9:00 pm
on the, the sweet, the nice, the, what so striking for me is this contrast in california where some people are so rich and other people are buried in macon. and that's a, that's a call cost of the whole united states that there's worried about for, for, i don't know, $400.00 people that have all the more income than all of us together. you do think there's a gap is becoming smaller or is growing all it's growing? i don't know. they only want a handful of people. uh, controlling everything they want to keep people under their under this under your

9:04 pm
regarding it or the problem really liked. and that's where the drugs, the drugs is where the problems lies. and legalize the that, that, that, like i said, that the veterans and other drugs to a misdemeanors. what good did that do is to just help them 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 children's wise size. smoking is crap out me 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
9:05 pm
the human of the human race. but when we we may clause and decide it all there on the a misdemeanor. and 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 with the, with a so no, 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, there's quite trouble. i've heard so i've heard of skid row. i presented. i don't know much about it. 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 you're cartridge each belt, do you'd silvo,
9:06 pm
and they'll help you and the what's your money? a do a bunch of stuff to help your people get better. and then we look into and then you guys come over here at the water treatment. everything. oh, perfect. and the coast may be going so much of that. so what the way, oh, i've seen it all over the past 20 on 29 now, but obviously grew up watching american television. all of that stuff in what we see on screen here is like, oh, sorry from that is like a perfect image of everything when we start going in depth and searching stuff up and seeing what was that. so you guys don't completely different story. i guess what's really interesting is people here and much more neglected then over that, then i'll just see i've been every single state who i speak to some years in over the last 50 some years. what was what used to be a partial problem, a few families here and there. now it is because it's such
9:07 pm
a big problem. ringback to which kind of them uh, you know, kind of skid row beyond 5th then. yeah. 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. no, 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, schedule like a lot of people, you know, don't understand what actually skid row is. 54 blocks plug in a. the funny thing is right. the middle of skid row is a police station. and one time when i was there, i saw a 2 dude arguing amongst each other once just to do it over the dog and watch the
9:08 pm
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 schedule. a part of that is because, um, you know, homelessness by itself is so much trauma. one people site keep that, you know, regular people just being on the free to end up with a mental illness. but then also because we have such a fractured health care system in the us and 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 him off on skid row. that was
9:09 pm
a hospital vegas that was caught dumping 1500 patients with the 500 on skid row. 500 in sacramento, and 500 in 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 is like watching the 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 walking zombies from the movies like it's going to pop up in there. i don't know. but now, but being on the real tip on that, it's but now 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 you fold it in half, i have
9:10 pm
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. i can't get a hold of my family holidays. 4 years old and i looked at them probably 60 because of what street of done this is i. it's tiring. i'm 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, you know, i don't, i don't use anything needles or anything right there. i don't understand what's going on with this, you know, it's, and it's only select people there. they're destroying me. little bits at
9:11 pm
a time. rather disturbing the military. i was with the marine corps, specifically more soc little bit in libya smaller. you have the people in small entry each other veterans and we treat each other here on the street survey. this is the most wretched group of people i've ever met in my life. and 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 to. now the way and when i tried to get the guy off of, or i was attacked by his homeboys. they broke for my ridge. uh, they split my lip open. uh, i mean like they supposed to be a pretty good excuse my language. the so sensor bare is just children with the little uh, like
9:12 pm
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 fairly see in your lives because this person, this person likes space and now you're going to go and do that just because he's your friend and you want to be accepted, recognize cj for low, understood. it's all the really, everybody wants. it's just sometimes some people go by a weird way of trying to get it is that everybody's interest as intuitive or intelligence that everyone has all the skills and all the gifts and the ones that don't, we need to be loving in patient and understanding instead of painting them for what they're doing actually notice and then maybe it might be a different story. is kind of cute,
9:13 pm
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 can pop it up to be safe. still not to serve his place in words world. it's a made of clocks 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 the 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? she has a couple of what they call uh, she calls the retreat. kirby don sticks where she's not afraid to come out of the tent and bash it. most of you know, i would do that because i just don't like violets at all. it's my home is where i
9:14 pm
live every single night or has come again to 11 on israel's genocidal assault on god's that has now spread to the north. in both cases, the bite in ministration has done nothing constructive to reduce and avoid conflict in the region. for us is the greatest enabler of israel's forever wars because i'm more interested in lots of them that you spend most of them on this for gabriel boucher. i see for the se under the guise of evacuation about 50000 people were transported. the, the main purpose of this concentration camp in bella rose was doing think prisoners was time for us and use them as a human shield against the advancing savvy at, on a given mind inside the home. but the problem is that is one of us in the plugin for the ship,
9:15 pm
the ship and stuff like that, but don't wanna jump on your name. you know, i'm so sorry i missed cuz that an extra 262, put aside and as a c c 's, use people as biological weapons or leaving them to perish without food for most a little shelter. the doors smell, it there for me. if i did think so, couldn't they knew who lives? i knew it. usually you smell it through. can you put the intrinsic nation weight loose or just put in each each additional restrict financing you move the cam gloucester 10 days or what else made it drastically defense from other camps of the 3rd rice watch on the the maybe we could do a little interview with, oh my god, let's say the car right here. right. so you
9:16 pm
barely hear grateful for me. look here. see me in spice. the places like this only exist. can you imagine where you will be at this 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 then it gets very real, especially when you have family children. you know, can you imagine, you know, what are you going fuel canada for you, right. and then you have children. i mean, my heart goes out to moms like her that, that i see her daughter i, 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
9:17 pm
a mom. and we also admired the little child that just 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 rents kind of just it, so it would be more affordable, but they have certain amount of units that are specifically 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 application has come really fast and, and the fills out fast. we have other buildings that we just bought. and as soon as they fix them, it fills out really quickly because, i mean, the people are waiting for housing for a long time. you know, we have shown this,
9:18 pm
the city 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 few apartment units. some of the units can start was a $100.00 compared to other places was the amount so okay, so what we offer here, you pay close to $2000.00 for the with the bathroom and the kitchen area. so pretty much less than half a month. the other thing guys are gonna lose her subsidized income 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
9:19 pm
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 now. 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. you may have, we have enough here of empty buildings that we could put all the people who were on our streets in um, but that's why there's always talk. so 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, 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,
9:20 pm
you know, you never get a, have a family and you'd be able to get a house and, and we've just been as progressive thing. i don't think that's happening for most anymore. the wiley yeah. use volleyball games. i love the sea, so my dream is to one day have a place in my own with my husband, and be either running or no, coram, or working at one. brian in the courtroom. yeah. and studying to see you guys, you know, see creatures and taking care of. um i love to see as much as i love dogs, which creatures with the various animals in your inquiry and they're on their dolphins and any day to have
9:21 pm
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, the, the, i'm much more happy with that because then i don't get to, to worry about, i got 0 stressors. 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 i need to be free from all the lies
9:22 pm
that everybody cast around like parity and then decide you know, one way because you're not so dark, you're ok or more. we do a little more dress nicer. you're all right. judge mental lavolle, how people should look dressed at it, all those aspects. it's code for different forms of races, like my daddy. oh you say keep it simple. stupid. i have one son was right. that's totally different story. is that one? i don't know. the 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
9:23 pm
care system in the us become homeless at some point in their life weight 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. now 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 lading like your income match, the cost of living back in my time. 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 $23.00 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
9:24 pm
because you can get nothing or the skies 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 in, 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, we have more people who are living in poverty and extreme poverty than ever before . corporations control and there's no secret billing. there's control, you know, bonded fixing america. so when that happens is every policy that comes out,
9:25 pm
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. and during the, by the that's in put in us, it gives each other, you know, the republicans say 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 stay in a car by vehicle? yes. rather than. yeah. and i'd have to learn how to drive all you have to learn for the drive. 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 strain dream,
9:26 pm
which is sparrow 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. what can way of like the most successful day? i made a 100 bucks on this corner. sure . yeah, i do feel like there's a villain ization of people who are in house and their neighbors are 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
9:27 pm
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. you know, a lot of time being negative about it. you're missing out in the opportunities that to be there for you while it's happening. like i said, the worst critics will be yourself. so make things harder than what it should be. it's not that it's not that hard. come on. i'm sorry, we're good. oh, pressure. the
9:28 pm
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? the who's coming to that? um, i got an attacked inside of the target last night. i just got attacked and you had my bike show and it's all by the same people using i'm crazy. everybody else is crazy. but i know it's for a fact. it's not the
9:30 pm
cold in march 1944 a desk created on hitler's personal odor. issues it wasn't completely in between. typhus became a weapon for mass murder. why? when the can do to survive in an open. this one step is to be a little bit since you knew it was a little of what you see, what was shallow showing you should feel a label that's the only the full set of leads me of the .
