They have, you know, feeling wages stagnating compared to prices, see rising housing costs, you see worsening health care. And I do not believe that we had a consistent enough Democratic Party message that said, no, Housing prices aren't going up because of immigrants, they're going up because of Wall Street. We didn't say clearly enough, hey, you're not dealing with stagnating wages because of immigrants. You're dealing with stagnating wages because of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. (09:11–09:17)

CLAIM

Asserts that Wall Street, not immigrants, is responsible for rising housing prices.
