really put the greek gears on some of these countries that are trying to develop, well, they've set back and watched what happens when you get into bed with these americans . a trouble is brewing and they've seen, but russia has gone through. but they've also seen that russia has come out on the other side, and china is there to offer that support. and that is the powerful thing about the belgium road initiative. the, everyone that's in this group, they put the geopolitical aside. they get on with the business, and again, this is something that america cannot come to grips with a just don't get it. and the d r i is a 154 country strong right now, and it will continue to accelerate. and one last point is, yeah, a lot of these countries have seen what the americans have done, and they say, hey, for us, it can make it through it. maybe we can to. well said alex, great comment to wrap up this conversation. knowledge supported by canadian, vulgar and join us in china. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. thanks for joining us here for this program live for most go on role research. i. we're back

soon with ma as a the, i mean everyone's chasing the same dream. everyone's doing the same thing, having to get a job, making it rich, making the savvy money that the,

who's the most popular person in the world know body the world doing the same damn thing. it's like watching the high school all over again . i believe in creating awareness about homeless because if we don't pay attention to it, it's gonna overwhelm the population. and when that happens, where's the money going to come from? seriously, we're it, we're, we're ready is what? 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 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 aren't even here, cars or 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. hearing los angeles right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have a homeless own being done right now. the accounting hominy on the 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 chairs last year alone. the amount of all homeless rose by 12 percent in california. right. is the rent is to do. the rent is too damn high. the rent is too damn high the, the, the, the, the rent, the, the. 8 so we turned in over a 115000 signatures to get it the initiative on the ballot to expand control that to be on the california ballot in november of 2024. and the apartment association is trying to opposing that issue and trying to stop in trying to stop us. we also delivered over $732000.00 signatures to the governor of california.

governor newsome asking him not the how are they trying to sell people? so what they're, they're, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put in initiative. i'm with valley, which basically says that it's a top kiss on the same to not put their own initiative on the ballot to expand right controls or anything around the house. so they're hurting tenants. and also a job cost clinics in $45.00 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 always have a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords of liter. you don't hear our side

of the story. i have changed very little money. i have a mortgage homeowners insurance and they wouldn't be and, and i couldn't even barely last for 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? they should be mad at the government and to the government to pay their rent. why should i have to take care of that? somebody take care of you. care complain at the grocery store complained that your medicine is why is it just the landlord by me landlord. so i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know,

a couple units. they're worried as well because what that high when school would call for it. i mean the, the range of 6, the hard to keep up with it. so these 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 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. 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 raise a price up of things in places where it goes missing all the time to cover it. that's probably the way rent is getting so high because half the people who live

there never pay the rent. somehow. somehow, i feel like criminal is renting a sitting. i really do. my name's walk in mother golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be 52 in april and i've been homeless off and on us since 2006 and where do you live? right here in this truck? so why is it so why? oh, well, there really isn't a way to get to on top of things. what the economy just deteriorating is it is there's not a way for the way just to catch up to what the prices are for for rent a person is trying to get to. and maybe even 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, had fits in the gates a lot of people's efforts the, me yeah. don't get me wrong. i don't look like i'm alone. serious and i got this no telling lines i get on through the disease like a 180 little like here and i just on doesn't look like i need to be honest, honestly. know what the cost of living out this month for, subtract them. uh yeah. no matter if your worker 40 our job hourly job. you know me . if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these, these things on them. so weird. i've been out here in california in 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 criminal, i don't get a criminal background. you know, i've got a very expensive criminal background look at 19 fillings on my records. you know, i'm not trying to, i mean these for you, there's not i can't get any decent things up. so i'm just 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 how many are we doing? well, you don't say here, you might, you might be a, might be around, you know, like it's no big one is making a wireless. but he said he was at the end of the low. you go, what do you do full leaving? oh, do. i'm going to some go to school. i go to lumpy city college for the 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. i wasn't 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 spring writing. thank you. hi, my name is mailed to the correct number, cool phone, an 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 angeles. and what we do is we take these mobile shortlist, they can 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 homelessness. and we offer gen them shot was even for what the city

like los angeles, that's very little public infrastructure. when it comes for you to use public chavo lelona that through. so fall off the phone to sleep on our streets. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which a coffee shop will let them just let use the bathroom. but when he comes to show us a lot of our 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? oh, it's good. it's always good to go. i got a hutch down the half hours. okay. yeah, it's always good to get a hot challenge homeless that my god apply for a shower to yes, i'd be

a good shower of 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 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, they have better jobs, better paying their more resources. so yes, a racism, a place, a 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. there's one the most underserved communities in los angeles. i love the immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english. we have here is you can 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 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. they start fresh vegetables,

they would pick yesterday. so you're not going to find any, any fresh or up products here. and they do serve as 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. the mother of many places in the world where you can stay on the divide between the 2 oceans and the you might not think kids. one of them is hey, english is northern, our phone goes vision and the channels that us national park. and today's,

when you organized there was a stuff was taking a deep side interest because of the a homeless. his home is a rear. i have a son, his name is only about $0.50 a month right for him. enjoy old a 6262 and you've been homeless for a while. continue for many years. see 10 years. so i'm just to like to go ahead and poke. you have to pay the pension deal. where am i right

here to help with on getting some really low versus you the, the get 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 he doesn't exist. we have people coming to our food banks that have jobs, and some of them have good jobs, but they can not make ends meet the fuel cause we're right now. we'll go through it . one is the other, you know, how do i i just leave my hands

on the bill. yeah. can you see the on board? oh hi tom this to this where do we address a bad day man. that he yeah, the

i, 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 with interior design or the was it worth coming here? yeah,

pard and i are able to see of 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 working to 3 jobs and still not enough because of the cost of living also has increased $40.00 i think $3500.00 the one bedroom. it was way across the street 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 be done to fix 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 deleting the rate 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 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 said it's a, he's the se, se 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 patches to text messages. i gave the body to text messages in the shelves. are you thinking about this? well, that is the right thing. one of the houses where they are 4 people die. so nearby, john, this is james white. we met them there. they're still there. what do you know possible since last week? um um and gave kelly. i think her name of the day or the give her um what is the the uh the not, not, not a good thing. have you guys seem to be fine and we, i want to see this about time after one for 6 people then already, you know,

they lower it 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 one with the rabbit share with miss and then they was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or with the jail and she's supposed to come back and nobody knew where she was. they made them line, they found her face and you're not too far from the shelter. so how you didn't they don't care about all where about nothing. all the program. i'm gonna have programs, all sorts of less as little bit like search 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 through your income. you, as soon as i stipulated that since i had time to try to move out, most people in my apartment, i do a met and crack. are there more and more people then to the

co bags and then he'll buy item doesn't make me 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. but the money is blown away and varies. we see very little come out over that. you know, so they spend a lot of money and even government government. yes. they spend a lot of money on the labor very little rent has just really taken off and the restrictions on how to rent have changed. they want you to have a deposit of, you know, same with sometimes what you put 3 months down or prove you can pay 3 months when

you do, 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, couldn't rent here. and there was a time, i mean, i was a while ago 253 years ago. you could be a starving artist here in 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. here is how food you would have a car for now, people are choosing and we're talking about people is for day or week jobs are choosing to buy groceries or pay their rents. and we're taking single pay by can 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 guys

come to hollywood, get some of the money. this is 50 k and 1000000 looks like like guys 1000000 a year. the zillow baby. for me. you're looking for low read our movies because people come out here fall, a 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 very welcome to welcome to dreamland for james, come through the, i mean, no, 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, 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. they know that you're walking into a supermarket and you can buying 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, you know, they're not as compassionate as people. think about the steps the subject looks good and then we'll go now i look good. thank you sir. but you, people are always people good or for not like the room. right. the all depends on the day how fit in going to bed in kenner. wanted to do a dinner, isn't 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 he's very difficult. i know people that have retire with the kind of retirement checks that they getting cannot keep up with a cause of rent. so now they living in their carts after working all their lights and, and yes they are. certain programs are available that was subsidized for some of the housing. but not everybody gets it. 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 then labor very little or nothing the

using it right there. israel low interest strikes on the lebanese capital again, leaving the stop them. stop bugs of babe. ruth in fluid is the source of south africa's foreign minister saying his country is the right party to fight for the public opinion. polls finalizing it remains a funding international issue as a desk colon gauze. i continued to run the brochure as a security council secretary, it's sort of a showing who is on a 2nd visit to china this year, both sides and says the support for each of those core interest is key to standing
