#2483 - Spencer Pratt

32:44And this is one of the things that I've seen progressive podcasters talk about the wealth tax. And they were talking about imposing a wealth tax on billionaires. And they're like, stop being greedy, pay your fair share. Like, what is your fair share? And where is it going? Like, if you could show me that an increase in taxes would fix all the problems, I said this when I lived there, I wouldn't mind paying more taxes if they fixed everything. But it doesn't seem like it fixes anything. Not one thing gets fixed. And they keep asking for more money, which is crazy. The solution is cut it all off.

33:19One of the things that Texas has no state taxes. There's no state taxes. You don't pay state taxes in Texas. In California, you pay 14%. So they're incentivized to take that money and do with it whatever they want. And so the more they can come up with, like building tiny homes or whatever the fuck it is, it's just incentives for them to siphon money. And again, as mayor, I want to have full accountability and transparency where that's what everybody that's paying. There's a lot of good people that are fine with paying as much tax as they want if you're helping people get off the street, if the lights work, if the streets work.

34:01If there's less crime, if it's safe, if it's nice, if it's clean. So we need to track every single dollar and make sure that there's no waste and abuse. And with that type of live dashboard, not track it with these weird data. I'm talking anyone can understand this money goes here. And we're talking real accounting. They don't want to do this because everyone's eating. Everyone's getting a cut. All these people are living off of the scam. So you need to come in and really just say no more of this. So let's talk real world practical application. So you get into office. Now you have all these council members that these Democratic Socialist people.

34:40How do you handle that? What do you do? How do you keep them from blocking all these things you're trying to do? So that is what excites me, because there's never been a mayor that comes in and literally goes to each of their constituents of these districts. For instance, this DSA member wants to keep giving the fentanyl needles and the pipes. Then I go to that district. I have a press conference. I bring everybody. I say this so and so wants to keep these zombies going number two and having sex in front of your kids and put the heat on the city council members. Right now, they care about their jobs.

35:17They get$238 ,000 a year salary. They get not even including their entourage. Then they get our grants and our tax money for all their little scams they're running. So they actually want those jobs. If a mayor comes in and is like, oh, I'm going to put the heat on each one of you. Because right now, the mayor, Karen Bass, isn't calling out each district and their failures. The constituents, the taxpayers need somebody to come in and expose each of these districts and go into their communities and be like, this is what you're voting for. So at least at the next election, they're out. So then once they start feeling the pressure of somebody on their neck, they're going to start like, oh, I don't want I want to keep my job.

36:00I like this power. But there's been a concerted effort to put those people in the government. Right. And, you know, a lot of people point to George Soros and he's one of them. and his Open Society Foundation is one of the people that likes to do that, particularly for very progressive prosecutors and DAs. But there's more than just him. There's a whole machine behind it. And this is what I don't understand. Because if you wanted to destroy a city, if you wanted to destroy society, you would do it exactly the way they're doing it. So what is their incentive and why are they doing it this way? Well, they want to destroy it to then rebuild it in their vision.

36:35And the second my town burned down and it's all dirt, who's coming in with the ideas? Oh, we got$100 million for affordable housing. We're going to do this. They have a plan. They have a vision that's not going to work. But they have their utopia that they would love to then rebuild. How do you say it's not going to work? What's going to stop them from doing that? Because socialism has failed everywhere. It's certainly going to fail. But what's to stop them from ruining the Palisades? Well, I did. I stopped them. They can say that SB 79 or whatever their housing thing was never going to apply to Palisades.

37:11But after me attacking it all day for weeks, they added like 13 notes and made the Palisades a fire hazard area where you couldn't build high density. Because what they do, there's a new state law that just got passed. And if you're, again, these aren't exact. All the Yimby's are going to go nuts. I'm saying it wrong. What's a Yimby? your something about your backyard now my who knows i don't you know there i have to block them usually on social media but i they have a vision that everything in california and los angeles should be high density how then we need to build these seven nine-story structures to have more affordable housing so they want to get rid of single family homes and put seven-story buildings on.

37:59So the NIMBYs, not in my backyard, they fight these people on X. So, you know, to be honest, I'm not either of them. They try to, I'm fine with more housing, but I also want people to have single family homes. And I think the fact that we lost the idea where we can't fight for the California dream to have a front yard with grass and it's gotten so expensive and impossible, that should be the problem. Not that, oh, we've given up. Nobody should ever get that. We need to build these seven-story prison-like structures and give anyone who can't afford just a box to live in. Let's fight to get to California where people had a front yard and grass.

38:39Well, it's also insane to try to do that with the Palisades, because the Palisades has always been a wealthy neighborhood where people with a lot of money spent a lot of money and also paid a lot of money in taxes and had these beautiful homes. And the idea that you're going to take that over with low income housing, well, those people are going to move out of there and there goes the tax money from those people. Not only that, those people lost their homes. Their homes were taken from them by the fire. And that's not fair. It's not fair at all that you would just do that. It doesn't make any sense.

39:11I like to use the word stolen. The houses were stolen from all these people. A misconception, though, because I'm from the Palisades and I grew up, the Palisades just became this wealthier, famous people in the last, let's say, 10 years. But growing up - That's it? Really? Yeah. 10 years? We're talking big,$40 million type big houses. I thought it was always like that. I thought it was always nice. It was nice, but lawyers and doctors, not Silicon Valley and movies. You know, hardworking people pass these houses down generations. So they were nice houses. But, you know, your great grandfather probably passed the house down.

39:56And, you know, my dad's a dentist. He came in. He was a surfing dentist and was able to get a house in the Palisades. And it's a beautiful area. Yeah, it's gorgeous area. Amazing weather. And people should know that an area bigger than the size of Manhattan burnt to the ground. So let's go back. Let's do the fire. Because that's a great, we haven't even, you know, we just touched on it, but nobody's really talked about what happened, how this fire started, you know, why we're on the fire. So people would think about the Palisades fire and they go, oh, January 7th. Well, what happened? The fire for January 7th actually started on New Year's Eve.

40:32So there's a case right now. It's kind of fallen through the cracks. It may not go forward. There's arson cases. Supposedly, allegedly, this guy lit a fire at New Year's Eve with a lighter or cigarette. and there was eight acre fire. Now, according to witness testimonies, about 30 people that saw fireworks go into this site called Lockman, Skull Rock. So at New Year's Eve, eight acre fire starts, LAFD responds, but the issue, what people don't understand, when they respond, they can't come up there with heavy dozers. So a dozer, like a bulldozer, has a rake type thing on the front and they clear around the fire and they make a fire break, even when the fire is going.

41:15Ideally, you'd want the fire break before, which because of California state parks and plant over people policies, we don't have fire breaks. So dead fuels, dead brush has been growing around lots of communities for 50, 60 years. So right now, the Palisades burned down, but what's next is Brentwood, Hollywood Hills, Sunland, Tujunga, what else, Bel Air. All these are going, they're i'm sorry people you live here they're all going to burn down if we don't come in here make fire breaks up 300 feet because when i met with chief bobby garcia and i asked him about fire breaks the purpose of the fire break is to give firefighters a chance to dig in and when they drop the retardant if there's not a 300 foot break then then all the retardant just falls through the different levels of the foliage and it doesn't make a moat so if you have a break it It creates a moat type situation.

42:10And now the firefighters have a chance to get up there and respond. So back to January 1st, they couldn't bring their dozers up. We now have text messages because, again, I'm one of the lead plaintiffs suing the city of L.A., LADWP, and the state of California State Parks. So I have all the text messages public now. But we have the texts from the park rangers, the LAFD, and they're joking about, of course, I'm not bringing any dozers. I know the rule. You know, protected plants. keep in mind i never knew about this plant it's called milk vetch nobody respectfully cares about milk vetch but somebody in the environmental world cares more about milk vetch than 12 people burning alive because the plant that was protected is the reason pretty much these people burned alive so they do their best you know the lafd puts it out but now we know that the fire was still smoldering we have hiking footage of the next day and the day after in the state park topanga state park hikers tourists we have a guy who lived down the street of course he had his own drone that had not only a regular drone he had a thermal imaging drone so the whole hillside is just smoking and we now have a firefighter pike on his subpoena video he says that he clearly saw smoldering pockets of coal that he didn't want to touch.

43:33And he informed his chief, hey, we can't pull the hoses. And the chief said, pull the hoses, not just Pike. Multiple firefighters have now said that it was all smoking. But why would they pull the hoses? After meeting with so many firefighters since I've realized the fire department is so understaffed, so underfunded, they're operating a fire department from the 1960s with 50 % more calls now. 80 % of them are for zombies to overdoses. 30 % of the fires are zombie encampment fires. So to me now, I'm trying to get in that chief. I spoke with that chief on the phone. And in my mind, it's a budget thing.

44:16Everything's just like, oh, we don't have, you know, clocks tick in. We don't have the money to stay up here with the hoses because three years earlier, the same area in the highlands i think they left the hoses up in the palisades for 18 months you leave the hoses up because it stays hot and they have them up they pull them the next day so i think it's a funding thing i mean the chief chief crowley who mayor bass fired in retaliation for telling the truth seven weeks before the palisades fire she wrote a memo to karen bass and said i am dangerously underfunded i cannot keep angelino safe what does mayor bass do cuts another 17 million from the fire department.

44:52So in my mind, the chief's like, I can't, I don't have the money to leave guys up here. We got to go. So has anyone asked her, what was her justification for the cuts? Well, the city's broke. The city has no money. But how do they have so much money to buy homes and homeless shelters and spend all that money? Here's the best part. I've now found out since then, there was$400 million just in an account that they hadn't even touched for homeless. literally at the time she cut the 17 million there's 400 million that right now is still there that they haven't used allocated 400 million so it's they got it for the zombies not for the tax paying citizens public safety not to mention back to the taxpayers the palisades probably is largely at at the time of the fire was probably the most money in taxes was going to the city from the palisades right so you don't back to back to lockman so they leave because if you listen their testimony the state park rangers say oh we got this we'll keep an eye on this in the subpoenaed depositions they asked one of the state park rangers well did you see the smoldering hill they say uh yeah what'd you do oh i took a photo what'd you do with the photo nothing what do you mean well i'm not a firefighter so the state parks o manual says they're supposed to close this park to make sure it's not a dangerous condition obviously and to monitor it did they close the state park no worse guess what the state park rangers asked the firefighters to do and there's photos it's mind-boggling they asked the firefighters to take dead brush and fuel and they carry it and they put it over the fire break from a day earlier around where they made the fire break around that january 1st they take the dead bushes and they cover up the fire break there's photos of it it's the craziest thing you've ever seen what because they didn't want people to go on the wrong trails because they look like hiking trails now.

46:46Oh, my God. So if you wanted to be cynical, do you think that having this$400 million and keeping it in there and keeping funneling money into homelessness and not into the fire department is simply because the fire department is not profitable? You can't siphon money off of the fire department. The fire department basically just goes to fight fires. It goes to equipment, people's salaries, maintaining the fire departments. You can't steal that money. You want to know how sick it is right now? The fire department, LAFD, their union, all the members, get like choked up. I feel so because I met with these, you know, I keep meeting with these guys and you hear from their heart.

47:26You're like, oh, this is so heavy. They had to take their own money to get on ballot measure a million dollars. They all pooled it together to get a ballot measure this coming election to get a half cent on sales tax in L.A. so that they could have money to fund actual things they need. A half a cent. A half a cent on all that. But the point is, they need to go out of their own pocket to get a ballot measure because they know they will never get funded by the city to keep Angelino safe, that they got to go out of it. But there's only one way to look at it. You would look at it like, well, what would be the logical reason why they would allocate so much money towards homelessness and so little towards the fire department?

48:06When the fire department is – I've said this before, but if you want to talk about like socialism that works, the fire department is socialism that works. If you really care about socialism and that's the thing that you really believe in, there's certain aspects of socialism that are applicable in a healthy community. One of them is the fire department, that your money should go. We should pool some of our taxes to go to make sure that we're all protected. And the fire department doesn't just protect the rich people, protects all people. Fires break out. The fire department comes in regardless whether you have any money or not.

48:38We all pool our money together for the fire department. It makes sense. But if it's that, you can't steal that money, right? So there's no way you can figure. The homelessness is, it's vague. It's weird. You could hide it. It's like you're counting bodies on the street. Oh, one, two, three. Let's write 5 ,000. Like you don't have like real accounting these people because it's so chaotic. But fire department, you know the employees. You know the fire department. You know where the trucks are. You know where everything is. You can't steal that money. But that homeless budget, boy, there's a lot of wiggle room in that homeless budget.

49:18And if you wanted to be cynical, you would say that's why they fund the fire department so little and they fund the homeless so much. Well, also, these DSA socialists, they don't want to fund the fire department. They don't want to fund the police department. They want these type of entities to be defunded. They don't even want them to exist. So what do they expect when fires happen? Right now, they want things just to burn. If you look around the city. How the fuck do these people get in office? Who's voting for them? They're tricky. They have these ground teams and they go around. They got a real ground game and they go knock on all people's doors and they say, oh, we're Democrats.

50:00We helped. They have nice words and they got a strong, like in LA, I think there's 5 ,000 at least members that can hit the street. Whereas a normal, for instance, Spencer Pratt running for mayor, I don't have 5 ,000 people on deck to go knock on doors. And not to mention, they're funded. They have 100 ,000 plus members across the U.S. They have outside entities that give them money. And again, they're sneaky. If you go watch on YouTube videos, they talk so much, S-H-I-T, about Democrats, Republicans. They hate all these people. So they don't want either party. They want them. Here's the craziest part.

50:36This should be illegal. Right now, the one who's running against me, they're Democrat, you know, socialist, champagne queen. I mean, she, when you sign up with the DSA, you sign like a contract to co-govern with the DSA. How is it legal when you are— Yes. Wait a minute. Explain that. So when you become—you're a DSA member. So right now she's a city council member. And when the DSA gives you an endorsement, you sign a contract with them to co-govern. So right now she's not representing her district as an American citizen, a Los Angelinos. She's representing the Democrat Socialists of America. Yes.

51:13Wow. And that should be - Co-govern. That should be illegal. I mean, illegal. And so they can just go full ham with all these radical ideas. Yeah. And their idea is to just come in, take all of our tax money, and keep trying to invent this. They've - like, for instance, that lady has had six years in charge of her city council. Her - thousands of her constituents, message me, photos. It looks like, again, Mad Max in her area. So we're going to put her in charge. The only thing worse actually than the Cuban communist Karen Bass is actually a socialist DSA. So I'm running against worse and worse.

51:51It's truly. Is Karen Bass running for reelection? Yeah. That's why I stepped in when I saw her announce. I was like, oh, no, you don't get to burn my house down. Do people like what is the general population? I think most people have jobs and families, and they're busy. They're very busy. So it's very difficult to be completely informed about all this. What is the general perception of Karen Bass? What is her approval rating in Los Angeles? She has the record lowest approval rating in the history right now. So UCLA just did a poll about a week ago. I'm number two to Karen Bass. She has approximately 20-something percent.

52:28I think I have 13 percent with 40 percent undecided. Those 40%, I keep saying, those are my voters. Those are people that are fed up. They know they're not voting for camera pass. They just don't know. There's a guy named Spencer Pratt that's saying, we need common sense. We need to clean these streets. No more fentanyl at the park. Parents need to feel comfortable taking their kids to school without seeing meth zombies having sex on the side of the street. We're talking common sense. This is not political, what I'm running on. Not to mention, the mayor is a nonpartisan race. There's no letters on it for a reason.

53:03The mayor is supposed to represent all of Los Angeles, period. It's not a you'll never get me ever doing these performative politics, talking about national issues, doing the bait and switch stuff. We're all talking about over here. Why? I destroy your actual local government. That's the problem. Everyone gets caught up in the media and they follow what's going on in different states and different politics and in the federal government. when the people that really affect your life, who are destroying your way of life, are your local government, your mayor, your city council, your fire commission, your police commission.

53:39When I'm mayor, I'm wiping out this fire commission. We're putting actual experts that know what they're talking about, not these rando, political, pointy lunatics. Same with the police commission. You need to have people that pride themselves in law enforcement and want accountability and want the best from the police department. You know, the police department is the lowest it's been in 30 years in Los Angeles. And here's my favorite thing. In terms of staff? Yeah, in terms of police officers. 30 years. 30 years. Here's the best part. They'll tell you, the mayor said, crime is down. I have truly, because I spend all day long just reading DMs.

54:15It's down in terms of its reporting. Thank you. Every message I get, they say, call 911. You'll be on hold for God knows how long. If they ever pick up, if it's literally not like somebody is getting shot at that moment, you know, if you're trying to report crime or this, they're not coming. Nobody's filing it. They don't have the staff to be doing that. So the real crime numbers are so insane. Not to mention Karen Bass will brag about homicides are down. First off, that's a national trend. She's taking credit for the whole United States down. But I even have another angle on that. I'd have to go probably to some emergency hospitals.

54:53But I think Los Angeles has such good trauma nurses and trauma doctors, the amount of stabbings and shootings, they probably keep people alive. That's the real number. You know, maybe 30 years ago before we were so good with quick clot and, you know, and God knows we have so much stuff now that keeps people alive. Just on the Metro alone, the stabbings are everything is double last year. So these people are living, but everyone's getting stabbed everywhere. I keep joking that everyone loved that guy in New York, Mondami or whatever his name is, because he said everything's going to be free. Well, as mayor on the metros in Los Angeles, Mayor Pratt will make sure you're going to be free from stabbings.

55:36So there you go. You're welcome. Yeah, that's a that's a good point. It's like just because the actual murders are down, it doesn't mean that the actual violence is down. New analysis by LA City Controller says that at least$513 million meant to help homeless went unspent. This was just 2024. That's about$400 plus in 2025 also. Good Lord. Yeah, the$400 is for sure. And then where's that money go? Just last week, the federal government paused a$400 million payment that was coming because they said all these federal audits aren't, you're not showing the book. So just the money is just coming. And that's, we're just talking to LA, which is the epicenter of the whole state of California.

56:23You know, all this fraud that you keep hearing about everything, it all comes from LA and then goes out to California. It's like LA is the death star, you know, and that's why I'm coming in. And Luke Skywalker. Well, Nick Shirley started doing investigations into all sorts of other fraud that's all around Los Angeles with hospices and all these different things. And they're finding hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud. But not for much longer because he could be facing a$10 ,000 fine. Isn't that crazy? According to the new California bill yesterday. So this is a new bill. Instead of saying, wow, thank you for uncovering this fraud, they passed a bill that if you film things and you go to a place and identify that place and then somehow or another those people, what, get harassed or something because of it, you could get fined.

57:17Yeah. So I was already saying on my own podcast, my plan as mayor, because everyone kept being like, oh, you need Nick Shirley. No, what I need is all of Los Angeles to be a Nick Shirley. I as mayor am going to offer cash bounties. If you film any fraud, city workers doing something suspicious, any type of scams, and you bring it to the mayor's office and we check it out, I'm going to pay you. So now I got to deal with the state, you know, if that passes. But I was already going to just make the city become these niche. Everybody has an iPhone. What an insane response. What an insane response.

57:52Instead of thanking someone for uncovering criminal fraud, you make a new law where you turn them into criminals. These people are laundering more money than El Chapo. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's what I keep trying to say. Oh, it's billions. Billions and billions of dollars. This is real criminals. Like the Gotti, all these people we used to think were mobsters at the Italian shops back in the day. They couldn't even comprehend what's going on right now. And then even on the city level, like when I went mad in a fire station, they were telling me about how if a refrigerator, this is mafia stuff, if a refrigerator breaks, you know, firefighters, they know how to take the refrigerator and they put it out.

58:31The city person comes in, they go, oh, no, put that back in. You can't have that taken in. So they make them put the broken thing back in before the next person comes. And then it costs like$50 ,000 and this only this one city contract can fix it. And it's not for, you know, up for bid. And that is where all this extra money that isn't going to actually getting these firefighters with any. The fire station I was at, they had a fire truck that should have been retired to Mexico 10 years ago. And instead they like pay to put a new back bumper on it. These guys have to pay out of their own pocket for the blinds, the paint.

59:10And they do it because they live here. it's so sad where lafd used to be the symbol of great like the goat firefighters that everyone looked to how we've just let it fall apart same with lapd we have just no pride and what's happening is the olympics are coming and what i keep telling everybody is we're gonna have a terrorist attack is because we're not even safe for our streets right now they're not even protected. If we do fires alone, all a terrorist cell needs to do is get five of those black e-bikes and they need to go on a windy day leading up to the Olympics, go around with road flares, tossing them out on all the 50 years of dead brush.

59:51The entire city will look like a nuclear bomb went off. Look at the Palisades. One area, all five bad guys, bad actors go around and do that. It's done. And by the way, there's a lot of evidence that a lot of the fire in the Palisades It's not just the initial fire, but subsequent fires were caused by arson. In fact, my friend Andrew filmed some guys doing it. He filmed guys lighting things on fire. He filmed it in his car. He was watching these vagrants, filming them lighting things on fire. Two days ago, there's photos of a vagrant homeless zombie in the Palisades trying to light a fire right now.

1:00:30Thankfully, the area hasn't grown back yet, but two days ago. these zombies people don't like the word zombie but they are zombies yes there's different boxes of homelessness there's people that need help down on their luck lost their job quick boom that is one box it's a very small box but I am aware of those then there is a 95 % box that are people that are just fentanyl zombies just want to live on the streets and be a drug addict Like right now, maybe some of those people get help. They get sober, get proper treatment. Now they get a new chance of life. Then there's another box that are just people that want to do drugs and be a bad person.

1:01:16We have to acknowledge there's actually just bad people that are in a different box. There's also people that want everything else to fall apart because their life is in the shit. They live in shit. Their life is hell, and they don't want to see you drive by an Alexis. They don't want to see you go to your nice house. They don't want to see any of that. They want to light things on fire. Well, that's how also these DSA people get support because they've destroyed the city so much. You look around and you think, oh, the American dream is broken. Capitalism is broken. But they're the ones that broke it.

1:01:50So if you're just like a young 20-year-old looking around, you're like, oh, my God, there's zombies everywhere. Rent so much. All the restaurants are closing. This system doesn't work. But what they're not looking at is who's breaking the system that did work. The one that I grew up in that was so beautiful. Over 100 restaurants in L.A. have closed this year. Over 100. And these aren't chains. These are people that put their life into this. These are chefs. And they can't make it in a place that was a go-to food spot. Well, where I used to do comedy in Los Angeles on Sunset at the Comedy Store, if you drive down Sunset now, everything is for lease.

1:02:28It's fucking nuts. It used to be very difficult to get a property on sunset because it was so valuable in the 90s and the early 2000s Like everybody wanted to have a restaurant on sunset Everybody want to have a bar on sunset because that's where everybody went There was always cars and it was nice and you could walk on the street We would walk down to get food. We would go to the stand after we would The standard rather after we would go to the car. I would fucking never walk down that street now It was normal and that's you trained up, you know ready to go with the sidekick Like imagine a lovely lady that just wants to walk her little dog.

1:03:04The amount of people that just are just dog walkers. They're like, I am scared to walk my dog. I won't say which newscaster, but I had a newscaster off camera recently and said, everything you're saying is true. She goes, every morning I have to get up at 5 a.m. because it's the safest time for me to do my morning run. Every day, naked zombie. She said, I'm running by a naked zombie trying to. Can you imagine not, you know, you and I don't want to go walk on the street, But just like a woman with their little dog or moms with strollers. And it's not it's across the entire city. I watch news in Spanish where these underpasses in South Central or East L.A.

1:03:41These families have been coming to the news and they're like, please, because they're having to take their kids under these underpasses within camp. It's to get to the schools. It's not just like a Hollywood thing or a valley. It's everywhere. It's everywhere. And I don't think people understand it. Can we show some videos? Let's show some videos of some of the the real chaotic homelessness in Los Angeles so people can get a look at it Because you know, I've had some friends send me videos like my friend Whitney Cummings. She went Through Los Angeles a couple of months ago and she sent me a video and I was like this is fucking nuts because I I haven't been I don't go there anymore, man.

1:04:18I fucking avoid that place like the plague. I still love it I used to love it. I never even thought until the pandemic hit, I was like, I'll probably be here forever. And now it's just nuts. It's the Street People of Los Angeles Instagram account. They show this stuff all the time. Street People of Los Angeles Instagram account. This is a dad and a son walking by. Yeah. Well, this is a small. That's in the valley. No, but the point is, yeah, I posted this also in the sense that look at these little kids. They got to go by. We used to have our studio in Woodland Hills, and we used to have guys that were camping out right in front.

1:04:55Look at that. Even Perez Hilton is on your side. Pratt is the path what Los Angeles needs. You see that, bro? Perez. God bless Perez. You might be the only person saying that. No, he had near-death experience and came to Jesus. Good for him. He's locked in. I hope it sticks. Was that somebody dying? No, he died twice, pretty much. From what? What happened? He took antibiotics without food when he, which I didn't know was a thing. That's why I say to take food. And then, again, I'm going to say this wrong, but whatever that creates, some situation, boom, now he has sepsis. And he's next to death for 30 days.

1:05:35And then when he just got out of the hospital, then he has a blood clot. So he's like Bible all day. He talked to God when he was like dead. So I think he's for real, for real. Okay. Well, that would be nice. He's another nice person in the world. He's a powerful prayer warrior now. Show me some Skid Row. Some Skid Row footage is the nuttiest. Okay. Skid Row footage is the real, that's the real red pill. I mean. You're like, how? It's just, there's no better way to describe it than how you described it earlier. It's literally a criminal cartel. It's a criminal cartel that's siphoning money off of people.

1:06:15Look at that guy. Just needs a job. These people just need a home. Come on, man. This is not that bad. This is very minor. Like, there's certain areas of skid row. Look how they have tents, which is so crazy. Well, you paid for that. You didn't. I did. Oh, look at this. This guy's protecting against vampires. Yeah. These are nice clips. That guy just needs a job, dude. Relax. Poor dog. Oh. I know. I see dogs with homeless people. I just want to. I'm such a dog lover. I can't go to the dog pound. If I went to the dog pound, I'd have 100 dogs. And my wife would never let that happen. But that drives me nuts.

1:06:54So that guy there and the Fendal, these Fendal hangs, they don't need beds. Right. That's not a bed issue. No. It's not a housing. They need to get cleaned up. And for people that don't know, this was not like this. This was not like this a decade ago. This is a rapid decline in what this city looks like. Oh, there's some nice people. Oh. It's just crazy. It's a—this is not as radical as it could be. Skid Row is really—if you can find some— I mean, there's innumerable videos. I can't click uncheck them all fast enough. All right, try this one. Skid Row, right there. It's got 600 views. I was going to try to find one.

1:07:33Also, the reality is it's— Right there, that one. I spent a day on Skid Row. There was a comic in the early 2000s that went undercover and lived on Skid Row for a couple of days to film things. And it was pretty astonishing even back then. But again, this is a created environment that they created because they didn't want to deal with the homeless people. And they're like, you know what we should do? We should just take these people and put them in one spot and don't let them leave. And that's how they created Skid Row. And, you know, decades later, you have five zero, 50 blocks of nothing but this kind of shit where it's just fucking chaos.

1:08:12It's just homeless people everywhere. And it's so sad. All lost lives. You know, as a father, you know, you're a father. This is someone's children. This is someone had a baby. And that baby they loved more than anything. Like, oh, my God, you're so precious. That precious person is now in the middle of an intersection hunched over on fentanyl. Well, the amount of people that message me and say, thank you, my so-and-so brother, daughter, son died of fentanyl overdose. These people need mandatory treatment. They don't need just, oh, if you want, we have these needles for you. We have street med teams where we can come in.

1:08:52You know, it's crazy. And it's back to being a dad. I'm only running for mayor to do one last Hail Mary to try to save the city I love and grew up. And if it doesn't work, you're out. Well, they already burned down my house. That's what the L.A. Times was. That's the funniest. Did you see this? No. They tried to do a hit piece, L.A. Times, and say that I wasn't eligible to run for mayor because my house burned down. This was last week. No, I'm not kidding. This is real. And they were like, oh, he's living in Santa Barbara right now. I thought the LA Times had become more reasonable when that guy owned it.

1:09:29That was completely not true. And the funniest part is the LA Times is in El Segundo for the last eight years. So they're the ones that should be worried about it. So what happens is they say, oh, it's up in the air because he's in San Bernardino. So I call the city clerk and I say, hey, the LA Times is reporting that I know I'm eligible. Everybody knows. It's like saying that 7 ,000 people whose houses burned down now can't vote. Right. They can't vote. Because you don't have a house there. Because Karen Bass, who you're not supposed to vote for, because she burned your house down, you can't vote for her.

1:09:59So he's like, of course you can run. I said, anybody can call and ask this? He's like, yes, it's on our website. So it was just a full hit piece. So why would the LA Times, who was the person who wrote that story? This guy Noah Goldberg. And why is because he's pushing the Nithya Rama. And there's a video of him at the bar with her. Like, yay. They won. And she's the Democrat socialist. Yes. And LA Times wants their own clickbaity mandami. They try to make their – Mandami is a custom-built Manchurian candidate, 20 years in the making. He's a star. That's why he's got the smile. You can't take this bootleg wannabe and try to cook her into it.

1:10:35So they dropped this fake hit piece on me the day the UCLA poll comes out that has me in the lead and not the one that they had just run some fake DSA, you know, BS poll that nobody believed. It was movie scene. How is this person doing in the polls, this person that you're running against? They're at 9%, I think. But again, the polls, I'm in number one. Anybody, they know this. She's in charge on the city council. She's the chairperson of the homeless, of the homeless plan. Okay? She wants to, what's she going to change? She's had six years. So we're going to put, and then she's tweeting or X, you know, whatever you call it.

1:11:14Like, my new plan, homeless is not working. Oh, so you just announced you're running for mayor. The best part is she's had six years to not say any of these problems until she's running for mayor. These politicians are just it's the problem. The demons. The problem is people have jobs. People aren't paying attention like me. They just hear the little fake. I care. This isn't working. Oh, she's a city council member. Oh, she's a Democrat. No, she's not. She's not a Democrat. I'm the one who's been fighting for Democrats for the last year and a half to expose all of this fraud our literal city letting our town burn to the ground so that's when I really stepped up so I watched this movie Hot Shot a documentary on fires and I see in this documentary 100 mile per hour I think it's the oak the oak fire in the film and you see 100 mile per hour wind and the firefighters are just standing there with like garden hoses and you're seeing that a hundred mile per hour wind does not mean everything burns down because this community have fire breaks so then i like see who this guy who like live with these these hot shots for six years so i find him on x and he's live streaming talking about how the palisades fire before anybody was not started on january 7th but a rekindle from that first fire When the LAFD, this is where it gets so conspiracy, Chinatown movie type shit.

1:12:45They hired a crisis PR firm, the lead company. Here's the best part. Guess where they got the money? The mayor's office where they got the money to hire the crisis. From the LAFD foundation. They used charity money to hire a crisis team to alter the after action report that says all these things that went wrong. to make the mayor, Karen Bass, look good. Oh, my God. I find this out because I start, you know, posting about what this director, Gabriel Mann, is saying about, you know, the Palisades fires. I'm posting now. I got info. So now firefighters start coming in my DMs as whistleblowers. Hey, just so you know, the after-action report that went out, that was the ninth version, and the battalion chief that wrote it wouldn't put his name on it because they changed it so much.

1:13:34So I do a post about that. three weeks later the LA Times everything I post three weeks later they would steal my thing and be like Pulitzer Prize guy it's like I posted that three weeks ago because the firefighters were coming to me and telling me what was going on behind the scenes so also as mayor I'm going to make sure that the fire department the fire chief has civil protections again so right now the fire chief is like a puppet they have to do whatever the mayor says cover up for the mayor they're just another politician they need to be responsible for the angelinos the public and they don't have that protection the mayor can just get rid of them so you got to give them these civil protections back like they have the mayor can't just get rid of the police chief for instance but that's when i was like oh these people are it's organized crime thank you like it sounds like the mob here's the best part you know when the mayor was in ghana as everything was burning down do you know who she left in charge, her deputy mayor, do you know where the deputy mayor was?

1:14:35The deputy mayor, Mayor Karen Bassett's deputy mayor, was on house arrest because he was arrested for calling in a bomb threat to City Hall. This is real life. This is the person that's supposed to take the call because she's in Africa. Why did he call in a bomb threat to City Hall? Great question. I was I you know so that's who people were dealing with so when they're like oh Spencer you don't have the experience to be mayor well I promise my deputy mayors that I have on deck they aren't calling in any bomb threats to City Hall so we're already starting ahead of the curve also I'm not going in to steal taxpayer money I'm going in to stop all this so again I really believe there's enough common sense people that see that I'm not doing politics I don't want to do any of this.

1:15:27Politics are, it's a job. These people are career politicians. I never wanted to be a career politician. Before my house burned down, I was selling my healing crystals. They, just to be clear, they have no magical powers. They all burned in my house. So anybody, you know, you're buying them. They, you know, I thought that I had protection energy. They don't. So, you know, and feeding hummingbirds and taking my kids to school. That was my dream life. and they burned it down. And now they have their worst nightmare coming to just undo the whole thing. Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor of Public Safety agrees to plead guilty to threatening to bomb L.A.

1:16:06City Hall last year. Now, what was the reason? Brian K. Williams, 61 of Pasadena, is charged in a single count information with threats regarding fire and explosives. It doesn't have a reason, but it says what he did. You know, I don't think there's ever a good reason. I mean, I would like to hear his reason. Bomb threat. I received a call on my city cell phone at 1048 this morning. The mail caller stated that he was tired of the city support of Israel, and he's decided to place a bomb in City Hall. So that's it. It might be in the rotunda. I immediately contacted. So it was about Israel. Wow.

1:16:46He made it up. up here it says that he uses Google voice application on his personal cell phone to place a call to a city-issued cell phone. Wow. He then left the meeting and called the chief of staff up. Doesn't say why. What a fucking idiot. I will say Mayor Bassett. Is that guy still employed? Find out if that guy's still employed. I would think not. I would imagine he's going to... Oh, no. I think he's gone to federal prison. Oh, he's facing 10 years? Yeah, I think so. I wonder if he has paid leave. Probably He's in federal prison. Oh, God. But notice he at least, Mayor Bass, with her cell phone, the whole week of the Palisades fire, she deleted all her text messages.

1:17:27I wonder why. Oh, you know, this is, they're like a terrorist cell. Breaking burner phones. How the fuck are you even allowed to do that? Former L.A. deputy mayor sentenced to probation and$5 ,000 fine. That's it. Just probation. well in his defense his mayor was spending i think she went to cuba 30 times to learn how to build bombs and bomb america when she was part of the venice roma venice rome venice ramos brigade so how old was she when that's 1920 and she never ever said she had any problem with being like a cuban uh communist terrorist until biden was going to pick her as vp and then they made her say i denounce that I was trying to blow up the Capitol with my terrorist cell when I was younger.

1:18:18But for all those years, she never said anything. When Fidel Castro died, she said something like, rest in peace, El Comedante. What? Yes. No way. Yes, but you can find it. And then it gets even better. Oh, well, hey, guys, relax. Williams was just suffering from stress and anxiety when he called in a threat. Oh, poor guy. No big deal. Poor guy. Overworked. Stress and anxiety and somehow or another it was about Israel? Not to mention these people would just get away with all of this. They keep getting away with it. That's the problem with the media, what I've learned from being part of the television world.

1:18:56You notice, why do they let the mayor and the city councils get away with all of talking about this? At the end of the day, that's their talent. It's like a soap opera. They got to keep filming with the mayor and the city council. If they just air them out, they're not picking up the call. It's like a production. Exactly. Then they don't have content anymore. Exactly. So the local news needs to keep it. Right. Right. They don't have access anymore. Yeah. So that's why I'm like, why? Because I talk to these people off camera and they're all like. Like an organized crime organization. They're like, please.

1:19:30I'm like, why aren't you? It's organized crime. I mean, it's like they pay people off. They've got little deals. You wash my back. I wash yours. Come on. Yeah. And so thankfully, because people are like, aren't you scared of these people? I'm like, what, are they going to burn my house down again? Are they going to burn my mom's house down again? So it gives you like a confidence. What are they going to do? I mean, the crime in Los Angeles, when you talk to average people, like the people that I know that live there, they're fucking terrified. They say break-ins are just commonplace now where they used to be very rare.

1:20:05You get home invasions constantly. I mean, Ted Sarandos, his mother-in-law was killed in a home invasion. And they're happening all the time. It's because there's no police response, and they know there's not going to be a police response. So more people are hiring private security. It's very difficult to get a gun or at least a concealed carry permit. It's very difficult. In defense of L.A. County Sheriff and LAPD, they have gotten better at CCWs now because of the law? Because of the crime. I mean, it's not the sheriff's fault. The sheriff wants it. Yeah, and they don't have the staff even to process it.

1:20:41So it just takes up to a year. But I know they all – that's the thing. I talk to so many sheriffs, so many LAPDs, so many firefighters. Everybody is just broken. Their spirits are broken. Why are we doing this? Why don't we just go to Newport Beach or Huntington? Or Florida. Yeah, just leave the state. What am I doing? They keep saying. Well, this is the thing that Newsom always chimes in about how much money California brings in, how many venture capitalists are in California, how much money in tech is in California. Right. But it has nothing to do with your government. It has in spite of your government.

1:21:20They're doing that. And they're leaving. Hollywood was the greatest thing the amount of money Hollywood made for Los Angeles from the grips to the camera operators to the glam people to the costume people don't understand people hate like Hollywood stupid movie stars are so rich they forget about the ecosystem that connects to that say Tom Cruise the amount of money is gone and for instance just last week they finally got Baywatch to come back to LA. Baywatch starts shooting for like two days and then they kick him off the beach. There's all these permit problems. So I write a sub stack calling this out, calling out the mayor.

1:22:02Next thing you know they come back and the mayor makes a deal. What's the funniest thing right now is whatever I post and do the mayor is now doing. Like I said the other day, I'm getting rid of the whole fire commission. This fire commission has been there for like 10 years I think. After I do this post or whatever, boom! Four out of five of the fire commission resign. So they're trying to just get ahead of all the things of what I'm saying, which is fun because already I'm like the mayor. So this is great. Well, it's also they can't possibly do enough without completely undermining their entire organization.

1:22:35They're always going to have so much fraud and waste that your case will always be solid. There's no way. There's no they would have to literally like tank everything they're doing. They got them in the position. And if they talk about how much of a failure, then they're definitely not keeping their job. Right. Which is, that's the problem with all of, they're all in a, ready for this, the lady, Janice Quinonez, that was in charge of the LADWP that drained. So in the Pacific Palisades, there was the San Yanez Reservoir. It had 117 million gallons of water. When it was created, the engineer, he's on the cover of LA Times back in the day, and he's talking about, he built this for wildfire protection.

1:23:18now in their defense the city and LADWP says that was drinking water no one was drinking this water I promise you so there was a tear on this drinking water they allegedly the firefighting water so they drain the entire reservoir because of a little tear that would have cost$120 ,000 to repair for over a year this woman was making$750 ,000 a year as the head of LADWP twice her predecessor that mayor bass brought in keep in mind if you make that much money do you know what the people below her are making 500 400 these people get so much money and they spend over a year to fix a tear and it's back to the mafia thing oh i'm sure it's like oh we got to use this contractor because we don't have an open bid oh that's too cheap we know who knows the conspiracy to why they didn't tear it so while that's drained next door to my house that i watched weekly the the local LAFD would do training.

1:24:19They'd hook up to it. I had a 5 million gallon reservoir for firefighting. So while they're doing that one, they're like, oh, we should fix this one too. They drain that one. And they're like, oh, we drained it. When we refill it, there's some issues. We can't refill it. They leave two reservoirs empty. Back, rewind what I told you, in a season that's the driest ever, that they've actually had a fire, I think in 2019, where there wasn't water in the reservoir and thankfully there was no wind and they had to drive water tenders up onto the hillside for the helicopters to dip because that's the key.

1:24:56What people don't understand is like, oh, nothing could have stopped this fire, you know, people that defend these people. If the reservoir had the water in it, the helicopters, these$17 million helicopters that Newsom loves to do the photo shoots in front of, how fast they are, would have had to fly less than 30 seconds from the origin of the fire again when the winds were fine for six hours in the initial thing but instead those helicopters had to fly all the way to Malibu to Pepperdine College and all the way to Encino to get the water for the helicopters to fly all the way back to where the fire was next door to where the empty reservoir is so they spent 66 % of their time not fighting the fire going to get the water so it's back to like why I say it's Chinatown we have this LADWP that these people get all this money they increase everyone's rates this year everyone's rates went up 11 % they're going to go up 7 % annually for no reason, you're not getting alkaline water out of it, I'm convinced we used to joke like oh there's fluoride in the water how much fentanyl is in our damn water right now, I mean we're not getting better water for that 7 % increase they're doubling everyone's trash even though the entire city has more trash.

1:26:13I talked to this guy, Juan, from Clean LA. He goes around. He's from Ecuador. He does these mingas where he moved here from Ecuador. And he said it's the dirtiest thing he's ever seen his whole life. So he just started cleaning up trash and posting it. And now people will give him GoFundMe money. And he cleans more of the city than the city. And I had him on my podcast. I said, what's the problem here, Juan? And he said, people don't care, Spencer. And I said, so I'm mayor. I hire you. Are we going to get the city clean? And he's like, Spencer, they want a billion dollars next year for the trash.

1:26:44He's like, I can do this for easy$500 million. I said, OK, you're hired one. I said, what are we going to do with that? He said, we got to fire all these people, Spencer. They don't care. He said it's dirtier than any third world country he's ever been. So they're doubling our trash rates. They're doubling our sewage. So more money, more money. It's back to taxes. Oh, the rich need to give more. if the quality of life just keeps getting worse and worse, why would anybody with money stay in California or Los Angeles when they know the fraud, the waste, the corruption? People that are rich, billionaires, whoever they are, if the city lights all work, right now, the two mayors I'm running for let, do you know about the copper theft?

1:27:28There's no working lights in the city of LA because they got rid of the copper task force because they obviously can't fund the LAPD. so they let everyone steal all the copper so everything's dark in the whole city. So Mayor Bass goes last week and makes a press conference. I solved it. I'm going to spend$200 million and we're going to do solar power lights. You think these thieves aren't going to then pivot to stealing solar batteries and slaying those? No, we got to stop the criminals. The best video right now, I think, there's a couple of good ones. This Nithya Rahman, the Democratic Socialist who's running for mayor, she is asked about all the Cadillac converters that are being stolen.

1:28:05She said, well, Toyota is making these too easy to steal. It's like leaving your MacBook on the front seat. This is real talk. I'm not kidding. It's Toyota's fault. Toyota's fault that people are stealing catalytic converters. Yes. That's hilarious. Every fucking car has a catalytic converter. It just sits underneath. You can just saw off the exhaust and take it out. If you know anything about cars, it's not fucking Toyota. It's every car. Oh, here's another great one of her lines. she's at our city council meeting she's the city council member all these moms and parents are saying we don't want these encampments where there's two known gangs selling fentanyl through holes in the tents the zombies are everywhere these parents are saying we don't want these encampments which are illegal they're asking the city council member to enforce the law and she argues with the parents and says there's no difference if the encampment's one foot or 500 feet from the school all the parents boo her and she goes whatever and rolls her eyes these are the people that are going to show up and vote for me these moms and these dads well there's a giant amount of people in california that have been red pilled that this just realized like whatever you thought your government was when you thought you were voting for a progressive kind compassionate government that is a sheep outfit over a wolf It's not what you have.

1:29:31It's not what you're getting. What you're getting is organized crime. What you're getting is organized crime that is using this filter of compassionate, caring, inclusive government. And it's not real. It's not real. What you're getting is more homeless, more crime, more murder, more chaos, more maybe not more murder. Maybe it's almost murder. Almost murder. Yeah, maybe more shootings and stabbings, but better medical care is keeping them alive. But the idea that crime is down it's like the anecdotally you ask anybody in LA They would not agree to that most people think crime is up home invasions are fucking ubiquitous.

1:30:07It's everywhere So I spoke with these SWAT guys the other day and I said, you know You guys having a lot of you know gang standout. He said actually no the gangs business as usual They know when we show up that you know the hands up they're gonna get out in the week. They're professional They're just for the money. He says, our biggest call outs now are mental health, you know, episodes that the person doesn't know where they are or whatever. And I said, but what about all these like home invasion crews and that are coming in, robbing everyone's house? He goes, there's nothing we could do. He says, these people all know they're getting out in two weeks.

1:30:43I said, what do you mean? Is that a felony? They're coming in with guns. He said, nope. You can go break into a house with a gun while people are there. families rob them tie them up and get out not only that if you shoot those people while they're in your house you'll be prosecuted yeah you gotta prove you are fearing for your life you're supposed to leave your house rather than defend your house against people with weapons that enter your house i personally would advise to to lock yourself in in a closet and have your firearm and have a strong point. Yeah, but even that, like, well, you're gonna just let someone break into your house and steal your childhoods, whatever, whatever they're stealing, whatever, steal your fucking jewelry and you have to heirlooms and whatever you've worked your whole life to earn.

1:31:34Yeah, that's fucking insane. It's insane. And the fact that you have this no cash bail situation and just letting these people out on the street that are violent criminals, repeat offenders. it's like if you wanted to destroy la that's how you would do it they're doing it and that's why i get so my hardest thing every day now is just staying not too pumped up because now that i'm in this fight and i have all the messages all day long everywhere i go on the street people old ladies hugging me crying like please i'm scared the the pressure i feel to get in here and just undo this, unplug this. And I met with a lot of business owners and they said the mayor, the city council, they all know what needs to be done, but they don't want to push the buttons.

1:32:18Somebody needs to just come in and push them. If there's one thing I know, I will push these buttons and we're going to get the city under control because it just starts with enforcing the law. So I have a deputy mayor that I can't say who he is because of fear of retaliation at this point because of issues with the city right now who's in power. But this deputy mayor who will help me enforce the law made it very clear. Once you start enforcing the law, criminals leave. They know, oh, the gig's up. They will go somewhere else. Once you start making arrests, people will leave. This idea, oh, there's no room in the jails.

1:32:53Where are you going to put all these people? Once you start enforcing law, they will leave. And it's as simple as that. He was suggesting for two weeks, you go around the city, put up signs, no more fentanyl at the park, no more open drug use, no more encampments. You have two week countdown. You tell every, you give them a warning. So if you want to leave in advance, you know, most of these people, which is what I hear the most from law enforcement are not from Los Angeles. They have been flown in, bust in back to the business. There's a body business where they bring homeless people to the city to make the money off them.

1:33:29They're from all over the country. They're brought here because this is the epicenter where they're making all the money. So you don't think these NGOs, when they hear Spencer Pratt's the new mayor, he's got the IRS criminal investigation team, they're going to take this scam, I'm sorry, to other states and cities. The show's going to go on the road, and they're going to open up shop where there's a mayor that lets this go down, and it will stop in L.A. And this trickle-down effect, when restaurants don't have zombies in front of them, You can go back to having outdoor seating because it doesn't smell like human poop.

1:34:00The whole town smells like the whole city smells like human poop and pee. It's crazy. So when you get rid of that, not to mention you're in my best plan. Yeah. I'm bringing in the CDC. Los Angeles love the white suits and during COVID. They love, they love CDC. I'm bringing in the CDC because you know how much typhoid and medieval diseases are in these encampments that nobody's swabbing. Mayor Pratt is bringing the CDC and we're going to swab all of them. And once we get those test results back, I promise you the federal government will be shutting down streets with white tents and hosing things down with chlorine.

1:34:38God knows what, because people are living in the sewers. I don't know if you saw last week that lady pops out of the sewer that Juan from Clean LA did a video. It went viral. She's living in like in the sewer, a whole full thing. what is with poop and pee you know what type of diseases are going on in there CDC will clean these streets again people are like oh Spencer is not going to have the resources with the Olympics coming we have Homeland Security we got DEA another thing we're just letting I talked to the dog rescue people they say you stand on Skid Row or any street in LA you can watch the drug dealers just pulling up in Escalades, Teslas all the nicest cars just slanging no problem mayor pratt dea is coming in at we have so much funding when you bring the feds in to enforce the law to get the streets ready for the olympics the current administration they want to play pretend get that money to launder oh we need that billion dollars we'll we'll clean the streets no no you come do it help me out so it's not like i won't be able to do this and people when they hear me say they're like it's our guy so let's let's we haven't even talked jujitsu are we gonna put on geese or what let's talk about day one so day one realistically what can you do and how do you implement all these ideas that you have so right now what i've learned is all the smartest brightest people would never want to come work in la because they know any of their ideas are not going to be used.

1:36:13The system is in play. The amount of private industry, like for instance, a CEO's house burned down who sold his company to Warren Buffett. We're talking big, legit CEO. He said, I'll come in. I'll work for a dollar a year. You know, there's people like this that want to get LA back that I'm going to surround myself. People like Rick Caruso. He wants to get building. You lean on these people that they talk about it. They just don't want to go into this toxic environment that you can't. It's a cartel. They know there's only so much they can do unless there's a mayor like me that's going to let them do it.

1:36:50I just got off the phone with Steve Mosco. He was the president of multiple studios, Sony. I'm going to bring him in with an Avengers team for Hollywood. How we clean up all these permit issues and get Hollywood back and make the incentives. My idea is literally not charge. You want to shoot in LA, there's no, we need, we're going to charge you. We need work. And then we can, in six years, we can come back and worry about that, but bring the business back. So meeting with the Ted Sarandos, putting these actual commissions, not to mention, I already met with the, there's the community budget advocates.

1:37:25They're like LA budget experts. They presented seven budget initiatives to Mayor Bastion and do one. I'm going to do all seven. These type of budget things where you don't just increase all these payments to city unions or whatever with if the budget doesn't have the money there's going to be a commission that looks everything publicly for 30 days right now it's just her cao it's like having your accountant and and check your taxes like from the irs it's all we need to have outside independent people checking all this stuff so it's more of again i'm talking with chief garcia who's retiring who's the goat firefighter to be one of my deputy to be one of my deputy mayors of fire and public safety, not a deputy mayor that calls bomb threats into the city.

1:38:10So just using experienced people that want to get L.A. and surrounding myself. One thing I know I have is common sense. Now all the things that I need, the professionals, you bring them in and they'll want to work with me because they know, they hear my message, oh, he's going to undo all this. You're telling me for$750 ,000, I couldn't find a better LADWP CEO to make sure there's waters in the reservoir, figure out how to get rates down. We have plenty of money. We're paying these jobs. We're clearly not getting the proper talent. Obviously, look at the city. You're getting talent that's ideologically aligned.

1:38:49Yeah, exactly. And it's a part of this whole cartel. Exactly. And they know what they're doing. They know the game. They play the game. They listen to whatever the top dogs say. and they follow business as usual and the money keeps getting moved around. To the point where I can poach talent from other major cities that are successful at these jobs. I can pay them more clearly than other people. They'll be like, wow, you did this here? Come out to LA. Don't worry, the zombies will be gone by the time you get here. But there are these people, there's tons of cities around America that don't look like LA.

1:39:23This is not some rocket science I have to figure out. You're in one of them right now. There we go. Yeah. Drive around Austin. There's a homeless problem, but it's minor. It's very small in comparison to Los Angeles. Again, there will be homeless problems always. Everywhere. Always. But the drug addiction crime where they run the streets, that's a problem that can be fixed. And encampments can be fixed. Look at what they did in San Francisco when Xi Jinping was visiting San Francisco. and gavin newsom literally said when someone comes to your house to visit you clean up your house how about just keep your fucking house clean like what are you saying if you have the resources to clean it up when a foreign dignitary comes into town why don't you just keep your town clean and we're the ones that own the house the taxpayers yeah we already pay to keep the house clean no back to newsom and fires my one of the things we need to touch upon back to climate change and him going to munich and he talks about the fires it's 365 days a year it's climate that's interesting for somebody who's fire service the cal fire he only pays them seasonal when the palisades fire hit all of most of cal fire was down for the season if it's a 360 force and that's why the only reason brentwood exist and didn't burn all the way just like the palisades is that chief Garcia, he was ready with the U.S.

1:40:49Forest Service because he fought the feds to make sure he has a real fire service that's 365 because he understands it can pop off whenever. So he had all his tankers and helicopters. They came to Palisades and saved the day. So this idea, they just talk, talk. Oh, I spend all this money on all these things. But then you don't. And then he cut their salaries. I mean, we don't we could do a whole episode on Newsom. I got to stay focused. And it's back to. It's amazing that that guy thinks he could be president. Not when I'm mayor of L.A. because I'm going to cook him. I just don't understand how anybody could think that he would do a good job.

1:41:24He ruined San Francisco. Then he ruined California. And now he wants to ruin the country. Like what? How the fuck do they think because he talks well and he doesn't even talk well. He just talks well for people that are in that position. There's just a lot of people that talk way better than him that aren't interested in the job. Well, that's what we need to get past. And the audience, the taxpayers, audience, whatever you want to call them, we need to stop falling for performative politics. The mayor of LA, she's so good at it. She gets everyone riled up like she's Che Guevara fighting for freedom, but she can do nothing.

1:42:00She literally as mayor cannot stop anything with the federal government. It's all just an act. And same with Newsom. They're like social media influencers. do your job we're paying our tax money for you to make sure our houses don't burn down zombies aren't attacking our families on the way to school everything that's the basic quality of life you're failing at but what you're good at is just yelling on social media and that was back to why i ran because i didn't want to be one of these just they're just yappers it is yeah you don't do anything yeah well it's uh it's refreshing it's refreshing seeing something but i think this is how it has to be done.

1:42:38I think it has to be someone from the outside. All these people that have a career in politics, they know what feathers they can't ruffle. They know that if you want to make it, you have to be aligned with whatever the party's doing. And if you go against them, you get in trouble. And everyone knows this. So they all just sort of stay the course and hope that their time comes, hope that they'll look the right way and say the right things and somehow or another it'll allow them to elevate their career and become a mayor somewhere or become a governor somewhere well if you look smart people will come up to me and they'll be like you're doing what the founders of america wanted real people part of the communities getting into politics not this job where i'm going to do this for 30 it was supposed to be your neighbor you're somebody who understood what everyone was going through Exactly.

1:43:32And I feel that. And again, I'm going in there to stop these people. I don't have a new utopia of what L.A. should be. I want L.A. back. I want the L.A. I grew up in. I want my two sons to be able to, once we win all our lawsuits against Gavin Newsom and his state park, to rebuild in the Palisades and grow up in the city of L.A. that I grew up in, that you could dream. Have you thought about a timeline of how all these ideas that you have, like how long it'll take to actually implement them? Once you start enforcing the law, things are going to move quick. It's as simple as, OK, I'm mayor of L.A.

1:44:12I got my new deputy mayors. We have my new police commissions. We're going around and we're just arresting people. And the people that aren't getting arrested, we're getting to mandatory medical treatment. And we're just going to start clearing the streets, clearing the encampments. And then from that, it just everything's going to come to first off. Imagine the communities like how pumped people are going to be in these neighborhoods when I come in. And I'm like, this is done. What is this other person, this Democratic Socialist lady? What is her solution to all these problems? Crime, homelessness, all these things.

1:44:49What is she saying? Is she admitting that there are issues? and does she have a solution that she's proposing? She just posted it yesterday. I didn't read it. Somebody just tagged it. It was so funny. One of the quotes was, we're going to have a street medical team. A street medical team? We already have that. It's called the LAFD and they're spending 80 % of their calls responding to these overdoses and we're also paying for that. No, because they're so deep in it, they can't say mandatory treatment because these people have rights to die on the sidewalk. They have rights to attack. So we need more housing.

1:45:25This isn't, these beds aren't working. We need to get more beds. So yes, she needs more affordable beds, more. It's not working as she's running it. As she's running it. Yeah. So she just wants to keep business as usual, just with more funds. No, she wasn't even running until three hours before the last where you have to fill it out. But when everyone saw I was going to win and be the mayor, they so the real conspiracy is is my conspiracy i don't know if it's real that karen bass and they are working together just to block me to make sure because it's a jungle runoff so june 2nd the top two numbers go to november i was one billion percent going to november until one hour before she just pops up after she already endorsed mayor bass they were doing photo ops together a week before they're close mayor bass endorsed this nithia lady they're like a team so two hours before that last minute where you have to sign to where they announce the final candidates she's had a year to run for mayor or plus you could have announced it's just to block me from going to november but what they don't understand is people that will vote for me would never vote for her or karen bass they're actually picking off their own stats if anything what they're doing is making me the mayor on June 2nd, because if you have 51 percent of the vote, I just become the mayor on June 2nd.

1:46:49And I think they're in for a big surprise. And they're underestimating how angry everybody is in the city of L.A. And I think I become mayor June 2nd and it won't even go to November. I think they really are underestimating how angry everybody is, because there's people that I talk to that used to be just hardcore Democrats, hardcore leftist progressives that are really saying like in hushed tones we really need a Republican we really need like some no nonsense Rudy Giuliani person I hate to say that I hate to say it but that's what we need we need someone who's going to be really tough on crime and clean everything up and stop all these people from having tents on the street there's so many people like that that are just quiet about it they don't want to talk about it openly and publicly because they're afraid of being shamed I grew up in Palisades.

1:47:37I went to Crossroads High School. I don't think I've ever met a Republican. No, I mean, for real, like all the people I know, all my family and friends, everybody I know is a Democrat. And all the people that are supporting me, all the people I talk to, they're Democrats. This is not the Democrat Party that's running L.A. The other day I posted the commandment list of, I think it was 1996, Bill Clinton's Democratic Party. It looks like what I would say right now. Yeah. That's the devil. No, this is socialism. This is communist. This is cartel. This is mafia. This is not Democrats. Love me. They, they want all the same things.

1:48:17They want to feel safe. It's really amazing how they can hide it, but just pretend to be compassionate. They can hide all this money that they're just siphoning off because it really is just organized crime. Well, they say to people, there's nothing we can do. that's that's that's right people will be my comments section be like there's nothing you can do it's like they are so good at just keeping this these people have rights first off it is illegal just this is below people's mind it's illegal to live on the sidewalk right it's it's a that's a democrat law all the laws i want to enforce are democrat laws i am the democrat law enforcer mayor i should be every day it's i'm actually excited because i i finally feel like there's like hope because when your house burns down and your mom's crying because her house burned out every single day everyone you know's house burnout you go through a dark just all my tax money like i should be a millionaire you know because i got some big checks people always say oh he burned all of his money they don't understand living in la in the entertainment business with the manager, an agent, a business manager, your taxes in LA, your state taxes.

1:49:31It's very hard to keep all that money. So they're like, oh, he burned the, no, I, regardless, the amount of money I put in to the city of LA and the state, my house should still be here. So it's very sad moment. And then it, then you start uncovering, oh no, this is almost strategic. This is this, you know, a lot of people reached out after with the line and they're like, oh, they line at you. This is a land grab and i was like no no and then you start going down you're like i'm not even arguing with these people anymore because of how the writing was so on the wall it's so on the wall the entire insurance industry dropped everyone in the palisades leading up to the fire it was that flagrant there was 70 year old people 70 year old plus i talked to 80 year olds that got dropped by their insurance january 1st been paying 40 plus years didn't even get to re-up lost everything no insurance.

1:50:23If all the insurance companies are dropping an area, it's very clear that they know what's about to happen. So your city leaders, your mayor, everybody, your state, they should be getting ready or saying, oh, wow, everyone's dropping this. What can we do? Oh, we need to clear the dead brush. We need to make the water in the reservoirs there. Just obvious things. So I don't even argue with the land grab things because here's a crazy thing that I never did the math for this this hurts so your house burns down you lost everything now you got to buy stuff over again now you're paying the city sales tax so the people who just let your house burn down now you're giving them tax to rebuy underwear rebuy shoes rebuy so they're making money now off of your house burning down not to mention you got to start buying things to actually maybe if you're lucky, only 14 people in 15 months have built a house.

1:51:18It's only 14 people have built a new house? Let's max out at 16 just to be like, oh, no, it's 16. He's misinformation. Less than 20. Yeah, less than 20 and 15 plus. Which is crazy. And how many houses burnt down? 7 ,000. Wow. So, now you got the sales tax. God, that's so crazy. That's such a crazy number. 7 ,000 houses is so crazy. What's even crazier is most of these houses burned down on january 8th when now there's no wind and they just didn't figure out let's drive water in from all again when you're on lahaina you're on an island i'll start arguing oh it's hard to get resources when everything's burning down on january 7th and you already realize you effed up and now you're hearing the fire department saying all the fire hydrants are empty there's no water it's red alert get enough water tankers from the whole state every city drive-in water.

1:52:12I have videos from January 8th of moms walking in front of my son's elementary school. It's totally there. My son's preschool, 12 o 'clock, totally there. By the afternoon, all this is gone. Because they didn't bring water in. It's crazy. So back to the land grab thing. So for instance, all these properties that burn down, like I said, it's years of passed down family properties. So when you pass that, you pay that old tax rate now these 7 000 dirt lots in the next couple years guess what the new tax rate is they're gonna have when somebody buys that they're now paying 2027 2028 pacific palisades tax rates not 1970 you know your grandfather's tax rate because you know you still lived in the house so there's like a hundred plus billion they're gonna make just in taxes so the idea that oh why would they ever let that happen you start thinking oh well they don't care because not only do they make a lot of money they can rebuild it they can try to put you know affordable housing and do this these complex it just gets it gets fishy you know it does get weird like you don't want to accuse people of land grabs but at the very least they're capitalizing on a tragedy well you know the number one buyer right now of palisades dirt lots china no way yeah really yeah well they do it through new zealand or it's a new zealand business owned by the chinese so you know it's it's all movie stuff i keep saying to people watch the movie chinatown i watch it once a week just to like stay locked in you know but it's it's exciting because i feel this window of change where the stars are aligning where an outsider comes in and just blows up their whole spot not the way the deputy mayor calls him bomb threats but energetically and so it gives me hope and then again if it goes if it's not god's plan my wife is very on the you know prayer warrior bible jesus so you know i check in with her and i go what's jesus saying honey and uh you know i talk but i I think she has a better path.

1:54:28And her thing is, if it's God's will, it's going to go down. And if not, then I'll probably end up with some of my former Palisadians that moved to Bentonville, Arkansas. And it is what it is. Well, there could be no doubt that Los Angeles needs a radical shift. They need a radical change. And it sounds like that's exactly what you're proposing. Big time. And it's exciting, you know, because most people are scared. They have fear of this system. their fear of being attacked the i get why a normal person that's just has a good heart the smart doesn't want to go into politics they will you have the la times writing hit pieces they got machines to keep the system you got the comment sections you got people making videos they're trying to expose bots you feel that but thankfully i have experience from being hated in television for many years that, you know, now the flip is I have so much love energy.

1:55:26I was able to maintain with negativity for so many years and just stay in the game because it was business as usual. And I knew they wanted a villain on all these shows. I will, you know, shout out David Foster to put me on this path many years ago. He said, you got to be like Simon Cowell. And I leaned into that and it worked for many years. But the point is being hated for so many years, now having so much love, obviously I'd much rather be loved. Anybody that wants to be loved is a lot more fun. For sure. For sure. Listen, man, I'm voting for you. I can't vote for you, but I'm rooting for you.

1:56:02I mean, if I lived in Los Angeles, no question whatsoever, I would vote for you. You have time to get one of these affordable beds. I can probably connect you with one of these beds. I don't think that's legal. I think I'm a Texas resident. Okay. Yeah, I'm a Texas resident. Take that back. I think I can only vote. Well, did you see what they're doing right now with the cigarettes and the ballots in LA? Have you seen this? What? They caught all these people signing ballots, trading the zombies for cigarettes. Oh, I did see that. I did see that. So I need the DOJ, if you're watching the feds. Investigate that.

1:56:34No, we need, come to LA for my election. We need to make sure we get a real election. I can't believe we didn't do an hour on jujitsu, though. That really is gross, what they're doing with giving people cigarettes to sign up for things. Do you know how many people are like in the jujitsu game if you don't shout me out like I need to just like end with like a list of people? No, no, I'm just kidding. But guys, we didn't talk jujitsu. So I talk jujitsu so much. I know, I know. Here's the other thing like flavored nicotine is illegal in Los Angeles. Just think about how many people are camped out on the streets.

1:57:08How many people are in tents, open fentanyl use. You can't buy flavored zins. Well, even the cleanest ones that like my health biohacker friends allegedly may or may not access it. You can't have those. Like fitness people can't even. Like athletic. Peptides are technically, you know. Yeah. Well, they're working on that nationwide and hopefully that'll get passed soon. But there's so many regulations in California that make fucking no sense. Like no sense, particularly in Los Angeles. They make no sense. And it's just they just want to keep you like a child. and they are the people that are supposed to be the overseers of everybody and they're looking out for you.

1:57:48And it's gross. And it's just business as usual. They want to keep moving in a direction of more regulation, more rules, less rights, more restrictions. One last thing that's speaking is this is so crazy. Do you know right now in L.A., if you're just a mom and pop landlord, they always like to say landlords are like cruel at DeVille level. Right, right, right. Just like a mom and pop. maybe you own one apartment building with units. If you have like a drug addict, crazy person living in there, most of them now also with their Section 8 scammer and Range Rovers have two cars. If you want to get them out, they can go a whole year with not paying these landlords.

1:58:29And then they have to pay 100 grand in legal fees to try to get them out. So then they settle with this criminal that's just abusing this loophole in this system. They'll give them 50, 40K to just leave. that person's not put on any list and then they go do it to another apartment building. So a lot of these apartment buildings, they don't even want to rent out to people because they can't afford to then have one of these people. So again, with this housing and then ready for this, the city council, if it was not 170 million, it's 200 million, just gave 170 million to the lawyers that sue the tenants for these people.

1:59:05But there's no fun for the tenants to then defend themselves. Jesus Christ. it's so crazy. So, again, it's about these people coming around me that are living this nightmare and be like, how do I help you stop these things? And putting these people that know the game because they're living it. And undo it. We've got to stop this. Well, I'm glad we could help you get your message out. And I really, really hope it helps. And I really, really hope you win. It'll be fun. It'll be fun to watch you shake it up and boy if you could really change Los Angeles and turn it around I mean I mean that would be absolutely fantastic it would be a great story it would be really amazing and it would give hope to a lot of other cities that are experiencing similar situations where I think a lot of other people would follow your path I'm doing it all right vote for mayor Pratt Go for Mayor Pratt.

2:00:06Thank you so much. Appreciate it. All right. Bye, everybody.
