her two children out of school,
Tamarla asked her brother
1:36:05
if they could stay with him
for a few weeks.
1:36:08
It was there that Tamarla's son
1:36:10
found a small 32-calibre gun
and took it to school.
1:36:15
Tamarla did not see him
take the gun to school,
1:36:17
because she was on a state bus
to go serve drinks
1:36:20
and make fudge for rich people.
1:36:23
"Bandstand"
1:36:28
I decided to fly out
to California
1:36:30
to ask Dick Clark what
he thought about a system
1:36:33
that forces poor,
single mothers to work
1:36:36
two low-wage jobs to survive.
1:36:38
I'm doing a documentary
on these school shootings
1:36:42
and, you know,
guns and all that.
1:36:44
And in my hometown of Flint
Michigan, which you know,
1:36:48
this little six-year-old
shot a six-year-old--
1:36:51
- Get in the car, Dave!
Watch your arm, watch your arm.
1:36:54
- Oop, sorry, sorry.
- I'm sorry, we're really late.
1:36:57
- Anyways, but the mother of
the kid who did the shooting
1:37:00
works at Dick Clark's
All-American Grill...
1:37:02
- Forget it.
- ...in Oakland County...
1:37:04
- Close the door.
- A Welfare-to-work program--
1:37:06
- Close the door.
- These people are forced...
1:37:08
Dick, no...
- Bye-bye. Come on, move over!
1:37:10
- I want you to help me convince
the governor of Michigan...
1:37:13
It's a Welfare-to-work pro...
These women are forced to work!
1:37:16
They've got kids at home. Dick!
1:37:18
Ah, jeez!
1:37:20
In George Bush's America,
1:37:23
the poor were not a priority.
1:37:26
And after September 11th, 2001,
1:37:28
correcting America's
social problems
1:37:31
took a back seat to fear,
1:37:33
panic and a new set
of priorities.
1:37:36
- One way to express our unity
1:37:39
is for Congress to set
the military budget,
1:37:43
the defence of
the United States,
1:37:45
as the number-one priority
and fully fund my request!
1:37:53
- We've been selling
a lot of chemical suits,
1:37:55
with the gloves and the hoods.
1:37:58
And we've been selling
a lot of gas masks.
