I grew up in LA, and lived there until 2000 when I joined the Air Force. I retired 2 years ago and went out there for my uncles funeral who served in the Army during WWII. I had been seeing some of the things on the news about homeless encampments, but since I don’t believe what I see on the news I wanted to see if it was true. I took the 101 on the way home and I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was like a third world country. Homeless encampments on the freeway, overpasses, and streets. Capitol records was surrounded by vagrants. There is no glamour left in that once great city. The mayor(s), city councilman, police chief(s), and governor need to be locked up for allowing this to happen.
When it gets colder, you will see big fires near freeways. Like the size of a fire that you see when a car/RV burns down. Homeless people trying to stay warm with open flame fire, and it gets out of control and burns down their encampment and nearby brush. I think I saw about 1 fire every 2 weeks or so win 2022 - 2023 winter. I drive around LA country btw. I wonder how many such fires I will see this winter.
Jack Osborne and his family are part of the problem. The get on tv and social media to back the ideas of the Politicians who created this mess in California. All for a quick buck. What stops Hollywood elitist like the Osbornes from doing the same in another state. You see in Austin, Dallas, and Las Vegas.
It's wild to me that a person can be told to drop Jdams and spray rows of 20mm rounds on poorly identified targets, but that same person can't defend their self with a standard capacity magazine from a standard rifle who's design is older than most people alive today.
Reminder that Jack Osbourne's mother, Sharon Osbourne has donated almost 1 million $ to blm. Donations to these causes are at fault for the not so good state of California. Sillion Valley people and celebraties contributed to the situation in California and now they're upset because they don't let their offsprings play outside of the house.
@@curt5361the fraud part of BLM isn't the worst part, they were burning, beating, robbing and murdering there way across America for 6 years with zero evidence, they would hear white cop shots black man and just start burning and killing, the fraud was the last straw, so that's not an excuse
Mike, I’m a retired LEO from So Cal. I worked in a city just north of LA. During that time the homeless issued exploded with the passing of prop 47. Then magnified with the no bail and COVID. We tried the wrap around solution but quickly found out that the only thing that worked to effect change was strict enforcement. We were just pissing in the wind… It was so frustrating! I’m retired now and moved my family to Florida… Thank you for doing these documentaries.
Gotta say, never expected to have the level of respect I do after watching this for Jack. It's crazy how a contrived reality show can skew how someone is presented to the world. Very impressed with the fact that he is as grounded and has earned all of the common sense he has now in spite of how and where he grew up.
It's almost unbelievable that places like Skid Row even exist in the United States. It's like being in a 3rd world country, right down the street from ten million dollar homes. Absolute insanity.
nothing unbelievable about it because the majority of people here live in a fantasy world and wear rose colored glasses. they are shown a fantasy world by all media and they believe it's true. they have no idea what's it's really like.
i worked in downtown for five years. its crazy. just a few blocks from skid row, like a 5 -10 min walk, is the LA jewelry district... its very common to see Rolls Royce's, Bentleys, Lambo's... the list goes on.
I appreciate how far Jack has come. I'm so glad he's doing this with with you. I seen Jack in Detroit when he was five. I loved seeing the love that Jack and his father have for each other. God bless you man. The Mike I've been following the channel for a few years and you're awesome.
That was a great running gun interview with Jack...L.A., democrat city, democrats state...it's no wonder citizens are fleeing out of this hell hole. Thx Mike...looking fwd to the 2nd part.

Yes, great for Jack. But being born a millionaire probably made the turning around quite a bit easier than it would be for someone born into generational poverty.
Hello from Boston Mike. Our mayor just finally cleaned up a homeless hub in the city. Bostonians complained about the homeless issue, but it really pales in comparison to LA. I remember I was waiting for my flight from LAX back to Boston some years back. I had a FB page at the time. I typed this long ass post about the homelessness that I had just witnessed, a very heartfelt piece. LA’s homeless issue is next level. It baffles me that we live in a country that prints and burns money at such a fast pace, yet the homeless issue throughout the country remains. Granted there’s many factors that play a role such as drugs, mental health and so on, shit still sucks. The root of every societies inability to right its wrongs unfortunately is corruption. Thanks for sharing Mike.
Here in Portland Oregon we have spend Millions and millions and it has barely trickled down to the problem itself. 90% of the money is in the pockets of those "in charge" of solving the problem.
Just last week my mother traveled out to San Francisco to teach courses. Within hours of arriving and parking on a main street to go get some food and do some shopping, her rental car had the windows broken and all of her travel materials stolen including business phone, laptops, schedules, etc. The worst part is when she called the police department to report it, an automated system took her report and she wasn't contacted until 4 days later and basically told nothing will be done. She will never be back to California to teach courses.
@user-dg8vu1pp1z my point is that place is a shit hole. I guess when idiots start getting dropped like hot potatoes for touching other people's shit, maybe then the tide will change.
@@user-dg8vu1pp1zYeah it was like that in SF 20 years ago when I first visited. My uncle told me when I got there to never leave your windows up, cause they will just break them. Never leave anything in your car. You could walk down any street and see all the safety glass in the the gutters.
I think people forget the #1 rule, _never_ leave anything of value out in the open in your car. Stuff that you don't want to get stolen should be hid from view, locked in the trunk, etc. 🤷🏻
I’ll be honest her going to San Fran …. I’ve heard for years about the break in’s… she should have been more prepared. Sorry it’s rough… but I’ve heard it about that city and Portland and places in Colorado. ❤
@@LaurenOliviArt Everyone paying attention knows about these cities. His mom was probably a normal person that watches and trusts the "news". Hopefully she learned her lesson. The "news" is 100% complicit in the destruction of the nation.
This is sad we're in trouble!! Thanks for sharing guys,I'm from Wisconsin I was homeless lived in my van for year & a half Walmart s & loves truck stop I was aloud to park in parking lot,went through divorce & child support takes almost half my income,& now I have a one year old with my new wife ,can hardly make ends meet still! Everything goes up but wages! Be safe guys may God bless you and your family!!

Jack works his ass off ( look up what he does. You will be surprised to know he has a normal job like a normal person) also, he is absolutely NOT responsible for anything his mother or father does/says/endorses. He’s a super person.
I grew up here. I love my job. My family is here. I feel deep rage for what is happening to my home. I just turned 26, I feel like if I do not leave soon then I am wasting my life. I feel strong resentment for those in power, and those that are taking advantage of others hard work. My experience growing up riding my bike along the american river with my friends, unsupervised, is not possible. Kids arnt safe, law abiding citizens arnt safe, unless you have the money to live in a really nice area. Mental illness in rampant, and its not just the homeless. I used to work for one of the rental escooter/ebike companies (the green ones at 31:42 ) . Sometimes I would have to drive all over the greater Sacramento area retrieving scooters and bikes via GPS. I would find piles of bikes with no wheels. they would strip the ~1200 dollar bike for just the 26 inch innertubes. Ive seen large, uncontrollable fires started because they physically damage the batteries ripping them out of the bike/scooter, to charge a phone, once. Once I was attacked by a loose pit-bull and I had to defend myself with a pocket knife. Im lucky that I have experience handling large unruly dogs, otherwise, I would of been messed up much worse than I was. Nobody was arrested because the dog was left unsupervised to guard a homeless camp, that I had unknowingly walked into while I tracked a bike on the map My current job takes me all over northern california, bay area to tahoe, oregon to stockton. Its getting so bad, im heartbroken and infuriated. People EVERYWHERE, trash EVERYWHERE, traffic EVERYWHERE, EVERYTHING is expensive. The Rampant crime, bureaucratic nonsense, corporate greed that is happening here is what is going to happen to the rest of the country if people don't resist. I hate that I hate my home. I wish that I could do something about it. I HATE those in power. Realistically, newsom is just a puppet for the real masterminds.
Lived in NorCal 50 yrs of my 60 and 3 yrs ago had enough and left. Lived in a quiet EastBay city and never saw homeless or crime for the 40yrs. Came to the point where mail on my street was stolen multiple times, we couldn’t leave the garage open even when doing yard work with the wondering tweekers around and if I put my trash out earlier then a couple hrs before the truck came it would be dumped all over and gone through. A beautiful state ruined by years of absolutely insane state politics.
@@JayMoneyMac -Martinez! Such a shame as it’s a really cool place and “was” a great town. Lived there since the early 70’s and thought for sure I’d stay forever.
Most of them only talk about it after they see it's popular to do so. Us "far right insurgent deplorable supremacists" (people with IQs over 90) have been saying California's going downhill for over a decade.
I was born in LA and grew up there until 2013 years when I joined the Army. Even when I left home, things weren’t so bad. I used to be able to walk downtown, Hollywood, Venice and Santa Monica and things weren’t so crazy. I went back few times on leave and every time I went back it got worse and worse. But I realized that living away from the chaos was the main reason I noticed it.
I go to LA once or twice a year for work or concerts or stuff. But each time I come back saying how bad it’s gotten. And each time I have to reiterate to my friends and family, “ no it’s even worse now, it’s not a trope or talking point, it’s gotten rough”
Because of liberalism and soft on crime policies!!! You can't talk about it in a context like it just organically got worse. Things won't change otherwise.
Jack has been based for a while now. He’s always been a solid dude but he really understands the dysfunction of Hollywood from inside and I think he’s disgusted by it.

They drop off and start being “based” because conservatism brings money. Then they turn around and back the politicians again for a quick buck.
@@Anonymousduck161 Do your own research. I can tell you have your own preconceived notions, and anything I put forth, you will dismiss them. I just wanted to let you know that you ignored my entire comment about the regions I described before. You dismissed my statement as a whole. Read my comment again, and start doing your own research. Research the places I mentioned. Research the celebrities that have moved there from LA to those locations. What is their political stance, and which politicians they have given platforms to in the past.
@@choncha23 I didn’t dismiss anything, you put forth an assertion about a specific person and all I asked for was an example. I don’t really have a dog in this fight and if you gave me an example of a politician that jack has specifically backed then I’d have some pause about him. You pulled the old tactic of: “oh shit someone called my bluff so I have to deflect and pivot and then insult while remaining vague.” I have no emotional connection to any of this insanity, I just asked for an example.
Thank you for your Service Mike and for all you do everyday to teach and prepare all of us! Happy for where Jack is in life and that he's hanging out with you! This video was very eye opening and sobering! I cannot imagine having a van with people living in it parked in front of my home 24-7. It's just crazy and sad!
I'm an LA Native and I'm 60... It is out of control. Not safe anywhere in LA after dark. Of course the ridiculous main stream media won't touch this story. Thank you politicians! You guy are such great people.
The people in your area love it and support it and they think it’s amazing. The majority of Californians are death cultists. They wish for this and they wish it on all of us.

Jack is like Princess Diana in the way that he has grown into a man and understands the power if fame and his own fame and can use it to give voices to serious issues and for positive change. I deeply admire him. ❤🙏
The best reason not to steal is not because a politician or a law or a lawmaker says you can or can't, but because the highest law directs us to not deprive others of their property, even if those people are the owners of woke corporations. In fact, it is now almost an act of resistance to maintain morality.
Only a person without a moral background who recognizes a higher power would never consider such a thing. That's the whole point. A Godless society is what Jack is describing.

Being here in the Central Valley of California for 20 years it’s crazy to see how bad it’s gotten. Camps off the freeway is a norm, overtaking our local trails near the river, one park in our city was closed down and turned in to a homeless camp. It’s fucking insane man
No wonder jack is so baffled... He's never been connected to real people. If you dont like people migrating west, go east because it has and always will happen. This is the world we built for ourselves. Get out there and fight the issue, rich boy, not the people.
Every major city in the US are overrun with illegal aliens and homelessness. Until we secure the border 100% nothing is going to change here. Let’s focus on that and rooting out the sleeper cells that are here lying in wait. Stay frosty Mike. Great interview brother
You are correct . Nothing will be right until all these Europeans are deported. The comeback process is slow but it's happening. Dont worry bro. We shall overcome.
it is so dope to see Jack and mike in a video together. talk about worlds colliding. great to see jack grew up into a respectable adult family man where a lot of kids from famous musicians usually turn out to be train wrecks

Born and raised CA. I was homeless in LA lived in my truck. 2018 Had heart surgery. Life happened in 2020 during “zombie virus” and we moved out and never returned. The problem with people in CA, is fear of not having the same “California vibe”. No one wants to leave but they hate it. Dumb. Now I live in south Jersey. And love it.
That was an absolutely brilliant show !!! Jack Osbourne is awesome and is a very good communicator. I love the travel show he does with his dad !!! I hope we can all get this country turned around. I’m sure there are many deceased veterans rolling in their graves wondering what happened to the freedom they fought for ??? Including my own father who was a World War II P38 pilot and POW and just the greatest husband and father to my mother and 4 brothers !!!
I’ve been trying to Flee California for 5 YEARS now. We can’t get a job transfer or approval for full time remote. We both are SoCal natives. We want to leave so badly.
I was born and raised in Southern California. I had a vibrant childhood there, and it's sad to see my home state deteriorate like this. Venice Beach, for instance, used to be a wonderful attraction not just for tourists but for local residents too and now it's covered in homeless tents everywhere and many shops that Venice Beach is known for had to shut down because they couldn't handle the theft problem from the homeless there and law enforcement being unable to do much of anything.
Then find the courage to change your tribal voting. This didn't happen over night. It took years and years of voting in "Socialist" poiciy. Keep voting in people who allow open boarders and defunding law enforcement and this is your world. Good Luck!
I don't feel bad for the slide into the abyss. California (and it's residents" have wanted this trash for at least 40 years. The residents are finally seeing the results of voting. I hope it continues to fail harder and harder. :)
It started when the voters of California voted for prop 47 which was/is insane. We left a year later knowing it was only going to get worse . Every time we return for family events we just are blown away by the decline. So Sad
I lived there for almost 20 years. And about nine years ago moved to the Silicon Valley. San Francisco makes Los Angeles look gentrified in regards to their mismanagement of criminals and the unhoused. My one criticism of this video though. Because I would not disregard any of the observations or opinions given. is that it would’ve been much more compelling and productive. If all of those I'm not sure exactly and hersee comments were fact out before filming. I mean you know these kids are in the business. They understand the basics of scripting. my second criticism would be. Do we really need another video exploiting addiction and poverty and exemplifying the problem.? I believe we need more solution oriented content online. So people know what actions to take to make change.
Its great to see jake ❤ he looks very healthy and happy. Besides the current events and problems were all having in this time. Awesome vid as always and thank you for your hardwork and lengths to informing us.
This is becoming the new norm amongst our country. I live in Tucson, AZ. Within the last few years it has got so bad here. I work in the security industry and see if first hand. If you’re ever in Tucson reach out Mike.
Thank you for everything you do Mike! Been following fieldcraft and yourself since 2019. Great timing I know. I appreciate the knowledge you and your crew drop. Staying prepared. Cheers from communist Canada. 🇨🇦🫡
I really like Jack I'm so happy the podcasts are back, I feel like he's the one that's pushing it all and I really appreciate it great show thank you!!
What was highlighted in the beginning is true. My family is barely getting by, but we don't steal, not only because of my faith, but because we have morals & values to pass down to our two sons.
My parents came to LA from a foreign country so we could have a better life. Growing up here in the 90s was the time of my life. Always used to brag about being near the beach and Hollywood. Now I don’t recognize it. Moved to another city in California but my side of the family refuses to move on. Still they think it’s incredible. My in-laws are the same despite having their house burglarized twice in two months and they live in a “great expensive neighborhood.” Once retirement hits the wife and I are out. The people here are toxic and act as if it is so diverse and everyone is welcome when in reality it isn’t.
Same here. I've lived in the L.A. area my whole life. It was wonderful during the 80's and 90's. I slowly began to see things change in the early 2000's. Illegal immigration and liberal policies have destroyed this State. I don't even feel safe anymore, no matter what city I am in. I live in the San Gabriel area. But I've been seeing a rise in homelessness and retail shopping and car break-ins. This nation is in decline. I don't think there is anything that can save it. People have lost their morals. Especially women. I blame social media, and the stupid women on social media who act like whores.
@@Tizzz250 Ultimately our societal problems are moral problems. Children just aren't being raised properly anymore. It's been like that for decades in poor black communities. But now the lawless mentality has spread to pretty much the whole State. People no longer fear authorities. They have learned what they can get away with. There is no consequences for stealing anymore. People are not stupid. They learn to play the system. In order for society to stay intact, there needs to be an understanding that those who break laws will be punished, and those who are law abiding citizens will be rewarded. But that is not the case anymore. It seems like politicians are purposely rewarding lawless people, while punishing those who just want to be productive and mind their own business.
This was the wildest and coolest crossover. It’s so crazy that you just rode around Hollywood with Jack Osbourne. And the fact that y’all train together. It’s just crazy. I love it.

@@choncha23 yeah Ok. I was just saying I liked the video. I literally didn’t know it was that Jack Osbourne till the end of the video because I didn’t catch the beginning. Obviously, most of the Hollywood elite are lefties .. voting for these lefty policies .All California’s problems are blatantly apparent.
Mike really needs to do on the ground interviews of people in these encampments. Would be super interesting and insightful to see all this from different perspective
Elections don't matter. Newsom will make sure the whole country turns into California. Just go to any college town. I've seen it in Wyoming, Arizona while traveling. Check out casper and flagstaff.
Yeah, but did they voted for this? People think that Democrats STARTED cheating in 2020? LOL! They probably have been cheating for decades! California mails a ballot to EVERY name on their list of registered voters, which we know is very out of date! In fact, Judical Watch filed a lawsuit in L.A. county and was able to get them to clean up (remove) 1.2 million names! 1.2 million names!!!! Wonder how many of those 1.2 million names voted in 2020??? I'm willing to bet most if not all of them did and probably for Democrats too! And that is only L.A. county! Who knows how many millions of dead people (or moved out of state) are still on their list for the entire state?
I voted otherwise and almost everyone I know also voted the same as me. Vote don't matter in CA, democrats got fake ballots and illegal immigrants to back them up. Newscum and piece of shit Gascon recall not going through says it all.
@@MrWorldasmaya well we see the housing market is dead no one wants to join the military cuz no one trusts the government which they shouldn't. The US dollar is losing its power on a global scale. Feminism has ruined women, so there's no incentive for a man start a family. And even though we're getting paid 3× more than what our parents was things cost 12× more. This coming year I'm moving to the Philippines with my wife, so we can be closer to her family. Good luck USA I have a feeling you are going to need it
I've lived in L.A. my entire life. I'm 60 years old. I've lived in South Central, Hollywood, Mid City, Korea Town, Inglewood, Downtown. No disrespect to Jack, great guy. Good insight. This isn't the "real" LA. The real L.A. is much much much worse. He's a Celeb, so it's kind of like saying "I'm gonna show you NY," but you actually only tour the Upper West side. A lot of New Yorkers would say...."You didn't see New York." Melrose? The Valley? Hollywood? He gave you the "celebrity" sanitized tour. And, to Jack's credit, those nicer sections of L.A. that he took you to should serve as a warning to what it's REALLY like where lower class schmucks like me live. Jack's spot on with respect to how things are going, particularly with respect to LAPD. Coming into contact with LAPD (In the Subway System-is very common). I talk to the cops. I know they're Understaffed, under funded, and can "Not" proactively police. Mike Glover, I doubt Jack's seen the subway tunnels, the Bus stations. REAL L.A. Mike, love the channel. Hit me up. I'll show you L.A.! This was a "sanitized" tour compared to how bad it actually is............Ah.......skid row tomorrow? Now we're talking. Getting "warmer." Mike, ask Jack how many violent confrontations he's had to get himself out of since covid? How many weapons he's seen brandished on the Subway system? How many Smash & grab robberies he's seen? How often he's been present when civil unrest-looting and rioting breaks out? How many Escape / evade scenarios? Again, great guy, but an upper cruster. Ask me. I've got "real life" L.A. stories. Ask the guy on the street. Me.
I’m sorry man but I’ve lived in California my entire 27 year life and it’s ALWAYS been like this. I’ve lived in safe NorCal communities, to LA, to San Diego currently. This is NOTHING new and it’s not localized just to LA. We had the same issues in Sacramento that we have here in San Diego.
It's amazing to see someone like Jack Osborn take preparedness steps. And it's truly sad to see how far places like LA, San Francisco, San Diego and other states have tanked and gone south.
Not sad for all of us. For the last 40 years at LEAST Californians (probably like you) have wanted and voted for this. So, it's nice to see everyone there getting what they voted for. It's heartwarming.
@@eriklarson9137 uh, yeah I DON'T live in Commiefornia, let alone anywhere on the West coast. So yeah, you failed on that part. I applaud some folks taking steps to stay vigilant on what's happening, especially where California is concerned, shows at least there's SOME sense, even among folks like Jack Osbourn who at least see it coming. Pretty much the entire West coast has gone downhill, not JUST California.
Jack seems like a cool guy. Especially for someone of such celebrity fame. At least he is thinking and talking about what is happening. That puts him above a lot of other very famous people in my eyes.

@choncha23 I feel your pain brother. I live in Colorado, in Lauren Boberts district. We are conservatives surrounded by liberals. But my point is I don't know many other celebrities off the top of my head that would train with and interview with Mike. Yes, Jack is a spoiled celebrity, but at least he isn't sticking to the celebrity talking points.
I'm sorry, but I just can't take Jack Osborne's concerns seriously. This is the same kid that would wander around his dad's concerts at Ozfest, filming and basically mocking drunks for the same behavior he's now concerned his kids are witnessing on the streets of LA.
The homeless people are moving in to CA due to the weather. Seniors are the fastest growing homeless population.. the problem will not get better. The rich are getting richer. The poor cant afford rent . The rents getting super high . England is having homeless problems too.
Newsom frightens me as much as ANY political figure. He is an extreme idealogue and is destroying CA. I hope he doesn't run for President (or isn't installed as President).
Much love and respect for bringing the truth of what's happening in California and many other cities in America that are literally falling apart. Yet people still think these politicians care about us. They do not
I’m a vet and another vet and I from MI went out to skid row a couple yrs ago to try and save a another vet that was living in skid row and addicted to meth. Eye opener and sad deal for sure. We found out afterwards that there’s a whole area that’s veterans on the west side👀🇺🇸🇺🇸 love what you do!!!
I grew up in Los Angeles / San Fernando Valley. Born in Northridge, went through the Earthquake... lived most places in the Valley. Encino, Tarzana, Mission Hills, Grenada Hills, Reseda, Sylmar... "and the list goes on" 😉 The "billions of dollars" spent on "fixing " the homeless problem ... is money they spend on cleaning up the mess from the homeless. They tell them to take their stuff to leave, bring in people to clean up the area and then the people come right back. They make another mess and they tell them to move, they clean up the area and then they come right back. That is where the money goes. There was also a real estate investor who owned several apartment buildings. There were tenants who had lived there for decades and there was some law in place or so.ething preventing them from being able to raise the rent. There was a court case that reversed that and then the rent was raised to amounts that many of the tenants could not afford with the raising of the taxes as well. What were the consequences of those actions ? ... It put many people, some with 2 jobs ... on the streets. Now, there are some statistics that show that when someone ends up living on the streets, I believe it was a 72 hour period (definitely less than a week) that if you don't get off the streets ... you will get stuck on the streets. Many women and teens will be sexually assaulted and some will end up deciding to sell their bodies. They will become depressed and end up using drugs. Welcome to the streets !!! No, I haven't lived on the streets, I know people who have and I have obviously done some research. I could continue however ...

I grew up in the Columbia gorge outside of Portland and had to leave because it got to bad. It breaks my heart to see what has happened to the west coast cities.
Living in the midwest, it make me happy. The moronic things Californians have wanted for the last 40 years are finally paying off. Now you guys act surprised by it? Maybe vote differently? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"It's like a social experiment gone wrong". Great description. EXCEPT it has gone as planned. Sad situation that is not only happening in LA or CA. Denial of where it stems from will not make it stop, listening to this you can hear it getting worse every day as boundaries are being pushed further.
Exactly. The residents there wanted this for the last 40 years. They finally get what they wanted, now they pretend they didn't want it. Lol. I for one hope the slide continues. People need to wake up, and maybe this will help.
When it is mentioned that it is case law that the belongings of homeless can't be thrown away do you know when that went into effect? I am asking because in Sacramento I have watched garbage trucks go along homeless camps and literally pick up and toss all of their belongings. There are very limited resources for homeless people. I live on the out skirts of Sac and I watch the Sheriff's department harass the homeless daily. From what I know there aren't any shelters for them to go to in my area. I have talked to a very nice young woman who happens to be homeless and I asked her what she could use. She said water because all of the businesses in the area have shut off the water spickets so they don't have access to water to drink.
I left Southern California 16 years ago and moved to Texas. Best decision I ever made for myself and family. It's very unfortunate you see a lot of these California transplants destroying Texas cities like they did California.
I disagree with how you mentioned jack osborne used to ride is bicycle outside as a young boy but now wouldn’t allow his children to be outside doing the same thing , first off all jack Osborne is a millionaire grew up with wealth all his life was surrounded by his famous father , so he never once lived in a low class area he had the recorces to be able to live anywhere he wanted, there’s a huge difference if your poor or come from a actual working class family living in run down gang invested neighborhoods so please don’t make it seem like jack Osborne was one off those children he’s definitely privileged
I'm more shocked that Ozzy's son turned into such a good, normal, actual man and he knows who Mike Glover is..... I'm impressed. He needs to get out of that dump CA and reside in a free state.
Thank you so much for such an honest conversation. I simply adore Jack, have since the 1st episode of the Osbourne's many yrs ago. Wishing you all good health and calmness in you lives.🤗💚
Born and raised in California left October of last year I’m 55 years old. I stuck it out with my wife or as long as I could. She passed away four years ago I could no longer afford to live there on one income. I moved to a red state and have no regrets. California is a lost cause it will only continue to get worse.
Huh... I live in an ambulance, with my own heat, air con, power, and water. I work, just like everyone in a house, or apartment. But, I dont just park on the side of the road, and crap on the sidewalk. There are alot of people living this life, and bothering no one. Its almost like drugs are bad.
The only reason things are "looking" better is cause it's an election season . I'm glad Jack see's through the BS . I grew up in Southern California and I have lived in Arizona for the past 22 years , this is heartbreaking !!!
This smells a little bit like the rich folk driving around, commenting on the poor folk. I'm sure if they had the same opportunities you guys had, they may well be a little less visible to you.
@Ms.Kristiansen No $hit! Sometimes I feel like I'm in an alternate universe which is why your presence is so refreshing lol. So sick of ignorant, bootlicking a holes and the rich ones especially who want to blame the people as opposed to the system when they have the privilege of going and living anywhere on the f'ng planet. Like, leave! Know one asked your European ass to stay in America only to shit on the poor more than the establishment already does. Decent celebrities and or rich people are sadly so hard to come by :(
Mike, I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley and still live here. Growing up as a kid/teen in the Valley in the 70's & 80's was awesome! It was such a great place to live and grow up in. Sadly it's now trash, it's overcrowded, and it's violent! Sure there are still some nice areas in the Valley, but overall it's just bad.
I have a story for y'all........I grew up very close to Jack and his family. He grew up in a 17k square foot home with ANYTHING he wanted at his finger tips.....His daddy is worth OVER 350 MILLION. He NEVER rode his bike...anywhere. He had butlers and nannies to get him whatever he desired..and he STILL does...so PLEASE don't listen to him attempting to inform you on ANYTHING having to do w the homelessness OR the politicians who ALLOWED him and his family to live the lives they all lead.....as he drives around in his 95k car that his mommy paid for....his entire LIFE has been handed to him. Just stop.
I had the same thoughts. There's a severe housing shortage in California. Not everyone can afford a 1500 square foot home for a million dollars or pay $2000 a month for a small one bedroom. Even the worst parts of LA have million dollar listings. All they are talking about are symptoms of the housing shortage. Talking about building a rehab center is a non starter because of the regulations that get in the way of building just about anything. CEQA is a huge root cause. Besides, surveys indicate that about 30% of homeless have a drug or alcohol problem and 25% have a mental health problem. So, the problem won't be fixed by giving everyone drug rehab. Why get clean and sober if there's no place to go anyway?
Seeing Jack as an adult is awesome. What a great dude.
I grew up in LA, and lived there until 2000 when I joined the Air Force. I retired 2 years ago and went out there for my uncles funeral who served in the Army during WWII. I had been seeing some of the things on the news about homeless encampments, but since I don’t believe what I see on the news I wanted to see if it was true. I took the 101 on the way home and I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was like a third world country. Homeless encampments on the freeway, overpasses, and streets. Capitol records was surrounded by vagrants. There is no glamour left in that once great city. The mayor(s), city councilman, police chief(s), and governor need to be locked up for allowing this to happen.
When it gets colder, you will see big fires near freeways. Like the size of a fire that you see when a car/RV burns down. Homeless people trying to stay warm with open flame fire, and it gets out of control and burns down their encampment and nearby brush. I think I saw about 1 fire every 2 weeks or so win 2022 - 2023 winter. I drive around LA country btw.
I wonder how many such fires I will see this winter.
Jack Osborne and his family are part of the problem. The get on tv and social media to back the ideas of the Politicians who created this mess in California. All for a quick buck. What stops Hollywood elitist like the Osbornes from doing the same in another state. You see in Austin, Dallas, and Las Vegas.
It's wild to me that a person can be told to drop Jdams and spray rows of 20mm rounds on poorly identified targets, but that same person can't defend their self with a standard capacity magazine from a standard rifle who's design is older than most people alive today.
I totally agree!
ya man and during the summer if you get stuck in traffic on the 10w 60w interchange you can literally smell them from under the freeway, for miles! 🤮
Ozzy Osbourne definitely raised a good man that cares about the country he lives in
Reminder that Jack Osbourne's mother, Sharon Osbourne has donated almost 1 million $ to blm. Donations to these causes are at fault for the not so good state of California. Sillion Valley people and celebraties contributed to the situation in California and now they're upset because they don't let their offsprings play outside of the house.
@@curt5361the fraud part of BLM isn't the worst part, they were burning, beating, robbing and murdering there way across America for 6 years with zero evidence, they would hear white cop shots black man and just start burning and killing, the fraud was the last straw, so that's not an excuse
Never would have expected Jack to be a common sense guy. Good on ya!
Mike, I’m a retired LEO from So Cal. I worked in a city just north of LA. During that time the homeless issued exploded with the passing of prop 47. Then magnified with the no bail and COVID. We tried the wrap around solution but quickly found out that the only thing that worked to effect change was strict enforcement. We were just pissing in the wind… It was so frustrating!
I’m retired now and moved my family to Florida…
Thank you for doing these documentaries.
To be fair - other states in america do ship their homeless to California. It's no secret
Gotta say, never expected to have the level of respect I do after watching this for Jack. It's crazy how a contrived reality show can skew how someone is presented to the world. Very impressed with the fact that he is as grounded and has earned all of the common sense he has now in spite of how and where he grew up.
I wouldn't want to be judged for the rest of my life for the way I acted as a stupid teenager.
@@populisttrope9385exactly. I still get judged by my mother for how I was in my teens. 30 years ago 🙄😅. I am not that person. Nothing like it.
It's almost unbelievable that places like Skid Row even exist in the United States. It's like being in a 3rd world country, right down the street from ten million dollar homes. Absolute insanity.
A dystopian future isnt so distant!
Major results of giving money to people on drugs and plenty of Narcan
nothing unbelievable about it because the majority of people here live in a fantasy world and wear rose colored glasses.
they are shown a fantasy world by all media and they believe it's true. they have no idea what's it's really like.
Drugs
i worked in downtown for five years. its crazy. just a few blocks from skid row, like a 5 -10 min walk, is the LA jewelry district... its very common to see Rolls Royce's, Bentleys, Lambo's... the list goes on.
I appreciate how far Jack has come. I'm so glad he's doing this with with you.
I seen Jack in Detroit when he was five.
I loved seeing the love that Jack and his father have for each other.
God bless you man.
The Mike I've been following the channel for a few years and you're awesome.
That was a great running gun interview with Jack...L.A., democrat city, democrats state...it's no wonder citizens are fleeing out of this hell hole.
Thx Mike...looking fwd to the 2nd part.
A huge _start_ to California’s problems was decriminalizing marijuana.
@@soonerfrac4611there’s a LOT of policies that destroyed California.. legalizing weed wasn’t one of them
guy seems like a good dude.
Jack and his family are the problem. They back these politicians in California by going on TV and social media. All for a quick buck. What stops them from doing the same? Look at Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Las Vegas, Tucson, and other conservative places. These celebrities move in complaining about California, but a few years ago they were doing ads for the politicians who create this mess. If you live in California, you see these ads and endorsements. Jack is part of the problem. He just has money and fame to move out. Leaving the average Joe and Jane to suffer in California.
👍 So proud of Jack for turning his life around and becoming an excellent person and father. 👏❤️
Yes, great for Jack. But being born a millionaire probably made the turning around quite a bit easier than it would be for someone born into generational poverty.
Hello from Boston Mike. Our mayor just finally cleaned up a homeless hub in the city. Bostonians complained about the homeless issue, but it really pales in comparison to LA. I remember I was waiting for my flight from LAX back to Boston some years back. I had a FB page at the time. I typed this long ass post about the homelessness that I had just witnessed, a very heartfelt piece.
LA’s homeless issue is next level. It baffles me that we live in a country that prints and burns money at such a fast pace, yet the homeless issue throughout the country remains. Granted there’s many factors that play a role such as drugs, mental health and so on, shit still sucks. The root of every societies inability to right its wrongs unfortunately is corruption. Thanks for sharing Mike.
There is too much corruption for someone not to be profiting off of all this negligence and lawlessness.
They’re really paving the way for cartels at this point. Then they’ve got a real problem on their hands.
10% for the 'Big Guys'
nah.. dont need to throw mooore money at it. as he said, lots dont mind being homeless@JR-gp2zk
If you have a government contract to get rid of homelessness and you get rid of it. You have worked yourself out of a job.
Here in Portland Oregon we have spend Millions and millions and it has barely trickled down to the problem itself. 90% of the money is in the pockets of those "in charge" of solving the problem.
Just last week my mother traveled out to San Francisco to teach courses. Within hours of arriving and parking on a main street to go get some food and do some shopping, her rental car had the windows broken and all of her travel materials stolen including business phone, laptops, schedules, etc. The worst part is when she called the police department to report it, an automated system took her report and she wasn't contacted until 4 days later and basically told nothing will be done. She will never be back to California to teach courses.
@user-dg8vu1pp1z my point is that place is a shit hole. I guess when idiots start getting dropped like hot potatoes for touching other people's shit, maybe then the tide will change.
@@user-dg8vu1pp1zYeah it was like that in SF 20 years ago when I first visited. My uncle told me when I got there to never leave your windows up, cause they will just break them. Never leave anything in your car. You could walk down any street and see all the safety glass in the the gutters.
I think people forget the #1 rule, _never_ leave anything of value out in the open in your car. Stuff that you don't want to get stolen should be hid from view, locked in the trunk, etc. 🤷🏻
I’ll be honest her going to San Fran …. I’ve heard for years about the break in’s… she should have been more prepared. Sorry it’s rough… but I’ve heard it about that city and Portland and places in Colorado. ❤
@@LaurenOliviArt Everyone paying attention knows about these cities. His mom was probably a normal person that watches and trusts the "news". Hopefully she learned her lesson. The "news" is 100% complicit in the destruction of the nation.
This is sad we're in trouble!! Thanks for sharing guys,I'm from Wisconsin I was homeless lived in my van for year & a half Walmart s & loves truck stop I was aloud to park in parking lot,went through divorce & child support takes almost half my income,& now I have a one year old with my new wife ,can hardly make ends meet still! Everything goes up but wages! Be safe guys may God bless you and your family!!
Jack is really nice and an inspiring person, I really enjoy watching his shows, he's a great humanitarian.
Holy cow, I didnt even recognize Jack. Good for him, really turned his life around and became his own person.

Jack works his ass off ( look up what he does. You will be surprised to know he has a normal job like a normal person) also, he is absolutely NOT responsible for anything his mother or father does/says/endorses. He’s a super person.
22:39 "This is the way that I go to get to my parent's house" and it takes me a second to remember he's talking about Ozzy Osbourne. 😂 🤘
I grew up here. I love my job. My family is here. I feel deep rage for what is happening to my home. I just turned 26, I feel like if I do not leave soon then I am wasting my life. I feel strong resentment for those in power, and those that are taking advantage of others hard work. My experience growing up riding my bike along the american river with my friends, unsupervised, is not possible. Kids arnt safe, law abiding citizens arnt safe, unless you have the money to live in a really nice area. Mental illness in rampant, and its not just the homeless.
I used to work for one of the rental escooter/ebike companies (the green ones at 31:42 ) . Sometimes I would have to drive all over the greater Sacramento area retrieving scooters and bikes via GPS. I would find piles of bikes with no wheels. they would strip the ~1200 dollar bike for just the 26 inch innertubes. Ive seen large, uncontrollable fires started because they physically damage the batteries ripping them out of the bike/scooter, to charge a phone, once. Once I was attacked by a loose pit-bull and I had to defend myself with a pocket knife. Im lucky that I have experience handling large unruly dogs, otherwise, I would of been messed up much worse than I was. Nobody was arrested because the dog was left unsupervised to guard a homeless camp, that I had unknowingly walked into while I tracked a bike on the map
My current job takes me all over northern california, bay area to tahoe, oregon to stockton. Its getting so bad, im heartbroken and infuriated. People EVERYWHERE, trash EVERYWHERE, traffic EVERYWHERE, EVERYTHING is expensive. The Rampant crime, bureaucratic nonsense, corporate greed that is happening here is what is going to happen to the rest of the country if people don't resist. I hate that I hate my home. I wish that I could do something about it. I HATE those in power. Realistically, newsom is just a puppet for the real masterminds.
Maybe time to replace your Democrat politician. They've been in office for decades
Lived in NorCal 50 yrs of my 60 and 3 yrs ago had enough and left. Lived in a quiet EastBay city and never saw homeless or crime for the 40yrs. Came to the point where mail on my street was stolen multiple times, we couldn’t leave the garage open even when doing yard work with the wondering tweekers around and if I put my trash out earlier then a couple hrs before the truck came it would be dumped all over and gone through. A beautiful state ruined by years of absolutely insane state politics.
California is a few years ahead of the whole left coast. San Diego to Seattle. Liberalism is a mental disorder, society is decaying.
I hope you left liberalism and your democrat voting habits in Norcal.
People have to stop voting Democrat!
Sounds like Pittsburg or Martinez
@@JayMoneyMac -Martinez! Such a shame as it’s a really cool place and “was” a great town. Lived there since the early 70’s and thought for sure I’d stay forever.
I've been seeing alot of famous ppl starting to speak out lately. Great to see. Great job mike your a patriot
Most of them only talk about it after they see it's popular to do so. Us "far right insurgent deplorable supremacists" (people with IQs over 90) have been saying California's going downhill for over a decade.
I was born in LA and grew up there until 2013 years when I joined the Army. Even when I left home, things weren’t so bad. I used to be able to walk downtown, Hollywood, Venice and Santa Monica and things weren’t so crazy. I went back few times on leave and every time I went back it got worse and worse. But I realized that living away from the chaos was the main reason I noticed it.
Thanks Jack for such a great report on Los Angeles. Also thank you for Staying in Los Angeles we need more Truth Speakers and Patriots. God bless 🙏
I go to LA once or twice a year for work or concerts or stuff. But each time I come back saying how bad it’s gotten. And each time I have to reiterate to my friends and family, “ no it’s even worse now, it’s not a trope or talking point, it’s gotten rough”
Because of liberalism and soft on crime policies!!! You can't talk about it in a context like it just organically got worse. Things won't change otherwise.
Jack is awesome! I’m stoked to see the two of you together. Super cool!
Jack has been based for a while now. He’s always been a solid dude but he really understands the dysfunction of Hollywood from inside and I think he’s disgusted by it.
I did not know this until watching this video. I thought the whole family were crazy leftists.

They drop off and start being “based” because conservatism brings money. Then they turn around and back the politicians again for a quick buck.
@@choncha23 can you give an example specific to jack?
@@Anonymousduck161 Do your own research. I can tell you have your own preconceived notions, and anything I put forth, you will dismiss them. I just wanted to let you know that you ignored my entire comment about the regions I described before. You dismissed my statement as a whole. Read my comment again, and start doing your own research. Research the places I mentioned. Research the celebrities that have moved there from LA to those locations. What is their political stance, and which politicians they have given platforms to in the past.
@@choncha23 I didn’t dismiss anything, you put forth an assertion about a specific person and all I asked for was an example. I don’t really have a dog in this fight and if you gave me an example of a politician that jack has specifically backed then I’d have some pause about him. You pulled the old tactic of: “oh shit someone called my bluff so I have to deflect and pivot and then insult while remaining vague.” I have no emotional connection to any of this insanity, I just asked for an example.
Thank you for your Service Mike and for all you do everyday to teach and prepare all of us!
Happy for where Jack is in life and that he's hanging out with you! This video was very eye opening and sobering!
I cannot imagine having a van with people living in it parked in front of my home 24-7. It's just crazy and sad!
Jack is shocked that his friends want to steal but then contemplates giving someone $100 for stolen property. Everyone has their line.
Appreciate all you have done and still do Mike. Thank you Patriot!
I'm an LA Native and I'm 60... It is out of control. Not safe anywhere in LA after dark. Of course the ridiculous main stream media won't touch this story. Thank you politicians! You guy are such great people.
The people in your area love it and support it and they think it’s amazing. The majority of Californians are death cultists. They wish for this and they wish it on all of us.

Jack is like Princess Diana in the way that he has grown into a man and understands the power if fame and his own fame and can use it to give voices to serious issues and for positive change. I deeply admire him. ❤🙏
The best reason not to steal is not because a politician or a law or a lawmaker says you can or can't, but because the highest law directs us to not deprive others of their property, even if those people are the owners of woke corporations. In fact, it is now almost an act of resistance to maintain morality.
Amen to that..
Lol, our Govt steals everyday! And they always have
👏
Only a person without a moral background who recognizes a higher power would never consider such a thing. That's the whole point. A Godless society is what Jack is describing.

@@Johnny641 Exactly.
Being here in the Central Valley of California for 20 years it’s crazy to see how bad it’s gotten. Camps off the freeway is a norm, overtaking our local trails near the river, one park in our city was closed down and turned in to a homeless camp. It’s fucking insane man
So glad that you are sharing the truth because so many in this country are in denial
No wonder jack is so baffled... He's never been connected to real people. If you dont like people migrating west, go east because it has and always will happen. This is the world we built for ourselves. Get out there and fight the issue, rich boy, not the people.
Every major city in the US are overrun with illegal aliens and homelessness. Until we secure the border 100% nothing is going to change here. Let’s focus on that and rooting out the sleeper cells that are here lying in wait. Stay frosty Mike. Great interview brother
You are correct . Nothing will be right until all these Europeans are deported. The comeback process is slow but it's happening. Dont worry bro. We shall overcome.
too late with the border.. next step is massive deportation and the country dont have the guts for it
We need to secure the borders, but that is ENTIRELY separate from our homeless issue. We need to reopen psychiatric hospitals everywhere.
We have millions to deport. Everyone that came here since the 1965 Hart Seller Act.
a lot of people might not know but Jack has multiple sclerosis. Im glad to see that he is doing well, looks healthy.
Mike, thank you for what you do. Thank you for showing the upfront truth into situations around the world! It’s how we can help start making a change!
People are also becoming homeless because of high rents and mortgage payments and probably 80% of people are one paycheque away to become homeless.
it is so dope to see Jack and mike in a video together. talk about worlds colliding. great to see jack grew up into a respectable adult family man where a lot of kids from famous musicians usually turn out to be train wrecks
I thought the same thing. I'm so proud of him.
Honestly I never would have guessed that Jack Osbourne trained that's awesome also his dad make some killer music as well

Had heart surgery. Life happened in 2020 during “zombie virus” and we moved out and never returned.
The problem with people in CA, is fear of not having the same “California vibe”.
No one wants to leave but they hate it. Dumb.
Now I live in south Jersey. And love it.
That was an absolutely brilliant show !!! Jack Osbourne is awesome and is a very good communicator. I love the travel show he does with his dad !!! I hope we can all get this country turned around. I’m sure there are many deceased veterans rolling in their graves wondering what happened to the freedom they fought for ??? Including my own father who was a World War II P38 pilot and POW and just the greatest husband and father to my mother and 4 brothers !!!
Every US citizen needs to see and understand that this is happening, whether they support it or not. Because it could easily spread to every city

I was born and raised in Southern California. I had a vibrant childhood there, and it's sad to see my home state deteriorate like this. Venice Beach, for instance, used to be a wonderful attraction not just for tourists but for local residents too and now it's covered in homeless tents everywhere and many shops that Venice Beach is known for had to shut down because they couldn't handle the theft problem from the homeless there and law enforcement being unable to do much of anything.
Then find the courage to change your tribal voting. This didn't happen over night. It took years and years of voting in "Socialist" poiciy. Keep voting in people who allow open boarders and defunding law enforcement and this is your world. Good Luck!
We are halfway there when the keyboard warriors are indignant. Now to explain how voting works and how they all might not be equal.
I went to Venice for my 25th birthday this Friday and felt so unsafe just bar hopping lol
I don't feel bad for the slide into the abyss. California (and it's residents" have wanted this trash for at least 40 years. The residents are finally seeing the results of voting. I hope it continues to fail harder and harder. :)
It started when the voters of California voted for prop 47 which was/is insane. We left a year later knowing it was only going to get worse . Every time we return for family events we just are blown away by the decline. So Sad
I lived there for almost 20 years. And about nine years ago moved to the Silicon Valley. San Francisco makes Los Angeles look gentrified in regards to their mismanagement of criminals and the unhoused. My one criticism of this video though. Because I would not disregard any of the observations or opinions given. is that it would’ve been much more compelling and productive. If all of those I'm not sure exactly and hersee comments were fact out before filming. I mean you know these kids are in the business. They understand the basics of scripting. my second criticism would be. Do we really need another video exploiting addiction and poverty and exemplifying the problem.? I believe we need more solution oriented content online. So people know what actions to take to make change.
Great video and glad I found your channel...thanks for sharing.

This is becoming the new norm amongst our country. I live in Tucson, AZ. Within the last few years it has got so bad here. I work in the security industry and see if first hand. If you’re ever in Tucson reach out Mike.
Thank you for everything you do Mike! Been following fieldcraft and yourself since 2019. Great timing I know. I appreciate the knowledge you and your crew drop. Staying prepared. Cheers from communist Canada. 🇨🇦🫡
I really like Jack I'm so happy the podcasts are back, I feel like he's the one that's pushing it all and I really appreciate it great show thank you!!
What was highlighted in the beginning is true. My family is barely getting by, but we don't steal, not only because of my faith, but because we have morals & values to pass down to our two sons.
My parents came to LA from a foreign country so we could have a better life. Growing up here in the 90s was the time of my life. Always used to brag about being near the beach and Hollywood. Now I don’t recognize it. Moved to another city in California but my side of the family refuses to move on. Still they think it’s incredible. My in-laws are the same despite having their house burglarized twice in two months and they live in a “great expensive neighborhood.” Once retirement hits the wife and I are out. The people here are toxic and act as if it is so diverse and everyone is welcome when in reality it isn’t.
Same here. I've lived in the L.A. area my whole life. It was wonderful during the 80's and 90's. I slowly began to see things change in the early 2000's. Illegal immigration and liberal policies have destroyed this State. I don't even feel safe anymore, no matter what city I am in. I live in the San Gabriel area. But I've been seeing a rise in homelessness and retail shopping and car break-ins. This nation is in decline. I don't think there is anything that can save it. People have lost their morals. Especially women. I blame social media, and the stupid women on social media who act like whores.
@@nerychristian this too
@@Tizzz250 Ultimately our societal problems are moral problems. Children just aren't being raised properly anymore. It's been like that for decades in poor black communities. But now the lawless mentality has spread to pretty much the whole State. People no longer fear authorities. They have learned what they can get away with. There is no consequences for stealing anymore. People are not stupid. They learn to play the system. In order for society to stay intact, there needs to be an understanding that those who break laws will be punished, and those who are law abiding citizens will be rewarded. But that is not the case anymore. It seems like politicians are purposely rewarding lawless people, while punishing those who just want to be productive and mind their own business.
As someone with with an immigrant parent who lived in Sacramento CA for a time, they had very little good things to say about California in general.
This was the wildest and coolest crossover. It’s so crazy that you just rode around Hollywood with Jack Osbourne. And the fact that y’all train together. It’s just crazy. I love it.
Jack and his family are the problem. They back these politicians in California by going on TV and social media. All for a quick buck. What stops them from doing the same? Look at Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Las Vegas, Tucson, and other conservative places. These celebrities move in complaining about California, but a few years ago they were doing ads for the politicians who create this mess. If you live in California, you see these ads and endorsements. Jack is part of the problem. He just has money and fame to move out. Leaving the average Joe and Jane to suffer in California.
@@choncha23 yeah Ok. I was just saying I liked the video. I literally didn’t know it was that Jack Osbourne till the end of the video because I didn’t catch the beginning. Obviously, most of the Hollywood elite are lefties .. voting for these lefty policies .All California’s problems are blatantly apparent.
@@choncha23Your the problem!
They don't want to violate their constitutional rights by search and seizure. But they wont think twice about violating your 2nd amendment rights.
If you have assets Law Enforcement will get .The criminals will get you. No side effects no due course
Keep bringing forward the truth Mike. We're listening.
Mike really needs to do on the ground interviews of people in these encampments. Would be super interesting and insightful to see all this from different perspective
Excellent video. Thanks for this Mike!!! Looking forward for part 2!!
BRING BACK INSANE ASYLUMS
preach it brother
CA Judicial system is absolutely disgusting. The citizens of CA voted for this they earned this.
Elections don't matter. Newsom will make sure the whole country turns into California. Just go to any college town. I've seen it in Wyoming, Arizona while traveling. Check out casper and flagstaff.
Liberal insanity at its finest. Godless, lawless Hell on earth is what's coming
Yeah, but did they voted for this? People think that Democrats STARTED cheating in 2020? LOL! They probably have been cheating for decades! California mails a ballot to EVERY name on their list of registered voters, which we know is very out of date! In fact, Judical Watch filed a lawsuit in L.A. county and was able to get them to clean up (remove) 1.2 million names! 1.2 million names!!!! Wonder how many of those 1.2 million names voted in 2020??? I'm willing to bet most if not all of them did and probably for Democrats too! And that is only L.A. county! Who knows how many millions of dead people (or moved out of state) are still on their list for the entire state?
I voted otherwise and almost everyone I know also voted the same as me. Vote don't matter in CA, democrats got fake ballots and illegal immigrants to back them up.
Newscum and piece of shit Gascon recall not going through says it all.
Then they move away to different states because it's so bad in CA.. just to ruin the new state they are in.
California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts. The great landfills of the USA
Have you ever been to back country tennessee or Alabama? Ever spent time in a coal or a steel town that has died? The problem is systemic.
@@MrWorldasmaya well we see the housing market is dead no one wants to join the military cuz no one trusts the government which they shouldn't. The US dollar is losing its power on a global scale. Feminism has ruined women, so there's no incentive for a man start a family. And even though we're getting paid 3× more than what our parents was things cost 12× more. This coming year I'm moving to the Philippines with my wife, so we can be closer to her family. Good luck USA I have a feeling you are going to need it
I've lived in L.A. my entire life. I'm 60 years old. I've lived in South Central, Hollywood, Mid City, Korea Town, Inglewood, Downtown. No disrespect to Jack, great guy. Good insight. This isn't the "real" LA. The real L.A. is much much much worse. He's a Celeb, so it's kind of like saying "I'm gonna show you NY," but you actually only tour the Upper West side. A lot of New Yorkers would say...."You didn't see New York." Melrose? The Valley? Hollywood? He gave you the "celebrity" sanitized tour. And, to Jack's credit, those nicer sections of L.A. that he took you to should serve as a warning to what it's REALLY like where lower class schmucks like me live. Jack's spot on with respect to how things are going, particularly with respect to LAPD. Coming into contact with LAPD (In the Subway System-is very common). I talk to the cops. I know they're Understaffed, under funded, and can "Not" proactively police. Mike Glover, I doubt Jack's seen the subway tunnels, the Bus stations. REAL L.A. Mike, love the channel. Hit me up. I'll show you L.A.! This was a "sanitized" tour compared to how bad it actually is............Ah.......skid row tomorrow? Now we're talking. Getting "warmer." Mike, ask Jack how many violent confrontations he's had to get himself out of since covid? How many weapons he's seen brandished on the Subway system? How many Smash & grab robberies he's seen? How often he's been present when civil unrest-looting and rioting breaks out? How many Escape / evade scenarios? Again, great guy, but an upper cruster. Ask me. I've got "real life" L.A. stories. Ask the guy on the street. Me.
I’m sorry man but I’ve lived in California my entire 27 year life and it’s ALWAYS been like this. I’ve lived in safe NorCal communities, to LA, to San Diego currently. This is NOTHING new and it’s not localized just to LA. We had the same issues in Sacramento that we have here in San Diego.
How is the homeless population increasing the same thing?
Nothing to worry about when your rollin with 3 Roof Top Koreans in LA
It's amazing to see someone like Jack Osborn take preparedness steps.
And it's truly sad to see how far places like LA, San Francisco, San Diego and other states have tanked and gone south.
Not sad for all of us. For the last 40 years at LEAST Californians (probably like you) have wanted and voted for this. So, it's nice to see everyone there getting what they voted for. It's heartwarming.
@@eriklarson9137 uh, yeah I DON'T live in Commiefornia, let alone anywhere on the West coast. So yeah, you failed on that part.
I applaud some folks taking steps to stay vigilant on what's happening, especially where California is concerned, shows at least there's SOME sense, even among folks like Jack Osbourn who at least see it coming.
Pretty much the entire West coast has gone downhill, not JUST California.
Jack seems like a cool guy. Especially for someone of such celebrity fame. At least he is thinking and talking about what is happening. That puts him above a lot of other very famous people in my eyes.
Jack and his family are the problem. They back these politicians in California by going on TV and social media. All for a quick buck. What stops them from doing the same? Look at Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Las Vegas, Tucson, and other conservative places.

@choncha23 I feel your pain brother. I live in Colorado, in Lauren Boberts district. We are conservatives surrounded by liberals. But my point is I don't know many other celebrities off the top of my head that would train with and interview with Mike. Yes, Jack is a spoiled celebrity, but at least he isn't sticking to the celebrity talking points.
I'm sorry, but I just can't take Jack Osborne's concerns seriously.
This is the same kid that would wander around his dad's concerts at Ozfest, filming and basically mocking drunks for the same behavior he's now concerned his kids are witnessing on the streets of LA.
The homeless people are moving in to CA due to the weather. Seniors are the fastest growing homeless population.. the problem will not get better. The rich are getting richer. The poor cant afford rent . The rents getting super high . England is having homeless problems too.
Newsom frightens me as much as ANY political figure. He is an extreme idealogue and is destroying CA. I hope he doesn't run for President (or isn't installed as President).
Prepare as tho he will be elected. It’s definitely up there for worst case scenarios.
There is no way he could legit win. Most of CA can't stand him and the rest of the US dislikes CA, so the only way would be an install.
Thank you Mike for your service and continued service. It would be easy to be silent and just purchase a rural small town property and be quiet
Much love and respect for bringing the truth of what's happening in California and many other cities in America that are literally falling apart. Yet people still think these politicians care about us. They do not
I’m a vet and another vet and I from MI went out to skid row a couple yrs ago to try and save a another vet that was living in skid row and addicted to meth. Eye opener and sad deal for sure. We found out afterwards that there’s a whole area that’s veterans on the west side👀🇺🇸🇺🇸 love what you do!!!
Yeah near Westwood/UCLA, they put them in tiny homes now.
Happy Veterans Day
Thank you🇺🇸🇺🇸
The cost of housing is astronomical. What exactly are poor people with substance abuse issues supposed to do?
I grew up in Los Angeles / San Fernando Valley. Born in Northridge, went through the Earthquake... lived most places in the Valley. Encino, Tarzana, Mission Hills, Grenada Hills, Reseda, Sylmar... "and the list goes on" 😉
The "billions of dollars" spent on "fixing " the homeless problem ... is money they spend on cleaning up the mess from the homeless. They tell them to take their stuff to leave, bring in people to clean up the area and then the people come right back. They make another mess and they tell them to move, they clean up the area and then they come right back. That is where the money goes.
There was also a real estate investor who owned several apartment buildings. There were tenants who had lived there for decades and there was some law in place or so.ething preventing them from being able to raise the rent. There was a court case that reversed that and then the rent was raised to amounts that many of the tenants could not afford with the raising of the taxes as well.
What were the consequences of those actions ? ... It put many people, some with 2 jobs ... on the streets.
Now, there are some statistics that show that when someone ends up living on the streets, I believe it was a 72 hour period (definitely less than a week) that if you don't get off the streets ... you will get stuck on the streets.
Many women and teens will be sexually assaulted and some will end up deciding to sell their bodies. They will become depressed and end up using drugs.
Welcome to the streets !!!
No, I haven't lived on the streets, I know people who have and I have obviously done some research.
I could continue however ... They have been banning me from commenting when I share certain information.
If you would like to know more ... you can contact me and /or do the research yourself !
This is insane.. all I can think right now is what the hell is wrong with our country right now…
This is all by design. They need the US to fall in order to bring in their Agenda 2030.
LA has huge abandoned malls too. Antelope Valley is what Jack talking about is empty space but it’s nature and wildlife.
Good shit! Solid content
I grew up in the Columbia gorge outside of Portland and had to leave because it got to bad. It breaks my heart to see what has happened to the west coast cities.
I grew up in cascade locks went home to visit could not believe the tent cities WOW
Living in the midwest, it make me happy. The moronic things Californians have wanted for the last 40 years are finally paying off. Now you guys act surprised by it? Maybe vote differently? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great reporting mike
"It's like a social experiment gone wrong". Great description. EXCEPT it has gone as planned.
Sad situation that is not only happening in LA or CA. Denial of where it stems from will not make it stop, listening to this you can hear it getting worse every day as boundaries are being pushed further.
Exactly. The residents there wanted this for the last 40 years. They finally get what they wanted, now they pretend they didn't want it. Lol. I for one hope the slide continues. People need to wake up, and maybe this will help.
When it is mentioned that it is case law that the belongings of homeless can't be thrown away do you know when that went into effect? I am asking because in Sacramento I have watched garbage trucks go along homeless camps and literally pick up and toss all of their belongings. There are very limited resources for homeless people. I live on the out skirts of Sac and I watch the Sheriff's department harass the homeless daily. From what I know there aren't any shelters for them to go to in my area. I have talked to a very nice young woman who happens to be homeless and I asked her what she could use. She said water because all of the businesses in the area have shut off the water spickets so they don't have access to water to drink.
Bro your voice and others keeps us informed of what’s really going on
I still don't understand how real estate values can be that high in a place like that?
You have to come here to realize the size. These guys didnt even cover a 1/50 of it.
I left Southern California 16 years ago and moved to Texas. Best decision I ever made for myself and family. It's very unfortunate you see a lot of these California transplants destroying Texas cities like they did California.
Amen. I'm a born and raised Texan.
There's is man's law, and then there is God's Law. Thou shall not steal means exactly that.
Why should we pay for stuff now ! It’s so f**k I’m so angry! In retired ! I Worked hard my whole life ! I’m paying for all this lawlessness!
I disagree with how you mentioned jack osborne used to ride is bicycle outside as a young boy but now wouldn’t allow his children to be outside doing the same thing , first off all jack Osborne is a millionaire grew up with wealth all his life was surrounded by his famous father , so he never once lived in a low class area he had the recorces to be able to live anywhere he wanted, there’s a huge difference if your poor or come from a actual working class family living in run down gang invested neighborhoods so please don’t make it seem like jack Osborne was one off those children he’s definitely privileged
I'm more shocked that Ozzy's son turned into such a good, normal, actual man and he knows who Mike Glover is..... I'm impressed. He needs to get out of that dump CA and reside in a free state.
Thank you so much for such an honest conversation. I simply adore Jack, have since the 1st episode of the Osbourne's many yrs ago. Wishing you all good health and calmness in you lives.🤗💚
Born and raised in California left October of last year I’m 55 years old. I stuck it out with my wife or as long as I could. She passed away four years ago I could no longer afford to live there on one income. I moved to a red state and have no regrets. California is a lost cause it will only continue to get worse.
Huh...
I live in an ambulance, with my own heat, air con, power, and water.
I work, just like everyone in a house, or apartment.
But, I dont just park on the side of the road, and crap on the sidewalk.
There are alot of people living this life, and bothering no one.
Its almost like drugs are bad.
The only reason things are "looking" better is cause it's an election season . I'm glad Jack see's through the BS . I grew up in Southern California and I have lived in Arizona for the past 22 years , this is heartbreaking !!!
This smells a little bit like the rich folk driving around, commenting on the poor folk. I'm sure if they had the same opportunities you guys had, they may well be a little less visible to you.
It’s kinda amazing how a reality tv star turned out to be so down to earth and relatable.
Idk how down to earth it is to demonize the homeless, bud.
@Ms.Kristiansen No $hit! Sometimes I feel like I'm in an alternate universe which is why your presence is so refreshing lol. So sick of ignorant, bootlicking a holes and the rich ones especially who want to blame the people as opposed to the system when they have the privilege of going and living anywhere on the f'ng planet. Like, leave! Know one asked your European ass to stay in America only to shit on the poor more than the establishment already does. Decent celebrities and or rich people are sadly so hard to come by :(
@@cassondralynch6342 well we are talking about someone that was basically saying the only reason he doesn't steal is because it's was illegal.
@@HerculesEinstein Lol true! Him and his rich b ass homies. Nightmare blunt rotation lol.
Mike, I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley and still live here. Growing up as a kid/teen in the Valley in the 70's & 80's was awesome! It was such a great place to live and grow up in.
Sadly it's now trash, it's overcrowded, and it's violent!
Sure there are still some nice areas in the Valley, but overall it's just bad.
Excellent 👌. So interesting to come from someone who's lived in the area most of his life.
I have a story for y'all........I grew up very close to Jack and his family. He grew up in a 17k square foot home with ANYTHING he wanted at his finger tips.....His daddy is worth OVER 350 MILLION. He NEVER rode his bike...anywhere. He had butlers and nannies to get him whatever he desired..and he STILL does...so PLEASE don't listen to him attempting to inform you on ANYTHING having to do w the homelessness OR the politicians who ALLOWED him and his family to live the lives they all lead.....as he drives around in his 95k car that his mommy paid for....his entire LIFE has been handed to him. Just stop.
I had the same thoughts. There's a severe housing shortage in California. Not everyone can afford a 1500 square foot home for a million dollars or pay $2000 a month for a small one bedroom. Even the worst parts of LA have million dollar listings. All they are talking about are symptoms of the housing shortage. Talking about building a rehab center is a non starter because of the regulations that get in the way of building just about anything. CEQA is a huge root cause. Besides, surveys indicate that about 30% of homeless have a drug or alcohol problem and 25% have a mental health problem. So, the problem won't be fixed by giving everyone drug rehab. Why get clean and sober if there's no place to go anyway?
Without a moral compass, all are lost.
God is the way, the truth….
Dont need religion to know right form wrong..
@@erismana2105yeah, so right and wrong is simply your opinion….I can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this line of thinking 😂😂
