- 0:07Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
- 0:11Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 0:15Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 0:19Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
- 0:23Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
- 0:28Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
- 0:31Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
- 0:35Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
- 0:39Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
- 0:43Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
- 0:46Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
- 0:55Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Security, interest rates hit the highest level in twenty two years.
- 1:05Speaker 3: My lord, what does this mean for us as consumers?
- 1:11Speaker 4: Unfortunately, the prices of everything is going to go up.
- 1:14Speaker 4: We'll talk about the real estate pending bubble that we
- 1:18Speaker 4: have with real estate rental prices being so high. But
- 1:22Speaker 4: for those of us who are old enough to remember,
- 1:24Speaker 4: this may not be the end. I remember a time
- 1:26Speaker 4: when if you had like a five to eighty credit score,
- 1:28Speaker 4: if you paid for a mortgage, your interest rates could
- 1:32Speaker 4: be twelve or eleven percent.
- 1:33Speaker 5: I hope that we don't go that high.
- 1:36Speaker 4: De Fed's been pretty clear in their plan for the
- 1:38Speaker 4: last year and a half about what they want to do,
- 1:41Speaker 4: But I'm seeing people are starting to get a little
- 1:44Speaker 4: bit worried. We talked about it before, the average payment
- 1:47Speaker 4: of seven ninety for a new car. The rental market
- 1:50Speaker 4: is going up, mortgages are going up. Everything is just
- 1:53Speaker 4: going to cost more. So we have to be a
- 1:55Speaker 4: lot more effective in our planning and our spending as
- 1:58Speaker 4: interest rates go up.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:01Speaker 6: So, I mean for consumers, like you just said, Carl,
- 2:03Speaker 6: loans are going to cost more, credit cards are going
- 2:06Speaker 6: to the debt's going to be the interest rates are
- 2:08Speaker 6: going to be higher, and mortgage rates are going to
- 2:10Speaker 6: be higher. That's what it means, right straight up. That's
- 2:13Speaker 6: what this means with the interest rates being raised. But
- 2:16Speaker 6: on the other side, well, there's another thing.
- 2:18Speaker 5: That it means.
- 2:19Speaker 2: It means that we're further away.
- 2:20Speaker 6: From two percent, which is what betcha Pale has been saying,
- 2:23Speaker 6: like they want to get back to two percent. But
- 2:25Speaker 6: as we keep raising and keep raising and hopefully they
- 2:28Speaker 6: think like this will be there'll be a pause in September,
- 2:31Speaker 6: if not maybe a quarter, and then it's going to
- 2:33Speaker 6: be depending on the economic data, which is shown that
- 2:36Speaker 6: it may stop. We'll get to five and a half
- 2:38Speaker 6: percent and it'll stop there, which is further. But on
- 2:43Speaker 6: the bright side, if there is one, does that mean,
- 2:46Speaker 6: and I outpose this question, does that mean where recession
- 2:50Speaker 6: is off the table? Because that's what you know that
- 2:52Speaker 6: that's the other part of this. Right at the interest
- 2:54Speaker 6: rates get higher. Economic data is showing that, you know what,
- 2:57Speaker 6: there might be a chance for a soft lending and
- 2:59Speaker 6: maybe we don't go into a.
- 3:00Speaker 7: Recession which could cause.
- 3:03Speaker 5: A catastrophic event.
- 3:04Speaker 3: I think they already know that a recession is not
- 3:07Speaker 3: going to happen this year, so most economic analysts are
- 3:16Speaker 3: in agreement that we probably will not see a recession.
- 3:20Speaker 6: So then where when we talked about this in February,
- 3:23Speaker 6: when we're saying, all right, by definition, this should be
- 3:26Speaker 6: right two negative quarter does equal our recession? Did we
- 3:30Speaker 6: have to now change what definition is for a recession
- 3:33Speaker 6: right because they didn't really feel like one, because this
- 3:35Speaker 6: might have been the bullish recession we've ever seen.
- 3:38Speaker 5: I think they changed it to fifth the narrative that
- 3:40Speaker 5: was good at the time.
- 3:41Speaker 4: So like if a triple double is nine points nine
- 3:44Speaker 4: rebounds and nine steals, Jason Kidd may have the all
- 3:47Speaker 4: time record, Like, I think they adjusted it for what
- 3:50Speaker 4: was convenient for them to prevent panic.
- 3:52Speaker 5: I don't think we should change the definition.
- 3:54Speaker 4: I think this would be like the Balco era of investing,
- 3:57Speaker 4: where it's like, hey, this one just didn't count, which
- 4:01Speaker 4: is interesting in the self and his interest rates go up,
- 4:04Speaker 4: its slows down spending for a lot of people. If
- 4:07Speaker 4: you ask anyone as we're out and about, I don't
- 4:10Speaker 4: think people feel more confident in the financial situation more
- 4:13Speaker 4: so now than they did two years ago. So I
- 4:15Speaker 4: don't know how they keep saying that the economy is
- 4:17Speaker 4: in such a great place when interest is going up,
- 4:20Speaker 4: like even like, for let's say, if you can rent
- 4:23Speaker 4: a full bedroom in New York, what's the cost to
- 4:25Speaker 4: rent that in New York now?
- 4:26Speaker 5: Eight thousand dollars.
- 4:28Speaker 3: But you know what's so crazy is like going back
- 4:30Speaker 3: to the eye test and I was talking to more,
- 4:34Speaker 3: shout out to more and we were just having a
- 4:36Speaker 3: conversation from yeah from Royal and Ma shou out Tom
- 4:41Speaker 3: money bags in chat and we were talking and I
- 4:43Speaker 3: was a comedy bas no recession for him.
- 4:46Speaker 7: It's a fact. A few different people about.
- 4:51Speaker 3: The luxury apartment buildings in New York if interesting dynamic
- 4:55Speaker 3: was happening here, these luxury apartment buildings in New York.
- 4:59Speaker 3: And I've seen it happen in Atlanta as well, where
- 5:03Speaker 3: they're starting to look like.
- 5:06Speaker 5: Trap house boy.
- 5:11Speaker 7: Not even that.
- 5:12Speaker 3: It's just like you see a bunch of people just
- 5:14Speaker 3: in the lobby hanging out outside. A lot of dancers
- 5:17Speaker 3: are moving in, and I'm like.
- 5:19Speaker 5: Yo, ballerinas, Yeahsion is it?
- 5:23Speaker 3: Because yesterday I'm like, what are you like? Yo, it's
- 5:28Speaker 3: a lot of money out here, Okay, people getting money?
- 5:31Speaker 2: This is this is this is what I'm getting too.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Because I'm like, they can't be that many because they
- 5:34Speaker 3: have different programs to get people in. But I'm like,
- 5:36Speaker 3: everybody here can't be on the program, So how is
- 5:39Speaker 3: every how is these And it's not just one building.
- 5:42Speaker 3: There's a trend that's happening. And he was like, Yo,
- 5:44Speaker 3: it's a lot of money out here.
- 5:46Speaker 6: So that's what I'm getting too, right, Like, if we
- 5:49Speaker 6: look at consumer spending, it's pretty strong. So at some
- 5:52Speaker 6: point when is it not going to be strong? And
- 5:55Speaker 6: as far as like from an enterprise side, like, at
- 5:58Speaker 6: some point even when we look at some of these
- 6:00Speaker 6: earnings and we expected growth to slow down, right, we
- 6:04Speaker 6: expected revenue to be cut back, especially in the second
- 6:07Speaker 6: half of this year, but when we looked at the
- 6:09Speaker 6: rapporting from the second quarter, we're not seeing that. So
- 6:13Speaker 6: at what point where we see the effects of the
- 6:15Speaker 6: interest rates being raised? Is it the second half of
- 6:18Speaker 6: twenty twenty four, is it twenty twenty five's first quarter? Like,
- 6:21Speaker 6: at some point when will we see the effects? Because
- 6:23Speaker 6: I mean, you raise interest rates, it's going to take
- 6:25Speaker 6: time for it to kick in. But like to Shotty's point,
- 6:28Speaker 6: people are still spending and this isn't like PPP anymore,
- 6:32Speaker 6: Like this is something different.
- 6:34Speaker 5: Yeah, let me run off two stats real quick.
- 6:36Speaker 4: Yet of people in the US with equity has uh
- 6:41Speaker 4: the equities were worth less than it was two years
- 6:44Speaker 4: ago pre pandemic it was twenty seven percent and eighty
- 6:47Speaker 4: three point five percent of people ages twenty five to
- 6:49Speaker 4: fifty four are looking for work, which is two point
- 6:52Speaker 4: two million more than COVID. The truth is like it'll
- 6:56Speaker 4: start to be shown after whoever wins the next election.
- 7:00Speaker 6: For whatever reason, this episode is brought to you by
- 7:03Speaker 6: P and C Bank. A lot of people think podcasts
- 7:06Speaker 6: about work are boring, and sure, they definitely can be,
- 7:10Speaker 6: but understanding a professional's routine shows us how they achieve
- 7:13Speaker 6: their success little by little, day after day. It's like
- 7:17Speaker 6: banking with P and C Bank. It might seem boring
- 7:20Speaker 6: to save, plan and make calculated decisions with your bank,

- 8:56Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador
- 9:00Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with
- 9:04Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 9:08Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

- 9:47Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 9:54Speaker 4: There's a lot of fear that if this is announced
- 9:56Speaker 4: before the next election, that Biden will be thrown out
- 10:00Speaker 4: of office. And I can totally understand why the Republicans
- 10:04Speaker 4: don't want Trump to get back in the Republican parties
- 10:07Speaker 4: and shambles and who they want to lead. The Santus
- 10:11Speaker 4: is having trouble. They don't want to back RFK, they
- 10:13Speaker 4: don't want Trump. The Democrats are stuck with Biden and
- 10:18Speaker 4: Hunter having fun in the white out White House office.
- 10:22Speaker 4: So it's a shit show across the political landscape in
- 10:24Speaker 4: terms of like the presidential race. But I think after
- 10:28Speaker 4: the new president is announced, then we'll start to see
- 10:31Speaker 4: what the real data is and how things are really going.
- 10:34Speaker 4: And yes, actually that stripper indicator for the ratio of
- 10:38Speaker 4: strippers that buy homes and properties is an actual index
- 10:42Speaker 4: to look at.
- 10:45Speaker 5: It really is.
- 10:46Speaker 4: So I know it's a lot of people get money,
- 10:47Speaker 4: but it's a lot of people who are out here hurting,
- 10:50Speaker 4: and I don't think that they're telling a real story
- 10:54Speaker 4: about the economy of what's going on. And I think
- 10:56Speaker 4: after the election the truth will start to come out slowly,
- 10:59Speaker 4: but surely.
- 11:00Speaker 6: I mean, well, inflation numbers have gone down, right, I
- 11:03Speaker 6: mean when what you're speaking to the unemployment rate, from
- 11:05Speaker 6: what we've seen, it's been pretty low, certain portant, So
- 11:09Speaker 6: I mean it's kind of consistent, right If they're saying
- 11:12Speaker 6: like the first quarter of twenty twenty five, then that
- 11:14Speaker 6: would be after the presidential cycle, right, because the president
- 11:16Speaker 6: will be elected in twenty four of November. They don't
- 11:19Speaker 6: go into office in twenty five, So maybe that is
- 11:21Speaker 6: consistent and we will see that, right, because who wants
- 11:23Speaker 6: to have that on their tenure, on their resume, there
- 11:27Speaker 6: was a recession during your term, right, especially if you're
- 11:29Speaker 6: trying to be re elected, that definitely is not going
- 11:31Speaker 6: to help shany.
- 11:34Speaker 5: It's the point I know you want to bring upside.
- 11:36Speaker 5: Don't want this to be left out.
- 11:38Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I feel like, you know, it's a few
- 11:40Speaker 3: different things that's happening. It's interesting because, yeah, there are
- 11:43Speaker 3: people that are struggling, but the economy.
- 11:45Speaker 7: Itself is still healthy.
- 11:47Speaker 3: The stock market is booming, and you said, unemployment is
- 11:52Speaker 3: down reasonably, inflation has come down, the housing market is
- 11:56Speaker 3: still high. You know, it kind of slumped a little bit,
- 11:59Speaker 3: but it's it hasn't fallen off a cliff, and it
- 12:02Speaker 3: still places like Miami where it's just going crazy. Miami
- 12:05Speaker 3: is at a point I don't know how it can
- 12:07Speaker 3: Like Miami is at a point now where it's unstoppable,
- 12:12Speaker 3: and the way that they're developing, it's gonna look like
- 12:14Speaker 3: it's gonna look like Manhattan in five years. Like the
- 12:17Speaker 3: development that's happening in Miami and the money that's flowing
- 12:20Speaker 3: into Miami right now is unbelievable. And it's still places
- 12:23Speaker 3: like New York where real estate is still high, and
- 12:25Speaker 3: rents are still high, and people are still living in
- 12:27Speaker 3: Drake set up a whole residency in New York. I've
- 12:29Speaker 3: never really seen anything like they. Was in New York
- 12:31Speaker 3: for two weeks doing six shows. He sold out mass regard.
- 12:34Speaker 3: I don't know why he just didn't do arenas.
- 12:37Speaker 5: Well. He did four in Barklady, three in the Garden.
- 12:39Speaker 3: But that's what I'm saying, like that's unprecedented. Like he
- 12:41Speaker 3: set up shop in New.
- 12:43Speaker 6: York to do Harry Styles the fifteen in a row.
- 12:48Speaker 7: Those tickets are not cheap. They're not They are not
- 12:50Speaker 7: twelve hundred dollars.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Two thousand, and he's selling out every single night. So
- 12:55Speaker 3: there's different things that's happening with this economy where I
- 12:59Speaker 3: don't think that it's to the point where you know,
- 13:05Speaker 3: it is extremely.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Bad that they did it.
- 13:08Speaker 6: Interested in report on that, and this is why I
- 13:11Speaker 6: had to talk about Live Nation, because they were looking
- 13:14Speaker 6: at that the economic impact that some of these these
- 13:17Speaker 6: tours are having it on these cities and the economy
- 13:20Speaker 6: in general. Right when you got to tell Swift, who's
- 13:22Speaker 6: doing her world tour and it's in the United States
- 13:24Speaker 6: and it's boost the economy of each city that she's in.
- 13:27Speaker 5: Beyonce's doing the world tour.
- 13:28Speaker 6: Now she's in America doing it, and she's boost the
- 13:31Speaker 6: economy right from a travel standpoint, from a hospitality standpoint,
- 13:34Speaker 6: and from the revenue that's being in brought into the
- 13:37Speaker 6: arenas or these stadiums that they because they I shouldn't
- 13:39Speaker 6: say arenas, they're doing stadium tours and attaches that are
- 13:42Speaker 6: so these things are helping as well. I talked about
- 13:45Speaker 6: the weekend before about what he's doing, and you just
- 13:47Speaker 6: mentioned Drake, So like all these tours happening, they're helping
- 13:51Speaker 6: from a certain standpoint.
- 13:52Speaker 5: I know it's a small piece.
- 13:53Speaker 6: I think they brought in like five billion dollars over
- 13:55Speaker 6: the course of the end of June and July, which is.
- 13:59Speaker 5: A large amount.
- 14:00Speaker 6: But to the economy which is like over was it
- 14:03Speaker 6: seventy trillion? It plays a part in it. It plays
- 14:07Speaker 6: his part in it. It definitely does. And I think
- 14:09Speaker 6: I gotta give Jill credit.
- 14:11Speaker 4: He said to that in a couple of years that
- 14:13Speaker 4: a going to concerts will be like a super luxury item,
- 14:17Speaker 4: and we're getting there now, Like drink tickets are not cheap.
- 14:20Speaker 4: Taylor Swift isn't cheap. When we tried to go to
- 14:22Speaker 4: that Harry Styles concert last year, I think the tickets
- 14:25Speaker 4: was twenty five hundred and couldn't get tickets who sold out.
- 14:29Speaker 5: Every date possible to be able to go.
- 14:31Speaker 4: So I think those that are doing well are continuing
- 14:35Speaker 4: to do well.
- 14:37Speaker 5: But those who are not doing well and.
- 14:39Speaker 4: Those that have been lost the last four or five years,
- 14:41Speaker 4: I think this gap and the disparity is becoming so
- 14:44Speaker 4: wide that it's going to.
- 14:46Speaker 5: Be hard to make up for it in a few years.
- 14:48Speaker 4: That's my concern. Yes, of course, there's always going to
- 14:50Speaker 4: be people who make money. They're going to be high earners.
- 14:54Speaker 4: It's that eighty to twenty rule, like twenty percent of
- 14:57Speaker 4: the people are going to make an.
- 14:58Speaker 5: Exordinant amount of money. Is not.
- 15:01Speaker 4: But I'm worried about that gap being so wide with
- 15:04Speaker 4: the rise and rate even here in Houston, Like there's
- 15:07Speaker 4: a lot of people who moved to Houston because it
- 15:09Speaker 4: was considered affordable, and now a lot of them are
- 15:11Speaker 4: also being priced out. So I think the gap is
- 15:14Speaker 4: a story that isn't being told. And every company seems
- 15:17Speaker 4: to be adjusting to going the luxury route or premium
- 15:20Speaker 4: pricing which I've always been pro. But the lower end
- 15:23Speaker 4: companies I was reading an article earlier. Amazon and Walmart
- 15:27Speaker 4: are now expounding, excuse me, expanding to India as well,
- 15:30Speaker 4: following the footsteps of Apple. Zanna say said, congressing your win.
- 15:36Speaker 4: So I think India's economy is raising up and it's
- 15:41Speaker 4: filling in that middle class gap that we lost, and
- 15:43Speaker 4: we're really a luxury good, luxury service kind of market now,
- 15:47Speaker 4: and it's going to be bad for a lot of people.
- 15:50Speaker 7: All right, we'll mind to the situation.
- 15:53Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
- 15:57Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member Romel Salvador accused
- 16:01Speaker 1: of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with filming
- 16:05Speaker 1: and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just some
- 16:09Speaker 1: of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President Donald J.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States Secretary of
- 16:17Speaker 1: Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are
- 16:22Speaker 1: at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over one hundred
- 16:25Speaker 1: thousand illegal aliens.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Have been arrested.
- 16:28Speaker 1: If you are here illegally, your next you will be fine.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Nearly one thousand dollars a day. Imprisoned and deported, you
- 16:36Speaker 1: will never return. But if you register using our CBP
- 16:39Speaker 1: home app and leave now, you could be allowed to
- 16:42Speaker 1: return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump
- 16:47Speaker 1: America's laws, border and families will be protected.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security,
