i can t stand. is that okay, tony? can i sit? [gunfire] is. jesse: no one ever wants to meet a mobster. some people would feel safer in prison than out on the street people like bernie madoff no relation to. lost $65 billion of other people s money in a ponzi scheme. it wasn t just joe schmo s money that bernie stole. a new netflix documentary says bernie madoff was taking millions of dollars in from criminals. federal reserve drug cartels tr. and when they all came knocking on bernie s door to have it back, he didn t have it. instead of paying up, the documentary says madoff pled guilty to 150 year prison sentence so he wouldn t get whacked. madoff just confessed said i did it said send me away. if madoff for years was able to get away with taking in mob money, drug money right under the nose of the feds, just imagine what s going on in crypto. the currency notorious with mobsters, sex traffickers and hackers. warren buffett s right-hand man calls it rat poison. dignity
got so many out here because they feed you three meals a day. you don t have to do [bleep] but stay in your tent or party or if you smoke a lot of dope you can do that. it s like you wake up, you go eat and get high. go seat get high. go eat dinner get high. that s all you do all day long every day. does that feel like it s helping anybody. it s not. that s why you see all the tents. that s wendy. she is a homeless hair dressner portland. she doesn t cut hair anymore it s hard to find the motivation to work when you are made this comfortable. look at the jacket. she has earrings. she is homeless and she has hoop earrings and a nice looking sweater and her tent, probably given to her by the city. well, the county spent nearly 2 million bucks buying tents for homeless just in the last two years. each tent cost like $70. but wendy says she is tired of handouts and now wants a hand up.
there giving them any of the taxpayer money that they have taken from the taxpayer? i see very few teams out there. there s a couple good ones but not for the problem we have. and i go out there a lot. now, we have a lot of outreach programs. a lot of social service agencies where it s available but oftentimes they re a little bit out of reach of the homeless people i work with because of where they re camping or maybe they are guarding their tent and they stay there because of the theft. and i can use wendy as an example. she left her tent 20 minutes because. they steal the craziest things. i strongly question where are the outreach teams. i mean, for all i know they re working from home and you just tell me the logic in that. jesse: what do the homeless people want? do they want to be coddled by the city? you know what? no; they do not. i mean, what i hear almost every day and like what wendy says they are lugging us to death.
and kevin dolgren person who speak with wendy homeless. we heart seattle board member. what is portland doing wrong, specifically? well, first of all, thanks for having me. i appreciate being on your show. what is portland doing wrong? well, we could talk for a few hours on this because i have done this for 28 years in portland metro. but i will start with the lack of outreach. i go out there every day as a volunteer, when i m not doing my day job and the fact is i m not seeing anybody out there. and that s a big concern of mine. i would say 95% of the time when i meet a homeless person and talk with them and interview them. they will tell me you re the first person to talk to me in two-plus years. that is absolutely not okay. jesse: kevin, we hear all the time how compassionate liberals are especially portland, oregon, the most liberal, compassionate city on the west coast. you are saying there is not anybody from the government
