Most people don't realize, but just in 2016 alone, there were approximately 43 million visitors to Southern Nevada.

I just want to put that in your ear. That is a concern of mine and something I will be looking out for.

So what you are saying does concern me because of the fact that Nevada was a foreclosure crisis, Ground Zero for the foreclosure crisis.

So, in other words, are you envisioning a role for private equity capital to invest in the future housing growth and mortgages and housing for individuals and homeownership?

I appreciate that, and I will be brief because you have done an incredible job.

I created the Home Again program--and it still is in existence in the State of Nevada--to provide financial literacy and help to homeowners.

Do you believe that low-income Americans should have a limit to public assistance?

That does not sound like to me somebody who is vegetating in public housing.

I appreciate you taking the time to come to my office and sit with me, and in that meeting, you made a number of statements, like you have this morning, on your vision for HUD and how the Department would or would not intervene in…

Including the new HUD rule that requires local communities to assess their own patterns of racial and income segregation and make genuine plans to address them?

Good, so you would continue to enforce it aggressively?

There is a long and well-documented history of patterns and policies of segregation of minorities in our neighborhoods.

In your role as the leader of HUD, will you promise to protect the LGBTQ community from discrimination?

Disadvantaged Business Enterprises are important for me.

Would you commit to coming to Nevada and making a visit and looking at what's happening there?

This is an important issue and economic driver in developing new technology.

I would like to know your thoughts and commitment in working with us in how we address that issue.

I wanted just to get a commitment from you on support for Interstate 11, and what role do you see for Federal assistance to fund projects of regional significance such as Interstate 11?

I am very excited to be a new Member on the Committee, and I look forward to working with all of you and my colleagues as well.

What I just cited to you was a report that came out in January 1, 2017, before you or President Trump were even in office.

After nine months of being his biggest supporter and realizing now that Donald Trump's ship is sinking, and now he's trying to scurry off it to save his own political career. No, you don't get credit for that.

The State Attorneys General have been active, too, filing suit against certain colleges for deceptive marketing and aggressive recruiting tactics.

The Order directed the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Education... to take steps to enable servicemembers, veterans and their families to get the information they need.

I spoke with a woman from the VA Regional Office there who was overseeing vocational rehabilitation for veterans.

In April 2012 I went to Fort Stewart, Georgia to watch the President sign an Executive Order 13607.
