Right. There's 101 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 6: places in this community that are vibrant and thriving, and 102 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 6: there's a lot of other parts in the city that 103 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 6: have quite frankly been left behind. 104 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: Right. Yeah, Yeah, oh man, I'm really looking forward to 105 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: our discussion because, like as you were saying before we came, 106 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 3: you came on, you know, like when we have these 107 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: guests on to talk about a specific subject, I mean, 108 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: just the thermin Amendment just opens the door to so 109 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 3: many different conversations, whether it's about our car sol system, 110 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 3: whether it's about housing, how we view housing, and even 111 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 3: how America even does its threat assessments, and they typically 112 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: just end up being just overtly racist. And this is 113 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 3: no exception, There's no exception. 114 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: What is the attitude in Allentown towards the Billy Joel song. 115 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 6: One of ambivalents because it's a good song, right, So 116 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 6: it's kind of hard not to like the song. But 117 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 6: I think the city has really done a tremendous job 118 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 6: of reinventing itself, and so you know, there's a sense 119 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 6: that that song really doesn't represent the spirit in the 120 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 6: future of Allentown today. So there's a level of ambivalence. 121 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 6: But it's Jill Billy Joel, so you can't really, you know, 122 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 6: hate it too much. 123 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he said opens up, well we're living 124 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: here in Allentown, and you know, I mean that's those 125 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: are the only lyrics that I know. So I was 126 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: going to try and say something profound about it, but okay, 127 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: I can't remember any of the other parts. Something about 128 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: a factory town. 129 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 3: There, you remember what that song about? 130 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: Incisive commentary like, well, we're living here in Allentown is 131 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: a lyric in Allentown there? It is all right, great, Well, 132 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about housing in a moment, but 133 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: before we get into our expert get area of expertise, 134 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,559 Speaker 1: we do like to get to know you a little 135 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: bit better by asking what's either something from your search 136 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: history that's revealing about who you are or something that 137 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: you have recently screencapped short first screen captured that is 138 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: revealing about screen shot it even green shot a screen 139 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: shot it. 140 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, so my last screen shot was actually a list 141 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 6: of Republicans on the Financial Services Committee, so directly related 142 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 6: to this work on the the Therm and Amendment. As 143 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 6: I'm sure we're going to get into this is this 144 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 6: is going to be a big month because we have 145 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 6: legislation that's going to be introduced, but we're trying to 146 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 6: make it bipartisan, and so I'm doing a lot of 147 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 6: work trying to identify folks on the right who might 148 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 6: be interested in this common sense reform to extend opportunity. 149 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 4: How's it going? How are you feeling about that? 150 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: How you see any any names on there that you're 151 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: like they seem to exist in a version of reality. 152 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 7: Uh. 153 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 6: I tend to be an optimistic person. I always feel 154 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 6: like the thing with legislation is the key is to 155 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 6: actually get in front of these people. So for me, 156 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 6: the challenges how do you how do you look at 157 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 6: this list and how do you mine your network to 158 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 6: get in the door. Because you believe that if you 159 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 6: can just get in front of these people and explain 160 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 6: what you're trying to do, common sense will prevail and 161 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 6: you'll get through, right. 162 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: Is that do you think that's I mean, I guess 163 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 3: there's something with housing. How do you how do you 164 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 3: sort of tailor this argument to appeal to someone like 165 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 3: Ron Johnson who has dealt in all kinds of really 166 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 3: backwards thinking out loud when it comes to things like 167 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 3: the carcial system or race and things like that. Do 168 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 3: you have to is he actually be like, oh, that's 169 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: messed up, like people who just had a drug charge 170 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 3: can't get in the housing? Like yeah, I want to 171 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: do that? Or is it? Or like how do you 172 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 3: thread that needle? Because from my perspective, like what do 173 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 3: you tell Ron Johnson to try and get him to 174 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 3: see the light in terms of something like this is 175 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 3: common sense reform, like that there's no net negative here. 176 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 3: This is like about just like making things a little 177 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 3: bit more equitable. And they'll be like, what is that woke? 178 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm curious what sort of what's the what's 179 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: the dance with something like that? 180 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 6: Well, so I think first of all, you always have 181 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 6: to contextualize this in the framework of opportunity, right, because 182 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 6: in theory, everybody wants to extend opportunity to people in 183 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 6: this country in theory, and so it was really about legislation, 184 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 6: like the Thermin Amendment denies people have been justice impacted 185 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 6: the ability to be judged based on market measures and 186 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 6: assessments of risk. Right. So, the market has a way 187 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 6: of predicting or suggesting how reliable you're going to be 188 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 6: as a creditor. Right So it's your credit score, it's 189 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 6: it's your income history. There's a lot of different measures 190 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 6: that objectively, the market is signs to you to suggest 191 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 6: your risk profile. The Thermin Amendment nullifies all of that. 192 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 6: And so the case that I made was, Hey, give 193 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 6: these folks access to the free market and the free 194 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 6: market mechanisms of risk like everyone else. And you know, 195 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 6: and I made the analogy that I can literally go 196 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 6: to a bank right now and borrow a million dollars. 197 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 6: I can do that, but I could not secure a 198 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 6: townhome apartment because of my twenty five year old drug 199 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 6: distribution conviction. That just didn't seem to make a lot 200 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 6: of sense. Wow, oh, now does that translate to actual support? 201 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 6: I mean that's the right, right, I mean, anyone anyone 202 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 6: can sit across from you and say, yeah, that doesn't 203 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 6: make sense. But what you really need are folks who 204 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 6: are going to put some capital on the table and 205 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 6: help you affect this change. 206 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, abstraction is the root of the problems that are 207 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: happening where it's like easier to just make somebody a concept, 208 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: you know that's like on your screen or like a 209 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: you know, a number on a spreadsheet. And when you 210 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: actually get in a room with a person and they 211 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: have to deal with the fact that you know, you 212 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: are a human being, it at least for that time 213 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: can make a big change. But then after the fact, 214 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: as a matter of like getting them not to go 215 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: back to the comfortable thing of you know, a system 216 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: that seems to lend itself to just abstracting people and 217 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: treating people as like values on a spreadsheet. So yeah, 218 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: doing truly the difficult important work. What is something that 219 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: you think is underrated? 220 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 6: I would say, and primarily because I'm a father of 221 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 6: a fifteen year old, and I would say youth sports. 222 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 6: So she plays a lot of sports, takes up a 223 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 6: ton of my time, but it really just gives her 224 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 6: a great outlet to develop confidence, learn the priorities of discipline. 225 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 6: So I meet young people all the time who aren't 226 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 6: in organized sports for a variety of reasons, and I 227 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 6: just think we should do more of that. Like when 228 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 6: I was a kid, I mean, even though I wasn't 229 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 6: in organized sports leagues, like we would always just go 230 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 6: to the park and play pickup basketball or something like this. 231 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 6: And now, I mean, God, if I didn't force her 232 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 6: to play sports, she would be on her phone on 233 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 6: TikTok or something literally ungodly hours a day. So I'm 234 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 6: a big believer in youth sports. 235 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like how does cause I have very early experiences 236 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: with youth sports and it's hard to like maintain sanity 237 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: and maintain your distance from it. Like do you find 238 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: yourself just swallowing your tongue while you're at I think 239 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: your daughter plays tennis. 240 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 6: Tennis and basketball, and I would say, your kids are 241 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 6: gonna let you get away with voicing your opinion when 242 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 6: they're five and six or seven. Try that at our 243 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 6: high school back you won't be back there. So I 244 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 6: think you learn just as they get older, what they're 245 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 6: comfortable with. And at the end of the day, if 246 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 6: if they don't want to hear you, you know, yelling 247 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 6: your feedback, you're gonna have to find another way to 248 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 6: give it. 249 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 3: That is so wild because like, I can't remember half 250 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: of my teammates from like some of the organized sports 251 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: I played as a kid, but I remember the loudest 252 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: parents that were not my friends. I'm like, damn, bro, 253 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 3: mister Borna is going the fuck off again. And you're 254 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 3: like and you're like, you're like, yo, man, it's cool. 255 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 3: Your dad's so intense, and it's just like, no. 256 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: Bro, just like. 257 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 8: Does his look his look that he just gave I 258 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 8: swear I see that every basketball Yeah, your daughter in particular, No, no, No, 259 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 8: I've learned my lesson. 260 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 6: She will. Yeah, I have to be very deliberate in 261 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 6: what I'm doing. But there are some other parents that, oh, man, 262 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 6: these guys and it's typically the dad. Yeah, they're they're 263 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 6: all in and you're like, whoa, take it down a 264 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 6: little bit. 265 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, How do you deal with the screen side 266 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: of it, like the other side? You know, it sounds 267 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: like you're thinking of youth sports as like sort of 268 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: one weapon on the side of good against you know, 269 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: the screens just taking over. Like I heard in talking 270 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: to a parent this weekend, they were like, yeah, it 271 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: kind of feels messed up that like one of the 272 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: things that like you have as a parent is be like, 273 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: no iPad. Then if you're not going to do that, 274 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: no iPad, then we're gonna like basically we're going to 275 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: take your drugs away. 276 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: Right right right?

By far? The Stanley water bottles. That's just ridiculous. 293 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 6: So yeah, my daughter has a couple of them, which 294 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 6: I refuse to buy any of them. But it's sure 295 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 6: it's a I'm sure it's a high quality water bottle. Right, 296 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 6: I'm familiar with the company, but there's a whole bunch 297 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 6: of high quality water bottles that will keep your beverages 298 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 6: cold or keep them warm, and they don't have that 299 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 6: same price point. So I just think those things are 300 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 6: terribly overrated. 301 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like there were due for the backlash 302 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: where some other brand like kind of pops up. We've 303 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: talked about what's the od one, the o wala Yeah, 304 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: oh walla. Yeah, that one's pretty good, but doesn't seem 305 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,239 Speaker 1: like it's quite. 306 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 3: The straw built in. Yeah, it's just but I mean 307 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 3: it just shows you again like it was all because 308 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 3: of the marketing genius at Stanley, like they pressed it's 309 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: just all they just want full court press on influencers. 310 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 3: That's gonna completely inform the market of what's cool. And 311 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 3: when someone's like, yo, I got this limited edition one. 312 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 3: It's the Philippines exclusive color way of a fucking cup, 313 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 3: and people are like, ah, I'll pick five dollars for it. 314 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 3: On the on the secondary market, it's yeah, it becomes 315 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 3: this other thing. But yeah, I mean I feel like, 316 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: you know, maybe yeah, there's maybe there's a company that 317 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 3: comes in. It's like we got the two dollars cup, right, 318 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: everyone should be buying. But then it's like, but it 319 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 3: is made of lead, So we just be really clear 320 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 3: on that. Yeah, there's like lead in one of the 321 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: parts of it and that and I know that that 322 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 3: caused some people, especially in Los Angeles to clutch their 323 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 3: yoga blocks and be like, oh, okay, right. 324 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: Anymore stupid La and their soft hippie dippy ways. They're 325 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: not happy drinking water out of lead cups. 326 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 3: There's just a part of the cup you don't interact 327 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 3: with the part that has lead in it. Okay, that's 328 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 3: the thing that many of the Stanley the Stanley stands. 329 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: Plus it will help you if you're getting dental X rays. 330 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 331 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: True, it makes sense, like we needed something that could 332 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: appear with you in like a shot, you know, like 333 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: when you're like in a you know, shoes were the 334 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: thing that was the most kind of captured by the 335 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: influencer market for a long time. And then like, but 336 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: you can't have your shoes in like a selfie with 337 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: you unless you're really flexible.

It was eighty eight. And what's interesting about it 399 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 6: is I was in contact with his archives at Clemson University, 400 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 6: and so I said, Hey, I'm working on this legislation. 401 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 6: Can you send me anything you have about this particular amendment. 402 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 6: And you would think, you know, there'd be communications or 403 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 6: correspondence with trained associations or advocates or impacted people. Literally, 404 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 6: there was nothing, nothing in the archives except one piece 405 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 6: of paper, and it was his remarks that he delivered 406 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 6: after the passage of the nineteen eighty eight Fairhousing Amendments Act. 407 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 6: And in his written remarks, he anticipated this amendment failing 408 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 6: it literally says, and while my amendment did not pass, 409 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 6: blah blah blah. He actually crossed that out and in 410 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 6: handwritten he hand wrote, I'm glad my amendment passed and 411 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 6: blah blah, blah. So he didn't. I don't even think 412 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 6: he anticipated this passing. 413 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: Right, Wow, that is super. I had no idea that 414 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: because I know, like, oh wow, we're racist racist in 415 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: this country. Damn all right, guys, thank you. 416 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 3: Oh I don't even know. I'm gonna be real, man. 417 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 3: I'm used to going out there saying see that going 418 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 3: this way. Yeah, I used to say something so flagrant 419 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 3: They're like, strong, shut up, and then I'm like, oh okay, 420 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: but then they passed. Let me play the clip though, 421 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 3: from just him at the lectern, basically saying like this 422 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 3: is this is this is what I'm proposing, little strong therment. 423 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 7: One conviction is sufficient, my man. Was simple says that 424 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 7: one conviction is sufficient for landlord to refuse to rent 425 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 7: to a drug dealer. It's that simple always, my colleagues, 426 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 7: to vote for Amendment Faith is to do so makes 427 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 7: the rights of law abiding citizens meaningless. Drug dealers deserve 428 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 7: no federal protection. 429 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: And here we are voice brought to you straight from 430 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: the eighteen eighties, by the way. Oh yeah, just everything 431 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: about his voice and accent. I was like, is that 432 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: being played on a phonograph from like a retired Civil 433 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: War general. I'm pretty sure. 434 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: The suit he's wearing, if there was a pantone color 435 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 3: for it, it would be Confederate gray. How on point 436 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 3: it is. But you said, can you kind of break 437 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 3: down just sort of the nuance here, like what exactly 438 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 3: I mean, we've sort of touched upon it and some 439 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 3: people may know, but just kind of explain the Thermin 440 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 3: Amendment for people. 441 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, So, essentially, the Thermin Amendment means that if you 442 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 6: have a drug distribution conviction, and so that can be 443 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 6: for marijuana, it can be for any illegal substance, you 444 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 6: do not have fair housing protection. So a landlord can 445 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 6: or a seller for that matter, can look at your 446 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 6: application or your offer the purchase and if they find out, 447 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 6: whether through a background check or a Google search, that 448 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 6: you have a drug distribution conviction, again doesn't matter how 449 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 6: long ago it was, doesn't matter extenuating circumstances, they can 450 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 6: immediately summarily deny your application or refuse to sell you 451 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 6: their property, right right. 452 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 3: And like I know you said you're trying to see 453 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 3: any background. This is just like so strange because this 454 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 3: feels obviously this was the era where you know, the 455 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 3: federal government was finding all kinds of ways to incarce rate, 456 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 3: especially people of color during the crack epidemic and these 457 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 3: other various periods in the eighties, and this feels part 458 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 3: and parcel to it. But I'm like, is there no, 459 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 3: there was no like association of like concern landlords or 460 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 3: something that's like Senator Thurmont, I'm telling you, man, these 461 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 3: they're just setting up and they're serving the community in 462 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 3: a different way, not serving but serving the community. And 463 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 3: I just I can't have that in my in my 464 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 3: apartment building or whatever. It just came out of his 465 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 3: just brain. 466 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 6: Well. So, and this is really the infuriating piece of 467 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 6: this legislation for me is in the late eighties there 468 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 6: was literally a political strategy where Republicans would attach anti 469 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 6: drug legislation to completely you know, non relevant bills in 470 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 6: the hopes of getting Democrats to vote against it, and 471 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 6: then they would use on the campaign trail and so right, yeah, 472 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 6: so this was all just political bullshit, quite frankly, I mean, 473 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 6: And and that's what's caused me to dedicate the last 474 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 6: three years of my life to changing this legislation. Because 475 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 6: the fact that my family was denied access to housing, 476 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 6: that my daughter was denied access to the school, that 477 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 6: she wanted to attend because of bullshit racist political games. 478 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 6: Is just it's it's something that I can't sit by 479 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 6: and just let that impact other families and kids in 480 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 6: this country. 481 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, can you talk about your kind of first hand 482 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: run in with the Therma Amendment? 483 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, so, you know, I'm sure we'll get into my background. 484 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 6: But I've been a homeowner for many years. But I 485 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 6: relocated to Allentown to lead an education organization, and so 486 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 6: at the time, my daughter was a rising ninth grader. 487 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 6: So we're looking at school districts. I mentioned she's a 488 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 6: tennis player, so we wanted a school that both had 489 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 6: good academics and a strong tennis program. We identified a community, 490 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 6: found a town home, and said, Okay, we'll rent this. 491 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 6: At no point did I even imagine that my application 492 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 6: could be denied, right, just because I mean, I haven't 493 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 6: had any justice involvement in twenty five years. Hell, what 494 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 6: I did at eighteen tells you nothing about who I 495 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 6: am as a middle aged bother. Like, it's just it's 496 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 6: not really relevant. 497 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 3: They should they shouldn't rent anything to anyone based on 498 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 3: who they were at eighteen. If that's if that's a standard, 499 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 3: then nobody have anything. 500 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, well especially if you're forty, you know, plus years old. 501 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 6: So yeah, So I get this call and the woman 502 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 6: is like, you know, mister Dowe.

Will send you the letter. And they 511 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 6: basically gave me a number from Boston to call about 512 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 6: my denial in Allentown, Pennsylvania. And as you can imagine, 513 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 6: you know, after wasting a half hour on the phone, 514 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 6: I just gave up. I had to find somewhere else 515 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 6: to live. And because I had not anticipated being denied 516 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 6: access to that apartment, now, we had to scramble, right 517 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 6: because I'm committed to leading this organization, and we ended 518 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 6: up ended up securing a housing unit in a school 519 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 6: district that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has designated his failing. 520 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 6: And so the thought that this guy who quite frankly, 521 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,479 Speaker 6: you know, we know he was racist, We know he 522 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 6: was a segregationist, we know he exploited vulnerable people for 523 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 6: his own personal political gain. The fact that this motherfucker 524 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 6: to this day was limiting opportunities for children like my own, 525 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 6: that it's still just talking about it just stiffens my 526 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 6: result to make sure this legislation is done once and 527 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 6: for all. 528 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, the question that occurred to me is like why 529 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: it seems specific that they're focusing on drug convictions, Like 530 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: there's not an equivalent amendment for other like more serious crimes, right, 531 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: Like there's not strong thermon didn't say murder or domestic 532 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: abusers or you know, which is something we know as 533 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: Americans because of you know, the epidemic of gun crime, 534 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: like domestic abuse is a predictor of future violence, whereas 535 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: drug distribution convictions don't have long term predictive value as 536 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: to whether renters would commit a violent crime in the 537 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: future or be bad tenants. That's according to Noel Porter, 538 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: director of government affairs for the National Housing Law Project. 539 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 6: So woman, by the way, So Noel, if you Noel 540 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 6: is a rock star, so I just have to give 541 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 6: her a shout out. 542 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: But it seems like the reason behind this is that 543 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: they are like significantly racially biased, right, the arrests for 544 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: drug distribution, Like in Wisconsin where you are from, black 545 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: people make up six percent of the population and fifty 546 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: three percent of drug convictions. 547 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, the disparities are outrageous. And think about this through 548 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 6: this mental exercise. You know, you're eighteen years old, you 549 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 6: get caught with an ounce of pot, you know, back 550 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,479 Speaker 6: in you know, when I was nineteen ninety seven. Is 551 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 6: that distribution or is that possession? 552 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, exactly, Yeah, the amounts that were. 553 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 6: It's really quite frankly, going to depend on how good 554 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 6: is your lawyer, how well connected are you? Right, Because 555 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 6: it's truly this gray and fuzzy line. And so if 556 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 6: you're poor, you're likely to have been charged with a distribution. 557 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 6: If you have resources, that was likely reduced down to 558 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 6: a simple possession charge. And that difference, right, that subjectivity 559 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 6: is the difference between losing your fair housing protections for 560 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 6: the rest of your natural life. It's just crazy. 561 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 1: Whereas like with murder, they can't they don't they they 562 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: can't go easy on white murderers. 563 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 3: A murderer could like in this adicts couldn't have murdered 564 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 3: be like I'm taking you to court. You can't keep 565 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 3: me out of this place because I'm a murder you know. 566 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 6: That's that's exact. Had had my conviction been for murder, 567 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 6: I could have sued that housing developer for refusing to 568 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 6: rent to me and my family. 569 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 3: Yea, that you had there was technically some kind of 570 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 3: legal recourse or this was like I'm sorry, it's not 571 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 3: a protected category, so you have no protections here under 572 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 3: the law, so you may have to go to where 573 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 3: they are willing to rent to people like you. Which 574 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 3: again this brings back this whole idea of redlining and 575 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 3: segregation and like you know, I meant like we're talking 576 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 3: about strom Thurman, like this guy did. He betted all 577 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty four to try and stop like the 578 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,479 Speaker 3: civil rights like he did philipbustered. He really tried, and 579 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 3: that you know, the precipitated his switch to switching parties 580 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 3: because of that and because he was so dedicated to 581 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 3: creating this like overtly segregated America. But with these kinds 582 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 3: of like with this amendment, it feels like kind of 583 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 3: heat like that he won. You know what I mean 584 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 3: by framing this this rule around drug dealers was just 585 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 3: coded language, just very obviously coded language. He found like 586 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 3: a somewhat nuanced way to keep the people out of 587 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 3: the places he feels they shouldn't be to begin with. 588 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 3: And we talk a lot about on the show about how, 589 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 3: you know, chattle slavery has always found a way to 590 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 3: morph into these other oppressive systems, and they all there's 591 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 3: there's always some form of control that can be exercised 592 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 3: over oppressed groups, especially people of color in this country. 593 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 3: And you know, with people getting kept out of affordable 594 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 3: housing because of a prior charge, they've they've created a 595 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 3: system that traps people not necessarily physically but in a 596 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 3: way physically because you're limited to where you can live, 597 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 3: but by excluding them from the things that allow people 598 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 3: to improve their situation, like building credit or these other things. 599 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 3: Can you kind of talk to me about how like 600 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 3: like how this how you get stuck like sort of 601 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 3: how this very specific form of redlining or segregation keeps 602 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 3: people stuck like the the like at that point, it's like, 603 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but your your chances of upward mobility are 604 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 3: pretty much gone or very very much diminished. 605 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 6: Well, community matters, right, context matters. We know that in 606 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 6: so you know, take an example of you find an apartment, 607 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 6: you've been living there safe for five years. Well, if 608 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 6: you've lived anywhere for the last five years, your rent 609 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 6: has probably went from twelve hundred to two thousand dollars 610 00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,959 Speaker 6: over the last five years. I don't care where you live. 611 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 6: So if your and of course your income hasn't matched 612 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 6: that increase, and so one way you would try to 613 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 6: manage that is you'd move to a less expensive rental unit. Well, 614 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 6: if where you can live is limited, oftentimes you're stuck. 615 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 6: You don't have the option to try to find a 616 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 6: different rental unit that would maybe cost less. And so 617 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 6: that means because you're paying this exorbit rent to your 618 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 6: point you can't maybe stay on top of some of 619 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 6: your other bills, you can increase your credit score and 620 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 6: ultimately put yourself in a position to purchase a property. 621 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 6: Or in a case like mine, I had to send 622 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 6: my daughter to a private school, so our family had 623 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 6: to make sacrifices. I had to refrain from contributing to 624 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 6: my retirement account and put a god awful expensive private 625 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,239 Speaker 6: school bill, but I had no choice, right, and so 626 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 6: on so many levels. If you don't have the ability 627 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 6: to choose where you live based on market values and 628 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 6: measures of risk, but instead just someone's perceived risk of 629 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 6: who you are because of a past conviction, you're just 630 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 6: not going to be able to access to communities that 631 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 6: are going to best help you. Ribe in a broader context. 632 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: You know, Miles mentioned the ways that chattel slavery kind 633 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: of morphs into different institutions in the modern world, and 634 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: you know, we've specifically talked a lot about it morphing 635 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: into you know, the carceral human caging system. I just 636 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: want to because you know you're being targeted. You know, 637 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: in the recent past, you spent time in prison and 638 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: got out and like really rebuilt your life in a 639 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: way that feels like, you know, the odds were stacked 640 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: against you so much, and that like just I think 641 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: having a better idea of like what you were able 642 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: to do helped helps just like kind of really drive 643 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: home how this specific amendment is a total fuck you 644 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: to people and just like complete, wildly unjust. But can 645 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 1: you talk about just like how you built yourself coming 646 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 1: out of prison. 647 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I've been incredibly fortunate even when I 648 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 6: was behind bars. Actually, my journey to a better life 649 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 6: started behind bars. I had this chance encounter with a 650 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 6: guy who was in the Wisconsin prison system for defrauding 651 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 6: the Kohlder Corporation. And so you should never defraud anyone, 652 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 6: but you sure the hell don't want to defraud a 653 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 6: company that has a town named after it. So you know, 654 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 6: this guy brilliant, you know, master's degree in engineering from 655 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 6: the Northeast. So he's into a Wisconsin prison system with me, 656 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 6: and he taught me how to program computers. And so 657 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 6: when I came home, was very fortunate, you know, was 658 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 6: able to work my way into some development roles and 659 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,760 Speaker 6: Fortune five hundred companies. You know, I've worked on three continents. 660 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 6: I've built software in India, in Africa. I had a 661 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 6: fellowship from Google. I served as president of Wisconsin's largest 662 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 6: trade association. I had a full scholarship to Princeton University 663 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 6: for graduate school. You don't just really have been incredibly 664 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 6: fortunate and have done so many things that tells you 665 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 6: who I am today. All of those things I just 666 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 6: noted tell you more about me today than my conviction 667 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 6: from when I was eighteen years old. 668 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 3: Yeah sure, yeah, sure, right, And because your story is 669 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 3: far from the norm, it's you know, like quite an 670 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 3: exceptional case, like that is not the norm for people 671 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 3: re entering after being incarcerated, Like and if it's that 672 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 3: difficult for you, that's exactly right, someone who can point 673 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 3: to all these bona fides like I've been educated in 674 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,240 Speaker 3: the IVY League, I've been working like very consistent jobs, 675 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 3: I've been successful, that the chances for anyone else who 676 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 3: go back to reduced opportunity, lack of opportunity and don't 677 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 3: have that kind of upper mobility, then it truly just 678 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 3: does become this thing like, well, now you're back in 679 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 3: the neighborhood where you were doing dirt and your only 680 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 3: options are to do dirt. And I think there's also 681 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 3: like even when we look at when we have these conversations, 682 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 3: we still don't we're still not able to look at 683 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 3: things like drug dealing as as a form of like 684 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 3: lack of financial recourse for people like no one is 685 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 3: dealing drugs because they're like, you know what, I always 686 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 3: wanted to deal drugs, you know what I mean, like 687 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 3: just something I wanted to do. 688 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: I had the offer from Google. And also. 689 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 3: I was like, no, man, the block needs me. I 690 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 3: wanted to be one of them boys, you know what 691 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 3: I mean, that one of these Google people. But you know, 692 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 3: like that, we don't actually we never look at sort 693 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 3: of things like survival crime too in a certain context 694 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 3: and be able to extend empathy in those situations. Obviously 695 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 3: violent crime can be a completely different thing. But when 696 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 3: you look at things like this, like most people, especially 697 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 3: people who have dabbled in it, they have very similar 698 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 3: stories of my back was to a wall. If I 699 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 3: just move this thing from point A to point B, 700 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 3: or I let somebody stat something at my house and 701 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 3: then I somehow a bust happened and it completely ruined 702 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 3: my life. That these people aren't coming at it from 703 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 3: being wanting having some kind of like sociopathic desire to 704 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 3: to break the law. 705 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 6: That's a great point. That's that's that's a great point. 706 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 6: And all of that nuance is missed, right, That's that's 707 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 6: that's the most frustrating piece of this. And you know 708 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 6: what keeps me motivated every day is because this has 709 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 6: been a slog. I mean, changing federal legislation is a slog, right, 710 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 6: And what keeps me motivated is that there are literally 711 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 6: tens of thousands of people right now in this country 712 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 6: who were in my situation but didn't have an alternative 713 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 6: option for their family, right. You know that that's just wrong, 714 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 6: and that's honestly what keeps me motivated every day to 715 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 6: get this over the finish line. 716 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well we should take one more break 717 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: and we'll come back, and we're back, and so, you know, 718 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: this is one way that I feel like redlining is 719 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: still kind of that it's like a neo redlining that's 720 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: still happening today. We've talked, like there's been reporting in 721 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,959 Speaker 1: the past decades about you know, real estate agents sort 722 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: of being an informal barrier to you know, black families 723 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: moving into certain parts of towns, engaging informally and discriminatory practices. 724 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: But what have you seen how what are the other 725 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: ways that you see kind of of redlining still upheld 726 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,760 Speaker 1: even though it's technically illegal. 727 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a that's a great question. And I have 728 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,760 Speaker 6: a buddy who's very supportive of this work that I'm doing. 729 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 6: But he he leads the National Association of Real Estate 730 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 6: Brokers and it's basically like the trade association for Black realtors, 731 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 6: and he leads the Milwaukee chapter, and you know, I 732 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 6: was talking to him about this work guy I'm doing, 733 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 6: and he said, you know, I remember when I got 734 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 6: out of prison. How you know I would have to 735 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 6: pay extra fees if I wanted to rent an apartment 736 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 6: solely because of a past conviction. And that was one 737 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 6: way to kind of it was a barrier for him 738 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 6: because he'd have to put up like two times the 739 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 6: security deposit, and he didn't have that type of money, 740 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 6: so that particular apartment wouldn't be available to him. Or 741 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 6: you know, he submitted an offer when he became a 742 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 6: real estate investor. You know, he submitted an offer to 743 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 6: a you know, well to do area, and with everyone's 744 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,720 Speaker 6: information public and online, you know, he noticed several times 745 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,720 Speaker 6: he just did not get a response from the seller 746 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,720 Speaker 6: about his offer, and two weeks later there's an accepted 747 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 6: offer on the property. So I mean, it's it's an 748 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 6: unnecessary tool that lends itself to abuse, either by people 749 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 6: who really have ill intentions or just people who are 750 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 6: who are clueless and honestly are unwittingly perpetuating you know, 751 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 6: these very systemic disadvantage that disadvantages that we've been talking about. 752 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 3: What's kind of been the biggest hurdle in terms of 753 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 3: because I know, like you know, I've worked in politics, 754 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,320 Speaker 3: and on the state level, there's things like ballot initiatives 755 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 3: you can do to try and change laws and regulations 756 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 3: and things like that, but like doing it on a 757 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 3: federal level, what's been I mean, aside from trying to 758 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,760 Speaker 3: do away with something that has been like the cause 759 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 3: of so much pain for people but is seen as 760 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 3: a norm, what's kind of been like the hardest sort 761 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 3: of well, the hardest part about the process in terms 762 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 3: of trying to get people to understand like this isn't 763 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 3: necessary and there's something actually need to move past because 764 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 3: it's causing soone's damage. 765 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I think it's just getting visibility on this issue. 766 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 6: And that's why I'm so appreciative of you guys for 767 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 6: highlighting this issue on your platform, because here's the reality. 768 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 6: You'll never convince me that if the general public was 769 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 6: aware that current housing policy in this country, at least 770 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 6: part of it is being directed by someone like strom 771 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 6: Thurman and these are the outcomes of this housing policy, 772 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 6: that folks would just. 773 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,760 Speaker 3: Be like, yeah, that makes sense, let's. 774 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 6: Keep that in place, right, we're good here, exactly no 775 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 6: reason to reform that. And so it's really this has 776 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 6: been going on for almost forty years because of who 777 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 6: it is impacts, right, it impacts the most vulnerable people, 778 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 6: and you said it yourself. My experience is an outlier. 779 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 6: And so they just happen to, quite frankly, do it 780 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 6: to the wrong person who's prepared to go all in 781 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 6: on this shit and do whatever it takes to change 782 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 6: this legislation. But if for the average person who can 783 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 6: invest this type of time and resources to do this stuff, 784 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 6: and so's it just becomes the status quo. And so 785 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 6: the biggest challenge has been raising the visibility of this 786 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 6: issue so that folks understand why they can care. Because 787 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 6: I guarantee you the folks who are listening to this 788 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 6: right now, they're not going to be for it. And 789 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 6: so I encourage them to reach out to me and 790 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 6: figure out how can they support this effort to get 791 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 6: their legislators to do something and repeal this useless amendment. 792 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 3: No, yeah, I think I think a lot of listeners 793 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 3: are probably definitely sympathetic towards that, no doubt and use 794 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,319 Speaker 3: of what would you say, you know, just to for 795 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 3: something for people to keep in mind when they hear 796 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 3: about because I think, like you know, when people hear 797 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 3: about someone who is in prison is going to move 798 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 3: in you know, right, we have this sort of like 799 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,760 Speaker 3: sort of inbuilt response that because I like you. Sadly, 800 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 3: even though we pretend our carcial system is about like 801 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 3: rehabilitation or anything, it really isn't. It's just it's like 802 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 3: a revolving door. What do you think? What what are 803 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,359 Speaker 3: sort of the obstacles that you challenge people to sort 804 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 3: of challenge their own thinking when think like when being 805 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 3: confronted in a situation like this, or someone says, oh, 806 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,800 Speaker 3: I couldn't rent to this person they were a drug dealer, 807 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,839 Speaker 3: and then they say, oh, well, good good, that's that's good. 808 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 3: You good good, you stopped that from happening. What sort 809 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 3: of the shift that you feel people need to make 810 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 3: and able to sort of look at the world with 811 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,799 Speaker 3: a bit of a more equitable lens in this in 812 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 3: this context. 813 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 6: Well, someone who would say something like that, I don't 814 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 6: know what the hell I would say to that person, 815 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 6: but but I would say that, look, this criminal legal 816 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 6: system has grown exponentially, and so it's hard to find 817 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 6: somebody who doesn't have some type of tangential connection to 818 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 6: the system. And I think that's you know, as people 819 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,439 Speaker 6: have that connection, I think they develop the empathy. You'll 820 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,480 Speaker 6: never convince me you have to enforce the Thermin Amendment 821 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 6: to make money. That's bullshit. And I'll call it as 822 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 6: it is because I know that's not true. And so 823 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 6: I mean, folks have to just because you can do it. 824 00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,280 Speaker 6: I mean, this is the problem. This is exactly what happens. 825 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 6: You're a landlord. You go to your attorney and say, hey, look, 826 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,360 Speaker 6: I need to develop my screen screening criteria and I 827 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 6: don't want to run a foul of the Fair Housing Act, 828 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 6: right that. This is what happens. Your attorney is going 829 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 6: to do their job and they're going to say, Okay, 830 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 6: you can legally do these things.
