There is a saying doing

0:04

the same thing over and over and expecting

0:06

a different result is the result of

0:09

senseless insanity. How

0:11

do you make sense of the senseless?

0:15

My name is Theo Henderson, hosting

0:17

creator of the podcast called Weedian

0:19

House, coming to iHeartRadio on December

0:22

fifth in Los Angeles.

0:24

Seventy five thousand people are in house on

0:27

a given night, Yet we continue to demonize

0:29

and criminalize him. Nimbis

0:32

and fickle politicians create a destructive

0:34

circus to advance this message.

0:37

Thus, Weedian House message is cleared

0:40

to be the elephant cleaner delegated to

0:42

clean up the excremental pile. Activists

0:45

for years have stated that dignified housing

0:48

is a human right, that substant usage

0:50

is a disease that requires treatment

0:52

and compassion and non incarceration.

0:55

Stigmas such as mental health hurdles

0:57

are not the cause of houselessness. Sim

1:00

Put, the major cause of houselessness is the

1:02

cost of living and stagnant wages.

1:05

A recent study by the Tuscan Pem

1:07

of Collaboration to End Homelessness supports

1:10

this. It also shows an increase

1:12

of elderly women facing houselessness.

1:16

The topics that our show will cover is

1:18

houselessness and the pernicious myths that

1:21

pervade our conversations. From a human

1:23

perspective, education isn't

1:25

empowering too to use to fight against the

1:27

arrows of misinformation, cruelty,

1:30

and calls for criminalization. On

1:33

my podcast, we're going to debunk the myths

1:35

around houselessness. We're going to remember

1:37

and humanize the community who have passed

1:40

on spotlighting Houselessness

1:42

Remembrance Day. More importantly,

1:45

we're going to look at the ways we criminalize

1:47

the un housed, because if you can demonize

1:49

in you can criminalize

1:52

weed in house covers far more than my story.

1:55

Unlike the mainstream media's way of speaking over

1:57

the house, my podcast centers

1:59

their voices the conversation. Houselessness

2:02

is not a monolith. To

2:04

quote my gateway into activism, Surely

2:07

Chisholm, we must reject not only does

2:09

stereotypes that others hold of us, but

2:11

also the stereotypes we hold of ourselves.

2:14

Society creates the expectation,

2:17

responsibility and decisions,

2:19

and if one fails to live up to them, blame

2:22

is a sign. We live in a capitalistic

2:24

society where there are winners and losers. Houselessness

2:27

is trapped by these rules. Hence, some

2:30

people facing houselessness believe

2:32

in the lies set against them and will work

2:34

diligently in their own oppression. Weedian

2:37

howse is the bomb in our society's gilead.
