In new ones and getting our kids a Healthy Future . [applause] fmr. Pres. Clinton she wants to put up half a billion solar panels in the next four years. [applause] fmr. Pres. Clinton half a billion. Look, when president bush was in office, his Energy Department said that there is enough wind blowing between north dakotas border with canada and west texas border with mexico to Electrify America several times over. Complete. The problem is that with certain exceptions, the wind blows where the people are not. So, can you imagine the number of jobs we could create redoing our electrical grid and building those cables and pipelines and putting all of those things . None of those jobs could be exported, those are american jobs. There were be jobs in arizona. [applause] fmr. Pres. Clinton for those to tell you this is not economical, let me just say this, there are three states in this country that already get a third or more of their electricity every day from the wind. Minnesota, iowa, and believe it or not, texas. And come iowa has the lowest electric rates in the United States of america. Because they rely on Homegrown Energy and all the jobs it creates and all the incomes those farmers make. [applause] hillary wants to bring manufacturing back to this country. I want to say a little about that. I dont know if you read the story about the carrier moving those jobs out of indiana and going to mexico. They should not be able to get a Tax Deduction for the cost of that relocation. They should give back all the state and local tax credits they got for the next five years. If they were losing money it would be one thing. They admitted this was part of a highly profitable airconditioning business in the United States. And they admitted in the story they were removing the plant because the shareholders wanted more money and the chief executive and the other top guys there bonuses depend on the value of the share. If you do Something Like that you are going to have to pay an exit tax. [applause] i bet you anything if they let that guy go, running the company, he would get a golden parachute. Its about time the workers of this country got some golden parachutes. She is not against all trade deals. She believes in competition, but it has to be fair. They have been trying to do this for 30 years, but in the last 15 the trail had picked up steam. The old understanding we had about corporations is totally broken down. When hillary and i met in law school 100 years ago this is the way Corporate Law was taught. Corporations are not citizens, they are creations of the state. They get certain kinds of liability from certain kinds of losses. They have an obligation to all of their constituents evenly. We have seen this headlong rush to say here are the shareholders appear and everybody else down here. When an activist shareholder practically ruled out chemical enforcement out of dupont, he was trying to force them to sell a division that was making money and that he admitted would make twice as much within three years and was serving customers. Said i dont care, i want my money. That is Capital Gains today. Hillary thinks we ought to link than that Capital Gains time to two or three years. There will be much of that business. She thinks when people leave we have to charge them an extra tax and spend more money to take care of the workers that have been left behind and give incentives to bring jobs back to america. Just so you wont think this is pieinthesky, when i ran for president in 1992, my state was one of only eight states in america that gained manufacturing jobs in the previous decade. Labor is a smaller percentage of all manufacturing because it is highly productive. What really matters now is the cost of material, energy, and transportation. Hillarys argument for getting into advanced manufacturing is simple. Since we have the biggest market in the world, lets save the transportation cost and make more things here. It makes a lot of sense. [applause] finally we shouldnt give the two thirds of the new jobs in this country, for 20 years they have been made by small business. We dropped out of the top 10 countries in the world in business formation. We have to get back. The dodd frank law is the second best law he has signed after the healthcare bill, i dont care what anybody has told you, it will stop wall street from wrecking main street. There is one hole in it. It was a terrible mistake, a lot of people voted for that bill. Honestly they didnt know what they were doing. It was an honest terrible mistake. The other problem is a lot of people are worried about the last war instead of this one. The law clearly says loans to small businesses, to farmers, to entrepreneurs should not be subject to the same kind of rules that 80 billion loans many places are doing that. Hillary wants to say lets go back to community banking. More than 90 of all the money loaned ever under the law, lets get funds to our small businesses, get funds people. We can do that. We have some barriers. We have plenty of barriers to what she believes is necessary. If we are going to have shared prosperity, we cant do that until every single american has the opportunity to live up to her or his godgiven ability. Everybody in this country. We have to tear the barriers down. She really believes that we have to have comprehensive immigration reform. She really believes we have to protect the dreamers. She really believes we have to stop demagogueing this issue. Indian country has the highest rate of sovereignty than any group in the United States. Didnt have anything to do with immigrants. For somebody to stand up and say they are going to send back 11. 5 Million People, it is not only wrong, it will crater the american economy. Shes going to say lets all just calmed down and realize that our youth and diversity and Global Economy is a massive advantage, and lets embrace our advantage and stop demonizing. Second thing we have to do is to realize as long as we are divided over fundamental issues like public safety, we are in terrible shape. We are all sick of seeing these videos of Police Shooting young africanamericans who never should have been shot. Doesnt matter what your races, you dont like that. I was in an africanamerican church in chicago. If you remember what happened in san bernardino, you saw the police at their best. Going in time and again, risking their lives, saving people regardless of their race, their gender, their religion, or politics. What hillary believes is yes you have to have reform. When videotapes are taken they need to be put in a secure place where they cant be messed with or retrieved at an inappropriate time. If we need more police, they should look like the community they are policing. That is what we did. When i was president we put 110,000 police on the streets. And we got a 25 year low in crime. We can do this again. We need prison reform. There are too many people in prison for nonviolent offense. The federal system alone, only 7 of the people there are there for violent crimes. Some of them need to be there because they ripped off a lot of people financially. The point is this is costing you a fortune to keep all these people in prison. And they can make a contribution to our future. She has the first proposal of this on any candidate in either party in the campaign. I will say this, this is a chance where we can get the parties to Work Together. There are a lot of republicans who think we need to do that. The only thing she pointed that out is if you are going to lift people out of prison, you dont want to turn around and welcome them back in within six months. You need a transition system which includes education training, job placement, and no job discrimination for people who have the chance to start again. [applause] look, i want to Say Something about this gun safety issue. Its a big deal to me. When i was president we didnt have universal background checks. We pass the assault weapons ban. But i had a big cultural advantage, because i was a governor of arkansas i had a. 22 when i was 10 years old, i had a. 410 shot, and i was 14. Couldnt wait for duck season every year. Like gabby and mark, nobody ever talks about taking peoples Second Amendment rights away. That is what is fueling the fear people have with the nra. It is there ability to scare your fellow citizens that the democrats are coming to get your guns. I remember we lost one dozen members of congress on the battlefield of the brady bill when we passed background check law. Before i left office, mystic abusers, stockers, and others were denied the right to get a handgun. There would be more than that but there were to do problems with that bill. One is they couldnt get the votes to close the gun show loophole. And like my native state, a gun show with a couple of guys with guns in the back of their pickups. And there were no online gun sales when this bill passed. The third problem we had then that we still have is that the Mental Health records, with which the nra always says they are for, are not organized or automated throughout the country. Sometimes the background checks cannot be completed. That is what happened at virginia tech. That is why that young man in charleston went into that church. And it might have affected what happened at sandy hook. What hillary wants to do is say, look, the Supreme Court says you have the right to keep and bear arms, i wouldnt mess with it anyway. You should be able to hunt, you should be able to have guns to protect your family. There are a lot of people in arizona and arkansas that live in from the nearest law enforcement. It is crazy for our fellow citizens to stop sensible background checks, which would save lives of people just because theyre disproportionately in the city, just because they are disproportionately young, just because they are disproportionately people of color doesnt mean their lives dont need to be protected and saved. I saw the president arguing with that sheriff of yours on television the other night. [laughter] not yours, anyway, you know what i mean. He argued, we messed this thing up so much we couldnt fix it anyway. They said the same thing when i was president. Heres what i know, dont you forget this, this is why hillary is fighting for this, we had a 33 year low in the murder rate, but we had a 46 year low in deaths from illegal gun violence, dont tell me it didnt make a difference. And there are untold numbers of people Walking Around because Congress Took that vote. And somewhere between 12 and 15 members lost their seats for having the courage to do it. But it was the right thing to do. When hillary talks to people i think she can convince them she is not coming for their guns and they should do their part as americans to help save these childrens lives. [applause] a lot of you dont know this, upstate new york is pretty republican. She met with all the gun clubs, met with all the hunting groups, and she got there. She used to go duck hunting when she was in arkansas. My daughter was young and thought it was grievous and wouldnt talk to her for a day. We get this but when you look at gabby and mark, when you look at ron, and you realize that we live in a society with a lot of really disturbed people, can we save every life . No. What is behind this is a corporate interest that wants to increase profits by keeping constituents terrified so they will buy more guns. That is all this is about. [applause] i have been doing this all my life. I endorsed background checks as governor 11 years before it passed. My uncle called me and said they were fixing to kill me over this. He said i ought to drop it. He said if i could find one legislator that will before it he will stick with me, otherwise drop it. If you cant do anything about it, dont do it. The time came we could do it, and we did it. And lives were saved. [applause] lots and lots and lots of people. I want you to talk to your friends and neighbors about that. If you want these jobs, if you want to finish the work of health care reform, reorganize the Insurance Market until the copays and the deductables go down and the insurance really works so we can get to 100 of people insured. If you want to encourage the legislature to put the children to Health Insurance program back in the law of arizona, we have convince people to vote in the primary and go out and talk to our neighbors. One of the greatest honors of being reelected president in 1996 was that i was the first democrat to carry arizona since harry truman in 1948. [applause] and i think it can happen again. I think it can happen again, but only if we talk to each other. You look at all the stuff you see on television, it is designed to get people to shut their brains off. Be very mad, feel very threatened. For goodness sakes, dont think. Hillary trusts you to think. [applause] i just want to say one other thing, we have to do something for all these workingclass people cant find another job all over america. In 2000 i signed a bill called the new markets tax credit, which gave a 39 tax credit to people who would invest money in places like native American Reservations or appalachia or any other place that had persistently high unemployment and persistently low income. And it made a big difference in a lot of those places. There are places in Eastern Kentucky you wouldnt even recognize. Congress would allow that to expire. Hillary proposes we put that back in and more, so we can all grow together. [applause] so that is my argument. The last thing i want to say is, just look at what she did when she says they are smart, those guys. When she got a hold of them, it changed. When she was first lady and we lost on health care, because we didnt have 60 votes in the senate to break a republican filibuster, and listen to that when people say they are going to give you a Different Health care system, we didnt pass anything since world war ii with 60 votes. A lot of people lost their jobs over that. So we got it. But when she got beat she kept working to get Health Insurance past, worked with senator kennedy. We got 75 of the republicans to vote for it. Then the other big deal she did was go to the House Republican leader, who i believe disliked me more than anybody in congress. He was their enforcer. He said, hillary, do we have anything in common . She said, you love your kids, dont you you . Whatever our differences, i know your children are adopted. I honor you for your adopting them. Heres the problem, children are aging out of foster care with no education options, no training options. They are just going to be on the street. I want you to deal with the problem. He said, what is the problem . People are afraid to adopt children who arent infants, and afraid to adopt children with special needs. I want to give a tax credit to adopt noninfant children and children with special needs. [applause] they pass the bill, the congressman came to the white house, and it was an 80 increase in the number of kids adopted out of foster care because of that. And when she was a senator, she worked with john mccain and Lindsey Graham to take care of veterans coming home from the National Guards and reserves to make sure they get the same Health Care People in regular military get. To get them the protective gear they deserve one sent into combat zones. She worked with republican groups in new york to get small manufacturers into ecommerce and help family farmers. And when she ran for reelection, the head of the farm bureau at long island were the only family farm endorser. She said i thought you were a republican, he said, i am. He said, look, all these politicians and greater at election time, all i know is she is the only person in either party who ever actually did anything to help us make a living as farmers. And when she was secretary of state she had republican support with sanctions on iran, which they dont like. If iran gets a Nuclear Weapon in the next 10 years, three or four other countries in the middle east will get it, and then we will never know what is happening to all that nuclear material. The real reason you should want iran to not have a Nuclear Weapon, is because you do not want to have an arms race in the middle east. That would be out of control. She got support for that. She got the only treaty that got along with mr. Putins russia, which reduces the threat of accidental or intentional nuclear war. A treaty like that requires 67 votes in the senate, even if you get all the democrats thats a lot of republicans. She got them. [applause] thats my argument, literally since she got out of law school and went to work for the childrens defense school, trying to get africanamerican teenagers out of prisons where they were in jail for years, mexicanamerican voters who were citizens for a long time but systematically excluded, try to get people in the hills of north arkansas the first access to Legal Services they ever had, from the beginning she had always been trying to make something good happen. Long ever since she was elected anything. She is the most qualified person at this moment in time. [applause] i want you to go out there between now and tuesday and pull people in. Here we are in the moment of being able to we are discarding so many of our past bigotry we dont want to be around anybody that disagrees with us anymore. We have seen too many of our fellow americans too long without a raise. She has a plan to make College Debt Free and help people already in debt be able to consolidate that and pay a tiny percentage so it will not stop them. We will not stop them from going further in life. We have to do this. If you want to rise together, i want you to get out there and help. Will you do it . [applause] one of the happiest memories of my political life was in 1996 when arizona for the First Time Since harry truman voted for a democrat. [applause] i would like to see it happen again. But it depends on what you do tuesday. Thank you and god bless you. [applause]. Hillary clinton is in washington tomorrow. She is one of several paying at the 8 00 hour. Later in the day, our coverage continues with the republican president ial candidates. We will hear from governor john kasich, donald trump, and senator ted cruz. Quite cspan takes you on the road to the white house as we all of the candidates on seas then, since in radio the span. Org. Many of our veterans have come to talk about who they want to vote for. Your civic duty to get out and vote their i encourage you to do your research and vote for. You fea s best support [indiscernible] i would encourage everyone to go out and support it possible. Issue isst important going to the College Tuitions as well as job. Students need to know how they are going to pay and afford for school. What the job market is going to look like. He was trying to bring jobs back into the u. S. Toi was originally going vote for bernie sanders. Voted for hillary because she seems more knowledgeable and she has been in this environment before. Shes my countrys leader. She has been secretary of states. She knows the inner workings of the white house and how the game goes. We want to spend the next 30 minutes with the one campaign affiliated with bono. Lets talk about poverty in america. Povertyer of people in around the world, 700 million. They are living below one dollar 90 a day. And that limits the ability for education, health, nutrition and adequate food supply, so it is particularly concentrated in subsaharan africa. You mentioned the difficulty of the numbers. That number has been cut in half in the last 20 years, so there is good news even though there is a tremendous way to go. Host 1. 2 billion People Living on less than 1. 25 a day. Subsaharan africa and salvation accounting for 80 of the poor. 1. 25 a day. Subsaharan africa and salvation accounting for 80 of the poor. Children and newborns until the age of 12. Guest children and women are hit hardest by extreme poverty. It is a onetwo punch to be born a woman in the poorest parts of the world. Hit by theof this is most formidable, so our policies that we advocate are concentrated on those groups. Itt how can the policy turn to practicality of helping the poor . Guest the United States is one of the biggest donors on the planet along with france, u. K. And germany. When those countries Work Together to design policies and provide funding for programs we know tackle poverty, whether to combat hivaids or incredible progress or provision of clean water, getting kids in school, or providing training for farmers so they can grow their own crops and help build sustainability over time, that is what we want. Host why has bono taken this up as a leading cause for him . Guest dealing with these issues has been part of his own personal commitment as well as is part of. He they started many years ago raising money for charity. It was one of the Biggest Charity rock concerts in history and they raised a tremendous amount of money the first time that it had been done at the scale. What they raised at that concert was the same amount of money that poor countries are paying back to rich countries and debt payment. A policy response and began to deal with some of the challenges, whether it is debts that cannot be paid, Health Crises that need to be tackled were more food to help people get what they need. Host how significant was the program by the george w. Bush administration with the efforts . Guest tremendously important. Thehiv aids program helped emergency plan for aids relief. It sort of broke the mold in a number of ways. The u. S. Strategy to combating hiv aids globally, which was killing 6000 people a day at the time, 6000 people a day, our strategy was prevention. There was very little to be done to help people who are the contracted the disease, but the Bush Administration working with activists and signed his, decided they would provide largescale treatment of people with the disease. That was unconventional in the approach to the disease and incredibly important in terms of politics. Partybefore has the two together to work on a difficult global problem and in a bipartisan way past legislation which still is bipartisan today. Host president obama urging congress to pass the electorate by africa act, a basic fundamental need of having electricity. What has been the problem and what is the significance of this in what happened . Guest the problem, seven out of 10 people in africa have no access to electricity, nine out of 10 in remote areas. We would not be on this said, your viewers would not be able to see this program, let alone refrigerate their food or study for exams after dark. Electricity impacts everything that we are trying to do in terms of lessening extreme poverty, particularly in africa. , president frica obamas initiative to get more electricity to africa, and Bipartisan Legislation in the Congress Called electrify getca, is an initiative to 60 Million People access to electricity for the first time tourban and rural areas and begin to build this Transformative Impact that axis to electricity will provide. The sport of this legislation andbrought republicans democrats together. A few weeks ago, it was passed in the house and senate and signed by the president. Host our guest is a former Senate Staffer for cranston of california and in west virginia, a graduate of harvard and the u. S. Executive director of the one campaign, tom hart. Our phone lines are open. 202 7488000 for democrats. 202 7488001 for republicans. Cspan wj andt at join us on facebook. Gary in indiana. Good morning. Caller good morning. That me point something out that i believe is the most significant as far as what the problem is. And is that the congress the two parties in particular, they have a dream, to create an oligarchy Political Society and they look down on poor middleclass people and say, you are an obstacle. If you want to settle for this and not strive for finer things, we will implement policies like higher taxes in place and leave by the time we are done with you, you will be at the caveman level. Host thank you. We will focus on the situation on this country. We are an organization dedicated to feeding extreme poverty globally and that includes the United States. We work with tremendous partners around the country from state organizations to secular ngos and to the government and state localities who are fighting poverty in the u. S. That is not one particular expertise but we focus globally that we do support those who are doing it and it is the right thing to do. Host when you talk about poverty in this country, how significant is poverty tied into the opioid and heroin and drug epidemic that we are seeing in so many bluecollar areas and a have been losing jobs and struggling . Guest there is no doubt that Many Americans are struggling, whether it is drugs, poverty or even hunger. The kind of hunger and malnutrition and Disease Burden that we see in places like subsaharan africa, i have to say is that a different scale. There is not the Social Security or Medicaid Program to back them up or a local emergency room someone can come to or a food pantry. There really is nothing. The kind of extreme poverty that we are talking about is so widespread and where there is no sort of safety net to catch those who are the most formidable. That is what the United States doesnt generously along with other donors and those of the programs we support. Host this is from edward perkins, imagine if we attacked poverty around the world with the same support we do for war. Guest that would be incredible. Is an underinvested part of our foreignpolicy apparatus. Experts lookpolicy at the foreignpolicy toolbox as 3d, defense, diplomacy and development. Development is underinvested and provides a Huge Development or a huge [indiscernible] andamerican selfinterest stability when we invest in it. It is less than 1 of the u. S. Federal budget of more people think it is close to 20 but it is less than 1 . We have contributed to housing global poverty and we have put Million People on inter antiretroviral drugs for hiv aids that we have cut malaria and have to many countries. Incredible progress with pennies on the dollar. Host a clarification from another viewer saying that when you say, seven out of 10 in africa, are you speaking of the continent, urban and rural areas . Guest i am speaking of subsaharan africa, so there is a band of countries in the north and im talking about below the saharan desert and the 48 countries there and i am talking about urban and rural. Host lets go to george in california. Caller good morning. Host go ahead. Caller thank you. It is a very important topic that you are discussing. Ono for with b ourting poverty, etc. , but planet is overpopulated and i am a physician. We have gotten rid of cholera, smallpox, aids, but we have not. Ontrolled the World Population it is inciting poverty and disease. Shouldnt we also talk about the population of this world, such as promoting worldwide birthcontrol . Host thank you. Guest thank you so much. A great question and a good point. How we lived sustainably on this planet is tied to fighting poverty, particularly in africa. People are feeling the effects of overpopulation, Climate Change almost first and hardest because of the poverty the experience. It is an interesting phenomenon. As countries become wealthier and people gain years in education and better health, they have fewer children. Women in africa often i hate to put it crassly, but hedged their bets because unfortunately, too often, children die so they have many more in order to ensure that at least a few of them survive. There because of the poverty of population growth in subsaharan africa, it is large. We believe Economic Prosperity, education, health care is one, not all, but one of the tact ics to address your concern. Host a lot of tweets, one from christian, simple question what can those of us with less money to give due to help . Guest great question. One of the things that we are asking everyone to do is contact their members of congress to support these programs. One campaign this not ask people for their money. We ask for their voice. Little, togreat and participate by being voters. We need to give our politicians the permission to do the right thing and support programs we know actually make a difference in poor peoples lives. You can go to one. Org and we will arm you with the information and possibility to weigh in on this. Attainhe growing gap more educated and less educated is also a contributing factor. Guest we believe education is the cornerstone for one of the things needed to build Economic Prosperity as well as the human dignity. My kids are always praying for us no day here in maryland, but people in africa are praying for the chance to go to school. There is a hugely important issue that binds the issues together. Host lets go to john in ohio. You are with tom hart, the executive Director Director of the one campaign and the United States. Caller good morning, tom. Guest good morning. Caller i was watching in toledo, ohio, and ipad i would be remiss if i did not mention that there is a candidate for the president of the United States, the governor from ohio, john kasich, who if you remember, worked with by law when congressman kasich championed the effort not to poverty but for aids in africa. It was one of those things where bono got together with congressman kasich in an effort to make sure that he could get in front of other congressmen because i dont think bono was being taken seriously, and there was one of those things that ono got together and there were many stories on it. Could you speak on that . You for remembering that. Governor kasich is a good friend and remains a good friend of bono and the one campaign. He was there in the early days and i was there as well when congressman kasich, then, helped introduce us to important players around washington and helped us understand how things work in this town, and really made a huge difference in terms of debt relief for the poorest countries as well as Building Support to tackle hivaids. Governor really does understand how the u. S. Government can make a difference in poor peoples lives and he has been a good friend and champion over the years. Host michelle in wisconsin. Good morning. Caller good morning. Thank you for taking my call. I admire what you are doing. It is a good thing. I do believe that, even though you are not funding in certain government, if one needs to have helped to the government to do what you are doing, i guess it is a good day. You probably have a little battle with some of the republicans because they have already made it perfectly clear that even in wisconsin, they are doing so many cuts to help out the poor. They just do not seem to have a conscience to that. They do not want people to get Higher Education unless you can afford it right up front. They are cutting medicare and medicaid or the disabled and the most Vulnerable People in our thinkities, so i just that you are probably having a battle with some of the republicans because the establishment has changed so much on the republican side, but i admire everything you are doing. I am glad that you are making our country alert to what is going on globally, so thank you so much or your efforts. Guest thank you. Very nice of you to say. If i could comment quickly, we have enjoyed support from both democrats and republicans over the 12 years or 13 years that we have worked. I have to say, it was president bush and republicans in the congress that really broke the mold to fight mobile hiv and aids, working with democrats. It is one of the areas where the two parties have come together. Sometimes it does not get Headline News because they agree, but it has been exciting to see the kind of great progress they have made. Legislation has been passed and partnerships have been built between the two parties working on the issues. You are absolutely right that it is a challenge for republicans and democrats worried about the budget for making sure we get the most from every dollar that we commit to these issues. We are committed to getting the most from every dollar. Or gently, we continue to enjoy that support from both sides. View comment from another were saying that clean air to breathe and clean water to drink need to be top priority. In terms of federal dollars spent on this effort, can you identify a specific number . Guest it is about 50 billion dollars, which is an sounds like a tremendous amount of money, but like i mentioned earlier, less than 1 of the federal budget. Spend think that we upward of 20 of the federal budget on foreign aid, and that is not to, it is less than 1 . Wordwe pick apart the foreign aid. Most people associate that with blank checks to dictators abroad. What i am talking about is money for programs that hit precise activated, get kids to get girls in school, to train farmers to grow better crops. This is not sort of our grandfathers foreign aid. There has been a revolution in the Development Industry to focus on results, transparency and targeted results. Host the scope to ohio. Good morning. Lets go to ohio. Good morning. Caller good morning. Thank you very much for being there. Mr. Hart, thank you. I worked year marine, with the state department at that kind of stuff, and i really think that your focus is malign. I am in southern ohio. There are many places in this area and you will not notice a lot of difference between subsaharan and other places. We are forgotten. The drug problem is absolutely stupendous. It is hardly ever talked about, even on the state tv in columbus. [indiscernible] kasich is a nice guy but he is an attorney. All of that on bills that the state carried for the lower poverty areas and turned ofund and put the burden taking care of those bills on the poor people. If youre in an area where youre making good money and you are lucky to have jobs, you are great, but in other areas, it has turned worse and you have generational problems with the welfare. Host we do have a few minutes left but i want to give tom hart a chance to respond. Thank you. Guest people in america are hurting. There is real poverty and real need and we need to make sure as a country and ask the u. S. Government that we are tackling those issues. My organization focuses on one element, which is Global Extreme poverty around the world and the very targeted ways that we can tackle that. There are unbelievably good partners and groups and Government Programs that the Government Supports that tackle poverty here and we should do more. Host a number of tweets, let me read one from john in north carolina. How much do churches contribute . I assume he means percentagewise. Guest i am afraid i dont have that specifically. Host how important are religious organizations . Very important. Much of the u. S. Funding that we advocate and they provide is directed to faithbased and other nonprofit organizations. The catholic relief services. Worldwide in health, hunger programs, education and they are one of the ways that the u. S. Government tackle these programs around the world, so the majority of money from the u. S. Government to fight poverty children and newborns until the he will talk about the the beach of and what his on the agenda. Heowsfall sheers what learned in his threeyear journey across the u. S.
