7:31 am
7:33 am
government is not the solution to our problem government is the problem. will be our 1st priority these principles there will be no compromise. one of the points that we really felt was important to get across when you're talking about cause and effect is priorities if nobody's making money on it it's not a commodity then it has no value and it shouldn't it isn't a priority of the federal government so housing that was just from people that was not a commodity that was just a living up to the responsibilities of a. federal government agencies or people have a clean d.c.
7:34 am
from place to live that's not important anymore that's not i value. your term for walker bush william jefferson clinton who saw the water bush dishonest iraq you say obama do solemnly swear i told john trout do you solemnly swear. the world would make sense for the work of the general wages and living standards of working class and poor people the city constant or declined since the late seventy's. the numbers of people who need housing and grow because of the growth in the population the supply is not close to the to nearly the same extent so somebody is going to get squeezed out and somebody you know most people the momentum people all over the country have been squeezed out of the bottom.
7:35 am
so now there's a new public housing so the shelter system is like a public housing so because housing is not treated as even the writer of the title meant which it should be the country is both is this one. and order for us to get. and be right back to society and company office to try to resolve this issue it's gone on far too long. it's a fundamental right like having food and fish. i can find by chair. take a look at the universal declaration of human rights. as the peoples of the
7:36 am
united nations have in the charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the writings and. to see that it's a debate that's just limited and. so it seems to. me and it's one. consider. just all right actually the u.s. . universal declaration of it's 6 was most. of that there are 3 parts of this civic and political right. sort of social and economic. and there's cultural. and they're all are but.
7:37 am
doesn't just dismisses the cultural community. rejects you know. politicians have concluded that there is no answer because the answer requires resources i don't believe that's true i think that housing is the answer homelessness that you have to have supportive housing yet we're not willing to prioritize that as siding in the crazy thing is that we're paying for it anyway we jail a homeless person is san francisco a cost $140.00 a night that's about what it costs and some ill fairly nice hotels outside of the city yet we insist on believing that criminalization of almost this is the answer that if we push people who are being homeless and being mentally ill that they're going to cure themselves and be off the streets when in
7:38 am

7:42 am
7:43 am
yes it's time for us to die worms i was having chilling fever i didn't have any sense of c. source now from the most you know from the words of the world would you. recently she was on the oldest you tube. time and the song sounds that go for research. i have to confess push myself to the for me in the face i'm going to. go.
7:44 am
you know i find myself today i know i don't look good but i found myself in a home state and you know mom homelessness is not just a building i'm homeless within my body because i don't know am i making the right choices and i don't live i don't know the source that amazes us asking us and makes what i need to be still and be alright where i'm claim i'm a safe and i know i'm not that they are doing things it's going to cost me my home that makes me you know and i don't understand our calling you want to jot down my axe murder or whatever. i want you have a chance if. you want to 1st got out i was actually attacked by a guy from behind their lane he hit me in the face and gnashing choked me around my neck or survivorman. everything then december 13th i was hit in the head with
7:45 am
a rock from a high and they actually caught that guy couple would days later to a week i actually in the phone into a senior knew that and my family was going to his spot was little me come back and check all on me because i was laying out here by they are. it's known as a body of knowledge in in the year and it's it's more dandruff for women the world is more dangerous for women in that they didn't have the get to last in their in their. overall tapestry of ominous news i mean everybody's hog breaks for their children 1st of all and rightly so and there is the veteran then there is the mentally ill by you. there is a specific population called women that are having very specific needs that are we going to use and do enough so you know we made it a priority and by that we pushed through in it any beds available to them or to
7:46 am
listen to a year ago there were hardly any beds available for them and it's an unsafe place for women to be we don't we tell all our daughters to not walk in the street a lot at night in a dark that's the sort of imagine that you have no work to go. or no what do i do when something. or were. were. in the us is being told inequality is good wages figure out which song to beat your on is with your company planes on each of the o.e.c.d. . you should like workers calling for a much higher minimum wage workers at mcdonald's wendy's domino's pizza and more
7:47 am
will want not the job. you really think the federal minimum wage is one created $938.00 under the fair labor standards act ok which was in response to a 1000000 people wandering our nation looking for jobs it was the same and after the depression congress got together and started to say well we should set a standard that ensures that if somebody puts in their 40 hours in a week they can afford the basics so. it makes sense and makes sense to me it makes sense to you so we take that in a brace that good the problem is they never index it anything so they just keep picking this number out of the year and those has of congress fight over debate over it and go back and that back and forth and so. you know maybe get raised a dollar maybe it's $0.75 whatever so we sort of started this problem backwards you know we now have $3500000.00 people experiencing homelessness in this nation and
7:48 am
what we could tell that house the homeless. there's tremendous efforts to try and deal with the fallout you know. some more successful than others some different approaches like housing 1st get off the streets and then start dealing with them you know it's one. believes and it's an organization says 1989 so you know that's approach we are. and i used to look at this population as. who they are the breakdown the better and. recently released people out of the penal system single women single women with children substance abusers alcoholics. really really all the different factions but now we stood back and looked at the folly of that approach and realize that in order to really deal with it in this society which is couples we view them as. this
7:49 am
whole this group falls 'd into 2 factions those who can work and those who can't work so we walk away with this way it's $77.00 in the quarter and 'd but i i live in america and anybody who's lived in america has traveled anybody who's traveled is travel to some place which is more expensive than where they came from and they travel someplace with less expense right now the government uses the concept of one size fits all. so they keep doing it's like 70 court for everybody so whether you lose in washington d.c. or whether you live in a harley engine texas they're going to set it to 7 decor right now there's talk of raising it to $10.00 an hour well the day ringback that adds pass to $10.00 an hour that's the president is promoting for. something to get one minimum wage homeless worker off the streets of washington d.c.
7:50 am
at the same time that $10.00 an hour wage is going to hurt small business and will america and make no mistake most of america is rule they're trying to push around. pig in the square and they've been doing it over and over again and what happens is it's a very soft mork approach to our nation is made of a 1000. because it's so nice you know we devised. a single national formula based busy on existing government guidelines.
7:52 am
7:53 am
here. you will lose your money. so here the road home we have a family show for women shelter in them and shelter so one of the big fears that our families have when they come down from the shelter is that all of us are. child and family services is going to be involved in their getting their kids away i mean work very closely with. the c.p.s. . we work very hard to reassure families that that that's not how it works their families are also subject to the whims of whether it's economic instability the or family instability or health problems. family is run out of resources and they're not able to stay in their apartment anymore or stay with family or stay with
7:54 am
friends or stay in a hotel. but a lot of times by that i mean the families that walk through those doors they've exhausted all of those resources. how are you getting so wet child. yes so we have this huge playground there's. you know they have the ramp for all of the kids the stuff like that and still are still. they have this grassy area over here we try to keep the kids away from the gate just because of the semen on because this is the men's side of the shelter we have our slide in the playground for the kids and stuff like that. i've been on and off homelessness since having for the 1st 6 months of his life were stable and then i lost my job which intel lost my burman. but for you know for after that 6 months we did pretty well you know we stayed with friends here and there we stayed with
7:55 am
family but it sank i kind of started to feel like i was a burden these people you know because then they have to deal with my kid having his little fits in this that. you know i got another job and i was paying for hotel rooms you know 2 weeks out of each page i can i just got really expensive really pricey so you go to your just like all right well i'm going to keep doing it i'm going to do and i got to get up i got to work. only with having a kid a child with special abilities you kind of. you don't really get much time expression when you're a single parent you don't at all you're constantly on the go on doing this doing that picking up this picking up that it's. so you resort to of course a drug that makes you stay weak there isn't that surprisingly i got off it by was oh i didn't go to rehab or anything i just kind of kicked it. i've been clean for 3 months. there are about 150 beds in
7:56 am
this large storm area. for families who have small children it will be like if it's a single mom in a small one or 2 year old will share one of these small little bunks. and each family is allowed one of these totes per person so this has to be able to fit basically all of your earthly belongings and. let's not a lot of space as you can tell. it's tough for families. one of the great frustrations here in salt lake is that there's a substantial lack of affordable housing and so that's one of the barriers that clients have is finding a place that they can continue to afford after our assistance ends clients
7:57 am
a lot of times face other barriers to getting housing whether it's on their criminal background or they have evictions from prior apartments and so it can sometimes be really difficult for clients to find a place to live that will accept them with their background or with the funding from the road home. to help them get out of the rut that they're him. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and
7:58 am
the decision. every song came to a complete. the day that i was right. to hold a shot to kill me and i see how it destroyed. any screamed at me and he made me come in and he graham my arm and he write me. if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished than the offender and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an hour in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's men or women
7:59 am
. 6 guys or financial survival. when customers go by to reduce the price. will reduce and lower. that's undercutting but what's good for markets it's not good for the global economy. time of the time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability. sustainable prized board sustainability. more equitable and sustainable. they claim their production is completely harmless . it has no models and it does not the person companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is something elvis that's the point in even us i mean look. this is the mood stimulus and we didn't do nieminen einstein
8:00 am
seemed to be based on disk looks so going in. i was good it's what i did is. massive. massive. i'm still working on this one is called lost it will. say this about a girl that. most people in america we do feel we fight a war we'd be sent to fighting wars just need x. or. y. to get us but we. treat this when the stocks would be so low yes or a she was she from east africa she was caught in a war between the opiate in a field.
