00:00:04.000 The Joe Rogan Experience.

00:00:06.000 Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

00:00:12.000 What's going on, Mr. Mayor?

00:00:15.000 I'm so thankful to be here.

00:00:17.000 My pleasure.

00:00:18.000 So, first of all, how did this idea even get into your head of running for mayor in L.A.?

00:00:26.000 To be clear, I never wanted to run for any political office or have anything to do with politicians.

00:00:32.000 What happened was.

00:00:33.000 After 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.

00:00:48.000 I have all the facts, I have all the whistleblowers, I have all the evidence, and business as usual.

00:00:54.000 And I see that nobody is stepping up to run against the mayor who's responsible for this disaster and so many other disasters. 0.93

00:01:04.000 So 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.

00:01:11.000 I felt like I was just yapping.

00:01:13.000 I'm like, I'm making these videos.

00:01:15.000 I'm telling the truth.

00:01:17.000 I got a congressional investigation.

00:01:19.000 I went to Washington.

00:01:20.000 I met with everyone possible that I could do as just a citizen.

00:01:26.000 And I was like, okay, well, game on now.

00:01:28.000 I'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.

00:01:39.000 So let's start from the fire. 1.00

00:01:42.000 So the narrative was, God, there were a lot of terrible, stupid, fake narratives. 1.00

00:01:47.000 And one of them was climate change. 1.00

00:01:48.000 That was the craziest one.

00:01:50.000 The climate change is causing the fire.

00:01:52.000 Look, I lived in LA for 29, 30 years, whatever it was.

00:01:57.000 And I guess it was, yeah, somewhere around there, maybe even more, whatever it was.

00:02:03.000 When I lived in LA, fire season happened every year.

00:02:08.000 This is not climate change.

00:02:09.000 This is not some new thing over the last couple of decades.

00:02:11.000 I was evacuated three different times.

00:02:14.000 I 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.

00:02:23.000 There's always been fires in Los Angeles.

00:02:26.000 But the lack of preparation, For the Palisades fires was astonishing.

00:02:33.000 The fact that the reservoir was empty was criminal mismanagement.

00:02:38.000 I 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.

00:02:51.000 We had known that forever.

00:02:53.000 And 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.

00:03:22.000 All these people who lost their homes will have some funds from this and they'll be able to rebuild.

00:03:28.000 And then you find out that the money was given to, what was it, like 108 different NGOs?

00:03:34.000 200 plus.

00:03:35.000 200 plus, where that money got distributed to these organizations, these supposed nonprofit organizations, and most of that money goes to overhead.

00:03:47.000 And almost nothing goes to the people who lost their homes.

00:03:51.000 So, to rewind, let's start with what we thought.

00:03:56.000 We 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.

00:04:05.000 The climate change.

00:04:06.000 Changes, right?

00:04:07.000 So we're aware of this dry weather.

00:04:10.000 It hasn't rained.

00:04:11.000 So what should we actually be doing? 0.92

00:04:13.000 Should we just say, oh, everybody should burn alive and houses burn down?

00:04:16.000 Or should we clear the dead brush? 0.59

00:04:19.000 Should we pre deploy?

00:04:21.000 Should we make sure that both reservoirs have water in it?

00:04:24.000 So the idea that climate change is the get out of jail, burn everything down excuse, it doesn't even add up.

00:04:31.000 So we know that.

00:04:32.000 So let's make a difference.

00:04:34.000 And I went and met with the Chief of the US Forest Service and talked to him for a few hours.

00:04:39.000 This guy, Chief Garcia, is one of the most famous fire chiefs from the hotshots.

00:04:43.000 And I quizzed him, and he told me this was not a surprise.

00:04:48.000 He said they all have a map.

00:04:50.000 I forget the name of this map that it goes to all cities and emergency personnel.

00:04:56.000 They have Photos, you look at them, he showed them to me.

00:04:59.000 Everything is bright red leading up to January 7th.

00:05:03.000 Bright red.

00:05:04.000 They knew this was coming to the point where Chief Garcia had all of his firefighters on the tarmac, kitted up in their helicopters.

00:05:13.000 He 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.

00:05:23.000 It was record dry.

00:05:25.000 So this idea that they use that, it's, It's just an excuse.

00:05:28.000 And then the big one that everyone falls for to this day that is the best propaganda ever is hurricane winds.

00:05:36.000 We were told, you know, Newsom's doing the thing and he's saying the winds would come in the hurricane.

00:05:41.000 He lit his hair on fire.

00:05:43.000 There was no hurricane winds in the Pacific Palisades.

00:05:46.000 The max wind speed was 40 miles per hour.

00:05:49.000 And for the first six hours, when the helicopter is the initial attack, when you put out the fire, it was max, I think, 27 miles per hour.

00:05:58.000 So they got everyone with.

00:06:00.000 It's unprecedented.

00:06:02.000 It's hurricane winds.

00:06:03.000 It's climate change.

00:06:05.000 No responsibilities.

00:06:06.000 So now we go to fire aid.

00:06:10.000 This 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.

00:06:30.000 And as a victim, I'm thinking, okay, you know, we're going to get a few thousand dollars.

00:06:35.000 That's nice, or you know, you break a hundred million up, this should be a grand.

00:06:40.000 You know, even FEMA and these places, when you get that thousand dollar check, it's helpful.

00:06:45.000 You're like, oh, I just lost everything, every little thousand adds up.

00:06:49.000 So, 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?

00:07:08.000 Nobody got money.

00:07:09.000 And 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.

00:07:26.000 Well, I Google just to see because I know the definition of several.

00:07:30.000 I want to see what Google says several is.

00:07:32.000 It was definitely under 10.

00:07:34.000 So out of 200 plus.

00:07:37.000 NGOs, their own lawyers are saying several gave to fire victims.

00:07:41.000 And then you look at the three that they name, like, we gave gift cards to victims.

00:07:47.000 Which victims?

00:07:47.000 Which you were just handing out if you were.

00:07:50.000 But it was that that woke me up to.

00:07:53.000 They just stole the money.

00:07:54.000 And 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.

00:07:54.000 Yeah.

00:08:03.000 So that was a real wake up that put me into, oh, here's where the.

00:08:08.000 $25, $30 billion goes, it doesn't go to solving anything or fixing it.

00:08:12.000 It goes to scams.

00:08:14.000 Well, 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.

00:08:41.000 Whether it's homelessness.

00:08:42.000 The homelessness is one of the biggest ones in L.A. because there was 24 plus billion dollars spent on homelessness.

00:08:50.000 And when people, when representatives have tried to do an audit to find out where this money went, Newsom has blocked it.

00:08:58.000 He has vetoed this audit.

00:09:01.000 So, it's even worse in the sense that it's not going to just their salaries.

00:09:07.000 There are actual cases now with the DOJ and the Feds.

00:09:10.000 They're arresting people who are just stealing $30 million, $20 million, buying Bentleys, mansions in Brentwood.

00:09:17.000 So, the idea that it's just going to salaries and people are paying themselves out that's one.

00:09:22.000 But there are also people just straight up stealing money.

00:09:25.000 And you can't even figure out how they steal it. 0.99

00:09:28.000 For instance, this lovely lady came on my podcast. 0.99

00:09:32.000 She created her own charity type thing, the Integrity Project, to expose NGOs because she lives in Westwood.

00:09:38.000 And 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. 1.00

00:09:46.000 And the old person home, they were kicking all the senior citizens out.

00:09:50.000 And she's like, what's going on here?

00:09:52.000 And then next thing you know, the building's on the market for sale, and it's for $11 million.

00:09:58.000 Six days later, that building sells to a developer.

00:10:02.000 For $27 million.

00:10:05.000 Ends up this NGO, Weingart, who's one of the top.

00:10:08.000 I think they're at maybe $100 million just this year.

00:10:12.000 They haven't turned in their audit to the feds.

00:10:15.000 It's late right now.

00:10:16.000 But for instance, no one knows why it went from $11 million to $27 million over the weekend in three days.

00:10:22.000 So people pocket that money.

00:10:24.000 Here's the craziest part guess who?

00:10:26.000 So the grant, you know, Weingart gets a grant from the city of the state.

00:10:30.000 Guess who owns that building?

00:10:33.000 Not the city or the state, Weingart.

00:10:35.000 So, our tax money buys for 20 extra million dollars of property to have it as a homeless housing.

00:10:42.000 Each 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.

00:10:52.000 They still get paid as operators.

00:10:55.000 So, these NGOs not only get the money for the grants to buy the building, then they get like a million dollars a year to be operators.

00:11:02.000 And here's the best part there's no mandatory that they have to actually put a body in the beds.

00:11:08.000 So, the scam is like I keep saying, this is a cartel.

00:11:13.000 This is mafia.

00:11:14.000 This is real mafia criminal stuff going on. 1.00

00:11:18.000 And the problem is so, one thing I'm so excited to do when I'm mayor, and people in the comment section will be like, oh, he's so stupid. 1.00

00:11:25.000 You can't do that. 0.99

00:11:26.000 I've met with the IRS criminal investigation team three times in LA, twice in Washington, D.C.

00:11:32.000 And 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.

00:11:41.000 These investigations on fraud.

00:11:43.000 Right 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.

00:11:54.000 So, first week.

00:11:55.000 Sorry.

00:11:57.000 So, first week as mayor, I'm bringing in the criminal investigation team, the IRS.

00:12:01.000 Here's all the NGOs we're working with.

00:12:03.000 I guarantee you, 95% of them already just call and they're like, oh, Mayor Pratt, we're good.

00:12:09.000 We're actually going to Seattle.

00:12:10.000 We don't want to work here.

00:12:11.000 Once they know someone's coming to, Stop the cookie jar stealing.

00:12:15.000 And then when people are like, oh, LA has no money, how are you going to do all this stuff?

00:12:19.000 LA has plenty of money that we're just letting our tax money just be stolen and to increase a problem.

00:12:26.000 Homeless, since our current mayor, Karen Bass, has joined the city power, she's increased homeless.

00:12:32.000 They reference numbers. 0.98

00:12:34.000 They reference numbers that she'll be like, oh, we removed 1,500 people this year.

00:12:39.000 But 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.

00:12:49.000 I met with firefighters a few days ago at the Hollywood station, and they were telling me the amount of Narcan they go through.

00:12:58.000 So one night, I talked to MacArthur Park, their fire station, he did 17 overdoses.

00:13:06.000 In one night.

00:13:07.000 So if they're not there, given the narcotics, the amount of people dying is even more insane.

00:13:14.000 Right now, six people are dying a day in the street.

00:13:17.000 And then they say, oh, this is compassionate.

00:13:20.000 These people have rights.

00:13:21.000 No, these people do not have rights for us to just die.

00:13:23.000 We need to protect these people as humans.

00:13:26.000 And again, that's why my whole thing is enforce the law.

00:13:29.000 It is illegal to just be doing fentanyl on the street.

00:13:32.000 So 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.

00:13:41.000 They're torturing animals all day long on Skid Row.

00:13:45.000 The videos that I get sent, once you see them, you can't unsee them.

00:13:49.000 Not 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.

00:13:55.000 And the city knows they call the cops all day long.

00:13:58.000 The cops come and they say, I mean, LAPD's hands are tied.

00:14:01.000 If the mayor and the city attorney don't have like enforce the law, they just get away with it.

00:14:08.000 So we're, In Mad Max life in Los Angeles.

00:14:11.000 And people like to say, oh, it's not, it's, I'm from LA.

00:14:15.000 I've grown up.

00:14:16.000 And I keep saying, I'm fighting to get LA back to what I grew up.

00:14:20.000 It was beautiful.

00:14:21.000 It's why I wanted to be on a TV show and be famous and be part of Hollywood.

00:14:26.000 It was magical.

00:14:27.000 Not even mention Hollywood is now gone. 0.95

00:14:29.000 The 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.

00:14:41.000 Inhaling fentanyl.

00:14:43.000 Everyone can just smoke fentanyl in the streets now.

00:14:45.000 It's psycho.

00:14:47.000 So, again, why did I. Once you start digging in and you spend all your life now exposing this, because again, they burned my house down.

00:14:55.000 They burned my mom's house down.

00:14:57.000 I have to.

00:14:58.000 They put me in the game.

00:14:59.000 And once the bubble's gone, all I have is this energy to stop this.

00:15:05.000 Not to mention now the amount of thousands of messages I get every day from every part of the city sending me photos.

00:15:12.000 There'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.

00:15:27.000 There's just naked people everywhere now. 0.95

00:15:29.000 And when I say people, naked zombies.

00:15:31.000 And the DEA will tell you 90% of these homeless people have a drug problem.

00:15:36.000 We have a drug addict problem.

00:15:39.000 These aren't people that just like missed a paycheck and we need to get them help and get back.

00:15:43.000 This is a drug problem that needs mandatory treatment, not handing people needles and pipes and saying, oh, here's a million dollar bed.

00:15:51.000 If 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.

00:16:01.000 Oh, retirement.

00:16:02.000 Got me pumped up.

00:16:03.000 Got me pumped up.

00:16:04.000 It's good to be pumped up.

00:16:06.000 I mean, there's no other explanation other than extensive fraud.

00:16:09.000 There's no way they could be getting that much money from our taxes and have this big of a problem with crime and with homelessness.

00:16:16.000 And it's almost like they want everybody to feel helpless.

00:16:20.000 They want you to feel like there's nothing you do so that it justifies throwing more money at the problem.

00:16:26.000 Pull that article up again.

00:16:29.000 So here it is.

00:16:31.000 This is an LA is homelessness deal now under federal investigation.

00:16:37.000 So, even in LA's famously overheated real estate market, the profit and quick turnaround on senior housing complex and what's that word?

00:16:46.000 Chevyot?

00:16:47.000 How do you say that word?

00:16:47.000 Chevyot?

00:16:48.000 Chevyot Hills?

00:16:48.000 Chevyot Hills.

00:16:49.000 Do you know where that is?

00:16:51.000 Neighborhood seems extraordinary.

00:16:52.000 Man 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.

00:17:03.000 Purchase record shows.

00:17:05.000 Okay, 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.

00:17:18.000 LA 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.

00:17:29.000 The deal called for Taylor's involvement to be kept secret, according to a confidentiality clause included in the purchase contract.

00:17:37.000 Obtained through a public records request that changed last month when federal authorities announced criminal charges against Taylor.

00:17:43.000 He's accused of submitting fraudulent documents to borrow money from private lenders when he bought this and other properties.

00:17:53.000 So, news conference, region's top federal prosecutor, Bill Assale, said the investigation is ongoing.

00:18:03.000 Taylor was arrested in August when the case was under seal and pleaded not guilty.

00:18:07.000 Court records show it's the first of the two known criminal cases brought so far by the federal task force.

00:18:13.000 Assale assembled in April to investigate fraud and corruption around the use of billions of dollars earmarked to combat homelessness in Southern California.

00:18:21.000 So, these people are just buccaneers. 0.96

00:18:23.000 They're just buccaneers. 0.96

00:18:24.000 This is a.

00:18:26.000 Just a gigantic criminal enterprise that exists under this guise of, you know, being kind.

00:18:35.000 So that case only exists because of that mom, Samantha, did 7,500 of her own public records requests on that senior citizen home.

00:18:47.000 And then the FBI came to, she started posting it, and the FBI knocked on her door and said, Can we meet with you?

00:18:52.000 And she gave them all of her files.

00:18:53.000 So it's back to what I was saying the feds wouldn't even got that story. 0.95

00:18:57.000 If 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?

00:19:08.000 This episode is brought to you by Ketone IQ.

00:19:11.000 The demands on my time, energy, and focus are immense.

00:19:14.000 So when I need my brain to lock in for hours and hours and fire at its fastest, most alert state, I'm taking Ketone IQ.

00:19:23.000 It's an energy shot powered by this little miracle molecule that your body already naturally makes and your brain especially loves.

00:19:32.000 Ketones.

00:19:33.000 I've been talking about ketones for over a decade, and this company's finally figured out how to put them in a bottle.

00:19:39.000 When I take Ketone IQ, I drop right into a state of laser like focus and sustained mental clarity.

00:20:14.000 That's how confident they are that you're going to love the increased focus you get from Ketone IQ.

00:20:19.000 Well, this has got to be just one piece of the puzzle.

00:20:23.000 That's $30 million of $25 plus billion.

00:20:26.000 So, this is an extensive coordinated effort to siphon money.

00:20:33.000 100%.

00:20:34.000 And again, there's plenty of money to stop homelessness. 1.00

00:20:38.000 Karen Bass will tell you, let's use her low number, made up number. 1.00

00:20:42.000 They go around and they count.

00:20:44.000 This is a real thing.

00:20:45.000 They drive around and they do the homeless count.

00:20:47.000 You can volunteer and you just count.

00:20:48.000 Like, oh, one, two.

00:20:49.000 That's how they do it?

00:20:50.000 Yes.

00:20:51.000 They just had a count recently.

00:20:52.000 So the count supposedly is, let's say, 45,000.

00:20:57.000 The Rand Corporation will say that count is 30% low.

00:21:01.000 I'll say that counts 100% low.

00:21:03.000 But even so, let's say there's 100,000 homeless people in Los Angeles.

00:21:08.000 $20 billion.

00:21:09.000 Okay, that's California.

00:21:11.000 Let's bring it down to in the last year or two, a couple billion dollars.

00:21:15.000 We can't get people off the street with that much money.

00:21:20.000 Just today, this DSA city council member was doing a video.

00:21:23.000 She's bragging about, oh, I just secured a $16 million grant.

00:21:27.000 I love when they use the grant.

00:21:28.000 I just got $16 million more of our tax money.

00:21:31.000 And she is putting in little tiny homes next to somebody, like just next to a normal street where, again, this shouldn't be where that is. 0.71

00:21:38.000 And it's housing.

00:21:40.000 Approximately, I say 60 people or whatever.

00:21:43.000 It was a quarter million dollars per person that they're bragging about.

00:21:48.000 $250,000 a person can get anybody sober, a nice little condo or apartment for a year, potentially whatever job tools you need.

00:21:59.000 So, this idea that takes a quarter million dollars to put a tiny one, it's everyone's getting a cut.

00:22:05.000 It's like, again, it's like the mafia.

00:22:07.000 So, there's a bunch of things going on.

00:22:09.000 There's a bunch of employees that are getting paid.

00:22:12.000 So, and getting paid substantial amounts of money.

00:22:15.000 You know, my friend Colian Noir found this out about San Francisco.

00:22:18.000 So, he went up to San Francisco.

00:22:20.000 He saw all this homelessness and he's a lawyer, but he's also, he doesn't know what's going on over there.

00:22:25.000 He's like, wow, what's going on?

00:22:26.000 Do they need more money?

00:22:27.000 He's like, no.

00:22:30.000 What'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.

00:22:43.000 And these people are making quarter million dollars a year plus, which is insane.

00:22:47.000 And he showed the list of the salaries of all these people.

00:22:50.000 How 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?

00:23:02.000 And it's not getting any better, but the money keeps coming in.

00:23:05.000 So you're incentivized to keep the problem and increase it.

00:23:09.000 Yes.

00:23:10.000 More money.

00:23:11.000 Right.

00:23:11.000 It's a business.

00:23:12.000 And, you know, people always talk.

00:23:13.000 I grew up and I was well aware of the military industrial complex, but even with that, they track the bombs and the fighter jets.

00:23:21.000 This, it's even.

00:23:23.000 It's even crazier because there's no, I think we serve, they use the word serve and cared for.

00:23:29.000 They don't track results.

00:23:31.000 They say, oh, we house 1,400 people for a night, two nights.

00:23:36.000 You know, it's not like we're getting people have bracelets and we're tracking them and they're getting air tags.

00:23:41.000 We have no idea what's going on.

00:23:43.000 So 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.

00:23:54.000 That is why I thank God our amazing Democrats in California made this year SB 43.

00:24:00.000 And 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.

00:24:08.000 And if it seems like, oh, this person needs real treatment, it can go to 45 days.

00:24:13.000 And then it can go up to a year conservatorship.

00:24:16.000 And 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.

00:24:28.000 We 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.

00:24:50.000 Because if you abuse animals, once again, once you see what I've seen, we're talking they're stapling dogs' eyes closed, lighting.

00:24:57.000 I mean, I can't even.

00:24:59.000 It's.

00:25:00.000 Insane.

00:25:01.000 The shelters alone, where it's the city is doing mass murder because they're not giving these people enough funding.

00:25:08.000 And I'm convinced now they must make money off of euthanizing.

00:25:13.000 So, 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.

00:25:33.000 So, back to you enforce the law, and this isn't impossible.

00:25:37.000 I'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.

00:25:44.000 And he started enforcing the law and just saying, you can't do this.

00:25:47.000 And he has cleaned up the city pretty well.

00:25:50.000 You know, there's obviously people that say he's not doing enough.

00:25:53.000 And again, I'm sorry, what city is this?

00:25:54.000 San Francisco.

00:25:56.000 And so he took the call from the feds and he said, I'm going to do this.

00:26:00.000 And he's doing a solid job.

00:26:02.000 Again, I'm going whole next level because I'm not concerned about optics.

00:26:06.000 I'm not concerned about, oh, Spencer's doing this.

00:26:09.000 He's so mean. 0.94

00:26:10.000 No, what's mean is letting people live on the street in human poop and dying on the street.

00:26:15.000 And these people I run against, they're all the same.

00:26:17.000 They go, Oh, we need more housing.

00:26:19.000 We need more affordable housing. 0.80

00:26:20.000 We need more beds.

00:26:21.000 This isn't working.

00:26:23.000 They just keep doubling down.

00:26:24.000 Well, that's a false narrative.

00:26:25.000 Everybody knows it's not a housing problem.

00:26:28.000 That's not what it is.

00:26:29.000 It's a drug abuse and mental health problem.

00:26:31.000 That's all it is.

00:26:32.000 It's not a housing problem.

00:26:34.000 That's a flat out lie.

00:26:35.000 And anybody who says that should be shamed. 1.00

00:26:37.000 When they say we need more affordable housing, well, you're fucking lying. 1.00

00:26:41.000 And you're part of the problem. 0.99

00:26:42.000 If you're saying it's just an affordable housing problem, that means.

00:26:46.000 Either you are a part of the propaganda narrative and you've been told to say this, or you're in on it.

00:26:52.000 100%.

00:26:53.000 And what they do. 0.99

00:26:54.000 At this point, it's fucking nuts. 0.99

00:26:56.000 Look. 0.99

00:26:57.000 Skid Row is 50 blocks.

00:26:59.000 It can't even be called Skid Row anymore.

00:27:01.000 It's called Los Angeles.

00:27:03.000 Every community. 1.00

00:27:04.000 Before 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. 0.99

00:27:20.000 You call LAPD, they pull up and they go, You don't know why?

00:27:25.000 Because they can't before I saw.

00:27:26.000 She'd go around the corner and she'd go number two in front of Joe's barbershop.

00:27:31.000 I would know because I had to step over the number two because I'd always park right near Joe's barbershop.

00:27:36.000 So it's not Skid Row, it's everywhere.

00:27:38.000 So the police are told not to do anything about it?

00:27:41.000 Is that what it is?

00:27:43.000 If you don't enforce the law, what are they going to do?

00:27:46.000 So this comes down from the mayor.

00:27:46.000 Right.

00:27:48.000 Of course.

00:27:49.000 And the mayor.

00:27:50.000 And the city attorney.

00:27:51.000 If the mayor is not telling the city attorney to prosecute all these misdemeanors, put these people in mandatory hold.

00:27:57.000 If you're cleaning your private parts in front of kids and you're a normal citizen, you are going to jail.

00:28:03.000 You're going to be on the citizens app as a sex offender.

00:28:06.000 Right.

00:28:06.000 But the consequences for zombie people, they don't have them.

00:28:11.000 That's crazy.

00:28:12.000 It's not fair for all the normal tax paying people in Los Angeles that we have to.

00:28:17.000 Abide by laws, and then there's a whole class that's like it's like anarchy, it's like it's psycho.

00:28:23.000 It's so weird to see, you know, because I lived in LA for so long, and when I first moved there in the 90s, there was nothing like this.

00:28:33.000 It was nice, you know, I mean, it was a lot of traffic, but that was it.

00:28:36.000 There was some crime, but it wasn't that bad, and everything just keeps getting worse and worse and worse.

00:28:42.000 And it didn't seem really bad until Skid Row was always bad, and Skid Row was bad.

00:28:50.000 On purpose.

00:28:50.000 So, 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.

00:29:00.000 So, 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.

00:29:17.000 And it's hard to believe that it's real if you haven't seen it.

00:29:23.000 When you're talking.

00:29:24.000 Just blocks and blocks and blocks where there's nothing but homeless people.

00:29:30.000 Just people on the streets, camped out, wandering through the streets.

00:29:34.000 There's no cars driving whatsoever, garbage everywhere. 0.99

00:29:37.000 And the idea that that's never been cleaned up is fucking insane.

00:29:42.000 So, what we found out is that that was an area a long time ago where they started moving people. 0.88

00:29:47.000 I don't know when was this.

00:29:48.000 This was the Jerome Hotel, right?

00:29:51.000 That's what we talked about?

00:29:52.000 That's what it was.

00:29:53.000 So, there was a documentary on the Jerome Hotel.

00:29:56.000 And 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.

00:30:14.000 The idea was to keep them there.

00:30:15.000 They had food there for them, they had kitchens, they let them camp out on the street, just stay here.

00:30:21.000 And it ruined all Cecil, the Cecil Hotel.

00:30:23.000 That's right. 0.88

00:30:24.000 So, 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.

00:30:39.000 Like the sheer volume of it is impossible to describe unless you go there and see it.

00:30:45.000 And 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.

00:30:57.000 It's all just taken over by zombies.

00:31:00.000 I went to USC and I lived in a loft on Skid Row at the top of the old bank district.

00:31:05.000 So in 2003, that was my street that I would pull in and park.

00:31:11.000 Very good deal.

00:31:11.000 That's why I was like, this is, I got an entire penthouse.

00:31:14.000 Why, you know, I didn't get, you know, at 20.

00:31:16.000 Why?

00:31:17.000 It was so cheap.

00:31:18.000 But so I've seen the progression to the point where it's insane.

00:31:23.000 And again, this is fixable.

00:31:26.000 There's so much money.

00:31:27.000 We're already paying for it.

00:31:29.000 Right. 0.88

00:31:29.000 These people in charge don't want to fix it. 0.88

00:31:32.000 And they'll continue doubling down.

00:31:32.000 Right.

00:31:32.000 It's clear.

00:31:35.000 They need somebody to come and say, Oh, we're done with this.

00:31:37.000 And that's why I'm excited to actually be a mayor that's in these streets.

00:31:42.000 And here's what they keep saying Oh, you can't do this because the city council, they're all in on it.

00:31:46.000 You 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.

00:31:55.000 Why do you think they want to do that?

00:31:58.000 Because they're socialists.

00:31:59.000 Go on the DSA, Democratic Socialists of America's website, and they're not Democrats.

00:32:04.000 They hate Democrats.

00:32:05.000 They use the word to hide their true agenda of socialism.

00:32:09.000 So they want to keep taking as much of our tax money. 0.83

00:32:13.000 And the main lady I was talking about with that, 60 million, she's one of these DSA people. 1.00

00:32:17.000 She's bragging about taking $16 million of our tax money to give 40 plus people or 50 people $250,000 each to live in a tiny home. 1.00

00:32:26.000 That is not a working solution. 0.80

00:32:28.000 We 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.

00:32:41.000 Yeah, this is the problem with that narrative that the rich people aren't paying enough.

00:32:44.000 And this is one of the things that I've seen progressive podcasters talk about the wealth tax.

00:32:49.000 And they were talking about imposing a wealth tax on billionaires.

00:32:52.000 And they're like, stop being greedy, pay your fair share.

00:32:55.000 Like, what is your fair share and where is it going?

00:32:58.000 Like, if you could show me that an increase in taxes would fix all the problems.

00:33:03.000 I said this when I lived there.

00:33:04.000 I wouldn't mind paying more taxes if they fixed everything, but it doesn't seem like it fixes anything.

00:33:10.000 Not one thing gets fixed, and they keep asking for more money, which is crazy.

00:33:16.000 The solution is to cut it all off.

00:33:19.000 One of the things that Texas has no state taxes.

00:33:23.000 There's no state taxes.

00:33:25.000 You don't pay state taxes in Texas.

00:33:28.000 In California, you pay 14%.

00:33:30.000 So, they're incentivized to take that money and do with it whatever they want. 0.65

00:33:36.000 And 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.

00:33:46.000 And again, as mayor, I want to have full accountability and transparency where that's what everybody that's paying.

00:33:52.000 There'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.

00:34:01.000 If there's less crime, if it's safe, if it's nice, if it's clean.

00:34:04.000 So, when you track.

00:34:05.000 Every single dollar and make sure that there's no waste and abuse.

00:34:10.000 And with that type of live dashboard, not track it with these weird data.

00:34:14.000 I'm talking anyone can understand this money goes here.

00:34:17.000 And we're talking real accounting.

00:34:20.000 They don't want to do this because everyone's eating, everyone's getting a cut.

00:34:24.000 All these people are living off of the scam.

00:34:27.000 So you need to come in and really just say no more of this.

00:34:31.000 So let's talk real world practical application.

00:34:34.000 So you get into office.

00:34:36.000 Now you have all these council members that.

00:34:39.000 These democratic socialist people, how do you handle that?

00:34:42.000 What do you do?

00:34:43.000 How do you keep them from blocking all these things you're trying to do?

00:34:46.000 So, 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.

00:34:57.000 For instance, this DSA member wants to keep giving the fentanyl needles and the pipes.

00:35:02.000 Then I go to that district, I have a press conference, I bring everybody, I say, This so and so wants to keep these zombies. 0.89

00:35:09.000 Going number two and having sex in front of your kids and put the heat on the city council members. 0.95

00:35:15.000 Right now, they care about their jobs. 0.59

00:35:17.000 They get $238,000 a year salary.

00:35:21.000 They get not even including their entourage.

00:35:23.000 Then they get our grants and our tax money for all their little scams they're running.

00:35:28.000 So they actually want those jobs.

00:35:30.000 If a mayor comes in and is like, oh, I'm going to put the heat on each one of you.

00:35:35.000 Because right now, the mayor, Karen Bass, isn't calling out each district and their failures.

00:35:42.000 These constituents, the taxpayers need.

00:35:45.000 Somebody to come in and expose each of these districts and go into their communities and be like, this is what you're voting for.

00:35:51.000 So at least at the next election, they're out.

00:35:54.000 So then once they start feeling the pressure, somebody on their neck, they're going to start be like, oh, I want to keep my job.

00:36:00.000 I like this power.

00:36:01.000 Well, there's been a concerted effort to put those people in the government, right?

00:36:04.000 And, 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.

00:36:15.000 But there's more than just him.

00:36:19.000 There's a whole machine behind it.

00:36:20.000 And this is what I don't understand.

00:36:22.000 Because if you wanted to destroy a city, if you wanted to destroy society, you would do it exactly the way they're doing it.

00:36:28.000 So, what is their incentive and why are they doing it this way?

00:36:32.000 Well, they want to destroy it to then rebuild it in their vision.

00:36:35.000 The second my town burned down and it's all dirt, who's coming in with the ideas?

00:36:39.000 Oh, we got $100 million for affordable housing.

00:36:42.000 We're going to do this.

00:36:44.000 They have a plan, they have a vision that's not going to work, but they have their utopia.

00:36:50.000 That they would love to then ruin it.

00:36:52.000 How do you say it's not going to work?

00:36:53.000 What's going to stop them from doing that?

00:36:54.000 Because socialism has failed everywhere.

00:36:57.000 It's certainly going to fail.

00:36:58.000 But what's to stop them from ruining the Palisades?

00:37:03.000 I stopped them.

00:37:03.000 I did.

00:37:04.000 They can say that SB 79 or whatever their housing thing was never going to apply to Palisades.

00:37:11.000 But 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.

00:37:23.000 Because what they do, there's a new state law that just got passed. 1.00

00:37:26.000 And if you're, again, these aren't exact, all the Yimbis are going to go nuts. 1.00

00:37:30.000 I'm saying it wrong. 1.00

00:37:31.000 What's a Yimbie?

00:37:33.000 Your, something about your backyard. 0.99

00:37:35.000 Now, my, Who knows?

00:37:37.000 I 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.

00:37:48.000 How then we need to build these seven, nine story structures to have more affordable housing.

00:37:54.000 So they want to get rid of single family homes and put seven story buildings on.

00:37:59.000 So the NIMBYs, not in my backyard, they fight these people on X.

00:38:05.000 So, You know, to be honest, I'm not either of them.

00:38:08.000 They try to, I'm fine with more housing, but I also want people to have single family homes.

00:38:13.000 And 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.

00:38:25.000 Not that, oh, we've given up.

00:38:27.000 Nobody should ever get that.

00:38:28.000 We need to build these seven story prison like structures and give anyone who can't afford just a box to live in. 1.00

00:38:34.000 Let's fight to get the California. 1.00

00:38:37.000 Where people had a front yard and ground.

00:38:39.000 Well, 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.

00:38:52.000 And the idea that you're going to take that over with low income housing, well, those people are going to move out of there.

00:38:58.000 And there goes the tax money from those people.

00:39:01.000 Not only that, those people lost their homes.

00:39:03.000 Their homes were taken from them by the fire.

00:39:06.000 And that's not fair.

00:39:07.000 It's not fair at all that you would just do that.

00:39:10.000 It doesn't make any sense.

00:39:11.000 I like to use the word stolen.

00:39:13.000 The houses were stolen from all these people.

00:39:15.000 A 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.

00:39:27.000 That's it?

00:39:27.000 But growing up.

00:39:28.000 Really?

00:39:29.000 10 years?

00:39:29.000 Yeah.

00:39:30.000 Where we're talking big, you know, $40 million type big houses.

00:39:36.000 Like when I grew up.

00:39:37.000 I thought it was always like that.

00:39:38.000 I thought it was always nice.

00:39:38.000 No.

00:39:39.000 It was nice, but, you know, lawyers and doctors, you know, not.

00:39:44.000 Silicon Valley and movies, you know, hardworking people passed these houses down generations.

00:39:50.000 So they were nice houses, but, you know, your great grandfather probably passed a house down.

00:39:55.000 And, you know, my dad's a dentist.

00:39:57.000 He came in, he was a surfing dentist and was able to get a house in the Palisades.

00:40:01.000 And it's a beautiful area.

00:40:02.000 Yeah, it's a gorgeous area, amazing weather.

00:40:05.000 And the people should know that an area bigger than the size of Manhattan burnt to the ground.

00:40:13.000 So let's go back.

00:40:14.000 Let's do the fire because that's a great.

00:40:16.000 We 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.

00:40:24.000 So people would think about the Palisades fire and they go, oh, January 7th.

00:40:27.000 Well, what happened?

00:40:29.000 The fire for January 7th actually started on New Year's Eve.

00:40:32.000 So there's a case right now, it's kind of fallen through the cracks.

00:40:36.000 It may not go forward.

00:40:37.000 There's an arson case.

00:40:39.000 Supposedly, allegedly, this guy lit a fire at New Year's Eve with a lighter or a cigarette and there was an eight acre fire.

00:40:46.000 Now, According to witness testimony, there are about 30 people that saw fireworks go into this site called at Lockman, Skull Rock.

00:40:54.000 So at New Year's Eve, the eight acre fire starts, LAFD responds.

00:41:00.000 But the issue, what people don't understand, when they respond, they can't come up there with heavy dozers.

00:41:05.000 So, 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.

00:41:15.000 Ideally, you'd want the fire break before, which Because of California state parks and plant over people policies, we don't have fire breaks.

00:41:23.000 So, dead fuels, dead brush has been growing around lots of communities for 50, 60 years.

00:41:29.000 So, right now, the Palisades burned down.

00:41:32.000 But what's next is Brentwood, Hollywood Hills, Sunland, Tahunga, what else?

00:41:40.000 Bel Air.

00:41:41.000 All these are going there.

00:41:42.000 I'm sorry, people, you live here.

00:41:44.000 They're all going to burn down if we don't come in here, make fire breaks.

00:41:48.000 300 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. 0.99

00:41:56.000 And 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. 0.99

00:42:07.000 So if you have a break, it creates a moat type situation. 0.99

00:42:10.000 And now the firefighters have a chance to get up there and respond.

00:42:14.000 So back to January 1st, they couldn't bring their dozers up.

00:42:18.000 We 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.

00:42:26.000 So 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.

00:42:35.000 I know the rule, you know, protected plants.

00:42:38.000 Keep in mind, I never knew about this plant.

00:42:40.000 It's called milk vetch.

00:42:42.000 Nobody respectfully cares about milk vetch, but somebody in the environmental world cares more about milk vetch than 12 people.

00:42:50.000 Burning alive because the plant that was protected is the reason pretty much these people burned alive.

00:42:56.000 So they do their best, you know, the LAFD puts it out, but now we know that the fire was still smoldering.

00:43:04.000 We have hiking footage of the next day and the day after in the state park, Topanga State Park, hikers, tourists.

00:43:11.000 We have a guy who lived down the street.

00:43:13.000 Of course, he had his own drone that had not only a regular drone, he had a thermal imaging drone.

00:43:18.000 So the whole hillside is just smoking.

00:43:21.000 And we now have.

00:43:22.000 A firefighter Pike on his subpoena video, he says that he clearly saw smoldering pockets of coal that he didn't want to touch.

00:43:33.000 And he informed his chief, Hey, we can't pull the hoses.

00:43:36.000 And the chief said, Pull the hoses.

00:43:39.000 Not just Pike, multiple firefighters have now said that it was all smoking.

00:43:43.000 But why would they pull the hoses?

00:43:46.000 After meeting with so many firefighters since, I've realized the fire department is so understaffed, so underfunded, they're operating a fire department.

00:43:56.000 From the 1960s, with 50% more calls now.

00:44:00.000 80% of them are for zombies to overdoses.

00:44:04.000 30% of the fires are zombie encampment fires.

00:44:07.000 So to me, now I'm trying to get in that chief.

00:44:10.000 I spoke with that chief on the phone and In my mind, it's a budget thing.

00:44:16.000 Everything's just like, oh, we don't have, you know, clocks ticking.

00:44:19.000 We don't have the money to stay up here with the hoses.

00:44:22.000 Because three years earlier, that same area in the Highlands, I think they left the hoses up in the Palisades for 18 months.

00:44:27.000 You leave the hoses up because it stays hot and they have them up.

00:44:31.000 They pulled them the next day.

00:44:32.000 So I think it's a funding thing.

00:44:34.000 I 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.

00:44:46.000 I cannot keep Angelino safe.

00:44:47.000 What does Mayor Bass do?

00:44:49.000 Cuts another $17 million from the fire department.

00:44:52.000 So, in my mind, the chief's like, I can't, I don't have the money to leave guys up here.

00:44:57.000 We got to go.

00:44:58.000 So, has anyone asked her what was her justification for the cuts?

00:45:02.000 Well, the city's broke.

00:45:03.000 The city has no money.

00:45:04.000 But how do they have so much money to buy homes and homeless shelters and spend all that money?

00:45:09.000 Here's the best part.

00:45:10.000 I've now found out since then there was $400 million just in an account that they hadn't even touched for homeless.

00:45:18.000 Literally, 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.

00:45:26.000 So they got it for the zombies, not for the tax paying citizens, public safety, not to mention.

00:45:32.000 Back to the taxpayers.

00:45:34.000 The Palisades probably is largely at the time of the fire, was probably the most money in taxes going to the city from the Palisades.

00:45:42.000 So you don't, back to Lachman.

00:45:45.000 So they leave because if you listen to their testimony, the state park rangers say, oh, we got this.

00:45:50.000 We'll keep an eye on this.

00:45:52.000 In the subpoena depositions, they asked one of the state park rangers, well, did you see the smoldering hill?

00:45:58.000 They say, yeah.

00:45:59.000 What'd you do?

00:46:00.000 Oh, I took a photo.

00:46:01.000 What'd you do with the photo?

00:46:02.000 Nothing.

00:46:03.000 Well, I'm not a firefighter.

00:46:03.000 What do you mean?

00:46:05.000 So 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.

00:46:14.000 Did they close the state park?

00:46:16.000 No worse.

00:46:17.000 Guess what the state park rangers asked the firefighters to do?

00:46:21.000 And there's photos.

00:46:22.000 It's mind boggling.

00:46:23.000 They 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.

00:46:34.000 They take the dead bushes and they cover up the fire break.

00:46:38.000 There's photos of it.

00:46:39.000 It's the craziest thing you've ever seen.

00:46:41.000 Because they didn't want people to go on the wrong trails because they look like hiking trails now.

00:46:41.000 What?

00:46:47.000 So they take.

00:46:48.000 So 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.

00:47:01.000 You can't siphon money off of the fire department.

00:47:04.000 The fire department basically just goes to fight fires, it goes to equipment, people's salaries, maintaining the fire departments.

00:47:12.000 You can't steal that money.

00:47:14.000 You want to know how sick it is right now?

00:47:16.000 The fire department, LAFD, their union, all the members, huh, get like choked up.

00:47:21.000 I 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.

00:47:27.000 They had to take their own money.

00:47:29.000 To 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.

00:47:44.000 But 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.

00:47:55.000 That they got to go out of it and make sure there's only one way to look at it.

00:47:59.000 You would look at it like, well, what would be the logical reason?

00:48:01.000 Why would they allocate so much money towards homelessness and so little towards the fire department?

00:48:06.000 When 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.

00:48:14.000 If 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.

00:48:23.000 One 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.

00:48:30.000 The fire department doesn't just protect the rich people, it protects all people.

00:48:34.000 Fires break out, the fire department comes in, regardless whether you have any money or not.

00:48:38.000 We all pool our money together for the fire department.

00:48:41.000 It makes sense.

00:48:42.000 But if it's that, you can't steal that money, right?

00:48:47.000 So there's no way you can figure out the homelessness.

00:48:51.000 It's vague, it's weird.

00:48:53.000 You could hide it.

00:48:54.000 It's like you're counting bodies on the street.

00:48:57.000 Oh, one, two, three.

00:48:58.000 Let's write 5,000.

00:49:00.000 Like you don't have real accounting for these people because it's so chaotic.

00:49:05.000 But, fire department, you know the employees, you know the fire department, you know where the trucks are, you know where everything is.

00:49:11.000 You can't steal that money.

00:49:12.000 But, that homeless budget, boy, there's a lot of wiggle room in that homeless budget.

00:49:18.000 And if you wanted to be cynical, you would say that's why they fund the fire department so little and they fund the homeless so much.

00:49:28.000 Well, also, these DSA socialists, they don't want to fund the fire department.

00:49:34.000 They don't want to fund the police department.

00:49:36.000 They want these type of entities to be defunded.

00:49:39.000 They don't even want them to exist.

00:49:41.000 It's on their hands.

00:49:41.000 So, what do they expect when fires happen?

00:49:44.000 Right now, they want things just to burn.

00:49:47.000 If you look around the city. 1.00

00:49:48.000 How the fuck do these people get in office? 0.99

00:49:50.000 Like, who's voting for them? 0.99

00:49:51.000 They're tricky.

00:49:52.000 They have these ground teams, and they go around.

00:49:55.000 They got a real ground game, and they go knock on old people's doors, and they say, oh, we're Democrats.

00:50:00.000 We helped the.

00:50:01.000 They have nice words and they got a strong, like in LA, I think there's 5,000 at least members that can hit the street.

00:50:09.000 Whereas a normal, you know, for instance, Spencer Pratt running for mayor, I don't have 5,000 people on deck to go knock on doors.

00:50:15.000 And not to mention, they're funded.

00:50:17.000 They have 100,000 plus members across the U.S., they have outside entities that give them money.

00:50:22.000 And again, they're sneaky. 0.99

00:50:24.000 If you go watch on YouTube videos, they talk so much SHIT about Democrats, Republicans. 1.00

00:50:31.000 They hate all these people. 1.00

00:50:32.000 So they don't want, Either party, they want them.

00:50:35.000 Here's the craziest part this should be legal.

00:50:37.000 Like right now, the one who's running against me, they're Democrat, you know, socialist, champagne queen. 0.84

00:50:43.000 She, when you sign up with the DSA, you sign it like a contract to co govern with the DSA.

00:50:50.000 How is it legal when you are what?

00:50:53.000 Yes, wait a minute, explain that.

00:50:55.000 So, 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.

00:51:05.000 So, right now she's not representing her district.

00:51:08.000 As an American citizen, a Los Angeles, she's representing the Democrat Socialists of America.

00:51:13.000 Yes.

00:51:13.000 Wow.

00:51:14.000 And that should be co governed.

00:51:16.000 I mean, illegal.

00:51:16.000 That should be illegal.

00:51:17.000 And so they can just go full ham with all these radical ideas.

00:51:20.000 Yeah.

00:51:21.000 And their idea is to just come in, take all of our tax money, and keep trying to invent this. 0.97

00:51:27.000 They've, like, for instance, that lady has had six years in charge of her city council. 0.99

00:51:32.000 Her thousands of her constituents message me, photos. 1.00

00:51:35.000 It looks like, again, Mad Max in her area. 1.00

00:51:38.000 So we're going to put her in charge.

00:51:41.000 The only thing worse, actually, than. 1.00

00:51:43.000 The Cuban communist Karen Bass is actually a socialist DSA.

00:51:48.000 So I'm running against worse and worse. 0.58

00:51:51.000 It's truly.

00:51:52.000 Is Karen Bass running for reelection?

00:51:54.000 Yeah.

00:51:54.000 That's why I stepped in.

00:51:55.000 When I saw her announce, I was like, oh no, you don't get to burn my house down.

00:51:59.000 Do people, like, what is the general population?

00:52:03.000 Like, what, how, I think most people have jobs and families and they're busy.

00:52:08.000 They're very busy.

00:52:09.000 So it's very difficult to be completely informed about all this.

00:52:12.000 What is the general perception of Karen Bass?

00:52:15.000 Like, what is her approval rating in Los Angeles?

00:52:17.000 So she has the record lowest approval rating in the history right now.

00:52:21.000 So UCLA just did a poll about a week ago.

00:52:23.000 I'm number two to Karen Bass.

00:52:25.000 She has.

00:52:26.000 I think approximately 20 something percent.

00:52:28.000 I think I have 13 percent with 40 percent undecided.

00:52:32.000 Those 40 percent, I keep saying, those are my voters.

00:52:36.000 Those are people that are fed up.

00:52:38.000 They know they're not voting for Karen Bass.

00:52:40.000 They just don't know.

00:52:40.000 There's a guy named Spencer Pratt that's saying, we need common sense.

00:52:44.000 We need to clean these streets.

00:52:45.000 No more fentanyl at the park. 0.99

00:52:47.000 Parents need to feel comfortable taking their kids to school without seeing met zombies having sex on the side of the street.

00:52:54.000 We're talking common sense.

00:52:56.000 Political, what I'm running on, not to mention the mayor is a nonpartisan race.

00:53:01.000 There's no letters on it for a reason.

00:53:03.000 The mayor is supposed to represent all of Los Angeles, period.

00:53:07.000 It'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.

00:53:20.000 That's the problem.

00:53:21.000 Everyone gets caught up in the media and they follow what's going on in different states and different politics and the federal government when.

00:53:30.000 The 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.

00:53:39.000 When I'm mayor, I'm wiping out this fire commission. 0.83

00:53:42.000 We're putting actual experts that know what they're talking about, not these rando political pointy lunatics.

00:53:49.000 Same with the police commission.

00:53:50.000 You need to have people that pride themselves in law enforcement and want accountability and want the best from the police department.

00:53:56.000 You know, the police department is the lowest it's been in 30 years in Los Angeles.

00:54:01.000 And here's my favorite thing.

00:54:02.000 In terms of staff?

00:54:03.000 Yeah, in terms of police officers.

00:54:05.000 30 years.

00:54:06.000 30 years.

00:54:07.000 Here's the best part.

00:54:08.000 They will tell you, the mayor said, crime is down.

00:54:11.000 I have truly, because I spend all day long just reading DMs.

00:54:15.000 It's down in terms of its reporting.

00:54:17.000 Thank you.

00:54:18.000 Every message I get, they say, call 911.

00:54:21.000 You'll be on hold for God knows how long.

00:54:24.000 If 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.

00:54:33.000 Nobody's filing it.

00:54:34.000 They don't have the staff to be doing that.

00:54:36.000 So the real crime numbers, Are so insane.

00:54:40.000 Not to mention, Karen Bass will brag about homicides are down. 0.98

00:54:44.000 First off, that's a national trend. 0.93

00:54:45.000 She's taking credit for the whole United States down, but I even have another angle on that. 0.99

00:54:50.000 I'd have to go probably to some emergency hospitals.

00:54:53.000 But I think Los Angeles has such good trauma nurses and trauma doctors.

00:54:59.000 The amount of stabbings and shootings they probably keep people alive, that's the real number.

00:55:05.000 You 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?

00:55:13.000 That keeps people alive just on the metro alone.

00:55:17.000 The stabbings are everything is double last year.

00:55:20.000 So these people are living, but everyone's getting stabbed everywhere.

00:55:23.000 I 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.

00:55:29.000 Well, as mayor on the metros in Los Angeles, Mayor Pratt will make sure you're going to be free from stabbings.

00:55:36.000 So there you go.

00:55:38.000 You're welcome.

00:55:39.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

00:55:41.000 It's like just because the actual murders are down, it doesn't mean that the actual violence is down.

00:55:47.000 New analysis by LA City Controller says that at least.

00:55:50.000 $513 million meant to help homeless went unspent.

00:55:54.000 This was just 2024.

00:55:55.000 That's about 400 plus in 2025, also.

00:55:59.000 Good Lord.

00:56:00.000 Yeah, the 400s for sure.

00:56:02.000 And then where's that money go?

00:56:06.000 Just 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.

00:56:16.000 So just the money is just coming.

00:56:19.000 And we're just talking LA, which is the epicenter of the whole state of California.

00:56:23.000 You know, all this fraud that you keep hearing about everything, it all comes from LA and then goes out to California.

00:56:29.000 It's like LA is the death star, you know, and that's why I'm coming in.

00:56:34.000 Luke Skywalker.

00:56:36.000 Well, Nick Shirley started doing investigations into all sorts of other fraud that's all around Los Angeles with hospices and all these different things.

00:56:44.000 And they're finding hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud.

00:56:48.000 But not for much longer because he could be facing a $10,000 fine.

00:56:52.000 Isn't that crazy?

00:56:54.000 According to the new.

00:56:55.000 Calver and a bill yesterday.

00:56:56.000 So, this is a new bill.

00:56:58.000 Instead 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.

00:57:17.000 Yeah.

00:57:17.000 So, I was already saying on my own podcast, my plan as mayor, because everyone kept being like, Oh, you need Nick Shirley.

00:57:23.000 No, what I need is all of Los Angeles to be a Nick Shirley.

00:57:26.000 I, as mayor, am going to offer cash bounties.

00:57:29.000 If 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.

00:57:41.000 So now I got to deal with the state, you know, if that passes.

00:57:44.000 But I was already going to just make the city become these Nixon.

00:57:48.000 Everybody has iPhones.

00:57:49.000 What an insane response.

00:57:51.000 What an insane response.

00:57:53.000 Instead of thanking someone for uncovering criminal fraud, you make a new law where you turn them into criminals.

00:58:01.000 These people are laundering more money than El Chapo.

00:58:03.000 Yeah.

00:58:05.000 Oh, yeah.

00:58:05.000 That's why I keep trying to say this.

00:58:06.000 Oh, it's billions.

00:58:07.000 Billions and billions of dollars.

00:58:09.000 It's a real.

00:58:10.000 Criminals like the Gotti, all these people we used to think were mobsters at the Italian shops back in the day.

00:58:16.000 They couldn't even comprehend what's going on right now.

00:58:19.000 And 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.

00:58:31.000 The city person comes in, they go, Oh, no, put that back in.

00:58:35.000 You can't have that taken in.

00:58:36.000 So they make them put the broken thing back in before the next person comes.

00:58:41.000 And then It costs like $50,000, and this only one city contract can fix it.

00:58:47.000 It's not for, you know, up for bid.

00:58:50.000 And that is where all this extra money that isn't going to actually getting these firefighters with any.

00:58:56.000 The fire station I was at, they had a fire truck that should have been in retired in Mexico 10 years ago.

00:59:02.000 And instead, they like pay to put a new back bumper on it.

00:59:04.000 And they just, it's, these guys have to pay out of their own pocket for the blinds, the paint, and they do it because they live here. 0.93

00:59:13.000 So sad where LAFD used to be the symbol of great, like the goat firefighters that everyone looked to, how we've just let it fall apart.

00:59:22.000 Same with LAPD. 0.78

00:59:23.000 We have just no pride in what's happening is the Olympics are coming.

00:59:28.000 And what I keep telling everybody is we are going to have a terrorist attack.

00:59:33.000 It's because we're not even safe for our streets right now.

00:59:36.000 They're not even protected.

00:59:37.000 If 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. 0.96

00:59:47.000 With road flares, tossing them out on all the 50 years of dead brush. 0.97

00:59:51.000 The entire city will look like a nuclear bomb went off.

00:59:55.000 Look at the Palisades.

00:59:56.000 Yeah.

00:59:57.000 One area.

00:59:58.000 Five bad guys, bad actors go around and do that.

01:00:02.000 It's done.

01:00:03.000 And 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.

01:00:10.000 In fact, my friend Andrew filmed some guys doing it.

01:00:14.000 He filmed guys lighting things on fire.

01:00:16.000 He filmed it in his car. 0.93

01:00:18.000 He was watching these vagrants filming them. 0.95

01:00:22.000 Lighting things on fire.

01:00:23.000 Two days ago, there's photos of a vagrant homeless zombie in the Palisades trying to light a fire right now.

01:00:30.000 Thankfully, the area hasn't grown back yet, but they're two days ago.

01:00:36.000 These zombies, people don't like the word zombie, but they are zombies.

01:00:42.000 Yes, there's different boxes of homelessness.

01:00:45.000 There's people that need help.

01:00:47.000 Down on their luck.

01:00:48.000 Down on their luck.

01:00:49.000 They've lost their job quick, boom.

01:00:52.000 It's a very small box, but I am aware of those.

01:00:52.000 That is one box.

01:00:56.000 Then 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.

01:01:05.000 Maybe some of those people get help, they get sober, get proper treatment, now they get a new chance of life.

01:01:11.000 Then there's another box that are just people that want to do drugs and be a bad person.

01:01:16.000 We have to acknowledge there's actually just bad people that are in a different box. 0.99

01:01:21.000 But there's also people that want everything else to fall apart because their life is in the shit. 1.00

01:01:27.000 They live in shit. 1.00

01:01:28.000 Their life is hell, and they don't want to see you drive by an Alexis. 1.00

01:01:32.000 They don't want to see you go to your nice house. 0.99

01:01:34.000 They don't want to see any of that.

01:01:35.000 They want to light things on fire.

01:01:37.000 Well, that's how also these DSA people get support because they've destroyed the city so much.

01:01:42.000 You look around and you think, oh, the American dream is broken.

01:01:46.000 Capitalism is broken, but they're the ones that broke it.

01:01:50.000 So 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.

01:01:58.000 This system doesn't work.

01:01:59.000 But what they're not looking at is who's Breaking the system that did work, the one that I grew up in that was so beautiful.

01:02:06.000 Over a hundred restaurants in LA have closed this year.

01:02:09.000 Over a hundred.

01:02:10.000 And these aren't chains.

01:02:12.000 These are people that put their life into this.

01:02:15.000 These are chefs, and they can't make it in a place that was a go to food spot.

01:02:20.000 Well, where I used to do comedy in Los Angeles on Sunset at the comedy store, if you drive down Sunset now, everything is for lease. 0.99

01:02:29.000 It's fucking nuts. 0.87

01:02:30.000 It used to be very difficult to get a property on Sunset because it was so valuable. 0.99

01:02:35.000 In the 90s and the early 2000s, like everybody wanted to have a restaurant on Sunset.

01:02:40.000 Everybody wanted to have a bar on Sunset because that's where everybody went.

01:02:42.000 There was always cars and it was nice and you could walk on the street.

01:02:46.000 We would walk down to get food.

01:02:48.000 We would go to the stand after we would, the standard rather, after we would go to the con. 0.99

01:02:52.000 I would fucking never walk down that street now. 0.98

01:02:55.000 It was normal. 0.98

01:02:56.000 And that's you trained up, you know, ready to go with the sidekick. 0.99

01:03:00.000 Imagine a lovely lady that just wants to walk her little dog. 1.00

01:03:06.000 Are just dog walkers. 0.95

01:03:07.000 They're like, I am scared to walk my dog.

01:03:10.000 I won't say which newscaster, but I had a newscaster off camera recently and said, Everything you're saying is true.

01:03:15.000 She goes, Every morning I have to get up at 5 a.m. because it's the safest time for me to do my morning run.

01:03:20.000 Every day, naked zombie. 0.92

01:03:22.000 She said, I'm running by a naked zombie trying to. 0.95

01:03:25.000 Can you imagine? 0.88

01:03:26.000 Not, 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.

01:03:33.000 And it's not, it's across the entire city.

01:03:36.000 I 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.

01:03:49.000 It's not just like a Hollywood thing or a valley, it's everywhere.

01:03:53.000 It's everywhere.

01:03:54.000 I don't think people understand it.

01:03:56.000 Can we show some videos?

01:03:57.000 Let's show some videos of some of the real chaotic homelessness in Los Angeles so people can get a look at it.

01:04:04.000 Because, you know, I've had some friends send me videos, like my friend Whitney Cummings.

01:04:08.000 She went.

01:04:10.000 Through Los Angeles a couple of months ago, and she sent me a video. 0.99

01:04:13.000 I was like, This is fucking nuts. 0.95

01:04:16.000 Because I haven't been, I don't go there anymore, man. 0.99

01:04:19.000 I fucking avoid that place like the plague. 0.97

01:04:21.000 I used to love it. 0.99

01:04:22.000 I used to love it.

01:04:23.000 I never even thought until the pandemic hit, I was like, I'll probably be here forever.

01:04:28.000 And now it's just not.

01:04:30.000 It's the Street People of Los Angeles Instagram account.

01:04:32.000 They show this stuff all the time.

01:04:34.000 Street People of Los Angeles Instagram account.

01:04:36.000 This is a dad and a son walking by.

01:04:39.000 Yeah.

01:04:40.000 Well, this is a small.

01:04:41.000 That's in the valley.

01:04:42.000 No, but the point is, yeah, I posted this also in the sense that look at these little kids.

01:04:48.000 They got to go by.

01:04:50.000 We used to have our studio in Woodland Hills, and we used to have guys that were camping out right in front.

01:04:55.000 Look at that.

01:04:55.000 Even Perez Hilton is on your side.

01:04:57.000 Pratt is the path.

01:04:59.000 What Los Angeles needs.

01:05:00.000 You see that?

01:05:01.000 No, he's Perez.

01:05:03.000 God bless Perez.

01:05:04.000 You might be the only person saying that.

01:05:06.000 No, he had a near death experience and came to Jesus.

01:05:09.000 And, yo, he's all.

01:05:10.000 Good for him.

01:05:11.000 He's locked in on that.

01:05:12.000 Oh.

01:05:12.000 Lock and sticks.

01:05:13.000 Was that somebody dying?

01:05:14.000 No, he died twice, pretty much.

01:05:16.000 What happened?

01:05:16.000 From what?

01:05:18.000 He took antibiotics without food when he, which I didn't know was a thing.

01:05:24.000 That's why they say to take food.

01:05:26.000 And then, again, I'm going to say this wrong, but whatever that creates.

01:05:30.000 Some situation, boom.

01:05:31.000 Now he has sepsis and he's oh Jesus next to death for 30 days.

01:05:34.000 And then we just got out of the hospital.

01:05:36.000 Then he has a blood clot. 0.99

01:05:39.000 No, so he's like Bible all day. 0.96

01:05:41.000 He had he talked to God when he was like dead. 0.76

01:05:43.000 So I think he's for real, for real.

01:05:46.000 Okay, yeah, well, that would be nice.

01:05:47.000 Oh, he's that's we he's not a nice person in the world.

01:05:51.000 He's a powerful prayer warrior now.

01:05:53.000 So, you know, um, show me some skid row footage, is the nuttiest.

01:05:58.000 Okay, uh, skid row footage is the real that's the real red pill.

01:06:03.000 Where you're in.

01:06:04.000 You're like, how?

01:06:06.000 It's just, there's no better way to describe it than how you described it earlier.

01:06:10.000 It's literally like a criminal cartel.

01:06:12.000 It's a criminal cartel that's siphoning money off of people.

01:06:15.000 Look at that guy.

01:06:16.000 Just needs a job. 0.84

01:06:18.000 These people just need a home.

01:06:19.000 Come on, man.

01:06:20.000 This is not that bad.

01:06:23.000 This is very minor.

01:06:25.000 There's certain areas of Skid Row.

01:06:27.000 Look how they have tents, which is so crazy.

01:06:29.000 Well, you paid for that.

01:06:30.000 You didn't.

01:06:31.000 Oh, look at this.

01:06:31.000 I did.

01:06:32.000 This guy's protecting against vampires.

01:06:35.000 Yeah.

01:06:36.000 These are nice clips, man.

01:06:37.000 That guy just needs a job, dude.

01:06:39.000 Relax.

01:06:40.000 Poor dog.

01:06:42.000 I know.

01:06:42.000 I see dogs with homeless people.

01:06:43.000 I just want to.

01:06:44.000 I'm such a dog lover.

01:06:46.000 I can't go to the dog pound.

01:06:48.000 If I went to the dog pound, I'd have 100 dogs, and my wife would never let that happen.

01:06:53.000 So that guy there and the fentanyl, these fentanyl hangs, they don't need beds.

01:06:57.000 Right.

01:06:58.000 That's not a bed issue.

01:06:58.000 It's not a housing issue.

01:06:59.000 They don't need to get cleaned up.

01:07:02.000 And for people that don't know, this was not like this.

01:07:07.000 This was not like this a decade ago.

01:07:09.000 This is a rapid decline in what this city looks like.

01:07:13.000 Oh, there's some nice people.

01:07:15.000 Oh, it's just crazy.

01:07:19.000 It's a.

01:07:20.000 This is not as radical as it could be.

01:07:22.000 Skid Row is really.

01:07:24.000 If you could find some.

01:07:26.000 There's innumerable videos.

01:07:27.000 I can't click, uncheck them all fast enough.

01:07:29.000 All right, try this one.

01:07:30.000 Skid Row, right there.

01:07:31.000 I got 600 views.

01:07:32.000 I was going to try to find one.

01:07:33.000 What's below that?

01:07:34.000 Right there, that one.

01:07:35.000 I spent a day on Skid Row.

01:07:37.000 There was a comic in the early 2000s that went undercover and lived on Skid Row for a couple of days to film things.

01:07:47.000 And it was pretty astonishing even back then.

01:07:50.000 But again, This is a created environment that they created because they didn't want to deal with the homeless people.

01:07:56.000 And they're like, you know what we should do?

01:07:57.000 We should just take these people and put them in one spot and don't let them leave.

01:08:01.000 And that's how they created Skid Row. 1.00

01:08:03.000 And, you know, decades later, you have five, zero, 50 blocks of nothing but this kind of shit where it's just fucking chaos. 0.99

01:08:13.000 It's just homeless people everywhere. 0.99

01:08:15.000 And it's so sad.

01:08:16.000 All lost lives.

01:08:18.000 You know, as a father, you know, you're a father.

01:08:20.000 These are someone's children.

01:08:22.000 This is someone who had a baby.

01:08:24.000 And that baby they loved more than anything.

01:08:26.000 They're like, oh my God, they're so precious.

01:08:28.000 That precious person is now in the middle of an intersection, hunched over on fentanyl.

01:08:32.000 Well, the amount of people that message me and say, thank you, my so and so brother, daughter, son died of fentanyl overdose.

01:08:42.000 These people need mandatory treatment.

01:08:44.000 They don't need just, oh, if you want, we have these needles for you.

01:08:49.000 We have street med teams where we can come and, you know, it's crazy.

01:08:54.000 And it's back to being a dad.

01:08:57.000 I'm only running for mayor to do one last Hail Mary to try to save the city I love and grow up.

01:09:02.000 So, and if it doesn't work, you're out.

01:09:04.000 Well, they already burned down my house.

01:09:06.000 That's what the LA Times was.

01:09:07.000 That's the funniest.

01:09:08.000 Did you see this?

01:09:09.000 So, they tried to do a hit piece, LA Times, and say that I wasn't eligible to run for mayor because my house burned down.

01:09:18.000 This was last week.

01:09:19.000 No, I'm not kidding.

01:09:20.000 This is real.

01:09:21.000 So, and they were like, oh, he's living in Santa Barbara right now.

01:09:25.000 I thought the LA Times had become more reasonable when that guy.

01:09:28.000 Owned it.

01:09:29.000 That was completely not true.

01:09:31.000 And the funniest part is the LA Times is in El Segundo for the last eight years.

01:09:35.000 So they're the ones that should be worried about it.

01:09:37.000 So what happens is they say, oh, it's up in the air because he's in service.

01:09:42.000 I call the city clerk and I say, hey, the LA Times is reporting that I know I'm eligible.

01:09:47.000 Everybody knows.

01:09:48.000 It's like saying that 7,000 people whose house is burned down now can't vote.

01:09:52.000 Right.

01:09:53.000 They can't vote because you have a house. 0.99

01:09:54.000 Because Karen Bass, who you're not supposed to vote for because she burned your house down, you can't vote for her.

01:09:59.000 So it's like, of course you can run.

01:10:01.000 I said, anybody can call.

01:10:02.000 And asked this, like, yes, it's on our website.

01:10:05.000 So it was just a final hit.

01:10:07.000 Who is the person who wrote that story?

01:10:09.000 This guy, Noah Goldberg.

01:10:10.000 And why is because he's pushing the Nithya Raman. 0.56

01:10:14.000 There's a video of him at the bar with her, like, yay. 0.86

01:10:17.000 They want.

01:10:18.000 She's a Democrat socialist.

01:10:19.000 Yes. 1.00

01:10:19.000 And LA Times wants their own clickbaity Mandami. 1.00

01:10:23.000 They try to make their. 0.98

01:10:24.000 Mandami is a custom built Manchurian candidate, 20 years in the making.

01:10:29.000 He's a star.

01:10:30.000 That's why he's got the smile.

01:10:31.000 You can't take this bootleg wannabe and try to cook her into it. 0.97

01:10:35.000 So they drop this.

01:10:37.000 Fake 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.

01:10:48.000 It was movie scene.

01:10:49.000 How is this person doing in the polls?

01:10:51.000 This person that you're running against?

01:10:53.000 They're at 9%, I think.

01:10:54.000 But again, the polls, I'm in number one.

01:10:56.000 Anybody, they know this. 1.00

01:10:58.000 She's in charge on the city council. 1.00

01:11:00.000 She's the chairperson of the homeless plan. 0.99

01:11:06.000 Okay, she wants to.

01:11:07.000 What's she gonna change? 0.96

01:11:09.000 She's had six years.

01:11:10.000 So we're gonna put, and then she's tweeting or exing or whatever you call it like, my new plan, homeless is not working.

01:11:17.000 Oh, so you just announced you're running for mayor.

01:11:20.000 The best part is, she's had six years to not say any of these problems until she's running for mayor. 0.97

01:11:26.000 These politicians are just, it's the problem back to the people. 1.00

01:11:30.000 The problem is, people have jobs.

01:11:32.000 People aren't paying attention like me.

01:11:34.000 They just hear the little fake, I care, this isn't working. 0.98

01:11:38.000 Oh, she's a city council member. 1.00

01:11:40.000 Oh, she's a Democrat. 0.79

01:11:41.000 No, she's not. 1.00

01:11:42.000 She's not a Democrat.

01:11:43.000 I'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.

01:11:54.000 So that's when I really stepped up.

01:11:55.000 So I watched this movie, Hotshot, a documentary on fires.

01:12:00.000 And I see in this documentary, 100 mile per hour, I think it's the oak fire in the film.

01:12:08.000 And you see 100 mile per hour wind.

01:12:11.000 And 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.

01:12:21.000 So then I like see who this guy who like lived with these hotshots for six years. 0.94

01:12:26.000 So 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.

01:12:45.000 They hired a crisis PR firm, the lead company.

01:12:50.000 Here's the best part guess where they got the money?

01:12:53.000 The mayor's office, where they got the money to hire the crisis from the LAFD Foundation.

01:12:59.000 They 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.

01:13:10.000 Oh, my God.

01:13:11.000 I find this out because I start, you know, posting about what this director, Gabriel Mann, is saying about.

01:13:17.000 You know, the Palisades fires.

01:13:19.000 I'm posting now, I got info.

01:13:20.000 So now firefighters start coming in my DMs as whistleblowers.

01:13:24.000 Like, hey, just so you know, the after action report that went out, that was the ninth version.

01:13:29.000 And the battalion chief that wrote it wouldn't put his name on it because they changed it so much.

01:13:34.000 So I do a post about that.

01:13:36.000 Three weeks later, the LA Times, everything I post, three weeks later, they would steal my thing and I'd be like, Polled Surprise Guy.

01:13:44.000 It's like, I posted that three weeks ago because the firefighters were coming to me and telling me, What was going on behind the scenes?

01:13:50.000 So, also as mayor, I'm going to make sure that the fire department, the fire chief, has civil protections again.

01:13:58.000 So, right now, the fire chief is like a puppet.

01:14:01.000 They have to do whatever the mayor says, cover up for the mayor.

01:14:04.000 They're just another politician.

01:14:05.000 They need to be responsible for the Angelenos, the public, and they don't have that protection. 0.72

01:14:11.000 The mayor can just get rid of them. 0.96

01:14:12.000 So, you got to give them these civil protections back, like they have.

01:14:16.000 The mayor can't just get rid of the police chief, for instance.

01:14:19.000 But That's when I was like, oh, these people are.

01:14:22.000 It's organized crime.

01:14:23.000 Thank you.

01:14:24.000 It sounds like the mob.

01:14:25.000 Here's the best part. 0.99

01:14:26.000 You know when the mayor was in Ghana as everything was burning down? 1.00

01:14:30.000 Do you know who she left in charge?

01:14:33.000 Her deputy mayor.

01:14:34.000 Do you know where the deputy mayor was?

01:14:36.000 The deputy mayor, Mayor Karen Bass's deputy mayor, was on house arrest because he was arrested for calling in a bomb threat to City Hall.

01:14:46.000 This is real life. 0.97

01:14:47.000 This is the person that's supposed to take the call because she's in Africa.

01:14:51.000 Why did he call in a bomb threat to City Hall?

01:14:55.000 Great question.

01:15:00.000 So that's who the people were dealing with.

01:15:02.000 So 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.

01:15:11.000 So we're already starting ahead of the curve.

01:15:13.000 Also, I'm not going in to steal taxpayer money, I'm going in to stop all this.

01:15:18.000 So again, I really believe there's enough common sense people that see that I'm not doing politics.

01:15:25.000 I don't want to do any of this.

01:15:27.000 Politics are, it's a job.

01:15:29.000 These people are career politicians.

01:15:30.000 I never wanted to be a career politician.

01:15:32.000 Before my house burned down, I was selling my healing crystals.

01:15:36.000 They, just to be clear, they have no magical powers.

01:15:39.000 They all burned in my house.

01:15:40.000 So, anybody, you know, you're buying them, they, you know, I thought that I had protection energy.

01:15:46.000 They don't.

01:15:47.000 So, you know, and feeding hummingbirds and taking my kids to school.

01:15:52.000 That was my dream life.

01:15:54.000 And they burned it down.

01:15:56.000 And now they have their worst nightmare coming to just.

01:15:59.000 Undo the whole thing.

01:16:00.000 Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor of Public Safety agrees to plead guilty to threatening to bomb LA City Hall last year.

01:16:07.000 Now, what was the reason?

01:16:08.000 Brian K. Williams, 61 of Pasadena, is charged in a single count information with threats regarding fire and explosives.

01:16:16.000 It doesn't have a reason, but it says what he did.

01:16:20.000 You know, I don't think there's ever a good reason.

01:16:23.000 I mean, I would like to hear his reason.

01:16:26.000 Bomb threat.

01:16:27.000 I received a call on my city cell phone at 10 48 this morning.

01:16:31.000 The mail caller stated that he was tired of the city's support of Israel and he's decided to place a bomb in City Hall, so that's it.

01:16:39.000 It might be in the Rotunda.

01:16:41.000 I immediately contacted this.

01:16:42.000 So it was about Israel.

01:16:44.000 Wow.

01:16:47.000 Up here it says that he uses Google Voice application on his personal cell phone to place a call to a city issued cell phone.

01:16:47.000 He made it up.

01:16:53.000 Wow.

01:16:54.000 He then left the meeting and called the chief of staff. 0.55

01:16:57.000 That's Faye Watts. 1.00

01:16:58.000 What a fucking idiot. 1.00

01:17:00.000 Is that guy still employed? 1.00

01:17:00.000 I will say, Mayor Bass. 1.00

01:17:03.000 Find out if that guy's still employed.

01:17:05.000 I would think not.

01:17:06.000 I would imagine he's going to have to go to federal prison.

01:17:12.000 Oh, he's facing 10 years?

01:17:13.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:17:14.000 What if he has paid leave?

01:17:16.000 Probably.

01:17:17.000 He's going to federal prison.

01:17:19.000 Oh, God.

01:17:19.000 But notice he, at least Mayor Bass, with her cell phone, the whole week of the Palisades fire, she deleted all her text messages.

01:17:27.000 I wonder why.

01:17:28.000 Oh, but you know, this is, they're like a terrorist cell.

01:17:33.000 Oh, you're breaking burner phones. 0.99

01:17:35.000 How the fuck are you even allowed to do that? 0.97

01:17:37.000 Former LA deputy mayor sentenced to probation and $5,000 fine. 0.98

01:17:42.000 That's it.

01:17:43.000 Just probation.

01:17:45.000 Well, in his defense, his mayor was spending, I think she went to Cuba 30 times to learn how to build bombs. 0.91

01:17:52.000 And bomb America when she was part of the Vanessa Ramos Brigade. 0.89

01:17:58.000 So Karen Bass. 1.00

01:17:59.000 How old was she when that was 1920?

01:18:01.000 And she never ever said she had any problem with being like a Cuban communist terrorist until Biden was going to pick her as VP.

01:18:10.000 And then they made her say, I denounce that I was trying to blow up the Capitol with my terrorist cell when I was younger.

01:18:18.000 But for all those years, she never said anything.

01:18:21.000 When Fidel Castro died, she said something like, Rest in peace, El Comandante.

01:18:26.000 What?

01:18:28.000 Yes.

01:18:28.000 No way.

01:18:29.000 Yes.

01:18:29.000 You can find it.

01:18:31.000 And then it gets even better.

01:18:32.000 Oh, but hey, guys, relax.

01:18:34.000 Williams was just suffering from stress and anxiety when he called in a threat.

01:18:38.000 Yes.

01:18:39.000 Poor guy.

01:18:40.000 No big deal.

01:18:40.000 Poor guy.

01:18:41.000 Overworked. 0.98

01:18:42.000 Stress and anxiety, and somehow or another, it was about Israel. 0.73

01:18:45.000 Not to mention, these people would just get away with all of this. 0.72

01:18:50.000 They keep getting away with it.

01:18:51.000 That's the problem with the media.

01:18:52.000 What I've learned from being.

01:18:54.000 Part 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?

01:19:04.000 That's their talent, it's like a soap opera, they got to keep filming with the mayor and the city council.

01:19:11.000 If they just air them out, they're not picking up the call, it's like a production, exactly.

01:19:15.000 Then they don't have content anymore, exactly.

01:19:17.000 So the local news needs to like keep it right, right.

01:19:22.000 They don't have access anymore, yeah.

01:19:23.000 So that's why I'm like, why?

01:19:25.000 Because I talk to these people off camera and they're all like.

01:19:27.000 Like an organized crime organization.

01:19:29.000 They're like, please, you know.

01:19:30.000 I'm like, why aren't you, you know?

01:19:33.000 It's organized crime.

01:19:34.000 I mean, it's like they pay people off.

01:19:34.000 Yeah.

01:19:37.000 They've got little deals.

01:19:39.000 You wash my back, I wash yours.

01:19:42.000 Come on.

01:19:43.000 And so thankfully, these people are like, aren't you scared of these people?

01:19:43.000 Yeah.

01:19:47.000 I'm like, what are they going to burn my house down again?

01:19:49.000 Are they going to burn my mom's house down again?

01:19:51.000 So it gives you like a confidence what are they going to do? 0.98

01:19:55.000 I mean, the crime in Los Angeles, when you talk to average people, like the people that I know that live there, they're fucking terrified.

01:20:01.000 They say break ins are just commonplace now where they used to be very rare.

01:20:05.000 You get home invasions constantly.

01:20:08.000 I mean, Ted Sorandos, his mother in law, was killed in a home invasion.

01:20:12.000 And they're happening all the time.

01:20:14.000 It's because there's no police response, and they know there's not going to be a police response.

01:20:18.000 So more people are hiring private security.

01:20:22.000 It's very difficult to get a gun or at least a concealed carry permit.

01:20:25.000 It's very difficult.

01:20:26.000 In defense of LA County Sheriff and LAPD, they have gotten better at CCWs now because of the law. 0.95

01:20:35.000 Because of the crime. 0.83

01:20:36.000 It's not the sheriff's fault.

01:20:38.000 The sheriff wants it.

01:20:39.000 Yeah, and they don't have the staff even to process it.

01:20:41.000 So it just takes up to a year.

01:20:43.000 But I know they all that's the thing.

01:20:46.000 I talked to so many sheriffs, so many LAPDs, so many firefighters.

01:20:50.000 Everybody is just broken.

01:20:52.000 Their spirits are broken.

01:20:54.000 Why are we doing this?

01:20:55.000 Why don't we just go to Newport Beach or Huntington?

01:20:59.000 Or Florida.

01:21:00.000 Yeah.

01:21:01.000 Just leave the state.

01:21:02.000 What am I doing?

01:21:03.000 They keep saying.

01:21:03.000 Well, 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.

01:21:14.000 Right.

01:21:14.000 But it has nothing to do with your government.

01:21:17.000 It has, in spite of your government, they're doing that.

01:21:21.000 And they're leaving.

01:21:22.000 Hollywood was the greatest thing.

01:21:25.000 The amount of money Hollywood made for Los Angeles from the grips to the camera operators to the glam people to the costume.

01:21:33.000 People don't understand. 1.00

01:21:35.000 People hate, like, oh, Hollywood, stupid movie stars are so rich. 1.00

01:21:40.000 They forget about the ecosystem that connects to that, say, Tom Cruise, that makes some. 1.00

01:21:46.000 The amount of money is.

01:21:48.000 And for instance, just last week, they finally got Baywatch to come back to LA.

01:21:48.000 Gone.

01:21:52.000 Baywatch starts shooting for like two days and then they kick him off the beach.

01:21:56.000 There's all these permit problems.

01:21:58.000 So I write a sub stack calling this out, calling out the mayor.

01:22:02.000 Next thing you know, they come back and the mayor makes a deal.

01:22:06.000 What'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.

01:22:14.000 This fire commission has been there for like 10 years, I think, after I do this post or whatever.

01:22:18.000 Boom, four out of five of the fire commission resign.

01:22:21.000 So 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.

01:22:27.000 So I'm like, this is great.

01:22:29.000 Well, it's also they can't possibly do enough without completely undermining their entire organization.

01:22:35.000 They're always going to have so much fraud and waste that your case will always be solid.

01:22:40.000 There's no way.

01:22:41.000 They would have to literally like tank everything they're doing that got them into position.

01:22:46.000 And if they talk about how much of a failure, then they're definitely not keeping their job.

01:22:51.000 Right.

01:22:52.000 Which is, that's the problem with all of them, they're all in a, ready for this?

01:22:56.000 The lady, Janice Quinones, that was in charge of the LADWP that drained.

01:23:03.000 So in the Pacific Palisades, there was the San Inez Reservoir.

01:23:07.000 It had 117 million gallons of water.

01:23:10.000 When 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.

01:23:18.000 Now, in their defense, the city and LADWP says, that was drinking water.

01:23:23.000 It was No one was drinking this water, I promise you.

01:23:25.000 So there was a tear on this drinking water, allegedly the firefighting water.

01:23:31.000 So they drain the entire Reservoir because of a little tear that would have cost $120,000 to repair for over a year.

01:23:40.000 This woman was making $750,000 a year as the head of LADWP, twice her predecessor that Mayor Bass brought in. 0.85

01:23:51.000 Keep in mind, if you make that much money, do you know what the people below her are making? 0.98

01:23:56.000 $500, $400. 0.84

01:23:57.000 These people get so much money and they spend over a year to fix a tear.

01:24:02.000 And it's back to the mafia thing.

01:24:04.000 Oh, I'm sure it's like, oh, we got to use this contractor because we don't have an open bid.

01:24:08.000 Oh, that's too cheap.

01:24:10.000 Who knows the conspiracy to why they didn't tear it?

01:24:13.000 So, while that's drained next door to my house that I watched weekly, the local LAFD would do training, they'd hook up to it.

01:24:20.000 I had a 5 million gallon reservoir for firefighting.

01:24:23.000 So, while they're doing that one, they're like, oh, we should fix this one too.

01:24:27.000 They drain that one.

01:24:28.000 And they're like, oh, we drained it.

01:24:30.000 When we refill it, there's some issues.

01:24:33.000 We can't refill it.

01:24:34.000 They leave two reservoirs empty.

01:24:36.000 Back, rewind what I told you in a season.

01:24:40.000 That's the driest ever.

01:24:42.000 That they've actually had a fire, I think in 2019, where there wasn't water in the reservoir.

01:24:48.000 And thankfully, there was no wind.

01:24:50.000 And they had to drive water tenders up onto the hillside for the helicopters to dip because that's the key.

01:24:56.000 What people don't understand is like, oh, nothing could have stopped this fire.

01:25:00.000 You know, people that defend these people.

01:25:02.000 If 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.

01:25:12.000 Less than 30 seconds from the origin of the fire again when the winds were fine for six hours in the initial thing.

01:25:19.000 But 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.

01:25:33.000 So they spent 66% of their time not fighting the fire going to get the water.

01:25:39.000 So it's back to like why I say it's Chinatown with Jack and Listen.

01:25:43.000 We have this LADWP that these people get all this money.

01:25:47.000 They increase everyone's rates.

01:25:49.000 This year, everyone's rates went up 11%.

01:25:52.000 They're going to go up 7% annually for no reason.

01:25:55.000 You're not getting alkaline water out of it.

01:25:58.000 I'm convinced we used to joke, like, oh, there's fluoride in the water. 0.98

01:26:01.000 How much fentanyl is in our damn water right now? 0.83

01:26:03.000 I mean, we're not getting better water for that 7% increase. 0.99

01:26:08.000 They're doubling everyone's trash, even though. 0.94

01:26:11.000 The entire city has more trash. 0.65

01:26:14.000 I talked to this guy, Juan from Clean LA. 0.98

01:26:16.000 He goes around, he's from Ecuador. 1.00

01:26:18.000 He does these mingas where he moved here from Ecuador and he said it's the dirtiest thing he's ever seen his whole life. 1.00

01:26:23.000 So he just started cleaning up trash and posting it. 0.99

01:26:25.000 And now people will give him GoFundMe money and he cleans more of the city than the city.

01:26:30.000 And I had him on my podcast.

01:26:31.000 I said, What's the problem here, Juan?

01:26:33.000 And he said, People don't care, Spencer.

01:26:36.000 And I said, So I'm mayor, I hire you.

01:26:38.000 Are we going to get the city clean?

01:26:39.000 He's like, Spencer, they want a billion dollars.

01:26:42.000 Next year for the trash.

01:26:44.000 He's like, I can do this for easy $500 million.

01:26:47.000 I said, okay, you're hired one.

01:26:48.000 I said, what are we going to do with them?

01:26:49.000 He's like, we got to fire all these people, Spencer.

01:26:51.000 They don't care.

01:26:52.000 He said, it's dirtier than any third world country he's ever been.

01:26:56.000 So they're doubling our trash rates, they're doubling our sewage.

01:27:00.000 So more money, more money.

01:27:02.000 It's back to taxes.

01:27:05.000 Oh, the rich need to give more.

01:27:07.000 If the quality of life just keeps getting worse and worse, why would anybody with money stay in California or Los Angeles?

01:27:15.000 Exactly.

01:27:15.000 When they know the fraud, the waste, the corruption.

01:27:19.000 People 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?

01:27:28.000 There'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.

01:27:35.000 So they let everyone steal all the copper.

01:27:37.000 So everything's dark in the whole city.

01:27:39.000 So Mayor Bass goes last week and makes a press conference.

01:27:43.000 I solved it.

01:27:44.000 I'm going to spend $200 million and we're going to do solar power lights.

01:27:48.000 You think these thieves aren't going to then pivot to stealing solar batteries and slaying those?

01:27:52.000 No, we got to stop the criminals.

01:27:55.000 The best video right now, I think, there's a couple of good ones.

01:27:57.000 This Nithya Raman, the Democratic Socialist who's running for mayor, she is asked about all the Cadillac converters that are being stolen.

01:28:05.000 She said, Well, Toyota is making these too easy to steal.

01:28:09.000 It's like leaving your MacBook on the front seat.

01:28:13.000 This is real talk.

01:28:14.000 It's Toyota's fault.

01:28:14.000 I'm not kidding.

01:28:16.000 Toyota's fault that people are stealing catalytic converters.

01:28:19.000 Yes.

01:28:21.000 That's hilarious. 1.00

01:28:22.000 Every fucking car has a catalytic converter that just sits underneath. 1.00

01:28:25.000 You can just saw off the exhaust and take it out. 0.99

01:28:27.000 If you know anything about cars, it's not fucking Toyota. 0.98

01:28:30.000 It's every car. 0.99

01:28:31.000 Oh, here's another great one of her lines.

01:28:34.000 She's at our city council meeting.

01:28:36.000 She's the city council member.

01:28:37.000 All 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.

01:28:45.000 The zombies are everywhere.

01:28:47.000 These parents are saying, We don't want these encampments, which are illegal.

01:28:51.000 They're asking them.

01:28:52.000 The 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.

01:29:01.000 All the parents boo her, and she goes, Whatever, and rolls her eyes.

01:29:07.000 These are the people that are going to show up and vote for me.

01:29:09.000 These moms and these dads.

01:29:10.000 Well, 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.

01:29:29.000 It's not what you have, it's not what you're getting.

01:29:32.000 What you're getting is organized crime.

01:29:33.000 What you're getting is organized crime that is using this filter of compassionate, Caring, inclusive government.

01:29:41.000 And it's not real.

01:29:43.000 It's not real.

01:29:43.000 What you're getting is more homeless, more crime, more murder, more chaos, more, maybe not more murder, maybe just more shootings.

01:29:50.000 Almost murder.

01:29:51.000 Yeah, maybe more shootings and stabbings, but better medical care is keeping them alive.

01:29:57.000 But the idea that crime is down, it's like anecdotally, you ask anybody in LA, they would not agree to that.

01:30:03.000 Most people think crime is up. 0.99

01:30:05.000 Home invasions are fucking ubiquitous. 0.99

01:30:07.000 It's everywhere. 0.97

01:30:08.000 So I spoke with these SWAT guys the other day and I said, you know, you guys having a lot of.

01:30:13.000 You know, gang standout.

01:30:14.000 He said, actually, no, the gang's business as usual.

01:30:17.000 They know when we show up that, you know, the hands up, they're going to get out in a week.

01:30:22.000 They're professional.

01:30:22.000 They're just for the money.

01:30:24.000 He says, our biggest call outs now are mental health, you know, episodes that the person doesn't know where they are or whatever.

01:30:32.000 And I said, but what about all these like home invasion crews and that are coming in, robbing everyone's house?

01:30:38.000 He goes, there's nothing we could do.

01:30:39.000 He says, these people all know they're getting out in two weeks.

01:30:43.000 I said, What do you mean?

01:30:44.000 Isn't that a felony? 0.93

01:30:45.000 They're coming in with guns?

01:30:46.000 He said, Nope.

01:30:47.000 You can go break into a house with a gun while people are there, families, rob them, tie them up, and get out. 0.92

01:30:55.000 Not only that, if you shoot those people while they're in your house, you'll be prosecuted.

01:30:59.000 Yeah, you got to prove you are fearing for your life.

01:31:02.000 You're supposed to leave your house rather than defend your house against people with weapons that enter your house.

01:31:09.000 I personally would advise to lock yourself in a closet and have your firearm and have a strong point. 0.88

01:31:18.000 Yeah, 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. 0.92

01:31:34.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:31:34.000 That's fucking insane. 0.99

01:31:36.000 That's insane. 1.00

01:31:37.000 And 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.

01:31:44.000 It's like if you wanted to destroy LA, that's how you would do it.

01:31:48.000 They're doing it.

01:31:49.000 And 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.

01:32:05.000 The pressure I feel to get in here and just undo this, unplug this.

01:32:09.000 And 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.

01:32:18.000 Somebody needs to just come in and push them up.

01:32:21.000 If 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.

01:32:28.000 So 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.

01:32:37.000 But this deputy mayor who will help me enforce the law made it very clear.

01:32:41.000 Once you start enforcing the law, criminals leave.

01:32:44.000 They know, oh, the gig's up.

01:32:46.000 They will go somewhere else.

01:32:48.000 Once you start making arrests, people will leave.

01:32:51.000 This idea, oh, there's no room in the jails.

01:32:53.000 Where are you going to put all these people?

01:32:55.000 Once you start enforcing law, they will leave.

01:32:58.000 And it's as simple as that.

01:32:59.000 He 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.

01:33:08.000 You have a two week countdown, you tell everyone, you give them a warning.

01:33:11.000 So 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.

01:33:19.000 They have been flown in, bust in, back to the business. 0.89

01:33:22.000 There's a body business where they bring Homeless people to the city to make the money off them. 0.98

01:33:29.000 They're from all over the country. 1.00

01:33:30.000 They're brought here because this is the epicenter where they're making all the money.

01:33:35.000 So, 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.

01:33:45.000 The 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.

01:33:51.000 And 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. 0.93

01:34:00.000 The whole town smells like, the whole city smells like human poop and pee. 0.97

01:34:04.000 It's crazy. 0.79

01:34:05.000 So, when you get rid of that, not to mention, you know, my best plan?

01:34:09.000 Yeah.

01:34:10.000 I'm bringing in the CDC.

01:34:11.000 Los Angeles love the white suits and during COVID, they love CDC.

01:34:17.000 I'm bringing in the CDC because do you know how much typhoid and medieval diseases are in these encampments that nobody's swabbing?

01:34:24.000 Mayor Pratt is bringing the CDC in.

01:34:26.000 We're going to swab all of them.

01:34:28.000 And 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. 0.56

01:34:41.000 I don't know if you saw last week that lady pops out of the sewer.

01:34:44.000 That Juan from Clean LA did a video, it went viral. 1.00

01:34:47.000 She's living in the sewer.

01:34:51.000 The whole full thing. 1.00

01:34:52.000 What's with poop and pee?

01:34:56.000 You know what type of diseases are going on in there? 0.96

01:34:59.000 CDC will clean these streets.

01:35:00.000 Again, people are like, oh, Spencer is not going to have the resources.

01:35:03.000 With the Olympics coming, We have Homeland Security.

01:35:07.000 We got DEA.

01:35:09.000 Another thing, we're just letting.

01:35:10.000 I talked to the dog rescue people.

01:35:12.000 They 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.

01:35:23.000 Mayor Pratt, DEA is coming in.

01:35:25.000 ATF, we have so much funding when you bring the feds in to enforce the law to get the streets ready for the Olympics.

01:35:33.000 The current administration, they want to play pretend. 0.90

01:35:35.000 Get that money to launder. 0.90

01:35:37.000 Oh, we need that billion dollars.

01:35:39.000 We'll clean the streets. 0.85

01:35:40.000 You come do it.

01:35:40.000 No, no, no.

01:35:41.000 Help me out.

01:35:42.000 So it's not like I won't be able to do this.

01:35:44.000 And people, when they hear me say that, they're like, it's our guy.

01:35:47.000 So let's.

01:35:50.000 We haven't even talked jujitsu, too.

01:35:51.000 Are we going to put on geese or what?

01:35:54.000 Let's talk about day one.

01:35:56.000 So, day one, realistically, what can you do and how do you implement all these ideas that you have?

01:36:04.000 So, 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.

01:36:13.000 The system is in play.

01:36:14.000 The amount of private industry, like for instance, a CEO's house burned down who sold his company to Warren Buffett.

01:36:23.000 We're talking big.

01:36:25.000 Legit CEO, he said, I'll come in, I'll work for a dollar a year.

01:36:30.000 You know, there's people like this that want to get LA back, that I'm going to surround myself.

01:36:35.000 People like Rick Caruso, he wants to get building.

01:36:38.000 You lean on these people that they talk about it, they just don't want to go into this toxic environment that you can't, it's a cartel.

01:36:45.000 They know there's only so much they can do unless there's a mayor like me that's going to let them do it.

01:36:50.000 I just got a phone with Steve Mosco.

01:36:52.000 He was the president of multiple studios, Sony.

01:36:55.000 I'm going to bring him in with an Avengers team for Hollywood.

01:36:59.000 How we clean up all these permit issues and get Hollywood back and make the incentives make it.

01:37:04.000 My idea is literally not charge.

01:37:06.000 You want to shoot in LA?

01:37:07.000 There's no, we need, we're going to charge you.

01:37:10.000 We need work.

01:37:11.000 We need work.

01:37:11.000 And then we can, in six years, we can come back and worry about that, but bring the business back.

01:37:16.000 So, meeting with the Ted Sarandos, putting these actual commissions, not to mention, I already met with the community budget advocates.

01:37:25.000 They're like LA budget experts.

01:37:28.000 They presented seven budget initiatives.

01:37:30.000 To Mayor Bash, she didn't do one.

01:37:31.000 I'm going to do all seven.

01:37:33.000 These 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.

01:37:41.000 There's going to be a commission that looks everything publicly for 30 days.

01:37:46.000 Right now, it's just her CAO.

01:37:47.000 It's like having your accountant and check your taxes from the IRS.

01:37:52.000 It's all, we need to have outside independent people checking all this stuff.

01:37:57.000 So it's more of, again, I'm talking with Chief Garcia, who's retiring.

01:38:01.000 Who'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?

01:38:10.000 So, just using experienced people that want to get LA and surrounding myself.

01:38:15.000 One thing I know I have is common sense.

01:38:18.000 Now, 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.

01:38:25.000 Oh, he's going to undo all this.

01:38:27.000 You're telling me for $750,000, I couldn't find a better LA DWP CEO?

01:38:34.000 To make sure there's waters in the reservoir, figure out how to get rates down.

01:38:38.000 We have plenty of money.

01:38:39.000 We're paying these jobs.

01:38:41.000 We're clearly not getting the proper talent, obviously.

01:38:44.000 Look at the city.

01:38:45.000 So, you're getting talent that's ideologically aligned.

01:38:49.000 That's, yeah, exactly.

01:38:50.000 And it's a part of this whole cartel.

01:38:51.000 Exactly.

01:38:52.000 So, 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.

01:39:02.000 To the point where I could poach talent from other major cities that are successful at these jobs.

01:39:09.000 I can pay them more clearly than other places.

01:39:12.000 Be like, wow, you did this here.

01:39:13.000 Come out to LA.

01:39:14.000 Don't worry.

01:39:15.000 The zombies will be gone by the time you get here.

01:39:17.000 But there are these people, there's tons of cities around America that don't look like LA.

01:39:23.000 This is not some rocket science I have to figure out.

01:39:26.000 You're in one of them right now.

01:39:29.000 There we go.

01:39:29.000 Yeah, drive around Austin.

01:39:30.000 There's a homeless problem, but it's minor.

01:39:33.000 It's very small in comparison to Los Angeles.

01:39:36.000 Again, there will be homeless problems everywhere.

01:39:40.000 Always.

01:39:41.000 But the drug addiction, crime, where they run the streets, that's a problem that can be fixed.

01:39:46.000 And encampments can be fixed.

01:39:49.000 Look at what they did in San Francisco when Xi Jinping was visiting San Francisco.

01:39:53.000 And Gavin Newsom literally said when someone comes to your house to visit, you clean up your house. 1.00

01:40:01.000 How about just keep your fucking house clean? 0.99

01:40:03.000 Like, what are you saying? 1.00

01:40:04.000 If you have the resources to clean it up when a foreign dignitary comes into town, why don't you just keep your town clean? 1.00

01:40:11.000 And we're the ones that own the house, the taxpayers. 1.00

01:40:13.000 We already pay to keep the house clean. 0.58

01:40:13.000 Yeah. 0.58

01:40:15.000 Yeah.

01:40:15.000 No, back to Newsom and fires.

01:40:18.000 One 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.

01:40:27.000 That's interesting for somebody whose fire service, the CAL FIRE, He only pays them seasonal.

01:40:33.000 When the Palisades fire hit, most of Cal Fire was down for the season.

01:40:39.000 If 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.

01:40:57.000 So he had all his tankers and helicopters, they came to Palisades and saved the day.

01:41:03.000 So this idea.

01:41:04.000 They just talk, talk.

01:41:05.000 Oh, I spend all this money on all these things, but then you don't.

01:41:09.000 And then he cut their salaries.

01:41:10.000 I mean, we could do a whole episode on Newsome.

01:41:13.000 I got to stay focused.

01:41:14.000 And it's back to.

01:41:15.000 It's amazing that that guy thinks he could be president.

01:41:18.000 Not when I'm mayor of LA, because I'm going to cook him.

01:41:20.000 I just don't understand how anybody could think that he would do a good job.

01:41:24.000 He ruined San Francisco, then he ruined California, and now he wants to ruin the country.

01:41:30.000 Like, what? 0.99

01:41:31.000 How the fuck do they think? 0.99

01:41:33.000 Because he talks well, and he doesn't even talk well, he just talks well for people that are in that position. 0.99

01:41:40.000 There's just a lot of people that talk way better than him that aren't interested in the job.

01:41:44.000 Well, that's what we need to get past.

01:41:45.000 And the audience, the taxpayers, audience, whatever you want to call them, we need to stop falling for performative politics. 1.00

01:41:52.000 The mayor of LA, she's so good at it. 1.00

01:41:55.000 She gets everyone riled up like she's Che Guevara fighting for freedom, but she can do nothing. 1.00

01:42:01.000 She literally, as mayor, cannot stop anything with the federal government. 0.94

01:42:04.000 It's all just an act.

01:42:06.000 And same with Newsom.

01:42:07.000 They're like social media influencers.

01:42:10.000 Do your job.

01:42:11.000 We're paying our tax money for you to make sure our houses don't burn down, zombies aren't attacking our families on the way to school.

01:42:19.000 Everything that's the basic quality of life, you're failing at, but what you're good at is just yelling on social media.

01:42:25.000 And that was back to why I ran, because I didn't want to be one of these, they're just yappers. 1.00

01:42:30.000 It's yapp, you don't do anything. 1.00

01:42:32.000 Yeah, well, it's refreshing.

01:42:35.000 It's refreshing seeing something, but I think this is how it has to be done.

01:42:38.000 I think it has to be someone from the outside that all these people that have a career in politics.

01:42:45.000 They know what feathers they can't ruffle.

01:42:48.000 They know that if you want to make it, you have to be aligned with whatever the party's doing.

01:42:53.000 And if you go against them, you get in trouble.

01:42:56.000 And everyone knows this.

01:42:57.000 So they all just sort of stay the course and hope that their time comes.

01:43:01.000 Hope that they'll look the right way and say the right things.

01:43:05.000 And somehow or another, it'll allow them to elevate their career and become a mayor somewhere or become a governor somewhere.

01:43:12.000 Well, if you look, smart people will come up to me and they'll be like, You're doing what the founders of America wanted.

01:43:18.000 Real people, part of the communities, getting into politics, not this job where I'm going to do this for three.

01:43:25.000 It was supposed to be.

01:43:27.000 Your neighbor, you're somebody who understood what everyone was going through.

01:43:31.000 Exactly.

01:43:32.000 And I feel that.

01:43:33.000 And again, I'm going in there to stop these people.

01:43:37.000 Not, I don't have a new utopia of what LA should be.

01:43:40.000 I want LA back.

01:43:41.000 I want the LA I grew up in.

01:43:43.000 I 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.

01:43:57.000 Have you thought about it?

01:43:58.000 Timeline of how all these ideas that you have, like how long it'll take to actually implement them?

01:44:05.000 Once you start enforcing the law, things are going to move quick.

01:44:10.000 It's as simple as okay, I'm mayor of LA.

01:44:12.000 I got my new deputy mayors.

01:44:15.000 We have my new police commissions.

01:44:17.000 We're going around and we're just arresting people.

01:44:20.000 And the people that aren't getting arrested, we're getting to mandatory medical treatment.

01:44:24.000 And we're just going to start clearing the streets, clearing the encampments.

01:44:28.000 And then from that, it just.

01:44:30.000 Everything's going to come to first off.

01:44:32.000 Imagine the communities, like how pumped people are going to be in these neighborhoods when I come in and I'm like, This is done. 0.61

01:44:40.000 What is this other person, this Democratic Socialist lady?

01:44:44.000 What is her solution to all these problems, crime, homelessness, all these things?

01:44:49.000 What is she saying?

01:44:50.000 Is she admitting that there are issues?

01:44:52.000 And does she have a solution that she's proposing?

01:44:57.000 She just posted it yesterday.

01:44:58.000 I didn't read it.

01:44:59.000 Somebody just tagged it.

01:45:00.000 It was so funny.

01:45:01.000 One of the quotes was, We're going to have a street medical team.

01:45:05.000 A street medical team.

01:45:06.000 We already have that.

01:45:06.000 It's called the LAFD, and they're spending 80% of their calls responding to these overdoses.

01:45:12.000 And we're also paying for that.

01:45:14.000 No, because they're so deep in it, they can't say mandatory treatment because these people have rights to die on the sidewalk.

01:45:22.000 They have rights to attack.

01:45:24.000 So we need more housing.

01:45:26.000 These beds aren't working.

01:45:27.000 We need to get more beds. 1.00

01:45:29.000 So, yes, she needs more affordable beds, more. 1.00

01:45:32.000 It's not working as she's running it. 1.00

01:45:35.000 As she's running it. 1.00

01:45:36.000 So she just wants to keep business as usual, just with more funds.

01:45:39.000 No, she wasn't even running until three hours before the last where you have to fill it out.

01:45:44.000 But when everyone saw I was going to win and be the mayor, they.

01:45:48.000 So the real conspiracy is, it was my conspiracy.

01:45:51.000 I don't know if it's real, that Karen Bass and Nidia are working together just to block me to make sure, because it's a jungle runoff.

01:45:59.000 So June 2nd, the top two numbers go to November.

01:46:03.000 I was 1 billion percent.

01:46:05.000 Going to November until one hour before she just pops up after she'd already endorsed Mayor Bass. 0.99

01:46:12.000 They were doing photo ops together a week before.

01:46:14.000 They're close.

01:46:15.000 Mayor Bass endorsed this Nithia lady.

01:46:18.000 They're like a team. 0.75

01:46:19.000 So, 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.

01:46:31.000 But what they don't understand is people that will vote for me would never vote for her.

01:46:36.000 Or Karen Bass.

01:46:37.000 They're actually picking off their own stats.

01:46:40.000 If anything, what they're doing is making me the mayor on June 2nd.

01:46:44.000 Because if you have 51% of the vote, I just become the mayor on June 2nd.

01:46:49.000 And I think they're in for a big surprise and they're underestimating how angry everybody is in the city of LA.

01:46:55.000 And I think I become mayor June 2nd and it won't even go to November.

01:46:59.000 I 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.

01:47:16.000 We really need like some no nonsense Rudy Giuliani person.

01:47:20.000 I hate to say that.

01:47:21.000 I hate to say it, but that's what we need.

01:47:22.000 We need someone who's going to be really tough on crime and clean everything up and stop all these people from having tents on the street.

01:47:28.000 There's so many people like that that are just quiet about it.

01:47:31.000 They don't want to talk about it openly and publicly because they're afraid of being shamed.

01:47:36.000 I grew up in Palisades.

01:47:37.000 I went to Crossroads High School.

01:47:39.000 I don't think I've ever met a Republican.

01:47:42.000 No, I mean, for real, like, All the people I know, all my family and friends, everybody I know is a Democrat.

01:47:49.000 And all the people that are supporting me, all the people I talk to, they're Democrats.

01:47:53.000 This is not the Democrat Party that's running LA.

01:47:56.000 The other day, I posted the commandment list of, I think it was 1996, Bill Clinton's Democratic Party.

01:48:04.000 It looks like what I would say right now.

01:48:07.000 That's the Democrat.

01:48:08.000 No, this is socialism.

01:48:09.000 This is communist.

01:48:10.000 This is cartel.

01:48:12.000 This is mafia.

01:48:13.000 This is not.

01:48:15.000 Democrats love me.

01:48:16.000 They want all the same things.

01:48:17.000 They want to feel safe.

01:48:18.000 It's really amazing how they can hide it by just pretending to be compassionate.

01:48:24.000 They can hide all this money that they're just siphoning off because it really is just organized crime.

01:48:29.000 Well, they say to people, there's nothing we can do.

01:48:32.000 That's right.

01:48:33.000 People will be in my comments section and be like, there's nothing you can do.

01:48:37.000 It's like they are so good at.

01:48:40.000 Just keeping this, these people have rights.

01:48:42.000 First off, it is illegal.

01:48:44.000 This is below people's mind.

01:48:46.000 It's illegal to live on the sidewalk.

01:48:48.000 Right.

01:48:49.000 That's a Democrat law.

01:48:51.000 All the laws I want to enforce are Democrat laws.

01:48:54.000 I am the Democrat law enforcer, Mayor.

01:48:58.000 I should be every day.

01:49:00.000 I'm actually excited because I finally feel like there's hope.

01:49:04.000 Because 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.

01:49:14.000 Like, I should be a millionaire.

01:49:17.000 You know, because I got some big checks.

01:49:19.000 People always say, oh, he burned all of his money.

01:49:22.000 They 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.

01:49:31.000 It's very hard to keep all that money.

01:49:32.000 So they're like, oh, he burned the.

01:49:34.000 No, I, regardless, the amount of money I put in to the city of LA and the state, my house should still be here.

01:49:41.000 So it's a very sad moment.

01:49:43.000 And then it, Then you start uncovering, oh no, this is almost strategic.

01:49:48.000 This is, you know, a lot of people reached out after with the Lahaina and they're like, oh, they Lahaina'd you.

01:49:53.000 This is a land grab. 0.96

01:49:54.000 And I was like, no, no.

01:49:55.000 And then you start going down, you're like, I'm not even arguing with these people anymore because of how the writing was so on the wall.

01:50:03.000 It's so on the wall, the entire insurance industry dropped everyone in the Palisades leading up to the fire.

01:50:08.000 It was that flagrant.

01:50:10.000 There were 70 year old people, 70 year old plus.

01:50:13.000 I talked to 80 year olds that got it dropped.

01:50:16.000 By their insurance, January 1st, been paying 40 plus years, didn't even get to re up, lost everything, no insurance.

01:50:23.000 If all the insurance companies are dropping an area, it's very clear that they know what's about to happen.

01:50:30.000 So, your city leaders, your mayor, everybody, your state, they should be getting ready or saying, Oh, wow, everyone's dropping this.

01:50:38.000 What can we do?

01:50:39.000 Oh, we need to clear the dead brush.

01:50:41.000 We need to make the water in the reservoirs there.

01:50:44.000 Just obvious things.

01:50:45.000 So, I don't even argue with the land grab things because here's a crazy thing that I never did the math for.

01:50:51.000 This hurts.

01:50:52.000 So, your house burns down.

01:50:54.000 You lost everything.

01:50:55.000 Now you got to buy stuff over again.

01:50:57.000 Now you're paying the city sales tax.

01:51:00.000 So, the people who just let your house burn down, now you're giving them tax to rebuy underwear, rebuy shoes, rebuy.

01:51:07.000 So, they're making money now off of your house burning down.

01:51:11.000 Not to mention, you got to start buying things to actually maybe if you're lucky, not only 14 people in 15 months have built a house.

01:51:18.000 So, it's only 14 people have built a new house.

01:51:21.000 Let's max out at 16 just to be like, oh no, it's 16.

01:51:24.000 He's charitable.

01:51:25.000 Misinformation.

01:51:26.000 Yeah.

01:51:27.000 Like it's less than 20.

01:51:28.000 Yeah.

01:51:28.000 Less than 20 and 15.

01:51:29.000 Which is crazy.

01:51:30.000 And how many houses burnt down?

01:51:32.000 7,000.

01:51:34.000 So now you got the sales tax.

01:51:36.000 God, that's so crazy.

01:51:37.000 That's such a crazy number.

01:51:39.000 7,000 houses is so crazy.

01:51:41.000 What'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.

01:51:53.000 Again, when you're on Lahaina, you're on an island, I'll start arguing, oh, it's hard to get resources.

01:51:58.000 When 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.

01:52:08.000 Get enough water tankers from the whole state, every city, drive in water.

01:52:12.000 I have videos from January of moms walking in front of my son's elementary school.

01:52:16.000 It's totally there.

01:52:17.000 My son's preschool, 12 o'clock, totally there.

01:52:20.000 By the afternoon, all this is gone because there was no, they didn't bring water in.

01:52:26.000 It's crazy.

01:52:27.000 So, back to the land grab thing.

01:52:29.000 So, for instance, all these properties that burned down, like I said, it's years of passed down family property.

01:52:37.000 So, when you pass that, you pay that old tax rate.

01:52:40.000 Now, these 7,000 dirt lots in the next couple years, guess what the new tax rate is?

01:52:45.000 They'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.

01:52:58.000 So there's like 100 plus billion they're going to make just in taxes.

01:53:03.000 So the idea that, oh, why would they ever let that happen?

01:53:07.000 You 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.

01:53:19.000 It just gets fishy.

01:53:21.000 It does get weird.

01:53:22.000 Like, you don't want to accuse people of land grabs, but at the very least, they're capitalizing on a tragedy.

01:53:29.000 Well, you know, the number one buyer right now of Palisades dirt lots?

01:53:34.000 China.

01:53:35.000 Yeah.

01:53:35.000 No way.

01:53:36.000 Really?

01:53:37.000 Yeah.

01:53:38.000 Well, they do it through New Zealand.

01:53:41.000 It's a New Zealand business owned by the Chinese.

01:53:44.000 So, you know, it's all movie stuff.

01:53:47.000 I keep saying to people, Watch the movie Chinatown.

01:53:50.000 I watch it once a week just to like stay locked in, you know.

01:53:54.000 But 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.

01:54:05.000 Not the way the deputy mayor calls them bomb threats, but energetically.

01:54:10.000 And so it gives me hope.

01:54:11.000 And then again, if it's not God's plan, my wife is very on the, you know, prayer warrior, Bible, Jesus.

01:54:20.000 So I. You know, I check in with her and I go, What's Jesus saying, honey?

01:54:24.000 And, you know, I talk, but I think she has a better path.

01:54:28.000 And her thing is, if it's God's will, it's going to go down. 0.89

01:54:32.000 And if not, then I'll probably end up with some of my former Palestinians that moved to Bentonville, Arkansas. 0.94

01:54:38.000 And it is what it is. 1.00

01:54:39.000 But I will.

01:54:40.000 Well, there could be no doubt that Los Angeles needs a radical shift, they need a radical change.

01:54:46.000 And it sounds like that's exactly what you're proposing.

01:54:50.000 Big time.

01:54:51.000 And it's exciting, you know, because most people are scared.

01:54:54.000 They have fear of this system, they have fear of being attacked.

01:54:58.000 I get why a normal person that just has a good heart, that's smart, doesn't want to go into politics.

01:55:04.000 They will, you have the LA Times writing hit pieces.

01:55:07.000 They got machines to keep the system.

01:55:09.000 You got the comment sections.

01:55:11.000 You got people making videos, trying to expose bots.

01:55:15.000 You feel that.

01:55:16.000 But thankfully, I have experience from being hated in television for many years that.

01:55:22.000 You know, now the flip is I have so much love energy.

01:55:26.000 I was able to maintain with negativity for so many years and just stay in the game because it was business as usual.

01:55:33.000 And I knew they wanted a villain on all these shows.

01:55:35.000 I will, you know, shout out David Foster, who put me on this path many years ago.

01:55:40.000 He said, You got to be like Simon Cowell.

01:55:42.000 And I leaned into that and it worked for many years.

01:55:45.000 But the point is, being hated for so many years, now having so much love.

01:55:51.000 Obviously, I'd much rather be loved.

01:55:52.000 Let's be clear.

01:55:53.000 Anybody that wants to be loved is a lot more fun.

01:55:56.000 For sure.

01:55:57.000 For sure.

01:55:58.000 Listen, man, I'm voting for you.

01:55:59.000 I can't vote for you, but I'm rooting for you.

01:56:02.000 I mean, if I lived in Los Angeles, no question whatsoever, I would vote for you.

01:56:07.000 You have time to get one of these affordable beds.

01:56:09.000 I can put you, I can probably connect you with one of these beds.

01:56:13.000 I don't think that's legal.

01:56:14.000 I think I'm a Texas resident.

01:56:17.000 Okay.

01:56:17.000 Yeah, I'm a Texas resident.

01:56:19.000 Take that back.

01:56:20.000 I think I can only vote.

01:56:21.000 Well, did you see what they're doing right now with the cigarettes and the ballots in?

01:56:24.000 LA, have you seen this?

01:56:26.000 They caught all these people signing ballots, trading the zombies for cigarettes.

01:56:26.000 What?

01:56:30.000 Oh, I did see that.

01:56:31.000 So I need the DOJ, if you're watching the feds.

01:56:34.000 We need, no, we need to come to LA for my election.

01:56:34.000 Investigate.

01:56:37.000 We need to make sure we get a real election.

01:56:39.000 I can't believe we didn't do an hour on jujitsu, though.

01:56:42.000 That really is gross, what they're doing with giving people cigarettes to sign up for things.

01:56:47.000 Do you know how many people are like in the jujitsu game?

01:56:49.000 If you don't shout me out, like I need to just end with a list of people.

01:56:53.000 No, no, I'm just kidding.

01:56:54.000 Guys, we didn't talk jujitsu.

01:56:57.000 I talk jujitsu so much.

01:56:59.000 I know, but I just have to.

01:57:00.000 That's another thing.

01:57:01.000 Flavored nicotine is illegal in Los Angeles.

01:57:05.000 Just think about how many people are camped out on the streets, how many people are in tents, open fentanyl use.

01:57:11.000 You can't buy flavored Zins.

01:57:14.000 Well, even the cleanest ones that my health biohacker friends allegedly may or may not access it.

01:57:20.000 You can't have those.

01:57:21.000 Fitness people can't even.

01:57:23.000 Like athletic people. 0.84

01:57:24.000 Peptides are technically, you know.

01:57:26.000 Yeah.

01:57:26.000 Well, they're working on that stuff.

01:57:29.000 Nationwide, and hopefully that'll get passed soon. 0.97

01:57:31.000 But there's so many regulations in California that make fucking no sense, like no sense, particularly in Los Angeles. 0.98

01:57:39.000 They make no sense. 0.97

01:57:40.000 And 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. 0.82

01:57:48.000 And it's gross.

01:57:49.000 And it's just business as usual.

01:57:51.000 They want to keep moving in a direction of more regulation, more rules, less rights, more restrictions.

01:57:59.000 One last thing that's speaking is this is so crazy.

01:58:01.000 Do 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.

01:58:14.000 If 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.

01:58:24.000 If you want to get them out, they can go a whole year with not paying these landlords and then they have to pay.

01:58:30.000 100 grand in legal fees to try to get them out.

01:58:33.000 So then they settle with this criminal that's just abusing this loophole in this system.

01:58:38.000 They'll give them 50, 40K to just leave.

01:58:41.000 That person's not put on any list.

01:58:43.000 And then they go do it to another apartment building.

01:58:45.000 So 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.

01:58:53.000 So 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.

01:59:06.000 But there's no fun for the tenants to then defend themselves.

01:59:09.000 Jesus Christ.

01:59:12.000 It's so crazy.

01:59:14.000 So, again, it's about these people coming around me that are living this nightmare and be like, how do I help you stop these things?

01:59:22.000 And putting these people that know the game because they're living it.

01:59:27.000 And undo it.

01:59:27.000 Yeah.

01:59:28.000 We got to stop this.

01:59:29.000 Well, I'm glad we could help you get your message out.

01:59:33.000 And I really, really hope it helps.

01:59:35.000 And I really, really hope you win.

01:59:37.000 It would be fun.

01:59:38.000 It'd be fun to watch you shake it up.

01:59:40.000 And boy, if you could really change Los Angeles and turn it around, I mean, I mean, that would be absolutely fantastic.

01:59:50.000 It would be a great story.

01:59:51.000 It would be really amazing.

01:59:52.000 And 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.

02:00:00.000 I'm doing it.

02:00:01.000 All right.

02:00:02.000 Just give me a minute.
