Women are at the forefront in college. I own my own hair salon. We own our own businesses. It gets a little bit ridiculous. It takes away from some other issues. I think we are doing fine these days.

They need to talk about how to fight for the christian values. I do not have a problem with lesbians or a gaze. I feel there is more talk about fighting for them instead of a christian. I want someone to speak on the disparities when it comes to jobs, when it comes to help alth when it comes to religion. There is discrimination when it comes to older will when theyre in their 50s and they are looking for a job. I feel like when you are filling out and application there is discrimination.

That is just an example. I really wanted to say im an independent voter. I am really excited for Hillary Clinton this time. I just wanted to say for everybody that is listening, this is the First Time Ever that we have ever had a chance for somebody that is truly qualified. She has been a lawyer, a signature, a first lady. She ran the white house. She can run the white house now. She has been serving in foreign relations. She is a mother, a grandmother. This woman is famous in places that nobody has even heard of. If anyone steps on that, i dont care what mistake she ate. Everyone has a list eight. This is the first time where she has made a mistake and grown in her leadership. Take advantage of it and vote for hillary. Thank you. Host diana from florida, you are next. Caller it is good to see you. I would like to comment. I agree with this lady that just talked about hillary. I hope she makes it. She is the greatest. I know her backgrounds. I want to talk about Social Security and medicare. People are not talking about the seniors. We vote. The little bit we have got in cost of living with Social Security is counteracted diabetic here. Then by medicare. Then we do not get anything. Down here in florida, doctors and medicare are leaving in droves because theyre going into the concierge for the wealthier people. Because of the cuts they are leaving medicare. Im stuck without a job or, trying to find one who is very well if i which i mean now because i do have some things that need to be taken care of. I hate to be a burden to my children. I tried to take care of the house. If you have any money in the bank at all that you have been saving and you are a husband and have gotten together, we have no interest on our money. The money i had five years ago from when my husband passed away five years ago has dwindled to have. I am worried. We need to Pay Attention to the seniors. My kids are like 62 and a 63. They will be going into Social Security and here. They have had to pay for College Educations and their grandchildren. We have a lot of expenses, women and everyone else here. The good jobs, not just minimum wage jobs. Trade hills are making this happen. People have not gotten the benefits from unemployment. They are trying to find out on the people have lost their jobs wouls. We have twoo reenter it every year. Host diana and florida talking about Social Security and jobs. Hunter is from california. Caller good morning. Thank you. Whos going to speak up for the homeless women of this country who lost everything to to the economic meltdown who are out there just to survive with their children on the street, buying a shelter every night . Being homeless is that mean youre sitting around doing nothing. They are moving around every day, trying to find work in daycare and day programs for their kids. Being looked down and spent on by society, not knowing that you are probablys hitting on a doctor or former dentist. People can say that is impossible. It is not impossible. That is happening. I have met them. I am appalled in california alone the homeless women between the ages of 60 and 705 is out of control. The government to me is a bad joke that has to be to bed. If we do not do something for the homeless women and children, we will lose a society of children. These women are talking about hillary lenton. A mother, grandmother. She is a liar. Eight shea cheat, a liar, and a murderer. Lets get these homeless women a place where they can go and be safe, where they can get their lives back together. I am trying to organize a nationwide homeless woman march. Ladies, keep your eyes open. Try to buy a meal for a homeless family. Show some love. That is all i have to say. Host that is hunter
