our democracy is falling apart and we're worried about small things and where you should be worried about the bigger problems that are right in front of our faces. instead of turning the blind, i love 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 living in your cars. there are some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room wherever the people are allowed. you know, friends may 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 those angeles right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have a homeless own being done right now. the accounting hominy on house before living on the streets. so we don't have 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 she has last year alone. the amount of a homeless rose by 12 percent in california right is the rent is to get my rent is damn high. the rent is too damn high the the, the, the, the rent, the on the. 8 so we turned in over a 115000 signatures to get it the initiative on the ballot to expand her and controls that to be on the california ballot in november of 2024. and see if

hartman association is trying to is opposing that issue. and trying to stop a and trying to stop us. we also delivered over 732000 signatures to the governor of california, governor newsome asking him not to oppose this measure. how are they trying to stop you? so what they're the, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put in initiative. i'm a valley which basically says that a top kits on the same to not put their own initiative on the ballot to expand right controls or anything around the housing. so they're hurting tenants. and also a just cause clinic in 45 different countries across the world. and they're trying to show something non profit simply because they don't want rent control the. my name is

gina. i am a small mom, landlord and i was a bit of an issue when they call me landlords of liter. 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 leave. and, and i couldn't even barely waste what last 4 years. i couldn't raise a $5.00. but yet i had taxes to pay. i had insurance to pay, i had maintenance to cheaper, and i had to pay them. dollars to move out is 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 them? somebody take care of you care, complain at the grocery store, complain that your medicine is. why is it just the landlord?

5 somehow it's me, landlords. i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple units. they're worried as well because what that high when school with corporate driving the, the rates 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 land. unfortunately, the fix the small business as the effect, the small landlords. so we're here to let them know that, you know, if we bring rank control to california, it's a positive thing moving forward because they're going to be able to not being terminated by corporate landlords that 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 is because, like somebody steals too much budweiser from that store. you know, that's just the way that it goes, you know,

and originally they've raised the price up of things in places where it goes missing all the time to cover it. that's probably why rent is getting so high because half the people who live are never paid to rent. somehow. somehow. i feel like criminals running a city. i really do me . my name is joaquin mother golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be 52 in april and been homeless off and on us since 2006 and where do you live? right here in this truck? so why is it so white? oh, well, there really isn't a way to get to on top of things when the economy just deteriorating is it? is there's not a way for the wages to catch up to what the prices are for for rent a person just trying to get to it. maybe you have a studio apartment here in this area, so it's 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 mean. yeah. don't get me wrong. i don't look like i'm alone. seriously, i got it. no tell me, whines i get on through the disease like a 180 or like a year and i just don't. it doesn't look like i need to be honest to honestly know what cost of living out this month or to subtract them. uh yeah, no matter if your worker 40 arrow job arrow week job. you know me. if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these histories on them, so weird. i've been out here in california and hollywood for probably about 10

years about 10 years, and i have yet to do it. 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 i've got a very extensive criminal background look at 19 fillings on my records. what i'm not trying to, i mean these probably there's not i can't get any decent things. uh tell them that there's trying to get, i'm trying to get funded, get a job with metro right now. just 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. tell me a girl. we don't we don't hear from you might, you might be a, might be around, you know, like says that we can use making a wireless. but he said he was at the end of the low. you go what do you do full leaving? do?

i'm going to go to school. i go to lumpy 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 uh, my own screen place for production. i have good work. i went and 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 for the phone and executive director of the shower full. and like the name says, we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless those same los angeles. and what we do is we take these mobile shortlist, i can see over here the various different locations. we have approximately 50 sites

in los angeles. we pocket in locations where it's close default, so i experiencing homelessness. and we offer gent them shot was even for what the city like los angeles, that's very little public infrastructure. when it comes for you to use a public chavo lelona that through. so fall on a full sleep on our streets. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which coffee shop will let them just let them use the bathroom. but when it comes to showers, a lot of i guess, if it wasn't 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 buzz back out of a sink. so that's why it's so critical and, and that's so much the man for our services. how does it to you? well, it's good, it's always good to have your the hutch down. they have hot showers. yeah, it's always good to get a lot challenge homeless that my god to apply for

a shower to yes, i'd be a good shower. 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, food and 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 disparities right there that any quality whereas you go to well do neighborhoods or neighborhoods of, of, of wide folks. you'll see that they are, they have better jobs, better paying their more resources. so yes, a racism is

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 that mcarthur park union district of los angeles. there's one the most underserved communities in los angeles, atlanta immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english. we have uh tears. you could see a lot of seniors and we have people that struggle to 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 is that before prior to we having an appointment system, people used to be here at,

i mean like, 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. they were picked yesterday, so you're not gonna make buying any, any fresh or uh, products done here. and they do serve it 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 take instead of us giving you a bag of food the most likely you're not going to like we allowed them to make several choices here and take food that they love to cook. no one else seemed wrong. just don't safe house because of the after and engagement. it was the trail.

when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground. i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except we're so shorter that conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence. the point obviously, is to create a trust rather than fit the various jobs. i mean with the artificial intelligence, we have somebody in the team and the robot must protect this phone. existence was alexis

i'm homeless. and then home was the we're, i have a problem is only about $0.50 in my right where i'm enjoy old a $6262.00, usually homeless for a while. continue for many years, say 10 years. so i'm going to feel like for example, you have to pray that hey, fish a deal. where am i right here? the only getting some really low version you the, the got 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, either you'll have what you don't have. so to say that you're in the middle class

is a fantasy because these are things that we have people coming to our food banks that have jobs and some of them have good jobs, but they can not to make ends meet. so of course we're right now, we'll go through the ones the last. i know how do i, i just leave my hands. charger boom. boom. to can you see i have to put it on time on the face of the 1st time this this way to raise the bad day tomorrow. right. man,

that he yeah. the i want to can you hold on a 2nd the right you enjoy that. thank you. so much lady do leave here. i do. i do. this is not heroine. that's a i went to

a doctor this morning. why did you come from effect? you work the interior design or the was it worth coming here? they're hard able to see all the flight to afford a place here. not many people can want to work 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

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 of the cost of living also has increase. so let's say $3500.00 for 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 does what we have to deal with. so the benefits 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 right, there's this, the people, they can't co habits,

he can't get along so they can't. well, the next coming population apparently can live with 10 people into 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 get say, he's the se, se thing, but we show them 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 do you to text messages? let me just say, michelle, so you're thinking about this is the right thing. one of the houses where they are 4 people die room, so nearby. john is the same way we met them. they're,

they're still there. putting up was the goal since last week. um um and gave kelly. i think her name was there to give her. um, what is that the, the not, not, not a good thing. have you guys seem to be fine and we, i want to say this about time after one or 6 people that already passed the 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 went missing and they was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or went to jail as you folks come back and nobody knew where she was in need of them line. they found her date space and not too far from the shelter. so how you didn't, they don't care about where about nothing. all the program i'm gonna have

programming job sorts of less as little bit like service and in that way. so let's say do 1520 percent of what your income is that by your rent up in the 30 a month. you can use that as soon as i add some time, i'm so tired of move out most people in my apartment and do a mess and crack. and then more and more people become seamless though they see none of the coal bags. and so 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 a lot of money is blown away. i'm very reason we see very little come either

with that, you know, so this spend a lot of money. you mean government government? yes. they spend a lot of money. and the labor of 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, there's, these are things that a lot of people wouldn't qualify for with good jobs. so they've made it so hard that a person with a pretty well paying job couldn't, couldn't rent 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 would have a safe place to live. you would have food, you would have a car for now. people are choosing and we're talking about people is 40 hours

a 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. so me be looking for low,

read our movies because people come out here. father, i dream says their dreams. 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 working on manifesting. i made it as women of as of right now, already body for me. i look at it, i visualize it. i know the address to me. that's what it lies about me. when you see that house, as you'll see me and it is lend his house for me, welcome to welcome to hollywood. welcome that welcome to welcome to dreamland for james, come through the i know honestly, it's probably hard to live or where it is hard. it's hard to drive down the street and see this, and i think people are either going to be propelled, to have empathy and do something, or possibly just shut down it's. it's 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 it and you can live. you have a home, you know, the, there's no kindness in any city or state in regards even in places that we deem liberal. you know, california is not very liberal about this. now, they're not as compassionate as people think about the substance subject. looks good. that's good. now i look good. thank you sir, but you people are always people good or for in the room.

right. the all depends on the day. so i can fit in. going to bed in kenner. that's the one that will generate november. we're through so there is different factors that may affect our seniors, and most important is, is that the safety mates that existed, they being taken away. so he's very difficult. i know people that have retire with a the kind of retirement checks that they're getting cannot keep up with a cause of rent. so now they living in their carts after working all their lights. and yes, they are certain programs available that was subsidized for some of the housing.

but not everybody, it's. 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 other on many places in the was way. you can say you're on the divide between the 2 oceans and all the might not think kids. one of them is, hey, english is northern, i found your vision and aquinos that us national park. and today's, we know the was a stuff was taking a deep side, interesting page because the

there is 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 of soon. this is the 3rd world lunacy re washing as for so the funder line likes to say we have the tools

while we just start with stability as a business deal. so i need somebody living on that have said eclipse 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. some more questions ask a better. the answer is, will be our family is one of many families across guam whose ancestral lands were taken from them after world war 2. around 2 thirds of the island was actually seized by the us after the war. we are domestically a part of the united states, right? we, we, we operate within the system of government. but we are not privy to negotiations with other government entities being united states as never really acknowledge the fact that we are a colonial people. national security has never been about us, and especially security is about securing american infrared,

and this is about security we would be so occupied were actually targets the american citizens cast their ballots. the latest poll showed donald trump and campbell r. as in a deb actually including in the swing states making this presidential race, one of the closest investors as has become the norman, re send us votes. one fred to democracy has been vocalized again by us security agencies above all others. can you get switch countries being blame for a legend? interference. hold on one more ahead. center special coverage of presidential election. 20. welcome to the white house. the concord races or project windows. but we can, i promise, discuss things you just one hit on all the channels like with.
