6:35 pm
corporate driving the, the rates up 6 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 landlord. 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 like corporate landlords don't 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 board wiser. and the price goes up a dollar every day because 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

6:40 pm
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 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 shut 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 have your the hutch down. they have fox, our 2nd. yeah, it's always good. we get a hot you on homeless that my god apply fresh shower to yes, i'd be a get a break. so the differences,
6:41 pm
economic differences between groups, race groups, particular are huge. and he 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 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 to district
6:42 pm
of los angeles, this one, the most underserved communities in los angeles. atlanta immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english or we have here and 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 was 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. these are fresh vegetables. they were picked yesterday, so you're not gonna make buying any, any fresh or uh,
6:43 pm
products done here. and they do serve it the people they 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 1898 of the united states won the war again, spain and gain control of the philippines. the people of the philippines held that the americans would help over throw spanish rule and to grant independence to the country. but the united states was by no means willing to give freedom to the philippines and size as just another colony. 1999. the filipinos began
6:44 pm
armed resistance to the new occupied american troops were barely able to occupy the territory of the philippine republic. but that bade 3, it started a desperate the rail of war. washington was forced, as in new reinforcements and triple the number of its troops on the islands. the us army suffered heavy losses. the americans took it out on the population. general jacob smith in revenge for the gorilla attack on the garrison in the city of fall on ega porter to kill everyone over 10 years old. the monstrous gulf of terror, according to the most conservative estimates, lead to the death of about 200000 filipino. the americans managed to suppress the gorilla as only 14 years after the beginning of the war. but the united states was not able to stop the national liberation struggle of the filipino peoples in 1946.
6:45 pm
after the decades of the dramatic ordeal, the philippines was finally able to achieve independence. the as promised, donald trump is off to the races. the new president is not waste the time and doing biting legacy and moving ahead with such issues. as for migration, he has a mandate to govern any cheapest diverse space behind him and will the ruling and we submit the homeless. his home is the we're, i have a problem is only about $0.50 a month right for him enjoy. holding for 6262 homeless for a while. that's in you for many years. see 10 years. so i'm just people who like to go ahead and post on the opposite prayer had fetched deal. we're
6:46 pm
here to help with on getting some really low version. you 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 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 real right now. we'll go through the ones the last. i know how do i i just leave my hands chargeable
6:47 pm
6:48 pm
6:49 pm
yeah. hard. i are able to see all the flight to afford a place here. not many people can went to work to do like if you were not able to afford park, you know 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 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 as i say,
6:50 pm
$3500.00 the 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. that's what we have to deal with. so the data takes everybody along here, the whole community and all the prices go up. when 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 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.
6:51 pm
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 the body to text them is, do you already exist in the shelves? are you thinking about this? well, that was the right thing. one of the houses were there for people die room. so nearby jack is the same way. we met them there. they're still there, but didn't up was supposed to last week and gave kelly. i think her name was day or the give her um what is the the, the non non warranty in regards to to be fine. and we, i want to see this about time after was for 6 people didn't already pass the they
6:52 pm
learned 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 share with miss and then they was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or went to jail as she spoke to somebody. 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 uh where about nothing. all the program i'm going to program and all sorts of plus is little bit like says to name that way. so let's say do 1520 percent of what your income is that by your rent, up in the 30 a month. what is your, your income you, sir, is that as soon as i have the time to try to move out, most people in my apartment, i do a medicine crap. and then more and more people become stainless,
6:53 pm
though they see none of the co bags. and then they'll buy, it doesn't make me better as a governor. so the landlord 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 of that. you know, so they spend a lot of money. you mean government government? yes. they spend a lot of money. and the labor 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 was sometimes what you put 3 months down or prove you can pay 3 months when
6:54 pm
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 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 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 without food. you would have a car, but now people are choosing and we're talking about people with 40 hour week jobs are choosing to buy groceries or pay their rents. and we're taking 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 guys
6:55 pm
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 for me. i'll be looking for low read our movies because people come out here. father dreams says their dreams. obviously, 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 that i met of as women. if there's a right now already body for me. i'll look at it. i visualize it. i know the address . i mean, that's the way it lies about me. when you see the houses you'll see me in it,
6:56 pm
is len this house for me. welcome to welcome to hollywood local. now i welcome to welcome to dreamland. for dreams, come through the . i mean, no, honestly, it's probably hard to live it red 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 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,
6:57 pm
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 to go. now i would think so, but the people i always people good or to bring the room right. the all depends on the day. how can fit in going to look bad in kenner, right, we'll generate some of them are well through
6:58 pm
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'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 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,
6:59 pm
but the labor very little or nothing. the . the cover the both are you have a risk taking notes in this region. what do you need for this is of the people. this is the as the volume in gorgeous. joining us to find out how the rich local coal just size see the close press and zones is that it is passed down from generation to generation or
