police be told language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on the t.v. reporting from the world talks about six of the i.p.t. interview most intriguing stories for you to. see in trying. to find out more visit our big dog all teeth dog call. them to move. through dude. who's moved in. to. his own. pulls. to.

bring. a. new mom or. food and. food really the. case that we're here in tent city and this tent city is in lakewood new jersey the campus about seven years old. it's one of the largest tent cities on the east coast

of america and it's got about one hundred people here it's very diverse racially diverse culturally diverse all the old reasons of the traditional reasons for homelessness you've got alcoholism yet mental illness you've got other types of addiction you know but now we've got people here just because of economics solely because of economics the cost of housing in this area especially is very high it takes three minimum wage jobs for a single individual to afford the basic necessities of life if this is public land and we're part of the public and they've created an environment where we can afford a place to live i believe as an american we have a right. to camp out or to possess public land and tells something is created. it might appear that tent city is you know everybody is just you know drinking or

you know you know causing problems for each other and where expecting government handouts that's not the case it's the first line of attack from people who don't like tent city or from people who don't like the homeless the first line get a job get bombed that's what that's the line right that's not the case most of the people work here i live full time job a lot of people have full time jobs and i still can't afford a home that's why i'm here i'm a overnight clerk there's a shop right about a mile of the road i work overnight stock and i back. you know i work full time make my paycheck put it in the bank and i save it i still live in a tent i'm not i don't i'm not any sort of government assistance i make too much money. so because i work full time i'm too rich you have to make less than a certain amount of money and it's appends on your household the number of people in your house it's just me i'm not married no kids so for me the money that i make i'm too wealthy i do qualify for food stamps. i can get about forty two dollars

a month in food stamps on a sliding scale the maximum for one person is two hundred dollars a month and the minimum i think is about twenty dollars a month depending on how much money you make so because i work full time i'm too rich to get welfare or temporary rent assistance or general assistance where they just give you a check for one hundred forty dollars a month so. go figure two wealthy that's my house i live in a tent i'm too wealthy. it's a good general systems. is i mean this this works out this is right this is the way america is supposed to be. it's its own ballots you have hardworking upstanding citizens who can afford homes. you know thirty years thirty years we lived in new york thirty. and we've been vegetarian. and we rescue animals we only lived in new york city we spent

tens of thousands of dollars rescue. believe in the tens of thousands of dollars rescuing birds we if we hadn't done we wouldn't have been home with. what do they call it in this in this you know you know what any good had security money but i don't regret it because we saved so many wonderful lives here yeah i'm assuming the textile industry professor in five years and it's just pretty much a small been outsourced to china and the industry was very large mostly new york based it was just stunning from that bird's friends primarily did some low things to. the furniture. and. went up the ladder into the channel and i was assigned to rock. in my biggest.

it's like trying to argue. that you know you did make. your designs so to millions of dollars you see. pennies on the tallent pennies on the docket it literally. choose to. lie to them i was. like yes. right chang. that's right. somebody could just see. me each of them actually there were three of them they each meet a million can't be here until. just those three. not counting everything else like . i was really quite successful. so that it's you know there's a lot of reasons why people end up in tent city but again you know i i don't ask

any questions when they come down here and they say i have no place to stay you know we'll give them a tent you know just gave give them some basic rules and the fundamental rule is respect your neighbor you know get along with your neighbor and for the most part they they do the community is quite quite good about getting along with each other and the fire burnt coming back from it right there but having that run you'll feel. good thank you. what. time is it that's better than having an illness i have that right now here you have on this list and i would have been reached at just about an hour i mean i'm at baghdad if they were it thank you for just having. a bad way and that's why you're going to get i don't think things are good thank you and they all and the hundreds of you. can help her. along with me.

there is all this good being donated here this comes from up on high end warehouse . in a neighboring town a few far from here maybe maybe three miles and what it is is when it gets close to the date you know the expiration date they can't send it on to their people so so they don't they get you know a tax write off you know want to things that they donate so it benefits us just. you know in date very close to date but in date and it's a true you know a tremendous you know benefit for the homeless thing is we good we still don't have a place to live you know which girl. who knows good short game could flee to the people with. child one and going right and. pretty much came here because on. the plane we had in the bar when. we went two hundred dollars short of

a one of. four firemen and they make that us all of the stuff got taken away from us and everything and we wound up here in every sense and your system has been a blessing to listen he opened up his arms so us and in a number wanted to. make a career being homeless. it was of people who i get into and they like in this when they want to do it because it's free when you know they're on the pier and then the worry is that we would if you if you can vicariously survive like that that's their status the thing with me personally i like stability unless. you listen to the townspeople it's your cross section. come

out it never happened they have no idea what i'm like sometimes. a lot of times will get you know things donated by companies. so it's better to just whatever i get i just give out freely i never charge he's. a lot of these people especially the spanish the next. confabulation a lot of them are over living in overcrowded conditions slumlord conditions of bad plumbing battle like tricity you know of wires running all over the place crowded into small spaces you know doing whatever they can do to secure their housing a lot of it's substandard housing in there just a scraping by was easy to look manas my. money here is the reason. and.

the end of the. house would. be easy. because. we both. don't think any of this is subsidized that the people are you know bank but this out of their own pocket again it was probably a couple of bam lease living per bartman here sharing the expenses of the apartment but i don't think in most of the mexicans you know a lot of them aren't registered americans or legal americans so are the coleman documented so that they can't get any government help you know maybe if their children are born here they can get some food stamp money but they won't get into

subsidized housing if they're if they're. not doctrinaire. and well they're afraid of immigration you know the immigration has been stepping up lately you know and if anybody gets full for the time you know legal infraction there are no sending them back to mexico people are very wary very wary right now. anybody strange. yeah. after coming here i have to develop a new website for town city and i maintain it's facebook page. until now most people knew about tent city from the local media outlets which aren't all which ones are always very friendly for the website we're trying to put out our own our own voice and you know cover things from our perspective and on the web site

reaches out to. people for different kinds of things you know it's it's for you know just news and happenings really density and some ways they can they can help. it will this this time of year starts to pick up so the summer summer is the hottest for the can say july and august at a slower slice of people don't need them in their cars and the kids go back to school picked up and then a really big some from november to december christmastime. i was working for a high voltage electrical contractor doing work in the lincoln tunnel by holland tunnel the george washington bridge and then coming home at night and going out to the woods and bringing sleeping bags and you know propane in the wintertime you know doing whatever i could to help them out and then after a while i realized i couldn't do both i couldn't keep my job work up in new york

city and then come down to you know come down here and go out into the woods at night time all over the place and meet the needs of the home so i decided to leave my job and started doing this full time. misselling member lloyds banking i think that was their specialty in the u.k. was. like barclays what their specialty is libel or fraud or a just b. c. their specialty is money laundering and then rolled back. into the leg breaking and mafia whacking of their subsidiary of the global restructuring groups every bank has their own special way to commit fraud here if you want to get mis selling fraud go to lloyd's.

right close to. first street. and i think put. on a reporter's. instrument. the . law.

i'm marinating in the financial world moves. back to serious developments coming out starting city very slowly taking on the demand for credit not going to get any economic benefit in life there are good and there are but.

ok let's go ahead and open up with a word of prayer. heavenly father we thank thee for another day that thou has given us the breath of life another day to enjoy the beauty and wonders of the great creation. would continue to help us in tent city even is now is already done by the b. c. the dike they will miss and i kindness toward those father in need of valor here in tent city we see the real in tangible ways in which thou does care for the poor and the needy. we have pizza every day. name of jim he meets me out of the road and bob o'clock in the morning he goes around to about ten

pizza parlors at the end of the day whatever they've got left over and they didn't sell on the shelf they donate you know to tim or to the homeless or answer champix that i've been that he goes and he sleeps on the road he's homeless themself loses his car and it's all he does all day long as he takes people to the doctor you pick up from bakeries delivered a pantries and he does this all on his his pension check he sleeps in his car and spends his money on helping people all day long yes amazed you have never seen a higher degree of self-sacrifice there because he is a true tour of vietnam combat that will. modernise him be monetized thank. you very much in. a lot of it and so i believe the words of the bible i believe there's eternal life so that's what i'm investing it in other words it's mine because i believe it and so what i've got here i can use to help other people because i don't have to attain

anything here this is just an investment for wants to calm down. but it's so it's on when we're down we've got this really he's happy because all i do is wake up and is this in. wake up and just get me up always theory on no because before i used to asking for like on types of food and now i'm sure that i crave the end of the pool really in the morning and it might have had a lot of hamburger i don't remember you the hamburger of are named you damn it i'm . going to i mean a burger line will be mostly anything and you know if somebody is hungry in tent city they want to be hungry. because they don't have enough food for most people would come from and how you could not foresee yeah. hoping that by example they would learn a lesson but. again it's typical you know the path of least resistance whatever's

easier and i know that's a tendency with human beings you know human nature is just to find the easiest way out a lot of times with somebody else one is willing to do the work let him do it so. you know i don't mind doing it but it's you know short term this tent city is not going to be forever just those road townships are closing it down and then we're going to go to another phase. but it's on this year's overholt to be a mom part but it's very much you remember if for one year when a year. oh hopefully i'll be gainfully employed and i'll be able to be self-sufficient. you know back on the right track so i go forward. to take care you know my phone. has to go. so some of the picture while on

my other kid is not was me unfortunately home. but he's a foster care and my concerns were kids i love kids and i pretty much saw the kids out there don't i was in foster care myself but there is hope out here and i just want all the kids know they are i'll be continuing to fight for all the kids out there including mine and never give up on hold the wonderful truth that they have a good day goes. to. her new little group on . the air. new things.

all the room. to me. yeah we do think it's romantic we fight for it all the time but. who gets to make the fly who makes the best buy and of course you know who makes the best buy don't you think if i didn't say you said it right there you know the. just as if you think we were wouldn't be busy but feel the tide juvies this you know it's. very hard work you know every. little thing you do is work you know if i get to wash dishes i have to heat water i have to get water consultant wonder sprouse it you know. very hard work.

but she did want to understand her poor to. strive with that three grain stance and lose sleep pretty much lost touch i haven't talked to them in years. was. really and we haven't talked to anybody since we came here except i did talk to daughter until i found out to choose dumped all our stuff all my paintings is like me sitting on michael's knees so we had already in. that week. when we came here we weren't sure we would stand a wheel we brought the necessities. the blue line laws. is house of learning. because all my free time i like to study so i had to be on fisher house of learning.

it. is my desk this is where i do my reading. study books here a lot of his biblical you know religious freak or religious fanatic but a lot of stuff that i study is biblical also mathematics and physics i mean to quantum physics currently i'm saying to myself it's just i consider knowledge is that the best use of your time is just gain as much as you can. this is like a it's like a gingerbread house it's the cutest thousand tensity is definitely the most well maintained they put a lot of effort into it. they have they had it looks like a candy house doesn't it something like. from a storybook they made their own street what does it say one pair to his claim it's just people that are trying to live you know they are making the best of a bad situation then battling the township for of three years now since two

thousand and ten they took us to court they sued us township of lakewood sued the homeless. suit round to get us off the land and a lawyer stood up on our behalf a very strong lawyer belong to a very powerful lawyer firm they spent over a million and a half dollars representing us and so he we kind of reached a compromise that the what we would do is we would take a year's worth of housing that's what supposed to be happening but with the township is doing is trying to figure out any way they can to disqualify the people down intensity so that it's been a half a year since that that court case since the consent order was signed but nobody has gotten housing through the township and. the other night we experienced the worst of the harassment from the a police in the township that we've ever

experienced up to this time they came in and they started ticketing people giving people tickets for burning their wood stoves thanks to. our. assigned seats. we were taught this is the president. you have to deal with this it's not easy. to move all of this what is a good day with the cup of coffee. every day is good because you know woke us up this morning but some days you know the double of the take a day off so he can the pressure you into thinking that he is never going to get better. nonoy right now i have no other options all i have is ten setting i have no other have. house no apartment no other options i'm totally homeless i'm totally it like anybody else in intensity if the township closes down ten city i've got no place to go my parents were very giving and self sacrificing so i think i picked up

those traits from my parents and you know also my religious beliefs also ok to test the public i was ok thanks but i feel much more fulfilled much more satisfied much more complete as a human being reaching out to other people. but i'll tell you one thing. god is in the boat. out he's in the boat. and god's not going to let it in the way that the township thinks that it's going to hand because god is about justice god isn't bound fairness is about equality god is about the principles that the founding fathers of america spend so much time and concern in addressing the fairness of a good society. yes they'll criticize some other country

for their human rights violations in my book that's called hypocrisy my book that's cold injustice or duplicity. bomblets gone home. who lives. close long. cold. old old old. dude was told. the folks.

this is what we do we kill people and break things we can see something if simple as people playing a soccer game we can see individual players and you can even see the ball. i can only see is facial expression can we see is a mouth open crying out. maybe cursed us or maybe he asked. for forgiveness for a house. there must be near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured.

but if the new push on the army why should. let's face it peter. a pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure. rise of the islamic state or isis in the middle east is said to reorder political realities in the region the west feel colonial agenda for the arab world is coming to an end it would seem the arab spring has been replaced with a jihadi summer. i'm happy martin the stories we cover here are not going here in iraq other big story lines for headlines and talk of reason they don't want you to know. that we should leave now let's break the set.

of. ukrainian armies regain control over the eastern ukrainian cities of slavyansk. forcing civilians to flee for their lives as heavy shelling continues. because we didn't leave also in the east the tears of the villages of congress shelved care of to choose days a strike that killed twelve including a five year old boy. headlining to two men in israeli army uniforms filmed brutally beating a fifteen year old who it's thought was protesting against the slaying of his cousin a palestinian taking news of duct.
