In light of recent events, Gil can say he was 100% right.

Affordable housing is NOT the problem. If you can't properly identify the problem then you CAN'T solve the problem. Studies show 67% of the homeless are mentally ill. Institutionalize those that are mentally ill. Some may need to be in psychiatric hospitals for the rest of their lives. Some may need to stay in half-way houses and some may be able to live on their own or with family. That leaves 33% Drug and alcohol addiction represents about 1/3 or 33% of the homeless population. There is some crossover where a person can be mentally ill and use alcohol and/or drug to self medicate. Increase inpatient and outpatient recovery slots. Make it to where the homeless person has no choice but go to rehab or jail -- either way they will detox -- you know what they would choose. Some will relapse I am aware of this. When they do they need to repeat the process again. That leaves the rest which in my opinion is around 15% of the population which is manageable. I worked for 3 years in a shelter there will never be 100% of the people housed but we can do much better. Watching the mentally ill and drug addled sleeping on the street is morally reprehensible. We can do better. We must do better.

Drug addicts, won't work. After they have used & abused family & friends, they end up in the street. Getting employment is beneath them.

0:30 It says "Don't trust big pharma Phizer Moderna" That's fresh graffiti. Haha

"Due to a bad relationship." Yea.. that.. and the drugs.

I blame the homeless and the citizens of CA. They COULD rezone for affordable housing BUT they don’t want THOSE people near them….

Government officials really scratching their heads on whether they should address the core of the problem (material conditions of the people) or throw infinitely more money at cosmetic fixes.

Im currently homeless at this very moment so I feel them but i chose this life i don't do drugs so money stretches me for a long time ❤i hope they really get the help they

Zero sympathy for people on the streets because of and those using drugs, you've chosen that life and this is the consequence; what would housing them do other than let them do drugs with a roof over their head.. Clean up your life and you'd be amazed how well things start to go for you.

You sound like the premier enabler. Co-dependency is a disease BTW. Five years homeless is a life choice. This issue is best dealt with by increasing consequences for behavior as opposed to minimizing. Enjoy your power trip.

The unhoused you're a idiot

They just let people live in the northwest

Let’s go expect people to work

The unhoused

If rent was $500 they'll still be homeless, it's their way of life..... most are drug users, family disowned, trouble maker only very few has a legitimate reason to be homeless..

Thank you for going down there and actually speaking to the people affected. Everybody has all these grand ideas about how they can solve homelessness but never even had a conversation with somebody who had lived in those shoes.

Whats their future? Soylent Green?

5:14 we gotta come to her and offer this woman resources. Rediculous

This is what a great deal of $ is spent on. I lived across from a park and week after week they had to bring the big trucks to clear it out. The mess is extreme and when they relocate they leave a lot behind. They live in 5th wheels with no truck attached. They have to get a buddy to move them everytime they get the 72 hr sticker but they just move a block over untll the day they can't a friend to pull them to another spot and they lose the 5th wheel. Its so hard. And we want to care about the homeless but no one really cares about the ppl actually living in the homes and paying the taxes. The homeless I encountered are not kind to us, they are not kind to each other yet they DEMAND that tax payers offer them resources and respect. I've seen all kinds of disrespect in that part. This woman interviewed had no respect for the ppl out there volunteering, none. She complained that they didn't come over to her and ask her what they could give her. No shame, feeling entitled to resources that she do not contribute to. She demands we keep up our end of the unofficial social contract of humans in a society yet she and others like her refuse to contribute to it. The change for these ppl comes from within, we cannot walk up to them and offer them a solution like this woman wishes would happen. There will never be enough $ because that's not the solution. Personal accountability is the way. Teach that. We know the toss $ at the problem way of thinking does not work. Time to get serious and time for the ppl with their hand out to do the personal work to help themselves and then the rest will follow

Sane, sober and honest people usually have friends or relatives to stay with if they lose their jobs and apartment. The left explains almost every social phenomena in class or economic terms and refuses to talk about other factors such as lifestyle or culture factors. Why so few Asian or Hispanic homeless people compared to blacks and whites? They're not all techies and entrepreneurs with thriving businesses.

It’s called homeless not unhoused.

The city and its citizens should expect people to not live like pigs. The city and its citizens should expect homeless people to sleep in shelters. Most homeless people are homeless because of bad choices: drug addiction, refusing to take meds for mental illness, non-commitment to marriage & family, not learning to control emotions leading to firings, and the main one, not taking advantage of free public education to begin adulthood on the right foot. My daughter chose drugs and dove into this lifestyle although she was raised in our middle-class home with love, limits, faith, and caring parents. We have paid for apartments time and again, bought new furniture time and again, filled her fridge, cabinets, & closets time and again, gotten her jobs, offered higher/tech/trade education, taken in her child, and taken her to rehab multiple times. And this doesn't count the help she's been offered from the church and government, yet she always returns to drugs and the streets. Her daughter is now being raised by a stepmother. Those homeless because of job loss or other such circumstances usually get on their feet after a short time--never to return to the streets.

Been homeless my whole life I’ve only ever had very very temporary housing. I’m leaving California for good. This state just wants to imprison us all. I will leave California for good and never comeback. There has to be some place for us to go because at this point California isn’t worth it at all. California is a joke like UC Berkeley.

The homeless need to start working together to obtain housing. Many elderly and young adults would be homeless, if not for roommates.

squidgame?

Also I would love to volunteer to help be a mentor to someone who is in a shelter. Those shelter spots one “filled “ are temporary. People need advocates in this life- whether you are reaching toward being a self actualized adult housed and working, or if u are the “working poor” - we need advocates. Steps to do paperwork for each public assistance agency, keep doctor/therapy appts to address physical/mental conditions that make it difficult to get all their affairs in order, to make sure they know they are seen. Big Bro Big Sis for adults Because alll those on the street who are adults deserve to be free from human suffering (mental/physical) just like children do, they once were children, they e just been here longer. Much love to these on the street. Next paycheck I’m taking some socks and supplies, like baby wipes, combs, etc

The country really needs to build more free housing. It doesn't have to be fancy, just enough for people to get by comfortably. It doesn't matter if they're on drugs or not.

It seems as if the ones who want to help are struggling themselves.

Just cause you are homeless doesn't mean you need to be trashy about it! Cleanliness is necessary when you can't shower regularly. AND if you are homeless, LESS IS MORE. There is no excuse for the trash, they have NOTHING ELSE BETTER TO DO WITH THERE TIME. Clean up! Or GET HELL FROM THE REST OF US ! How do you think they would treat an apartment????? Get Real. They treat their bodies like they treat their camps. NO EXCUSE!

What a beautiful city full of crime, corruption, stench of waste and free camping spots! And don’t forget the free merchandise, just go into any place of business and help yourself.

I pray President Trump fixes this. Too many of our brothers and sisters are on the streets. It makes me so sad. I wish I could rescue them all.

"Skidding on to the streets"....is exactly where "skid row" got it's name.

They can go to shelters but they don't want to go. I don't feel like anything else is necessary.

Do you remember, before the KC cop, there was Daniel Holtzclaw convicted in 2015 for the same BS in Oklahoma. Watch his court conviction vid crying like a btch. Just absolute irony.

This channel needs more promotion. SS was just a codependent useful idiot. That should be his LinkedIn bio "The best useful idiot you can hire!" I think he threatens physical fights like that b/c he thinks his artillery posts he's made has intimidated everyone. Particularly since he at least once has illegally carried he think she can just whip his peen compensation out and rule, but he better be careful about that -- it might not end well for him one day. In the vid at a Thao presser where he's running and calling his main sycophant to protect him, his main sycophant just hides behind SS, even though he's about a foot taller. Hey, if you're there to help your idol, don'tcha stand in front of him to thwart the potential blows? Watch them together, it's hilarious.

The reason why OPD was pushing hard for the recall of Pamela Price

Whoa!!! Super dope!!!!

When people buy a house they shift right.

"The Blue Flu" is a phenomenon that needs to be studied. All of this was very educational. Thank you, Kevin and Scott, everyone should take the time to listen to your podcast and support!

False Narratives! We supported Criminal Justice Reform just NOT the Fake PROGRESSive Ideologue version that was completely dysfunctional and damaging to our society. Crime was the worst that it has ever been under these failed leaders. Talk about all the Rich billionaires on your side including the national Union's involved in spending Millions to support your ideologues. Yes there's a reason that these failed Leaders with failed policies were removed from office. As soon as people realize that their policies were causing severe damage and killing people businesses and communities they decided to take immediate action. Your denial does not change the facts on the ground. A majority of Democrats do not agree with your dysfunctional approach that is partisan extreme to the left. Recalls are part of the democratic process that is guaranteed in the California state constitution. A majority of DAs DISAGREED with Boudin, Price & Gascon - They all FAILED TO BRING RESULTS! DA is Top Cop that must prosecute to the full extent of the law NOT focus on undermining law enforcement. Public Safety is not debatable when it comes to the damage being done to the people of color disproportionately because of these failed policies. Just go to their neighborhoods and talk to them and you will find out the truth. Voters wanted criminal justice reform BUT NOT FOREGOING PUBLIC SAFETY!

Great stuff.

Great Interview thanks!

This topic impacts VICTIMS OF CRIME and is not to be laughed at. FYI: the Alameda County District Attorney is the top cop and is charged with the duties to prosecute criminals to the full extent of the law and includes protecting the rights of victims of crime. Price was removed from office for failing to do her job - PERIOD! FACT: Recall was NOT against Criminal Justice Reform - Just DA Price's dysfunctional version As a Lead Organizer (Pressers/Rallys) for both DA Price & Mayor Thao Recalls - I can tell you that this person is misrepresenting FACTS! Extremely biased and an Ideologue Progressive leftist partisan operative who admits that he worked as campaign manager to elect Pam Price and 3 months into her term in office. FACT: Price lost Recall by a 2-1 margin in the recall! Price's camp continue to double down and triple down in an attempt to reframe the narrative that is very Trump-like in election denying. Check your legal sources: A Recall cannot legally begin until after 6 months the elected has been in office. 123,800 Alameda county residents signed initial Recall petition. Alameda County Pamela Price Recall Election Official Results: Yes 374,993 62.91 % No 221,051 37.09 % UNACCEPTABLE: Disparaging Brenda Grisham, Carl Chan & reporter Emily Raguso with false allegations. Price was a George Soros funded DA, just like Boudin & Gascon - ALL GONE! (Google it) Ryan LaLonde can now be called as a witness by Emily to prove DA Price violated her Freedom of the Press - thanks for incriminating Price further beyond the FBI charges! Price stood with the Anti Police Terror Project against law enforcement Price's ex husband and children still have active restraining orders against her. Failed Policies from Failed Leaders has killed people, businesses & our communities - Public Safety is #1 PRIORITY! Price's "Social Experiment" "guinea pigged" the people of Alameda County and FAILED us TERRIBLY! Look for a ton of lawsuits to be filed against Pamela Price. Keep talking Ryan - "Can and will be used against YOU in a court of law"

Ryan you're indeed a 🤡 Your husband 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭 phuck these people who have traumatized so many lives, let their azz sit where they belong. Try offering some of these solutions to the families. We talking felonies not misdemeanors

As a reporter you should check your facts before you post ask him for the emails, I have them, ask him for the deposits there are none i have been doing this work for 13 years. I would love to come on your show. 5 mothers who are apart of the VPC asking to meet with her is what again???? That was the email. But since i never met Carl until June when did you come up with this again.

Bawwwwwwhahahahahahaaaaaa. Exactly….sir, you are not based in any type of reality! 🤡

Great Interview ❤

You saw that Scott was asking for donations to Oakland United for the recall on X -- around Nov 14th "Any contribution helps make Oakland’s victory complete." LOL

Glad to see you two are back!!!
