Summary
The migrant crisis. On Wednesday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) claimed that an influx of an estimated 110,000 asylum seekers from the southern border was going to “destroy” the Big Apple, saying he did not see a pathway toward fixing the issue. Adams’ comments come as New York continues to try to absorb an influx of migrants who are coming to the city and are now being housed in various shelters, hotels, office buildings, and parks across the five boroughs. Because New York is the only major city in the country with a “right to shelter” law, the cost of sheltering anyone who needs it rises with every new entrant.

| 0:44.8 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take. I'm your host, Isaac Saul. And on today's episode, we're going to be talking about the migrant crisis, more specifically what's happening in New York and some other Democratic-run cities across the country, what people are saying about it, |
| 1:12.5 | and how the Biden administration might need to address it. |
| 1:16.3 | Before we jump in today, a couple of things I want to give a heads up on. |
| 1:19.1 | First of all, in Wednesday's podcast last week, I apparently said the unemployment rate |

| 1:34.4 | 2022, not February 2020. We had this correct in the newsletter, but I think I just misread it on the |
| 1:41.3 | podcast. This is actually one of the first times, maybe the first time ever, |
| 1:45.0 | we've had a correction in the podcast and not in the newsletter. So I don't have our normal |
| 1:50.2 | correction count for this. It was a small thing, but I just wanted to make note of it. So you guys |
| 1:55.0 | were aware and to maintain some of our transparency. Also, on Friday, we published what is |
| 2:00.5 | turning out to be a little bit of a |
| 2:01.8 | controversial members-only piece about climate change activism and the right ways and the wrong |
| 2:09.0 | ways to protest, quote-unquote. I'm not sure exactly the best way to sum the article up, |
