Everything here is great however there is a a different reality like as you can see there are homeless literally everywhere yeah I didn’t realize there was like a rough side to Hawaii I thought I thought there was only beaches in Paradise out here that’s
What I thought too how long you been living out here for uh been about 10 years oh no sorry 15 15 Dam that’s clean that’s clean yaying hey that’s from the East Coast too huh that’s like new VI
Though yeah I can’t hit that oh you dropped that just for the uh you know anybody got problems how many people would you say like call the streets here home in honol right now about four right in front what’s up everybody welcome back to another day here in Hawaii and it’s actually
My last day here but there’s something I wanted to talk to you guys about because honestly well I wasn’t expecting this from Hawaii since since the moment I’ve arrived I’ve realized that there’s something else um that lies here on the island beside it being a beautiful well Island Paradise
That most people come out here to witness and that is that well just like most places in the US there is a huge problem here with the homeless there’s a homeless crisis here in Hawaii and it’s
Quite sad to see I wasn’t expecting this to be a reality of you know an island that is separated from Mainland USA and from the moment I’ve arrived we’ve encountered some pretty some pretty crazy um
Situations with the homeless but I’ll talk to you guys a little bit more about that as we continue on with this little walk but I just want to show you guys a little bit of a different reality that
Exists here in Hawaii because a lot of people don’t shed light on this side of the island however it is very much a problem and I’ve talked to a lot of locals about it as well and everyone
Agrees that things need to change and I just want to show you guys this because well I’m in Honolulu the capital city of aahu and I mean this place is gorgeous the downtown is super beautiful there’s also some extremely important historical landmarks here in the city and of course there’s
So many beautiful beaches surrounding this area we actually just left Alam Moana which is extremely beautiful but right outside of all of this beauty even right in the middle of all this beauty there’s a different reality and I want to show you guys this because well I thought that
You know Los Angeles Seattle Portland that those places were um where all the homeless were found but no it is a problem that exists all around the US now there was actually um as well I’m with Gladis Gladis has been joining me on this whole trip here in Hawaii and it’s been quite
An amazing trip huh yeah very I mean the food food here is amazing the people are amazing everything that we’ve encountered so far is is great how are you everything here is great however there is a a different reality like as you can see there are homeless literally everywhere and I’ve actually
Encountered quite a bit of um quite a bit of homeless individuals throughout the journey and everybody’s super friendly nice um wants to talk to you obviously everybody asks for a dollar but it was just something that we were not expecting to see here in on the island of Honolulu so join
Me as we um walk around and I show you guys just just how crazy um yeah the homeless population is here in the city now obviously there’s so many places on in Honolulu where you’re going to find a more densely populated um homeless areas we’ve actually noticed that in Chinatown um there was
A huge like homeless population also right next to the Royal Palace there was so many that could be found but outside of those areas generally speaking you’ll see people sleeping on most Corners here in Honolulu and it’s quite impressive now Gladis actually comes from a country that is
Well let’s just be honest it’s considered a third world country her country Venezuela is a place that many people would never even travel to never even think about visiting but um she was actually just telling me that well she feels the same way when she comes here right well I always want to
Visit the us but every time I visit and I see this reality I feel like I am in a third world country and you know even in some third world countries you don’t see that there’s a lot of
Povery there’s a lot of people in need as well but you don’t see so many people living at the streets like in us and I wasn’t expecting this at all of Hawaii I mean nobody talk talks about
It right we know in Mal it’s really bad especially around the ski Road area we know in San Francisco Portland Oregon but not here so yeah you just don’t expect to hear it from Honolulu you know it’s a it’s completely well it’s been completely unexpected for us let’s continue walking let’s
Walk across the street but and so many people is scared to travel to third world countries like Thailand and I’ve never seen something like this there yeah so we were actually talking to some people that recognized me off of my videos a few days ago and they were like man is Thailand safe
Like is it is it a place that you recommend we visit we’ve always wanted to go but we’re like nervous we’re scared um how’s the crime and I’m like man dude Thailand is amazing like I get
It it’s considered a third world country but it’s so different than that like it’s not a I actually think Thailand has a lot more modern things than we do in America one of them being the malls like
You’ll never see a mall better than you would better in America than what you see in Bangkok you’ll never see public transportation better than in Thailand yeah like they’re they’re so far ahead when it comes to so many things that I start to think man where’s living in a third world
Country I know this is a very huge problem all around the us but here in Hawaii I was expecting get off from a bus in a bus station and you see a bunch of people living in the street yeah the
Other day um we went out for dinner we actually went into a McDonald’s and we we ordered our food we placed our order and we had no idea well what was going on inside of McDonald’s but as soon as
We get done placing our order we turned around to realize that there was all kinds of homeless people inside of the McDonald’s one of them was even shooting up which was quite crazy and look this guy he’s actually walking um through the mall he was actually just getting chased out
By security and he was acting like a complete fool right now a few minutes ago he’s actually taking the elevator right now which is quite impressive but um dude was you know losing his mind and as I mentioned um well I just wanted to talk to you guys about this because well
It’s something that we don’t hear of when we think about Hawaii we don’t think we don’t we we never hear about these problems that are existing here but I actually did some researching research and I read some articles that was actually talking about um this very problem and it turns out that
A large majority of the homeless population here in Honolulu are actually people that have come here from the mainland and decided to just stay here so over the course of the last um few years since the pandemic the government has actually been trying to relocate the homeless population
Back to their states on the mainland because they are causing quite a bit of problems here on the island especially IND the tourist areas as you’re walking around wakiki you’ll constantly see be seeing not they’re not police officers they’re kind of like security guards constantly telling
Homeless people to get out of the like the main Boulevard yeah in W Kiki area you see a lot of homeless population as well like specifically at the um first part of the beach and it’s not it’s not only here at the downtown it’s there also in Chinatown yeah in Chinatown you’ll see
A lot but you’ll see people just like just like this man you know um drinking items from the trash and of course um we’ve also noticed that a lot of people just set up like um cardboard
Boxes and houses and Tents right along sides of the roads but I mean look at how beautiful this place is guys it’s just sad to see that this is very much becoming a a reality of most of America
All the big cities are slowly falling apart we’re actually just reading articles about San Francisco and how the business district and shopping district a lot of stores are completely shutting down because um well let’s be real the government nowadays just allows absolutely everything to
Happen um there’s no rules they just let people pop up tents in front of companies in front of company doors that pay um millions of dollars a year in taxes and it’s like no one wants their
Business to be Loc located in a downtown anywhere in America these days I mean it’s getting out of hand and I have a feeling that that pattern that trend is going to continue around America and to
Be real honest with you guys I’m a bit worried to see um how our country is going to end up in the next few years yeah it’s very sad it’s very sad that also uh this year happened like
A a robbery in LA in a nrom and it was so crazy and I see people they were interviewing people on the TV for the news and people was like let actually Walk This Way because because that is
Happening in their City yeah and um yesterday while we were here in Honolulu we were walking around um where where were we Victoria’s Secret we were actually in Victoria’s Secret yesterday and um as we’re standing in there a whole bunch of police cars pull up and we’re like what the hell
Just happened here in Honolulu and it turns out that that right before gladus and I walked in the store someone walked in there and just snatched up all the bras and underwears and took off running they ran off with hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise and it was quite crazy yo what’s up
Bro hey man you want you need a you need some money sure where are you from where are you from oh no Mommy good yeah where you from bro oh just are you from Hawaii oh no oh you dropped it where are you
From how long you been in Hawaii for uh probably Portland time oh you’re from Portland yes sir oh man yeah I didn’t realize there was like a rough side to Hawaii I thought I thought there was only
Beaches in Paradise out here that’s what I thought too and then you just now now you just ended up here yeah I’ll have to keep flying you know yeah it’s a struggle everywhere isn’t
It yeah fair enough take care bro but see and guys I don’t know I try to help people out everywhere because there’s people that are hungry and you know I like to um get to know people and talk to
Them obviously dude is out of whack man lost out of his mind and it’s sad to see because that’s somebody’s son that’s somebody’s brother um somebody in this world really loves that man a lot and they probably just don’t even know it and it’s very it’s very heartbreaking I got a
Couple cousins that you know they’re extremely loved but they’re living on the streets right now um in Los Angeles and you know we’ve tried to help many times we’re going to zigzag by back this way let’s see if we can’t find any anybody that can give us like some real conversation it’s
Really heartbreaking and you know um sorry to interrupt you no go ahead and as you can tell this is not a cut cut cut video like we’re not taking little pieces from the from the Honolulu
We’re walking and people are just walking here as well you know so I try to make this as raw and as real as it gets but um you know I don’t all the negative comments neither of people saying oh
I’m showing people at their alltime loan no this is this is what needs to be shown I mean it needs to we need to set some shed some light on this because man the streets are crazy out here and
There’s a lot of people suffering man and you know you got a you got a large a large demo a large how can I say it these homeless people come from all kinds of different demographics you got people that are veterans out here you got people that are just badly hooked on drugs
On alcohol and then you got many too that are let’s be honest and most of them are probably inter like interconnected to this very um topic many people are struggling with mental issues and uh mental health is extremely important and it’s something that needs to be talked about because
The the homeless people that you see walking through these streets they’re not the only ones dealing with mental issues I deal with them glattus deals with them it’s just that everybody in the world deals with them it’s just that we all cope differently and you know a lot of times all
It takes is for you to smoke the wrong thing once tried the wrong thing once and you know you end up lost on the streets and there’s also a lot of people on the streets that just simply cannot pay
Their bills yeah yeah yeah exactly and uh let’s be honest I think that has a big part to do with it here in Hawaii like life is so expensive all around America but here in Hawaii it’s
Quite expensive so I can imagine that it’s very easily I mean it’s very easy to just end up on the streets let’s see if we can help this other guy out yo what’s up bro take care
Man like he’s checking the dollar to make sure it’s real it’s real you don’t think it’s real oh that’s funny that’s funny he was checking my dollar he thought I was trying to stuff him up
No but and I don’t know I just I just have been doing YouTube for a long time so I know what kind of comments you’re I’m going to get in the comment section but uh so many people are just quick to
Judge I’m one of those people that I help people out whenever I can um I try and pay it forward I know that man there’s people hungry I was broke for many years man like I know what the struggle
Is like to uh you know even have a dollar so I try and help out where I can and hope and I like to think that hopefully that money isn’t going towards drugs or alcohol because let’s be
Honest even the people that are out here on drugs the people that are out here abusing alcohol they still got to eat so I’m hoping that that dollar goes towards something right um but yeah guys I
Think I’m going to turn the camera around for now and yeah I’ll log back onone once we make it to another little area of the City just so I can show you something different because there’s so many different realities I felt like when we’re in the city bus as you’re driving like
Every few blocks the city changes of Honolulu yeah it’s crazy and the bus is a great great option for you to see the city and take a look around local neighborhood as well yeah and as
Soon as you leave white Kiki the streets feels more like the rest of USA you know those local neighborhoods and yeah just yeah it takes you away from um you know the tourist side of the island parasite land par Paradise landscape exactly exactly Hawai is that we’re not saying
No Hawai is a paradise but there’s also this part of Hawaii like a bunch of reality The Naked Lady strip club yo that looks cool exotic dancers 2 p.m. to 2: a.m. exotic dancers nightly strip
Show I think that’s a I think that should be a plan for tonight you want to come to the strip club I think your viewers would like you to get in there with the camera yeah we should
Make that happen that’d be actually pretty damn cool huh a strip club in Hawaii we don’t need to wait for tonight yeah that’s true you think you think they have um you think they they do
Strip shows and like hola dance at the same time well it’s Hawaii it’s Hawaii could be huh they go like no but jokes I mean uh Jokes Aside we’ve loved Hawaii so much man it’s such a great place
Um I just wanted to shed some light on this because I hope it changes I really do because I get quite embarrassed when well I’m just going to be real with you I’m getting quite embarrassed walking around seeing all these things because I know that there’s so many tourists from all
Over the world here man there’s people speaking all kinds of different languages in W Kiki and then you’ll just see somebody walking with their ass hanging out um a strap around their arm like they just got done shooting up and man you know that they go back home and they talk about these
Things I know firsthand I’ve traveled around the world and it’s sad when I’m sitting down at a at a hostel table and people are telling me Oh actually it’s happened to me and glad
Several times they’re like oh I went to LA and I thought it was going to be so amazing but it was [ __ ] oh there was just homeless everywhere and I asked them oh what was your favorite part about the United States and they’re like oh nothing it’s a beautiful place but it needs
A lot of work and I can’t agree more with them like it’s sad that that is the impression that people take away from our beautiful country actually you know what I’m not going to cut it off well I did already but um this here is the Honolulu Convention Center guys and it is
Absolutely beautiful now the skyline starts to get pretty dense around here you’ll start to see a lot of high-rise buildings down on this side of Honolulu and down towards wakiki but let me just tell you guys um as you work your way back towards like Chinatown and the
Opposite of alam Moana everything’s a lot more historical smaller buildings it’s actually very beautiful to be honest with you guys I kind of like well I really love wakiki it’s super nice trendy but for me it’s kind of more dedicated towards um well obviously the tourism but also
To shopping and I feel like when you’re outside of w Kiki that’s where you can see like the real Honolulu and see how things are are so much more different than that wow another strip club oh
Man they love their strip clubs in Hawaii Club roxa wow that looks actually quite nice I like that now we’re walking alongside the rivered now I’m not sure exactly what this river is called
Because like I said I’ve only been here for a few days but we’ve actually come out here quite a bit to walk along this little Trail because it’s so beautiful and as you can tell there’s some elderly
Couples with their dog people come out here to run and then well you also find plenty of tents now there’s actually only one right now at the moment here but um what was it 2 days ago we were out
Here and there was actually about 5 or six so um yeah very interesting how people might just move around depending on the day whether it’s cold or hot or yeah who knows but look there’s even
A gentleman out here fishing that’s cool I bet you there’s some good fish that come out of this water but yeah that’s a full-on little house I can imagine there’s some good fishing in Hawaii I definitely want to come out here
And do some serious fishing one day actually we were on a boat yesterday doing some shark diving and I told glattus that I actually would like to come on out here and go on a fishing trip I
Think a fishing trip would be super cool here in Hawaii but look at how beautiful this place is man absolutely gorgeous isn’t it the skyline’s something else I really really like it out here I think this is called alaw Boulevard alaw Boulevard yes alaw boulevarding oh yeah I wonder if he got
Anything out of there alaw Boulevard though I really like this place wow you can see the elevator going up that building up there but yeah um although this is the topic for this video it still doesn’t take away how beautiful Hawaii is like you guys should seriously add
This place on your list and come on out here I’m kind of sad that it’s it’s taking me so long to come out and visit this this beautiful island and there’s so much more to explore there’s actually seven islands that make up Hawaii oh excuse me just had some Chick-fil-A that hit
The spot all right poian sauce with Polynesian sauce we had to do it right all right um catch up with you guys here in a minute we’re going to continue on with our walk all right guys
So I’m back in W Kiki it was actually quite a quite a long walk from Alam Moana it only said 35 minutes on Google Maps but man it took a lot longer than that so I’m just just going to walk
Around and show you guys The Vibes of this area now and I’m sure you’ll see lots of people out here just lingering around because well since the first day we got here I noticed that this Boulevard up here the main street is actually extremely popular for be Beggars and well yeah
People that don’t have jobs so um what’s up guys how you oh bro you played the keyboard yes sir hey that’s sick yeah how many years you been playing keyboard for about uh I’ve been playing

East side it’s uh Kano Kaa kind of where Lanai Beach is oh man everybody told me Lanai is good it’s I mean it’s pretty but it’s like it’s kind of like uh more country version of this with a
Lot more like just people like so it’s like people trying to see the beaches and stuff and why did you choose to come out to Hawaii um it originally started with music uh I was in Tennessee at the
Time and um I was traveling around with a bunch of bands and stuff and somebody stole my car and some crazy stuff happened kind of sent me back and I was down bad I called my I had some

It so is the plan to eventually get back to the mainline or you just n for me uh you know cuz I actually I produce music out here I got on the radio and um for I still have songs on the radio
Out here and I’ve had about like I got like 7.3 on YouTube and I had 2 million on my sound cloud before I got kicked off of the bootleg remixes cuz that’s what I did was I did Regular remixes
Of like popular song covers yeah okay see I should have done covers I should have got a singer to sing them because then legally it doesn’t become this derivative material that is a lot harder to
Like publish without oh so if you do the covers then you you can still monetize and do everything yep because you’re basically just doing you know the compulsory license standard cover but if you change a lyrics it becomes a derivative work with a parody or something and if you do a remix with
The actual vocals from then they still own it and it gets into a fuzzy territory where you can get flagged or they’ll allow it and you just won’t make no money off it oh damn I didn’t know
That I didn’t know that so the yeah BR the music the music no the music scene is it’s intense and you got to really make sure you hit everything the right way camping camping yeah yeah also intense

Man but yeah that’s what I’m trying to tell you guys um there’s good people out here it’s just a it’s just a struggle so that’s what I wanted to shed light on here in this video is that there’s
A lot of people out here struggling even though it’s a paradise and um like I said I didn’t mean any any bad vibes with this video you can look at my channel and I I film these kind of videos
All around the world and of course all around the United States because it’s something that that needs to be talked about and we need to shed some light on it because it’s a sad reality of of
The United States and you know as I me mentioned earlier when I was walking around with glattus before she ran up to the bathroom you have to man these are things that need to be talked about because it’s quite sad when people come from all over the world and um you know that’s
The impression that they leave with that they go back to their own countries um with and then of course they go back home and shed those same uh share those stories and those vibes to everyone else I’ve been in plenty situations sitting down at tables with people from all around the world
World um everywhere and people are telling me all these things about my own country all these things about um the homeless the crime how they didn’t feel comfortable walking the streets and man we need to change this we need to change this we need to come together and help these people out whether
I don’t know I’m not one of those people that really know too much about Solutions or what we can do to fix these problems um but they need to be fixed and this is a reality that’s not existing
Only on the mainland of big cities but also here in Hawaii so um keep that in mind and of course um treat people with love and respect no matter where you are it it’s important to um to bless
People and bless others yeah let’s hook the hum up to I think I got one right here yo here you go bro oh thank you yeah man take care of yourself and um yeah treat some people with some love some respect
We’re all humans and as I mentioned when I was filming my skido video video a few weeks back a lot of us are just simply one paycheck away from ending up on the streets or one bad unfortunate situation away look at what just happened in Maui with the whole fire situation those people
Were living their normal everyday lives and some people lost the the place the the their workplace along with their home along with their vehicle along with their family members and now we’re left with nothing and that could happen to pretty much any any one of us man so um keep that into
Consideration especially when you’re traveling around beautiful places like this because the struggles everywhere I mean look at this gentleman looking for some food as well so yeah guys I think um with with our little conversation with Ronnie I think we’re going to bring this video to an
End because I could walk down this whole strip and I’ve already showed you a couple examples there’s also other areas in the city that are complete tent cities like you just see tents absolutely everywhere however um yeah yeah it doesn’t take away from how beautiful Hawaii is
It’s a beautiful place it’s a paradise um there’s just two different realities and I wanted to share that with you guys so hopefully you enjoyed this video hopefully I was able to um shed some light
On you know a different side of of Honolulu that a lot of other people are scared to talk about however you guys know I like to keep it real with you guys here on the channel I like to um share
