Root problems. you see that 78% of americans are living paycheck to paycheck. we automated away 4 million manufacturing jobs in the swing states and now 30% of americas stores and malls are closing because of amazon. being a retail clerk is the most common job in most of the country. even if we were to get rid of donald trump in 2020, and i frankly expect him to be there and to beat him at the ballot box, then we have to do the hard work of reversing many of the problems that got him elected in ...

20 minutes with residents and reporters, no concrete promises that federal funding for handling homelessness. is that a fair assessment? >> of course not. i made it very clear that i wanted to hear their side of the story. i wanted to hear from some of the residence there. we want to look at all of the possibilities. i also told them, you know, this is not us giving you money. i said we need to be able to sit down, we need to be able to explore what the causes of the homelessness are. and we nee...
