come one come all we're going to have a ball on the spotlight right now this week on the spotlight chalk overruled why the president says he has the power to overturn the fourteenth amendment to and the right to u s citizenship for children born in the united states tend not to since moved that most legal experts say would not a fowl of the constitution in other words he's trying to terminate the fourteenth amendment and he has the power to do sell take up some legal scholars believe you can get rid of both right citizenship without tension in the constitution consecutive border exactly right have you thought about that yes t saying i can do it just with an executive order you know how ridiculous with the only cunt in the world where a person comes in and has a baby and the baby is essentially a citizen of the united states for eighty five years with all of those benefits it's ridiculous  immunities of citizens of the united states nor shall any state deprive any person by their body or property without due process of law nor deny to any person with its jurisdiction the equal protection of certain amendment i don't like he's the only would i want to like he does that's right the moves he makes to try to make this country the best it can bring enough to the table i feel like enough is enough at this me personally this presidency that he has i feel he take he's taking it as a joke that's how i'm seeing and i feel like because he has the power to do these things he's being so blunt about it and you can obviously see through his twitter accounts through his social media what he writes what how he presents himself pretty much in the comments that he makes and remarks that he states it's just he's not taking it seriously and comparing him to obama if obama was to do half of the things that he did he would he would have  to me especially his attacks on the media let's not forget sadly c n n insulting them and things like that it's just but one thing i can say though he is bringing these people that are hiding their true colors out in the open because of his presidency it's it's insane that he's even thinking about doing something like this and i'm not surprised at all i'm not even it's  pretty much where you were born is where you know you that's where you belong that's your birth right so being a citizen where you were born into your birth right and he's taking that away something that our people back and they have fought for for so long and now he's just just like dating men out there like it's nothing like it doesn't mean anything you should just take it away thanks it's just it's kind of hurtful to think that he's since that heartless i mean i mean we learn about all the time about the certain limits obviously the first one is pretty simple free of out there and fight and speak protest do everything you can to get your voice heard because of you taking away a four from the fourteenth amendment which no president correct me if i'm wrong as he never did then it's time for him to go and with piggybacking on what you're saying about how the youth should stand up and actually go and like take action about this one thing that after these after the past midterms i can say that our voice actually does matter like it shows that when we come together and we fight for something that we really want we can actually get it and that that was proven with the midterm elections and the results so i'm i'm happy to see that you know now the youth the young generation our generation is actually standing up and doing something to make a change and it doesn't and here you know for some people that this is their first time voting and i'm happy that they were that they voted because this is something huge this is another thing yet another thing that we fought for back in the day to have the right to vote so you know exercising your rights and protesting you know doing these things that can actually help our community is the best thing that our you can do and i'm glad that our youth is actually doing doing something about it if we have time isn't that the reason why you made the spotlight because of a show like this for to that the you understand of what is happening in our society because some of what the issue is what is happening today can affect the youth and the youth may have a say on that and i think even the loved ones and their families  sometimes even with if they're close friends so they're not there and so that's why it's always important for you to get your voice out there in the public and at times during elections get out and vote and that's all  the doctor's office ok so let's get right into it the easiest way to survive as don't go really my first real to is to listen to some call banal lyrical music composers like bob zimmer have all been proven to help brain relax and increase focus i guess ourselves my next step is to pick a time to say that because as that with when you study will help you get in the habit of that the best time to study is from to mention the food is going to make my textbook dirty it's a guaranteed way to help you you know even though we talk about talk politics on the show it's always ok to lay not talk about politics and you know we were discussing during the break about why it's ok to mention politics with the youth because the youth needs to watch the news more frequently but there are times where you may want to take the politics off the table here the barefoot contessa shift and the girl who used to work for president under presidents ford and carter as a nuclear budget analyst says that she never talks politics when she does something entertaining with her gets here so do you think it's getting difficult to not talk about any politics or get into and there was a quote that she said she said new worry about your diet and i worry about my and that's how i feel about politics and i felt like her saying that being when you talk about politics that's when you can judge based on your beliefs and instead of respecting other people's opinions and who they will they choose to support it whether republican or democratic you know things like that and for her to say that i feel like she has a point like you said you don't want to bring up politics because it's something to take a very sensitively because when you're getting into a discussion about your beliefs and that person's talking about their beliefs somehow you guys tend to class people tend to clash on that and they don't respect each other's opinions they just assume no i'm right and here's why i write a b and c so i don't party like you so there's a time and place for time i don't want to be talking about politics most policy of revolving around trump and just a lot of bad things are going on within society so if i want to party i'm going to have fun i don't want to talk about those kind of boring you know and like she said apparently she gave me i we exchanged contacts your son and you see that's the crazy but especially when you talk about politics we're over the phone with individuals like you say you guys both have you going to have disagreements but it's like especially is going to get so heated sort of point and one of you guys are going to hang up over the phone right and that's what i learned here because it's like when it's ok you can have your disagreements but this lake respect each other you got you still got me still give respecting you know you still got it like it's fine that's their opinion they're just sharing their opinion and sharing what you feel people tend to take it the wrong way when you're just expressing how you feel what you would your beliefs and that's where the boundaries tend to have to be like you know there's a line that needs to be like set where disaster tips from the objects left behind my home was short but you can check your insurance policy now to make sure your home my safe as of last but you can put money aside and this week's guiding spotlight will be shining light and discuss the changes many urban neighborhoods are facing in today's society here in new york city jennifer cation is happening all over but begin years ago gentrification off  neighborhoods racial and ethnic composite composition composition and average household income by developing new more expensive housing businesses improved resources what do you think of jennifer  about it when you got i was going to be out there when you have more white people moving into a black community that leaves sort of rents you know sky and rent goes up that forces the black out at least some more white people in harlem there's it's being gentrified where the buildings are being renovated they're being made up and then i call it what it is that are white are moving in and they're trying to kick my mother out because you know they're trying to raise the rent once the lease is up they put the money up just to be like oh you don't want to leave yaniv and that's what causes african americans to tend to move further into the bronx and that's why the bronx is giving credit and it's it's sad to think that there are gentrifying in the neighborhood you know for white people  income housing that they're building you know those are for particularly african americans that are you know minorities that don't have the right amount of money to pay for the rent and pay their bills and things like that so they're building they're building a lot of housing within the community and the for some individuals especially because you're constantly renting it for so long i guess zero point was ok i mean all i've been living here rinsing rents and renting i need something that's mine you know because if you think about listen if you're paying seven hundred a month and you do seventeen hundred times twelve and you look at the i don't know the total of the off the top if you look at the total of that within one year the c d s of damn well are going to put that's was a house you know and i feel like that motivates you know a lot of young individuals to say like a some point i want to get my own house because it comes into play like ok with water all of that but the fact is that you're paying something that's yours at the end of the day and you're living in the comfort of your own place you never had to feel disgusted right and i feel like will makes people discuss that where they live is the people who are living there you have to this think about this is just a building made out of bricks oh you got to do is live there and if you have people disrespecting where you live they obviously don't respect you where you live because they know you live in this area but they just don't respect because they know openly duce joints in the bronx there are having like fancy places like you know pole in the bronx and things like that that having led by clinton like bikes for them because you know african american they deserve these things as well to if you're trying to get the community to be healthy why not do it within within you know that is respect but all i have to say like i wish like you know like our you know colored people and things like that you know have a little bit more like obviously like you know where a lot of us is not like that and then some of us are let's keep it robe you know maybe if they hundred residents a majority you of them are latino the point ninety percent this is this is from one reading here but it's basically they're talking about like this sunset sunset park and you know i'm familiar with sunset park ride in grew up in sense since the park i was born like on park slope or something but they grew up in crown heights all my life and i remember this like crown heights start to crown heights started changing go into the i guess twenty ten or somethin oh no i'm sorry and it's like because you know you have like the skating rink that was there and then has been building where storage buildings are coming up in your more caucasians coming in to live in the area it's changed has changed over the years too and you know what i dislike about i mean we need people where you live that you had a conversation with someone like this in my family maybe a couple months back like for example if you tell someone that oh i live in manhattan and the and specifically be talking to a white person and obviously you're black you're automatically going to say well he definitely no limits and he delivered a harlem washington sad that people are viewed like that but it's the world that we live in and it's normal and i do it sometimes too and i'm not going to lie i sit on the train and if i see someone and i see them in a certain way i will assume that they're just either this type person i want to have person  to be a certain way then it's tough for them to do it right here wish i could send you this interesting conversation another time but we'll be right back  let's just respect people in everyday life but just being  there's a place where the power of video takes on new meaning a place where your voice matters and your

forward slash today welcome back you know that was an interesting guy the spotlight segment that we did hear you i mean it's been a while since we've done this year you know we haven't had any gods spotlight segments in a very long time since like last you know thanksgiving is coming up and i just want to bring up something here just so you know if anyone of you are interested in attending the thanksgiving day parade is thursday november twenty second  around thirty fourth street herald square and then or you could just watch it live on n b c between nine am and twelve noon right before the national talk and i've watched that and you can watch reruns of the spotlight right you know topics that is released to headline news pop culture so please welcome the one and only jesse vega very very very busy man how do you juggle it all i think it's all about scheduling yourself and having a plan and i think that's the issue of a lot of people in the entertainment where it's like they go with the flow right and the way i see say ok so within three months i want to do this and then after that i will do this and for more months and then six more so it's possible you can juggle it all you can do it all and if anybody tells you you cannot do it then so there's something wrong with  art for you like it was the beginning that made you realize this is what you want to do since actually since i was the age of two years old i always wanted to do it i mean my idol started off with oprah winfrey so she was favorite entertainment show and public access presented by the all the awards yes and tell us that experience when that happened it was it was kind of like shocking because so when an award to do something really have done this ok so what what advice do you have for someone who wants to be a triple threat like you because pretty much you are a triple threat i just say just go with whatever your heart tells you your motivation and don't let anybody tell you that it's not possible because when people are so you know that means it's a yes because there's a fear that they feel they're used to something that you already good at and they don't know how it's going to behave going to do if you do something different that is i think it could go in this industry you know like some people they all go to school do this and i feel like that's just like a kind of like what everybody else is doing is commercial just like go to school and get an education i think that you should not because it's always good to learn every day but us entertainers just like what we did so it's like there's two types of brain brain ways that we use like there's the creative side and there's like the logical side what we do here is the creative side some people don't understand that then when we had a math class well like there's a shelter pet who wants to meet you meet one today visit the shelter pet project that org adopt and don't forget we need to laugh to
