Washington DC. Home to the President of the United States, who is arguably the most powerful person in the world. It's also home to one of the most dangerous cities in America.
Or at least that's what I heard growing up. Nowadays the property prices have gone through the roof and the demographics keep changing. And yet the drive-by shootings and violence continue, all in the shadow of the politics that shape the world.
What's the real story with DC? As always, there was only one way to find out.

no timestamp you handle it like a Champion.
It hid the bell notification.. of course... also not shown on tv when it usually does when you send in... hm
Its not about overshadowing the monuments that they have a height restriction. It's about airforce response times.
if you're in DC still check out the 9:30 club
Your English is impressive.
He seems really at ease with the locals too!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 what`s that supposed to mean? he`s a native English speaker
@@normanzjames wooooosh
@@normanzjames He speaks Mandarin.
Basic mandarin, with poor pronunciation
This man has been to so many countries he's just starts randomly speaking with strangers in their language lol.
Yeah I didn't know sabbatical could speak AMERICANS!
even in spanish is the same thing
@@Shayanraj_15 He was speaking Amharic with the Ethiopians several times even if it’s small sentences impressive
👍
@@Shayanraj_15 It would be interesting to see how he would do in Boston...
I started watching Sabbatical when he was vlogging in Asia and I was living in the hood in the US. Now I'm vlogging in Asia and he's in the hood in the US. I'm grateful because I can see how I don't want to go back
For real? That’s so cool and blessed be careful enjoy the beautiful of the world!
@@LovingDeantheGodMachine333 Thank you :) Pray for Sabbatical in the trenches 🤣
So I want to ask,is it safer there there.
Are the po lice out of control like in the US.
Is there racism,
Do you feel free
How are the prices there
@@howlinwulf I wrote a long-ass comment here; apologies for the length but I answered each question of yours -
In my experience the policing experience varies wildly in different Asian countries; in the Philippines there are police and security guards everywhere with huge guns, but they are public servants and helpful. In Taiwan there is almost no visible police presence on the streets; just security cameras. In mainland China there are a ridiculous amount of security cameras, plus police, plus "BaoAn" which are security guards. In Malaysia there are some police/guards at malls and places of high traffic, they can be a little strict at times.
As for racism, to me Philippines have a very homogenous culture that is very kind to foreigners both white and black (or whatever color). Filipinos sometimes describe themselves as being second-hand citizens in their own country because they are so service-minded towards visitors. I don’t know about racism between speakers of the (many) Philippines languages. It seems quite chill, and even the Catholics and Muslims get along very well.
In Taiwan there is a good international culture that is quite understanding of foreigners and diversity in many places; however Taiwanese people are extremely introverted overall so it might come off as cold when it’s not really.
Mainland Chinese are often very skeptical of outsiders (waiguoren) and though there are very kind people, there are tons of strange looks especially if you venture beyond the biggest (Tier 1+) cities. I have never heard of more overt and disgusting racist comments concerning Blacks than I have in China. They are 92% Han Chinese there; there’s little motivation for China to increase tolerance or understanding of outsiders within its boundaries. In my opinion the United States could never be as racist as China even if it tried its hardest (like it is now). The Chinese government also funds racial division within American borders. There is a kind of Han supremacy that seems to exist with the expansion of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics that is going to try to (and have a great shot at) taking over the whole world.
Malaysia is an extremely diverse culture, and there can be a “joking” or “teasing” kind of racism between the Chinese, Indians, and Bumiputera (native Malay) who live there, but there’s a lot of peace. Political tensions likely exist below the surface with their very conservative politicians favoring the Bumiputera and stricter practice of Islam.
China is so highly surveilled that it might drop levels of theft, but I think it increases the levels of paranoia. And elements of their cashless society don’t feel free at all.
I feel very free in Southeast Asia. Andrew Henderson from Nomad Capitalist calls this a sense of “soft freedom” and I like that term.
Prices in all the aforementioned countries seem to be cheaper than the US across the board. In Southeast Asia, a normal meal can be less than $2 USD (if not like 40 cents, in some cases). Most expensive thing is the plane ticket across the world.
@@howlinwulffree is everywhere. Oppression only comes from control capitalism. In Ecuador I can do and say as I please. Also the police in USA is one of kind bullies. In Ecuador they will shake you down but they will never lay their hands on you if you’re cool. Just give them $10 and everyone goes their way. In Ecuador you can get breakfast and a juice for $3
It’s safe. Many Americans attest to that. Not gonna lie USA is unique but it’s far from being a desirable place to live.

@@oghidden That remark is true. But, as someone that has been living in this country for almost 20 years, I can tell you that US today is not the same country I came to. It's been almost non-stop decline.
"Guys i'm too old for this shit" lmaooo I feel you dude

Thank you for being non political and simply showing the reality of things
Especially when politics is what got us to this point in the first place. The political sensitivity is blinding.
What the creator deems worthy for the video and what he doesn't, where he goes and what he does, these things influence what you will see.
This video generally presents a seedy and hellish view of america. If he was to stroll trough the wealthy neighborhoods of Beverly hills, the 'reality' presented would be different. This is the reason documentaries can be political as well, without having to bend facts, the narrative they present is shaped by what is shown and ommited. Just something to think about.
Not surprised that its car dependent and it's an ugly city just like the rest of the country
@@pavcho2211 you're extrapolating too much intent from his filming choices. Pretty much the whole point of his channel is that he doesn't devote attention to the typical shiny tourist attractions. He likes seeing the gritty and less glamorous parts of every country he visits
@@pavcho2211ok, Sartre.
Lived in DC, Baltimore, and Philly. Finally fled those hellholes for KY. I now live in a Hallmark movie. DC used to be awesome. I loved it. Now it’s stressful and scary.
It was nice before the riots of the 60s
DC still awesome. It always been stressful & scary with a bunch of crime.
When was DC ever safe??? The 1920s
dc was way worse back then
Tell me about it. it's disheartening the way the city changed with the gentrification and the new generation. During my teens in the mid 80's up to 2003, I had the best of times. It just didn't get any better in my opinion. It was just so much different.The only time I rolled was during the holidays other than that I just felt comfortable everywhere. Not the same now. I told a good friend of mine to buy a home in 98 for about 160000. It's now going for about a million one, if he decides to sell, Lo...PG and the fireworks. Although the city has changed, I still love the DMV area, It's just so much to do within the three states with a rail system that takes you throughout those 3 states. Good vid Sab.
dude goes to a Chinese place and gets fries and chicken wings. nothing more black than that. LOOOOL
Funny thing really is how a Chinese restaurant adapted to a Black area. In White areas the residents adapt to the ethnic food restaurants. You dont see a Chinese restaurant in the burbs cranking out cheeseburger's for the residents lol. But In Black areas the restaurants accommodate the residents tastes. Black folks dont care nothin about your kinda food, not trynta expand the palette. You open any restaurant here and it's gonna be our food and thats it. The only flexibility is with the sauce LOL.
Mambo sauce is blacker than all of that. If you want extra though. It going to cost you 50 cents

Been allover the world and i've never felt as unsafe as i did in a few cities in the States. Hell on Earth
Totally!! even felt safer in South Africa than in the States where no one is going to help you and no one looks out for others.
I lived in a small town in Arizona decades ago and the general way things were done was, when you went into "town" you didn't need to wear a gun but you sure as hell did around your own house! Real "The Hills Have Eyes" country.

10 years from now, this video will be categorized as Pre-Collapse.
You have to be a special kind of idiot to believe that the US is impending collapse. This fearmongering has been going on for decades yet it's not congruent with reality. The US has a large and versatile private sector that ensures that the US's economy remains the world's largest and most productive. Inflation and unemployment is finally recovering after COVID and decreasing, crime is decreasing, the disposable income, life expectancy, etc, continues to rise. A few political scandals or certain economically depressed regions that exist in every western country won't alter this.
This whole "muh obviously prosperous developed country I'm pessimistic about because of political reasons is doomed and bound to collapse" mantra is laughable.
yup
10 years from now this city will be inhabitable due to the ridiculous housing prices.
Violence and anarchy are growing like cancer.
@@flatfish72 🤣😂🤣I’m sure the “Happy Days” crowd said the same thing about the James Dean generation. Inner city life has always been urban… that’s why you have the burbs for the suburbanites.
Visited DC, and i don't understand how a place with THE FBI, DEA, HSI, ERO, US Secret Service, Marshals, and much more agency HQ's still can't keep crime down there? What the h#ll?
Because they don't want to stop crime. If they wanted to, it would be done.
@@John_Kennedy_311 pretty much. They have the funding and capabilities, The people on capital hill dont care , because 1. theyre politicians 2. They dont live in the city.
You should know from the traffic visiting there. Anyone that works in DC is a commuter from VA. Especially from Virginia and outside the beltway. People at the pentagon as well.
It's by design
this is what you get when the left is in power
Mayor Bowser has been a disaster for DC.
DEMOCRATS RUIN
Damn Peter came to to D.C. and got the gentrification tour. Not even a week later, Tommy Sabbatical off the Cambodia said “hold my beer, lemme show you how its done”
lol i got here from Peter's vid. that dude let him all types of wrong. he didn't know shit about our city
That vid was trash. He got a transplant version of DC
@@JhonnyBoi Unfortunately the city only car es about transplants. Sabbatical could easily apply for a grant in the city with his international exposure. He would be able to live here comfortably at a one time payment because the city could use him more effectively to reach an intl audience vs Anwar could die in DC general hospital trying to convince people he would do the right thing with a grant to support his content making.
Takeovers are the dumbest shit
Gotta keep that Fast & Furious spirit up, the movies have gone to shite
Nah tht shit is more LGBTQ than pride festivals😂@choonblaze
It's a 3rd place made out of necessity.
It's an encapsulation of where our culture is. Driving in circles and dodging being hit by a car is somehow cool to a generation suffering from 20+ years of IQ drop. The brain drain is real. Artificial intelligence is inevitable, as is universal basic income. The freedom fighters will live in the sewers. Demolition Man had it all figured out.
Have to agree. I live in SFV of LA. Shit kills people all the time. But I do love me some Sabbatical!

Most dangerous for sure.
I thought the time he went to the middle east near the war zone "you know where", it was dangerous but this is more scary. The fact it is scary because of the un-discipline nature.

Nobody says, "let's gentrify this area". They say "real estate values in this area are in the toilet, let's buy some land here, put up some condos and cash in"
Exactly! Urban properties is where it's at. It's going to cause a great divide between the rich and poor.
I've seen rundown hotels take in migrants and were paid 3 times the amount for one night stay for each room from the state (tax payers) then as soon as that cash cow was drained they started remodeling to make apartment homes and now will charge 2k on up for a 1 bedroom in the hood!
@@LatishaBlaynethe poor are to busy killing each other!! But they do rob the rich too
This US video series might get Sabbatical to 1M subscribers. He's just gotta survive a Presidential election year in the US.
Seeing Sabbatical in a ski mask is crazy 😂
I can’t wait to watch this. I live in Maryland, I’m used to seeing you in places so far away from me. I know this will be an odd experience, seeing you in places I’m not too far away from.
I'm in Northern VA and with you on that!
Southern Maryland here. This is so surreal 😂
He was in nyc a few months ago and was right on my block. At that time of day I was probably at home or running around the area and could have easily seen him. Keep missing this guy, he was in Nairobi when I was there too back in 21. Again in Zanzibar in 2020 and I still missed him on that small island. I even ran into Miss Josey in Uganda (Entebbe) and still no Sabatical lol.

Here in Memphis, you cannot safely walk in 3/4 of the city.

DC has nice areas, too!
@@behyuligma6212 There are already a few shooting incidents this year on the Beale and nearby streets.

As a poor Southern kid that grew up in Georgia I always Dreamed of going to Washington DC it was something I only seen in movies and it was so amazing to me. I Ended up in DC about 28 years later for Work traveling the world protecting the ground water as a driller . Washington DC turned out to be my worst nightmare it's very hostile over populated crime ridden , you spend 95% of your time sitting in traffic or having your work equipment Stollen . Really really sad Horrible place to go for work . I can't even imagine living there . I feel bad for those people .
If I had a dollar every time that dude says: You know what i'm say'n?

Of all the places you've been and things you've seen, I've never seen a guy tuck his sweater into a pair of skinny jeans 🤯
When you’re not from an area and walking around in the hood, you gotta let people know that you aren’t carrying a weapon. I was thinking that is the reason he did that.
@@LiquidSnek That sort of makes sense. It's hard to know the difference between fashion and practicality these days
@@LiquidSnek🤣😂🤣Nahhh… overall DC is just a nerdy & relatively small metropolitan area surrounded by many educated and expensive counties.
How can a condo cost $3k a month in a city with so much crime, violence, drugs etc! I wouldn't live there if it was $500 a month
Government jobs are a separate economy.. They are living in dream land
Can't wait to see more about Josiah's app Tell. I was just thinking about something like this today to strengthen ties to our roots/history. I love this idea!
Love that you went to experience the drift life in DC for a moment! Nice to document for us to see without having to go! Gives us the feel for the atmosphere. Documenting home turf! :)
Watching this on a flight to DCA 😂
Hope you’re taking notes
Haha I grew up in the DMV I’m good!
I lived in District Heights, MD.
Up the road from the Addison road station.
Worst experience of my life living in the DMV. My apartment got broken into and
my old black neighbor told me well you are the white guy around here. They hated me.
Lol yeah I’m brown and I wouldn’t live in PG county let alone District Heights
District Heights, anywhere along Addison rd is the hood.
When I commented that I think people watch your travel vlogs because you go to dangerous places that normal travelers wouldn't dare, I didn't think you would DARE to go to D.C. wow... that was brave... 😅
I lived in the YMCA for about three weeks around July 4, 1972 while researching in the Library of Congress about Vietnam for the PhD dissertation I ultimately failed to complete. I walked all around the city at night--but only the western end--and never saw or experienced anything that frightened me. Many years later in the summer of 1990, I returned with my wife and two children, and upon leaving our rented car nearby the Smithsonian, we came back to find the window smashed in and some small stuff stolen.
This is no different than any other hood in the states, chinese food, dodge chargers, challengers. And my hood is the most dangerous almost like bragging and proud
Yeah exactly...Why are these guys so proud of their hood being so terrible?
Exactly… DC is the nicest “hood” city in America💯
Minorities mindset
You need to ride in rush hour around the beltway for a true DC experience.
On those days where I just feel like staying at home and drinking by myself, a Sabbatical episode is definitely a go to!
As a DC person, this city is just expensive for no damn reason😢
One of the most interesting videos I’ve watched in a long time. Thank you for the hard work and content ☝️
Yeah, saw a dude on PCP punching a marble wall once in DC. The sound was like he didn't have any bones left.
I watched a naked dude at the Addison Rd Metro bus loop pulling newly planted tree saplings out of the ground and waving them around like clubs. Fucking wild shit.
Sounds like Hunter😂
The realest thing I came across on youtube so far, Keep the good work up brother!
My cousin taught school in Prince George's county. The stories he would tell!. But I love visiting the museums, the monuments.
Always fascinating to see how you find interesting stuff from every country you visit, great vids. You should try Finland too!
I lived there on A Street NE before moving out to Fairfax County VA. That was in the 1980's and DC was just starting to rapidly gentrify. The prices of the old town Houses on Capital Hill were rising almost by the month as the population started to grow wildly and the farms of northern VA were being gobbled up by home developers ranging from ludicrously expensive town houses to 5 and 6,000 Square Foot "McMansions" on 1/4 acre lots close enough to property lines that you could pass a roll of toilet paper to your neighbor through the opposing bathroom windows and it took 90 minutes or more to commute 4 miles on roads that had been formed by rolling hoghead barrels of tobacco to the shipping sites at Alexandria. Good video as always Tommy. Thanks for posting it.
I have been hooked on your journalism your Vlogs for quite a while now. I am more impressed with each episode. I am marvel at your linguistic abilities, and your ability to interview a wide variety of people, some in their own language. This morning, I watch the real DC. I've never even been to the fake DC. I couldn't understand half of the ghetto talk and you were perfectly at ease communicating with the people who are the real DC. Kudos to you, I don't know how you got to be as smart as you are. You make the most sense of anybody I have seen doing on the scene reports please don't ever stop.
Definitely appreciate hearing your perspective on things. Thanks for the interesting tour.
I’m 63 and when I was growing up I’d see big photos of my parents senior trips and they were class pictures of them on the lawn of the White House I just found that interesting bc I haven’t heard of schools doing that anymore
there was that one school trip with the kid with a maga hat who got attacked by media for smirking. He is a millionaire now.
@@pluto8404extracting wealth from right wingers is easy. If I had no sense of decency I'd already be doing it. Preachers and people like Don the con have been doing it for ages.
My favorite is that marijuana is legal in DC but still federally illegal in every state.
sounds very open to a capital. and ironic.lol
Your vid are so real man.. keep it up

You've taken me to a lot of places in the world, Tommy. It's sad that this one seemed one of the more dangerous. Stay safe!
You probably have been physically closer to Fano than any of the supporters at that rally. Such a crazy fact that you were in Lalibela right after there was a battle there
I'm a OTR Truck driver, the rule of thumb when delivering to DC is get in get out, I feel safer in NYC.

So where do you live now?
America surpasses poorer countries in numerous ways:
1. **Economic Strength**: A highly developed and diverse economy with a high GDP per capita.
2. **Technological Innovation**: Leading in tech advancements and home to major tech companies.
3. **Education**: World-renowned universities and research institutions.
4. **Healthcare**: Advanced medical facilities and research.
5. **Infrastructure**: Superior transportation, utilities, and communication networks.
6. **Personal Freedoms**: Strong protection of civil liberties and democratic governance.
7. **Quality of Life**: Higher standards of living, access to quality goods and services, and social mobility opportunities.
8. **Cultural Diversity**: A melting pot of cultures contributing to a rich and varied societal experience.

This is very inspiring to learn a foreign language. I can understand the emotions in these conversations because it’s English, but I realize all his videos capture that. You can meet a completely different kind of people by learning a different language, and that’s very interesting.
This is one of your best videos. I think you have honed your craft down to a fine edge by now. Good on ya
Despite the hardships Tommy encounters in many of his other videos, in other country’s, people seem to have a more positive outlook. In DC and it could just be me, it’s depressing.
It's been awhile, great content
i think the whole idea of the car rally is to see how close you can get to the cars without getting hit or runover ! sounds like fun for sure !
Once again proof that movies are not anymore fiction but real life documentaries. Very nice video, bravo
The US is such a dystopia, man
$4.89 for a gallon of gas! That’s incredibly expensive. And $2000 for an apartment. No wonder everyone is broke and angry!

Awesome video! Love your style. You've inspired me to also make travel vids! Thanks, buddy!
I have to drive through this place for work once a week. Nightmare traffic. I moved an hour away to avoid this place as best I could.
Seeing the state of DC really makes you want to see martial law.
You showed a great side of DC. I love Jerry's and everything Georgia Ave has to offer. Glad I get to call it home!
I am in Philly, Baltimore, DC and other places along the east coast on a regular basis. I was in DC and when we talked about DC problems they pointed out that Bmore and Philly also has those problems. But my point was that I actually expect more out of DC being that it is the capital city and has access to huge amounts of federal funds.
But the truth is you really don't get much more.
Crazy to see you film my old neighborhood. I saw my old building in the background. I have more good memories than bad.
After this video I have only one question, where I can try good mambo sauce? This guy is HYPED!
I grew up there in the 80's, glad to see it is maintaining its charm.
16:40 Tommy OMG!....you found Huggy Bear from Starky and Hutch!😂😂😂
Great video man! More of these please
"Protesting everything"... 😂😂 Perfect !
I left in 2013. I'll just say...in daylight hours, it's safe. Evening? I'd draw a red circle around 50-percent of DC and tell you to avoid it. Its funny, you cross the river into Arlington, it's a whole other world, without the dangers.
Omg! I could tell you you were having Hella fun at the sideshow😂😂 I haven't been to one of those things in probably 15 years...
"You know what I'm sayin'?" B-) ;-) ahaha
Definitely a clickbait title.
If you’re from NYC, LA or Chicago, DC is an easygoing attractive town with many educated/rich people of all ethnicities and nationalities. These tour guides were purposely making it seem worse than it is in reality.
It was Chocolate City and unbelievably fun back in the 70’s-90’s, now it’s more like a bland Chocolate Chip Cookie in comparison.
this growing peasant pride mentality is quite annoying. Everyone is so obsessed with their hood being the most dangerous.
He’s showing a different side/story of DC many tourists don’t know about, there’s many nice areas in the video as well
This video was so much fun. Love seeing Tommy running from the cops haha I also appreciated the lesson on mumbo sauce.
