8:02 pm
that donna facility. kind of déjà vu similar to back in the month of march. a border patrol source telling fox news as of thursday there were around 5300 migrants being held with between 40-60 migrants in each pod, well above the covid-19-recommended limit of about 10 per pod. as border patrol here in the rio grande valley continues to be overwhelmed, take a look at this video we shot with our fox drone. this is what the city of mcallen had to build, essentially, overnight, a compound meant to house covid-positive illegal immigrants who have been released into the custody of a local ngo to. now, the city says the federal government has just overwhelmed them with the alarming number of illegals released into their jurisdiction. you can take a look at our ground video from that camp. many of these migrants, say they, later test positive for covid-19. today we shot video, hundreds of migrants were already in that camp oz of this morning, officials expect up to 650
8:03 pm
people. the mcallen mayor says they've got to do the job of the federal government, and they have to make the best out of a bad situation. take a listen. >> we shouldn't and we cannot let immigrants roam around our city especially with the high covid rate. it used to be 4, 5, 6%, it's in excess of 15% positive. we have to protect our citizens no matter what. >> reporter: and, david, as the administration has continued to insist that the border is closed or that extreme progress is being made, the federal government just reported a staggering number. on wednesday of this week alone, they apprehended 834 unaccompanied minors here at the southern border in one single day. back to you. david: that is horrible when you think of those poor kids. over 800 in one day. i don't want to sound like an echo chamber, but you have been doing spectacular reporting, and you can't get it anywhere else but on fox. thank you for that reporting, appreciate it. joining me now is the mayor you just heard from who is at ground
8:04 pm
zero of the crisis. javier villalobos is mayor of mcallen, texas, the busiest spot for illegal border crossings. mayor, thank you so much for your time. we've heard, by the way, that last week there were 7,000 migrants, 1500 of whom tested positive for the virus. that would put the number at 21% of those migrants coming in with covid is. is that right? >> well, you know what? it used to be originally 4, ticked up to 8, now we know it's definitely above 15%, and as stated before, stated earlier, look, we're going to do whatever we have to do up to the point that, hopefully, the federal government steps up and does what they have to do. david: can you handle that many cases without the federal government? >> we can. as a matter of fact, that's why we filed a disaster declaration a few days ago because, look, it's not our responsibility. we we shouldn't be doing this, and we shouldn't be expelling
8:05 pm
our funds to do -- expending our funds to be doing a federal issue, their responsibility. so, yes, we try to get some funding from the state and federal level. by ourselves we can't do it, and we shouldn't be doing it. david: is it fair to call this crisis at the border a super-spreader crisis now? because that's a national emergency. >> well, you know what? talk about super-spreader, i tell people, look, this is what's going on. they come there to mcallen, we really didn't have issues here with the immigrants because people call it a border crisis, i call it an immigration crisis because people pass through here and go throughout the united states. they don't stay here. now the issue of whether they have covid or not, look, they're going throughout the country. and we need to do something. we need to stop it, we need to stop the flow. but we can't stop it. david: i'm sure you heard bill's report, over 800 unaccompanied children in just one day.
8:06 pm
it was wednesday of this week. how do you handle that? >> well, it's very difficult. matter of fact, we also have to do an emergency and set up some tents, and i think the ones you're probably looking at in mcallen, several tents because the rescue center could no longer hold them. now two days or a day after that, because that was a temporary thing, thanks to our county commissioner and county judge, we were able to relocate a few of the tents, and now my understanding is that we're at around 850 people already in the tent in the park. david: you know, the washington examiner had a piece about what your town is going through. catholic charities has taken in a number of these people. they have one facility that has a maximum limit of 1200 people. according to the examiner, they have 2000 people in there. i think of those 80
8:07 pm
unaccompanied children -- 800 unaccompanied children, this is getting to the point where there's a dangerous overflow beyond limits. is that true? >> it is. it's very difficult. i don't know how many -- what the number is, but however, look, we're talking about safety. and one of the things that concerns us in the city of mcallen that, look, we're considered the seventh safest city in the country. we want to keep it that way s and we shouldn't be doing these things that we're doing now for the federal government. [inaudible] we've got to do a what we have to do to keep our city safe, and we are, but we implore, we ask -- and fortunately, now at least we have a line of communication with the white house where we, look, do what you have to do. we know that with the stroke of a pen, they can change. so we're hoping something happens. david: you said the stroke of a pen. you're talking about going back to the deal with mexico that the trump administration worked out? >> well, you know what?
8:08 pm
without getting into political issues, whatever we had seven, a eight months ago was working very well compared to now. david: and finally, i wish we had more time, but you talk about safety, and it is true. mcallen is one of the ten safest cities in the united states up until now. i'm wondering if that has changed things because, as you know, i.c.e. has been pulled back, and a lot of bad people are getting in with the earnest immigrants. >> you know what? we are lucky that we have a very good police force here in mcallen, so as far as the safety issues, it's still, we are still not concerned about that. what we are concerned is that we can no longer have the immigrants, we can no longer transport them out. then we're to going to have problems. as of yet, we are doing very well when it comes to safety. david: well, god bless you, mayor. it's an impossible job. it's literally an impossible job when you think of the sanitary facilities, all of the things
8:09 pm
involved in this. i just don't know how you keep it together, but we wish you the very best and i hope, in fact, the white house does come to your rescue. as you say, the stroke of a end pen, that's all it would take. appreciate it, mayor. thank you for coming in. for more on this, let's bring in kayleigh mcenany, white house press secretary to former president trump and cohost of "outnumbered" on the fox news channel. your successor, jen psaki, has been asked time and again what she and what the administration is doing to stem the flow, this extraordinary tsunami at the border. she never really answers the question. let me just play a sound bite and get your response. roll tape. >> it's been almost four months since the president told migrants don't come, don't leave your towns. almost two months since the vice president went to central america to say do not come. but people are coming in record numbers. does the president think his immigration plan is working? >> well, the president continues to convey to anyone, as you've said, who wants to come to the
8:10 pm
united states now is not the time to come, it is not the time to come and try to go through a regular migration. we want to have an effective process where you can apply for asylum, where you can apply for legal status. there's more that needs to be done. we've also instituted a number of traditional tests recently including expedited removals to move people out of the country more quickly. but it's, we're still at work on improving a process and improving a system that was very -- david: all right. bottom line is saying just don't come just doesn't work, does it? >> no. let me be eminently clear, my successor and joe biden's successor are responsible for the catastrophic fire on our southern border. saying don't come does very little after you stood at the podium and said if you're a
8:11 pm
child and you arrive at the southern border, we will not turn you away. don't come, however, we will not turn you away leads to a 21-year high on encounters on our southern border, leads to 19,000 unaccompanied minors in the month of july, the highest ever, leads to the perilous journey where these kids are the victims of assault, trafficking, we've all seen those kids dropped over the border wall. that is what this leads to, and now you even have -- yeah. david: the biden people are are not idiots. they know what you say is true. they've seen the numbers. maybe the rest of america, those that aren't watching fox, habit seen the numbers because -- haven't seen the numbers because there's a media blackout on it. but they know what's happening, so it leads me to ask why respect they doing anything to stem the flow? why not? i mean, they know it's not working. why aren't they doing something that works? do they want the flow to keep coming? >> david, i think that's it, i think they simply do not care. i think this is a political calculus, not a humanitarian
8:12 pm
one, that they cannot afford to lose the aoc, ilhan omar squad, far-left wing of the party. so what they will do, you know, they're already keeping title 42 in place for families, meaning we will keep you out of the country because of covid concerns, they're keeping that in place, getting some fire from the left. but anything short of that, if they went any further, they would lose that far-left flank of the party. so it's a political concern. they never cared about the migrant children during the trump administration because now they're in emergency intake facilities where there are reports that sexual assault, suicide watch lists and deplorable conditions. we don't hear about that often, do we? david: and, be by the way, what we just heard from the mayor of mcallen was, in fact, despite them saying they're going the keep the restriction on covid-infected people, these people are coming in. 21% of the migrants coming into mcallen now are covid-positive. 21%. and those are the ones that we know about. chances are there are many, many more who have gotten in that haven't been registered who are
8:13 pm
covid infected. this is becoming a national security crisis on the border, and for all of their complaints, i think i echo what governor desantis says, for all their complaints about what others are doing about covid, they're spreading it by what's happening at the border. >> yes. there are untold numbers of illegal immigrants coming into our country with covid. look, april "the new york times" was reporting that they don't have testing to test these illegal immigrants, they're testing them when they're many iterations out from the holding facilities, so we don't noel who's coming in. -- know who's coming in. we know out of 7,000 in mcal listen eleven alone, 1,500 in one day. ron desantis is right, their importing covid ve ya our southern border. david: it's more than a border crisis. kayleigh mcenany, thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> thank you. david: and coming up, lara trump responding to cori bush's doubling down on democrat calls

8:18 pm
total u.s. population is now fully vaccinated, but officials are not denying a report that it still may issue a financial threat to institutions to push more americans to get vaccinated. edward lawrence is at the white house with details on this. >> reporter: david, yeah, all options are on the table. even when you're talking about mandates for vaccines in certain areas, president joe biden saying he's going to make it very uncomfortable for unvaccinated federal employees. listen to this. >> federal workers will be asked to attest to their vaccination status. anyone who does not attest or is not vaccinated will be required to wear a mask no matter where where they work. test one or two times a week. socially distance. and generally will not be allowed to travel for work. there'll be more to come in the days ahead. >> reporter: more to come. now even from the white house briefing room, they hinted at more incentives to get vaccinated.
8:19 pm
listen. >> so we are going to consider a range of options. there are factors, as i think you all know, as you consider these policy options, pros and cons. we're making all decisions through the prism of what is in the interest of public health, but we're going to let that policy process see itself through. >> reporter: fox news is reporting that of the 1.3 million military members will be ordered now by the secretary of defense in order to get the shot, you have the new york mayor mandating people show proof of vaccination if they want to dine out or go to a show. some republican senators concerned about this overreach are. >> self-governed people are very capable of being self-informed, and when you start bullying or harassing people, that's very counterproductive. let people consult their doctors, make their own decisions for them and their family. >> reporter: you also have a number of private companies that are mandating all employees get vaccinated. some of them you may lose your job if you don't. david: edward lawrence, thank you very much. and then there are the cities. president biden has praised new
8:20 pm
york mayor de blasio's edict that customers of restaurants, theaters and all other venues inside must now be vaccinated. but few of new york's struggling business owners are happy. they're too busy worrying about how to enors force this new mandate. -- enforce this new mandate. here now is david marcus, new york post political reporter. so the city's despised, lame duck mayor comes out with an edict that a lot of businesses are scared is going to kill the business that's slowly flowing back, and this is supposed to be a model for the rest of the country? [laughter] is president biden kidding? >> yeah, i've spoken to a lot of restaurant ownerses over the last 18 months -- owners, and one of the things that frustrates them and the restaurant associations so much is that they're basically being turned into the covid police. david: exactly. >> that was true of the mask mandates, that's true with this vaccine mandate. you know, either de blasio doesn't think that he has the
8:21 pm
authority to mandate this vaccine directly to citizens, or he doesn't like the optics of police or government agencies going to check people's medical papers. but it's very frustrating for these restaurant ownerses who bear the bruntover potential penalties if they -- of potential penalties if they don't. david: i've talked to them on air and off air, and they say the mayor's office never instructed them about how to enforce it. even if they had the personnel to do it, they've been having a tough enough time just getting waiters and dishwashers and stuff because the government payments on unemployment. but after they hire these people, how do they do it? the mayor's office isn't telling them. >> yeah. and the guidance changes so quickly that once they put one thing in place, it gets turned into something else. you know, this is part of a broader trend of where government either feels it can't or doesn't want the act on covid. it pushes it into the private sector. you saw this with biden
8:22 pm
pressuring facebook and twitter to sort of censor speech in a way that, of course, the government could never do to stop misinformation. david: right. >> so this is, you know, you see the pressuring businesses to enforce vaccinations on their employees. so this is a broader trend that is definitely something that some republicans like senator josh hawley are looking at in terms of the relationship between the government and big corporations. david: well, it's certainly not a model for the rest of the nation coming from a, again, a despised, lame duck mayor whose advice is killing some of these businesses struggling to come back. i can't let you go without asking you about cuomo, because his legal troubles have taken another turn. the first criminal complaint has been filed against him by an aide who accused him of groping her last year. an attorney for the governor responding to the accusations just moments ago. listen. >> all the entrance and exits referenced in this woman's story which is stated as fact in the report is false.
8:23 pm
the documentary evidence does not support what she said. david: now, she went on to say the governor will soon address the allegations himself. could this be his swan song that he's preparing for? >> well, it's bad news for him, certainly. two things jump out at me. one is that if governor cuomo has any path to remain in governor, it's a slim one, and he really needs just to quiet down for a little expwhiel get out of the news cycle so that he can try to back channel with legislators and strike some kind of a dealen on censure or something. anything like a new criminal complaint operates against that. and the other thing that's important is that he can point at leticia james and say your report's biased because you want to be governor, you want my job. that's a lot harder to say in this context when it's just one accuser who doesn't want to be governor. so, yeah, not a good development for the governor. david: well, if he gets off
8:24 pm
without full impeachment, nobody -- a lot of people will simply not accept that. a lot of people from the democratic side, of course, the republicans as well. david, great to see you. thank you for coming in today. david marcus9 from the new york post. good to see you, my friend. well, one republican senator on why he is refusing to sign off on the infrastructure plan. that's coming next. ♪ ♪ (judith) in this market, you'll find fisher investments is different than other money managers.

♪♪ david: so we had a nice beat in the july jobs report that came out this morning. the u.s. economy adding 943,000 jobs in july while the unemployment rate dropped to 5.4%. even the labor participation rate improved a bit. with us now is kristin tate, the liberal invasion of red state america author. kristin, great to see you. thanks for coming in. i don't want to bury the good news, because it is good news. the economy's coming back.
8:29 pm
americans know how to work, they know how to produce, but we still have 9.3 million unfilled jobs, and that's causing a hell of a problem for companies that want to get back in full compliance with the demand out there. there's a hot of demand with people that have money, but they can't meet the demand, the businesses can't, because they can't find the labor. when does that end? >> well, that's precisely right, and it ends when the federal government and, frankly, the state governments stop paying these big unemployment problems. we have a labor shortage problem, and the labor force participation rate is still down significantly from where it was before the pandemic. the biggest driver is these checks coming from federal and state governments that basically pay people to stay home. what we're seeing now, david, is the companies in the private sector basically having to compete with unemployment checks from the government. companies like walmart or are paying these huge bonuses to employees just to show up for their scheduled shifts. and i'll point out that small
8:30 pm
businesses, mom and shop places, they're at a big disadvantage because unlike the big retailer, they can't keep up with these increased costs. 49% of small businesses last month couldn't fill open jobs. david: wow. >> i just think think these unemployment benefits have outlived their use, and we've got to get rid of them -- david: and, of course, fewer workers means fewer goods and services being produced, and that means higher inflation. now, president biden took credit for these jobs numbers today, the good jobs numbers. he's not taking blame for inflation, though. should he? >> well, of course. the government needs to just kind of step back and let the private sector do its thing. the supply chains have been severely disrupted because truck drivers and factory workers and all kinds of other workers that are really critical to the economy can often make more money staying at home. so because of this labor shortage, costs of everything from coffee to gas to lumber is way up. and who does that hurt most?
8:31 pm
of course, it hurts the working class and the poor the most. these are folks who still have to put gas in their cars, they still have to go to the grocery store. that's what's really shameful, it's the most vulnerable who get hurt most. david: there's something else that's happened, but a lot of people are complaining service isn't what it used to be. it's not because the incentives for keeping a job are far less because people know, well, if i lose this job, maybe i could make more money getting unemployment benefits. it's going to be difficult to get that back? a lot of folks, marley restaurants and places like that -- particularly restaurants and places like that, the lower paying jobs, are having trouble with their workers. >> that's right. i actually think this problem will be corrected pretty quickly when the unemployment benefits stop. my stepmother owns some restaurants in the boston area. she's had a lot of trouble keeping employees. everywhere you go, i'm sure your viewers, no matter where you live, you see help wanted signs
8:32 pm
everywhere. there's a dunken donuts that's been closed for a year and the sign says sorry, we're closed because we can't find workers. i think it'll correct pretty quickly -- david: i hope it does. kristin, thank you so much for coming in, i appreciate it. good to see you. and now we have some breaking news on that infrastructure bill. late last night there was a lone conservative republican who refused to sign off on the $1.2 trillion bill despite the fact that a lot of his colleagues said it was okay. tennessee senator bill hagerty revealed that a cbo report showed less than half of the bill was paid for contrary to the rhetoric coming from the bill's authors. and senator hagerty joins us now. senator hagerty, i gotta, i gotta give you an a+ on this because we love somebody who's willing to fight against the odds, but the odds are against you. you have this handful of republican senators who for some
8:33 pm
reason don't see this as a problem, the fact that more than half the bill is not paid for against which the bill's authors said. so how do you fight members of your own party who say this bill's okay? >> well, i certainly do see it as a problem, david. the last thing i'm going to do is accelerate the process and make it easier for chuck schumer to shove this through just so he can get to the $3.5 trillion totally partisan spending spree he's got in store for us. each of my republican colleagues are going to have to make their own decisions, but we've bought ourselves some time to dig in and understand what's happening and allow the american public to understand what's happening. you know, i was sent to the senate by the people of tennessee not to make things more convenient for chuck schumer to expedite things he wants to, i was sent there to protect the taxpayers' interest. that's exactly what i want to do here. david: well, and standing on principle, you have backbone, and not many people in politics do. maybe it's because you're a first-termer, you haven't been
8:34 pm
corrupted yet by the institution. but even senator rand paul, who's a libertarian from way back, his father was as well, he said it's time to wrap up the debate and get back home for the vacation. i mean, when you're up against rand paul because you're standing on good libertarian principles, it's tough. >> well, again, i knew i would have a tough job coming into the united states senate. i saw the threat coming toward america from the socialist, radical policies that the left are putting out. i realize now it's going to be lonely too. but i'm here to represent the people of tennessee and to look after their best interests, and that's precisely what i intend to do. david: now, besides the fact that the bill is not paid for, and i always -- it bothered me that phrase, paid for, because it's paid for by us, by taxpayers -- >> exactly. david: -- and we haven't signed off on it. what exactly in the bill do you object to? >> well, if you look at the bill, again, this initial infrastructure bill, it's been billed as infrastructure, but only about a quarter of it is what you or i would call
8:35 pm
infrastructure, roads, bridges, highways, things that actually have a return on investment for taxpayer. a large portion is really more government involvement, more distortion of the economy. and, again, that's what's driving us into the deep, deep red. we're talking over a quarter of a trillion dollars. the bill itself, over 2700 pages. a king james bible is 1300 pages, to put it into perspective. [laughter] this is crazy. they just opened the numbers up hours before chuck schumer pushes to expedite because he's got this $3.5 trillion package waiting on back end. again, he's trying to shove us in a direction. i'm not going to do anything to expedite his movement toward the transformation of america that joe biden has talked about. david: so explain to us how it greases the skids into those other trillion dollar packagings. >> i think chuck schumer would have enjoyed passing this in the dark of night last night. hope this is all distorted by
8:36 pm
people's focus and what's happening with governor cuomo or mask mandates and restaurants in new york city, that he could slip this through and in the process transform america and put the green new deal fully into motion. he's going to destroy the fossil fuel industry, more death taxes, more taxes on job creators, you know, more personal taxes. they're going to kill capital investment in america and shove more jobs overseas. that's where we're headed. this gives us the opportunity to have the conversation we're having right now for your viewers, and i'm going to continue talking about this. david: you've only got 20 seconds, but what happens now, procedurally speaking, with the infrastructure bill? >> we go back to washington tomorrow. the floor of the senate opens back up at noon. and i'll see where we go from there, see how many of my colleagues have thought about this, have dug into what the congressional budget office numbers have revealed to us and see if we can make some movement happen in a positive direction from our side. what i don't want to see is chuck schumer get a a free f f t veve in,n, againga in the t

8:42 pm
private security while supporting calls to defund the police. listen. >> i'm going to make sure i have security because i know i have had attempts on my life, and i have too much work to do, there are too many people that need help right now for me to allow that. so if i end up spending 200,000, if i spend $10 more on it, you know what? i get to be here to do the work. so suck it up and defunding the police has to happen. we need to defund the police and put that money into social safety nets because we're trying to save lives. david: here now is lara trump, fox business contributor and daughter-in-law, of course, of former president donald trump. lara, thank you for coming in, good to see you. i think democrats are scared to death of what you just heard. it may be repulsive to others who watch it, particularly when she says my body is worth protecting, and the implication being your body is not, because i can have policing but you can't. but how are dems going to deal
8:43 pm
with this? >> oh, well, i don't think very well. because, quite frankly, if the democrats didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all, dade. this is ridiculous -- david, this is ridiculous, to hear something like this from a united states congresswoman. i cannot believe that she has the audacity to say this. but let me translate it for people who might not have caught that. what she said was that she needs protection, but her constituents are on their own. we want to defund that police department. she represents the city of st. louis, by the way, that is largely her area. "u.s. news & world report" ranked it as the number four most dangerous place in the united states of america. so she might want to reconsider what she's putting out there. absolutely ridiculous. david: well, and americans have reconsidered the whole defund the police movement. recent polls show overwhelming support for the police. in fact, 72% of voters now
8:44 pm
oppose defunding the police. even tough things liken top and frisk which most americans were against before the defund the police movement, now 52% of voters support stop and frisk. so she is going against a wave here. >> yeah. nobody thinks it's a good idea to defund the police departments because what you have seen happening is in the cities that have done that, it's been a complete and total disaster. we've seen in major american cities all run by democrats crime is through the roof. murders are through the roof. people are getting shot out on the streets. people are being mugged in broad daylight in new york city, in san francisco. so very clearly it doesn't work. no one wants to live in a place where they don't feel safe. that is why so many people are leaving states like new york and cities like manhattan, and they're going to places where republicans are in charge with fully robust police departments
8:45 pm
where they know they're going to be protected. david: well, and this is why president biden came out and tried to dissociate himself and all democrats from defund the police the other day, even the absurd claim that it was the republicans' suggestion which is, you know, false on its face, and that fell flat. but this, what we heard from cori bush and we're still hearing frit aoc and -- it from aoc, what they're saying it just kills the biden attempt the dissociate democrats from defund the police. they own it. >> oh, they absolutely own it. and even joe biden's vice president, kamala harris, last year, last summer told us all it's not gonna stop, it's never gonna stop. she was onboard to help defund the police departments. she was bailing people out of jail, you know, that were harassing and attacking police officers all over our country. david: that's right. >> so we know exactly where where this came from. [laughter] and it is going to be tough for the democrats. look, they know, david, they are
8:46 pm
heading into a really tough midterm election, year 2022. they know it's an uphill battle. this sort of thing, i do not think, helps them at all. but let's see what happens. 72% of the people don't want to defund the police. it ought to be up around 100% because we see the result is a disaster for america. david: well, you mentioned kamala harris, she's supposed to be in charge of what's happening at the border even though she disappeared in terms of a leader in that regard. they haven't done, there's not one specific thing that jen psaki or any other member of the biden administration can point to that would stop this sue name that's flowing a-- tsunami that's flowing across our border, many of whom are infected with covid. do you think it's accident that this is -- they are smart people. they know that their policies are leading to this flood. do you think that they actually want what we're seeing at the southern border right now? maybe not as messy as it is, but
8:47 pm
they want all the immigrants to be here? >> oh, without a doubt, 100%, because the reality is those are the democrats' new voters. they know that they have failed the american people. their plan is to get as many illegal immigrants into the united states as possible. they tried to federalize our election, they tried to take away voter id so that basically anybody could walk into a voting booth and vote, and that is their plan. they want illegal immigrants here so that the democrats can stay in power in perpetuity. david: right. >> it would be very easy to solve this problem. you build the wall and you finish the wall that president trump started, reenact the policies that he put in place that prevented people from coming here in the first place. david: yep. >> and take a tough stance on it. so it's ridiculous to claim that they don't have any way to stop this. of course they do. very easy, take a page out of donald trump's playbook. david: lara, i'm way over time, but do you think your father-in-law, if he runs again in 2024, is going to use
8:48 pm
immigration as one of his key points? he certainly did in 2016. [laughter] >> absolutely. it'll be top of the list along with all the other disasters the democrats have brought to us. david: and when are we going the hear from him about his plans for 2024? >> i'll let him make that announcement, but hopefully sooner than later. david: lara trump, thank you very much. have a wonderful weekend with. appreciate you coming here. >> you too. thank you. david: president biden's eviction ban facing an immediate and legal threat from landlords and realtor groups. we're going to be speaking with we're going to be speaking with one of ♪ ♪ ♪ we're going to be speaking with one of ♪ ♪ ♪

8:53 pm
coalition. 11 million members, that means there are 11 million folks that aren't getting their rent due. >> absolutely. and we need people to focus on that and not just on tenants only. we are small business owners, and we are people just like our tenants. and it's interesting that congress and the president is focused on tennants only, but what about us? we are providing a lot of the affordable housing that's needed in our communities, and we are just tossed to the side. caved david yeah. now -- david: yeah. now, even "the washington post" which has been very positive about the biden administration admitted in an editorial yesterday, they said the biden move is, quote, almost certainly illegal. so if it's, if even "the washington post" says it's illegal, do you think you'll win in the courts? >> well, we absolutely should win. and if not, the devastation that two more months causing is great. it is great for the renter because now they're two more months in debt when it's over, and they need to realize and some of them don't that the rent will be due at the end of it,
8:54 pm
and if they can't pay the monthly rent, how in the world will they be able to pay the large amount at the end? rental assistance is the answer, and a lot of our housing providers are under pressure. many have not received rent for over a year, and they're expected to still maintain the process, pay the mortgage on the property, and many are going to lose by foreclosure or there'll be out of town investors -- david: well, it's already happening. stacy, i'm sure you know, it's already happening. blackrock and other big wall street investors are buying up a lot of these properties. once again, this happened so often during the pandemic, the little guys are getting killed whether it's restaurants or you name it where the big corporations, the silicon valley companies, the blackrocks from wall street, some of them are making out like bandits, and this is another one of those examples, no? >> right, absolutely. and we need someone in congress, the socialists have their champion, we need a champion that stand with us with realtors and housing providers to actually preserve private
8:55 pm
property rights because they're on the line right here, right no. david: yeah. >> as a matter of fact, people don't realize that the mandate also criminalizes owning properties, and if someone is found in violation, they could end up with a fine between $100,000-500 thousand and up to a year in jail. we need someone in congress to stand with us -- david: we only have a couple seconds, but you're right. it come down to private property rights, contracts and obligations. that's why this economy has grown to what it is, and that's exactly what a lot of members of congress want to kill. they want to kill the golden goose which is our free market system. you've got ten seconds, go ahead. >> they need the realize that housing today is another industry tomorrow. we have a private contract between two private citizens that government has stepped in and says it's void, you must house people free of charge in your property, and it's definitely not right. but it's a slippery slope, and we need to stop it. david: it doesn't work. we saw that with the soviet
