DEM'S DEMAND more free rent & $1,200 monthly ‘guaranteed income! This would include illegals! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

Speaker 1: Anger and chaos mounting at Joe Biden because Congress allowed
0:07
Speaker 1: the eviction ban to expire. The eviction moratorium expires, and
0:14
Speaker 1: millions pays the possibility of losing a home. Welcome to
0:19
Speaker 1: being an adult. Call me old school. Do I feel
0:24
Speaker 1: sorry for these people? No, I want to make that clear.
0:27
Speaker 1: I do not feel sorry for them. If you were
0:30
Speaker 1: angry or frustrated that Congress was willing to pay your
0:32
Speaker 1: bills for months on end, some of you for more
0:36
Speaker 1: than a year, and you want me to think that
0:38
Speaker 1: you're a victim, I don't. I think you're an idiot.
0:42
Speaker 1: If you're a grown adult and you didn't plan to
0:44
Speaker 1: start paying your bills by now, you're an idiot. If
0:50
Speaker 1: you think that this country's job is to pay for
0:55
Speaker 1: your bills, you're an idiot. Now this is spiring, and people,
1:00
Speaker 1: of course are losing their minds over this. AOC was
1:05
Speaker 1: on Stay the Union with Jake Tapper, who actually implied
1:10
Speaker 1: that somehow people are owed this, that they should be
1:13
Speaker 1: obviously very upset that they're losing this benefit, all in
1:17
Speaker 1: the name of COVID. I remember, there's such a thing
1:19
Speaker 1: in this country now as COVID. Rich, did you know that, yeah,
1:22
Speaker 1: covid rich. You want to know what covid rich means.
1:26
Speaker 1: It means you got more money than you did pre
1:28
Speaker 1: covid because of all the government benefits. That is covid rich.
1:36
Speaker 1: That is covid rich. When somebody else is paying your
1:41
Speaker 1: mortgage or i say, your rent, that is covid rich.
1:45
Speaker 1: When you get paid more to not work than to work,
1:47
Speaker 1: that's covid rich. When you get benefits for your family
1:50
Speaker 1: that never even existed before, and you still don't go
1:53
Speaker 1: get a job on purpose, that is covid rich at
1:59
Speaker 1: all of it up in your covid rich. Well, now
2:03
Speaker 1: the chickens are coming home to roost because we're running
2:06
Speaker 1: out of our money. Now, remember when these bills are
2:08
Speaker 1: being paid, it's being paid with our money. We're going
2:11
Speaker 1: into debt, our money. We're talking about serious debt, and
2:16
Speaker 1: it's all our money. AOC though doesn't see it that way.
2:22
Speaker 1: She thinks we should keep paying people's mortgages, keep paying
2:27
Speaker 1: their rents indefinitely. I guess take a listen that this
2:31
Speaker 1: eviction deadline was coming for weeks. Democrats control the House,
2:35
Speaker 1: you guys control the Senate, you guys control the White House.
2:37
Speaker 1: Nothing aggressive was done by leadership and sold just a
2:41
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. Who's to blame her? Well, you know,
2:44
Speaker 1: I think there's a couple of issues here. First of all,
2:47
Speaker 1: you are absolutely correct and that the House and House
2:50
Speaker 1: leadership had the opportunity to vote to extend the moratorium.
2:53
Speaker 1: And there were many and there was frankly a handful
2:56
Speaker 1: of conservative Democrats in the House that threatened to get
2:59
Speaker 1: on planes rather than hold this vote. And we have
3:01
Speaker 1: to really just call a spade a spade. We cannot
3:05
Speaker 1: in good faith blame the Republican Party when House Democrats
3:08
Speaker 1: have a majority. Now there is something to do. By
3:11
Speaker 1: the way, I have to agree with AOC on that point.
3:14
Speaker 1: We cannot blame the Republican Party. When the Democrats had
3:19
Speaker 1: control of the House and the Senate, they could have
3:21
Speaker 1: done whatever the hell they wanted to. Let me. Let
3:24
Speaker 1: me just maybe the only time in my life I
3:26
Speaker 1: might actually quote AOC in a positive lay her exact
3:30
Speaker 1: words as she said about this, and she's absolutely right.
3:36
Speaker 1: We cannot in good faith playing the Republican Party when
3:39
Speaker 1: House Democrats have the majority. Wow, it's about time someone
3:45
Speaker 1: told the truth. Now, the Democrats didn't want to extend
3:49
Speaker 1: this again, and the reason why was pretty clear, right,
3:53
Speaker 1: The reason why was pretty obvious. They didn't want to
3:56
Speaker 1: extend it because they knew that the music had to end.
4:00
Speaker 1: It had to stop at some point, right, at some point,
4:04
Speaker 1: you gotta end this insanity of treating adults like infant children,
4:10
Speaker 1: giving them COVID rich money and benefits that make them
4:14
Speaker 1: quote COVID rich. But if you're AOC, this is what
4:19
Speaker 1: socialism is. Right. The government should pay for everything for
4:23
Speaker 1: all of it. To be said, for the fact that
4:24
Speaker 1: this court order came down on the White House a
4:26
Speaker 1: month ago, and the White House waited until the day
4:30
Speaker 1: before the House adjourned to release a statement asking on
4:33
Speaker 1: Congress to extend the moratorium. This came after weeks. I
4:36
Speaker 1: sit on the Financial Services Committee, which has jurisdiction over housing.
4:39
Speaker 1: We had, you know, the Housing secretary. They're asking about
4:43
Speaker 1: the administration stance. We asked the Biden administration about their stance,
4:47
Speaker 1: and they were not being really forthright about that advocacy
4:50
Speaker 1: in that request until the day before the House adjourned,
4:53
Speaker 1: And so the House was put into a I believe
4:56
Speaker 1: a needlessly difficult situation. And it's not just me saying
5:00
Speaker 1: that Financial Services CHA Chairwoman Maxine Waters has made that
5:05
Speaker 1: very clear as well. And so there's a couple of
5:07
Speaker 1: contributing factors here. We have governors who are also not
5:10
Speaker 1: getting this emergency rental assistance out in time, which is
5:14
Speaker 1: forcing this extension. What we would let me just ask
5:18
Speaker 1: a question here, Do you know what I said, this
5:20
Speaker 1: emergency renters assistance out in time. We've been dealing with
5:24
Speaker 1: COVID for eighteen months. Eighteen months, y'all, eighteen months. Is
5:34
Speaker 1: it an emergency anymore? Or is this the new reality?
5:39
Speaker 1: People have had a child, gotten pregnant again and had
5:41
Speaker 1: another child in the time we're talking about here. To
5:45
Speaker 1: put it in perspective, I mean, COVID is no longer
5:51
Speaker 1: an emergency crisis. COVID is now just a reality. It's
5:55
Speaker 1: a reality in the world. The idea that you're still
6:00
Speaker 1: looking at this as an emergency is insane. It's not
6:05
Speaker 1: an emergency. It was at the beginning. It was a
6:09
Speaker 1: pandemic at the beginning. Now this is just the normal world,
6:13
Speaker 1: the real world that we live in. This isn't this
6:16
Speaker 1: is an emergency funds anymore. This is laziness funds. This
6:21
Speaker 1: is we believe that you are so lazy, but you'll
6:24
Speaker 1: vote for us that we'll give you more money, and
6:27
Speaker 1: we'll put the government into more debt. We'll waste more
6:32
Speaker 1: of your tax dollars pandering, so you'll vote for us.
6:37
Speaker 1: That's all this is. It's not an emergency anymore like
6:40
Speaker 1: an extension of the moratorium. The fact of the matter
6:42
Speaker 1: is is that the problem is here the House. Should
6:44
Speaker 1: we convene and call this vote and extend the moratorium.
6:47
Speaker 1: There's about eleven million people that are behind on their
6:51
Speaker 1: rent at risk of eviction. That's one out of every
6:54
Speaker 1: six renters in the United States. Congress is out of time.
6:57
Speaker 1: Let's let's deal with that. One out of six renters
7:00
Speaker 1: is they're saying, who could be evicted? I'm sorry, good.
7:03
Speaker 1: This is a great correction. Welcome to being an adult.
7:10
Speaker 1: When you're an adult, if you can't figure out how
7:12
Speaker 1: to pay your bills in eighteen months, then you don't
7:15
Speaker 1: deserve to be propped up any longer. Welcome to adult hood.
7:21
Speaker 1: This is adulthood. You got to learn how to pay
7:26
Speaker 1: your own bills. There's a lot of things you can
7:28
Speaker 1: figure out in eighteen months, folks, I mean a lot
7:32
Speaker 1: of things that you can figure out in eighteen months,
7:35
Speaker 1: and this is one of them. In eighteen months, you
7:39
Speaker 1: should have figured out a way so that you wouldn't
7:42
Speaker 1: be caught with your pants down on an a moratorium
7:46
Speaker 1: eviction and then act like you're a victim when clearly
7:49
Speaker 1: you are not a victim. You are I'll say it again,
7:52
Speaker 1: you're not a victim. Let me say it again. You
7:55
Speaker 1: are not a victim. Let me say it again. You're
8:00
Speaker 1: not a victim. If in after eighteen months, eighteen months,
8:08
Speaker 1: after eighteen months, they finally come to you and say, okay,
8:13
Speaker 1: now you've got to pay your bills, you are not
8:17
Speaker 1: a victim. But AOC says, oh, yes, yes, yes, yes,
8:23
Speaker 1: we do need more money, and we need to pay
8:26
Speaker 1: people's bills, and we need to pay their bills right now.
8:28
Speaker 1: They're owed this, this is America. You don't let people
8:31
Speaker 1: got in the streets and be homeless. Well, if you're
8:33
Speaker 1: an adult and you don't pay your bills, you deserve
8:35
Speaker 1: to be homeless because you're an adult. We're not talking
8:39
Speaker 1: about a child here, We're talking about an adult. We're
8:42
Speaker 1: talking about adults. He or not children. But the federal
8:46
Speaker 1: government continues to treat adults like children, telling them they
8:50
Speaker 1: don't have to be responsible for their actions, telling them
8:53
Speaker 1: they don't have to pay their bills. Just think about
8:56
Speaker 1: this headline. Anger mounts as Biden in Congress allow eviction band.
9:00
Speaker 1: You got to live for eighteen months without paying your
9:04
Speaker 1: bills and made money doing it, and now you're angry
9:08
Speaker 1: about it. You want to talk about entitlement. Take a
9:12
Speaker 1: listen to Good Morning America talking about this as well,
9:15
Speaker 1: and for millions of Americans. The federal moratorium autivictions expiring
9:19
Speaker 1: overnight as last ditch efforts. You notice that right as
9:22
Speaker 1: last ditch efforts. Do you hear that? Yeah, last ditch efforts.
9:29
Speaker 1: They want you to They want you to understand how
9:31
Speaker 1: just terrible and last second, last moment, last ditch efforts
9:35
Speaker 1: failed your government. It failed you. That's what they're telling
9:41
Speaker 1: you in the beginning of their monologue, last ditch efforts
9:46
Speaker 1: to save you, because apparently you deserve saving millions of Americans.
9:52
Speaker 1: The federal moratorium autivictions expiring overnight as last ditch efforts
9:56
Speaker 1: by progressives on Capitol Hill failed to win an extension.
10:00
Speaker 1: Our Mary Alice Parks is live on Capitol Hill with
10:03
Speaker 1: what this all means for renters struggling in the pandemic,
10:06
Speaker 1: Mary Alice, good morning. But by the way, are you struggling?
10:11
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's challenge that premise from good morning America.
10:16
Speaker 1: Are you struggling if you're not having to pay your rent?
10:18
Speaker 1: Are you struggling if you're making more money not going
10:21
Speaker 1: to work than when you went to work, Because if
10:24
Speaker 1: someone's paying my rent, by definition, I am not struggling,
10:30
Speaker 1: So excuse me if I'm not buying your crap. Right,
10:34
Speaker 1: But they set it up perfectly that you're a victim America,
10:38
Speaker 1: and now you're struggling even though we've been paying your bills,
10:41
Speaker 1: which means you're not struggling. Our Mary Alice Parks is
10:44
Speaker 1: live on Capitol Hill with what this all means for
10:46
Speaker 1: renters struggling in the pandemic. Mary Alice, good morning, Good morning.
10:52
Speaker 1: Millions today you can imagine are waking up incredibly anxious
10:55
Speaker 1: now possibly facing the threat of eviction. Like you said,
10:58
Speaker 1: that federal eviction more and put in place last year
11:01
Speaker 1: to help keep people in their homes during the pandemic.
11:04
Speaker 1: It officially expired at midnight, and so experts are worried
11:07
Speaker 1: the country could be on the brink of an absolute
11:09
Speaker 1: housing crisis. Now, some states do have local moratorium still
11:14
Speaker 1: in place, including New York and California. You see on
11:16
Speaker 1: the list there still. According to US Census data, over
11:20
Speaker 1: three and a half million people say they are worried
11:22
Speaker 1: they are facing eviction. Seven million say they are behind
11:26
Speaker 1: on rent now. Last night here on the steps of
11:28
Speaker 1: the Capital, Congresswoman Corey Bush and a handful of other
11:31
Speaker 1: progressives held a rally. They are angry that the White
11:34
Speaker 1: House has not done more. They are begging their colleagues
11:37
Speaker 1: to act. On Friday, Democrats in the House just did
11:40
Speaker 1: not have the votes though, to get a bill done
11:42
Speaker 1: before they went out of session for the rest of
11:44
Speaker 1: the summer. And we've not seen Republicans here in the
11:47
Speaker 1: Senate in favor of moving on this. And that's partly
11:50
Speaker 1: because tens of billions of dollars has already been rolled
11:54
Speaker 1: out to the states to help renters. The question is
11:57
Speaker 1: why has that money been so slow to get out
11:59
Speaker 1: the door. We know that only about three billion of
12:02
Speaker 1: the forty six and a half billion has actually gone out.
12:07
Speaker 1: That's money that could really help renters and landlords, and
12:11
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of pressure on the states now
12:13
Speaker 1: to get that money to the people who need it most. Eva,
12:17
Speaker 1: Mary As Parks for us there on Capitol Hill, thank you.
12:20
Speaker 1: I love this. You know who needs it, who needs
12:22
Speaker 1: it the most? Right, it's who needs it the most.
12:24
Speaker 1: We've been giving it to you for eighteen months. Come on,
12:31
Speaker 1: these people need it. We've been giving it to you
12:33
Speaker 1: for eighteen months. And now you want me to believe
12:37
Speaker 1: that this is somehow just horrific. Congress already approved nearly
12:41
Speaker 1: forty seven billion in tax hours in federal housing aid
12:46
Speaker 1: to states during the pandemic. We've already paid out of
12:48
Speaker 1: our own pockets for people that are the majority of
12:51
Speaker 1: them lazy. Forty seven billion. That doesn't even count the
12:55
Speaker 1: state funds that came in there. All right. They say, oh,
12:58
Speaker 1: well it's been slow to may get into the hands
13:00
Speaker 1: of renters and landlords who were old payments. Well, it's
13:03
Speaker 1: the government program. Of course, it's going to be slow.
13:07
Speaker 1: And Joe Biden, by the way, every single conservative, every
13:11
Speaker 1: single Republican, needs to be telling the world this. They
13:14
Speaker 1: didn't want to save you. Let's exploit that politically, because
13:18
Speaker 1: when you come out the day before the band set
13:20
Speaker 1: to expire, as Biden did, calling on local governments to
13:23
Speaker 1: take all possible steps similarly, disperse the funds right that quote,
13:28
Speaker 1: there can be no excuse for any state or locality
13:30
Speaker 1: not accelerating funds to landlords and tenants that have been
13:34
Speaker 1: hurt during the pandemic. He said in a statement, why
13:36
Speaker 1: they wait to the night before to do this because
13:38
Speaker 1: they didn't want to extend it. Because they knew that
13:40
Speaker 1: this was a waste of taxpayers dollars and it was pandering.
13:44
Speaker 1: That's why they knew it. Briande directed The White House
13:48
Speaker 1: National Economic Council echoed that sentiment, saying, quote, today, no
13:52
Speaker 1: landlords should evict without seeking that rental assistance. So now
13:58
Speaker 1: you want to dictate to landlords what they can and
14:00
Speaker 1: cannot do when it comes to evicting people. Maybe you're
14:03
Speaker 1: a landlord and you want an actual tend that pays
14:05
Speaker 1: their damn bills and stead of the government paying the
14:07
Speaker 1: bill to you. Maybe you don't trust the government. The
14:10
Speaker 1: point is the landlord should not be taking every single
14:13
Speaker 1: demand that is given to them in a private sector,
14:17
Speaker 1: private contract between a tenant and an owner from the
14:23
Speaker 1: federal government. Stay the hell out of my life. They
14:28
Speaker 1: went on to say, states and localities need to get
14:30
Speaker 1: that money out urgently and they can do that how
14:33
Speaker 1: Speaker Pelosi ers Democrats and a letter Saturday night to
14:37
Speaker 1: check into how the money already allocate has been distributed
14:40
Speaker 1: so far in their own states and localities. She said.
14:44
Speaker 1: The Treasury Department, which transferred the funds earlier this year,
14:47
Speaker 1: offered to brief lawmakers next week. So this is how
14:49
Speaker 1: far behind they are and actually like doing their job.
14:54
Speaker 1: Biden set off the scramble by announcing Thursday he would
14:57
Speaker 1: allow the eviction man to expire instead of challenging and
14:59
Speaker 1: re sin Supreme Court ruling, signaling this would be the
15:02
Speaker 1: last headline. Why because he knew who's going to lose now.
15:06
Speaker 1: The White House quote had been clear that Biden would
15:08
Speaker 1: have liked to extend the federal eviction morator him. This
15:11
Speaker 1: is the This is the scumbags in the media right
15:14
Speaker 1: covering for Biden quote. The White House has been clear
15:17
Speaker 1: that Biden had liked to extend the federal fviction moratorim
15:22
Speaker 1: because the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant of
15:24
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. But there were also concerns that challenging the
15:29
Speaker 1: court could lead to a ruling restricting the administration's ability
15:33
Speaker 1: to respond to future public health crisises. Dun dunt du. Now,
15:37
Speaker 1: remember the main reason why the White House didn't challenge
15:41
Speaker 1: is because in the five four vote in June, the
15:43
Speaker 1: Supreme Court allowed the broad eviction band to continue only
15:46
Speaker 1: through the end of July. One of those the majority
15:49
Speaker 1: in the five was Justice Prett Kavanaugh. He met it
15:53
Speaker 1: clear that he would block any additional extensions unless there
15:55
Speaker 1: was clear and specific congressional authorization. Pay your bills, grow up,
16:04
Speaker 1: stop asking for handouts. And the National Apartment Association and
16:08
Speaker 1: several others this week file the federal lawsuit, which have
16:11
Speaker 1: a very good chance of winning, asking the federal government
16:14
Speaker 1: for twenty six billion in damages because the impact of
16:17
Speaker 1: their moratorium. And landlords, if you think they like this
16:21
Speaker 1: government money, they don't. They are against any extension. They
16:24
Speaker 1: too are arguing for speeding up the distribution of rental assistance,
16:27
Speaker 1: but saying we are tired of living in this limbo
16:30
Speaker 1: with a federal government. Now let's go back to how
16:36
Speaker 1: much money we've already been spending here. The administration is
16:40
Speaker 1: trying to keep renters in place, they say, through other means.
16:42
Speaker 1: It released more than one point five billion in rental
16:45
Speaker 1: assistance in June alone. So that's how much of your
16:48
Speaker 1: tax dollars we just spent. It's not just the housing
16:52
Speaker 1: moratorium the Democrats are pushing for when it comes to socialism.
16:57
Speaker 1: Give you another example. Members of the Squad Alamo mar
17:01
Speaker 1: are now pushing a one thousand, two hundred dollars monthly
17:05
Speaker 1: guaranteed income, includes homeless and some in US illegally, and
17:14
Speaker 1: yet another scheme for radical Democrats to buy votes. They
17:20
Speaker 1: have now come out with total socialism, an extreme socialist
17:25
Speaker 1: ideal as they call it. The Representative out A Minnesota
17:30
Speaker 1: proposed not one, but two bills on Friday that the
17:33
Speaker 1: media is not covering. They would provide a guaranteed income
17:38
Speaker 1: of one thousand, two hundred dollars every month to most Americans.
17:43
Speaker 1: The two proposals were formally introduced in the Sending Unconditional
17:48
Speaker 1: Payments to people Overcoming Resistance to Triumph also knows the
17:55
Speaker 1: Support Act and the Genuine Progress Indicator g PI Act.
18:01
Speaker 1: These are real. This is not a joke. The Support
18:04
Speaker 1: Act would focus on guaranteed income programs and start by
18:09
Speaker 1: funding pilot programs across the country from twenty twenty three
18:15
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty seven, with two point five billion in
18:18
Speaker 1: grants alone. The findings, they say, if the pilot program
18:23
Speaker 1: would then be reviewed in anticipation of creating a national
18:25
Speaker 1: program where almost every American would be guaranteed each and
18:30
Speaker 1: every month one thousand, two hundred dollars from the federal
18:34
Speaker 1: government starting in two twenty eight. The bill would aim
18:40
Speaker 1: to send each American that amount of money every year
18:44
Speaker 1: if you make less than seventy five thousand dollars a year,
18:47
Speaker 1: or heads of household with incomes of less than one thousand,
18:51
Speaker 1: or excuse me, one hundred and twelve thousand, five hundred
18:54
Speaker 1: a years. So to be clear, I want you to understand,
18:57
Speaker 1: if you and your wife, and this is where they're
19:01
Speaker 1: going with this, and I have no doubt this is
19:02
Speaker 1: going to have a real chance of happening, if you
19:05
Speaker 1: make one hundred and twelve thousand dollars a year, okay,
19:10
Speaker 1: as a family, and then you purposely don't make any
19:15
Speaker 1: more than that, because why would you when you have
19:20
Speaker 1: this other bill that sends you twelve hundred a month
19:22
Speaker 1: to adults making less than seventy five a year, and
19:26
Speaker 1: then that money could go to twenty four hundred a
19:28
Speaker 1: month for adults combined. So if you're making let's just
19:32
Speaker 1: do this on an individual, twelve hundred a month times
19:36
Speaker 1: twelve months in a year is fourteen thousand, four hundred.
19:39
Speaker 1: So you add fourteen thousand, four hundred to seventy five thousand,
19:46
Speaker 1: you come out with ninety eighty nine four a year,
19:49
Speaker 1: and the government's going to give you fourteen plus thousands
19:52
Speaker 1: of that money just free. Let's talk about families. Let's
19:57
Speaker 1: say you're making one hundred and twelve, all right, you
20:00
Speaker 1: get extra twenty four hundred times twelve. That's twenty eight eight.
20:05
Speaker 1: It's good money. Right now, you add your one thousand
20:08
Speaker 1: and one twelve or one hundred and twelve thousand to that,
20:12
Speaker 1: you're rich. You are rich one hundred and twelve, and
20:18
Speaker 1: then you're forty eight What does that come to? One
20:23
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty thousand and change. That's what the government
20:28
Speaker 1: wants to give to every American or liberals, socialists. Now,
20:31
Speaker 1: who's going to pay for this? The taxpayers? Anyone making
20:34
Speaker 1: over seventy five thousand a year as an individual or
20:37
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve five as a couple are going
20:41
Speaker 1: to get hammered. As if to ensure the bill passes
20:45
Speaker 1: the radical left and their smell tests. It also includes
20:48
Speaker 1: provisions you ready for this for illegal immigrants who file taxes,
20:52
Speaker 1: and would establish a banking system through the postal service
20:56
Speaker 1: for quote unbanked, underbanked, and individuals experience housing instability. Poverty
21:04
Speaker 1: is a choice, Somar said in statement about the bills.
21:08
Speaker 1: For too long, we have prioritize endless growth while millions
21:11
Speaker 1: are homeless, hungry, or without healthcare. So she's now blaming
21:14
Speaker 1: America's prosperity for this problem. We as a nation have
21:18
Speaker 1: the ability to make sure everybody has their basic needs
21:20
Speaker 1: like food, housing, and healthcare met every month, she says.
21:25
Speaker 1: The GPI Act would include alternate economic metrics to measure
21:29
Speaker 1: the economic wellbeing of households, calibrate and calculated through adjustments
21:34
Speaker 1: to gross domestic product that account for positive and negative economic,
21:39
Speaker 1: environmental and social factors that contribute to quote economic activity.
21:45
Speaker 1: Fellow Progressive representatives that coresponds to the Support Act include
21:48
Speaker 1: Corey Bush, Dwight Evans, Jamal Bowen. Bowman the programs would
21:57
Speaker 1: likely have some unintended consequences. I'll give you example. During
22:02
Speaker 1: the past year and a half, the extended unemployment benefit
22:04
Speaker 1: provided many unemployed with an extra three hundred dollar weekly
22:08
Speaker 1: bonus that led to the sounding one point eight million
22:12
Speaker 1: Americans losing the desire to work as they were spoon
22:16
Speaker 1: fed enough money through unemployment benefits, which led to grim
22:20
Speaker 1: jobs reports paying people not to work and it worked.
22:24
Speaker 1: There was a clear indication that once red states started
22:26
Speaker 1: opting out of the federal unemployment program, interest in job
22:30
Speaker 1: postings increased by five percent. Within a month of mostly
22:33
Speaker 1: Republican led states ending the federal pandemic unemployment compensation program,
22:40
Speaker 1: they had a thirty three percent drop in new jobless
22:42
Speaker 1: claims in those states. Because Republicans are smart and said,
22:47
Speaker 1: we don't want socialism, get your grown adult a double
22:50
Speaker 1: ass back to work. The cities of Oakland and Stockton,
22:55
Speaker 1: and the County of Merriam in California have already forged
22:58
Speaker 1: ahead with the idea of mandating universal basic income, despite
23:02
Speaker 1: people saying this is a bad idea. All three jurisdictions
23:08
Speaker 1: have implemented pilot programs attest their theory that we should
23:12
Speaker 1: distribute wealth. The wealth distribution program in Oakland is particularly
23:16
Speaker 1: troublesome and by the way racists, as it redirects funds
23:20
Speaker 1: only to people of color. So if you're a single
23:23
Speaker 1: mom who's got the wrong skin color, you're screwed. In March, Rochester,
23:29
Speaker 1: New York, Mayor Lovely Warren has up the Entity ANNY
23:34
Speaker 1: to propose a program that would that would include not
23:36
Speaker 1: only redistributing other people's wealth but also their property. You
23:43
Speaker 1: heard me, their property. Mayor Warren announced, effective immediately, an
23:50
Speaker 1: effort to exploit explore one reparations, two Universal Basic income,
23:56
Speaker 1: and three home ownership. Mayor Warren announced today and initia
24:01
Speaker 1: to explore the implementation of reparations, including the possible establishment
24:07
Speaker 1: of universal basic income program as well as home ownership program.
24:11
Speaker 1: Taking away other people's homes and giving them to others
24:16
Speaker 1: must be nice. This is happening in the United States
24:19
Speaker 1: of America right now. So if you think it's just
24:21
Speaker 1: about this moratorium with COVID, it's not. These squad members
24:28
Speaker 1: brag about being homeless for a night outside the secure capital.
24:32
Speaker 1: What a sacrifice with a stupid stunt they did? You know?
24:35
Speaker 1: They were out there wanting you to tell them how
24:37
Speaker 1: great they were, how amazing they were. Because US Representative
24:41
Speaker 1: Corey Bush spent Friday evening in early Saturday morning protesting
24:45
Speaker 1: outside the US Capitol building against the upcoming into the
24:48
Speaker 1: eviction moratorium. The place was totally secure. You can't get in.
24:57
Speaker 1: They held up signs in front of the Capit well
25:00
Speaker 1: that said housing is a human right. Corey Bush said,
25:06
Speaker 1: many of my Democratic colleagues chose to go on vacation
25:08
Speaker 1: early today rather than staying to vote to keep people
25:11
Speaker 1: in their homes. I'll be sleeping outside the Capitol, Knight.
25:14
Speaker 1: We've still got work to do. Idiots. These are idiots
25:20
Speaker 1: that are getting elected and they're giving away things, and
25:23
Speaker 1: they're making people dependent on the government like modern day slavery.
25:28
Speaker 1: That is what this is. It is modern day slavery,
25:32
Speaker 1: plain and simple, and everybody knows it. But when you
25:37
Speaker 1: can control people the way that they're trying to control
25:41
Speaker 1: people and make it where you can't even pay your
25:45
Speaker 1: basic bills without them, they own you. You're totally depend
25:53
Speaker 1: on them, and then they can do whatever the hell
25:54
Speaker 1: they want to do to you. It's a pretty brilliant move.
25:58
