➡ The speaker discusses the challenges of dealing with homelessness, emphasizing that it requires a tough approach. They criticize the current methods used in California, such as throwing money at the problem or enabling bad behavior, which they believe are ineffective. They also highlight the severity of the issue, mentioning the high number of homeless people in LA County and City, and the failure of initiatives like Proposition C in San Francisco. The speaker expresses frustration with those who oversimplify the issue, arguing that understanding the problem requires understanding the culture of homelessness.

➡ In California, many people are using RVs as permanent homes, turning regular streets into campsites. This has become a significant issue, especially in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles. In response, the city is introducing a new permit system, allowing current RV residents to stay for six months, with the possibility of renewal. The aim is to help these residents find more stable housing, but the situation remains challenging.

California was supposed to have saw for a long time ago. Make sure you guys hit a like for the algorithm, subscribe to the channel and turn on your notifications. We want to get straight to that language of the order from the White House so you can see a little bit of it for yourself. It says it is targeted at removing quote, they create individuals from our streets and redirects federal funds towards programs that tackle substance abuse. This order seeking to shift federal grant funding to states and cities that enforce prohibitions on urban camping, enforce prohibitions on drug use and adopt policies allowing people with serious mental illnesses or substance abuse disorders to be forced into treatment.

The governor responding to Trump’s new executive order saying it is more focused on creating distracting headlines than producing a positive impact. About a year ago, Newsom issued an order encouraging cities in the state to dismantle homeless encampments recently criticizing California cities and counties for not doing enough on this issue. I’m not interested in funding failure anymore. I’m not. I won’t. So you’re not interested in funding yourself because Gavin Newsom’s entire platform was built off of the idea that he was going to solve the homelessness problem in California. That’s a fact. Gavin Newsom’s entire campaign and platform was built around the idea that he was going to clean up homelessness in these cities and they’ve spent tens of billions of dollars in California and it has gotten absolutely worse.

So if you are saying you’re not interested in funding failure anymore, then you’re talking about yourself. This is a fact. I have been very, very vigilant on learning as much as I can about homelessness in California. I’ve been covering it for a long time on this particular platform. And now he’s sitting here criticizing the very thing that he said that he would solve. And so Trump is basically saying, listen, we’re going to redirect these funds and we’re not just going to give California a blank check in the name of homelessness anymore. What we’re going to do is that if people want to get off of the streets, then they’re going to have to join these programs that put them on a pathway to eventually being self-sustaining and not having to depend entirely on the system and living on the streets and destroying our streets.

That is basically what this executive order does. It redirects funds to force people to want to do better for themselves. If they want to continue to receive funding, this is the way that they got to do it. And I’m going to tell you, it’s 100% correct. And the reason why it’s correct is because if you deal with, if you’ve dealt with homelessness in any capacity whatsoever, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Anton, what are you talking about? The face of homelessness and the reasons why a lot of people don’t get off of it is because they don’t have any, they don’t, they’re not forced to.

So I’ll give you an example. Some people say, why are y’all living on the street? Well, we don’t have enough shelter. It’s shelter. It’s shelter, it’s resources, it’s funding, it’s pathways for people to get out of the situation. If you deal with most of these people, because I’ve done a lot of volunteer work, even today, I still go and visit and I give money and stuff like that. I will tell you, most people prefer to be on the streets because they don’t want to do what nobody tells them to do. Most people prefer to live on the streets, but people, these ultra liberal, liberal people that be sitting out here saying, oh, we could have solved homelessness.

No, you can’t. You’ll never solve it. You know why? Because they don’t want to be told what to do. They know that they can’t bring drug paraphernalia inside of a shelter in order for them to stay. They know that they can’t be high. They know that they ain’t going to be able to come and go as they please and they got to be in there all night or they can’t just come in at 12 o’clock, 1 o’clock in the morning. And so what they choose to do is to stay on the streets because they don’t want to be told what to do.

That is the honest to God truth. This is what I’ve seen. This is what I’ve worked with with my own personal eyes. They don’t like being told what to do. And so they’d be like, you know what, I’d rather be out here on the streets and sitting there, somebody telling me that I got to be in there about 12 o’clock at night. That’s the honest to goodness truth. And so you can’t, when you can’t, the only thing that you can do is you can control the funding and where the resources go. You cannot make anybody do what they don’t want to do.

I got to be in here by a certain time. I got to make sure that I do this in order to catch a shower. I got to be here in order to be able to get this food. Skip that. I’d rather be on the streets and I just hustle up myself a couple dollars in order to eat. That is the majority of people. They do not want to be told what to do. They don’t want to go to no substance abuse treatment programs. They don’t want to be worked with. Bro, this is how I know that being poor, that the poorer you are, the more difficult it is to work with people.

Every people inside of this chat that criticize rich people and they ain’t got a dollar today name living paycheck to paycheck, but they know every goddamn thing. They tell you about what it is. It’s happening in society. And it’s just funny because I’d be like, you don’t even know nothing. If you’re so smart, then how come you, how come you haven’t implemented it in your own life? If you’re so smart, if you know everything, it’s a system. Oh man, because this is a system. That’s why I’m not able to make no money. That’s why I’m not able to hold no job.

No, it’s because you got a bad attitude. It’s difficult for you to work with. You don’t want to be told what to do and you liable to go off on somebody every time somebody give you a direction or what somebody tell you that you need to do your job. That’s what it is. And what I’ve realized is that the poorer that you are, the more poverty stricken that you become all the way down to drug abuse and homelessness, the more belligerent people are. They will sit there and go off on you for not giving them some more money.

They’re not thankful. I’ve seen people and you know what I’m saying? Getting food in the food line or whatever. And they’d be like, give me some more. Oh my God. Oh my goodness. Hold on. Hold on. Y’all believe me. Go on. Mom. You’re a motherfucker. Mom. Older people, they different. They’re absolutely different. 100% different. Beep. Hey Anton. Hey, I’m on a live stream. I seen you had called me. What’d you need? Yeah, you need anything. I just needed to hear your voice. That’s all. Aw, you so sweet. I didn’t want to hear my son’s voice.

Besides me and on the last one. Wait a minute, we are on a live stream. Yeah, I’m on a live stream. Oh, I’m so sorry. No, you can’t. You can call me anytime. Thank you, my baby. Oh, that’s all I needed. Now I feel good. I feel better. You’re so sweet. How are you enjoying your vacation? Oh, I’m back home. But the vacation was amazing. Your Bermuda was the ship. All of it. Everything was absolutely fantastic. I’m glad that you had a good time. Hey, I got a question. Let me ask you a question. Yes, sir.

Remember when we were serving, I don’t know if you remember, but remember when we would serve homeless people? Yes, I do. I remember that. How was their attitudes when we served homeless people? Arrogant, entitled, very, very nasty. They wanted more. We was giving baskets of food out, and if it wasn’t what they wanted, when we came out that they had thrown it on the ground, literally, we were giving out blankets. And they were saying, because they was lined up, and we would give them, you don’t have no blue bag, because I don’t want this.

They were extremely entitled. We were feeding them hot food, and they were like, this is it. You ain’t got no such a such a no such a thing. Just give me the turkey then. Dang. You know, they was very, very, they were terrible. Terrible, the most entitled people I’ve ever seen or heard from. I didn’t know that they were that way until I actually dealt with them one-on-one, personally, face-to-face. I’ve already heard about myself, but it’s like, the more you do for them, the more they expect what you like to do.

Say what you want. Yep, I agree. All right, thanks, babe. I’ll call you back. Okay, bye-bye. Bye-bye. Listen, bro, listen. I know that some of y’all may not be familiar because you haven’t been in the trenches dealing with these people, but it is never, that’s why I’m so used to dealing with belligerent people on this livestream because I know how to deal with belligerent people in real life. In order to deal with a homeless person, not all, but most, overwhelmingly most, in order to deal with homeless people, overwhelmingly, you gotta be aggressive.

You have to be aggressive. In order to get homeless, the same way that it’s taken in order to deal with certain black people, in order to deal with homeless people, you gotta cut, you got it. You gotta cut through. Man, who the fuck you talking to? Man, if you don’t take this food and shut up, all right, all right, okay, all right. My bad, my bad. They’ll test you. They’ll try you. They will test you. You think that they just got there by mistake? They got a series of life-bad decisions and a series of bad attitudes that ultimately led them to this position.

You think that you gonna go out there on Thanksgiving or whatever? We serve homeless people. We give money. We deal with these people on a regular basis. I took my mom out there one day with me in order to help me in serving and stuff like that. And she was like, and time, this ain’t nothing but a bunch of demons out here that think that they know something. And I can’t believe, oh, look at how disrespectful he is. Oh my God, he threw that. He did this, he did that. I’m telling you, bro, some of the most evil people I’ve ever met in my entire life are dealing with people that don’t wanna be told what to do.

Ain’t gotta pop the piss in. Ain’t gotta damn to their name. And they will be 100% on 10 with you. They will cuss you out, call you a B to your face and throw your junk in the trash. You will have a brand new thing in the bag. Yo, listen, we was giving out these, we was giving out these sleeping bags, but it doubled as a coat. So when the daytime or, you know what I’m saying, whatever, if you get cold outside, it’s a coat and it’s like a big old bubble coat, but then it doubles as like a sleeping bag at night in order to keep you as sweet, as sweet as hell.

Man, them people was so disrespectful. And then, you know, because I’m downtown and so I’m able to see everything that’s going on, they’ll be over there inside of the corner, laid out on the street, cold as hell, ain’t got no socks on. You trying to help them, you’ll see them later on, they’ll be laid out. Cold in the mug. You tried to give them some shelter, they don’t care. They don’t care. They don’t care, bro. It is some of the hardest things to deal with. And so in order to understand a problem, you gotta understand the culture.

And what California has done up to this point is they’ve thrown a bunch of money at the wall and it don’t mean nothing. It don’t mean nothing. You try to get them into a drug pretreatment program, they don’t want drug treatment programs, they want needles. If you try to get them into a drug pretreatment program, they don’t want drug treatment programs. They don’t wanna get off that boy. They don’t want that monkey off they back. They want better needles so that they can do more drugs. So what we do as a culture is because we’re so weak.

Oh my God, I love homeless people, it’s so cold. Can’t believe Jeff Bezos makes so much money and he had a lavish wedding. We need to take more money from him and throw it all at the wall again. So what we do as a culture, we say, well, we gonna enable bad behavior. You’re not gonna force you into getting old, get yourself clean, you’re not gonna get things together. We just gonna enable bad behavior. Yeah, you niggas can go ahead and build some tents in front of all of the businesses. Y’all can throw Dookie on the street.

You can get some more needles, you give them needles, you’ll see more needles on the ground. Do you think these people is logical? You think these people are logical? It’s a system to where the people that get the money, they just making money because they holding on to positions and they pretending like they solving for the problem, they ain’t doing nothing, bro. Time to do your job. People are dying on their watch, dying on their watch. Look at these encampments. They’re a disgrace. They’ve been there years and years and years and years.

I’ve heard that same rhetoric for years. People are dying. We the worst governor ever. Back in May, the body of a mother and army veteran was found at a homeless encampment. Her death later ruled an accident due to drug use. 46 year old Lucretia Macias Barajas was found dead alongside the body of a man inside a sidewalk tent in the West Lake District near downtown LA. Neighbors said at least one of the bodies found in the tent had been partially eaten by dogs. If you lived outside of this yourself, if this was something you saw every time you had to step out, invite your neighbors, invite your family in, then you would see reality extremely differently.

This is not, this isn’t something that belongs right here in Los Angeles. This is durable country problems. People are dying. New numbers were linked. Look at that. Do y’all see that? It’s this past week. Show the number of homeless people in our region has decreased for a second year in a row, but that small decline is not to minimize the crisis we’re dealing with here in our area. And we’re going to bring up some numbers in order for you to see exactly that. Lhasa, finding an- And this is not a decrease, okay? This is showing you the difference between how many homeless people are in LA County and versus how many people are in LA City, okay? The county versus the city.

This is not a decrease in homelessness. This is how many people that they estimate are living homeless. Now that don’t also have anything to do with RV campers, van life, none of them people. LA County, there are an estimated whopping 72,000 people experiencing homelessness. That is again in LA County. And here in the city, the count is over 43,000. Even so, local officials calling the decline a victory. We believe that the drops in unsheltered homelessness in the city and the county are a direct result of their encampment resolution efforts. Over the last two years, our leaders came together to bring people inside.

These people are spending billions and I mean billions and billions and billions and billions of people, they are spending an enormous, an enormous amount of resources trying to solve, allegedly solve for this problem and it’s not making a denture. A commercial move to address this in San Francisco, banning RVs from being parked on the city streets for more than a couple of hours past. NBC, Mary Sinek and Tana has more from City Hall where that just happened. During an event on the steps of San Francisco City Hall, some people wore black veils.

They say one provision the board of supervisors is considering today represents the death of democracy. Fight, fight, fight, housing is a human right. Fight, fight, fight, housing is a human right. I hate these people and with every fiber in my body, these people aggravate me so much. I can’t stand these type of people. They just, they make my skin crawl, bro. They genuinely make my skin crawl. They aggravate me so high to the highest of positivity is just annoying. It’s just annoying for no reason at all. They just be out there just doing stuff.

Honest to God, bro. Fight, fight, fight, housing is a human right. Shut the hell up, bro. Don’t know nothing about what’s happening, bro. Just aggravate me. Aggravate me so much, bro. Hey! Proposition C was passed in 2018 and allocates certain taxes collected from large businesses in the city to be spent on homelessness initiatives. Half of that money is earmarked for permanent supportive housing. The rest goes to mental health, homeless prevention, and temporary shelters. Any changes to that mix of spending would need a super majority of the board of supervisors to approve.

Today’s vote changes that to a simple majority. Homeless advocates say that goes against the will of the voters who overwhelmingly approved prophecy in 2018. When 61% of San Franciscans voted to support our city, our home, they did so knowing what this measure would do, which was dedicate funding largely to housing. Mayor Daniel Lurie wants to allocate some money from permanent supportive housing to his scaled back plan for more temporary shelter beds. The second issue this group is rallying against is a change to the city’s parking code for large vehicles like RVs.

The ordinance seeks to limit parking to only two hours across the city. So basically what you see in a lot of these places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, so on and so forth, is you see a lot of people that basically permanently park their RVs in places, and it has now become a campsite. Regular, regular, everyday locations on the street in California, which includes San Francisco and Los Angeles, they have become campsites. People have, boy, if something move, something is coming in to take its place immediately, immediately, RVs have turned into campsites.

Some of these RVs don’t even move. Some of these RVs have not moved. They are basically the housing location of a lot of places. It’s crazy, ain’t it? Insane. Y’all know how I feel about van life, right? Y’all know how I feel about van life, right? Amazing. Amazing, it is bad, it is bad. Some of these places, y’all know how much I love it out here in California. Can’t wait to get home tomorrow, but y’all know how much I love it here in California. Some of these places, it’s not even worth going, bro.

It’s not even worth going. It ain’t like the campers, it ain’t like the big RVs that you’re going across country, and these is permanent housing for a lot of these people. Instead of the current overnight limit in some neighborhoods. You think that that place had moved? That van ain’t moved, that truck ain’t moved, ain’t nothing moved. Amazon had to put up a fence. You see the Amazon big warehouse facility right there? Amazon put up a fence because it had to start protecting its own property from the stuff that these van life people are doing.

This policy is not an anti-homelessness policy. This is an anti-homeless people policy. It’s designed to drive us out because they don’t like seeing us, they don’t like us being around, they don’t like us being on the street. Homeless advocates say both measures represent a sharp turn in the way City Hall will deal with the unhoused in San Francisco. Supervisor Mirna Melgar is a co-sponsor of the RV policy. She says people already in the city can continue living in their RVs for a while at least with a new permit. So that folks who are already in San Francisco can get a sticker to be able to remain on the street for six months and renewable after those six months.

The hope is the current 427 RV residents can figure out how to get more permanent housing in the city or elsewhere. The full board of supervisors approve both measures. Yeah, California when it comes to homelessness is a mess and it is, it’s just a mess. You say, isn’t this how hippies live? It’s 100%
