10:30 am
it we're good for, so we're ready, slide 70000000000 or something like that. missing money are democracies falling apart and we're worried about small things and what you should be worried about, the bigger problems that are right in front of our faces. instead of turning a blind eye to love to you somewhere around 80000 people that are on house. here's the problem that be now house me coming different forms because there are some people that are leaving or cars. there are some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room, wherever they people are allowed, you know, friends, we allow them to come in and, and have a roof over their heads on a temporary basis. but then you also have people that live on the streets, sharing los angeles right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have a homeless out being done right now. the counting,
10:31 am
how many on house before leaving on the streets. so we don't have that the exact numbers yet, but it's going to be high. the numbers have increased from last year, even though that more is being done. or at least that's what being told to the point that the numbers chest last year alone. the amount of all homeless rose by 12 percent in california right is the rent is too damn high. the rent is too damn high. the rent is too damn time the the, the, the, the rent, the, the. 8 so we turned in over a $115000.00 signatures to get it initiative on the ballot to expand. right.
10:32 am
so that should be on the california ballot in november of 2024. and the apartment association is trying to its opposing this and trying to stop in trying to stop us . um, we also deliver it over $732000.00 signatures to the governor of california. governor newsome asking him not to oppose this measure. the transitional people. so what they're, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put an initiative on the valley, which basically says that a top case on the same, cannot put their own initiative on the ballot to expand rent controls or anything around housing. so they're hurting tenants, and also a charts cost clinics in $45.00 different countries across the world. and they're trying to strip into something non profit simply because they don't want to confirm the my name is
10:33 am
gina. i am a small mom landlord and i always have a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords of reason. you don't hear our side of the story. i had a very little money. i have a mortgage homeowners insurance and they wouldn't be and, and i couldn't even barely waste what last 4 years. i couldn't raise it $5.00, but yet i had taxes to pay. i had insurance to pay, i had maintenance to keep up. and i just paid them. wow, wow, sense of dollars to move out? it's not there. where is our side of the protection? should be mad at the government and to the government to pay their rent. why should i have to take care of? somebody take care of health care complaint at the grocery store complained that your medicine is due. why is it just the landlord?
10:34 am
555 lets me landlord. i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple units. they're worried as well because with that high, when school with corporate driving the, the rates up 6 are to keep up with it. so it's affecting them as well. but the fact of the matter is that the ones that are controlling and pushing pull the high range are the corporate landlord. unfortunately, the fix, the small businesses, the affect, the small landlords. so we're to let them know that, you know, if we bring rent controlled to california, it's a positive thing moving forward because they're going to be able to not being terminated by corporate landlords. don't want to take their properties as well. the housing rates are going to keep going up, like if you go to a gas station and buy budweiser and the price goes up a dollar every day, just because, like somebody steals too much budweiser from that store. you know,
10:35 am
that's just the way that it goes, you know, and originally they raise a price up of things and places where it goes missing all the time to cover it. that's probably why the rent is getting so high because half the people who live there never pay the rent. somehow. somehow. i feel like criminals run the city. i really do. my name's walking by the golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be 52 in april and been homeless off and on since 2006 and where do you live? right here in this truck? so why is it so weight? oh, well, there really isn't a way to get to on top of things. what the economy just deteriorating is it, is there is not a way for the way just to catch up up to what the prices are for of for ranch,
10:36 am
a person this kind of get to and maybe you have a studio apartment here in this area is going to be at least $1500.00 a month and even with some help 1st for move in. and it's, it's a little bit, uh, it's a little, there's a little bit more to it than just uh, you know, making a decision. uh because the economy is it fits in the gates a lot of people's efforts the i mean yeah, don't get me wrong. i don't look like i'm alone. serious. and i got this know, tell me one jacket on the through the disease, a 180 a little like a year. and i just want doesn't look like i need to be honest, honestly know what cost of living out this month for subtract them. uh, yeah, no matter if your worker 40 are a job or a week job, you know me. if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these histories
10:37 am
that down. so we, i've been out here in california and hollywood for probably about 10 years, about 10 years, and i have yet to get in and i've been on the list to get housing for like 3 years . i've got a crew, i've got a criminal background. and then i've got a very expensive criminal background look at 19 fillings. i'm gonna record it. i'm not trying to, i mean, nice for you. there's not i can't get any decent paying job. so i'm just trying to get, i'm trying to get funded, get a job with metro. right. and i was doing the investment or thing that they got going around. i can't get my foot in the door for this shit, the same life is premier grove, we don't, we don't hear from you. really now do you mind? do you mind me? i might be around, you know, like a bigger one like says, i think he's making a wireless but he said he was at the
10:38 am
the girl. what do you do full leaving? oh, do. i'm going to go to school. i go to long beach city college for this study. i'm going for film and the screen writing. i'm trying to get a degree and screen writing and uh, the one to develop my own, my own screen place for production. i have good work, a wondering award for my spring play in 22 for one screen play that i wrote in 2021 from penn america. and i'm trying to do something with the skills and talents that i have for screen writing. thank you. hi, my name is mailed to the correct number, cool phone, executive director of the shower of whole and like the name says, we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless those same in los
10:39 am
angeles. and what we do is we take things mobile show us like you'll see over here the various different locations. we have approximately 50 sites in los angeles. we pocket in locations where it's close to folks like experiencing homeless us. and we offer them showers even for what the city like los angeles, that's very little public infrastructure. when he comes for you to use a public chavo lelona that through so fall off the full. so sleep on our streets. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which coffee shop to let them just like use the bathroom. but when he comes to show us a lot of our guess, different one for us only have access to shot was maybe once a month for a lot of folks. it's going into a bathroom at a place like a coffee shop and taking a but bad out of a sink. so that's why it's so critical and, and that's so much the man for our services now does it to, oh, that's good,
10:40 am
that's always good. again. i got a hunch, sounds they have fox, our 2nd. yeah. yeah. it's always good to get a hot challenge homeless that my god to apply for a shower to you? yes, i did get a bridge. so the differences, economic differences between groups, race groups, particular are huge. and these starts on the very beginning, their lack of, uh, being able to have a good education. let's talk about, let's say for example, put in security is, is lack of access to healthy, put, lack of access to food. and a lot of our communities of color don't have access to healthy food. they just don't. so you see those, this bear with me right? there that any quality whereas you go to well do, neighborhood, or neighborhoods of, of, of white folks. you'll see that they are,
10:41 am
they have better jobs, better paying their more resources. so yes, a racism a place that very important part on the economic status. whether you're going to end up homeless on the street or not, this is known as the mcarthur park union district of los angeles, this one, the most underserved communities in los angeles. i love the immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english, we have tears, you could see a lot of seniors and we have people that struggle to put, put in the table and people have very little resources. most of them actually one for, for several blocks here to, to come to the band 3. and a lot of them are very fragile, they elderly. so this is a 9 o'clock we, what we have done is we set up an appointment system. so people can actually sign up and, and have an appointment instead of them being in line for hours. what's happening
10:42 am
is that before prior to we having an appointment system, people used to be here at 12 midnight. i literally spend the night here waiting for us to open. so we decided to do an appointment system. today we're going to be providing groceries for $400.00 people. these are fresh vegetables that would pick yesterday, so you're not gonna make buying any, any fresh or products done here. and they do serve with the people who serve it. and i'd say we're very excited about being able to, to serve the community. what we do here is we set it up like farmers market style. so people are able to come here and actually pick what they like to to take instead of giving you a bag of food the most likely you're not going to like we allowed them to make several choices here. i'm take food that they love to cook, high acceptance and i'm going to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. whitelisted opinions that
10:43 am
he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do have the state department c i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you the by the middle of the 20th century, the portuguese colonial empire was in an acute crisis, particularly late 10 situation had developed in mozambique the people of this country were put in a humiliating position, income inequality ramp, and illiteracy. this respect by the portuguese for the local traditions led to a mass unrest. getting 1964, the liberation front of mozambie for
10:44 am
a limo began its armed struggle for freedom. the regular army was not easy to resist, but the guerrillas inflicted considerable damage on the invaders through the fighters against the colonial regime were supported by the soviet union and china. whereas the united states and great britain took the side of the invaders, the board to gaze responded to the guerrillas attacks with cruel counter insurgency . however, pre limos 10 year courageous struggle was a success after the overthrow of the fascist regime in portugal in 1974, the new authorities are rendered. a year later, lisbon fully recognized the independence of mozambie. but the victory had been gained at a high price during the war, mozambique had lost tens of thousands of his sons and daughters. the homeless.
10:45 am
his home is a we're, i have a problem is only about $0.50 a month. right, where i'm enjoy old a 6262. you've been homeless for a while. continue for many years. see 10 years. so i'm just to. all right, so i have post c as in prayer head finch deal. where am i right here to help with only getting some really low version you the, the gap continues to grow. you know, we saw back in the eighty's and ninety's the early, the early part of the century here, where we saw an attack against the middle class. there is the more middle class,
10:46 am
either you'll have what you don't have. so to say that you're in the middle classes of fantasy because he doesn't exist. we have people coming to our food banks to have jobs. and some of them have good jobs, but they can not make ends meet foreclosure. we're right now, we'll go through it. and i have one say the know how do i i just leave my hands on the? no, no, no. i'm sorry, no, i'm not. i'm not here. but you're not in this
10:47 am

10:48 am
a doctor this morning. why did you come from effect? you work with interior design or the was it worth coming here? yeah, pard and i are able to see off the flight to afford a place here. not many people can do what to do. like if you are not able to afford your partner, like what to do in a city and you're looking at it. yeah, i mean possibly people could die on the beach. people get sick, they get diseases and mental illness
10:49 am
insecurity. the numbers are staggering. we have approximately 10000000 people in california that are risk of becoming on house. and part of the reason is because the rates are just very high. people struggle to make ends meet. some people are working to 3 jobs and still not enough because the cost of living also has increased further. thank $3500.00. the one bedroom. it was way across the street. the apartment. yeah, they just, they just billed and they just opened them up. and for one bedroom, the $13500.00, that's what we have to deal with. so the dentist takes everybody along here, the whole community and all the prices go up with they have people like that building these things up. but why then does it work to be, sir? if you're not able to afford the leaving the
10:50 am
right there to this people, they can't co habits, he can't get a long so they can't. well, the next coming up relation apparently can live with 10 people in a, an apartment in california. and people have to live with a lot of people. so there's a lot of problems familiar, sexual assault on the finger problems. so they said it's a, he's saying the same thing, but we showed him physical evidence of him doing that. i even have a text message from me and my roommate talking, speaking about how he threatened her life. i gave patch the text messages. i gave her why the to text messages already existing michelle, so you're thinking about this? well, that was the right thing. one that we were there for people die room,
10:51 am
so nearby. john is the same way we met them there. they're still there putting up with the bull since last week. um um and gave kelly, i think her name of the day or the give her um, what is the the, the non non okay. not seeing anything. have you guys seem to be fine and we, i want to see this about time after work for 6 people didn't already know they weren't in on. yeah. yeah. i know i really don't know and, and then people go up missing and they don't even try to sit in see nothing about it. you remember the model one with the rabbit she had with miss and then they was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or with the jail as you folks come back and nobody knew where she was in need of them line. they found her face and not too far from the shelter. so how you didn't they don't care about where about nothing. all the
10:52 am
program. i'm gonna have programs. all sorts of less is little bit like service today and that way. so let's say do 1520 percent of what your income is that by your rent, up in the 30 a month or is that stipulated as soon as i have time, i'm so tired of move out. most people in my apartment, i do a medicine, but they're more and more people become seamless though there's none of the co bags and then they'll by dividing, doesn't making better as the governor. so the level to lower the rent. we know that the numbers are high and there's a lot of money that comes in,
10:53 am
but the money is blown away and varies. we see very little come either with that. you know, so this been a lot of money. you mean government government? yes. there's been a lot of money and deliberate, very little rent has just really taken off the restrictions on how to rent have changed. they want you to have a deposit of, you know, same. we sometimes want you put 3 months down or prove you can pay 3 months when you, you know, these, these are things that a lot of people wouldn't qualify for with good jobs. so they made it so hard that a person with a pretty well paying job couldn't coming right here. and there was a time, i mean, it was a while ago, 253 years ago. you could be a starving artist here and, and have a pretty fun life. it wasn't. maybe you wouldn't have a big savings account, but you'd have a safe place to live. here's how food you would have
10:54 am
a car. but now people are choosing, and we're talking about people has 40 hour week jobs, are choosing to buy groceries or pay their rents. and we're talking single people. i can't imagine having a family what that would entail. so it wasn't always this unapproachable to live. here was actually quite the opposite for a long time. the hey guys, come to hollywood, get some of the money. this is 50 k and 1000000 looks like like, guys 1000000 a year. the sell a baby for me. oh,
10:55 am
you're looking for low read. our movies because people come out here for the dream says their dream. i would say i am rich for me. i'm. i'm, i'm on my way to be rich next year. i'm a buy a $1000000.00 house to me. and i'm, i'm working on manifest man. i met of as a limit of as of right now already body for me. i'll look at it. i visualize it. i know the address. i mean that's what it weighs about. i mean, when you see the houses, you'll see me and it is lend his house for me. welcome to welcome to hollywood. welcome to have a welcome to welcome to dreamland for james, come through the . i know honestly, it's probably hard to live over. it is hard, it's hard to drive down the street and see this, and i think people are either going to be propelled,
10:56 am
to have empathy and do something or possibly inches shut down. its hard, hard to go in every area, every neighborhood, everywhere and seeing and countless play not feel even just guilty. you know that you're walking into a supermarket and you can buy or food or you can do and you can live. you have a home, you know, the, there's no kindness in any city or say, in regards even in places that we deem liberal. you know, california is not very liberal about this. you know, they're not as compassionate as people think about the sense the subject looks good and then for the now i look good. thank you sir. but you people are always people good or for not like the room.
10:57 am
right? all depends on the day how it is going to look bad in kenner, across the world to attend. there isn't a dinner we're through so there is different factors that may affect our seniors. and most important is, is that the safety nets that existed, they being taken away. so it's very difficult. i know people that have retire with the kind of retirement checks that they're getting cannot keep up with a cost of rent. so now they living in their carts after working all their lights and, and yes, there are certain programs available that was subsidized for some of the housing.
10:58 am
but not everybody gets in. this is why people i sold these harden and they have no faith in the government because the government has stopped working for the people. the amount of people that are more discussed with politicians and politics and political parties has grown in huge numbers. people just don't trust what they say . they say a lot, but the labor very little or nothing. the . the old wanted to come here since i was 121. my grandfather told me that his mom came from russia that we were, i was part russian. i didn't plan on staying this long. i was gonna look around,
10:59 am
i was gonna see if it was for me, but then i came, and then i was like, i remember when i go home, i've never been happier in life than i am here in russell. the i've only lived here a few months, but i wanted to tell you what fascinates me about russia and share the stories of other foreigners who lived here. like jay who worked as a chef and now raises goats and makes cheese in the countryside series. like chad who has been granted political asylum because he's being persecuted by the f. b. i . us, embassies. and for countries that come after me it's, it's wild like an american family that recently moved to russia with 6 children. i've never felt safer atlanta higher life than living here. the
11:00 am
the size watching the defense systems today and crane grows. it trying to attract 3 regions overnight. here's encouraging read into the post. great. it is training with more than 5500 of this to killed in action. while in the assignment as it travels, it came with the hopes of finding a road map of the east. washington is unhappy with the multitude angel approach advisors in the regular body to pick upside re welcome. but by being helpful, we mean it's got to include conversations with the grades, and it's got to start from an understanding of where presidents awards is on the southern images on the southern russia, off the inmates of a jail in the voted in the region. and the tank costs are getting killed, won't present employees so full of his.
