I can't really get -- people involved in all these programs are so much to do and it's exciting now in the -- didn't feel great and now."
" Now I could be part of what I'm doing now is its UI is too. And when you get a website that's -- help direct people to where they give their time in their money but most importantly their time. I'd like to encourage more people to do I was -- hit encouraged me. I didn't you know I had a I wonderful parents but I didn't have anybody -- just consider the peace force something. I wish I had I'm encouraged my own children. Or maybe even if there -- programs for older people detailing slack off throw Lowe worked to go to that is how hard -- that -- great again because they're older people who would look to pound this point and that's part of what this is what I'm trying to do is. Each of these organizations that that'll be at least on my website we'll have. Kind of my seal of approval not that that's great the special but it would be organization that I worked with number one I've traveled with them. I've seen their inner workings as well so that I know of their time I'll be well spent. And what's most important thing people peoples times most found nothing can give. Did the women in the kind asking many questions that -- curious about what goes on in this country are they just so immersed in her own problems in trying to eat. Didn't take -- defended. They came instead of there's no -- they were so it and there there were no questions it was just. A very bad. Did the look at their highest. You and their look at the mother to mother particularly in the night. Stood one day and watched. At a feeding -- watched a mother placed her baby and that -- scale which is basically contraption that hangs from the ceiling effect. How little basket that they put and then. And this three year old child weighed nine pounds. And you can see it in her eyes and it doesn't. You you know it it it doesn't there's not much more than you can say and watch her mother watch her baby she knows the starving to death being way -- And looking to me. Have for some kind of help I mean it's it's I mean it's as if to kind of situation I've seen around the world and never -- it never effort. Ever makes me think more than just I've got to keep doing this. As selling the so one time DSM woman is -- no -- it's it was. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and just in case -- displacement camps yeah I DP camps. That was basically where I have before I was particularly going that you CDC centers even a larger cities. -- hunger is it is a huge problem. In a country that so -- it's coming it's it's. They're just they're just you know they just can't keep themselves. And no government nothing from their government actually nothing -- I mean what. What little but don't apply saw what little I've been told about his are basically for show and I. And I I I don't make it my job routinely get beat up on the government's because that's not how I view my Iran a relief -- humanitarian. But it's hard to overlook when you see a country that doesn't have a road connecting. You know parts of it that you can't get stuck you know people like world food going to have to drag -- an airstrip to be mailed to. To deal to air drop food and so it it you know it it's just. It's overwhelming the country's overwhelming. Yes it she mentioned celebrities down as much as it sometimes it looks like below show -- but it isn't mentioned but when they -- their names -- it -- these trips could we pay attention and gas today is very important and not and I hate anybody I know. You know lots of people say well you know -- So what it's very important any of people to get involved the names thank have and they along their name it's wonderful and the more the better as far as I'm concerned. -- I know I can I humor and in -- yeah it is that nobody there are now there was nobody there and insist that the wonderful people World Food Program. What about operations while what's -- what what is apparatus well. Operation smile as an organization that provides cleft palate surgeries around the world -- with a cleft palate is. Is something that is the you don't see much the United States because it's repaired very early. And diet nutrition you know genetic cell that has a great deal to do that as well overseas to see a lot of that. And graciously graciously and gratefully they provide surgeries and help change the lives of children it isn't just cosmetic thing them -- the video clip how many inches is a cosmetic kidnappers and this is -- of people couldn't communicate and -- and -- where there's a lot of Florida that oh absolutely more importantly I mean you have made many societies people with any kind of to form any particular facial forming it'll be. Left in a closet they'll be you know. Shunned and put aside my own daughter's case I think she would have died if she hadn't won of course plants. So -- it's you know it's it's much different are treated much differently."
" You mention -- your daughter was on the video oh yeah I'm so proud of my daughter she's jamaicans -- a wonderful job as I am All My Children -- I understand that but does she surely has -- but they're quite -- she's -- I'm very proud of her and -- that's very convert him did you see the view I did. But I watched it tentative and nervous in the service not a -- at a very nervous mother yes. The -- and I have I have I'm Harris Allen because I just -- you know it's my daughter died I know she and her she can handle on but I think she you know like anybody. My mom. Quit and she she's shaken things couple of the Republican Party you know Hillary is so they're part of which has -- thought -- not exactly yeah -- did the younger crowd hasn't been attracted to it. She has and and I'm I'm I'm very proud."
" Her for that because she's like her father she's very straight talking she's very genuine and in her beliefs and in what she's trying to do -- and there's -- it's it's wonderful it's remarkable. And I think she's doing now -- great job but I think she has the ability to. -- people sit up and listen."
" Your husband. He twitters you can get picked back up. -- have you -- why do you laugh I kicked up by I'm excited act. I I had I am glad he twitters this -- sweater thing is brand new to me too as well. But I I think it's an interesting concept -- happened and it's caught on and now everybody's tutoring and I'm excited about it I think it's a great way to communicate do we don't follow the minute ornament it's -- thousands of people oh gosh it's like 600000. Now. Something that I just -- the number do you twit do you follow this Twitter -- phone has Twitter right Twitter you I don't have nearly as many followers what's your Twitter accounts of the what I. Hey -- how well Akamai -- might -- tennis is Steny H am one. How did we were able to would have from the -- that -- and -- get -- where he did -- prudent. I did because in an action that's another so way to reach I did I."
" Later about that you know like everyone else what's important here on and the things are where engineered things like the Congo -- and and what's going on around the world and so that's kind of an idea who he fouled a Twitter. Well my daughter and my husband and my my son my my sons and a little. A lot of different things actually and Latin news you know I mean -- movie stars now and -- you know after the us announced. What did that concept of your husband Twitter and it's such as speculation into. No I fit in initially I didn't know what it was. And usually on the handed him on stuff like that so when he announced -- going to Twitter I didn't know what it was. I'm I'm actually glad that he's doing an I was happy when a senate when it was sad because kind of fun. Things haven't -- ounces last year yet thanks for the last was a huge disappointment already just pick yourself up dust yourself off and they go on yeah I mean I. For some it how we need that -- game I mean we've been in politics for a long time and and obviously we wanted to win but when the race was over. I was more than happy to get back to to doing what I do which is my humanitarian work and and traveling to places like Congo and others. Yes instant out of all the people lose the final four you you live that president Baumann missed about. I -- that no matter what happy you're like which changed the least. That you would still be doing the same things that. Yeah I I see if we had one and I would be doing exactly what I'm doing and I love it and and obviously we didn't and I'm still doing it so it's it's I think. You know in in any in anyone's life you have to make yourself happy. And and sell -- to your family happy and this is what I like doing and I want to continue to do it. What do you think the Republican Party has mean they've lost the house the Senate the White House what's going no Republican Party. -- I think. You know it's time for change. New voices are always and I think it you know. The Democratic Party went through the same thing a few years back because. As we remember and it's time for change I mean yeah there's new blood coming into it and and most importantly I think our party needs to be an -- party we we need to. I agree to disagree on some things and most importantly involve more people and make them feel welcome how do you do then what of the issues that keep people out. So there's lots of vicious anywhere did were divided on so many things as are the Democrats I mean you know it says. What I think what my husband and I have all sectors have been my husband is it is he didn't believe there's ever feel litmus test -- Republicans. That's where the work party inclusion and not tax exclusion and that's I think the message that. The best test of techie -- About Governor Palin missing however. You know I don't know I have I am who I am I have not kept up with her I think she's very active and what she's doing and I think she probably will -- The continues stay active in the party I don't know what her plans are."
" What happens after the after the election were this or scrambles and -- a different direction and it received because we see on me so close and they're not saying -- and then they had since I played pretty much I know we kind of all scattered it was."
" A remarkable run I really wish we had the opportunity to see Dave -- Lamar I haven't seen them back to my husband has that but I haven't and and certainly to people that we you know that we ran with that worked for us as well you become such a tight family. And then -- sobering agency everything I missed that part. Let's say a stage with Fed governor mention those wife at one point and -- of course with governor of new. Did you make any new friends and campaign. Oh sure no bad and that's the fun part about it too is a lot of heat this thousands I hadn't known. And a lot of the -- represented -- I had met before either because I'm not as active and ever you know I don't let them wash tonight without laughs and and so in that respect I got to me and left me a lot of new people and make new friends and and I I enjoyed that a great deal that we know you as a humanitarian challenge the world helping people but that's another sign that the pets yeah yeah what is about my pets are great airlines are wonderful. We have we afford dogs we have three cats attack couple of birds and I think. I can't think that's probably got right now have to think really closely but. They're wonderful they're all great and my little my little my -- your accuser are really."
" I -- them mrs. Bush and President Bush forty one's wife recently -- their dogs eighty all well I didn't know that oh -- put -- we immediately go to his house I mean I mean what we've made their animals and so we cervix and and to you know exists that you expect simply come back I know -- I am I love dogs and -- has night quite frankly having my -- really sure how many pets we have when it comes to the door because -- I tend to bring them home ahead he is favor that is -- didn't he does have a favorite things out any of our favorite topic his -- cocoa and a little Mac that was given to me through the humane society. Is -- always nice to see and I know that the end the people especially women who eastern Congo I'm so grateful for me. Helping out putting a spotlight on this one and well sure need help I appreciate you putting a spotlight because. It's it's we cannot forget these people on which certainly cannot forget the women and children. And I appreciate you you've given the spotlight for now into the country but particularly to yes. He house for so lazy like tonight why take at least it didn't help whenever I have you know. When I -- talking about this or any women must be something likened to you know they say he and I and I suppose it's true for the viewers must be something even. A little bit more than -- the -- website and still a couple dollars or. -- do something -- yeah I I encourage anybody to get involved can't -- obviously the Internet so first up check check it out there's lots of organizations. World Food Program being one of the ones and it's just a remarkable. Opportunity to get involved with and also to be to see what's going on and condolence Lancaster so involved. But I just I tell anybody who asks me -- courage to do whatever you can even if it is just cruising the Internet and becoming informed. This ticket big eyes as -- thank you thank."
