I think I've told you I'm a realist.
That's what I base my worldview on.
Not what it should be.
Not what it ought to be.
Not what it used to be.
Not what I want it to be.
But the way it is.
As a dear friend of mine said one time, sometimes it bees like that.
And when you look at a situation and you look, you have to ask yourself, why is it that people are doing it?
Whether it's serial killing or whether it's robbery or whether it's drug addiction or whether it's aggressive gambling, whatever the hell that is, you have to ask yourself, what is it?
Enough of the euphemisms.
Stop soft-soaping it.
You got it?
Good.
I'm going to be talking about this.
And specifically, the issue we're going to be talking about is homelessness is not the issue.

It's mental illness.

Stop calling this homelessness.
Stop.
What is the purpose of this?
What did homelessness have to do with this?
When you see somebody who was walking around ambulating, ambulating, perambulating, peregrinating, locomoting, moving about, obviously in some type of mental stress, mental health distress, How do people look at that and say, aha!
Homelessness again.
Are you kidding me?
Homelessness.
Where did you get that from?
What did that have to do with anything?
That is a symptom.
Do you think that if you put this person in a home and say, here, here's your place, here are the keys, you're on your own there, he'd say, thanks, I'm off the drugs.
My schizophrenia has cleared up.
I'm doing great.
I'm going to go out and get a job now that I have a home.
All of those problems that led up to my homelessness, they're gone because of the home.
I had no symptoms.
I only had a problem.
No home.
It's the most stupid thing I've ever heard in my life.
It doesn't even come close to it.
They don't have a home.
Many of them don't have teeth or a job or family or support or health.
Or there's a lot of stuff that they are less.
Stop doing this.
And one of the problems, one of the problems that happened years ago was we came to this idea that warehousing, as they were called, the mentally ill, is somehow disgusting.
Or somehow it's problematic.
Or somehow it...
It's inhumane.
We had places here, Creedmoor and Bellevue, Creedmoor in particular, where they would take these people off of the street and they would confine them.
And they would watch them.
And of course there were excesses.
Of course there were problems.
Of course!
Name one thing where there isn't.
But they weren't in the street.
They weren't getting into trouble.
And they were actually being helped.
They were on medication.
And Tom Cruise notwithstanding, there were some forms of mental illness that you cannot make go bye-bye with fruit juices and jump rope.
There's something that is extremely, extremely serious as far as that goes.
Let me just make sure you understand how this thing works.
We have people who are mentally ill and drug-addled and alcoholic and who suffer from attendant medical problems.
More More ostensible, more demonstrable mental disorders are caused by endocrine problems and hormonal disruptions and you name it.
And what happens is, and what's the most important to understand, is that these people have this synergistic compounding effect where one leads to the next, leads to the next, over and over and over.
It's something that is beyond anything that anybody has ever seen.
And it compounds.
And then you put them in prisons.
And then you put them in jails.
And then what you do is, they don't get help, and they get worse.
And they go out, and they commit more crimes.
And what you do, not you, they, they look at this and go, ah, he's homeless!
You have to take these people and put them in a situation or in a condition of confinement.
You want to use words like warehousing?
Be my guest.
Call it whatever you want.
It doesn't matter.
But that's the issue.
And nobody wants to say, most of the people, let me give you the old favorite, 99.99999% of all mental illness.
99% is benign.
Nobody's ever hurt.
Nobody ever does anything.
Nobody harms anybody.
Most schizophrenics never hurt anybody.
Most people who are severely psychotic never hurt anybody.
They may pose a threat to themselves or others by virtue of this.
But when you have people walking around who haven't bathed, do you know what it was?
I don't know about you, but just not bathing.
No hygiene.
Do I have to go into detail with that?
I don't think so.
Imagine you've worn the same clothes for weeks.
This is tantamount to like Vietnam in the jungle.
Weeks.
And some people don't have shoes.
They have medical conditions you and I don't have.
From, you know...
I'm not going to go through it.
You can only imagine, okay?
You can imagine.
Add to it the smell and the funk and the baked-in organic horror of just being outside alone in a world that is detached and you're drunk, high, mentally ill, or, we used to use words in the past, retarded, which I've got no problem getting away from that.
But whatever you want to call the new iteration of that, let me know.
Mentally handicapped, whatever.
Throw this into the mix and you get that.
That's the issue.
And we've got to put these people back in the hospitals, back in the situations where they can be watched, they can be monitored, they can be cared for, they can be sedated.
They can receive medication, psychotropic and otherwise.
Psych meds.
They can be watched.
They can go through therapy.
Get them off the street for my safety, your safety, and their safety.
And lose this homeless business.
Who came up with this?
And what do they want to do?
They want to...
To stop, to create, or to fix, or to ameliorate the homeless problem, we're going to set up low-rent, low-income housing.
Now, that's great for families and people who need it, but not this.
This is a psychiatric medical problem.
And we're seeing psychiatric medical problems at rates that are...
Inconceivable.
I'm not for warehousing people in inhumane situations.
What I am for and what I'm all about is being realistic and doing my best to help these people.
To help them.
And the first way to help them is stop calling them homeless.
Stop it.
We get on these kicks.
You know the Marine Daniel Penny?
They're still calling what he used a chokehold.
It's not a chokehold, but everybody's using it.
Because once the lazy start to tell the story, they just repeat the tropes and the memes and the ideas, irrespective of how incorrect they are.
This drives me nuts.
These people are absolutely, without a doubt, the problem.
You hear what I'm saying?
The problem.
The people.
The do-gooders.
And also, there are other people who know exactly what they're doing.
And they don't mind having these folks You know, perambulating about, scaring people, causing disorder, causing fright, causing mayhem.
They like this.
They like our society to be fractured and fractious and confused and to upset.
They want to upset.
They want to anger.
They want to scare and frighten.
That's what they want to do.
And who are they?
Shadow government overlords.
The people who are responsible for this cataclysm, this cacophony of caca that we're living in today.
Do I make myself clear?
Good.
Now, do me a favor and listen to what I'm saying.
