1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: So there was a new Gallup poll that came out

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: and it says fifty nine percent of US adults say

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: they expect to have a good life in five years.

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: That's the lowest it's been in twenty years.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: By the way, so let me restate that, yeah, do that.

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: Only fifty nine percent of US adults say they expect

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: to have a good life in five years.

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: I saw this story, and of course I always like

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: to dig into the details, especially when it comes to polls,

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: because how you ask the question, how the data is tabulated,

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: that's going to tell you if there were biases in

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: these polls. I also look for stories because usually you

13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: get headlines, but there may be more information that the

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: headlines or the stories don't cover. And this is a

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: great example of that because I found this and so,

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: like you said, fifty nine percent adults think that they'll

17
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: have a good life in five years, and that's the

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 2: lowest that it's ever been. But they broke it out

19
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: by race, and this is fascinating, and to me, this

20
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: is the headline, the subgroup, the subgroup. So of that

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: fifty six percent of white adults think they'll be better

22
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: off in five years, sixty seven percent of Black adults

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: think they'll be better off in five years sixty three

24
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: percent of Hispanics, And so the two largest minority groups,

25
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: Blacks and Hispanics in this country are actually more optimistic

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: than the white sure for their future. I thought that

27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: was fascinating, especially because you see all of these false

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: narratives that exist as it relates to Trump and the administration.

29
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: We saw that in the last week or so with

30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: the Olympics. We saw some of these Olympic athletes that

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: started trashing the United States, and some of them specifically

32
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: mentioned LGB issues. Donald Trump has been very pro gay

33
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: ever since his first term in office. So the idea

34
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: that you know, gay people in this country have fewer

35
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: rights or are under attack from the Trump administration, shoot,

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: go to Trump's website right now. There's LGB merch for

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: Trump that you can buy on his website right now.

38
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: He's been very pro gay, and I think that there's

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: this other narrative out there that Trump has been very

40
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: detrimental to minorities in this country. Yet in this latest

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: Gallup survey, the minority, the two largest minority groups in

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: this country are the two most optimistic on how their

43
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: future is going to turn out.

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: Well, another thing that it shows you is that their

45
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: feelings about the future it's not just about who's in power.

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: It also reflects economic stress and uncertainty, So that is

47
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: at play there as well. You've got to have confidence

48
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: in your government's policies and that they're not undermining your

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: everyday life.

50
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I get the headline, Hey, this number

51
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: for all Americans is that the lowest that it's been. Okay, fine,

52
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: that's a valid piece of information to have. But like

53
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 2: I said, I think when you dig deeper, the real

54
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: headline is is that, according to Gallipol, blacks and Hispanics

55
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: think that their lives will be better in five years

56
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: more so than white Americans do.

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: So it's not all gloom and doom, at least not

58
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: according to the White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levette. She

59
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: closed out Tuesday's White House Press briefing and she wanted

60
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: to highlight some stories about the administration's recent successes that

61
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: the media has been ignoring.

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: I will just point out that there are a lot

63
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: of wins in the news this week that people in

64
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 3: this room have not asked about because you continue to

65
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 3: ask questions about the same subject. So let me point

66
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: them out for you again. On Friday, the Dow shattered

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: fifty thousand for the first time ever. This week, the

68
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: American Society of Plastic Surgeons came out in opposition to

69
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: gender mutilation surgeries for children. They are the first major

70
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: medical group to do so a federal appeals court. Today,

71
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: nobody asked about that, just upheld the Trump administration's policy

72
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: of detaining illegal aliens, validating the strong measures that have

73
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: driven illegal crossings to historic lows, and sent a crystal

74
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: clear message that under President Trump, if you enter the

75
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: country illegally, you will be detained and removed. The murder rate, again,

76
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: not a single question about this, has plunged to a

77
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five year low as crime falls

78
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: across the board thanks to President Trump's crime crackdown. We

79
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: also saw this week national media and rents have fallen

80
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: to a four year low following six consecutive of monthly declines,

81
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: and mortgage affordability has surged to a four year high.

82
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: Home Ownership is the core foundation principle of the American dream,

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: and I will repeat that. Mortgage affordability this week surged

84
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: to a four year high, but not a single of

85
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 3: mention of that in this briefing room today and again

86
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: this came out last Friday, but for an unprecedented ninth

87
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: straight month, there were zero illegal border crossings at the

88
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: southern border. So we're going to get back to business.

89
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: The President is very busy today and you will see

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 3: him all tomorrow at the event in the East room,

91
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: touting his administration's energy policy. Thank you.

92
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: She's like, you didn't ask about any of the good stuff.

93
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: You just want to talk about Epstein. Yeah, that's what

94
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk about.

95
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: It's true. And then she dumped all the good things

96
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: that would happen. And by the way, did you notice

97
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: she didn't stick around for any questions. Now, here's all

98
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: the awesome stuff we did, and mic drop, I'm out.

99
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: I'll see you later.

100
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: I did see something she what was her line? She

101
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: mentioned about housing and.

102
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: Costs, Mortgage affordability.

103
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: Mortgage affordability, that's what she called it. There was a

104
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: recent report from zillah and it ranked Indianapolis as the

105
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: most buy or friendly housing market for twenty twenty six.

106
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: They said that it offers the best combination of affordability,

107
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: home value upside, and lower competition.

108
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for as many of us think that

109
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: housing and home ownership has become much more unaffordable in

110
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: this state than specifically in Indianapolis, and comparison to much

111
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: of the rest of the country, housing is below the

112
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: national average in the state, and in this city it

113
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: is more affordable. We do have more inventory on the

114
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: market here. Every time I see a report like that,

115
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: I'm thankful I don't live in California or some of

116
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: the some of the state cities in Florida where there's

117
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: a housing shortage, or Las Vegas or any of those

118
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: cities where just housing we think it's out of control. Here, man,

119
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: there's tons of other cities where it is way out

120
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: of control.
