00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you because you bring up an

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: interesting point. You're a native New Yorker. Affordable housing is

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: something that's very big topic these days, and the rent

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: skyrocketed as skyrocket over the last decade. I think the

36
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 2: average manha rent is like close to four thousand dollars

37
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: right now for one bedroom.

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: It's too much.

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: And a lot of those programs that you described that

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: even that you grew up and have been taken away.

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: So what's your thoughts on you know, affordability in the

42
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: city of New York.

43
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's very hard to find. I mean,

44
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 4: in so many ways, we're just being priced out of everywhere.

45
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: It's very difficult for anybody to find a quality of life, lifestyle.

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 4: It's hard I think about, you know, I hear this

47
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: from so many people, and so many young people just

48
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: starting their careers and wanting to figure out, like, I

49
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 4: love this city.

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: I want to stay in this city, but I.

51
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: Got to live like six hours away to be able

52
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: to do anything.

53
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: So it's unfortunate. It's definitely unfortunate.

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: And I feel like this is such a great example

55
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: of what can come of affordable housing.

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: Well that's what I because I think you are actually

57
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: an advocate almost for it, because you said you it

58
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: was a building for artists, right.

59
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, really was specifically for artists, and I think my

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 4: mother explained that also that they had to have thirty

61
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 4: percent of people from that particular neighborhood or that currently

62
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: lived in the neighborhood as well, which is also important

63
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 4: because then people come from all over, but those in

64
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: the neighborhood don't get the same opportunity. So that's something

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 4: to think of it. We see that in Harlem, we

66
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: see that in Brooklyn. You know, so much of that

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: that regentrification.

68
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: So it's important because it's like, let's say, for instance,

69
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: you were not able to live in that building, right

70
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: and you had to grow up in Connecticut or some

71
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: other place. Right now, you never might not have become

72
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: who you became, and now you're actually contributing to the

73
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: economy of the city now, right, So now it's a

74
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: full circle moment fact you actually are somebody that had

75
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: benefited from that affordable housing situation. Because a lot of

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: times people don't have sympathy. They're like, if you can't

77
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: afford to live here, then don't move here. But it's

78
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: like if we take away if we take away to artists,

79
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: if we take away the creatives, if we take away

80
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: people that might not have the finances to pay four

81
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a month, then we actually are hurting the

82
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: whole ecosystem, right, And I think, like I said, you're

83
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: actually a perfect example of that because you're a native

84
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 2: child who actually not only became extremely successful, but now

85
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: you have a player on Broadway and now millions of

86
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: dollars being generated.

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 4: That's a fact that's such a huge point in being

88
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 4: able to being able to have that experience, being able

89
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: to grow up close to different creative cultural places, experiencing

90
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: different styles of art forms. You know, having that access

91
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 4: it does it changes it. It changes your experience, It

92
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: changes your relationship with it. It changes what you can

93
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 4: imagine for yourself as you could dream for yourself. I mean,

94
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 4: you know, growing up on tenth Avenue, it was always

95
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: it was so bleak, and it was so drastically different

96
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 4: from just walking out to Avenue is over three avenues

97
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 4: over that seventh or eighth which had that those Broadway

98
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: lights and the life and the you know, And so

99
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 4: I think that that's definitely a big thing that I

100
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 4: note a lot like the experience, the access, the opportunity

101
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: came from the access to seeing different possibilities. And so

102
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 4: I agree, I agree, we can't we can't box people

103
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 4: out of the learning of the education, the of the access.

104
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: Another thing Hell's Kitchen has done is we created a

105
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: fellowship program to bring the young people who normally wouldn't

106
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 4: be in the space of set design or costume design.

107
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 3: And all of these pieces are.

108
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: The director fellow, the choreography fellow from Camille Brown, Michael

109
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: grif who's one of the best directors you know ever

110
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: in the Broadway space, so people get to learn under

111
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 4: the greats Chris Diaz, the book writer. So it's really

112
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 4: part of what we're talking about is access. We're talking

113
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 4: about welcoming people into spaces where we belong and given

114
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 4: the opportunity to learn and so that we can diversify

115
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 4: what we're seeing and so we can contribute back to

116
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: the culture of the city. And I think that's exactly right,

117
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 4: and that's the only way it happens when you have

118
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 4: access like that.

119
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 5: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

120
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 5: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

121
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 5: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

122
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 5: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

123
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 5: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

124
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 5: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States

125
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 5: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

126
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 5: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

127
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 5: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

128
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 5: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

129
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 5: one thousand dollars a day. Imprisoned and deported, you will

130
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 5: never return. But if you register using our CEA MVP

131
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 5: home app and leave now, you could be allowed to

132
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 5: return legally. Do what's right.

133
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: Leave now.

134
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 5: Under President Trump America's laws, border and families will be protected.

135
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,040
