when you when you're young you have a lot of energy and headed because our and i went around painting beggars in the street and i went to the bowery i painted bums i'm sorry. i'm not that political i'm not that. you know to me it's more about. statics you know if i paint black people it's not because i love them or don't love them i find it beautiful i find it easy to paint. the political i mean. the city is so close to you know. to me. it's like the rich get rich in a pool of people just like to watch. how do you full so far down so most. from me unemployment. and half expected me plus my friends.

and tell police where your answer it is usually if. you live on a street you know something i must down to change station sometime i live in a change station when you get cold you know but on city got a lot of house and phone list people but the government is not really funding it. no and in a lot of the shelter today be having people rallies down the street because people begin raped and sheltered to get god you gotta sleep with one eye open and one out close i was in a shelter in one town and a gal like right next to me being john a rabid dog jumped in a no stop. in shelters is no good that's why you see a lot of homeless people on the street to feel safe. in c.d.o. you know to make a few i'll die here and pay somebody to let you stay and made it seem that way you know you say i see by about myself you know. i know it's not that much but

i know you only got one life so i'm going to happen it's going to happen anyway and i just created a lot of don't. i just keep my head up and every day long i got another shot. instead of a file you put your entire yeah and that's. when i grew up here in new york in the fifty's and sixty's for instance there were three soup kitchens in new york down the bowery and one in brooklyn today there are twelve hundred and over eight hundred camp trees and other emergency food programs that's how the need has grown when they first started this soup kitchen in nineteen eighty one or two or three depending on who you ask and it was an epidemic cope almost just in the eighty's you couldn't walk down the street without four people each block asking you for something homelessness was very visible today thirty some odd years later there are

more homeless people in new york then there were down by almost double and yet you don't see them as much because what the result of the laws and the result of the regulation is just too high homelessness not to fix it not to cure it but i think that's what the result of safe cities broken windows policy is all that stuff that's with the result of that is stuff i almost missed and to make it a crime. but what i. heard. kamal do.

they sent me to a program. for i have to. go and. look around including a room more no smaller than the jail for six and a bit and that's me sitting next. to the bathroom you should really get on. to the man walking out. so homeless people here in new york city that's come december was very very brief period very very cold snowy. people do you feel i mean if you know. i've been i've been on the beach of their own home that i would on the subway i get knocked up in some way they could just flip you shelters because i got jumped in a shelter where i just had to do i've been doing about it does anybody get locked up on purpose now. just thinking like why do they get locked up in for shelter and food. coming from them right now ironically

ironically i'm worth more to the city of new york he told me i don't personally work. if i got you to lock you up to make money you back you up didn't even read a make money even jail three days in jail to get people fed and. i mean so you make me sit in one with you thinking as you get locked up. actually in defense of america if you have an address you can get supplemental security or you can get both but we'll see if. they don't like you but then you simply if you're supposedly able bodied men they will give you welfare but they want you to work a few hours a day do something but if you're disabled then you're entitled to supplemental security income which is about like eight hundred dollars a month plus who stands close. medicaid but you have to have an address in order to

receive a check it doesn't have to be your own lease but you can say you're living with somebody you are living with a friend or how do you get in a dress if you're homeless. because they. think they did a bunch. of. great take. a class. take squat right krug break ok this is his corner this is this is his spot and everyone who lives on that street knows him and when they go to the nice restaurant and they have extra food to take out they get to give a gift to him both in a good mood to give him a cooler or. nothing. at all to. load it up. put up a little cabin things look at me a little bit this is

a really hard to do you know. moment and. then go when he was in our room he painted the postman the poster he was like in costume get a blue suit and he had a hat and a beard when you paid regular people like someone like a lawyer or doctor or some imagist nab you know it's boring. and sometimes the homeless people you look biblical look like they're out of the bible and long beards and tragic eyes and so this is what interests me the basic statics of the subject. i know subject to. participate. but not a sense of humor. to catch that. every day come along and. i think i'd i'd like for my basic

reason he didn't say like the sound. i we saw that the people that swayed one. jobs sold short. his deal said he would look at my painting. that it was finished he wanted to take it away he said that's my soul. you're a jewel you're going to get a million dollars from the guggenheim museum i mean it was like an educated and in certain ways you say that i'm taking a page yes mine so we have to we have to face a little bit so it's ok if they do today because nobody would be able you know i'd love to talk about it so i bought him up in a beer and i grabbed my painting and i read into it that's the. truth to get away.

is a great deal of mental illness and some of it's quite serious some of the schizophrenia and look people are very very hard to treat and really need medication in order to function in somewhat normal way and then the people just angry at the world it's a society and don't want to have anything to do with any part of of any system and would rather find their own way of surviving. stalled talks accusations traded and endless demands made this sums up the process being played out in geneva with virtual stalemate on the battlefield outside proxies far left to make the hard decisions and compromises to alleviate and then to finally end a civil war which of these outside powers have the political will. the

. gentleman i guess you all know you. are. produce you even a few hundred a day come across if you don't believe i'm going. to face those i'm going to vote. for you we've got people coming in with criminals where you have people who knows where in the world this is the united states i'm very tough by the way you know to sure i was worried that they may not know what they live on mars you know mars. so we pick up things like. turbans prayer rugs so when we know they do they're coming from the middle east they get concentration camp. concentration camp.

as if the white house is not even want to disclose the fact that. a stranger. how do you operate dylan but again i'm going to. sports and such experts did. not an olympic hockey mom would say is on a mission to find out played. by fire. the piece of legislation was a terrible mistake and led very hard to take out a letter to get along here is a plot that never had sex with the target there's no legs let alone.

or. do you might know it was kind of on their initiative at a certain point near history where the mayor asked churches and other religious institutions to step up in helping solve the homeless at the back so a lot of faith institutions actually did step forward and provide to the church that program for our program guests arrive between seven thirty and turned thirty and night and then they leave by seven o'clock in the morning. it was set up that way mainly because that's so only way we could make it work with the volunteer staff here. if you really happen anywhere can have as little as just a one bedroom apartment and it can happen. we have. here because it is available but you know people would appreciate any where they sleep. on the going to say about this people does that you don't
