00:00:00.000 In Los Angeles, Spencer Pratt running as a Republican is taking the city by storm with
00:00:06.900 massively viral AI campaign ads and actual campaign ads. People are cheering for this guy
00:00:14.020 who had his home destroyed in the Palisades fire as he's challenging the Democrat establishment
00:00:20.200 machine. Recently, they put out an attack ad and it's hilarious because the attack ad is like,
00:00:27.360 Spencer Pratt doesn't want to spend your tax dollars on housing for homeless people,
00:00:32.580 and he wants more police officers. And people in L.A. are like, yes, OK. And he's called for
00:00:39.780 arresting criminals and drug users, I mean, traffickers. And still, they think this is an
00:00:46.200 attack. But it's not just Spencer Pratt. We're having a good time watching his A.I. videos as
00:00:50.320 he calls out the Democrat machine in California. But it's also at the governor's level with the
00:00:55.800 number one polling candidate being the Republican Steve Hilton. And the best attack they've come up
00:01:01.600 with, he called a Del Taco Taco a street taco. I'm not even kidding. Now, at the governor level,
00:01:08.220 something interesting had happened for a while until they destroyed Eric Swalwell. And that is
00:01:13.140 the two top polling candidates were Republicans, meaning with an open primary, when this goes to
00:01:19.360 the election in November, your choice will be Republican A or Republican B. But with a Democrat
00:01:25.220 machine coming knives out for Eric Swalwell and basically removing him over serious sexual abuse
00:01:31.760 allegations. It's now looking like looking like it's going to be Javier Becerra and Steve Hilton,
00:01:37.960 which means it may actually still go Democrat. But we are seeing an epic fight. Californians
00:01:44.620 rallying behind prominent conservative voices in L.A. and the state as a whole. I got to say,
00:01:52.840 It's pretty dang shocking to see.
00:01:55.220 Well, maybe not surprising, actually, because this state has been so horribly mismanaged.
00:02:01.380 Los Angeles has been so horribly mismanaged that people are breaking and saying enough.
00:02:08.200 And now, while Spencer Pratt doesn't have the prediction markets claiming he is going to win,
00:02:13.140 he is climbing steadily.
00:02:16.060 Perhaps he might be the guy to actually do it.
00:02:19.520 Now, again, I don't want to come out here and just pretend like, oh, boy, Republicans are going to win everything.
00:02:25.220 Things are going to change.
00:02:26.620 But it is interesting to see that in Los Angeles and at the state level, people are standing up and saying enough.
00:02:34.560 There was there still is one big factor, my friends, that we must consider.
00:02:38.880 And that's the Trump factor.
00:02:40.960 You may have seen the news that Donald Trump says he will be deploying an army of election integrity volunteers to make sure that everything is done properly.
00:02:51.580 Could this be the hammer that changes the game for the country and for California?
00:02:57.800 Now, of course, liberals are going to say this is Donald Trump sending in his goon squad to steal an election.
00:03:02.260 The Republicans are saying this is Donald Trump ensuring that Democrats don't steal an election.
00:03:08.980 Either way, Trump's efforts as it pertains to this midterm election will be a massive advantage for Republicans.
00:03:16.800 And thus, could this be the moment they buck the trends, they stand up and California actually switches back, maybe temporarily, maybe for a long time, maybe permanently, switches back Republican?
00:03:31.240 Probably not, but maybe.
00:03:33.280 Seriously, I have to factor in that Trump variable.
00:03:35.620 We can look at the tremendous polling and prediction markets favoring Spencer Pratt, as well as Steve Hilton.
00:03:42.300 And while some people say, yeah, but if things go the way we expect them to, it's going to be Democrat.
00:03:46.560 Except once again, that Trump variable, that Harmeet Dillon DOJ variable, that Voting Rights Act variable could change the game everywhere.
00:03:58.040 So let's dive in and take a look at the latest that's going on with Democrats throwing a Hail
00:04:03.200 Mary in an attempt to stop Republicans from winning the state. Indeed, they're trying to
00:04:08.300 revert their election process to a pre-2010 system to make sure Republicans can't win.
00:04:14.180 Well, how about that? Before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com and join

00:05:12.000 So please go to TimCast.com, stand up, and don't back down.
00:05:16.540 Join us and make some friends while you're at it.
00:05:18.700 Let's jump to the news.
00:05:19.500 We've got this from The New York Post. Terrified Democrats plot massive voting change to stop all Republican governor primary.
00:05:28.980 Indeed, they knew they couldn't muster it up, so they had no choice but to just change the rules.
00:05:36.400 Now, I will throw this in there. I think it's funny.
00:05:38.620 As we're looking at these redistricting battles, Democrats are apoplectic because the Virginia Supreme Court said
00:05:45.500 you can't unconstitutionally eliminate four Republican seats. In the meantime, in many
00:05:51.440 Republican states, they're doing just that and they're winning. Now, I can understand why Democrats
00:05:55.920 are mad. OK, I'm not going to play any stupid games. I think it's silly to play these stupid 1.00
00:06:00.740 games. Guys, this is a battle. This is a culture war. Both sides determined to win. Both sides 1.00
00:06:07.800 justifying what they do and why they do it. Now, you know, my bias, right? I think that
00:06:14.200 Joe Biden started this and it's his own fault. He blocked Texas from their standard redistricting,
00:06:19.620 claiming they were racist. Then when Trump gets in, removes that DOJ lawsuit, allowing Texas in
00:06:25.320 2025 to finally implement their new map. Democrats then say, oh, how dare you? It's 2025. You can't do 0.95
00:06:32.200 that. And then California, Utah, they start making these changes. They claim Republican
00:06:38.500 gerrymandering is an affront, except they've been doing it in blue states forever. The
00:06:45.120 Northeast, which is 30 to 40 percent Republican, has not a single Republican member of Congress.
00:06:51.280 So spare me. But I'm going to say it again. Guys, it's a battle. OK, if you want to win,
00:06:56.700 you are going to do whatever it takes. So Democrats in California saying they're going
00:07:00.280 to change the rules. I'm not surprised in the least. For those that aren't familiar with how
00:07:04.380 it works. It's an open primary. So everybody runs and the top two candidates advance to the general
00:07:09.860 election, to the runoff. The problem is, for a while now, the top two polling individuals were
00:07:16.520 both Republicans. Then the Democrats went knives out for Eric Swalwell. By eliminating Swalwell,
00:07:23.880 the people who were going to back him split their votes among other Democrats, boosting them in the
00:07:27.620 polls, taking Chad Bianco out of the top running. We now see Steve Hilton and Javier Becerra as the
00:07:33.940 top two likely candidates. Indeed, they're not done yet. Democrats are now proposing
00:07:39.280 eliminating the open primary system because, whoopsie, it's going to make all Republicans 0.71
00:07:44.620 the winners. Well, what's really fascinating is how they try to do these schemes to steal
00:07:51.680 elections and they blow up in their faces. Poor Swalwell. Not really, I think he's a bad guy.
00:07:57.420 But let's not forget the interstate, the popular vote interstate compact,
00:08:01.980 where blue states all go to each other and say, pass this law, which says in the event
00:08:08.220 the compact has 270 electoral votes or more, then we activate and whichever presidential
00:08:14.880 candidate wins the popular vote, we give our electoral votes to.
00:08:18.780 The funny thing is, everybody's complaining and has for a while that this would be a Democrat
00:08:23.400 scheme to make sure they always win.
00:08:25.120 And the Democrats laugh saying, so you admit you don't win the popular vote?
00:08:29.960 And they say, well, yeah, it's because most of the people are in your dense blue cities,
00:08:33.360 but I got to push back.
00:08:35.200 I've argued the possibility that because it is true there are more Republicans who don't
00:08:40.440 vote in blue states than Democrats who don't vote in red states, a popular vote system
00:08:45.640 would actually benefit Republicans.
00:08:48.140 California, they say, is two to one Democrat to Republican.
00:08:50.820 But the truth is, many of the Republicans there don't even vote because they feel it's
00:08:54.240 a foregone conclusion.
00:08:56.020 Imagine what would happen if you went popular vote and all of those Republicans lit up and
00:09:00.920 voted.
00:09:02.100 California, which should still, it might be 50-40, I'm sorry, 40-60%, meaning still a
00:09:09.320 Democrat majority, they'd be forced to give their votes to the Republican because the
00:09:12.500 Republicans would start winning the popular vote.
00:09:14.840 None of that matters because with Donald Trump's changes, let me say Trump, but with the Trump
00:09:19.940 administration, the VRA, all of these things, it's looking like it's going to be a Republican
00:09:24.480 majority for some time. Understanding this, that with these Republican districts, this is the
00:09:30.440 electoral college as well. So when they're talking about giving red states plus 12, plus 20 seats,
00:09:38.000 that means the electoral college all the same. And with these states, and we're talking not
00:09:43.940 about redistricting. This is the immigration effort. Internal immigration in the U.S. from
00:09:50.440 blue to red states will give the Republican candidates more easy votes, making it more
00:09:56.600 likely for them to win. But also the deportation issue and removing illegal immigrants from the
00:10:01.920 census is going to eliminate a lot of electoral votes from Democrat jurisdictions. It's going to
00:10:06.460 get interesting. The New York Post says in California, the primaries dubbed the jungle
00:10:11.880 primaries work in a way where two candidates, regardless of party who secure the top two
00:10:15.700 positions in June, advanced to the general election. Now, a newly filed application is
00:10:20.120 to change that. Political consultant Steve Maviglio filed a petition with the state officials
00:10:25.100 last week seeking a return to the pre-2010 traditional primary system, where separate
00:10:29.860 primaries are held for each party and two candidates, one Republican, one Democrat.
00:10:35.400 In a Democrat stronghold, where nearly 50% of registered voters are Democrats compared to 25
00:10:40.180 of independent Republicans, the current system has long been viewed as favoring Democrats. And
00:10:44.880 that's why they did it, really. They thought they couldn't lose. It was extremely scary to envision
00:10:49.240 the November ballot for governor with Republicans on it. Really? Cry more, brother. Cry more.
00:10:55.460 Here's what they did. The only real smear they have against Steve Hilton,
00:10:59.820 California governor candidate destroyed over referring to Del Taco as a street taco,
00:11:04.480 instantly disqualifying. This is the game they're playing. So Steve Hilton goes to Barstow Street
00:11:11.460 Taco, right? It's a Del Taco fast food change, but it's very famous in California. And he says,
00:11:17.380 why am I holding a Barstow street taco right now? Because I just bought it at a historic location.
00:11:22.380 Del Taco opened in 1964 as the chain's first ever restaurant. Here's the thing. They said,
00:11:28.560 that's not a street taco. That's a Del Taco. Looks fantastic, by the way, I might add,
00:11:33.000 and I really do want one. He calls it a Barstow street taco, instantly disqualifying.
00:11:38.100 He protested. It's what they call it. Indeed. This is the game they're trying to play. We all
00:11:44.240 know what a street taco is. They're delicious. They're amazing. Maybe a little dirty, but if
00:11:49.300 you've ever lived in LA and I have, I love the street food so much. You know, they take a cookie
00:11:53.700 sheet, put it on a, on a laundry hamper. And then they put, they put like candles under it to heat
00:11:59.380 it up and they will fry sausages and green peppers and onions. And they will put on a tortilla for
00:12:05.220 you or a bun, or you can get the tacos or shredded beef or whatever, or ground beef. I'm a fan. I
00:12:11.020 love the tamale guys, by the way, too. That's what I really love about Texas and California
00:12:15.000 is that a guy shows up with a cooler and they do it in Chicago. I mean, they do this everywhere
00:12:18.520 hanging out in Chicago and a guy walks in and it's like some like five foot four Mexican guy 0.98
00:12:23.300 being like, hey, we have the tamales for you to bite. And I'm like, let's go. I'm like, 1.00
00:12:29.360 what do you got? El pollo. You know, I love those. And elotes, man, I'm telling you,
00:12:34.960 The point he's making is that OG Del Taco Tacos, they're called the Barstow Street Taco.
00:12:41.540 They're called that.
00:12:42.680 He's not referring to literal street tacos all over the place.
00:12:44.780 He's saying this is what people call it in the area.
00:12:46.600 And that's the best they could do. 1.00
00:12:48.860 It's because he's right.
00:12:50.260 But you know what?
00:12:51.240 Don't take my word for it.
00:12:53.180 Let's take a look at Spencer Pratt, who is taking Los Angeles by storm.
00:12:56.900 Now, I don't know that he's going to win.
00:12:58.440 We got the prediction markets over here.
00:13:00.640 Currently, he's sitting around, what do we got for him?
00:13:03.080 32% likelihood to win.
00:13:04.960 That ain't bad. That ain't bad. Because he's doing a wonderful job, by the way.
00:13:11.960 Karen Bass, Karen Basura, they call her. Basura. For those who don't speak Spanish,
00:13:16.580 that means garbage. He's got his AI videos. They're amazing. Let me pull up. So we've got 1.00
00:13:23.000 Karen Bass. She's backing out of a debate. I mean, this is absolutely nuts. Take a look at this. 1.00
00:13:28.480 Karen Bass cancels appearance at televised L.A. mayoral forum because she knows she can't handle it. 1.00
00:13:36.480 She's got to dip out.
00:13:38.140 Take a look at this.
00:13:39.580 This is this is an attack ad.
00:13:42.680 The L.A. County Federation of Labor has a new committee lined up to go after Spencer Pratt,
00:13:46.940 and they are dropping an initial two hundred twenty one thousand on this video and digital ad.
00:13:52.320 You got to see this.
00:13:53.840 This is one of the most the funniest things ever.
00:13:55.600 Republican Spencer Pratt is the last thing Los Angeles needs for mayor. 0.89
00:14:00.740 Pratt opposes using taxpayer money to build brand new houses for our unhoused neighbors,
00:14:05.800 saying it's time for the homeless to get help or get out.
00:14:09.320 Pratt thinks L.A. needs thousands more police officers rather than more social workers,
00:14:13.960 and Republican Spencer Pratt thinks public employee unions should have less power, not more.
00:14:18.900 L.A. is on the right track and needs to stay the course.
00:14:22.440 Vote no on Republican Spencer Pratt.
00:14:24.460 wait what he says you shouldn't have to buy houses for the homeless wait what so here's
00:14:32.660 the story woke and attacking la mayoral hopeful spencer spencer pratt backfires by making him
00:14:38.220 more desirable and then there's just all of the ai ads that are going viral i want to play them
00:14:44.200 for you but i want to pull up one uh video in particular this is an actual spencer pratt video 0.89
00:14:48.740 There's a, let's see, we've got the daily, look at these, they're clowns.
00:14:53.800 There's a video, Spencer Pratt at the debate. 0.93
00:14:56.920 I want to play this one.
00:14:58.620 Listen to this, and I've got a million and one things to say on this.
00:15:01.240 Treatment first, I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with her, and we can find
00:15:05.540 some of these people she's going to offer treatment for. 0.99
00:15:07.820 She's going to get stabbed in the neck. 1.00
00:15:09.660 These people do not want a bed. 1.00
00:15:12.140 They want fentanyl or super meth.
00:15:14.000 These ideas cost us over $400 million to house 3,000 people for $400 million.
00:15:21.960 This is an absolute failure for both of them.
00:15:24.740 They're a team.
00:15:26.260 He's correct. 1.00
00:15:27.600 She will get stabbed in the neck. 1.00
00:15:29.220 And, man, everybody knows it. 0.99
00:15:32.380 Dude, I lived in L.A. for a few years.
00:15:34.180 I lived there for like, what did I live there for?
00:15:36.940 Two years, then I moved, then I came back for like a year or something like that, I think.
00:15:40.960 I don't know.
00:15:41.420 Lost track of time.
00:15:41.940 But I was there for several years.
00:15:44.000 And I frequent there periodically.
00:15:46.140 And it's beautiful.
00:15:47.440 It's beautiful.
00:15:48.040 It's our most beautiful state.
00:15:48.860 I think it's fair to say. 0.96
00:15:50.080 To be fair, Washington is pretty beautiful, but it's too bad that these woke lunatic commies 0.97
00:15:54.220 are so destructive to it. 0.94
00:15:55.780 I actually worked in the homeless sector.
00:15:58.160 We call it the homeless sector, the homeless industrial complex in L.A.
00:16:01.940 I have tremendous experience with many of the homeless.
00:16:04.240 I met many good people who fell in hard times and they found a way out.
00:16:06.800 But you know what I found?
00:16:08.080 Having worked with these in these circumstances, most of the people who are homeless choose
00:16:13.980 to be. Indeed, they do. And it's funny when I say this because liberals lie. And that's why I say
00:16:19.740 they're evil. These liberal pundits are like, Tim Pool thinks they want to be homeless? Have you ever
00:16:24.000 met these people? I'll tell you stories. There's a guy outside and I asked him his questions. I was
00:16:30.640 like, do you want, is there anything we can get you? And he was like, you got any money? And I'm
00:16:36.560 like, can't give you money. Got clothes, got food. And he's like, I don't know. I'm fine, I guess.
00:16:42.140 maybe some food. What do you got? It's like we have sandwiches. And I asked him, I said,
00:16:46.840 do you want to come to a shelter? You can get cleaned up. You can live there. There's a bed.
00:16:51.600 It's comfortable. It's TVs. You can hang out. And he goes, nope. And I asked him why. And he said,
00:16:56.700 you can't do drugs there. And I'm really paraphrasing. They lock you in. You can't do
00:17:01.560 drugs. It's miserable. It's like jail. They don't want it. Several people told me that they wanted
00:17:07.120 to be homeless. They didn't say, I want to be homeless. They say, I'm happy here. They're like,
00:17:11.520 my friends are over there. I get to do whatever I want. I did meet some people who fell in hard
00:17:17.020 times, who fell in hard times and said, I'm trying to find a way back. And you know what? Those people
00:17:21.220 get out in like a week or two. They go to the shelters. God bless them. And the shelters,
00:17:25.900 both of them. They get cleaned up. They get clean shoes. They get clean clothes. They get a bed.
00:17:31.100 People like that get advanced to long-term shelters where these homeless shelters,
00:17:36.020 and this is where I'll give them credit. They actually own houses, like a five-bedroom house.
00:17:40.620 And I guess you can call it like a halfway house-ish kind of thing for homeless people.
00:17:44.280 So there's a guy.
00:17:45.540 He was working.
00:17:46.460 He didn't have family.
00:17:47.400 He lost his job.
00:17:48.820 He said, I'm trying to get back on my feet.
00:17:50.540 They put him in the shelter.
00:17:51.640 He stayed there.
00:17:52.740 He said, I love.
00:17:53.600 Thank you so much.
00:17:54.380 They said, we don't want you.
00:17:55.440 So one of the shelters, and I'm not going to speak for all of them.
00:17:58.320 It was like a big open room with a bunch of beds.
00:18:00.240 And there was like a bathroom.
00:18:01.400 And he's there for like a week.
00:18:02.800 And they said, we've actually got open rooms in our houses.
00:18:05.780 You can live there.
00:18:06.680 And they'll help you find a job and get food.
00:18:08.960 And he goes.
00:18:09.360 and that's it. Off the streets in an instant with the help of legitimate work from these
00:18:13.540 homeless shelters I respected. The only problem is many of these shelters, they lie. They claim
00:18:17.820 they're full when they're not. People don't want to go there. That story I told you was rare. A lot
00:18:23.260 of these people were on drugs. I watched a fat black woman pull her pants down and defecate in 1.00
00:18:27.960 the middle of the street. These people don't care what you think. They don't live in your world. 1.00
00:18:33.440 Stop projecting on them.
00:18:36.220 And Spencer Pratt is correct.
00:18:37.780 It's time for them to get help or get out.
00:18:41.180 Because the truth is, the people who want help get it.
00:18:43.920 It's there.
00:18:45.380 But see, the thing is this.
00:18:46.800 L.A. has great weather year round.
00:18:49.680 And so people come from all over to go live there, live on the street.
00:18:53.600 They don't care about anything else.
00:18:55.460 So long as you keep providing resources, they'll keep taking it for free.
00:18:58.840 So he's called them out.
00:19:00.380 Now, I don't know if you've seen these videos that he's been sharing.
00:19:05.040 This guy, Charles Curran, has been posting these.
00:19:06.900 He's a filmmaker.
00:19:08.140 And I'll play one for you because if you want to play all of them, you can watch them.
00:19:20.560 Please, I'm begging you.
00:19:22.280 There's homeless drug addicts in front of the schools.
00:19:24.600 My children aren't safe. 1.00
00:19:25.760 look if you were a transgender migrant i could get you a free pussy 1.00
00:19:31.400 let's move the drug addicts closer bass already solved crime i endorse her 1.00
00:19:37.540 next
00:19:38.880 i don't know why the commissioner is joe rogan
00:19:47.520 he doesn't live there anymore
00:19:49.900 please
00:19:55.140 I just want to rebuild my home.
00:19:57.440 It's been over a year.
00:20:02.720 So anyway, what ends up happening is they play copyrighted music,
00:20:05.820 and then they throw tomatoes at Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom
00:20:10.260 while Rubio DJs and everybody runs away.
00:20:14.560 AI is crazy.
00:20:16.660 I mean, it's really getting nuts here.
00:20:19.300 So there's a bunch of these.
00:20:20.760 They're all funny.
00:20:21.620 Spencer Brett actually released a real ad
00:20:24.000 where he talks about his family.
00:20:25.700 They live in a trailer.
00:20:26.820 And the funny thing is,
00:20:28.040 I saw this interview with Spencer Pratt
00:20:29.520 and the guy's like,
00:20:30.660 well, you don't really live in a trailer.
00:20:32.140 And he goes, what do you mean?
00:20:32.720 I live in a trailer.
00:20:33.340 And he's like, well,
00:20:33.900 but you have access to housing.
00:20:35.060 And he's like, no, I don't.
00:20:37.080 He's like, well, you are wealthy.
00:20:37.800 He's like, no, I'm not.
00:20:39.880 His house burned down in the Palisades.
00:20:42.300 Many people lost their homes.
00:20:43.980 And the government has been stopping them
00:20:46.140 from going there,
00:20:47.200 getting their things, rebuilding.
00:20:48.740 It's insane.
00:20:50.580 There's videos of Spencer Pratt
00:20:51.760 with his hummingbird farm.
00:20:52.780 He used to go outside with his kids and he'd hold up those little those little like, you know, gadgets that the hummingbirds can drink from.
00:20:58.340 He made this video for Mother's Day. Mother's Day is every day showing his life, his wife, the work that they've been doing.
00:21:04.320 And they got a trailer now. It's supposed to be temporary.
00:21:08.880 Now, why do you think this guy's mad? But wait, don't worry. The Daily Show can insult him.
00:21:14.080 or Spencer Pratt.
00:21:18.120 Finally, a candidate who makes white women over 40 go, 0.81
00:21:22.120 oh, yeah, that guy. 0.97
00:21:24.120 Ew.
00:21:25.780 In case you don't remember Spencer
00:21:27.580 from the golden age of basic cable reality TV,
00:21:30.500 here's a quick refresher of his consensus-building approach.
00:21:33.640 At the end of the day, I can't change.
00:21:35.020 I can't make you un-my sister.
00:21:36.920 You can't call the brother-sister line and say,
00:21:39.120 hey, I don't want 70 to be my sister anymore.
00:21:41.360 I can't do that. 0.58
00:21:42.640 The phone doesn't work.
00:21:43.480 You're making me cry right now.
00:21:45.240 Stephanie, you're making yourself cry, thinking about what you did.
00:21:48.260 Wah, wah, wah, wah.
00:21:49.440 I don't understand this.
00:21:50.300 What are you crying about, Stephanie? 0.99
00:21:51.400 What the f*** are you crying about? 1.00
00:21:53.720 That's why you're not in my life, you crazy bitch. 1.00
00:21:56.120 Because you come to barbecues and just start crying. 1.00
00:21:58.000 He got my vote right there.
00:21:58.840 I love it.
00:21:59.800 This is what The Daily Show's got going on.
00:22:02.300 What?
00:22:03.860 You know, the weirdest thing.
00:22:05.540 The Daily Show, New York-based, national-level politics,
00:22:09.340 going after Spencer Pratt for mayor of California.
00:22:12.580 Yeah, this is how you know they are threatened by him.
00:22:15.880 Then you've got this next one.
00:22:18.080 This one's funny. 0.97
00:22:18.980 Where Newsom and Karen Bass are clowns. 0.87
00:22:20.820 Look at your policies and see how we're doing. 0.97
00:22:22.120 Look at the AI.
00:22:22.900 This is nuts.
00:22:23.380 First question.
00:22:24.760 Who thinks Mayor Bass did a great job responding to the fires? 1.00
00:22:28.980 Didn't she go to Ghana? 1.00
00:22:31.780 Okay, great.
00:22:32.880 Great feedback.
00:22:33.500 Next question.
00:22:36.220 Who thinks Mayor Bass did a great job with the Palisades rebuild?
00:22:41.380 What rebuild?
00:22:42.580 okay but you agree she's addressed the homeless problem right there's literally 1.00
00:22:47.900 homeless people smoking crack at my kid's playground 0.69
00:22:50.160 ask them about raising their taxes to pay for crack pipes for drug addicts 0.72
00:22:57.400 nobody wants any of this we just want to feel safe our loved ones to be safe regular neighborhood 0.98
00:23:02.540 maintenance common sense fuck pratt's gonna win isn't he we should probably skip the next debate 0.98
00:23:09.480 and she did which is absolutely insane uh then we've got this one yeah this 0.99
00:23:15.360 one is just spencer pratt fighting the evil here
00:23:21.060 you didn't finish burning the city to the ground in your first term
00:23:33.260 make sure you finish the job in your second the only thing that can stop us is someone telling
00:23:38.440 the truth as long as they don't have any hope the city's ours yeah but darth vader is like
00:23:44.640 badass people like him don't make karen bass darth vader oh whatever you get the point and uh what
00:23:50.500 else we have here spencer pratt talking about his uh crackdown you start putting handcuffs on people
00:23:56.180 watch how many people leave 100 this idea that everyone if you let everyone do drugs and do
00:24:03.020 whatever they want and let the criminals make the outside asylum and with no guards if you let them
00:24:08.340 do that. They're going to do that. But if you, so when I'm mayor, my plan is first three weeks
00:24:12.900 signs up across the city, no more nakedness, no more drug use, no more robbing, no worse.
00:24:20.540 No more burning dogs in the street. No more dog abuse. Very on every sign on every part. So that,
00:24:26.580 and we're going to go around, we're going to warn everybody, Hey, got three more weeks of this.
00:24:30.380 Like clock's ticking. Just keep telling everyone just to, so the people that are aware, they're
00:24:35.080 like, oh, wow, there's a new mayor in town, they may start leaving.
00:24:38.900 I don't know if you guys heard the story, but the drug addicts in California will inject
00:24:42.340 their drugs into dogs to make sure it's not tainted because they don't want to die.
00:24:46.000 That's how insane it is.
00:24:48.060 Now, for governor, Javier Becerra is the favorite.
00:24:51.760 Steve Hilton is not projected to win.
00:24:54.480 Tom Steyer, he's a way underdog.
00:24:56.660 Spencer Pratt's actually doing much better, despite the fact I think actually Hilton is
00:25:01.620 a better shot of winning with the structure of the governor's race.
00:25:05.080 as opposed to L.A. mayor.
00:25:06.920 But who knows?
00:25:08.020 There are a lot of people in L.A. who are just fed up.
00:25:10.660 Now, I think the important thing people don't understand is that
00:25:12.420 Los Angeles is a county.
00:25:16.380 The Los Angeles city is, it's actually like a,
00:25:19.280 it's a bunch of other different cities.
00:25:22.240 It'll be interesting, my friends, to see how all of this plays up, plays out.
00:25:27.080 I love this meme.
00:25:28.720 Murray Hill guy says,
00:25:29.460 B. Spencer Pratt, grew up in L.A., go to USC,
00:25:32.040 become Brody Jenner's menace friend on MTV, get cast on the hills, steal Lauren Conrad's friend,
00:25:39.200 marry beautiful Midwestern mid-angel Heidi Montag, become the most hated man on TV,
00:25:44.940 blow millions on fame, crystals, and elite delusion, disappear for a decade, come back as 0.90
00:25:50.480 hummingbird conservative dad, LA turns into tense crime and $22 matcha, everyone who hated you now 0.83
00:25:57.380 looks insane. Chad, run for mayor, somehow become the most normal guy in the race.
00:26:05.980 Seriously, that's what's crazy. The plague is back in California. This is what's absolutely
00:26:14.480 amazing. The plague reappeared in California. Here's how dangerous it is. That's right.
00:26:19.960 medieval diseases plague in la county i love this because la county actually has at their
00:26:28.380 dot gov look at this i'm showing you the url facts about plague in la county plague is a
00:26:34.260 highly infectious bacterial disease which primarily affects rodents humans and their pets
00:26:38.200 i'm sorry says humans and the pets can get plague if they visit or live in areas where wild rodents
00:26:43.080 are naturally infected the disease also may occur in rats that live in close contact with people
00:26:48.160 So L.A., in fact, because there has been an increase or a reappearance of plague in California in the past several years.
00:26:59.540 Indeed, my friends. Indeed.
00:27:02.460 Now, what I can say for our good friends in California is that you can stay the course.
00:27:08.000 You can vote for Karen Bass and have plague.
00:27:11.580 or be offended that Steve Hilton ate at Del Taco
00:27:16.920 and called it a street talk.
00:27:18.400 Seriously, guys, you know, bring in somebody new, okay?
00:27:23.780 Somebody who is going to make a video like this.
00:27:32.580 Is this the house?
00:27:34.440 It is.
00:27:35.320 How do you get it out?
00:27:38.400 I want to go in the air shrink. 1.00
00:27:39.880 Heidi and I have been through hell together no mom should ever have to go
00:27:52.120 through what she's gone through this is where your bedroom was
00:28:14.500 Mama's room right here.
00:28:17.160 Are you okay?
00:28:18.160 No.
00:28:22.920 I think that they're trying to have a good attitude about it
00:28:27.220 but I did see it got her like almost crying up there
00:28:31.960 but they're so happy to be home too.
00:28:34.220 This is my old favorite shovel, Mom.
00:28:37.900 Wow.
00:28:38.740 And it's plastic.
00:28:41.260 Dad, this used to be my, oh, it didn't. 0.97
00:28:44.480 I don't care what your race is. 0.99
00:28:47.420 I don't care where you come from.
00:28:49.440 I don't understand how anyone wants to live in a drug-ridden, crime-infested hellhole.
00:28:57.320 I don't get it.
00:28:58.980 You know, I moved away from a lot of these places, going out to the middle of nowhere,
00:29:03.200 basically.
00:29:03.800 Eh, not really.
00:29:04.520 We're like an hour and a half from D.C., so you got Winchester, you got Frederick, you
00:29:08.260 got Leesburg.
00:29:09.580 We're close to all of it.
00:29:11.360 We got Charlestown, a little small.
00:29:12.800 but who wants to oh yeah in martinsburg nobody wants to live where there's crime 1.00
00:29:18.180 and and homelessness and drug abuse maybe there's an illegal immigrant comes there with his family
00:29:24.560 lives in la he's got kids too he doesn't want his kids getting stabbed and that's what's
00:29:30.440 fascinating they keep voting for these democrats i think maybe the real play here is donald trump
00:29:38.880 The Trump administration's election efforts might change the game because I got a question for you.
00:29:43.940 Who votes for these people?
00:29:46.680 In Chicago for 100 years, all Democrat.
00:29:48.900 Why?
00:29:49.740 Honest question.
00:29:50.420 Why?
00:29:51.040 They've not solved the crime.
00:29:52.500 They've not solved gang violence.
00:29:53.760 They've not solved drug abuse.
00:29:57.140 I remember I went to.
00:29:59.280 It was an old semi.
00:30:00.960 I call it semi abandoned.
00:30:02.000 It was a factory, but it was like a printing press.
00:30:04.360 I think it was like a big building.
00:30:05.520 and uh the guys were uh using it there were people using it for a variety of things it was like it
00:30:12.480 was rented out to the people who owned it and it was just like effectively abandoned i say semi
00:30:16.860 abandoned all the business was gone what was in it was people just using the space for random stuff
00:30:22.440 storage or uh you know largely that i guess these guys brought me upstairs and they were showing me
00:30:31.920 around the building, which they said was haunted, by the way. And they said, don't go on the roof
00:30:35.600 either because the radiation's really high. Yikes. Second floor was what appeared to be like an
00:30:42.540 eating area, an area for the workers back in the day used to go and sit down. It was like a nook
00:30:46.640 with picnic benches. Only now it was a nook with chain link fences put over the nook, bloodstained
00:30:54.940 on the ground. And the dude told me that, this is South Side of Chicago, by the way, gangs would
00:30:59.660 kidnap young women and bring them there and chain them up in there to use as sex slaves to abuse or 0.98
00:31:06.460 even kill people. And I'm sitting here thinking, like, how is that a thing? Like, don't get me 1.00
00:31:12.100 wrong. I know, like, the mob exists and all that stuff. But man, really? I don't know how people
00:31:18.520 vote for this kind of stuff or they ignore it. They just hope to carry on their lives and just
00:31:22.540 they let it happen. Something's got to give. We need men of action. Maybe we'll see it in
00:31:29.100 California. I'll wrap it up there, my friends. Smash the like button. Share the show with
00:31:32.940 everyone you know. You can follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast. Thanks so much for hanging
00:31:37.460 out. Stick around. More to come, and we'll see you all in the next bit.
