- 0:00Speaker 1: All right.
- 0:00Speaker 2: Like I always say, I pay attention to California, one
- 0:03Speaker 2: of our great states and has turned to complete garbage.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Like New York. There's no difference at this point. Los
- 0:09Speaker 2: Angeles is like New York City, and I love that state.
- 0:13Speaker 2: I talked for many, many years my beautiful wife Danielle.
- 0:15Speaker 2: We'd retire one day to Carmel. She ran Big Sirt twice,
- 0:19Speaker 2: that great marathon, and I still love this state. San
- 0:22Speaker 2: Francisco used to be gorgeous. San Diego is lovely, and
- 0:25Speaker 2: La Joya, but it's boring as can be. So the state,
- 0:28Speaker 2: they got their issues. They got a horrible governor and
- 0:30Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom and a horrible mayor in Karen Bass.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Like us, we've got Hockel and Mom Donnie.
- 0:36Speaker 3: So.
- 0:36Speaker 2: I got this girl crew I tell you about all
- 0:38Speaker 2: the time. They're on the show all the time, Siggy
- 0:40Speaker 2: Flicker down in Boca Ratone.
- 0:42Speaker 1: There's a bunch of them, but.
- 0:43Speaker 2: The two big stars are Siggy and my dear friend
- 0:46Speaker 2: Stella Escabato out in California. She was on OW Way
- 0:51Speaker 2: and for a while. Now she's doing her own thing
- 0:53Speaker 2: and she's doing great. I'm very proud of her. A
- 0:55Speaker 2: show is terrific and she is out in California right now.
- 0:59Speaker 2: I'm gonna fill us in on what is a huge day,
- 1:02Speaker 2: a huge day coming up this Tuesday.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Stella Escabato, Hello, sweetheart, Hi sid.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Thank you for having me. By the way, anyone can
- 1:10Speaker 3: watch my show on YouTube Stella News. And I actually
- 1:13Speaker 3: just had Steve Hilton on my show. And it's a
- 1:16Speaker 3: big day June. Second, it's a primary in California, but
- 1:19Speaker 3: it's a jungle primary, so for people who don't know
- 1:21Speaker 3: what that means, it means the top two in for
- 1:25Speaker 3: like the mayoral race, and you were talking about governor's
- 1:29Speaker 3: race go to the November election, So it could be
- 1:33Speaker 3: for you know, governor, it could be two Republicans. You
- 1:36Speaker 3: got Steve Hilton, you have shared Chad Bianco, and then
- 1:39Speaker 3: you have Spencer Pratt in LA who's running against incumbent
- 1:43Speaker 3: Karen Bass DSA Nisia Rahman. So it's a big day.
- 1:46Speaker 3: But also said, we've already we've already had early voting
- 1:49Speaker 3: going on and it's looking really good for Spencer Pratt.
- 1:54Speaker 3: I mean, but the thing is with Spencer Pratt, it's
- 1:56Speaker 3: a nonpartisan race, so he's not running as a Republican
- 2:00Speaker 3: not running as a Democrat. I mean, they know where
- 2:01Speaker 3: he stands politically, but you have independence voting for him.
- 2:05Speaker 3: You have Democrats literally a Democrats for Spencer Pratt. It's
- 2:09Speaker 3: all over social media. People have had enough. You think
- 2:13Speaker 3: New York is bad, said, I think LA is worse.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Now, why do you say that. I've not been out
- 2:18Speaker 2: in Los Angeles for a couple of years. I filmed
- 2:20Speaker 2: the movies with my friend Danny Ay, and I stayed
- 2:21Speaker 2: in Beverly Hills. I know the studios run LA, but
- 2:24Speaker 2: I haven't been there for a couple of years. To
- 2:26Speaker 2: be honest, you've been in both places. You were in
- 2:28Speaker 2: New York not that long ago. Why do you think
- 2:30Speaker 2: LA is worse?
- 2:31Speaker 3: By the way, Danny's great, La, I feel is worse
- 2:35Speaker 3: because the homelessness has gotten out of control. You can't
- 2:39Speaker 3: ignore it. I grew up in the valley. Anybody who
- 2:41Speaker 3: knows La, Sherman Oaks, and Sino it was immune to homelessness.
- 2:46Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, you had skid row back in the day.
- 2:49Speaker 3: It was like a row. By the way, it's now
- 2:50Speaker 3: fifty blocks. I just drove down it and now it's everywhere.
- 2:54Speaker 3: It's in the valley, like you want to take your
- 2:56Speaker 3: child to a McDonald's right around the corner from your house.
- 2:59Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, my sister just recorded it. Well,
- 3:01Speaker 3: you know there's a homeless tent right there, and you're
- 3:03Speaker 3: afraid to even walk your child there because you know
- 3:06Speaker 3: they're squatting and pooping all over the place. That's how
- 3:09Speaker 3: bad it is. And by the way, the home down
- 3:11Speaker 3: the street is worth five million dollars and the police
- 3:13Speaker 3: can't do anything about it because their hands are tied.
- 3:16Speaker 3: That's how bad it is. And it's become normalized, the
- 3:19Speaker 3: climbs become normalized. I mean, my aunt just a couple
- 3:22Speaker 3: of years ago, was living in Encino, which is a
- 3:25Speaker 3: beautiful neighborhood, pulls up to her house, gets held at gunpoint.
- 3:29Speaker 3: They throw her in the house. Okay, they tie her up.
- 3:33Speaker 3: It's a real story. Okay, tie her up, her and
- 3:35Speaker 3: my uncle and they were able to get away because
- 3:39Speaker 3: their neighbor drove in and for some reason, these guys
- 3:42Speaker 3: thought the police showed up. Okay, this is like a
- 3:45Speaker 3: five or six million dollar home. This is what's happening
- 3:48Speaker 3: in la And Spencer Pratt is coming out and saying
- 3:50Speaker 3: no more, not under our watch. And like you said,
- 3:54Speaker 3: you want to retire in LA one day or California?
- 3:56Speaker 3: How do you want to retire here if it's not safe?
- 3:59Speaker 2: No, there's no And that's the big issue. Still a
- 4:01Speaker 2: escabato on with me this morning. Big day coming up Tuesday,
- 4:04Speaker 2: Primary day, both those big races. Mayor I'm endorsing Spencer
- 4:07Speaker 2: Pratt have for a while, Governor Steve Hilton, that's my guy,
- 4:11Speaker 2: has been for a while. It's not safe. When I
- 4:13Speaker 2: saw some of the highlights from the debates, which I
- 4:16Speaker 2: enjoyed a bunch of those, and Spencer Pratt is talking about, Okay,
- 4:19Speaker 2: no more needle use on the streets like that's a
- 4:21Speaker 2: big deal. You would think everybody would want that, even
- 4:24Speaker 2: Karen Bess, right, even Karen Bess in order that as well.
- 4:27Speaker 2: But all of the crime issues, all of the homeless issues,
- 4:32Speaker 2: all of the drug and filth issues, all the corruption issues,
- 4:37Speaker 2: really just about everything that destroys a city, whether it's
- 4:40Speaker 2: Los Angeles or New York. It seems like this one
- 4:44Speaker 2: time actor, Spencer Pratt is on the right side and
- 4:48Speaker 2: the other two ladies seem to have a difficult time
- 4:52Speaker 2: finding their footing.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'll tell you something. You know, growing up
- 4:55Speaker 3: in La. You know, back in the day, my parents
- 4:58Speaker 3: used to let us go to the park, go have fun. Okay,
- 5:02Speaker 3: I would never now allow my children to go to
- 5:06Speaker 3: a park. You don't know what's there. You've got homeless people,
- 5:09Speaker 3: you've got druggies. And Spencer Pratt is basically saying the obvious,
- 5:13Speaker 3: like don't believe you're lying. Eyes like we see it.
- 5:17Speaker 3: And that's why he is resonating with so many Angelinos
- 5:20Speaker 3: who are saying, you're right, I don't feel safe. And
- 5:23Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, his campaign that he's running
- 5:26Speaker 3: is make La safe for moms and our children. I mean,
- 5:30Speaker 3: it's really pretty basic. And then you have Steve Hilton,
- 5:33Speaker 3: who I just interviewed. You know, we haven't had a
- 5:35Speaker 3: Republican governor since two thousand and six, okay, and even
- 5:40Speaker 3: you know, the moderate voices. I asked him, I said, well,
- 5:42Speaker 3: what are you going to do? How are you going
- 5:43Speaker 3: to get you know, bring the moderate voices over to
- 5:45Speaker 3: vote for you, And the same thing. It's logic, it's
- 5:49Speaker 3: common sense. Now people have had enough. In California is
- 5:52Speaker 3: a beautiful state. You've got the ocean, you've got the mountains,
- 5:55Speaker 3: you've got everything, and it's so expensive to live here.
- 5:58Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people have said like
- 6:00Speaker 3: enough is enough. Although the other side, as you know
- 6:03Speaker 3: they always do, did they want to use Trump against
- 6:07Speaker 3: like TDS. Okay, their TDS is so bad. But I
- 6:10Speaker 3: say Trump didn't create the problem that's been happening in
- 6:13Speaker 3: California for the last twenty years. As a matter of fact,
- 6:15Speaker 3: he wasn't even in politics.
- 6:17Speaker 2: No, Listen, everybody runs against Trump. Mamdannie ran against Trump
- 6:21Speaker 2: and he had Eric Adams out of the race early
- 6:23Speaker 2: and beat Cuomo and Clawberd Curtis Hulkl ran against Trump.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Everybody here runs against Trump. California, the whole country does
- 6:31Speaker 2: the same thing. Now, what we've been noticing, I know
- 6:33Speaker 2: you have, is that at least in these GOP primaries,
- 6:36Speaker 2: Trump wins every time. I mean Indiana, he had five
- 6:39Speaker 2: of those legislators win because he backed them. He ended
- 6:43Speaker 2: the career of Bill Cassidy and Louisiana. He ended the
- 6:46Speaker 2: career of Thomas Massey in Kentucky, and most recently, his
- 6:50Speaker 2: guy Ken Paxton beat the incumbent, which is really tough
- 6:53Speaker 2: to do, and beat him nearly two to one. So
- 6:56Speaker 2: these days if Donald Trump endorses you, especially in these
- 7:00Speaker 2: GOP primaries, you're an automatic winner. And the good news for
- 7:03Speaker 2: Steve Hilton is he has gotten more than one enthusiastic
- 7:07Speaker 2: endorsement from President Trump.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, And Steve Hilton is ready to make California
- 7:12Speaker 3: great again, and Californian's are ready to allow somebody to
- 7:15Speaker 3: make California great again. I have to tell you, you know,
- 7:18Speaker 3: there's always no speculation that Governor Gavin Newsom might even
- 7:21Speaker 3: run for president. I think their biggest fear right now
- 7:24Speaker 3: is that we do get a Republican governor in the
- 7:27Speaker 3: state of California to expose the corruption because a lot
- 7:29Speaker 3: of people who don't live in California, you don't understand
- 7:31Speaker 3: what's been happening the homeless Industrial complext Billions of dollars
- 7:35Speaker 3: poured into the homelessness and it's only gotten worse. So
- 7:38Speaker 3: if we have a Republican governor in our state, we
- 7:40Speaker 3: can expose what's happened under Gavin Newsom, who will then
- 7:44Speaker 3: go on to want to try to be president. So
- 7:46Speaker 3: I think that's important for the entire nation to watch
- 7:48Speaker 3: this race.
- 7:49Speaker 2: No, I think he will try, or he did say
- 7:51Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, he's not going to Trump
- 7:53Speaker 2: called them stupid, They called themself stupid. He actually called
- 7:56Speaker 2: themself stupid. But you got two people living in the
- 7:58Speaker 2: state of California night which get cheered at local basketball games,
- 8:03Speaker 2: who may be running for president. One tried it once,
- 8:05Speaker 2: didn't work out so well, Kamala Harris. The other is
- 8:08Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. I don't think either one of them has
- 8:10Speaker 2: a legitimate chance. I really don't. But what do you think,
- 8:13Speaker 2: honestly with when it comes to Spen Spencer Praud, I
- 8:16Speaker 2: should say, and Steve Hilton. I know Pratt is getting
- 8:19Speaker 2: all the momentum. He's everybody's talking about Spencer. He's winning
- 8:22Speaker 2: the polls. Like you said, he seems to be garnering
- 8:24Speaker 2: votes from people who are not Republican. Hilton a little closer,
- 8:28Speaker 2: I guess, but he seems to be doing very well too.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Do you expect that both of those guys will make
- 8:33Speaker 2: the final two come Tuesday?
- 8:36Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so. And you know, I have to
- 8:38Speaker 3: tell you in the elections. When President Trump had the
- 8:42Speaker 3: recent election, he won like six million votes in the
- 8:46Speaker 3: state of California. So I think, what's going to get
- 8:49Speaker 3: people to come out and vote in the state of
- 8:50Speaker 3: California for a Republican Also is they are on the ballot,
- 8:55Speaker 3: is you know, to save our election election integrity, So
- 8:58Speaker 3: that will bring a lot more people out to vote.
- 9:01Speaker 3: And Spencer Pratt for sure. The only thing that he
- 9:03Speaker 3: that's holding Spencer Pratt back right now are celebrities. You
- 9:07Speaker 3: have Lisa Rinna who's coming out and talking about like,
- 9:10Speaker 3: oh my goodness, I don't want Spencer Pratt.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Right now, Wenna that big liptop's Marta Howry Hamlin.
- 9:17Speaker 3: I don't know. But here's the part of it. These
- 9:19Speaker 3: people live in Beverly Hills. Sorry to break it to you, guys,
- 9:22Speaker 3: in Beverly Hills, you don't get to vote for the
- 9:24Speaker 3: mayor of LA. They have their own mayor. You have
- 9:27Speaker 3: all these they have all You have all these celebrities
- 9:29Speaker 3: who live in their gated communities, who have security guards,
- 9:32Speaker 3: who are out there in the media talking about we
- 9:34Speaker 3: don't want to Spencer Pratt because we don't want to
- 9:36Speaker 3: know the realities start because we you know what we
- 9:38Speaker 3: saw with Trump, what's going on. It's like, sit down,
- 9:41Speaker 3: let the Angelinos take this one. Okay. The ones who
- 9:43Speaker 3: don't live behind gated communities, the ones who have to
- 9:46Speaker 3: walk over poop, the ones that have to see zombies
- 9:48Speaker 3: all over their neighborhood. Sit this one out terrible.
- 9:51Speaker 2: I guess the Lance Republican governor you said two thousand
- 9:54Speaker 2: and six, I was.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Honold, right, No, they're Schwarzenegger.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Yeah, Schwartzenegger Arnold.
- 9:59Speaker 3: Oh yeah, sorry, I got you. Yes, he was.
- 10:03Speaker 1: The last one. He wasn't really even a REBUBBLI.
- 10:04Speaker 3: He was closing what I'm saying. Yeah, So it's like
- 10:07Speaker 3: it's been twenty.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Years right right, Hilton would be a great fit for
- 10:12Speaker 1: your state.
