1 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: One of the things I talk at China about is 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: the nuclearization of weapons that we'd like to see if 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: we could step that. I've spoken to China about that, 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: I've spoken to Russia about that, and I think it 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: would be something that we would want to do and 6 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: they would like to do, and I think Russia would. 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 2: Like Today said they don't want you to start for 8 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 2: the follow. 9 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: Well, that's what I tell you, But you know what 10 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: they tell you is different than what. 11 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 3: You're listening to.

Well, 62 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 4: I wish I could tell you it's gotten better, but 63 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 4: it isn't at all. It's actually gotten even worse. In 64 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 4: what we're finding out about how much money the Somali 65 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 4: community is take from all of us. How bad is it? 66 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 4: Nearly every Somali household with children is on welfare. That's right. 67 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 4: New data is showing that more than eight in ten 68 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 4: households headed by Somali refugees in the state of Minnesota 69 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 4: are on one or more forms of American taxpayer funded welfare. 70 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 4: This new data, published by the Center for Immigration Studies 71 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 4: is revealing this shocking news. Now. The data is actually 72 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 4: based on ten years a decade of data from the 73 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 4: Census Bureau's American Community Survey, known as the ACS, and 74 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 4: it shows drastic disparities between native born American households and 75 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 4: Somali born households in Minnesota, where nearly eighty thousand residents 76 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 4: have Somali ancestry compared to zero who had Somali ancestry 77 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 4: in Nai nineteen ninety. In particular, the data shows that 78 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 4: eighty one percent of Minnesota households headed by Somali refugees 79 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 4: are on one or more form of welfare, including twenty 80 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 4: seven percent who are on cash welfare, fifty four percent 81 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 4: who are on food stamps, and seventy three percent who 82 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 4: are on medicaid. Now, many are on multiple forms of 83 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 4: government aid welfare. Now you compare this massive welfare to 84 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 4: Native born Americans residing in Minnesota, the numbers are completely 85 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 4: and staggeringly different, only twenty one percent of whom are 86 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 4: on one or more form of welfare. When it comes 87 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 4: to American Native born, including just six percent who are 88 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 4: on cash welfare, seven percent who are on food stamps, 89 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 4: teen percent who are on medicaid. Now, let me just 90 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 4: go back through these numbers and compare them. Of Native 91 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 4: born Americans residing Minnesota, just six percent are on cash welfare, 92 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 4: Somali refugees in Minnesota twenty seven percent on cash welfare, 93 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 4: and just seven percent of Native born Americans residing Minnesota 94 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 4: are on food stamps. Again, I go back and really 95 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 4: think about these numbers in your head. Of the Somali 96 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 4: refugees in Minnesota, fifty four percent of them are on 97 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 4: food stamps. And if you look at medicaid, of Native 98 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 4: born Americans residing Minnesota, eighteen percent are on Medicaid. Seventy 99 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 4: three percent of Somali refugees are on medicaid. That is 100 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 4: an insane number, a number that should scare everyone because 101 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 4: it's unsustainable. Now, welfare use goes even higher, by the way, 102 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 4: for Somali households with children that are in the home, 103 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 4: the ACS data find. So that was just in general numbers, right, 104 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 4: like a grown woman or a grown man. Now if 105 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 4: you look at households with a child in it, the 106 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 4: numbers skyrocket even more. Eighty nine percent of Somali headed 107 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 4: households with children in Minnesota are on one or more 108 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 4: forms of welfare. Eighty six percent of these households with 109 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 4: children that are Somali headed eighty six percent on medicaid, 110 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 4: and this number is the most damming. About sixty two 111 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 4: percent of Somali households with children in the state are 112 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 4: on food stamps and twenty three percent take cash welfare. Now, 113 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 4: most of these families are on at least two forms 114 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: of government aid, some have three even four. Quote nearly 115 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 4: every Somali household with children receive some form of welfare. 116 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 4: That is what the CIS researcher Jason which Wine said 117 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 4: in this report. The gap between Somali households with children 118 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 4: on welfare and Native born Americans that with children on 119 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 4: welfare is wide. Only about three and ten Minnesota households 120 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: with children take one or more forms of welfare, all right, 121 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 4: So thirty percent only six percent on cash welfare if 122 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 4: you're a Native born, ten percent in Minnesota Native born 123 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 4: on food stamps, and twenty eight percent on medicaid. Eighty 124 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 4: nine percent of Somali headed households with children Minnesota are 125 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 4: on one or more forms of welfare. This goes back 126 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 4: to what President Donald Trump talked about a couple of 127 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 4: days ago. Why on earth would we continue to bring 128 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 4: people into this country that we are having to take 129 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 4: care of indefinitely, that are costing us countless dollars when 130 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 4: we have plenty of Americans that need help. First, we 131 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 4: have countless felling schools, we have living in poverty. We 132 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 4: still have a homeless crisis where our men and women 133 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 4: that fought to protect and serve this country. So why 134 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 4: would we bring in Somali's where we know that eighty 135 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 4: nine percent of them, if they have children, we're going 136 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 4: to have to pay for their life. Where eighty six 137 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 4: percent of them are going to be on medicaid, Where 138 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 4: sixty two percent of them are on food stamps and 139 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 4: where twenty three percent takes cash, welfare and maybe even more. 140 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 4: These numbers aren't even close to the native born numbers. Now, disparities, 141 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 4: by the way, between Native born Americans and Somali refugees 142 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 4: in Minnesota goes deeper than welfare use. The data also 143 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 4: shows Somali refugees that are in or near poverty in 144 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 4: Minnesota surpasses sixty six percent, while fewer than two and 145 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 4: ten Native born Minnesotas live in or near the poverty line. 146 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 4: So almost seven out of every ten Somali refugees are 147 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 4: living in near the poverty line. That number is crazy. 148 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 4: But let's talk about are they at least trying to 149 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 4: become Americans? Are they trying to assimilate? Are they trying 150 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 4: to become a part of this country? The refugees that 151 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 4: have come over from Somalia. All right, here's some more 152 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 4: data for you. Just zero point seven percent of Native 153 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 4: born Americans in Minnesota speak English less than very well. 154 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 4: Almost sixty percent of Smali refugees say they don't speak 155 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 4: any English very well, including nearly half of Somali refugees 156 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 4: who have lived in Minnesota for more than a decade. 157 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 4: Samali refugees in Minnesota also tend to be vastly less 158 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 4: educated than their Minnesota and counterparts.

And if 185 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 4: you are an American that wants to own a home, 186 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 4: it's harder now than it's been in my lifetime. There 187 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 4: is a lack of affordability and home prices have gotten 188 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 4: incredibly high, making those forty and under in essence, renters, 189 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 4: not home owners. The Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott 190 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 4: Turner slammed the Biden administration for what he called an 191 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 4: illegal immigration and refugee crisis that has rattled the housing market, 192 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 4: particularly for low income renters. There is more shocking details 193 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 4: that he explained on Fox News Channel, and I want 194 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,119 Speaker 4: you to hear what he had to say to Kaylee Mcananny. 195 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 5: I'm joined now by Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner. 196 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 5: Secretary Turner, you know, it was interesting I was watching 197 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 5: some of your interviews this week and you actually linked 198 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 5: a legal immigration to part of the reason we have 199 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 5: a housing crisis. 200 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 2: Well, good morning, Kley it's always great to be with you. 201 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 2: And yes, during the Biden administration, the immigration policies crippled 202 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 2: our nation over twelve million illegal immigrants. So illegal aliens 203 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 2: came across our border, really stifling our housing affordability and 204 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 2: supply issue in our country. And when you have this 205 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: many illegal aliens coming over taking homes that are supposed 206 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: to be for the American people, affordability is are automatically 207 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: going to go up. Kayley, here's an interesting stat for you. 208 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 2: Fifty nine percent of illegal alien families use one or 209 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: more welfare programs in America, costing US about forty two 210 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 2: billion dollars a year. And so we have to get 211 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 2: the immigration policy in order, which President Trump has done 212 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: and others in the administration. But yes, illegal immigration has 213 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: definitely stifled housing affordability and supply. 214 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 5: One of the things that I think is really fantastic 215 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 5: about the Trump administration is you're always coming up with 216 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 5: new ideas, whether it be tariff dividends, the healthcare payments, 217 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 5: and in your case you're in housing, We've heard about 218 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 5: this idea of a portable mortgage, perhaps a fifty year mortgage, 219 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 5: and that we could debate the efficacy of all these ideas, 220 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 5: but you're coming up with solutions. Tell us about some 221 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 5: of those conversations. Do you all get in a room 222 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 5: and just plan and think, how can we help the 223 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 5: American people? Here's some new ideas. 224 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: Yes, Calyn, you know all too well, having us served 225 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: so faithfully in the first administration that President Trump not 226 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: only as a strategist, but he executes on ideas. And 227 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,239 Speaker 2: so right now there's many ideas, a myriad of ideas 228 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: on the table as it pertains a housing affordability and 229 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: helping first time home buyers in America. I hear it, 230 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 2: You hear it, gen Z, Millennials and others, and how 231 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: we're going to be able to afford a home. And 232 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 2: so not only do we understand it, but you have 233 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: people leadership in this country getting together, getting stakeholders together, 234 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: industry experts to see what is the best feasible and 235 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: appropriate path that we can take to open up a 236 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: build and in our country. And I will say, in 237 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: addition to that, Kayley, the regulatory environment is burden some 238 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: in our country, and so at HUD we've taken down 239 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: burdened some regulations affirmatively further in fair housing, which made 240 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: HUD and National Zoning Board, restoring local control back to 241 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: the cities, back to the states, back to the localities. 242 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 2: And we're encouraging every locality take inventory of your regulatory 243 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: environment to see how you can unleash building and development 244 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 2: in USA community. And so these ideas taking down the 245 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 2: regulatory environment, public private partnerships are all part of the plan. 246 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 4: I go back to one of the things that Turner 247 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 4: said there the quote unchecked legal immigration and open borders 248 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 4: policies allowed by the Biden administration continue to put significant 249 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 4: strengd on housing pricing out American families. These policies that 250 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 4: plagued Americans housing market. But in Trump's presidency, Americans finally 251 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 4: have a leader fighting to restore the Senate for American 252 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 4: immigration policy. You look at this report and Hudd's twenty 253 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 4: twenty five report also found that increased immigration has driven 254 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 4: up the price you're paying for a house and that 255 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 4: unrestricted nature of the influx has both strained the housing market. 256 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 4: And this is from the report Priced Out Many American Families. 257 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 4: Report found that an estimated fifteen million illegal immigrants constant 258 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 4: thirty percent of all foreign born residents now. Turner also 259 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 4: added that Hudd took away federal housing Authority back mortgages 260 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 4: from illegal immigrants offered during the Biden administration, saying the 261 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 4: former president turned a blind eye of the issue. So 262 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 4: you were literally like our government was giving out the 263 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 4: loans and backing the loans of illegal immigrants. Now in California, 264 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 4: right sanctuary state. New York a sanctuary state as well, immigrants, 265 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 4: they now say this report of accountant for one hundred 266 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 4: percent of all rental growth and over one half of 267 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 4: all growth in owner occupied housing in recent years. So 268 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 4: if you're trying to find affordable housing in California or 269 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 4: New York as a state, good luck, because immigrants have 270 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 4: accounting for one hundred percent of all rental growth and 271 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 4: over one half of all growth in the owner occupied 272 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 4: housing in recent years. Nationally, there's also a major concern 273 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 4: the foreign born population now accounts for more than sixty 274 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 4: percent of the growth in rental demand. Nationwide, the foreign 275 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 4: born population accounted for two thirds of renal demand growth. 276 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 4: Hudds report also says that if we don't stop this, 277 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 4: they're going to have Americans that literally cannot afford to 278 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 4: live in America, is what the synopsis is. Because there 279 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 4: is such a competitive marketplace for renal properties, and you 280 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 4: can't afford to buy a home, so what is your option. 281 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 4: That's something that every American should be thinking about, and 282 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 4: it's exactly why, by the way, the President of the 283 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 4: United States America is taking this subject on saying we 284 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 4: have to stop it now. 285 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 286 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 3: with Ben Ferguson.
