about the campaign bread ░░░░░░░░ butter issues the economy ░░░░░░░░ is one that when ░░░░░░░░ ask people the follow ░░░░░░░░ question what they mean ░░░░░░░░ economy they talk about ░░░░░░░░ are too high the ░░░░░░░░ the rent the affordability ░░░░░░░░ housing So actually who ░░░░░░░░ head the secretary of ░░░░░░░░ matters When the immediate ░░░░░░░░ secretary of hud in ░░░░░░░░ Biden Administration was in ░░░░░░░░ she took on appraisals ░░░░░░░░ appraisals She built public ░░░░░░░░ partnerships in building new ░░░░░░░░ I just this position ░░░░░░░░ Eugene It is definitely ░░░░░░░░ to matter over the ░░░░░░░░ four years One of ░░░░░░░░ things we heard every ░░░░░░░░ day when we talked ░░░░░░░░ voters when we talked ░░░░░░░░ the campaign was that ░░░░░░░░ came up every single ░░░░░░░░ because it is a ░░░░░░░░ in pricing in your ░░░░░░░░ that you see every ░░░░░░░░ month right It happens ░░░░░░░░ single 1st 2nd 3rd ░░░░░░░░ if you are later ░░░░░░░░ 15th of the month ░░░░░░░░ people have to pay ░░░░░░░░ bill and it was ░░░░░░░░ There weren t enough ░░░░░░░░ for people who wanted ░░░░░░░░ leave their first home ░░░░░░░░ people couldn t get ░░░░░░░░ first home and then ░░░░░░░░ prices were all over ░░░░░░░░ place and it was ░░░░░░░░ the political spectrum And ░░░░░░░░ importantly across age groups ░░░░░░░░ whatever you know he ░░░░░░░░ going to do at ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ watching That s why ░░░░░░░░ I talk to folks ░░░░░░░░ you know were confused ░░░░░░░░ this pick a little ░░░░░░░░ it was that this ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ that is going to ░░░░░░░░ how Americans view this ░░░░░░░░ in a lot of ░░░░░░░░ Right The prices stay ░░░░░░░░ they are they re ░░░░░░░░ going to be he ░░░░░░░░ not going to get ░░░░░░░░ credit for it Speaking ░░░░░░░░ shaping not just America ░░░░░░░░ views but shaping the ░░░░░░░░ of this new government ░░░░░░░░ New York Times reporting ░░░░░░░░ Vought and project 2025 ░░░░░░░░ Vought s role in ░░░░░░░░ 2025 was to oversee ░░░░░░░░ orders and other unilateral ░░░░░░░░ Trump could take during ░░░░░░░░ first six months in ░░░░░░░░ with the goal of ░░░░░░░░ down and rebuilding executive ░░░░░░░░ institutions in a way ░░░░░░░░ would enhance presidential power ░░░░░░░░ the end of the ░░░░░░░░ that s why all ░░░░░░░░ these people are here ░░░░░░░░ 2025 which everybody on ░░░░░░░░ GOP and MAGA ran ░░░░░░░░ from over the course ░░░░░░░░ the summer are now ░░░░░░░░ oh I don t ░░░░░░░░ using as a foundation ░░░░░░░░ the government Who d ░░░░░░░░ thought of that You ░░░░░░░░ You ve talked about ░░░░░░░░ a lot I think ░░░░░░░░ you know this is ░░░░░░░░ that folks are not ░░░░░░░░ to pay a lot ░░░░░░░░ attention to People are ░░░░░░░░ by politics at this ░░░░░░░░ but it is something ░░░░░░░░ they probably should pay ░░░░░░░░ lot of attention to ░░░░░░░░ The kinds of things ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ on the executive Branch ░░░░░░░░ right Executive power has ░░░░░░░░ expanding for a long ░░░░░░░░ and it is not ░░░░░░░░ Republicans who have done ░░░░░░░░ Democrats have done it ░░░░░░░░ well So we re ░░░░░░░░ to see how far ░░░░░░░░ can stretch it The ░░░░░░░░ is that a lot ░░░░░░░░ the courts stop certain ░░░░░░░░ that some of the ░░░░░░░░ wanted to do on ░░░░░░░░ We saw it a ░░░░░░░░ with Joe Biden The ░░░░░░░░ Court seems poised to ░░░░░░░░ okay with a lot ░░░░░░░░ the things that Donald ░░░░░░░░ and Vought want to ░░░░░░░░ when it comes to ░░░░░░░░ executive Branch and executive ░░░░░░░░ So it is a ░░░░░░░░ that a lot of ░░░░░░░░ are going to change ░░░░░░░░ quickly and Americans should ░░░░░░░░ a lot of attention ░░░░░░░░ it because it is ░░░░░░░░ of those things that ░░░░░░░░ actually affect their daily ░░░░░░░░ Eugene I just want ░░░░░░░░ note since its inception ░░░░░░░░ people are going to ░░░░░░░░ check us hud had ░░░░░░░░ black secretaries During the ░░░░░░░░ administration the secretary of ░░░░░░░░ was in fact not
