10:36 am
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 a, 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 so i'm pretty james now. yeah, that's why i'm saying. uh maybe even help me out cuz i'm telling you, man, it's a weird bike. put those spar sharp in asheville. yeah. cuz just go the other way. just like that. yeah. last night and my last wife i shot my brother in law. like i said to bring board and i just thank god, today i doing, telling me so a yeah, this is nice that they do more hours or she divorced me. you know there. okay.
10:37 am
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. may i go to my mouth? i my crack images and think i was broke and has a man, but at that day in there, i mean it was a rough trust for their i remember though to say that was only 5 years ago or so for me you yeah. about 5 years minus and 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've gotten here. but i mean, you know, do you have to bring it up? i suppose, just so you know, the whole story. you don't want that? yeah. yeah. it's not that big a deal though. i guess just seem like
10:38 am
a lot when i was going through it though. you know, and i seemed 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 this 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. i 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,
10:39 am
you've already put flight stuff in the seat up. the people are here because then they're ready to go. when it came function in society . and the other hand of here because they loved the place and there's nowhere 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 intolerant. with people because the, if 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 the maker to earn my spot here. several 100 people have passed through here. either under way, somewhere else or provide safe space to abuse women and to elderly people to mentally ill, people, to addicts,
10:40 am
to children. you know that if i have an extra trailer, i always i always make rooms out of it. so that when people come near phase the state and they have one that, that i was married to an entail executive for all this 25 years that that had an extensive bank account. tell me no love, actually the game i did the whole further than 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 i couldn't recall him. the culture of old service feeling that white man mentality of their just spectators, they're not participants in life, but they pay for adventures. call it a living. right. why are good to live with every day?
10:41 am
i was a born again. christian, conservative house wise for predicts 6 if i gave him 6 kids, well, 5 kids and the baby came after me. then once on that mostly and tough risk, them swear, i lost my mind. it's no better place to be to the village in 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 goats on this thing, susan?
10:42 am
one of them, this is just a horn dog. your name again is mike. uh, mark. so he is my pulled. are for info and marco paul. uh no. i know i get it is live is julianne or it gets 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
10:43 am
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 and owning a motor home got is 30 getting more expensive than 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, [000:00:00;00]
10:44 am
10:45 am
the closest to the shipping is such over 32nd, some boy the the there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. is the case of the med, most of the people i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also absurd. this is the 3rd world lunacy re washing press for. so the funder line likes to say, we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deals to living on mac. we have very close propaganda. you know, a price here in new york. i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the questions. the more questions ask a better the answer is will be makes a lot of rain on some cheese like so. what did you say is i'm going to start
10:46 am
remembering the whole. so there, we have a lot of refugees. we don't have to have in the regrets for refugees because we got refugees right here. you know, you see the, all the, the blue tart homeless people in los angeles and, and the other cities. i'm sure this is better living than living and skid row los angeles. you know, that's got to be so hopeless. it's heavy. i think about this because i'm in fear of what they think about. then 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 to the page. a lot of this whole thing to the come and look every month, but every month,
10:47 am
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 it's all good to love the community that helps people out here. that's what i love, the most is syndicated. all this is one big happy family. that's what i like. and even though you see people here with nothing, you know, some cardboard checks, you know, but the cardboard shack of broke up for you. if you just been sleeping on the dirt . you know, you get a few odd jobs and maybe you could find a rundown, broken down trailer to deliver it. and you know, you can pull your life together and that kind of way here for, if you're in the city, is never ever met the cancellation in your car and say, yeah, you know, those, those sites you run you off. but i'm not always nice because that's why we call
10:48 am
this glass free place because it is not because you can't live here and free. it's because you can be here and nobody's going to persecute or prosecute you about it. you know, you just laid down in the dirt here, people are just coming to ask if you're all right. if nobody's going to guard you off to jail for 77 decades, your new. sure. but uh so you know, here you can do the things you want to do without having to have a you didn't turn in jail, have people think what you are now? i gotta talk, green choice judge who is doing this for wrong over here. so yeah, i think this is my little kitchen area is in transition, as is, everything's really in transition all the time. but uh, yeah, so it's all scrambled around right now and when i get done with it, well i have
10:49 am
a good job. what is it? i don't know what cooking with gas now. you were out for 2 days. i don't know. hardly ever run, i guess, but somehow within flushing away it is a things costing. so what we're frag or i just heard from 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, and that's just really take this right. you're, you're wallace, you know, right. in a money department, if you are fortunate enough to get money out here, some of those are and some others aren't. everything has gone up and show much impression, especially if you have to shop right here in town. good, gosh, robbery is a 1st degree. you get food stamps once
10:50 am
a month. i just but i buy cheap natives. very try to get my money is i asked as long as i possibly can. i mean, i got a couple more years. i retired that's. that's the goal here in future retirement. and after that, you know, got some things to do 6 bucks. 6, but anyway, that's up 7, said 17 obviously i just, i believe 7 bucks are going see here this is the the 59 that for this added to no doubt 99 or 10 to the airbag issue. still gotta get ready to get your money. oh wow, i work deal for 25 years and whatnot. and then all of a sudden a gave me as a, you know, um,
10:51 am
literally disturb time ago. but i have no lithium in my body. so therefore, uh, you know, you got your option down the highs and lows and this type of thing. and that is, uh, you know, considered to be a handicapped of shots that to where they, you know, show up on your hands on there. i mention that mine was, uh, yeah, a boy, i loved the torch feeding i was a welder too, but well, garage a pretty good welder, but in your torch department and feeling no, why was that the tough for? 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 to pay 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,
10:52 am
where we do do it in combinations that people only help each other. sure. and that's a good thing. over a year ago we started what we call this lives the soup kitchen, cuz every poor community an american, and brought like it, 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, it is 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, and trying to change what chance i change these things out here. i'm sure you see, i mean, slab. so these are place, you know, a 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,
10:53 am
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 bags that always taking. i mean, everybody goes up. everybody goes up, somebody has really started early, early learning, you know, call me slow. you know, i think 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 on 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 big tall? uh uh,
10:54 am
let me see. uh, i think opening day was new year's eve and oh, to the rain. i don't make money. you know, if anything i spend my money. the reason i've kept at it for 20 years is the only thing i ever did that made a difference in the world. you know, this wasn't here, the people that would be quite a bit different. i think another issue, you know, you look around our existence, things to check and look rather bleak things. look for this is a thing we're that the humanity of the beauty of, of life comes out the feeling of, of the art, the feeling of people feeling like they're an artist, as opposed to
10:55 am
a vandal. if it is fixed or selective. the collective self image of everybody here to read 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 that you say you say that the if you wants to play, did that. yeah. yeah. i learned like, uh, maybe 3 years ago now, maybe a little less than that and was a and wasn't conspiring was they were in the range and yeah, yeah i, i said there for a year and a half or 2 years cuz 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 it's like, i can't do that. just like most people in the audience. you look in there and you're like,

10:57 am
my my and it was that was something with things for you to stay. yeah. cuz there's not a lot of places in america where you can do this and not be criminalized. right? you can do any kind of art and it's not criminal. that 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 gram of x and young back is here bragging about this guy is like, oh my gosh, humans are so stupid. i was just hiding behind a tree. i just lasted him right in his face while he was filling up. this car with gas is got every 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 starting. see,
