9:30 am
meet every day americans who know. what's america our ancestors suffered the most and china how things got so crazy i was naked. right thing to. the start to bridge the gap this is the great american pilgrimage. today marks the beginning of the final leg of the pilgrimage as a reunited steven the macs are shipping up to boston and boy if he missed max's ramblings because as miles davis said when asked about his genius he said it's not actually the notes he's playing but the rest. it's what between the notes that's what makes. me think about people it's the n.t. no this is the n.t. beat you know it's five four you know rockets ball rock n roll and country music
9:31 am
for four times. rock and roll baby rock n roll and then you have like a waltz is a three d. like the will to live. and then my marching band i suppose is to do for the site down at the mouth of the ok then you have people leave office five four so as. they see that upbeat the but the but the dizzy gillespie the upbeat that's five four that's what makes it funky that's what makes it jazzy that's what makes it a revolution five four upbeat teapot bebop seems like.
9:32 am
our heroes have some great dance moves don't they but we don't have time for that so let's fast forward. to the any money. club. is today free or. do. they say yes. there's no time to sleep on this pill which is our hero's drive through the night and watch the sunrise over the border of the bay state. for simple tone the next oh is that what we're doing now right and then a seat belt the entire church suddenly like oh let's put on our seat belts. isn't that luddy to. brother or pull and have been massachusetts yeah hang on
9:33 am
a minute. i'm. all right. look it up pretty this is buddy all the gorgeous colors the shock of color the shock of nature what you got hit this fall in boston man it's you know i grew up terrible boston x i guess so sorry for those ted kennedy i really did just for a second i was a j.f.k. when i was deathly ten because. it was over the little good gurgling sound from a little ditty. i grow up i'll stop that i'm sorry i made a bad political reference is it now moving right along we're coming into the boston area j party boats water mayhem revolution. this is where it all happens something in the soil something in the atmosphere something about the cosmic alignment of the planets got our forefathers all riled up and they said t.v.
9:34 am
or not to tea or no stephen that was not the question to be what happened and all the economics of when the boston tea party in the what happened america's a startup it always has been it's a start a country to start a nation for it so it was unfair so they decided to in the boston tea party to throw the tea into the into the water because they were going to pay the taxes anymore it's unfair taxation it's interesting only a third of americans wanted to declare their independence from england a third did not go home and a third were ambivalent you know. they didn't care one way or another so only it shows that a small percentage of the population if motivated can stage a successful revolution but looking back i think we think that everyone was gung ho on this revolution but really it was a muslim minority who and negatively created what what came out of all that. came
9:35 am
out of it was the gumption and the personalities like paul revere and benjamin franklin and thomas jefferson these are incredibly successful intelligent visionary renaissance man who studied the rights of man from the enlightenment in europe they brought it to america they caught a five there ideas of freedom in the declaration of independence of the constitution of united states and once they put that in motion it was inevitably going to go forward the inertia of the revolution once sparked was carried forward irreversibly there approximately twenty two thousand red coats or english soldiers and we we went on a killing spree. to secure our freedom the british empire was the biggest empire the strongest. ever existed ever you know came in to be our age and really through the battle in our favor were the french because the french hated the british have hated the british for hundreds of years and and the british were defeated we try to
9:36 am
be we're americans the. winners of two world wars undefeated in the world wars. are ok so you know at home trying to figure that one out. i live in the united kingdom i live in great britain the whole system of monarchy is an oppressive. i'm glad we did it. but. you can still be the crown prince of the pilgrimage right yeah. well that's that's very different is that because there wasn't a hereditary. title he was nice you. know he was nice you were just thrown of cuteness yes exactly q. three zero de janeiro it's true
9:37 am
that well you know it put the seed of that already in my mind when he talked about boston. and it stirs the lawyers of my patriotism i feel it in my mind and now a patriotic rant from max. are on a fire with anticipation of expressing in an almost like star spangled banner my love and devotion of freedom right there on the very site on the boston tea party in some spectacular now what you're seeing is you've got some kind of vibration with many macs and the twins. millions and millions and many mexicans are pretty at the ready like that like the minutemen it's. the seminal moment in american history i'll give you that pun. i agree with everything you just said there is
9:38 am
a revolution. as you can clearly see happening here. i believe part of the revolution is to great american pilgrim. from going down. like a captain for cops. after nearly escaping the state east even to max make their way to the more and square diner in fitchburg mass to meet a woman running for city council. where you. used to be just even my favorite you are fans walia sam squally nice me that nice to meet you too where are we what is this place doesn't more in square dynamic pittsburgh massachusetts seriously massachusetts massachusetts that's rude to the different benignly you think sounds perfectly fine over here my friend here i know who think you for coming to see
9:39 am
you are on a journey on the experience on the jubilee service luge the great american pilgrimage wound in the r.v. and going around the country talking to regular people who haven't found then it sounds pretty good to regularise them are yeah i hear regularly. i'm getting back there i was lost for a little out there and hollyweird for what i'm coming back sure stephen just like all the other regular people with their own t.v. shows so now here we are. and stephen still has no idea where he is. pittsburgh fitchburg says this is your backyard but you know everybody here knows where i live this is my home bird how many times have we said this town's name maybe we should keep track of that. bird and bird which the school where did i go to school fitchburg star high but i went to warwick
9:40 am
rhode island boston architectural college and one of them said she went and got a degree in architecture there is what i'm working towards my degree in architecture i have a degree in engineering but yes or what else are you doing right now that you have on your list of things to do all running for city council at large prayer. or just throw in there so that you know by the way let's go and it's a it's a main thing no fun it's really really great actually what other good excuse do you have to go to people's doors and knock on them and then actually have people say you know. they are going to perceive the potential new city council they have why not on the door to first they're like yes can i help you and i say i'm saying skully i'm going to rip it appears to become full. ok great this is your job is read this early i think i'll give the selling religion or selling solar. it's either you're selling solar or you're there for religion and you're selling
9:41 am
soap oh it wasn't for you to work to do this if stephen had a day job we'd tell him not to quit doing your job creator finished business school leave syncing the pilgrimage is nearing its end and also the recent drop in crypto currency max decides to pick up a part time shift as a line cook. thanks very sorry to the biggest. little. grid ever get this on special right now. you just put those down thirty seconds ago i'm no julia child but those eggs definitely need to be cooked longer. he's actually going to serve those well for legal matters the great american pilgrimage is not responsible for.
9:42 am
the war hawks telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle is going. to stop spreading tell you that what we gossip the public by file for the most important news. off the bad guys and tell you on the cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along the border will watch. this little bundle of joy he would have no chance of surviving in the wild mother pandas can only win one cup at a time but usually cubist to. china puts a lot of effort into making up for this cruel mistake of nature.
9:43 am
is just. china's penned the breeding has become something of a production line. it's almost as though they've been copied three d. printed and put on show for the public. several cups of bone here each year. but only left would buy dedicated scientists will be funded think if panda enough can't be encouraged in captivity it's not as though they don't practice until but in the same lazy way they do everything else this proud mommy gave birth to twins and has no idea that a special love potion was formulated just for the. criminalist released by the point house and shaming into an institution those included on the list are accused simply by association. being from russia or is now an accepted
9:44 am
cause for suspicion so does the criminalist really change in its. own appetite i mean for conflict is very very low these days and public servant much more eager to see economic improvement than they are to actually get into a fight with a neighbor or or with other powers in the world. as max serves up a plate of salmonella to the unsuspecting patrons in the next booth stephen and sam continue to talk politics on the local level. and she says puck fits. which birth so i'm sure you know where i live near a place called litchfield connecticut stricken so bird is small. forty thousand
9:45 am
forty one and it's almost a what is it where the room median city but you see a lot of division in politics even the little town of the democrats republicans we have a majority if i did world people here in pittsburgh think forty four percent under all so they don't want to declare they want to construct their other than that the second highest is democrats and then it's republican but the majority are under old and when we have elections a lot of the time it's very split so we're very similar to the general massachusetts general less a choice it's left leaning or moderate why do you want to do this well i want to help i've been helping and serve in the city you know volunteer counseling for years and i want to help in the physical about today you know there's a wave of change in the politics today and i want to be in for the right in the way to. put your serious to the short if that's true for most people go do
9:46 am
it yourself and others but what was the spoils that mean just. politics or something where you said i could always get back to the architecture or any of the other schooling stuff i feel a calling into this right now what was the spark statistically most women have to have their own twisted to go into politics and i think that's probably the same with me you know i run a community group and found facebook and sporting about the phone call this constant pittsburgh home. and the max they carry so they can grow their own pineapple have been established we got coffee and i thought he was that earnest we're going to shoot a banana and somehow max under-cooked. that is well when i got one and fitch birth . cup of joe zillion. thanks max roach yeah no problem. but as someone in this community group and you know i'm very involved with everything community people ask questions about the city what times are trash going to town for what not and i answer i seek out the answers that he has in the form
9:47 am
something when our city council ran for state representative and the seat became available and a lot of people twisting my arm saying you have to run them like adam and i have two jobs i'm busy i got lots of things don't really get selling but this is right it is a complement like seems or duty like right this is mine to think if i don't step up until i think your role model i can serve the community i can do basically what i'm doing now except in official capacity and i can do even more with a compliment first of all the people locally you know pushed you is that because you're such a go getter that you have these organizational skills that you can help create change and there's no bureaucracy or because you're a go getter and you get it done is that the big reason why i'm running the facebook group and i am the admin so there's no it there i can see there were put down when people ask for help with things that i felt like are right let me answer this question i'll go right to the d.p.p. director or i'll go right to the head of the department so you can see this immunity activist she said seize the open door opportunity to take down to the
9:48 am
next level frank yeah so now running their own economy and house the house would go good to go shopping everyone tells me i do but i'm not live not taking the for granted i'm still knocking on doors i'm going to go knock on doors tonight we're going to debate on the next night i'm knocked out another three thousand the same if you don't win by a landslide it's because you didn't work hard enough we'll see i have a new campaign for your hopes and i think you should put a big poster of so this. squirrel you wins by is sam slide. and i put that in my over my speech isn't there where you should you would have gotten to say i meant the actor stephen baldwin who you know somebody i mean it was work is pretty down to go for seeking these are the worst i see is the key promise you ever. do you have people suddenly knowing vote for you or they know it's just
9:49 am
to chill well i'm independent underground so i'm going in the middle you know i can go to the g.o.p. meetings and listen to them and understand what they're saying and i can go to the democratic meetings and listen to them it's understood what they're saying i'm a registered independent registered to do and very same reason they want to go in that booth i can do what i want that's happened so one time i'm talking to a guy an e-mail at baldwin who says to me. here's just a distraction use. my god what happened and i go what do you say steve the youngest of the brothers no republican and i went. did somebody go to the scene but i'm not a republican so. i'm a registered independent and he was just as with us. we all know. you're really truly republican sympathiser. i'm appalled. that.
9:50 am
i would say upset is probably not republican from the things that you're not a republican oh alex not. me i was going to go i did that label so you're in and then yes if councilwoman the thing works out. would you see potentially aspiring to higher office it depends and totally depends on the circumstance i can picture that the pentagon i can picture just being a city councilor fitchburg can you know because i have a business i have a failing of seven year old daughter and so i could easily just help fish part on the local level because that's really my heart my past i want to know what do you like to do in this town with your daughter and i support a lot of community events so this and the. always things to do here in france for someone always going to a new community event and there's there's no hands to them there was just that october best of them where i'm going to my daughter they're going to probably wouldn't think of that but we also have a lot of amenities but parks you know we have a lot of hiking here in hiking to join in with her she literally just answered that
9:51 am
i think molly take her hiking she loves to do that she loves to go to the park we have forty parks in pittsburgh and she always wants to go to the park good because she real social animals like to go make friends and go and play a little trick and wonder where she gets that from a. thing we need to do this you recognize you as mommy running for political office to shoot if she wear that or not so she goes to cracker elementary and they are doing their thirtieth annual mock election and this year they mock election they get to vote for counselor at large so last night i got the letter like that again oh look it's a new low to get to vote for me to. see this you really hate it when she tried to bribe it but that is not how it's like spark i will not. grow more t.v. no more interview that for your daughter she's very bright but you know he's married with by the way on this program. showed an increase in the future of this
9:52 am
quality actually joe's run for president is that you were just kidding just joking with me the night that i don't know stephen sounds like her daughter would make a great lobbyist. a young lady in your life comes to you and says he. gosh i was really inspired that hillary clinton almost became the first woman preserve the united states you would be suggest or give the advice to be yourself you can't fit into every mold right this is not a mold that everyone will like right but you can be yourself and even if people don't agree with you they'll trust what you're saying you believe that you're genuine and. it doesn't matter how smart you are home much you know about things that people think if people can't trust you and this is merely don't trust what you're saying to them you lost it yeah yeah and that's why i think there's a comfort factor flush out i could have a beer with george w. bush george w. bush not done but well spoken but i like him there me to be like i let this guy
9:53 am
seems genuine. so this may be a very providential moment because maybe you'll be the first president to state such a one and there were no i never thought i'd run for such a skilled stuff i want to put that much pressure and this quality about being the first woman president but you know what's interesting about this conversation because we're further down the journey of the pilgrimage which i am the leader of the pilgrimage. regular coffee regular people we're in trouble now from the leader of the pilgrimage i assure you but max is here to make everything go smoothly actually max's shift was up five minutes ago. if i get a walberg bomber to show up on your behalf mark warbird comes to town to back squali sounds like a party ok and you win by a landslide and it's all because you got in the door smith from one walberg and reconstructing like can we then change the name fits bird pittsburgh to walberg
9:54 am
walberg because you can do what you become to the simple by the way we just by executive order i now want to clear fitchburg is stephen is grossly overestimating the power of a single city council member and we'd love that here. we do have a baldwin phil that's a fire you know that both one bill and the other they're generally right leaning oklahoma should get a resident so. to say and spoken like a true independent. in ten years your daughters. oh. approximately. what do you see ten years from now will will world war three be over will it have happened didn't begin but what scenario could be you do when you think about it like that and your daughter in the future has a hopeful future i have hope for the future that i'm one of america to me america
9:55 am
is our freedom and our rights you know we shan't have the right to to protest things that we do not agree about we should have the right to live our lives without government interference now without excessive interference from other space and be able to live our life into the things that we like as long as we're not hurting other people listen. to me the more i hear you loud and clear i don't know how that's all going to wash out because i still think the problem still exists that half this country. who wants what it wants. in the name of progress good have the country wants what it wants relevant to the tradition. is for them has always been a resistance to change with the seaman's of the left but with a bill like change in the we was down are we at the same coffee. and i
9:56 am
know them and they are probably the original table one hundred forty holy cow is it right good big pool i'll probably spend a lot of coffee on. the productions for it's time i've been here. more in square diners get the best dane cook you know fix bird cheers right back you were get banged up here we go that's the road day one of massachusetts is in the books max has disappeared yet again. and stephen is finally learned how to pronounce fitchburg. twenty two times that's it. fitchburg anyway from here our hero continues deeper into the bay state to find more talents you can't pronounce and to learn about the sacrifice some americans have made for this great country next time on the great american pilgrimage we got into a firefight he would shoot so i hit him on the top of the head with my helmet told
9:57 am
the five he'd started should think yeah. yeah. weird america really. exists is harlan kentucky. over all of this move the boy says he was going to st families where he won't be.
9:58 am
a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal was just said. that it was a laugh to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. here's what people have been saying about rejected and i was actually just full on awesome feel. show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of party americans do the same thing we are apparently better than booth nothing. to see people you never heard of love back to the night not the president of the world bank though hate the word. seriously send
9:59 am
us an e-mail. the u.s. is losing into a summer one the climate denying is precluding them from the dissipating in this new economy number one and number two the effects of climate change and why the catastrophes the global you know migrants that are the result of it all this other problems are hurting the us economy on the other side of the trade so you've got to double by. it. and the unity of the didn't you give to.
