9:03 pm
have to set aside our rational human response and then having cut all those feelings all off you know your sense to it because if you don't you just start screaming that one day and the middle of it and you won't stop i went out to a track in 2009 and we got bombed every thursday they went lop off rock allow rock rock around its mortar rounds whatever happened one night one of those rounds hit $34.00 guys and. i think one of them survived i really remember because kind of hurt my memory with the math and everything to try to forget about it but. we lost 33 guys 3 m.p.'s. he talked about numbness and i got back i had no fear period and i was afraid of anything you
9:04 pm

9:05 pm
and. i just thank god for each one of my bets with regards to whether you're ready an army navy coast guard they're not marines that ask you up will thank you. when i actually came here and i mean yeah that person scary situation and the diversity here is you know we have straight and we have gay and we have transgender and i'm actually gay veteran and also came out with. my hiv status i'm a chubby positive and. you know the day acceptance from the group was very much overwhelming and. they opened up arms and you know they offered words of encouragement that
9:06 pm
was actually remarkable. and we come so rich that we could give me a career fair or love. in their day that is. that is true. you know every veteran out there is one of my brothers and sisters. i want to be there for him you know it's all my my my vets all the time i said look you know i'm i'm not a social worker by nature. a room. it sounds harsh but by and large i don't really care about the average person out there. but i do this because i love my vets on.
9:07 pm
the. planet. earth. oh wait you. know. all the program is designed it's a 30 bed transitional program for homeless vets and so yes they all had to been
9:08 pm
homeless and all that friends like you are going their goal is self sufficient income so we help them apply for benefits we help them go back to school or get employment. or morning how are you going to interventions difference to their needs are different and so we're able to treat them to the root issues whether it's addiction whether it's mental health. or you either. you're. going to have red. meat. it's a little that you say maybe hung over. to them or you. used to fire through and worm farm out and raise i'll get sleep in. sydney i really just want to be from the room. where i live for the marines.
9:09 pm
just. so we're learning how to do just. so i can marry a relationship with your. children its worth. that's simpler it doesn't turn destructive. like the morning to yeah every morning. sorry are you that is your guy right now when he 1st came in here he was. yeah i thought he needed medication bag because you get out he would if he was having a real bad time and counselor was in session with somebody so i can get the cows are out of the office i thought roger was going to get his truck at least. that's what oh yeah yeah well you know deep down i get it went to 2 weeks of 2 and 2 weeks and he was calm down it was amazing it was. all going good to swab the
9:10 pm
floor the navy guys should be getting. their call swamis. the one thing i'd like to highlight not particularly with the new veterans coming into these programs is that it is a program so you don't run shelters you know this isn't a mission. it's a man's supportive housing program. everybody takes turns doing chores and somebody has been living on the street for 15 years cleaning the kitchen might be totally alien experience for them but it's something that they all have to do like it or to teach that.
9:11 pm
i don't know i don't know how to sad but there's just i love this place you know how i wish everybody could experience this. this is my car even my wife lived in this car. it's not a good place to live but i guess it beats the street. you know let me show you where i was living. it was basically. sit like this and put the seat. where is it right here all the way back and this is this is the position we slept in you know i'd have sleeping bag pulled up over me and my pillow behind my head but as you could see i'm not burgle or horizontal yeah.
9:12 pm
so i wasn't i mean you try to turn over and you just get more uncomfortable and that's where they all called him and you know you drink it off our car you just passed them out a way to do that and you wake up in the morning so or you know when you do you start your day all over again doing the same thing trinket so you wouldn't have to feel anything when you when you try had to crawl back in this thing and sleep in it the end i think happened in the mcdonald's parking lot and i stopped getting i try to use more drugs and they just wouldn't work and it's like likes something outside of my so to not. now went to a veterans resource center and things have just been going good sense and you know i completed i did everything i needed to do. to do the right thing you know to get help. and now this car is just a reminder of what i'm done with. today like this so good. i'm
9:13 pm
going to hang on to what i get. a leg and go. sit in a freak out you're going to. let me know when it's that big he's going. to be there. but when it's so. easy to get big fish i'll. just. have you see circumstances where you can say i've seen circumstances in which the client didn't want to be saved. somebody will decide. when you're or i'll call was much more important at that moment and then
9:14 pm
we just hope that we left enough of an impression that at some point they'll be ready for hoping the come back we can. never turn our back on a veteran and we're not going to do it today hopefully some day they'll all come back. i have just had i am a veteran of 2 branches i did 6 years active duty many is a separate mission for mary went into the naval reserves. completed i went into the army national guard which i am still hurt currently serving him. with a total of 14 years now for the car they were playing with just sticks i have periods when i where i have a substance abuse problem that i have about all that and get over it which was hard and now and again and the last time was a lot harder but at least i was able to. bounce back from it all.
9:15 pm
and since then have been trying to find income to help kind of move forward to. read and to really have the crossed over to it a precarious now. and give you a heads up. your cool day isn't compassed way of doing nothing but surviving that foothold to go around to look for housing or to look for jobs it becomes much harder because you're more focused on where am i going to get my next meal. or how am i going to get to these free services or how my going to these things. and then to think about where our next hour. can i mean you look homeless and your clothes are all the name stuff like that you can't better even if you want to change. a lot of very young 78
9:16 pm

corner of the growth is so little. in syria the war with. a course of a minister of keenest. a european judge tasked with imposing or a new order and a trial testing the news of a newly formed nation. witness. highway on al-jazeera. so again i'm fully back to go with the headlines on al-jazeera mexico's foreign minister is in washington for talks after u.s. president donald trump threatened to tax all mexican imports child wants his southern neighbor to stop the flow of migrants or face a 5 percent tariff which could increase to 25 percent. since.
9:19 pm
i believe this measure will be further analyzed by the united states government i believe that president trump will understand that this is not the way to solve things i think that there will be a correction if not right away at some point because these measures are neither in the interest of mexicans nor united states citizen. meanwhile u.s. forces have started collecting higher taxes on several goods coming from china beijing's retaliatory duties on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. products have also come into effect last month president donald trump increased levees on 200 $1000000000.00 worth of chinese imports from 10 to 25 percent it's us police say a disgruntled city employee has killed 12 of his coworkers at a local government complex in virginia beach the suspects died after a gun battle with police is the worse incident of mass shooting in the u.s. so far this year syrian government forces and their russian have bombed several

9:21 pm
tourists were killed when the boat sank on wednesday those are the headlines shelter continues next on al-jazeera. t.v. a little platform where i stand. with my boyfriend me a couple of their neighbors so to say. this is our tank and growth is a profit. and one man about being homeless man situation i remember 2 nancy who knew when the robbery happened. sheriff's office and the coming down here looking for the assailant sort of thing came out here would have. come out basically told us he had a week to move. and it's quite common here in the homeless community. when searchers are definitely the most underserved population. we could put
9:22 pm
a man that's homeless right now no problem but we have a young female that has no place to go and has to hide has to hide. harper. our. best sexily a new 10 off of our and my last paycheck but the 1st one when i was over in this corner and after the 1st rant because it had holes and whatnot we were so all of our betting everything with us and just so and i was lying down in my socks my clothes his wrinkly minutes of him yeah. these are my girls kids you know. they were both rescues.
9:23 pm
clearly like my heart tends to be bigger than i can handle. like logistically you know. i have had her students which is 5 weeks old and the v.a. certified her as a therapy dog for me she actually just being my baby. turned into like a p.t.s. response to all so when i'm feeling like really edgy and i defensive sure really post up close to me and make sure that nobody like. the religious i mean she i think she knows that nobody's going to hurt me if she just knows that like there's times i can't handle it was proximity to other people. i was a navy diver. so. i did primarily as
9:24 pm
submarine rescue and i worked on actually had a really good job in the navy. undiagnosed mental illness was a major part of why ended up homeless. these girls back in here. a minute ok. you can totally mean you can get in there. and go home i the psychiatric drugs you know. at the ready and i haven't missed a dose of my medication since i've been given it and i just really like. ok i mean i can i can write lists now and like realistically c.l.'s through in a day. call people back. whether i'm going to make an appointment or not. it sucks it's terrible it's no you know nobody should have to live like this
9:25 pm
but at the same time i have i do have a roof over my head and 4 walls and organic heaters you know what i mean i will never go cold. and on never not get my hugs for a day i'm clear about the fact my hands out and my hat's off and i need some help. it you know and when i'm in a position to like reach out and help somebody else that your ass i'm going to be there like as soon as that opportunity shows up on my feet will have. me.
9:26 pm
part of the pathology of trauma and inveterate is them wanting to i squeak from society from each other and we just want to be left alone. and that's our biggest challenge i think we fight desperately to get them out of their comfort zones and get them back together and get them the sitting at a table to make friends you know to do things that people in normal society you. contacted security. being with other people. was what heals. to them and. their growth. rate that. right so one of yours is ready to move on week
9:27 pm

9:29 pm
i came here with so much shame and this place picked me up and you guys did too. you know i still got a lot of work ahead of me you guys looking forward to get out of here you know and have a bit of autonomy you know i want to talk to me and i want to feel good about myself to get my family back. god bless you all and thank you. and i'd be remiss trudy i love you too you big like you did a great friend to me we hit it off right off the bat i forgot i forgot i'm sorry i missed you we hit it right up bad. yeah we sure you're right person. did you. hear me say. the. car.
9:30 pm
let. me get. this. given. moment yesterday when i left the story completely had no idea where it was didn't know where my car was had a full blown panic attack and just going through those where in one minute i'm in reality the next minute i'm not quite painful. in this process is you know brought up all this stuff i've stuff for 20 years yeah. i don't i just miss my good friend jenny hi how do you do. dave. this is j g more nice to meet you. i went into the coast
9:31 pm
guard to go help others when i was 17 and a month before i went to maps they weighed me and told me i was 5 pounds overweight i was 170 lb body builder with 6 percent body fat so i quit eating in basic training so through my time in. my anorexia took over my life at that point i was 112 pounds. so i finally was able to get into rehab in rehab my 1st week i was then cornered several times by a counselor and the last time he raped me so my history in the military was difficult one for something i wanted to do something i so wanted to do i had to get out to save my life women with m.s.t. military sexual trauma if any female says i've been raped or i've been sexually
9:32 pm
assaulted or i have been brutally badgered they had nothing happens it's sort of falls on deaf ears and you get kicked out and you get nothing and it happens time and time again. i also myself was raped 3 times different times in the military and it definitely is it's horrible and it happens to women quite often very much often that was 20 years ago when i finally broke this last may. i had been stockpiling pills and i'd already been drinking a lot and taken a lot is innings through the day. so it took about 80 norco's percocet xanax prepared all and then some into an argument like you shouldn't drink of whiskey. and i was ready and i said i'm going to bed.
9:33 pm
i thought i would be done i looked it up on the internet that combination should have killed anybody. my next thought. was my friend jenny shaking me awake screaming at me. saying if you're dead i'm going to kill you bitch today. not so much i was so mad to be alive and the only thought i could think of was i can't believe i'm here i can't believe i'm still here. i convinced her i was just sick she went to go get another friend to help watch me overnight while they were gone i took a half a bottle of tylenol pm. the next day. when i woke up again i was like you've got to be kidding me but by that. that it now you know i'm really glad of suicide
9:34 pm
i'm. well you know you're inspiring i'll say that my goodness too to have to come out of the other side of what you have been through and what you have been tempted is amazing thank you you are made of iron thank you are no. i would like to just share some things with you i would like to do you do tend. to. have short term memory. to have. characters. i'm not. wrote this song of mine to haiti to
9:35 pm
a patient in the hospital and. or caroline. the. nurse that was least in charge who's in charge of me i don't want to use the charge . was just a wonderful person. this is some gratitude. so the 1st time i came back down here after the hospital just being able to see the trees again and the ocean and feel grateful for being here and having survived. was just kind of. breath taking.
9:36 pm
in the hospital i had a social worker tell me that we're all spiritual beings having a human existence we have tough times we have good times that's the whole balance of why we're here and that has really helped me because i'm doing good today but you never know i get triggered things happen but if i can. 33 and walk down here or remember this in my mind i know what it is. they say that. a veteran commits suicide every 61 minutes here in the united states and unfortunately i think the number is so off the drinking the drugging the overdosing the risky behavior. i'm sure that sure that number number is at least double that in terms of. all these other causes.
9:37 pm
we reverted it least in the last month 24 suicide seemed to training that and the mandate my case managers get and then. you know we've probably lost 3 in the last 2 months and who knows how many more that we've engaged with that we just haven't heard of it this juncture you know it's. it's horrible. when. we have a lot of successes to clients that come into the program they work really hard. and they leave us. i don't want to say normal but they leave us you know better productive members of the community they are happy they're healthy
9:38 pm
yeah the 1st week go out to get by a truck a brick you believe every do. you start it up. you know fill resist so you know the big. it works with the group the group there if you really were. it was it. works well because role that you ensure that you are. and the staff here 1st or there's a this 24 hour duty stuff and the guy at night has helped me greatly that i had a couple of crazy flashbacks and i got to come down todd to the guy we talked for a few minutes walk around outside and i didn't have to go but to my old bobby age i got to work out in a safe environment and go go back to sleep and say no you know the sheriff's arresting me. to spank you.
9:39 pm
the more i beat you are the more good things that come around. so for marines give more. in your life than your. face you can't walk up and you're like. going to that if you've ever had to do when you can let you off but we were up to. that like it was ok i will. i think i have there's somebody that has become a lot closer to me if i see her every day and i talk to her every day. i've actually got might even be in my unemployment is out so i've been getting out which helps a lot. gives more sense of freedom to be able to do a lot more stuff and catch up and repay people back as well. and that money that
9:40 pm
she did receive she was able to take care of her debt with her storage facility she actually gets to go enjoy some space there's always room for dinner. that's ok how for you i think. i'm well you know david and i we have our house or so we've been looking around like that for housing yeah i don't actually go to the readily believe there's a hotel right next to 2nd city comment was i just heard about that 2 weeks ago yeah we looked and looked and looked and we've disconsolate come up against a door. for 5 dollars i'm going to get groceries you better get a number of really great when you're not like 100 are you know they take a bus like that. you're.
9:41 pm
on the. phone with. them were. my. belief is going to. be. thank you very much only i was really a. somebody yeah i think that 320 and 32 going in and. creating a major for a. baby in her book make them seem very damp. takes them according to one of the. said to me that means.
9:42 pm
they're all going to make me right we're going without some friends you don't have your kids. and they may have only met one of them when i. think or did you kind of think yes thank you for your service thank you for. your. story. the bloody. shock. i think the biggest shock factor for me is that how many of our young vets not only old vets but our young vets are coming back you know a year removed from military and they're already homeless and have an issue with addiction. i'm going to.
9:43 pm
read deep into the game. look at the trauma for the trauma in every corner of every room of every building that we run i mean it is torture every night is sleepless and so necessary for half the conflicts be sentenced to. suss. out. i mean streams of. looming oh. gee. you know these guys are heroes and they deserve. the best of what we've got we made a promise to these people you do for them to put for once you know we make
9:44 pm
a lot of promises americans that we don't keep well this is one promise demagogy need to suit the needs who care these people that are. or the seeds souls of their. lives. you. could snap your fingers and have something spectacular happen. you know my 1st reaction is as it's happened every day when you see you saving a life to help somebody else a little tiny bit of a miracle the cool part of that but if i could step out my failures let's not have another goddamn more.

9:50 pm
from entering the u.s. mexico sworn minister is in washington for talks and he's expected to meet michael bail later this week the u.s. is also ending a decades long preferential trade agreement with india and as of saturday american ports began collecting 25 percent tariffs on several goods coming from china while beijing's retaliatory taxes on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. products have also come into effect we'll have more on that in just a moment but 1st here's manya rapido with reactions from mexico. u.s. president donald trump has renewed threats against mexico over immigration enforcement trampling the mexican government via a series of tweets adding quote on june 10th the united states will impose a 5 percent tariff on all goods coming into our country from mexico until such time as illegal migrants coming through mexico and into our country stop also threaten to slam mexico with tariffs as high as 25 percent by october and mexico has for

many years had a pretty tough immigration policy against central americans and we're just asking them to help us to not because gateway between the northern travel countries we have people pouring in you've seen the statistics 1000 just yesterday or so up to 100000 in some months that can't be. drum during his morning press conference mexican president unbiased manuel lopez obrador called on the u.s. to engage in a rational dialogue mexico's deputy economy minister. offered her own job at the idea of tariffs. they have to understand that this way of going forward is not in the interests of the united states and secondly of course know that mexico has the legal instruments. it becomes necessary because we think this is an arbitrary an abuse of measure talks going on now between the u.s. and mexican authorities will likely include with these latest developments mean for the pending trilateral trade deal between the us mexico and canada what remains to
9:52 pm
be seen is whether the threat of tariffs will simply evaporate like the time president from britain to close the us mexico border but never did when it up and i'll just see the mexico city let's bring in ross in jordan live for us in washington d.c. mexico's foreign minister a number of mexican officials are in washington for talks what can we expect is there a chance to try and administration will back down from this threat to impose tariffs on mexican imports. it's not looking likely that the trumpet ministration will back down fully and that's because of the president has now established a rather robust record of using not just tariffs with sanctions in order to try to achieve what he thinks are viable u.s. policies on everything from immigration to economic dominance of course the fact that tell you're only supposed to use tariffs to deal with economic disputes is is
9:53 pm
being broadened in the case of mexico and it's something that really has not been seen before it's raising questions frankly about whether the president might want to use tariffs in order to for example get european countries to pay more of their annual g.d.p. in order to support nato operations that would certainly be outside of the realm of what tariffs are supposed to be used for yeah and some republican lawmakers who normally support president trump said tag the wrong tool to address illegal immigration can they be that wants to talk him out of a day and also what sort of reactions have they been in washington to this move by the bison. well there was even though congress is away for a district work period a chance for the legislators to see their constituents in person and to hold office hours and whole tell halls there has been bipartisan criticism of this decision to
