I heart radio show with millions of listeners and youtube subscribers to promote real estate investment. He also held seminars and created youtube videos with dj envy. Dj envy has not been charged in connection with the case, but many of the alleged victims say they wore influenced by his celebrity status,
wow dj envy is in trouble for real estate fraud. What a serious story! It's definitely not funny. This certainly nothing personal that makes a funny to me.
Satellite regime. Accosted me on the radio for making a little joke about him, and his wife was only thought.
We're friends: it's you caught me decay
then got so mad. You locked himself in the studio for the rest of the show and told the booty security tat was a threat, but even if that happened, that's all in the past
No apparently the news dj envy my go to jail for alleged ponzi steam, flipping houses, new jersey, that's not hilarious is tragic because he's just a dj

and a realistic. I three people a clue, echoed fabulous. A cordial button
nobody button told me was a ponzi scheme and I was gonna go to jail. Backup is not funny. We are not laughing at
so not asking whose is the now I'm being serious locally spectacles, the gonna happen to any body whenever ongoing doing financial transactions. I also get advice from Joe, but in fact
Indeed, DJ clue. Everybody knows that the lehman brothers of hip hop

Finally elected the next speaker, the house after twenty two days, fourteen candidates and for nominees house, republicans united to elect congressmen MIKE johnson of Louisiana, the new speaker of the house Republican finally neo conservative congressmen MIKE Johnson, and it's about time.
that's right! America's! You speak of the house.
Some dude named MIKE Johnson, obviously odd. As that sounds like the name, you give a hotel when you're checking in after having an affair. The day I married, my name is a mike Johnson. You rent rooms by the hour. Now, if you don't know my johnson, don't worry nobody.
does. What will we do know is that
it wants. Nationwide limits on abortion,
and he wants to criminalize gay sex. The even wants the band reggaeton, the I'm on the last one, the that seems like his vibe, because it comes off as a dick. The one other thing people know about this dude,
He was one of the main guys trying to steal the election for donald trump.
apparently he doesn't want to talk about that anymore. Johnson is a staunch trump ally who recruited republicans to sign on to efforts to overturn the two thousand and twenty election. I asked him if he stands by that boat, the right someone can get their nana. The first reaction. I was like damn. That was a lot, but then I learned the reporter who asked the question was black: that in order to make a little more sense, especially when I found out the shut up, lady is named virginia as she represents north carolina. That's a lot
southern heritage right there, I'll betcha. She was born of some small town, implantation, ville or something we were seaborne.

After borrowing more than a quarter of a million dollars from a wealthy friend, but a new report from democrats on the senate, finance committee alleges thomas's friend for gave a substantial amount of that massive loan and nine years later, his friend forgave, all the debt
The IRA has considers debt forgiveness as a form of income, but Thomas never reported it on his financial disclosure forms a likely violation of federal ethics rules and he never reported it on his tax returns, potentially owing money to the I r s as longtime friend, anthony welders, who loaned him that money he is defending this arrangement, saying quote: I loaned a friend money, we've all been on one side of the other. That equation,

Is that crazy, before the new yorker has one of these? I have to ask what george you're going to go on subsidies
I was a hero, the role the figure was alive was in the morning to eating lots of.
Yeah. Your way, let me get of blc mayonnaise salt, pepper extra tomato. You want me to say bacon.

and you have to work hard play hard and also just happen to be. Opinionated pull your own using your own standard definition of a new yorker you've passed the test. Thank you. You're now lead to a new yorker. I want you to walk down the street and bump into someone and not apologize. The bristol district, which includes parts of the bronx and queens. Please welcome congresswoman
Alexandria, cassio courts is always good to see you about we're going to see a bronze. I always good to see and hear disaster when starting to be adapted to how you been I've been good. I mean it's been won't. You know craven law
It's been a wild time in congress. What's it been like for you, because I see
social media- and you can just be like hey it's a sunny day and people like I hate you yeah, you know it's not that different than the six
train at midnight, and you know you get that practice right, but you still love what you do. I do in fact. I think I love it now more than ever have to ask you about the house speaker the battle.
from the outset. I have no idea was goin in cages, really quickly explain it. So republicans kicked out their speaker and now they can't
I need a new guy to run their group project there, like fighting with each other about it yeah now for a needle in the blanks. How does it affect them? So in terms of how this affects the bronx, we ve got a clock ticking on a government shut down, and if this gets us to a point of a government shut down, I mean that's real right. That's when we start seeing tia say and airports get affected. That's when people could potentially MR checks. So as this has really important forever.
I need to make sure that we get that pressure on, but also we need to make sure that we don't have people like Jim Jordan or extremists, because whoever takes over the house could potentially put our democracy in danger when it comes to certifying or recertifying an election, and so on. Gotcha
Now it old people say. Congress has really get anything done right now because of the shot down, but what we thus giving done before.
I know you been doing some filling an excellent question. I will say from
I republicans took over to now they provide.
A lot of meme content us by before that, when democrats were in the majority, we pass the largest climate package in american history.
We have thirty five dollars more people.
Made. Sure that's you know when the pandemic went through. We started the programme of child tax credits. Now we had some folks in the Senate shut that down, but when we take that
send it. We want to make sure that we have re, reestablish and expand those programmes back again to
that put some respect on respect on my name. I feel so. We just did a piece about the people running for how sweetener who you voting for
None of them casting my world for haiti
Jeffreys parents are inherent immigrants lifeline in your city bar mayor
big atoms he's. Ok,
hand or anymore, and here you represent one of the most diverse districts in congress? What can you do that?
level to help well. Here's the thing is that I think whether from from all parts of the political spectrum, one of the biggest issues that we have when it comes to immigration is the fact that we have an undocumented population. Now you can fix that by trying to build a wall,
or you can fix that by trying to document people and create a path to citizenship, the that might say look at these systems. You know that our shelter system has weight and things like that. But one of the reasons that our public systems experience wait is because people don't have a documented and reliable path to work and sustain themselves, just like all of our ancestors did and our and our grandparents and great grandpa
I always love. When people talk about like a well, you know my great grandfather came and he wrote his name raw
not a book and now he's a citizen and dying
we put two and two together that that our processing today are so difficult that they make our immigration process difficult, but that doesn't mean that immigrants do not create a positive contribution to our country and our economy.
Society, and so the answer should really be. We should make it easier to be legal, documented and a citizen of the united states in the rosemary talking to you. Thank you for coming, give it up for congress woman alive the look. This is an ad the differences, it's about eighteen,
