On first of, all On, friday jobs report 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.320 came out and not too bragg BUT i was. Right 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:23.240 there were five hundred and twenty eight thousand new jobs In, 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.360 july AND i just want to put that in some. 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.920 Context so experts had predicted something like two hundred thousand new, 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.640 jobs which would have been down From, june but blue 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.880 expectations out of the. Water so for those who are 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.079 still looking for signs of a, procession, LISTEN i think 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.520 what we're in this period is like mixed. Signals like 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.760 the economy is just not giving us anything.

Them BUT i think 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:59.600 actions speak louder than, words and definitely louder than. Speculation 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.880 and the action right now is that employers were adding 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.880 half a million, jobs which is just like very. Exciting and, 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.640 whoever you, know whatever political leadings you guys may. Have 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.360 there was an epic piece of legislation that was passed 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:19.880 over the weekend called The Inflation Reduction. Act let's talk 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.640 a little bit about. That so this was like the 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.320 Big democrat led. Package they've been fighting over this for a, 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.280 year like a, year trying to pass this, thing and 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.679 we thought it was dead and then it came back 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.760 at the eleventh hour and it got. Passed it's going to, 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.200 do you, know a couple of. Things it's going to 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.520 release more oil so that the prices of gas can 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.679 hopefully go. Down the price of gas can go. Down 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.920 it's going to have funding FOR i THINK i read 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:47.840 for low income. Housing it's going to release a bunch 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.200 of money so that they can invest in like climate change, 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.960 initiative so that the most vulnerable people are not like 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.800 being impacted by climate. Change, oh my husband was, really 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.920 this is why my husband texted. Me, really it's, like 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.080 there's a tax credit for people who have electric vehicles 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.480 up to seventy five hundred dollars for a new electrical 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.000 vehicle Electrical and he's, like So tesla number, two, right 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.880 seventy five.

Tiff let me. 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:20.640 See SO i had to mute myself SO i could 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.440 cough my lung. Out oh you, know it's really crazy. 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.120 That so, normally in order for something like this to, 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:31.080 pass you have to have sixty, votes you, know but 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:37.120 they were able to maneuver through a different kind of 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.679 legislative arm and so they only needed like just a. 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.120 Majority so it was literally split in The senate fifty 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.560 to fifty and Then Vice President Kamala harris was a 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:52.640 tie breaking. Vote so, Yeah i'm just like, this this seems, 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.000 like you, know a step in the right, direction we. 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:59.880 Hope and to your, point you, know it's like like it's, 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:00.440 like are we in a. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:04.320 Session it's. Complicated so are we officially in a? Recession you? 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:08.800 Know, no but are there some recession y you know trends, happening, 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.520 Yes but a huge trend towards whether or not we're 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.360 in a, recession To maddy's, point is, unemployment which is 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.280 something that you, know not only is that not an, issue, 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.120 like it's quite the. Opposite there are a ton of 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.079 jobs out, there so let that be a mindered don't 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:24.920 let your employer talk to you any kind of. WAY i, 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.200 mean don't just, leave but you, know go ahead on 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.480 and get you some coach or.

Right, yes, strategically there is one 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.200 cool thing in the, bill BUT i didn't even realize 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.559 was hanging in the balance Member. Obamacare millions of people 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.840 still Use, obamacare and how it became affordable for lots 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.439 of people were, subsidies so they would actually like take 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.160 your income into account and you would get a subsidy 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.400 low your. Premium those were supposed to expire this, year 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.640 so thankfully with this bill they have been extended through 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:55.360 twenty twenty. 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:55.680 Five. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.960 YEAH i had no idea if that had Been, obamacare 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.320 like for BECAUSE i remember my DAD i used to 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.160 before he got a job that offered.

Family so thank y'all for getting some ish 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.920 done On Capitol hill for. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.200 ONCE i speaking Of. 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.920 Obamacare it's, funny do you, Remember, Amandy LIKE i don't 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:24.280 know if you, Remember like you know This President trump 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.760 was not the president, yet he was still running and 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.439 he Took Steve harvey had taken. 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.400 A picture with.
