Spencer Pratt on Fixing LA: Wildfires, Homelessness, Corruption & the Fight to Take It Back

performance the other night. I have so many friends that were texting and people obviously were tweeting about it. Let's start with that. How are you feeling after the debate? I just wish it had been like two hours or three hours because the list of their failures that we didn't even get to touch on. It's unbelievable. So I was the most fun I've had in years because what people don't realize is their pathological

“desires. So when somebody gets to be on the stage with only facts in the truth, that's why there's”

this incredible response. So because everybody though is watches these lying politicians,

they know they're lying and nobody gets to yell they're lying. But it was very hard to be respectful because all the lovely Democrat moms that love me that want us to keep supporting me, they ask me to please stay calm, cool and collected. So the whole time I was doing my best behavior to not interrupt the lying, which if I hadn't been tasked with that mission, I would have been like it was hard to hire. I'm doing all of you. Every few years a new ad channel opens before the

market catches on. That's axon.au right now. The AI ad platform behind one of the biggest runs in tech with access to over a billion daily active users. Full screen video ads in mobile games watched for a median of 35 seconds. Businesses are profitably spending hundreds of thousands of

“dollars a day on it and most advertisers don't even know it exists yet. The window is open at axon.au”

slash all in. A lot of people said they weren't expecting such a great performance like you were so well prepped, so well versed on a lot of the facts on the actions you were going to take. How did you get ready for the debate? Did you do work to get after this? Well thankfully, people argue with me all day long in every single media hit that I've done for months because they don't want me to get into the machine. So every interview I do, unlike these politicians,

it's opposition. It's arguing, arguing, arguing, arguing. When these bearbass or counseling ramen talk to the media, they can is lie and then the media people go, "Oh, thank you. Thank you bearbass. If I say anything, I got to have who was there? What they were wearing? What they have for breakfast? I have to have my information so fact-based and be bulletproof to beat

“this machine that it's debate. All I do is debate people all day long. You're held to a higher”

stack. Exactly. That challenge all day. And all I live in is facts and the truth. And so I called my lawyer who's representing me in the case against the city and the state and LHGWP, one of the most famous lawyers in the world, I said, "Peter, how do you stay so calm when you're arguing with

these liars?" And he said, "Spencer, I always have the truth." I was like, "Ooh, I was like, okay,

I got that." Good strategy. That was a great message I took into that. Can we for people that don't know your story and I want to just give you a couple minutes to tell it, let's go back to the fires. Where were you and where was your family, your wife, your kids, what were you guys when these fires kicked off and how did you end up evacuating and what was that evening like? Well, let's even rewind before the fires. It just shows you that our emergency

situation is not the level it needs to be because I didn't even know that there was this crazy wind weather event. My son had had pneumonia so I was up every night checking his temperature. And I'm on my phone a lot. I'm a phone person. And I didn't even know this was an extra dangerous dry weather. So that just shows you, if you rewind, we weren't even informed at the level. Clearly we should have been. So the morning of January 7th, I was doing my normal routine,

making my espresso about to dance to Taylor Swift. Look what you made me do on Snapchat, which I've done since the reputation album dropped. And also, and I see our nanny running down the street. She comes in with our two-year-old at the time. She's like, "The workers of the street

said there's a fire on the hill." Again, this is not crazy, like Mayor Bass X, like we never knew,

but we're well aware fires happen. They're just been the getty fire that everyone ran out of their house. I grew up in LA. I've been through the fires. They've been going on for 30 years. So three weeks before, all my friends fought a fire in Malibu. So I was even planning on starting my own fire brigade, like my friends had. I was talking to Heidi. We need to get a hose. We need to get a truck. And so I was well aware of fires. No matter what anybody says, this is in a shock. We also know about

Santa Anna Wins. So I run up the hill where we hike every day for the last nine years. And I see the smoke coming from like the Highlands area, which is where Lockman, which we now know, the fire was really from seven days earlier, and it had been smoldering for a week. And I see the smoke based on my wife. I was like, "Yeah, maybe pack. Go down to my parents' house just to be safe, 'cause my parents live in the palaces. I grew up in the palaces. It's the opposite side of where

You would think that'd be safe. So she loads up, just diapers, kids clothes, and goes to my mom's house. I stay up there, you know, face timing, every local. What's going on? Very confident, because I assume I've been paying. I don't have any money, because all my money goes to taxes. So I assume all these tax money is firefighters are coming. Got to go and film them. He's going somewhere. You know, I was very naive. And I also live next door again in the debate when Mayor Bass was like,

he's lying or that's not true. There's only one reservoir that was empty. Mam, Mayor Bass. I live next to the one you don't know existed. The palaces reservoir. Five million gallons, next door to my house, that the fire department would do almost not weekly, but bi-weekly drills. They would connect up there. They would make me move cars if they needed to to bring the

hoses. I was always saying, oh, my, well, this is annoying, but gosh, we're set. They have a thing where

the helicopter could dip in there, not the sanny and as reservoir that she was referencing, that she lied about and said it was for drinking water, which, obviously, if you Google L.A.

“Times will show you when it was made. It was for wildfire protection. That's why it has”

cisterns. That's why it has helicopter dip sites because it's for wildfire. So I was very confident. I have a video of myself filming, can't wait till the helicopters get here, uh, not realizing that they drain that genie's quinion as the L.A. D. W. Drain that reservoir in June of 2024. I must have been out at Airwon when they were emptying it or whatever. So I was very confident in 2025 in Pacific Palaces. There's pays probably almost, what a quarter of the taxes for the whole

city. I would guess at this point, they are not letting the entire town burn to the ground. So I didn't pack anything. I didn't, you know, prepare for a house to burn down. I call the fire department directly because I have their numbers. I say, hey, we're to see one truck up here because, you know, if the fire comes around, there's just this one place of dead brush and if you put a water on it, you know, won't come and hit all these houses. And I said, we have no assets available,

like, whoa, that's scary. So then my dad comes up, you know, and we got the hose and he's hosing a hillside and finally, I'm like, Dad, let's get out of here, you know, firefighters are probably coming. So under wife and kids are gone at this point, they're at my dad's house, which ends up now the fires come from to Mescal Canyon and it's crossed over. So my older sister

“calls, like, what are your kids doing there? They better get out of there. Like, what is happening?”

So now I'm, you know, what, this is insane. It's like a bad movie. And I never heard any

sirens. People like real locals will tell you if you talk to me, there was no sirens. Yeah, all that's from a lot of friends in the past. So that was the, if I had heard sirens, I would have started packing things, maybe stayed. But you don't feel scared. If you don't hear sirens, there's no sheriff's or LAPD or any emergency vehicles coming up on the street, you know, everybody, you know, like in a movie, there was no movie stuff. And, you know, so you're

always think everything's like a movie, but nothing was like a movie. So then I, I stayed tell the fire, comes down the hill at five, six o'clock at night again, when she was talking about this wind, Mayor Bass, I'm standing at the top of the palisades. I connect to the state park. There was no scary winds. It did not go past 40 miles per hour. And it's now been, you know, even CBS did a great debunk post yesterday CBS news with a journalist that was up there that I was

correct. And I wasn't lying in the debate. And there were planes flying. It was windy, but it wasn't. So I talked to the chief Bobby Garcia at the US Forest Service about what he thought went sideways the day of, you know, we don't know because the after action report has been edited multiple times by Mayor Bass, which she denies, but the L.A. Times stands by their reporting. And he said the initial fire wasn't made skinny. You're supposed to attack the fire on both sides. And that did not happen

because ready for this. You know, Mayor Bass brought up like, "Oh, there was no planes. No Mayor Bass,

you never called in fixed air wing support. She never did. You know why?" She was in Africa.

She was in Africa. And you know who is supposed to do it? Or Deputy Mayor, but he was on house arrest. So L.A. City never even called in fixed air wing support to drop water. Thankfully,

“L.A. County calfire showed up and the US Forest Service, but that's how out of the loop,”

Mayor Bass was on. So when did you find out your health was gone? I watched it burn on my first on my security cameras. I watched my son's bed burn in the shape of a heart, which is the most spiritual crazy like shape of a heart coming through the bottom of his bed. And then I watched each room until you're watching on the cameras. On my phone and gridlock traffic on like where the

thank God as I'm watching it, I can't reach my dad who I'm thinking he's dying trying to save his

“house on the bluffs. And I'm calling 911. I've been trying to get these audio calls to just”

post the level and they say they don't have them. But I'm calling 911 to find out with my dad is okay if you trip. So even though I'm watching my house burn now, I can't reach my dad. So that's taking away the material connection. I'm like my dad cared more to me than my house burning. So I get on 911 like what's that just like oh no emergency personnel can go there. My dad lives on the bluffs. There's like, do you're like losing your mind of that? There's 12 ways to get to my

parents house. So this idea that there's no emergency personnel and I'm telling them my dad could

be burning up. So these 12 people that did burn alive, I know firsthand if one of their family

members or relatives or neighbors was calling 911. They were told no emergency personnel can go help them. So thank God my dad obviously lived and he got out and I was like, Dad, could you get

“out? He said, yeah, it's a drove all you could drive anywhere. So they didn't even brutal.”

So in the aftermath, this hit to you, must have followed you, wrecked you. How was the next couple of weeks kind of trying to put everything back together? And at what point were you like, man, I'm going to try and figure this out. Like, was it a immediate call to action for you or was there a period of time there or you were trying to put everything together? So my wife and I when we were very successful in 2009, we spent millions of dollars on her pop music album with all the most

famous music producers and writers in the world. But it was a we didn't have the money to promote it. It's just nobody ever heard it. But we did that. The 15 year anniversary of that album happened to be January 10th. The house burned down January 7th. So when I have zero money now because everything I ever put into was in this house for my sons. All everything I owned was in the house. Oh my God, we have no money. We're done. I'm getting emails because January 10th is this

anniversary date 15 years of our album. So I go on TikTok live and I say, anybody please, you know, I've no money right now. We're house just burned down. Please stream my wife's album, buy it.

“And thank God for the planet earth getting behind me. I think maybe 12 countries put it number one.”

Everyone's streamed it. It was the first time an album from 15 years went to number one on

Billboard charts. So that was taking me out of the the dark. The drama because I'm focusing on right away pivoting into like we're going to rebuild and I was naive to think streaming music. You could get a house back. You know, thank God. I didn't make like $150,000. But this was 2006. We would have made millions of dollars. So it took my mind off. Obviously my wife is trying to get our kids in a new schools. She's not even connecting to this. This is so positive. Honey,

everyone was supporting you. So when that wears down I realized, oh my God, this was not enough money to build anything. We were stuck with California fair plan because we were dropped by farmers after paying for eight years. And we have no money to rebuild. And I start questioning like, why did our house pair now? It shouldn't have been around. And I call up my friends. Like, just was that a groom's men in his wedding and his dad had just fought Edison in the campfire.

I'm pretty sure his campfire paradise and he beat Edison. So I call him. I was like, can you represent me? I want to sue the city. I want to sue the state. I want to sue LADD. So you're a fighter. You go after him. I'm just done case case math for a little bit 5,000 homes burned 7,000. 7,000 structures. Yeah, 7,000 homes. Whatever it is, why are you the guy that comes out of the fire and says, I'm going to fight and I'm going to do something about it and I'm going to change it.

Well, thankfully I had this experience of already being like a hated media personality. When you put yourself out there, especially when you're fighting machines like Gavin Newsom and his social team and they're calling you a conspiracy theory and LA times is calling you conspiracy there because they're saying, this is climate change. There's nothing that can happen. Well, guess what? The day of the debate, the judges overruled the appeal by the state and the city of LA. Guess why? Because

of the negligence that caused the policies are, it's moving forward, discoveries open. So this idea that I was this conspiracy theory, climate change, wind guy that a normal person would have, oh my god, I'm being attacked by the governor of California on social media, most people back down. You burn miles down. You burn my parents. You've been through it. You've been in the public. You've been a fighter in public. You've got this character that allows you to kind

of stand up. You have this capacity and you have a bit of a platform going into it. So it was on.

told the leave, the smoldering lockman fire on January 1st. They told me that Mayor Bass was fighting

“the battalion chief, who's editing the after action report, obstruction of justice. They're telling”

me that the chief fought her for that 70 million and warned her that Angelina's would not be safe.

So I'm getting all this information. So I don't feel like just this fringe social media. You're like, man, I'm not crazy. Yeah. So you fast forward the campaigns up and running now. Yeah. Well, let's rewind. Yeah. So when I see that no one's running against her, I reach out to Rick Russo. I call him and I say, you're going to run after Mayor Bass because she's going to guarantee when June 2nd, 51%. Totally. And I cannot accept this as a human

being at this point. And I call him and he says, go after Bass, implying he's not going after Bass. And so gay mom, no one else stepping up. He told you to do it. Yes. But I was already doing it, but if he was going to do it, I wasn't going to go against totally. Yeah. I was like, okay, are you going to do it? Yeah. He said, God. So how's the campaign going after this debate this week? And I want to talk about the campaign ads because the ads have almost elevated you to what I am

hearing from a lot of people is almost like a historic campaign. The ads are cutting through in a way

that people have never seen before are those your ads or they being produced by a third party and

put out there because I've heard from some folks, there's a guy Charlie Caron that might be involved or other folks that might be separate from your campaign that are putting these out there. They're breaking through the mold that everyone's like, this isn't a political campaign. This is almost emotional. It's a movement. People want to get behind you and they don't even live in LA. So the ad that blew up crazy is when I showed Bass's house,

with the aromans million dollar mansion, multi-million dollar and then my air stream, that one broke every ad record of history. That is, if it has my name on it, it's legally mine. Anything like these incredible grass roots ads. Yeah. I don't put my name on it. It's literally not mine. So there were people out there doing these ads, not in your campaign, correct, that are creating this movement, correct, because people feel the common sense. They feel the emotion that totally. It's connecting.

I keep trying to tell everyone that they try to put me to box. I didn't run for to be a political party. I didn't run to be a politician. I ran because I experienced what city leadership failure

“at the ultimate level is, that's why I stepped up. That's what cuts through. So the media and”

everyone wants to jump on if you're like, oh, Spencer's our guy. No, I'm this citizen. I am the angry taxpayer. You can be a Democrat and love me. You can be a Republican, love me. The only people that don't love me are communist is socials and I don't want them to love me. You know, there was a saying from John Adams 1776 where he said, "Public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private virtue, implying that citizenship involves sacrificing your personal interests for the

greater public good." Thomas Jefferson also spoke at length about taking a turn providing civic duty. Everyone has a civic responsibility to support society at large, but if you're going to go in the government, if you're going to go to politics, you do a tour of duty. It's not a career.

It was never meant to be a career. And it's almost like the local, the state and the national

level, there's an entire industry of people that have built a career in politics. And then you come along. I think Donald Trump's come along. He's almost like another one of these enigma that came out that people, it resonated with people that you're actually standing up and saying, I'm the guy who's on the other side of the problem with all of this. And this is why this needs to change. It seems to be creating a movement. Yeah, I feel like I connect more

with Cincinnati, this guy that was so farmer. I actually have Cincinnati to throw it down.

“That's what I was going to mention. I'm like, oh, it's two as a terror.”

Oh, no, that's what I connect to because I'm like this guy, when it fought this battle, they wanted to give them all the power. He's like, no, I want to go back to my family. And I keep initially when I ran, I would say, I want to do my four years and then go back, I realized, I needed to do the eight years, lock this in, get L.A., the number one city in the world, then I can go back to my family. So I'm prepared to do the eight. That's my tour of duty.

And when people say, oh, this is your house. This airs from I go, no, that's my forward operating base. Because this is a battle against good and evil. They let seven people die in the street every day with our billions of tax dollars. And they say, we need new beds. It's a drug problem. 90% of these people are drug addicts. We need to get these people mandatory treatment. Then we can get them beds. And also, they don't have to have a bed

in on the west side or next to people's houses or in San Pedro or in right next to schools. They can have beds in facilities that we build out. My friend Matt Hess has an incredible facility in Bentonville. He built for veterans. I've been talking with him where he has veterans come here.

Incredible compound. Beautiful possibilities. I guess in Italy, some billionaire did this for

“addicts. That's my vision where we have all this. Hey, Cara, people the right way. Exactly.”

All the services that you'll ever need in the beautiful setting, not in a cement brick building that looks like a prison. An addict, when they're getting off drugs, they don't want to be in a 250 square foot little cell. No service. We put them out in nature. We're spending 25 billion dollars plus. We have enough money where it's actually cheaper to build the most incredible facility out in nature that bring these services that provide for these addicts and you separate people.

Everybody doesn't go in one building like they do right now. If you're a veteran, you go over here. Single mothers with their kids, families over here. Somebody's just a hard and criminal drug addict. You go over here on this side of the hill. And we need to build this out and we have the money. But guess who doesn't make money if I do that? The NGOs that are stealing all of our tax money to increase from giving these people pipes, giving them needles, giving them the Narcan,

“letting them OD 14 times the night. Let me just hit on the NGO point. What is the corruption there?”

Help people understand because a lot of people think this is like a maga talking point. I hear this thrown about all the time. People use maga as a term to dismiss when someone says something that is factually jarring to you. I've noticed this. Someone comes along and they point out something and it's like, oh, that's a maga talking point. As a way of just dismissing it instead of actually listening to what the person is saying. Can you explain what goes on with these NGOs? Like,

how do NGOs create a system that the more we spend and in the last 10 years, city of Los Angeles, I think it's increased homeless spending by 10x and the homeless population has doubled and clearly it's gotten a lot worse. Why is that relationship there? And what's the role that the NGOs actually play on this? And I promise not to call you a maga guy for telling me. Well, first off, when you said, "Homus is 2x." "Homus is 200x." The count for homelessness,

the one mayor bass in the debate was like, it's down 17% from like these are the most cook numbers, even the ran corporation says what they're saying is 30% increase. But they just drive around like a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. They're not going in under these encampments and bridges and bushes and unzipping these tents and going into the sewer. So we don't even know the count. But let me tell you my first

experience with NGOs after the policies fire, fire eight, 100 million raised. Every single

person I talk to messaging me, no one's getting this money, no one's seeing a dollar. I go to Washington, I ask senators to investigate this. We open up the case. Now, I'll send fire eight, puts out a legal letter to defend themselves in their own legal letter from the law firm. They say several, several of these NGOs gave directly to fire victims. The list for the 100 million is 200 plus. Google several, several. It's under 10. So even in their defense, they're telling you,

and again, I don't believe one of those 10 gave directly. The people that they said did, like, we gave gift cards. Who would you give gift cards to? I don't you don't think one

“fire victim, their message of me all day long said, hey, I got a $500 gift card. So that's what I”

learned firsthand that these NGOs will take and write in your face, 100 million and just steal it.

So back to what being a magazine, the person who really exposed the details to me is this incredible democrat, mom, Samantha from the integrity project. She made her own little charity, nonprofit, because she's now tapped out of her own money in her neighborhood in Westwood, herner husband, they're both lawyers, and this homeless housing went up on their block. It was senior citizens. They kicked the senior citizens out and it's the wine guard. Their audit

is late. Let's put it that way. They're making hundreds of millions of dollars. This is the best part. So the building goes on on the market for $11 million. Six days later, the city with our tax money gives wine guard. $29 million, $28 million to buy this same building that was 11 million dollars. There's nobody's to this day. Years later, being housed in this wine guard has developers paying $750 a square foot when I've talked to developers and contracts, this should be $250

square foot, so they make this money with these developer kickbacks. They have all these shelve companies that, oh, this is our developer has nothing to do, ready for one of my fair parts, with that $30 million. Who do you think owns that building in Westwood? Not the taxpayers, wine guard. So this is the Shelby house. I just went to San Pedro, right across street from a school 600 feet away, right across this beautiful little nice with old people in this community. They're

kicking senior citizens out of one of San Pedro, and they're going to put hard and criminals. Same thing, this one's like $80 million. So what they do, say take our tax money, they take grants, they take federal and state grants, and they they cook up a little plan. Here's this. We're going to

these people, then jails get $1 million salaries that people below them get 500. Nobody's actually

helping anyone because ready for this. There's no requirement to house people, and then in the

“state of California, this is the craziest part. With the home key rules, the state won't give the”

city a lot of the money. If you require the people to be off of drugs, if you say you can't do drugs in this housing, oh, then you can't get the access to this money. That's unbelievable. And just to be clear, what an NGO is legally. It's a 501c3 organization. Anyone can set one up. Anyone can file the IRS form, create this entity. Once you've created the entity, you've legally created it. You've got an IRS form, cost a couple hundred bucks to do it. Now, theoretically, someone who might want to be,

I don't know, a crony or a criminal. A criminal, as you might call them, whatever you want to

call them, they can now use this entity that they've created to basically get access to all this

money from governments that aren't necessarily keeping a good eye on the money. How do the politicians that are allowing it to happen or the bureaucrats in the government that are allowing that to happen? How do they benefit? Because why would they do this? Why would they let this money

“flow out to these NGOs in a way that's clearly not in the taxpayer's best interest?”

Well, you can go the conspiracy route or you can just go, look at all these things we're doing. So, there's two ways to look at it. They get to say, oh, we have this housing and this services. These people just bring them this easy out like they're trying to fix something while still looking good. Oh, that's this NGO. Oh, they are criminal. They got caught. So, then you go conspiracy. And you could say, well, these people helping campaigns or they

putting to that pack. So, there's money going. So, that's more conspiracy. That's a good fringe. But in just a sense, it's an easy way out. Oh, we're solving this. We're working on this. Two ways you can look at it. I think they're all criminals. Thankfully, I've talked to the justice department, sources, and city officials are going to go down. They are complicit. Here's the hard part about catching these people. They're literally taking money with poker

chips, goods and services. Criminals are smart now. They're not just saying, "Zell me the money." Right. But from my sources, we are going to see actual city officials go down. Not quick enough because they got to frame these people up. But again, how to Spencer stop this with his mayor.

I've met with the criminal investigation team the IRS six times. First week in office, you bring

all of them in. We audit every NGO, every document that hasn't been shredded. Some people insiders at City Hall have told me, you know, they're shredding these documents. I have more faith in my criminal investigation team. They'll be all figure out without the documents, even if they're

“shredded. But that's what's happening. They're shredding the documents. So, let me ask Karen Bass,”

a lot of people you would assume would feel like she failed the city with the fire. Why is she still able to stay in office? And why is she in the lead in the polls for running from there? Why are people still voting for her? She's the lowest in the history of the polls of her in comments. So, she has 20%. So, 80% of LA does not believe that. So, the polls are confusing. She's the worst record in the history of the city. So, 80% of people do not think she's doing a good job.

20% is crazy bad. That's why I counsel when Rahman jumped in the race one hour before the closing because she saw I was going to beat Mayor Bass and her DSA team, three bullet on no Democratic Social America that she co-governs with as a city council member. They were like, get in. You can be the fake Democrat and Spencer will take out Bass and then you'll get in. She endorsed Mayor Bass two weeks before she jumped in the race. They work together on all these things.

Mayor Bass doorknacht to get Councilman Rahman who is about to lose her councilman seat. She doorknacht with her to get her in and back to her. So, nobody backs Mayor Bass and any of the media that's trapped in this lies. They are on. It's not Mayor Bass is full. It was high winds. It's an unprecedented disaster. It's not sure. It's preceding. We had the bell airfire. Mayor Bass was alive for with the Mandaville Canyon Fire. Mayor Bass was alive for not unprecedented.

So, the polls mean nothing. Everyone that's voting for me is not taking a spam call for soft. They're not talking to a stranger on the street because they already feel so unsafe. And I'll let a Randall approach them. Period. So, you know, it's interesting. Both candidates, Rahman and Bass are, I don't know if Bass is self declared socialist. But obviously, she's been time with Castro's organization in Cuba. She's a venceramos brigade member.

She spent 20 times going to Cuba. So, when they say, so as you're doesn't have any experience, look, a reality starts when you know, I wasn't training with terrorists that would later bomb

to make her the vice president. But my point is we have a self declared socialist mayor in Seattle

and now in New York. What is going on in cities that people are standing up and raising their hand or filing a ballot saying, "I want a socialist to be my mayor." And now we're seeing this kind of emerge on a national basis. I've talked about this a lot. I got my own perspective on it. But like, what do you think is going on with the people on the street? As you meet with people, as you get to talk to them, why do they want that persona? Why do they want that policy,

the socialist policy? I don't even think they're aware of it. I think we have such tribal politics that people that are against me just think, "Oh, he's not with us. It's so gang gang." That they don't even realize who they're with and what these people represent. They just think, "Oh, it's not that group." And that's the problem when you nationalize politics. We should be a city. We should be altogether making sure the streets are safe. The lights are

wrong. There's no pot holes. The sidewalks are there. It's that basic. But we've gotten to this nationalized politics where they don't even care who they just think, "Oh, they're not that person. They're not connected to that party." So also they tell these people, "We're going to make these more affordable. We're going to give you free money." This idea that that works. I added this guy, Rafa, he manages a bunch of the Dodgers. He's been his wail and he came up to me at an event

where he's like, "Yeah, I feel like I was in a scene in Braveheart. It was so intense. It's like William Wall, it's in my face. Big Venezuelan dude." And he's like, "I've fled Venezuela because of socialism." And I thought everything for my family. And I will not let my kids have this socialism in L.A. I know what happened. I was like, "I know, bro. I'm good. Join the team. You're with me. Let's go door knock." But people who know this idea of giving you money, it does not work. It's this fake

“lie. What people forget is they can't lower the costs of goods. The only thing you can do to make”

things more affordable as mayor, which I will be able to do is put more money in people's pockets.

When you put more revenue in the city, we're over here. They're always asking me, "How you get a

balance this budget Spencer who's going to be no money to do us?" We should be the number of sitting in the world. We should have money shooting out of ATMs. We're Los Angeles. They're we plenty of money when we let the systems work. When we let business work, how can you let business work if you have drug addicts going number two and number one in front of every cafe? We'll also over 100 restaurants in L.A. Not because they weren't good food because you have drug addicts

scaring people to go out. That's why they're uber eats. They're doing door dash. I talked to a mom the other day who works in downtown as a lawyer. I know her because of her friends, kids or my friend's kids should Spencer. We're not allowed to leave the office building. Our food has to be delivered in.

“That's why restaurants are closing around downtown L.A. Because the workers that are still trying to”

work can't go outside of their buildings because it's unsafe. The number one thing in a functioning city that we don't have is safety. If you don't have a safe city and they'll tell you, Mayor of Asselt, tell you, Councilman Roman, crimes down. They'll just say the murder rates down. Well, that's a national trend. Please don't try to take credit for that. But crimes down because people have given up calling 911. I talked to a guy today out lunch. He said he watched a lady,

the other day on Willshire Boulevard right in front of the federal building. The FBI building is nice, Latino lady get punched in the chest by a crazy drug addict. He pulled over his car, tried to like be Batman hero, jumped out and said stop that. The ladies were so user like, thank you. They get on the bus. He watches this guy get a PVC pipe, start banging on cars. He calls 911.

And he's like, they just act like it's no big deal. It's this normal L.A. Finally, he starts ripping

a bike off of the like off of a bus. He calls 911. He's like he's ripping the bike. No big deal. Now the guy's coming out him. He says he's coming after me and they're like, okay, somebody's coming police come. He's like, the rest of the guy's like, well, nobody's here and there's no witness. He's like, arrest this guy's arguing with the cops. Every cop I talk to wants to enforce a law, but they can't because the powers behind them. They're not taking any of these citations ready,

“because it's culturally insensitive to sight and ticket someone without an address. That's why the”

dogs are being abused, tortured, mutilated, raped on the side streets. People are filming this. They know what's happening, but even Stacey Gaines or whatever, Stacey Daines was ahead of the animal control or whatever animal services. She said, oh, we can't. The city mayor's office said, culturally insensitive don't. We can't go after people without addresses. Dude, that's unbelievable. Makes me so angry. That's a problem. They keep on calling me the angry white guy. They don't get

every race, every gender. However you identify. If you live in LA and you're paying your taxes, you are angry. But most people don't see it as the other thing. So like Skid Row, most people aren't there all the time. We host our all-in-summit in downtown LA. It's our last year. We're doing it

down there. We have people from all over the world. 60 countries come to our event. They're like,

“what the hell is this place? We can't be down here. When you see it, you're like, what? Here's”

a problem. We keep talking about Skid Row and LA. This is all over the valley. This is in Westwood. This is in Hollywood. This is everywhere. Before my house burned down from a Palisades elementary school, Cross Street, my son's Methodist preschool where I went to preschool. There was a lady cleaning her private parts in front of kids. Almost every morning at 7.45 a.m., we call LAPD. They come and they go, man, no more. She'd go walk to the street and she'd go number two in front of Joe's barbershop.

So it was coming to the Palisades. It's coming everywhere. This is not a, when I went to USC, it was Skid Row. So we have this issue in San Francisco where I live, and Mayor Larry came in. I don't know if you've followed what he's done. He's an unbelievable guy, old friend of mine,

and done an incredible job. He arrest people. He puts him in jail, but crime has stopped.

Car breakins are down 87% in the city. 87% you no longer have hordes of people walking into

“stores, stealing everything. Walking out as soon as you just enforce the law, that's already in place.”

Boom, you're 90% of the way there. Everything kind of, it doesn't, it doesn't take a miracle. So it just takes a will and someone who can actually manage and organize to get the stuff done. Give them the votes. Get them there. So I met with Victor Coleman, who owns most of the studios, a lot of real estate in LA, and he talked to me about Mayor Larry and San Francisco. He said Spencer, when they tell you, you have no experience, you just tell him,

Mayor Larry didn't have any experience running a city. What he did, he's came in and forced to law. He said, "My portfolio in San Francisco is booming again. My portfolio in Los Angeles, it's not doing as well." Let's say they said, "You just need a force, the laws that exist."

And a lot of people always say this to me, they go, "What are you going to do with all these people?"

A great quote of famous police chief told me, "Once you start putting handcuffs on people, watch how many people leave, 100%. This idea that everyone, if you let everyone do drugs and do whatever they want and let the criminals make the outside asylum and with no guards, if you let them do that, they're going to do that. But if you, so when I'm Mayor, my plan is, first three weeks, signs up across the city, no more nakedness, no more drug use, no more robbing,

no worse it. No more burning dogs in the district. No more drug abuse, very on every sign on every part so that we're going to go around, we're going to warn everybody, hey, get three more weeks of this, like clocks ticking, just keep telling everyone, just so the people that are aware they're like, "Oh, wow, there's a new mayor in town, they may start leaving." And then when the three weeks or maybe we'll even do two weeks, maybe people won't want it faster. And then once

we start enforcing laws, boom, streets will be back. You know who else? I'm going to bring in the CDC because there's medieval diseases in these encampments. They're not swabbing these encampments, they're not swabbing the streets. People are just living in feces and drug use and dogs burning the body, we need these streets clean. What about the building of the team to execute? You're looking to sit in this executive role. Have you ever had a role where you've overseen tens of thousands

of employees before I'm assuming? Not, I'm not your bio, but like, how do you execute? Who do you bring in under you that actually knows how to manage the system, manage the people, deliver the message, you can form strategy and set objectives and so on. But walk us through how you're actually going to deliver as mayor operationally when you step in on day one. So the great news about running for mayor of LA is everyone wants to save LA. Everyone wants LA to be number one. The meetings

I'm taking every week now, the lunches, the brunches, the dinners of beyond successful people that are willing to work for a dollar a year, pause their companies to come in. People are telling me just with algorithms alone they have. We can 100x the bureaucracy of the city and building and development. What I'm saying is there's so many cranes in the city because we're going to be rebuilding the amount of money. Just last week I probably met with 10 billionaires that are

ready to come in and build LA up to be the number one city in the world. So when they say,

who you have no experience? Well, what I do have is humility. I'm humble. I know I've never

ran the second largest city. I know smart people who have done it. We need to be bringing in the CEOs that have ran the biggest corporations of the world to come in and work with, you know,

“because they'll tell you, no, you need to know the city at a certain level. You bring those people”

in, but the people that execute the multi-billion, like they say, they say, oh my gosh, Spencer, this is a 15 billion dollar budget. Well, there's people I'm meeting with that have 50 billion dollar budgets that are going up that go up. So these people exist that I will surround myself with. I already have a deputy mayor that I can't say because of fear of retaliation, the city of LA,

enforce the law. So I have a deputy mayor that will help me enforce the law. And that's the priority.

“When we enforce the law, now all these creative ideas on execution work. But if you don't enforce”

a law, mayor bass could bring in all the same people I'm meeting with, but she wanted for us a law. Councilman Ramen can bring in all the same people that I'm meeting with. It won't work if you don't enforce a law. No one's putting money into the city of LA until they know there's a mayor. It's going to make sure the streets are safe for all the moms, the kids, the dads. Everyone that just wants to be a normal human being, just pays their taxes, goes to park,

go to dinner. So until you do that part, all this, who's going to be this is irrelevant. But the list of people is so again. Because I hear it from a lot of executives on friends with, they're like, man, this message resonates. People want to get involved. They want to step up. Like I said, people not from LA want to step up. Outside of keeping the streets safe, outside of building a reasonable fire suppression infrastructure or getting back to basics,

“what about education? We have young kids. LA USD spends $23,000 per student,”

$111,000 average teacher salary. It's number one in the country. But LA USD, as a school district, ranks 170 of the state of California. And only 46% of students are meeting or exceeding standards. And English, 37% in math. What is there to do about education in the city to give all of the next generation the opportunity to progress, to realize their potential, and to not fall into the traps of socialism and communism because they're despondent. They don't have opportunity in front of them.

How do we get that generation to succeed? Well, for my own experience with my son who was in LA USD, and it was even a charter where pals is supposed to be the best version at all times. Every parent is just trying to fundraise, fundraise for books, for learning, for teaching, for an extra teacher. It's like, what is going on? If I'm going to spend this much money, I'm going to put my kid in a private school. How would these schools? So first of all,

we got to back to auditing. The biggest issue I've learned with the city of LA, whether it's the school systems, everyone is the audit. Where is all this money going to? First off, at the fire department, the police department, the waste of this taxpayer money. So let's figure a first out where the money is going because if it's cost as much for each student yet as a

dad, I'm trying to always donate how fundraisers we got to attract the money. And that's another

thing that when we talk about what's mayor Pratt, it's accountability and transparency. Every dollar of tax money in the city of LA needs to be on very easy, cliff notes level dashboards. So we can track and get results of where all our tax money is going. But back to how we make kids know socialism and communism doesn't work. As we give their parents hope again, and we make the parents demand, I have kids, I have a parents right now that are pulling their kids out of a school of public

school that my kids are in right now because of that messaging. There's no more pledge of allegiance. There's no more America's good. We just need to go back to having pride in being Americans. We've gotten so far off of just America's awesome because everyone's fighting with political and it's like, oh, America flag is like, I can't put that up. We need to get back to the basics of where our grandparents were when they were fighting World War II and had pride in being

Americans. But to me, it's the money. Where's the money going? If you want things to be better, we've got to stop wasting money. The fire stations that I meet with, they're charging $250,000

“for doors, $50,000 for refrigerators. So I think tracking money is the source of all of this.”

I have a buddy, his house burnt down, unfortunately, as well. So I was like, I'm going to meet with Spencer Pratt, any questions? He said, what about this stupid ass,

$3 billion expansion of the convention center? My favorite part about the convention center is

like a month ago, less than a month ago, it was just a dead body in the bushes in front of the convention center. So the idea that we're going to put billions of dollars into something that has dead bodies in the bushes in front, why are we putting the billions of dollars to getting the dead bodies from stopping to be on the streets every day? But I don't want to say initially, I was like, stop that. But now I'm in this like LA's got to be the number one city in the world. So maybe we don't

need to use LA money, but let's do private partnership, who's going to come in with money to do something right now, we can't afford. But I don't want to be the one now that's like, we don't want to stop building. I actually like the idea of having a convention center because the LA that I'm about to build when I destroy 40 blocks of drugged out zombies that are taking all these empty buildings, so much business and commerce is going to come in. We're probably going to need that convention

center. Currently, there makes no sense with the current administration. Mayor Bass is elected as the dumbest thing you ever heard. If Councilor Romance is like, is the dumbest thing that Mayor Pratt goes in and we're putting billions of dollars of money back in LA, restaurants are back. We're

my message was, let's get back to LA, I grew up in. I was like, start taking on his meeting with

billionaires, ready to give me 500 million dollars. I met with a billionaire, anonymous billionaire,

that had agreed to be the funds are. He said, my family gave 300 million dollars to New York for a project. We'll give you 500 million dollars to bring fun back to Los Angeles, I was like, can I tell people that I'm using? No, no, I'll be the anonymous are. This person is for real. So to me, when I hear this 2 billion dollars, if I make that convention center a little bit more fun, I have a 500 million now that we can make it the fun convention center and I just I just cut that

cost and have. So yes, right now makes no sense. Have you met with union leaders? No, they all they all back, they're fast. So they're all going to love me because everyone's going to have more revenue. Everyone's going to have jobs. LA is going to, so when they're like, you're not going to win, because you don't have the unions. I don't need the unions to win. I have the moms. I have the animal lovers. That's more than any union. That's and you can't get that endorsement. Moms across the

city of LA, not moms just in the Valley, not moms just in San Pedro, not moms in South Central, not moms in East LA, not moms in Boy Heights, not moms in everywhere. Moms don't feel safe. The city is unsafe. No matter what, how much crime stats, the feeling and I'm safe is resonating. And my message of, I will be the guy that's fighting to get safety back is going to get me elected. And I keep telling you, I'm going to win on June 2nd with 51% of the vote. November is there,

they're fighting for November. I win June 2nd, but the unions, obviously people think this is big

issue. When you won't, when your city is amazing. How are you going to work with them? So you win

on June 2nd, all the union leaders call up your deputy mayor. Say, I want to meeting with Mayor Pratt. They come into your office one at a time. They sit down across the table from you. What's the message? The message is, we're going to work with you to make sure you get these benefits that you want, but they need to make sense right now at our trajectory. We're going to get to where

“what you need to feel comfortable in your city role is great. But there may be a minute here,”

or we got to tighten things up. I'm going to find all these homeless NGO billions that are being laundered, but we need to get real accounting. Right now, we don't have outside budget advocates that, right, we don't look, if we're increasing a union 10% salary, even though everybody else in the private industry isn't getting increased. We need to have a balance. We need to make sense for all of Angela's. We can't have everything just for this small percentage because

they're cooking votes, but don't get me wrong, unions. I'm going to make so much money in the city that we're going to have plenty of money that you're paid where you're supposed to be paid. Long forcement is going to get paid with their supposed to get paid. We cannot lose long force because they're getting paid more Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, North County. So we can't risk losing too many long forcement. We're losing too many firefighters. So we cannot make it

where they don't want to work. And a lot of the issues where people see these salaries that are

“so in crazy, it's overtime. But if you don't get the hiring up to speed, then you have to pay”

this crazy salaries in overtime. And even that, these people that do get paid, these crazy things you read on Google, those top little, it's a niche amount of people. And they've sacrificed their family. They're working 32 days. These people are crazy. So they've given everything they have to be that firefighter or whatever that's so again. The unions aren't your enemy. You're going to find a path to working with them. Even though they're not here for you right now, they're worth

mayor baths. They're still hardworking people. I've gone almost, I'm going to a lot of fire stations. A LAFD union for sure endorses me. They just are scared to do it publicly for retaliation. LAPD for sure. The members all endorse me. I promise you. The interaction, who's messaging me, who's calling me, who's the union power. They mayer baths currently rights their deals, they're checks. That's real. I don't judge them for that. It's the system they're in.

But the membership, they want to feel safe. Most of the firefighters can't even live in California anymore. 60% of these guys fly in. And I say, well, why don't you guys live here? It's not safe for our families. I want them to move back. I want that tax money. One of the other stories about LA over the last decade or two, you know, I grew up here. I had a lot of friends who grew up in Hollywood in the industry. And it's been gutted. There's no business in LA anymore. And that's a huge employer for

so many Angelina's working in Hollywood and all of thecillary supporting industries. Do we rebuild Hollywood in LA? It's Hollywood done because of AI and YouTube and independent production

“and studios don't matter anymore. No one does broadcast. What's the future of Hollywood?”

Is there a future for Hollywood in LA and what do you do about it? So now it's 20 years old.

I sold the first, the youngest ever. So the first reality show to Fox. There's the youngest

It was with David Foster, who's actually hosting my fundraiser on Monday, full circle, shout out David Foster and legend. But I call Peter Churning up a few weeks ago. I said, Mr. Churning, PDC, how do I save LA? It's one of the smartest human beings I earth. He said, Spencer, as mayor, you're not going to be able to change the bigger picture of Hollywood. That's more governor, you know, uncapped. What you can do to really bring back jobs, bring back Hollywood

is bring back independent filmmakers, independent production, independent artists. You prioritize the Indies. You can have Hollywood booming in a tier that people didn't see coming. And all my friends who haven't given up that are still, because I grew up in LA. I went to Crossroads. All my friends are creators or artists. They're still fighting. They're not giving up. When I talk to them, they've all doubled down on the Indie route. When I talk to them, they say,

this is what we need to hear. We want to make this work. And you work with the mayor-bass brags about like, oh, now you can film at the Griffith Conservatory instead of 70,000. It's three, no, when I'm mayor, I'm going to help you produce these freaking movies. We're going to have whole blocks and we're going to use the restaurants to keep them alive and we're going to use the crews. We're going to eat out of there. We're going to use all the city resources to almost be in production

with the Indies, but making money together, you know, not like a communist or socialist, but in bringing the city to the table, giving them the support, get the rid of these fees, the clearance,

“making it easy. Right now, like I said in the debate, I talked to producers. If you want to film”

on a streets LA, it's so unsafe. You got to pay gang members off to get it. We're going to have it so safe that an Indie crew can pop out with all their cameras in gear and nothing gets stolen. So again, someone like Peter Turner, I said, Peter, when I'm mayor, can I keep calling you?

And he's exactly, I'm always here to make you smarter, Spencer. So these are the type of people

these are, oh, you have no experience. These are the people that are going to make LA number one. But that is the future. I mean, everyone is all about independent production. If you work for a big studio or work for Netflix, you're getting paid cost plus 10 percent, you're better off producing on your own. There's definitely a flourishing happening. It's just happening everywhere else. It's not happening in LA. And obviously, I've reached out to David Ellison's team. I've reached out

to Ted Seranos. I've reached out to everyone because I don't just want to be the Indie guy. I want to figure out how I go fight whoever the new governor is, get uncapped, get post production, uncapped, get as nobody should be going to UK. Nobody should be going to Canada with the respect these countries. I love you guys. But we're not sending our filmmakers there anymore. So whatever I can do is a mayor, you know, last the other night of the debate, they're like,

we're going to do it. He has a 10 years combined. You haven't done anything. I love fighting these people. I will, I've been fighting Sacramento since my house burned out. You get me bodyguards to fight these people. Trust me, we're going to a whole new level of fight. So again, I don't want to not have studios come back. We have all these empty lots. I would love big productions to come back but initially as mayor. I can fight for Indies. But don't be wrong. I want Hollywood to be top

gun three right here, take off from LA. Tell me how you address transportation in LA. There's always

a new scheme or a new system being developed. What's your view on what's wrong about transportation

“LA and how much are we wasting on things that don't really matter that we could recoup and reinvest elsewhere?”

What are those kind of priorities for you? So I just went to the new opening of the D line today, just to to troll, to get some YMB's DL at me. And my money is, my money is what about transportation to me is it's a beautiful idea when there's no human urine, human poop on there, a drug addicts, but hanging out. People forget every single person in LA sends me their photos. I'm now 311. I see what LA looks like. These people go, how do you know this information? My phone. I can't even

open it anymore because just naked drug addicts. It's a crazy thing you've ever seen. Who cares how many lines that Metro connects to what it can connect to the moon right now? But if drug addicts

are smoking vending on next to your kid, you're not going to the moon on it. So first off is back

to safety. We need these metro, the subway, whatever you want to drive. Bicycles aren't even safe. The YMB is one more bicycle. You couldn't even pay me to get out of bicycle. A drug addicts almost hit me with a crowbar when I'm riding by. We need to get safety back. And of course, I love these transportation ideas. I hate sitting in traffic, but I've grown up in LA. I'm aware of traffic is a part. So yes, we need this. We also need the money for it. We need to build

“LA up. Right now, I think 15% of the budget goes to the Metro with 5% people use it. Again, I feel like”

if I made it safe, I could give 15% to use it. And we could even that out. We got to make sure that nobody's hopping any turn style. We need to make sure you're paying to be on it so that it's safe people on it. Again, back when I clear downtown LA for you can drive for 40 blocks.

our firefighter resources and risking their lives when we clear that all out. And we use these 3D

“printing. I talked to an architect day when most famous architects in the world. He has a crew of like”

12 architects. They're all dirty. Did all these designs for these buildings that nobody listened to them and met with new some. They met with bass. Of course, I'm like, let's do it set me over the decks. We're going to have LA so beautiful. No more of these high density SP79 prison-like structures. We need to bring art deco back. All the architects have moved out here because it was so hard to build. Takes eight years. They're going to be moving back because

we're going to speed up. Building is not going to take eight years. We need LA to be the most beautiful architecture in the world. I don't want to go to Venice. I don't want to go look at Venice. I want to go Venice downtown LA. I'm out of a canal and then the YMB people that can have all their bike lanes going through the sky, tunnels, we need to get creative with LA. When you address the regulatory and permitting problem with construction and building in the city as mayor,

do you have enough authority to do this? Can you talk a little bit about the actions you would take to unleash this kind of wave of building that you want to see happen that everyone talks about wanting to see happen in LA, but there just seems to be so many layers of permitting. So many processes. So much approval. But it's statutory. It's written into the law of the city. Do you have the authority as the mayor to actually be able to go in and address that and unleash this

“without getting these folks that are the assembly people and whatnot to work with you?”

So I had a lunch today with heve volunteered to be the new head of LA building and safety.

I said, well, you're the first volunteer of somebody who does this at the highest level for right now

in private business for Los Angeles knows every, well, out onto the website, back to like my team, the goal here is to put the whole team listing their bios. He said, Spencer, we can do this so easily. We can fix all these things. I know all the errors because private businesses, the ones fighting the city all the time, they know where all the stops. I met with this affordable housing developer, Carlos, on Monday. He said when mayor bass announced her initiative, she was going to rush

at six months ago. He's at two and a half years in the permit process. Spencer, we can fix this so easy and build beautiful affordable housing. He said they're getting these tax incentives to build cells for people, cells. He said, because they get more incentives to put more people in the building, we need to change that. We need to make it where he's saying, too better. I'm a nice two better. He can do for $200 square foot versus $750 square foot. These other developers are using

the tax incentives, charging the city and putting more bodies in there. So, yes, we can do all this stuff when we take these people out. Perfect example. My air stream, it took weeks, weeks for LADWP, but one wire from a pole across the street, that's the red tape town. That's, this is the fast recovery operationally you can address that. But all of the permits that are required design review, like, we'll have to go in. AI, I know people don't like AI, but, you know, even

Caruso, he was trying to initially, he had this whole thing, he put the money up, was steadfast, and he offered this AI program to make it fast. Certainly certain zoning situations, if it meets all this, boom, you, right now, there's like a, it's like out of a bad movie. Some guy comes, he's like, you misses three and he has to do like one check, he's like, oh, I'll come back and do that. Like, it's out of a bad movie, they say, it's truly, and if you go to, nobody's even

“in these offices, you have to set it up when you can't just go into these places, they all work”

remote because maybe COVID, they're still, yeah, they work three days a week, don't they? We're in crazy land. So, again, all these meetings I keep having with very successful heads of companies that tell me, friends, what people say, you don't have experience, you tell

them, these people have multiple companies. I'm, they say, I'm never the most experienced person

in any of the rooms of my company, but everyone in my company is the most experienced person in what they need to do in that role. And I'm well aware of, I don't know any of this stuff, but I know, I want LA to be the number one safest, most beautiful, how do we get there? Who are you? What's your resume? What's your background? Oh, wow. Okay, come on, keep in mind, Janice Quiniona's who is the CEO of LA DWP who drain two reservoirs leading into a known year of the driest fire

weather season, took out the water with no plan, no backups, no tankers. She was getting paid 750,000 hours a year, plus her benefits. There are people across the United States running water and power in functioning cities that we can go recruit and say, hey, come to LA, it's going to be safe and clean and we're going to get you a nice place. You take over people want to live in LA.

Right. There's people all over the world that are telling me, hey, we want to make LA this

silicon valley of the world. LA should be the tech center of the world with respect to San Francisco or wherever these people are in Marin County, even though where they are. Wherever you guys are are, you're coming to LA. LA is way dopper and you're going to have a beautiful safe place and way more room to build all your tech companies and robots and drones, whatever you want to build, we're going to build them. Pretty nice up there, too, but you know, they don't have the beach, you're going to

be a swim without poop in the water. I grew up in the valley and you go down into our boulevard. It's all strip mulls. These are all small businesses that are owned by families. They have been typically for one, two, three generations, Armenian, Persian, Hispanic populations, folks that

“grew up in the valley. Small business, I think is the lifeblood of this city, like it's such an”

important part of this city. We've never had major corporations that everyone works for. There's a

couple of them, but generally it's a small business town. How much have you looked at the regulatory permitting, all the nonsense that goes into opening up a nail salon, starting a coffee shop, getting the permits required to open up a new store, and what can be done there to accelerate to fast-track to enable all these folks, a lot of them first or second generation immigrants, that want to come here and build, that want to start businesses, that want to have their

own company. How do we get them because the complaint is it's just so friggin hard today, it's so expensive, it takes so long. Have you gone through this and figured out what are the things you can just delete as mayor and what are the things you can just fast-track as mayor to make it so much easier for people to start and run small businesses in the city? So my friend in Venice is neighbor, just bought the local bodega that's been there forever,

“and he was telling me they're about to give up. It's been a year, he said they're not”

actually selling alcohol, there's no food, there was just going to be this basic bodega, and the list of things that it's taken in a year is so crazy. They'll make them put in one thing, and then they come in and they say, oh, no, actually that it's like a maze. We need to just stream line all these things and what I keep learning whether it's transportation, sanitation, there's no accountability. People get paid no matter if they're failure, it's not results-based.

That many turns out. Nobody is like, if you don't get this many permits, for instance, somebody called me, I said like, a wise film LA, a non-profit, which like, you need a calf to come this set and I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, this should be for profit, to incentivize bringing production. So they are getting their activism. I'm going to care a little. It's this idea that, oh, I'm getting paid no matter what,

nobody cares. There's no checks and balances. Mayors finds on the sheets, driving the go to the airport, to go to Ghana, to have a cocktail party. There's no buddy that cares, because I met with this guy, Juan from Clean LA, who cleans the streets of all from all the trash. He's from Ecuador. He came over here and he said, what is this Spencer? I'm from a third world country. It's so much more beautiful. I can't live here with my family. So he started

cleaning trash on his own. And he said, well, Juan, what's going on? He said, Spencer, nobody cares. They don't care. He says, I watch these trash truck, they pick up the trash that they just throws it. I got out of a meme and it just goes back all his street. He says, they're sleeping in the cars. There's no accountability. There's no response, but I said, Juan, well, when I'm

American, I hear he's a Spencer, I will help run sanitation, because it's supposed to be a billion

dollars, because I could do it for easily $500 million. Something in, I just saved $500 million for taxpayers, because Juan cares. He says, I'll bring in people that care. As mayor, you can probably auto stamp a lot of stuff, too, that today they're just delegating down to people who take a long time getting things done. That probably, you don't need to spend a lot of time looking at, just auto stamp the bodega license and let them run. Do you really need to have the guy go in and

figure out what everything is? This is back to if it meets these criteria, we need to bring it back. It's time. Like, here's the auto green light. LA needs to be like annoying how many cranes we see for the next eight years. It needs to look like we're in China, where they're building these bridges in like two weeks. We need all these cranes. There's no cranes. I'm getting a sea of cram. My kids probably don't know what crane looks like. If one of the other to candidate

to win, what happens to LA? Well, I will have to move to Bentonville, or I'm done, you know,

“that's why I'm fighting. If you won't get all my sons to grow up in LA, you cannot grow an up in”

LA. You're done. You listen to them at the debate. They're talking about more bends. They don't even accept that LA is in a nightmare. Yes, I love LA. It has a potential to be the greatest place on planet Earth. But we need to acknowledge we are in a scary part right now in LA. The lights don't work on the street. They don't fix roads within a year. They don't every pot holes breaking everyone's tires. You can't get 311 to fix anything. We don't have enough cops to call 911. There's

Sunland, Tahanga, Hollywood Hills. All these are going to burn. It's guaranteed. And like I said

“in the debate, I'm going to put these dip sites mile from everyone's how they're all going to connect.”

They're going to connect to private owners, swimming pools. I'm going to work with the insurance

companies so we can bring insurance back to California first LA because we're going to show them

the model because if they have these dip sites for these helicopters, we bring in more of these chinooks that LA county uses to work with the fire hawks that we have with LA city and and califier, we can bring insurance back, which is a biggest problem right now for people building. We're going to get rid of this ULA. I know I can't do it myself. I'm going to fight to make sure these communist type things don't ever happen to development. So people can sell their

flat properties, build housing. I'm going to stop letting these tenants be squatters, criminals, make it so landlords have to pay them 50 grand cash to leave and then they go to it to a new landlord. I'm going to stop the section eight scam so that real people that deserve section eight get it,

“veterans, families that need it, not just drug dealing criminals that are abusing the system with”

fraud, but yet if I lose, we're done. I'm trying to tell people, this is like out of a movie, like this is Independence Day, the aliens of attack, they got as an invasion is here and then

as mayor, I have to fight all these DSA city council members, make sure they're never re-elected.

So not only do I have to do all that, but I got a fight to make sure that my next four years, there's never a DSA fake democrat, they're not Democrats, Democrats, love Spencer Pratt, all my friends are Democrats, all my supporters are Democrats, these people I'm up against, they use the word Democrat in front of the word socialist. Go look at the Democratic social America's website people, go look at it. That's not a Democrat. Bill Clinton was a Democrat.

It's not an American. Thank you. It's even worse. These aren't even Americans. And when you say that, people are like, oh my god, this country was founded because people fled tyranny in Europe and then everywhere else in the world. And this was the bastion where you could find hope and an

opportunity to be free to choose how you want to behave, what you want to do, how you want to

pray, to have freedom that the government doesn't tell you what to do and how to do it.

“And that tyranny existed all over the world and that's why this country was started and socialism”

is the most tyrannical form, the most tyrannical system that humans have ever come up with. And so you got the word socialist in there, you've already made them a state because you've revealed yourself. My opinion. Sorry, I had to rant on my own show. Here's, I got to cook advantage I have very smart friends that are from LA and I say they're DSA. They got foot soldiers and they go, what's the DSA? So it's a sneak attack. It's like Ninja Turtles, they're in the sewers,

they're like, they're like shredder in companies. So fast forward eight years. You've been mayor for eight years. I'm going to give you, it's a four year term, right? Two year terms, you're sitting down with your sons and they're saying, Dad, what did you do to save LA? What do you tell them? Tell me about that journey in retrospect. I would say thank God, people voted for laws, sons, and I enforced the laws that are there. I did what everyone did before

the current leadership. So I keep telling people, the experience, I don't need to invent anything. I don't need to come up with this utopia of how a city works. You make a city safe and people will put money into it. They'll want to live here. Commerce comes back. Families will be able to go to parks and go to the beach and not live in fear. So to my sons, again, I'm showing them you can fight evil. These people are evil that let every innocent person that pays their taxes,

you'll unsafe on their streets that they pay taxes for. A lot of people don't have money to do things because they pay all their taxes like me and then the city and the government fails them and whether your house burns down or you've got a screaming drug addict in front of you, a naked drug addict, in front of your kids, causing trauma. These people having literal drug addicts having sex on meth, front of kids. Parents are telling me they have to have their kids glued to an iPad and

the back seat of their cars driving in them in a school. Some parents don't have cars. In other communities, they have to walk under these underpasses and walk past this. So I'll be able to tell my sons, thank God America has lost and your dad said, hey, breaking news, let's enforce them and we did it and it worked and then people came in with tons of money and we got businesses booming more jobs. Hollywood, we're making even better movies than we've made in 10 years because the

independent creative artists are inspired again, they're feeling supported. The vision is so real and that's my fight. I go back to if guys burning somebody's house down to fight these people, you're burning my house down and then you burn my mom's house down and you have me listening my crying mom every day, for 18 months. I don't do this to be a politician. I do this to fight evil and this is evil that has taken this beautiful city that I loved. I didn't even want to travel

These people that I'm running against aren't even LA people. So I'll tell them the loss on. Spencer Pratt, thank you for joining me on the All-In-In interview. Thank you, thank you. What a blast. That was awesome, thank you.
