00:00:28 Hammy
Like, I'm probably just going to go buy food and give it to people.
00:00:32 Hammy
That's what I know how to do.
00:00:33 Hammy
I got a couple extra bucks.
00:00:36 Hammy
Probably buy some food and give it to people that need it.
00:00:38 Hammy
I got to figure out who.
00:00:40 Hammy
Who are those people?
00:00:41 Hammy
I'm working on that in my community.
00:00:43 Hammy
What are you going to do?
00:00:44 Hammy
What are we going to do?
00:00:44 Hammy
Somebody got a better plan.
00:00:46 Hammy
You got a good plan?
00:00:47 Hammy
Get in me, man.
00:00:49 Hammy
Get in me.
00:00:50 Hammy
I forgot to say no mistake.
00:00:52 Hammy
I love you.
00:00:54 Kevin
Here's the problem, Uncle Ami.
00:00:57 Kevin
What are we going to do to feed the people?
00:00:58 Kevin
I don't know.
00:00:59 Kevin
That's what you should do.
00:01:01 Kevin
If you find hungry people, you should feed them.
00:01:04 Kevin
But the issue is that it has nothing to do with the government.
00:01:07 Kevin
It's not the government's job to feed people.
00:01:09 Kevin
It's the government's job to just maintain a base level of law and order, not to do social programs, not to do any of that stuff that's not America.
00:01:17 Kevin
America is allowing you to practice religion and things like that, where you can get together with like your churches and your soup kitchens and feed the poor.
00:01:24 Kevin
You can do that.
00:01:25 Kevin
The problem is that you're not going to find any of those people that are actually starving to death.
00:01:29 Kevin
Like the government shut down and nothing's really changing for the average American.
00:01:32 Kevin
Oh, a bunch of people aren't getting their food stamps.
00:01:33 Kevin
Well, guess what?
00:01:34 Kevin
We probably shouldn't have like 95% of it.
00:01:37 Kevin
Like it's supposed to be temporary, like a week, month, two months, no greater than six months in any one person's life.
00:01:43 Kevin
But there's people that live on it their entire lives.
00:01:45 Kevin
So that's what it is.
00:01:47 Kevin
And I'm sorry that you wasted your Saturday.
