These are just 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will 12 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: never return.

Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: border and families will be protected. 16 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 3: So you said that ninety five percent of the customers 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 3: of the world are outside of America. And obviously we 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 3: met you in Ghana, and you know, obviously you were 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: on uh Obama Obama's team and now you're you're with 21 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 3: the chain of commerce, so you have a good perspective 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 3: of businesses, black businesses in America. Right, what do you 23 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 3: think are some of the issues that let's talk about 24 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 3: black businesses specifically when it comes to black business because 25 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 3: I have a theory that a lot of black businesses 26 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 3: just start they start the wrong type of business, right, 27 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: They're not scalable. They're not designed to reach our international audience. 28 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: They're more like mom and pop local situations where you 29 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: just become an employee of your of just yourself, and 30 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 3: that's difficult to scale. So looking at it from you know, 31 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 3: your view, what are some of the things that black 32 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 3: businesses are doing wrong? And how can they improve to 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: compete in this global economy that way in now you 34 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: know you're right, I mean. 35 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 4: I mean the raality is most black owned businesses are small, 36 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 4: I mean, one, two, three employees. 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 2: They're in services, professional services, and in that nature. 38 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 4: You know, I think I think part of the problem 39 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 4: is that we've not been exposed to some of this knowledge, 40 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,399 Speaker 4: and it is that exposure I think that is extremely important. 41 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 4: I mean again, I mean, you think about the international 42 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 4: marketplace where ninety five cent consumers are Nobody ever taught 43 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 4: me how to think about exporting an international trade. I 44 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 4: mean it was when I after the day after the 45 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 4: inauguration of Present Obama and I was going the architects 46 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 4: of his first campaign. We didn't have a commerce secretary, 47 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 4: and I was asked to go hold down the fort 48 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 4: at the United States Department of Commerce. And probably within 49 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 4: three four months, the International Department approached me as the 50 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 4: highest ranking official at the Department of Commerce and says, 51 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 4: you know, because you're the highest ranking political appointee from 52 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 4: President Obama, you're going to have to lead this trade 53 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 4: mission to India. Hell I never really been much out 54 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 4: of the United States and Colinilla out in Bahamas and 55 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 4: plays like that, So that was my really first experience 56 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 4: and understanding and going to Mumbai and Shannai and New 57 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 4: Delhi and places like that and understanding even you know, 58 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 4: the idea of been exposed to trade and business in 59 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 4: another country. 60 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: And since then I've been totally immersed in it. 61 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 4: But my point is saying that one of the barriers 62 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 4: or one of the ways, we just have to. 63 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: Rethink how we do business. 64 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 4: That means how we start businesses, follow the money follow 65 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 4: the opportunities. And again I think, you know, foreign and 66 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 4: exporting is a unique and new but valuable opportunity. It 67 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 4: must be to our growth strategy. And you know, and 68 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 4: this is you know, one of the issues I got 69 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 4: oftentimes with with with leaders. I mean, you know, whether 70 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 4: it's I mean you all, I've heard you all talk 71 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 4: about our political leaders. 72 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: I mean, folks don't come. 73 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 4: To our churches and communities talking about China and Indian 74 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 4: trade and exporting. 75 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 5: Uh. 76 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 4: And we have to change that and demand the conversation 77 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 4: that brings more dialogue and knowledge and assets and resources 78 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: from all of these federal agencies. Good friend of mine, 79 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 4: Rita Joe Lewis, is the very black woman chair of 80 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: the Export Import Bait. 81 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: Most people in America don't even know what that is. 82 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 4: And so one of the goals that I have is 83 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 4: like bridging this knowledge gap with the information that exists 84 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 4: in getting that information to our black owned enterprise across 85 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 4: the country. It's just a knowledge gap as well, because 86 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 4: we know we don't have a lack of businesses, but 87 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 4: we do have a lack of high growth businesses that 88 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 4: are competing in these industries that are not only shaping 89 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 4: and changing America, but shaping and changing the world. 90 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 5: You spoke about the exposure piece that I think that's 91 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 5: vitally important, right, and the education comes with that, right 92 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 5: when you go to doo place here is you get 93 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 5: to learn new things. So you spoke about India and China, 94 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 5: but we met you in Africa. So what are your 95 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 5: thoughts around the rising economies there, the workforce, the opportunities. 96 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 5: Right when we're talking about import export, we're talking about 97 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 5: business development. What are your thoughts around Africa and maybe 98 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 5: specifically in Ghana. 99 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 4: Listen, I think Africa, you know, is the new economy 100 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 4: of the world. You know, we have a whole US 101 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 4: Africa Business Center at the US Chamber Comrace that strategically 102 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 4: focuses on countries across the content of Africa. And you know, 103 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 4: whether it's Ghana or Rwanda or other parts of Africa, 104 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 4: it's just rich with an opportunity. 105 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 2: I mean, you mentioned workforce. 106 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: I think one of the most fascinating things that that 107 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 4: we need to recognize as the average age across the 108 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 4: continent is only nineteen years of age. And when you 109 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 4: think about the aging workforce in America, the workforce is shrinking, 110 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 4: is becoming younger, the workforce in other countries around the 111 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 4: world is shrink shrinking. We have to think about Africa 112 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 4: and these young people as being the future of work 113 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 4: across the continent, but around the world. So I do 114 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 4: think Africa is just rich with opportunity, and you're right, 115 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 4: even in Ghana. I mean, I spent a lot of 116 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 4: time meeting with some of the local entrepreneurs there and and. 117 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: You know, one of the things I've learned is again 118 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: it's not a. 119 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 4: Lack of innovators and entrepreneurs, but it's capital and a small. 120 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 5: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank. 121 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 5: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring, 122 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 5: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professionals 123 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 5: routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little, 124 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 5: day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank. 125 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 5: It might seem boring to safe plan and make calculated 126 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 5: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is 127 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 5: what helps you live or more happily fulfilled life.

How can we get 176 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 4: those entrepreneurs in the continent doing business across to the Aspera. 177 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 4: And so yeah, I think Africa is the future. I 178 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 4: really believe that, and the data is clear, and I 179 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 4: think we have to lean in on America policy, but 180 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 4: as well as drive more American investment into Africa and 181 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 4: understand for us as entrepreneurs what the opportunity is to 182 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 4: export from Africa could mean to the United States and 183 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 4: across the world. 184 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 6: If someone's inspired tonight watching you, what would be like 185 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 6: the five best businesses to build in god or on 186 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 6: the content of Africa for this year, in this decade. 187 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 2: But you know, I think it's just everything man. 188 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 4: You know, obviously the number one if you look at again, 189 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 4: we're investment and that's one of the measures that I 190 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 4: look at from the United States and other countries. 191 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: Energy. It's just cute. 192 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 4: Africa has such a tremendous need for energy. I mean, 193 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 4: you guys have been across the content. I imagine it's 194 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 4: not uncommon for you to lose power, you know, at 195 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 4: night or this, and you cannot have business without sources 196 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 4: of energy. So I think in energy, whether that's in 197 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 4: solar or other types of energy, is just wide open. 198 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 4: I think in infrastructure, it's another area that's just rich 199 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 4: with opportunity. I mean, you don't have to travel too far, 200 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 4: you know, from ocraa Ghana or another rule parts to 201 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 4: know that you know the roads and bridges and how 202 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 4: we think of infrastructure, to include the technology infrastructure, it's 203 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 4: just why open for investment and opportunities. Another area that 204 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 4: you know, I think sometimes we sleep on is kind 205 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 4: of demystifying the products that we can export from Africa, 206 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 4: not only in terms of aron, minerals and all of 207 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 4: those kinds of things, but what about clothing. And I 208 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 4: mean I've been working with the system from Africa on 209 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 4: Horche butler exports and it's just all kinds of products 210 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 4: like that. I laugh and I laugh at myself because 211 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 4: I got fascinated with this certain brand of cookie that's 212 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 4: made in Africa that's more healthy than perhaps a lot 213 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 4: of cookies, and I have a cookie addiction. But imagine 214 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 4: that we can get a product like that in corporate 215 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 4: supply chains. I don't know, you know, you know it's 216 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 4: not uncommon. Obviously, when you're flying on an airplane, you'll 217 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 4: always get that little bisc off cookie. I'm trying to 218 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 4: disrupt that, and you can get just small things like 219 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 4: that that we just don't think about the products that 220 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 4: we can import from the continent of Africa and Ghana 221 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 4: in particular, because that's where you know, we all met. 222 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: I just think it's rich. Did you have to rethink? 223 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 4: And then the last thing I want to say about Africa, 224 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 4: and you know, we have a whole road show called 225 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 4: Advancing with Africa. Some of this is about demystifying and 226 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 4: debunking our perception of Africa. And so we have a 227 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 4: whole effort to try to demystify and debunk a lot 228 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 4: of perceptions that we have about the continent. But you've 229 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 4: been there, I mean you sold firsthand. I mean, Africa 230 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 4: just rich with economic opportunity. 231 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: And we're going to lean in on it. Yeah. 232 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 3: I just I want to add to that too. I 233 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 3: just feel like, because that's a common question, I feel 234 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: like the best thing that people can do is go 235 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 3: to any country. Well, like let's say Ghana. Go to 236 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: Ghana just as a tourist and just make ops. I 237 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 3: was just there, just making observation that you said, the infrastructure. 238 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 3: That's one of the things that I noticed a lot 239 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 3: of times. Most people will look at something that's like, oh, 240 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: this the road is bad. But an entrepreneur, I look 241 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 3: at it like that's an opportunity to start paving roads right, 242 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 3: or like they don't really have sidewalks, Okay, that's an 243 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: opportunity for sidewalks. There's one thing that I noticed that 244 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 3: I don't want to speak about publicly because I actually 245 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 3: have an idea about this, but I just got to 246 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 3: figure out. But I say that to say I think 247 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 3: that everybody should go if you're interested, because that's the 248 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 3: question I get, like what business should I start? What 249 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 3: business should I start? We met that, We met somebody 250 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 3: that was telling us about a gentleman that started a 251 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: porter potty business and made billions of dollars off of 252 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 3: porter partties because there was no porter partties in Ghana 253 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 3: at that time. And then all the construction sites, you 254 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 3: know you need porta potties. Who's thinking about that right? 255 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 2: Like this hard? 256 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 3: It would be hard for somebody to tell you go 257 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 3: to Africa and start a porta potty business. But if 258 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 3: you're if you're in the business and you go there 259 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 3: and you realize that there's no porter partties, that you 260 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 3: might say, oh, this is a business that's worth starting. 261 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 3: But there's so many I think things that are needed, 262 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 3: right that is really up to you to kind of 263 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 3: figure out what you're passionate about, what you have knowledge about, 264 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 3: what you have relationships about. But the best way, like 265 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 3: you said, just to demystify the situation is to actually 266 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 3: get on the ground, talk to the locals, take a 267 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: trip ride, see what's going on, be observant, and then you, 268 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 3: as an intelligent person, can kind of make your own decision. 269 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 270 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador 271 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with 272 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 273 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 274 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christinoman, the United States Secretary 275 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security under President Trump. Attempted illegal border crossings 276 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over one 277 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you are 278 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly one 279 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will never return. 280 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: But if you register using our CBP home app and 281 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. Do 282 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: what's right, leave now. Under President Trump America's laws, border 283 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: and families. 284 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 2: Will be protected. Sponsored by the United States Department of 285 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: Homeland Security,
