1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. 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. But if you register using our CBP home

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Do what's right. 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 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. Let's

17
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: talk about this.

18
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: I want to talk about our conversation at Carnegie Hall

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: with Robert Smith. We'll do the full Carnegie Hall recap

20
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: later on. Yeah, but A, I mean, it's always a

21
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: pleasure whenever you get to speak to Robert Smith.

22
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 4: Great guy.

23
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: We had a conversation with Robert Smith and Paul Judge

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: at Carnegie Hall on my birthday, ironically enough, and we

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 3: spoke on stage for about forty five minutes and then

26
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: we had a conversation off stage. And one of the

27
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 3: things that he's very passionate about, and he's actually spoke

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: about this on when he came out in Easia as well,

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: is the HBCU broadband issue. And this is something that

30
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of people are fully aware of.

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: And we actually put a tweet about it, and we

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: put it up and it got a lot of traction.

33
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 3: So just want to kind of cover that because this

34
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: is actually a pretty time sensitive news event that I

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: think deserves attention. So this year, the Bidy administration and

36
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: state governments are spending sixty five billion dollars on broadband infrastructure.

37
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: So they have an infrastructure project to upgrade America's broadband system.

38
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: It's the largest investment in our lifetimes when it comes

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: to you know, broadband infrastructure. So here's here's the thing.

40
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: This is why it's important. I believe there is one

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: hundred and one HBCUs, and those HBCUs, those one hundred

42
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: and one schools produced fifty percent of all black engineers,

43
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: fifty percent of all black attorneys, and eighty five percent

44
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: of all black doctors. So the majority of our black

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 3: professionals are coming from HBCUs. So the HBCUs are important, right,

46
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: But here's the problem. Only eighty two but eighty two

47
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: percent of HBCUs existing broadband deserts. So we talk about

48
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: food deserts a lot, but we haven't really spoken a

49
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: lot about broadband deserts. Whereas it's hard for people like

50
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: you know, we live in New York, or if you

51
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: go to La or Atlanta, it's hard for people to

52
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: fully understand, like there's really broadband deserts in America. But

53
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 3: when you go to a lot of these HBCUs, they're

54
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:18,279
Speaker 3: in Mississippi or Alabama, or Louisiana or rural parts.

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 4: Of Texas Carolina.

56
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: These are rural communities where they don't have the same

57
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 3: internet power or broadband access that we have the luxury

58
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: of having in New York, in Miami, in LA and

59
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: San Francisco, different things in that nature. So that's a

60
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: major issue because that prevents not only the students, but

61
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: also communities because it's said that half of the black

62
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: people that live in America live around seventy HBCUs, So

63
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,279
Speaker 3: half of the black population lives close to seventy HBCUs.

64
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: So the PCUS not having broadband access is not only

65
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: bad for HBC use students, but it's also bad for

66
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: the communities. So now you see it's bigger than just

67
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: a college issue. It's a Black American issue, it's an

68
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: American issue, but it affects so many there's so many

69
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: different ripples that go into play here. So Deloitte did

70
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: a study and they said that even increasing the broadband

71
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: penetration pause by ten percent would have created more than

72
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: eight hundred thousand jobs from twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen.

73
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: And McKinsey found that closing the broadband gap was one

74
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 3: of the solutions to add more than three hundred billion

75
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: dollars to the economy to actively black consumers. So this

76
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 3: is something that's extremely important because so you have to

77
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: have you have to put a proposal to be thought

78
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 3: about to get the money right. So it's one plan

79
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: costs four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, So seventy plans

80
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: for the HBCUs were cost around thirty million dollars.

81
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: Right, Well, there's a couple of parts to it, right.

82
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 5: So the first part is that the federal government is

83
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 5: going to release the funds to the state. The states

84
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 5: have the right to disperse the money to people who

85
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 5: have submitted plans, and so one of the things that

86
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 5: and when we spoke to Robert about this, one of

87
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 5: the things he did was took the initiative to create

88
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 5: a plan, and so he created a plan around an

89
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 5: HBCU and the total cost of it, you're right, was

90
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 5: four hundred and thirty thousand dollars to create not a

91
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 5: broadband desert, but have active broadband inside of a HBCU,

92
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 5: which in turn gave broadband access to the community surrounding

93
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: at HBCU.

94
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: Going So, it's extremely important because the funds I believe

95
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: are going to be dispersed starting in June.

96
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 5: The plans have to be submitted by June. The funds

97
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 5: will be dispers by the end of this year.

98
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: So it's time sensors. Long story short, it's time sensor.

99
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 3: It's extremely time sensitive. And if this doesn't happen, who's

100
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: to say when this is going to be done again.

101
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: So this is this is very important. This is very

102
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 3: important because there's no way to survive in this in

103
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: this economy without having proper Internet access. From an educational standpoint,

104
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: like it's hard to learn, it's hard to communicate, it's hard,

105
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: Like it's hard to get a job, especially now. A

106
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: lot of jobs are remote, right, but you can't really

107
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 3: have a functional job remote if you don't have high

108
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: Internet access. So there's so many different things why this

109
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: why this issue is important, and this is something that

110
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: elective of elected officials should be held accountable for making

111
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 3: sure this happens not only on the state level, but

112
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: on the presidential level as well, President Biden and the

113
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: whole administration. This is something that needs to be talked

114
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: about a lot on a national Black Caucus, to Republicans,

115
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: to Democrats, to everybody. This isn't a partisan issue. It's

116
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: just an issue that just needs to be done. So

117
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: regardless of what your political affiliations are, politics does play

118
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: a part. And you can't just brush it off to say, well,

119
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: politics aren't important, because they kind of are important. Because

120
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: this is an extremely important issue and this is solely

121
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: a political issue, Like the politicians are going to decide

122
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: this issue. So this goes back to my whole philosophy

123
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: on voting is important. It's just a matter of a

124
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: strategy put in place. Just voting blindly for somebody. No,

125
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 3: that's not the best way to go about it, having

126
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: super packs, holding people account.

127
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:57,480

00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 5: the PNC Financial Service Group, Inc. P and C Bank

158
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 5: National Association Member FDIC.

159
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

160
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador

161
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with

162
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

163
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

164
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States

165
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

166
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

167
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

168
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly

169
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will

170
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

171
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

172
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

173
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.

174
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

175
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: Well, picking and choosing strategically who you put in office

176
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: so they can uphold the agenda that that's part of

177
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: the political process. That's important, and that's something that we

178
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: have inn We've done a good job as far as

179
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: just voting, but that really hasn't made too much progress

180
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: because we haven't put the economic power behind it, we

181
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 3: haven't put the pressure behind it, we haven't put those

182
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 3: have to go hand in hand with voting. It's not

183
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: good enough just to vote. You got to have political

184
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: plan and action and money behind the votes to make

185
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: the politicians do what's important. And you have to be aware.

186
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: That's another thing. A lot of people don't even know

187
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 3: what this even exists, or they might not even know why.

188
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: So hopefully now after explaining it, you not only know why,

189
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: you know it exists, but you also know why it's important.

190
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 4: And I mean, it poses the real question. Right, let's

191
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: get it even more context to it.

192
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 6: Right, So, if there's seventy HBCUs with fifty percent of

193
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 6: the African American population living in proximity to them, if

194
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 6: we did that right, if it took four hundred and

195
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 6: thirty thousand for one school, if we did it for

196
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 6: all seventy, the toll is somewhere around thirty one.

197
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 4: Million, thirty million, thirty thirty one million.

198
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 5: We're talking about an infrastructure bill that was passed for

199
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 5: sixty five billion.

200
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 4: Thirty million is always going.

201
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: To and we won't even talk about how much.

202
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 5: We're talking about bridges, tunnels, infrastructure. Broadband thirty million can

203
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 5: provide adequate access to the Internet for half of the

204
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 5: African American population thirty million dollars. So think about that right, Like,

205
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 5: think about what life would look like if there was

206
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 5: no broadbrand, Like and they pose a question where early

207
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 5: allegion exists, No, how how can we exist?

208
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 4: Put out the internet?

209
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 5: Right, we wouldn't have access to this, But imagine what

210
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 5: that does for communities now that have access. Right, if

211
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 5: we want to have the best, how can we compete

212
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 5: if we don't even have the resources to act adequately, research, develop, learn,

213
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 5: teach without.

214
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 4: Having the infrastructure.

215
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 5: Thirty million is a I mean, it sounds like a

216
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 5: lot of money when you're talking about a bill that's

217
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 5: going to be thirty two billion is going to be

218
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 5: put towards you know, internet infrastructure is this is a

219
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 5: small small, small small feet the fact that we don't

220
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 5: know about it, and there's no excuse, right, we're telling

221
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 5: people about it.

222
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 4: We're making people aware of it.

223
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 5: We had people when we put up the post acts

224
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 5: what is broadband, which furthermore tells us like, yo, we

225
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 5: have like when we say like we're far behind, like

226
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 5: we need to be on top of these things. This

227
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 5: is something like you said, this doesn't happen every decade

228
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 5: or every three decades.

229
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 4: This is a once in a lifetime thing.

230
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 5: And to not have us as a priority and as

231
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 5: part of this infrastructure bill is a travesy. If we

232
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 5: don't do something, who knows, Right, when Robert Smith was

233
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 5: on stage and he was talking about the Fourth Industrial

234
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 5: Revolution happening, this is going to be a major pillar

235
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 5: in it, right, because yeah, they can pass this bill now,

236
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 5: but what happens is they disperse this money over five, ten, fifteen,

237
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 5: twenty years. And if you're not in any of those

238
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 5: plans over the next five, ten, fifteen, twenty years, where's

239
00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 5: our community.

240
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 4: What happens about HBCUs.

241
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 5: What happens to our best and brightest and most intelligent

242
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 5: from our community, what happens to them? That's what's on

243
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 5: the line here. And so like it's a serious issue

244
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 5: and it's something we can do.

245
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 4: I know.

246
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 5: We put the link up to where you can write

247
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 5: to and where you can submit plans, and it's done

248
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 5: right like his team, they've done it.

249
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 4: It's a proven thing that works. So we got to

250
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: take action.

251
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 7: My first thought is if we don't get this money,

252
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 7: that's an act of intellectual terrorism. My second thought is

253
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 7: what does it cost to repair the water supply issue

254
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 7: in Flint? So when we're talking about these topics, and

255
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 7: this is why, like us, taking action is really key.

256
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 7: The water desert, the food desert issue that it exists

257
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 7: in broad band, healthcare, issues that exist in our communities.

258
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 7: It's a travesty man like for thirty million dollars to

259
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 7: not go to our communities but billions be shipped to

260
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 7: Ukraine other nations. I think it's a it's heartbreaking. So

261
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 7: whatever we can do to make sure that we get

262
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 7: this money, please, let's do it. I feel like our

263
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 7: communities are being actively attacked and very secret and quiet ways.

264
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: This is heartbreaking. This is heartbreaking.

265
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so so yeah, so you know, anything that we

266
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: can do. I mean, we have a platform. So as

267
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: a as a media outlets, our job not just to educate,

268
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 3: but to also spread awareness and news is extremely important.

269
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: So we get to you know, that's the good thing

270
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 3: with being a media company. You get to curate whatever

271
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: you want to talk about. So if the vast majority

272
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 3: of people are not talking about it, then we have

273
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: an opportunity to talk about it and hopefully, you know,

274
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: people will take action from learning about it and you know,

275
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: learn more about it and see raise more awareness, spread

276
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: it on your platforms and hopefully it becomes a trickle

277
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 3: down in fact, because it's important, and like Ian said,

278
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: you know, millions of dollars gets sent to Ukraine and

279
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 3: God blessed. But ultimately, we have to find a way

280
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: to make sure that American citizens are sufficiently taken care

281
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: of because if not, it's only gonna be bad for

282
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: the country. That's what I'm saying. It's not it's not

283
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: a black issue. If if we if black people don't

284
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: have broadband access, if HBCU people don't have broadband access,

285
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: that is going to lead to the fall of America.

286
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: Because you're some of the brightest minds out of this

287
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: new age. You're you're limiting your pool of talent. So

288
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: it's not something that it's not something that just just

289
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 3: affects black people.

290
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 4: It affects all people.

291
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 3: So this is something that you know is important, and

292
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 3: you know, glad we got a chance to highlight it.

293
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 3: And uh, like I said, I'm gonna tell the rest

294
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 3: of the Robert Smith's story later on, but that one

295
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 3: in particular, I thought was uh important to talk about. Midshell,

296
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 3: my graduates from my school being force backdrop drop.

297
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 4: Mike drop backdrop drop.

298
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

299
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

300
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

301
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

302
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: some of the heinous micro criminals caught because of President

303
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States

304
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

305
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

306
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

307
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly

308
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will

309
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

310
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

311
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,800
