8:31 am
for, i don't know, $400.00 people that have all the more income than all of us together. you lose a physical is becoming smaller or is growing all it's growing. i don't know, they only want a handful of people controlling everything they want to keep people under their under this, under your son's control people's, that's a way of controlling people, you know, power and money. everyone should have had these housing food, you know, healthcare, education close, you know, stuff, you know, things like that. yeah. and a little extra so you can maybe go to the movies or go out to dinner or something on a little vacation. you know, he's doing the, did the whole dance with the yeah,
8:32 am
i'm 77 and i don't get enough barely enough income, but i have a affordable housing. it's called affordable housing, but they keep facing the rants, but they don't work that they don't keep, they don't raise my income to match, you know what i mean? my social security retirement. so do come here to make some extra money. yeah. supplemental you know what i mean? the very last job i have was security, but i've done many things i've. i've been an optician, i've done security. i've been a secretary, i been a forklift operator. i've sent them different things and you were working all your life. right. well, you know from at least 17 on us. yeah, i've been, i've been waiting for housing for awhile. like around 17 years. and um, how come home, personal care? and uh, salvation army that goes together and they got me a room for
8:33 am
a year. so you know, which is pretty good because, you know, now i don't have to travel a lot too much. and sales like fi, cushy i had a, i had major surgery on my legs. come on this thing, but i also have a disease and my legs for my blood cells and i must have switched. and my skin has a hard time sticking to my legs. so they took these on there to hold it back. but this is the big one right here. because you don't want to kill them so many times. so it's funny around here, this, in other words, you know, that really is like, i don't know, that's what a lot of slot most people are homeless then then the houses. oh yeah, nothing co sign you up telephone's. where are you from new york one year? you know, and so you can see it for worth fucking facts cuz my girls tend to take the little overdose all set overdose and have to come back to the greyhound. so you don't pay, you know, a lot of people die enough enough and don't even know what the fuck is. it's all
8:34 am
just crazy. a lot of my friends home boys and girls that are there for an officer. and our job is, as well as we can handle it, the new systems we can handle, you know, they're not trying to find it. and if you want to be realistic, realistic about the problem regarding it or the problem really lot. and that's where the drugs, the drugs is where the problems wise and legalizing is that like i said, nothing better than me and other drugs to a misdemeanor. what good did that do is get yourself to be able to do more drugs easier because the fear before it was a fear of a felony going to jail, do it for, is it time or whatever the case may be. now, is just a ticket. that's it. you catch him sitting on the side of the street endangering
8:35 am
children's was by smoking his crap out in the open. and you give them a ticket and you walk away what. how is that changing anything he just goes, gets more and just does it again. it's like we don't care or respect the human of the human race. but when we may make laws and decide it all, they're only a misdemeanor. now it's no big deal. it is a big deal. sorry to hear you say you're from london. yes. rhetoric just outside of london. yeah. and what's the name of it? it's yeah ma'am. nice to meet with. and what do you think about that today? says here and what's the weather? so definitely notice there's a huge difference between the rich and the full on new existing. i didn't exist it to the level of did i know it's very high. i'm experiencing it 1st time. this is, you know, it's quite troubling. i've heard so i've heard of skid row. i don't know much
8:36 am
about it that i've heard so many people say they're going to bring it into a good role and help the people there. that's been there since the 1960. we're in 2014 or, i mean, we run around other countries. like is your country, do you need some help? do you'd still grow? and they'll help you. and they'll give you what's your money and do a bunch of stuff, help your people get better. and then we look into and then you guys come over here, is water torture? everything. oh, perfect. and the coast may be going so much of that. so while i've seen it all over the past 20 on 29, now the obviously grew up watching american television. all of that stuff in what we see on the screen here is like, oh sorry, from that is more like a perfect image of everything. when we start going in depth and searching stuff up and seeing what was that, so you got, i don't completely different story. i guess what's really interesting is people here much more neglected then. and i'll just see i've been every single state
8:37 am
who i speak to some years in over the last 50 some years. what was what used to be a partial problem of families here and there. now it is because it's such a big problem. ringback so we're kind of the, uh, you know, the heart of skid row, we're on 5th then. well, so on the north side, that's a mission. they have room for our own $600.00 b, both party to families. you know, you don't see it, but there are a lot of children on skid row. they try to keep them inside. now we have multiple themes from homeless held guard to the community health project doing valuable work, going around distributing narcanon fentanyl district because that is a significant number of overdose. those that happen daily, you know,
8:38 am
schedule like a lot of people, you know, don't understand what actually skid row is 54 blocks quote. and the funny thing is right, the middle of skid row is a police station. and one time when i was there, i saw 2 dudes arguing amongst each other. one shoots the dude over the dog and walks the way and the bodies laid out there until 10 o'clock the next day. why? i don't know, and there's a police station right across the street. and this was, that was right in front of the midnight shelter. after i saw that i, i just left, i decided not to be down there. so there are a lot of people who are struggling with mental health issues on the schedule. a part of that is because, um, you know, homelessness by itself is so much trauma on people site keep that, you know, regular people just being on the street ended up with a mental illness. but then also because we have such a fractured health care system in the us and
8:39 am
a big part of it is having really no support for people with mental illness. so the way the hospital system works, after the initial days, the state doesn't pay for the care of patients. so what the hospitals do is they medicaid them and they dropped them off on skid row. that was a hospital vegas that was caught dumping 1500 patients with the 500 on skid row. 500 in sacramento, and 500 in ad tucson, arizona. most of the time what i'm out here, i'm not even flying for money for itself. mostly just out here, just people watching like watching a television. oh is full of good, interesting television because there's a bunch of weirdos in these in her folder, in words, it almost looks like watching zombies from the movies. like it's gonna pop up in there. i don't know, but now,
8:40 am
but the on the real to button that's it's fat. no, it attacks the muscles were the it basically start to end up with water. it also attacks the strength and in their body where they can keep state a straight body up. so they're basically folded in half, have a slip right now. real sleep in a bed laying down with a shower or anything like that for over over 8 days. past employee of delirium. i'm now as a point of just totals exhausting and frustration of i can't get a hold of my family holidays 4 years old and i look like them probably 60 because of what streets of done this is i it's tiring. oh, so tired. i tried to go to the hospital because i got these stories for my hands from the shit they're putting in the, in the, in the medicine and the drugs is that,
8:41 am
you know, i don't, i don't use anything needles or anything like that. i don't understand what's going on with is, you know, it's, and it's only select people there. they're destroying me, little bits at a time where rather disturbing the military, i was with the marine corps specifically more so a little bit in libya, smaller. you have the people in small entry each other veterans and we treat each other right here on the street. sally, this is the most restaurant group of people i've ever met in my life. i wish that there was a button you can pushing it would exterminate all the verbs, all the bad people who hurt people what 0 get raped in the only way. and when i tried to get the guy offer, i was attacked by his homeboys. they broke for my ridge. ah,
8:42 am
they split my lip open. i mean like they supposed to me a pretty good excuse my language. the so sensor bear is there's children with the little. uh like a baby uh furnace kind of thing. is movie smoking, like smoking of it don't need to be afraid and cho yates. so i'm sad to see in your lives because this person, this person like says and now you're going to go and do that. just because you're frightening. you want acceptance. recognize siege hurts, low understood is all the really everybody wants. sure. sometimes some people go by a weird way of trying to get it. is that everybody isn't as intuitive or
8:43 am
intelligence that everyone has all the skills and all the gifts. and the ones that don't, we need to be loving and patient and understanding instead of painting them for what they're doing. actually notice and then maybe it might be a different story. this kind of cute, being short stubby like sometimes you don't even know where you're going to sleep, watch it. you know, you to walk into a town, you don't know where despite is, don't know where you could pop it up to be safe. still not to serve his place, it was world, it's made of cloth and easy, nice could cut through it, but what they don't know is i don't how to my girl. she's the ones that type of word that because i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm not violent. i don't like being, i don't like violence, but this was the question, is she?
8:44 am
she has a couple of what they call uh she calls me 3 kirby don sticks. where she's not afraid to come out of the 10 fashion. most of you know, i would do that because i just don't like violets at all. it's my home. it's where i live every single night. the, [000:00:00;00] the, it's almost uh, almost a cliche in the west, but this whole idea reply to the last few frames and there's some truth behind it.
8:45 am
i mean, think about it for the american $60000000000.00 for the reason. a package, not a lot of money. a lot of money stays within the united states in terms of the defense contracts and the like and pulled out money that, you know, they buy time, they prolonged the war to keep russia busy. you know, this is the, ultimately, that's what the west is doing is all about you know, trying to preserve west to take him and the as western leaders recklessly talk of escalating the conflict. a new frame. european voters isn't the exact opposite message pro war and meets are clearly out of step with voters and they've been punished for
8:46 am
the maybe we could do a legal interview with, oh my god, let's say the here. tampa. right? so you do leave here and grateful for me. look here, see me in the right places like this only exist. can you imagine what you will be at the place like this? well, you know, this is some of the attendance and the struggle that people go through trying to keep up with the rents. you know, it's a real struggle and he gets very real. especially when you have family children, you know, can you imagine, you know, what are you going fuel canada for your ran and you have children. i mean,
8:47 am
my heart goes out to moms like her that, that i see her daughter. she's going to school down the street and i need some beautiful sight to see that. and, and we have, uh, we have my or her as a mom. and we also admire the little child that is smart, right, beautiful, biggest smile. so she brings a big smile to our own faces. you know, i just put them doing well, but we're not affordable housing. you know, many people be literally, as you say, living on the streets. i mean, when, when age of, uh bought this building, there were some people that were living here. so some of the range kind of just that would be more affordable. but uh, they have certain amount of units that are exclusively for people that don't have homes. so we work with them and place them. if we have any openings, you know, you may go to whoever it may be applying, but applications come really fast and,
8:48 am
and the fills out fast. we have other buildings that we just bought. and as soon as they fix them, you fills out really quickly because, i mean, the people are waiting for housing for a long time. you know, we have shown this the city that, that we can actually provide housing a much cheaper than what the, the city is doing. the city spends a lot of money and deliver very fuel apartment units. some of the units can start as low as a $100.00 compared to other places with the amount for the 2. what we offer here, do you say close to $2000.00 for a studio unit with the bathroom and the kitchen area? so pretty much less than half a month. the other thing less because martha was gonna lose her subsidized income
8:49 am
through the program. she was in and she wouldn't have been able to afford the rent, but they were gonna put her in another one of our buildings. and she loved it here so much. we ended up just trying to advocate for her when she was able to stay and then we lowered her, her rent down some of them so she could stay where to go. yeah. can you go in any city or state? they have cranes there just over building. i mean, some of those buildings are left to empty and we have, we have enough here of empty buildings that we could put all the people who were on our streets and, but that's why there's always todd says, cities having attacks for having empty spaces. so then they would be more incentivized to, to accept section 8 or take a family in or not look for their ideal candidate. but real estate, i think,
8:50 am
is just become this huge way to invest. and they're not thinking about housing, people anymore. and i think that's all over the united states. they used to be the, you know, you would get a, have a family and you'd be able to get a house and, and we would just be this progressive thing. i don't think that's happening for most anymore. the wailing season. yeah, i use my own eggs. i love the sea, so my dream is to one day have a place of my own with my husband and be either running around coram, or working at one right in the courtroom. yeah. and studying the see like, you know,
8:51 am
c creatures and taking care of um i love to see as much as i love dogs. which creatures will be the 1st animals in your inquiry and they're on their dolphins. and any day they have a spot for the crabs. and the clams and the, the oysters, you know, just beat those. you actually can raise them. and they can give you pearls, clams, and oysters. they can give you pearls. if you have enough sand at the bottom, the, [000:00:00;00] the, i'm much more happy with that. because then i don't get to, to worry about,
8:52 am
i got zeros dressers, how about you? you as a human being, how many suppressors do you have? i don't have a list for me as me. i got no, i'm happy exactly where it needs to be free from all the lies that everybody cast around likes, parity and then decide you know, one week because you're not so dark, you're ok, or more. we do a little more dress nicer. you're all right. judge back to the bowl, how people should look dressed at it, all those aspects. it's going for different forms of races, like my daddy always say, keep it simple, stupid. i have one son was or that's totally different story. is that one? i don't know the,
8:53 am
another thing to add with homelessness in california and one of the things and again across the board in the us as well. one of the biggest reasons we have this issue is we have a really broken foster care system up to 70 percent of children exiting the foster care system in the us become homeless at some point in their life. when they exit after they turn 21, they basically have very little access to services. but unfortunately, because of foster care system is so broken. and because these kids are going through so much trauma, by the time they hit our streets desktop for him, for mental illness, they might be suffering from a diction how they might be. they might be putting situations where a pushes them into into incarceration, which i'll do monthly means that they end up homeless late aim like your income match, the cost of living back in my time,
8:54 am
but it doesn't match anymore. in fact i who we get in certain scandinavian countries, they have a cap on there. the minimum that you can get, which is like, i say, a $22.00 to $25000.00 a year. but in, in america there's no cap on how much you can make or how little you can get, because you can get nothing or the sky's the limit. they're talking about slash and social security and slash and different things. i don't know why. we don't get enough as it is, you know what i'm saying. you were all your life and then you want to retire. but you can't really retire because uh, i might end up homeless eventually if, if there was, if the rent keeps going up, then you know, i may eventually get homeless my own so which i worry about, you know, we, so richter, profit from all this corporations during the pandemic. i'm leaving now. rick of profits. we have more billing. there is now the neighbor before i get,
8:55 am
we have more people living in poverty and extreme poverty than ever before. corporations control and these no secret billing there's control, you know, bonded fixing america. so when that happens is every policy that comes out, the 1st thing that is going to be thought about is not the, the, the working class or the people is how is going to affect feeling next. during the, by the not in put in us. it gives each other, you know, the republic and saves that democrats. are the enemy, the democrat said the republicans, are the enemy at the end of the day. the real enemy is the people that are seeing power, you know, and we have a whole bunch of followers that don't see how they have sold us out. it would be a good starter one. so it's not that bad, but it's too small. it would be a good start or would you rather see
8:56 am
a car by vehicle? yes. rather than. yeah. and i'd have to learn how to drive. well you have to learn for the great. yeah. i don't have my license yet. i've never driven a car in my life. so that's why. so it's also called sprain doing which is spare change to words, put together. you basically make a sign. you fly walking down either a median or you sit on a street corner and hope to make money. which way of like the most successful day? i made a 100 bucks on this corner. yeah, i do feel like there's a villain. evasion of people who are in house and their neighbors are
8:57 am
instead of helping them, they are looking at them as a problem in very dehumanizing way. and i think if they would just embrace them as their neighbors, because they are their neighbors and share and be generous. i think the world's and all this circumstance with he'll have to leave it outside for a while like um, bein underneath the bridge and hearing the car. it's susan. you can waste a lot of energy and time thinking about negative things and not being pause while you're sitting there ratio. a lot of time being negative about it, you're missing out in the opportunities that should be there for you while it's happening. like i said, we're worst critics, we'll beat ourselves up,
8:58 am
make things harder than what it should be. it's not that it's not that hard to my name. i'm sorry. we're good. oh, pressure for the hey mom, it's me. i want you to get get detail out of here before i end up having to hurt myself or hurt somebody else or get hurt myself. really bad. who's coming to that? i got an attacked inside of the target last night. i just got attacked and you had my bike showing it's all by the same people using them crazy.
8:59 am
9:00 am
the, [000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the, the defense system shouldn't dining training drones and try to attack 3 regions overnight. kids in good shouldn't be into the cause we do is put any more than 5500 of his troops killed in action quantity. this problem is a problem to, to find the a route and my foot piece in washington is i'm happy with the multi regional approach and by the lady took the think us side we welcome split by being
