And so she started costplaying this this hood rat, 65 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: and I think she's smarter than that. People don't believe 66 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: me because you've only seen this character of hers. This 67 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: is clip four one she was.

But then again, that's all she knows. 72 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 8: I don't think that honestly, policy is what we need 73 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 8: to be fining about, because guess what. Can't nobody tell 74 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 8: you what Donald Trump's policies were at all? Like you 75 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 8: asked him, like what policies?

No, 79 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 8: Donald said he knows nothing about. 80 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 6: That, and then what happened? 81 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 8: All the projects twenty twenty five started to come around. 82 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 8: So like, I don't even think that it's policy. 83 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 6: I think that people are voting on vibes. 84 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 2: Clip four O two, Asmin Crockett told a story about 85 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 2: how she decided to become an attorney. 86 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 6: I did Little Chaper Horrors. 87 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 7: So when I was in college at Rhodes in Memphis, 88 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 7: I ended up doing. 89 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 6: Little Shopper Horrors. What part did you play in that? 90 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 7: I was one of the women that was singing okay, Yes, 91 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 7: I was in the coorse okay, And so I ended 92 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 7: up doing it and the mock trial coach recruited me 93 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 7: to do mock. 94 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 6: Trial and I was like no, no, no. 95 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 7: By this time, I decided I was going to be 96 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 7: an accountant, didn't want to do ante season no more, 97 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 7: still didn't. 98 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 6: Want to talk to people. 99 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 7: So so then he goes, no, no, no, you shouldn't. 100 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 6: Do mock trial. 101 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 8: And I said that's for the kids going to law school. 102 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 8: Long story short, He recuits me. I do mock trial. 103 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 6: Just my senior year, I become a national All American. 104 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 7: He says, you should go to law school. So I applied, 105 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 7: got a full ride and said fine, if I don't 106 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 7: like it, all quit okay. 107 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: So that's how you decided to become a retterm because 108 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 2: you were good at mock trials. Well that's odd. Let's 109 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: go back in the way back machine. The twenty nineteen 110 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: credit goes to May's on Twitter and she said that 111 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: she was the victim of a hate crime or two. 112 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: You're not sure how many. Well that's funny. Did you 113 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: forget that story? 114 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 7: I had a great background as relates to my ability 115 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 7: to deal with numbers, and it was gonna pay well, 116 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 7: so I was like, I'll be an accountant. Unfortunately, around 117 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 7: my junior year, I was the victim of a hate 118 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 7: crime or two, and so were a group of my friends. 119 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 6: All at the same time. Cars were keyed with the 120 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 6: n word. 121 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 7: We received hate mail in our on campus mailboxes, and 122 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 7: at that time my school hired the Cochrane Firm and 123 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 7: there was a lawyer who graduated. 124 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 6: From University of Houston who was assigned to me. 125 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 7: And it was the first time in my life that 126 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 7: I felt helpless, and I was like, I want to 127 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 7: help people that are going through what I've just experienced. 128 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 7: At that point in time, I decided that I was 129 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 7: going to say for the l s. 130 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: At Crockett claims to have been the victim of a 131 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: series of hate crimes, and the media ran with it 132 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: because at that time she was running for Congress and 133 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: nobody was asking questions. One journalist, though, Tom Pappert of 134 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: the Tennessee Star, did some digging in May of twenty 135 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: twenty four, and then the headline came out, Jasmine Crockett 136 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 2: silent amid lack of evidence for alleged two thousand and 137 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: two hate crimes. Again credit to journalist Tom Pappert for that. Well. 138 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: Representative Jasmine Crockett did not respond to a Wednesday inquiry. 139 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: The article says from the Tennessee Star seeking more information 140 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: to corroborate her previous claim that she and seventeen students 141 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: suffered a series of hate crimes on the Rhodes College 142 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: campus in two thousand and two. Well, I won't read 143 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: you this whole article, but it's sad when these people 144 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: will lie about being a victim of a hate crime 145 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 2: because in some way it gives them credibility. That's really weird, 146 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: isn't it. I don't care if somebody doc streaks shoot. 147 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: You can't shoot at Michael. It's let's talk about health 148 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: for a moment, shall we. Let's talk about our government 149 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: and big corporations working together to kill Americans and make 150 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 2: us sick. Doctor J. Bodicharia, this is clippon Omer five 151 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: oh three more. I don't remember if we played this 152 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 2: the other day or not, but I want to play 153 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 2: this again because it's part of a series of things 154 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 2: I want to go back to back to back on. 155 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: He said that Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. 156 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: Kennedy JUNR, has asked him to initiate a study on 157 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: the cause of the rise in autism. 158 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 3: So I just wanted to make a couple of comments 159 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: about the role of the NIH in all this. One 160 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 3: of the major problems that I think that the parents 161 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 3: around the country have faced is when they go to 162 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: the scientific literature, they come back with a stone wall. 163 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 3: They hear that, well, the science hasn't been done, it's 164 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 3: not rigorous. And part of the problem is that scientists 165 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 3: are afraid to ask questions, basic questions that parents want 166 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 3: answers to. Secretory Kennedy has asked me to, for instance, 167 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 3: to initiate a study on autism, the cause of the 168 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 3: rise and autism. It's a question that is at the 169 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 3: front of the minds of so many parents across the 170 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 3: country worried about their kids, and yet scientific progress on 171 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 3: this has been slow because scientists are frankly scared to 172 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 3: ask the question. 173 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 2: The goal of my leadership the. 174 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 3: NIH is going to make it so that those questions 175 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 3: are no longer taboo among scientists. Scientists need to work 176 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: on the things that actually are at the top of 177 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 3: the minds of the American people. The mission of the 178 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 3: NIH is to do research that extends the life expectancy, 179 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 3: make and improves the health of the American people. And 180 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 3: that's exactly what we're going to do. For since twenty twelve, 181 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 3: the United States has seen no increase in life expectancy, none, 182 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 3: and it collapsed during the pandemic and only recently as 183 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: it started to come back up to twenty nineteen levels. 184 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 3: That is a situation that is a catastrophic failure of 185 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: the American public health system, and it's, frankly is also 186 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: a failure of American scientists to address the key drivers 187 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 3: of this enormous crime disease crisis we're facing. And I'm 188 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 3: really grateful to Secretary Kennedy for his leadership, and I'm 189 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: grateful to President Trump for his leadership in giving us 190 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 3: the opportunity to turn the ingenuity of American scientists to 191 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 3: the questions of how to improve American health and to 192 00:10:58,559 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 3: make American healthy again. 193 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: Now Here is skip down clip number six oh seven. 194 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 2: This is much respected, at least by me, doctor Peter 195 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: McCollough talking about autism was one in ten thousand when 196 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: I was a kid. It's now one in thirty six. Folks, 197 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 2: what are they doing to us? And why is nobody 198 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 2: asking any questions before this? 199 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 5: Autism was one in ten thousand when I was a kid. 200 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 5: It's now one in thirty six. It's the biggest epidemic 201 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 5: of childhood in US history. Autism is on fire right now. Sure, 202 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 5: we have greater screening and detection, but there is a 203 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 5: massive bona fide increase. What we know is it appears 204 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 5: to be associated with the expanding childhood vaccine schedule. Up 205 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 5: on the left, When I was a kid, you can 206 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 5: see that there was a what three shots nineteen sixty 207 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 5: Now at child today faces one hundred and eight shots 208 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 5: at one of the visits between age one and two. 209 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 5: There's thirteen shots administered altogether in children. And it's been 210 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 5: well demonstrated that if a child gets sick with a 211 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 5: big round of shots and they have a seizure, there's 212 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 5: about a forty percent chance that the brain is injured 213 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 5: and they develop autism. 214 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the COVID vaccine. Remember that folks were 215 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 2: kicked off of Facebook, including me or pointing out that 216 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: the COVID vaccine was not a vaccine and it could 217 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: kill you. Well, here's a flashback to leaked audio. Oh sorry, 218 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: leaked video. We have the video, but I can only 219 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: play you the audio, obviously of Mark Zuckerberg. This is 220 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: six oh five leaked video of Mark Zuckerberg warning his 221 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: staff not to take the COVID shot so you weren't 222 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: allowed to question it. On the page on Facebook, but 223 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: he's secretly telling his staff, don't y'all take. 224 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 10: That shots because. 225 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 9: Long term. 226 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 10: Modifying peoples. 227 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: Doctor Joseph Lodoppo, the Surgeon General of Florida, is a 228 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: guy that if you dig into what he says and does, 229 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 2: I think a lot of you would like him. He 230 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: pointed something out, this is where the rubber hits the road. 231 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: We can talk about what's going on Fox News and 232 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: all that, but this is what's really happening. He says. 233 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: Parents are struggling to find pediatricians because some pediatricians will 234 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: not treat kids who don't follow the CDC's exact quote 235 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 2: unquote vaccine schedule. They are bought and paid for by 236 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: big Pharma, and if you won't do what big Pharma does, 237 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 2: they won't see you as a doctor. That is it 238 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: is really an indictment of those people. 239 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 11: We here in the Department of Health so often about 240 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 11: certain themes, and one of those themes is moms and 241 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 11: dads who are having trouble finding a pediatrician because in 242 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 11: their area, the pediatricians will not see their kid if 243 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 11: they deviate at all from the vaccine schedule issued by 244 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 11: the CDC. And we are in a new era. There 245 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 11: are more people now asking questions about what's really best 246 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 11: for my kid. After the last few years we've been 247 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 11: in they're way more parents. Most of these parents aren't 248 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 11: even parents that don't want any vaccines. 249 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 6: For their kids. 250 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 11: That's the minority of the parents. Most of them are 251 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 11: parents who just don't feel like it's appropriate it's in 252 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 11: the best interest for their kid to get four vaccines 253 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 11: and one visit, which is part of the CDC schedule. 254 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 11: And there are pediatric practices I can tell you in 255 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 11: Penell's County, most of them they will not even entertain deviations. 256 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 11: So parents who just want to spread their vaccines out 257 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 11: because they think that's what's in the best interest for 258 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 11: their kid, and I find that very sympathetic. I am 259 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 11: very sympathetic to that cause. And some of these parents 260 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 11: have the resources. It's not easy to pay out a 261 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 11: pocket to see a doctor who will see their kid 262 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 11: and respect their preferences. Some of them have to travel far. 263 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 11: One of the senators we met with shared the story 264 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 11: of a close family member of his who actually has 265 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 11: to travel and talks to the senator about this because 266 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 11: this particular mom just wants to spread out the vaccines 267 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 11: or has some preferences that aren't in line with the CDCs. 268 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 11: So people are having to sometimes do extraordinary things because 269 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 11: they're trying to do what they think is best for 270 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 11: their kid. So I think it's important for those people 271 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 11: to be able to have access. Senator Davis quoted a 272 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 11: part of the Hippocratic Code Oath, which says, you know, 273 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 11: words that are about respecting and thinking about and caring 274 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 11: about your patient, right, the patient that you're taking care of, 275 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 11: not just steamrolling their preferences in because you think that 276 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 11: something else is a better idea. You parents, they have 277 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 11: it right. That's what it means to be a patient, 278 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 11: and that's what it means to be in a patient 279 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 11: position relationship. So thank you very much. 280 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 12: She was twelve, I was thirty, But anyway, it was 281 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 12: wonderful to have you, mister President. 282 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: The Michael Barry Shoe Turning Points USA is doing some 283 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 2: really good work these Daysie Charlie Kirk is out on 284 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 2: university campuses doing what Ben Shapiro used to do. I'm 285 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: glad for these young people that are willing to do this, 286 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: because I don't want to go out and have screaming 287 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 2: matches with these people I don't want to have to 288 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 2: expose the purple haired, crazy fat lady with a bone 289 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 2: through her nose that has daddy issues. It's mad at 290 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 2: Trump explain why everything she says is not true. But 291 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 2: thank god, there are people willing to do that, and 292 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 2: Charlie clirk Kirk has been doing that, and he's got 293 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 2: a team of folks, one of whom is named Savannah Hernandez. 294 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 2: I didn't know she was turning point. I don't know 295 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 2: why this showed up on my algorithm. Maybe because we 296 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: have an affiliate in Austin. My son's at UT. I 297 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 2: went to UT Law School, and I love Austin. I 298 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: know that When I say I love Austin to people 299 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 2: in Texas now they just roll their eyes because it's 300 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 2: so it's become like San Francisco. We love San Francisco. 301 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 2: My wife and I used to go and stay in 302 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 2: San Francisco. Austin and San Francisco were two of our 303 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: favorite season in the world, along with London, which is 304 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: now the United Caliphate is to the United Kingdom. But anyway, 305 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 2: back to my point, I come across this video and 306 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: this is the kind of work people need to be doing. 307 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it. I'm too lazy, I'm 308 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 2: not enterprising enough at this point in my career. But 309 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 2: thank god, people are willing to do this. So Savannah 310 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 2: Hernandez posted a video of herself and she says, I 311 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: found the Harm Reduction Center quote unquote that's handing out 312 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 2: free needles and glass pipes to drug users in Austin, Texas. 313 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 2: This is Austin becoming San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis. These 314 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 2: were once great cities that have now devolved into one 315 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: big pile of homeless crap and druggies and theft and violence. 316 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 2: And it's really sad because they were great cities. Anyway, 317 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 2: here is her story. It's three minutes long, a little 318 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: longer than might have intended, but I couldn't find a 319 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,239 Speaker 2: spot to cut it because it's so darned good. And 320 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: it'll be posted to our website and my Facebook. It's 321 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 2: already been posted to my Twitter, and then we'll talk 322 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: to Savannah after that. So here is her report. 323 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 12: Fernandez in Austin, Texas standing in front of the Texas 324 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 12: Harm Reduction Alliance. 325 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 4: Now, this is one of the places in. 326 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 12: Austin that is handing out free needles and free glass 327 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 12: pipes to drug users across the city. 328 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 4: And to be quite. 329 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 12: Honest with you guys, so many people kept telling me 330 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 12: that Austin's homeless and drug crisis was comparable to San. 331 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 4: Francisco or even Portland. 332 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 12: And I thought that was crazy until I started touring 333 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 12: some of these homeless encampments and there were exposed, dirty 334 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 12: needles everywhere. Now, after touring these encampments, of course, I 335 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 12: wanted to know where all of these needles were coming from. 336 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 4: And very similar to Portland. 337 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 12: And San Francisco, this organization is handing out free needles, 338 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 12: free pipes. They even gave me four different kinds depending 339 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 12: on which type of drug use you know, I. 340 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 4: Was interested in. 341 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 12: They also again are handing out narcan condoms, even the 342 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 12: cookers and the rubbers that anybody needs to use for 343 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 12: proper drug use. 344 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 4: These are very similar the. 345 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 12: Programs that have completely destroyed San Francisco, and I was 346 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 12: truly shocked to see this here. 347 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 4: In Austin, Texas. 348 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 12: Now, this area labels itself a safe space for drug users, 349 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 12: and when I came to this location to pick up 350 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 12: this arm reduction kit, there were so many people outside 351 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 12: of this area that were strung out on drugs. One 352 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 12: of the first things that I experienced in walking in 353 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 12: was a man who was screaming about how his life 354 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 12: was gang raped and enforced in team an abortion. The 355 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 12: staffers were kind of just listening to him talk and 356 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 12: then laughed him off. They took me to the back 357 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 12: and they gave me this big gag of supplies. And 358 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 12: once I was inside, there were so many signs on 359 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 12: the walls reading, Hey, you can use drugs in the bathroom, 360 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 12: just make sure to tell somebody, and basically. 361 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 4: Encouraging drug use. 362 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 12: Now, not only that, but a woman was sitting on 363 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 12: a couch and her dog apparently had gotten into her 364 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 12: drug supplies, so her dog was freaking out. 365 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 4: It was just a very chaotic environment. 366 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 12: And this is right next to other small businesses, by 367 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 12: the way, and we're also about a half a mile 368 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 12: away from which so I just wanted to give you 369 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 12: guys an example of some of the organizations that are 370 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 12: here in Austin. 371 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 4: I was truly shocked to see this. This isn't the. 372 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 12: Only one, by the way, there's another one called for 373 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 12: Vent Help Life Point. 374 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 4: They offer similar services. 375 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 12: I am just genuinely floored that the drug crisis in 376 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 12: the city has gotten this bad. I mean, I was 377 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 12: even sitting at a stoplight. I'm here to do a 378 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 12: documentary on the homeless crisis, and as I'm sitting, a 379 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 12: homeless woman comes and picks up what looks like a 380 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 12: weapon off of the ground, is threatening somebody and screaming 381 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 12: at somebody, and I'm just there at the stoplight with 382 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 12: other drivers. 383 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 4: She then is. 384 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 12: Starting to screen and point the weapon at us. We 385 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 12: can't go anywhere, We're just stuck. And this type of story. 386 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 4: Is very common in Austin. 387 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 12: So I just wanted to come highlight the various programs 388 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 12: that are being allowed to prosper here. Free needles, free narcan, 389 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 12: free cookers. 390 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 4: But it's just. 391 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 12: Disappointing because I have seen how these exact same programs 392 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 12: that completely destroyed San Francisco. 393 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 4: I've spoken to other addicts as well. 394 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 12: I can even say that these programs have destroyed their 395 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 12: cities and only enabled drug addiction, and even to homeless agree. 396 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 2: The liberal mindset is just give more drugs to mentally 397 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 2: ill people and that will solve all the problems. I 398 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 2: think our drug laws are crazy. I think we imprison 399 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: people from marijuana possession when we shouldn't. I think we 400 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 2: don't know how to cope with peoples, with people's desire 401 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 2: to escape their mind through alcohol and drugs. But this 402 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 2: is not the answer. Okay, we can all agree this 403 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 2: is not the answer. Savannah Hernandez is our guests. Savannah. 404 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: First of all, congratulations on your courage and fearlessness, which 405 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: is the greatest asset I think a person could have 406 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 2: doing what you do, and so few people do. And secondly, 407 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 2: this is really well done. I want people to see 408 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 2: the video that goes with it because it's fantastic. 409 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 6: Thank you so. 410 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 13: Much, Michael. I have been doing this for a long time, 411 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 13: so I've gotten very good at it. And you know, previously, 412 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 13: when I've done these types of reports, I've gotten physically 413 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 13: attacked by the homeless. So this is actually probably one 414 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 13: of the more relaxed cities that I've gone and reported in. 415 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 2: Well, what I appreciate is you don't you know sometimes 416 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 2: I feel like you're seeing something and you're smelling it 417 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 2: and you're feeling it, and it's tense, and there's anxiety 418 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 2: and fear and sadness and sickness in the air, and 419 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 2: so there is a desire to overdo the you. You 420 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 2: were very song freud. You just told the story without 421 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 2: raising your voice, without trying to hype us up, and 422 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 2: I think that gave you a lot of credibility. Do 423 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 2: you have a connection to Austin? What made you go 424 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 2: to Austin to do this? 425 00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: I do. 426 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 13: I've lived on and off in Austin since twenty eighteen, 427 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 13: and I actually lived there when they passed the initial 428 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 13: ordinance allowing public camping. So I really watched the city 429 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 13: completely devolve into grade as we opened that can of worms. 430 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 13: Now in twenty twenty one, they know the citizens revoked 431 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 13: that ordinance. They voted to no longer allow public camping 432 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 13: in Austin. But of course, once you start allowing public camping, 433 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 13: it's really hard to fix that problem. And Austin, which 434 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 13: is the fifth biggest city in Texas, comes in at 435 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 13: number one in terms of having the highest homeless population. 436 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 13: So this has been an issue for years that I've watched. 437 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 13: And I love Austin as well. I was born in Texas. 438 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 13: I've lived on and off in Austin. It's a beautiful city. 439 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 13: And like I said too in my report, I've gone 440 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 13: to Portland, I've gone to Seattle, San Francisco Kensington Avenue 441 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 13: in Philadelphia. So I've seen the direct result of not 442 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 13: only lacks homeless policies, but the drug crisis that eventually 443 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 13: ow He's entailed, and what's happening right now on the 444 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 13: West Coast is those cities Portland and San Francisco have 445 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 13: really had to reverse a lot of those lax policies 446 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 13: that they passed with homelessness and drug use because their 447 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 13: cities got so out of control. So again that's why 448 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 13: I really wanted to express my shock and concern. 449 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 2: That this whold Rut there, Savannah old Rut. There, Savanna Hernandez. 450 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: You can find her on Instagram, Twitter, probably everywhere else. 451 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 2: She's returning point USA. This report she's done out of Austin. Wow, 452 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 2: it is disturbing and enlightened. This class of the Rock 453 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 2: and Roll Hall of Fame is not the worst that 454 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 2: could be clear well, but did not include Oasis, and 455 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 2: there was a real pitch made by fans for them 456 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 2: to go into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 457 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 2: You can decide for yourself whether you believe they should 458 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 2: have or not. They were hot for a minute. I'll 459 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 2: tell you what you couldn't you talk about street people. 460 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 2: I lived in Austin in the early nine He's going 461 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 2: to law school, and then I went to England to 462 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 2: do another law degree. And I could tell you you 463 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 2: couldn't walk in London in the mid nineties when Wonderwall 464 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 2: was out. Every busker sitting out in front of every 465 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: bar in London or Ireland, or for that matter, Birmingham 466 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 2: or any other city Liverpool. They would sit outside the 467 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 2: bars and they would play. 468 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 6: This with their. 469 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 2: Guitar case open and people tossing coins in there. I 470 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 2: guess that's what makes some buskers right, I should have 471 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: I guess I don't need to say that, but this 472 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 2: was the song. It was not uncommon that you'd walk 473 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 2: down down an alley this song would be somebody be 474 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 2: playing this. You turn and somebody'd be somewhere else in 475 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 2: the song playing the same song halfway down. Savanna Hernandez, 476 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 2: where do you live now? 477 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 4: I'm currently living. 478 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 13: In San Antonio. 479 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 6: Again. 480 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 13: I did live in Austin, but it was a difficult 481 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 13: city to live in because not only is it really 482 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 13: turning into California in terms of how expensive it is, 483 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 13: but also in terms of the homeless and drug crisis. 484 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 13: It's actually a terrifying city to live in, which is 485 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 13: unfortunate for me to say. And again too, yeah, I 486 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 13: really try not to dramatize my reporting. I've really just 487 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 13: tried to tell people exactly how I'm feeling, what I'm seeing, 488 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 13: and more important, with other residents are experiencing. And I 489 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 13: think that the word terrifying is a fair one to 490 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 13: use because you do have residents being randomly attacked. 491 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 4: You have children that are now being. 492 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,959 Speaker 13: Exposed to open needles on Texas trails in Austin, on 493 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 13: the green Belt. I mean again, it's really sad to 494 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 13: see how San Francisco is slowly making its way over 495 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 13: to Texas. 496 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 2: You know, and for people outside of Texas who may 497 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 2: not know, I suppose most people do. Austin is a 498 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: special city in Texas, and I'm okay with that. It 499 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: was always far more liberal than the rest of Texas. 500 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 2: It was the cultural center, the epicenter of high culture, 501 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 2: artistic culture in state of Texas, art music, Sixth Street 502 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 2: and the bars can't go there anymore because the fights 503 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 2: and the filth. It's the state capitol, so it's kind 504 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 2: of the baton rouge of Louisiana. 505 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 10: You know. 506 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 2: You see this in and it's unfortunate. You know, have 507 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 2: the big university there. It was a play. And you 508 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 2: have topography, you have great topography in Austin. You have 509 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 2: the hill country we call it, and which would be 510 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 2: laughable for people who live in mountainous ranges, you know, 511 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: my Tennessee listeners would laugh. But for us, we like 512 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: it and it's it's wonderful. And then here you have 513 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 2: what they're calling a harm reduction center that is an attraction, 514 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 2: a nuisance that is ruining, ruining this town. Savanna, take 515 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 2: me through the moment. By the way, I love San 516 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 2: Antone going to San Anton this weekend. It's one of 517 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 2: my favorite cities in the world. I love San Anton. 518 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 2: Walk me through. You say, I walked down with a 519 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 2: bag of seventy needles, glass pipes, narcan, etc. So who 520 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 2: did you claim? Because I'm looking at you, you're a 521 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: very attractive woman, You're well put together, you don't look 522 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 2: like a street user. How were you able to go 523 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 2: in and walk out with all this stuff? 524 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 13: So I basically went in and I stated that we 525 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 13: were touring homeless encampments and we wanted to be able 526 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 13: to bring back supplies for the homeless. Right and this 527 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 13: is the bag of supplies that. 528 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 4: We were given. 529 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 13: I mean I was even as specifics of do you 530 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 13: know what type of needles the people that you're trying 531 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,239 Speaker 13: to help like using. And these are outreach programs that 532 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 13: happen all throughout Texas. The Texas Harm Reduction Alliance isn't 533 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 13: the only one. There is also another program that does 534 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 13: similar outreach services. And what they do is they go 535 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 13: to all of these hotspots throughout Austin. And when I 536 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 13: say hotspots, I mean drug deals are happening in these areas. 537 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 13: You have homeless encampments and they are essential bringing these 538 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 13: packs of needles, narcan cookers, those rubber tie offs for 539 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 13: their arms. Again, I had four different types of glass 540 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 13: pipes that they were handing out to clear drug addicts. 541 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 13: And as I walked up to the building, the entire 542 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,239 Speaker 13: area is completely surrounded by drug addicts. When I went 543 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 13: to the back, there was probably about forty or fifty 544 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 13: people actively on drugs. I think I told the story 545 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 13: in the report that you played as well that a 546 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 13: woman's dog had gotten into her drug supply, so the 547 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 13: dog is freaking out. So it was just a very 548 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 13: dark and chaotic environment. It was a dark energy. And 549 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 13: the most disturbing thing about this too is this area 550 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 13: is a half a mile away from a church. It's 551 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 13: actually half a mile away from the church that my 552 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 13: friend attends. I've gone to that church myself, and as 553 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 13: you were walking to church on Sunday, you were walking 554 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 13: past heaps of homeless people, not homeless people, drug users 555 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 13: who were sitting in alleyways who are surrounding the church. 556 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,719 Speaker 13: And you know, I spoke to my friend as well, 557 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 13: and he goes, yeah, I mean, it's not out of 558 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 13: the norm for my family and I to be accosted 559 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 13: or harassed by a drug user as we're walking to 560 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 13: church every Sunday. So again, I really wanted to bring 561 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 13: light and attention to this because there's a lot going 562 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 13: on in Texas right now in terms of, for example, 563 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 13: the mosques that are being built up north in Dallas 564 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 13: in the Frisco area, in terms of us just having 565 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 13: corrupted from the attorneys and district court judges that are 566 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 13: continuously allowing criminals out and allowing crime to prosper. In 567 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 13: the Houston area, and then in Austin you have this 568 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 13: huge homeless and drug crisis. So I wanted to really 569 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 13: just shine light on the fact that Texas. You know, 570 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 13: our model was supposed to be don't mess with Texas, 571 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 13: don't California, my Texas. And I'm trying to highlight how 572 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 13: we're not going downhill. We are kind of almost at 573 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 13: the bottom, and we really do need to start getting 574 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 13: this under control, because we do have a beautiful state, 575 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 13: but honestly, we are, we're really slipping lately. 576 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 2: Well. I think reports like this, a picture's worth a 577 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,959 Speaker 2: thousand words and a narrated video like this, especially because 578 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 2: I'm a father and you're closer to being my child's 579 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 2: age than you are mine. So I'm as a father 580 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 2: seeing this young lady in this situation and kind of cringing, thinking, 581 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 2: my goodness, I hope something doesn't happen. But it's important 582 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 2: that you've done this and you're in the midst of it, 583 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 2: and you're walking around and showing it to us, and 584 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 2: it really is I think it's important that people see this. 585 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 2: I guess my last question I got about a minute 586 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 2: before we go to break, has anybody the Governor's office, 587 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: the Lieutenant governor, has anybody in Texas government reached out 588 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 2: and said, hey, thanks for your report. Can we get 589 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 2: that video or anything else. 590 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 13: Nope, not as of now. I've had Tim Paxton's office 591 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 13: reach out on occasion, so I know that they have 592 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 13: their eye on my work, which I'm happy about. But 593 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 13: the Governor's office, Nope, nothing like that. 594 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 2: Well that's unfortunate. Savannah Hernandez, you are doing great work. 595 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 2: Please take care of yourself, be as safe as you can, 596 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 2: but continue to be fearless as you tell these stories, 597 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 2: because I do think it makes a difference. I really do. 598 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 2: Thank you for being our guests. 599 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 13: Thank you. 600 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 10: You know. 601 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 2: I see so many young people. I don't know how 602 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 2: this young lady is. I'm sure she probably appreciate being 603 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 2: called young by me. Nobody does. But I'm fifty four 604 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 2: and she seems very young. She seems a little bit 605 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 2: older than my kids. There's so many young people that 606 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 2: are doing good work now, and I think it's important 607 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,479 Speaker 2: that we not just paint with too broad a brush, 608 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 2: and that we give them an audience, that we promote 609 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 2: their work. This will be all over our site, and yeah, 610 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 2: I'd like more people to see what she's doing.
