فوز عظيما أما بعد فإن أصدق الحديث كتاب الله تعالى وخير الهدي هدي محمد ابن عبد الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وشر الأمور محدثاتها وكل محدثة بدعة وكل بدعة ظلالة وكل ظلالة في النار أخي ورسوله إن شاء الله تعالى today's خطبة وبي about the ayah or the explanation the ayah قول إن كنتم تحبون الله فاتبعوني يحببكم الله ويغفل لكم ذنوبكم والله غفور الرحيم سأكون إذن الله الكريم أخبر من هذا الآياء إن شاء الله تعالى إذا كنتم أفتحنا وعنا وإن شاء الله تعالى نفهم الوصول من هذا الآياء وما يعني وما هذا الآياء يساعدنا لأننا سوف نرى جيدة في هذا العالم ومن ثم الآياء الله سبحانه وتعالى يقول في هذا الآياء قول يقول لهم محمد إن كنتم تحبون الله إذا كنتم تحبون الله سبحانه وتعالى قولوا لهم فاتبعوني يحببكم الله ويغفل لكم ذنوبكم ويغفل لكم ذنوبكم ويغفل لكم ذنوبكم والله غفور الرحيم وإن الله is one who always forgives سبحانه وتعالى فطر الله سبحانه وتعالى على النفوسي الله has placed in our hearts as humans that anything على حب من أحسن إليها anyone who's good to us anyone who shows us kindness the human being tends to love that individual and tends to have a soft spot for that individual as الله سبحانه وتعالى سنين القرآن ولا تستوي الحسنة ولا السيئة إدفع بلته أحسن فإذا الذي بينك وبينه عداوة كأنه ولي يون حميم الله said the good and the evil are not equal and they are not the same if repel الله said إدفع بلته أحسن repel with that which is good for verily if there is between you and another person enmity and you deal with them in a good way this person كأنه ولي يون حميم he becomes a very close he starts to love you because of your good manners of how you dealt with him so if a person wrongs you deal back with them in good الله سبحانه وتعالى has done that and more for us and he deserves us to love him سبحانه وتعالى and the things that Allah has bestowed upon us لا يدنو منه إحسان there is nothing equal to it nor close to it pay and ponder in these verses إن شاء الله وتعالى الله سبحانه وتعالى he says الله الذي خلق السماوات والأرض الله is the one who created the heavens and the earth he is the one who created it وأنزل من السماء ماء and الله سبحانه وتعالى he sent down from the sky he sent rain down فأخرج من الثمرات رسق لكم and الله سبحانه وتعالى with that rain he brought crops out from the earth وسخر لكم الفلكة لتجرية في البحر بأمري and then الله تبارك وتعالى he allowed your ships and your boats to sail on the ocean and on the sea بأمريه with his command وسخر لكم الأنهار and الله تبارك وتعالى he made the day for you وسخر لكم الشمس والقمر the sun in which you come out on a sunny day and it say so beautiful the moon without it it would be hard for us to sleep in a sunny day الله تبارك وتعالى has made those all take place on their courses وسخر لكم الليلة والنهار واتاكم من كل ما سألتمه الله has given you everything you have asked for وإن تعدوا نعمة الله لا تحسوها if you sit down and you think about what Allah has blessed you with you won't be able to put a figure on it you can't say it's 20,000 things Allah has blessed me with it's more than that وإن تعدوا نعمة الله لا تحسوها and then Allah says إن الإنسانة لا ظلوم ونكفار then the human you find it to be what oppressive and a disbeliever who doesn't come with gratitude so what this ayah tells us is that all of these are given to us whether you're a believer or you're a disbeliever Allah has blessed you with these things and because of that my brothers and sisters it becomes obligatory for us to love Allah سبحانه وتعالى عقلا and of course شرعا logically it does because he favored you he did all this for you and شرعا because the ayah clearly says that to you to love Allah سبحانه وتعالى الله تبارك وتعالى he refuted and he rejected the action of a people ولقد انكر الله عز وجل فريق من الناسي a group of people أحبوا غير الله they loved other than Allah مثل حبهم but they loved الله but they loved beside Him and that's why Allah said ومن الناسي from the people are those من يتخذوا من دون الله and they took beside Allah a mid something they made Allah equal with يحبونهم كحب الله they love Him the way they love Allah والذين آمنوا the ones who believe in Allah in Allah والذين آمنوا أشد حب لله they love Allah more ولو يرى الذين ظلموا if the transgresses who are the zalimid here those who have made the love of Allah equal to the love of that which they love their wives, their children, their money they are khamis that they wear they love it ولو يرى الذين ظلموا if they are the zalimid أن القوة لله جميعا وأن الله شديد العذاب the day they will see that then Allah tells us that thing you have loved my brother and sister and that you have shown appreciation above Allah the day of judgment that thing will free itself from you and it will not do anything it has nothing to do with you it will turn its back on you الله سبحانه وتعالى He says إذ تبرأ الذين التبعوا من الذين اتبعوا ورأوا العذاب وتقطعت بهم الأسباب وقال الذين اتبعوا لو أننا لنا كرة فنتبرأ منهم كما تبرأوا مننا كذلك يريهم الله أعمالهم حسارات عليهم وماهم بخارجين من النار الله سبحانه وتعالى the day when those things that you loved and you followed over the commands of Allah it will free itself from you that day you're going to see the punishment and the place where it took you to وقال الذين اتبعوا those who followed would say لو أننا لنا كرة اي الرجوع if only we have the chance to go back to the earth again and we can free ourselves from these things that we have shown too much love to كما تبرأوا مننا the way they have freed themselves from us loving besides Allah whether it's money whether it's children whether it's your wife and you see a person he will put his family or he would put his self before Allah تعالى and his commands this false delusion to not follow Allah's command أخي there's no masala in it أخي there's no hikmah in it the hikmah and the wisdom مصلاحة has become تعطيل الشريعة for a person to abolish and to abandon the shari'a this is wisdom now and this is hikmah for a person to miss the salah because I need to take my children to the park for a person not to pray in the jama'a in the masjid when they are able to because I have to take care of my family منطيع حق الله فلمسي وهو أضع anyone who forsakes the rights of Allah than everything other than Allah he is going to forsake it no doubt why would a wife expect from her husband to be a man who follows and is a good husband for her if he is forsaking the jama'a and the salah why does a husband think of his wife that she is going to be a righteous wife and that she is going to listen and adhere if the religion of Allah is what she has forsaken she is leaving the house not wearing the things that she should wear she is not speaking honestly your love and your passion is besides الله سبحانه وتعالى the youngster, the youth he sees a role model on the television and on YouTube that's the thing that he follows he dresses like it he talks like it you can't even keep up with with what is fashion now the men and the women just the same that's what fashion is the society tells them what to do الله سبحانه وتعالى اعطاء الله anyone who says it he is extreme he is confused he doesn't know the reality this is the names that I'll touch to you اتقل الله في الله تبارك وتعالى the people والله يأي people like this on this path Allah's punishment is never lifted from them حتى ترجعوا إلى دينكم until you come back to your religion you submit to your Lord الله سبحانه وتعالى every previous nation the things that were found in them you find it in this nation today ومن رحمتي from the mercy of Allah he hasn't sent not even half of what he sent to the previous nations الله سبحانه وتعالى he tells us those who love besides Allah anything other than Allah the day of judgment they are going to regret it قال اتعالى الله says فَقُبْ كِبُوْ فِيهَا هُمْ وَالْغَوُونَ وَجُنُوتُ إِبِلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ قَالُوا وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ تَلَّهِ اِنْ كُنَّا لَفِيهُ ضَلَالِمْ مُبِينَ إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُمْ بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَقُبْ كِبُوْ they will be tossed and tanned in the Hellfire فِيهَا وَهُمْ وَالْغَوُونَ and they are those who deviated from the straight path of Allah سبحانه وتعالى وَجُنُوتُ إِبِلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ and all of the soldiers of Iblis they followed him that was their leader not Allah who is Subhanahu وتعالى قالوا وهم فيها يختصمون they are going to argue amongst themselves what are they going to say تَلَّهِ بَيَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنَّا لَفِيهُ ضَلَالِمْ مُبِينَ we were upon clear misguidance we deviated from the path that was sent for us the path in which Nabi الله محمد said وأن هذا سراطي مستقيما فاتبعوه ولا تتبعوا السبولة فتفرق بكم عن سبيلي ذلكم وصاكم به لعلكم تتقون this is my path he emphasized on it so much that he had to take a twig and he marked on the earth and he said this is my path follow it ولا تتبعوا السبول and don't follow the paths that are on the left and on the right فتفرق بكم عن سبيلي that it deviates you from the straight path those طرق and those سبول can be الشياطين والإنسي والجين whether it's a مبتد عضال يُضِلُ الناس عن سبيل or if it's a كافر مُلحِد all of them are diverting you and taking you away from the straight path تَلَّهِ إِنْ كُنَّا لَفِيُضَ لَالِينْ مُبِينَ إذ نُسَوِّكُم بِرَبِّ العالمين we used to make you equal this مفصرين they said إذ نُسَوِّكُم اي في المحبة the love that we had for Allah we used to give it to other than Allah oh youngster the role model that you follow from the movies and from the even in this world today you see that the youngster the youth the guy you're hanging around with the day you get caught by the police he frees himself from you I don't know him I've not come across I don't know who he is and he walks away from you how would he come in your help the day of judgment don't you see don't you wake up and realize the إشارات and the signs around you are enough for Allah إنها لا تعمل أبصار ولكن تعمل قلوب اللتي في الصدور it is not the eyes that are blind but it's the heart a nation whose heart is dead and you can show them everything they won't understand wake up أفيق من نوميكم العميق wake up from your long sleep that you're in it's enough that we are in this and we continuously carry on the minute you walk out of the خطب the only thing you will say it's always alright oh I benefited something's here and there change your life establish an Islamic household in your own house put Allah first before anything else so when you come the day of judgment في أمس الحاجة إلى الله and you're very well in need of him that he covers for you your sins and he puts you into Jannah put him first today put your شهوات your desires and everything aside and Allah will show you his mercy the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم told us he said لا أحد يتقلوا لجنة بعمله no one will enter Jannah because of his actions قيلة ولا أنت يا رسول الله even you he said ولا أنا even I won't enter Jannah because of my actions when will you enter how unless Allah bestows upon you his mercy this is what we need and there's a way to gain it أقول ما تسمعون وأستغفر الله ليولكم والإسائر المسلمين من كل ذنب فاستغفروه إنه هو الغفور الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل وأشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وصحبي والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد my brothers and sisters everything around us that we love we do not love them محبوب اللي داتي everything that we love we don't love it for in and within itself we love it for other than in and within itself meaning our wives, our world are everything that we have we should love it purely for الله تبارك وتعالى سيك and that our love should not revolve around that thing as for Allah سبحانه وتعالى we love him in and out and he takes presidents over everything سبحانه وتعالى that our love for him it reaches a point that we love what he loves and we hate what he hates we don't just love him but we love what he loves and we hate what he hates and that is a great sign of your love for الله تبارك وتعالى and it is one of the highest branches of an iman ايمام التبارانيو narrated in his معجب من حديثة عبدالله بن عباس او ثقعورة الإيمان الحب في الله والبغض في الله one of the highest branches of iman is to love something for the sake of Allah and it's to hate it for the sake of Allah your love is connected to Allah what Allah loves your hate is connected to that which he hates سبحانه وتعالى اخواني واخواتي my brothers and sisters محبة الله the love of Allah ليس كلماتهم تقال ولا شعاراتهم ترفع loving Allah is not statements that a person just says والله I love Allah والله I love Allah it's not just something you say and it's not a sign that you raise a banner that you have with you that says I love Allah رادة it is طاعة واتباع وخضوع وانقياد ومتثال وستسلام it means to add ear and it's to obey and to surrender to Allah تبارك وتعالى to acknowledge that you're a slave of Allah you're a slave of Allah and that Allah تبارك وتعالى tells you where to go and he tells you what to do you're a slave you have a master your master he executes your affairs for you you surrender you don't ask him no buts no ifs حسن البصري رحمه الله on the commentary of this verse قل إن كنتم تحبون الله he said ادعى قوموا a group of people they claimed محبة الله they claimed the love of Allah فبتلاهم الله بهذه الآية Allah tested them with this ayah قل إن كنتم تحبون الله a group of people they came out and they said we love Allah so they got they got tested with this verse how did they get tested with this verse and what was the testing the testing was the second part of what the ayah said اخواني which is to follow the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم الامام الجنيد رحمه الله he said اتقوروا كلها مسدودة all roads are closed all of the roads that are closed إلا طريقة من اقتفى أزر محمدين except the path in which the prophet tread on عليه الصلاة والسلام there is no way to get to Allah there is no way to reach Allah except through the path which the prophet took all of the other roads are closed and إن وان the sign of your love to Allah is for us to see from you following the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم my brothers and sisters لأن المحبة عمل من عمل القلوب love is from the actions of the heart and no one can see what's in your heart and so we see it from your limbs وكل إنا إن بالذي فيه ينضحو every vessel sweats what's inside it we will know your love of the messenger by the actions that you come with is it in accordance صلى الله عليه وسلم is away or is it not that statement of imam الجنيد رحمه الله it's in hand it goes hand in hand the ayah of Allah سبحانه وتعالى ومن يشاقق الرسول من بعد ما تبين له الهداء ويتمع غير السبيل المؤمنين نوليه ما تولى ونصله جهنم وساءة مصيرا and also goes hand in hand with the hadith of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم which the prophet said إمام البخاري the muslim both narrated it من حديث أبيه ريرا that the prophet said كل أمة يدخلون الجنة everyone from my umma will enter jannah إلا من أبا except the one who refuses everyone's gonna enter jannah except the one who says I don't wanna enter jannah the sahabas were amazed who would not wanna enter jannah جنة is what ما لا عين الرأت ولا أذن سمعت ولا خطر على قلبي بشر جنة is where eyes have never seen eyes have never had up and has never come to the heart of any individual so who would it be the person who would not wanna enter jannah so they said يا رسول الله من يأب يا رسول الله who's the one who's gonna say I don't wanna enter jannah then the prophet said من أطاعني دخل جنة the one who obeys me he will enter jannah من أصاني and anyone who disobeys me فقد أبا he's refused he's the one who said I don't want to if you don't obey the messenger you've refused yourself from entering jannah don't blame anyone else blame yourself إخواني the final point that I'm gonna conclude the خطبة with is ما يترتب على اتباع الرسول what are the things that a person would gain by following the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and number one الهدا guidance following the prophet's guidance الله تبارك وتعالى he said واتبعوه العلكم تهتدون follow him you will find guidance the second is brothers the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم by follow him you will be upon the straight path سراط المستقيم as Allah سبحانه وتعالى he said ومن الناس من يجادل في الله بغير علم ويتبع كل الشيطان مريض كتب عليه أنه من توله فأنه يضله ويهديه إلى عذاب السعير الله سبحانه وتعالى he said from the people are those who argue in the affairs of the religion without knowledge and they follow every form of shaytan those people it has been written for them that whoever they take and they follow they will take its path and the one who follows the shaytan he will be misguided and he will be taken to the house fire the hadith of the ayah has a monthok and the monthum is that anyone who takes the prophet's path he will enter jannah because Allah سبحانه وتعالى he said وإنك لا تهدي إلى سراط المستقيم the fourth benefit that we take brothers the third story is من أسباب دخول رحمة الله following the prophet you will gain a mess of Allah سبحانه وتعالى Allah said ورحمتي وسعت كل شيء فسأكتبها للذين يتبعون فسأكتبها للذين فسأكتبها للذين يتقون ويؤتون الزكاتة والذين هم بآياتنا يؤمنون الذين يتبعون الرسول النبي الأمي الله سبحانه وتعالى ماسي has become vast and I have written for everyone who is pious and everyone who is going to give zakat والذين هم بآياتنا يؤمنون and those who believe in our verses الذين يتبعون الرسول النبي الأمي those who follow the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم the fourth brothers is سبب الفلاح والنجاح في الدنيا والآخر you will find success in this world and in the hereafter in this world and in the hereafter الله سبحانه وتعالى He said فالذين آمنوا به وعزروه ونصروه واتبعوا النور الذي أنزل مع أولائكهم المفلحون the ones who follow the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who honor him who give him victory and follow the light in which he was sent with verily those are the successful ones the fifth which is the last one that a person will gain if they follow the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم is الله will love you and the ayah clearly mentions it قول إن كنتم تحبون الله فتبعوني يحببكم الله follow me الله will love you and you always have to remember ليس الشأن and تحب the matter is not for you to love ولكن الشأن كل الشأن and تحب but the matter is that you are loved in return that is what it really matters it's not enough that you love Allah alone but what really matters is that Allah loves you in return الله مغفل لنا ذنوبنا وإصرافنا في أمرنا وثبت أقدامنا وانصرنا على القوم الكافرين الله مغفل لنا هزلنا وجدنا وخطأنا وعمدنا وكل ذلك عندنا يرب العالمين الله ملا تجعل الدنيا أكبرها منها ولا مبلغ علمنا ولا تصلط علينا بدنوبنا من لا يخاف كفين ولا يرحمنا ربئات نفوسنا تقواها وزكها أنت خير من زكاها أنت وليها ومولاها ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب النار واقم الصلاة


What's going on guys, it's your boy DPJ here today with another Destiny video and today I bring you my true meaning of war looting results from the past week. But before we get into my loot, let's quickly discuss the year 2 moments of triumph. Now the year 1's moment of triumph rewarded us with an exclusive emblem. The year 2 version is believed to offer a little more. Now there are 8 tasks you need to complete in order to get hold of this exclusive loot. Now the 8 tasks I will show you guys on screen now. In completing these tasks, it's believed that there's 4 rewards, 2 shaders and 2 emblems. But it's also believed that there could be something else, a classified item, what this could be at the moment we have no idea. The moments of triumph of year 2 will kick off on Bungie Day which is the 7th of July next Thursday. I'm pretty excited to see what this classified item could be, but what do you think is let me know down below in that comment section. Now getting into my true meaning of war loot for the past week and starting on my hunter, I received a spare change, a legendary Porsche rifle, dropping at a 3.34 ATK, muds were surrounded and glass half full, along with perfect balance. Not a bad role to be honest and there was a time when this would wreck in PVP, but I'm afraid then days are gone. Moving on to my titan, now we see the real wing exotic gauntlets. Exotics I didn't currently own year 2 versions of, so not bad at all. Shame they dropped at a 1 below par at a 3.34 DEF. Moving on to my warlock and I received the Isoluna, the baby Hawkmoon, a weapon in fact in my opinion with the right role, is a better weapon than the Hawkmoon. My role on this one wasn't the best but could have been a lot worse. It dropped with danger close and 3rd eye along with 3 ranged perks, so not too bad. Shame about that first perk though, I want this weapon with a ranged perk or a stability perk with luck in the chamber, I just can't get one drop. So guys, they are my true meaning of war loot results for the past week. If you guys do this on a weekly basis, let me know what you've got this past week. Thanks for stopping by as always, do hit that like button, I do appreciate the support and I'll catch you guys on that next one. Peace out until next time. PEACE!


homesteads or long-term rentals. So not second homes, not short-term rentals. And it requires occupancy. It requires the certification proof of that occupancy happening initially and on an annual basis to continue to get that exemption. And if you do not meet those qualifications, you pay back all of the exemption you previously did not with interest. So if for two years you qualified and then in the third year you stop qualifying, you owe it all back, right? So it's really to make sure that folks are gonna be doing what they say for the entire five-year period if they wanna take this. There's an initial and annual certification process through the agency of commerce and community development. This freeze applies to the education property tax value, right? So what I'm describing folks may recognize municipalities can already do through a similar mechanism called tax stabilization agreements. The big challenge that they have is that they can either only offer that for the municipal share of property taxes or they could offer it for a property's share of the education tax, but then the town has to make up that education tax on the rest of their property taxpayers. So what we're talking about here is the state having some skin in the game to say, hey, you can offer a similar incentive and exemption without the town having to make up for the rest of that. Additionally, towns can opt in to this specific program if they want to because it should be easier to manage that tax stabilization, but it's not a requirement. That's a town by town vote. Then rehab qualifies if it actually meets certain definitions of blighted and has a certain levels of investment on it, right? So that's sort of the big first one. And we're basing it on programs that we've seen around the country, right? Not only existing Vermont law that offers very similar options for municipalities to use today that I think are underutilized because of the impact of the statewide education tax, but very similar programs we see in localities all around the country in I think about a dozen states. And so this is really a program that is a type of program that's been out there doing good things. The property transfer tax exemption. So briefly that is a property transfer tax is paid on the transfer of real property in Vermont, usually paid by the buyer. So this would be an exemption for buyers who are purchasing blighted property with a certification that they will rehab it so that it can be used again for owner-occupied homesteads or long-term rentals within three years. And again, to keep that exemption, they have to show us. They have to either, the property has to have a homestead declaration on it or a landlord certificate that shows it's a long-term rental. And if they don't, we claw it back. That's available statewide, not just designated areas because you wanna be able to rehab blighted property anywhere. And both of these have a very modest price tag attached to them when you look at the existing activity that would get exemptions, right? And so if we do our jobs well here in this area, what you'd see is hopefully down the line, when you start to calculate the tax expenditure, it would be much higher than the projection today because we're talking about the forecasts and the projections and the activity that happens today compared to what could happen if we were to do all of the reforms that we're talking about to use specific incentives. Thank you very much, Commissioner Rolio. We're actually not gonna take any questions. You are the lucky one. I have to throw because we want to make sure in the next 15 minutes that we have time to devote to the pathways folks who have come a long ways. So we appreciate your time and attention here. And obviously this is not gonna be the end of our time together. So it's been very helpful. I know particularly for our committee and human services to hear some of the other things, more details on that. So thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Okay, we're gonna hear now from Pathways, Maria and Cheryl. Yes, yes. And just as a reminder, the Habitat for Humanities Center Vermont Habitat is gonna be this afternoon, after lunch, which is now abbreviated. All right. Fast food. Welcome and thank you for traveling all the way here. You traveled to some distance and thank you for being here in person. We really appreciate it. So please just introduce yourself for the record and the floor is yours. Thank you. Yes, thank you very much for the opportunity to speak with you all today. My name is Maria Hoare, Director of Roman Communications for Pathways, Vermont. I'm Cheryl Jackins. I am the Housing Program Director for Pathways. So yes, there are the information that's been shared with the committee is this one page document that might be going up on the screen. They're figuring that out now. So I'll just give a really brief overview of Pathways. Pathways, Vermont has been providing a variety of programs and services throughout the state since 2010 started as a pilot program for Housing First in 2009 in Chittenden County and has since expanded in terms of where Housing First is currently offered and in other core programs that we offer. We work with individuals who are experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges and are involved with corrections to name a few of the populations. We provide innovative mental health alternatives, use a peer approach in all of our programs and value the lived experience of our staff members and other program participants. So as I mentioned, our first and largest program is Housing First. We is up behind you now. Okay, thank you. And I'm sure it will be appearing momentarily in our committee pages. Okay. Yes, it is in housings. Thank you. So our Housing First program is through partnerships with both the Department of Mental Health and the Department of Corrections and in seven counties through the Department of Mental Health through both partnerships and then an additional two counties through the Department of Corrections. And then the three proposals that we are bringing this year is to bring Housing First statewide is one possibility, which would, that investment would bring housing and services to 500 households and it would expand using our existing infrastructure and staffing to those currently unserved counties. Other ideas that we're proposing are bringing Housing First to the Northeast Kingdom and another possibility is bringing it to Rutland County where we already... It's not high enough. If you go in the House General, you can find it as Stem-Velde said, it's there. So in Rutland County where we do have a team already, Housing First team working with our Department of Corrections partnership. So those are the possible proposals we were presenting this year. And Chair, I wanted to talk a little bit about the specifics of Housing First and how it works day to day. Yeah, I'm just, I don't have a spreadsheet. Kind of share a little bit of what the day to day looks like providing services in a Housing First program, which looks like what we call an ACT team, which stands for Assertive Community Treatment. We are running eight of those around the state. And so those teams are multi-disciplinary. We have a shared caseload which means everyone on the team is seeing everyone on the caseload and sharing those relationships, those connections, whatever their kind of specialty is. We are focused on allowing person receiving services to kind of drive the services that they think are relevant. And also really focused on developing connections with the individuals, which is kind of what I call the secret sauce. So two years ago, I think we were funded to expand into Bennington. So we have an ACT team up and running in Bennington now for those two years, took a little bit to get it up and running. And one story out of Bennington is a woman I'll call her Jane. So Jane is 64, she's been living outside in Bennington for six years that we know about. Sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. That's okay. And she, a lot of people like who she is, she's just kind of a fixture, which to me sounds like that's just Jane, she's homeless. So we met Jane, she didn't always want to talk to us. You know, we couldn't always find her. Took some time when we built that connection. Oh, here he is again, you guys. Next week, she's gonna be in her apartment for a year. And so she is now, her story is that she is the person who uses the local library and loves to read about history. She likes to listen to classical music. She likes to cook and she has recipes that she cooks from scratch and from memory that she will tell you about. So I think if we move into the state, we'll have a lot more stories like this. And I just wanna say, we've been listening all morning to talk about numbers and policies and this and that. So I wholeheartedly thank you for coming and bringing a story of somebody with lived experience and that's to ground us all and that's what we're talking about. Not numbers. Yeah. Yeah, and I would remind you that she's one of. Of many. Hundreds that I've gotten to. Yes. I'd love to bring some more back to you next year. Okay. Are you ready for questions? Sure. Okay, Representative Stevens has one. I just wanna thank you for coming in, A, for making the trip. You got a nice day to drive anyway. But I just also, I've been pathways in its forms, in its both, but it's pilot form. And then as an SSA has come through our committee looking for support over the years and facts and figures that you've provided over the years which are available about the differences in the saving. Which is kind of a weird way to look at it or it's a comparative savings to say, oh, it's how many thousands of dollars a month for an emergency room bed versus how many hundreds of dollars it might be to house somebody through a housing first program. So I just, and it just, the thing that stood out always it's the relationships that you build between the clients, yourselves, the clients and people who provide the housing. And so now that you're in Bennington, given that we're in a housing crisis, what has your experience been in terms of building those relationships with landlords who are willing to take on clients who may or may not be easy to deal with? And how do you develop that kind of relationship with them? Yeah, we have a housing team. So that's really kind of there when I say it's a multi-disciplinary team, they're discipline is the housing, they're really developing the relationships with landlords, with homeowners, kind of in the same way that the service team is developing relationships with the service participants. So kind of, I always describe it as like curating those relationships with the landlords and I don't know, involving them in our mission. Talk, you know, some of these folks don't look great on paper, right? So just telling a different story, right? They're going to come with us. They're going to, you know, make changes, make growth, you can be part of that. These are the ways we're going to respond when things don't go well. We're looking at, you know, connecting the landlords really with resources, like VHIP, like the Landlord Relief Fund and helping them navigate those systems. We have a little bit of capacity to jump in ourselves when those things happen a lot. Or, you know, helping the tenants navigate, say, hop grant funding through the community actions when they run up against, they're getting behind on their ranch where they can't pay their utilities. And so really kind of selling that package and that mission to the landlords and staying involved, not just like, you know, Lisa and we don't hear from you again, right? They're, we want to make them be part of our team as much as we can. Rep. Sam Garifano, but I just want to ask just a quick question. So are the folks that you support, are they folks that are in the coordinated entry? They are, yeah. They're in the database, so they're part of that system. The exception of our Department of Corrections. Corrections, yeah. They're on the furrow process, but the majority otherwise are coming through coordinated entry. Yes. Thank you. Rep. Sam Garifano. Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you so much for your work and for being here. I'm wondering how long do the service participants have access to your services? Is it time? Yeah. Right. That's amazing. Thank you. So when we're talking about the three-legged stool and the supportive services, this is one avenue for people to receive supportive services. And I think that, you know, if you have a chance to look at the graphic that's on the website, it's seems like a pretty cost-effective way to do that for sure. One question that I have is like, you know, we're talking about, we hear all the time about staffing shortages and workforce and stuff.  Do you feel like you would be able to recruit the staff that are necessary to carry out the proposal? I think we have been very effective in building teams as the teams have grown into new communities. And we have worked very hard, you know, very mission-driven organization value very much the lived experience of our staff. And I think, you know, our staff retention has been strong. You want to help that? Yeah, I think our staff retention is like 2.7, something like that. There's also another figure sort of comparative DAs and what their understaffing number is. And I don't know the numbers offhand, but I know that ours are better. So it just speaks to, I think, probably like the team aspect and just the culture that we're trying to maintain. Thank you. Yeah, go ahead, Rep. Yeah, just that one. Yeah, thank you. It comes out like reverse sometimes. So the folks that I talked, spoken with and through Pathways have been seem to just life-changing. And, but that's, you know, a couple of individuals I've spoken to. Can you talk about your success rate, generally? I mean, so I have numbers in terms of, you know, our all-time housing retention rate for housing first clients is 86%. Ended the cyclical homelessness for, you know, 873 per monthers. So I think over time, this program has proven widely that it's very successful. Yeah, I was down for the 86th number. I knew it was like 85-ish. Yeah, so, yeah. Thank you. Other questions? Right. Thank you so much. And again, as Rep. Steven said, thank you for traveling up on this day. And, you know, it's nice to end this session talking about people and talking about the success that you've had in this model and supporting people. So thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you all for having us. Thanks, I'm excited. Okay, Ron, we're done.


Ladies and gentlemen, the story you're about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.  You're assigned a bunco fugitive detail. An organized gang of pickpockets is working in your city. None of the victims can give a description of the suspects. There's no lead to their identity. Your job? Get them. With the winter season coming on, young America and all of us will be concentrating on our favorite winter sports. Ice skating, bowling, basketball, skiing. One thing you'll notice, whatever young America does, wherever it goes, Chesterfield goes along. Yes, Chesterfield is the choice of young America. Chesterfield is the choice of more thousands of smokers everywhere. People are learning the facts about Chesterfield. Learning that Chesterfield is highest in quality, low in nicotine. Learning that Chesterfield is really mild, really satisfying. How about it, friends? Change to Chesterfield yourself. Smoke America's most popular two-way cigarette. Regular and king-sized Chesterfield. Best for you. The documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step-by-step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Tuesday, May 10th. We were working the day watch out of Bunko Fugitive Division. Pickpocket detail. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Didion. My name's Friday. I was on my way back from communications and it was 11.14 a.m. when I got to room 38. Bunko. Joe. Yeah. Anything come in from St. Louis? Yeah, they checked the car and he's playing back there. No trace of back. Tup was wrong, then, huh? Yeah, it looks like it. Or two now. Well, about all we can do is sit and wait for a reply on the radio gram. He's got to be someplace and he isn't going to stop working. He'll be worried on him somewhere. I'll be glad when we turn the key. Excuse me. Yes, sir? I wonder if they could help me. Oh, we'll try, sir. You want to come on in? What's it all about? I've been robbed. Sir? I took my money, all of it, every bit. I don't know how, but they took it all. I don't know what to do. Well, do you want to sit down? Yes, please. I don't know how they did it. I tried to be so careful, but they took it all. 37 years doing without, and now I got nothing. Oh, this is my partner, Frank Smith. My name's Friday. Maybe if you tell us what happened here, we could help you. Yes, maybe. I'm Lewis Bonning. Yes, sir? I live at 1820 Woodworth Court, Los Angeles 12. I have a room there. I see. $15 a week in privileges. If you tell us what happened, Mr. Bonning, we might be able to do something for you. I'm trying to tell you. I'm trying to think of what happened. I don't believe it yet. I know you said you were robbed. Is that right? Yes, $5,200. All gone. Well, were you held up? No, nothing like that. If it was that way, I'd know. But just all of a sudden, I put my hand in my pocket to feel the money, and it wasn't there. Nothing was there.  Come on, sir. Do you usually carry that much money around with you? Yes, sir. I got it from the bank this morning. I'm going away. I was leaving Los Angeles. That's why I had the money, so I could leave. All right, sir. I suppose you start right at the beginning and tell us the whole story, won't you? Well, my wife passed on four weeks ago, Monday, April 4th. That's when it happened, April 4th. For her? We came to this country when we were both young. She died four weeks ago. Yes, sir. If you'd gone about the theft, please. Well, I thought I'd maybe go back to Chicago to live with one of my daughters. She asked me to come, and I thought I would, so I drew out the money. You took the money out of the bank? Yes, this morning. $5,200. That's what we'd saved. I couldn't leave it here in the bank if I was going to be in Chicago. Well, you could have had the money transferred, you know. I guess that's what I should have done, but it's too late now. Did you have the money when you left the bank? Yes. I rolled the bills up and put them here in my pocket. Here, this one on the left side. I kept my hand on the money, so I knew it was there. Now, what'd you do after you left the bank? Well, I was going home. I thought I'd walk home. I went down the street, and then I thought I'd stop for some coffee. I was all packed at my room, so I didn't want to make a mess. I thought I'd have a cup of coffee out. I went into the big market. They have a coffee counter there, and I went in and sat down. All the time I kept my hand on the money. I could feel it through the pants. It was in my pocket. Yes, sir. I had the coffee in, and I went to go out of the market. As I walked through all the people, a box fell off a stack of boxes. It almost hit me. I didn't think anything about it. Nobody was hurt. All the people in the market came over to me and asked if I was all right. But I said, yes, I was all right. Then I went out of the market. I got on the street when I remembered about the money, and it was gone. Now, it had been taken from you in the market. Is that right? Yes, mister. It was in the market, I think. Well, let's get this straight. While you were in there, did anyone bump into you? I don't understand.  No. No, I don't remember it. Did anybody follow you from the bank to the market that you noticed? It was hard to tell, mister. There are a lot of people on the streets. It would be hard to tell if there was anyone. Yes, sir, I understand. But was there any one person you recall having seen this morning, one face that you might remember, maybe? No, mister, I tried to think about it, but there's no one. I see. Do you think you'll get it back for me? Sir. The money. It makes a big difference. How's that? Before, when I had the money, I could go and live with my daughter. With the money, I could be independent and be a different feeling. You understand, don't you? Yes, sir, I do. That's why it's so important you get the money back so I can go live with my daughter, so I can do that. That's the only reason I trouble you. The only reason I have to ask you to find the man. That's the only reason I got him. That's a little different with us, sir. Huh? We've got another one. For the past several weeks, we've been getting reports of the existence of an organized gang of pickpockets working in Los Angeles. Contrary to most opinion, a pickpocket seldom works alone. Like everything else, it's gotten to be a highly specialized operation. Normally, there are several men to each team. The jug mob, who usually spends his time in banks looking for the victim. The shover, who pushes or bumps the victim so his money can be taken. And the wire, who does the actual pocket picking. In certain types of operation, the jug mob is replaced by the short, who works street cars and spots people who have large amounts of money. Under normal circumstances, a professional group of pickpockets can take approximately $5,000 a day out of a tip or a crowd. 1147 a.m. We had the victim, Louis Bonning, look through the pictures of known pickpockets for a possible identification of the man who'd taken his money. He was unable to find anybody who looked familiar. We told him to go home, and we said that we'd be in touch with him. 1235 p.m. Frank and I checked back into the office. It's a rough one, huh? Yeah, they all come out that color, don't they? I sure hope we can do some good for them. Yeah, nice old guy. You want to get in touch with Slim Ramos? Let's go down and talk to him. He might be able to come up with something. Yeah, I'll get his number. I gotta get a new book. This one's getting almost impossible to use. Look at this. The number's all crossed out. You know, when they change the prefixes. Yeah. I sure made a mess out of my book. Here it is. That's good. Slim Ramos there? Hey, Slim, this is Frank Smith. Yeah. Good. Yeah, say Slim. Now, wait a minute. Now, the reason I called you, Joe and I would like to come down and talk to you if it's okay. You gonna be there this afternoon? Uh-huh. No, nothing wrong. Just a couple of things we want to check over with you. Yeah. Okay. See you around 2.30, huh? Is that all right? Yeah. Okay. No, I know where it is. Right. See you then. He's gonna be in all afternoon. Said he'd be glad to see us. Good. Maybe he's got something we can use on this thing. Well, he'll lay it out for us if he has. That's the one good thing about starting with nothing, isn't it? Yeah. We can only go one way. We're gonna go to the beach at 6 p.m. Frank and I checked out of the office and we started for Santa Monica. Slim Ramos had been one of the best pickpockets in the business. He'd been arrested and served a term in San Quentin. After he'd been paroled, he'd opened a small stand on one of the amusement piers near the beach. From his past record, Ramos had been cooperative with the police department, and several arrests were attributed to his information. Ramos was operating a wheel of fortune booth at the end of the pier. Frank and I parked the car and walked out. Quite a place, huh? Yeah. I gotta bring the kids down here some Sunday to get a real kick out of it. Yeah. That's Slim's booth there, isn't it? Yeah. I don't see him. He said he'd be here. He might be around back. Yeah. I sure like to win one of those hands. Yeah. Big ones, aren't they? Uh-huh. Slim, you around? Yeah, hold on. I'll be right out. Frank. Oh, are you? I was in the back, packaging some groceries. Uh-huh. What can I do for you? I'd like to talk to you about a cannon operation. Yeah, I should have known. Come on back here. We can sit down. All right. Watch your heads on the counter. Yeah. Got a couple of chairs back here. I'm going to ship the sacking. All right. Go ahead. Oh, what's it about?  What kind of operation? Jug mob. I think I heard something about a bunch coming in from the east. KC, I think. Seems I heard they worked a couple of still dates with a tiny back there. Boss didn't know they were working. When he found out, he had them kicked off a lot. You got any names for us? No, not right off. Got to check around. Might be able to come up with them. What's the bet? Yeah, they've been scoring good work in the downtown area. Took an elderly man for his life savings this morning. Uh-huh. Figures? Huh? They always pick on the elderly ones. Bump into a young guy might give you trouble. Pick the old ones. They don't seem to notice it. Yeah. How you been doing, Slim? Oh, good. Got it real good. I ain't killing the world, but my rent's paid.  I got it real good. How long you been here now? Well, I guess it's been about a year. I thought if I could get permission, I might go out with a carney this year.  Mm-hmm. Got a letter from a friend that's got a grind store, one of the big ones. He says he might be able to get me in. A grind store?  Pay a dime to win a piece of slum worth maybe a couple of cents. Well, this carney I might go with's got no grift in the front end or percentage games. The way I figured, if you go out with a good one, the weather holds you're going to do all right. Well, you figured you can come out better than you do here? Oh, sure. You see, we get a real good play over the weekends. Regular days is kind of slow.  You can draw crowds any time if the weather's good. Bound to come out better. You'll check into those names for us, will you, Slim? Yeah, I'll make a couple of calls. Can you make them now? No, I'll have to get in touch with the guys tonight. I'll get back to you first thing in the morning. All right, fine. Same number, Michigan 5211. That's right. Bunker fugitive. Yeah, all right. I'll give you a call. Buy you guys a cup of coffee? No, thanks, Slim. We're just going to eat. You want to come along? We'll buy you one. Okay. Now, hold on while I check with Harry. Have him keep an eye on things. All right.  Okay. Now, watch the counter.  Hold on a minute. I'll be right back. All right. I slug him plays, huh? Yeah. I thought you were down here last time. Yeah. Well, let's go. You painted up the place, huh, Slim? Yeah. Thought I might turn a bigger tip if the place looked good. You know, people like it clean looking place. How are the rest of the booths doing down here, Slim? Pretty good. I told you, weekends we do great. Other times a little slow. Uh-huh. Any griff down here? No, at least if there is, I haven't heard of it. Guy in the Santa Monica Police Department, Lieutenant Cunningham, he keeps the place real clean. Yeah, that's right. Last thing I heard about was a guy who was working with a camelback wheel. A what? Like mine. Only this was gaffed. How? Smoothest pitch around. The arrow is connected to a spindle. The spindle goes through a stand. Looks like it'd be no way to gee it. Plain pipe looks clean. What's the gimmick? All the frame rests on four pins. The pins are supposed to be what anchors it to the counter. Uh-huh. Now, three of the pins go into one piece of the counter. They really do hold the wheel in place. The other one goes through a separate piece of wood on the booth side of the counter. There's a space between the board on the booth side and one of the three legs go through. Yeah. Now, the pin in the fourth leg is loose.  It acts as a brake on the wheel. All the operator has to do is lean against the board and he's got complete control of the wheel all the time. That's a real nice deal, isn't it? Yeah. The way they figured it's perfect. In case they get a cowboy in the crowd, the mark can pick the wheel right up out of the counter. It shows that there's no wires running to it. The wheel's gaffed. There's no way to prove it. Set it up with a couple of sticks in front. Let them win a couple of times. You got it made. That's the way they figure it. It doesn't work out, though. Well... Now, like on my wheel, I got 120 numbers on it. If I figure I get good action, I'm gonna have maybe half of them covered. Right off the odds are on my side. Out of the rest, there's only one winner. Half of them covered means a gross of about six bucks. I give away five dollars worth of groceries. Even with a winner, I come out every time. Percentage is proven. Look at it that way, you don't need a gaffed wheel. That's too bad more of them don't figure it like that. Yeah, I suppose. Took me a long time to find it out. Yeah, but you came up with the answers. I hope I can do the same for you on the cannon operation. So do we. It's funny. I get to think of when I was working as a wire. Now we figured that any time we could lift a poke from a mark was a big laugh. A lot of difference now. Yeah, right? Yeah. Now I sleep nights. 2.15 p.m. We continue to talk to our informant, Slim Remus. He said that he didn't know the name of the carnival or possible suspects had been fired from. He said that he'd call some of his contacts and try to get the information for us. We set up a time for him to get in touch with us and then Frank and I drove back to the office. We contacted Captain Didion and made arrangements for additional men to be assigned to help us. Sergeant John DeBetta and Danny Gilmore were asked to aid us in a search of the market where the victim had been robbed. We spent the next three hours in the market looking at the crowd in the hopes that we'd see a known pickpocket or even see a wire in operation. But the surveillance netted us nothing. We made arrangements for the victim's bank to be watched the following morning. 6.15 p.m. Frank and I got back to the squad room. Well, he sure does a good business, doesn't he? What? The market, Joe. A lot of people go in there. Yeah. What's the matter with you? Well, I was just thinking. I guess it comes down to the point where the only way to hang on to your money is to carry it in your hand and keep your fist closed. It's getting close. I was talking with Lieutenant Jack Swan. He was telling me a guy came in here from Nebraska, came in by bus. Yeah. We sat in the station waiting for a coach to take him up north. Had all these money in his shoe. In his shoe? Yeah. Had it in his left shoe. Had the money all flat so we could walk on it. Figured it'd be safe there. Wasn't it? No. Dozed off for a minute.  How would anybody know where it was? I don't know. The guy that took it found it, though. Guy dozed off for a minute, loses his shoe, and all his money. Anything turn up on it? No. Again. Uncle feeds you the Friday. Yeah. Yeah, Slim. Mm-hmm. What was that name again? Yeah. Mm-hmm. What'd he say about it? Wait a minute. Try? Yeah. Here you go. Yeah, pencil. Pencil, too. Yeah. Okay, thank you. You're welcome. Go ahead. Was that with a K? Mm-hmm. What? O-L-C? C is in Charlie. O-T-T. Right. You know where they stand. All right. We'll give us a call if anything more turns up, huh? Right. Okay, Slim. Thanks a lot. Right. Bye. How'd he do? Well, pretty good. Three names of the guys who worked the Carney and KC. Yeah. Slim talked to a friend, got the information that the guys who work in the downtown area have been scoring real good. Say where we could find them? No. He's going to try to get the address for us.  The deal now is to make it work. What do you mean? Well, Slim says his bunch is pretty hinky. They're playing it real careful. Yeah. Words out, they got two more big scores to make, and then they're going to leave town. You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action. Smokers by the thousands are now changing to Chesterfield because they're learning the facts about Chesterfield. Facts like these. A doctor has been examining Chesterfield smokers for 20 months, almost two full years now. We've just received his latest report, and it confirms again no adverse effects to the nose, throat, and sinuses from smoking Chesterfield. That's a matter of record, and so is this. Chesterfield is the only cigarette-proved, highest in quality, low in nicotine. Those are the facts about Chesterfield. More good reasons why Chesterfields taste so good. Smoke so much milder. How about it, friends? Smoke America's most popular two-way cigarette. Chesterfield, regular and king-size. Best for you. The three names our informant had given us were Howard Kremmer, Victor Leiden, and Edward Alcott. We had the names checked through our record bureau, but we found that none of the three men had been arrested in Los Angeles. We got a radiogram off to the police department in Kansas City, the last place the trio was known to have worked. We asked that all information on the thieves be forwarded to us. We also sent a teletype to George Braden up at Sacramento CII, asking him to check the names for us. The following morning, Wednesday, May 11th, we got word from Kansas City that the officials there were forwarding mug shots and descriptions of the three men.  On Friday morning, when Frank and I checked into work, a special delivery letter was waiting for us. In it, we found the records and pictures of Kremmer, Leiden, and Alcott. The pictures were handed over to the photo lab, and they started to reproduce them. The descriptions were sent to the print shop, and MO sheets were made up. As soon as possible, the pictures and the bulletins were distributed to all bank guards in the area. Additional officers from Bunko Pugetive were placed in the vicinity. Frank and I maintained a rolling stake out in the downtown area. At 9 p.m. Friday night, the banks closed, and we'd gotten no report that the thieves had worked. Local broadcasts were gotten out on the men, but there were no replies. Monday, May 16th, the plan was put into effect again. No results. Tuesday, the gang didn't work. They began to look as if they might have closed up operations in Los Angeles and moved on. Wednesday, May 18th, Frank and I came back from lunch. I get it. Bunko Fugitive Friday. Yes, sir. Where? Right. No, don't do anything. Let him know. Right. Let's go. Something good? The shover bank guard just spotted him. The call had come from a bank at the corner of 7th and Jackson streets. The guard told us that he'd seen one of the suspects enter the bank and under the pretense of filling out deposit slips, observe the withdrawals that the customers were making. It took us a little under three minutes to get to the address. We checked with the guard and he pointed out the suspect. Frank pretended to make out a deposit slip while I waited at the new account desk. When we entered the bank, the suspect was standing at the teller's window. In front of him was an elderly man. As the line moved up, the suspect began to examine the slip that he'd made out. Then as the elderly man took his turn at the window, the suspect walked away and stopped by the door. He waited for the man to finish his business at the teller's counter. Then as he passed through the door, the suspect fell and stepped behind him. Frank and I followed him down the street. As they walked through the crowds, Frank and I saw the driver in the operation. The elderly man entered a small tobacco store and as he went through the door, the wire, Howard Kremmer, joined the other two suspects. As the elderly man stood at the counter waiting to be served, the shover walked over to the magazine rack. He stood looking at the magazines for a moment and then as he turned away, he seemingly tripped and fell against the proposed victim. Well, Frank and I knew it was coming. We were watching for it and yet we missed the actual theft. The wire moved in and removed the victim's money so fast that we couldn't see it. We took the wallet from the wire and the gang was ready to move on. Frank and I stepped into him. All right, Mr. Police officers, you're under arrest. For what? Stop dreaming. You know the rotten. Now come on. Beat him. Come on, grab a gun. Shoving a citizen around. No reason for this. How about the other two? They're out. All right, let's get them downtown. How about the victim? No, he left when the beast started. Better try to catch him. You're going to be sorry for this. We're going into custody and brought downtown. The victim's wallet was found on the person of Edward Alcott. It was identified by the owner and booked as evidence. 3.15 p.m. We took the wire, Howard Kremmer, to the interrogation room. Sit down, Kremmer. Yeah. All right, you want to give us a statement? For what? Come off it. You know what we're talking about. You've got to have me crossed with somebody else. I'm trying to level with you. I don't know what you're talking about. You want us to lay it out for you? I don't care much either way.  There ain't any other words. Your two friends tell it different. What two friends? Two fellas we picked up with you? This is a big time. A lot of people. You walk into a store, you don't ask who's standing next to you. They put the whole deal on you. Lied in an Alcott. Never heard of them. How long do you figure you're going to keep this up, mister? As long as it takes to get you on my side. They don't build days that long. That's your loss. I'm a nice fella if you take the time to get to know me. All right, Kremmer. This is way off the road. Now maybe you got all day we haven't. You can either give it to us here or now, we'll wait it out. You put me in a tank and I'll be out in half an hour. How many times have you been arrested? Who says there was a first? How many times? You got the books? Look it up. We asked you a question. So I'm not a genius. I got trouble with addition. Take everything out of your pockets. What? Come on. Or why? Look, you're running out of funny time here, Kremmer. Then you better ring the bell because I'll need more of it. You got a job? Yeah, I'm a president of a bank. You're going way out on this, Kremmer. I like the scenery. You work? Yeah. Where? Round, no special place. What do you do? I'm looking forward. All right, now come on. Put your things on the table right now. You can assign a receipt? They are going to be taken from you. You want to see what you're carrying. Okay. Your boys deserve a break, but I'll tell you now, the numbers on my phone book are mine. Don't go near them.  Here's my watt. Handkerchief, comb, nail clippers, some change. A couple of ticket stubs from the movie. A lousy picture. Cigarette slider, that's it. You got any money in that wallet? Yeah. How much? I don't know. I don't pay much attention to how much I'm carrying. I'm closed. How much you got? No. Take it out and count it. Okay. One, two, three. All right. Comes up to $3,700. You must do real good at that salesman's job. Company pays big commissions. I'd put the money in your pocket. Why don't you put it in yours? What'd you say? Look, cop, I've been around. I've been with most of the carties in the country one time or another. I know the score.  Now, why don't you just take the money? Put it in your pocket. Now, forget I was ever in here. Won't be nobody hurt. The old guys may be out a couple hundred bucks, but so what? He won't miss it. Why not put the fix and we'll both come out all right? No, the fix just curdled, Kramer. You said we had the record when you called it. We got all the word about you. Way down the line you talk about how you worked with carnies. How long? What's the longest time you ever stayed with one outfit? I like to move. Yeah, sure you do. That's the way the people who run the show want it. Decent carnie doesn't want a guy like you around.   You do the indignant bit and then when that doesn't work, you try to buy your way out. You've had it, mister. We know it and your two buddies know it. When are you going to take a good look? Really figured you've got it made on. We know we have. The other two guys really cop out. The whole thing all comes down to how you engineered it. You buy what they say? We buy it. Then there isn't much more for me to say, is there? Not a great deal, no. Okay, let's go. How about a statement? Why? Make it easier on yourself. Easier if I cop out. You know what I mean? Yeah. All right. Bring the girl in. I'll give you a statement. Frank. Yeah. You mind if I have a smoke? What was that? I said, you mind if I have a smoke? No, go ahead. Wild one, isn't it? What? Head it all down so pat. Good shover. Better jug mop. I'll sit in the front row with any wire in the business. All that and it don't add up to a win. That's like you said. Huh? You got trouble with addition. The story you have just heard is true. The names were changed to protect the innocent.

And the passenger side rim is in excellent shape as well. No scuffs, scrapes or corrosion on that. As you go down this side of the truck, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the truck, hear the truck and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here.

It is a locking tailgate, I think it's the easy lift assist as well. This one comes with a Reese 16K fifth wheel that's included with the truck and you do get seven pin wiring back here. The bed is in really nice shape on here as well. The gate shuts nice and solidly and as you go down the driver's side just as clean as that passenger's side, we want to make sure you get the most accurate representation possible so when you get here all you got to do it, drive the truck, love it, you'll be all ready to go.

Back seats are in excellent condition as well, latch child safety system has the fixed glass rear window with the built-in rear defrost, no rips or tears on those seats, they do fold up for extra storage and you can see just how clean the carpeting and floor mats are back here. I like these extended cabs, the doors open up all the way so it's easy access to that back area and you do get power windows on the back here as well, then when you close the door it just kind of swings shut like so, swing comes with the factory brake controller, auto headlamps, tilt, steering wheel, you got your mileage and information buttons there, power windows, power locks and power mirrors and we'll hop inside the truck here and turn the ignition on so you can see all this stuff.
