journey to join us you can hear so i have you know before we get into all of that we're you from you were born where i was born in manhattan new york and then we moved here to massachusetts i graduated two thousand and six school and became a travel nurse i've traveled all over the country for the past eight nine years right so your health care. that's like a hot topic in these to get what would you say is the biggest issue your profession for nursing health insurance period you know we get people that don't have insurance and they get the best care throughout you know the border you get someone who is hardworking and has insurance and they get kicked out after the fifth day because their insurance doesn't approve or you know whatever it is that they need or what not so sure in your opinion as you travel as a nurse a lot of folks who are uninsured. are showing more the benefits the middle to lower
5:36 am
middle class one hundred percent yes. and back to max was keep it one hundred in cambridge or if not i'll try yes but that. record shows no matter how much compared to europe. or france i would compare if you don't have heat. but don't. think that you and want to move the antique street and you need to meet. with rising healthcare costs of education i don't see what that would mean you. might know it like four thousand years of normal average salary in france as last a lifetime from the start that the french you feed it will be less likely you. will . be one next time but at the end i don't know which it is for me yes only it
5:37 am

5:38 am
many many many places i have what's what's a story or an experience related to your work that sticks out the most well actually i had a contract in boston here at mass general and i was actually when boston marathon bombings and i was there breaking news this hour the finish line of the boston marathon is hit by two major explosions just seconds of polling these three people who had reportedly been killed and many others. had gone there at three of my friends one of them being like eight months pregnant my best friend and. they were two of our friends were running the marathon and. we were standing at the finish line and my primary friends she was like you guys i'm starving i really need to eat we walked down the street we went to out that. everything and we
5:39 am
heard the first bomb go off. everyone looked around but didn't really think anything of it you know it's not a kind of like a cannon going on and so you know they're probably celebrating a few minutes later the second one went off and i was was the one that was closer to us where like the buildings shook. and so that's when people started freaking out. the manager of the restaurant made everybody go downstairs to the basement and told us that he was told that it was some kind of gas pipe. and i was like that sounds like. that like that we were in there it would seem like forever wondering what the hell was going on you know so they finally let us through the back door into the alley behind restaurant. and that's when. they saw
5:40 am
people just running running and people with blood and were like what the hell's going on you know and so when my friend was asking around like what just happened what's happened then everyone's like there's bombs going off and so that's when we were like ok we got to put it to the train station because my friend was eight months pregnant you can't be there and also we booked into the train station and it was just mass mass of people just going to stir yeah it was it was it was crazy and . i still remember it like it was yesterday like. in this. so. you're at the boston marathon. we're pretty good friends so let's go get something. from where you were for him to for when he was out of finish line so they were the first that's where the second bomb went off and the bigger one the bigger one yeah so if it wasn't for hungry baby we could have been still standing
5:41 am
there when it went off thinking back like before we went to eat we were trying to hook up with another friend who was there. but just we couldn't figure out where she was so i actually took a picture of like where we were in so she can reference it to like where to go and i didn't even notice it was her that notice when she later on that night like after everything happened that. when i took the picture the two the two brothers were in the picture. what i had to. yeah. i still have a you want to see it. yeah. i've
5:42 am
been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes have to teach this. eighty five percent of global wealth you longed to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only.
5:43 am

5:45 am
but you're chinese in a while yeah i'm a big guy you know a big rock or i'm around right now i don't want marching here to box i'm here and i was great i give out free food talk to me was a. piece i think starbucks me on her mind i'm going to craft rethink what it what more you cut the funding for military right how you have all the money you want housing and food you have to get over and start caring again it goes back to what is important for americans only myself and i think hopefully think america can make it if we get our values three years old saying live simply saw this may simply be a little bit of how i live my life seriously a picture of you took randomly just to identify the spot you were. in. and it has the two individuals that were the terrorists. speak on ground i know tell me where the massey. and you can zoom in.
5:46 am
and this is before all the floor everything happened yeah. i mean it's it's clear as day there they are yeah they're already there yeah. yeah right there for them. i mean that's just. crazy right and i mean even noticed until my friend was like you got to take a look at your picture again and i was like why does the man and look at the people and that's when i was like oh. there they are tell me go. because you're talking about it and i'm basically it's an emotional. thing. i've met several people who are nine eleven something told to go home that day. you know you can chalk that up to. luck. a higher power or anything. i didn't get any of that. not at all not until
5:47 am
after the fact and not. listening after the fact after everything happened. we just like me it was me and three my friends my pregnant friend and her husband and another friend and all three of us we were like we need to get home now was our main focus i'm sorry i'm you know it really was a tissue brother or american or something i'm sorry i'm not really anything like that i don't think i was going to get emotional well no you're good you're fine. that's kind of great we just feel. so apart from it's a it's a one time one city in america i mean all over america it's a big country right there and states are it's completely empty right and so you know our territory like. this frees us. last.
5:48 am
yeah i think not the first time what is amazing after the first time yes you know what the. other just came up after the bombing at the marathon bombing. but i didn't know that there was a whole boston strong it only came. from one of them it was what's going on and it means that we like to look up for each other type of terror and things like that like we get one another where you feel that's all there and i mean i guess that i'm puerto rican cold in terms of like what's going on here i don't feel like i'm ok like right now my grandfather had been up for it and he just had like so much right talk about the american dream or american up like that that's happening right now is very good to not feel like when they need it that's their part that you're here because you know any other place you stand they got to meet with me to get it i don't want to train up so much now. you know on that day yeah like
5:49 am
a lot like him. after. all this went down the trains were running they kept the trains running to let people get out of there yes. and there were like law enforcement with like huge guns in like backpacks like all over the place like just people panic yeah and your girlfriend was pretty sure running to washington at the time you know yeah. yeah. scared was terrifying actually because we didn't know if there was going to be another one not to go off or away or you know when so it was it was. i can't even put in words. how did mom and dad react. we were friendly happy to see me when i go home because they can you get a hold of me. because you know all the phones were down you know you can make any
5:50 am
phone calls you can fax you can do anything so they didn't know where i was or if i was still around or anything. so when i finally got home. and it it was a voice you know i hear. you're. good looking. but i'm just like i'm. trying to stay away from the tissue myself here just to jump to the next idea i'm going to say. so that happens. but you still live there. it's my home it's still home. where the heart i listen i got you. a body. that is yours because my mama she went to the american me.
5:51 am
ask you about. the place and. your great dream come true i feel a lot of love coming here for the conference. i see this phrase boston strong what does that mean mean profit by. terrorists on the attack. by three. years it's not going to be neat you need to come you know. so i'm sitting here with a young lady who hasn't just seen. or heard the idea of boston strong. i lived it. cost and kicks because lou. how quickly they
5:52 am
caught those as you know. it's often. boston did a very good job catching those guys. yeah what our law enforcement deals with. i know firsthand because my dad is a police officer so. i know what he goes through you know coming out of it are you stronger. or you're getting they're getting their. cure was forced but that's raised a pretty terrific daughter helped her friend. she was pregnant. she had the baby. on the morning she holds the boy in him. what's not. so. happens here.
5:53 am
you see the. labels and. not enough numbers on the bill oh. yes yes we need to is that something you know i'm talking about america as a country you recount like our parents you know we're like a sibling that's run off and started our own country i think we're doing mom mom i'm pretty sure these women don't speak for all of the england and max definitely doesn't speak for all of us to keep it pretty good going to be better than going to trial well that was just about to save up enough those houses then you can speak up . yeah i want you to mention that i think i made a mistake right so that leaves her leadership enough to tina is now not going to be better. other than that he's home in scotland right. no
5:54 am
cut off or no yes i was going to fund the east coast right in the cement and most of the gulf coast now from montana and there's a transformation coming to your neighborhood but my god. what are you going to propose. we would do wonders what we're going to call having my name in the article was paid a dream gallo are eager to work abit and claim scott's actual long time for a while doesn't work to be a man. for asking everybody on the greenberg pilgrimage what is america to you everything you've touched in the touch here. this is still lead to dreams or is just ok it was a land of dreams i mean my parents death now we reached the you know my dad was he always wanted to be gone police officer did that you know i was a member as new let's raise does was went to college you know i have good jobs but . america now known like the way things are going with this new
5:55 am
president and. terrorism going people killing each other i mean it makes me scared to even raise kids in this world now because look at what they have to look forward to that wondering if someone's going to bomb their school without a doubt i want children but i would fear for them you know. i mean the news you can't even watch the news these days but there it is just back on you don't see anything going on is a. shock to. go on your printer. so . you're still cool with america i'm so cool i'm still here things are going to get better i'm hopeful. good one will let them forget about this but the church said that there's too much going on now but i'm hoping that. things will
5:56 am
turn eventually turn. to thanks for coming. thanks for sharing your story the third day of massachusetts in the books stephen i'm back to come to an understanding of what it means to be boston strong and our heroes meet back up to continue their quest to have a boston tea party of their own next time on the great american pill. is a. max we've made. our home what does america mean to you. i am not very good at it. but.
5:57 am
i think that. except someone for who they all know what you want them to be this is the advice a therapist might give to a couple in a relationship crisis it apply this wisdom to geopolitics and you'll see that trying to change the weakness of the other. and to fully accept each other. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions. one convict respond
5:58 am
innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no way that hasn't been that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished recently just to get tell here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't their way. out but whole existence to somebody. who put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something want to be pressed. to write to the press it's like the forty three of them or can people that i'm interested in always in the waters of our. question.
