5:42 pm
america is the result of systematic racism this explains the protests in writing but does it the commanding heights controlling the financial system media and the business world are the ones to admit it it's the economy stupid or then greed on the street. no worse a clip of shoulders no use to. produce good but the way it's always the case it was because who more would. but you need didn't you think immediately. they flew to the us that wouldn't get the clintons up by the smithsonian bush knew if they do get through to the. city they it. yes. the. yes fuck.
5:43 pm
seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. anything you get to shape out these days it comes to educate and in gay treatment equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. when i was 10 years old i discovered i could seen a little bit and didn't know harmonies so some guys in the neighborhood told me how to harmonize and we formed a group my brother 9 a couple more guys got out and we did the local talent shows in the schools and in
5:44 pm
the nightclubs in memphis. blues a local star talent you know in the indie city of memphis. the only song everybody else's stuff you know the guys who already had records that were so good and me saying their stuff you know so today went out to come out and work so hard so they gave us the 1st segment of the hour and we said we gotta. be steppin you know maybe so i just like to hear. and then i would do all these things are songs impossible. to say something like the songs all heard. oh. but you speak. of them somebody needs to be patient

so this is on a breakfast rescue mission where the largest free service provider of meals in philadelphia where the only free service provider breakfast in the entire city. with their $400.00 meals a day no matter what always. that includes breakfast lunch and dinner. the room warm. the rude mood and also we serve about $180.00 all every single night we just need
5:47 pm
a place to sleep will remove 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 139 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 at the deck 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 we don't necessarily want the strings but also if there is a giant budget cuts that like there were
5:48 pm
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. and. 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. that does become quite a problem for people who are relying on that money.
5:50 pm
5:51 pm
a lot of it is just the unfortunate fact that most people in philadelphia are only a ballot 2 paychecks away from home so that means you don't have a job for 4 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 you will be affected. 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 lot of people if you lose 2 paychecks and that's not going to be
5:52 pm
a big deal but in philadelphia that is an extremely big deal for about 40 percent of the population. anyone can become homeless a lot of people become homeless because of some sort of catastrophic event in their life may be medical bill was just too high or a fire in their house maybe a divorce or something like that could could potentially cause homelessness. in the world where the local local board. are you know there's a dollar there i love that so i wrote are detained over where child custody.
