9:31 am
[000:00:00;00] the suite. the nice the, what so striking for me is this contrast of in california where some people are so resumed. 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
9:32 am
son's control people. that's a way of controlling people. you know, power and money. everyone should have had these housing food, you know, healthcare, education close, you know, stuff, you know, things like that. yeah. and a little extra so you can maybe go to the movies or go out to dinner or something on a little vacation. you know, he's doing the to the whole dance with the yeah, i'm 77 and i don't get enough nearly enough income, but i have a affordable housing. it's called affordable housing, but they keep facing the rants, but they don't which that they don't keep. they don't raise my income to match, you know what i mean?
9:33 am
my social security retirement. so do come here to make some extra money. yeah. supplemental you know what i mean? from the very last job i have was security. but i've done many things i've, i've been an optician, i've done security. i've been a secretary, i been a forklift operator. i've sent them different things and you were working all your life. right. well, you know, from the 17 on us. yeah. the new i've been waiting for housing for awhile. like around 17 years. and um, how come home, personal care and uh, salvation army they got together and they got me a room for a year. so you know, which is pretty good because you know, now i don't have to travel a lot too much and still like be pushy. i had a, i had major surgery on my legs. come on this thing, but i also have a disease and my legs for my blood cells and i most will switch. and my skin has
9:34 am
a hard time sticking to my legs. so they put these on there to hold it back. but this is the big one right here, because you don't want to kill them so many times. so it's funny around here, this in other words, you know, that really is like, i don't know, that's what a lot of smoke most people are homeless then then the houses youngest in california on telephones. where are you from new york one year on. so you can see it for worth . so i can fax cuz my girls tend to take the little overdose all set overdose and have to come back and have a home. so you don't pay, you know, a lot of people die enough enough and don't even know what the fuck is. it's all just crazy. a lot of my friends home boys and girls that are there for an ocean and not joe is, well, i can't handle it. the new systems i can't handle, you know, they're not trying to find it. and if you want to be realistic, realistic about the problem regarding where the problem really lives. and that's
9:35 am
where the drugs, the drugs, is where the problems wise. and legalizing is that like i said, that the better knees and other drugs to a misdemeanor. 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 like smoking is crap out. me. ok. and you give them a ticket and you walk away what. how is that change in anything? he just goes, gets more and just does it again. it's like we don't care or respect
9:36 am
the human of the human race. but when we may make laws and decide it all there on the a misdemeanor, and now it's no big deal. it is a big deal. sorry. so you say you're from london? yes. rhetoric just outside of london. yeah. what's the name of it? it's yeah ma'am. that's the reason is and what do you think about that today says here and with the, with a so definitely noticed a huge difference between the rich and the full on new existing. well, i didn't know existed to the level of this. i know it's very high. i'm experiencing it 1st time. this is, you know, it's quite trouble. i've heard so i've heard of skid row. i don't know much about that. 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 is your country, do you need some help? do you'd still grow?
9:37 am
and they'll help you. yeah. and they'll give you what's your money and do a bunch of stuff, help your people get better and then we look into it and then you guys come over here, is water treatment every 3rd. 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. what we see on the 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 go, don't completely different story. i guess what's really interesting is people here and much more neglected then over that, then i can 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
9:38 am
a big problem. ringback so we're kind of done uh, you know, hot off schedule, we're on 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 schedule. 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 non canon fentanyl districts 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 schedule is 54 blocks quote. and the funny thing is right, the middle of skid row is a police station. and one time when i was there, i saw 2 dude arguing amongst each other. one shoots the dude over the dog and
9:39 am
watched the 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 to. 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 on 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 them off on skid row. that was
9:40 am
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 like watching a television. oh is, will 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 that know it attacks the most. those were the, it basically start filling 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 folded in half have a slip, right?
9:41 am
no real sleep in a bed laying down with a shower or anything like that for over over 8 days past the point of delirium. i'm now as a point of just totals exhausting and frustration of i can't get a hold of my family holidays 4 years old and i looked like them probably 60 because of what streets of done this is i. it's tiring. i'm so tired. i tried to go to the hospital because i got the stores 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 like that. i don't understand what's going on with this, you know, it's, and it's only selected people there. they're destroying me, little bits at
9:42 am
a time. we're ready to serve in the military. i was with the marine corps, specifically more so a little bit in libya. small, you know, the people in small entry each other veterans and we treat each other. i hear 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 birds, all the bad people who hurt people what 0 get raped in the only way. and when i tried to get the guy off of her, i was attacked by his home boys. they broke for my ridge. ah, they split my lip open. i mean, like they supposed to be a pretty good excuse my language. the so it's your bear is just children with the little uh like, uh, maybe
9:43 am
a 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 like says and now you're going to go and do that just because he's your friend and you want to be accepted. recognize, seems for low understood is all the really everybody wants. it's just sometimes some people go by a weird way of trying to get it is that everybody isn't as intuitive or salvage, that everyone has all the skills and all the gifts and the ones that don't, we need to be loving and patient and understanding instead of hating them for what they're doing. actually noticing that maybe you might be a different story. is kind of cute,
9:44 am
being short stubby like sometimes you don't even know where to go to sleep. watch it. you know you to walk into a town. you don't know where to start is, don't know where you could pop it up and be safe. still not to serve his place in words, world. it's made of cloth 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 that 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 10 fashion. most of you know, i would do that because i just don't like violets at all. it's my home. it's where
9:45 am
9:46 am
so you barely hear grateful for me. look here. see me in the right. you have places like this only exist. can you imagine where you would be a place like this? well, you know, this is some of the attendance and the struggles that people go through trying to keep up with the rents. you know, it's a real struggle and he gets very real, especially when you have family children. you know, can you imagine, you know, what do you go if you cannot afford you ran that 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
9:47 am
. and, and we have, uh, we have my or her as a mom. and we also admire the little child that she's 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. and you know, many people be literally, as you say, living on the streets. i mean, when, when a just bought this building, there were some people that were living here. so some of the rooms kind of just it, so it would be more affordable, but they have certain amount of units that are exclusively for people that don't have homes. so we work with them and, and place them if we have any for these, you know that 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 which is bought. and as soon as they fix them, you fills out really quickly because, i mean,
9:48 am
the people are waiting for housing for a long time. you know, we have shown this the city that, 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 as low as a $100.00 compared to other places with the amount for the place where we offer here. you pay close to $10000.00 for a studio unit 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 building. and she loved it here
9:49 am
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 somebody 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 and we have so we have enough here of empty buildings that we could put all the people who are on our streets in. 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,
9:50 am
people anymore. and i think that's all over the united states. they used to be the teen or you would get a have a family and you'd be able to get a house and every, every, just be in this progressive thing. i don't think that's happening for most anymore the wailing season. yeah. use my own i use i love the seat so my dream is to one day have a place in my own when my husband and be either running, i know coram, or working at one right 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 will be the 1st animals in your inquiry, and they're on their dolphins and any day to have
9:51 am
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 get, they can give you pearls. if you have enough sand at the bottom, the, [000:00:00;00] the, i'm much more happy with that because then i don't get to, to worry about. i got zeros dressers, how about you you as a human being, how many suppressors do you have?
9:52 am
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 that everybody cast around likes. parity and then decide, you know, one we, because you're not so dark, you're ok or more. we do a little more dress nicer. you're all right. judge bed too low, how people should look dressed at it, all those aspects. it's going for different forms of braces like my daddy. oh you say keep it simple, stupid. i have one son was or oh, 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
9:53 am
issue is we have a really broken foster care system up to 70 percent of children exiting the foster 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 said, $22.00 to $25000.00 a year. but in,
9:54 am
in america there's no cap on how much you can make or how little you can get, because you can get nothing or the sky's the 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, then 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
9:55 am
. corporations control and these no secret billing there's control, you know, bonded fixing america. so when that happens is every policy that comes out, 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 they're doing the by the not in put in us. it gives each other, you know, the republic and saves that democrats, are the enemy, the democrats said the republicans, are the enemy at the end of the day, the real enemy is the people that are saying 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 see a car by vehicle? yes. rather then. yeah. and i'd have to learn how to drive or you have to then
9:56 am
put the great, 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 sprain during which is spare 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 with way of like the most successful day. i made a 100 bucks on this corner. yeah i do feel like there's a villain is ation 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
9:57 am
their neighbors because they are their neighbors and share and be generous. i think the world's and all this circumstance with he'll actually be those i 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. race deal, a lot of time being negative about it. you're missing out in the opportunities that should be there for you while it's happening. like i said, we're worst critics. we'll beat ourselves up, make things harder than what it should be. it's not that it's not that hard to my name. i'm sorry. we're good.
9:58 am
oh, pressure. the 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 bad. who's coming to that? um, i got an attacked inside of the target last night. i just got attacked and had my bike showing it's all by the same people using them crazy.
9:59 am
everybody else things crazy. but i know it's for a fact. it's not the 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 is that conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence. and the point obviously, is to makes a trust rather than to the various jobs. i mean, with the artificial intelligence we have summoning the theme and the robot must protect this phone existence with alexis,
10:00 am
syria, as a sovereign state has ceased to exist, can the western back h t s, and other groups establish some kind of central control and or watchful bolton, we determine the fate of the syrians, people the despite the enormous help from the west. the initiative on the front line is in our hands, and russian troops are advancing along the entire front, advising on a front, nearly 200 settled on since thousands of kilometers of land have been secured by russian forces. moscow is chief of the general stop, brief foreign ministry at tasha is on the ukrainian federal fund for this year. and russian and security services arrest the mines were assassinated, lieutenant general ego to cut it off. and his aid between either old says his ukrainian handler's almost of 800000 bucks and a residence in a european union for the gateway. this is my cell,
