Communities based on physical distinctions and economical distinctions and to build the majority that way and we can see the democrats have never stopped and joe biden is doing this in a big way. They are targeting the suburbs of america. They are targeting the suburbs of america. They talk about the white women in the suburbs with College Degrees and they feel like theyre going to win that vote and if they win that vote to win the presidency. How do i know that question because i read it in the newspaper and anyone in the newspaper must be true, but it is true and so they feel that this is the week of the trump campaign. I want to focus on this for a moment and i want to start this way. If you read an analysis by cbs news in 2016 that looked at 20 tannen said the suburbs are 25 minority or if you look at the atlantic which thats 52 of the black community actually lives in the suburbs and not the inner city, the suburbs are far more diverse than the cities. Theyre very diverse. There being targeted for what, federalize, centralized government controlled by the left and it really started under obama and thats why this is a very, very important topic for people who live in the suburbs, people who want to live in the suburbs and people who dont live in the suburbs but care about the nature of their country. Stanley kurtz, senior fellow of the ethics and Public Policy center, he has wonderful articles about this, spreading the wealth, stanley, how are you sir. Im great. Thanks so much for having me. Its a pleasure. But start at the beginning. What is it that the federal government did to ensure that the civil rights. [inaudible] the federal government during the Civil Rights Era passed the Fair Housing Act of 1968 and rightly it prevents discrimination in housing so if people come to buy a home or to rent an apartment, they should be treated in the same way regardless of race, ethnicity, immigrants, regardless of national origin. That is the law. So this seems morally correct under every circumstance something thats been in place for a long time, it seems be working pretty well, but then obama comes United States and what does he do with that 1968. He represents a segment of the party and an influential segment that really doesnt think well of the suburbs. They consider them fundamentally unjust for the suburbs. Why . When people move out to the suburbs they take their tax money with them and that is viewed by obama and many other democrats as a way of selfishly keeping more money from less welloff people in the cities. He created a really massive rule called affirmatively furthering fair housing read there was a mention of that in the original Fair Housing Act but all it really meant at the time was that the secretary of housing and urban development should take positive steps to make sure people didnt discriminate in housing between people of different races and ethnicities et cetera, just as we said before, but obama took that brief mention and created out of it a transformative rule, a little bit like obamacare and that its a massive rule that does a great many things and you have to keep building and building and the bottom line is that aff age, the acronym for furthering fair housing would radically undercut the political and economic independence of americas suburbs. It would allow bureaucrats in washington, in the department of housing and urban development to control zoning laws, to control the placement of transportation and Business District, even to some degree the drawing of School Districts. In other words almost every important local governmental responsibility could, under the policy fall into the de facto control of the feds. So effectively in so many crucial respects to the people who have lived in these communities and the people that want to live in these communities, the federal government would nationalize, federalize decisions respecting the economy, schooling, law enforcement, housing, zoning, commercial activity, transportation hubs, have i missed something question mike. You probably have mark, ive probably missed something because theres so many things in the aff h regulation. Its hard to keep track. For example, ill give you one example of something we both missed. It will allow the feds to push local government into regional governing consortium. Now what does that bit of gobbledygook mean . It means that it will try to create a layer of government in between the federal government and local government, a layer of government that corresponds to your greater metropolitan area. If youre in Montgomery County outside philadelphia it will try to remove your governing responsibility and hand them over to the grade greater metropolitan area which will probably end up taking a chunk of your tax money, so there is a lot in affh. Mark i suspect they will need to keep a lot of data on whats going on with schools, where houses are built, what kind of houses are built, who lives in these houses, what kind of density you have in a particular area, and on and on and on, and these federal bureaucratibureaucrats are going to do it out of the hub building as opposed to people and communities going to their zoning boards and commissioners and city councils. Is that correct . Thats absolutely correct mark. Here is how it really will work. The feds will provide some basic sense of data to the locality that apply for various grants from the federal government but really they will force your locality, your county or municipality to fill out a very detailed demographic form and they will have to list where everyone lives according to their economic status, according to race and ethnicity, according to national origin, according to english Language Proficiency and handicap status. And i could go on and will go on and explain how that will then be used by the fed but one crucial thing you need to know is when you fill out that form, if you check the wrong boxes, you could be opening yourself up to a lawsuit as a locality and that would have tremendous negative effects and weve already seen a run through of this in Westchester County in new york state which the Obama Administration used as a kind of dry run for its affh rule. If you are sued, that would give the feds an additional lever say to force you to go into regional governmental consortium, to force you to remove your zoning and make it the way the feds want, to force you to spend tens and even hundreds of millions of dollars on high density low Income Housing. Theres almost nothing they cant do once they scare you into a lawsuit and if you fill out that form the wrong way, you are really opening yourself up to a suit. Mark i want to talk about Westchester County new york in the next segment. I want the audience to understand this is real world. Its not theoretical, this is of reality and i want to talk about what President Trump plans to do about it. Ben carson becomes secretary of hud and you have this obama regulation out there, what have they done with this regulation. Well, the good news, theres a lot of good news actually from the beginning, secretary carson and President Trump suspended the enforcement of affh but they didnt actually end the rule. They didnt pull it away and there was a lot of debate on what should actually be done but very recently President Trump, with the help of secretary carson had a very powerful and effective way put an end to affh as it was created under the Obama Biden Administration and this is really a tremendous accomplishment because we often have, what we call in government, the ratchet effect. The ratchet only goes one way. It either stops or moves in one direction and after the federal government is under a ratchet effect meaning it only gets bigger or if a republican gets in it stays about the same but it never actually shrinks and this is the case where President Trump, with the help of secretary carson have actually countered the ratchet effect, not only have they peel back virtually the entirety of the obama biden affh rule, this radical overreaching rule but theyve even peeled back some layers that had accumulated over the law which wasnt about what was in the law, even before the policy. This is a brilliant stroke on the part of the trump administration. Its a courageous action and it sets up a radical dichotomy on what biden will offer the suburbs which is affh turbocharged and we can explain that turbocharged later on one hand and President Trump on the other hand is saying to the suburbs zero no, im not going to mess with your fundamental freedoms. Joe biden is and theres going to be a choice like night and day. Mark when we come back thats exactly what i want to focus in on. I think people need to understand that this election is so crucial. Its not about theory or policy that affects someone else. The left is very, very serious about fundamentally changing america and that means School Systems, police departments, zoning and the only way they can do it is to nationalize these local decisions and when it comes to riding in the street and the mayor supporting it or closing their eyes to it, all the sudden theyre federalist but when it comes to everything else, lets not fool ourselves, they are ironfisted government promoters but this is very important. Theyre targeting the suburbs for votes and the suburbs need for votes and the suburbs need to understand the countdown has begun. til everyone can enjoy a professional clean feel. At home.

Stanley kurtz, the suburbs the target of the democrats and by target i mean the target for destruction and the democrats have kind of showed some ankle but are now kind of covering it up as biden wants to get as many votes out of the suburbs, particularly in the major cities of this country as possible because he uses that as the way to victory. Stanley kurtz, give us the full foundation of what it is of obama biden that were trying to do. Absolutely mark. Before i mentioned any locality that applies for federal housing grant is going to have to fill out an elaborate demographic form. Youve got to explain where everyone lives in your jurisdiction by income, race, ethnicity, et cetera. Thats just beginning. Once eve done that, you have to compare your suburbs demography to the demography of the greater metropolitan region so if youre in Montgomery County or Chester County in suburban philadelphia you have to then compare your demography to that of the greater metropolitan region and if there are any imbalances, different races, ethnicities or incomes in different parts of the region, you have to submit a plan to hud to remedy that imbalance and what that means in practice is if you are an upper middleclass suburbs you might be obligated to build tens, even hundreds of millions of dollars in whats called high density, low Income Housing and change your zoning regulations if your zoning had allowed only for singlefamily house with a nice yard where your kids can play and plenty of parking on the street, that would have to change. And, even that is just beginning you then have to inventory everything in your district. Everything is considered a community asset. Where are the good schools in your district. Where are the parks . Where are the transportation hubs . Where are the Employment Opportunities and the Business District . If all of that is not equidistant from all the different demographic and groups in your area including the people you would bring in from other parts of the metropolitan area than you are also in trouble and you have to develop a plan to fix that. So, thats just. Theres a lot more as i said with regard to forcing you into governing consortium, maybe you will be sued because you filled out the form in a way that was not very smart so those are some of the main traps that are laid for almost any jurisdiction that applies for a hud grant under affh b created by the Obama Administration. This almost sounds like thomas mores utopia where they create these communities and they tell you what types of uniform you are supposed to be wearing, who attends lunch in what hour and dinner at what hour, its a massive assault on individual liberty and mobility and private property rights, on our local zoning system, it destroys our history in every respect when it comes to our governing system and it turns everything over to bureaucrats and hud who is motivated radical leftwing agenda so youre basically wipe out the suburbs, youll wipe out the ability for local governments to govern and that say you have somebody or some group in a town council and a mayor who says were not to go along with us. Whats the punishment if they dont go along . All right, that is in a way the Million Dollar question the first thing a suburb to do if they didnt want to go along with this is just not go along with the hud grant. Many, many, most local jurisdictions in the United States receive what are called Community Development grants from hud. You can say okay im not going to apply for it and that would be smart. You be giving up the money but you also wouldnt be filling out the form which could get you sued, but heres where joe biden and the turbocharging comes in. Its bad enough that biden has promised to enforce the obama item affh to the hilt but now hes come up with a new idea that he got from senator cory booker and that is this, not only will your hud grant become conditional on doing all of the things that i just explained, but now your suburb will not be able to participate in any state road repairs that use any money in what are called surface transportation grants from the federal government. Now what suburb in the United States could afford to exempt itself from state road repair, its roads would deteriorate over if theyre going to build a new artery to help the commute, how could you not have an outlet from the artery into your jurisdiction. It would be impossible. Once the oh obama biden affh is turbo charged with the booker plan i think every community would have to pick you late. Mark they would have to go to court to cut off all or most federal grants whether its education, trying to tie it back and get it in front of an obama judge or a biden judge, god forbid should there be one and all that happens is the trajectory goes one way. Donald trump becomes president and hits the brakes and says this is crazy. This is not what america is about. This is a violation of our constitutional construct, individual liberty, individual choices and im not one to put it out there. Then you have the other party which is absolutely focused on the government control of the individual, federal government control of our School Systems and healthcare and of the employment and workplace and on and on but i want to expand with you when we come back Stanley Kurtz the turbocharged part of what biden plans to do and then i want to ask you, why are they so quiet a a a a a looks like they picked the wrong getaway driver.
