1 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: Does the injustice and indifferent stop in the world. In 2 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: a word, No, We left off telling how the older 3 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: police are terrorizing and intimidating the people who are protesting 4 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: the evil king. This episode is the March of the resistance, 5 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,319 Speaker 1: and we have she Rose and heroes explaining why it's 6 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: necessary to take a stand against cruelty and injustice. There 7 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: is an old story about a village being terrorized by bandits. 8 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: They placed their trust and money in the protection of 9 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: a dragon. They fled the dragon, and as such he 10 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: grew huge and irascible. In the end, he terrorized the villagers, 11 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: so they had to find new heroes and she Rose 12 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: to get what they was rightfully theirs. However, the dragon 13 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: was cunning. He sent people to disrupt their efforts, and 14 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: he blamed them for their victimization. So factions were drawn, 15 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: and many died, and many were scared. Some joined the dragon, 16 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: admonishing that if they just put their heads down or 17 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: put themselves together by their bootstraps and served up the 18 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: savings that they were supposed to have, they would not 19 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: be starving. This episode shows the blind trust by mainstream 20 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: media on how to care for the unhoused and the 21 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: housing insecure. We would show that the protests that are 22 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: on May first, which is also Mayda, and how the 23 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: lines blurred on the key architect to all of the 24 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: protest tests poverty courtesy of capitalism. Capitalism is the astounding 25 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: belief like the most wicked of men will do the 26 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: most wicked of things for the greatest good of everyone. 27 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: So damn, hey, hey, Dan, you can I ask a 28 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: few questions. What's going on? We're uh, we're here in 29 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: support of our comrades upstairs. Okay, I don't know if 30 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: they gave him the same room that you were staying 31 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: in last week. Von went he's checking out a room 32 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: upstairs right now, and uh, they let him see it, 33 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: and so now he's not gonna leave. I want to 34 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: stay until until they agree to let everyone in the hotel. 35 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: So that's the direct action. So what are your thoughts 36 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: on that? You think that's great? I think it's great 37 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: up here to support it, so excellent. What do you think? 38 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: What's your opinion on the situation. I noticed you guys 39 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: are caring to sign. What's the sign? He said? Carline 40 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: is just a mayor CORSETI coming here. That's mad for 41 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: the young house now and now we feel, you know, 42 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: it's yer Carciti's really going to step up his powers. 43 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: But what are the naysayers are saying that that he 44 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: has to open up some hotels? What is your thoughts 45 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: on that. I think some is not all and it's 46 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: not enough. He's got to do better and he's got 47 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: a bit more. I'm trying. Thank you, thank you. Oh, 48 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: I see you have a sign howse for the all 49 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: a house people. That's that warms my heart for weeding 50 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: in house as well. So can you let the audience 51 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: know who you are first? Yeah, my name is Stanny. 52 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm with Street Watch. So tell me what what brought 53 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: you out here? And it's lovely Friday day. Well, I'm 54 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: just really inspired by devonn occupying this hotel. I think 55 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: it's the right thing to do. I think it's what 56 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: we have to do. I think that direct action is 57 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: the only way that we're going to force our set 58 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: to actually open up all these vacant hotel rooms. And 59 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: it's absolutely necessary. People are dying. It's a life and 60 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: death situation. What do you think about mainstream media's lack 61 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: of coverage of this? They're saying that the mayor is 62 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: already doing this. This is not news or this is 63 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: not sexy enough for them to cover this on the 64 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: front page. I think the mainstream media has always been 65 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: unfriendly to activists and to people who are trying to 66 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: change the narrative. And I think that as much as 67 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: we can get the word out, that's really powerful, because 68 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: we just need to get people to understand that Garcetti 69 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: isn't doing He's not housing on house people. He's moving 70 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: incredibly slow and his pace is killing people. And so 71 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: I think the more that we can produce our voices 72 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: and do these actions, the more powerful view. I heard 73 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: recently that they out there in Venice they are arresting 74 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: an tikety on house people still and doing sleeps. Is 75 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: do you think that that would stop if they had 76 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: hotel rooms? I sure hope. So wow, yep, thank you 77 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: very much. Annie. This is THEO Henderson from Widian House 78 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: and more to follow. We're just gonna mill around a 79 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: little bit and see what other uh direct actions or 80 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: the other people we could interview. H m hm h h. Yeah. 81 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: This is THEO Henderson from Widien House, and I'm interviewing 82 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: one of the directives here. His name is Phoenix, so 83 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: welcome up. Hey, what's going on? So tell me what's 84 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: your what's your take on the situation? You know, I 85 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: think it's just uh, you know, it's control. Uh, you know. 86 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: The sadest event is to say, uh, you know, the 87 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: powers that be the of you homelessness as a business. 88 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: So more people that are out, you know what I'm saying, 89 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: You can create more shelters and create more quote unquote 90 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: organizations that help the people. But really what's happening is 91 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: you're creating a revolving door situation. So by having people 92 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: going through that revolving door, it's just more profitable. How 93 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: did you get involved in it? Well, I met Devin 94 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: and I'm in a lot of the other Yeah Go Park, 95 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: the other homies at Echo Park. Really it started with 96 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: with the cops just constantly bothering us, and at one 97 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: point it escalated to where they were physically taking out 98 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: and taking their food and tables and things like that. 99 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: So from there I joined the protests with them. Then 100 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: I recorded when Devan got arrested violently. Luckily he was released, 101 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: and so it just kind of it just kind of 102 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: went from there. We all we all had a common ground. 103 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: We were tired to be talked with. Excuse the language, 104 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: but and you know, retired to the cops screwing with 105 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: us and to put our heads together and from there, 106 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, we've just been holding it down. Are you 107 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: in favor of hotels or shelters? Definitely hotels. The thing 108 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: with shelters and conditions are terrible. A lot of these 109 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: shelters you have cockroaches, rats, things of that such. Not 110 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: only that they're not taking into account people had mental 111 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: uh you know, disorders and things going on. So there's 112 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, there's some people that they need a room 113 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: to themselves, you know what I'm saying, and putting having 114 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: eighty to one hundred to you know, however, many people 115 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: in one room, you know, it's just not it's not 116 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,239 Speaker 1: it's not copathetic, you know what I'm saying. I found 117 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: sometimes the staff could be definitely definitely challenging, or the 118 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: rules that shelters could be difficult too, what do you think? 119 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,679 Speaker 1: But definitely I had a friend stay at the Union 120 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: Rescue Mission and within the first half hour he was bullied. 121 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: Things are still from them, all these being harassed in 122 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: the bathrooms and the shelter staff kind of just turn 123 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: black eyes to it. You know what Union's rescue mission 124 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: right now that they have the shelter shut down because 125 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: over we'll say eighty percent of the residents having COVID nineteen. 126 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: So the perfect perfect example. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it's 127 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's one of those things where you know, 128 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: if you're gonna institute policies of having us wear masks, 129 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: having us to this, you got to be bounced on 130 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: the other side by by leaving people out in the 131 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: streets or putting them in the shelter that you said 132 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: at the close proximity, you put people in danger. And 133 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: one of the last things I wanted to talk about 134 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: is that why do you think that people are still 135 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: open for particularly all the counselor numbers, with the exception 136 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: of four of them, I'm open for police officers continually 137 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: sweeping people during COVID nineteen. You know, I think it 138 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: comes to a lot of it is a lack of 139 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: an education, a lack of educations here just mean some people, 140 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, they just they're only gonna see the you know, 141 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: they see the cops as what they're just doing their job, 142 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: and you know, they're seeing what they want to see basically. 143 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: And the thing is Okay, yeah, you know, they're here 144 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: to uphold the law whatever. But it gets to a 145 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: point where there's certain lines are being crossed and certain 146 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: freedoms are being uh you know, fucked with. Then that's 147 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: we as people have a right to stand up for ours, 148 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it goes it's a 149 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: yin and yang balance. You know, you guys are gonn 150 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: uphold the law. But at the same time, if you 151 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: guys screw with us, we're solving citizens. We have the 152 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: right to say no, you know what I'm saying. So 153 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: one of the lasses, what would you want. What's the 154 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: best way for us to help you?

It's easy to go on social media and 158 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: put a post or put a picture, but you know, 159 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: as these people are doing today, you know, coming out 160 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: to the movements, speaking to the action, speaking with your dollars.

You get to a certain 163 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: amount of numbers, it's gonna get to a point of 164 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: the city has a choice.

More to follow. Thank you for listening, and 172 00:10:53,160 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: maybe we're getting media in the light of understanding. This 173 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: is Deil Henderson from Winding and House. We're right live 174 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: and at five as you uhould say the direct action 175 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: with Javon, who's occupying a hotel here, you refuse us 176 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: to leave, to give a message to Americ car sitting 177 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: to pick up the pace and I'll open up these 178 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: hotel rooms. These either hotels and bags or body bags. 179 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: It's this choice. So where right now? I'm gonna interview 180 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: Johanna Swan which street watch and she's gonna tell me 181 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: what her perspective is. And I like, let's start with 182 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 1: the poster. What is this people over property? No vacancy. Oh, 183 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: ninety seven thousand hotel rooms in LA. You need to 184 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: housey at house now so we know what your perspective is. 185 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: So he needs to house the end house, but more 186 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: importantly needs to commandeer the hotel rooms. Because what he's 187 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: saying is weak sauce mayor start that he is saying 188 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: they can't do enough. They love to do this. The 189 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: city council members also do this, Oh, we don't have 190 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: the power to help, when in fact they do, and 191 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: they're just being cowardly and bought out by the very 192 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: people that own and run these establishments like these luxury hotels. 193 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: What about his weak sauce excuse about they don't have 194 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: the staff to staff. Well, that's another important issue that 195 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: we're fighting for. You know, we're fighting for working class workers, 196 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: people that need jobs. Right now. Hotel workers are losing 197 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: their jobs. They're in danger of also losing their homes 198 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: because of that, and if they had any ounce of 199 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: imagination or creativity, our electeds would be able to help 200 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 1: us solve this problem. If we, through mutual aid, can 201 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: figure out ways to help each other without getting paid, 202 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: then our city officials should be able to do that 203 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: for the folks that have already been doing those jobs. 204 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: Today is may day. Can you tell us do you 205 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: think this aligance with may Day's may Day's objectives. Absolutely, 206 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: this is a working class issue. This is a race issue, 207 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: this is a gender issue. This is an issue that 208 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: affects all workers and all people in this country. And 209 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: in fact, it even affects rich people because the folks 210 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: that are suffering on the streets right now are in 211 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: danger of harboring the disease that so many people are 212 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: afraid of right now. So what benefits everyone and what 213 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: leads to everyone's liberation is the stuff that we're asking for. 214 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: You know what I noticed too. I've been noticing like 215 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Police Department has not been sheltering in 216 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: play so or using masks and stuff, and they're usually 217 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: the ones that are called on that house people. Do 218 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: you think that that could help contribute our spread the 219 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. Absolutely, And we know there's already over one 220 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: hundred cases of coronavirus confirmed in our jail here in California. 221 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: That number will only grow as testing becomes more available. 222 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: It's really funny to see the people that are supposed 223 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: to be enforcing the mask law and the shelter and 224 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: place law standing around not wearing masks, entering restaurants without masks. 225 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: I don't even want to know how they're treating unhoused 226 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: people when there's no one else monitoring. It's a huge danger. 227 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it makes you wonder, Like today there's people 228 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: protesting the sheltering place laws in front of city Hall 229 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: and saying, you know, the economy is more important than 230 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: the community's health. You got to wonder how many of 231 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: those police are also of that sentiment. Well, exactly, because 232 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: what it seems like the poor people have to work, 233 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: not the rich, and they are forcing people that are 234 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: poor to put their lives over money. Yeah, exactly, exactly, 235 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: and that's what we've been historically forced to live under, 236 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: that kind of oppression in this system where property, as 237 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: I wrote on my son, seems to be more important 238 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: than people's lives in human life and evaluation is wrong 239 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: and we need to change that. Thank you, Johanna. This 240 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: is Deil Henderson from Windy On howse I'm going to 241 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: middle around. There's some protests are going on, They're walking around. 242 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to interview as many as people as I 243 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: possibly can and to figure out what's really at issue 244 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: is why the mayor will not listen to the people 245 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: instead of the property owners and the money interests. Thank 246 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: you for listening, and maybe we again meet in the 247 00:15:29,680 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: light of understanding. This is THEO Henderson from Windia and House. 248 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: This is May Day, May first, twenty twenty and May 249 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: Day is one of those episodes or interest interviews that 250 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: we are fighting for the working class people. We're in 251 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: the studios that I'm would like to show. Excuse me, sir, 252 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: could I get a couple of comments from you about 253 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: the situation. I'm looking at your statement here, says Garcetti 254 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: is a coward. Vacant hotels equals deaths. So tell us 255 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: a little bit about your perspective on this, CARCEDI is 256 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: the power to comment to your all the hotel rooms 257 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. There's tens of thousands of vacant rooms 258 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: right now, more rooms than there unhoused people in this city. 259 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: It's impossible to search, re leave distance without a home. 260 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: We want all unhoused people to be housed in hotel 261 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: rooms immediately. Garcetti knows he has the authority to do so, 262 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: but he's too afraid to do it. That's why he's 263 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: a coward. I forgot to get your name. My name 264 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: is THEO what's your Miguel, Miguel, you look different with 265 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: his mask and Miguel, I have seen him on many times. 266 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: He's been an advocate for the End House. He patrols 267 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: the l Playblow area. So how did you get involved 268 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: in this fight? Well, I was really inspired by the 269 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: people who are already doing monitoring for street Watch and 270 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: I and I moved downtown and just saw the incredible 271 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: need there was for organizing and advocating for housing justice, 272 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: and so I got involved and was you know, I 273 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: learned a lot from really amazing organizers. One of the 274 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: things I wanted to know is that do you think 275 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: the mayor will be waking up from miss doldrums to 276 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: do something or you know, I'm pretty cynical about the 277 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: whole thing. I think bar Study is a really weak leader, 278 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: and he's proven himself again and again to only take 279 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: an account the interest of the developer and donor class. 280 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: You know, his biggest accomplishment to date is trying to 281 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: bring the Olympics to Los Angeles. Will will be an 282 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: absolute travesty for our city. And that's really the only 283 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: thing you can point to as an accomplishment, and that's 284 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: not an accomplishment. It's an atrocity. So no, I don't 285 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: have a lot of faith in our mayorg so today's 286 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: may Day. Do you think this coincides with the may 287 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: Day's message? Absolutely? I think workers' rights and housing rights 288 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: are very much intertwined. And people cannot work right now 289 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: because of the pandemic, then they can't get paid, then 290 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: they can't pay their rent, then they're on the vergioncoming 291 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: on a house. It's all connected, it's all ties together. 292 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: That's my episode twenty one, and I definitely agree because 293 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: I also noticed that there was some statements on Twitter 294 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: about telling the do you call the police to help 295 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: them to de escalate or don't call the police? What 296 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: is your perspective one helping make this message be a 297 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: positive one? Well, in regards to calling the police, I 298 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: don't think we should ever be calling the police to 299 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: solve any of our problems, let alone our emergency is 300 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: related into housing or unhoused people. They're an instrumental to 301 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: state violence and we should avoid using them at all costs, 302 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: and we should defund the police. They are over fifty 303 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: percent of the city budget and we could be using 304 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: that money to house people inside. Of course, a few 305 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: them given it two or three times likely of African 306 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: American and our Brown brothers and sisters are twice as 307 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: likely of being harmed or killed with this direct action. 308 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: Do you think the escalation with police or the escalation 309 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: of the police would be needed or would you think 310 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: how could we stop that from happen. It's a great question, THEO. 311 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,719 Speaker 1: I wish I knew how to stop police violence against 312 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: organizers and against the most vulnerable people of our city. 313 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: I don't have the answer to that, but it's you 314 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: know the lapd of priven time and time again that 315 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: they are here to protect the interests of property and capital, 316 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: not the interest of workers are tenants in this city. 317 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: This is THEO Henderson from Willian House. Thank you, Miguel 318 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: for taking your time to talk with me. I'm gonna 319 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: mill about to see what what else we got in 320 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: his store, and I thank you all for listening, and 321 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: may we again meet in the light of understanding. This 322 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: is STO. Henderson from Widian House. I see a protester 323 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: out here with a sign that says no rents, no evictions, 324 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: and no vacancies and houses available more vacancy than unhoused people. Wow, 325 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: So tell me what brought you out here today, Mayday, well, Mayday. 326 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: We're out here in solidarity with workers who are a 327 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: very vicarious position right now, along with our on house neighbors, 328 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: because housing is precarious. Hardly any of us are working 329 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: right now. But guess what, our mayor in the City 330 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: Council of Los Angeles haven't done anything to protect us, 331 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: to keep us from being super vulnerable during this time 332 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: when COVID is popping off. So we're out here to 333 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: demand that they start opening up more than fifteen thousand 334 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: hotel rooms for the over one hundred thousand on house 335 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: neighbors we have who are still out on the street 336 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: unable to follow these safety guidelines and social distancing because 337 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: they don't have a room of their own. And I'm 338 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: here to try to build that movement up and add 339 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: my voice to it. Thank you, thank you very much. 340 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: So do you think mayde ties into what the unhoused community. 341 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: I don't see how it doesn't. I mean, workers are 342 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: getting screwed right now. The people who are getting the fluffiest, 343 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: comfiest bailouts are the corporations, the same old don't know 344 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: if I can cuss some with the in house the 345 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: same old. It's the same thing. It's the banks get 346 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: bailed out first and foremost, and then the people below 347 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 1: are left to fend for themselves. So they pit landlords 348 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: against the renters and renters against their own choices between rent, food, 349 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: the tenants union. It's telling us right now, food not rent. 350 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: And I completely agree. When we're forced to pick what 351 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: we're going to choose for survival, we have to pick 352 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: things like food, we have to pick things like shelter. 353 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 1: But they're not helping us. So the workers are out here, 354 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: people who are actually doing work, who have been living 355 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: paycheck to paycheck or no paycheck at all, or stuck 356 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: in the gig economy. Hell yeah, it's all tied in. 357 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: So I was wondering too. I was having a conversation 358 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: with a friend of mine was saying that person she 359 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: owns property and the food are obviously in panic mode 360 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: because they can't pay the rent because there are no 361 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: jobs available during the Panic nineteen. But she has a 362 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: problem because she has she pays mortgage, so she may 363 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: be in jeopardy of losing her thing. So if you 364 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: have mortgage or a place that you're running out to people, 365 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: what advice would you give for them. Just look at 366 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: what's above you. If they're gonna eat people on the 367 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: bottom first, our most vulnerable citizens, you're next. It's gonna 368 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: go all the way to the top until rich are 369 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: fighting themselves. And that's why we're out here to try 370 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: to nip it in the bud before it gets completely 371 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: out of control. It already is for too many people. 372 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: This whole COVID thing is exacerbating the entire crisis. Trust me, 373 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: landlords and mortgage owners, you are next. If you don't 374 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: feel it yet, you will fill it next because the 375 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: banks will want their money. We've already been told they're 376 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: two victim fail and that's what they still believe. Nothing 377 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: has changed. They rolled back all of the protections for 378 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: people with mortgages and people going to buy houses after 379 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: the last crisis when Trump got it. You are not protected, 380 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: well said. This is THEO Henderson from Weedy on House. 381 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: I thank you all for listening and maybe again meet 382 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: in the light of understanding and the House News in 383 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. On my first twenty twenty ex model and 384 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: in house resident De von Braun and Street Watch and Hotels, 385 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: Hospitals activists, Jed Period entered the rich culture near Elias. 386 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: They entered and occupied a hotel. One of the activists, Victoria, 387 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,239 Speaker 1: guarded the door while the mayor said probably they had 388 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: a room for the God just got at the rich 389 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: Carlton while going on record. The police arrested him under 390 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: the agent of our need in Sorenston direction. The Marriatte 391 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 1: has taken handhouse from tax payers in the millions. They 392 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: are part of the business Improvement district to criminalize the 393 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: houseless community. The hotel has four bathrooms for showers, cooling, 394 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: air conditions and tints. The area refuses these things for 395 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: the houseless community. The group posted a banner highlighting on 396 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: the bed of the death by b l A Lady 397 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: Charlie Africa of COVID no vacancy. It was not written 398 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: on the bed. In Spokane, Washington, the police pushed the 399 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: young house out of the arm The police ordered the 400 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: houses community house to the park after a morning sheltered close. 401 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: Oakland City Council agrees to pay one point four million 402 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: to the mother of houseless man Joshua Powlet, who was 403 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: killed by the police. The death occurred March eleven, twenty eighteen. 404 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: This resulted in the firing of five police officers and 405 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: the ulster of a police chief and Kilpatrick Councilman Noel 406 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: gallow seconded the settlements. Stated El voted for the payout 407 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: because the council was told by a consultant that if 408 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: the case went to trial, a jury could award closer 409 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: to five million dollars. He made us this decision purely 410 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: out of choice, to keep the books balance. In Oakland, 411 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: the Oakland Police Commission, which is made of civilians, voted 412 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: to terminate Brandon Brass, William Berger, Craig to Knocker and 413 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: Sergeant Francisco and mcgretti and Lexicon kentempty. The shelter for kids, 414 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 1: families and victims are cut from the Lexington budget. And 415 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: this is in house News Act too. All the world's 416 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: a stage, and all the men and women are merely players. 417 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: They have the interests and they have the excess. This 418 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: second protest is at Mayor Eric Carcetti's house. Again. At 419 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: the last protests protesters were cited for beeping and making noise. 420 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: This time it happened again. Let's hear the first hand 421 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: accounts from the protesters. This is THEO Henderson from Widian Howes. 422 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: I have one of the protesters here, and he's going 423 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: to introduce himself and tell us what this is all about. 424 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: Good evening, sir, Hi, my name is Kenneth Martin. I 425 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: am here with the protesters. Basically, you know, we're trying 426 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: to follow the city's orders, which was to stay home. 427 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: You know, almost half of la is unemployed now, and 428 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: we're supposed to stay home. You know, we're following the rules. 429 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: That means that rent now, that's a punishment for following 430 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: the city's rules. We shouldn't be paying rent. There shouldn't 431 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: be mortgages. That all needs to not be put on hold. 432 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: If I haven't worked in three months, how am I 433 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: gonna pay three months back of rent at the end 434 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 1: of all that. No one can do that. No one 435 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: can do that, and it only will make the homeless 436 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: problem worse here. Do you think there's a link between 437 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: the un housed community and the workers think secure that 438 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: don't have jobs. Now, I think there is, and I 439 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: think that link will only get stronger. I mean, part 440 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: of this protest also is there are over one hundred 441 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: thousand hotel rooms in this city that aren't being used 442 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: right now. We can use every single one of those 443 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: to house those people. He has the power to do that. 444 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: He's the mayor of our city. He has the power 445 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: to do that. And at city council meetings they say, oh, 446 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 1: we can't do that because the governor he'll make it illegal. Well, 447 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: guess what, in Oakland, they're already starting to do stuff. 448 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: So I don't know if we can cuss it's both, 449 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: It's not true. Why is he so reluctant to do things? 450 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: Because most of the city council's made up of landlords. 451 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I know that Mayor got city 452 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: had almost talked over a hotel. I heard NEWI Martinez 453 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: has rents, and I know that there's a couple of 454 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: other council members that does like current price. And yeah, 455 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: I don't know all the names, unfortunately, but yeah, a 456 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: lot of them are a lot of them are. That's 457 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: why another thing I'm, you know, speaking for myself, but 458 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people here A big messure 459 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: for a lot of us is getting a Nathia Rahman 460 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: elected good. I interviewed her for my show on episode seven. 461 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: She had some very interesting ideas on it. What do 462 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: you think what do you think Nitthia Rama would do 463 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: to it? Would be different than Mayor of Garcid. I 464 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: think Nathia Rahman cares about the people. You know, and 465 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: by the people, I don't mean the people just lining 466 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: her pocket. I mean the people who actually live in 467 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: this city, who they're supposed to be caring about. Well said, 468 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: thank you very much for your time. Thank you. I 469 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: have a good day.

This is May first, twenty 475 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: twenty May Day, and I'm speaking with one of the 476 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: activists out here. So tell us what's happening out here. 477 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: So THEO, we are out here in front of maryor 478 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: Garcetti's house demanding that he canceled rents for the duration 479 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: of the pandemic. Many of us have lost our jobs 480 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: due to no fault of our own. You know, there 481 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: are lawyers out here, There are teachers, there are nurses. 482 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: There are a whole bunch of people who are essential 483 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: workers who need protection and a whole bunch of others 484 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,959 Speaker 1: who have completely lost all of their income and are 485 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,719 Speaker 1: in danger of losing their housing. And so we are 486 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: asking Garcetti today to cancel rent and protect all tenants. 487 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: We are also asking him to open up hotel rooms 488 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: to our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness, because he has 489 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: taken credit to this already. You know, he's already gone 490 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: on television and said, I'm asking hotel owners to open 491 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: up their hotels. But he hasn't mandated that. He hasn't 492 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: given an order for hotel owners to open up their hotels, 493 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: and he hasn't opened up his own hotel to shelter 494 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: unhoused people during the pandemic. You out here last time 495 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: and they had detained you, Was that correct? Yes, they did. 496 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: They detained me and one other activists. What happened well, 497 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: from my perspective, I was using the microphone, I was 498 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: leading chance and police officer just came up and said, hey, 499 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: you're being sighted. Come over here with me, and I 500 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: put my hands behind my back and I went with him. 501 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: And then I went over to the car and while 502 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: they were riding my ticket, they brought in a coal 503 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: over and put her in a handcuffs and then they 504 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,479 Speaker 1: they pushed us down the block. They walked us down 505 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: the block in handcuffs, and then they putting a coal 506 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: in the back of the police car. Fee. Wow, that's amazing, 507 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: just for like using a microphone, Yeah, just for using 508 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: amplified sound in a residential neighborhood. And then today they're 509 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: actually they're trying to do the same thing. We came prepared. Yeah, 510 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: we started the sound ordnance starts at four thirty pm. Okay, 511 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,959 Speaker 1: so we started our protest in good faith at three 512 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: point thirty so that we would have an hour to 513 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: do this. And they came out and they told us 514 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: initially that they were going to start ticketing us pretty 515 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: much right away. Fifteen minutes in uh, and then it's 516 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: it's four o'clock and they're they're claiming that they're gonna 517 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna start stopping cars and warning them, but the 518 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: noise ordinance doesn't actually start for another half hour. I 519 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: think they're just they're just abusing their power at this point, 520 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: right that sounds exactly exactly what they're trying to do. 521 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: I witnessed one of the accounts last episode that they 522 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: ticket to a guy that wasn't even hanking his horn, 523 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: so that's not far out the possibility. What do you 524 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: want the listeners to understand on how to become involved 525 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: if you can.

Thank you because the theo Henderson from 540 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: Widia and howes, if you could hear all the sounds 541 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: around us. They got a mariachi band. Cars are hunking, 542 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: signs are being raised, and police presence is everywhere. So 543 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: here again in the studios, we have Albert and he's 544 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: gonna tell us what's going on. This time, Well, this 545 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: time we find ourselves outside of Garcetes again because you know, 546 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: he still refuses to act. He's fully aware of the 547 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: power that he has. He's not a dumb guy. He's 548 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,760 Speaker 1: very media savvy. He really knows how to talk to people. 549 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: But he's failing us again and again and again. Yeah, 550 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: and you know we have to bring We have to 551 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 1: keep doing this. We have to escalate it because otherwise 552 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: we don't know what else to do, you know, besides 553 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: jumping over that fence that that's going to get his attention. 554 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: Because we've been out here, we've been to the council members' 555 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: houses and they just keep doing things. So maybe maybe 556 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,760 Speaker 1: our protests are pissing them off, you know, maybe they're 557 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: trying to spite us. But it means that we're you know, 558 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: they're paying attention, and Garcetti can't not know that what 559 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: we're doing here. So we're here again asking him food, 560 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: telling him food not rent, asking him to commandeer the 561 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 1: hotel rooms, asking him for rent, forgiveness. It's may day, 562 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, No, we shouldn't be working right now. People 563 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: should be staying inside and not spreading this disease. And 564 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: the essential workers are out there putting their lives on 565 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: the line. Somebody who works at a grocery store should 566 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: never have to worry about their own livelihood, you know, 567 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: and you I have friends who still work with Trader Joe's, 568 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: tons of friends, bill tons of friends who work with 569 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: Trader Joe's that are terrified of getting COVID and not 570 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: only getting it for themselves, but getting it for the 571 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: you know they're elderly, Yeah, their elderly grandma. You know, 572 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: they're their daddy. That's a condition. I mean, my dad 573 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: has asthma. He's fifty nine, He's in okay health, but 574 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: I'm terrified of giving him this. And luckily, I don't 575 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,240 Speaker 1: have to go to a grocery store quote unquote essential 576 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: business every day, but a lot of people do, and 577 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: there's no protections for them. You know, there's nothing there 578 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 1: in Garcetti is not doing anything for anybody except people 579 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: who are wealthy. And that's what the what the game 580 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 1: has always been. Well, Albert, you have put gave us 581 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: a mouth for it. I'm plenty to think of, and 582 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: I thank you I enjoy I always introdest with you. 583 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 1: Thank you. This is Theo Henderson from Median House, and 584 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: I hope you all continue to listen and maybe again 585 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: hopefully meet in a lot of understanding. That's right, thank you, 586 00:36:54,200 --> 00:37:12,720 Speaker 1: Thank you all. This is Deo Henderson from Whedien House 587 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: and I'm here at Mayeric Garcet's House on May first, 588 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,359 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. This day is May Day, and this day 589 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: holds a lot of significance for the unhoused and working class. 590 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: And I wanted to talk to one of the other 591 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: protests and get his perspective on it. So what is this? 592 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: What does May Day mean to you? It's International Workers' Day. 593 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: We have Labor Day in the US, which was specifically 594 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,839 Speaker 1: designed to undermine May Day, which came out of you know, 595 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 1: the Haymarket riots, a police riot in Chicago in the 596 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: nineteenth century that like inspired workers movements around the world, 597 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: and you know, the US government being what it is, 598 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: said we can't have any of that. We need to 599 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: have a day where we celebrate labor and have solidarity 600 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: between the classes, which is you know, nonsense. So what happened? 601 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: What happened? Or something? You say, Hey, riots, what happened 602 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,280 Speaker 1: then the Haymarket. Haymarket riots were you know, a series 603 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: of anarchists protest protesting, uh, in the midst of a 604 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: bunch of labor disputes, sort of like we have now, 605 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: uh and uh. Someone threw a bomb and there was 606 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 1: a riot. A lot of people were killed. Of course, 607 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 1: the narrative that you're that you will learn in school, 608 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: if you ever learned about it, is that the anarchists 609 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: were blowing stuff up, because that's what you're taught to 610 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: believe about anarchists. But there's a lot of evidence that 611 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 1: they would that the police started the riot, which is 612 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: which would be normal to those of us who understand 613 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,919 Speaker 1: how these things work, right. You know, the last time 614 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,439 Speaker 1: I was here, it was not that many many cars here. 615 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: It was some cars here, Don't get me wrong, It 616 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 1: was not that many. There were not that many signs 617 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: that were signs and things like that. But do you 618 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: since that there's a lot of agitated energy. Our people 619 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: are getting a little more tired about this. It's may 620 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: first thrench. Just do I think you know a lot 621 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: of people thought they could squeaked by for April. You know, 622 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: you talk to a lot of people even like very dedicated, 623 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: you know, tenants who are organizing their buildings and pushing back. 624 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: They've really internalized this idea that the rent comes first, 625 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:15,959 Speaker 1: Like even if you're going to run out of food 626 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: by the end of the month, you got to pay 627 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 1: that rent. And you know, so people made it work 628 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: for April, but they're really on the razor's edge now. 629 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: They're not if they pay the rent this month, they're 630 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: going to run out of food, They're not going to 631 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,359 Speaker 1: be able to pay for any kind of emergency. They're 632 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: not going to be able to take care of themselves. 633 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: So they're ready to you know, they're later to turn 634 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: up to this. Well, what do you think is going 635 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: to happen for a lot of because last count is 636 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 1: like six million people foul for unemployment assurance. What do 637 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: you think is going to happen to these people? Plus 638 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,919 Speaker 1: say example, zoom comes and they can't pay their rent. Yeah, 639 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there are some protections for people 640 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: who can't pay the rent, so you know they're gonna 641 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: be able to put it off. In the city of 642 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 1: Los Ange, you know you can. You have to say 643 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: that you're affected by COVID, But I always get distracted 644 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:13,720 Speaker 1: when a rat walks by. But yeah, you know, I mean, 645 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: there's gonna be the way it's set up now. You know, 646 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: saying that you lost income as a result of COVID 647 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: is a defense for an eviction. Evictions can get filed 648 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: when the state of emergency is lifted, so you know, 649 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have a year to pay it back. 650 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: So you know, it's going to be a mess. The 651 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 1: courts are going to fill up, Lawyers are going to 652 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: pull all kinds of shit. Landlords are gonna pull all 653 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 1: kinds of shit.
