9:30 am
the, the nice, the, what so striking for me is this contrast in california where some people are so resumed. other people are barely making. and that's a, that's a call cost of the whole united states that there's of worried about for, for, i don't know, $400.00 people that have all the more income than all of us together. you lose a physical 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 son's control people. that's a way of controlling people. you know, power and money. everyone should have had these housing fields. 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

a lot of slot most people are homeless then. then the houses are nice and co sign you up telephones. where are you from new york one year on so you can see it for work. so i can fax cuz my girls tend to take the little overdose all set overdose and have to come back to the greyhound. 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 officer and not joe is, well, i can't handle it. the new system can handle, you know, then i'd strongly mind it. and if you want to be realistic, realistic about the problem 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 better knees and other drugs to a misdemeanors. well,
9:34 am
good. did that do as good yourself. good to be able to do more drugs easier because this here 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 in gauge range, children's wise, like smoking is crap, albany open. and you give them a ticket and you walk away what. how is that change it any that he just goes, gets more and just does it again. it's like we don't care or respect the human of the human race. but when we 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 said 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?
9:35 am
says here with, with a so definitely notice there's a huge difference between the rich and the full on new existing. well, i didn't know existed to the level of did i know it's very high. i'm experiencing it 1st time. this is, you know, quite trouble. i've heard so i've heard of skid row. i don't know much about it 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 to you so, but i don't help you know, what's your money? i do a bunch of stuff to help your people get better and then we look into it and then you guys come over here is walter, treat everything perfect because may be going so much of that. the says, well,
9:36 am
the way i've seen it all over the last 20 on 29 now, but obviously grew up watching american television. all of that stuff. what we see on screen here is like, oh sorry from that is more like a perfect image. everything when we start going in depth and searching stuff up and seeing what was actually going on, it's completely different story. i guess what's really interesting is people here and much more neglect. it's been over that. then i can just see i've been every single state who i speak to some years and over the last some years. what was what used to be a partial problem of families here and there. now it is because it's such a big problem. ringback so we're kind of the, uh, you know, the heart of skid row, we're on 5th then. well, so on the north side, that's a mission. they have room for our own 600 people party to families. you know,
9:37 am
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 narcanon fentanyl district because that is a significant number of overdose. those that happen daily. you know, skilled role like a lot of people, you know, don't understand what actually skid row is 54 law 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 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 to be down there. so there are
9:38 am
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 street ended 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 drop them off on skid row. that was 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 when i'm out here, i'm not even flying for money for itself. mostly just out here,
9:39 am
just people watching like watching a television. oh is full of good, interesting television because there's a bunch of weirdos and some beads in her folder in words. it almost looks like walking zombies from the movies. like it's gonna pop up in there. i don't know, but now, but being on the real tip on that, it's bet no it attacks the most. those 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 folded in half have a slip, right? no 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 total of exhausting and frustration to i
9:40 am
can't get a hold of my family holidays 4 years old and i looked like them probably 60 because of what the streets of done. this is i. it's tiring. i'm so tired, i tried to go to the hospital because i got these stores. when my hands from the shit they're putting in the, in the, in the medicine and the drugs is the, you know, i don't, i don't usually need to utilize or anything like that. i don't understand what's going on with this. you know, it's, it's only select people there. they're destroying me. little bits at a time. rather disturbing the military. i was with the marine corps, specifically more saw a little bit in libya. smaller. you have the people in small entry, each other veterans and we treat each other here on the street. certainly this is
9:41 am
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 divides all the bad people who hurt people what 0 get raped and the only way and when i tried to get the guy off of her, i was attacked by his homeboys. they broke for my ridge. uh they split my lip open. i mean like they supposed to be a pretty good excuse my language. the so sensor bare users children with the little uh like 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
9:42 am
fairly see in your lives because this person, this person in light says, and now you're going to go and do that just because your friend and you want to be accepted, recognized cj for low, understood as 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 intelligent 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 notice and then maybe it might be a different story. is kind of cute, being short stubby like sometimes you don't even know where to go. sleep. watch it . you know you to walk into a town. you don't know where to spot is, don't know where you could pop it up and be safe. still not to serve his place, it was world, it's made of cloth and easy,
9:43 am
nice could cut through it. but what they don't know is i don't how to my girl is. 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 dorm sticks where she's not afraid to come out of the tent and bash. i'm of you know, i would do that because i just don't like violets at all. it's my home is where i lived every single night, the,
9:44 am
the 1935 fascist italy, led by dictator benito mussolini decided to expand its colonial empire in africa and take over the opium. by that time l. b, a was the only fully independent state on the continent. back in 1896, its inhabitants were able to defeat via daily and colonists, and defend their independence. since then, rome craved for revenge for the humiliating defeat. in the morning of october, 3, 1935. without any announcement, the foxes attacked ethiopia and bombarded it most severely. d. d o. b an armed forces bod, courageously, but the root cavity value and knew no bounds. they use not only massive bombing attacks on civilians, but also the chemical weapons toxic gas is this james the course of the war?
9:45 am
as a result of the occupation of ethiopia, by the fastest 760000 people were killed. the capture of the african state was committed with europe's tacit approval. britain and france recognize the annexation, giving the green light to a further fastest expansion in the world, and paving the way for the outbreak of world war 2. the . maybe we could do a little interview with, oh my god, let's say the car right here waiting on the chair, right. so you barely hear. i am grateful for the look here.
9:46 am
see me in the right. you have to have places like there's 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 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, she's going to school down the street. and i need some beautiful sight to see that . and, and we have, uh, we admire 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,
9:47 am
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 age of, uh 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 uh, they have certain amount of units that are specifically for people that don't have homes. so we work with them and, and place them. if we have any openings, you know that you may go to whoever it may be applying, but application has come really fast and, and the fills up fast. we have other buildings that which is bots 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 the city that now we can actually provide housing a much cheaper than what the city is doing. the city spends
9:48 am
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 on the place to where we offer here you pay close to $2000.00 for a studio unit with a bathroom and the kitchen area. so pretty much less than half a month. the other thing let's book is 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 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 there.
9:49 am
yeah. can you go in any city or state? they have cranes there just over building. i mean, some of those buildings are left empty and we have, 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 a 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 teen, are you here? we get a, have a family and you'd be able to get a house and, and we've just been this progressive thing. i don't think that's happening for most
9:50 am
anymore. the wailing season. yeah. use my own i use i love the sea so my dream is to one day have a place in my own with my husband and be either running i know coram, or working at one room 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 the dolphins and any day to have a spot for the crabs, and the clams and the, the oysters, you know, just be those. you actually can raise them and they can give you pearls, clams,
9:51 am
and oysters. they get, they give you pearls. if you have enough sand at the bottom, the much more help you with that. because they don't get to, to worry about. i got 0 stressors. how about you? you as any home? indeed, i'm going to suppressors. do you have to 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 like parity and then decide, you know, one we,
9:52 am
because you're not so dark, you're ok or more. we do a little more dress nicer. you're all right. judge scheduled laval, how people should look dressed at it, all those aspects. it's clone 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 care system in the us become homeless at some point in their life. when they exit after they turn 21,
9:53 am
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 addiction. or 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 late aim like your income match, the cost of living back in my time, but it doesn't match anymore. in fact, i've heard that in certain scandinavian countries, they have a cap on their for the minimum that you can get. which is like, i say, a $22.00 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, 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
9:54 am
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 prophets. we have more building. there is now the neighbor before i get, we have more people living in poverty and extreme poverty than ever before. 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 next, during the,
9:55 am
by the not in put in us against each other, you know, the republicans said 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 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, which is spare change to words, put together. you basically make a sign. you fly, walking down either a median or you sit on
9:56 am
a street corner and hope to make money. what can way of like the most successful day? i made a 100 bucks on his corner. i shouldn't be really. 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 neighbor 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.
9:57 am
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 should be there for you while it's happening. like i said, we're worst critics. we'll beat ourself. make things harder than what it should be . it's not that it's not that hard money. i'm sorry. we're good. oh, pressure. the
9:58 am
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? i got an attacked inside of the target last night. i just got a tired so you have my bike so 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 a 1941 with the nazis health relation, ultra nationalist. the astonishes the claim,
9:59 am
the independent state of croatia, shortly on the seizing power. they build the scene of us concentration camp, a place associated with the worst atrocities committed in yugoslavia during world war 2. use dash is used to come system to isolate and exterminate subs, roma, jews, and other non catholic minorities, and political opponents of the fascist regime. conditions in the scene of us come with a renders the gods tortured to arise and the prisoners. they sent them a consultation temps. so most of them died. it was incredible genocide. the
10:00 am
the with the idea of the destruction of gaza near lake complaints after 15 months of strikes as well. now threatens to expand further into the west bank, but according to him, us, the idea of operation engineering only creates more resistance from house to in, in the business. leave us between the put is this to get to the situation to get the list. if you open printers on open present with those funds, i've gotten better to the washington's enemy, then it's friend. that's because the reaction to trump decision to designate the group as to terrorist for a 2nd time after returning it to the oval office. there is new age t s installed for ministers seems to have a change of heart and during his interview.
