00:00:00.320 Spencer Pratt, who's running for mayor of L.A.
00:00:05.860 Dude, this guy just dropped a bomb of an ad.
00:00:09.340 And then wait till you see this clip of Kieran Bass,
00:00:11.480 how she's being treated by people in L.A. while she's in a car trying to talk.
00:00:16.000 That clip excites me more than this one.
00:00:17.900 But here's Spencer Pratt dropping one of the greatest campaign ads of all time.
00:00:22.500 Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:23.160 This is where Mayor Bass lives.
00:00:24.920 You notice something?
00:00:25.800 Or here, where Nithya Rahman's $3 million mansion sits. 1.00
00:00:29.620 They don't have to live in the mess they've created where you live. 0.98
00:00:35.080 This is where I live.
00:00:36.760 They let my home burn down.
00:00:38.480 I know what the consequences of failed leadership are.
00:00:41.540 That's why I'm running for mayor.
00:00:43.220 For my sons and the rest of us Angelenos that want to stop these corrupt politicians from destroying our city.
00:00:49.560 We are going to get the golden age of Los Angeles back.
00:00:52.400 By the way, Jeannie Buss, Los Angeles Lakers, allegedly, if you want to pull this up, just gave him $10 million for his campaign.
00:00:59.620 Wow.
00:01:00.520 $10 million.
00:01:01.520 Okay, if you go look up.
00:01:02.620 That's going to fund that campaign, man.
00:01:04.260 Are you kidding me?
00:01:05.420 $10 million for real rate?
00:01:06.380 Do you have that story, Rob?
00:01:07.440 Can you just verify what I'm saying?
00:01:09.000 I thought I was going a little bit lower to see if there's a $10 million story.
00:01:12.400 I think you're right.
00:01:12.820 The story was going viral about her giving $10 million.
00:01:16.740 And then another thing with Spencer Pratt, Rob,
00:01:19.640 if you can go back to where you were at is if you can go back to where you were at,
00:01:24.500 on top of that, on Calci, you just had a Calci thing with him for mayor, right?
00:01:29.420 That's the one I want to look at.
00:01:30.160 There's a Calci on that.
00:01:31.020 Yeah, if you look at this, a Calci for mayor of L.A.
00:01:34.220 and watch what happened to him after he dropped this clip,
00:01:38.840 look what happens to him.
00:01:39.820 Go to one week.
00:01:40.640 Just go to one week.
00:01:41.320 Is he blue, Rob?
00:01:42.680 Can you go to one week?
00:01:43.460 He's blue, yes, Matt.
00:01:44.260 Go instead of 30 days, go to one week.
00:01:46.340 Is that it?
00:01:46.920 Yeah.
00:01:47.200 He's blue.
00:01:47.740 Boom.
00:01:48.040 He bumped up from April 24th.
00:01:51.000 He was April 20th.
00:01:51.840 Go to April 24th.
00:01:52.840 Where was he at?
00:01:53.300 April 24th, 15?
00:01:54.880 And now he's at what?
00:01:55.760 Go to today?
00:01:56.860 Boom, 25%.
00:01:58.540 So Nithya Rahman is at 52.6.
00:02:00.580 Karen Bass drops from being at 30 to being below 15 now.
00:02:04.820 She's dead.
00:02:05.360 Even the Democrats.
00:02:06.980 Physically, she's alive, Tom.
00:02:08.440 She's alive.
00:02:08.860 I know a lot of people are worried about her age.
00:02:10.900 Her chances are on life support is what I mean.
00:02:12.560 Her campaign is, as they say, her campaign is in deep trouble.
00:02:18.920 Even the Democrats aren't supporting her because she is so much baggage from the fires. 0.97
00:02:25.200 Here's Karen Bass out there asking for support in this beautiful car.
00:02:32.020 And look how folks from L.A. are talking to Karen Bass.
00:02:34.540 Go ahead, Rob.
00:02:35.340 Express our support for Chinatown.
00:02:38.100 Yes, we support Chinatown. 0.95
00:02:39.360 We don't support Karen Bass. 0.99
00:02:41.600 Thank you.
00:02:43.080 She's cut services. 0.99
00:02:45.480 Boom! 0.53
00:02:46.200 Good.
00:02:47.160 Good.
00:02:47.680 Oh, my God.
00:02:51.020 Oh, that one guy there, I think he was saying she's number one.
00:02:54.220 Is that Spencer running as a Democrat?
00:02:56.900 I don't think Spencer's running.
00:02:58.880 When it comes down to mayoral races, I don't know if they do Republican or Democrat.
00:03:05.060 They may, if you want to pull it up, if he's running at a Democrat as a Republican.
00:03:09.140 I'm speculating he's probably going to be a conservative himself.
00:03:14.180 Well, big cities do.
00:03:15.560 I was actually just talking to Republican.
00:03:17.760 Big cities do, obviously, are political.
00:03:19.760 And let me do this, and I'll come to you, Rob.
00:03:21.920 There's another clip where she was caught in shocking recording just days before the Palisades fight, fire.
00:03:30.140 Yep.
00:03:30.600 If you want to play this clip, watch this clip here.
00:03:33.260 Go ahead, Rob.
00:03:34.080 This situation is very dangerous, and I would never do.
00:03:38.580 I will take the criticism before I do a publicity stunt.
00:03:44.200 And frankly, a press conference at this point in time would just be publicity.
00:03:48.620 I think the neighbors.
00:03:51.480 the property owners yeah and the residents i mean 41 000 people live within a square mile here
00:03:57.200 yeah two families share one bedroom apartment but but they want to hear that something is
00:04:03.060 going to be done they want to know it's recognized but they want to know it's recognized exactly but
00:04:08.640 if i have a choice between that and compromising something i just have to go along with it
00:04:16.000 It's not my area of expertise.
00:04:18.820 I want to make sure that you are safe.
00:04:22.600 And hopefully you can read in between the lines.
00:04:26.340 But I would just appreciate.
00:04:29.060 And it's hard for me to tell you this.
00:04:32.440 But hold tight.
00:04:35.200 You will understand soon.
00:04:37.700 Bro, you know what that is?
00:04:40.560 That's somebody saying that they know something, but they don't want to say it out loud.
00:04:43.520 By the way, what was it?
00:04:44.500 Vinny, you lived in L.A.
00:04:45.800 What was it?
00:04:46.320 What are the hot winds called?
00:04:48.420 I don't know the name of them.
00:04:49.640 The Santa Anas.
00:04:50.520 Yes.
00:04:51.040 The weather report will say, here come the Santa Anas.
00:04:53.000 Santa Anas, buddy.
00:04:54.400 Did you even live in L.A.?
00:04:56.260 Santa Anas.
00:04:57.360 No, they're called.
00:04:57.900 Get a manufacturer.
00:04:58.820 No, I mean, anybody can Google it.
00:05:01.060 It's called the Santa Anas.
00:05:02.280 She had received a briefing that said the Santa Ana winds are going to kick up,
00:05:06.340 and they could be as high as 100 miles an hour at the bottom of canyons
00:05:10.080 where all the winds come together.
00:05:11.600 They warned her.
00:05:12.660 and she got on a plane and went to wherever, Ghana,
00:05:17.260 and you can hear that.
00:05:18.920 She's saying, read between the lines, be safe.
00:05:21.680 It's because the fires hadn't started, but people told her,
00:05:24.640 hey, man, we have fire season here, and this is really kind of crazy.
00:05:27.920 There it is, the Santa Ana winds, referred to as the devil winds,
00:05:31.280 or extremely high winds.
00:05:34.380 They come in with a high-pressure mask, and guess what?
00:05:37.060 All you need is a little spark.
00:05:38.220 I get so nervous with Tom's trivia.
00:05:39.720 Tom will be like, and George Washington went to this place,
00:05:41.700 and he was wearing what size shoe, Vinny?
00:05:43.520 And I'm like, I don't know.
00:05:45.620 Wait, wait, wait, hang on, hang on.
00:05:47.480 Now here's a math question for you.
00:05:48.080 For the sake of clarity, I did not see George Washington when he did that.
00:05:53.380 I was in the restroom.
00:05:54.560 Okay, got you.
00:05:55.360 But by the way, she's talking on the phone with John Al, A-L-L-E.
00:05:58.780 He's a property manager who works for Palisade, Pacific Palisades,
00:06:02.360 Westlake, Pat, and MacArthur Park.
00:06:04.060 And obviously he recorded it on purpose.
00:06:06.540 But while this is all building, she's not even – she left the country.
00:06:10.200 And remember at the airport, Pat, she's at the gate, and somebody's like,
00:06:13.480 people said that you knew beforehand, and you still went,
00:06:16.740 and she's just looking at the ground for five minutes because she can't talk. 0.98
00:06:19.960 It's ridiculous. 0.73
00:06:20.580 And then you have Gavin Newsom coming out, standing in the middle of burning rubber. 0.85
00:06:24.300 People's houses are destroyed.
00:06:25.780 People are dead, and he's like, yeah.
00:06:27.040 Talking to a lady.
00:06:27.780 I got a call, lady.
00:06:28.580 I got a call.
00:06:29.040 Yeah, I got a call.
00:06:29.780 But the other one was like, yeah, I've been talking to Josh Green,
00:06:32.600 and we're talking about some land grabbing. 0.65
00:06:34.300 And he's excited about people coming to grab land from all these freaking people.
00:06:38.360 Spencer Pratt is creating momentum. 0.64
00:06:40.560 He's making noise.
00:06:41.540 A lot of folks in L.A. are paying attention to him,
00:06:46.560 and God willing, he gets more and more momentum as he's going in this race.
00:06:49.960 Adam, your thoughts on this story?
00:06:51.080 Yeah, I got to give credit to Spencer Pratt for reinventing himself.
00:06:54.360 We talk about reinventing yourself all the time.
00:06:56.900 I remember when someone, I think, pitched, like,
00:06:58.820 hey, do you want to have Spencer Pratt on the podcast?
00:07:00.560 I was like, the reality guy from the 2000s?
00:07:03.640 They're like, oh, you haven't seen what he's up to these days?
00:07:06.020 Dude, he's running for mayor.
00:07:07.020 I'm like, as a joke?
00:07:08.480 They're like, no, he's for real.
00:07:09.860 And we've been looking into it, and he is for real.
00:07:13.140 You know who the joke is?
00:07:14.660 It's Karen Basslady. 1.00
00:07:16.340 So kudos to you.
00:07:17.820 I'm not sure.
00:07:18.940 You know, my whole thoughts on California, Los Angeles,
00:07:21.780 I think that's a fallen city just like New York.
00:07:23.860 Miami's the future.
00:07:25.120 Texas is the future.
00:07:26.520 L.A. looks cooked.
00:07:27.760 Literally half the city burnt down, allegedly.
00:07:30.420 But I got to give him major credit for reinventing himself.
00:07:32.920 And I got to tell you, kind of rooting for the guy.
00:07:35.500 That ad was badass.
00:07:37.020 Good for him.
00:07:38.300 And he has three things going for him.
00:07:40.700 He has the personality.
00:07:42.240 He knows what he is.
00:07:43.160 He knows how to work a camera, right?
00:07:46.600 He has policies, it seems,
00:07:48.560 because all you have to do is just be anti-Marxist,
00:07:50.900 anti-woke, anti-LGBTQ, ABTBC, and just be normal.
00:07:55.400 And he has the biggest decider.
00:07:57.920 You know what he has?
00:07:58.900 Purpose.
00:07:59.940 His house burnt down,
00:08:01.960 and he's living in a van down by the river.
00:08:05.040 Down by the Palisade.
00:08:06.220 There it is.
00:08:07.020 And we all know those Santa Ana wins, Vinny.
00:08:08.740 You know about that.
00:08:09.800 And I can't help but rooting for the guy.
00:08:12.040 So good luck to him.
00:08:12.840 But I hope people, like, I hope Californians, like, are starting to see, like.
00:08:18.140 Angelinos.
00:08:18.820 Angelinos.
00:08:19.320 Don't keep falling for the Democrat.
00:08:21.280 Whatever.
00:08:21.640 This guy actually was affected.
00:08:22.560 What do you mean?
00:08:24.060 When's the last time you think there was a Republican mayor in L.A.?
00:08:28.100 What year?
00:08:29.400 I don't remember.
00:08:29.760 Richard Rodden?
00:08:32.120 1849.
00:08:32.740 The 49er gold.
00:08:33.880 No, I'm just kidding.
00:08:34.680 2000.
00:08:35.440 It's been 26 years.
00:08:36.500 but here's my
00:08:37.180 Republican mayor in LA
00:08:39.200 here's your chance
00:08:40.280 back check that
00:08:40.720 here's your chance
00:08:41.720 and I know with
00:08:42.240 governor it's probably
00:08:43.440 not going to happen
00:08:44.040 but like you keep 1.00
00:08:45.400 voting for trash 1.00
00:08:46.520 you're going to get 1.00
00:08:47.660 trash
00:08:48.100 time to recycle that 0.90
00:08:49.520 yeah what are they
00:08:50.340 like this is your
00:08:51.140 opportunity to freaking
00:08:52.280 like start bucking
00:08:53.680 the system a little bit
00:08:54.560 get somebody in there
00:08:55.260 that actually gives a damn 0.88
00:08:56.280 like they actually
00:08:57.340 give a damn about
00:08:58.140 what the hell's going on 0.96
00:08:59.020 is he still married 0.96
00:08:59.620 to the Heidi girl
00:09:00.520 by the way there was
00:09:01.060 a story going viral
00:09:02.040 that Jeannie Buss
00:09:02.680 gave 10 million
00:09:03.560 I'm trying to find
00:09:04.400 this 10 million
00:09:05.140 because it wasn't
00:09:05.980 our text community as well,
00:09:08.380 I don't think it's $10 million. I think
00:09:09.980 she gave max, the
00:09:11.980 max you can. She donated
00:09:13.540 $1,800. $1,800, which is
00:09:16.040 a max. $1,800, $10 million.
00:09:18.460 But where did that $10 million
00:09:20.200 thing come from? It's probably because she sold the 1.00
00:09:22.020 business for $10 billion, because the Lakers sold for 1.00
00:09:23.940 $10 billion. So I don't know how it would have $10 million. So she did not give him that
00:09:26.040 money. No, it was on a community tax. So to correct
00:09:28.200 it, it's $1,800, Jeannie Buss. Thank you for correcting.
00:09:30.380 Gave to it the FLB
00:09:32.000 shoes. People were messaging
00:09:34.040 me size 14 it's coming soon they were messaging messaging us about a couple different things
00:09:39.300 that's coming up as well pat what's the surprise with the big shoe we have a lot of stuff that's
00:09:42.820 going on but right now when you look at this couple of these sizes at 10 10 and a half 11
00:09:47.600 we have less than 40 pairs of those sizes so if you're somebody that wants to get your future
00:09:53.960 looks bright shoes and you haven't yet for yourself or your spouse go get them especially
00:09:57.360 if you're walking a lot you're talking yesterday we're sitting in a meeting literally tom and i
00:10:01.080 in Palm Beach with two billionaires,
00:10:03.940 of which one of them gave $50 million to,
00:10:07.280 you know, he gave a lot of money to the previous campaign.
00:10:09.900 And we're talking business.
00:10:10.800 We're talking about all this other stuff.
00:10:12.700 And I say, hey, one of our products is this shoe.
00:10:15.180 I take the shoe out.
00:10:15.960 The guy literally grabs the shoe out of my hand.
00:10:18.340 He says, you got to be kidding me.
00:10:19.560 These are $600?
00:10:20.980 Show me that.
00:10:21.800 Yeah, these are $600.
00:10:22.840 I say, yeah, they're $600.
00:10:23.900 Xenias are $1,200.
00:10:25.300 And they have the super foam, and they're light,
00:10:27.620 and they're comfortable,
00:10:28.300 And they're made in the same exact factories as, you know, Hermes and Louis Vuitton and all this other stuff.
00:10:33.580 So if you haven't yet picked that up, Rob, go play the clip about FLB shoes, and then we'll get right into the podcast.
00:10:39.400 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast.
00:10:47.220 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:10:49.380 We chose neither.
00:10:50.900 Instead, we chose Tuscaneiro.
00:10:52.900 We chose true Italian craftsmanship.
00:10:55.840 Each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:10:58.300 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality at every step.
