Alabama's Morning News with JT
Erin Real informs us about the migrants in the suburbs and the high paying summer jobs
Aaron Reall joins us now who we talk to every morning from Connect to Kit. It is even warm in the Northeast. I saw the map Aaron yesterday was watching the National News and they showed a weather map and it's the whole country. And the whole thing is bright red. It's like, Oh my gosh, even up north they're going through this. And you guys were having hail storms. I was got floods in the whole country is in the 90s. If not hotter these days. So how is your weather over the weekend? Steemie. They see me. Steemie. Now I'm a weirdo. I like like southern weather. I think your weather is it's fine by me. Yep. And I have to spend half a year in a sweater. But I welcome this. Most people do not. I like southern weather too. I'm not going back to the snow. I say that knock on wood. There is no reason to be in the snow. If you don't have to be I, you know, I'm done. I grew up in Pittsburgh and had, you know, the lake effect from Lake Erie and Pittsburgh is full of snow during the winter. We know that. So I'm just fine with it too. But this is insane, especially when the ozone levels get crazy. And yeah, I mean, I can't get dangerous. It can get really dangerous. So like I have a lot of sympathy because not everywhere up here is set up for you guys. I'm good AC down there too. Extremely good AC. That's for sure. I remember growing up at Pittsburgh. We didn't have AC until like, you know, 15 years into living there. But then we finally got it. Well, I guess that was the beginning of global warming. All right. So there you go. Speaking of dangerous how about all these illegals now spreading into the suburbs has been saying it forever. It's just a matter of time before it comes into your front yard. And we see the recent crimes that are being committed by these guys. People are dying because of these illegals. And I'm so sick of people talking about them like they're undocumented immigrants. Now they're illegal aliens. They're coming in here illegally. So now the suburbs are getting an influx of it. Yes, we all knew that it hit Chicago and New York and border towns. But now it's like every every county is a border county or a border state. Denton County in Texas, that's outside of Dallas. Their new cases of migrants balloon 16 fold King County outside Chicago 17 fold Rutherford County outside of Nashville 20 fold. The list goes on and on and on. And what this does is whether you're a big city and candle it, which they can't anymore or a small town in a municipality, it streams the resources. And you're hearing from hospital executives who say it's taking a financial toll. And then it's burdening schools. It's heightening demand and what's like already a super tight housing market. But I think some of the interesting one, JT, and the one I'd like to focus on is Utah. Because Utah, there are many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Mormons. And they actually have a tradition of welcoming refugees. So they have way more policies that are favorable towards migrants than you see in most conservative states. But even there, this rush of arrival, it's been so sudden, it has been so pronounced. And it's really testing their principles. Well, here's the plan, you know, follow the law. How about that? Common sense, I think is what needs to be happening here. We're completely ignoring the way we have it set up. If you want to talk about immigration reform, then do that. But in the meantime, you can't just throw caution to the wind and just say, all right, let's just let them in. I mean, we need to be humanitarian. Don't we? Well, the problem is they're coming from over 170 nations and a bunch of them. A lot of them are bad actors in the world. And they're getting into this country one after another. So yeah, it's nice that we're the melting pot of the world and the American dream is still alive and well. But we're just out of control right now. And it's ruining this country. I mean, the toothpaste is out of the tube. If Trump were president tomorrow, the border would be shut down and instantly. But I'm not sure how you fix what's already, you know, needle and the damage done as Neil Young said. All right, let's quickly talk about what's going on here with the summer side hustles. I saw this and you can make as much as $100,000 a year with a side hustle. Please fill me in. I know this is not scoping ice cream. This is not lifeguarding. Totally different. But I'm going to focus on the two that I think are the strongest. So we are seeing you can rent your pool if you're lucky enough to have a pool, maybe make some extra bucks off of it. There is an app called Swimply. This cracks me up, but you can rent your pool by the hour. There's one individual CNBC talked to a bunch of these people and one individual said that he put in $100,000 pool made $177,000 in two years. Not only did he, you know, recoup the loss, he made 77 g's. So that's pretty incredible. And the second one when yeah, I know I'm like, Hey, that's not terrible. I just I don't know. There's something there's a price for everything, whether or not it's like your backyard barbecue or your pool. But it seems like it seems like a very personal space to have a lot of people. And the second one, your car, also a very personal space to just let strangers use. But we live in this like let's borrow and rent myself type environment. There's an app called Pero, which you can earn well over 10 g's a month if you have more than one car on it. And you don't have to drive anyone anywhere. They come and they pick up the car. What's cool about this is that you set your own rate. So depending on your car and your value, like how you value it, you set it higher or lower. But if you're willing to undercut the market for rental cars, you can absolutely bring in a serious chunk of change. Oh, I wonder if you got to have all kinds of permits to be able to do all this. I'm not sure I want to put you know, strangers in my backyard or in my car. You know, next thing you know, they're coming through the sliding glass door. I need some more soft drinks and snacks So gang out here at the polls getting hungry. No thanks.
