government is not the solution to our problem government is going to crop. and will be our 1st priority usually donnelly's presuppose there will be no compromise. one of the points that we really felt was important to get across when you're talking about cars and. this priorities if nobody's making money on it i eat it's
8:32 am
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 about people that was not a commodity that was just in ballet being up to their responsibilities of the federal government to ensure people have a clean d.c. 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 has gone into iraq hussein obama do solemnly swear i told john trump do you solemnly swear. the world would make sense with the work of the general wages of 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 of
8:33 am
the population the supply has not grown to the to nearly the same extent so somebody is going to get squeezed out and some of the most people the moment people all over the country have been squeezed. 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. sister.
8:34 am
as incompetent as you try to resolve this issue it's gone on far too long it's a fundamental right like having food good for the nation. i think anybody care let's take a look at the universal declaration of human rights. as the peoples of the united nations have in the charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights in the dignity and worth of the human person and in equal rights and. education that is limited and. so it seems to be. one of my kind of being and it's one. it's considered. just general right actually the u.s.
8:35 am
doesn't accept. universal declaration. i'm supposed to reject 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. doesn't just dismisses the cultural community. rejects you know. ringback 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 cited 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 and that's about what it costs and some ill fairly nice hotels outside of
8:36 am
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 fact it just becomes a cycle. 30 here here. i am right trish the subway. is the best. you can get good. data showing. us.
8:37 am
i have no place to stay fit with things that work great on the cellphone or on the strip. there is no presence to ensure most of the world here makes it home. as well. as if you know. you can go to the city or county and get a map. shows all of us all over the you know county. and there's over 400 miles along along they go all the way down to the freeway and then they sit there ideas that are feeling goes away or tropicana somewhere. where they come out. here this is this is something the world. is very warm very rude you're sure you know the music you'll see the known this was
8:38 am
you're sure. i'm thinking. i'm tunnels in las vegas here's. the city. should. say. my name is guy and we were. around 10 years ago and strays and she was in the same situation and she didn't know what to do about them that. i disaster she would do. i say when's the best place. is the motel in brighton he left meet me go across st louis and meet him we came back he was gone so i was dreaming he walked by cosmo. just you behind the scenes you can read. now as 10 years ago. you know i haven't drank in over 30 years.
8:39 am
that we've had our moments we've had you know. how i make for 67 mr security and. just not enough to say. we do better in the summertime because he gets to. get to all. we get inside me and everything to really get. going go in the church stop dollars to shower. we'll fly aside just a few dollars and. against me in. the at all of years just. seeing him a girl. isn't. a rest in. knowing.
8:41 am
nuclear power and so become a battleground in the us in vermont people are demanding the shut down of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no claire power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy as powerline with. people demonstrates that struggle. seems wrong. to me. to shape our. become educated and it. equals betrayal.
8:42 am
8:43 am
you know i find myself today i know i don't look it but i found myself in a hole in the space 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 for 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 to have a chance. to when i 1st got out i was actually attacked by a guy from behind and then 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 a rock from a high and they actually caught that guy couple of days later to
8:44 am
a week i actually in the phone into a seizure due to that and my family was going to his spot was in the told to come back and check all for me because i was laying out here by the hour. it's known as a body of knowledge in in the year and it's it's more dangerous for women the world is more dangerous for women in that they do. they get lost in that 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 and 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 listen to enough so you know we made it a priority and by that we pushed through in it any beds available to them or to listen to a year ago there were hardly any beds available for them and it's an unsafe
8:45 am
place for women to be we. tell our daughters to not walk in the street a lot at night in a dark neighborhood that's the sort of imagine that you have nowhere to go. or know what i need when something. or were. were. in the us is being told in equality a good way to figure out which song to beat your on is with your company planes on h.b.o. to. me shit like bush workers calling for a much higher minimum wage workers at mcdonald's wendy's domino's pizza and more will want not the job getting. the look at the federal 'd minimum wage is one
8:46 am
create $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 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 the brace that but the problem is they never index to do anything so they just keep picking this number out of the year and those halves of congress fight over debate over it and go back and that didn't it 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 what we could tell that house the homeless. there's tremendous efforts to try and
8:47 am
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 you know we aus omes believes in us and the organization says 989 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 so this is 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 whole this group falls 'd into 22 factions those who can work and those who can't
8:48 am
work so we walk away with this way it's 77 dollars 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 live in washington d.c. or whether you live in a harley engine texas they're going to set it at 7 decor right now there's talk of raising it to $10.00 an hour well the day 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. 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
8:49 am
america is ruled they're trying to push a round. peg into a square hole 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 on existing government guidelines.
8:51 am
8:52 am
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 stay with family or stay with friends or stay in a hotel i mean. a lot of times by the time the families that walk through those
8:53 am
doors they've exhausted all of those resources. how are you getting so wet child. i mean yes so we have this huge playground there is. you know as a 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 are 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 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
8:54 am
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 you're just like all right well i'm going to keep doing it i'm going to join 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 down 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 say weak there is a word that surprisingly i got off it by myself. i didn't go to rehab or anything i just kind of kicked it i've been clean for 3 months. and we've been in. there are about 150 beds in this large storm area. for families who have small
8:55 am
children it will be like if it's a single mom and 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 it. lets not a lot of space as you can tell and it's tough for families. and 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 a lot of times face other barriers to getting housing whether it's on their
8:56 am
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. come. into was a very nice show from president. then i could have said no thank you or i could have said thank you and i said i'll take it and now it's time to introduce my
8:57 am
bachelor close to mr don't travel thank you susan very much for the. name whatever you want to name i mean i don't know how when i come that news that's dishonest tell when i call that a recorder or a network that's totally dishonest c.n.n. is says you know 100 percent negative i can reverse the change fast changes so fast sometimes i'll say that's going to be a great story be a pretty good report another as good as you. can do we'll see what happens who knows who knows what we'll see on the field it will be success. this fall class. american citizen need to be blocked off that's. an attack on the other. guy and i don't think. i would vote for
8:58 am
a republican or trump i would vote for anyone not you want and that's how it would break defeat. the feel good. second wife. she can handle it. she and i divorce because our trouble is elected president and i floated for her and she couldn't stand it. when the most important election. in our history list of the months to go before the next presidential election is the atmosphere in the us now i. want to the highest priority programs only brave and true they do next. just some of the questions we put to the american.
