WEBVTT - How HBCU Broadband Deserts Could Cost Black People Billions 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.600 An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.480 in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador 0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:11.840 accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.840 filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.680 some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.320 Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:28.120 Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.680 crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.960 one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.920 are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:43.000 one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.680 never return. But if you register using our CBP home 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.120 app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.240 Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.840 border and families will be protected. 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.480 Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. Let's 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:01.320 talk about this. 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:06.160 I want to talk about our conversation at Carnegie Hall 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:10.360 with Robert Smith. We'll do the full Carnegie Hall recap 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.679 later on. Yeah, but A, I mean, it's always a 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.200 pleasure whenever you get to speak to Robert Smith. 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:18.119 Great guy. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:22.080 We had a conversation with Robert Smith and Paul Judge 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:27.640 at Carnegie Hall on my birthday, ironically enough, and we 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.320 spoke on stage for about forty five minutes and then 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.160 we had a conversation off stage. And one of the 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.319 things that he's very passionate about, and he's actually spoke 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.600 about this on when he came out in Easia as well, 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:46.080 is the HBCU broadband issue. And this is something that 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.320 I don't think a lot of people are fully aware of. 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.280 And we actually put a tweet about it, and we 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:53.800 put it up and it got a lot of traction. 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.560 So just want to kind of cover that because this 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:00.120 is actually a pretty time sensitive news event that I 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.160 think deserves attention. So this year, the Bidy administration and 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:08.639 state governments are spending sixty five billion dollars on broadband infrastructure. 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:13.640 So they have an infrastructure project to upgrade America's broadband system. 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.120 It's the largest investment in our lifetimes when it comes 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.280 to you know, broadband infrastructure. So here's here's the thing. 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.040 This is why it's important. I believe there is one 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:27.840 hundred and one HBCUs, and those HBCUs, those one hundred 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:32.079 and one schools produced fifty percent of all black engineers, 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.000 fifty percent of all black attorneys, and eighty five percent 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:40.760 of all black doctors. So the majority of our black 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:45.519 professionals are coming from HBCUs. So the HBCUs are important, right, 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:51.000 But here's the problem. Only eighty two but eighty two 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:55.000 percent of HBCUs existing broadband deserts. So we talk about 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.160 food deserts a lot, but we haven't really spoken a 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:01.320 lot about broadband deserts. Whereas it's hard for people like 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.040 you know, we live in New York, or if you 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.560 go to La or Atlanta, it's hard for people to 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:09.360 fully understand, like there's really broadband deserts in America. But 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.160 when you go to a lot of these HBCUs, they're 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:18.279 in Mississippi or Alabama, or Louisiana or rural parts. 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.960 Of Texas Carolina. 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:25.240 These are rural communities where they don't have the same 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:29.920 internet power or broadband access that we have the luxury 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:34.160 of having in New York, in Miami, in LA and 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.600 San Francisco, different things in that nature. So that's a 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:42.960 major issue because that prevents not only the students, but 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:49.000 also communities because it's said that half of the black 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:54.080 people that live in America live around seventy HBCUs, So 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:59.279 half of the black population lives close to seventy HBCUs. 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.800 So the PCUS not having broadband access is not only 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.600 bad for HBC use students, but it's also bad for 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.720 the communities. So now you see it's bigger than just 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.320 a college issue. It's a Black American issue, it's an 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.400 American issue, but it affects so many there's so many 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:21.960 different ripples that go into play here. So Deloitte did 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:26.279 a study and they said that even increasing the broadband 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:32.160 penetration pause by ten percent would have created more than 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.400 eight hundred thousand jobs from twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen. 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.680 And McKinsey found that closing the broadband gap was one 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.840 of the solutions to add more than three hundred billion 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:50.360 dollars to the economy to actively black consumers. So this 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.039 is something that's extremely important because so you have to 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:58.800 have you have to put a proposal to be thought 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.799 about to get the money right. So it's one plan 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:06.640 costs four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, So seventy plans 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.080 for the HBCUs were cost around thirty million dollars. 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.080 Right, Well, there's a couple of parts to it, right. 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.040 So the first part is that the federal government is 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.200 going to release the funds to the state. The states 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.360 have the right to disperse the money to people who 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.800 have submitted plans, and so one of the things that 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.400 and when we spoke to Robert about this, one of 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.480 the things he did was took the initiative to create 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.320 a plan, and so he created a plan around an 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.120 HBCU and the total cost of it, you're right, was 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.800 four hundred and thirty thousand dollars to create not a 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.760 broadband desert, but have active broadband inside of a HBCU, 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.200 which in turn gave broadband access to the community surrounding 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:47.640 at HBCU. 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.800 Going So, it's extremely important because the funds I believe 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.680 are going to be dispersed starting in June. 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.479 The plans have to be submitted by June. The funds 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.560 will be dispers by the end of this year. 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.560 So it's time sensors. Long story short, it's time sensor. 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:10.600 It's extremely time sensitive. And if this doesn't happen, who's 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.680 to say when this is going to be done again. 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.160 So this is this is very important. This is very 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:22.600 important because there's no way to survive in this in 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:28.440 this economy without having proper Internet access. From an educational standpoint, 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.800 like it's hard to learn, it's hard to communicate, it's hard, 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.080 Like it's hard to get a job, especially now. A 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.680 lot of jobs are remote, right, but you can't really 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.799 have a functional job remote if you don't have high 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.760 Internet access. So there's so many different things why this 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:49.400 why this issue is important, and this is something that 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:55.200 elective of elected officials should be held accountable for making 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.039 sure this happens not only on the state level, but 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.080 on the presidential level as well, President Biden and the 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:07.800 whole administration. This is something that needs to be talked 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:13.760 about a lot on a national Black Caucus, to Republicans, 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.880 to Democrats, to everybody. This isn't a partisan issue. It's 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.920 just an issue that just needs to be done. So 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:25.280 regardless of what your political affiliations are, politics does play 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.280 a part. And you can't just brush it off to say, well, 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.120 politics aren't important, because they kind of are important. Because 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.760 this is an extremely important issue and this is solely 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.360 a political issue, Like the politicians are going to decide 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.840 this issue. So this goes back to my whole philosophy 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:46.440 on voting is important. It's just a matter of a 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:50.280 strategy put in place. Just voting blindly for somebody. No, 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.960 that's not the best way to go about it, having 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.880 super packs, holding people account. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:57.480 Ernest what's up. 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.960 You ever walk into a small business and everything just 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.360 works like the checkout is fast, the receipts are digital, 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.880 tipping is a breeze, and you're out the door before 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:11.040 the line even builds odds are they're using Square.

Man of Venezuelan charged with 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.960 filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.800 some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.440 Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:15.240 Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.840 crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.120 one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:26.040 are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:30.120 one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.800 never return. But if you register using our CBP home 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.240 app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:42.360 Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.960 border and families will be protected. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.199 Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:52.240 Well, picking and choosing strategically who you put in office 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.880 so they can uphold the agenda that that's part of 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.560 the political process. That's important, and that's something that we 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.320 have inn We've done a good job as far as 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.640 just voting, but that really hasn't made too much progress 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.520 because we haven't put the economic power behind it, we 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.760 haven't put the pressure behind it, we haven't put those 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.200 have to go hand in hand with voting. It's not 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.800 good enough just to vote. You got to have political 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:21.960 plan and action and money behind the votes to make 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.720 the politicians do what's important. And you have to be aware. 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:26.880 That's another thing. A lot of people don't even know 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.400 what this even exists, or they might not even know why. 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.160 So hopefully now after explaining it, you not only know why, 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.280 you know it exists, but you also know why it's important. 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:39.959 And I mean, it poses the real question. Right, let's 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.280 get it even more context to it. 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:45.600 Right, So, if there's seventy HBCUs with fifty percent of 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:49.640 the African American population living in proximity to them, if 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.520 we did that right, if it took four hundred and 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.600 thirty thousand for one school, if we did it for 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.000 all seventy, the toll is somewhere around thirty one. 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.640 Million, thirty million, thirty thirty one million. 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.120 We're talking about an infrastructure bill that was passed for 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.280 sixty five billion. 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:07.719 Thirty million is always going. 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.640 To and we won't even talk about how much. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:15.360 We're talking about bridges, tunnels, infrastructure. Broadband thirty million can 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:20.080 provide adequate access to the Internet for half of the 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.760 African American population thirty million dollars. So think about that right, Like, 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.400 think about what life would look like if there was 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.679 no broadbrand, Like and they pose a question where early 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.480 allegion exists, No, how how can we exist? 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:32.600 Put out the internet? 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.680 Right, we wouldn't have access to this, But imagine what 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.800 that does for communities now that have access. Right, if 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.240 we want to have the best, how can we compete 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:48.320 if we don't even have the resources to act adequately, research, develop, learn, 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:49.720 teach without. 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:50.360 Having the infrastructure. 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.440 Thirty million is a I mean, it sounds like a 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.120 lot of money when you're talking about a bill that's 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:56.920 going to be thirty two billion is going to be 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.920 put towards you know, internet infrastructure is this is a 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.800 small small, small small feet the fact that we don't 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.720 know about it, and there's no excuse, right, we're telling 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:07.199 people about it. 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:08.400 We're making people aware of it. 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.000 We had people when we put up the post acts 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.719 what is broadband, which furthermore tells us like, yo, we 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.880 have like when we say like we're far behind, like 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.000 we need to be on top of these things. This 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:24.880 is something like you said, this doesn't happen every decade 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:25.800 or every three decades. 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:27.320 This is a once in a lifetime thing. 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.600 And to not have us as a priority and as 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.280 part of this infrastructure bill is a travesy. If we 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.920 don't do something, who knows, Right, when Robert Smith was 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.199 on stage and he was talking about the Fourth Industrial 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.640 Revolution happening, this is going to be a major pillar 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.559 in it, right, because yeah, they can pass this bill now, 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.720 but what happens is they disperse this money over five, ten, fifteen, 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.440 twenty years. And if you're not in any of those 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:58.520 plans over the next five, ten, fifteen, twenty years, where's 0:13:58.559 --> 0:13:59.199 our community. 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:00.880 What happens about HBCUs. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.640 What happens to our best and brightest and most intelligent 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.200 from our community, what happens to them? That's what's on 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.520 the line here. And so like it's a serious issue 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:11.960 and it's something we can do. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:12.160 I know. 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.160 We put the link up to where you can write 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.840 to and where you can submit plans, and it's done 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.240 right like his team, they've done it. 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.280 It's a proven thing that works. So we got to 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:21.720 take action. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.280 My first thought is if we don't get this money, 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.200 that's an act of intellectual terrorism. My second thought is 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:35.440 what does it cost to repair the water supply issue 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:39.360 in Flint? So when we're talking about these topics, and 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:43.480 this is why, like us, taking action is really key. 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.200 The water desert, the food desert issue that it exists 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:53.000 in broad band, healthcare, issues that exist in our communities. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:57.200 It's a travesty man like for thirty million dollars to 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.440 not go to our communities but billions be shipped to 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:05.480 Ukraine other nations. I think it's a it's heartbreaking. So 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.800 whatever we can do to make sure that we get 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.640 this money, please, let's do it. I feel like our 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.880 communities are being actively attacked and very secret and quiet ways. 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.400 This is heartbreaking. This is heartbreaking. 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.280 Yeah, so so yeah, so you know, anything that we 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.800 can do. I mean, we have a platform. So as 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:30.440 a as a media outlets, our job not just to educate, 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:34.000 but to also spread awareness and news is extremely important. 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.000 So we get to you know, that's the good thing 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.360 with being a media company. You get to curate whatever 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.480 you want to talk about. So if the vast majority 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.360 of people are not talking about it, then we have 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.920 an opportunity to talk about it and hopefully, you know, 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.200 people will take action from learning about it and you know, 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.040 learn more about it and see raise more awareness, spread 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.240 it on your platforms and hopefully it becomes a trickle 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:04.680 down in fact, because it's important, and like Ian said, 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.400 you know, millions of dollars gets sent to Ukraine and 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:14.640 God blessed. But ultimately, we have to find a way 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:26.280 to make sure that American citizens are sufficiently taken care 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.320 of because if not, it's only gonna be bad for 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:30.880 the country. That's what I'm saying. It's not it's not 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:34.640 a black issue. If if we if black people don't 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.120 have broadband access, if HBCU people don't have broadband access, 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.080 that is going to lead to the fall of America. 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:46.760 Because you're some of the brightest minds out of this 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:53.360 new age. You're you're limiting your pool of talent. So 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.760 it's not something that it's not something that just just 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.400 affects black people. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.240 It affects all people. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:06.119 So this is something that you know is important, and 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:08.760 you know, glad we got a chance to highlight it. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.680 And uh, like I said, I'm gonna tell the rest 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.760 of the Robert Smith's story later on, but that one 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:21.880 in particular, I thought was uh important to talk about. Midshell, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:29.200 my graduates from my school being force backdrop drop. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.440 Mike drop backdrop drop. 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:46.240 An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:50.080 in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:54.439 accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.399 filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:02.280 some of the heinous micro criminals caught because of President 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.840 Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:10.679 Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:14.280 crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.560 one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:21.480 are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.600 one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.280 never return. But if you register using our CBP home 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.680 app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:37.800 Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:39.959 border and families. 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.000 Will be protected.
