  Speaker 4: twenty ninth, cause the Georgia Representative Rich McCormick.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: He is a Republican who was on.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: CNN yesterday defending Trump's federal age freeze on school lunch programs. Now,
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know about y'all, but I grew up on
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: school lunch programs. Okay, during the school year and that summertime.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: My grandmother was a lunch lady at Alria Ready Intermediate
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: School in mont Corner, South Carolina. Dropping the clues mom
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: for Alright Ready into Media School. Okay, So sometimes she
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: would bring those lunches home. And I'm gonna tell you
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: something I remember one kid in fourth grade who was
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: so poor. Mind you, none of us came from any money,
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: but he had it worse than a lot of us.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: That school lunch.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Program was the only time that young brother used to
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: eat throughout the whole day. And I remember we had
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: an evil, mean ass teacher named Miss Freeman. That woman
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: used to punish that young man by telling him he
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: couldn't eat lunch.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And I'll never.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Forget the pain in that young man's face when she
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: used to do that to him. People are really, really cruel,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: and that's what we are seeing from folks like Rich McCormick. Okay,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: not only does he agree with the federal aide freeze
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: on school lunch programs, he says that kids should be
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: working instead of receiving free lunch. Let's go to CNN
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Pamela Brown for the report.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Police, would you support getting rid of you know, school
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: lunch for vulnerable.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Kids and breakfast and head start? Do you support that?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And what do you say to your constituents when you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Talking about school lunches? Hey, I worked my way through
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: high school. I know about you, but I worked since
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I was before I was even thirteen years old, I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: was picking berries in the field before a child, labor
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: laws that precluded that.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I was a paper boy.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And when I was in high school, I worked my
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: entire way through. You're telling me that kids who stay
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: at home instead of going to work at Burger King
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: McDonald's during the summer should stay at home and get
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: their free lunch instead of going to work. I think
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: we need to have a top down review works lunch.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: I would say that's not necessarily a fair assessment of
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: all of the kids.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So you would say all the kids in your district
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: who use the.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Free lunch for example, or breakfast, they're all just seeing
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: at home and not working. Okay, I just want to clarify,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: because this gives us a chance.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Now, this gives us a chance.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: This gives us a chance though to see where is
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the money really being spent. How many people got their
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: start in fast food restaurants when there are kids, versus
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: just giving a blanket rule that gets all kids lunches
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: in high school who are capable of going out and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: actually getting a job and doing something that makes them
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: have value thinking about their future instead of thinking about
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: how they're going to sponge off the government.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, you want high school kids to get a job.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: What about elementary school?
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: What about middle school kids? Like, let me tell you
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: something man that you already probably know. America does not
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: give a damn about poor people. I mean, they could
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: care less. When I first heard this story, I thought
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: to myself, does Rich McCormick know that they are poor?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: White?
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: You know, you know kids that he'll be depriving as well,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: because you know, blackness is just my default setting. So
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I just assume this is happening because of race, because
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: growing up I was a black kid who benefited from
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: school lunch programs.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: But no, guys like.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Rich McCormick don't give a damn about color. They care
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: about they don't give it. They don't give a damn
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: about race. They don't give a damn about poor people.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Period. Okay, it's all a matter of class.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: But I just want to tell folks like Rich McCormick
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: because the Trump administration is a head of schedule on
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: ruining the economy, by the way, I want to say,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: I want to say something, but they are ahead of schedules.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: See, I've told y'all before.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: That the economy since World War Two does better when
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: it's a Democrat in the White House. And this isn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: about party affiliation because I'm an independent. I'm just dealing
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: with facts. There have been eleven recessions in this country.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Ten of them have been Republican led, So I'm already
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: anticipating that for this administration.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Say what you want, Democrats create jobs.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Democrats at least attempt to expand the middle class and
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: strengthen the economy. Okay, I understand that a lot of
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: folks don't always feel that in their pockets, so it's hard.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: For people to believe that I get it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Well, let's be clear, this capitalist society we live in
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: doesn't matter who's in charge. Okay, Republicans are Democrats because
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: the gap between the haves and have nots is so wide. Okay,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: the wealth inequality in this country is so great that
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: what they are currently implementing by attempting to order this
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: federal spending freeze, you stop in Medicaid, school breakfast lunch programs,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Section eight, rental assistance, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Infants and Kids, farm credits, the VA, the SPA, defense contracts,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: anything that provides people with financial relief.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: They trying to put a freeze on rich McCormick.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: If the have nots the poor, if they hungry and
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: can give food, what you think they're gonna eat? That's right,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: your ass. Wait a minute, that might have decided you.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Not your literal ass.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I mean figuratively as an eat the rich.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, let me give you a reminder from the late
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Great two Parks your core on what happens when a
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: country doesn't take care of the least of us.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: If I know that in this hotel room they have
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: food every day, and I'm knocking on the door every
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: day to eat, and they tell and they open the door,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: let me see the party. Let me see like they're
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: throwing salami all over the I mean just like throwing
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: food around. But they're telling me there's no food in me.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Every day I'm standing outside trying to sing my way in.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, We are hungry. Please let
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: us in. We are hung we please.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Let him say.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: After about a week that song was gonna change that
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: we hungry, we need some food. After two three weeks,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: it's like, you know, give me a the food and
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: raking out of the door. And after a year and
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: just like you know what I'm saying. I'm picking the lock,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: coming through the door, blasting you know what I'm saying.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: It's like you hungry, you reach your level, you don't
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: want anymore. We asked ten years ago, we was asking
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: with the Panthers. Who was asking with them? You know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: a civil rights movement? Who's asking?
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: You know? Now?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Now those people that were asking, they're all day and
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: in jail. So now what do you think?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: It's only a matter of time?
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Okay, Rich McCormick, this is how I know of folks
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: like yourself.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Y'all don't really believe in Christ.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Y'all don't really believe in Christ because Matthew twenty five
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: forty talks about taking care of the least the bus,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: all right, talks about taking care of the least the bus.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: It says, truly, I tell you, whatever you did for
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: you did for me. This just means that by caring
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: for those who are most vulnerable, are marginalized, you are
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: serving Jesus himself. That's not what you're doing. Rich McCormick,
• 6:32
