33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: What that leads me to my next question. I'm not

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: sure if you're ready to answered it or not, but

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: I was going to ask about student loan and what

36
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: the administration has done for Obviously, there's million of Americans

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: that once again are suffocated was doing long debt and

38
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: it's really crippled their lives.

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: So you know, I'll tell you we went bolder with

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: our plan and for student loan debt relief, and then

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: the court cut some of the stuff that we were doing,

42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: but we have not stopped, and so we are through

43
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: whatever and all of the powers that we have, through

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: the executive orders and things of that nature, been forgiving

45
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: again up to one hundred and fifty billion dollars of

46
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: student loan debt. What I have seen in my travels

47
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 1: around what this means for the people who have applied

48
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: and figured it out, it's extraordinary. I mean, I've met

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: people who have been forgiven you know, three digit thousands

50
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: of dollars of debt. I've met teachers who've been teaching

51
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: for twenty something years carrying that debt and not giving

52
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: up the profession of teaching is but we don't pay

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: them enough as it is, and you know, and so

54
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: thinking about that, and let's think about you know, there

55
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: were those who resisted the policy from the beginning and said, well,

56
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: why do they need they should pay off their loans,

57
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: why do they need it forgiven? Well, let's go back

58
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: to the example of public servants, nurses, firefighters, teachers. Yes,

59
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: we don't pay them enough, and do we People who

60
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: have a calling, for example, teach other people's children, who

61
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: pay for school supplies out of their own back pocket,

62
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 1: and the benefit they give to all of us as

63
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: a society. Should we not think about that? And think

64
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: about the fact that we want them to stay in

65
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: that noble profession. I think about the number of young

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: people who have a calling to do that kind of work,

67
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: similar kind of work, who have to go to some

68
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: other kind of job because they need to pay off

69
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: their loans. When we want that people would be able

70
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: to follow their passion, especially when it benefits all of

71
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: us in the Uplift society. So the reasons behind the

72
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: policy include just that. And again, let's just let people

73
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: know that they don't have to have graduated in order

74
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: to get their debt forgiven, especially if that might mean

75
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: that if they want to go back to school, they

76
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: can go back and know that they can afford to

77
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: go back.

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: Well, this is coming from a teacher, I say, educator.

79
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 3: Now turn entrepreneur.

80
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree with you more. Pay our teachers first,

81
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: I just want to thank you for this. This has

82
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: been an amazing opportunity. But we do have entrepreneurs here

83
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: in the building. Where our entrepreneurs are there.

84
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: They gore, oh, big Dave cheeseteaks that Isaac Hayes in

85
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: the back South Isaac, he can't sink as good as

86
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 3: his dad. Though, No, no.

87
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: We wouldn't want them to either what piece of advice

88
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: would you like to leave this audience? Like I said,

89
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: this is Atlanta is such a hope of innovation for

90
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: many businesses. But what would you like to leave this

91
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 2: audience with in terms of advice for entrepreneurship.

92
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: That you are worthy of and entitled to receive an

93
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: investment in your dream and your ambition, and to seek

94
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: out the resources that exist. And we're trying to make

95
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: it easier for you to find those resources, but seek

96
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: them out and know, you know, it's interesting, there's some

97
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: studies that show that black entrepreneurs are often less likely

98
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: than others to actually apply for a loan for fear

99
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: they will be rejected. That is pretty significant data that

100
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: supports that point. So part of my advice is go

101
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: for it, apply for it, and and and all, and

102
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: get the word out right. We don't we don't lack

103
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: for really incredible vision and and and and entrepreneurial creative thought.

104
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: And so it's just a matter of like, let's not

105
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: let society or history impede or silence those ambitions. And

106
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: then I would urge everyone to know, for example, community

107
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: lenders and to seek them out. I was just earlier

108
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: at Rice and what's happening there in terms of helping

109
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: young entrepreneurs get ready and then have access. I'm at

110
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: this young brother, he's now he's now going he's got

111
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: a water company and it is now going to be

112
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: selling at Walmart. Right, And so there are institutions and

113
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: places that are available to you, groups that are available

114
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: mentors here, I would say to the entrepreneurs are here,

115
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: make sure you talk to the person that sit next

116
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: to you, because they may just be that person who

117
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: is willing to mentor you or willing to give you

118
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: some advice about how they achieve their success. But don't

119
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: give up because we need you, Our country needs you,

120
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: and that's how we're going to be strong. And I

121
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: would I want to just put a fine point on it.

122
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: Be proud of your ambition. Be proud of your ambition,

123
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: have ambition, dream with ambition. Do not ever be burdened

124
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: by other people's limited ability to see what is possible.

125
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: Don't let that burden you. You know, my mother always

126
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: used to say to me, don't you ever let anybody

127
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: tell you who you are. You tell them who you are. Right,

128
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: I would love to say, hiied, no for breakfast. I

129
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: don't hear no until maybe the tenth time. Don't hear

130
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: it No, don't hear it no.

131
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

132
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

133
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 4: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with

134
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

135
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 4: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

136
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 4: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States

00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

140
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 4: are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly

141
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will

142
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

143
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

144
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 4: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
