craig shirley: in mrs.linton's defense, almost everybody except almost everybody supported going into iraq, also everybody, and that was a natural reaction to 9/11. the democrats also have their divisions, too, and that is part of the fuel for bernie sanders' campaign, anti-iraq war. but hindsight is 2020 and it remains to be seen whether this issue will dog mrs. clinton or not. host: let me put the events into context. first, why did gerald ford decide not to run for a full term and then change his mind? craig shirley: well he, yeah, you did your homework. he wrote a piece after he became vice president, and then shortly after became president after nixon resigned in 1974. i think he got bad advice. don't forget, the country was in very, very sad shape as of august 1974 because we are still involved in vietnam on the , losing end of vietnam, inflation, interest rates, gas lines, arab oil embargoes, and in every way, shape and form, every measurable way consumer, , people's attitudes, it was not in good sha

so i so appreciate the work that bishop shirley has done and her team here. they're demonstrating in real ways how you affect real lives and lift people up and get them out of poverty. there's an amazing organization in my area in georgia, in the atlanta area, called georgia works. in a unique way they're addressing homelessness and poverty and criminal residism and -- recidivism. and they do it person-to-person, one individual at a time and making sure we are providing the needs for that individual which are different than the one before. we need to incentivize those programs that work, that are responding positively to people's needs and helping folks get back on their feet. we ought to and we can do a better job making certain we provide for those in need. i hope that this report right here, this "better way," which is really an outline of how we can move forward in a positive way and make certain we decrease the number of americans living in poverty, i hope that this will be the beginning of a positive discussion on the positive changes that are necessary
