Speaker 1: The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast
0:08
by night, all day.
0:09
Speaker 2: What's going on, Mr. Mayor?
0:15
Speaker 1: I'm so thankful to be here.
0:17
Speaker 2: My pleasure. So first of all, how did this idea
0:21
even get into your head of running for mayor in L.A.? To.
0:27
Speaker 1: Be clear, I never wanted to run for any political
0:29
office or have anything to do with politicians. What happened
0:32
was After spending a year uncovering how my house and
0:36
my parents' house burned down and my neighbors burned alive
0:41
and 7,000 houses burned, and then I realized there's a
0:43
cover-up going on, all the negligence, and I keep posting
0:48
about it, and I have all the facts, I have
0:50
all the whistleblowers, I have all the evidence, and business
0:54
as usual, and I see that nobody is stepping up
0:57
to run against the mayor who's responsible for this disaster
1:02
and so many other disasters. So it became to the
1:05
point where I got so sick of just being a,
1:07
as the younger people say in the comment section, a yapper.
1:11
I felt like I was just yapping, like making these videos.
1:15
I'm telling the truth. I got a congressional investigation. I
1:19
went to Washington. I met with everyone possible that I
1:22
could do as just a citizen. And I was like, okay, well,
1:28
game on now. I'm going to go into your into
1:30
your headquarters and just take your job and then remove
1:33
all these toxic entities that are destroying our way of
1:37
life in Los Angeles.
1:38
Speaker 2: So let's start from the fire. So the narrative was, God,
1:44
there was a lot of terrible, stupid, fake narratives. And
1:47
one of them was climate change. That was the craziest one.
1:50
The climate change is causing the fire. Look, I lived
1:52
in L.A. for 29, 30 years, whatever it was. And
1:57
I guess it was, yeah, somewhere around there. Maybe even more.
2:02
Whatever it was. When I lived in L.A., fire season
2:06
happened every year. This is not climate change. This is
2:09
not some new thing over the last couple of decades.
2:12
I was evacuated three different times. I used to live
2:15
in Bell Canyon and my neighbors, three of the homes
2:20
right across the street from my house burnt to the
2:22
ground in 2018. There's always been fires in Los Angeles.
2:26
But the lack of preparation for the Palisades fires was astonishing.
2:33
The fact that the reservoir was empty was criminal mismanagement.
2:38
I mean, it was just insanity that everybody knew that
2:42
we had fires, like massive fires, that it was a
2:45
dry place. And when the Santa Ana winds would blow,
2:49
if something caught fire, it was a real problem. We
2:51
had known that forever. And when you... see all these
2:57
people that are passing the buck and moving the blame.
3:02
And then the fund, when they had that big charity
3:08
thing for the fire and you found out that hundreds
3:12
of millions of dollars was raised, you know, if you're,
3:16
You're looking at it like a rational person would say, oh,
3:22
this is great. All these people who lost their homes
3:24
will have some funds from this, and they'll be able
3:26
to rebuild. And then you find out that the money
3:29
was given to, what was it, like 108 different NGOs?
3:34
Speaker 1: 200 plus.
3:35
Speaker 2: 200 plus, where that money got distributed to these organizations,
3:41
these supposed nonprofit organizations, and most of that money goes
3:45
to overhead. And almost nothing goes to the people who
3:50
lost their homes.
3:51
Speaker 1: So to rewind, let's start with what we thought. We
3:56
were told climate change. And with the climate change, because
3:59
I've spent hours and hours arguing with people that will
4:03
argue with that. I go, okay, great. The climate changes, right?
4:07
So we're aware of this dry weather. It hasn't rained.
4:11
So what should we actually be doing? Should we just say, oh,
4:14
everybody should burn alive and houses burned down? Or should
4:17
we clear the dead brush? Should we pre-deploy? Should we
4:21
make sure that both reservoirs have water in it? So
4:25
the idea that climate change is the get out of jail,
4:28
burn everything down excuse, it doesn't even add up. So
4:31
we know that. So let's make a difference. And I
4:34
went and met with the chief of the U.S. Forest
4:38
Service and talked to him for a few hours. This guy,
4:39
Chief Garcia, is one of the most famous fire chiefs
4:42
from the hot shots. And I quizzed him. And he
4:45
told me this was not a surprise. He said they
4:49
all have a map. I forget the name of this
4:52
map that it goes to all cities and emergency personnel.
4:56
They have photos. You look at him. He showed him
4:59
to me. Everything is bright red leading up to January 7th.
5:03
Bright red. They knew this was coming to the point
5:06
where Chief Garcia had all of his firefighters on the tarmac,
5:10
kitted up. in their helicopters. He said his whole team
5:13
was standing by their computers because it was so obvious
5:17
this fire was coming based off of, if you want
5:19
to say, climate change, because it had not rained. It
5:23
was record dry. So this idea that they use that,
5:27
it's just an excuse. And then the big one that
5:30
everyone falls for to this day that is the best
5:33
propaganda ever is hurricane winds. We were told, you know,
5:37
Newsom's doing the thing and he's saying that winds would
5:40
come in, the hurricane, he lit his hair on fire.
5:43
There was no hurricane winds in the Pacific Palisades. The
5:46
max wind speed was 40 miles per hour. And for
5:49
the first six hours, when the helicopter is the initial attack,
5:53
when you put out the fire, it was max, I think,
5:57
27 miles per hour. So they got everyone with, it's unprecedented,
6:02
it's hurricane winds, it's climate change, no responsibility. So now
6:07
we go to fire aid. This is This was another
6:11
thing that just woke me up to, you know, we
6:13
always heard about the homeless NGO scam and the homeless
6:16
industrial complex, but living as a fire victim and watching
6:21
all these celebrities go on stage. They actually took fire
6:24
victims from Altadena on stage whose houses burned down and
6:28
they raised this $ 100 million. And as a victim, I'm thinking, okay,
6:32
you know, we're going to get a few thousand dollars.
6:34
That's nice. Or, you know, you break $ 100 million up,
6:38
there should be... A grand, you know, even FEMA and
6:42
these places, when you get that thousand dollar check, it's helpful.
6:45
You're like, oh, I just lost everything. Every little thousand
6:48
adds up. So when that happened and nobody I know
6:53
anywhere got money and sue Pascoe from circling the news,
6:57
a local journalist whose house burnout she spent months on. investigating,
7:03
calling up every single NGO. Who did you give money to?
7:06
Which victim? Nobody got money. And even the law firm
7:11
that they hired to do the, you know, the cover
7:14
up for the fire aid, the law firm says in
7:18
their own little three page document where they're defending fire aid,
7:21
They say several of the money went directly to fire victims. Well,
7:27
I Googled just to see, because I know the definition
7:29
of several. I want to see what does Google say
7:31
several is. It was definitely under 10. So out of
7:34
200 plus.
7:37
NGOs, their own lawyers are saying several gave to fire victims.
7:41
And then you look at the three that they named.
7:43
Like we gave gift cards to victims. Which victims? Which
7:48
you were just handing out if you were. But it
7:51
was that that woke me up to.
7:53
Speaker 2: They just stole the money.
7:54
Speaker 1: Yeah. And if they'll do that to people whose houses
7:56
just burned down. Of course they're going to do it
7:59
to our tax money with the homeless industrial zombie complex.
8:03
So that was a real wake-up that put me into, oh,
8:06
here's where the $ 25, $ 30 billion goes. It doesn't go
8:10
to solving anything or fixing it. It goes to scams.
8:15
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think before Doge and before Elon started
8:18
investigating into a lot of these NGOs, I don't think
8:21
anybody was really aware or most people were not aware
8:24
of how this all works and how there's– a whole bureaucracy,
8:31
like a business that's set up where a bunch of
8:33
people get paid from this money to essentially make no
8:39
improvements whatsoever in whatever the problem is, whether it's homelessness.
8:42
The homelessness is one of the biggest ones in LA
8:44
because there was 24 plus billion dollars spent on homelessness.
8:51
When people, when representatives have tried to do an audit
8:55
to find out where this money went, Newsom has blocked it.
8:58
He has vetoed this audit.
9:01
Speaker 1: So it's even worse in the sense that it's not
9:05
going to just their salaries. There's actual cases now with
9:08
the DOJ and the feds. They're arresting people who are
9:11
just stealing $ 30 million, $ 20 million, buying Bentleys. mansions in Brentwood.
9:17
So the idea that it's just going to salaries and
9:19
people are paying themselves out, that's one. But there's also
9:23
people just straight up stealing money. And you can't even
9:26
figure out how they steal it. For instance, this lovely
9:29
lady came on my podcast and she created her own
9:33
charity type thing, the Integrity Project, to expose NGOs because
9:37
she lives in Westwood. And all of a sudden, one
9:39
day on her block in this You know, she invested
9:42
with her husband, have a nice single family house on
9:44
this nice street in Westwood, and the old person home,
9:48
they were kicking all the senior citizens out, and she's like,
9:50
what's going on here? And then next thing you know,
9:53
the building's on the market for sale, and it's for
9:57
$ 11 million. Six days later, that building sells to a
10:02
developer for $ 27 million. Ends up this NGO, Weingart, who's
10:08
one of the top, I think they're at maybe $ 100
10:11
million just this year. They haven't turned in their audit
10:14
to the feds. It's late right now. But for instance,
10:18
no one knows why it went from $ 11 million to
10:20
$ 27 million over the weekend in three days. So people
10:23
pocket that money. Here's the craziest part. Guess who? So
10:27
the grant, you know, Weingart gets a grant from the
10:29
city of the state. Guess who owns that building? not
10:33
the city or the state, Weingart. So our tax money
10:36
buys for 20 extra million dollars of property to have
10:40
it as a homeless housing. Each of these beds, because
10:43
I think there's maybe only 70 beds in it, it's
10:45
now six years later approximately, totally not finished, not done,
10:49
more construction, this or that, they still get paid as
10:54
operators so these ngos not only get the money for
10:57
the grants to buy the building then they get like
11:00
a million dollars a year to be operators and here's
11:02
the best part there's no mandatory that they have to
11:05
actually put a body in the beds so you know
11:09
so the scam is like i keep saying this is
11:12
a cartel this is mafia this is real mafia criminal
11:18
stuff going on and the problem is so One thing
11:21
I'm so excited to do when I'm mayor and people
11:23
in the comment section are like, oh, he's so stupid.
11:25
You can't do that. I've met with the IRS criminal
11:28
investigation team three times in L.A., twice in Washington, D.C.,
11:32
and they are so excited for me to be mayor
11:35
because all they need is one document from each of
11:38
these NGOs and these grants and they can open these
11:41
investigations on fraud right now. They know the fraud and
11:45
the crimes are happening, but if the city doesn't hand
11:48
over the document and the NGO doesn't, they say they
11:50
can't just open up these cases without that one document.
11:54
So first week.
11:57
So for first week as mayor, I'm bringing in the
11:59
criminal investigation team. Here's all the NGOs we're working with.
12:03
I guarantee you, 95% of them already just call and
12:06
they're like, oh, Mayor Pratt, we're good. We're actually going
12:09
to Seattle. We don't want to work here. Once they
12:11
know someone's coming to stop the cookie jar stealing. And
12:15
then when people are like, oh, L.A. has no money.
12:18
How are you going to do all this stuff?
12:19
Speaker 3: L.A.
12:19
Speaker 1: Has plenty of money that we're just letting our tax
12:22
money just be stolen here. And to increase a problem.
12:26
Homeless since our current mayor, Karen Bass, has joined the
12:29
city power. She's increased homeless. They referenced numbers. They referenced numbers.
12:36
that she'll be like, oh, we removed 1,500 people this year.
12:39
But she doesn't say, oh, 1,500 were removed into the
12:42
cemetery because they OD'd. Not to mention how much tax
12:46
money we're spending on just keeping zombies alive. I met
12:50
with firefighters a few days ago at the Hollywood station,
12:54
and they were telling me the amount of Narcan they
12:57
go through. So in one night, I talked to MacArthur Park,
13:03
their fire station, he did 17 overdoses in one night.
13:07
So if they're not there, given the Narcon, the amount
13:12
of people dying is even more insane. Right now, six
13:15
people are dying a day in the street. And then
13:17
they say, oh, this is compassionate. These people have rights. No,
13:21
these people do not have rights to just die. We
13:23
need to protect them. These people as humans, and again,
13:27
that's why my whole thing is enforce the law. It
13:29
is illegal to just be doing fentanyl on the street.
13:32
So if we come in and we give you mandatory treatment,
13:36
not jail, if you're not, you know, some of these
13:38
people are just straight going to jail for, animal abuse.
13:41
They're torturing animals all day long on Skid Row. The
13:45
videos that I get sent, once you see them, you
13:48
can't unsee them. Not to mention now I'm working with
13:50
all the rescue ones, the ones they text me and
13:53
they're just like, Spencer, we have to stop this. And
13:55
the city knows. They call the cops all day long.
13:58
The cops come and they say, I mean, LAPD's hands
14:00
are tied. If the mayor and the city attorney, they
14:04
don't have like enforce the law, they just get away
14:07
with it. So we're in Mad Max life in Los
14:11
Angeles and people like to say, oh, it's not this.
14:14
I'm from LA. I've grown up and I keep saying
14:17
I'm fighting to get LA back to what I grew up.
14:21
It was beautiful. It's why I wanted to be on
14:23
a TV show and be famous and be part of Hollywood.
14:26
It was magical. Not even mentioned Hollywood is now gone.
14:29
The fact that Hollywood Boulevard, should be the greatest tourist
14:34
attraction in the world. You couldn't pay me right now
14:36
to go on Hollywood Boulevard, step on human feces, the
14:40
smell of pee, inhaling fentanyl. Everyone can just smoke fentanyl
14:44
on the streets now. It's psycho. So again, once you
14:48
start digging in and you spend all your life now
14:52
exposing this, because again, they burn my house down. They
14:55
burn my mom's house down. They put me in the game.
15:00
And once the bubble's gone... I just, all I have
15:03
is this energy to stop this. Not to mention now
15:06
the amount of thousands of messages I get every day
15:09
from every part of the city sending me photos. There's
15:13
parents that when they drive to school all across the city,
15:17
this is not just one unique area. They have to
15:19
have their kids in the backseat staring at an iPad
15:21
not to look out the window because meth addicts will
15:24
just be having sex on the side of the street.
15:27
there's just naked people everywhere now. And when I say people,
15:30
naked zombies. And the DEA will tell you 90% of
15:34
these homeless people have a drug problem. We have a
15:37
drug addict problem. These aren't people that just like missed
15:40
a paycheck and we need to get them help and
15:43
get back. This is a drug problem that needs mandatory treatment,
15:46
not handing people needles and pipes and saying, oh, here's
15:50
a million dollar bed. If you're a fentanyl zombie hanging
15:53
upside down, you don't care About a million dollar empty
15:56
bed because you're just high. You sober up and you
15:59
go get high again. But what are we talking about?
16:04
It's good.
16:04
Speaker 2: It's good to be pumped up. I mean, there's no
16:06
other explanation other than extensive fraud. There's no way they
16:09
could be getting that much money from our taxes and
16:12
have this big of a problem with crime and with homelessness.
16:16
And it's almost like they want everybody to feel helpless.
16:20
They want you to feel like there's nothing you can
16:23
do so that it justifies throwing more money at the problem.
16:26
Pull that article up again. So here it is. This
16:32
is an LAist, homelessness deal now under federal investigation. So
16:38
even in LA's famously overheated real estate market, the profit
16:41
and quick turnaround on senior housing complex and What's that word? Cheviot? Cheviot?
16:47
How do you say that word?
16:48
Speaker 1: Cheviot Hills.
16:48
Speaker 2: Cheviot Hills. Do you know where that is? Neighborhood seems extraordinary.
16:52
Man at the center of the deal since identified by
16:55
federal prosecutors as Brentwood landlord and developer Stephen Taylor bought
16:59
the property on Shelby Drive in 2023 for $ 11. 2 million.
17:01
Purchase record shows... Okay, so this is exactly what you're
17:08
talking about. $ 27. 3 million to pay for that acquisition came
17:12
from taxpayer grant funds authorized by city and state officials
17:16
according to grant documentations.
17:19
Speaker 3: L.A.
17:19
Speaker 2: Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Newsom touted the purchase as
17:23
a key tool in the fight against homelessness, the fight
17:27
against homelessness that they're losing. The deal called for Taylor's
17:31
involvement to be kept secret according to a confidentiality clause.
17:34
included in the purchase contract obtained through a public records
17:39
request that changed last month when federal authorities announced criminal
17:42
charges against Taylor. He's accused of submitting fraudulent documents to
17:46
borrow money from private lenders when he bought this and
17:51
other properties. So news conference region's top federal prosecutor, Bill Asaley,
18:01
said the investigation is ongoing. Taylor was arrested in August
18:04
when the case was under seal and pleaded not guilty.
18:07
Court records show it's the first of the two known
18:10
criminal cases brought so far by the federal task force.
18:13
Assailee assembled in April to investigate fraud and corruption around
18:17
the use of billions of dollars earmarked to combat homelessness
18:20
in Southern, California These people are just buccaneers. They're just buccaneers.
18:24
This is a just a gigantic criminal enterprise that exists
18:29
under this guise of You know being kind like.
18:35
Speaker 1: So that case only exists because of that mom Samantha
18:39
is did 7,500 of her own public records requests on
18:44
that senior citizen home. And then the FBI came, she
18:48
started posting it, and the FBI knocked on her door
18:51
and said, can we meet with you? And she gave
18:52
them all of her files. So it's back to what
18:54
I was saying. The feds wouldn't even got that story.
18:58
If this woman, Samantha, from the integrity project, didn't do
19:01
7000 public records requests and build this case on her
19:05
own because she was what's going on in my next
19:07
door neighbor.
19:08
Speaker 2: This episode is brought to you by Keytone IQ. The
19:11
demands on my time, energy and focus are immense. So
19:14
when I need. my brain to lock in for hours
19:17
and hours and fire at its fastest, most alert state,
19:21
I'm taking Ketone IQ. It's an energy shot powered by
19:25
this little miracle molecule that your body already naturally makes
19:30
and your brain especially loves, ketones. I've been talking about
19:34
ketones for over a decade, and this company's finally figured
19:37
out how to put them in a bottle. When I
19:39
take Ketone IQ, I drop right into a state of
19:42
laser-like focus and sustained mental clarity, whether I'm podcasting, training
19:48
in the gym, or just want to For 30% off
19:40
your subscription order. Or find Ketone IQ at Target stores
20:05
nationwide in the protein and electrolyte aisle and get your
20:09
first shot free. Plus, they have a 60-day money-back guarantee.
20:14
That's how confident they are that you're going to love
20:17
the increased focus you get from Ketone IQ. Well, this
20:20
has got to be just one piece of the puzzle.
20:23
Speaker 1: That's $ 30 million of $ 25- plus million.
20:27
Speaker 2: So this is an extensive, coordinated effort. to siphon money.
20:34
Speaker 1: 100%. And again, there's plenty of money to stop homelessness.
20:38
Karen Bass will tell you, let's use her low number,
20:41
made up number. They go around and they count. This
20:44
is a real thing. They drive around and they do
20:46
the homeless count. You can volunteer and you just count. Like, oh, one, two.
20:49
That's how they do it? Yes. They just had a
20:51
count recently. So the count supposedly is, let's say 45,000.
20:57
The Rand Corporation will say that count is 30% low.
21:01
I'll say that counts 100% low. But even so, let's
21:04
say there's 100,000 homeless people in Los Angeles, $ 20 billion. Okay,
21:10
that's California. Let's bring it down to in the last
21:12
year to a couple billion dollars. We can't get people
21:17
off the street with that much money. Just today, this
21:21
DSA city council member was doing a video. She's bragging about, oh,
21:24
I just secured $ 16 million grant. I love when they
21:27
use the grant. I just got $ 16 million more of
21:30
our tax money. And she is putting in little tiny
21:33
homes next to somebody, like just next to a normal street,
21:36
where again, this shouldn't be where that is. And it's
21:39
housing approximately, I say, 60 people or whatever. It was
21:43
a quarter million dollars per person that they're bragging about. $ 250, 000
21:47
a person. can get anybody sober, a nice little condo
21:54
or apartment for a year, potentially whatever job tools you need.
21:59
So this idea that takes a quarter million dollars to
22:01
put a tiny, it's everyone's getting a cut. It's like, again,
22:06
it's like the mafia.
22:07
Speaker 2: Who's giving- So there's a bunch of things going on.
22:09
There's a bunch of employees that are getting paid. So,
22:13
and getting paid substantial amounts of money. You know, my
22:15
friend Coleon Noir found this out about San Francisco. So
22:18
he went up to San Francisco. He saw all this
22:20
homelessness and he's a lawyer, but he's also, he doesn't
22:24
know what's going on over there. He's like, wow, what's
22:25
going on? Do they need more money? He's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
22:29
What's going on is they're actually incentivized to have more
22:33
homeless people because the more homeless people, the bigger the
22:36
bureaucracy grows, the bigger you can have your homeless foundation,
22:40
your homeless task force, whatever it is. And these people
22:43
are making quarter million dollars a year plus. which is insane.
22:47
And he showed the list of the salaries of all
22:49
these people. Like, how are you getting paid when the
22:51
problem keeps getting worse? And all you're doing is hiring
22:55
more people and they're getting paid more money and more
22:59
projects and more grants and more homelessness. And it's not
23:03
getting any better, but the money keeps coming in. So
23:06
you're incentivized to keep the problem. Of And increase it.
23:09
Speaker 1: Yes. More money. It's a business.
23:11
Speaker 2: Right.
23:12
Speaker 1: And, you know, people always talk. I grew up and
23:14
I was well aware of the military industrial complex. But
23:17
even with that, they track the bombs and the fighter jets.
23:21
This it's even it's even crazier because there's no I
23:25
think we we serve. They use the word serve and
23:28
cared for. They don't track results. They say, oh, we
23:32
house bombs. 1,400 people for a night, two nights. It's
23:36
not like we're getting people have bracelets and we're tracking
23:39
them and they're getting air tags. We have no idea
23:42
what's going on. So again, I keep saying as mayor,
23:46
I'll enforce the laws because you cannot be a crazed
23:50
drug addict zombie just running amok naked on the street.
23:54
That is why, thank God, our amazing Democrats in California
23:58
made this year SB 43. And that means... If you
24:02
can't manage your own mental state, you can come in
24:06
and have a hold, a psych hold for 72 hours.
24:08
And if it seems like, oh, this person needs real treatment,
24:11
it can go to 45 days. And then it can
24:14
go up to a year conservatorship. And as mayor, what
24:17
I keep telling people is once you start enforcing the law,
24:20
first off, people who just want to do drugs and
24:23
live on the streets, they will leave L.A. because they'll see, oh,
24:26
this mayor is not playing around. We need to go
24:29
somewhere else or they're so crazy and we're going to
24:32
help them get medical treatment or they're one of these
24:35
dog abusing type people. And I'm going to put them
24:38
under the jail to the point where once they get
24:41
from under the jail, somehow, if they ever get out,
24:43
they will never come back to L.A. because now they're
24:46
been under the jail and they're going to go under.
24:48
Two times more until they end up in prison because
24:50
if you abuse animals, once again, once you see what
24:54
I've seen, we're talking they're stapling dogs, eyes closed.
24:57
Speaker 2: I can't even.
25:00
Speaker 1: It's insane. The shelters alone where the city is doing
25:04
mass murder because they're not giving these people enough funding.
25:08
And I'm convinced now they must make money off of
25:11
euthanizing people. So there's the street issue with the zombies
25:16
abusing dogs and then the city just mass murdering dogs
25:21
because they're not getting the proper funding and facilities and
25:24
they're not spaying and neutering and enforcing all the laws
25:27
to keep street breeders from just flooding the streets with
25:32
the dogs. So back to you enforce the law and
25:36
this isn't impossible. I've met with a lot of people
25:38
that have real estate in Los Angeles and they have
25:41
real estate in San Francisco and Mayor Lurie came in
25:44
And he started enforcing the law and just saying, you
25:47
can't do this. And he has cleaned up the city
25:49
pretty well. You know, there's obviously people that say he's
25:52
not doing enough.
25:53
Speaker 2: And again, I'm sorry, what city is this?
25:54
Speaker 1: San Francisco. And so he he took the call from
25:58
the feds and he said, I'm going to do this.
26:00
And he's doing a solid job. Again, I'm going whole
26:03
next level because I'm not concerned about optics. I'm not
26:07
concerned about, oh, Spencer's doing this. He's so mean. No,
26:10
what's mean is letting people live on the street in
26:13
human poop. and dying on the street. And these people
26:16
I run against, they're all the same. They go, oh,
26:18
we need more housing. We need more affordable housing. We
26:20
need more beds. This isn't working. They just keep doubling down.
26:24
Speaker 2: Well, that's a false narrative. Everybody knows it's not a
26:26
housing problem. That's not what it is. It's a drug
26:29
abuse and mental health problem. That's all it is. It's
26:32
not a housing problem. That's a flat out lie. And
26:35
anybody who says that should be shamed when they say
26:38
we need more affordable housing. Well, you're fucking lying. And
26:41
you're part of the problem. If you're saying it's just
26:43
an affordable housing problem, that means either you are a
26:47
part of the propaganda narrative and you've been told to
26:50
say this or you're in on it.
26:51
Speaker 1: 100%. That's it.
26:53
Speaker 2: At this point, it's fucking nuts. Skid Row is 50 blocks.
27:00
Speaker 1: It can't even be called Skid Row anymore. It's called
27:01
Los Angeles. Every community. Before my house burned down in
27:06
the Palisades, my wife was ready to move because every
27:08
morning in front of Palisades Elementary that then burned down
27:12
and across the street at my son's preschool at Methodist,
27:15
there was a lady cleaning her private parts in front
27:18
of kids at 745 in the morning. You call LAPD.
27:21
They pull up and they go... You don't know her
27:25
because they can't enforce law. She'd go around the corner
27:28
and she'd go number two in front of Joe's Barbershop.
27:31
I would know because I had to step over the
27:33
number two because I'd always park right near Joe's Barbershop.
27:35
So it's not Skid Row. It's everywhere.
27:38
Speaker 2: So the police are told not to do anything about it.
27:41
Is that what it is?
27:43
Speaker 1: If you don't enforce the law, what are they going
27:45
to do? Right.
27:46
Speaker 2: So this comes down from the mayor.
27:48
Speaker 1: Of course. And the mayor and the city attorney, if
27:51
the mayor is not telling the city attorney to prosecute
27:54
all his misdemeanors, put these people in mandatory hold. If
27:57
you're cleaning your private parts in front of kids and
28:00
you're a normal citizen, you are going to jail. You're
28:03
going to be on the citizens app as a sex offender.
28:06
But the consequences for zombie people are, They don't have them.
28:11
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
28:12
Speaker 1: It's not fair for all the normal taxpaying people in
28:15
Los Angeles that we have to abide by laws. And
28:18
then there's a whole class is like it's like anarchy.
28:21
It's like it's psycho.
28:23
Speaker 2: It's so weird to see, you know, because I lived
28:27
in L.A. for so long. And when I first moved
28:29
there in the 90s, there was nothing like this. It
28:32
was it was nice. You know, I mean, it was
28:35
a lot of traffic, but that was it. There was
28:36
some crime, but it wasn't that bad. And everything just
28:40
keeps getting worse and worse and worse. And it didn't
28:43
seem really bad until, well, Skid Row was always bad.
28:48
And Skid Row was bad on purpose. So for people
28:51
that don't know, and we looked into this because I
28:55
found out about Skid Row. I knew it existed, but
28:58
I found out about it when we were filming Fear Factor.
29:00
So one day, because we filmed a lot in downtown
29:03
LA and a lot of these abandoned warehouses and buildings.
29:05
And we were in one of these warehouses and we
29:09
left the set and I drove home and I took
29:11
a wrong turn. And I went down near the outskirts
29:16
of Skid Row. And it's hard to believe that it's
29:21
real if you haven't seen it. When you're talking just
29:24
blocks and blocks and blocks where there's nothing but homeless people.
29:30
just people on the streets, camped out, wandering through the streets.
29:33
There's no cars driving whatsoever, garbage everywhere. And the idea
29:38
that that's never been cleaned up up is fucking insane.
29:42
So what we found out is that that was an
29:44
area a long time ago where they started moving people.
29:47
I don't know when was this. This was the Jerome Hotel, right?
29:50
That's what we talked about? That's what it was. So
29:54
there was a documentary on the Jerome Hotel. And when
29:57
we looked into it, it turns out that what they
30:00
would do is they would find vagrants, which is the
30:03
old school term for it. And they'd find them in
30:05
Beverly Hills or Hollywood, and they would just move them
30:09
to downtown LA to Skid Row and leave them there
30:13
and keep them there. The idea was to keep them there.
30:15
They had food there for them. They had kitchens. They
30:18
let them camp out on the street, just stay here.
30:21
And it ruined all, Cecil, the Cecil Hotel, that's right.
30:24
So this is where they, so Cecil Hotel was like
30:28
this beautiful hotel that existed in downtown LA. And now
30:31
it's just like, it's in zombie land. And the whole
30:34
area is filled with fucking, just everything around it is homeless.
30:40
The sheer volume of it is impossible to describe. unless
30:44
you go there and see it. And the fact that
30:46
that's never been addressed, that no one does anything about it,
30:49
and it's gotten to 50 entire blocks of nothing but
30:54
homeless people. No businesses, no nothing. Nothing's functioning. It's all
30:58
just taken over by zombies.
31:00
Speaker 1: I went to USC, and I lived in a loft
31:03
on Skid Row at the top of the old bank district.
31:05
So in 2003, that was my street that I would
31:09
pull in and park. very good deal. That's why I
31:12
was like, this is, I got an entire penthouse. Why,
31:15
you know, I didn't get, you know, at 20, why
31:17
it was so cheap. But, so I've seen the progression
31:21
to the point where, It's insane. And again, this is fixable.
31:26
There's so much money. We're already paying for it. These
31:29
people in charge don't want to fix it. It's clear.
31:32
And they'll continue doubling down. They need somebody to come
31:35
and say, oh, we're done with this. And that's why
31:38
I'm excited to actually be a mayor that's in these streets.
31:42
And here's what they keep saying. Oh, you can't do
31:44
this because the city council, they're all in on it.
31:46
You know, 90 percent of them because they have four
31:48
of these socialists. DSA members on the city council that
31:53
actually want to destroy our way of life in Los Angeles.
31:55
Speaker 2: Why do you think they want to do that?
31:58
Speaker 1: Because they're socialists. Go on the DSA, Democratic Socialists of
32:01
America's website, and they're not Democrats. They hate Democrats. They
32:05
use the word to hide their true agenda of socialism.
32:09
So they want to keep taking as much of our
32:12
tax money. And the main lady I was talking about
32:15
with that $ 60 million, she's one of these DSA people.
32:17
She's bragging about taking $ 16 million of our tax money
32:20
to give politicians. 40 plus people or 50 people, 250,000
32:24
each to live in a tiny home. That is not
32:27
a working solution. We need to have a plan to
32:30
get these people back into society, not bankroll an entire
32:35
existence of Los Angeles where we're like, oh, you can
32:37
just be a drug addict and we're going to pay
32:40
for you because.
32:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the problem with that narrative that the
32:43
rich people aren't paying enough. And this is one of
32:45
the things that I've seen progressive podcasters talk about the
32:48
wealth tax. And they were talking about imposing a wealth
32:51
tax on billionaires. And they're like, stop being greedy. Pay
32:54
your fair share. Like, what is your fair share and
32:57
where is it going? Like, if you could show me
33:00
that an increase in taxes would fix all the problems.
33:03
I said this when I lived there. I wouldn't mind
33:05
paying more taxes if they fixed everything. But it doesn't
33:08
seem like it fixes anything. Not one thing gets fixed.
33:12
And they keep asking for more money, which is crazy.
33:16
The solution is... Cut it all off. One of the
33:20
things that Texas has, no state taxes. There's no state taxes.
33:25
You don't pay state taxes in Texas. In California, you
33:29
pay 14%. So they're incentivized to take that money and
33:34
do with it whatever they want. And so the more
33:37
they can come up with, like building tiny homes or
33:40
whatever the fuck it is, it's just incentives for them
33:44
to siphon money.
33:46
Speaker 1: And again, as mayor, I want to have full accountability
33:49
and transparency where that's what everybody that's paying. If there's
33:52
a lot of good people that are fine with paying
33:56
as much tax as they want, if you're helping people
33:58
get off the street, if the lights work, if, If there's.
34:01
Speaker 2: Less crime, if it's safe, if it's nice, if it's clean.
34:04
Speaker 1: So we need to track every single dollar and make
34:07
sure that there's no waste and abuse. And with that
34:11
type of live dashboard, not track it with these weird data.
34:14
I'm talking anyone can understand. This money goes here. And
34:18
we're talking real accounting. They don't want to do this
34:21
because everyone's eating. Everyone's getting a cut. All these people
34:25
are living off of the scam. So you need to
34:28
come in and really just say no more of this.
34:31
Speaker 2: So let's talk real world practical application. So you get
34:36
into office. Now you have all these council members that
34:39
these Democratic Socialist people. How do you handle that? What
34:42
do you do? How do you keep them from blocking
34:44
all these things you're trying to do?
34:46
Speaker 1: So that is what excites me, because there's never been
34:50
a mayor that comes in and literally goes to each
34:55
of their constituents of these districts. For instance, this DSA
34:58
member wants to keep giving the fentanyl needles and the pipes.
35:02
Then I go to that district. I have a press conference.
35:04
I bring everybody. I say this so-and-so wants to keep
35:08
these zombies going number two and having sex in front
35:11
of your kids and put the heat on the city
35:14
council members. Right now, they care about their jobs. They
35:17
get $ 238, 000 a year salary. They get not even including
35:22
their entourage. Then they get... You know, our grants and
35:25
our tax money for all their little scams they're running.
35:28
So they actually want those jobs. If a mayor comes
35:31
in and is like, oh, we're I'm going to put
35:33
the heat on each one of you, because right now
35:36
the mayor, Karen Bass, isn't calling out each district and
35:40
their failures. These constituents, the taxpayers need help. somebody to
35:45
come in and expose each of these districts and go
35:48
into their communities and be like, this is what you're
35:50
voting for. So at least at the next election, they're out.
35:54
So then once they start feeling the pressure, somebody on
35:56
their neck, they're going to start like, oh, I don't want,
35:59
I want to keep my job. I like this power.
36:01
Speaker 2: But there's been a concerted effort to put those people
36:03
in the government, right? And, you know, a lot of
36:05
people point to George Soros and he's one of them
36:08
and his Open Society Foundation is one of the people
36:10
that likes to do that, particularly for very progressive prosecutors
36:14
and DAs. But there's more than just him. There's a
36:19
whole machine behind it. And this is what I don't understand.
36:22
Because if you wanted to destroy a city, if you
36:25
wanted to destroy society, you would do it exactly the
36:28
way they're doing it. So what is their incentive and
36:30
why are they doing it this way?
36:32
Speaker 1: Well, they want to destroy it to then rebuild it
36:34
in their vision. The second my town burned down and
36:37
it's all dirt, who's coming in with the ideas? Oh,
36:40
we got $ 100 million for affordable housing. We're going to
36:43
do this. They have a plan. They have a vision
36:46
that's not going to work, but they have their utopia planned.
36:50
That they would love to then rebuild.
36:51
Speaker 2: How do you say it's not going to work? What's
36:53
going to stop them from doing that in the Palisades?
36:55
Because socialism has failed everywhere. It's certainly going to fail.
36:58
But what's to stop them from ruining the Palisades?
37:02
Speaker 1: Well, I did. I stopped them. They can say that
37:05
SB 79 or whatever their housing thing was never going
37:09
to apply to Palisades. But after me attacking it all
37:13
day for decades. weeks, they added like 13 notes and
37:17
made the Palisades a fire hazard area where you couldn't
37:22
build high density. Because what they do, there's a new
37:24
state law that just got passed. And if you're, again,
37:28
these aren't exact, all the yimbies are going to go nuts.
37:30
I'm saying it wrong.
37:32
Speaker 2: What's a yimby?
37:34
Speaker 1: Something about your backyard. Who knows? I have to block
37:39
them usually on social media. But They have a vision
37:44
that everything in California and Los Angeles should be high density.
37:48
We need to build these seven, nine-story structures to have
37:53
more affordable housing. So they want to get rid of
37:55
single-family homes and put seven-story buildings on. So the NIMBYs,
38:00
not in my backyard, they fight these people on X. Yeah.
38:06
To be honest, I'm not either of them. I'm fine
38:09
with more housing, but I also want people to have
38:12
single family homes. And I think the fact that we
38:15
lost the idea where we can't fight for the California
38:18
dream to have a front yard with grass and it's
38:21
gotten so expensive and impossible, that should be the problem.
38:25
Not that, oh, we've given up. Nobody should ever get that.
38:28
We need to build these seven-story prison-like structures and give
38:32
anyone who can't afford just a box to live in.
38:34
Let's fight to get to California where people had a
38:38
front yard and grass.
38:39
Speaker 2: Well, it's also insane to try to do that with
38:40
the Palisades because the Palisades has always been a wealthy
38:43
neighborhood where people with a lot of money spent a
38:46
lot of money and also paid a lot of money
38:49
in taxes and had these beautiful homes. And the idea
38:53
that you're going to take that over with low-income housing, well,
38:57
those people are going to move out of there. And
38:58
there goes the tax money from those people. Not only that,
39:01
those people lost their homes. Their homes were taken from
39:04
them by the fire. And that's not fair. It's not
39:07
fair at all that you would just do that. It
39:10
doesn't make any sense.
39:11
Speaker 1: I like to use the word stolen. The houses were
39:14
stolen from all these people. A misconception, though, because I'm
39:17
from the Palisades and I grew up. The Palisades just
39:20
became this wealthier, you know, famous people in the last,
39:26
let's say, 10 years. But growing up.
39:27
Speaker 2: That's it? Really?
39:28
Speaker 1: Yeah.
39:29
Speaker 3: 10 years.
39:29
Speaker 2: We're talking big.
39:33
Speaker 1: You know, $ 40 million type big houses. Like when I
39:36
grew up.
39:36
Speaker 2: I thought it was always like that. I thought it
39:38
was always nice.
39:39
Speaker 1: It was nice. But, you know, lawyers and doctor, you know,
39:43
not Silicon Valley and movies, you know, hardworking people pass
39:48
these houses down generations. So there were nice houses, but,
39:52
you know, your great grandfather probably passed the house down. And,
39:56
you know, my dad's a dentist. He came in, he
39:58
was a surfing dentist and was able to get a
40:00
house in the Palisades.
40:01
Speaker 2: And it's a beautiful area. Yeah, it's, it's, Gorgeous area,
40:04
amazing weather. And people should know that an area bigger
40:10
than the size of Manhattan burnt to the ground.
40:13
Speaker 1: So let's go back. Let's do the fire because that's
40:16
a great, we haven't even, you know, we just touched
40:18
on it, but nobody's really talked about what happened, how
40:21
this fire started, you know, why we're on the fire.
40:23
So people would think about the Palisades fire and they go, oh,
40:26
January 7th. Well, what happened? The fire for January 7th
40:30
actually started on New Year's Eve. So there's a case
40:33
right now. It's kind of fallen through the cracks. It
40:36
may not go forward. There's arson cases. Supposedly, allegedly, this
40:40
guy lit a fire at New Year's Eve with a
40:42
lighter or a cigarette, and there was an eight-acre fire. Now,
40:47
according to witness testimony, there's about 30 people that saw
40:50
fireworks go into this site called Lockman, Skull Rock. So
40:55
at New Year's Eve— Eight-acre fire starts. LAFD responds. But
41:00
the issue, what people don't understand, when they respond, they
41:03
can't come up there with heavy dozers. So a dozer,
41:06
like a bulldozer, has a rake-type thing on the front,
41:10
and they clear around the fire, and they make a
41:12
fire break even when the fire is going. Ideally, you'd
41:15
want the fire break before, which, because of California State
41:19
Parks and plant over people policies. We don't have fire breaks.
41:23
So dead fuels, dead brush has been growing around lots
41:27
of communities for 50, 60 years. So right now the
41:30
Palisades burned down, but what's next is Brentwood, Hollywood Hills, Sunland, Tujunga,
41:39
what else, Bel Air, all these are going, I'm sorry
41:43
people you live here, they're all gonna burn down if
41:45
we don't come in here, make fire breaks up 300 feet,
41:49
because when I met with Chief Bobby Garcia and I
41:51
asked him about fire breaks, the purpose of the fire
41:53
break is to give firefighters a chance to dig in,
41:57
and when they drop the retardant, if there's not a
41:59
300 foot break, Then all the return just falls through
42:03
the different levels of the foliage and it doesn't make
42:06
a moat. So if you have a break, it creates
42:09
a moat-type situation and now the firefighters have a chance
42:12
to get up there and respond. So back to January 1st.
42:16
They couldn't bring their dozers up. We now have text
42:18
messages because... Again, I'm one of the lead plaintiffs suing
42:21
the city of LA, LADWP, and the state of California
42:25
state parks. So I have all the text messages public now,
42:28
but we have the texts from the park rangers, the LAFD,
42:32
and they're joking about, of course, I'm not bringing any dozers.
42:35
I know the rule, you know, protected plants. Keep in mind,
42:39
I never knew about this plant. It's called milk vetch.
42:42
Nobody respectfully cares about milk vetch, but somebody in the
42:46
environmental world cares more about milk vetch than 12 people
42:50
burning alive because the plant that was protected is the
42:54
reason pretty much these people burned alive. So they do
42:58
their best. You know, the LAFD puts it out. But
43:01
now we know that the fire was still smoldering. We
43:05
have hiking footage of the next day and the day
43:08
after in the state park, Topanga State Park. hikers, tourists.
43:11
We have a guy who lived down the street. Of course,
43:13
he had his own drone that had not only a
43:16
regular drone, he had a thermal imaging drone. So the
43:19
whole hillside is just smoking. And we now have a firefighter, Pike,
43:23
on his subpoena video. He says that he clearly saw
43:28
smoldering pockets of coal that he didn't even want to touch.
43:33
And he informed his chief, hey, we can't pull the
43:36
hoses because and the chief said, pull the hoses. Not
43:39
just Pike, multiple firefighters have now said that it was
43:42
all smoking, but why would they pull the hoses? After
43:46
meeting with so many firefighters since, I've realized the fire
43:49
department is so understaffed, so underfunded, they're operating a fire
43:55
department from the 1960s with 50% more calls now, 80%
44:01
of them are for zombies to overdoses, 30% of the
44:04
fires are zombie encampment fires. So to me now, I'm
44:09
trying to get in that chief. I spoke with that
44:11
chief on the phone and In my mind, it's a
44:15
budget thing. Everything's just like, oh, we don't have, you know,
44:18
clocks tick in. We don't have the money to stay
44:20
up here with the hoses because three years earlier, the
44:23
same area in the Highlands, I think they left the
44:25
hoses up in the Palisades for 18 months. You leave
44:28
the hoses up because it stays hot and they have
44:30
them up. They pull them the next day. So I
44:32
think it's a funding thing. I mean, the chief, Chief Crowley,
44:35
who Mayor Bass fired in retaliation for telling the truth,
44:39
seven weeks before the Palisades fire, she wrote a memo
44:42
to the, Karen Bass said, I am dangerously underfunded. I
44:46
cannot keep Angelino safe. What does Mayor Bass do? Cuts
44:49
another 17 million from the fire department. So in my mind,
44:53
the chief's like, I can't I don't have the money
44:55
to leave guys up here. We got to go.
44:58
Speaker 2: So has anyone asked her what was her justification for
45:01
the cuts?
45:02
Speaker 1: Well, the city's broke. The city has no money.
45:04
Speaker 2: But how do they have so much money to buy
45:06
homes and homeless shelters and spend all that money?
45:09
Speaker 1: Here's the best part. I've now found out since then,
45:12
there was $ 400 million just in an account that they
45:16
hadn't even touched for homeless. Literally at the time she
45:20
cut the 17 million, there's 400 million that right now
45:23
is still there that they haven't used allocated 400 million.
45:26
So it's, they got it for the zombies, not for
45:29
the tax paying citizens, public safety, not to mention back
45:33
to the taxpayers. The Palisades probably is largely at, at
45:36
the time of the fire was probably the most money
45:39
in taxes was going to the city from the Palisades.
45:42
So you don't, Back to, back to Lachman. So they
45:45
leave because if you listen to their testimony, the state
45:48
park rangers say, oh, we got this. We'll keep an
45:51
eye on this. In the subpoenaed depositions, they asked one
45:55
of the state park rangers, well, did you see the
45:57
smoldering hill? They say, oh yeah. What'd you do? Oh,
46:00
I took a photo. What'd you do with the photo? Nothing.
46:03
What do you mean? Well, I'm not a firefighter. So
46:05
the state parks own manual says they're supposed to close
46:09
this park and to make sure it's not a dangerous condition, obviously,
46:13
and to monitor it. Did they close the state park?
46:16
No worse. Guess what the state park rangers asked the
46:19
firefighters to do? And there's photos, it's mind boggling. They
46:23
asked the firefighters to take dead brush and fuel and
46:27
they carry it and they put it over the fire
46:29
break from a day earlier around where they made the
46:32
fire break around that January 1st. They take the dead
46:35
bushes and they cover up the fire break. There's photos
46:39
of it. It's the craziest thing you've ever seen. Because
46:41
they didn't want people to go on the wrong trails
46:44
because they look like hiking trails now. So they take.
46:48
Speaker 2: If you wanted to be cynical... Do you think that
46:51
having this $ 400 million and keeping it in there and
46:54
keeping funneling money into homelessness and not into the fire
46:57
department is simply because the fire department is not profitable?
47:01
You can't siphon money off of the fire department. The
47:04
fire department basically just goes to fight fires. It goes
47:07
to equipment, people's salaries. maintaining the fire departments, you can't
47:13
steal that money.
47:14
Speaker 1: You want to know how sick it is right now?
47:16
The fire department, LAFD, their union, all the members, get
47:21
like choked up. I feel so, because I met with these,
47:23
you know, I keep meeting with these guys and you,
47:24
hear from their heart, you're like, oh, this is so heavy.
47:27
They had to take their own money to get on
47:30
a ballot measure, a million dollars. They all pooled it
47:32
together to get a ballot measure this coming election to
47:35
get a half cent on sales tax in LA so
47:39
that they could have money to fund actual things they
47:42
need to keep.
47:42
Speaker 2: A half a cent.
47:43
Speaker 1: A half a cent on all the... But the point is.
47:46
Speaker 2: That's it.
47:46
Speaker 1: They need to go out of their own pocket to
47:49
get a ballot measure because they know they will never
47:52
get funded by the city to keep Angeleno safe, that
47:55
they got to go out of the.
47:56
Speaker 2: But there's only one way to look at it. You
47:59
would look at it like, well, what would be the
48:00
logical reason why they would allocate so much money towards
48:04
homelessness and so little towards the fire department? When the
48:06
fire department is... I've said this before, but If you
48:09
want to talk about like socialism that works, the fire
48:12
department is socialism that works. If you really care about
48:16
socialism and that's the thing that you really believe in.
48:19
There's certain aspects of socialism that are applicable in a
48:22
healthy community. One of them is the fire department, that
48:25
your money should go, we should pool some of our
48:28
taxes to go to make sure that we're all protected.
48:30
And the fire department doesn't just protect the rich people,
48:33
protects all people. Fires break out, the fire department comes in,
48:36
regardless whether you have any money or not. We all
48:39
pool our money together for the fire department. It makes sense.
48:42
But if it's that... You can't steal that money, right?
48:47
So there's no way you can– the homelessness.
48:50
Speaker 1: Is– It's vague.
48:52
Speaker 2: It's weird. You could hide it. It's like you're counting
48:56
bodies on the street. Oh, one, two, three. Let's write 5,000.
49:00
You don't have real accounting, these people, because it's so chaotic.
49:05
But fire department, you know the employees. You know the
49:08
fire department. You know where the trucks are. You know
49:10
where everything is.
49:11
Speaker 1: You can't steal that money.
49:12
Speaker 2: But that homeless budget, boy, there's a lot of wiggle
49:16
room in that homeless budget. And if you wanted to
49:19
be cynical- you would say that's why they fund the
49:23
fire department so little and they fund the homeless so much.
49:28
Speaker 1: Well, also, these DSA... Socialists, they don't want to fund
49:33
the fire department. They don't want to fund the police department.
49:36
They want these type of entities to be defunded. They
49:39
don't even want them to exist.
49:41
Speaker 2: So what do they expect when fires happen?
49:44
Speaker 1: Right now, they want things just to burn. If you
49:47
look around the city— How.
49:48
Speaker 2: The fuck do these people get in office? Like, who's
49:50
voting for them?
49:51
Speaker 1: They're tricky. They have these ground teams, and they go around.
49:55
They got a real ground game, and they go knock
49:57
on old people's doors, and they say, oh, we're Democrats.
50:00
We help the— They have nice words, and they got
50:03
a strong— Like, in L.A., I think there's 5,000 at
50:06
least members that can hit the street, whereas a normal—
50:10
For instance, Spencer Pratt running for mayor. I don't have 5,000
50:13
people on deck to go knock on doors. And not
50:16
to mention, they're funded. They have 100,000 plus members across
50:20
the U.S. They have outside entities that give them money.
50:22
And again, they're sneaky. If you go watch on YouTube videos,
50:25
they talk so much. S-H-I-T about Democrats, Republicans. They hate
50:31
all these people. So they don't want either party. They
50:34
want them. Here's the craziest part. This should be legal.
50:37
Like right now, the one who's running against me, they're Democrat,
50:40
you know, socialist, champagne queen. She, when... You sign up
50:45
with the DSA. You sign like a contract to co-govern
50:49
with the DSA. How is it legal when you are?
50:52
Speaker 2: What?
50:53
Speaker 1: Yes.
50:53
Speaker 2: Wait a minute. Explain that.
50:55
Speaker 1: So when you become, you get like, you're a DSA member.
50:58
So right now she's a city council member. And when
51:00
the DSA gives you an endorsement, you sign a contract
51:03
with them to co-govern with So right now she's not
51:06
representing her district as an American citizen, a Los Angelino.
51:10
Speaker 2: She's representing the Democrat Socialists of America.
51:13
Speaker 1: Yes. Wow. And that should be co-governed. That should be illegal.
51:16
I mean, illegal.
51:17
Speaker 2: And so they can just go full ham with all
51:19
these radical ideas.
51:21
Speaker 1: Yeah. And their idea is to just come in, take
51:24
all of our tax money and keep trying to invent this.
51:27
For instance, that lady has had six years in charge
51:30
of her city council. Thousands of her constituents message me photos.
51:35
It looks like, again, Mad Max in her area. So
51:38
we're going to put her in charge? The only thing worse, actually,
51:42
than the Cuban communist Karen Bass is actually a socialist DSA.
51:47
So I'm running against worse and worse. It's truly.
51:52
Speaker 2: Is Karen Bass running for reelection? Yeah.
51:54
Speaker 1: That's why I stepped in. When I saw her announce,
51:56
I was like, oh no, you don't get to burn
51:58
my house down. Do people.
52:01
Speaker 2: What is the general population? I think most people have
52:06
jobs and families and they're busy. They're very busy. So
52:09
it's very difficult to be completely informed about all this.
52:12
What is the general perception of Karen Bass? What is
52:15
her approval rating in Los Angeles?
52:18
Speaker 1: She has the record lowest approval rating in the history
52:21
right now. So UCLA just did a poll about a
52:23
week ago. I'm number two to Karen Bass. She is
52:26
approximately 20 something percent. I think I have 13 percent
52:30
with 40 percent undecided. Those 40 percent, I keep saying
52:34
those are my voters. Those are people that are fed up.
52:38
They know they're not voting for Karen Bass. They just
52:40
don't know. There's a guy named Spencer Pratt that's saying
52:43
we need common sense. We need to clean these streets.
52:45
No more fentanyl at the park. Parents need to feel
52:49
comfortable taking their kids to school without seeing meth zombies
52:52
having sex on the side of the street. We're talking
52:54
common sense. This is not political, what I'm running on.
52:58
Not to mention, the mayor is a nonpartisan race. There's
53:01
no letters on it for a reason. The mayor is
53:04
supposed to represent all of Los Angeles. Period. You'll never
53:09
get me ever doing these performative politics, talking about national issues,
53:14
doing the bait and switch stuff where, oh, talking about
53:17
over here why I destroy your actual local government. That's
53:21
the problem. Everyone gets caught up in the media and
53:24
they follow what's going on in different states and Different
53:27
politics and the federal government when the people that really
53:31
affect your life who are destroying your way of life
53:33
are your local government, your mayor, your city council, your
53:37
fire commission, your police commission. When I'm mayor, I'm wiping
53:41
out this fire commission. We're putting actual experts that know
53:44
what they're talking about, not these rando experts. political pointing lunatics.
53:49
Same with the police commission. You need to have people
53:51
that pride themselves in law enforcement and want accountability and
53:54
want the best from the police department. You know, the
53:56
police department is the lowest it's been in 30 years
54:00
in Los Angeles. And here's my favorite thing.
54:02
Speaker 2: In terms of staff?
54:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, in terms of police officers.
54:05
Speaker 2: 30 years.
54:06
Speaker 1: 30 years. Here's the best part. They will tell you,
54:09
the mayor said, crime is down. I have truly, because
54:13
I spend all day long just reading DMs, reading.
54:15
Speaker 2: It's down in terms of its reporting.
54:17
Speaker 1: Thank you. Every message I get, they say, call 911.
54:21
You'll be on hold for God knows how long. If
54:24
they ever pick up, if it's literally not like somebody's
54:28
getting shot at that moment. You know, if you're trying
54:30
to report crime or this, they're not coming. Nobody's filing it.
54:34
They don't have the staff to be doing that. So
54:37
the real crime numbers are so insane. Not to mention
54:41
Karen Bass will brag about homicides are down. First off,
54:44
that's a national trend. She's taking credit for the whole
54:47
United States down. But I even have another angle on that.
54:50
I'd have to go probably to some emergency hospitals. But
54:53
I think Los Angeles has such good trauma nurses and
54:58
trauma doctors. The amount of stabbings and shootings, they probably
55:02
keep people alive. That's the real number. You know, maybe
55:06
30 years ago before we were so good with quick
55:08
clot and, you know, and God knows we have so
55:11
much stuff now that keeps people alive. Just on the
55:15
Metro alone. The stabbings are, everything is double last year.
55:20
So these people are living, but everyone's getting stabbed everywhere.
55:23
I keep joking that everyone loved that guy in New York,
55:26
Mondami or whatever his name is, because he said, everything's
55:29
going to be free. Well, as mayor on the metros
55:32
in Los Angeles, Mayor Pratt will make sure you're going
55:34
to be free from stabbings. So there you go. You're welcome.
55:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. It's like just because the
55:42
actual murders are down. It doesn't mean that the actual
55:46
violence is down. New analysis by L.A. City Controller says
55:49
that at least $ 513 million meant to help homeless went unspent.
55:54
Speaker 3: This was just 2024. That's about $ 400 plus in 2025 also.
55:59
Speaker 2: Good Lord.
56:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, the $ 400 is for sure.
56:02
Speaker 2: And then where does that money go?
56:06
Speaker 1: Just last week, the federal government paused a $ 400 million
56:10
payment that was coming to because they said all these
56:13
federal audits aren't, you're not showing the books. So just
56:16
the money is just coming. And that's, we're just talking
56:20
to LA, which is the epicenter of the whole state
56:22
of California. All this fraud that you keep hearing about everything,
56:26
it all comes from LA and then goes out to California. L.A.
56:31
is the death star, you know, and that's why I'm
56:34
coming in. Luke Skywalker.
56:36
Speaker 2: Well, Nick Shirley started doing investigations into all sorts of
56:39
other fraud that's all around Los Angeles with hospices and
56:44
all these different things. And They're finding hundreds and hundreds
56:47
of millions of dollars of fraud.
56:48
Speaker 1: But not for much longer because he could be facing
56:52
a $ 10, 000 fine.
56:53
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy?
56:53
Speaker 1: According to the new California bill yesterday. So this is
56:57
a new bill.
56:57
Speaker 2: Instead of saying, wow, thank you for uncovering this fraud.
57:02
They passed a bill that if you film things and
57:06
you go to a place and identify that place, And
57:10
then somehow or another, those people, what, get harassed or
57:14
something because of it? You could get fined.
57:17
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I was already saying on my own podcast,
57:19
my plan as mayor, because everyone kept being like, oh,
57:22
you need Nick Shirley. No, what I need is all
57:24
of Los Angeles to be a Nick Shirley. I, as mayor,
57:27
am going to offer cash bounties. If you film any fraud,
57:31
city workers doing something suspicious, any type of scams, and
57:36
you bring it to the mayor's office and we check
57:38
it out, I'm going to pay you. So now I
57:42
got to deal with the state, you know, if that passes.
57:44
But I was already going to just make the city
57:46
become these nicks. Everybody has an iPhone. What an insane response.
57:51
What an insane response.
57:52
Speaker 2: Instead of thanking someone for uncovering criminal fraud, you make
57:58
a new law where you turn them into criminals.
58:01
Speaker 1: These people are laundering more money than El Chapo.
58:03
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
58:05
Speaker 1: That's what I keep trying to say.
58:06
Speaker 2: Oh, it's billions. Billions and billions of dollars.
58:09
Speaker 1: This is real criminals. Like the Gotti, all these people
58:12
we used to think were mobsters at the Italian shops
58:15
back in the day, they couldn't even comprehend that. what's
58:18
going on right now. And then even on the city level,
58:20
like when I met in a fire station, they were
58:23
telling me about how if a refrigerator, this is mafia stuff,
58:26
if a refrigerator breaks, firefighters, they know how to take
58:29
the refrigerator and they put it out. The city person
58:32
comes in, they go, oh no, put that back in.
58:35
You can't have that taken in. So they make them
58:37
put the broken thing back in before the next person comes.
58:41
And then it costs like $ 50, 000 and only this one
58:45
city contract can fix it. It's not up for bid.
58:50
And that is where all this extra money that isn't
58:53
going to Actually getting these firefighters within the fire station
58:57
I was at, they had a fire truck that should
58:58
have been in retired in Mexico 10 years ago. And
59:02
instead they like pay to put a new back bumper
59:04
on it. And they just it's these guys have to
59:06
pay out of their own pocket for the blinds, the paint.
59:10
and they do it because they live here it's so
59:13
sad where LAFD used to be the symbol of great
59:17
like the goat firefighters that everyone looked to how we've
59:21
just let it fall apart same with LAPD we have
59:24
just no pride and what's happening is the Olympics are
59:27
coming and what I keep telling and Everybody is, we're
59:31
going to have a terrorist attack because we're not even
59:34
safe for our streets right now. They're not even protected.
59:37
If we do fires alone, all a terrorist cell needs
59:40
to do is get five of those black e-bikes and
59:43
they need to go on a windy day leading up
59:45
to the Olympics, go around with road flares, tossing them
59:49
out on all the 50 years of dead brush. The
59:52
entire city will look like a nuclear bomb went off.
59:55
Look at the palisades. Yeah. One area. All five bad guys,
59:59
bad actors go around and do that. It's done.
1:00:03
Speaker 2: And by the way, there's a lot of evidence that
1:00:05
a lot of the fire in the Palisades, not just
1:00:07
the initial fire, but subsequent fires were caused by arson.
1:00:10
In fact, my friend Andrew filmed some guys doing it.
1:00:14
He filmed guys lighting things on fire. He filmed it
1:00:17
in his car. He was watching these vagrants filming them
1:00:22
lighting things on fire.
1:00:23
Speaker 1: Two days ago, there's photos of a vagrant homeless zombie
1:00:28
in the Palisades trying to light a fire right now. Thankfully,
1:00:31
the area hasn't grown back yet, but they're two days ago.
1:00:36
These zombies, people don't like the word zombie, but they
1:00:40
are zombies. Yes. There's different boxes of homelessness. There's people
1:00:46
that need help.
1:00:47
Speaker 2: Down on their luck. Down on their luck.
1:00:49
Speaker 1: They've lost their job quick. Boom. That is one box.
1:00:52
It's a very small box, but I am aware of those.
1:00:56
Then there is a 95% box that are people that
1:00:59
are just- Fentanyl zombies. Fentanyl zombies. Meth. Just want to
1:01:03
live on the streets and be a drug addict right now.
1:01:05
Maybe some of those people get help. They get sober,
1:01:08
get proper treatment. Now they get a new chance of life.
1:01:11
Then there's another box that are just people that want
1:01:14
to do drugs and be a bad person. We have
1:01:17
to acknowledge there's actually just bad people that are in
1:01:20
a different box.
1:01:21
Speaker 2: So there's also people that want everything else to fall
1:01:24
apart because their life is in the shit. They live
1:01:27
in shit. Their life is hell and they don't want
1:01:30
to see you drive by an Alexis. They don't want
1:01:32
to see you go to your nice house. They don't
1:01:34
want to see any of that. They want to light
1:01:36
things on fire.
1:01:37
Speaker 1: Well, that's how also these DSA people get support because
1:01:40
they've destroyed the city so much. You look around and
1:01:43
you think, oh, the American dream is broken. Capitalism is broken,
1:01:48
but they're the ones that broke it. So if you're
1:01:51
just like a young 20-year-old looking around, you're like, oh
1:01:54
my God, there's zombies everywhere, rents so much, all the
1:01:57
restaurants are closing. This system doesn't work. But what they're
1:02:00
not looking at is who's breaking the system that did work.
1:02:03
The one that I grew up in, That was so beautiful.
1:02:06
Over 100 restaurants in L.A. have closed this year. Over 100.
1:02:10
And these aren't chains. These are people that put their
1:02:13
life into this. These are chefs. And they can't make
1:02:17
it in a place that was a go-to food spot.
1:02:20
Speaker 2: Well, where I used to do comedy in Los Angeles
1:02:23
on Sunset at the Comedy Store. If you drive down
1:02:26
Sunset now, everything is for lease. It's fucking nuts. It
1:02:30
used to be very difficult to get a property on
1:02:33
Sunset because it was so valuable. In the 90s and
1:02:36
the early 2000s, like everybody wanted to have a restaurant
1:02:39
on Sunset. Everybody wanted to have a bar on Sunset
1:02:41
because that's where everybody went. There was always cars and
1:02:43
it was nice and you could walk on the street.
1:02:46
We would walk down to get food. We would go
1:02:48
to the stand after we would– the standard rather after
1:02:51
we would go to the– I would fucking never walk
1:02:54
down that street now. It was normal.
1:02:56
Speaker 1: And that's you trained up, you know, ready to go
1:02:59
with the sidekick. Imagine a lovely lady that just wants
1:03:03
to walk her little dog. The amount of people that
1:03:05
just are just dog walkers. They're like, I am scared
1:03:08
to walk my dog. I won't say which newscaster, but
1:03:11
I had a newscaster off camera recently said, everything you're
1:03:15
saying is true. She goes, every morning I have to
1:03:17
get up at 5am because it's the safest time for
1:03:19
me to do my morning run every day. Naked zombie.
1:03:22
She said, I'm running by a naked zombie trying to,
1:03:25
can you imagine not, you know, you and I don't
1:03:28
want to go walk on the street, but just like
1:03:30
a woman with their little dog or moms with strollers.
1:03:33
And it's not, it's across the entire city. I watched
1:03:36
news in Spanish where these underpasses In South Central or
1:03:41
East LA, these families have been coming to the news
1:03:43
and they're like, please, because they're having to take their
1:03:45
kids under these underpasses with encampments to get to the schools.
1:03:49
It's not just like a Hollywood thing or a valley.
1:03:52
It's everywhere.
1:03:53
Speaker 2: It's everywhere. And I don't think people understand it. Can
1:03:56
we show some videos? Let's show some videos of some
1:03:59
of the real chaotic homelessness in Los Angeles so people
1:04:02
can get a look at it. Because, you know, I've
1:04:05
had some friends send me videos, like my friend Whitney Cummings.
1:04:08
She went... through Los Angeles a couple of months ago
1:04:12
and she sent me a video and I was like,
1:04:13
this is fucking nuts. Cause I, I haven't been, I
1:04:17
don't go there anymore, man. I fucking avoid that place
1:04:20
like the plague. I used to love it. I used
1:04:22
to love it. I never even thought until the pandemic hit,
1:04:25
I was like, I'll be probably here forever. And now
1:04:29
it's just nuts.
1:04:30
Speaker 3: The street people of Los Angeles, Instagram account, they show
1:04:33
this stuff all the time.
1:04:34
Speaker 2: Street people of Los Angeles, Instagram account.
1:04:36
Speaker 3: This is a dad and a son walking by. Yeah.
1:04:39
Speaker 2: Well, this is a small- That's in the valley.
1:04:42
Speaker 1: No, but the point is, yeah, I posted this also
1:04:46
in the sense that look at these little kids. They
1:04:48
got to go by.
1:04:49
Speaker 2: This is some of the- We used to have our
1:04:50
studio in Woodland Hills, and we used to have guys
1:04:53
that were camping out right in front. Look at that.
1:04:55
Even Perez Hilton is on your side. Pratt is the path.
1:04:59
What Los Angeles needs.
1:05:00
Speaker 1: You see that, Pratt? Yeah, he's- God bless Perez.
1:05:05
Speaker 2: You might be the only person saying that.
1:05:06
Speaker 1: No, he had a near-death experience and came to Jesus. Oh,
1:05:09
good for him. He's locked in.
1:05:12
Speaker 2: I hope it sticks.
1:05:13
Speaker 1: Oh.
1:05:13
Speaker 2: Is that somebody died?
1:05:14
Speaker 1: No, he died twice pretty much.
1:05:16
Speaker 2: From what? What happened?
1:05:18
Speaker 1: He took antibiotics without food when he, which I didn't
1:05:24
know was a thing. That's why they say to take food.
1:05:26
And then, again, I'm going to say this wrong, but
1:05:28
whatever that creates, some situation, boom, now he has sepsis
1:05:32
and he's next to death for 30 days. And then
1:05:35
we just got out of the hospital. Then he has
1:05:37
a blood clot. So he's like Bible all day. He
1:05:41
talked to God when he was like dead. So I
1:05:44
think he's for real, for real.
1:05:46
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, that would be nice. He's another nice person
1:05:50
in the world.
1:05:51
Speaker 1: He's a powerful prayer warrior now. So, you know.
1:05:55
Speaker 2: Show me some Skid Row. Some Skid Row footage is
1:05:58
the nuttiest. Okay. Skid Row footage is the real, that's
1:06:02
the real red pill.
1:06:03
Speaker 3: I mean.
1:06:03
Speaker 2: You're like, how? It's just, there's no better way to
1:06:08
describe it than how you described it earlier. It's literally
1:06:11
a criminal cartel. It's a criminal cartel that's siphoning money
1:06:14
off of people. Look at that guy. Just needs a job.
1:06:18
These people just need a home. Come on, man. This
1:06:20
is not that bad. This is very minor. There's certain
1:06:26
areas of Skid Row. Look how they have tents, which
1:06:29
is so crazy.
1:06:29
Speaker 1: Well, you paid for that. You didn't. I did. Oh,
1:06:31
look at this.
1:06:32
Speaker 2: This guy's protecting against vampires.
1:06:35
Speaker 1: Yeah. These are nice clips.
1:06:37
Speaker 2: That guy just needs a job, dude. Relax. Poor dog.
1:06:42
I know. I see dogs with homeless people. I just
1:06:43
want to. I'm such a dog lover. I can't go
1:06:46
to the dog pound. If I went to the dog pound,
1:06:49
I'd have 100 dogs. And my wife would never let
1:06:51
that happen.
1:06:51
Speaker 1: So that guy there in the fentanyl, these fentanyl hangs,
1:06:56
they don't need beds.
1:06:57
Speaker 3: Right.
1:06:58
Speaker 1: That's not a bed issue.
1:06:59
Speaker 3: No.
1:06:59
Speaker 1: It's not a housing.
1:07:00
Speaker 2: They need to get cleaned up. And for people that
1:07:03
don't know, this was not like this. This was not
1:07:08
like this a decade ago. This is a rapid decline
1:07:11
in what this city looks like.
1:07:13
Speaker 1: Oh, there's some nice people.
1:07:15
Speaker 2: It's just crazy. This is not as radical as it
1:07:21
could be. Skid Row is really, if you could find some.
1:07:25
Speaker 3: There's innumerable videos. I can't click, uncheck them all fast enough.
1:07:29
Speaker 2: All right, try this one. Skid Row, right there.
1:07:32
Speaker 3: It's got 600 views. I was going to try to
1:07:33
find one.
1:07:33
Speaker 1: What's below that?
1:07:34
Speaker 2: Right there, that one. I spent a day on Skid Row.
1:07:37
There was a comic in the early 2000s. that went
1:07:43
undercover and lived on Skid Row for a couple of
1:07:46
days to film things. And it was pretty astonishing even
1:07:49
back then. But again, this is a created environment that
1:07:53
they created because they didn't want to deal with the
1:07:55
homeless people. And they're like, you know what we should do?
1:07:57
We should just take these people and put them in
1:07:59
one spot and don't let them leave. And that's how
1:08:01
they created Skid Row. And, you know, decades later, you
1:08:05
have five, zero, 50 blocks of nothing but this kind
1:08:10
of shit. Where it's just fucking chaos. It's just homeless
1:08:13
people everywhere. And it's so sad. All lost lives. You know,
1:08:18
as a father, you know, you're a father. This is
1:08:21
someone's children. This is someone had a baby. And that
1:08:24
baby they loved more than anything. Like, oh, my God,
1:08:27
they're so precious. That precious person is now in the
1:08:30
middle of an intersection hunched over on fentanyl.
1:08:32
Speaker 1: Well, the amount of people that message me and say
1:08:35
thank you. My so-and-so brother, daughter, son died of fentanyl overdose.
1:08:42
These people need mandatory treatment. They don't need just, oh,
1:08:45
if you want, we have these needles for you. We
1:08:49
have street med teams where we can come in. You know,
1:08:53
it's crazy. And it's back to being a dad. I'm
1:08:57
only running for mayor to do one last Hail Mary.
1:09:00
to try to save the city I love and grew
1:09:02
up so God willing. And if it doesn't work, you're out. Whoa,
1:09:05
they already burned down my house. That's what the LA
1:09:07
Times was. That's the funniest. Did you see this? So
1:09:09
they tried to do a hit piece, LA Times, and
1:09:12
say that I wasn't eligible to run for mayor. because
1:09:16
my house burned down. This was last week. No, I'm
1:09:19
not kidding. This is real. And they were like, oh,
1:09:23
he's living in Santa Barbara right now.
1:09:24
Speaker 2: I thought the LA Times had become more reasonable when
1:09:27
that guy owned it.
1:09:29
Speaker 1: That was... Completely not true. And the funniest part is
1:09:32
the LA Times is in El Segundo for the last
1:09:35
eight years. So they're the ones that should be worried about.
1:09:37
So what happens is they say, oh, it's up in
1:09:40
the air because he's in San Francisco. I call the
1:09:43
city clerk and I say, hey, the LA Times is
1:09:45
reporting that I know I'm eligible. Everybody knows. It's like
1:09:49
saying that 7,000 people whose houses burned down now can't vote.
1:09:52
Speaker 2: Right.
1:09:53
Speaker 1: They can't vote.
1:09:53
Speaker 2: Because you don't have a house there.
1:09:54
Speaker 1: Because Karen Bass, who you're not supposed to vote for,
1:09:57
because she burned your house down, you can't vote for her.
1:09:59
So he's like, of course you can run. I said,
1:10:01
anybody can call and ask this? He's like, yes, it's
1:10:04
on our website. So it was just a full hit piece.
1:10:06
Speaker 2: So why would the LA Times, who was the person
1:10:08
who wrote that story?
1:10:09
Speaker 1: This guy, Noah Goldberg. And why is because he's- pushing
1:10:13
the Nithya Raman. There's a video of him at the
1:10:15
bar with her like, yay. They won.
1:10:18
Speaker 2: She's a Democrat socialist.
1:10:19
Speaker 1: Yes. And LA Times wants their own clickbaity Mondami. They
1:10:23
try to make their... Mondami is a custom built Manchurian candidate,
1:10:27
20 years in the making. He's a star. That's why
1:10:30
he's got the smile. You can't take this bootleg wannabe
1:10:34
and try to cook her into it. So they dropped
1:10:36
this fake hit piece on me the day the UCLA
1:10:39
poll comes out that has me in the lead and
1:10:41
not the one that they had just run some fake DSA,
1:10:46
you know, BS poll that nobody believed. It was movie scene.
1:10:49
Speaker 2: How is this person doing in the polls, this person
1:10:52
that you're running against?
1:10:53
Speaker 1: They're at 9%, I think. But again, the polls, I'm
1:10:55
in number one. Anybody, they know this. She's in charge
1:10:59
on the city council. She's the chairperson of the homeless plan. Okay.
1:11:06
She wants to, what's she going to change? She's had
1:11:09
six years. So we're going to, we're going to put,
1:11:12
and then she's tweeting or X, you know, whatever you
1:11:14
call it. Like my new plan, homeless is not working. Oh,
1:11:18
so you just announced you're running for mayor. The best
1:11:21
part is, She's had six years to not say any
1:11:24
of these problems until she's running for mayor. These politicians
1:11:27
are just, it's the problem. The problem is people have jobs.
1:11:32
People aren't paying attention like me. They just hear the
1:11:35
little fake. I care. This isn't working. Oh, she's a
1:11:39
city council member. Oh, she's a Democrat. No, she's not.
1:11:42
It's not a Democrat. I'm the one who's been fighting
1:11:45
for Democrats for the last year and a half to
1:11:47
expose all of this violence. fraud, our literal city letting
1:11:52
our town burn to the ground. So that's when I
1:11:54
really stepped up. So I watched this movie, Hot Shot,
1:11:57
a documentary on, you know, fires. And I see in
1:12:00
this documentary, a hundred mile per hour, I think it
1:12:04
was the Oak, the Oak fire, I don't know, in
1:12:08
the film. And you see a hundred mile per hour
1:12:10
wind and the firefighters are just standing there with like
1:12:13
garden hoses. And you're seeing that a hundred mile per
1:12:16
hour wind does not mean everything burns down. because this
1:12:18
community have fire breaks. So then I see who this
1:12:22
guy who lived with these hotshots for six years. So
1:12:26
I find him on X and he's live streaming talking
1:12:29
about how the Palisades fire before anybody was not started
1:12:34
on January 7th, but a rekindle from that first fire
1:12:38
when the LAFD, this is where it gets so conspiracy
1:12:42
Chinatown movie type shit, they hired, A crisis PR firm,
1:12:49
the lead company, here's the best part. Guess where they
1:12:52
got the money? The mayor's office where they got the
1:12:54
money to hire the crisis. From the LAFD Foundation. They
1:12:59
used charity money to hire a crisis team to alter
1:13:04
the after action report that says all these things that
1:13:07
went wrong to make the mayor, Karen Bass, look good. Oh,
1:13:10
my God. I find this out because I start posting
1:13:14
about what this director, Gabriel Mann, is saying about the
1:13:18
Palisades fires. I'm posting now, I got info. So now
1:13:21
firefighters start coming to my DMs as whistleblowers. Hey, just
1:13:24
so you know, The after action report that went out,
1:13:28
that was the ninth version. And the battalion chief that
1:13:31
wrote it wouldn't put his name on it because they
1:13:33
changed it so much. So I do a post about that.
1:13:36
Three weeks later, the L.A. Times, everything I post, three
1:13:40
weeks later, they would steal my thing. And I'm like,
1:13:42
Pulitzer Prize guy. It's like I posted that three weeks
1:13:45
ago because the firefighters were coming to me. and telling
1:13:48
me what was going on behind the scenes. So also
1:13:51
as mayor, I'm gonna make sure that the fire department,
1:13:54
the fire chief has civil protections again. So right now
1:13:59
the fire chief is like a puppet. They have to
1:14:01
do whatever the mayor says, cover up for the mayor.
1:14:04
They're just another politician. They need to be responsible for
1:14:07
the Angelenos, the public, and they don't have that protection.
1:14:11
The mayor can just get rid of them. So you've
1:14:13
got to give them these civil protections back like they have.
1:14:16
The mayor can't just get rid of the police chief,
1:14:18
for instance. But that's when I was like, oh, these
1:14:21
people are.
1:14:22
Speaker 2: It's organized crime.
1:14:23
Speaker 1: Thank you. It sounds like the mob. Here's the best part.
1:14:27
You know when the mayor was in Ghana as everything
1:14:29
was burning down? Do you know who she left in charge?
1:14:33
Her deputy mayor? Do you know where the deputy mayor was?
1:14:36
The deputy mayor, Mayor Karen Bassett, deputy mayor, was on
1:14:39
house arrest because he was arrested for calling in a
1:14:43
bomb threat to City Hall. This is real life. This
1:14:48
is the person that's supposed to take the call because
1:14:50
she's in Africa.
1:14:51
Speaker 2: Why did he call in a bomb threat to City Hall?
1:14:55
Speaker 1: Great question. I, you know, so that's who people were
1:15:01
dealing with. So when they're like, oh, Spencer, you don't
1:15:04
have the experience to be mayor. Well, I promised my
1:15:06
deputy mayors that I have on deck. They aren't calling
1:15:08
in any bomb threats to city hall. So we're already
1:15:11
starting ahead of the curve. Also, I'm not going in
1:15:15
to steal taxpayer money. I'm going in to stop all this. So, again,
1:15:19
I really believe there's enough. common sense people that see
1:15:23
that I'm not doing politics. I don't want to do
1:15:26
any of this. Politics are, it's a job. These people
1:15:29
are career politicians. I never wanted to be a career politician.
1:15:32
Before my house burned down, I was selling my healing crystals. They,
1:15:36
just to be clear, they have no magical powers. They
1:15:39
all burned in my house. So anybody, you know, you're
1:15:42
buying them, they, you know, I thought that had protection energy.
1:15:46
They don't. So You know, and feeding hummingbirds and taking
1:15:51
my kids to school. That was my dream life. And
1:15:55
they burned it down. And now they have their worst
1:15:57
nightmare coming to just undo the whole thing.
1:16:00
Speaker 2: Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor of Public Safety agrees to
1:16:03
plead guilty to threatening to bomb L.A. City Hall last year. Now,
1:16:07
what was the reason? Brian K. Williams, 61, of Pasadena,
1:16:10
is charged in a single count. Information with threats regarding
1:16:14
fire and explosives.
1:16:16
Speaker 3: It doesn't have a reason, but it says what he did.
1:16:18
Speaker 2: Hmm.
1:16:19
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think there's ever a good reason.
1:16:22
Speaker 2: I mean, I would like to hear his reason. Bomb threat.
1:16:27
I received a call on my city cell phone at
1:16:30
1048 this morning. The mail caller stated that he was
1:16:33
tired of the city support of Israel and he's decided
1:16:36
to place a bomb in City Hall. So that's it.
1:16:39
It might be in the rotunda. I immediately contacted. So
1:16:42
it was about Israel. Wow.
1:16:46
Speaker 3: He made it up. Up here it says that he
1:16:48
used his Google Voice application on his personal cell phone
1:16:51
to place a call to a city-issued cell phone.
1:16:53
Speaker 2: Wow.
1:16:54
Speaker 3: He then left the meeting and called the chief of staff.
1:16:57
Doesn't say why.
1:16:58
Speaker 2: What a fucking idiot.
1:17:00
Speaker 1: I will say Mayor Bassett.
1:17:00
Speaker 2: Is that guy still employed? Find out if that guy's
1:17:03
still employed.
1:17:05
Speaker 1: I would think not. I would imagine.
1:17:08
Speaker 2: Oh, no.
1:17:09
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's going to federal prison.
1:17:12
Speaker 2: Oh, he's facing 10 years?
1:17:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
1:17:14
Speaker 2: I wonder if he has paid leave.
1:17:16
Speaker 1: Probably.
1:17:17
Speaker 3: He's in federal prison.
1:17:19
Speaker 2: Oh, God.
1:17:19
Speaker 1: But notice, he at least, Mayor Bass, with her cell phone,
1:17:23
the whole week of the Palisades fire, she deleted all
1:17:26
her text messages.
1:17:27
Speaker 2: I wonder why.
1:17:28
Speaker 1: Oh, you know, this is, they're like a terrorist cell.
1:17:33
You're breaking burner phones.
1:17:35
Speaker 2: How the fuck are you even allowed to do that?
1:17:37
Former L.A. deputy mayor sentenced to probation and $ 5, 000 fine.
1:17:41
That's it. Just probation.
1:17:45
Speaker 1: Well, in his defense, his mayor was spending... I think
1:17:48
she went to Cuba 30 times to learn how to
1:17:51
build bombs and bomb America when she was part of
1:17:53
the Veniziaramos Brigade. How old was she when that was happening? 1920.
1:18:01
And she never, ever said she had any problem with
1:18:03
being like a Cuban communist terrorist until Biden was going
1:18:08
to pick her as VP. And then they made her say,
1:18:11
I denounce that I was... trying to blow up the
1:18:15
Capitol with my terrorist cell when I was younger. But
1:18:19
for all those years, she never said anything. When Fidel
1:18:22
Castro died, she said something like, rest in peace, El Comandante. What? Yes.
1:18:28
Speaker 2: No way.
1:18:29
Speaker 1: Yes, but you can find it. And then it gets
1:18:31
even better. Oh, but hey, guys, relax.
1:18:34
Speaker 2: Williams was just suffering from stress and anxiety when he called.
1:18:37
Speaker 1: In the threats. Oh, poor guy.
1:18:40
Speaker 2: No big deal.
1:18:40
Speaker 1: Poor guy. Overworked. Stress and anxiety.
1:18:43
Speaker 2: And somehow or another, it was about Israel.
1:18:45
Speaker 1: Not to mention these people would just get away with
1:18:49
all of this. this. They keep getting away with it.
1:18:51
That's the problem with the media. What I've learned from
1:18:53
being part of the television world. You notice, why do
1:18:58
they let the mayor and the city councils get away
1:19:01
with all of, you know, talking about this? At the
1:19:03
end of the day, that's their talent. It's like a
1:19:06
soap opera. They got to keep filming with the mayor
1:19:10
and the city council. If they just air them out,
1:19:12
they're not picking up the call. It's like a production.
1:19:15
Speaker 2: Exactly. They don't have content anymore.
1:19:17
Speaker 1: Exactly. So the local news needs to like keep it. Right.
1:19:21
Speaker 2: Right. They don't have access anymore.
1:19:23
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's why I'm like, why? Because I talk
1:19:25
to these people off camera and they're all like.
1:19:27
Speaker 2: Like an organized crime organization.
1:19:29
Speaker 1: They're like, please, you know, I'm like, why aren't you,
1:19:32
you know.
1:19:33
Speaker 2: It's organized crime. I mean, it's like they pay people off.
1:19:37
They've got little deals. You wash my back. I wash yours.
1:19:42
Come on. Yeah.
1:19:43
Speaker 1: And so thankfully, these people are like, aren't you scared
1:19:46
of these people? I'm like, what are they going to
1:19:48
burn my house down again? Are they going to burn
1:19:49
my mom's house down again? So it gives you like
1:19:52
a confidence. What are they going to do?
1:19:55
Speaker 2: The crime in Los Angeles, when you talk to average people,
1:19:58
like the people that I know that live there, they're
1:20:00
fucking terrified. They say break-ins are just commonplace now where
1:20:03
they used to be very rare. You get home invasions constantly.
1:20:08
I mean Ted Sarandos, his mother-in-law was killed in a
1:20:10
home invasion. And they're happening all the time. It's because
1:20:14
there's no police response and they know there's not going
1:20:17
to be a police response. So more people are hiring
1:20:20
private security agents. It's very difficult to get a gun
1:20:23
or at least a concealed carry permit. It's very difficult.
1:20:26
Speaker 1: In defense of L.A. County Sheriff and LAPD, they have
1:20:31
gotten better at CCWs now because of the law.
1:20:35
Speaker 2: Because of the crime. It's not the sheriff's fault. The
1:20:38
sheriff wants it.
1:20:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they don't have the staff even to process it.
1:20:41
So it just takes up to a year. But I
1:20:44
know they all, that's the thing. I talked to so
1:20:46
many sheriffs, so many LAPDs, so many firefighters. Everybody is
1:20:50
just broken. Their spirits are broken. Why are we doing this?
1:20:55
Why don't we just go to Newport Beach or Huntington?
1:20:59
Speaker 2: Or Florida. Yeah. Just leave the state.
1:21:02
Speaker 1: What am I doing? They keep saying.
1:21:03
Speaker 2: Well, this is the thing that Newsom always chimes in
1:21:05
about how much money California brings in, how much many
1:21:08
venture capitalists are in California, how much money in tech
1:21:12
is in California.
1:21:13
Speaker 1: Right.
1:21:14
Speaker 2: But it has nothing to do with your government. It
1:21:17
has in spite of your government, they're doing that.
1:21:22
Speaker 1: And they're leaving. Hollywood. was the greatest thing, the amount
1:21:25
of money Hollywood made for Los Angeles, from the grips,
1:21:29
to the camera operators, to the glam people, to the costume.
1:21:33
People don't understand, like, you know, people hate like, oh, Hollywood,
1:21:37
you know, stupid movie stars are so rich. they forget
1:21:41
about the ecosystem that connects to that, say Tom Cruise,
1:21:45
that makes them, the amount of money is gone. And
1:21:48
for instance, just last week, they finally got Baywatch to
1:21:51
come back to LA. Baywatch starts shooting for like two
1:21:54
days and then they kick them off the beach. There's
1:21:56
all these permit problems. So I write a sub stack
1:22:00
calling this out, calling out the mayor, next thing you know,
1:22:03
They come back and the mayor makes a deal. What's
1:22:06
funniest thing right now is whatever I post and do,
1:22:09
the mayor is now doing, like I said the other day,
1:22:12
I'm getting rid of the whole fire commission. This fire
1:22:14
commission has been there for like 10 years, I think.
1:22:17
After I do this post or whatever, boom, four out
1:22:19
of five of the fire commission resign. So they're trying
1:22:22
to just get ahead of all the things of what
1:22:24
I'm saying, which is fun because already I'm like the mayor.
1:22:27
So this is great.
1:22:29
Speaker 2: Well, it's also they can't possibly do enough without completely
1:22:33
undermining their entire organization. They're always going to have so
1:22:36
much fraud and waste that your case will always be solid.
1:22:40
There's no way. There's no they would have to literally
1:22:42
like tank everything they're doing that got them into position.
1:22:46
Speaker 1: And if they talk about how much of a failure,
1:22:49
then they're definitely not keeping their job.
1:22:51
Speaker 2: Right.
1:22:52
Speaker 1: Which is, that's the problem with all of, they're all
1:22:54
in a, ready for this, the lady, Janice Quinones, that
1:22:59
was in charge of the LADWP, that drained, so in
1:23:04
the Pacific Palisades, there was the San Yanez Reservoir. It
1:23:07
had 117 million gallons of water. When it was created,
1:23:11
the engineer, he's on the cover of LA Times back
1:23:14
in the day, and he's talking about he built this
1:23:16
for wildfire protection. Now, in their defense, the city and
1:23:20
LADWP says, that was drinking water. No one was drinking
1:23:24
this water, I promise you. So there was a tear
1:23:27
on this drinking water, allegedly the firefighting water. So they
1:23:31
drain the entire city. because of a little tear that
1:23:36
would have cost $ 120, 000 to repair for over a year.
1:23:37
This woman was making $ 750, 000 a year as the head
1:23:38
of LADWP, twice her predecessor that Mayor Bass brought in.
1:23:51
Keep in mind, if you make that much money, do
1:23:53
you know what the people below her are making? 500, 400, 600.
1:23:57
These people get so much money and they spend over
1:24:00
a year to fix a tear and it's back to
1:24:03
the mafia thing. Oh, I'm sure it's like, oh, we
1:24:05
got to use this contractor because we don't have an
1:24:07
open bid. Oh, that's too cheap. Who knows the conspiracy
1:24:11
to why they didn't tear it? So while that's drained...
1:24:14
next door to my house that i watched weekly that
1:24:17
the local lafd would do training they'd hook up to
1:24:20
it i had a five million gallon reservoir for firefighting
1:24:24
so while they're doing that one they're like oh we
1:24:25
should fix this one too they drain that one and
1:24:29
they're like oh we drained it when we refill it
1:24:32
there's some issues we can't refill it They leave two
1:24:35
reservoirs empty. Rewind what I told you. In a season
1:24:39
that's the driest ever, that they've actually had a fire,
1:24:43
I think in 2019, where there wasn't water in the reservoir.
1:24:48
And thankfully there was no wind. And they had to
1:24:50
drive water tenders up onto the hillside for the helicopters
1:24:54
to dip. Because that's the key. What people don't understand is.
1:24:57
Speaker 2: Like, oh, this.
1:24:58
Speaker 1: Nothing could have stopped this fire, you know, people that
1:25:01
defend these people. If the reservoir had the water in it,
1:25:05
the helicopters, these $ 17 million helicopters that Newsom loves to
1:25:08
do the photo shoots in front of, how fast they are,
1:25:11
would have had to fly less than 30 seconds from
1:25:14
the origin of the fire again when the winds were
1:25:17
fine for six hours ago. in the initial thing, but instead,
1:25:20
those helicopters had to fly all the way to Malibu
1:25:23
to Pepperdine College and all the way to Encino to
1:25:26
get the water for the helicopters to fly all the
1:25:28
way back to where the fire was next door to
1:25:31
where the empty reservoir is. So they spent 66% of
1:25:34
their time not fighting the fire, going to get the water.
1:25:39
So it's back to like why I say it's Chinatown.
1:25:43
We have this LADWP that these people get all this money.
1:25:47
They increase everyone's rates. This year, everyone's rates went up 11%.
1:25:52
They're going to go up 7% annually for no reason.
1:25:55
You're not getting alkaline water out of it. I'm convinced
1:25:58
we used to joke like, oh, there's fluoride in the water.
1:26:01
How much fentanyl is in our damn water right now?
1:26:03
I mean, we're not getting better water for that 7%
1:26:06
increase rate. They're doubling everyone's trash, even though the entire
1:26:12
city has more trash. I talked to this guy, Juan
1:26:15
from Clean LA. He goes around, he's from Ecuador. He
1:26:18
does these Mingas where he moved here from Ecuador and
1:26:21
he said it's the dirtiest thing he's ever seen his
1:26:23
whole life. So he just started cleaning up trash and
1:26:25
posting it. And now people will give him GoFundMe money
1:26:28
and he cleans more of the city than the city.
1:26:30
And I had him on my podcast. I said, what's
1:26:32
the problem here, Juan? And he said, people don't care, Spencer.
1:26:36
And I said, so I'm mayor, I hire you. Are
1:26:38
we going to get the city clean? He's like, Spencer,
1:26:40
they want a billion dollars next year for the trash.
1:26:44
He's like, I can do this for easy, $ 500 million.
1:26:46
I said, okay, you're hired, Juan. I said, what are
1:26:48
we going to do with that? He said, we got
1:26:49
to fire all these people, Spencer. They don't care. He said,
1:26:53
it's dirtier than any third world country he's ever been.
1:26:56
So they're doubling our trash rates. They're doubling our sewage.
1:27:00
So more money, more money. It's back to... Taxes. Oh,
1:27:05
the rich need to give more. If the quality of
1:27:08
life just keeps getting worse and worse, why would anybody
1:27:12
with money stay in California or Los Angeles when they
1:27:16
know the fraud, the waste, the corruption? People that are rich, billionaires,
1:27:21
whoever they are, if the city lights all work, right now,
1:27:24
the two mayors I'm running for let go. Do you
1:27:27
know about the copper theft? There's no working lights in
1:27:30
the city of LA because they got rid of the
1:27:32
copper task force because they obviously can't fund the LAPD.
1:27:35
So they let everyone steal all the copper. So everything's
1:27:38
dark in the whole city. So Mayor Bass goes last
1:27:41
week and makes a press conference. I solved it. I'm
1:27:44
going to spend $ 200 million and we're going to do
1:27:46
solar power lights. You think these thieves aren't going to
1:27:49
then pivot to stealing solar batteries and slinging those? No,
1:27:53
we got to stop the criminals. The best video right now,
1:27:56
I think, there's a couple of good ones. This Nithya Raman,
1:27:58
the democratic socialist who's running for mayor, she is asked
1:28:03
about all the Cadillac converters that are being stolen. She said, well,
1:28:06
Toyota is making these too easy to steal. It's like
1:28:09
leaving your MacBook on the front seat. This is real talk.
1:28:14
I'm not kidding. It's Toyota's fault.
1:28:16
Speaker 2: Toyota's fault that people are stealing catalytic converters.
1:28:19
Speaker 1: Yes. That's hilarious.
1:28:22
Speaker 2: Every fucking car has a catalytic converter that just sits underneath.
1:28:25
You can just saw off the exhaust and take it out.
1:28:27
If you know anything about cars, it's not fucking Toyota.
1:28:30
It's every car.
1:28:31
Speaker 1: Oh, here's another great one of her lines. She's at
1:28:35
our city council meeting. She's the city council member. All
1:28:37
these moms and parents are saying, we don't want... these
1:28:40
encampments where there's two known gangs selling fentanyl through holes
1:28:44
in the tents. The zombies are everywhere. These parents are saying,
1:28:48
we don't want these encampments, which are illegal. They're asking them.
1:28:52
the city council member, to enforce the law. And she
1:28:55
argues with the parents and says, there's no difference if
1:28:57
the encampment's one foot or 500 feet from the school.
1:29:01
All the parents boo her and she goes, whatever, and
1:29:04
rolls her eyes. These are the people that are going
1:29:08
to show up and vote for me. These moms and
1:29:10
these dads.
1:29:10
Speaker 2: That are done. There's a giant amount of people in
1:29:13
California that have been red-pilled that just realize, like, whatever
1:29:18
you thought your government was, when you thought you were
1:29:21
voting for a progressive, kind, compassionate government, that is a
1:29:27
sheep outfit over a wolf. It's not what you have.
1:29:31
It's not what you're getting. What you're getting is organized crime.
1:29:33
What you're getting is organized crime that is using this
1:29:36
filter of compassionate, caring, inclusive government. And it's not real.
1:29:43
It's not real. What you're getting is more homeless, more crime,
1:29:46
more murder, more chaos. More, maybe not more murder, maybe.
1:29:50
Speaker 1: It's more shootings.
1:29:51
Speaker 2: Almost murder, almost murder. Yeah, maybe more shootings and stabbings,
1:29:54
but better medical care is keeping them alive. But the
1:29:57
idea that crime is down, it's like anecdotally, you ask
1:30:01
anybody in L.A., they would not agree to that. Most
1:30:03
people think crime is up. Home invasions are fucking ubiquitous.
1:30:07
It's everywhere.
1:30:08
Speaker 1: So I spoke with these SWAT guys the other day,
1:30:10
and I said— You know, are you guys having a
1:30:12
lot of, you know, gang standout? He said, actually, no,
1:30:15
the gang's business as usual. They know when we show
1:30:18
up that, you know, the hands up, they're going to
1:30:21
get out in the week. They're professional. They're just for
1:30:23
the money. He says our biggest call outs now are
1:30:26
mental health, you know, episodes that. the person doesn't know
1:30:31
where they are or whatever. And I said, but what
1:30:33
about all these like home invasion crews and that are
1:30:36
coming in, robbing everyone's house. He goes, there's nothing we
1:30:39
could do. He says, these people all know they're getting
1:30:42
out in two weeks. I said, what do you mean?
1:30:44
Is that a felony? They're coming in with guns? He said, nope.
1:30:47
You can go break into a house with a gun
1:30:50
while people are there, families, rob them, tie them up,
1:30:54
and get out.
1:30:55
Speaker 2: Not only that, if you shoot those people while they're
1:30:58
in your house, you'll be prosecuted.
1:30:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta prove you were fearing for your life.
1:31:02
Speaker 2: You're supposed to leave your house rather than defend your
1:31:06
house against people with weapons that enter your house.
1:31:09
Speaker 1: I personally would advise to lock yourself in a Closet
1:31:14
and have your firearm and have a strong point.
1:31:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, but even that like what you're gonna just let
1:31:20
someone break into your house and steal your childhoods Whatever
1:31:25
whatever they're stealing whatever it steal your fucking jewelry and
1:31:29
you have to heirlooms and whatever you've worked your whole
1:31:32
life to earn Yeah, that's fucking insane It's insane and
1:31:37
the fact that you have this no cash bail situation.
1:31:40
You're just letting these people out on the street. I
1:31:42
that are violent criminals, repeat offenders. It's like, if you
1:31:45
wanted to destroy LA, that's how you would do it.
1:31:48
Speaker 1: They're doing it. And that's why I get so, my
1:31:51
hardest thing every day now is just staying not too
1:31:54
pumped up because now that I'm in this fight and
1:31:57
I have all the messages all day long, everywhere I
1:31:59
go on the street, people, Old ladies hugging me, crying, like, please,
1:32:03
I'm scared. The pressure I feel to get in here
1:32:07
and just undo this, unplug this. And I met with
1:32:10
a lot of business owners, and they said, the mayor,
1:32:13
the city council, they all know what needs to be done,
1:32:16
but they don't want to push the buttons. Somebody needs
1:32:19
to just come in and push the button. If there's
1:32:21
one thing I know, I will push these buttons and
1:32:24
we're gonna get the city under control because it just
1:32:26
starts with enforcing the law. So I have a deputy
1:32:29
mayor that I can't say who he is because of
1:32:31
fear of retaliation at this point, because of issues with
1:32:35
the city right now who's in power. But this deputy
1:32:37
mayor who will help me enforce the law made it
1:32:40
very clear. Once you start enforcing the law, criminals leave.
1:32:44
They know, oh, the gig's up. They will go somewhere else.
1:32:48
Once you start making arrests, People will leave this idea. Oh,
1:32:52
there's no room in the jails. Where are you going
1:32:54
to put all these people? Once you start enforcing law,
1:32:56
they will leave. And it's as simple as that. He
1:32:59
was suggesting for two weeks, you go around the city,
1:33:02
you put up signs, no more fentanyl at the park,
1:33:05
no more open drug use, no more encampments. You have
1:33:09
two-week countdown. You tell everybody, you give them a warning.
1:33:11
So if you want to leave in advance, you know,
1:33:14
most of these people, which is what I hear the
1:33:16
most from law enforcement, are not from Los Angeles. They
1:33:19
have been flown in, bussed in, back to the business.
1:33:23
There's a body business where they bring homeless people to
1:33:27
the city to make the money off them. They're from
1:33:29
all over the country. They're brought here because this is
1:33:32
the epicenter where they're making all the money.
1:33:35
Speaker 2: So you don't think.
1:33:36
Speaker 1: These NGOs, when they hear Spencer Pratt's the new mayor,
1:33:39
he's got the IRS criminal investigation team, they're going to
1:33:42
take this scam, I'm sorry, to other states and cities.
1:33:45
The show's going to go on the road, and they're
1:33:46
going to open up shop where there's a mayor that
1:33:49
lets this go down, and it will stop in LA.
1:33:51
And this trickle-down effect, when restaurants don't have zombies in
1:33:55
front of them, you can go back to having... Outdoor
1:33:58
seating because it doesn't smell like human poop. The whole
1:34:00
town smells like, the whole city smells like human poop
1:34:03
and pee. It's crazy. So when you get rid of that,
1:34:07
not to mention, you remember my best plan? Yeah. I'm
1:34:10
bringing in the CDC. Los Angeles love the white suits
1:34:13
and during COVID, they love CDC. I'm bringing in the
1:34:18
CDC because do you know how much typhoid and medieval
1:34:21
diseases are in these encampments that nobody's swabbing? Mayor Pratt
1:34:25
is bringing the CDC and we're going to swab all
1:34:27
of them. And once we get those test results back,
1:34:30
I promise you the federal government will be shutting down
1:34:33
streets with white tents everywhere. and hosing things down with chlorine,
1:34:38
God knows what, because people are living in the sewers.
1:34:41
I don't know if you saw last week, that lady
1:34:43
pops out of the sewer, that Juan from Clean LA
1:34:46
did a video, it went viral. She was living in
1:34:49
the sewer, the whole full thing. What is, with poop
1:34:55
and pee, you know what type of diseases are going
1:34:57
on in there? CDC will clean these streets. Again, people
1:35:01
are like, oh, Spencer's not gonna have the resources. With
1:35:03
the Olympics coming, We have Homeland Security, we got DEA.
1:35:09
Another thing, we're just letting, I talked to the dog
1:35:11
rescue people, they say you stand on Skid Row or
1:35:13
any street in LA, you can watch the drug dealers
1:35:16
just pulling up in Escalades, Teslas, all the nicest cars,
1:35:20
just slaying, no problem. Mayor Pratt, DEA's coming in. ATF,
1:35:26
we have so much funding when you bring the feds
1:35:29
in to enforce the law to get the streets ready
1:35:32
for the Olympics. The current administration, they want to play pretend,
1:35:35
get that money to launder. Oh, we need that billion dollars.
1:35:39
We'll clean the streets. No, no, no. You come do it.
1:35:41
Speaker 2: Help me out.
1:35:42
Speaker 1: So it's not like I won't be able to do this.
1:35:44
And people, when they hear me say that, they're like, sorry, guy.
1:35:47
Speaker 2: So let's.
1:35:49
Speaker 1: We haven't even talked jujitsu. Are we going to put
1:35:52
on geese or what?
1:35:54
Speaker 2: Let's talk about day one. So day one, realistically, what
1:35:59
can you do and how do you implement all these
1:36:02
ideas that you have?
1:36:04
Speaker 1: So right now, what I've learned is all the smartest,
1:36:07
brightest people would never want to come work in L.A.
1:36:09
because they know any of their ideas are not going
1:36:12
to be used. The system is in play. The amount
1:36:14
of private industry, like, for instance, a CEO's house burned
1:36:20
down who sold his company to Warren Buffett. We're talking big,
1:36:25
legit CEO. He said, I'll come in. I'll work for
1:36:28
a dollar a year. You know, there's people like this
1:36:31
that want to get L.A. back, that I'm going to
1:36:33
surround myself. People like Rick Caruso. He wants to get building.
1:36:38
You lean on these people that they talk about it.
1:36:40
They just don't want to go into this toxic environment
1:36:43
that you can't. It's a cartel. They know there's only
1:36:46
so much they can do unless there's a mayor like
1:36:48
me that's going to let them do it. I just
1:36:50
got a phone with Steve Moscow. He was the mayor.
1:36:52
president of multiple studios, Sony. I'm going to bring him
1:36:56
in with an Avengers team for Hollywood, how we clean
1:36:59
up all these permit issues and get Hollywood back and
1:37:03
make the incentives. My idea is literally not charge. You
1:37:06
want to shoot in LA?
1:37:07
Speaker 2: We need.
1:37:09
Speaker 1: we're going to charge you. We need work. And then
1:37:12
we can, in six years, we can come back and
1:37:14
worry about that, but bring the business back. So meeting
1:37:17
with the Ted Sarandos, putting these actual commissions, not to mention,
1:37:21
I already met with the, there's the community budget advocates.
1:37:25
They're like LA budget experts. They presented seven budget initiatives
1:37:30
to Mayor Bassett and do one. I'm going to do
1:37:32
all seven. These type of budget things where you don't just,
1:37:36
increase all these payments to city unions or whatever with
1:37:39
if the budget doesn't have the money there's going to
1:37:42
be a commission that looks everything publicly for 30 days
1:37:46
right now it's just her cao it's like having your
1:37:48
accountant and and check your taxes like from the irs
1:37:51
it's all we need to have outside independent people checking
1:37:56
all this stuff so it's more of again i'm talking
1:37:59
with chief garcia who's retiring who's the goat firefighter to
1:38:02
be one of my deputy to be one of my
1:38:05
deputy mayors of fire and public safety, not a deputy
1:38:08
mayor that calls bomb threats into the city. So just
1:38:11
using experienced people that want to get LA and surrounding myself.
1:38:15
One thing I know I have is common sense. Now,
1:38:19
all the things that I need, the professionals, you bring
1:38:22
them in and they'll want to work with me because
1:38:23
they know they hear my message. Oh, he's gonna undo
1:38:26
all this you're telling me for $ 750, 000 I couldn't find
1:38:31
a better LADWP CEO to make sure there's waters in
1:38:36
the reservoir figure out how to get rates down we
1:38:38
have plenty of money we're paying these jobs we're clearly
1:38:41
not getting the proper talent obviously look at the city.
1:38:45
Speaker 2: So getting talent that's ideologically aligned Yeah, exactly. And it's
1:38:50
a part of this whole cartel.
1:38:51
Speaker 1: Exactly.
1:38:52
Speaker 2: And they know what they're doing. They know the game.
1:38:54
They play the game. They listen to whatever the top
1:38:57
dogs say, and they follow business as usual, and the
1:39:01
money keeps getting moved around.
1:39:02
Speaker 1: To the point where I can poach talent from other
1:39:05
major cities that are successful at these jobs. I can
1:39:09
pay them more clearly than other. But you'd be like, wow,
1:39:12
you did this here? Come out to L.A. Don't worry.
1:39:15
The zombies will be gone by the time you get here.
1:39:17
But there are these people. There's tons of cities around
1:39:21
America that don't look like L.A. This is not some
1:39:25
rocket science I have to figure out.
1:39:26
Speaker 2: You're in one of them right now.
1:39:29
Speaker 1: There we go.
1:39:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, drive around Austin. There's a homeless problem, but it's minor.
1:39:33
It's very small in comparison to Los Angeles.
1:39:36
Speaker 1: Again, there will be homeless problems always.
1:39:39
Speaker 2: Everywhere, always.
1:39:41
Speaker 1: But the drug addiction, crime, where they run the streets,
1:39:45
that's a problem that can be fixed.
1:39:46
Speaker 2: And encampments can be fixed. Look at what they did
1:39:49
in San Francisco when Xi Jinping was visiting San Francisco.
1:39:53
And Gavin Newsom literally said, when someone comes to your
1:39:57
house to visit, You clean up your house. How about
1:40:01
just keep your fucking house clean? Like, what are you saying?
1:40:04
If you have the resources to clean it up when
1:40:06
a foreign dignitary comes into town, why don't you just
1:40:09
keep your town clean?
1:40:10
Speaker 1: And we're the ones that own the house, the taxpayers.
1:40:13
We already pay to keep the house clean. Back to
1:40:17
Newsom and fires. One of the things we need to
1:40:18
touch upon, back to climate change and him going to Munich,
1:40:22
and he talks about the fires, it's 365 days a year,
1:40:24
it's climate... That's interesting for somebody whose fire service, the
1:40:31
Cal Fire, he only pays them seasonal. When the Palisades
1:40:34
fire hit, most of the Cal Fire was down for
1:40:38
the season. If it's a 360 forest, and that's why
1:40:41
the only reason Brentwood exists and didn't burn all the way,
1:40:45
just like the Palisades, is that Chief Garcia, he was
1:40:48
ready with the U.S. Forest Service because he fought the
1:40:51
feds to make sure he has a real fire service
1:40:53
that's 365 because he understands it could pop off whenever.
1:40:57
So he had all his tankers and helicopters. They came
1:41:01
to Palisades and saved the day. So this idea, they
1:41:04
just talk, talk. Oh, I spend all this money on
1:41:07
all these things. But then you don't. And then he
1:41:09
cut their salaries. I mean, we could do a whole
1:41:12
episode on Newsom. I got to stay focused.
1:41:14
Speaker 2: And it's back to— It's amazing that that guy thinks
1:41:17
he could be president.
1:41:18
Speaker 1: Not when I'm mayor of L.A. because I'm going to
1:41:20
cook him.
1:41:20
Speaker 2: I just don't understand how anybody could think that he
1:41:23
would do a good job. He ruined San Francisco. Then
1:41:26
he ruined California and now he wants to ruin the country.
1:41:30
Like what– how the fuck do they think– because he
1:41:33
talks well and he doesn't even talk well. He just
1:41:36
talks well for people that are in that position. There's
1:41:40
just a lot of people that talk way better than
1:41:42
him that aren't interested in the job.
1:41:44
Speaker 1: Well, that's what we need to get past. And the audience,
1:41:46
the taxpayers, audience, whatever you want to call them, we
1:41:49
need to stop falling for performative politics. The mayor in LA,
1:41:53
she's so good at it. She gets everyone riled up
1:41:56
like she's Che Guevara fighting for freedom, but she can
1:41:59
do nothing. She literally, as mayor, cannot stop anything with
1:42:03
the federal government. It's all just an act. And same
1:42:06
with Newsom. They're like social media influencers. Do your job.
1:42:11
We're paying our tax money for you to make sure
1:42:14
our houses don't burn down, zombies aren't attacking our families.
1:42:18
on the way to school, everything that's the basic quality
1:42:21
of life, you're failing at, but what you're good at
1:42:24
is just yelling on social media. And that was back
1:42:26
to why I ran, because I didn't want to be
1:42:27
one of these, they're just yappers. It's yap, you don't
1:42:31
do anything.
1:42:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's refreshing. It's refreshing seeing something, but I
1:42:37
think this is how it has to be done. I
1:42:38
think it has to be someone from the outside, that
1:42:42
all these people that have a career in politics, They
1:42:45
know what feathers they can't ruffle. They know that if
1:42:49
you want to make it, you have to be aligned
1:42:51
with whatever the party's doing. And if you go against them,
1:42:54
you get in trouble. And everyone knows this. So they
1:42:58
all just sort of stay the course and hope that
1:42:59
their time comes, hope that they'll look the right way
1:43:03
and say the right things. And somehow or another, it'll
1:43:06
allow them to elevate their career and become a mayor
1:43:10
somewhere or become a governor somewhere.
1:43:12
Speaker 1: Well, if you look, smart people will come up to
1:43:14
me and they'll be like, you're doing what the founders
1:43:16
of America wanted. Real people, part of the communities getting
1:43:21
into politics, not this job where I'm going to do
1:43:24
this for 30. It was supposed to be your neighbor,
1:43:29
somebody who understood what everyone was going through.
1:43:31
Speaker 2: Exactly.
1:43:32
Speaker 1: And I feel that. And again, I'm going in there
1:43:35
to stop these people. I don't have a new utopia
1:43:39
of what L.A. should be. I want L.A. back. I
1:43:42
want the LA I grew up in. I want my
1:43:44
two sons to be able to, once we win all
1:43:46
our lawsuits against Gavin Newsom and his state park, to
1:43:49
rebuild in the Palisades and grow up in the city
1:43:53
of LA that I grew up in, that you could dream.
1:43:57
Speaker 2: Have you thought about a timeline of how all these
1:44:00
ideas that you have, like how long it'll take to
1:44:02
actually implement them?
1:44:05
Speaker 1: Once you start enforcing the law, things are going to
1:44:07
move quick. It's... It's as simple as, okay, I'm mayor
1:44:12
of LA. I got my new, my new deputy mayors.
1:44:15
We have my new police commissions. We're going around and
1:44:18
we're just arresting people. And the people that aren't getting arrested,
1:44:22
we're getting to mandatory medical treatment. And we're just going
1:44:25
to start clearing the streets, clearing the encampments. And then
1:44:28
from that, it just, everything's going to come to, first off,
1:44:32
imagine the communities, like how pumped people are going to
1:44:35
be in these neighborhoods when I come in and I'm like,
1:44:39
this is done.
1:44:40
Speaker 2: What is this other person, this Democratic Socialist lady, what
1:44:44
is her solution to all these problems, crime, homelessness, all
1:44:48
these things? What is she saying? Is she admitting that
1:44:51
there are issues? And does she have a solution that
1:44:54
she's proposing?
1:44:57
Speaker 1: She just posted it yesterday. I didn't read it. Somebody
1:44:59
just tagged it. It was so funny. One of the
1:45:01
quotes was, we're going to have a street medical team.
1:45:05
Street medical team, we already have that. It's called the LAFD.
1:45:08
And they're spending 80% of their calls responding to these overdoses.
1:45:12
And we're also paying for that. No, because they're so
1:45:16
deep in it, they can't say mandatory treatment. Because these
1:45:20
people have rights to die on the sidewalk. They have
1:45:23
rights to attack. So we need more housing. These beds
1:45:26
aren't working. We need to get more beds. So yes,
1:45:29
she needs more affordable beds. It's not working as she's
1:45:33
running it.
1:45:35
Speaker 2: As she's running it.
1:45:36
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:45:36
Speaker 2: So she just wants to keep business as usual, just
1:45:38
with more funds.
1:45:39
Speaker 1: No, she wasn't even running until three hours before the
1:45:42
last where you have to fill it out. But when
1:45:44
everyone saw I was going to win and be the mayor, they,
1:45:48
so the real conspiracy is, is my conspiracy. I don't
1:45:51
know if it's real. that Karen Bass and Nithya are
1:45:54
working together just to block me to make sure, because
1:45:58
it's a jungle runoff. So June 2nd, the top two
1:46:02
numbers go to November. I was 1 billion percent going
1:46:06
to November until one hour before she just pops up
1:46:09
after she'd already endorsed Mayor Bass. They were doing photo
1:46:13
ops together a week before. They're close. Mayor Bass endorsed
1:46:17
this Nithya lady. They're like a team. So two hours
1:46:20
before that last minute where you have to sign to
1:46:23
where they announced the final candidates, she's had a year
1:46:26
to run for mayor or plus you could have announced.
1:46:29
It's just to block me from going to November. But
1:46:31
what they don't understand is people that will vote for
1:46:34
me would never vote for her or Karen Bass. They're
1:46:38
actually picking off their own stats. If anything, what they're
1:46:42
doing is making me the mayor on June 2nd, because
1:46:45
if you have 51% of the vote, I just become
1:46:48
the mayor on June 2nd. And I think they're in
1:46:50
for a big surprise. And they're underestimating how angry everybody
1:46:54
is in the city of L.A. And I think I
1:46:56
become mayor June 2nd and it won't even go to November.
1:46:59
Speaker 2: I think they really are underestimating how angry everybody is
1:47:02
because there's people that I talk to that used to
1:47:05
be just hardcore Democrats, hardcore leftist progressives that are really
1:47:10
saying like in hushed tones, we really need a Republican.
1:47:16
We really need like some no-nonsense Rudy Giuliani person. I
1:47:20
hate to say that. I hate to say it, but
1:47:22
that's what we need. We need someone who's going to
1:47:23
be really tough on crime and clean everything up and
1:47:26
stop all these people from having tents on the street.
1:47:28
There's so many people like that that are just quiet
1:47:31
about it. They don't want to talk about it openly
1:47:33
and publicly because they're afraid of being shamed.
1:47:36
Speaker 1: I grew up in Palisades. I went to Crossroads High School.
1:47:39
I don't think I've ever met a Republican. No, I mean,
1:47:43
for real, like all the people I know, all my
1:47:46
family and friends, everybody I know is a Democrat. And
1:47:49
all the people that are supporting me, all the people
1:47:51
I talk to, they're Democrats. This is not the Democrat
1:47:54
party that's running LA. The other day I posted the,
1:47:58
like the the commandment list of, I think it was 1996,
1:48:02
Bill Clinton's Democratic Party. It looks like what I would
1:48:05
say right now. That's the Democrat. No, this is socialism.
1:48:09
This is communist. This is cartel. This is mafia. This
1:48:14
is not... Democrats love me. They they want all the
1:48:17
same things they want to feel safe.
1:48:18
Speaker 2: It's really amazing how they can hide it but just
1:48:21
pretend to be compassionate they can hide all this money
1:48:25
that they're just siphoning off because it really is just
1:48:28
organized crime.
1:48:29
Speaker 1: Well they say to people there's nothing we can do
1:48:32
that's that's that's right people will be my comment section
1:48:34
be like there's nothing you can do it's like they
1:48:37
are so good at Just keeping this, these people have rights.
1:48:42
First off, it is illegal. This is below people's mind.
1:48:46
It's illegal to live on the sidewalk.
1:48:48
Speaker 2: Right.
1:48:49
Speaker 1: That's a Democrat law. All the laws I want to
1:48:52
enforce are Democrat laws. I am the Democrat law enforcer mayor.
1:48:58
I should be every day. I'm actually excited because I
1:49:02
finally feel like there's hope. Because when your house burns down,
1:49:07
And your mom's crying because her house burned down every
1:49:09
single day. Everyone you know's house burned down. You go
1:49:11
through a dark, just all my tax money. I should
1:49:15
be a millionaire, you know, because I got some big checks.
1:49:19
People always say, oh, he burned all of his money.
1:49:22
They don't understand living in L.A. in the entertainment business
1:49:25
with a manager, an agent, a business manager, your taxes
1:49:29
in L.A., your state taxes, it's very hard to keep
1:49:32
all that money. So they're like, oh, we burned the, no, I, regardless,
1:49:36
the amount of money I put in to the city
1:49:38
of LA and the state, my house should still be here.
1:49:41
So it's very sad moment. And then you start uncovering,
1:49:45
oh no, this is almost strategic. A lot of people
1:49:50
reached out after with the Lahaina and they're like, oh,
1:49:52
they Lahaina'd you. This is a land grab. And I
1:49:54
was like, no, no. And then you start going down,
1:49:56
you're like, I'm not even arguing with these people anymore
1:49:59
because of how the writing was so on the wall.
1:50:03
It's so on the wall, the entire insurance industry dropped
1:50:06
everyone in the Palisades leading up to the fire. It
1:50:08
was that flagrant. There was 70-year-old people, 70-year-old plus. I
1:50:13
talked to 80-year-olds that got dropped by their insurance January 1st,
1:50:18
been paying 40-plus years, didn't even get to re-up, lost everything,
1:50:22
no insurance. If all the insurance companies are dropping an area,
1:50:26
it's very clear that they know what's about to happen.
1:50:30
So your city leaders, your mayor, everybody, your state, they
1:50:34
should be getting ready or saying, oh, wow, everyone's dropping this.
1:50:38
What can we do? Oh, we need to clear the
1:50:40
dead brush. We need to make the water in the
1:50:43
reservoirs there. Just obvious things. So I don't even argue
1:50:46
with the land grab things because here's a crazy thing
1:50:48
that I never did the math for. This hurts. So
1:50:53
your house burns down. You lost everything. Now you got
1:50:56
to buy stuff over again. Now you're paying the city
1:50:59
sales tax. So the people would just let your house
1:51:01
burn down. Now you're giving them tax to rebuy underwear,
1:51:06
rebuy shoes, rebuy. So they're making money now off of
1:51:09
your house burning down. Not to mention. You got to
1:51:13
start buying things to actually maybe if you're lucky, not
1:51:16
only 14 people in 15 months have built a house.
1:51:19
Speaker 2: It's only 14 people have built a new house?
1:51:21
Speaker 1: Let's max out at 16 just to be like, oh, no,
1:51:23
it's 16.
1:51:24
Speaker 2: To be charitable.
1:51:25
Speaker 1: Misinformation.
1:51:27
Speaker 2: Less than 20.
1:51:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, less than 20. Which is crazy.
1:51:30
Speaker 2: And how many houses burnt down?
1:51:31
Speaker 1: 7,000. Wow. So now you got the sales tax.
1:51:36
Speaker 2: God, that's so crazy. That's such a crazy number. 7,000
1:51:40
houses is so crazy.
1:51:41
Speaker 1: What's even crazier is most of these houses burned down
1:51:44
on January 8th, when now there's no wind. And they
1:51:48
just didn't figure out, let's drive water in from all, again,
1:51:53
when you're on Lahaina, you're on an island. I'll start arguing, oh,
1:51:56
it's hard to get resources. When everything's burning down on
1:51:59
January 7th, and you already realize you effed up, and
1:52:02
now you're hearing the fire department saying, all the fire
1:52:04
hydrants are empty, there's no water. It's red alert. Get
1:52:08
enough water tankers from the whole state, every city, drive
1:52:11
in water. I have videos from January 8th of moms
1:52:14
walking in front of my son's elementary school. It's totally there.
1:52:17
My son's preschool, 12 o'clock, totally there. By the afternoon,
1:52:21
all this is gone. Because they didn't bring water in.
1:52:26
It's crazy. So back to the land grab thing. So
1:52:29
for instance, all these properties that burned down, like I said,
1:52:34
it's years of passed down land. family property. So when
1:52:37
you pass that, you pay that old tax rate. Now
1:52:40
these 7,000 dirt lots in the next couple of years,
1:52:44
guess what the new tax rate is. They're going to have,
1:52:46
when somebody buys that and they're now paying 2027, 2028
1:52:48
Pacific Palisades tax rates, not 1970, you know, your grandfather's
1:52:55
tax rate. Cause you know, you've still lived in the house.
1:52:57
So there's, like a hundred plus billion they're going to
1:53:01
make just in taxes. So the idea that, oh, why
1:53:05
would they ever let that happen? You start thinking, oh, well,
1:53:09
they don't care because not only do they make a
1:53:11
lot of money, they can rebuild it. They can try
1:53:14
to put, you know, affordable housing and do this, these complex.
1:53:19
It just gets, it gets fishy.
1:53:21
Speaker 2: It does get weird. Like you don't want to accuse
1:53:23
people of land grabs, but at the very least they're
1:53:27
capitalizing on a tragedy.
1:53:29
Speaker 1: Well, you know the number one buyer right now of
1:53:31
Palisades Dirt Lots? China. No way. Yeah.
1:53:36
Speaker 2: Really?
1:53:37
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, they do it through New Zealand. It's a
1:53:41
New Zealand business owned by the Chinese. It's all movie stuff.
1:53:47
I keep saying to.
1:53:48
Speaker 2: People- Watch the movie Chinatown.
1:53:50
Speaker 1: I watch it once a week just to stay locked in.
1:53:54
But it's- It's exciting because I feel this window of
1:53:59
change where the stars are aligning, where an outsider comes
1:54:03
in and just blows up their whole spot. Not the
1:54:05
way the deputy mayor calls in bomb threats, but energetically.
1:54:10
And so it gives me hope. And then again, if
1:54:13
it goes, if it's not God's plan, my wife is
1:54:16
very on the, you know, prayer warrior, Bible, Jesus spirit. So,
1:54:20
you know, I check in with her and I go,
1:54:22
what's Jesus saying, honey? And, you know, I talk, but
1:54:26
I think she has a better path. And her thing is,
1:54:29
if it's God's will, it's going to go down. And
1:54:32
if not, then I'll probably end up with some of
1:54:35
my former Palestinians that moved to Bentonville, Arkansas. And it
1:54:39
is what it is.
1:54:40
Speaker 2: Well, there could be no doubt that Los Angeles needs
1:54:43
a radical shift. They need a radical change. And it
1:54:47
sounds like that's exactly what you're proposing.
1:54:50
Speaker 1: Big time. And it's exciting, you know, because most people
1:54:53
are scared. They have fear of this system. They have
1:54:56
fear of being attacked. I get why a normal person
1:55:01
that just has a good heart, that's smart, doesn't want
1:55:03
to go into politics. You have the LA Times writing
1:55:06
hit pieces. They got machines to keep the system. You
1:55:10
got the comment sections. You got people making videos. They're
1:55:13
trying to expose bots. You feel that, but... Thankfully, I
1:55:17
have experience from being hated in television for many years.
1:55:23
You know, now the flip is I have so much
1:55:26
love energy. I was able to maintain with negativity for
1:55:29
so many years and just stay in the game because
1:55:31
it was business as usual. And I knew they wanted
1:55:34
a villain on all these shows. I will, you know,
1:55:36
shout out David Foster to put me on this path.
1:55:39
Many years ago, he said, you got to be like
1:55:41
Simon Cowell. And I leaned into that and it worked
1:55:44
for many years. But the point is, Being hated for
1:55:47
so many years, now having so much love, obviously I'd
1:55:51
much rather be loved. Anybody that wants to be loved
1:55:55
is a lot more fun.
1:55:56
Speaker 2: For sure. For sure. Listen, man, I'm voting for you.
1:56:00
I can't vote for you, but I'm rooting for you.
1:56:02
I mean, if I lived in Los Angeles, no question
1:56:05
whatsoever I would vote for you.
1:56:06
Speaker 1: You have time to get one of these affordable beds.
1:56:09
I can probably connect you with one of these beds.
1:56:13
I don't think that's legal.
1:56:14
Speaker 2: I think I'm a Texas resident.
1:56:17
Speaker 1: Okay.
1:56:17
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm a Texas resident.
1:56:19
Speaker 1: Take that back.
1:56:20
Speaker 2: I think I can only vote.
1:56:21
Speaker 1: Well, did you see what they're doing right now with
1:56:23
the cigarettes and the ballots in L.A.? Have you seen this?
1:56:25
Speaker 3: What?
1:56:26
Speaker 1: They caught all these people signing ballots, trading the zombies
1:56:30
for cigarettes.
1:56:30
Speaker 2: Oh, I did see that. I did see that.
1:56:31
Speaker 1: So I need the DOJ, if you're watching, the feds.
1:56:34
Speaker 2: Investigate that.
1:56:35
Speaker 1: No, we need come to L.A. for my election. We
1:56:37
need to make sure we get a real election. I
1:56:40
can't believe we didn't do an hour on Jiu-Jitsu, though.
1:56:42
Speaker 2: That really is gross, what they're doing with giving people
1:56:45
cigarettes to sign up for things.
1:56:47
Speaker 1: Do you know how many people are like in the
1:56:49
jujitsu game? If you don't shout me out, like I
1:56:51
need to just like end with like a list of people. No, no,
1:56:54
I'm just kidding. But guys, we didn't talk jujitsu.
1:56:57
Speaker 2: Well, I talk jujitsu so much.
1:56:59
Speaker 1: I know, I know.
1:57:00
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, like flavored nicotine is illegal in Los Angeles.
1:57:05
Just think about how many people are camped out on
1:57:07
the streets, how many people are in tents, open fentanyl use.
1:57:11
You can't buy flavored zins.
1:57:14
Speaker 1: Well, even the cleanest ones that like my health biohacker
1:57:17
friends allegedly may or may not access it.
1:57:20
Speaker 2: You can't have those.
1:57:21
Speaker 1: Like fitness people can't even.
1:57:23
Speaker 2: Like athletic nicotine.
1:57:24
Speaker 1: Peptides are technically, you know.
1:57:26
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, they're working on that nationwide and hopefully that'll
1:57:30
get passed soon. But there's so many regulations in California
1:57:34
that make fucking no sense. Like no sense, particularly in
1:57:38
Los Angeles. They make no sense. And it's just they
1:57:41
just want to keep you like a child. And they
1:57:44
are the people that are supposed to be the overseers
1:57:46
of everybody. And they're looking out for you. And it's gross.
1:57:49
And it's just business as usual. They want to keep
1:57:52
moving in a direction of more regulation, more rules, less rights,
1:57:57
more restrictions.
1:57:59
Speaker 1: One last thing that's speaking is this is so crazy.
1:58:01
Do you know right now in L.A., if you're just
1:58:03
a mom and pop landlord, you know, not they always
1:58:07
like to say landlords are like Cruella de Vil level.
1:58:11
Just like a mom and pop, maybe you own one
1:58:13
apartment building with units. If you have a drug addict,
1:58:16
crazy person living in there, most of them now also
1:58:20
with their Section 8 scammer and Range Rovers, have two cars.
1:58:24
If you want to get them out, they can go
1:58:26
a whole year with not paying these landlords, and then
1:58:29
they have to pay a hundred grand in legal fees
1:58:32
to try to get them out. So then they settle
1:58:34
with this criminal that's just abusing this loophole in this system.
1:58:39
They'll give them 50, 40K to just leave. That person's
1:58:41
not put on any list. And then they go do
1:58:44
it to another apartment building. So a lot of these
1:58:46
apartment buildings, they don't even want to rent out to
1:58:49
people because they can't afford to then have one of
1:58:52
these people. So again, with this housing, and then ready
1:58:55
for this, the city council, if it was not 170 million,
1:58:59
it's 200 million, just gave 170 million to the lawyers
1:59:03
that sue the tenants for these people. But there's no
1:59:06
fun for the tenants to then defend themselves.
1:59:09
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
1:59:11
Speaker 1: It's so crazy. So again, it's about these people coming
1:59:17
around me that are living this nightmare and be like,
1:59:20
how do I help you stop these things? And putting
1:59:22
these people that know the game, Because they're living it.
1:59:27
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:59:27
Speaker 1: And undo it. We've got to stop this.
1:59:29
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad we could help you get your message out.
1:59:33
And I really, really hope it helps. And I really,
1:59:35
really hope you win. It would be fun. It would
1:59:38
be fun to watch you shake it up. And, boy,
1:59:42
if you could really change Los Angeles and turn it around,
1:59:46
I mean, that would be absolutely fantastic. It would be
1:59:50
a great story. It would be really amazing. And it
1:59:52
would give hope to a lot of other cities that
1:59:54
are experiencing it. Similar situations where I think a lot
1:59:57
of other people would follow your path.
1:59:59
Speaker 1: I'm doing it. All right. Give me the game. VoteForMayorPratt.com.
2:00:05
Speaker 2: VoteForMayorPratt.
2:00:06
Speaker 1: There it is. Thank you so much.
2:00:07
Speaker 3: All right.
2:00:08
Speaker 2: Bye, everybody.
