I was there for a day back in January before covid, it was the most depressing hollow superficial place I’ve ever seen. I even started getting sick and left.
It’s only pretty once you go up into the mountains, otherwise around Venus beach is all weirdos and drug parties, it’s always been like that even thirty years ago when I was there !
I also know Venice in the 70s, 80s 90s ect--- I think I know VENICE much better then most anyone today. Rich in history, the property value is sky high. But I wouldn't want to live anywhere else---
Back during 1990's i lived in a homeless mission, and later became a manager, because i learned quick on how to use a computer. Every friday when the trains rolled into the train yards the hobo's averaged about 6 or 7 would come to the mission for the night, where they could get fed, dinner, breakfast a nice hot shower and some clean clothes.. They were an interesting lot, with their stories of their travels on the rails. A few, once in a while would stay at the mission for a month or so, going out for day labor, and save some money, tell me what life on the rail was really like.. I almost went on the rails with them and they would show my loops, but i chickened out. The thing about then is that most of then did not want to change their life, they were happy living as hobo's
Worrying about your bed roll (and your meagre belonings)and domewhere safe and dry to sleep can be a real hassle.I was homeless for a couple of years and it was stressful.Look after hourselves,ok.
I would just ignore the homeless because they can be dangerous. I have passed out food to them with a group which is fine. Even the homeless shelter told me never go there alone and always bring a friend with me.
Boy oh boy Mr German, that was a fantastic interview. I’ve never seen anyone talk to the homeless this long. You have put some real faces on the problem. They seemed like real good people who are just down on their luck. Congratulations for treating them with compassion. I will continue to watch and admire you. Keep up the good work. JC
This breaks my heart to see that California has fallen so low .... back in my day 60's and 70's ... we hitched out to California and lived on the streets too because the weather is perfect for that , but few of us were drug addicts and very few of us would even think of being so scummy as to build tarp houses on the streets ... we''d walk for miles to find some out of the way place to sleep. Times have really changed for the worse for sure. Coming from an old Street Person I can say what caused this is a combination of things , mostly this came from California wanting to treat people decently so they decriminalized drugs and homelessness ..but these decent and good people were basing their ideas on this in a past history sort of way . Most of the people who enacted these new laws are older and they remember a better type of street people who were constantly harassed by cops for no good reason at all ... but rather than realize this new breed on the streets is 100% different that what they had experience with .... they think this new situation must be the same as it was years ago ... so IE. Decent people Fucked up here and the only way to fix this problem is re-criminalize drug use on the street and bring back laws that make it a crime to set up house on city streets ...that will end this problem very quickly ... and it should be dealt with because this has nothing to do with high housing costs or job loss , these people are coming to California to simply take advantage of the new lax laws that allow them to get away with things few States would ever put up with.

If you made homelessness illegal, how would you punish people sleeping on the streets? Fines? They don't have any money to pay them? Jail? There's not enough capacity to house them. Should you free up prison space by releasing murderers and rapists instead? If California got tougher on the issue, the people would only move somewhere else, creating a problem for another state. It's a complicated issue that has no easy answers.
@@Steven-rp8zo I drank nightly and still do...I never was on anything other then alcohol or marijuana...drugs had nothing to do with why I was homeless
I’ve never understood people with “no ambition” who choose to use “stimulant street drugs” like meth and crack. What the hell do these people want to be “alert” for? They may as well drink “coffee”, if they want to be awake to do nothing all day.
@@Scorch1028 I think they were not taught to never "try" or "experiment", with those drugs, because there is no going back. Once their brain experiences the effect of crack or meth, etc., the brain is forever changed and they will severely crave that drug. This is why these ppl are stuck. They can't stop.
@@Scorch1028 because sometimes ppl get drugged, some ppl get forced, some ppl are born with addictions because of their parents doing drugs and when drugs get ahold of u even liquor it is now a physical addiction, which is very painful and sometimes deadly, that’s y most ppl who are addicted are depressed because they mentally know what’s wrong but their body craves it and it’s hard to fight. I’ve seen ppl have seizures trynna just simply stop drinking liquor cold turkey.

GIV, How about a follow-up on this couple to see how they are doing? They seem like kind souls who found each other and are trying to climb out of a hole. God bless all who are in this situation and trying to get out.
Well, there’s no reason for her to return to a cold climate if she’s just going to be homeless there. She’s better off in L.A. where it’s warm and there’s very little humidity.
@@Comeswoopfam where I'm from a sandwich and a hoagie are two different things. The poor Italian immigrants that worked on hog island in Philly used to throw a bunch of different lunch meats on a long roll. They called them hoggies. I guess somewhere along the way it changed to hoagies. A sandwich is a sandwich. A hoagie is an Italian hoagie.

Wow! Imagine experiencing 'agesism' when your homeless? Thats crazy! What do the Los Angeles social services think? That once your over 25 your life suddenly becomes 'together' and you have everything figured out? I feel that the homeless couple should shelter up anyway the street just isn't safe! A shelter provides: a hot shower, a place to wash your clothes, and a bed. Basically if you don't wish to be around anyone just get up an hour early before anyone else is up & take off! Then return just right before curfew/lights out. I've stayed in a shelter before, so I know that there are some crazies there.
It's only the neighbourhood of Hollywood that caters to homeless youth. Downtown L.A, Santa Monica, Venice, etc. have services mostly for adults. I was a homeless street punk on Hollywood Blvd. for 9 months in 1993 as a 19-year-old girl/young woman. I often slept in the lovely, quiet nature of Runyon Canyon Park. There was one shelter that only took minors under 18. It almost always had empty beds because kids that young were not common. Then I learned that another whole entire brand new shelter was being built, only for teens aged 14-16. The people running that one must have had to do a publicity campaign around the country luring children to run away to Hollywood in order to create the need. It made me uneasy. What were the true motivations of the 'do gooders' in that situation?
I went there for the first time in 1997: it was my first time in US and i thought I would find lots of nice bars, glamorous places and restaurants in the walk of fame. Instead so many homeless people and dark places. it was a big disappointment....US is better on the Movies of the 80s kkkkk
Thank you Mike for everything that you do I do enjoy that you do put people on your show that speak the truth about why there's homeless in our country. Like I said great job keep up the good work bud
The only problem is that I can barely hear what they are saying. Your voice is plenty loud but I can't hear them without struggling. Could you get a microphone to hold so you can hold it to them when they talk?
@@mikeymumblesreal Wow! I tried it and that is amazing! Only problem is that when you have to read what people are saying, you miss half of the video (the visual part). But thanks for telling me about that.
The lower class have a way of speaking I can only call mumbling or muttering. They almost talk like Boomhauer on King Of The Hill. They can understand each other, and that's all they need. Their conversations are going to be simple anyway, centering on free food, cigarettes, drugs, threats of violence etc.
I don’t think he should put a microphone in their face that would overall make the vibe weird. Instead like a better external mic that pics up directional sound better
Contrary to the homeless advocate grifters who “manage” the 100s of millions of taxpayer dollars being dumped their way to line their own pockets there is no housing shortage. There is a substance abuse and mental illness problem that will never be solved by the resources being offered to them. The homeless are here to take advantage of the mild weather, generous handouts and complete lack of enforcement of the laws to keep the community safe. Only the homeless’ rights to steal, assault, defecate and completely trash every area they occupy are to be respected and tolerated. The rights of the homeowners, business people and workers are to spat upon and mocked for wanting to keep the city safe and clean, they mean nothing except as a source of money to grab and give to the homeless.
That's their excuse for not staying in the shelters and complying with the rules, curfew and no drug use policies. If they were afraid of being around people or being in "embarrassing" situations, I don't they would pick one of the most populated cities with people that walk by on a daily and telling them what a bunch of drug using bums they are.
@@jimmymetal713 these people need to heal from their addiction. Help is what they need but giving them money is not gonna work. Hope they get the help they need.
They've both got hand tattoos so they've both made the decision to mark themselves in a way that makes them very unlikely to get hired for legal work. There are things like Labor Ready and learning to detail cars, hell in fact there are all kinds of odd jobs like painting, learning window painting if you're artistic, all sorts of things but these are the professional underclass and their profession is the easy stuff - dealing drugs, begging, stealing, various con-artist things.
Neither of these people has had a “real job” in decades. You can tell that they’ve abused drugs for a long time. I don’t think that “working” is a realistic goal for them.
@@Scorch1028 I’m sure also they burned their friends and family long ago so drugs got them where they are , they give any and all USA citizens calfresh and cash aide also free healthcare called medi cal the best insurance in USA free and everything covered but limited dental . So basically I doubt they even collect cans just beg all day for drugs chasing their high 24-7 . I had heard maybe like 50 thousand of them here in Cali . Mostly in Los Angeles area . Their restroom is the streets and in Santa Monica beach and Venice beach are polluted . The weather and liberal policies brings them . It’s only getting worse . Hand out heaven .
3:22..... Complaining about this and that. My Lord, get a job and improve your lives. "I had to get away from Pennsylvania, because you know, I had to get away from some things." Let me interpret that for you. "The weather and access to pot is MUCH, MUCH BETTER here."
Yep and couldn’t be in a shelter because her anxiety and agoraphobia. Come on! It’s because they can’t be on drugs in a shelter, they know this. The fact of the matter is that these people want to get high on drugs and do whatever they want!
@@jason-ow8cq that’s why I keep commenting on! They choose to live in the street! They want work,,they can’t pass the drug test! I just hate Mike keeps making these videos, I loved all his others, I getting sick of their manipulation , because they know well how to do that.
Men really have it good. No matter how broken they are...homelss, on drugs, bad teeth, never took care of their own family, etc...some poor naive woman always wants to marry them. WTH She's like, "...we're getting married...". Him: Lookin' the other way...No comment, looks like he's poking around searching for a crack rock. SMH
Dude, theyre in survival mode its the most exhausted state a human being can be in. You cant problem solve or future plan because moment to moment survival is your brains only focus. Food, Shelter, Safety!
You mean responsibilities? When these individuals ain't sleeping in they're out and about panhandling, stealing bicycles, breaking into cars and getting high. There are good homeless and then there's these ones.
We need an FDR style work program for the homeless who are able to work. Could include cleaning trash, cleaning graffiti, repairing roads and sidewalk, installing curb ramps, basic landscape maintenance, etc.
I really think that society was better off when these people were in mental hospitals. Leaving them on the streets leads them only more to drugs, violence and despair.
@@Scorch1028 She's got kids. In a normal society like if she were Hispanic, Asian, Muslim, etc her kids would take care of her even if it's just living in a shed in their backyard or something. But this is white American culture where family means absolutely nothing.
@@alexcarter8807 Letting a heroin addict live in your backyard in a shed is just asking for problems. She needs to be in a group living center based around a drug rehabilitation program. I propose legalizing all drugs and using taxes from sales to responsible users to fund turning all the old malls Amazon has closed into communal living centers for homeless people. Drugs will be provided for free to all addicts willing to live in the communal living centers and participate in counseling and education programs. This way you wean them off the drugs slowly and give them food, housing, medical, and vocational training as they are able. Many will be able to work through their addictions and transition to independent living, eventually.

This woman says she’s “agoraphobic”, but she chose to move to L.A. which has 8,600 people per square mile. 😆🤣😂
And.. She is living outside.. The opposite of agoraphobia
Agoraphobic people do not do well in wide open spaces.. For example outside.. She seems fine sitting outdide
That's their excuse for not staying in the shelters and complying with the rules, curfew and no drug use policies.
If they were afraid of being around people or being in "embarrassing" situations, I don't they would pick one of the most populated cities with people that walk by on a daily and telling them what a bunch of drug using bums they are.
Great video Mike! Hope you're doing ok! Regards,.......Shane

Could hardly hear the couple speaking. I gave it a thumbs up anyway. Great content (in general) Mike. Thanks for posting
“Head to the choppa” : Arnold voice
Put the cookie down
He can do Arnold better than Arnold himself!

Ahh-nold!
Definitely much better to be homeless where it is warm !
Disability payments aren't enough, you just get enough for cigarettes, meth and bad tattoos.
We need to send her back to Pennsylvania...all these bums aren't ours.
yes, should raise them for cocaine and hookers!
Good thing they dont give them more. They would spend that on drugs too and probably overdose.
@@tancymilligan isn't that what you want to get rid of them
@@jimmymetal713 these people need to heal from their addiction. Help is what they need but giving them money is not gonna work. Hope they get the help they need.
When it rains in California it pours.
Migrating homeless people have always been a problem.
Thank you for asking the real questions. I hope people commenting will stop judging and realize everyone has a story.
Excellent interview. I hope they can get their lives together 👍
Thanx for showing this .I feel Bad for theese ppl.Big shout out to german in venice.Keep IT Up
They've both got hand tattoos so they've both made the decision to mark themselves in a way that makes them very unlikely to get hired for legal work. There are things like Labor Ready and learning to detail cars, hell in fact there are all kinds of odd jobs like painting, learning window painting if you're artistic, all sorts of things but these are the professional underclass and their profession is the easy stuff - dealing drugs, begging, stealing, various con-artist things.
The biggest con artists are those running city hall and the banking system.
This is Cali homie, the mailmen have full sleeves out here, tattoos have nothing to do with it.
So instead of looking for the next handout, ask them what their plan is to get off the streets and back working ??
Neither of these people has had a “real job” in decades. You can tell that they’ve abused drugs for a long time. I don’t think that “working” is a realistic goal for them.
@@Scorch1028 I’m sure also they burned their friends and family long ago so drugs got them where they are , they give any and all USA citizens calfresh and cash aide also free healthcare called medi cal the best insurance in USA free and everything covered but limited dental . So basically I doubt they even collect cans just beg all day for drugs chasing their high 24-7 . I had heard maybe like 50 thousand of them here in Cali . Mostly in Los Angeles area . Their restroom is the streets and in Santa Monica beach and Venice beach are polluted . The weather and liberal policies brings them . It’s only getting worse . Hand out heaven .
Don’t criticize- help if you can ! A job , would you hire them ?
@@robertandrews2470 More than 110,000 in CA; 67,000 of that in LA.
Great interview- i watch quite a few channels discussing this subject.t
You are a beautiful human being, touched by the angels and making a difference in the world.
Is that hat you wear have hair built in? Lol
Those are 2 good people they will forever be blessed and they won't be on the streets for long 🙏
You're famous Mikey! I see your videos everywhere and people keep sending them to me.
3:22..... Complaining about this and that. My Lord, get a job and improve your lives. "I had to get away from Pennsylvania, because you know, I had to get away from some things." Let me interpret that for you. "The weather and access to pot is MUCH, MUCH BETTER here."
Yep and couldn’t be in a shelter because her anxiety and agoraphobia. Come on! It’s because they can’t be on drugs in a shelter, they know this. The fact of the matter is that these people want to get high on drugs and do whatever they want!
@@jason-ow8cq that’s why I keep commenting on! They choose to live in the street! They want work,,they can’t pass the drug test! I just hate Mike keeps making these videos, I loved all his others, I getting sick of their manipulation , because they know well how to do that.
Anotha THUMBS UP FOR DA german in VENICE :) Great vid man :)
Gotta love these democratic ran cities!
Im sure you’re in one right now
TRUMP2020
@Big Empty you're gonna see. Thought he was crazy for saying we were getting a vaccine this year?
@@frankihatch Florida is Republican thankfully. We don't shit in our streets
@@alexd8123 much love
Men really have it good. No matter how broken they are...homelss, on drugs, bad teeth, never took care of their own family, etc...some poor naive woman always wants to marry them. WTH She's like, "...we're getting married...". Him: Lookin' the other way...No comment, looks like he's poking around searching for a crack rock. SMH
lol
I was literally thinking the same thing .......
Hey man love ur vids keep it up
Dude, theyre in survival mode its the most exhausted state a human being can be in. You cant problem solve or future plan because moment to moment survival is your brains only focus. Food, Shelter, Safety!
AWWWWNOLD, KEEP THEM COMING. PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THE REALITY OF CAWWLIFORNIA!!
I enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming. :)
Love how these people spend so much effort looking for freebies instead of actually trying to get on their feet. I just don’t get it.
You are cruel to the core.
You mean responsibilities? When these individuals ain't sleeping in they're out and about panhandling, stealing bicycles, breaking into cars and getting high. There are good homeless and then there's these ones.
@Caleb DeCoteau I agree, everyone is not cut out for Silicon Valley.
they're messed up on drugs
Mental problems. Used to be they would be treated in State hospitals, that ended back in the nineties. Many/most literally cannot get on their feet.
Hollywood.... turning out homeless more then stars. My state sucks!
What sucks is your state of mind.
Then leave
Born and raised in CA...it does suck...and I did move
Your affection for all things LA is really interesting!
Weed don't do that
@Gee Santini i think she is a recovering addict. The other guy clearly is high
...great, you are doing great job,...just very 'natural' interviews and about the real life...very good 👍☺🌟🌠⭐✨🌅
Isn't it marvellous? ,: 0
What do they do with their welfare and food stamps?
Drugs.
Crack meth heroin
Get high sell it for half the value
Cigarettes and white claw from what I see in this video. Probably drugs as well. Definitely not a toothbrush.
There drug addicts
We need an FDR style work program for the homeless who are able to work. Could include cleaning trash, cleaning graffiti, repairing roads and sidewalk, installing curb ramps, basic landscape maintenance, etc.
I really think that society was better off when these people were in mental hospitals. Leaving them on the streets leads them only more to drugs, violence and despair.
Don’t worry all the homeless always have cigarettes.
and alcohol.....it's amazing!
and cellphones !
And expensive drugs to boot .
Pan handling for food leaves more money for alcohol.
“Quick trip and then back home” let’s help her go back home.....
This lady said she was “homeless” in the place that she’s originally from. There’s no point in her returning home to a sidewalk in another place.
@@Scorch1028 She's got kids. In a normal society like if she were Hispanic, Asian, Muslim, etc her kids would take care of her even if it's just living in a shed in their backyard or something. But this is white American culture where family means absolutely nothing.
@@alexcarter8807 Letting a heroin addict live in your backyard in a shed is just asking for problems. She needs to be in a group living center based around a drug rehabilitation program. I propose legalizing all drugs and using taxes from sales to responsible users to fund turning all the old malls Amazon has closed into communal living centers for homeless people. Drugs will be provided for free to all addicts willing to live in the communal living centers and participate in counseling and education programs. This way you wean them off the drugs slowly and give them food, housing, medical, and vocational training as they are able. Many will be able to work through their addictions and transition to independent living, eventually.
You tell it like it is Mike. THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. I enjoy watching your vlogs.
I love your films. I lived in Santa Monica,CA for over thirteen years and I've experienced all those places myself. Thanks for posting friend.
Love your channel Arnold!
So it really boils down to bad choices.
YUP! I guess so!
Lack of family and Christ.
Hello mike I love this video
May god watch over them, and bring them many blessings soon.
I pray they gind done kind if hope
You came allllllllllll the way from Santa Monica? You must be tired!😂🤣
Drugs are bad M-kay.
And we tell the world that we are the greatest country..Even German man here left His wonderful Germany to be with us ..
Or was he ever there?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU KEEP FEEDING THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAT ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
That is too bad.
A Boulevard of broken Dreams, and broken people.
Praying for all the homeless people.
Love this Mike, your vids go from good to amazing, I hope you get even more subscribers, you deserve it, i missed your arnie impression by the way lol
