00:00:00.000 Your job as a citizen journalist is to go out there and tell your story and let the market decide.
00:00:04.240 If the market's not going to be doing it, you know, and it's being left to, how old are you now, Nick?
00:00:09.040 24.
00:00:09.700 24 years old, you're going out there doing this stuff in L.A.
00:00:13.880 And while you're in L.A., did you go somewhere and there was like a homeless family in the street saying it would have been better in Colombia than it would?
00:00:21.880 There's something you did there as well.
00:00:23.640 Yes, in Skid Row. 0.99
00:00:24.520 I filmed that video a while back, but you had migrants living on the streets of Skid Row. 0.73
00:00:30.940 Is that it? 1.00
00:00:31.780 Yes.
00:00:32.260 I found multiple children living on the streets of Skid Row.
00:00:35.420 I found this one.
00:00:36.120 This was a while back, like almost nearly a year ago, these kids living in Skid Row.
00:00:40.900 And their circumstances are better than – the circumstances are worse on Skid Row than if they were in Colombia.
00:00:47.920 This was a 12-year-old that I got off the streets in Skid Row and got back into school and into shelter. 0.56
00:00:52.820 You did?
00:00:53.500 Yeah.
00:00:54.520 12 years old, we used to go to Skid Row every Christmas morning
00:00:57.980 at 4.30 a.m. in L.A.
00:01:00.540 We used to go to Skid Row and hand out Bibles and food
00:01:03.900 and burgers and blankets and a couple times knives were pulled on us
00:01:09.420 and I would sit there and talk to these guys
00:01:10.920 and sometimes our guys would bring their kids for their kids
00:01:14.280 to see what's going on.
00:01:15.160 Eventually, it got a little bit dangerous.
00:01:16.400 We're like, let's just go as adults.
00:01:17.860 We would go with 40, 50 cars, 4.30 in the morning,
00:01:20.720 every Christmas, every year.
00:01:22.400 And a guy named June introduced me to this
00:01:24.100 because, you know, and we followed the lead with them for many, many years.
00:01:27.880 It was an incredible experience.
00:01:29.600 But if folks have not been to Skid Row, what was your experience with Skid Row?
00:01:33.780 I've been to Skid Row a few times, and it's super, super sad.
00:01:37.380 It is literally a tent city.
00:01:38.940 It really is. 0.96
00:01:39.700 It's blocks upon blocks of just human suffering
00:01:42.740 to levels that are not necessary here inside the United States.
00:01:46.960 And it's been happening for years and years and years.
00:01:50.020 They give it millions upon millions of dollars, and nothing ever happens.
00:01:54.920 In fact, they actually give people the paraphernalia to continue to do drugs. 0.95
00:01:59.040 It's ridiculous.
00:02:00.080 And so, like, I was really upset when I found that child there 0.91
00:02:03.120 because you have all these NGOs surrounding the 12-year-old.
00:02:07.100 The 12-year-old, but nobody will offer him a place to sleep at night.
00:02:09.900 He's sleeping on the streets of Skid Row where there's prostitutes,
00:02:13.600 where there's people selling fentanyl, people getting abused,
