00:00:30.000 Tomorrow, L.A. mayoral race.
00:00:33.860 Is there any chance that Spencer Pratt will go on into the November election?
00:00:39.480 Now, here's the thing.
00:00:40.380 Everybody wanted top two.
00:00:41.980 The liberals in California, the progressive, wanted top two to be on the left.
00:00:45.900 This is what's going on with the race right now if you look at the numbers.
00:00:48.440 Bass is still in the lead.
00:00:50.340 I don't know which poll this is, Rob, because there's some later polls.
00:00:53.040 That's as of the 24th.
00:00:54.840 There's some polls that have come out the last couple days
00:00:56.860 because today is the June 1st, tomorrow's, June 2nd.
00:01:00.060 But if you go based on this, the latest poll,
00:01:03.540 it's Bass, Rahman, the progressive socialist
00:01:05.840 that wants to blame cars for people stealing parts from a car,
00:01:08.880 which is very weird.
00:01:09.960 But Pratt's making some momentum.
00:01:11.340 Rob, if you want to play this clip. 0.98
00:01:12.840 The race is now a toss-up between incumbent Democrat Karen Bass,
00:01:16.600 progressive upstart Nithya Rahman, and Spencer Pratt.
00:01:19.800 Fox News contributor Mary Catherine Hamm is here.
00:01:22.100 So Pratt was in the building yesterday,
00:01:23.760 and then he did Fox and Friends,
00:01:25.700 and he did part of the show.
00:01:27.060 Rob, you can stop this one here because we'll do our commentary.
00:01:29.620 So the numbers, you see the numbers where it's at.
00:01:31.580 Spencer Pratt rejects Trump's backing in L.A. mayoral race
00:01:37.520 and while Jimmy Kimmel criticizes Spencer Pratt's L.A. mayoral race.
00:01:41.900 Rob, if you want to play this clip, this is the one about Trump.
00:01:43.780 Go for it.
00:01:44.560 Do you want his endorsement?
00:01:45.720 I don't need anyone's endorsement but mothers. 0.88
00:01:47.880 That's who's getting me elected. 0.90
00:01:48.820 People keep forgetting it's Democratic moms that do not feel safe 1.00
00:01:53.280 that are putting me in office in five days. 0.99
00:01:55.700 Can you explain to me something?
00:01:56.720 Because you don't, you're not afraid of anything.
00:01:58.360 You're not afraid of giving your opinion on anything,
00:01:59.960 but you won't give me an opinion on President Trump.
00:02:02.540 And I get it, that his endorsement,
00:02:04.440 his blessing may not be good for you,
00:02:06.460 likely isn't good for you in L.A.
00:02:07.940 But if you're fearless, but if you're fearless,
00:02:10.340 what do you think of President Trump?
00:02:11.620 You're a Republican, right?
00:02:12.860 Again, this is, this right here, what you're doing,
00:02:15.640 I'm just asking, I'm telling you,
00:02:16.940 this conversation is what's destroyed local elections.
00:02:20.840 People don't care in L.A.
00:02:22.340 They want to feel safe. 0.99
00:02:24.100 They don't want to step in human poop. 0.72
00:02:25.700 I don't need to have personal opinions about anybody that doesn't affect them stepping in human poop.
00:02:31.500 It's not being scared.
00:02:33.080 I'm just not falling in for this tribal politics back and forth.
00:02:36.680 It's local election.
00:02:37.840 I'm not running for president.
00:02:39.860 So it doesn't matter my opinion on any president.
00:02:42.020 What do you think about his answer, Randy? 0.97
00:02:43.000 I absolutely love it because look at what the freaking fake, horrible media is trying to do. 0.53
00:02:48.320 They're trying to get you in that got you moment because apparently people in California want Karen Bass. 0.94
00:02:53.920 They're Stockholm Syndrome in full effect
00:02:57.520 I don't understand
00:02:58.200 You think Spencer Pratt is doing this because he needs the money?
00:03:02.300 No, he's personally been affected, Pat
00:03:04.140 I don't understand
00:03:05.120 I had this conversation with my cousin yesterday
00:03:06.600 Who lives in California
00:03:08.000 Karen Bass is leading
00:03:10.400 What has she done that makes somebody go
00:03:13.740 You know what, I'm going to go with her
00:03:15.280 If it's just identity politics 0.98
00:03:17.140 If it's just because she's a strong black woman 1.00
00:03:20.260 Give me a freaking break 1.00
00:03:22.220 okay she was in Ghana during the freaking fires and knowingly apparently allegedly with that leaked 1.00
00:03:27.620 audio that came out okay failed at homelessness failed at taxes she is a failed mayor and the 0.99
00:03:33.620 fact that she is still leading the only thing is identity politics or people just love abuse you 0.97
00:03:39.220 have fallen in love with your abusers California and you don't want to change it period that's why
00:03:43.440 you vote for people like that and you keep voting for people like Gavin Newsom you guys need change
00:03:47.580 Not Barack Obama change, real, actual change.
00:03:51.380 And I honestly, Pat, I don't know him personally.
00:03:53.520 I think this guy, what do you guys have to lose?
00:03:56.580 You could only go up from here.
00:03:58.740 I think Spencer Pratt is their decision, period.
00:04:01.420 Go for it.
00:04:01.980 Tom.
00:04:02.720 I think there's a couple things that are showing up.
00:04:04.720 First of all, I agree with that.
00:04:06.140 It's not just Stockholm syndrome.
00:04:08.120 It's habitual.
00:04:09.600 It's the old elections in America.
00:04:12.340 And this was before you were born, Vinny, before I was born.
00:04:16.780 You would walk into a voting booth and pull a little curtain around, and there was a – you could just pull the lever, and it was set up that you could pull the party lever, just vote Democrat.
00:04:27.440 And so that was put in there by the party machines.
00:04:31.100 Chicago loved it because it didn't matter.
00:04:33.800 The voter was just voting on the party.
00:04:35.800 Hey, trust me, all of our guys are good.
00:04:37.860 Yeah.
00:04:38.320 And that's just terrible, and what you're saying is correct.
00:04:42.120 What's going on in the numbers, Pat, it doesn't look like Raman.
00:04:45.920 And Raman has been fading.
00:04:47.420 She's been fading on Kalshi.
00:04:48.680 There's a Kalshi on this.
00:04:49.620 It's got over 13 points.
00:04:51.120 And there's also the Public Sentiment Institute, which just did their – the Public Sentiment Institute, I give it to you, Rob, in the text.
00:04:59.820 And they were out on X.
00:05:01.980 They are the most recent poll.
00:05:03.600 They were Friday afternoon.
00:05:05.280 And they've got Bass at 40, Pratt at 21, Raman at 12, and you see Kalshi at 62, 26, 13.
00:05:11.940 But there's a lot – I think there's a lot of Democrat money in on the Calci side, which I think Calci's ultimately, as we come to November, it's going to come to the point of accuracy because these prediction markets usually do.
00:05:26.860 But right now, there's been a lot of push.
00:05:29.660 But I think it's going to be Bass and Pratt.
00:05:33.360 Bass is not going to get the 50.1 she needs.
00:05:36.380 Remember, if Karen Bass gets 50.1 tomorrow, Pat, this is over.
00:05:40.100 We're done.
00:05:40.740 There's no November election.
00:05:42.440 So meaning if Rahman gets out of it, it isn't over.
00:05:46.580 It's done.
00:05:47.700 Yeah, well, Rahman can't get out now because tomorrow's the election, June 2nd.
00:05:51.440 So tomorrow, if Bass got—
00:05:53.720 Even today, if she wanted to get out, she couldn't get out.
00:05:55.600 Well, she would have to go everywhere today screaming, 0.96
00:05:59.380 don't vote for me, vote for Karen Bass.
00:06:00.980 And somehow she would have to get that message all the way around.
00:06:03.400 Got it. So it's too late for that point.
00:06:04.200 Too late. Okay.
00:06:05.120 So then that means the campaign manager for Pratt is Rahman.
00:06:09.040 indirectly ramen campaigns for spencer pratt yep yep and now the question is right here public
00:06:16.380 senate institute is pointing out where do miller and huang go there's 15 points that are out there
00:06:22.660 and there's 12 points that are undecided this summer is going to come down to bass and pratt
00:06:28.180 and los angelinos deciding who they want well let me tell you what spencer pratt's endorsements are
00:06:33.740 and then, Adam, I'll come to you.
00:06:34.760 You got Rogan Carolla, Dennis Quaid, Paris Hilton,
00:06:39.940 allegedly backed him on April 24th, promoted Spencer for mayor,
00:06:45.020 James Woods, Billy Bush, Meghan McCain.
00:06:48.540 You got Christine Cavallari.
00:06:52.660 You got Brody Jenner.
00:06:54.040 You got Amber Rose.
00:06:55.880 But then there's a part of it that's Jamie Kennedy,
00:06:58.400 and then he said in an interview that Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx,
00:07:02.380 He claimed in an interview with U.S. Weekly that actor DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx
00:07:07.020 privately expressed support for his campaign during that interview with U.S. Weekly.
00:07:11.160 So whether he's telling the truth or not, and Jimmy Kimmel came out and criticized him.
00:07:16.120 Rob, I don't know if you have this clip with Kimmel.
00:07:17.940 There's a clip of Kimmel criticizing Spencer Pratt. Go for it.
00:07:21.360 The city is a mess. That is something that became especially obvious during the fires.
00:07:25.740 But the people running the city, when you say this place is a mess, they go, no, actually it isn't.
00:07:30.420 We're doing a lot.
00:07:31.760 And then we look around and go, I'm not seeing it.
00:07:33.960 And then they go, oh, it's there.
00:07:36.080 Things are looking up.
00:07:37.100 And this makes the people who live here upset,
00:07:39.300 especially people whose homes and neighborhoods burn down
00:07:42.120 and are trying to run businesses with people who need help
00:07:45.980 sleeping in front of the door of their restaurants
00:07:47.920 because they have nowhere else to go.
00:07:49.320 They're frustrated because nothing seems to change.
00:07:52.140 So then you get a guy who is on a reality show,
00:07:55.260 who's on a lot of reality shows. 0.99
00:07:56.600 His profession is to be the screaming jerk on reality shows. 1.00
00:08:00.180 And his house burns down. 0.99
00:08:01.760 And even though he had no private insurance on his house and doesn't believe in climate change,
00:08:05.700 he is understandably upset about his house burning down.
00:08:09.280 And since he's a moderately famous person, he gets attention.
00:08:12.240 He's on the news. He's on social media.
00:08:14.120 And for the first time in his life, people are agreeing with what he has to say.
00:08:18.400 This is skillful under me.
00:08:20.000 With what he has to say. He's angry about the same problems a lot of people here are angry about.
00:08:24.760 Does he have solutions to those problems? No.
00:08:27.600 And yet he's polling in second place.
00:08:29.820 And if he's one of the top two candidates after the primary next Tuesday, a week from tonight, he will be one of our two choices for mayor of Los Angeles.
00:08:38.040 You know what's funny about him?
00:08:39.920 Carolla just got his, what do you call it?
00:08:43.080 A star, right?
00:08:44.480 And he gets up there and he gives a speech.
00:08:46.980 He says, even though we disagree politically, I am so happy for Adam Carolla.
00:08:52.000 Because if you notice, Carolla endorsed for Spencer Pratt.
00:08:55.360 He did not.
00:08:56.080 So it's an interesting speech he's given here.
00:08:57.700 Just first 10 seconds, we'll tell you, Rob, go ahead.
00:09:01.180 Adam and I, as you probably know, don't agree much when it comes to politics, but I love him dearly.
00:09:06.020 I've never worked with anyone funnier.
00:09:08.420 I am proud of him.
00:09:10.940 You can pause him.
00:09:11.780 Pat, you know what's crazy?
00:09:12.820 What?
00:09:13.040 Like, his head writer on that show, it's supposed to be comic comedy, like, it's his wife.
00:09:18.000 Whatever you're hearing, his head writer is his wife.
00:09:21.460 He's the type of guy that when the wife's talking, his head is just down.
00:09:24.540 But wait, what he just did. 0.55
00:09:26.020 His wife is 100% writing his stuff.
00:09:28.960 She's the head writer of this show.
00:09:30.900 And notice the audience is just like, there's no emotion.
00:09:33.680 There's no nothing.
00:09:35.160 It feels like he's just under a spell. 0.60
00:09:37.500 I'd rather be stuck on that freaking roller coaster upside down than listen to that.
00:09:41.700 No, I'll give you that. 0.86
00:09:42.660 And you know me.
00:09:43.480 I have vertigo.
00:09:44.120 I'll give you that, but that looked kind of authentic.
00:09:46.280 No, no, not.
00:09:47.080 You're talking about his friend's story.
00:09:47.900 No, no, I'm not talking about that.
00:09:49.220 I'm talking about his monologue.
00:09:50.320 I get it.
00:09:51.080 I said, I'll give you that.
00:09:52.560 I'll give you that on his show and all the.
00:09:54.680 Yeah. 1.00
00:09:54.880 The trash that comes out of his mouth on the show. 0.99
00:09:59.240 That's authentic because that's his friend. 1.00
00:10:00.440 She's not writing that.
00:10:01.480 She's not the head writer of his life.
00:10:02.800 Well, if Jimmy Kimmel wanted to get ratings, you know what he should do?
00:10:05.520 What?
00:10:05.980 Have Spencer Pratt on the show, buddy.
00:10:08.300 Spencer Pratt's making his rounds.
00:10:10.180 He was just on Bill Maher.
00:10:11.020 He was on Gutfeld.
00:10:12.200 I know you guys have been discussing things.
00:10:15.260 Trump kind of weighed in on the election.
00:10:17.820 And what did Spencer Pratt say?
00:10:19.180 I'm good.
00:10:19.700 I don't need an endorsement.
00:10:20.780 Good.
00:10:21.260 Now, why would you say something like that?
00:10:22.640 because if this were more of a national election,
00:10:26.480 of course you want Trump's endorsement,
00:10:28.360 but this is a local election.
00:10:29.940 But this election has taken shape of a different monster
00:10:33.320 because we're talking about this guy
00:10:34.820 as the lead story on the show.
00:10:36.980 So I think, in essence,
00:10:38.680 anyone that's solving for common sense
00:10:41.060 and wants some change in L.A. would want Pratt.
00:10:44.460 Here's my opinion.
00:10:45.820 I think there's going to be a runoff
00:10:47.120 between Bass and Pratt,
00:10:49.920 and I think Pratt is going to win.
00:10:51.360 That's my opinion. 1.00
00:10:51.980 what would it what's it going to look like if karen bass gets into a runoff with the ramen noodle 1.00
00:10:58.080 lady so you're just going to have a socialist progressive basically debating a marxist communist 1.00
00:11:03.860 let me know how that's going to work out for you guys la that's something we're looking for because
00:11:07.800 karen bass basically is basically doing the whole nothing to see here everything's fine
00:11:11.660 let's just keep it going keep the good times rolling ramen is basically like i'm a communist
00:11:17.240 let's burn it all down and start over. Whereas Pratt is basically anti-establishment,
00:11:22.780 which would be common sense in LA at this point. And she says, we just need some new
00:11:27.340 level-headed common sense experience. And then here's the final point. Do you know who's voting
00:11:32.820 for Pratt? If he wins, if Pratt wins, you know, who's going to vote for him? All the Democrats,
00:11:38.960 women Democrats, mother Democrats. He says he doesn't even know a Republican in LA.
00:11:43.400 He said that, his words.
00:11:45.260 He said his sister is the most progressive Democrat he knows,
00:11:48.820 and she's voting for him, obviously.
00:11:50.840 So all his friends, all Hollywood, all the Hollywood elite reality stars,
00:11:55.520 Democrats who are basically saying, let's vote for Pratt, and I hope they do.
00:11:58.980 Here's the part, guys.
00:11:59.960 If you're from L.A. and you want things to change,
00:12:03.420 you want to contribute towards the change, get out there and vote.
00:12:06.300 And not only that, get your friends to go out there and vote as well.
00:12:09.740 Get your family, get everybody to go out there and vote.
00:12:11.460 This is where you can actually make an impact locally, locally.
00:12:15.740 If you want to see change, go support and contribute to what Spencer Pratt is doing in L.A.
00:12:21.660 It would be an incredible, incredible story going into 2028.
00:12:25.540 You know what would happen after 2026 if Pratt wins L.A. mayoral race?
00:12:29.300 You know what would happen?
00:12:30.680 The cover of Time magazine will have mayor of L.A., Pratt, going against mayor of New York City, Bambani.
00:12:39.100 Oh, yeah.
00:12:39.700 It'll be an incredible spectacle of who can clean up the streets better,
00:12:46.920 who can make which street better.
00:12:48.520 Trust me, as a case study, we all want to see this thing here. 0.95
00:12:53.700 Two hardcore liberal cities that one side goes the Mamdani side,
00:12:58.780 the other side goes the Spencer Pratt side.
00:13:00.500 It'd be a great case study for everybody to watch nationwide.
00:13:03.800 It was yesterday.
00:13:04.820 We had people over at the house, and I'm walking around,
00:13:08.060 and Tom has asked me about the different shoes.
00:13:10.500 So I wore the white, the brown, and the black this weekend, okay?
00:13:14.960 All weekend, I wore the white, the brown, and the black.
00:13:17.740 The white was for Santa's birthday.
00:13:19.640 The brown I wore at the office on Friday, and the black I wore yesterday, right?
00:13:23.840 Every single day, except for now I think it's 12 days,
00:13:28.160 since September 9th of 2025, I have worn these Future Looks Bright shoes.
00:13:34.280 They're the most comfortable shoes I have with the on-cloud,
00:13:37.660 what do you call it, the super foam technology on the bottom.
00:13:41.040 And then made in Tuscany, made in Italy.
00:13:43.920 Rob, if you want to play this clip, folks, with fathers that have been around the corner,
00:13:47.000 if you haven't yet picked up yourself a future looks bright shoe for yourself,
00:13:51.040 maybe pick it up for your father or somebody that you love.
00:13:53.120 Go ahead and play the clip, Rob.
00:13:54.440 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury,
00:14:00.120 we had the choice to make it fast.
00:14:02.020 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:14:04.020 We chose neither.
00:14:06.020 Instead, we chose Tuscaneiro.
00:14:08.020 We chose true Italian craftsmanship,
00:14:10.020 each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:14:13.020 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail,
00:14:17.020 and we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:14:21.020 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:14:24.020 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:14:29.020 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
00:14:37.460 There you go.
00:14:38.200 Go to vtmerch.com, place your order.
00:14:40.520 Again, go to vtmerch.com, place your order with the latest FLB shoes.
00:14:45.340 Some sizes are not available.
00:14:47.020 14 is still not in, but go check to make sure the size is in
00:14:49.580 because they sell out fairly quickly once they come in.
