are a bit. it was a peach. of geology so. i smoke sixty cigarettes a day. a crisis or. i'm in the course troops but suit up of the system that is all about profit it is human nature. as. well coming from a family of eight and poverty when i was going to school i used to have to wear two to have pants to hold one pair of pants i was poor i was so poor but i wanted to do . out of the hole the poverty you know i wanted to make a better life for myself. i don't like quality. i hate it probably. he

ever got to the place like a make some money interest whale i would do the. blank . screen. display mr people did a large figure out. there who are three people all of

a sudden. because i'm going to end of. this like you know great. business this series all these sort of numbers is going to be in the is very. different people are here for different reasons. lost a job. whatever it is they come down here to get themselves a joke. i

think the fundamental problem that we all face and whatever situation the pharmacist alaca felt like a community like a lot like a family a lack of support around you. say listen a lot like a lot of other american cities. in some ways it's still very segregated. got a lot of people that it's not enough a to pay for a place to live. for poor neighborhoods. all the areas that we go to where a lot of people almost stay this used to be if they almost can't appear. out of the city the city toward all that. a few people that have their tents caught on fire

and they died. all right. let's do it. i wish there were a better word. than being home us because i think that's not the only problem that some people have. whether you have a home or you're not there are nice people and sweet people and where they have a home where you don't than there are there are jerks and there are people that are they can be violent aggressive whether you have a home or you're not you still people still like the same. real food courts and go see it all over and call tribal courts in the jungle carts and have them gyros and you have lice and linwood rice chicken the rice fish the bulls. stick them some bogus need on their.

but i usually eat pizza. slices. you know. i need. to eat. vegetables. you know. c.b.s. every day for. a century fifty.

please. please. please. ok. i have. trouble.

we bought an old box truck on the internet and turned and what we have today of all the sounds. the baby showers for and baby. for people i think there have a shelf that. i was volunteering with a group that had food drugs and eyes i jumped in and started volunteering at

a table and taking care of my jeans stuff a friend of mine here in st louis had a salon and she gave me some really expensive shampoo and it was like you know forty dollars a bottle. i gave it to this gentleman i said here this is a really expensive shampoo and he said thank you but i got i don't know where to use it and it was just so embarrassed and ashamed i was so excited about passing out shampoo to someone but i didn't think it was far enough that they would have nowhere to use it and so i got to thinking that if we make food trucks and you know put kitchens inside of a truck why can't we put showers inside of a truck and kind of start the whole process from there but it would be good to see you good to see you give it to the kid yeah but about a week. ago i didn't think it.

when the make this manufacture come sentenced him to public wealth. when the running clubs isn't protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. that's not going all middle of the room signals. going to many more humans really cold. i know i do you know don't pound up coming up out of. the pilot told.

him why you know. him from penn there is a trade in young girls sold into an underground sex in the street sometimes by the people they trust the most. my mother. and son. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first circuit and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one. billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers

overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you know forward to miss one and only. i did the war planning for the principle force provider command in the united states military for four years i've worked on this region for years i do not understand this saudi arabia is the greatest state sponsor of terrorism in the world still today and yet we call here on that and we lie when we say that we right blatantly lie when we say that and moreover we know we're lying.

when i was ten years old i discovered i could seen a little bit and didn't know harmony so some guys in the neighborhood told me how to harmonize and we formed a group my brother nine a couple more guys got out and we did the local talent shows in the schools and in the nightclubs in memphis. blues a local star talent you know in the city of memphis. police song everybody else's stuff you know the guys who already had records that we were so good and we saying their stuff you know so today went out and come out and work so hard so they gave us the first segment of the hour and we say we just got. the step and you know we saw it just like this here. and then i would do all these things is impossible. to say something like the song is all heard.

all fields on the t.v. and you can. be on the eve of the station in the show you will hear in the end. i am the. police on the right. part of the plan b. . take up my brief time. pm to see the same people speak to from time to time the people in my place on top.

of this is on the breakfast rescue mission where the largest free service provider of meals in philadelphia where the only service provider breakfast in the entire city. was there four hundred meals a day no matter what always. that includes breakfast lunch and dinner.

also about one hundred eighty all every single night we just need a place to sleep. every single bed in this room that currently has a pillow on it is actually a physical person who has reserved this bed tonight so as you can see we really are almost completely full. sunday breakfast rescue mission is one hundred thirty nine years old so there were actually quite a few homeless individuals in philadelphia at the time it was even way before the great depression yet there was a very large homeless epidemic in philadelphia. we don't receive any government funding so that means that we're completely independent of the strings that would come along with accepting any money from the

government. we do this because we don't necessarily want the strings but also if there is giant budget cuts that like there were a few years ago we actually don't get affected because we have our entire revenue stream from individuals who are donating us money instead of. through something that is so easily attained changeable like. policy. so in the past few years in america we've had quite a difficult time with passing our budget that means that we've actually had a few weeks where our government shuts down because we just can't get it passed. that does become quite a problem for people who are relying on. and that might.

not. go third.

well we've got a mayor that i mean his wife probably the house of the mentally ill of the homeless that really hasn't happened. i got a call from a city on twenty billion dollars surplus for for a while housing has come off and the. a only thing i see the bills here is mall tell. me. you know i live on the street do a lot of homeless people have water street but simply said you know all of the draw made all some of my fellow citizens. which step for the demands of government

officials who are entities is spread more than a white horse to get to the street because some poor. people there jane help them sell. a lot of it is just the unfortunate fact that most people in philadelphia are only about two paychecks away from homelessness so that means you don't have a job for four weeks and then all of a sudden you're going to be homeless because you are literally living from paycheck to paycheck you need that next job in order to continue paying rent and if you don't pay rent then you will be affected. from my perspective i really believe that the route to homelessness in philadelphia

is the fact that. there is a very high population below the poverty line. a lot of people if you lose two paychecks that's not going to be a big deal but in philadelphia that is an extremely big deal for about forty percent of the population. anyone can become homeless a lot of people become homeless because of some sort of catastrophic event in their life maybe medical bill was just too high or a fire in their house maybe a divorce or something like that could could potentially cause homelessness.

why the more of a local boy. are you a savvy holiday i know that so i've told our welfare tough question. i was born first we need your college graduate. have two masters in a bachelor's degree. i'm dressed for a business school. i was a marriage child so for seventeen heroes of my life. ex-military. my wife passed and their breast cancer at six thousand six a part of me died with her. i got very lonely started the forces started committing suicide attempts.

so i just let us see him draw us on a daily basis. and developed a very bad drug habit and mental problems behind. why i'm not sick enough for them that's all for when. the truck full of webs don't want me because of my mental health history i see file. well of course so low i mean i can become extremely violent when i have to be. done want to get my life back together i'm tired of the on the street i've been doing this over a long time. i don't really want to help i had

a lot of small side steps. back to go back to charge them all aspects of god. i'm trying to be the best person i can be a second at a time david so always decent. sometimes i mess up i make mistakes you know but i need help and i don't want to go by myself i'll try mostly mossad's i've tried i understand what they're going through and i can make their life a little bit more comfortable become the face of the homeless and have a platform in the fullest for the homeless and then let them know that is really a selfless left a selfish thing because it's really not about me anymore it's all about you know what can i do to make life better for somebody else having that experience myself there's a place captivates and then. just the thought and i want to be

a. long way. to the. central pause when i want to be. catching a show. dog.
