8:30 am
the up and the alliance is pushing ahead with this joint effort called baltic century. no matter what, what cares that some media is reporting that there never was any sabotage or any premeditated facts. you stay with us here in our, to international and back with much more and about half an hour. i'll see you then by the
8:31 am
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, that, that, that, that, that was the most popular person in the world. no 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 going to overwhelm the population. and when that happens, where's the money going to come from? seriously we're, it, we're, we're, we're ready is what 70000000000 or something like that. missing in money are
8:32 am
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 the blind eye to the love was the somewhere around $80000.00 people that are an house. here's the problem that be now house me coming different forms because there's some people that aren't even here, cars. there are some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room, whatever day 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, sharing los angeles right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have a homeless own being done right now. the counting hominy on house before leaving on the streets. so we don't have the exact numbers yet,
8:33 am
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 due. again, the rent is too damn high. the rent is too damn high. the, the, the, the, the rent, the on the. 8 so we turned in over a $115000.00 signatures to get it the initiative on the ballot to expand rent controlled that to be on the california ballot in november of 2024. and the
8:34 am
apartment association is trying to its opposing that issue and trying to stop the safe and trying to stop on. we also delivered over $732000.00 signatures to the governor of california. governor newsome ask them not to oppose this measure. how are they trying to sell people? so what they're, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put the initiative on metalli, which basically says that a top case on the same, to not put their own initiative on the ballot to expand right, control or anything around the housing. so they're hurting tenants. and also a chart cost clinic in $45.00 different countries across the world. and they're trying to strip a just something non profit simply because they don't want to confirm the my name is
8:35 am
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 here are side of the story. i had a very little money. i have a mortgage homeowners insurance and they wouldn't be and, and i couldn't even barely wait. what last 4 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? 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 healthcare. complaint at the grocery store complained that your medicine is, why is it just the landlord by me
8:36 am
landlord. so i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple of units. they're worried as well because with that high risk glove which separates driving the, the rates up fix the hard 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 rates are the corporate landlord. unfortunately, the fix, the small businesses, the fixed, the small landlords. so we're to let them know that, you know, if we bring rank control to california is a positive thing moving forward because they're going to be able to not being stimulated by corporate landlords that wanna 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
8:37 am
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 are never paid to rent. somehow. somehow. i feel like criminals run the 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 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 when 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 just kind of get to it. maybe you have a studio apartment here in this area is going to be at least $1500.00
8:38 am
a month and even with some help 1st for move in. mean 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 just a bit 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. and i got this calvin juanza get on through the disease like a 180 a little like here. and i just don't, it doesn't look like i need to be honest with almost free no cost of living out this month. or subtract them. uh, yeah, no matter if you work or 40 arrow job arrow week job. you know me. if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these histories, ideas of where i've been out here in california in hollywood for probably about 10
8:39 am
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 crew, i've got a criminal background, and i got a very expensive criminal background look at 19. so is i'm gonna record it. i'm not trying to, i mean these probably there's not i can't get any decent things. uh tell him 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 came the applied foot in the door for this shit, the same life is. tell me a girl. we don't. well, you don't really know. do you mind you might be a might be around town? no, no, you have a bigger one like says that again. he's making a wireless. i can send you the whole thing was you girl, what do you do full leaving?
8:40 am
oh, do. i'm going to sound 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 uh, my own screen place for production. i have good work. i want an 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, an executive director of the shower of whole. and like the name says, we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless the same as los angeles. and what we do is we take things mobile. so as i can see over here,
8:41 am
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 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, let alone a bad throw. so fall on. if the full so sleep on our streets, it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which coffee shop to let them just like use the bathroom. but when he comes to show us a lot of, i guess he freed one 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 bug bad 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. they have hot showers. okay. yeah, it's always good to get to watch their own own lives. and my god apply
8:42 am
for a shower to yes, i did it for a shower. of the differences, economic differences between groups, race groups, particular are, 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 flu. and a lot of our communities of color don't have access to healthy flu. they just don't . so you see those this bear with me. right there, that any quality whereas you go to well do neighborhoods 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
8:43 am
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, this one the most underserved communities in los angeles. i love the 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, put in the table. and people have very little resources. most of them actually one port 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
8:44 am
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 buying any, any fresh service uh, products done 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 ship to fix. here's the thing. it's not a suspicious disparagement probably over to the bicycle to the junior couple oceans
8:45 am
. just the one to this, to the machine. your water will, can you pick what i chose? prestone could just tell them, but i'm going to the, there's a newsletter to sign up for the to, to come out. i still do expect with a hold of them. don't know if you don't go to deal with just most of the dark systems are shown. probably in this courting over, within the a homeless his home is a, we're having a problem is only about $0.50 a month. right for them enjoy old a 6262. you've been homeless for
8:46 am
a while. continue for many years, say 10 years. so i'm just people like, for example, you got to pay the french a deal. where am i right here to help with only getting some really low versus the the gap 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 sold 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 foreclosure. we're right now, we'll go through it and i have one say the
8:47 am
8:48 am
8:49 am
was it worth coming here? there? hard or you're able to see all the flight to afford a place here. not many people can worth what to do. like if you're not able to afford your partner, like what to do in the 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 of the 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
8:50 am
working to 3 jobs and still not enough because the cost of living also has increased. let's say $3500.00. the one bedroom. it was way across the street apartment. yeah, they just, they just billed and they just opened them up. so that's a one bedroom, the $13500.00. that's what we have to deal with. so the dining sites, everybody around 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 is people, they can't co habits, he can't get along. so they can't. well, the next coming up relation apparently can live with 10 people into an apartment in
8:51 am
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 saying the same 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 patch the text messages. i gave her why the to text him is, do you already exist in the south? are you thinking about this? well, that was the right thing. one of them were there for people die room. so nearby. jack is the same way we met them there. they're still there putting up with the boys last week. um um and gave kelly. i think her name was there to give her. um what is that the uh,
8:52 am
the non non okay. thing have you guys seem to be fine and we i want to see this about time after one for 6 people that already passed away. now they learned on yeah, yeah. i know, i really don't know and, and then people go up missing and they don't even try sit and see nothing about it . you remember the letter one was the rabbit. she had where miss and i was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or with the jail as you folks come back and nobody knew where she was in need of 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 where about nothing. all the program i'm going to program and saw the plus is little bit like says 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. you can use this or is that stipulated?
8:53 am
as soon as i have the time, i'm so tired of move out. most people in my apartment, i do a medicine, but they're more and more people become seamless though there's none of the co bags and then they'll buy your bite and doesn't make things 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 either with that. you know, so this been a lot of money. you mean government government? yes. there's been a lot of money and the labor very little rent has just really taken off the
8:54 am
restrictions on how to rent have changed. they want you to have a deposit of, you know, same was sometimes what you put 3 months down or prove you can pay 3 months when you, you know, these, these are things that a lot of people wouldn't qualify for with good jobs. so they've made it so hard, is that a person with a pretty well paying job cleaning, cutting right 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'd have a safe place to live. you would have food, you would have a car. but now people are choosing, and we're talking about people is 40 or a week jobs are choosing to buy groceries or pay their brands. and we're talking single people. i can't imagine having a family what that would entail. so it wasn't always this unapproachable
8:55 am
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 work. does $1000000.00 a year. the sell a baby for me. oh, you're looking for low read our movies. because people come out here. father, i dream says the 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 working on manifest man. i made a visit
8:56 am
a minute 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 have a welcome to welcome to dreamland for james on through the amino 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 just shut down. it's hard, hard to go in every area, every neighborhood, everywhere, and seeing and countless play not fail even just guilty. you know that you're walking into a supermarket and you can buy or food or you can do and you can live. you have
8:57 am
a home, you know, the, there's no kindness in any city or say, 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 sense the subject looks good and then for the now i look good. thank you. so, but the people i always people good or for not like the room. right. all depends on the day. how can fit in going to bed in kenner through
8:58 am
dinner isn't center 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 be taken away. so it's very difficult. i know people that have retire with 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, and yes, there are certain programs 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
8:59 am
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 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 should we live in to the patient. we should be very careful about personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to make a trust rather than fit the various jobs. i mean with the artificial intelligence, we have somebody in the demon the robot must protect his phone. existence was on the,
9:00 am
with a guys facing almost other destruction from idea of strikes as well. now threatens to expand further and to the west bank, but according to last, the idea of operation. and janine only creates more resistance from palestine in the book. anything except for this particular vision to get to that list, you're open to the open prism of those spent time building for the better to be washington's enemy. then it's friend that the reaction to trump decision to designate the group as terrorist for a 2nd time after returning to the oval office, the theory as new h t us installed, foreign minister commiserate this tony blair, the former.
