it seems like it comes from outer space which made sense because it does come from your anus of cost you i did have a sponsor once but he unlike some of the comments i made now that he might it be said of my customers might not like it but i can imagine him he's not it used to be the shopping center but he's not there anymore you know in the election i am leaning towards trump oh my god why because i think hillary is overweight i mean people look at me in the go you know their everyone gets in their ideological divides i'm pretty open minded but try m'sawae trying to create the whole thing is crazy i mean bureaucracy i think she can work across the aisle she has a senator when she was in new york and i get that there's no alternative anyway this is a problem with her is that she's overweight but she's quite i can't vote for that i mean you trust that but that it doesn't matter yeah i mean anything she does it will be grist for their i know it's crazy bad news it's crazy and i can't really debate with people because we come from two opposite worlds that i can't even discuss or you know i can't discuss trump it's a viable alternative candidate by any well the thing is this in this divisive election if you so much as saying in public that you have any sympathy for trump it's like saying that you think hitler has got a nice most of this you're not you're not allowed to know the filter comes up and everything i mean to be that kind of like trump even though his political correctness kind of stupid and saying what it's speaking his mind turned out to be really bogus and neanderthal ish i like the fact that he was a little bit alternative and i like the fact that you know fox news really didn't care about the people who are voting for him because one of their boats and then trump came along and said no i you know i think a big part of his early appeal was he was so willing to be absolutely politically incorrect yeah oh yeah it's what you were saying in the population and you know i have i have sympathies with that it was only really he was ridiculing trump well yeah possibly for good reason in fact but i haven't seen one damned proton bad not want maybe a few also but she's talking i mean they have probably they've mind all the data for the trying to target with a lot of these ads and everything and anyone who stations that i watch you know they're a lot like you know jeopardy of you know well what they do the obama campaign did a great job with micro dating and their call people up in towns in key swing states down by the county and address issues that affected them i know the last in the last election the swing voters were white females a lot of them single between like thirty five and fifty they were the truth swing vote and a lot of them went for obama especially after a couple things that romney did i about the one percent the comments about one senator from missouri talk about abortion if you get raped the body would know to get rid of it so they associate that with romney and a lot of damage i think hillary smart right now this so a sort of hillary or instead of not attacking iran libya or emails which seem to gain traction the talking about this miss universe woman you know and going nowhere here's the thing that i don't understand how is trump only behind by five percentage points given that you know i just don't see how but he's politically incorrect in there's a s this is a crunch time yeah technological transformation they are losing jobs in mean trade deals it didn't help them at all i think that there are some native bigamists elements to it too and the borders have anything to do with hillary being  craig also hired me when no one has to do what i or me also greg is very successful whatever he does so i think he's legitimate and he's here to talk about i look great take it away and then all th boy discussed it with great to great report discussing thank you adam nice to be here it's nice to see you all i recently launched a company called a job angels and the purpose of the company is to provide a mentor for youth when they age out of the foster care system and i don't know if you've ever spent time thinking about what actually happens to you know i know person when they age out of the foster care system but but it's pretty nasty i mean if you look at the statistics you find you find things like you know less than three percent ultimately graduate college most of the homeless shelters are comprised of teens who have been you know in the foster care system seventy five percent of the females who who emancipate from the foster care system are pregnant by the time they're twenty one and so and so what happens is nationwide we're talking  might and what happens is these youth are like a forgotten population you don't know when no one really thinks about them or tries to do things to help them and so they basically age out of the foster care system somewhere between eighteen and twenty one that's if they haven't been adopted i mean right so it's so stupid to pull out of when you're out fend for yourself well yeah i mean it's not quite that dramatic but it feels that way to them how do you define foster care system well now that's an interesting question because there's really only two ways to become a foster child you either have to be abused neglected or both and so the children who are in foster care actually suffer trauma twice you know first they suffer trauma in their homes they're abused neglected or both right then they're yanked out of the only family in group homes to be moved around a lot to be often if they do end up adopted a are sometimes taken out of a foster placement and then adopted by somebody else right so pathologies get worse yeah it's very very unstable the typical household who would take in a foster child in this situation is not really the equivalent of a couple adopting a child it can be it can be it's a bit of a crapshoot i mean there certainly are houses where people make their living by bringing foster kids in they'll have four or five bedrooms right and they'll have one or two in each in each bedroom and that's how they make their living there are couples who are who are trying to have you know biological children but turned out to be infertile and decide that they want to try to foster to adopt and that's kind of another weird sort of situation because the whole point of the foster care system is to reunite the child with their biological parents impossible so if you're you know if you're a couple thinking we'd like to adopt let's see if we can help a foster child right there's a very good chance that you will have that child live with you for a while and then the court will say ok good send them back to their biological family and that may not be permanent so they may get pulled out again and they may come back to you or they may go to another family so they can they can jojo consistencies not and while i sing the typical foster care family doesn't put the kind of financial resources into the child that truly adopted child would have  probably not i mean if they if they were going to do that if they were going to put the financial resources behind it i would think they would make a move to adopt and make it be a legal well actually i can answer that the adoptions in new jersey through the division what's now called the division of child protection and permanency which is kind of a funny new name that they've chosen for themselves they're not actual adoptions the way an adoption is that we think of adoption we all have peers that were adopted the parents find a child that needs a family and they get adopted that becomes the child of the family but these adoptions are a little bit different because the state continuously provide some sort of benefits for the child that's the deal that they make for these adopted children so they're not fully adopted they're sort of partially adopted i wanted to get to the heart of that shocking statistic that i heard in there  only three percent of these children graduate from college and one of the reasons for that is going with the envelope no answer the question well there are i mean there are several reasons for it was and interesting way to look at it is this possible that the child has been moved from school to school you know seven or eight times in situations where the curriculum is different so it's not a throwaway try and well and yeah i mean you can certainly certainly use that term to describe it  and this and the records may not even follow through i know what gentleman who's eighty one years old lives in florida was a foster child and graduated high school at the age of sixteen and i said to him you must be very bright to graduate he said no no they had no idea how old i was or what grade i was in so they just graduated me she had to push it through and so yeah  in everything you've done and your printer retail manufacturing you've always been invested in the community elks your local temple boy scouts everything i mean the list goes on why at this time have you decided to do i mean you're too nice for me you forefront through an organization funded to serve ajax and produce results over the long term so how you funded what are the results going to be what is what's going on well the the whole thing is that across the country there are four hundred thousand children who are in foster care and every year about twenty thousand or so age out of the system small town you know without being adopted yeah and i mean what happened to me was a calling it hit me one day i was in the library i was  researching the possibility of starting an adoption agency because i have two children who are adopted so that kind of makes sense right that i would move in that direction and i discovered that it's really not a great time to do that to launch an adoption agency that the well of little children isn't as good as it was when i was adopting and i came upon a book called on their own by martha shirk and gary stanger and it's simply you know nine or eleven chapters that are addict own all of the stories of what happens to children when they age out of the system and i sat there in the library and i read that book for like the whole day i finished it and it just spoke to me each chapter i read you know just sucked me deeper into the plate and here's the thing here's the mind boggling thing there's absolutely no reason for it to be this way especially not in new jersey because new jersey is one of the best states in the country to age out of foster care there are services available to children in new jersey that aren't necessarily available in other states so if you look at the list of services that we provide like you know you want to get a kid into a house i'm going to put a roof over their heads you want to give them food and clothing and get them stabilized in that way right as i say these things we all have them don't we yeah and they're great you know take one of them away and what would happen you know into our lives but we had all the shelters right and the thing is in new jersey you don't have to exit the system at the age of eighteen between eighteen and twenty one you can go into another part of the system call independent living and you qualify for funding you know and you get mentoring in job skills you qualify for like you know all these different programs if you can continue your education if you want to you know housing section and housing or whatever but we're talking about eighteen year old kids right and we're expecting that even though d c s does like the does a fabric d c p n p is what it is now they do a fabulous job and they make absolutely certain that every child has an exit strategy and knows about all of the services and things that are available to them but then they let go you know and so it's up to this young person to navigate all of the systems and do the paperwork at the right time right and how likely is that you know two to actually happen and so if they end up on the street then then suddenly they become easy prey right things can spiral quickly that's yeah that's the point i mean they become prey to drug dealers and they become you know they're hungry they need a place to stay right and they become easy prey and so then that spiral starts that happens they're homeless it's easy for them to end up incarcerated and in many cases our work really starts when a child ages out when they're somewhere between eighteen and twenty one but we want to engage them as early as fourteen years old ok so for that time period from like fourteen to seventeen or eighteen or so our role is really more like big brother big sister you know we're trying to develop a bond develop trust you know so are you sending a representative to deal the child one on one or one on one is exactly how we do it but give me a second i'll tell you a great exactly how that matching you have one safe place ok so so from play fourteen to eighteen where we're more like big brother big sister then around seventeen or eighteen when it comes time to plan  emancipation that's that's when the work becomes a little bit more serious and we have to make sure they have health care right and they have to decide if they're going to take an education track or a job track or maybe both they can they can go to night  still work you know it's up to them so it becomes more serious at that point and then that time of when they're aging out our job as mentors is to keep them on track and make sure that if they need to figure out a transportation plan to get to work every day you know they have that plan so yes we we provide a one to one mentor for them and when mentor sign on to age out angels i make it very clear to them that it's it doesn't and that commitment in the friendship is like time you know maybe not each year one hundred percent all the time but you know we hope the time comes when you'll dance at their  first i called all of the local companies in the mercer county area that that would like to see the largest employers in the region like dwight insurer jim bristol myers squibb i just call them up and said you know would you mind letting your employees know that we're doing this and you know we get a few from there and then the good people at johnson and johnson taught me about a website called volunteer match dot com and i posted on there and people come from there so so people come from all sort of different places we just did a little exhibition at educational testing services two times this week and i got a call as i was driving out here from a lady who saw us at the educational testing service there and was interested in  participating as a mentor so that they sort of come from from all different places in this next part is really important because we're working with children and we take that very very seriously so to be a mentor you have to fill out like a seven page application with your references and everything else then you have to that's a task in itself and then you have to go to state police barracks and be fingerprinted first state and federal background checks  absolutely the the funny thing is when we do the matching thing we don't like assign a mentor to to a youth because we're expecting this relationship will last forever what if they don't like each other right so we do is we gather youth and mentors and put them together in sort of a social activities situation we actually have this thing where we do speed dating where they're just and you know the youth have a chance to go from chair to chair is that when the bell rings and ask ask interview questions to the you know to the mentors and so we hope that in the process of these social interactions that they'll actually find themselves and which they do it's really in place amazing yeah yeah how that works and so a person that you can say you know might not have the right temperament might have actually the perfect temperament you know for a particular child that's a good one if you know projects or anything like that so so you know before they just start turning children over you know to us we're jumping through a series of hoops to make sure that they feel good about what they're doing how long does it take to train a mentor six months yet because this you might be interested in this part vivian after their fingerprinted and all that other stuff they have to go through our training  program and we don't turn them into social workers but they do have to be trained in areas one specifically is called being trauma informed they have to learn how the fact that these children have suffered childhood trauma will manifest in their teenage behavior they can't walk into this naively mark they absolutely can no and and then another area of training is called safety in the community lots of times people volunteer to do this and they've never had experience walking into the environment that they're going to go into right when they when they want to encounter with these children directly and  that's not a terrible thing but they have to understand how to do that safely you know and there are sort of roles you're preparing them for success to hopefully not going and yeah and they ended with the most important thing in the world is that you know they come home a the six months to get them totally up to standard and during that six months you can participate in the social events ok so where ever when the kids are together and all the mentors are together you know you can't are they're getting used to the process but yet they're meeting children and they're thinking maybe i could do my training faster because i fell in love with this person you know and i want to help them right away and they need my help so there's a dynamic that exists there to keep them in context and there are many times i do want to give how help anyone in this community can reach out and be of help to your your age out and also you can help kids with their website where the best way to access us is through our website and that's w w w dot age out angels dot org ok and you'll find a ton of information there about you know what we're doing and how we're doing it and you can communicate with us and how long have you been doing it there so this is this is very new i mean when i formulated the corporation in two thousand and fifteen but our five zero one c three public charity status was just approved last february and right now we have fifteen active mentors and eleven youth that we're working with and that number is now increasing every day so when you come back your heart up you know we are a startup but i'm on the way over here two phone calls one phone call was a mentor i told you about who wants to be a mentor another phone call is from a lady who has two children twins you know in ninth grade in a kinship program she's their aunt taking care of them can you get someone to mentor adam a scientist i can demick he teaches at many universities will get to that he's also written three award winning book barack obama in a y in indonesia the global obama crossroads of leadership and now he's written the global so so i'm looking at that in the global hillary book partly which we did in the global obama because you know right and what i'm finding is clearly looking at the demographics is that you know the same kind of forces that were operating eighty years ago in terms of demographic change in the united states are celebrated are now accelerated partly yeah and globally as well but the change in terms of the global change that us has started around the world with technology companies and software companies you know call centers around the world to increase productivity and supply chain management that's now come full circle india china and other countries in asia are following as lead and that's creating a lot of tension in the economy here which is where you have a lot of the demands and rhetoric on the other side saying why are the jobs leaving the united states why are jobs leaving the middle class why is manufacturing leaving the you know the united states in the middle class and what what are we hollowing out middle america and of course you know there's a rational answer those questions that there's an irrational populist emotional answer the question and of course each party is catering to those that we're being cheated right and of course the other side is arguing that we need to work with other countries you know hillary's arguing in the democratic party that i mean we need to work with other countries we need to be engaged in the world and you know are a whole host of issues whether it's trade terrorism global diplomacy and so that's what the book is about right at these changes obviously it's but have accelerated since president obama came into office you know the first black president in the white house some of that is playing out of the country romney now they were republican candidates and they had their faults but they didn't have the faults that you can say ascribe to trump but trump is the same five percentage point is he only trailing by five o'clock here and my answer i'm just i'm sorry asking a professional but i wasn't necessary and and besides not that i'm an expert go to the trade deals and the nuances wow good were they not going everything but what i'm seeing generally speaking is number one and always be number one you know self interest i mean every country looks out for their self interest but you don't necessarily come out and say that at the at the opening meeting is trump truly naive about global politics when he makes these pronouncements i think he's operating as a businessman who's a successful realtor and clearly he's thinking from that standpoint he's not thinking us away from the standpoint of the fact that us through diplomacy through soft power that is hard power to soft power through a coup development all of those commitments and everybody around the world is over so that's partly what the global hillary book looks at but from the standpoint of not trump but hillary and what you represent and of course you know that you is that she's going to you know i think people partly rebelling against the fact that with the historically same time very strong on women's development and general development policy around the world so she talks about the three d s of us sort of influence around the world diplomacy democracy and development right but if you want to push all those three things at the same time the soft power part of the knives work is that you know post nine eleven us has become savvy about using soft power and conjecture of hard power hard power still essential but we have to persuade other countries and people around the world to kind of represent our interests not just go in with all guns blazing so if we if i'm sorry but actually i'm not sorry for my turn to talk i just learned that if we say that we're using soft power and now we're the boss of the world how does that make it so because from where i sit looks like the middle east is exploded the situation there is terrible syria is a hot bed of disaster europe is full of refugees that they can't afford to take  obama administration has failed miserably in keeping all of its promises to get out of iraq and get out of the middle east and the situation is terrible so what has hillary look at hillary offer us that that her  iraq special ops in iraq and and their special ops in syria of course no ground troops which is what hillary clinton said so her policy when she was secretary of state was that she wanted us to be more engaged which was overruled so i think with her you would see more engagement in these parts of the world possibly and also more sort of you know coalition building with partners in middle east and europe more of an activist active policy major party and we're seeing the onslaught of on the very hatred this like democrat and distrust of her that's unbelievable it's off the charts i mean the comparison the false equivalency between what the clinton there is unrest and terrorism instability it's invariably correlated with lack of women's development ok so she's put special resources and create a special office within the state department to push that as a big agenda of america's foreign policy that is if you invest in women's development the not only women do better with the family does better and society does better now of course it has to be tested out with data but there's a lot of an longitudinal and population data to suggest that is the case so that's that's a big push and i would assume that you know if she wins that would be one of the policies that we will see you know put into action through the state department of course you know i think she was asked by one of the interviewers you know  in terms of gender parity with your cabinet consist of equal number of men and women and to my surprise she said yeah which is like a huge thing even in the u s you know government she thought she said yes she would work her cabinet would reflect and the u s congress senate and local government offices women their positions by one thousand percent right which is far behind the representation obviously in the population and the reason for that is part of it is obviously culture history we've not had a woman you know in a leadership position and then choices people make and the choice of people like obviously you know it's like a person individual decision but clearly there's something cultural you know you could say it's bizarre to me could say that sexism you could say is  countries in scandinavia part of the world they have a policy where they actually encourage women at the party level to have equal representation in parties so democrats and republicans you know in scandinavia would have equal you know or large number of women running as we have bill clinton who as you know she because he was first lady so he's obviously campaigning it backing her in a big way and so i don't think should be in this position if it wasn't for two strong male you know sponsor th former presidents or number forty four and forty two and the white house with well would elizabeth warren if she had run you know that's a high profile person although i think she would have created a huge level of excitement and i think the progressive on the left really wanted her to be on the ticket  but i think the calculation of having two women first all women take it probably scare the bejesus out of the rest of us i mean they're already freaking out you know so the demographic that trump is pulling is white men so you  cultural phenomenon where there's there's you see the split in the american mind part of it is obviously getting pulled towards global influences once gender parity once equality and the other says no we need to get our country back we need to make america great again but great for who you know but but also there's the fact that it's a bunch of blah blah blah like he starts and i try to stay out of these political arguments and where it's so exciting but when he  split mind crisis or a split brain crisis if you will you know part of the but there's data that suggests conservatives tend to react with emotion and gut and they feel threatened whenever there is change around emotion sure feels good they were yeah but but when they see rapid change the react with slater fight fight kind of response and say liberals of course we will and that's kind of what we're seeing here partly right but the fact that the country is changing demographically inside the u s where by twenty  christ is my bright and voter month i'm going to tell you a lot of cool stuff and cool items and events around the area and all that's trending this month so let's get started so if you're due what happens here is that you browse through the
