemployment, this kind of leads into
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: like what you were saying, It was like what type
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: of jobs are being offered? Absolutely, what type of jobs
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: do are we being offered? What type of jobs do
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: we have? Who's being laid off and where are those
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: layoffs happening? So if you look at the demographics of Atlanta, right,
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: we know specific counties that are predominantly look like us
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: and people from our community, and so yes, hospitalities lost
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: and construction is are we getting these jobs? And so
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: that talks about the income that is coming in to
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: the households of the.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Families in Atlanta.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: So there's a couple of factors there, but the number
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: is extremely staggering, knowing that we're only in July and
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: we still got you know, five months ago in this year.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Where is this number headed?
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I would say I said it was.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I said on Instagram, it's a few different things. One
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: of the things I said was that Georgia was a
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: landlord friendly state, and a variety of different people disagreed
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: with me on that and said I didn't know what
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I was talking about, and different things of nature. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: then one gentleman in particular, his name is Saint Underscore Jamaine,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: and he said, uh, he'd just be talking sometimes and.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: Does that get I like how you read it. I
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: would imagine that's how you said it. Shot.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: I don't take anything personal, especially for somebody that I
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: don't know. I don't think that it was. It wasn't nice.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Did you take the personal when he said he made
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: us I did I think that.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Was a I I think that was but saying yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: you know, saying I don't, I didn't think that that
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: was too nice of a thing to say. But you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: obviously there's long list of different things. But you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: just the quick overview of Atlanta is you can be
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: victed for not paying rent or for failing to move
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: out at an expiration or termination of elise. If the
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: landlord tries to invict you for not paying rent, you
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: have seven days to pay the rent ode or you
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: can legally be evicted. Whereas New York, a landlord must
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: go to court, must win the case, then must pay
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: a fee to have the law enforcement officer properly a
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: vict you. It's a whole process. You can literally stay
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: in for two years before.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: You and somebody's property In New York, for sure.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: It's a whole thing. So when I'm saying that it's
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: a landlord friendly state, is it the most landlord friendly
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: state in America? I'm not sure, But when you're comparing
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: it to states like New York, it's tremendously in favor
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: of the landlord sometimes we have we don't have a
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: perception of things because we only look at it from
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: our perspective. So it's like you might just live in Georgia.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: That's not a landlord friendly state. I've been trying to
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: get this guy out for a month. Well, talk to
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: the landlord in New York who really has no rights
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: at all and has to deal with a squatter that's
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: living there, and you got to go to court, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: you gotta get law enforcement, and literally.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: You're still with that last year.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: Not only are they squat and they damaging the property.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: Now you got to have rehab come in after they leave.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: It's a whole process.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: It's extremely hard to kick somebody out. So I say
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: that to say it's all perspective. If you don't think
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: it's a landlord friendly state, that's your that's your right.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: But compared to a lot of other states like New York,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: it's a landlord friendly state. So I think that that's
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: definitely in favor of people getting evicted because you don't
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: have to put up with if they're not paying that
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: you can just kick them out. I think it also
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: has to do with the haves and have nots because
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: rent prices are going up, and as rent goes up,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: you know a certain point in time you can't afford
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: to pay your rent. So there are people still getting money,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: there are people that still stimulating the economy, but everybody
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: is not at that same pace. And the rent prices
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: are our only like skyrocketing in these in these major cities.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I told you about the guy that was paying ten
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars a month for one beverment in New York.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: So we're gonna start seeing this is a broader conversation
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: where there's there's going to be a housing crisis if
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: if this isn't under control, because everybody wants to live
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: in cities or close to cities. Nobody wants to live
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: in nowhere and farm fields and different things that nature.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: So everybody you have the vast majority of people trying
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: to live in a couple of different places, right you
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: have like big areas where you have New York, you
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: have la you have Miami, you have Atlanta, you have
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: like you know, ten different major and everybody's trying to
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: live in these three hundred million people. Everybody's trying to
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: live in these different areas. So there's a demand because
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: even if you can't afford to live here, somebody else can.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: So it doesn't even affect the landlord because it's like,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: you know, for every five people that can't afford to
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: live here, then there's ten people that can't afford to
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: live here. So I'm just going to keep I'm going
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: to keep rising. Incomes have been pretty stable, incomes aren't
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: rising at the same pace of inflation, so that's a problem.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: And then you have people that's going to start losing
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: their jobs, losing jobs to AI, losing jobs to just
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: there's just going to be a new industries losing jobs
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: for a variety of different reasons. So what you're creating
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: is a housing crisis, and this is a broader conversation,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: but this is an early stage of that. This is
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: the early stage when you start to see this many evictions.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: This is something that's alarming, and you start seeing people
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: living in rooms, renting rooms and living together in community spaces.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: This is something that has to be addressed. And if
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: it doesn't have a fix to it in the next
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: ten to twenty years, you're going to see it's gonna
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: be bad. The homeless population. Now, if you look if
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: you go to cities like La If you go to
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: cities like San Francisco, the homeless population is out of control.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: That'sspable.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: You wouldn't even know that you was in America. And
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: it's like, take a city like Miami. How much more
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: can real estate go up in a short period of
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: time before it just becomes completely unsustainable? Right, everybody's not
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: a millionaire. Everybody's not a millionaire. Some where is everybody
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: gonna live? You can only push people out to the OUSECT.
• 11:30

  Speaker 5: And meanwhile they're trying to convince us that everything is
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: found in the economy and the stock markets, okay, and
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: it's only like eleven stocks internationally that are doing well.
• 16:17

  Speaker 5: And we would just bet our lives on, like our
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: life savings on. No, that's this weakness and economy overall.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: And if there is not affordable housing solutions at some point,
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: the people are gonna revolt.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they are gonna revolt. Yeah, be careful to Yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: And the crazy part, it's only gonna take maybe two months.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Like the same thing with the music striking. If people
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: quit paying rent in one part of New York for
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: three months old baby, some changes will happen immediately.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: It doesn't take that much.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, rent strike, they tried that before. Rent strike.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it needs to happen because it's feeling like oh
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: seven all over again.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: So your for your your pro rent strike.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: Well, I currently don't have any tenants, so.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: I'm not to say the landlord is about to be
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: at your neck. I'm not pro rent strike because I
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: feel like landlords that you you you shouldn't. You don't
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: deserve for somebody to just commit to paying you something
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: and then not paying you. Yeah, that that's something that
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: I don't agree with.
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: I also think it should be affordable though, but it's
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: all this is also important, right, it's from the other
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: aspect of it. And shout out to Brandon Rule, alumni
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: of euy L having developments that are built specifically to
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: have affordable housing. Right, so I know he just got
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: a grant for fifty million. To see that you got
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: a fifty million dollar grant. He will be there to build.
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: I believe it's in Alabama, Birmingham, Alabama. He's building a
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: hundred and twenty two units. But those type of very
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: intentional and strategic developments help combat that. So it's like,
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: all right, well, this is what it's going to be
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: based on the economy that we're building in.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: All right, So when we have developers that look like us.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: And that's why he's a gem, I mean, because the
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: way he's able to break things down and explain it
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: to our community, it's incredible.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: But we need more branding rules.
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: That's why it's important to be in the rooms because
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: I'm sure that somebody who never knew that they can
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: actually obtain that type of professionalism and career.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: It's important to have him because.
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: You can make these systemic changes right when you we're
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: looking for affordable housing and having our people's intentions at
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: the front of the discussion. We can be in the
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: room and making sure that the development happens in a
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: way that benefits everybody.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: So it's important to have that. So shout out to him.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to mention that affordable housing is important,
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: But that's kind of like a band aid because it's like,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: it's not it's not a solution. It's not a long
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: term solution. What's the long term solution is getting people
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: to make more money absolutely reward it. So it's like
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: giving people affordable housing and putting them in situations where
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: they can live. It's beneficial because people do need somewhere
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: to live, but there's still ultimately they still not making
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: enough to even live there. So you're just you're still struggling.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: You might have a nice apartment, but that doesn't solve
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: your problem.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: What happens in the time that you're there, Right, So
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: that could be the thing, Right, Like, if I don't
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: have to worry about with the roof of my head
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: right now, I have a mindset where I have a
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: freedom to actually think, I have freedom to now create.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: I have almost a sense of peace of mind knowing
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: that I can at least afford to live that basically
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: need is taken care of. Cannot be innovative inside that
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: time while I'm here here, it doesn't happen, Can it happen?
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Anything can happen, But I'm just I'm just speaking from
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: this is just the same I think I've seen experience. Oh,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: it's just that it's just a fact. People become comfortable.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: So you have somewhere to live, that's beneficial and that's needed,
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: and you usually it's just okay, I'm now I have
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: this taken care of, and I'm gonna work enough and
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: it's going to be enough to pay these bills. And
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: it's a recipe to just stay as a renter for
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: your whole life. Let me just finish. If you stay
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: as a renter your whole life, you'll never own anything,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: and you'll never move up the economic scale. This isn't
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: just my own personal biased opinion. This is with things
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: that I've seen. I've witnessed this firsthand. Very rarely does
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: people do they move up the economic scale. They don't
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: move up the economic scale. They just stay there. And
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: who is that ultimately benefiting business? Because they get in
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: government subsidies. It's not like they're doing this out of
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: their own good of their heart. They getting government subsidies
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: to have ten percent of these luxury apartment buildings to
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: have affordable units and to these and different things in
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: that nature. So there is a win for them and
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: the government is just printing money. They don't care. So
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: the only people that they think that they're benefiting is
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: the people that are in this. But it's really it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: really a trap to keep people on this same type
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: of government assistance treadmill that it never helps. Never, it
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: doesn't help anybody. When you say.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: You've seen in firsthand, you're speaking of a specific time period.
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: I'm speaking of this actual time period where people have
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: access to more resources, access to more information, and are
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: actually educating themselves that we are actually seeing firsthand right
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: like we are seeing that. It's the reason why we
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: do this, Sevy Monday. It's the reason why we put
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: out content every day so people are more aware and
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: have more information than they've ever had. That might be
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: true for a time period, but there has to be
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: optimism and saying, like yo, the work that we're actually doing.
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: And that's why I said, like a guy like Brandon
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: is so important to see it happening.
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: I believe it can change.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Now. I'm all for affordable. First, there was always information.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: There's different stages of information this listen, let me finish.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: It's all relative, right. So there was like before there
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: was no such thing as a library. Then there was
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: a library. Then there was no such thing as a computer.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Then you had access to the internet, then there was
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: no such thing. So there's always been access to information.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: There's never been as much information that's readily available to you.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: But you could always change your life based off of
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: information at any point in time. So why hasn't it
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: happened previously?
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: But that's what I just said, So I.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Don't I'm not optimistic that it's going to change now.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: First second, I think that people that listen to us
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: definitely want to improve their situation, for sure, But ultimately,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: I'm not just talking about one hundred thousand people that
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: watch market Mondays every single week. I'm talking about fifty
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: million people, one hundred million people that are impacted that
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: never even heard of early leisure before. So this is
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: something that's way bigger than than even the people that
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: we're reaching, right, this is a systematic problem that has
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: to be figured out for the greater good of America,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: but also the whole entire world because it's a global
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: issue as well. So, yes, we're going to reach a
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: lot of people, but it's still a drop in a
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: bucket in comparison, if we change a million people's lives,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: that's still a drop in the bucket compared to fifty
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: seventy ninety million people that can't afford to live somewhere.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: So our Apple and Walmart is taking their business and
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: going to India, and while Elon Musk is about to
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: become a trillionaire. So it's like we've knowt this is
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: the great disparity in wealth that's happening. This is my point.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: It's a disparity in wealth that's unlike anything that we've
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: ever seen in human history, where the rich are getting
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: extremely wealthy at levels that people couldn't even imagine, and
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: the people at the bottom are staying at the bottom.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: So some affordable housing, that's good, but we have to
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: figure out a way to get the people at the
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: bottom to catch up, whether that's through different skill set,
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: whether that's through a variety of different things. But just
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: providing things for them, although it's beneficial and it's needed,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: is not the ultimate solution to get them in an
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: upward mobility.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: Exact, it's not the end a bill, but it does
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: put off the you know what, the basic need right shelter,
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: And that's what I'm saying, like if we have that,
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: and of course there's plenty of issues, and yes, this
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: is not the end all bill, and it's not the
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: only solution or even a part of a solution to
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: you know, bring in that wealth gap, but it does
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: meet the first basic need shelter, food shelter. Right after
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: we have those basic needs mount what can we do?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Donald J.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and over one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: If you are here illegally, your next you will be
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: fine nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Deported, you will never return.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: But if you register using our CBP home app and
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Do what's right, leave now.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Under President Trump, America's laws, border and families will be protected.
• 25:48
