$640.00. just to buy food. yes. for food. $560.00 euros a month to feed 5 people. a tight budget before going shopping. the 2 women check the balance on their card. 6238. so renea and jennifer can spend their food coupons in any supermarket like this discount store where they regularly go ah, once at the checkout, the food stamp card works just like any other credit cards. and in this shop, in the appalachian they are by no means the only ones who use it, how many people they would probably have it's a, it's a, it's a lot. yeah. yeah. thank you. donald trump is planning to

cut down on the amount of people who receive foodstamps. he risks making an already vulnerable society, even poor. ah, but i've run a cli here. they voted 80 percent in favor of him and their support for him continues to earn a little extra money. so any a does some household tasks for her neighbors, for a few dollars. she also cuts james's hair. who works in the mine. he is a loyal follower of donald trump. ah, i am a drug plan for what? because he done everything. he said, you know, trump is willing to help other countries, but his country comes worse. this i have been a long time. donald trump is a billionaire. donald trump keeps his family everywhere, he goat, his children, his wife are everywhere with you. a lot about a person, family,

family and that's why i work for my family. it's been life so many years, maybe 30 years, that there's not been jobs. now there is our unemployment rate is way down. really, really do right now is the higher theory at 0, right? if every person usa can have a job and that what they told us, if there is a job for every person with the numbers. so if people want work, they can find me. their unwavering support is somewhat difficult to understand because since there's election, the daily life of individuals in the appalachian has not improved poverty is ever present and has led to some strange occurrences. in this small town, in the middle of the night, dozens of cars enter a show ground. mm. all

right. all right. if you're on the phone out, ok. i suggest that you'd be back here about 3 or 4 boxes. well, it kind of drips. yeah. because it makes you think you line up like you go to a concert and get there to keep you keep your daughter stuff. actually these people are arriving by the hundreds quite simply to see a doctor. because every year here for a weekend, all you're going to get in this line is medical only a nonprofit organization arranges free consultations. oh, there is a huge name. a lot of their families in this area are working class families. there's struggling just to choose between paying for medicine that can save their life or groceries for the week. so it's, it's a shame to have to, to do it this way. but you got to take care. you people in these are our people,

and this is why we take care of our people. even though the health care system improved with morocco, obama, 28000000 americans still do not have any health insurance. medical services for surrender also does not want to miss the event. she spent 2 hours on the bus to come and camp here. but during the night, a heavy thunderstorm broke out. good morning. we've had an adventure. we had a flood, literally flood. it came really dark over and next thing you know, we've got a gully washer down to here. it's nuts and everything in there is soaked blankets, everything, and no sleep last night, sir. any a has arrived with all her family. her niece jennifer and her 3 children, they all need to see the dentist. but medical fees in the united states are the most expensive in the world beyond the budget for

a large section of the population. so staying up all night does not bother them. but you struggle to have medical. yeah. it's not easy. you know? but you have to do it. absolutely. alternative is. now this time has to me the family arrived the night before because here the rule is 1st come 1st served at 6 o'clock in the morning, the doors open when they announced the running order, 145127, my sound asleep when the guard was 28. so next time we'll call in groups of 20 again. all right. once inside these patients discover a full scale field hospital. seen that resembles more that of a humanitarian disaster. and yet it's really just modern day america. here people

are treated in turn by a horde of volunteers, nurses, family doctors, but also specialists who are able to care for more complicated illnesses. already. the most remarkable part takes place in this sports hall, transformed into a gigantic dentist office. all day long, 60 dentist, d scale, drill, fill and remove teeth by the dozen. a daunting site for some the arriving upon the scene, sarabia is overcome with emotion. your van? yeah. the beautiful. all the people volunteering. so many people getting help that need for my sister passed away, she had all her teeth taken out and she didn't have any teeth to replace. and she

was younger than i am now. and she was my older sister. so i think about what she went through health issues, the cause of her teeth. and they're important in turns, the emily are going to be examined. jayden, the youngest feels a little uneasy. i want you to even if it's when you come home from school, gotta get 2 times and you can get 3. that's really good. okay. in a situation like this, prevention is the main goal of these dentists all has gone well for jaden. he's eligible for a simple routine checkup, but for sarabia, the medical care that lies ahead is trickier. she's already missing 5 moles and is worried that they'll remove the $61.00 that is extremely damaged. after 3 hours of waiting, it's her turn to go up. great. now are you ready? ready or not?

i think oh my god, a young student about to complete his university degree is going to take care of her before treating sarabia. he's already had time to familiarize himself with a job. he spent his morning extracting keep doing strikes today. i've tried cuz i was right about 15 to myself. yeah. so yeah, pretty good. yeah. pretty good. yeah. he will spend 15 minutes removing sir any as to his 16th of the day. do you feel like i have a vague now but here there's no time to take a breather. sarabia is escorted to the gym locker rooms for the next stage. gotta, i gotta make sure everything

a dental decent studio which like the rest is led by volunteers and funded by donations. let's write that note. lane was relaxed in this room. they take the dental impression and in the room next door, a new set of teeth is created in less than 2 hours, sir. any as new. smile is ready. here we go. how's i feel? awkward. okay. yeah. the my god and the i want to big now

hear me know that i can feel that when i want to put new content, if the family had paid for all this treatment, they would have had to spend over $3000.00 in the united states. there are still some american citizens that are personally taking action to give aid to the poor me at the other end of the country, a man has embarked upon a mission against poverty which has plagued the sidewalks of his city

a legendary city that is seldom associated with poverty ah, this, this is los angeles, los angeles, and hollywood. 38 year old punk elvis is curious with what los angeles has become in recent years. not a 3rd world country for the richest countries in the world. it's almost like a movie problem. they don't, it's hard to fathom that like every single day, this is how people live. i lose

lose. we're segregated all along my social class. most people though, also covered by 1st. if you're born in to a 4 family, you're born into a minority family. if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your lives, chances people die on average. 15 years old, you born into generational poverty is a, it's a fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. me the price of the staff are going up and people are mentioning this that the price is for energy, food,

transportation are going up at a alarming rate. and the government is telling us that don't believe your eyes, that that's some places and people are starting to question whether or not the governments might or might not be out of their money. the ah me the

the los angeles is the symbol of the california dream, the heart of hollywood cinema and the temple of luxury. and yet today los angeles is the homeless capital of america. in the last few years, the number of homeless people has increased from 33255000 beneath the business towers. the situation has become tragic. when i was a kid and lived here, it was nothing like it is now. i left for almost 2 decades, and i came back a few years ago and it just, it just blows my mind. it's just going to increase because every month, the cost of everything keeps going up. there's no regulation. so apartment owners

and landlords can raise the money, you know, the rent whenever they like, but nobody's paychecks are getting bigger. me outraged by the situation of these homeless people. eldest, gave up his job as a sales assistant. he lives on the salary of his partner layer, who works at the university. in this way, eldest can devote all his time to helping the homeless ah, all. a little further from downtown, a woman has moved in beneath this bridge, elvis, and leah regularly pay her a visit. ah, if i knew tammy has been living here for 5 years in a small tent that she shares with another woman inside. they are at the mercy of the dangers of the street. they've already been assaulted several times. just got

everywhere they did. they just tore right open. and now now she doesn't even have a door. when she sleeps out here at night, there's also no light. right over here, very dark. and you know, the woman, every dance carrie, even if a guy the very because anybody walk up in the dark one right and do whatever they want to help these people eldest wants to do more than just bring them bottles of water. his major project is hiding in the courtyard of his church. he came up with the idea to build small wooden houses for them. they're not big, barely for square meters, but inside elvis and layer have thought of every last thing to improve the daily lives of these homeless people. oh, oh. oh. oh, we do. yes. so what does it mean?

so if someone tries to open the window, the alarm will go off. this right here allows people to sleep. when people sleep, they can think they can do better. they feel better, they want better. the house is also equipped with a fire alarm, a light and a phone charger, all of which is powered by a solar panel. i get your eldest thinks of everything to the last detail in. they're obviously not going to be read recognized by the post office or, you know, or something like that. but it's, it's really just psychological in my apartment has an address. i'm sure your, your place has an address that that's the ultimate goal. most of the people, anyone that's homeless is treated like garbage. you know, once, once you have that title, you're, you're screwed. as people look at you like a monster or, you know, like, someone bad or you chose to be there, or you're crazy or, you know, and it's most of the time,

it's not the case. and so the, the little, i mean it's so easy to dehumanize people, but the little tiny things, it's so easy to bring that back to a person. each cabin costs 1000 euros financed entirely by donations collected on the internet. but his generous initiative is illegal. the mayor of los angeles has banned him from installing his cabins on the sidewalks of the city. elvis doesn't care. ah, and this morning he's going to deliver one of them to a homeless couple who very much need hey, i'm l this i am chris. nice to meet you today are brownie. i'm brownie crystal is 32 years old and is 3 months pregnant. she lives on the curb of this sidewalk with her partner andre. bye. all right. man. i was hoping you are going to be

gone. i'm the mother. that's the mother to be for 4 years now, the couple have been sleeping in this tiny wheeled cart that is swarming with bugs . yeah, man of like bad bug. eat me, leave me alone. i mean i could get everything only a little bit more. we're mostly not being able to how good, how do elvis does not feel like hanging around to the trick is to get this, get this done. and off before the cops show up, but all the same, the sme warehouse weighs 400 kilograms, and the wheels remain stuck on the street to ship . all we gotta do is a neighbor. and another homeless person from the neighborhood come to lend him a helping hand

home. starting to bring him back out, man. and as soon as the home is set up, other homeless people are begging him for a small how me back. i have, i have a couple more, almost ready to go. so thank you. thank you. much appreciate it. i'm going to give, i have no way of an engine, but his project does not quite make everyone happy. once you go back in your house and enjoy the air conditioning, a neighbor has come to express her discontent. she's against what she. she doesn't want in front of her house. he's calling the police. and so we need to hurry alarm. and we'll pray that they are allowed to keep their house. this is how goes in los angeles. yeah, i think both of you, congratulations. a few days after filming the police threatened elvis that they

would destroy his cabin if he didn't remove it. he decided to move it with the couple on to privately owned land. in the end, the disgruntled neighbour won her case. but some people are trying to fight the snubbing of the homeless people in fascinating ways. in we are heading to texas to puritan waco. ah, the city has around 50 church is for it's 120000 residents here. once a month, a religious community organizes a strange program. people come from all over the united states to take part in it. now, i do know what happened for you. no, no, no idea a little bit. what, what do you know?

we're going to be paying for 24 hours. these high school students are going to live, eat and sleep like the homeless, much like 20 or so other participants are holes from middle class backgrounds. each person has paid 60 euros to take part in this project. well, the janet director came up with the idea 25 years ago. the wife of a minister. she's already accepted 30000 people to take part in this astonishing role play challenge of goal is to create compassionate care for humanity and poverty. everybody can get the american dream. when you are trapped in poverty cycles of poverty, you have to get you out. according to janet, in order to truly experience a life of a homeless person, you have to start by looking like them. in this 2nd hand close door,

the participants are encouraged to dress like them. i don't know. i don't know what homeless people here. where are these people who yes. dr. genes and these little food. but i think that peter's office, my so happy about that. for the moment it's not to demanding, but it is going to get more complicated with the 2nd stage, sleeping out in the open. not in the streets but safely in this fence yard. however, 53 year old mother marta is slightly concerned like in the morning. like i'm scared scared, she thought long and hard before signing up to the program. it was her husband who

convinced her to take the plunge. it doesn't look like a real situation, right? right? yes, yes. it doesn't smell like it doesn't smell like you're in rapp running everywhere. yeah, no, definitely luxury homeless. yeah. yeah. a fact that is a comfort nevertheless, and it won't be a very long night. ready at 6 o'clock in the morning, janet darell gives everyone a wake up call and they don't look particularly well rested. my martha, it's not a real situation in their faith. they're safer than being on the street, but this is not as safe as being in the home with their family. so it just give them a little bit more reality of what living in the environment does on your body. so by tonight takes about 24 hours to really start getting the idea that this,

this could be really rough. for the next stage of the program, the participants are let loose in the city center. their task is to find something to eat on their own and without any money i smell the food. so i asked, the guy cannot big in waco like in many other cities in the united states begging is a punishable offense. it's also forbidden to rummage through the garbage cans, but there's no fruit in there. they are owned by the city and reclaiming anything at all is considered stealing in order to survive. the homeless in waco are therefore forced to break the law. or 2 participants are not going to find anything

to eat. and after 2 hours of walking through the streets and 40 degree heat, marta feels fake. the she must resort to calling her husband to the rescue. ah, i feel like i feel like i'm too weak. well, like i'm like, i'm too old and in fact i can't do it. you learn something about what it would like . what would be like to be homeless at your age? be hard or americans truly ready to face up to poverty. perhaps not their leader. donald trump has recently announced that the rate of poverty is falling dramatically despite this 40000000 of his fellow citizens are still suffering in its clutches. ah

ah, the an entire village in alaska has had to move. if another country threaten to wipe out in america. we do everything in our part a project in what and a escaping climate change poses the same threat. right now alaska has seen some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world. we lost about 3535 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring it is bad and that means the river is $35.00 pounds. then learning was year before, i think we're a part of america. the 3rd from or america was

joined me every thursday on the alex summon, show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the imposing sanctions. any country used to be a policy of last resort, that is not the case to day. now, washington sanction scores of countries and even threatening sanctions again, suppose the sanctions work? no, not really. also, we have an update on bill i called my local bank and obviously wanted johnny douglas me because you

guys are going to the the or up in the kitchen table out tomorrow. i think i might still put it on the show that the lady told me the brittany lackey. then this is the young lady by little by now by and then because you guys are not on the

continental divide. a bombshell report revealed denmark spied on germany's on merkel as well as on other leaders for us intelligence candidate image as a beacon of human rights and shattered as the remains of more than $200.00 children are discovered near a former school for indigenous students, highlighting a cultural genocide, the continued until the 990 and israel's long standing prime minister benjamin netanyahu may finally be on his way out after the opposition claimed it has enough poetry votes to drive him from office. ah.
