a if you're afraid of heights and might be a little challenging, but all cell phone, cell phone for me. so i've built this stair case and 7 days for the just to get in the thing the, i want to make it into an off of bond where i have vertical aqua phonics coming down the walls. and then i want to grow bits in here that want to have a trough all way around. $471.00 foot circumference. yeah, it's going to be a big project like to go enough to provide for the community for the most part from you know, fruits and vegetables. and maybe you have livestock as far as chickens. i always want to keep costs. regard dogs,

easy to be coming down the wall right here. the like that and come back and drop down into the the trough. this trough of the like maybe 3 feet off and wall about 3 feet high. and just put a familial parent that wall right here to texas vega. i just use what i got here. usually i re opposed service but i'm kind of looking for something like that drugs. yeah. okay. well, i will say that i got something to do every day, and it's a good thing your life. stay busy because i've been through some crap in my life and i'm a processor and really, you know, i don't hold myself to my past. but if you say you don't think about it, you know,

believe me, i've done some pretty good things now. yeah, that's why i'm saying maybe even help me out cuz i'm telling you managed a weird bike. put those par shop in asheville. yeah. cuz just go the other way. just like that. yeah. rob martin, my last wife i shot my brother in law. like i said to bring in board. i just think god, today i doing telling. so yeah, this is much that they do more hours there. she divorce me, you know, and then, i mean, i could talk about it now, but it was a very difficult time. i. i remember that time and being in prison on top of that. i couldn't even talk when i go to my mouth. i my crack, which is and take i was broken, has a man, but at that day in there, i mean it was

a restaurant space there. i remember though to see it was only 5 years ago or so for me you yeah. about 5 years minus the 7 months and then 7 months that i left it for prison for 7 months. i'd rather talk about the future in like what i'm doing now. you know then and then all the problems they gotten here. but i mean, you know, you have to bring it up, i suppose, just to, you know, the, the whole story. you're doing one thing. yeah. yeah. it's not that big a deal though. i guess just seem like a lot when i was going through it though, you know, i've seen a lot of other people too, so i got compassion for people because i've been there kind of a lot of it on a lot of the homeless things and stuff like that now. so i know what i know what it's like to get down there. they've gone in and try and come back up. and i'm, i'm doing it. doing it slowly and how long you've been here. about 5

years, they picked me up about 6 months and after i'd been here, they picked me up right in my b mx bicycle down the side of the road was about 30 feet off the road. they stopped me for no light on my bike after sunset, and i had a warrant from san diego felony warrant for some stuff and, and that's why i came out here to try and trying get away from them because they're just, they were looking for things they were creating, creating problems where there was no problems. so they could profit off of it. okay, jim, you've already put select stuff in the sheet up. you have to people out here because of them there was to go when it came function in society and the other hand of here because they loved the place and there's no where else they'd rather be than here. but i'm one of those people. so i to leave and i did for a little while, and i,

i always remember that. and that's why i'm patient and tyler and with people. because the, so i'm not serving, i'm taking a spot somewhere. someone can live here who has, who can live anywhere else. so if i'm going to live here by my own choice, when i have the option to go to los angeles and do fine. and then i need to serve to make a student to earn my spot here several 100 people have passed through here, either on their way somewhere else or provide safe space to abuse women, to elderly people, to mentally ill, people, to addicts, to children. you know, if i have an extra trailer, i always i always making rooms out of it so that when people come near phase the state and they have one that

i was married to until executive for all this 25 years at that having extensive bank account tell me no, actually the game i did the whole purpose and my cousin asking on time, what was it like living in the white man's world and i went to the sales floor and i got i couldn't recall him. the culture of all to know that white man mentality of their just spectators. they're not participants in life, but they pay for adventures. college living, right. why are they to leave it every day? i was born again. christian, conservative house wise for predicts 16. i gave him 6 k, well, 5 kids. the baby came up to me and one son mostly and tough. risk them swear, i lost my mind.

it's no better place to be to the village and the some beautiful features and live free live. however you want to get along with everyone who had all the dogs. how did the dogs get along with the goat of these things, susan? one of them, this is just a horn dog. your name again is mike. uh, mark. so he is michael. mark friedenthal and marco paul. uh no. i know i get it as i was julie, and i guess in the sense that there are no authorities within the city. everyone is

their own citizen, including the animal who owns free. awesome. and there's no organization except for what comes out except for what emerges from everyone coming together, bring their own situation to it, and creating their own home and environment. and joining in when i 1st came there, most of the population here was snowbirds, you know, mom and pop. get to retirement age, the kids a wall left. so they sell the house and buy a big motor home and start traveling. and you could stay here for free. and so those were the people i met when i 1st came here. the people all started getting old. owning a motor home got is through getting more expensive in the economy. we started going down and are all those factors together, those that crowd of people died out. but now i, in the world today, there's

a lot of people that don't have a way to build a life that you'd want, you know, the, the, the position i was suggesting fell great. i was suggesting that we send americans

and the bridges on the drain and put on your bill is us on obama dani and hobby. now. now that's what it's done or when it's here, all the on use will tell you that it will save you from us so fast as you know the value of the city. so what i need to file a past closeness, most of our thoughts in this one is not as a guide you on a source or sit emotional around you. it may be, you know, a lot less radioactive and then something is active uranium, but still it's radioactive. and has toxins in the can killed the laptop. you want me to go and see. so ease of us here. again, let's see the echo seats. the boeing good. i don't know the museum old. i was suggesting we from a cell great. the bill college. what was

the range? i wonder? do you say i'm going to start remembering the whole so there we have a lot of refugees. we don't have any regrets for refugees because we got refugees right here. you know, you see all the, the blue tart homeless people in los angeles and, and the other cities. i'm sure this is better living the living and skid row los angeles. you know, that's gotta be so hope list silver. it's heavy. i think about this. people come in here, but they think about that. i see a bunch of hungry people feel and this is blessing right here for all that food. we

get him. we good try like you feel a lot of this whole thing really come and look every month but every month feel they make sure that we hit. we have food out here. you know, a lot of people are hungry there. don't have no money or anything. vices, you say, yeah, it's all good to love the community that helps the people out here. that's where i live, the most likely the, all, this is one big happy family. that's what i like. and even though you see people here with uh nothing, you know, some of them cardboard checks, you know, but a cardboard shack of real coffee. if you just been sleeping on the dirt, you know, and you get a few odd jobs and maybe you could find a run down broken down trailers to live it. and you know, you can pull your life together and that kind of way here. where if you're in the

city, is it never, ever, they can't sleep in your car and say, yeah, well, you know, those, those sites you run you off, but i'm not always nice because that's why we call this the last free place. because it is not because you can't live here in free it's because you can be here and nobody's going to persecute or prosecute you about it. you know, you're just laying down in the dirt here. people like to just come and ask if you're all right. but nobody's going to guard you off to jail for a 77 decades, your insurance. but uh so you know, here you can do the things you wanna do without having to have uh you didn't thrown in jail. have people take what you are now? i gotta talk reading choice sometimes, who is doing this brown over here. so yes,

thank goodness, in my kitchen area is in transition as is, everything's really in transition all this time. but uh, yeah, so it's all scrambling around right now. and when i get done with it, well i have a good job. what is it? i don't know. what could come with gas now? you were out for 2 days. yeah. i don't know. hardly ever run, i guess, but somehow within flushing away it is a james costing. so what we're apps, roger, i just talked to my beer because it's like i said, inflation oh, inflation is gone up. so i a last one year. i mean, it's been going up for like 4 or 5 years now. but the last year that's just really ticked is right in your wallet. you know, right in the money department, if you are fortunate enough to get money out here, some of us are and some of us aren't. everything has gone up and so much in price. and especially if you have to shop right here in town through, gosh, robbery is

a 1st degree you get food stamps once a month. i just, but i buy cheap new, very try to get my money is they asked as long as i possibly can. i mean, i got a couple more years, so i retired that's. that's the goal here in future retire. and then after that now got some things to do. 6 bucks. fixed for the new man it's up 7. said 17, obviously i just, i bought a new 7 bucks for going see here. this is the problem. i'm that for this. and in 2009 or 10 to the airbag issue, still gotta get

ready to get your money. oh wow. i worked steel for 25 years and whatnot. and then all a sudden it gave me as a, you know, um, literally disturb kind of. but as i have, you know, this year and then the body showed here for uh, you know, you got your option down the highs and lows and this kind of thing. and that is um, you know, considered to be a handicapped of sure. yeah. to where they, you know, show up on your hands on there. i mentioned that mine was, uh, yeah, a boy. i loved the torch feeding, i wish a welder too, but well, garage a pretty good welder, but in your torch department and feeding? no. why was that the top so you said you wouldn't be probably able to make it out there with the amount of money. oh hell no. but you have to have 2 or 3

people, you know, conglomerate, and together to, to have enough money to pay the rent depends your electric, just pay your sewer bill. and obviously, again, by your groceries, you know, as you know, it has a good combination of people where we're here, where we do do it in combinations of people. we help each other. sure. and has a good thing. over a year ago we started what we call the slabs, the soup kitchen, cuz every poor community in america and brought like almost a world nowadays has some kind of free feeding. but we didn't like study. so i'm starting a little over a year ago on christmas morning. we started feeding on sundays and we've been feeding every sunday for a year. and as you can see, we're starting it a little thing here. um and it's just, it's just trying to help our neighbors out. and i mean, it is a place to congregate and always eat and show. there's all done by one man named lorenzo. even when he's our cook. i kind of put it together in between to, to meet him in a couple other homes or for him, put it out, you're on the streets and i mean, you know, trying to change what chance and change these things out here. i'm sure you see,

i mean, slab. so these are please your free meal in a bag and food is a nice thing every week. we're all not at the back of food yet, but we're trying to get bags of food too. so we do every sunday we see before i can this lives, i was on the streets. i've been excited for 15 years. i've been in prison, i've sold drugs. i've, i've done a lot of things. and for one is i want to do something nice for somebody. so we decided feet. and i mean, i cleaned up stop doing drugs and open up a soup kitchen in my town. yeah, i'm start getting back to that always taking, i mean, everybody goes up. everybody goes up, somebody has always started early, early learning, you know, call me slow. hank is like, it took 40 years or 20 years, however long it took me a long time to figure this out, but this is what makes me happy. now, when everybody come does apply to food there and there, there's my job job of them to me in there may be done, but doug, you remember we me, he was the age of 1st. so the what are we the

there? it's all. oh, let me see. i think opening day was new year's eve and oh to me right. i don't make money. you know, if anything i spend my money. the reason i've kept editors 20 years is the only thing i ever did that made a difference in the world. you know, this wasn't here, the people in that would be quite a bit different. i think. issue, you know, you look around our existence, things to check and look rather bleak. look for this is

a thing we're that the humanity of the beauty of, of live comes out. the feeling of, of the are the feeling of people feeling like they're an artist, as opposed to a vandal. if it is fixed or selective. the collective self image of everybody here can be part of this. you know, even though it is adult, play to the neg road. yeah. really bad actually. so my friend screwed this piece of metal on and i, when i read poxy, they say you say that the you wants to play, did that. yeah. yeah. i learned like maybe 3 years ago now, maybe a little less than that and was a and wasn't conspiring. was there the range and yeah, yeah i, i said there for a year and a half or 2 years because i live like music, you know?

so we sit in the front and i watch them and i love it. i did it in new york. you like watching music and like, i can do that just like most people in the audience, you look in there and you're like, i can never do that. right, i can learn how to play guitar in my fourties and they were, they, i know a single court, you know, and where there had a thing to which and the most thing i would do is like, and doesn't carry over the 2nd half of them. good half of them and they will learn how to write songs to, and i'm gonna do a lot of the same time and i'm going to stand a very next to my heroes. you know, next to build a bill and all these amazing jones, the key for that would be, you know, they're also my family, all those people. so they're letting me their instruments and i was like, these, me another car getting to see it isn't. yeah. now, i know like 4050 songs though, and i wrote several songs and make sure that i can do that most. no, i don't know that's

what brought me here. was the public car or kept me here. it was brought to me when i got here ignorant. i didn't know nothing about swenson but it was the public car and some of the minerals out here. bloom. my my and this was that was something with things for you to stay. yeah, cause is not a lot of places who are in america where you can do this and not be criminalized right here you can see any kind of art and it's not criminal to. it's appreciated and that's not in some phases. it becomes famous. so this is my original taxidermy dinner party that i did. i think it was 3 years ago when i set this up originally in there. so we've got young box. i'll go back in grandma back and young buck is here bragging about this guy. he's like, oh my gosh, humans are so stupid. i was just hiding behind a tree. i just lasted him right in his face. all he was filling up. this car with

gas is going to be years like, you know, we could add, think we resource human some, you know, prostitution rings, drug rings, the homeless. there's so many places we can get people besides us. and grandma, but flight police are feed me, i'm starving. see, i will stay here as long as i'm happy here and right now, i mean, it's like a dream come true to be living here and having the amount of people that come through every day that i get to share this with and get some people are like mortified, some people are excited, some people are like, oh my gosh, i love your brain and it's like, i didn't really get that kind of attention and feedback when i've been doing my artworks in my life. like even like the 1st post i did of like a baby at all. i put horns on the back to make it look like wings or something and i posted it on like some obscure, like not instagram, it's like google plus or somewhere. and i really, oh it's, it was one person to be like, oh that's weird. like delete the language such as big down.

did the whole fishing i have that's the plague of christianity that it's not against christians. it's just the christianity crusades. and what not the propagation of one, religion type of thing and then the plague, i don't know, it's kind of open to interpretation just to put the name alone. the i'm not an atheist living here in the desert. you find, you find spirituality all over the place, so you get really connected to a lot of things here. the what is a part of the leg, isn't it, but it would pose good. isn't the deepest you of us and that in the word part, is it something deep but more complex might be present? there?

let's stop. without cases, let's go out of as the softer, almost a week and a half. the adf withdrawals from the westbank city of geneva, following one of the territories longest and deadliest raids in years. but 21 people reported killed and residential buildings destroyed, is really forces deployed massive military reinforcements leading to a full siege of a city and the camp. they stormed residential buildings destroying many apartments in homes for seen hundreds of palestinians. families typically meets the sound of the soldiers gunfire. the details of a 3 year investigation into the catastrophic us, polite from us down this down are set to be revealed in washington. nonsense. the american weapons left behind the pure across the sides, asia losing its red to.
