A lot of questions for him today. There are, and look, i think you know, hes not somebody that backs down from claims very easily. Not somebody that admits if something is wrong very easily. And i think youll get a taste of that this morning. You know, i think the question that were tackling is, does it matter . Youre going to hear some interesting statements from supporters of his who basically say, yeah, so what if he bends look at whats coming out of washington. And they believe its worse with people in washington or worse with the media. Even if they believe he is not telling them fully accurate statements, they believe hes speaking to larger truths, and its something that, you know, hes very effective at when dealing with his own supporters. The question that i have is, is it stunting his growth with people that arent with him . Is this going to be a problem for other voters who are not yet with trump, whether they can accept him. Larger truths. The whole idea of the posttruth era. Theres something a bit orwellian about that. It is. I have to say, youll hear this from donald trump. He keeps saying, well, people are repeating it. Ive had people say this to me. There are hundreds of people. Its sort of like, so it must be if people repeat a falsehood long enough, it becomes true. That is essentially, i think, the tough place we are in our political debate right now. Ben carson has been visiting jordan. Why is that trip important to him .

Theyre some of the citys most Vulnerable Children, battling extreme poverty. They live in shelters and temporary homes far away from their schools. Melissa russo is asking why the school buses are denying them in this time of need. We wake up at 5 30. We have a 6 28 train to catch. Reporter its a long trip to school for a sleepy headed 6yearold named zion. Ever since he had to move to a Domestic Violence shelter with his big sister and mom, who asked us not to show her face. I come from one borough to the next. Its hard, its far. Theyre agitated. They have to get up in the morning. Its really not fair. Reporter not fair that the city has denied them a school bus, as if homelessness and trauma werent hard enough, add sleeplessness and a triple train commute. One train . Three. Three trains . Its like chaos. Reporter then comes train number four as mom drops her 11yearold daughter at her school. I feel like my mom is being committed to all these challenges because so many bus. Reporter under federal law, children living in shelters or even temporary housing are due to their vulnerable state. But the iteam has learned in many cases, instead of a big Yellow School bus, the Free Transportation they get is a small yellow metro card. The d. O. E. Says theyre not required to provide buses. So we have students that come in. Theyve woken up at 4 00 in the morning because their shelter is in queens. Reporter emily is the social worker at the exceed Charter Schools in brooklyn. She says there are about a dozen children here in similar situations, running on fumes without a bus. Its taking months to get responses back. Kids are missing a lot of school. How was your day in school . Reporter kids like these who live in temporary housing. Im on the verge of being in a shelter. Reporter the iteam learned the kirkland children were denied a school bus for three months because the city said adding a stop for them would put the bus route over the fivemile we always have to stand. The train is always crowded. Its like walking all the way to the school. Reporter their mom says shes been forced to make desperate choices between picking her children up from school and completing her Home Health Aid Job Training Program so she can work, feed her kids, avoid homelessness.

We will continue to work closely with families and schools to provide all students with appropriate transportation services. When it comes to a young pe. Rson whos in a shelter, its our mission to try and reduce the amount of disruption and absolutely to tighten up the system so they are nearer their school. Reporter with more than shelters right now, its understandably a challenge to keep them all close to their schools and because the d. O. E. Wont necessarily create new routes for homeless children, nor will it bend its fivemile limit, many are stuck taking the train. Families should not have to choose between sending their child to school and looking for a job. Reporter the nonprofit advocates for children gets state funding to advocate for poor kids in public school. They say they see way too many families who have to battle for bussing. Theres nothing more frustrating than seeing a family that is working so hard to sustain their childs education, and theyre climbing up such a mountain. Reporter despite zions difficult commute, he and his sister have managed perfect attendance and good grades this year. But their mom still spends four to five hours a day on the train. Hours she says would be better spent looking for a job and new housing, suggesting maybe in these cases, its the city that should gol the extra mile. The d. O. E. Wont tell us just how many homeless kids were denied school buses, but after the iteam got involved, the d. O. E. Approved at least two Additional School buses.
