Podcasts about SAFE Act

With the Safe Act introduced on the federal level advocates are sounding the alarm about how this legislation violates human rights for marginalized communities and others. In 2022 our Blaise Bryant spoke with Keith Gurgui about some of the long-standing barriers people with disabilities face when casting their ballot.

There are major moves happening in Washington DC regarding voting and election handling in the country. Those actions include executive orders and the SAFE Act. We talked about the trickle-down effect these could have on Connecticut with Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas. Image Credit: Eric Urbanowicz

While Missouri House Republicans are coming big wins last week and another House GOP supermajority in January, one of its members says the Speaker-designee should not be Speaker. State Rep. Justin Sparks (R-Wildwood) appeared live on 939 the Eagle's "Gary Nolan show", telling listeners that House Speaker-designee Jon Patterson (R-Lee's Summit) was elected during an informal caucus vote a year ago, where the freshman GOP candidates who were elected to the House last week did not vote. Rep. Sparks, who was first elected to the Missouri House in 2022, slammed Patterson on-air on initiative petition reform, guns and transgender issues. Representative Sparks tells Mr. Nolan that the next speaker must be ready to tackle Amendment Three, adding that Patterson voted against the SAFE Act, which involved transgender youth. Representative Sparks also criticized the Missouri House Republican Campaign Committee (HRCC) during the interview:

Megan Basham, an author and reporter for the Daily Wire, joins The Narrative podcast to answer these questions in the context of her new book, Shepherds for Sale.

Before the conversation, Aaron, David, and Mike uncover how the children's hospitals' gender clinics have changed following the enactment of the SAFE Act, and how the media is ignoring the savings school choice is providing Ohio.

Only You Can Save Owner Financing in TexasIt's a sad day when a regulatory body in Texas is working against property and business owners to make it extremely difficult to get an owner-financing transaction done. That's what it going on right now with the Texas Savings & Mortgage Lending Department (which handles licensing issues for mortgage companies and loan officers) which is proposing rule changes that would adversely affect your ability to sell your property, land, or business on seller financing.Link to the Seller Financing Coalition & Letter CampaignWatch the original video HERE!Currently, numerous proposed rule changes would harm future Texas home buyers, particularly those who are currently not well served by the financial services industry due to demographic and economic factors. These proposed rule changes will also hurt numerous small business owners and private home sellers. Two examples of harmful rule changes are:A. The Department's new regulation requiring that all RMLO (Registered Mortgage Loan Originator) agents work for a bank or mortgage company harms Texas citizens in multiple ways.1. RMLOs can no longer be self-employed despite their own efforts to become licensed professionals.2. All prospective buyers must now seek to fit within the narrowing loan requirements imposed by banks and mortgage companies, etc. This denies access to credit to many hard-working people who are a) self-employed, b) buying vacant land, c) have lower incomes, and d) using multi-generational resources to qualify for homeownership loans.3. It means private individuals or small businesses that already own homes or properties cannot hire an RMLO to qualify potential buyers as part of a seller-financing transaction. This prevents such sellers from complying with Dodd-Frank.B. To legally meet the growing demand for non-bank financing on homes and vacant land numerous individuals rely upon seller financing. Private individuals or small businesses in Texas who offer seller-financing for homes or land to other Texans, frequently use independent RMLOs. Using these independent RMLOs protects both the Buyer and the Seller.Given these facts, the following proposed language in “§56.100 Licensing Requirements” is rather harmful.“However, if the lender owns the residential real estate securing the loan and has exceeded the limit for exempt transactions as provided by Finance Code §156.202(a-1) (3), the lender must be licensed under Finance Code Chapter 156, regardless of whether the lender has secured the services of an originator as provided by this subsection.”This proposed verbiage goes beyond the SAFE Act and Dodd-Frank requirements and imposes a harsh “scarcity penalty” on disadvantaged buyers by severely restricting the number of properties that a non-lender seller can sell using seller finance. This harsh and unnecessary restriction on what private citizens in Texas can do (sell) with their own houses and land is unwarranted. In a time of shrinking inventory and rising demand removing assets and liquidity from the market place is harmful to all Texans.Here are some reasons an individual or small business will hire an RMLO as part of a seller-financed transactionA. The RMLO ensures that all Dodd-Frank regulations are followed for both the lender and the borrower (homeowner).B. The RMLO agent makes sure the borrower (homeowner) is economically qualified to buy (has the ability to pay) and understands the specifics of the loan.C. Not using an RMLO allows unsavory lenders to take advantage of naïve borrowers.D. Not using an RMLO may cause individuals or small Texas businesses to unknowingly violate Dodd-Frank and face federal charges and/or penalties that could cause financial duress, or unintentionally destroy and close small Texas businesses.Love the show?

In this episode of The MHP Broker's Tips and Tricks podcast, Maxwell Baker, president of The Mobile Home Park Broker, interviewed Kirby Horton. As president and CEO of The Firm, Inc., Kirby is involved in acquiring, developing, and operating manufactured home communities. As with every Tips and Tricks Closing Cocktails podcast episode, this one is brought to you by The MHP Broker's proprietary Community Price Maximizer. Use this four-step system to get the highest price possible for your mobile home park or RV community when you sell it through The MHP Broker. Guaranteed. Call Max for details. Here Are the Show Highlights: - Kirby Horton serves as the park acquisition lead and project manager at his company, The Firm, in Franklin Tennessee. Kirby has worked deals with Max's company. (Max, 0:22) - In reviewing his career path. Krby explained how he almost accidentally got into his current line of work. He earned a degree in Economics, then spent the next 20 to 25 years in financial services. Over time, he started to see that field becoming a commodity and the possibility for making a good living shrinking. He began to feel bored and less able to use his creativity. (Kirby, 1:35) - As a voracious reader, Kirby eventually stumbled on a book by Lonnie Scruggs, the legendary mobile home investor and author. (Kirby, 2:49) - Following the Lonnie Scruggs pattern, Kirby made a part-time job of buying cheap mobile homes and selling them on a rent-to-own (RTO) basis. His first sale, of a mobile home he paid $800 for, was to a park manager who has, since 1009, been Kirby's employee for the longest tenure. (Kirby, 3:2) - Over time, Kirby bought and sold on RTO contracts a total of maybe 50 or 60 mobile homes. He'd spend the first week of every month knocking on doors and getting rent from his RTO contract holders. - When the SAFE Act regulation of Dodd Frank came out in 2008, Kirby realized that would pretty much kill his mode of business. zThe purpose of the SAFE Act was to regulate those who sell housing, and the rules and requirements were so complicated and involved that he figured he'd have to redirect the way he moved forward. (Kirby, 4:49) - That's when Kirby began buying mobile home parks. He lost his shirt on that first deal, but learned plenty. For starters, he learned that owning communities isn't “mailbox money” a matter of just waiting for the checks to arrive by letter carrier. It's harder than that, and there's much more to do to successfully run a park. (Kirby, 5:21) - In describing a park deal he worked with Max's company, Kirby mentioned that a community that was shaky when he first bought it is now stabilized, with 100 percent occupancy and 90 percent collections and only responsible residents. (Kirby, 7:17) - When he bought it, the community was all park-owned homes (POH). One of the first things Kirby did was determine who he wanted living there and who he wanted out in order to clean up the community and improve the culture. He also turned all of the POHs into opportunities for the preferred residents to buy them. (Kirby, 7:37) - Kirby basically had only three park rules, and those who couldn't follow them were evicted. The rules were, be a good neighbor…keep your yard clean…and pay your rent on time. (Kirby, 7:56) - Kirby enjoyed working with his good tenants, and either getting money upfront or working out payment plans so they could own their homes and he was only dealing with lot rent. Some of the homes were in such poor condition that he literally gave them to his tenants. His dream is that eventually the community (and others he owns) will become so stabilized that people will be proud to live there and fond of their childhood memories in a manufactured home community. (Kirby, 8:39) - Max observed that his start in the industry was much like Kirby's, including being heavily influenced by Lonnie Scruggs books. (Max, 10:10) - Asked whether he's ever tried syndication as a way of raising acquisition capital, Kirby said that it makes him nervous if he has to report to major investors. His preference is to go one deal at a time, with him and his family usually the sole investors on reasonably small deals. In the case of larger deals, he might bring together one or two friends who can invest, but he stays away from large pools of investors. (Kirby, 11:45) - Asked if he buys new or used homes for his parks, Kirby said that he'd love to be able to find affordable higher-quality used homes, but they're almost impossible to find. Even if he could, they would each cost about $20,000 to $30,000 to buy and move in. (Kirby, 13:31) - Kirby mentioned some of the new home manufacturers he uses, and highlighted Hamilton Homes out of Hamilton, Alabama for how they came through when the supply chain was held up after Covid. He also had words of praise for Champion Homes, and Clayton for the high quality of their homes. Kirby said that the quality of new mobile homes today is generally as good as he's ever seen. (Kirby, 14:21) - He says that talk of mobile homes depreciating like cars is false, and that a good quality mobile home, properly installed and cared for, will maintain its value for a long time. (Kirby, 15:12) - Stabilized lot rents should be set at $400 a month, bare minimum. (Kirby, 17:20) Kirby resents experts who talk about “value add” as solely a matter of raising rents and metering the water. Where's the value in that for tenants? While that kind of revenue raising sometimes must be done, he thinks park owners need to also create value for tenants by improving the communities, not just making them costlier to live in.. (Kirby, 18:01) - Asked by Max if he'd consider selling to a developer who wanted to turn the property into more expensive apartment units, Kirby said he'd probably sell if it was profitable As a business person, it's his responsibility to keep his company healthy. (Kirby, 21:35) - Kirby said that, upon further consideration, that he might first go to the local government after receiving such an offer. He'd explain that he's now offering affordable housing to families that would probably be displaced, and what can the local authorities do in terms of zoning and other issues to help him be able to responsibly reject the offer and expand instead. (Kirby, 22:50) - In 2022, Kirby's company bought and installed 500 new homes in parks around the country. The rate has slowed somewhat since then, but they're still very active. (Kirby, 31:34) The lower number of homes purchased and installed is inversely related to rising interest rates.

Power Quotes in This Episode: (On Kiry Horton's desire to improve the communities he owns.) “We want to create memories for those young kids that we want them to have a safe, fun place to grow up.” (Kirby, 10:02) (On his reluctance to bring in outside investors.) “It's one thing to follow your gut when it's your money. Yeah, it's somebody else's money, you better be following something more than just your gut.” (Kirby, 11:45) “I'll lose my own money, but I sure would hate to lose someone else's.” (Kirby, 13:05) “The quality of new homes is just so great today, there's just no comparing a (manufactured) hom today to even ten years ago. The quality is that much better.” (Kirby, 14:21) “If that new home, if it's a quality home, and it's placed properly and installed properly, in the right location, will maintain its value over many, many years.” (Kirby, 15:12) “Once you clean the place up…as you're doing that, (residents) know what the rent increase is coming. It's just…a whole lot easier to swallow and to deliver if you've (first) improved their community.” (Kirby, 1801) (On raising rents without improving communities.) “I see a lot of investors do that. Typically, it's the ones that are on razor-sharp margins when they buy that kind of stuff.” (Max, 19:35) “If the media is going to interview me, I want it to be because of the progress that we've made because of improving the neighborhood, improving the community, not because I'm a carpetbagger, or somebody who's trying to gouge the poor.” (Kirby, 20:39)

Following the Governor's veto of the Save Women's Sports Act and SAFE Act (HB68), CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, and Communications Director Mike Andrews sat down for an emergency episode of The Narrative podcast to discuss what happened and what's next for this critical bill. Listen in to get the answers to questions including: In 2018, the original version of the SAFE Act–the Vulnerable Child Protection Act–was politically unpalatable. What has changed since then to make it common-sense legislation? What happened behind the scenes as the Save Women's Sports Act and SAFE Act went through the Ohio General Assembly? Why did Governor DeWine veto HB68? How can we still get HB68 passed into law? As Mike mentioned during the conversation, you can listen to our episodes with Scott Newgent and Chloe Cole and Prisha Mosley for additional context to the heart-wrenching consequences that HB68 would prevent. Take Action: Overriding the Veto Take 60 seconds to send a message to your State Senator and Representative to encourage them to act quickly and override the Governor to protect kids from dangerous puberty-blocking drugs, wrong-sex hormones, and transgender surgeries, and to preserve the integrity of women's sports by protecting female athletes from having to compete against biological males.

“Ultimately, this is a dumping ground. The industry is not going to be spending money on horses that are going to be killed for human consumption, so ultimately, in their last six months, they suffer. They suffer terribly.” – Gemunu de Silva     In the United States we do not eat horse meat and we do not slaughter our horses, but we seem to be fine with letting other countries slaughter and eat our horses. We send our live horses to Mexico and Canada to be slaughtered and their meat is then sent to Europe and Japan for consumption.     This makes zero sense for a horse loving country. What are we doing? Why are we letting other countries torture, kill and eat our horses?   There's a way to stop this madness. A bipartisan bill called the Save Americans Forgotten Equines Act (SAFE) that has been introduced to Congress. If it passes, it will not only ban horse slaughter in the US by law, but it would also prohibit the exportation of our horses for slaughter.   This conversation is with Gemunu DeSilva. Gem's been on the podcast before, this is his fourth appearance. I asked him to come on the show this time because his organization, Tracks Investigations, recently conducted their fourth investigation into Canada's largest horse slaughter plant. Gem explains what happens to these US horses once they arrive in Canada. It's worse than you can imagine.   LINKS: Tracks Investigations: https://www.tracksinvestigations.org/   SAFE Act petition https://www.speciesunite.com/save-american-horses-from-slaughter   SAFE Act https://www.safe-act.org/   SpeciesUnite.com

Sandra Richardson knows first-hand how screwed up New York's SAFE Act is when it comes to gun ownership and mental health. The longtime RN and public health researcher joins Cam to talk not only about her experience with having her gun taken from her after talking to a mental health professional, but the impact that the law is having in keeping gun owners away from treatment while failing to address or help those who truly are at risk of harming themselves or others.

If you've wondered what you can do to help save wild horses from slaughter, then this episode is for you. I'm interviewing Susan Wagner about the 2021 SAFE (Save America's Forgotten Equines) Act.   Susan Wagner founded Equine Advocates after discovering the horse-meat slaughter industry for horses, ponies, donkeys and mules. As you'll hear, this is a very complex issue that affects all horses. From banning horse meat consumption for humans and pets to intrastate transport to slaughterhouses on Indian Reservation land, the urgency of the matter cannot be understated and it truly deserves your support.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/12

The Honorable Betsy DeVos, former U.S. Secretary of Education, sat down with Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) President Aaron Baer at the 2023 Celebration Gala in Columbus just a few weeks ago. Thanks to her leadership, we've seen dramatic school choice expansions over the last 20 years in Ohio, and now we could see the Backpack Bill–a universal education freedom initiative–enacted. There have been few school choice leaders in the public square like The Honorable Betsy DeVos, so we wanted her keynote remarks and this conversation to be available on a special episode of The Narrative. Before the interview, Aaron, Communications Director Mike Andrews, and Policy Director David Mahan unpack the SAFE Act, a bill to ban the experimental and dangerous practice of giving children puberty-blocking drugs and wrong-sex hormones for the purpose of “gender transitioning,” and why the opponent hearing this week was actually good for the bill's progress. They also honor Tim Keller and discuss the need for Christians to be engaged in culture and politics.
