just like all the stored safely at least so he should. get a. repatriation look at the rest of seventy. percent. record. i did the war planning for the principal force provider command in the united states military for four years i've worked on this region for years i do not understand this saudi arabia is the greatest state sponsor of terrorism in the world still today and yes we all here on that we lie when we say that we right blatantly lie when we say that and moreover we know we're lying. pranking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i
6:43 am
could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people who rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to. this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to deal with. when i was ten years old i discovered i could seen a little bit and didn't know harmonies so some guys in the neighborhood told me how
6:44 am
to harmonize and we formed a group my brother nine a couple more guys got out and we did the local talent shows in the schools and in the nightclubs and. lose the local star talent you know in the city of memphis. well we sold everybody else's stuff you know the guys who already had records out we were so good at missing their stuff you know so today when i have to come out i work so hard so they gave us the first segment of the hour and we said a man we need is downtown and we'll be stepping you know movie saw and just like just there. and then i'll do i'll believe it was always a plus a move. to say something like the song a song heard tiger. oh
6:45 am
6:46 am
6:47 am
and also about one hundred eighty all every single night we just need a place to sleep. every single bed in this room that currently has a pillow on it is actually a physical person who has reserved this bed tonight so as you can see we really are almost completely full. on the breakfast rescue mission is one hundred thirty nine years old so there were actually quite a few homeless individuals in philadelphia at the time it was even way before the great depression yet there was a very large homeless epidemic in philadelphia. we don't perceive any government funding so that means that we're completely independent of the strings that would come along with accepting any money from the government. we do this because
6:48 am
we don't necessarily want the strings but also if there is a giant budget cuts that like there were a few years ago we actually don't get affected because we have our entire revenue stream from individuals who are donating us money instead of. through something that is so easily attained changeable like. policy. so in the past few years in america we've had quite a difficult time with passing our budget that means that we've actually had a few weeks where our government shuts down because we just can't get it passed. and that does become quite a problem for people who are relying on that money.
6:50 am
that this is wise. to the mentally ill with the homeless that really has or that view. i got a call from a city or twenty billion dollars surplus for affordable housing has a couple from the. only guys to as one will tell. you you know i live over st joe a lot of games you want to treat she said you know all of the drama of it all so much so sue simmons would stand for that to many government officials and sirius is
6:51 am
very much in the right choice to get people off the street because at some point you have to help people help themselves. a lot of it is just the unfortunate fact that most people in philadelphia are only about two paychecks away from homelessness so that means you don't have a job for four weeks and then all of a sudden you're going to be homeless because you are literally living from paycheck to paycheck you need that next job in order to continue paying rent and if you don't pay rent then you will be evicted. from my perspective i really believe that the route to homelessness in philadelphia is the fact that. there is a very high population below the poverty line. a
6:52 am
lot of people if you lose two paychecks and that's not going to be a big deal but in philadelphia that is an extremely big deal for about forty percent of the population. anyone can become homeless a lot of people become homeless because of some sort of catastrophic event in their life maybe the medical bill was just too high or a fire in their house maybe a divorce or something like that could potentially cause homelessness. was a more of
6:53 am
