PBD PODCAST
About this episode

Patrick Bet-David sits down with former Skid Row addict Jared Klickstein, who shares his harrowing journey through nearly a decade of homelessness, drug addiction, and crime in California.


Jared reveals how policies like Prop 47 and billions in wasted funds enabled theft rings and deepened the state’s homeless crisis.


He details his time working with cartel-linked drug operations, stealing $1,000 worth of goods daily, and the nonprofit corruption fueling the homeless industrial complex.


Jared’s firsthand account exposes the dark realities behind California's growing addiction epidemic and offers bold solutions to break the cycle of homelessness and crime.
