bad people getting good. we're sick people getting well. narrator: let's make a toast! whether it's a graduation, a wedding, a promotion, alcohol is an ingrained part of our society. 52% of americans drink, and many do so rponsibly. alcohol doesn't threaten their health or their relationships with others. but what happens when we don't drink responsibly? in many european countries, the use of alcohol is a part of a meal ritual, and it's not common to see adults drink, in the context of that meal, to intoxication. that's very different than american use of alcohol in many families, where it's a part of unwinding, relaxation-- drinking to the point of intoxication. so it's important to look at how it's used in the family and in the culture. jerry: i think down south, alcohol is part of virtually every custom. everyone in my family drinks, some alcoholically, some not. children of alcoholics are at about a threefold risk of becoming alcoholic themselves compared to children of non-alcoholics. it appears that about half the variance in vulnerability for alcoholism is relate

include a healthy and people who are not fighting it. -- include the healthy people and people who areot buying it. caller: as i listen to the various discussions, the idea that this somehow likened to automobile insurance. why can't somebody point out the simple fact that the mandated automobile insurance is liability insurance? it has nothing to do with fixing the car, if you use the analogy that the car is the person. there's no requirement for me to have insurance on my car. it is all liability, which will protect someone else. i cannot quite get my hands around the logic of that being an applicable, rational argument. the other one is, the buying of the muskets that goes back to the 1870's. that law, as i read, was only 45 white males. it's so far away from the reality we have today. those two keep popping up. i would like to have your distinguished panel address why those are rational reasons for doing something when they do not seem to have any parallels. thank you very much for c-span. i am a c-span junkie. it is the place to get your news. host: jess bravin, can you respond to

all these people are independent. and not a whole lot sin veis in in these people. i think this is going to be bad for our descendents for the children if we neglect culture. there's a great potential for young people. i think we should encourage music, musicians and other people. so give more latitude to people who are independent. well, culture should be encouraged. otherwise, we're not going to be a cultural nation. so i think culture should not be compulsory. but everybody, of course, can be in culture. but you're right. you're absolutely right. a country that neglects its culture can no longer claim to be cultural. this is true. the lady in the front? and then we'll go on the other side. i work in school. i think for education we should dedicate ourselves much more on theory and practice and i think that we should send our children to old folks home and in places where there are lots of handicap people. so they get to know the old and the handicapped. and so, perhaps, i think people would have better values. so that people would learn to live together with diff

to get more people into the pool. that is really the idea here. right now, the problem somebody that people who try to buy insurance on their own have a really hard time of it, a, because in some states insurance companies can reject someone with a preexisting condition or charge for their time. and b, the rates are very high because the pool is not big enough. you only have people in the pool who really think they need insurance, so it doesn't really work the way that insurance is supposed to would work, so the s that you will create this healthy, busy thriving private sector marketplace, and eventually if it works, the long-term hope is that you will get more of us going into these exchanges over are time. they might become the base of our insurance system, not employer had-based coverage. host: shirley on the republican line. caller: good morning, everywhere i go and i go to a lot of the tea parties, i hear a lot of senior citizens complaining that they paid into this system all their life and now they have to worr

it is not the people of the russian people may want change but if they want change quite frankly it's not the change that the west wants to see if we look at the legislative elections the liberal opposition got crushed there there was some false implication of results but the overall results were maybe off by five percent then pretty much reflected the will of the russian people that if you believe in democracy then you just have to let the people vote the way they want to and the communists. advanced quite substantially in the election and the extreme nationalists the end of their vance it was a very very small vote for those people who want russia to be more like the rest of the world i think the russian people one of the russians one very likely resists or a very poor there was a very very good for the united russia party which is the ruling party and it was issue even gave instructions so very very slow very much astonished so so so this idea that people love united russia and love guta and i think let's wait until the election results come through well i would. agree with you kno

there are people who did come out of their houses there are people that said oh my gosh i felt hopeless and now i don't feel hopeless there were there were activists like me who thought hopeless and said oh my god thank god thank god finally finally they've come and come together and have decided to give voice it's true there were a lot of activists that all came together many different groups who came who also came but by and large the activists that i saw the main organizers of occupy wall street they're all twenty five years old they're all twenty five years old when you think it is news they well i bet that's just the way i i care about ok but i want to do is my problem let me ask let me ask is a problem with your view ok go ahead. go ahead and go ahead you one reason i'm saying the problem i have with with. my problem i have with charles first of all a people have not gone home this movement is growing and it will grow more but beyond that. change those not happened necessarily only through the traditional political formats we've had in our country the experience of civil the civil

and so bringing events like this around the country lets people know that people recover. people recover. substances took me down some roads that i shouldn't have gone down. i spent 7 months in treatment, aftercare, morning care, every care, give me some care, where is the care? i'm probably the proudest recovering alcoholic in the world. i haven't had a drink or a drug for 27 years, 10 months, and a few days. (applause) you get to build a new life- because a lot of times people who talk about recovery talk about they want things back. "i wanna to get this back, and i wanna to get that back." i think to get so many new things- because there is life after treatment, and a good life. so it's time for those that have a problem really to get into recovery. (music) and ladies and gentlemen, i would like all of youu the stories of recovery are the stories of individuals improving their own health and well-being, living self-directed lives, and achieving their full potential. these stories are seen at recovery month events, but, more importantly, they're seen day-in and day-out i

people do?they start spending money to go to private schools. it is ludicrous. it's not the american way. >> but people will get a better education at a private school right now than they would from a non-paying school in america, wouldn't they? >> they would. but you're looking at somebody who grew up on the south side of chicago, went to horseman grammar school, south side high school, every single glass was smashed out, you had to be frisked before you went in, the education was not good, and look at me today. so anything you can want, you can get it. i don't believe your education makes you. >> in your heart suze, and you've got an amazing story, and it's incredibly inspiring, and if i just sold the jewelry on your body right now, you could retire. >> i don't think so. $200 for a watch, $75 for this ring, and maybe $1,000 total here. okay? got it, people. >> that's a good answer. is that true? yes. it's, what, michael kors. this is like -- >> this little trinke blimey! >> that's the trick. y

you know writing about their experiences in the metro some people are doing just fine a lot of peoplesaying that they were pushed and shoved by the police and that they are going to put all this stuff online and world to see it on youtube very soon so action a couple hours of people get all get home and they throw everything on you tube we should see a lot of interesting videos because a lot of these single frame photos are just really blurry to be honest. so be very interesting to see war is online a very good cheer for you good tunes of your seats night and i'm certain this will keep coming in over the next couple of days until be analyzing everything that's happening obviously i hope you're enjoying our coverage of the international observers have been having their say about the openness of russia's presidential election one thing's for sure this poll was unique in that anyone could have been a vote moments a lot of people volunteered that was a lot of money well before good millionfold approach it with ninety one thousand webcams to choose from but the cameras caught more than jus

it was a big fuss about that in the beginning because a lot of people said -- maybe some people still do today -- i could do much better if the government left me alone. i'd go into the private market, i'd buy an annuity, i'd make a t left me alone, go into the private market, buy an annuity, i'd make a great and -- investment, and they're forcing me to pay for this social security that i don't want. but that is constitutional. so, if congress could see this as a problem when we need to have a group that will subsidize the ones who are going to get the benefits. it seems to me you are saying the only way that could be done is it the government does it in self, it can't involve the private market. it can't involve the private insurers. if it wants to do this, social security is its model, the government has to do -- has to be a government takeover. we can have the insurance industry in it. is that your position? >> no, i do not think it is, justice ginsburg. hiking there are other options available. the los straightforward one would be to figure out what amount of subsidy to the insura

many of the people give their hearts to christ, whole villages of people are getting saved through thenslation process, absolutely amazing. >> it is pulling some away from witchcraft? >> many people because when they run into hardships would go back to villages to the witch doctors. they are learning god! this god can help me in a language i can understand through the bible and help them solve whatever issues. >> how long is their day to get this done? >> all day. they go there early in the morning, totally committed to this tedious work of studying and making sure every word is correct. >> really resignates in your own language tongue. >> god speaks my language. >> thank you so much charlene, great report. >> thank you. >>> still ahead, thousands pour into the streets of moscow, russian voters rising up in protests. >> russia's christians are asking the global church to pray for their presidential elections. thousands of christians took to the streets protesting president vladimir. russians believe the elections were rigged. many expect a crack down after the e elections. >> after thi

some people say then that is just another way for the bad people to get to the neighborhood. i do not agree. i appreciate your having this hearing. supervisor wiener: do you know -- i think it was mr. pearlstine who mentioned that there might have been a station that moved. that was a concern from a number of residents. is there a part of the plan that is going to move public safety institutions? is that being addressed? >> my understanding is that there is a substation right now, and it will remain until it is not needed or it will stay. i can remember when the bayview station used to be third and 20th, two blocks from my house. i have not noticed a degradation of police presence. supervisor mar: could staff provide a comment on that issue? >> good afternoon, supervisors. in the president of the neighborhood association on 23rd in kansas. i think that one thing that needs to be clear about this, from my perspective there has been a lot of marginal as asian in san francisco. it is generally the same thing as the density issues. i can touch on the police substation issue. ther

african-american people and other people of color and other peoples of interest have to work together to ultimately really totally change and push the capitalistic system back. capitalists are are going to be here for a while. minimally, if we could get more legislative frameworks to get rid and get legislation and policies to cut down aboritionists. that is alive and it's going to -- we have to make it alive with our youth, panther cubs and other panther people and youthful people to understand that we want to get to that future world of cooperational humanism. power to the people. thank you very much. [ applause ]

i talk to a lot of people.ook part in the online dialog and i see that in germany a lot of people say that we should have federal education. of course, this would be a huge change in the country if we have federal education. since we're talking about the future, i think that it's something that we should finally come to. what you expect from that. if a federal government makes a mistake, all the german students are affected by the federal mistake. it's better if the state is making a mistake, it affects less people. >> translator: as long as i'm a chancellor, we can talk about mistakes of course on the federal government that i was -- when we move from one state to the other, there's no equivalency? >> yes, we don't have equivalency between states. when you move from one state to the other, you have a different school system. and curriculum has changed. and when a new party takes power in the state -- so costs a lot of money. i think we can save tons if we had uniform education system. uniform for the whole of

absolutely they are there people are too easily swayed from the propaganda or is the people the top one has to believe something that one else follows like she feels out there own personality and look at the facts in the details make their own opinion that's what they should do and not just call everybody else any propaganda that goes against our moral basically feelings any issues and what we believe in it's no good but we have to be tolerant to whatever other people are one of the and what they believe in like it would in the united states we're a free country and you can say i know what they said we can do whatever you feel like when we should be the same way with all other countries in the world so there's a pretty great principle in psychology that you you start and finish where you are so yeah you like what you like and you don't like the other guy for liking something different but that's just human nature but i mean the principle of democracy it's so unusual it's a kind of a crazy idea that you can get wacky people like your answer your crazy sister and you just line them up by

pictures archie had a crew there a few hundred people but a lot of people saw this comeback as being a little bit anemic they say there's still lack of direction and a lack of message here i'm wondering if you know christina are there plans and if so what do they entail in terms of overcoming this perspective that the movement is we found direction. i would say that there of course we're going in a direction but there's so many things that we have to focus on that with their action as it is all over the place but just because we have a lot of a lot of messages that those they need you know. our point is unclear our point is very clear and it's we need to value human beings and not money and not property and not materials we need to value human beings and i think that there are a lot of plans going on there are people who are doing way more organizing in occupy than i am i happen to be a person who likes to be on the front lines i'm in the marches i'm not afraid to speak my mind i have a loud voice but there are people who are doing a lot of ground work and i want to really think them

the people felt the religion of a billion people was being attacked deliberately.his incident where you have one staff sergeant wander off his base in the middle of the night and in a situation of rage go on this murderous shooting spree killing 16 people, most of them children. 11 of them from one family. it seems that afghans, at this stage, seem to be willing to accept that this was an isolated incident and will try and move on from it. friday prayers are still coming later this week a as you said, people are still learning the details of this crime. they are really quite horrific. we're hearing more about what specifically happened on that night as well. the staff sergeant left his base between 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning. walked about a mile and then went into three different afghan homes opening fire, stabbing people, shooting people and tried to set fire to some of the bodies. an american search party was alerted that this american soldier was missing. that search party left the base. helicopters were involved and started to track him down. some american so

they are not real homeless people. these are people who come from the weather and hang out. here is my issue. this could actually be an inventive new be jo. there are jobs that take a lot of work. this could be a great thing. they should be paid for this. it should be a real job, especially when you are dealing with a rejection of being a cold spot. >> what happens if people start yelling at you. the rejection of going from hot to cold is horrible. >> why does it need to be a person at all? >> because that is the program. >> right, but it is not like this is an invention and people can walk around. you don't actually meet a person. >> you know why? like in airports you probably need a permit to put the hot spot there. the human being just walks around. >> it is just charity. it is not a job. we are not g ifg homeless people jobs. it is charity. >> we are tech savy here. >> it could be for somebody struggling to get back into normal society, the idea of a job where you show up on time. these things we take for granted. joy i agree. >> the ability to talk to people normally in

are work, that manies more people are spending, and maybe more people are working yet again? >> well, that's what you hope. that it's certainly when you look at the economy, much of the growth in our economy comes from consumer demand. and consumers can actually actualize that demand when they have money in their pocket. and they need to have jobs and good wages in order to be able to buy goods that then producers will produce more of so clearly as we add more jobs to the economy, the unemployment rate drops. this helps feed a virtuous circle. but there are headwinds that one has to worry about undermining, that a circle, that virtuous circle. so that's why it's important that we still have in place the extensions of the payroll tax cut. we have extension for the unemployment insurance, for those people that are out of work as diane mentioned for long periods of time. and we have to keep our eyes on other parts of the world that are buying our goods and in particular europe, with regard to-- with respect to what their demand for our product is. >> suarez: diane swonk, with so

around 6500 people were dead; 8000 missing; thousands injured and up to one and half million people lefts. seventy per cent of the country's crops were destroyed including vital banana plantations, and thousands of farm animals perished. damage caused to the transport system, roads, bridges and railways, was put as high as 80 per cent. according to carlos robert flores, the honduran president hurricane mitch had wiped out 50 years of progress in just 24 hours. the hurricane also created mayhem in nicaragua, which bordered honduras to the south. even though it didn't actually make landfall in nicaragua, the spread of the storm's effect the heavy rain in particular resulted in floods and numerous landslides. throughout the country nearly 4000 people would die as their towns and villages were engulfed. two thousand people went missing and more than half a million lost their homes. is on the new news network. >>welcome to the war room. >>jennifer granholm joins current tv. a former two-term governor. >>make your voice heard. >>detremined to find solutions. >>that partnership in order to inve

there are 800 people on the waiting list for the program. this is up from 500 people last year. this is a very narrow target of our overall homeless population. you may be moving existing tenants, as you are cutting an opportunity for 109 more people to come off of the streets. if you look at some of the cost data, folks were moving in the first year, they're seeing a decrease in cost. thank you for your time. i just wanted to urge you to take a closer look at that cut. thank you. >> good afternoon. i and the co-director -- i want to highlight a few concerns. dph has made large investments in camelot. they are thriving communities and they are safe, clean buildings. divesting now seems on unwise. all the tenants are formerly homeless adults with mental health and physical health issues. relocation to another property would be disruptive to dispel it -- to the stability of the tenant population. almost everyone in the building receives health services in the surrounding mission neighborhoods. moving them to another neighborhood would be disruptive. the camelot is a thriving prope

off edge, radio shows people got to get the american people reengaged. there engaged in november 2010 of us got to get a backup. the former senator from minnesota just yesterday, who is an advisor to mayor romney said, well, the gop is not going to repeal this. i thought where is this coming from? is not going to help mr. romney's campaign. we've got to keep up pressure for why it is so important. because of mr. palma is reelected in 2012, he will continue to veto an repeal bills like would have been with the senate in january of last year. it is just so very important that the drumbeat because in canada, since 1974 we still have the single-payer system. there are private banks that are working, but by 2014 will be impossible to get rid of the government program. you can never get rid of government pros

people.n the training we have a lot of volunteers. we have even a foundation for the volunteers. the structures are extremely heavy. i used to work for an administration and then there is the law so complicated that people are not interested in becoming volunteers. so you would like to make it easier to the volunteers. possible to change the rules in the law but can we take into account the different skills, for instance, the people have federal jobs to volunteer. it was a great thing that we should have more security for volunteering. for instance, there is the 26 about the responsibility in germany. i think that we would gain if we were to simplify, streamline the rules so that we would be more protective generally than we could be volunteering without all this difficulty and for instance you could give us the tax holiday for 100 euros. >> the tax code, the rules and the law in order to protect your responsible become and third, the fact we should probably intervene also in the pension

these people are not the cave people of nuba. they actually live in farms and they have, they're the oldest society in the world. and yet now they're forced to hide in caves. it is a campaign of murder and fear and displacement and starvation. and that is also a fact. >> rose: i'm pleased to have john prendergast and george clooney back at this table. welcome. >> thank you, good to be back. >> rose: so tell me what you just returned from south sudan. >> we got off the plane three hours ago. >> rose: what did you do, what did you see. >> do we smell nicer now. >> rose: it was hot. >> it was hot t was rough. we, we had a pretty amazing experience. he, we went up north from the south. there's a camp yida which we started from and then we sort of moved our way into areas that you are not allowed to go. and they don't allow cameras. they don't allow humanitarians. and it's a pretty rough road. we got about six hours north into some of the villages that were, that are being bombed every day. and we were on the ground during a rocket at

i know you love firing people but most people don't have people to fire, let's start with this. >> atemember my father counting the money and after the first 10 million -- humorous anecdote and then the dog trapped all over the vault so -- >> and when you say like gaffs or how he doesn't -- i think with emotion like -- the thing with shamus the dog should the dog be on the roof or not let's take that out, the whole, inc. he's running with is i'm a problem solver. you may be able to vote for him, he's a businessman, problem solver. five kids in the station wagon shamus the irish setter standing in the driveway, you're a billionaire, why are you going on a roof, going and buying a cage from pet and barrel and whatever and putting this irish setter on top -- that's not the way to solve the problem. get another car. you're a billionaire. give shamus his own car. >> let tag drive another car drive a bus. >> and, by the way, he's getting very, very impatient with the coronation, mittens. >> i think we waited to the end of august to have a nomination it makes it a lot tougher to replacing th

this causes people to fear the police. it causes a lot of depression and depression and side of our communities. -- and opression in our communities. the police usually use excessive force or verbal harassment with the youth, and we need police officers to be a lot more conscious of the decisions they make because they shape the thought a the mentality of the youth and the actions that they used to commit. police have a big role in shaping our lives. and the things that they do make us afraid of the people that are here to protect and serve us. it would be a good thing for the police to establish a relationship with the youth and let us know their position. the need to actually check up on the status of the youth, not just health wise, but mentally. i think that the police should play a bigger role in helping sustain the community and rebuilding our community. when the youth see police, they only see them in dangerous situations or causing third or removing chaos within our communities. i think it is a bad thing because we

people calling what you said for free and fair elections. and they're still reporting from the. as you can hear behind me loud explosions. in the. t.v. . you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else hears you some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't i'm sorry is a big issue. in tonight's fireside fridays with your host of cops. this week they called out president obama for going back on yet another one of his campaign promises to not allow lobbyists and his administration to stop their evolving door to let lobbyists go work for the federal government which often results in you guessed that a conflict of interest and also just a campaign promise the president in fact signed an executive order barring a former lobbyist from joining his administration to work at agencies that they've recently lobby so this week the example of hypocrisy was the administration bringing on steam for study to serve as a counselor to the vice president a

i love talking to people and trying to explain economics to people, and i think the combination of the talk-show and also writing a syndicated column, i get a lot of feedback from my fellow americans, and people will say, did you think about this? and it causes them to get more information than the average person would have. i have benefited immensely from my exposure on the talk-show and television. >> how powerful is this show? >> it's the biggest talkshow in the history of radio, 20 million people per week. i think that what this does, talk radio in general has endangered the monopoly of the major media, with different ideas coming in, challenging conventional wisdom, which is powerful. >> next, bill cosby? >> when i was young, i was living in the housing projects in north philadelphia, my mother used to say, the boy will never get anywhere. she was referring to bill cosby. we grew up in the same neighborhood. she was right about most things but she was wrong about that. >> and how well do you know him? >> i knew him well as a kid, but i have not seen him in many years. we served on

i try to remind people when i do lectures that, you know, people don't live in ghettos. people live in communities. there's a difference when you say that. there's a cognitive difference. people don't necessarily live in ghettos, people live in communities. communities in cities. you can say people live in racially segregated communities. but this language of ghettos, and ghettoization, so much of what we read uses the language of the ghetto. but ghettoization i would encourage you to think of it as a process. not necessarily a place. although there are spatial characteristics to racial segregation, poverty, joblessness, political disempowerment. there is a spatial connotation to that. and that's very important. the spatial dynamic is important. the white noose around, right, the black neck, that real vivid kind of visceral image that robert self uses from the 1960s document for the title of that chapter. but again, we will use the language of ghetto analytically, use it sociologically. but that's not license to kind of throw it around as if it -- you know, you cross int

it's a real people in there. -- get some real people in there. more we are sort of disconnected and have less access to the process, think it is important for us to really put pressure on elected officials and candidates by at least accurately reporting the concerns and what is really important to the regular folks who are in our community. >> i read recently had pbs news -- i have not had a lot of respect for what they do come even though i do not like the government -- they have a motto that says there to be boring -- they have a lot of it says dare to be boring. let me bring the question regarding bias. there was a ucla professor who did a book called "left turn" that attempts to make a scientific judgment about the issue of bias. i am suspicious of those, but i have to say he does a pretty good job of it. if you do not agree, you might want to read the book and find out what his arguments are. he thinks we often get the facts right, but the media -- that media news ellis get paid? right, but the message is interpreted in some anyways. -- the

people lack access.es we hear reflect people who have died from lack of health care coverage. >> we are trying to give you a sense of the sights and sounds of what it's like to be on the supreme court plaza today. people have come to voice their opinions on the healthcare law as the justices conduct three days of oral arguments. we are following members of congress on twitter for comments they my post about health care. here is one from kansas -- listening to your calls and taking your tweets. next up is chad from tennessee. you.>> thank our leaders must make themselves aware of the affect this is having on people's health. i believe you can find a direct correlation. >> thank you. a democrat from alabama. these people keep telling us of all these people coming from canada for health care. i know that for a fact and i agree. do they not know or they try to mislead the american people that the canadian government has an agreement with hospitals close to canada to save the money on buying multimillion-doll

people watching at home. so you want everyone to enjoy it, but it's not a spectator sport, an award show, and i try to make it one. but it was my favorite one. it was my favorite one. i really, really enjoyed it. i thought they were a lot lighter and cooler about -- >> i tweeted on the night, i have a picture of how joyous you would have felt the moment you ferris heard that jodie foster and mel gibson were making a movie called "the beaver." >> too easy, isn't it? >> it's what's called a home run, isn't it? knocking it out of the park. >> i think you are single handedly changing the way all americans feel about award ceremonies. when i first came out here, they were the most sickening, back-slapping events imaginable. four, five hours of people telling each other how wonderful they are. you have bricked that balloon so spectacularly, i don't think anyone of them can go back to that anymore. that's why you're this national treasure. >> well, i think it's fine if they want a mutual back-slapping session, but d

and i got a bunch of people to sign it. people would think that's unrealistic.too simplistic for this complex world. do you worry that your pledge, i mean reagan raised taxes seven or eight times. >> and george washington lost the battle of new york. that was not on purpose. i mean reagan didn't want to raise taxes. >> jon: reagan didn't want to raise taxs? >> no. >> jon: but he did it eight times? >> no. he had a congress with whom he raised taxes a number of times. when i talked to him about it, the big tax increase was the '2 tax increase. >> jon: you're not the only one he talked to. he told me he did it eight times. >> the '82 tax inkurri he said was the biggest mistake of his presidency because, of course, remember he was promised, oh, if you raise taxes we'll give you $3 spending. >> jon: he kept raising them in '82, '83, '85. so would you have run somebody against him? >> no. the good news is.... >> jon: why not? >> well, one he hadn't signed the pledge. >> jon: (laughing). it's a good thing it's not reductive. >> look, the reason why the pledge works is

people who have money or positions feel more entitled than other people.probably the reason it happens. >> i always said the bathrooms are cleaner in coach because people are used to having to share the world more. those business class bathrooms are so messy. >> thank you, appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> back to our big story. a dozen states from the gulf of mexico to the great lakes are all hit by tornados in the last 24 hours. in three minutes, the scene outside atlanta where houses were destroyed and airports tossed around. no. it's truck month! no. it's truck month! no. it's truck month! no. it's chevy truck month! definitely that one, boss. solid. let's try the other one again. ♪ chevy truck month ♪ no. it's truck month! ♪ truck month ♪ no. truck month! no. it's chevy truck month. yeah.
