10:30 am
peter lavelle and his guests discussing just what is the, what is these new plan for the complex enterprise? i think the the,
10:31 am
[000:00:00;00] the sweet, the nice, the, what so striking for me is this contrast of in california where some people i, so reach and other people are barely making. and that's a, that's a call cost of the whole united states that there's worried about for, for, i don't know, $400.00 people that have all the more income than all of us together. you do think there's a gap is becoming smaller or is growing all it's growing? i don't know. they only want a handful of people. uh, controlling everything they want to keep people under their under this under your
10:32 am
son's control people's, that's a way of controlling people. you know, power and money. everyone should have had these housing food, you know, healthcare, education close, you know, stuff, you know, things like that. yeah. and a little extra so you can maybe go to the movies or go out to dinner or something on a little vacation. you know, he's doing the, did the whole dance with the yeah, i'm 77 and i don't get enough barely enough income, but i have a affordable housing. it's called affordable housing, but they keep facing the rants that they don't make that they don't keep, they don't raise my income to match, you know what i mean?
10:33 am
my social security retirement. so do come here to make some extra money. yeah. supplemental you know what i mean? from the very last job i have was security, but i've done many things i've. i've been an optician, i've done security. i've been a secretary, i been a forklift operator. i've sent them different things and you were working all your life. right. well, you know from at least 17 on us. yeah, i've been, i've been waiting for housing for awhile. like around 17 years and um home, whole personal care and the salvation army they got together and they got me a room for a year. so you know, which is pretty good because you know, now i don't have to travel a lot too much and still like be pushy. i had a, i had major surgery on my legs. come on this thing, but i also have
10:34 am
a disease and my legs for my blood cells and my muscle switch. and my skin has a hard time sticking to our legs. so they put these on there to hold it back. but this is the big one right here, because you don't want to kill them so many times. so slowly around here, this, in other words, you know, that really is like, i don't know, that's what a lot of slot most people are homeless then. then the houses don't you know, some co sign you up telephones where you pay for new york one year, you know, and so you can see it for worth. so i can fax cuz my girls tend to take the little overdose all set overdose and have to come back to the ground. so you don't pay, you know, a lot of people die enough enough and don't even know what the fuck is. it's all just crazy. a lot of my friends home boys and girls that are there for an ocean and not joe is, well, i can't handle the new systems. i can't handle, you know, they're not trying to find it. and if you want to be realistic,
10:35 am
realistic about the problem regarding it where the problem really lives. and that's where the drugs, the drugs is, where the problems hi, n legalize the this. let this, like i said, nothing better, nice and other drugs to a misdemeanors. what good did that do is get yourself to be able to do more drugs easier because the fear before it was a fear of a felony going to jail, do it for, is it time or whatever the case may be. now, is just a ticket. that's it, you catch him sitting on the side of the street endangering children's wise by smoking his crap all in the open. and you give them a ticket and you walk away what. how is that changing anything he just goes,
10:36 am
gets more and just does it again. it's like we don't care or respect the human of the human race. but when we may make laws and decide it all, they're only a misdemeanor. now it's no big deal. it is a big deal. sorry to hear you say you're from london. yes. rhetoric just outside of london. yeah. what's the name of it? it's yeah ma'am. nice to meet with. and what do you think about that today? says here and with the, with a so no, definitely noticed a huge difference between the rich and the full on new existing probably didn't exist it to the level of did i know it's very high. i'm experiencing it 1st time. this is, you know, it's quite trouble. i've heard, so i've heard of skid row i presented was out. right. i don't know much about it that i've heard so many people say they're going to bring it into a good role and help the people there. that's been there since the 1960. we're in 2014 or, i mean, we run around other countries. like is your country, do you need some help?
10:37 am
do you'd still grow? and they'll help you. yeah. and they'll give you what's your money? i do a bunch of stuff help your people get better. yeah. and then we look into and then you guys come over here as well. talk, treat everything. oh, perfect. and coast may be going so much of that. so why? oh, i've seen it all over the past 20 on 29 now, but obviously grew up watching american television. all of that stuff in what we see on the screen here. it's like, oh sorry from that is like a perfect image of everything. when we start going in depth and searching stuff up and seeing what was that, so you guys don't completely different story. i guess what's really interesting is people here much more neglected then. and i'll just see i've been every single state who i speak to some years in over the last some years. what was what used to be
10:38 am
a partial problem of families here. and then now it is because it's such a big problem. ringback so we're kind of the, uh, you know, part of skid row, we're on 5th then. well, so on the north side that's a mission. they have room for our own $600.00 b, both party to families. you know, you don't see it, but there are a lot of children on skid row. they try to keep them inside. no, we have multiple themes from homeless held guard to the community health project doing valuable work going around distributing narcanon fentanyl district because that is a significant number of overdose. those that happen daily, you know, schedule like a lot of people, you know, don't understand what actually skid row is 54 blocks quote and, and the funny thing is right, the middle of skid row is a police station. and one time when i was there,
10:39 am
i saw 2 huge arguing amongst each other one shoots to do to over the dog and watch the way. and the bodies laid out there until 10 o'clock the next day. why i don't know, and there's a police station right across the street. and this was, that was right in front of the midnight shelter. after i saw that i, i just left, i decided not to be down there. so there are a lot of people who are struggling with mental health issues on schedule. a part of that is because, um, you know, homelessness by itself is so much trauma on people site keep that, you know, regular people just being on the free to end up with the mental illness. but then also because we have such a fractured health care system in the us and a big part of it is having really no support for people with mental illness. so the way the hospital system works, after the initial days, the state doesn't pay for the care of patients. so what the hospitals do is they medicaid them and they dropped them off on skid row. that was
10:40 am
a hospital vegas that was caught dumping 1500 patients with the 500 on skid row. 500 in sacramento, and 500 in ad tucson, arizona. most of the time what i'm out here, i'm not even flying for money for itself. mostly just out here, just people watching is like watching a television. oh, it is full of good, interesting television because there's a bunch of weirdos in these in her folder, in words, it almost looks like watching zombies from the movies. like it's gonna pop up in there. i don't know. but now, but the on the real to barnett's, it's bet no. it attacks the muscles were the, it basically start filling up with water. it also attacks the strength and in their body, where they can keep steak a straight body up. so they're basically folded in half a have
10:41 am
a slip right now. real sleep in a bed laying down with a shower or anything like that for over over 8 days. past employee of delirium. i'm now as a point of just totals exhausting and frustration of i can't get a hold of my family holidays 4 years old and i looked like them probably 60 because of what street of done this is. it's tiring. oh, so tired. i tried to go to the hospital because i got the stores for my hands from the shit they're putting in the, in the, in the medicine and the drugs is that, you know, i don't, i don't use anything needles or anything like that. i don't understand what's going on with this, you know, it's,
10:42 am
and it's only selected people there. they're destroying me, little bits at a time where rather disturbing the military, i was with the marine corps specifically more so a little bit in libya small. you have the people in small entry, each other veterans and we treat each other. i here on the street certainly is the most wretched group of people i've ever met in my life. i wish that there was a button. you've been pushing it would exterminate all divides, all the bad people who hurt people what 0 get raped in the only way. and when i tried to get the guy off or i was attacked by his home boys, they broke for my ridge. ah, they split my lip open, i mean like they fucked me up. pretty good. excuse my language. the so
10:43 am
it's your bare is just children with the little uh like, uh, maybe a furnace kind of thing. is smoky smoking, like smoking of it don't need to be afraid and cho yates. so i'm fairly see in your lives because this person, this person like says and now you're going to go and do that because he's your friend and you want to be accepted, recognize cj for low, understood. it's all the really, everybody wants. she sometimes some people go buy a weird way of trying to get it is that everybody isn't as intuitive or salvage, that everyone has all the skills and all the gifts and the ones that don't. we need to be loving and patient and understanding instead of hating them for what they're doing. actually notice and then maybe it might be a different story. is kind of cute,
10:44 am
being short stubby like sometimes you don't even know where your sleep watch it. you know, you to walk into a town, you don't know where to spot is. don't know where you could pop it up to be safe. still not to surface place, it was world, it's made of cloth and easy, nice could cut through it. but what they don't know is i don't how to my girl is. she's the ones that type of word that because i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm not violent. i don't like being, i don't like violence. but this was the question, is she, she has a couple of what they call uh, she calls the retreat. kirby don sticks where she's not afraid to come out of the 10 fashion. most of you know, i would do that because i just don't like violets at all. it's my home. it's where
10:45 am
i live every single night. the maybe we could do a little in the words. oh my god, that's a, that's the call. we're waiting on the gas. all right, so you barely hear great. before we moved here we in the right, you have places like this only exist. can you imagine where you would be a place like this? well, you know,
10:46 am
this is some of the attendance and the struggle that people go through trying to keep up with the rents. you know, it's a real struggle and he gets very real. especially when you have family children, you know, can you imagine, you know, what do you go if you cannot afford you ran that you have children. i mean, my heart goes out to moms like her that, that i see her daughter i, she's going to school down the street. and i need some beautiful sight to see that . and, and we have, uh, we have my or her as a mom. and we also admire the little child that just smart, right, beautiful, biggest smile. so she brings a big smile to our own faces. you know, i just put them doing well, but we're not affordable housing. and you know, many people be literally, as you say, living on the streets. i mean, when, when age of, uh bought this building, there were some people that were living here. so some of the rents kind of just it, so it would be more affordable. but uh,
10:47 am
they have certain amount of units that are exclusively for people that don't have homes. so we work with them and, and place them. if we have any openings, you know that you may go to whoever it may be applying, but application has come really fast and, and the fills out fast. we have other buildings that which is uh, bought us. and as soon as they fix them, you fills out really quickly because, i mean, the people are waiting for housing for a long time. you know, we have shown this the city that now we can actually provide housing much cheaper than what the, the city is doing. the city spends a lot of money and deliver very fuel apartment units. some of the units can start as low as a $100.00 compared to other places with the amount for the place where we offer here. you pay close to $2000.00 for the with the
10:48 am
bathroom and the kitchen area. so pretty much less than half a month. the other thing let's book is martha was gonna lose her subsidized income through the program. she was in and she wouldn't have been able to afford the rent, but they were gonna put her in another one of our buildings. and she loved it here so much. we ended up just trying to advocate for her when she was able to stay and then we lowered her, her rent down now. so she could stay. so ready to go. yeah. can you go in any city or state? they have cranes there just over building. i mean, some of those buildings are left empty. i mean, have, we have enough here of empty buildings that we could put all the people who are on
10:49 am
our streets in. but that's why there's always talk. so cities having attacks for having empty spaces. so then they would be more incentivized to, to accept section 8 or take a family in or not look for their ideal candidate. but real estate, i think, is just become this huge way to invest. and they're not thinking about housing, people anymore. and i think that's all over the united states. they used to be the, you know, you never get a, have a family and you'd be able to get a house and, and we've just been this progressive thing. i don't think that's happening for most anymore. the wailing season. yeah, use my own games. i love the seat, so my dream is to one day have
10:50 am
a place in my own with my husband. and be either running or know, coram, or working at one room in the courtroom. yeah. and studying to see you guys, you know, see creatures and taking care of. um i love to see as much as i love dogs. which creatures will be the firs, any more within your inquiry, and they're on the dolphins and any day to have a spot for the crabs and the clams. and we the oysters, you know, just be those you actually can raise them and they can give you pearls. clams and oysters, they get, they give you pearls. if you have enough sand at the bottom,
10:51 am
the much more help you with that because they don't get to, to worry about. i got 0 stressors. how about you? you as a human being, how many suppressors do i don't have a list for me as me? i got no, i'm happy exactly where i need to be free from all the lies that everybody cast around likes, parity and then decide, you know, one we, because you're not so dark, you're ok or more. we do a little more dress nicer. you're all right. judge mental laval, how people should look dressed at it, all those aspects. it's going from different forms of races,
10:52 am
like my daddy. oh you say keep it simple. stupid. i have one son was right. that's totally different story. is that one? i don't know. the another thing to add with homelessness in california and one of the things and again across the board in the us as well. one of the biggest reasons we have this issue is we have a really broken foster care system up to 70 percent of children exiting the foster care system in the us become homeless at some point in their life weight when they exit after they turn 21 they basically have very little access to services, but unfortunately because of foster care system is so broken. and because these kids are going through so much trauma, by the time they hit our streets desktop for him, for mental illness, they might be suffering from a diction. oh, they might be they might be putting situations where
10:53 am
a post has them even go into incarceration, which i'll do monthly means that they end up homeless late. they like your income match the cost of living back in my time, but it doesn't match anymore. in fact i who we get in certain scandinavian countries, they have a cap on there. the minimum that you can get, which is like, i say, a $22.00 to $25000.00 a year. but in, in america there's no cap on how much you can make or how little you can get, because you can get nothing or the sky's the limit. they're talking about slash and social security and slash and different things. i don't know why. we don't get enough as it is, you know what i'm saying. you were all your life and then you want to retire. but you can't really retire because uh, i might end up homeless eventually if, if there was, if the rent keeps going up, then you know, i may eventually get homeless my own so which i worry about, you know,
10:54 am
we, so richter, profit from all this corporations during the pandemic, i'm leaving now. rick of prophets. we have more building. there is now the neighbor before i get, we have more people living in poverty and extreme poverty than ever before. corporations control and these no secret billing there's control, you know, bonded fixing america. so when that happens is every policy that comes out, the 1st thing that is going to be thought about is not the, the, the working class or the people is how is going to affect feelings. and during the, by the not in put in us, it gives each other, you know, the republic and saves that democrats. are the enemy, the democrats said the republicans, are the enemy at the end of the day. the real enemy is the people that are seeing power, you know, and we have
10:55 am
a whole bunch of followers that don't see how they have sold us out. it would be a good starter one. so it's not that bad, but it's too small. it would be a good start or would you rather stay in a car by vehicle? yes. rather than. yeah. and i'd have to learn how to drive or you have to learn for the drive. yeah. i don't have my license yet. i've never driven a car in my life, so it's also called sprains in which is squared change to words put together. you basically make a sign. you fly walking down either a median or you sit on a street corner and hope to make money with way of like the most successful day. i made a 100 bucks on this corner. yeah,
10:56 am
i do feel like there's a bill and innovation of people who are in house and their neighbors are instead of helping them, they are looking at them as a problem in very dehumanizing way. and i think if they would just embrace them as their neighbor because they are their neighbors and share and be generous. i think the world's and all this circumstance with he'll have to leave it outside for a while like um, bein underneath the bridge and hearing the car. it's susan. you can waste a lot of energy and time thinking about negative things and not being pause while you're sitting there. you know, a lot of time being negative about it. you're missing out in the opportunities that
10:57 am
to be there for you. while it's happening. like i said, we're worst critics, we'll beat ourselves up, make things harder than what it should be. it's not that it's not that hard to my name. i'm sorry. we're good. no pressure. the hey mom, it's me. i want you to give you detail out of here before i end up having to hurt myself or hurt somebody else or get hurt myself. really bad. who's coming to that? i got attacked inside of the target last night. i just got attacked and had my bike
10:58 am
showing it's all by the same people using them crazy. everybody else things crazy. but i know it's for a fact. it's not the time acceptance and i'm here to plan with you. whatever you do, you do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. i listed of opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please, or do you have the state department to see i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to
10:59 am
make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you told them to how they were looking at. i was going to dream live for dreams. come true. we have approximately 10000000 people in california that are risk of becoming on house looks good man pulls up somebody for working to pretty jobs and still not enough because of the cost of living also has increased coal bags and then go back to just last year alone, the amount of of homeless rose by 12 percent in california of
11:00 am
the water, if it meets with the leaders of your race of nations including china is the shooting thing. and turkey is air to walk. they are boosting security ties. that is some of the song high cooperation organizations after his disaster is debate performance to biden's own democrat allies begin turning on him, demanding a better candidate to stand against donald trump and the november election. and a russian missile strike destroys that you create in military helicopter and an eastern airfield. and the cab loss is on the battlefield. some problem that number, say a crew is on the horizon. probably
