0:02
Speaker 1: What a little lakes start in the live stream today.
0:04
Speaker 1: But that's because I have so much to bring you
0:07
Speaker 1: this morning in real time. If you're watching a listening later,
0:09
Speaker 1: that's okay, it doesn't matter to you. You do it
0:11
Speaker 1: on your own time. I did not plan to talk
0:14
Speaker 1: about Spencer Pratt and Los Angeles and the mayoral race
0:17
Speaker 1: and what's happening out there as much as I did,
0:19
Speaker 1: I'd mentioned him. You know, we'll go back in time.
0:21
Speaker 1: We'll talk about his investigation into fire Aid and the
0:24
Speaker 1: fraud that happened there and the LA fires. We all
0:26
Speaker 1: know about Malibu and Pacific Palisades and all that other stuff.
0:30
Speaker 1: Now it matters. I was gonna just we talked a
0:32
Speaker 1: little bit about the debate, and I've got that in
0:34
Speaker 1: this one too. Now it matters to all of us,
0:38
Speaker 1: believe it or not. I don't live in LA. You
0:40
Speaker 1: most likely to, I think maybe a couple of you do,
0:42
Speaker 1: but maybe a travel LA. Maybe you have some family
0:45
Speaker 1: members that are there. Now it matters to all of us,
0:49
Speaker 1: believe it or not, because the whole game has changed
0:52
Speaker 1: in so many different ways. Because now they're going after
0:55
Speaker 1: him with everything they have, because he's exposing all of it.
0:58
Speaker 1: This is why it matters to all of us. You know,
1:00
Speaker 1: every once in a while, I'll say, it's like a
1:02
Speaker 1: lot of us will say, I don't live in New
1:03
Speaker 1: York's let them listen. They voted for this crap. Let
1:08
Speaker 1: them suffer. And I get that. But there are some cities.
1:11
Speaker 1: Let's be adults here and understand something. There are some
1:14
Speaker 1: cities that affect all of us. No matter where you live.
1:16
Speaker 1: New York, LA, Chicago, even DC that swamp. What happens
1:21
Speaker 1: in those cities does affect us, whether we want to
1:23
Speaker 1: admit it or not. What's going on in La literally
1:27
Speaker 1: pun intended from the ashes, it's unbelievable. We'll get to it.
1:32
Speaker 1: We're gonna take this through the entire timeline, because, like
1:35
Speaker 1: I said, now, it's all different. Extra find a Wicked radio,
1:37
Speaker 1: live stream, replay x YouTube, Facebook, wherever you like you
1:40
Speaker 1: get your audio. Let's get right to it. Because they
1:41
Speaker 1: started so late today, we have to go back in
1:43
Speaker 1: time to tell this entire story. I remember talking about
1:47
Speaker 1: this at the time. Obviously, the LA fires, the Malibu
1:49
Speaker 1: fire terrible, absolutely horrendous. What's happened there since? Or I
1:54
Speaker 1: guess maybe I should say what hasn't happened there since
1:58
Speaker 1: is really the story though, because the people, namely Spencer Pratt,
2:02
Speaker 1: who looked at this and he said, this is just
2:04
Speaker 1: their response is just absolutely awful. And it became very
2:07
Speaker 1: very clear, very very soon after that that Los Angelino's
2:11
Speaker 1: even fire experts, people who looked at this entire thing,
2:14
Speaker 1: they looked at their reasoning behind what happened there, and
2:16
Speaker 1: they said, this wasn't climate change like they told us
2:20
Speaker 1: it was. This was complete ineptitude, fraud, corruption, lack of
2:27
Speaker 1: fire management, all of this stuff that led to this.
2:31
Speaker 1: That's what led to it. They didn't clear the underbrush,
2:33
Speaker 1: the reservoirs were completely empty, the LA Fire Department was
2:39
Speaker 1: totally understaffed. And then the response after that, or lack thereof,
2:43
Speaker 1: where nobody got any help or if they got any
2:45
Speaker 1: help whatsoever. It was delayed and insulting, and they kept
2:50
Speaker 1: telling people that they were going to get some help
2:52
Speaker 1: and nothing happened. So that's what activated I remember talking
2:55
Speaker 1: about it at the time. That's what happened with Spencer Pratt.
2:57
Speaker 1: And then, of course, which we always try to do,
3:00
Speaker 1: there's always some big charitable event. Right going back to
3:04
Speaker 1: the Live aid days, you know in the concerts they're
3:07
Speaker 1: supposed to raise money and people give their hard earned
3:10
Speaker 1: dollars towards these these big benefits. Well, there was fire Aid.
3:14
Speaker 1: I remember talking about fire Aid at the time. All
3:16
Speaker 1: the big bands came out. They had a big thing
3:18
Speaker 1: was one to eight hundred numbers. I think three major
3:20
Speaker 1: networks covered all that stuff, right, because we all wanted
3:22
Speaker 1: to give. We all wanted to help out those people
3:24
Speaker 1: that lost their homes. Can you imagine? And then nobody
3:29
Speaker 1: got any money, and they everybody started to notice. One
3:32
Speaker 1: guy that noticed was the character main character in our
3:36
Speaker 1: story today, Spencer Pratt. So he did an investigation and
3:40
Speaker 1: he used this platform and this is how we got
3:41
Speaker 1: into this whole thing to start asking about where's this
3:43
Speaker 1: money for this fire aid? Tens of millions of dollars
3:47
Speaker 1: were raped. Did anybody He started talking to his neighbors,
3:50
Speaker 1: people in the community, other celebrities. Did anybody get any money?
3:56
Speaker 1: And then he launched an investigation and then he took
3:58
Speaker 1: it to the irs. Then he took it to the FBI.
4:00
Speaker 1: This is from January of last year with an update
4:03
Speaker 1: on where the fire aid money went. Why am I
4:06
Speaker 1: talking about this event because this led to the entire
4:08
Speaker 1: mayoral campaign, which may have changed politics in America forever.
4:13
Speaker 1: We got some breaking news.
4:14
Speaker 2: Look what's dropping today? I have the advanced copy of
4:18
Speaker 2: the House Judiciary Committee's report on fire Aid, and the
4:23
Speaker 2: report proves what we've known all along. Fire Aid raised
4:28
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars under false pretense that it was
4:32
Speaker 2: directly helping fire victims and then misuse those charitable donations
4:37
Speaker 2: to fund political activists, podcasters, and bloated nonprofits salaries and bonuses.
4:44
Speaker 1: What is he talking about? What we've all learned about
4:46
Speaker 1: since the Doge team got involved with investigating fraud. Nngo's
4:50
Speaker 1: non government organizations that swoop in, scoop up all the
4:53
Speaker 1: money of the top and a charitable organizations, nobody gets anything.
4:57
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened with fire Aid, a total incomplete scam.
5:00
Speaker 1: So that's what got him activated. And he was so
5:02
Speaker 1: successful in that in exposing people. Very influential people started
5:05
Speaker 1: to say, you know, you've got a platform, now you
5:09
Speaker 1: understand the fraud that's been happening in our community forever.
5:11
Speaker 1: Why don't you run from there? And even he says
5:14
Speaker 1: he laughed it off at first, and he said, wait
5:15
Speaker 1: a second, my home burned down. Why can't I Why
5:18
Speaker 1: can't I do this at least expose all of this
5:20
Speaker 1: stuff and what happened to what led to this and
5:22
Speaker 1: try to get some change. And that's how he got involved. Now,
5:26
Speaker 1: let's be honest, did you, or me or anybody else
5:30
Speaker 1: ever expect Spencer Pratt, a reality TV star from the Beat,
5:35
Speaker 1: to be somebody that was going to make this kind
5:37
Speaker 1: of change in how people actually run in politics. Everybody
5:40
Speaker 1: expect that this big change would come from La all
5:42
Speaker 1: of all places. If you had that in your bingo card,
5:45
Speaker 1: you're like better than nostrodamus. Nobody expected this, not me, you,
5:48
Speaker 1: not anybody else, but he did. And then then it
5:52
Speaker 1: really picked up, started to put together some of the
5:54
Speaker 1: most amazing political ads anybody's ever seen, using AI some
5:59
Speaker 1: of them. But getting right to the point, little example
6:01
Speaker 1: of that before we get to what developed you have
6:03
Speaker 1: to do. This is where mayor Vass lives.
6:05
Speaker 2: You notice something or here where Nikkia Ramin's three million
6:08
Speaker 2: dollar mansion sits. They don't have to.
6:10
Speaker 1: Live in the mess they've created.
6:12
Speaker 2: Where you live. This is where I live. They let
6:17
Speaker 2: my home burn down. I know what the consequences of
6:20
Speaker 2: failed leadership are. That's why I'm running for mayor for
6:23
Speaker 2: my sons and the rest of US Angelinos that want
6:26
Speaker 2: have stopped these corrupt politicians from destroying our city. We
6:30
Speaker 2: are gonna get the Golden age of Los Angeles back.
6:33
Speaker 1: That's powerful. Like, that's powerful. Yeah, they use real life stuff.
6:36
Speaker 1: They use some, but it's true. And this is the
6:39
Speaker 1: We'll get to the point of all of the controversy
6:41
Speaker 1: about that airstream he showed there. This is what they
6:43
Speaker 1: gave me. This is my house. That's what he said,
6:45
Speaker 1: hold on to bed for a second. Then he had
6:47
Speaker 1: another campaign, another political ad. This is where they use
6:49
Speaker 1: some AI actress. But still getting to the point. This
6:52
Speaker 1: I've never people who follow politics and people who work
6:55
Speaker 1: in campaigns and messaging and PR crisis teams and all
6:58
Speaker 1: this stuff. They're looking at this saying it's different. The
7:01
Speaker 1: entire game has changed in how you run a campaign
7:04
Speaker 1: or how you get any messaging out. This is why
7:06
Speaker 1: I'm saying this. This guy has completely changed how we
7:10
Speaker 1: look at things. Here's another ad, one of the most
7:12
Speaker 1: effective one.
7:12
Speaker 3: What does dangerous Spencer Pratt have in mind for Los Angeles?
7:17
Speaker 1: I make a living giving drug needles to unhoused individuals,
7:21
Speaker 1: and Spencer wants to put me out of the job.
7:23
Speaker 2: Spencer wants to force me to get treatment and turn
7:25
Speaker 2: my life around instead of dying on the streets.
7:28
Speaker 1: What kind of bully forces people to do things?
7:31
Speaker 3: As a busy mom running away from the crazy drug
7:33
Speaker 3: addicts in our part is the only exercise I get.
7:36
Speaker 2: Spencer wants to get rid of them?
7:37
Speaker 1: Does he want me to be fat? A book with Spencer?
7:41
Speaker 1: Ever seen anything like that? But the amazing there's a
7:44
Speaker 1: good use of AI right there. Absolutely, And of course
7:47
Speaker 1: they're attacking him on that. Oh those are AI generated,
7:49
Speaker 1: Those aren't real people. Yeah, no, surelock of course they are.
7:53
Speaker 1: But they get the message across. So now that starts
7:57
Speaker 1: to game momentum. And then all of a sudden people
7:58
Speaker 1: start talking about them and then all of us, and
8:00
Speaker 1: it's not such a joke anymore. They're not laughing at
8:02
Speaker 1: him as much yet, but still laughing at him. So
8:05
Speaker 1: the local television stations, this is no small market. This
8:08
Speaker 1: is Los Angeles number two media market we're talking about here.
8:11
Speaker 1: They start to actually give him some airtime, in some
8:13
Speaker 1: interview time. This is where everything really picked up and
8:16
Speaker 1: what he says in this interview, what do.
8:17
Speaker 4: You think You know, you're known as a reality TV star.
8:21
Speaker 4: Do you think that that is in your campaign for
8:24
Speaker 4: Los Angeles mayor to run the biggest city in California?
8:27
Speaker 5: Is that.
8:29
Speaker 4: A label that you embrace? Is that hurtful to your
8:33
Speaker 4: campaign or does it help you think?
8:36
Speaker 2: I mean, the reality pun intended is that was from
8:39
Speaker 2: twenty years ago. And if we look at what Karen
8:40
Speaker 2: Bass was doing twenty years ago, she was in Cuba
8:43
Speaker 2: learning how to make bombs with the people that would
8:46
Speaker 2: then go bomb Capitol Hill. So if we're looking at backgrounds,
8:49
Speaker 2: I'm pretty proud of what I was doing at twenty
8:52
Speaker 2: on rally television, even though you know, I may not
8:55
Speaker 2: have been the most likable character. It was still TV
8:58
Speaker 2: versus trying to destroy a man America. I'm going to
9:01
Speaker 2: Cuba twenty times and praising Pidel Castro.
9:03
Speaker 1: So what this is where people sit, you know, a
9:08
Speaker 1: local Los Angeles interview, people said what, I'm sorry what
9:13
Speaker 1: the mayor? Nobody knew this the mayor of Los Angeles
9:17
Speaker 1: support it was part of a communist revolutionists supporting Fidel Castro.
9:25
Speaker 1: I'm sorry what?
9:26
Speaker 2: So then he.
9:26
Speaker 1: Followed up with this. He got so many questions on it,
9:28
Speaker 1: and here.
9:29
Speaker 2: You go, Kara Maassura is a communist. Now, when I
9:32
Speaker 2: was nineteen twenty, I was living in an apartment on
9:35
Speaker 2: skid Row getting my political science.
9:37
Speaker 1: Degree at USC.
9:38
Speaker 2: That's as la as it gets.
9:40
Speaker 4: Do.
9:40
Speaker 2: But do you know what Kara Masura was doing at
9:43
Speaker 2: that age? You guessed it going to Cuba to support
9:47
Speaker 2: the communist revolution and Pidel Castro's oppressive regime. What Karen
9:53
Speaker 2: Massura is a car carrying member of the Communist Front group,
9:57
Speaker 2: the venzer Amost Brigade, an ant that's high American communist
10:01
Speaker 2: solidarity organization in which she actively worked for years to
10:06
Speaker 2: undermine the US and prop up the communist revolution in Cuba.
10:12
Speaker 2: Does this sound normal to you? Who in the heck
10:14
Speaker 2: spends their twenties supporting a violent communist dictatorship in a
10:19
Speaker 2: foreign country? What would you do?
10:23
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the one that's set everything off, because now
10:25
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're digging into it. And this
10:27
Speaker 1: is where again everybody's got their own opinion. You're gonna
10:29
Speaker 1: have to have your own takeaway on this. Not many
10:31
Speaker 1: people were aware of the background of this lady's background
10:36
Speaker 1: about about her communist ties. Here's what's different. This is
10:40
Speaker 1: a guy who at this point had already put his
10:43
Speaker 1: hat in the ring to run for mayor of La.
10:47
Speaker 1: Nobody has gone after Democrats and the communist connection like
10:50
Speaker 1: this guy. Nobody has actually called it out. And I'll
10:53
Speaker 1: dare say, I'll dare say, I'm gonna evoke the invoke
10:56
Speaker 1: the comparison, comparison. Excuse me. Not even Trump has gone
11:00
Speaker 1: so far as to call them absolute communists. He's danced
11:04
Speaker 1: around the subject a little bit. Spencer Pratt is flat
11:08
Speaker 1: out calling her a communista? Or is he calls her
11:11
Speaker 1: Karen Barsoura. That's sparked everything, and then all of a
11:17
Speaker 1: sudden the attack ads came out. But now we get
11:19
Speaker 1: to the debate. Well, you and I talked about the
11:20
Speaker 1: debate a little bit last week because it was an
11:22
Speaker 1: unbelievable performance. Now, all of a sudden, his odds to
11:25
Speaker 1: win the race of skyrocketed because he absolutely destroyed these people,
11:30
Speaker 1: set them on edge. We all know the famous line
11:34
Speaker 1: where he challenged one of his debate opponents to go
11:39
Speaker 1: under one of the La bridges and he said she'll
11:42
Speaker 1: get stabbed in the neck. That's persuasion. It's like in debates,
11:45
Speaker 1: there's always one big takeaway that everybody remembers. Everybody remembers
11:49
Speaker 1: that line from him, But there was another moment in here,
11:51
Speaker 1: and here come the attack ads because he's gone after
11:54
Speaker 1: his opponents the corruption, flat out, calling them communists, getting
12:00
Speaker 1: right to the heart of the matter. So then they
12:02
Speaker 1: attack him as what on the debate stage, you guess
12:05
Speaker 1: you have thirty seconds to respond, and then Cone has
12:07
Speaker 1: a question that coincides with all of this.
12:11
Speaker 3: Please great, I mean, I don't I'm not sure how
12:17
Speaker 3: to respond to that vision of Los Angeles. This is
12:19
Speaker 3: a maga republican's idea of what Los Angeles looks like.
12:23
Speaker 3: This is really not This is really not the city
12:28
Speaker 3: that I love so much.
12:30
Speaker 1: That's a famous visual too. Audio only listeners, Sorry, but
12:33
Speaker 1: you might have seen the clip already. Jesus, this is
12:36
Speaker 1: a mega Republican. He made like a face on camera,
12:40
Speaker 1: caught at the perfect moment. That's another debate takeaway that's
12:43
Speaker 1: being amazing, But there it is, and that gets to
12:47
Speaker 1: how they're attacking him now. And this is how it
12:48
Speaker 1: matters to all of us in a roundabout kind of way.
12:52
Speaker 1: So you're trying to clean up the streets. You're trying
12:55
Speaker 1: to bust up the fraud. You're trying to get to
12:56
Speaker 1: the heart of the corruption. You're trying to get rid
12:58
Speaker 1: of what he's calling the communist element that's running that
13:02
Speaker 1: city and has run it into the ground. Now what
13:04
Speaker 1: are you now? What are you when you exposed all
13:06
Speaker 1: this and you accused of him that you were? She
13:08
Speaker 1: said it, you're a mega Republican. Oh there they go,
13:11
Speaker 1: there there, it is okay, all right. So now his
13:16
Speaker 1: ads have become so effective, his campaign ads, his personal
13:19
Speaker 1: video A guy who grew up making his money, making
13:24
Speaker 1: his living on television. He's a reality TV star. He
13:26
Speaker 1: understands how to do it. He's unbelievable in messaging on camera.
13:30
Speaker 1: Except this isn't a TV show this time. This is
13:32
Speaker 1: a mayoral campaign. Very very effective. But what are they
13:36
Speaker 1: attacking him on. So they go back to go to
13:38
Speaker 1: actual mayor Bassora and they and they ask her what
13:41
Speaker 1: do you think about these campaign ads? What is it?
13:43
Speaker 1: Does she talk about the effectiveness, the issues he's bringing up,
13:47
Speaker 1: the people who are affected by the homelessness and the
13:49
Speaker 1: drug addicts and the fires and the danger and the
13:51
Speaker 1: crime and the cost. Nope, she attacks it on and
13:55
Speaker 1: the media attacks him on those are AI images? So
13:59
Speaker 1: freaking what do.
14:00
Speaker 5: You make of his campaign and much of it now
14:05
Speaker 5: relying on AI showing you as the Joker, showing you
14:10
Speaker 5: as Darth Vader, and sharing out other people's AI that
14:14
Speaker 5: shows that what goes through your mind when you see that?
14:16
Speaker 4: Well, actually, I think it's a very dangerous trend one
14:20
Speaker 4: because it is absolutely one hundred and fifty percent fiction.
14:26
Speaker 2: But what's worrying me now is is that his social
14:29
Speaker 2: media is now taking on a violent turn.
14:32
Speaker 1: And that were violent turn, showing up showing the actual
14:36
Speaker 1: scenes the parts that's not La La AI of La
14:40
Speaker 1: that's burning and the drug use in the part, and
14:43
Speaker 1: then he mixes it in with some actors like portraying
14:45
Speaker 1: people real Los Angelinos and what they're actually saying about this.
14:48
Speaker 1: Does she focus on the issues? Does she focus on
14:51
Speaker 1: the incompetence of the fraud that's led to that city
14:53
Speaker 1: going right down into the dumpster?
14:55
Speaker 2: No?
14:55
Speaker 1: She focuses on did you catch the diversion here? Catch
14:58
Speaker 1: the diversion tactic and the messaging? No, it's one hundred
15:01
Speaker 1: percent not real? Why because he's using AI assisted imagery?
15:06
Speaker 1: Is that why? And his campaign has turned turned violent.
15:10
Speaker 1: He's showing the violence in your city. You've run into
15:14
Speaker 1: the ground. That's what he's doing. But people will catching
15:16
Speaker 1: on to it because it's incredibly effective. Now why does
15:20
Speaker 1: it matter to all of us? Because they're going after him.
15:23
Speaker 1: The media has gone full bore after Spencer Pratt. TMZ
15:28
Speaker 1: tried to do a hit job on him yesterday. Going
15:30
Speaker 1: back to remember that first clip I played, there are
15:32
Speaker 1: the second clip. This is where I live in the
15:34
Speaker 1: airstream trailer because they distributed trailers to people whose houses
15:38
Speaker 1: burned down months after the fact. Right, this is where
15:40
Speaker 1: I live. Now they're trying to catch him. They're trying
15:43
Speaker 1: to say he's lying about that. He's actually living in
15:45
Speaker 1: the hotel bel Air, you know, some other nice hotel
15:47
Speaker 1: in LA. So they run a hit job all day long.
15:51
Speaker 1: Here's the takeaway. Chances that you and I are ever
15:54
Speaker 1: gonna be faced with a hit job from TMZ are
15:57
Speaker 1: pretty slow, you know, completely unbelievable to think that that
16:04
Speaker 1: could happen. But still most likely we're not going to
16:06
Speaker 1: face that. But this guy's in public life and he
16:09
Speaker 1: has so what does he do. Most traditional politicians get
16:13
Speaker 1: their pr team and they have them reach out and
16:15
Speaker 1: they release the new imagery and they release statements and
16:17
Speaker 1: crisis statements. No, he calls up TMZ and he says,
16:20
Speaker 1: you want to talk about this, let's talk. Let's talk
16:22
Speaker 1: about it. Put me on the air. I'll talk with you.
16:24
Speaker 1: I'm on my phone right now. Let's settle this right now.
16:26
Speaker 1: That's another thing that's changed, that's changed the game forever.
16:29
Speaker 1: And this is what he did, and he handled it perfectly.
16:31
Speaker 1: So remember the hit job is all day long. TMZ
16:34
Speaker 1: ran with the story that he's lying about where he lives.
16:36
Speaker 1: He lives in a four star, five star hotel. He's
16:38
Speaker 1: not living in that airstream. So he calls them up.
16:41
Speaker 1: They put him on the air, and this is how
16:42
Speaker 1: he campaign. Ad certainly made it seem that you were
16:47
Speaker 1: living in that trailer. It was a high point of the.
16:50
Speaker 2: Commercial, but you're at the hotel bel air, so.
16:57
Speaker 1: Kind of undo that for us.
16:59
Speaker 6: No, to be clear, that is where excuse me, that
17:02
Speaker 6: is where I live. That's where Karen Vass may or
17:05
Speaker 6: Vass burn down my house. That is where I will
17:08
Speaker 6: live until I have a new house. The airstream is
17:11
Speaker 6: a temporary facility. A hotel is a temporary facility. Where
17:15
Speaker 6: my kids are in Santa Barbara right now is a
17:17
Speaker 6: temporary housing and this is where I live as this
17:21
Speaker 6: is where they burn my house down. So this semantics
17:24
Speaker 6: or the nuance of this is this is the consequences
17:28
Speaker 6: of their failed leadership. And again, I don't live at
17:31
Speaker 6: the hotel bel Air, I don't live in the airstream.
17:33
Speaker 6: I don't live in the Santa Barbara. I don't have
17:35
Speaker 6: a house. They burned it down. That is why I
17:39
Speaker 6: got into this race, because of these people that will
17:41
Speaker 6: burn your house down and act like it's no problem.
17:45
Speaker 6: So this idea that anyone's like always.
17:46
Speaker 2: At a hotel, I'm at a hotel because he's psychopaths.
17:50
Speaker 6: Or message him every day. They're gonna kill me because
17:52
Speaker 6: Nitthya Raman is calling me a fascist because I don't
17:55
Speaker 6: want people to have their kids next to drug addicts
17:59
Speaker 6: at the park or stepping a human poop when you
18:02
Speaker 6: get your macha. I have common sense, that's not fascism.
18:06
Speaker 6: So these psychos here I'm a fascist. And then they
18:10
Speaker 6: they literally like, if you'd like to see the death dress,
18:13
Speaker 6: I can send them all offline.
18:15
Speaker 1: So he's living in yeah, oh forgive him oh man,
18:18
Speaker 1: the ultimate crime. This is a dad with a with
18:22
Speaker 1: two kids. So it's a family of four that has
18:24
Speaker 1: decided to not live in the airstream anymore because they
18:27
Speaker 1: tried it, not live in the airstream that they gave
18:29
Speaker 1: him months after his house burned down because of incompetence,
18:32
Speaker 1: and he moved into a hotel bel Air for security
18:35
Speaker 1: and for a place they can live. And this is
18:37
Speaker 1: this is what they're basing their attack job on him,
18:40
Speaker 1: the hit job on him, really, So he calls them
18:43
Speaker 1: up and he says, oh, we'll talk about this. Let
18:45
Speaker 1: me straighten it out right now. I've never seen you know,
18:48
Speaker 1: I've been following media for decades. I've never seen an
18:51
Speaker 1: attempted political hit job. Come on, this is exactly what
18:55
Speaker 1: this was. This is what oh he's raising, he's rising
18:58
Speaker 1: in the polls. He's when he call Harvey Levin at
19:01
Speaker 1: TMZ go after him, run the story about is he
19:04
Speaker 1: really living in that airstream trailer. I have never seen
19:07
Speaker 1: an attempted hit job through the media, through politics or
19:10
Speaker 1: anything backfire so badly. Is what TMZ went through yesterday.
19:13
Speaker 1: Why well, first of all, because they're making a ridiculous point.
19:16
Speaker 1: It didn't really work. And then he calls them up
19:18
Speaker 1: and he says, put me on the air. I'm going
19:21
Speaker 1: to tell you exactly what's going on here. Uh why
19:24
Speaker 1: do I say everything's changed? Why? Because we haven't quite
19:29
Speaker 1: seen anything like this? Who does that remind you of?
19:32
Speaker 1: On a hit job? Think about it? Yeah, I'll invoke
19:36
Speaker 1: his name. I'll make the comparison. Who else do you
19:38
Speaker 1: think if there was a major hit job taken out
19:40
Speaker 1: on you would call him up directly and say, let's
19:42
Speaker 1: talk about it. Put me on the air and be
19:44
Speaker 1: great ratings for you, and I'll destroy you on the air.
19:46
Speaker 1: Who can you think of anybody?
19:47
Speaker 3: Huh?
19:48
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm gonna say it. That's very trump like, very
19:51
Speaker 1: much so. But not even Trump went so far as
19:53
Speaker 1: to call them out by me and go into the
19:55
Speaker 1: history of what they are and call him communists. This
19:59
Speaker 1: is complete, complete, total game changer. And he even said
20:03
Speaker 1: there's another point about how we push back on the
20:04
Speaker 1: TMZ hit job yesterday told them directly, you know why
20:09
Speaker 1: I have to be in a different hotel with my
20:11
Speaker 1: family of four because of the death threats I get
20:15
Speaker 1: because you and all your Democrat call me friends have
20:17
Speaker 1: called me a fascist it's the same old game. What
20:20
Speaker 1: they do, You try to bust up when you're over
20:22
Speaker 1: the target with fraud and corruption and crime and incompetence.
20:27
Speaker 1: When you're over the target, what are they doing? What
20:29
Speaker 1: do they call you? You heard it in the clip and
20:31
Speaker 1: the debate. They call you a fascist. Oh that's you know,
20:34
Speaker 1: that's the worst possible thing in the world, right because
20:36
Speaker 1: once they call you a fascist, it revs up all
20:38
Speaker 1: the lunatics out there, all the crazies. We've seen this
20:41
Speaker 1: with Trump, now we've seen it with Spencer Pratt who
20:43
Speaker 1: want to kill you because they think you're justified once
20:46
Speaker 1: they call you a fascist. That's why you always hear
20:48
Speaker 1: Democrats always call anybody they disagree with a fascist. That's
20:52
Speaker 1: why they do it. So that somebody has some lunatic
20:55
Speaker 1: on the street can take you out for them. That's
20:57
Speaker 1: why they do it. He called them up, pushed them,
21:00
Speaker 1: gave them facts. I've never seen anybody pushback in the
21:04
Speaker 1: media like this, even with Trump, I've never seen it.
21:06
Speaker 1: And why do I say the game has changed? His
21:10
Speaker 1: campaign ads, his pushback, his messaging, the balls to actually
21:16
Speaker 1: call them what they are and going into still laughing
21:19
Speaker 1: at that at Karen Bass's communist ties, not socialists, not
21:24
Speaker 1: far left wing, he's called them, calling her flat out
21:27
Speaker 1: a communista. To be able to do that is cutting
21:30
Speaker 1: right through it. The game has changed now forever for
21:33
Speaker 1: anybody running for political office, that's the first thing. But
21:36
Speaker 1: for you, me and everybody else that this is happening
21:38
Speaker 1: in LA why does it matter? Why does this matter
21:40
Speaker 1: to us? It guys, it matters because it's Los Angeles.
21:43
Speaker 1: It's a major media market. That's why. If this is
21:47
Speaker 1: a big if. I don't know if the guy's gonna win,
21:48
Speaker 1: I have absolutely no idea. Still faces long odds, they
21:51
Speaker 1: haven't cleaned up their voter roles. He still has very
21:54
Speaker 1: slim chance to win this. But this progress made already
21:58
Speaker 1: with this because no one's putting up with it anymore.
22:02
Speaker 1: If he has even a chance of winning that mayoral
22:04
Speaker 1: race in Los Angeles, California, that has changed the game
22:08
Speaker 1: for everybody in your state, in your county, and your city,
22:12
Speaker 1: wherever you live. You know what I'm saying. Because it's
22:14
Speaker 1: not going to be Spencer Pratt is just the first
22:16
Speaker 1: to come out of the woodwork like this. There's gonna
22:18
Speaker 1: be plenty of other people, and I admire it because
22:20
Speaker 1: he turned his literal. I don't care that he a
22:24
Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades house, multimillionaires, all kinds of money. I don't care.
22:27
Speaker 1: He's representing other people and says we're all the same
22:30
Speaker 1: when everybody's house burned down. When your house is gone,
22:33
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how much money you had, how big
22:35
Speaker 1: the house was, or where it was. You're suffering the
22:37
Speaker 1: same thing. And he did too. So all these attacks
22:40
Speaker 1: on him, he's turning them around and turning it into
22:42
Speaker 1: a positive. The game has changed with this guy. Is
22:45
Speaker 1: he gonna win? Long odds. I'd love to see it happen.
22:48
Speaker 1: You know, none of us can vote in it, but
22:49
Speaker 1: I would love to see it happen. But it's probably
22:51
Speaker 1: not going to But that's okay because there's still a
22:54
Speaker 1: win to be had in this. Everything has changed and
22:57
Speaker 1: it does affect us where it goes from. Here's what
23:00
Speaker 1: you can expect. More media attempted hit jobs that he'll
23:03
Speaker 1: probably push back on and a little backfire on them
23:06
Speaker 1: and make them even more popular. I don't know, unbelievable,
23:10
Speaker 1: unbelievable messaging on this in every possible way. Good for him.
23:13
Speaker 1: So we'll see. Has the takeaway, and that's a you
23:16
Speaker 1: know what, that's another good lesson for all of us too.
23:19
Speaker 1: If you're facing a hit job in any level, it's
23:21
Speaker 1: probably not gonna be TMZ. Maybe it's just a hit
23:23
Speaker 1: job in a personal level. Go right back at the person,
23:25
Speaker 1: don't don't hide, and don't try to wheeze a lot
23:27
Speaker 1: of it. It's a good lesson for all of us.
23:29
Speaker 1: All right, make it a wicked, awesome Thursday. Let's get
23:32
Speaker 1: out of here. I don't know what's coming up in
23:33
