00:00:33.000After spending a year uncovering how my house and my parents' house burned down and my neighbors burned alive and 7,000 houses burned, and then I realized there's a cover up going on, all the negligence, and I keep posting about it.
00:00:48.000I have all the facts, I have all the whistleblowers, I have all the evidence, and business as usual.
00:00:54.000And I see that nobody is stepping up to run against the mayor who's responsible for this disaster and so many other disasters.
00:01:04.000So it became to the point where I got so sick of just being a As the younger people say in the comment section, a yapper.
00:01:20.000I met with everyone possible that I could do as just a citizen.
00:01:26.000And I was like, okay, well, game on now.
00:01:28.000I'm going to go into your headquarters and just take your job and then remove all these toxic entities that are destroying our way of life in Los Angeles.
00:02:09.000This is not some new thing over the last couple of decades.
00:02:11.000I was evacuated three different times.
00:02:14.000I used to live in Bell Canyon, and my neighbors, three of the homes right across the street from my house, burnt to the ground in 2018.
00:02:23.000There's always been fires in Los Angeles.
00:02:26.000But the lack of preparation, For the Palisades fires was astonishing.
00:02:33.000The fact that the reservoir was empty was criminal mismanagement.
00:02:38.000I mean, it was just insanity that everybody knew that we had fires, like massive fires, that it was a dry place, and when the Santa Ana winds would blow, if something caught fire, it was a real problem.
00:02:53.000And when you see all these people that are passing the buck and moving the blame, and then The fund, when they had that big charity thing for the fire, and you found out that hundreds of millions of dollars was raised, you know, if you're looking at it like an irrational person, a rational person would say, Oh, this is great.
00:03:22.000All these people who lost their homes will have some funds from this and they'll be able to rebuild.
00:03:28.000And then you find out that the money was given to, what was it, like 108 different NGOs?
00:03:35.000200 plus, where that money got distributed to these organizations, these supposed nonprofit organizations, and most of that money goes to overhead.
00:03:47.000And almost nothing goes to the people who lost their homes.
00:03:51.000So, to rewind, let's start with what we thought.
00:03:56.000We were told climate change, and with the climate change, because I've spent hours and hours arguing with people that will argue with that, I go, okay, great.
00:05:04.000They knew this was coming to the point where Chief Garcia had all of his firefighters on the tarmac, kitted up in their helicopters.
00:05:13.000He said his whole team was standing by their computers because it was so obvious this fire was coming based off of, if you want to say, climate change, because it had not rained.
00:06:10.000This was another thing that just woke me up to, you know, we always heard about the homeless NGO scam and the homeless industrial complex, but living as a fire victim and watching all these celebrities go on stage, they actually took fire victims from Altadena on stage whose houses burned down and they raised this $100 million.
00:06:30.000And as a victim, I'm thinking, okay, you know, we're going to get a few thousand dollars.
00:06:35.000That's nice, or you know, you break a hundred million up, this should be a grand.
00:06:40.000You know, even FEMA and these places, when you get that thousand dollar check, it's helpful.
00:06:45.000You're like, oh, I just lost everything, every little thousand adds up.
00:06:49.000So, when that happened, and nobody I know anywhere got money, and Sue Pascoe from Circling the News, a local journalist whose house burned down, she spent months investigating, calling up every single NGO who did you give money to, which victim?
00:07:09.000And even the law firm that they hired to do the cover up for the fire aid, the law firm says in their own little three page document where they're defending fire aid, they say several of the money went directly to fire victims.
00:07:26.000Well, I Google just to see because I know the definition of several.
00:07:30.000I want to see what Google says several is.
00:07:54.000And if they'll do that to the people whose houses just burned down, of course they're going to do it to our tax money with the homeless industrial zombie complex.
00:08:14.000Well, I don't think before Doge and before Elon started investigating into a lot of these NGOs, I don't think anybody was really aware, or most people were not aware of how this all works and how there's a whole bureaucracy, like a business that's set up where a bunch of people get paid from this money to essentially make no improvements whatsoever in whatever the problem is.
00:09:01.000So, it's even worse in the sense that it's not going to just their salaries.
00:09:07.000There are actual cases now with the DOJ and the Feds.
00:09:10.000They're arresting people who are just stealing $30 million, $20 million, buying Bentleys, mansions in Brentwood.
00:09:17.000So, the idea that it's just going to salaries and people are paying themselves out that's one.
00:09:22.000But there are also people just straight up stealing money.
00:09:25.000And you can't even figure out how they steal it.
00:09:28.000For instance, this lovely lady came on my podcast.
00:09:32.000She created her own charity type thing, the Integrity Project, to expose NGOs because she lives in Westwood.
00:09:38.000And all of a sudden, one day on her block, in this, you know, she invested with her husband, have a nice single family house on this nice street in Westwood.
00:09:46.000And the old person home, they were kicking all the senior citizens out.
00:10:35.000So, our tax money buys for 20 extra million dollars of property to have it as a homeless housing.
00:10:42.000Each of these beds, because I think there's maybe only 70 beds in it, it's now six years later, approximately, totally not finished, not done, more construction, this or that.
00:11:26.000I've met with the IRS criminal investigation team three times in LA, twice in Washington, D.C.
00:11:32.000And they are so excited for me to be mayor because all they need is one document from each of these NGOs and these grants, and they can open.
00:11:43.000Right now, they know the fraud and the crimes are happening, but if the city doesn't hand over the document and the NGO doesn't, they say they can't just open up these cases without that one document.
00:12:34.000They reference numbers that she'll be like, oh, we removed 1,500 people this year.
00:12:39.000But she doesn't say, oh, 1,500 were removed into the cemetery because they OD'd, not to mention how much tax money we're spending on just keeping zombies alive.
00:12:49.000I met with firefighters a few days ago at the Hollywood station, and they were telling me the amount of Narcan they go through.
00:12:58.000So one night, I talked to MacArthur Park, their fire station, he did 17 overdoses.
00:13:21.000No, these people do not have rights for us to just die.
00:13:23.000We need to protect these people as humans.
00:13:26.000And again, that's why my whole thing is enforce the law.
00:13:29.000It is illegal to just be doing fentanyl on the street.
00:13:32.000So if we come in and we give you mandatory treatment, Not jail if you're not, you know, some of these people are just straight going to jail for animal abuse.
00:13:41.000They're torturing animals all day long on Skid Row.
00:13:45.000The videos that I get sent, once you see them, you can't unsee them.
00:13:49.000Not to mention now I'm working with all the rescue ones, the ones they text me and they're just like, Spencer, we have to stop this.
00:13:55.000And the city knows they call the cops all day long.
00:13:58.000The cops come and they say, I mean, LAPD's hands are tied.
00:14:01.000If the mayor and the city attorney don't have like enforce the law, they just get away with it.
00:14:08.000So we're, In Mad Max life in Los Angeles.
00:14:11.000And people like to say, oh, it's not, it's, I'm from LA.
00:14:27.000Not even mention Hollywood is now gone.
00:14:29.000The fact that Hollywood Boulevard should be the greatest tourist attraction in the world, you couldn't pay me right now to go on Hollywood Boulevard, step on human feces, the smell of pee.
00:14:59.000And once the bubble's gone, all I have is this energy to stop this.
00:15:05.000Not to mention now the amount of thousands of messages I get every day from every part of the city sending me photos.
00:15:12.000There's parents that, when they drive to school all across the city, this is not just one unique area, they have to have their kids in the backseat staring at an iPad not to look out the window because meth addicts will just be having sex on the side of the street.
00:15:27.000There's just naked people everywhere now.
00:15:39.000These aren't people that just like missed a paycheck and we need to get them help and get back.
00:15:43.000This is a drug problem that needs mandatory treatment, not handing people needles and pipes and saying, oh, here's a million dollar bed.
00:15:51.000If you're a fentanyl zombie hanging upside down, you don't care about a million dollar empty bed because you're just high, you sober up and you go get high again.
00:16:52.000Man at the center of the deal, since identified by federal prosecutors as Brentwood landlord and developer Stephen Taylor, bought the property on Shelby Drive in 2023 for $11.2 million.
00:17:05.000Okay, so this is exactly what you're talking about.
00:17:09.000$27.3 million to pay for that acquisition came from taxpayer grant funds authorized by city and state officials, according to grant documentations.
00:17:18.000LA Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Newsom touted the purchase as a key tool in the fight against homelessness, the fight against homelessness that they're losing.
00:17:29.000The deal called for Taylor's involvement to be kept secret, according to a confidentiality clause included in the purchase contract.
00:17:37.000Obtained through a public records request that changed last month when federal authorities announced criminal charges against Taylor.
00:17:43.000He's accused of submitting fraudulent documents to borrow money from private lenders when he bought this and other properties.
00:17:53.000So, news conference, region's top federal prosecutor, Bill Assale, said the investigation is ongoing.
00:18:03.000Taylor was arrested in August when the case was under seal and pleaded not guilty.
00:18:07.000Court records show it's the first of the two known criminal cases brought so far by the federal task force.
00:18:13.000Assale assembled in April to investigate fraud and corruption around the use of billions of dollars earmarked to combat homelessness in Southern California.
00:18:53.000So it's back to what I was saying the feds wouldn't even got that story.
00:18:57.000If this woman, Samantha from the Integrity Project, didn't do 7,000 public records or Chris and build this case on her own because she was, what's going on in my next door neighbor?

00:20:19.000Well, this has got to be just one piece of the puzzle.
00:20:23.000That's $30 million of $25 plus billion.
00:20:26.000So, this is an extensive coordinated effort to siphon money.
00:22:30.000What's going on is they're actually incentivized to have more homeless people because the more homeless people, the bigger the bureaucracy grows, the bigger you can have your homeless foundation, your homeless task force, whatever it is.
00:22:43.000And these people are making quarter million dollars a year plus, which is insane.
00:22:47.000And he showed the list of the salaries of all these people.
00:22:50.000How are you getting paid when the problem keeps getting worse and all you're doing is hiring more people and they're getting paid more money and more projects and more grants and more homelessness?
00:23:02.000And it's not getting any better, but the money keeps coming in.
00:23:05.000So you're incentivized to keep the problem and increase it.
00:23:43.000So again, I keep saying, as mayor, I'll enforce the laws because you cannot be a crazed drug addict zombie just running amok naked on the street.
00:23:54.000That is why I thank God our amazing Democrats in California made this year SB 43.
00:24:00.000And that means if you can't manage your own mental state, you can come in and have a hole, the psych hole for 72 hours.
00:24:08.000And if it seems like, oh, this person needs real treatment, it can go to 45 days.
00:24:13.000And then it can go up to a year conservatorship.
00:24:16.000And as mayor, what I keep telling people is once you start enforcing the law, first off, people who just want to do drugs and live on the streets, they will leave LA because they'll see, oh, this mayor is not playing around.
00:24:28.000We need to go somewhere else, or they're so crazy and we're gonna help them get medical treatment, or they're one of these dog abusing type people, and I'm gonna put them under the jail to the point where once they get from under the jail, somehow, if they ever get out, they will never come back to LA because now they've been under the jail and they're gonna go under two times more till they end up in prison.
00:24:50.000Because if you abuse animals, once again, once you see what I've seen, we're talking they're stapling dogs' eyes closed, lighting.
00:25:01.000The shelters alone, where it's the city is doing mass murder because they're not giving these people enough funding.
00:25:08.000And I'm convinced now they must make money off of euthanizing.
00:25:13.000So, there's the street issue with the zombies abusing dogs, and then the city just mass murdering dogs because they're not getting the proper funding and facilities, and they're not spaying and neutering and enforcing all the laws to keep street breeders from just flooding the streets with the dogs.
00:25:33.000So, back to you enforce the law, and this isn't impossible.
00:25:37.000I've met with a lot of people that have real estate in Los Angeles and they have real estate in San Francisco, and Mayor Lurie came in.
00:25:44.000And he started enforcing the law and just saying, you can't do this.
00:25:47.000And he has cleaned up the city pretty well.
00:25:50.000You know, there's obviously people that say he's not doing enough.
00:25:53.000And again, I'm sorry, what city is this?
00:27:04.000Before my house burned down in the Palisades, my wife was ready to move because every morning in front of Palisades Elementary, that then burned down and across the street at my son's preschool at Methodist, there was a lady cleaning her private parts in front of kids at 7 45 in the morning.
00:27:20.000You call LAPD, they pull up and they go, You don't know why?
00:28:50.000So, for people that don't know, and we looked into this because I found out about Skid Row, I knew it existed, but I found out about it when we were filming Fear Factor.
00:29:00.000So, one day, because we filmed a lot in downtown LA and a lot of these abandoned warehouses and buildings, and we were in one of these warehouses and we left the set and I drove home and I took a wrong turn and I went down near the outskirts of Skid Row.
00:29:17.000And it's hard to believe that it's real if you haven't seen it.
00:29:53.000So, there was a documentary on the Jerome Hotel.
00:29:56.000And when we looked into it, it turns out that what they would do is they would find vagrants, which is the old school term for it, and they would find them in Beverly Hills or Hollywood, and they would just move them to downtown LA to Skid Row and leave them there and keep them there.
00:30:24.000So, uh, This is where they so Cecil Hotel was like this beautiful hotel that existed in downtown LA, and now it's just like it's in zombie land, and the whole area is filled with fucking just everything around it is homeless.
00:30:39.000Like the sheer volume of it is impossible to describe unless you go there and see it.
00:30:45.000And the fact that that's never been addressed, that no one does anything about it, and it's gotten to 50 entire blocks of nothing but homeless people no businesses, no nothing, nothing's functioning.
00:31:35.000They need somebody to come and say, Oh, we're done with this.
00:31:37.000And that's why I'm excited to actually be a mayor that's in these streets.
00:31:42.000And here's what they keep saying Oh, you can't do this because the city council, they're all in on it.
00:31:46.000You know, 90% of them, because they have four of these socialist DSA members on the city council that actually want to destroy our way of life in Los Angeles.
00:31:55.000Why do you think they want to do that?
00:32:28.000We need to have a plan to get these people back into society, not Bankroll an entire existence of Los Angeles where we're like, oh, you can just be a drug addict and we're going to pay for you because.
00:32:41.000Yeah, this is the problem with that narrative that the rich people aren't paying enough.
00:32:44.000And this is one of the things that I've seen progressive podcasters talk about the wealth tax.
00:32:49.000And they were talking about imposing a wealth tax on billionaires.
00:32:52.000And they're like, stop being greedy, pay your fair share.
00:32:55.000Like, what is your fair share and where is it going?
00:32:58.000Like, if you could show me that an increase in taxes would fix all the problems.
00:33:30.000So, they're incentivized to take that money and do with it whatever they want.
00:33:36.000And so, the more they can come up with, like building tiny homes or whatever the fuck it is, it's just incentives for them to siphon money.
00:33:46.000And again, as mayor, I want to have full accountability and transparency where that's what everybody that's paying.
00:33:52.000There's a lot of good people that are fine with paying as much tax as they want if you're helping people get off the street, if the lights work, if the streets work.
00:34:01.000If there's less crime, if it's safe, if it's nice, if it's clean.
00:34:43.000How do you keep them from blocking all these things you're trying to do?
00:34:46.000So, that is what excites me because there's never been a mayor that comes in and literally goes to each of their constituents of these districts.
00:34:57.000For instance, this DSA member wants to keep giving the fentanyl needles and the pipes.
00:35:02.000Then I go to that district, I have a press conference, I bring everybody, I say, This so and so wants to keep these zombies.
00:35:09.000Going number two and having sex in front of your kids and put the heat on the city council members.
00:35:15.000Right now, they care about their jobs.
00:36:01.000Well, there's been a concerted effort to put those people in the government, right?
00:36:04.000And, you know, a lot of people point to George Soros, and he's one of them, and his Open Society Foundation is one of the people that likes to do that, particularly for very progressive prosecutors and DAs.
00:37:04.000They can say that SB 79 or whatever their housing thing was never going to apply to Palisades.
00:37:11.000But after me attacking it all day for weeks, they added like 13 notes and made the Palisades a fire hazard area where you couldn't build high density.
00:37:23.000Because what they do, there's a new state law that just got passed.
00:37:26.000And if you're, again, these aren't exact, all the Yimbis are going to go nuts.
00:37:37.000I don't, you know, there, I have to block them usually on social media, but they have a vision that everything in California and Los Angeles should be high density.
00:37:48.000How then we need to build these seven, nine story structures to have more affordable housing.
00:37:54.000So they want to get rid of single family homes and put seven story buildings on.
00:37:59.000So the NIMBYs, not in my backyard, they fight these people on X.
00:38:05.000So, You know, to be honest, I'm not either of them.
00:38:08.000They try to, I'm fine with more housing, but I also want people to have single family homes.
00:38:13.000And I think the fact that we lost the idea where we can't fight for the California dream to have a front yard with grass and it's gotten so expensive and impossible, that should be the problem.
00:38:37.000Where people had a front yard and ground.
00:38:39.000Well, it's also insane to try to do that with the Palisades because the Palisades has always been a wealthy neighborhood where people with a lot of money spent a lot of money and also paid a lot of money in taxes and had these beautiful homes.
00:38:52.000And the idea that you're going to take that over with low income housing, well, those people are going to move out of there.
00:38:58.000And there goes the tax money from those people.
00:39:01.000Not only that, those people lost their homes.
00:39:03.000Their homes were taken from them by the fire.
00:39:13.000The houses were stolen from all these people.
00:39:15.000A misconception, though, because I'm from the Palisades and I grew up, the Palisades just became this wealthier, you know, famous people in the last, let's say, 10 years.
00:40:14.000Let's do the fire because that's a great.
00:40:16.000We haven't even, you know, we just touched on it, but nobody's really talked about what happened, how this fire started, you know, why we're on the fire.
00:40:24.000So people would think about the Palisades fire and they go, oh, January 7th.
00:40:39.000Supposedly, allegedly, this guy lit a fire at New Year's Eve with a lighter or a cigarette and there was an eight acre fire.
00:40:46.000Now, According to witness testimony, there are about 30 people that saw fireworks go into this site called at Lockman, Skull Rock.
00:40:54.000So at New Year's Eve, the eight acre fire starts, LAFD responds.
00:41:00.000But the issue, what people don't understand, when they respond, they can't come up there with heavy dozers.
00:41:05.000So, a dozer, like a bulldozer, has a rake type thing on the front, and they clear around the fire and they make a fire break even when the fire is going.
00:41:15.000Ideally, you'd want the fire break before, which Because of California state parks and plant over people policies, we don't have fire breaks.
00:41:23.000So, dead fuels, dead brush has been growing around lots of communities for 50, 60 years.
00:41:29.000So, right now, the Palisades burned down.
00:41:32.000But what's next is Brentwood, Hollywood Hills, Sunland, Tahunga, what else?
00:41:44.000They're all going to burn down if we don't come in here, make fire breaks.
00:41:48.000300 feet because when I met with Chief Bobby Garcia and I asked him about fire breaks, the purpose of the fire break is to give firefighters a chance to dig in.
00:41:56.000And when they drop the retardant, if there's not a 300 foot break, then all the retardant just falls through the different levels of the foliage and it doesn't make a moat.
00:42:07.000So if you have a break, it creates a moat type situation.
00:42:10.000And now the firefighters have a chance to get up there and respond.
00:42:14.000So back to January 1st, they couldn't bring their dozers up.
00:42:18.000We now have text messages because Again, I'm one of the lead plaintiffs suing the city of LA, LADWP, and the state of California state parks.
00:42:26.000So I have all the text messages public now, but we have the texts from the park rangers, the LAFD, and they're joking about, of course, I'm not bringing any dozers.
00:42:35.000I know the rule, you know, protected plants.
00:42:38.000Keep in mind, I never knew about this plant.
00:43:46.000After meeting with so many firefighters since, I've realized the fire department is so understaffed, so underfunded, they're operating a fire department.
00:43:56.000From the 1960s, with 50% more calls now.
00:44:00.00080% of them are for zombies to overdoses.
00:44:04.00030% of the fires are zombie encampment fires.
00:44:07.000So to me, now I'm trying to get in that chief.
00:44:10.000I spoke with that chief on the phone and In my mind, it's a budget thing.
00:44:16.000Everything's just like, oh, we don't have, you know, clocks ticking.
00:44:19.000We don't have the money to stay up here with the hoses.
00:44:22.000Because three years earlier, that same area in the Highlands, I think they left the hoses up in the Palisades for 18 months.
00:44:27.000You leave the hoses up because it stays hot and they have them up.
00:44:34.000I mean, the chief, Chief Crowley, who Mayor Bass fired in retaliation for telling the truth, seven weeks before the Palisades fire, she wrote a memo to Karen Bass and said, I am dangerously underfunded.
00:45:10.000I've now found out since then there was $400 million just in an account that they hadn't even touched for homeless.
00:45:18.000Literally, at the time she cut the $17 million, there's $400 million that right now is still there that they haven't used, allocated $400 million.
00:45:26.000So they got it for the zombies, not for the tax paying citizens, public safety, not to mention.
00:46:05.000So the state parks' own manual says they're supposed to close this park to make sure it's not a dangerous condition, obviously, and to monitor it.
00:46:23.000They asked the firefighters to take dead brush and fuel and they carry it and they put it over the fire break from a day earlier around where they made the fire break around that January 1st.
00:46:34.000They take the dead bushes and they cover up the fire break.
00:46:48.000So if you wanted to be cynical, do you think that having this $400 million and keeping it in there and keeping Funneling money into homelessness and not into the fire department is simply because the fire department is not profitable.
00:47:01.000You can't siphon money off of the fire department.
00:47:04.000The fire department basically just goes to fight fires, it goes to equipment, people's salaries, maintaining the fire departments.
00:47:14.000You want to know how sick it is right now?
00:47:16.000The fire department, LAFD, their union, all the members, huh, get like choked up.
00:47:21.000I feel so, because I met with these, you know, I keep meeting with these guys and you hear from their heart, you're like, huh, this is so heavy.
00:47:29.000To get on ballot measure a million dollars, they all pooled it together to get a ballot measure this coming election to get a half cent on sales tax in LA so that they could have money to fund actual things they need to keep a half a cent on all that.
00:47:44.000But the point is, they need to go out of their own pocket to get a ballot measure because they know they will never get funded by the city to keep Angelino safe.
00:47:55.000That they got to go out of it and make sure there's only one way to look at it.
00:47:59.000You would look at it like, well, what would be the logical reason?
00:48:01.000Why would they allocate so much money towards homelessness and so little towards the fire department?
00:48:06.000When the fire department is, you know, I've said this before, but if you want to talk about like socialism that works, the fire department is socialism that works.
00:48:14.000If you really care about socialism and that's the thing that you really believe in, there's certain aspects of socialism that are applicable in a healthy community.
00:48:23.000One of them is the fire department that your money should go, we should pool some of our taxes to go to make sure that we're all protected.
00:48:30.000The fire department doesn't just protect the rich people, it protects all people.
00:48:34.000Fires break out, the fire department comes in, regardless whether you have any money or not.
00:48:38.000We all pool our money together for the fire department.
00:50:55.000So, when you become a DSA member, so right now she's a city council member, and when the DSA gives you an endorsement, you sign a contract with them to co govern.
00:51:05.000So, right now she's not representing her district.
00:51:08.000As an American citizen, a Los Angeles, she's representing the Democrat Socialists of America.
00:52:56.000Political, what I'm running on, not to mention the mayor is a nonpartisan race.
00:53:01.000There's no letters on it for a reason.
00:53:03.000The mayor is supposed to represent all of Los Angeles, period.
00:53:07.000It's not a, you'll never get me ever doing these performative politics, talking about national issues, doing the bait and switch stuff where, oh, talking about over here why I destroy your actual local government.
00:53:21.000Everyone gets caught up in the media and they follow what's going on in different states and different politics and the federal government when.
00:53:30.000The people that really affect your life, who are destroying your way of life, are your local government, your mayor, your city council, your fire commission, your police commission.
00:53:39.000When I'm mayor, I'm wiping out this fire commission.
00:53:42.000We're putting actual experts that know what they're talking about, not these rando political pointy lunatics.
00:54:18.000Every message I get, they say, call 911.
00:54:21.000You'll be on hold for God knows how long.
00:54:24.000If they ever pick up, if it's literally not like somebody's getting shot at that moment, if you're trying to report crime or this, they're not coming.
00:54:45.000She's taking credit for the whole United States down, but I even have another angle on that.
00:54:50.000I'd have to go probably to some emergency hospitals.
00:54:53.000But I think Los Angeles has such good trauma nurses and trauma doctors.
00:54:59.000The amount of stabbings and shootings they probably keep people alive, that's the real number.
00:55:05.000You know, maybe 30 years ago, before we were so good with quick clot and, you know, and You know, God knows we have so much stuff now, right?
00:55:13.000That keeps people alive just on the metro alone.
00:55:17.000The stabbings are everything is double last year.
00:55:20.000So these people are living, but everyone's getting stabbed everywhere.
00:55:23.000I keep joking that everyone loved that guy in New York, Mandami, or whatever his name is, because he said everything's going to be free.
00:55:29.000Well, as mayor on the metros in Los Angeles, Mayor Pratt will make sure you're going to be free from stabbings.
00:56:06.000Just last week, the federal government paused a $400 million payment that was coming because they said all these federal audits aren't showing the book.
00:56:36.000Well, Nick Shirley started doing investigations into all sorts of other fraud that's all around Los Angeles with hospices and all these different things.
00:56:44.000And they're finding hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud.
00:56:48.000But not for much longer because he could be facing a $10,000 fine.
00:56:58.000Instead of saying, Wow, thank you for uncovering this fraud, they passed a bill that if you film things and you go to a place and identify that place, and then somehow or another, those people get harassed or something because of it, you could get fined.
00:57:17.000So, I was already saying on my own podcast, my plan as mayor, because everyone kept being like, Oh, you need Nick Shirley.
00:57:23.000No, what I need is all of Los Angeles to be a Nick Shirley.
00:57:26.000I, as mayor, am going to offer cash bounties.
00:57:29.000If you film any fraud, city workers doing something suspicious, any type of scams, and you bring it to the mayor's office and we check it out, I'm going to pay you.
00:57:41.000So now I got to deal with the state, you know, if that passes.
00:57:44.000But I was already going to just make the city become these Nixon.
00:58:10.000Criminals like the Gotti, all these people we used to think were mobsters at the Italian shops back in the day.
00:58:16.000They couldn't even comprehend what's going on right now.
00:58:19.000And then, even on the city level, like when I went and met in a fire station, they were telling me about how if a refrigerator breaks, this is mafia stuff, if a refrigerator breaks, you know, firefighters, they know how to take the refrigerator and they put it out.
00:58:31.000The city person comes in, they go, Oh, no, put that back in.
00:59:37.000If we do fires alone, all a terrorist cell needs to do is get five of those black e bikes and they need to go on a windy day leading up to the Olympics, go around.
00:59:47.000With road flares, tossing them out on all the 50 years of dead brush.
00:59:51.000The entire city will look like a nuclear bomb went off.
01:00:03.000And by the way, there's a lot of evidence that a lot of the fire in the Palisades, not just the initial fire, but subsequent fires, were caused by arson.
01:00:10.000In fact, my friend Andrew filmed some guys doing it.
01:00:14.000He filmed guys lighting things on fire.
01:00:56.000Then there is a 95% box that are people that are just fentanyl zombies, meth, just want to live on the streets and be a drug addict right now.
01:01:05.000Maybe some of those people get help, they get sober, get proper treatment, now they get a new chance of life.
01:01:11.000Then there's another box that are just people that want to do drugs and be a bad person.
01:01:16.000We have to acknowledge there's actually just bad people that are in a different box.
01:01:21.000But there's also people that want everything else to fall apart because their life is in the shit.
01:01:37.000Well, that's how also these DSA people get support because they've destroyed the city so much.
01:01:42.000You look around and you think, oh, the American dream is broken.
01:01:46.000Capitalism is broken, but they're the ones that broke it.
01:01:50.000So if you're just like a young 20 year old looking around, you're like, oh my God, there's zombies everywhere, rents so much, all the restaurants are closing.
01:03:26.000Not, you know, you and I don't want to go walk on the street, but just like a woman with their little dog or moms with strollers.
01:03:33.000And it's not, it's across the entire city.
01:03:36.000I watched, News in Spanish where these underpasses in South Central or East LA, these families have been coming to the news and they're like, please, because they're having to take their kids under these underpasses with encampments to get to the schools.
01:03:49.000It's not just like a Hollywood thing or a valley, it's everywhere.
01:10:37.000Fake hit piece on me the day the UCLA poll comes out that has me in the lead and not the one that they had just run some fake DSA, you know, BS poll that nobody believed.
01:11:43.000I'm the one who's been fighting for Democrats for the last year and a half to expose all of this fraud, our literal city letting our town burn to the ground.
01:12:11.000And the firefighters are just standing there with like garden hoses, and you're seeing that 100 mile per hour wind does not mean everything burns down because this community has fire breaks.
01:12:21.000So then I like see who this guy who like lived with these hotshots for six years.
01:12:26.000So I find him on X and he's live streaming talking about how the Palisades fire before anybody was not started on January 7th, but a rekindle from that first fire when the LAFD, this is where it gets so conspiracy Chinatown movie type shit.
01:12:45.000They hired a crisis PR firm, the lead company.
01:12:50.000Here's the best part guess where they got the money?
01:12:53.000The mayor's office, where they got the money to hire the crisis from the LAFD Foundation.
01:12:59.000They used charity money to hire a crisis team to alter the after action report that says all these things that went wrong to make the mayor, Karen Bass, look good.
01:15:00.000So that's who the people were dealing with.
01:15:02.000So when they're like, oh, Spencer, you don't have the experience to be mayor, well, I promise my deputy mayors that I have on deck, they aren't calling in any bomb threats to City Hall.
01:15:11.000So we're already starting ahead of the curve.
01:15:13.000Also, I'm not going in to steal taxpayer money, I'm going in to stop all this.
01:15:18.000So again, I really believe there's enough common sense people that see that I'm not doing politics.
01:18:54.000Part of the television world, and you notice why do they let the mayor and the city councils get away with all of you know talking about this at the end of the day?
01:19:04.000That's their talent, it's like a soap opera, they got to keep filming with the mayor and the city council.
01:19:11.000If they just air them out, they're not picking up the call, it's like a production, exactly.
01:19:15.000Then they don't have content anymore, exactly.
01:19:17.000So the local news needs to like keep it right, right.
01:21:03.000Well, this is the thing that Newsom always chimes in about how much money California brings in, how many venture capitalists are in California, how much money in tech is in California.
01:21:58.000So I write a sub stack calling this out, calling out the mayor.
01:22:02.000Next thing you know, they come back and the mayor makes a deal.
01:22:06.000What's the funniest thing right now is whatever I post and do, the mayor is now doing, like I said the other day, I'm getting rid of the whole fire commission.
01:22:14.000This fire commission has been there for like 10 years, I think, after I do this post or whatever.
01:22:18.000Boom, four out of five of the fire commission resign.
01:22:21.000So they're trying to just get ahead of all the things of what I'm saying, which is fun because I already am like the mayor.
01:23:10.000When it was created, the engineer, he's on the cover, LA Times back in the day, and he's talking about he built this for wildfire protection.
01:23:18.000Now, in their defense, the city and LADWP says, that was drinking water.
01:23:23.000It was No one was drinking this water, I promise you.
01:23:25.000So there was a tear on this drinking water, allegedly the firefighting water.
01:23:31.000So they drain the entire Reservoir because of a little tear that would have cost $120,000 to repair for over a year.
01:23:40.000This woman was making $750,000 a year as the head of LADWP, twice her predecessor that Mayor Bass brought in.
01:23:51.000Keep in mind, if you make that much money, do you know what the people below her are making?
01:24:50.000And they had to drive water tenders up onto the hillside for the helicopters to dip because that's the key.
01:24:56.000What people don't understand is like, oh, nothing could have stopped this fire.
01:25:00.000You know, people that defend these people.
01:25:02.000If the reservoir had the water in it, the helicopters, these $17 million helicopters that Newsom loves to do the photo shoots in front of, how fast they are, would have had to fly.
01:25:12.000Less than 30 seconds from the origin of the fire again when the winds were fine for six hours in the initial thing.
01:25:19.000But instead, those helicopters had to fly all the way to Malibu to Pepperdine College and all the way to Encino to get the water for the helicopters to fly all the way back to where the fire was next door to where the empty reservoir is.
01:25:33.000So they spent 66% of their time not fighting the fire going to get the water.
01:25:39.000So it's back to like why I say it's Chinatown with Jack and Listen.
01:25:43.000We have this LADWP that these people get all this money.
01:27:15.000When they know the fraud, the waste, the corruption.
01:27:19.000People that are rich, billionaires, whoever they are, if the city lights all work, right now, the two mayors I'm running for let, you know, about the copper theft?
01:27:28.000There's no working lights in the city of LA because they let, they got rid of the copper task force because they obviously can't fund the LAPD.
01:27:35.000So they let everyone steal all the copper.
01:27:37.000So everything's dark in the whole city.
01:27:39.000So Mayor Bass goes last week and makes a press conference.
01:28:37.000All these moms and parents are saying, We don't want these encampments where there's two known gangs selling fentanyl through holes in the tents.
01:28:52.000The city council member to enforce the law, and she argues with the parents and says, There's no difference if the encampment's one foot or 500 feet from the school.
01:29:01.000All the parents boo her, and she goes, Whatever, and rolls her eyes.
01:29:07.000These are the people that are going to show up and vote for me.
01:29:10.000Well, there's a giant amount of people in California that have been red pilled that just realize like whatever you thought your government was when you thought you were voting for a progressive, kind, compassionate government that is a sheep outfit over a wolf.
01:29:29.000It's not what you have, it's not what you're getting.
01:29:32.000What you're getting is organized crime.
01:29:33.000What you're getting is organized crime that is using this filter of compassionate, Caring, inclusive government.
01:30:47.000You can go break into a house with a gun while people are there, families, rob them, tie them up, and get out.
01:30:55.000Not only that, if you shoot those people while they're in your house, you'll be prosecuted.
01:30:59.000Yeah, you got to prove you are fearing for your life.
01:31:02.000You're supposed to leave your house rather than defend your house against people with weapons that enter your house.
01:31:09.000I personally would advise to lock yourself in a closet and have your firearm and have a strong point.
01:31:18.000Yeah, but even that, like, well, you're going to just let someone break into your house and steal your childhood's whatever, whatever they're stealing, whatever, steal your fucking jewelry and heirlooms and whatever you've worked your whole life to earn.
01:31:37.000And the fact that you have this no cash bail situation and just letting these people out on the street that are violent criminals, repeat offenders.
01:31:44.000It's like if you wanted to destroy LA, that's how you would do it.
01:31:49.000And that's why I get so, my hardest thing every day now is just staying not too pumped up because now that I'm in this fight and I have all the messages all day long, everywhere I go on the street, people, old ladies hugging me, crying like, please, I'm scared.
01:32:05.000The pressure I feel to get in here and just undo this, unplug this.
01:32:09.000And I met with a lot of business owners and they said the mayor, the city council, they all know what needs to be done, but they don't wanna push the buttons.
01:32:18.000Somebody needs to just come in and push them up.
01:32:21.000If there's one thing I know, I will push these buttons and we're going to get the city under control because it just starts with enforcing the law.
01:32:28.000So I have a deputy mayor that I can't say who he is because of fear of retaliation at this point, because of issues with the city right now who's in power.
01:32:37.000But this deputy mayor who will help me enforce the law made it very clear.
01:32:41.000Once you start enforcing the law, criminals leave.
01:32:59.000He was suggesting for two weeks, you go around the city, you put up signs, no more fentanyl at the park, no more open drug use, no more encampments.
01:33:08.000You have a two week countdown, you tell everyone, you give them a warning.
01:33:11.000So if you want to leave in advance, you know, most of these people, which is what I hear the most from law enforcement, are not from Los Angeles.
01:33:19.000They have been flown in, bust in, back to the business.
01:33:22.000There's a body business where they bring Homeless people to the city to make the money off them.
01:33:30.000They're brought here because this is the epicenter where they're making all the money.
01:33:35.000So, you don't think these NGOs, when they hear Spencer Pratt's the new mayor, he's got the IRS criminal investigation team, they're going to take this scam, I'm sorry, to other states and cities.
01:33:45.000The show is going to go on the road and they're going to open up shop where there's a mayor that lets this go down and it will stop in LA.
01:33:51.000And this trickle down effect when restaurants don't have zombies in front of them, you can go back to having outdoor seating because it doesn't smell like human poo.
01:34:00.000The whole town smells like, the whole city smells like human poop and pee.
01:34:28.000And once we get those test results back, I promise you, The federal government will be shutting down streets with white tents and hosing things down with chlorine, God knows what, because people are living in the sewers.
01:34:41.000I don't know if you saw last week that lady pops out of the sewer.
01:34:44.000That Juan from Clean LA did a video, it went viral.
01:35:12.000They say you stand on Skid Row or any street in LA, you can watch the drug dealers just pulling up in Escalades, Teslas, all the nicest cars, just slanging, no problem.
01:35:56.000So, day one, realistically, what can you do and how do you implement all these ideas that you have?
01:36:04.000So, right now, what I've learned is all the smartest, brightest people would never want to come work in LA because they know any of their ideas are not going to be used.
01:37:33.000These types of budget things where you don't just increase all these payments to city unions or whatever if the budget doesn't have the money.
01:37:41.000There's going to be a commission that looks everything publicly for 30 days.
01:37:47.000It's like having your accountant and check your taxes from the IRS.
01:37:52.000It's all, we need to have outside independent people checking all this stuff.
01:37:57.000So it's more of, again, I'm talking with Chief Garcia, who's retiring.
01:38:01.000Who's the GOAT firefighter to be one of my deputy mayors of fire and public safety, not a deputy mayor that calls bomb threats into the city?
01:38:10.000So, just using experienced people that want to get LA and surrounding myself.
01:38:15.000One thing I know I have is common sense.
01:38:18.000Now, all the things that I need, the professionals, you bring them in and they'll want to work with me because they know they hear my message.
01:38:52.000So, and they know what they're doing, they know the game, they play the game, they listen to whatever the top dogs say, and they follow business as usual, and the money keeps getting moved around.
01:39:02.000To the point where I could poach talent from other major cities that are successful at these jobs.
01:39:09.000I can pay them more clearly than other places.
01:40:18.000One of the things we need to touch upon, back to climate change and him going to Munich, and he talks about the fires, it's 365 days a year, it's climate.
01:40:27.000That's interesting for somebody whose fire service, the CAL FIRE, He only pays them seasonal.
01:40:33.000When the Palisades fire hit, most of Cal Fire was down for the season.
01:40:39.000If it's a 360 forest, and that's why the only reason Brentwood exists and didn't burn all the way, just like the Palisades, is that Chief Garcia was ready with the U.S. Forest Service because he fought the feds to make sure he has a real fire service that's 365 because he understands it could pop off whenever.
01:40:57.000So he had all his tankers and helicopters, they came to Palisades and saved the day.
01:43:43.000I want my two sons to be able to, once we win all our lawsuits against Gavin Newsom and his state park, to rebuild in the Palisades and grow up in the city of LA that I grew up in, that it was, you could dream.
01:46:19.000So, two hours before that last minute where you have to sign to where they announce the final candidates, she's had a year to run for mayor, or plus you could have announced it's just to block me from going to November.
01:46:31.000But what they don't understand is people that will vote for me would never vote for her.
01:46:37.000They're actually picking off their own stats.
01:46:40.000If anything, what they're doing is making me the mayor on June 2nd.
01:46:44.000Because if you have 51% of the vote, I just become the mayor on June 2nd.
01:46:49.000And I think they're in for a big surprise and they're underestimating how angry everybody is in the city of LA.
01:46:55.000And I think I become mayor June 2nd and it won't even go to November.
01:46:59.000I think they really are underestimating how angry everybody is because there's people that I talk to that used to be just hardcore Democrats, hardcore leftist progressives that are really saying, Like in hushed tones, we really need a Republican.
01:47:16.000We really need like some no nonsense Rudy Giuliani person.
01:49:00.000I'm actually excited because I finally feel like there's hope.
01:49:04.000Because when your house burns down and your mom's crying because her house burned down every single day, everyone you know's house burned down, you go through a dark, just All my tax money.
01:49:17.000You know, because I got some big checks.
01:49:19.000People always say, oh, he burned all of his money.
01:49:22.000They don't understand living in LA in the entertainment business with a manager, an agent, a business manager, your taxes in LA, your state taxes.
01:49:31.000It's very hard to keep all that money.
01:51:41.000What's even crazier is most of these houses burned down on January 8th, when now there's no wind and they just didn't figure out, let's drive water in from all.
01:51:53.000Again, when you're on Lahaina, you're on an island, I'll start arguing, oh, it's hard to get resources.
01:51:58.000When everything's burning down on January 7th and you already realize you effed up, and now you're hearing the fire department saying, oh, the fire hydrants are empty, there's no water, it's red alert.
01:52:08.000Get enough water tankers from the whole state, every city, drive in water.
01:52:12.000I have videos from January of moms walking in front of my son's elementary school.
01:52:29.000So, for instance, all these properties that burned down, like I said, it's years of passed down family property.
01:52:37.000So, when you pass that, you pay that old tax rate.
01:52:40.000Now, these 7,000 dirt lots in the next couple years, guess what the new tax rate is?
01:52:45.000They're going to have, when somebody buys that, they're now paying 2027, 2028 Pacific Palisades tax rates, not 1970, you know, your grandfather's tax rate because, you know, you still lived in the house.
01:52:58.000So there's like 100 plus billion they're going to make just in taxes.
01:53:03.000So the idea that, oh, why would they ever let that happen?
01:53:07.000You start thinking, oh, well, they don't care because not only do they make a lot of money, they can rebuild it, they can try to put, You know, affordable housing and do this, these complex things.
01:53:47.000I keep saying to people, Watch the movie Chinatown.
01:53:50.000I watch it once a week just to like stay locked in, you know.
01:53:54.000But it's exciting because I feel this window of change where the stars are aligning, where an outsider comes in and just blows up their whole spot.
01:54:05.000Not the way the deputy mayor calls them bomb threats, but energetically.
01:57:40.000And it's just they just want to keep you like a child, and they are the people that are supposed to be the overseers of everybody, and they're looking out for you.
01:57:51.000They want to keep moving in a direction of more regulation, more rules, less rights, more restrictions.
01:57:59.000One last thing that's speaking is this is so crazy.
01:58:01.000Do you know right now in LA, if you're just a mom and pop landlord, not, you know, not, they always like to say landlords are like Krula DeVille level, like, you know, just like a mom and pop, maybe you own one apartment building with units.
01:58:14.000If you have like a drug addict, crazy person living in there, most of them now also with their Section 8 scammer and Range Rovers have two cars.
01:58:24.000If you want to get them out, they can go a whole year with not paying these landlords and then they have to pay.
01:58:30.000100 grand in legal fees to try to get them out.
01:58:33.000So then they settle with this criminal that's just abusing this loophole in this system.
01:58:38.000They'll give them 50, 40K to just leave.
01:58:43.000And then they go do it to another apartment building.
01:58:45.000So a lot of these apartment buildings, they don't even want to rent out to people because they can't afford to then have one of these people.
01:58:53.000So again, with this housing, and then ready for this, the city council, if it was not 170 million, it's 200 million, just gave 170 million to the lawyers that sue the tenants for these people.
01:59:06.000But there's no fun for the tenants to then defend themselves.
01:59:52.000And it would give hope to a lot of other cities that are experiencing similar situations where I think a lot of other people would follow your path.
