| 00:00:00 | NETWOR -- END HUNGER NETWORK. |
| 00:00:06 | THERE IS ENOUGH FOOD, WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY, WE KNOW THE SOLUTIONS TO END IT, BUT WHAT IS MISSING IS THE POLITICAL WILL. |
| 00:00:15 | WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP CREATE THE POLITICAL WILL? |
| 00:00:18 | I SAID, WELL, I INVOLVED IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, I DEAL WITH THE MEDIA ALL THE TIME, DOING LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. |
| 00:00:29 | I CAN HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND GET PEOPLE INVOLVED IN IT. |
| 00:00:37 | I WILL GIVE YOU THE LONG LIST, BUT MY ORGANIZATION HAS -- I WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE LONG LIST, BUT MY ORGANIZATION HAS DONE SOME WONDERFUL THINGS. |
| 00:00:47 | THIS CAMPAIGN THAT BILL SHORE HAS COME UP WITH IS SO EXCITING TO ME, THIS NO KID HUNGRY CAMPAIGN. |
| 00:00:56 | IT REALLY FEELS LIKE WE COULD END HUNGER IN OUR COUNTRY BY 2015. |
| 00:01:01 | THAT IS WHAT THE CAMPAIGN IS ALL ABOUT. |
| 00:01:03 | IT IS NOT ABOUT CREATING NEW PROGRAMS, AND EXPERIMENTING WITH PROGRAMS THAT MIGHT NOT WORK. |
| 00:01:11 | WE HAVE PROGRAMS , FOOD STAMPS, THE SCHOOL MEAL PROGRAMS, ALREADY IN PLACE. |
| 00:01:22 | THE PROBLEM IS THEY ARE NOT GETTING TO ENOUGH KIDS. |
| 00:01:24 | THAT IS WHAT NO KID HUNGRY CAMPAIGN IS ALL ABOUT, WORKING WITH GOVERNORS AND MAYORS TO SEE THAT LITERALLY A BILLION DOLLARS IS AVAILABLE TO STATES THAT IS NOT BEING USED TO FEED OUR CHILDREN, AND NOT ONLY FEED KIDS, BUT ALSO STIMULATES THE ECONOMY. |
| 00:01:44 | THAT IS WHAT THE CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT T. |
| 00:01:50 | HOST: BILL SHORE, 25015, AN AMBITIOUS GOAL? |
| 00:01:58 | GUEST: IT IS, BUT UNLIKE MANY ISSUES YOU FOCUS ON AT THIS SHOW ALL THE TIME, THIS IS A SOLVABLE PROBLEM. |
| 00:02:07 | I THINK IT WAS RIGHT TO SET THE GOAL OF 2015 AS SOMETHING THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS ENDORSED. |
| 00:02:14 | AS JEFF SAID, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PERCENTAGE OF KIDS COULD IS ABATING AND PROGRAMS THAT ALREADY EXIST, -- KIDS PARTICIPATING IN PROGRAMS THAT ALREADY EXIST, IT IS DISAPPOINTING THAT AFTER BIPARTISAN PROGRAMS THAT WE KNOW WORK, SCHOOL LUNCH, AND OF THE 20 MILLION KIDS THAT GET SCHOOL LUNCH BECAUSE THEY ARE FROM FAMILIES THAT NEED THE TYPE OF SUPPORT, ONLY 2 MILLION OF THOSE THAT SUMMER FEEDING, BECAUSE SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED. |
| 00:02:44 | THEY HAVE TO RELY ON OTHER SOURCES. |
| 00:02:47 | WE KNOW THAT THESE PROGRAMS WORK. |
| 00:02:48 | WE HAVE TO PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THEM. |
| 00:02:51 | HOST: WE ARE TALKING TO JEFF BRIDGES AND BILLS FOR ABOUT -- AND BILL SHORE ABOUT THE NO KID HUNGRY CAMPAIGN. |
| 00:03:12 | MR. |
| 00:03:16 | SHORE, WE THINK ABOUT THE ISSUE OF FOOD AND CHILDREN, AND WE OFTEN THINK ABOUT CHILDHOOD OBESITY. |
| 00:03:23 | FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA HAS SPEARHEADED A CAMPAIGN TO MAKE KIDS HEALTHIER, BUT WE DON'T HEAR AS MUCH ABOUT KIDS WHO GO HUNGRY. |
| 00:03:34 | WHY ARE THEY GOING HUNGRY? GUEST: THE TWO ISSUES YOU MENTIONED JEFF AND I REFER TO AS OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE SAME POINT KIDS ARE HUNGRY AND KIDS ARE OBESE BECAUSE FAMILIES DON'T HAVE INFORMATION TO MAKE THE COURSES THEY NEED WE ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE 44 MILLION AMERICANS LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LINE. |
| 00:03:54 | HALF OF THOSE ARE KIDS. |
| 00:03:56 | WHEN YOU ARE IN AN ECONOMY THAT LEAST THAT MANY PEOPLE BEHIND, EVEN BEFORE THE RECESSION, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE KIDS WHO ARE HUNGRY. |
| 00:04:08 | BUT THERE ARE SOLUTIONS JEFF AND I HAD A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT A SCHOOL IN NORTHEAST WASHINGTON, THE WORD-INCOME NEIGHBORHOOD. |
| 00:04:17 | 85% OF THE KIDS WERE ON FREE OR REDUCED PRICE PLUNGE. |
| 00:04:21 | BUT THEY BROUGHT EIGHTA CHEF IN WHO BROUGHT IN ALL FRESH PRODUCE. |
| 00:04:35 | WE WOULD LIKE TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE LAUNCHED HERE. |
| 00:04:39 | GUEST: THE SURPRISING THING IS THAT THEY MAKE BETTER USE OF THE DOLLARS THAT THE REGULAR SCHOOLS. |
| 00:04:50 | -- THAN THE REGULAR SCHOOLS. |
| 00:04:52 | THEY SAVE MONEY DOING IT THAT WAY. |
| 00:04:54 | GUEST: AND MAKING A DOCUMENTARY AND LOOKING AT THAT, SHARE OUR STRENGTH IS WELL POSITIONED TO DO. |
| 00:05:09 | HOST: THE NEXT TO REALITY PROGRAM, PERHAPS? |
| 00:05:13 | GUEST: THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA. |
| 00:05:15 | GOOD WORK, LIBBY. |
| 00:05:18 | HOST: |
