All merch is available exclusively at clubrandom.com. Once again, that's clubrandom.com. All the ones I spent millions of dollars for years. I would say the the protection energy I thought I don't have to think about that one, no I do not want my phone I can you sending the naked pictures I can't even hey I don't know if rules about getting up I said sit in my seat we're in the campaign merch, huh? Well I'm you know saves me from having to style my hair or anything. Please you don't have to sell put some pomade in. You don't have to sell me on selling. Well thankfully, technically my merch is a donation, it's not merch. What what does that mean? Then when you donate you get the hat. Oh . So you donated to your own campaign that's how you can do it. Well, look, I have to tell you, by the way, I'm not gonna light this. I I feel naked without it, but I'm a little under the weather. So I'm not gonna- But I can't, it's like I can't even do this show without having it in my hand. Uh but uh I gotta tell you , whatever happens, everywhere I go, like restaurants when I'm out, and you know, I'm very approachable. Uh people are uh w Spencer Pratt. When you can have Spencer Pratt what do you think of Spencer Pratt? I mean, you are on people's minds out here. Nobody can take that away from you. That is just a fact. I am telling you. It's anecdotal, but I'm a good sounding board because people want you on my shows. They want to and so I mean if nothing else happens, you you did that. I don't think we saw that coming a year ago. I mean again I never planned to be the mayor of LA. I only ran to have a bigger platform to expose all the negligence is the reason why I even ran because this person in charge burned my house down. I know, but you know, uh honestly, I've I keep hearing you say that you're making it a little too personal. I mean she is not a great mayor. I don't think either and then that is a very common view even among a lot of Democrats. Um I know her. I once interviewed her for an event. Uh, you know, it was a private thing. Uh I like her and but uh, you know, she fucked up some things, a lot of people fucked up some things. One person didn't burn your house down. Agreed. Agreed. But let me one person who's in charge of all the things that got fucked up that burned my house down. So you have to hold somebody responsible who's in charge. So listen. She didn't. She was in Ghana, so she obviously didn't . So it is personal because I have to hear my crying mom every day. The lady across the street my house burned alive. The lady with the parrots. You know, so it is personal. You know Well, don't drag the parents. I mean she was she was trying to save the parrot. I'm an animal who I can bring the hummingbirds on. No. It's personal to me too. I live here too. I remember I was doing the podcast here on January 7th, 2025. And uh the guest was uh Matt Gates. And I mean I gotta say, you know, we don't see eye to eye in a lot of stuff policy wise, but this dude like drove through a fire to get here. And we taped until they came out of the uh somewhere around here, wherever the people who taping this do this, and uh said, you gotta bug out. We taped right until we had to fucking go . And I'm, you know, and uh this is a canyon, that is that is a kill zone Didn't this house already burn down once? I thought I was told. Uh yes, but that was more of a kitchen fire. Okay. So it's not a lucky spot. No . LA is not a lucky spot. It's a dumb fucking place to have built a city. Look, I'm telling you, I went back on the air ten days later, it was the first show of our season last year, and my first editorial was, you know, a scathing review of this. And it's a dumb place to have built a city like this. Um, there's not enough water. Uh, and those winds were catastrophically high, but they also fucked up so much. And it didn't have to go down that way. I mean the the the oh the uh fire hydrants the water didn't come out. You know, we're looking into well, you know, d or the power lines. Oh, it'll cost a lot of money to bury the power lines. Uh, should we have a bond? No. How about take some of the fucking exorbitant taxes I already give you and prioritize burying the power lines. Whatever. You know, the the milk vetch thing, you remember that thing? Oh, I remember. What no what the So the Milk Vetch I didn't know what it was until I lost everything. It sounds the ugliest plant you've ever seen. It's not even a plant we should be trying to protect. It doesn't it's not beautiful. It's it's literally an ugly bush. But Spencer, we don't just protect the beautiful. This plant, it doesn't even have a flower coming out of it. Okay, again, not again. It looks like a weed. Okay, well, should we did we pull weeds. Should we kill all the blobfish? They're really fair. The milk vets should not be more protected than human beings. That's true. Which is uh and tell the people what it is then. Tell the people. So it's uh dumb excuse me to the botanists or whatever. They're gonna be like, it's so important to the root system. I agree. It's a great plant, but we should have 300 feet of it cleaned up. We should have fire breaks around our community. Like you said, well it's we built in a in a dumb place to build, but we also let sixty years of dead brush surround it. And if you saw last week in semi-valley, they had a fire break, and that's why all those houses didn't burn down instantly. And again, rewind the wind in the palisades. This is a big thing that we gotta stop saying. The wind in the palaces, because I was there till my house burned down at the top of the hill. It never was above 40 miles per hour. Planes were flying, helicopters went. Altadena had the catastrophic hurricane winds. Whole two hours away from the Palestinians. We didn't have a wind problem. We had a no-water problem, two empty reservoirs. So I'm just saying the whole thing. The wind thing is a conspiracy. Like I people. through them, but you know, like really vetting it because I wanted to get it right. But it is it is true that the milk vetch again it sounds so Yiddish. Um it it just by whatever its contribution to the fire was not worth it because the fire for a city that thinks it's so environmentally this and that , the fire is the worst thing for the environment. It set our we made 20 years of progress with what we did with cars and it undid it all in one fire. And I still see I have this little thing on my desk. I've made fun of it before 'cause at the it tells you, you know, how the air quality is and it says on the bottom, you know, uh, Congratulations, you've achieved excellent air quality. Like I fucking need my ass kissed by this fucking thing every day. Okay, but like I see so many days when it's like, why? Why is you know, 'cause if when things are good, the little face of the man is green and smiling, and then many days he's like yellow and does not look happy. And then sometimes, well, when I smoke pot in the room, he's orange. He's very angry at the pot, is like but no, I mean, why so many days? And I think this is it. It's it's you know, the smoke is worse than than it would have been better to kill the milk fitch, I think is what we're saying. That should be your campaign slogan, by the way. Just use that as like you're you're selling yourself as the common sense guy, right. Pratt hates milk veg. That's the message you want to get out. You know, Kabbalah had we're gonna give prisoners tits. This is your thing, okay? You gotta have something people can hook onto, bro. The problem is there's only certain communities that care about that. There's people that do not care that the Palisades burned down because they don't get the Hollywood Hills can burn down, Tahang , Sun Lin, uh, you know, Bel Air , these people don't care about these places burning down. And that's where all this milk vetch and dead brush. People in the you know, South Central and Eagle Road, these people don't care about the milk vetch. So I need to have I'm stopping naked drug addicts in front of your kids. That's my get behind thing. That's the that's my winning. Yes. Good to see you. Yes. But in that case, those people are your allies, because we're united against the milk veg. I'm telling you. I'm a much more of a hawk on the milk vetch than you are. Extremism in the defense of killing the milk vetch Here's the other thing. Obviously if you're an environmental person, you don't care when the house is burned down. You don't care when the people burned down. But do they not care about all the animals? We lost all the coyotes, we lost the lizards, the snakes, the the whole thing. And let's not leave about the parrots. And the hummingbirds. Oh I hummingbirds died too. Uh uh Okay. I I f okay, let's not come on, it's a happy campaign. Oh, I didn't know this. You know, you gotta be like Reagan, Sonny. But you were always a Republican, right? This isn't a converted. So no, this is a great story. Oh. Great . Let's hear it . So I was a very hated personality. I'm still hated by a l a big segment. That's what I know about you. So that's for sure. So when you're very hated, you get a lot of threats, especially when people didn't know reality TV wasn't real. So I would get a lot of death threats. I would have security to try to Okay. I'm gonna give you this. No, but I I gotta I I gotta s I gotta set it because like I ha I have to admit to you, I very s before you ran from air, very sketchy, I knew you were I'm sorry to say this, but here's what I knew. I knew the name, douchebag , uh m uh some reality show. I couldn't have named it with a gun to my head, but I know now because I s read about you in the paper it was the OC No, no, the Hills. Yes. Was that a spin-up of the OC ? Kind of. OC was a scripted shit. Anyway, some douchebag white kids like in uh in those kind of you know places in Southern California. Uh that's what I knew, and you were like the king douchebag. This is I'm just saying what I knew. By the way, I've been called a douchebag too. I I 'm fine with this. Okay. I know. The lady on CBS says that was actually a douche canoe. What's that? I had never heard it in the tele CBS morning show. A canoe. A douche canoe. I don't get it. I didn't either, but that's I guess it's it's an upgraded douche, I think. God, CBS is in trouble. Anyway . Okay, so that's all I know. So now I I place you I never believe anything by the way. People call me names about like I I always say everybody's a monster till you talk to them. And that's why I want to talk to you. Because uh that's what I knew . And now we have this new you. So tell me what you were going to tell me. Yeah, so rewind. When I was 20, I was at USC studying political science. I see the Osborne's on, they get $25 million dollars. So I call my friend Brody Jenner, whose dad was David Foster, and I said, Can I film a reality show about you guys? He went he went too fast. David uh Jody David Foster, the music producer. I know him. So he Who's the kid? Brody Jenner. He's Caitlyn Jenner's son. Caitlin Jenner's son. So when when Caitlin was Bruce married to Chris. Okay. I'm glad everything always comes back to the Kardashians. Yes. So wouldn't it be America if it didn't. So they s it happened. So I sold this to Fox at 20 years old. And then that show got as the executive producer creator. Wow. And then Foster advised me to be like Simon Cowell, which I didn't understand, was like the villain. So I leaned into that. But Simon Cowell got to be the villain because he was telling people how not to sing. And it w I just was the villain just as a as a douchebag. Right. So I leaned into that and it was very profitable. But what happened is people took it very real and obviously I kept leaning in because I was chasing ratings bonuses and I was all in on my character. But people took it very serious back then. This is pre-Instagram. X hadn't even dropped this Twitter. This was you're watching the box. Five million people think that's real. So I was getting all these death threats. So obviously, my security is like, you need to get a gun. So I get a gun. And then as I am a gun owner with my wife in Los Angeles, to have a gun, you need a CCW. So that's a concealed carry weapons for him. Very hard to get. And the only people that supported a CCW was the Republican Party. All I cared about politically was to protect my wife and then my kids. That's my only political thing I'm connected to. So you're that you're that voter who they always interview. What are the issues important to you? Because the rest of the world can go fuck itself. What are the issues important to me my g okay. So that was the issue important to you. It could have been abortion, could have been something else. But to you it was just a gun. To keep my wife safe and then kids. Then people don't realize I'm also again from LA. I don't know a single Republican. Every I went to Crossroads, I grew up here from the Palestinians. Every single one of my friends is a Democrat. Right. I don't all the people I talked to all day long, my whole life, are Democrats. My older sister is the most progressive Democrat in maybe California. I don't do this party stuff. I didn't I was trying to be famous. If you talk about polit ics from my perspective, respectfully to people talk about politics, they're trying to be famous. So I never did politics and I only cared about anything on the political. But now do you care about all the issues? No. No. I I don't wait. That's wrong answer. Okay. We gotta we gotta now the candidate was uh had a rough night and uh I care about safety for safety, the lights being on, potholes, what a mayor should care about. If it's legal, you know, I'm gonna be enforcing uh I mean smoking I don't want you smoking front of kids at the park. Oh be enforcing if you're smoking that in front of a kid at a swing. I'll I'll be getting you as mayor. You know, no more drugs around kids at parks and schools in front of daycares, even if it's a legal pot. We need to have a society of consequences again. I never thought growing up You know, there's a special kind of panic reserved for car trouble. I'm not talking about the check engine light that we all ignore. I mean the real stuff, the weird noise, the sudden sputter, then you break down. And it never happens when you're alone with nothing to do. It happens when you've got somewhere to be, or worse, people in the car asking, so uh what's your plan ?

You deserve mental health care that works with you, not against your budget. It's interesting to talk to somebody who didn't take an interest in politics until recently. And you know what they come out very often? More conservative. They're like, you know, why should I give my I work hard for my money. Why should that be going, you know, it's like, and I'm like, you know, that's what conservatives say. Oh no, I'm a liberal. You think you're a liberal, but you just don't know about anything. You don't know the issues. You don't know stuff like that. And you're just this is just your reaction to stuff. Taxes, no taxes on tips? I'll vote I'll vote for Trump tomorrow, because that's the issue that's important to them. You can't blame people for that. People are, we're all just trying to live our own lives. And the issues that are important to you just have to hope that these, and I think you you're onto something. This is why everyone's asking me about you. People are having the same feeling. You know, you you're not a guy who overthinks this. And they're not. And that works better. This is a state that is constantly overthinking everything and over regulating everything. Trust me, I know. I did whole bits about how I took me three years to get the solar turned on. Solar something they want you to have. But now they're taxing you, I think, for having it. They are? I think so. What do you mean you think so? I think I you know there's I don't need to know about solar. You know, I need to focus on making sure the moms are safe and the animals are not being abused. That's that's my party. I know. But if you're the mayor. The solar panels, that's gonna be somebody I'm hiring. That's my deputy mayor. He's gonna worry about the solar panels. No, Spencer, I got bad news. If if you're the mayor, you are going to have to learn some of these issues more Solar panels. We we're about three years from worrying about solar panels. We need to get all the naked drug addicts off of the sidewalks, and then I can worry about solar panels. But we can't we can't walk and chew gum at the same time. The state of LA right now, the solar panels, you're gonna spit that gum out. I love the idea of getting the drug addicts treatment and giving them job opportunities. And if we need more solar panels, personally, I think we gotta investigate the LADWP, why you even need a solar panel? You pay so much money for regular electricity that we got to check why our rates are going up 10% plus every month that we're not getting better electricity. Alkaline water is not coming out of our tap. So I'll get back to you on the solar pan els, but it's a little my totem pole is make sure people don't have home invasions every single night. Right. Make sure you're not losing your whole s suspension because we haven't fixed a road. I'm basic. That's why I'm resonating. Common sense, basic stuff. People that are struggling to live in LA right now because it's so expensive and they're stepping in human poop, they don't care about your problem with the solar panel right now. But they may, once I get rid of the poop and I make it more affordable to live, then they may want solar panels. But like my schedule, I'm gonna do this for eight years. So I we got a lot of time to learn about your issues. Eight years. I'm gonna be married for eight years. Oh I oh I see we're looking ahead. Uh uh once I I'm gonna be the best mayor ever for four years, then they're gonna just be like, please, Spencer, come back for four years. You're a guy who knows his priorities. You know, in a general sense, I don't think you're wrong. And again, lots of people agree. I mean, any time any polity is ruled by one party, it's not good. Not even if you are a Democrat, you have to understand that.' Its not good because you need the check on the other. People do tend to get drunk with power when they have all of it. And then just go way toward one, the the ship just tilts one toward one two s one side too many. And that's what has happened with the state of California. I mean, it's funny because this state, you know, look, I've lived here since 1983. I fucking loved it. I've said it many times. This this city sucked my dick on the first date. It just did. I just fell in love with it right away, grew up on the East Coast, but you know, and uh I get very chauvinistic about it. You know when I hear when I hear people, oh California, you're this and you're that.. Like fuck you You know what? First of all , we are in an industry that you patronize probably more than anything else. Without us, you'd have to talk to your family at night. We make the things you watch . Shut the fuck up, eat your popcorn. You know, we're also an industry, by the way, that never is asking for any help from the government. You know, we make our own money. You know, this we're not like corn farmers, you know, or the uh oil people when they're having a bad year or the auto industry or the whole fucking state of Alaska. We never ask for a dime because we m our product works, uh especially overseas. Yeah, and I would say that's one of the problems with this business is we should have fought for these tax credits, these post-production tax credits. Why is people in England getting uncapped tax credits or Massachusetts? So yes, that's true, but we should have been saying, hey, no, we need these tax credits here. We need the support of the government. We bring the cool to LA. We make people tourism comes to LA because they saw Baywatch or they saw that was the problem. We were so as entertainers, the entertainers we should have been more give us a piece of the of the pie because we I have heard that it's cheaper to shoot LA anywhere but LA. You have to find a city that can double as LA because with the with the taxes and the regulations and the unions and you know uh the extras have to be, you know, whatever it is. They just they just made it and many businesses have left this this state. Do you have a plan for that? I mean all the business. Well, you ready for this? Yeah, I am ready. It goes back to my we have a totem pole now. I didn't pull. But the reason why everyone's leaving. I'm not sure you're supposed to say totem pole anymore. Anything with the India design Even it's when it's a compliment. You know, the brave. How dare you? Uh pyramid. Can't do pyramid maybe. Yeah, that's the Egyptians. Jesus Christ. Don't you have a font? On my chart. So when you start with safety, you make things safe again. Right now, all because now every you know everyone's coming to meet with me because they there's a lot of people believe I'm winning. So the people people that are don't want to meet telling you who they are. Really? Yes. They're all coming to meet with me. And the problem with Are you talking about business leaders? Anybody you would think would never meet with me is now me. Right. The list is mind-boggling. Suddenly the douchebag is the big man. I have no judgment. You didn't like me before, you still don't like me. You want LA to be number one? Let's great. It takes a douchebag to kill a milk veg. That is what I saying. And there you go. There it is. There it is. There it is. And it's the bureaucracy of this city that does not want to put the let these people put their money in here and they don't want to invest in LA because we allow the naked drug addicts in front of the hotels. Wait, you keep saying that. You gotta realize are they really naked? But naked. I will if you give me your phone number, I will send you a thousand naked drug addict videos a week. I don't have to think about that one , no. No, I do not want to my phone I can't do. You're sending me naked pictures. I can't even look at my phone anymore because the whole city sends me their naked drug addict content. Again, I'm I don't mean to be the campaign manager , but just don't offer to send naked pictures to anybody. At least until the campaign is over. Then send all the naked pictures you want. Eric Swalwell came to me once. No, I'm kidding. Um So if you make the streets safe and clean again and you welcome investment. So these let's say this group of very successful people that want to invest in downtown LA. They offer to buy up 40 blocks, put affordable housing, mid-level housing, nice, and they come to Mayor Bass with this deck that now I've been presented. Mayor Bass says, Oh, well, you can put all the homeless people in these buildings. No, we want to put the working people in the city of LA. Oh no, we're not gonna do that. The homeless drug addict people do not need beds. They need treatment. Mandatory treatment. You cannot any I have grown up in LA. I know about addicts. I know about addiction. You cannot give a drug addict a bed and say, here's this bed. You can offer them any bed in the city. They don't want a bed. They want a new high. They want some new fentanyl. They want some new supermeth. We need to get these people help to get them sober, then we get them the beds and the sheltering and the community and the rehab. But this program that's cost 24 billion of our tax money has increased homeless. So that's how I win because I say, hey everybody, this isn't working. We all know it and we're paying for the destruction of our own city, but they can't say it because they won't get re-elected because they're deep in this failure. They would be better off to just say, hey, this didn't work. We're gonna pivot. We we tried this one, but we have a new plan, but they can't. My opponents will say, we need more beds. We need more beds. These beds cost a hundred thousand dollars a bed. So So I I've said this before and I I feel like conventional wisdom answer to it that I get is that it it's f for this reason unfeasible, for this reason unfeasible, blah, blah, blah. Tell me why, as someone who's running and is going to inherit this problem for eight years, uh tell me why it's not feasible to this is the the for the homeless uh answer to be one , you can't stay on the streets. I'm sorry you just can't. Because the streets are public and the people need that and it's just for a million reasons, it's disease and it's just not right. You we just c it's just not your right. This is this is not a alternative home uh lifestyle, homelessness, okay, which is how the woke have turned it into. Um, like I always say, old school liberals, we thought the compassionate thing was to get them off the street, not to enable them to stay on the street, like they're an endangered species in their natural habitat. It's fucking ridiculous. Okay, so that's A, you can't stay on the street. B, why can't there be barracks, for lack of a better word? But yes, barracks. And they say, well, it's unsafe in there. Hey, how much would it cost to hire a security guard for literally every row of the barracks? Is that gonna cost $24 billion ? I know some guys will do it for like $28 an hour, you know? Just make it safe. Why is that so impossible to make a homeless shelter safe. Because you have to put people somewhere where the doctors can come in, or the specialists, whoever's gonna wean them off the drugs. You're right, treatment. But we can't treat them on the street, and we don't want to give them hotel rooms , that's crazy. You have to go to a place, a humane place. This is not some sort of Nazi program. You're off the street, you have a roof over your heads, we will make it safe, feed you, get you back on your feet. We can watch you and make sure you don't do you there's no drugs getting in here. Again, this is something that's impossible in prisons, impossible to stop. I bet they could do it in Saudi Arabia, because they'd cut your hands off if you did it. Not that I'm suggesting that, but you could. So you just described, which I know you have not watched, my eight-minute video describing exactly my plan. You go to the federal government, you say there's so much beautiful nature with these trees. You take a big piece of land. Right now Mayor Bass will say there's only 42,000 people living on the street. The RAN Corporation will say it's 30% higher. Let's say it's 70,000 people. Right now it's cheaper to literally build an entire facility. They'll go, it's a concentration . No, they have insane, cheaper, prefabricated homes that actually look like houses with little fence. You could build enough of these. You could build miles of these. You put the facilities with the medical people. Some people are veterans. That's their corner of this beautiful place. Where the of course the media is gonna come watch and try to be like Spencer's doing this. Come look. They can be riding around in golf carts. They can be eating airwan there. There's we have enough money to have combo plates o for home no that's how much we spend. Don't no I'm just saying so far. My point is we spend that much money to have them live in their species and doubt that we can have them living up like kings and there we get them sober, we give them how we teach them how to clear the milk vets. They come back and they're gonna they're gonna do fire breaks for the fire department. We're gonna teach them how to help come clean the trash so they can work with sanitation. We need to get people off the street, get them sober, and give them the opportunity, then have a job. Ready for the best part? 60% of the people in Los Angeles that are experiencing homelessness. They're ready. No, they're not from California. They've been brought here by NGOs that profit off of this homeless industrial complex. Medicaid. Wait, wait, wait. They've been brought here? They've been brought here. Who did that? Body brokers bring these people here from where? All across the country. If you're an addict, you can come to LA and ex get these rehabs and because you're Medicaid, you have a social situation. It's also if you're gonna be uh shall we say outdoors your whole life. It's better to be here than in Minneapolis. One hundred percent. So a lot of things. You think this is a big there's a big part where this is like I talk to these people who are now sober, offent That's uh Tim Waltz. He never stops being an evil. So a fucker. Sending the fucking people. I don't know what state they're from exactly, but they're not from LA. So again, whether they go to this amazing facility that we have that house all these res ources for treatment, not let you die in your feces on fentanyl. But you may want to go back to Oklahoma and we help facilitate getting you now that you're sober, you probably have a mom, you probably have a because if you don't I was in South Central the other day, this mom came up to me crying. She goes, my daughter's not homeless. I hate when people say that. She has a home. My fa our family loves her, but she's addicted to meth right now on Skid Row. She needs help to get off the mess so she can come home. There's a lot of these people that if you get off the drugs, they have a place to be able to go back to Oklahoma. Maybe it's not Oklahoma, but Georgia. Hers was South Central. You know what? Remember the song Midnight Train to Georgia? He's leaving. They're just not. On that midnight train to Georgia. You know why he came out here to be a big star? Didn't work out. But Gladys Knight is sticking by him. But he's leaving. I don't know about that train, but rather be with him than to live here in LA, she says. LA's amazing if you uh It is amazing. It is and that's I'm fighting because I love this place so much. I only wanted to be famous again, let's rewind because when I grew up, being famous in LA was the greatest thing you could do in the world. The restaurants, the red carpets, the club, all that's gone. Anyone I know that obviously doesn't say they know me. The clubs are gone. The restaurants are closing a hundred at a time a year. There's fifty percent less clubs. I mean I was with last night with one of the biggest club promoters at the Dodger game since we were in twenty years old. He's been in the game. I know the club game uh is my douchebag expertise. This is the night light. Let me tell you something. It's struggling. Let me tell you something, pal. When I was in the club and I mean the club, that's I would say those were my douchebag years. Because if you're in the club, you are probably engaging in douchey behavior. It's just a douchey place. I look ed at I'll never hate on the club. I met my wife in the club. So you can you can have luck. Oh, I we met on the dance floor in the club. I met a lot of good times in the club. I'm not saying you shouldn't be in the club. You can find your wife in the club. You you find your wealth in the c at Privilege, Club Privilege, on the dance floor. Club Privilege, where was that one? On sunset. What year is this ? Two thousand seven? Two thousand six? Okay. I was probably out of the clubs by then. Not by a This is my lunch and dinner. Thank you very much. Oh, good. Well, I'm having a good time. I hope you are too. I and when your producer sat me down, he's like, here's your filtered water we poured for you. Here's your favorite organic tequila. I was like, where am I? This is the best podcast ever done. It is. Thank you. But uh yeah, no, I mean that's the other thing I know about you is your wife. Is and and at one time I mean uh look, I hate to put it this way, but what I remember about this story was huge tits. She's had threes they are now regular seven. But they were at one point. At one time. Okay. So what happened there? I think when you go, when you I've witnessed it as firsthand, when you're talking to a plastic surgeon , their version of minor, like, oh, this is a my they use the word minor . I don't think how chat GPT or Claude would say minor is. So I think that was the mis the disconnect with the word minor. Why are we using words like minor in a medical situation? Don't we use words like centimeter? Shouldn't be using I've learned from b witnessing being around plastic surgery is there's no such thing as a minor surgery. And that's that's a like life lesson I can pass on. If you're going to a plastic surgeon who's using vague flowery words like that, this is a quack . I mean, even bras have sizes. A cup, B cup, C cup, D cup, right? I mean, if they if they can do it with bras, this guy is more vague than a bras. R I P. He passed away. I if I was getting my tits done, I would know exactly how what they were going to look like and and how big they would be. Yeah, I was gonna say, I am sure we can get you a good deal. I respectfully wouldn't comment or believe me. So I just tell you. Your algorithm is unique. No, but my history of you is like 2007 douchebag, and then uh years of nothing. You're kind of like Jesus. We know about his birth, and then suddenly he's on his ministry. We know nothing about his teenage years. I think he was a very awkward teenager, bad sk in, that Jufro he had. Jesus. I used to get a lot of facials, I had to say that. Probably bad at sports. But uh yeah, but we that whole swath of time disappears. What happened between like when the show went off and the mayor will run ? How long is this podcast? So my most successful thing of my career is I started the number one crystal business online and I was making a quarter million a month selling beautiful gemstones. Really? And then the pandemic hit. Uh-huh. And I was no longer an essential business and had to close up my t eighteen employee, you know, is it was a life changing thing 'cause this was this was it for my family. So that pandemics are so rough on crystals. You know what I mean? It's just like it's the first thing to go. What you know, you know. I had to I try to fight it, say th this are medicinal for some people. No, but aren't they? Don't people There's people that definitely believe bigger. But you don't? You were just selling it for aesthetic. I was just saying the the protection energy I thought they had. I had a lot of black tourmaline by the front door. I had the tiger's eye. So the fact they all went up, I said peace didn't To protect from a fire of that sort of thing. Did you say thousands of things ? Tiger's eyes are protection energy. Is there a specific thing that it does? Protection energy. But just protection. But others do other things like Yeah, of course like Kunzai, which is one of my favorite crystals. Kunze. I'm not saying it. Okay. K-U-N- K-U-N-Z-T-I- T. You can spell it any way you want. I am not spending any political capital. It's for your heart shock, right? Oh, I'm sure it is. Oh, I'm sure it is. It'll open up Twitter is what it'll open up. That's that's my what does it do for you? It opens your heart chakra. Again, this is what they say. Okay, but you're selling them. You don't sell them. No, I don't sell 'em with the I let 's also people that love them because they're rare earth minerals. So the same person that loves a fossil and loves stones because like my collection would have been in a museum when I died, it would have said the Pratt family at the Natural History History Museum. That's the type of c collection I 've d do you um just keep them near you or do you put them up your ass? There's definitely people that put them up their behinds, that's a thing for sure. We're not saying ass. No, I just want this gravity. I just you know, I don't buy algorithm and if I say that we won't we'll get you know that's it won't hit the the feed. That's the smartest thing you said. No, that you're so right. It's true. Always look ahead to what those assholes in the media will cover because they never cover the right things. They are just so craven. And they what's worse is they know better. They very often know what's important, and sometimes they don't because they're also stupid. So they're going to cover the stupidest, lowest fucking thing to get the most amount of clicks. So you're very wise to do that, to go, no, I'm not gonna give you that. And and give them enough. You give them enough. I give them enough. Right. But I also I'm not gonna give them a lot tonight. But I'm in trouble every night. I don't know. I mean I don't think so. You're sitting with the I'm gonna be the mayor in seven days. You can't win the election, isn't it? It's done. Well, I think we're dropping this right before. So they'll have get to see this. It'll be like your final This is it. Yeah, you know. Yeah. You know, that's the one that matters. Trump in 2016 spent nothing. Hillary outspent them by a zillion. And the day before the election, because he knows people don't pay attention until the day before, they do it like Christmas shopping. You know, the Christmas Eve they're out in the store with the last minute shit. And uh he just dropped that hour special. It was like a, you know, an hour-long ad. And it was all about how they, you know, it was his spiel. It was his original spiel and it fucking worked. Especially in places where people were feeling, you know, the economy was not working for them. And, you know, it was all the it's i it's so ironic now since he's it was led the biggest grifter kind of administration ever. But, you know, it was all about how the Wall Street types and who and they are backers of Hillary and the Democrats, you know, how they've taken advantage, and they have, but you know, that's also capitalism. I mean, we we don't want to go to um , you know, the I mean, socialism to a a degree that I would say is very close to communism. I'm talking about Mandami . I'm talking about I think the the mayor in Seattle maybe now. One of my opponents. And one of your opponents. Yes. Exactly. Um and again, I'm not look, communism is a form of government. You're allowed to back it, you're allowed to be it, you're allowed to vote for it. Let's just pretend that, one, we haven't tried it a lot around the world and it's a disaster. And two, that if you are, you know, for like seizing personal property and certain other things that Mandami or his very close lieutenants have said outright, you know, home ownership is racist. If you are believing these radical things, yes, you are communist. So what is the status? That's interesting. So it's a three-person race. Well, not anymore. After the debate, the one lady, the commun ist socialist she went from six or n uh councilman ramen. She went from six from sixty-four percent on Calci to eight percent. So she got bombed. She's done. Is that in f after one debate? With me, yeah. But she wasn't at sixty-four percent. She wasn't leading. She was. She was leading Karen Bass? Yes. So that's Really? This you can Oh I check this the Yes. I don't remember seeing that. Yeah. Well Calci's again, that's not a poll. And there's no polls. Again, let me let's talk about polls for a second. Cause I'm technically twenty-two percent in the poll they just put out and bass is twenty-five percent. The people that are voting for me, they're not picking up a spam call and they're not talking to a stranger coming up to them. Right. Can I talk? They're running from these people. Absolutely. So So true. So I don't even go off of that. But again, with Couchy, I didn't even know respectfully what these betting apps were until I'm in this race. I'm like, why are they always tagging me in this? The normal, excuse me, the average person doesn't have enough money to be betting on every single Well I don't know about that. There's an awful lot of crazy I mean I've never gambled. Well it's a huge issue. Polymarket and my point is my voters aren't gambling because they are trying to stay they're trying to pay their bills bills. Exactly. And some of their are some of them are behind in their bills precisely because they're on DraftKings. You don't think that that's a thing? That is a thing. I'm telling you again, I'm getting elected with moms though. I don't think moms are on these. Moms, no. Okay. No, it's douchebag guys. Hopefully I can appeal to you. I was gonna say, well, I just found a new section of my Your Core Audience. Cheers, I guess I have more voters than I realized. I I totally forgot. I mean you must own the bros. First of all, the the bros are Republican. Well here's what's happened. Socialism has captivated people because everyone has this is my yeah. This is my thought. Sure. I feel like people are all hyped on socialism because they're like everything's so expensive, America's failed, give me money. But what they're forgetting is all the people that these socialists are saying they're taking the money and giving it, they're gonna leave, and then they're not gonna have any money to take from these people to give to you. I keep telling people the way we get you money is stopping the socialism, letting that successful rich people build businesses, build restaurants, put money into your pocket because there's more jobs, there's more opportunity. That's how we actually get you more money. To lie to you and tell you, we're gonna tax these rich people. We already taxed so much in LA, in California, I can't even comprehend tax you more. What's happening is we tax these people and then other rich people, this champagne socialists, scammers, steal that money because they're all connected to the people taxing them. And then the people that should see the money, the communities, the after the boys and girls clubs, the parks, the the actual infrastructure doesn't see that money because different rich people stole the money that was being taxed from the rich people. So I actually feel like Robin Hood, because I'm coming in and I'm gonna say, where's all this money? We're done with everyone stealing the tax money. We're gonna actually put it to the people that have turned us socialism because they say America doesn't work. It doesn't And you know, I mean, look, I mean you're not the first guy to say these kind of things. It's all who can actually do it. Who can stand up to what is going to come up against you when you actually try to implement But really, I mean this . Okay. Yeah, I am the one. I hate people so much. I know. When you said don't be so personal, I it's personal for me. the douchebag because like you're if you're already hated, then you don't have to because trust me, what you're going to go up against is a state that is just full of special interests, all of which are very, very powerful. I mean you it you can't do anything in this state without like getting a license or an inspection. I bitched about this many times. I wanted to change my garage door. It was built as a three and it really is only for two. I'm a humble man. It's not a three-car garage. You ever built that wanted to big themselves up and tell some chick I got a three? You don't. You have a two-car garage, and that's fine. I have one car. I'm a simple man. One car, one house, one plane. Simple person. No. So just to get my garage door changed took three inspections. First of all, why are you inspecting it all I'll handle it. I'm a homeowner. I'm an adult. I don't need you looking over my shoulder because I'm changing a garage door or throwing a frisbee or braiding hair or anything else they want to get their beak wet try charging a fee for a license or some bullshit. This state is all these fucking pigs at the trough . Let me give you a perfect example. My house burns down. Back to your my favorite thing. Ready? No, watch, watch, no, watch. I'm gonna fucking burn down the next one if you don't shut up about the fucking house. Watch, watch this, ready? Oh boom, your house burned down. Look at this. You know, but your campaign is fire. Let me good night everybody. So look at this. They are in court telling me they had no legal responsibility to make sure my house doesn't burn down. Who said who said the city? The city. So but yet the city, if I want to rebuild right now with my California Fair Plan one million dollars I got they want to put a million two in the caissons into the dirt because now to be up to the zone for the hill I live in these caissons weren't there. What are caissons? That go into the bedrock. What this house was 60 years old. I didn't . What's a caisson? They're like circular things that go into the ground deep down to like hold the house together. Cause now they care. Well they, sound important . They c well they sound they didn't care that my house burned down and they don't and they say, so now they've changed the zoning that I need a million to and things to go down the dirt that weren't there for sixty years. But was your house in a place because a lot of houses in in LA are in places that are precarious because I mean that's probably why the caisson is down there because they weren't there. Now they want 'em? No, but because the Oh the the Casins They were never there. For sixty years this house was there. And they were supposed to be? No. This is the new thing. So like you're saying with your three people coming showing up. It's just more money, more money. How can we tag? How can we build more? How can we have more red tape? Yes. How can we stop building? No, it's That's why these Yimbi people, I keep telling them, I'm gonna be the savior of the Yimbi people. Do you know what a Yimbi is? Not in my backyard. No, no, that's a NIMBY. Oh, what's a Yimbi? Yimbi, yes in my backyard. Yes in my backyard. So these people think I I'm anti them because I stopped, I tried to stop the Yimbi people from putting. You're not anti them, you're pro them. That's your building. Don't you think that's what I get there's a confusion. I want to build all across LA in all the space we have. I don't want it to be in a street where you can't put a seven-story building because if everyone needs to evacuate, there's no parking. They think everyone rides bikes. People don't not everybody rides bikes. I wish this sounds like a wizard of Oz. We all ride bikes. No, we don't. People have cars and there's no parking now. So we need to find where you can put these beautiful buildings, art deco buildings. I'm gonna work with some incredible architects all across the city, but not next to the single family house. So I'm all about building it cutting red tape and stopping the bureaucracy. But they think because I didn't want a seven story cement building on a street that you can't even park on in a high fire severity zone. And I was like, no, we can't do that here. Like, oh he's a nimby. I'm like, no, I let's build. We need things to be more affordable. We need more housing. But it needs to be where all the naked drug addicts are that we're gonna move and put to beautiful nature with the Erwan combo plates. Stop talking about the naked drug addicts, naked pictures, naked drug addicts. They're all naked. They are all naked. I have to tell the truth. Really? They are all naked . How do you know this? I'm gonna say you said you don't want the video. I don't know. They're coming your way. I'm asking. They're coming your way. Tell me verbally. Verbally, for some reason, when you're on supermeth and fentanyl, you end up naked. Oh. And these people are on that and they are butt naked in the middle of the street, in front of schools, in front of parks. No, it's it's not made up. No, no, no. I'm done. And look, it's gonna get me elected because I'm saying the truth. Right. And you you you absolutely do not sound like someone who has been uh massaged in the least by consultants, campaign manager. I don't have one consultant or a campaign manager. Keep it that way. 100%. I'm telling you, you either you should either live or die with exactly what you're doing. Facts. The thing about the bikes, I love it. Keep that in. No, but again, we'll make bike lanes in downtown where the zombies were. They're gonna have bike. I say we're gonna build bike lanes in the sky. No. Like Dubai, they're gonna go through tubes. It's just you know it's just a great metaphor for one of the liberals bad qualities, which is like they imagine what the world should be and then just pronounce that it is. Like, no, we're not there. And you you just can't you just can't decree. My favorite other thing that the people love to attack me like, he's never been on a metro or the tra in. Everybody that sends me videos of the drug addicts in the fentanyl pooping on the on the metro . I'm gonna make people actually want to use public transportation because I'm gonna make it safe and I'm gonna take the human poop off of it. So they're gonna love me. These people that think that they don't love me, give me a couple years. You're gonna be wearing shirts with my face on it like Yimby Spencer. He f he loves transportation. Nobody's gonna go on the transportation if you have drug addicts that are doing drugs, pooping on the seats, attacking the nice old ladies. We need to make it safe and clean. This is a society. This is not breaking news . You have to have a safe, clean society to have functioning transportation, to build, to put money. We have lost the plot so crazy. And again, let's rewind. The only reason I'm even in this running is because these people failed me. If they had been Republicans, if Newsom was Republican, I would have gone against Newsome. If Mayor Bass was a Republican, I would go I didn't say, oh I'm going after them because they are part of the Democratic Party. No, they failed me as a tax paying citizen. That's it. I don't go I will smoke you if you're a Republican and you burn my mom's house down. Right. Like again with the house burning. Okay. It's this the real you know telling me. It's very real for these old ladies that cry in my arms. one of our other many fires and uh I'd never talked to somebody about and he said it's so interesting well interesting charitable word but he had a good attitude about it. He said, you know, uh I don't even have any clothes. I have nothing to wear. So you never think about that. All his clothes were in the house. The house burned down. And it's like suddenly you're like, okay, we're better off than a lot of people. We're not in a FEMA camp. We're rich enough to stay at a hotel, but yeah, I have no clothes now. Like uh and you can imagine So when I first started running for mayor, I would go to meetings and I'm wearing my wife's merch as a shirt and people would say big tits or smaller tits? They're lovely. No, I'm kidding. They're lovely. They're beautiful size. I'm very blessed. I've been married. So I'm wearing her shirt and I'm in all I have is these shirts. That's all I had. And people go, you gotta dress in suits. I said, I had suits, they all burned down. Yeah. People can't come . I don't have a photo of my entire life before an iPhone maybe five when i iPhone six, cause my parents house all so burned down. There's not a single thing from my life , period. So that like this idea that when people go, oh, he's that guy from the reality show. I referenced the fire because the guy from post-January 7th has nothing to do with the guy trying to be famous, being the famous douchebag, to get checks, to get clickbait. That's a different human being. But they don't connect. By the way, the reality show guy thing, that is a complete non-issue. We are so far past that. Trump is twice elected president. He was uh a game show host and a businessman, and Reagan was a bad actor. And you know, we are so far past where the public gives a shit if you went to Harvard. In fact, they'd probably more likely hold it against you. And they're kind of right. I mean, my opponent went to Harvard and she can't even talk in a debate. Harvard and MIT. She can't hold it I mean I'm not shading the universities. Oh I but I it doesn't mean you can run anything. Oh I'd be happy. No, some great people have come out of Harvard , but it's also an asshole factory. The kids are chanting for Hamas . We don't have to get into that issue, but like this is a issue. I'll I will go here because I grew up in LA. All my best friends are Jewish. I grew up going to crossroads. I've been to more bar and bought mitzvahs than I'd been to church till I was maybe still tied to the point where of course when I'm running for mayor, I'm going to temples, I'm supporting my Jewish friends. The level of psycho Nazi lunacy that came at me to just say that I want my friends and family to feel safe in LA, to feel safe if their kids go to UCLA. I had to see if the only thing that came out of this whole experience, there's a lot of things, if I God forbid, not or God's plan I don't win, to see what people experience right now just because of their religion is is diabolical. And again, I don't care if you're Muslim. I don't care what. I don't care how you identify. I don't care if you're trans. I don't care whatever you do. But you should have the right to do that and feel safe. Right. Wherever you are. Whether it's going to school, going to your poppin' trans bar, whatever it is, you should feel safe and not feel in danger. And that's my back's my common sense . Right. And again, this is a California conservative. You're not some fire breather from the church of blah blah in Kansas who's saying like trans is not in the Bible. We're Californians, even when we're conservat ive, Arnold Schwarzenegger, you know, we're not they're not cra and I'm not a Republican for sure, but they're not crazy people. In fact, the most popular people in this country, political-wise, you know who they are? Republic an governors of blue states. Because it's a blue state, so the people bend liberal, but they don't want the craziness that this state has in its one-party rule. So, you know , Larry Hogan in Maryland, uh I think the dude in Boston for a while, in uh Massachusetts for a while, like you elect a Republican governor, they can't be like fire-breathing conservatives, but they have to be practical and smart and be cool again with trans and gay and all these social issues that most of America is over now. Most of America isn't racist. There's polling on this. They're cool with interracial marriage. They want to live in mixed neighborhoods. Of course there's assholes out there still, and there will be forever. But you know, just I always say, let's live in the year we're living in. And in that year, like the old way here is not working. You know, look at our numbers. This the I mean this is your speech you should be making, not mine. But you know, the numbers are not good. Facts don't lie. We we spend a lot more trying to educate a kid in this sa in this state and do worse than places that spend way less. And part of that is because the teachers union is so strong. Are you are you there's a great question for you, Mr. Candid. Are you strong enough to buck the unions? Because so thankfully this is the biggest thing that I go against because, you know, my opponent, Mayor Bass, says every single union endorses her and they go, how are you gonna win with the unions? Every person that comes in them up to me in the streets, they're connected to some union and they say, we all love you, but it's the leadership, political powers, whether it's the police department, the fire department, the any union, the the longshoremen. I was in San Pedro uh this weekend with the longshoremen, these people all support my message. The union leadership never reflects actually what the people who have kids and the community they don't connect. That's the backroom dealing that as mayor, I will do whatever I can to make sure the membership because with the disconnect from the membership to then the politicians because even the people in the unions, they're politicians. Even the police department that's at the higher , politician. The chief of the fire department, politician. The people below him, politicians. We need the people that are actually the ones in the on the ground level to get their say connecting to what the mayor or the city council . That's the disconnect. People think these unions reflect with the leadership. I'm talking to the members. They're all voting for me. They don't agree with the the little backroom dealing. The little they want the same things as the rest of Los Angeles, the Angel inos one. Even though it's that small percentage, they're still moms, husbands, hardworking, people paying their taxes, having to go to these same parks, go to the street. So as mayor, I'm not anti-union, but I'm gonna make sure the union leadership actually connects to the people that are in the unions. Not this, you know, we're just being scammed. We're being scammed across the board. You had me at hello. But you have the exact right um impatience with this shit. It's very authentic. Your impatience with it and y you know, i you're just it's good. Just keep doing what you're doing. We'll see where the where the chips fall. Um, I know you gotta run to another meeting. You you your schedule must be crazy these days. It is a blessing. But you must like love it, right? I got in this. I mean I got in this. On a personal level, everywhere you go, it's like, ooh, we love you because it''s as rug. There a lot of middle fingers. There's crazy people. There is? Oh, there's but why are you where are you going now? You're going to the. I mean, just every now and then, like I was in Korea town, even though she wasn't Korean, she was Filipino.
