Hi everyone, this is Dr. Nitin Chhoda with
Ignition Time. In this video I'm
going to cover President Trump's
anticipated executive actions.
Why we need to essentially not have
too much hope in this and i'll tell you
why because the confines of presidential power
are highly limited. There's actually a
plane going over my head right now.
I actually live near a private airfield
where a lot of people
fly their planes up and down on
and off all the time.
But in this video I'm going to talk
about the executive actions that the
President is going to take, that's number 1.
Number 2, why we should probably
not get our hopes up too much because
the confines of Presidential power
are very limited and why the democrats
are saying that,
you know, they're going to challenge a
lot of what the
President is doing. So we'll get into
that but first of all
let's get into exactly what's happening
right now. The President has
has essentially said that he's going to
take unilateral action on unemployment
benefits extension,
on the eviction moratorium on extending
it as well as on the payroll tax cut
which actually is something that he wants
and a lot of republicans and democrats
aren't even behind that and he also
wants to do something on student loans.
Now remember
he did hold a press conference yesterday
and I'll play that clip for you so you
can watch it.
But at this point it was just a press
conference. No executive actions
have been taken yet.
So I think we need to just,
you know, be calm and look at this
situation as it unfolds because number
1, no executive actions have been taken
yet. Number 2, even if executive actions are
going to be taken
it remains to be seen how effective
they'll actually be. So
this is where things stand right now, as
far as the eviction moratorium is concerned
the President does have legal power to
to extend the eviction moratorium but
the Democrats have said the key is not
just the extension of the eviction moratorium
but to actually give money to renters
for assistance. So they want to give
renters money, that's number 1.
Number 2,
as far as the payroll tax cut is
concerned the President can,
in all probability, defer payroll taxes legally
but some Republicans have simply pointed
out, I mean
it's going to be due later. So the
chances are that businesses will just
hold cash
because they have a big bill coming up
later. Remember this is not a waiving
of the payroll tax,
this is a deferment of the payroll tax
that the President is talking about.
And also this doesn't help those who are
unemployed, this just helps those who are
employed, so you know
there's that. Number 3, as far as
unemployment benefit extensions are concerned
President Trump's options at this moment
in time seem to be very unclear. We don't
have a consensus yet. You know there's some
talk that hurricane relief money
can be moved.
There's some talk that the
the emergency unemployment relief
program that's activated under natural
disasters which is called the DUA
program. By the way this is not the same as
the PUA program. So again there's the DUA
program which is an emergency
unemployment relief program
that is activated during natural
disasters not to be confused with the
pua program
and not to be confused with the $600
federal unemployment booster.
Okay so let's not confuse the two. They
are similar, so there is some talk that
there could be hurricane relief money
moved over and so that's what's going on
right now.
A lot of things up in the air
right now let's go let's go into exactly
what the president said
and the president signaled that he was
ready to forge ahead without congress to
try and address the lapsed economic
relief measures
and he said if democrats continue to
hold this critical relief hostage
i will act under my authority as
president to get americans
the relief they need now he said this at
his private golf club
in bedminster new jersey and in fact
let's roll the tape and listen to
exactly
what the president said and let's watch
this right now
if democrats continue to hold this
critical relief hostage i will act under
my authority as president to get
americans the relief they need
and what we're talking about is
deferring
the payroll tax for
a period of months till the end of the
year and i can extend it
at a certain period hopefully i will be
here to
do the job we're going to do the job
we've been doing the job like nobody
could
nobody would actually and so we're going
to have the payroll tax go
till the end of the year and it'll be
retroactive
to july first so we're going to go back
to july 1st and it'll go to the end of
the year payroll tax
at the end of the year it may be
extended
we're going to enhance unemployment
benefits through the end of the year
so unemployment benefits will be that's
a big one
will be brought out to the
end of the year and defer student loan
payments and forgive interest
until further notice so students who are
paying student loans and in many cases
are not even
allowed to go back into their colleges
extend the eviction moratorium we will
be extending that
so people aren't evicted not their fault
now i just want to be clear a lot of
things
are still very uncertain from this press
conference at the press conference the
president said he was prepared to sign
executive orders that would pay
unemployment benefits through the rest
of the year
offer eviction protections that have
lapsed and also provide student loan
relief he said that
but however there were no details there
were no details on how this would work
to what extent the benefits
you know what exactly how much help
there would be and when it would be and
how long it would be so there was no
clarity on that he was specifically
asked to the government
would continue paying the 600 enhanced
unemployment benefit extension
that actually expired on the 31st of
july and he responded
i quote i won't say that yet
those are words from the president he
also said he wanted to sign an executive
uh an executive order that would defer
payroll taxes retroactively
from july through december of this year
it was unclear how this would work and
whether taxpayers would end up owing
all this money back in january of 2021
so again
there's no clarity right now uh the
president's press conference
was largely and is at this point largely
symbolic
we're going to wait to see if there is
anything this is why i want my viewers
and subscribers just i'm just going to
be honest with you i'm always 100
percent straight with you don't get your
hopes up right now uh the president
even if he does sign an executive order
we don't know exactly how much relief
there's going to be so
as you know whatever happened on capitol
hill there was a very bitter
unraveling of all of those talks and uh
there's been there's been a lot of
partisanship
with all of these stocks and uh steven
mnuchin said at this point we are going
to recommend to the president
that over the weekend we move forward
with some executive actions i did
analyze that
interview in in in a lot of detail
and mnuchin also said if you're talking
about compromise even with their
trillion dollar washington dc
magical way by the way this was meadows
excuse me uh
white house chief of staff mcmahon says
if you're talking about compromise even
with their trillion dollar washington dc
magical way of saying they are coming
down a trillion they can't
come up with any significant cuts in
their bill so there's a lot of
there's a lot of partisanship that's
going on right now and um
again there are no executive orders yet
but president trump did say that he's
going to be
uh that he's going to be issuing the
executive orders let me see
uh he did say that he again i'm just
going to emphasize these executive
orders unemployment benefits to be
extended until the end of 2020
he has said this but nothing has
happened yet and his specific words were
going to enhance unemployment benefits
through the end of the year
he said student loans will be deferred
interest will be forgiven
but he said he would only defer student
loan payments um
under under presidential executive order
but he would also like i said forgive
interest payments so
there's that and he talked about the
extension of the eviction moratorium now
the problem though is that democrats
have said that
the president's powers are limited on
stimulus
so um now lawmakers on both sides of the
aisle have agreed that the president can
indeed take executive action to limit
some evictions
but democrats say the president does not
have the authority
to act unilaterally on such matters is
what speaker nancy pelosi said
when she was talking to reporters she
said and i quote i don't think they know
what they are talking about
wow the one thing the president can do
is extend the moratorium and that would
be a good thing if there is money to go
with it
so she said if there is money to go
within and talked about that at the
start of this video the democrats don't
just want an extension
of the monatorium they want money to
renters
and she said and she let's see so
there's obviously there's a lot of
discontent on jobless aid
and this is what white house
spokesperson judd
dear said they said a legislative action
in other words agreement between
congress
and the senate leading to a bill that's
signed by the president that was the
goal
but president trump was and i quote
fully prepared to use his executive
authority to help those who continue to
be impacted
so again that is where things stand
right now so from senator schumer chuck
schumer he said we democrats believe
the patients need a major operation
while republicans want to apply a
band-aid
and we won't let them just pass the
band-aid go home and still leave america
bleeding i mean
these this kind of language is super
interesting it reminds me of my
of my of my uh you know of my high
school teacher and my college teacher
you know speaking in these kinds of uh
metaphors but uh you know you know you
know and i know what needs to be done
what is the need of the hour
and uh this is what mitch mcconnell said
the argument is over how much is
appropriate at this particular juncture
as we struggle to get the economy back
on its feet and get the country in a
place where it can
sustain itself until we get a vaccine i
mean that sounds good
but there needs to be an agreement so
people need to get help right
and the senate appropriations committee
chairman richard shelby
from alabama told reporters read an
impasse right now at this moment it does
not
look promising in this is what center
lindsey graham said
can you legally do it i'm for a payroll
tax cut i am very cautious about
executive orders lindsey graham
he's a very important republican okay
you know i don't want to bless one
i like because it may open up the
floodgates for things i don't like
interesting i'm going to repeat that
that was very interesting uh you know
lindsey graham you know i don't want to
bless one i like because it may open up
the floodgates for things i don't like
because you see um an executive order to
do something unilaterally
creates uh creates a cycle if you will
of
future executive orders not just from
this president but future presidents
that want to take unilateral action by
bypassing congress on important critical
issues like this
and a legislative issue like this is
probably the most important piece of
legislation
the country has ever seen since world
war ii that's that's the stage we are in
right now
and you know i you know i see i read a
lot of comments in the in the comments
section
and uh you know there's a lot of anger
there's a lot of frustration
there's a lot of animosity there's a lot
of toxicity out there
and my request for all my viewers or by
the way this is the end of the content
portion
of my of my video i'm going to try and
give you
some some of my insight on how we can
deal with this situation not just
financially but emotionally
so if you want to stick around you're
welcome to and also i have a song for
you because i did write a song that i'm
going to release for you guys
in this video today but i believe that
uh the amount of toxicity that exists in
this situation
is significant and i believe that at the
end of the day
um you know toxicity just breathes
breathes more and more more and more
anger more and more anguish i think that
i was reading or i read i read most of
our comments and i was reading one
particular comment from one of our
viewers and subscribers sarah from
connecticut
who said that she was going to be living
in hakai and that really struck a chord
with me i mean i
uh sarah i mean all of us our heart goes
out to you
and what really what really made me
encouraged was there were over 50
responses last time i checked
to sarah including an individual from
atlanta who said hey i'd love to be able
to help you here's my number i think
that
what we can do in this situation is try
try
to end the cycle of toxicity by trying
to help each other you commenting below
and interacting with other with other
viewers with other subscribers with
other fellow americans
is going to it's a small thing but it
matters
and if you guys want to go one step
further and maybe get in touch with each
other and help each other that's between
you all i
i don't even know how that works with
youtube i mean i guess the way that
could work is you could
send a message to someone in the thread
and once they contact you delete your
message because
obviously you know you don't want your
information to be out there publicly for
the whole world i don't know
how that works but i think the two
things that we can do right now
for each other for our fellow americans
is one offer
some understanding offer some hope offer
some healing
number two try and end the cycle of
toxicity try and end the cycle
of this anger this anguish and by the
way you may not succeed i just want to
be very clear
you may not succeed if you try and help
someone it's possible that there's so
much toxicity in their mind
through their past experiences through
maybe
they judge you for some reason whatever
it's okay it's okay if you try and
help someone and heal someone and then
they in turn reject you
or even lash out at you that's okay but
you do your part
by being kind by being loving by being
caring by being
giving but there's something simple you
could do is pick up the phone
and call someone you know say i'm just
checking to see how you're doing
send them a text message send them an
email those little things matter guys
those little things matter for me and
i've said this before i'll never get
sick of saying it
you might get sick of hearing it for me
it's not about the red or the blue it's
about the red white and blue
i'm not democrat i'm not republican i'm
american okay
um so i want you guys to just help each
other i want you guys to in the comment
section below
let's rally together let's let's comment
and help each other
you know obviously you may not want to
initiate contact with other people but
that's okay type in the comment section
below
type out what you're feeling type out
what you need help with
i'll chime in as best as i can others
will chime in and let's
let's let's help each other and you know
let's avoid
as far as possible let's you know it
doesn't help you know to to
name call the republican party or the
democrats it
it doesn't really help guys let's talk
about what we are facing let's talk
about what we need help with
and and let's try and help each other
through this crisis and
for me i'm in i'm in my backyard right
now and uh it is a beautiful day
so i wrote a song called daylight
actually um
and i'm going to release a song daylight
to you right now it's my gift to you i
hope you guys enjoy it
and i have written a few more songs that
i'll be releasing for
all my viewers and subscribers at
ignition time
this is where we stand right now i want
us to heal
i want us to get through this which we
will i want us to be healthy and happy
and i want us to be supportive of each
other we need to build a supportive
community
and we must end the cycle of toxicity
the cycle of toxicity is beginning now
and we have to do what we can to bring
an end to it we have to do
everything we can to to support each
other and to try and nip this in the bud
as best as we can and i do believe that
this entire experience is going to shake
our confidence in government for a long
time
but i think the solution here instead of
being negative is to look inwards be
positive and hopefully this can bring
out
the best in us because i believe we are
only as strong as our weakest moments
i do sincerely believe that i i mean i
run multiple companies i believe my
companies are as strong as the weakest
links
similarly i believe a human being is as
strong as their weakest moment and i
believe that if you can do your part
to end the toxicity again pick up the
phone talk to someone send a text
message to someone send an email to
someone
comment below and help other fellow
members and
by the way someone like sarah from
connecticut it takes guts to share what
you were sharing
and i think you're amazing and i think
you're incredible and i
uh i think you are as it doesn't matter
that you're struggling now and that
you're sleeping in your car
it's nothing to be humiliated about just
so that you know i've been homeless and
i've slept in my car
and so i know what that feels like
there's nothing embarrassing about that
i believe that you sharing that took a
lot of guts
and i want you to know that uh you know
what you did was incredible and we are
all
here to support you i'm here to support
you
and um i think that we should all rally
behind each other
sarah feel free to comment below
everybody else feel free to comment
below
let's end the cycle of toxicity let's
support each other because this is
this is the end of one phase of our
lives the financial dependence
on on um on government if you will
uh the the inability to save right and
this is the beginning of a new chapter
of our lives and that's where i will
take you and that's why i will lead you
