#2483 - Spencer Pratt

Joe Rogan, experience. Train my day, Joe Rogan, podcast my night. All day. What's going on, Mr.

Mayor? I'm so thankful to be here. My pleasure. So first of all, how did this idea even get into your head of running for mayor in LA?

To be clear, I never wanted to run for any political office or have anything to do with politicians. What happened was, after spending a year uncovering how my house and my parents' house burned down and my neighbors burned alive and 7,000 houses burned and then I realized there's a cover up going on, all the negligence and I keep posting about it and I have all the facts, I have all the whistleblowers, I have all the evidence and business as usual and I see that nobody is stepping up to run against the mayor who's responsible for this disaster and so many other disasters. So it became to the point where I got so sick of just being a, as the younger people say in the comment section, a yapper, I felt like I was just yapping, like making these videos, I'm telling the truth. I got a congressional investigation, I went to Washington, I met with everyone possible that I could do as just a citizen.

And I was like, okay, well, game on now, I'm going to go into your headquarters and just take your job and then remove all these toxic entities that are destroying our way of life in Los Angeles. So let's start from the fire. So the narrative was, oh god, there was a lot of terrible, stupid, fake narratives and one of them was climate change. That was the craziest one, climate change that was causing the fire.

Look, I lived in LA for 29, 30 years, whatever it was and I guess it was, yeah, somewhere around there, maybe even more, whatever it was. When I lived in LA, fire season happened every year. This is not climate change, this is not some new thing over the last couple of decades. I was evacuated three different times.

I used to live in Pel Canyon and my neighbors, three of the homes right across the street from my house, burned to the ground in 2018. There's always been fires in Los Angeles. But the lack of preparation for the palisades fires was astonishing. The fact that the reservoir was empty was criminal mismanagement.

I mean, it was just insanity that everybody knew that we had fires, like massive fires, that it was a dry place and when the Santa Ana winds would blow, if something caught fire, it was a real problem. We had known that forever. And when you see all these people that are passing the buck and moving the blame, and then the fund, when they had that big charity thing for the fire, and you found out that hundreds of millions of dollars was raised, you know, if you're looking at it in like a rational person, a rational person would say, oh, this is great. All these people lost their homes will have some funds from this and they'll be able to rebuild.

And then you find out that the money was given to what was like 108 different NGOs, 200 plus, 200 plus where that money got distributed to these organizations, these supposed nonprofit organizations, and most of that money goes to overhead. And almost nothing goes to the people who lost their homes. So to rewind the start with what we thought, we were told climate change and with the climate change because I spent hours and hours arguing with people that will argue with that. I go, okay, great.

The climate changes, right? So we're aware of this dry weather. It hasn't rain. So what should we actually be doing?

Should we just say, oh, everybody should burn alive and houses burn down, or should we clear the dead brush? Should we pre deploy? Should we make sure that both reservoirs have water in it? So the idea that climate changes the get out of jail, burn everything down, excuse, it doesn't even add up.

So we know that. So let's make a difference. And I went and met with the chief of the US Forest Service and talked to him for a few hours. This guy, Chief Garcia, he's one of those famous fire chiefs from the hotshots, and I quizzed him.

And he told me, this was not a surprise. He said they all have a map. I forget the name of this map that it goes to all cities and emergency personnel. They have photos.

You look at him. He showed him to me everything is bright red leading up to January 7th, bright red. They knew this was coming to the point where Chief Garcia had all of his firefighters on the tar Mac, kitted up in their helicopters. He said his whole team was standing by their computers because it was so obvious this fire was coming based off of, if you want to say, climate change because it had not rained, it was record dry.

So this idea that they use that, it's just an excuse. And the big one that everyone falls for to this day that is the best propaganda ever is hurricane winds. We were told, you know, Newsom's doing the thing and he's saying that winds would come in the hurricane. He lit his hair on fire.

There was no hurricane winds in the Pacific Palisades. The max wind speed was 40 miles per hour. And for the first six hours when the helicopter is the initial attack when you put out the fire, it was max, I think, 27 miles per hour. So they got everyone with it's unprecedented.

It's hurricane winds. It's climate change. No responsibility. So now we go to fire rate.

This is, this was another thing that just woke me up to. You know, we always heard about the homeless NGO scam and the homeless industrial complex, but living as a fire victim and watching all these celebrities go on stage. They actually took fire victims from Altadena on stage whose houses burned down and they raised this hundred million dollars. And as a victim, I'm thinking, okay, you know, we're going to get a few thousand dollars.

That's nice. Or, you know, you break a hundred million up. This should be a grand, you know, even FEMA in these places, when you get that thousand dollar check, it's helpful. You're like, oh, I just lost everything.

Every little thousand adds up. So when that happened and nobody, I know, anywhere got money in Sue, Pasco from circling the news, a local journalist whose house burn down, she spent months investigating, calling up every single NGO. Who did you give money to? Which, which victim nobody got money?

And even the law firm that they hired to do the, you know, the cover up for the fire rate, the law firm says in their own little three page document where they're defending fire rate, they say several of the money went directly to fire victims. Why Google just to see because I know the definition of several, I want to see what does Google say several is it was definitely under 10. Two out of 200 plus NGOs, their own lawyers are saying several gave to fire victims. And then you look at the three that they named, like we gave gift cards to victims, which victims, which you were just handing out if you were, but it was that that woke me up to it.

They stole the money. Yeah. And if they'll do that to the people whose houses just burned down, of course they're going to do it to our tax money with the homeless industrial zombie complex. So that was a real wake up that put me into, oh, here's where the $25, $30 billion goes.

It doesn't go to solving anything or fixing it. It goes to scams. This episode is brought to you by Squarespace. Once you've got a great name for your business, you need a great domain and Squarespace makes it easy to lock in a domain.

Well, I don't think before Doge and before Elon started investigating into a lot of these NGOs, I don't think anybody was really aware. Most people were not aware of how this all works and how there's a whole bureaucracy. Like a business that's set up where a bunch of people get paid from this money to essentially make no improvements whatsoever in whatever the problem is, whether it's homelessness, the homelessness is one of the biggest ones in LA because there was $24 plus billion spent on homelessness. And when people, when representatives have tried to do an audit to find out where this money went, Newsom has blocked it.

He has vetoed this audit. So it's even worse in the sense that it's not going to just their salaries. There's actual cases now with the DOJ and the feds. There are wrestling people who are just stealing $30 million, $20 million, buying Bentley's mansions in Brentwood.

So the idea that it's just going to salaries and people are paying themselves out, that's one. But there's also people just straight up stealing money. And you can't even figure out how they steal it. For instance, this lovely lady came on my podcast and she created her own charity type thing, the Integrity Project, to expose NGOs because she lives in Westwood.

And all of a sudden one day on her block, she invested with her husband, she had a nice single family house on this nice street in Westwood. And the old person home, they're kicking all the senior citizens out. What's going on here? And the next thing you know, the building's on the market for sale and it's for $11 million.

Six days later, that building sells to a developer for $27 million. Ends up this NGO, Weingart, who's one of the top, I think they're at maybe $100 million just this year. They haven't turned in their audit to the feds. It's late right now.

But for instance, no one knows why it went from $11 million to $27 million over the weekend in three days. So people pocket that money. Here's the craziest part. Guess who?

So the grant, Weingart gets a grant from the city of the state. Guess who owns that building? Not the city of the state. Weingart.

The city buys for $20 extra million of property to have it as a homeless housing. Each of these beds, because I think there's maybe like 70 beds in it. It's now six years later, approximately, totally not finished, not done, more, you know, construction, this or that, they still get paid as operators. So these NGOs, not only get the money for the grants to buy the building, then they get like a million dollars a year to be operators.

And here's the best part, there's no mandatory that they have to actually put a body in the beds. So, you know, so the scam is like, I keep saying this is a cartel. This is mafia. This is real mafia criminal stuff going on.

The problem is, so one thing I'm so excited to do when I'm mayor and people in the comment section like, oh, he's so stupid, you can't do that. I've met with the IRS criminal investigation team three times in LA twice in Washington, DC. And they are so excited for me to be mayor because all they need is one document from each of these NGOs and these grants and they can open these investigations on fraud. Right now, they know the fraud and the crimes are happening, but if the city doesn't hand over the document and NGO doesn't, they say they can't just open up these cases without that one document.

So first week, so first week as mayor, I'm bringing in the criminal investigation team how much tax money we're spending on just keeping zombies alive. I met with firefighters a few days ago at the Hollywood station and they were telling me the amount of Narcan they go through. So one night in the, I talked to MacArthur Park there, fire station, he did 17 overdoses in one night. So if we, they're not there given the Narcan where the amount of people dying is even more and say right now, six people are dying a day in the street and then they say, oh, this is compassionate.

These people have rights and these people do not have rights for us to just die. We need to protect these people as humans. And again, that's why my whole thing is enforce the law. It is illegal to just be doing fentanyl on the street.

So if we come in and we give you mandatory treatment, not jail, if you're not, you know, some of these people are just straight going to jail for animal abuse. They're torturing animals all day long on skid row. The videos that I get sent, once you see them, you can't unsee them. Not to mention now I'm working with all the rescue ones.

The ones they text me and they're just like Spencer, we have to stop this. And the city knows they call the cops all day long, the cops come and they say, I mean, LAPD's hands are tied. If the mayor and the city attorney, they don't have like enforce the law, they just get away with it. So we're in Mad Max life in Los Angeles and people like to say, oh, it's not this.

I'm from LA. I've grown up and I keep saying I'm fighting to get LA back to what I grew up. It was beautiful. It's why I wanted to be on a TV show and be famous and be part of Hollywood.

It was magical. Not even mentioned Hollywood is now gone. The fact that Hollywood Boulevard should be the greatest tourist attraction in the world. You couldn't pay me right now to go on Hollywood Boulevard.

Step on human feces, the smell of pee inhaling, fen, there's everyone to get a smoke fen on the streets now. It's psycho. So again, why did I once you start digging in, you spend all your life now exposing this because again, they burned my house down. They burned my mom's house down.

They put me in the game. And once you, the bubble's gone. I just all I have is this energy to stop this. Not to mention now the amount of thousands of messages I get every day from every part of the city sending me photos.

There's parents that when they drive to school, all across the city, this is not just one unique area. They have to have their kids in the backseat staring at an iPad not to look out the window because meth addicts will just be having sex on the side of the street. There's just naked people everywhere now. And I say people naked zombies and the DEA will tell you 90% of these homeless people have a drug problem.

We have a drug addict problem. These aren't people that just like missed a paycheck and we need to get them help and get back to the end. This is a drug problem that needs mandatory treatment, not handing people needles and pipes and saying oh, here's a million dollar bed. You're a fentanyl zombie hanging upside down.

You don't care about a million dollar empty bed because you're just high. You sober up and you go get high again. But what are we talking about? It's good.

It's good to be pumped up. I mean, there's no other explanation other than extensive fraud. There's no way they could be getting that much money from our taxes and have this big of a problem with crime and homelessness. And it's almost like they want everybody to feel helpless.

They want you to feel like there's nothing to do so that it justifies throwing more money at the problem. So here it is. This is an LAist. Homelessness deal now under federal investigation.

So even in LA's famously overheated real estate market, the profit and quick turnaround on senior housing complex. And what's that word? Shev Yacht? Shev Yacht Hills?

Shev Yacht Hills? Do you know where that is? Neighborhood seems extraordinary. The man at the center of the deal since identified by federal prosecutors as Brentwood landlord and developer Steven Taylor bought the property on Shelby Drive in 2023 for 11.2 million purchase record shows.

Okay. So this is exactly what you're talking about. The $57.3 million to pay for that acquisition came from taxpayer grant funds authorized by city and state officials according to grant documentations, LA mayor Karen Bass and Governor Newsom touted the purchase as a key tool in the fight against homelessness. The fight against homelessness.

They're losing the deal called for Taylor's involvement to be kept secret according to a confidentiality clause included in the purchase contract obtained through a public records request that changed last month when federal authorities announced criminal charges against Taylor. He's accused of submitting fraudulent documents to borrow money from private lenders when he bought this and or and other properties. So news conference, Regent's top federal prosecutor, Bill, uh, say, say, say, say. He said the investigation is ongoing.

Taylor was arrested in August when the case was under seal and pleaded not guilty court record show. It's the first of the two known criminal cases brought so far by the federal task force, say, he assembled in April to investigate fraud and corruption around the use of billions of dollars earmarked to combat homelessness in Southern California. So these people are just buccaneers. They're just buccaneers.

This is a just a gigantic criminal enterprise that exists under this guise of, you know, being kind like. So that case only exists because of that. Mom Samantha spent it 7,500 of her own public records requests on that senior citizen home. That and an FBI came to start posting an FBI knocked on her door and said, can we meet with you?

And she gave them all of her files. That's what I was saying. The effects wouldn't even got that story if this woman Samantha from the Intelli project didn't do 7,000 public records or couldn't build this case on her own because she was what's going on in my next door neighbor.

Yeah. Yeah. 25 plus million dollars. So this is an extensive coordinated effort to siphon money.

100%. And again, there's plenty of money to stop homelessness. Karen Bass will tell you, let's use her low number, made up number, they go around and they count. There's a real thing.

They drive around and they do the homeless count. You can volunteer and you just count. Like, oh, wonder. That's how they do it?

Yes. They just had to count recently. So the count supposedly is, let's say 45,000. The Rand Corporation will say that count is 30% low.

I'll say that counts 100% low. But even so, let's say there's 100,000 homeless people in Los Angeles. 20 billion dollars. Okay, that's California.

Let's bring it down to in the last year to a couple billion dollars. We can't get people off the street with that much money. Just today, this DSA City Council member was doing a video she was bragging about. Oh, I just secured $16 million grant.

I love it, I used the grant. That's $16 million more of our tax money. And she is putting in little tiny homes next to somebody, just next to a normal street where again, this shouldn't be where that is. And it's housing approximately, I say, 60 people, whatever.

It was a quarter million dollars per person that they're bragging about. $250,000 a person can get anybody sober, a nice little condo or apartment for a year, potentially whatever job tools you need. So this idea that takes a quarter million dollars to put a tiny, it's everyone's getting a cut. It's like, again, it's like the mafia.

So there's a bunch of things going on. There's a bunch of employees that are getting paid. So getting paid substantial amounts of money. My friend, Coli, on the war found this out about San Francisco.

So he went up to San Francisco. He saw this homelessness. And he's a lawyer. But he doesn't know what's going on over there.

He's like, wow, what's going on? They need more money. He's like, no. No, no, no, no.

What's going on is they're actually incentivized to have more homeless people. Because the more homeless people, the bigger the bureaucracy grows. The bigger you can have your homeless foundation, your homeless task force, whatever it is. And these people are making $4 million a year plus.

Which is insane. He showed the list of the salaries of all these people. Like, how are you getting paid when the problem keeps getting worse? And all you're doing is hiring more people.

And they're getting paid more money, and more projects and more grants, and more homelessness. And it's not getting any better. But the money keeps coming in. So you're incentivized to keep the problem.

And increase it. Yes. More money. It's a business.

And people always talk. I grew up. And I had it was well where the military industrial complex. But even with that, they track the bombs.

And the fighter jets. It's even crazier because there's no, I think we serve. These are the words serve and cared for. They don't track results.

They say, oh, we house 1,400 people for a night, two nights. You know, it's not like we're getting people have bracelets, and we're tracking them, and they're going to air tags. We have no idea what's going on. So again, I keep saying, as mayor, I'll enforce the laws because you cannot be a crazed drug out of the zombie just running up naked on the street.

That is why I think God, our amazing Democrats in California made this year SB 43. And that means if you can't manage your own mental state, you can come in and have a hold, a cycle for 72 hours. And if it seems like, oh, this person needs real treatment, they can go to 45 days. And then it can go up to a year conservatorship.

And as mayor, what I keep telling people is once you start enforcing a lot, first off, people who just want to do drugs and live on the streets, they will leave LA. Because they'll see, oh, this mayor's not playing around. We need to go somewhere else. Or they're so crazy, and we're going to help them get medical treatment.

Or they're one of these dog abusing type people. And I'm going to put them under the jail to the point where, once they get from under the jail somehow, if they ever get out, they will never come back to LA. Because now they're been under the jail, and they're going to go under two times more until they end up in prison. Because if you abuse animals, once again, once you see what I've seen, we're talking their stapling dogs eyes closed.

I don't know. I can't even. It's insane. The shelter's alone, where the city is doing mass murder, because they're not giving these people enough funding.

And I'm convinced now they must make money off of euthanizing. So there's the street issue with the zombies abusing dogs. And then the city just mass murdering dogs, because they're not getting the proper funding and facilities. And they're not spaying and neutering and enforcing all the laws to keep street breeders from just flooding the streets with the dogs.

So back to you enforce the law. And this isn't impossible. I met with a lot of people that have real estate in Los Angeles, and they have real estate in San Francisco. And Mayor Lurry came in, and he started enforcing the law.

And just saying, you can't do this. And he has cleaned up the city pretty well. There's obviously people that say he's not doing enough. And again, I'm sorry, what city is this?

San Francisco. And so he took the call from the feds. And he said, I'm going to do this. And he's doing a solid job.

Again, I'm going whole next level, because I'm not concerned about optics. I'm not concerned about, oh, Spencer's doing this. He's so mean. No, what's mean is letting people live on the street and human poop and dying on the street.

And these people I run against, they're all the same. They go, oh, we need more housing. We need more affordable housing. We need more beds.

This isn't working. They just keep doubling down. Well, that's a false narrative. Everybody knows it's not a housing problem.

It's not what it is. It's a drug abuse and mental health problem. That's all it is. It's not a housing problem.

That's a flat out lie. And anybody who says that should be shamed. When they say, we need more affordable housing. Well, you're fucking lying.

And you're part of the problem. If you're saying it's just an affordable housing problem, that means either you are a part of the propaganda narrative. And you've been told to say this or you're in on it. 100%.

And at this point, it's fucking nuts. It's good, bro. It's 50 blocks. It can't even be called a skid-round anymore.

It's called Los Angeles. Every community. Every time I have a house burned down in the palisades, my wife was ready to move because every morning, in front of palisades elementary, that then burned down and across three of my sons, preschool and Methodist. There was a lady cleaning her private parts in front of kids at 745 in the morning.

You call LAPD, they pull up and they go, you don't know what? Because they can't enforce all. She'd go around the corner and she'd go number two in front of Joe's barbershop. I would know because I had to step over the number two because I'd always park right near Joe's barbershop.

So it's not skid-roll. It's everywhere. So the police are told not to do anything about it. Is that what it is?

If you don't enforce a law, what are they going to do? Right. If you're a city attorney, if the mayor is not telling the city attorney to prosecute all these misdemeanors, put these people in mandatory hold. If you are cleaning your private parts in front of kids and you're a normal citizen, you are going to jail.

You're going to be on the citizens app as a sex offender. But the consequences for the zombie people, they don't have them. That's crazy. It's not fair for all the normal tax paying people in Los Angeles that we have to abide by laws.

And then there's a whole class that's anarchy. It's psycho. It's so weird to see, you know, because I lived in LA for so long. And when I first moved there in the 90s, there was nothing like this.

It was nice. But that was it. There was some crime, but it wasn't that bad. And everything just keeps getting worse and worse and worse.

And it didn't seem really bad until, well, Skid Row was always bad. And Skid Row was bad on purpose. So for people that don't know, and we looked into this because I found out about Skid Row, I knew it existed, but I found out about it when we were filming Fear Factor. So one day, because we filmed a lot in downtown LA and a lot of these abandoned warehouses and buildings.

And we were in one of these warehouses, and we left the set and I drove home and I took a wrong turn. And I went down near the outskirts of Skid Row. And it's hard to believe that it's real, if you haven't seen it. When you're talking just blocks and blocks and blocks where there's nothing but homeless people, just people on the streets, camped out, wandering through the streets, there's no cars, driving whatsoever, garbage everywhere.

And the idea that that's never been cleaned up is fucking insane. So what we found out is that that was an area a long time ago where they started moving people. I don't know when was this. This was the Jerome Hotel, right?

That's what we talked about. That's what it was. So there was a document around the Jerome Hotel. And when we looked into it, it turns out that what they would do is they would find vagrants, which was the old school term for it.

And they'd find them in Beverly Hills or Hollywood. And they would just move them to downtown LA to Skid Row and leave them there and keep them there. The idea was to keep them there. They had food there for them.

They had kitchens. They let them camp out on the street to stay here. And it ruined Cecil, the Cecil Hotel. That's right.

So Cecil Hotel was like this beautiful hotel that existed in downtown LA. And now it's just like it's in Zombieland. And the whole area is filled with fucking just everything around it is homeless. The sheer volume of it is impossible to describe unless you go there and see it.

And the fact that that's never been addressed, that no one does anything about it. And it's gotten to 50 entire blocks of nothing but homeless people, no businesses, no nothing, nothing's functioning. It's all just taken over by zombies. I went to USC and I lived in a loft on Skid Row, the top of the Old Bank District.

So in 2003, that was my street that would pull in and park. Very good deal. That's why I was like this is back at a entire penthouse. Why don't you know, I didn't get it.

It's funny why it was so cheap. But so I've seen the progression to the point where it's insane. And again, this is fixable. There's so much money.

We already paying for it. These people in charge don't want to fix it. It's clear. And they'll continue doubling down.

They need somebody to come and say, oh, we're done with this. And that's why I'm excited to actually be a mayor that's in these streets. And here's what they keep saying. Oh, you can't do this because the city council, they're all in on it.

90% of them because they have four of these socialist DSA members on the city council that actually want to destroy our way of life unless they want to do that. Why do you think they want to do that? Because they're socialists. Go on the DSA, Democratic Socialist America's website.

And they're not Democrats. They hate Democrats. They use the word to hide their true agenda of socialism. So they want to keep taking as much of our tax money and the main lady I was talking about, that 60 million, she's one of these DSA people.

She's bragging about taking $16 million of our tax money to give 40 plus people or 50 people, 250,000 each to live in a tiny home. That is not a working solution. We need to have a plan to get these people back into society, not bankroll an entire existence of Los Angeles where we're like, oh, you can just be a drug addict. And we're going to pay for you because.

Yeah, this is the problem with that narrative that the rich people aren't paying enough. And this is one of the things that I've seen progressive podcasters talk about the wealth tax. And they were talking about imposing a wealth tax on billionaires. And they're like, stop being greedy.

Pay your fair share. Like, what is your fair share and where is it going? Like, if you could show me that an increase in taxes would fix all the problems, I said this when I lived there, I wouldn't mind paying more taxes if they fixed everything. But it doesn't seem like it fixes anything.

Not one thing gets fixed. And they keep asking for more money, which is crazy. The solution is, cut it all off. One of the things that Texas has, no state taxes.

There's no state taxes. You don't pay state taxes in Texas. In California, you pay 14%. So they're incentivized to take that money and do with it whatever they want.

And so the more they can come up with, like building tiny homes or whatever the fuck it is, it's just incentives for them to siphon money. And again, as mayor, I want to have full accountability and transparency where that's what everybody that's paying. If there's a lot of good people that are fine with paying as much tax they want if you're helping people, get off the street, if the lights work, if the street works. If there's less crime, I'm gonna say for the size of this clean.

So we attract every single dollar and make sure that there's no waste and abuse. And with that type of live dashboard, not track it with these weird data, I'm talking, anyone can understand, this money goes here. And we're talking real accounting. They don't want to do this because everyone's eating, everyone's getting a cut.

All these people are living off of the scam. So you need to come in and really just send no more of this. Well, so let's talk real world practical application. So you get into office, now you have all these council members, these democratic socialist people.

How do you handle that? What do you do? How do you keep them from blocking all these things you're trying to do? So that is what excites me because there's never been a mayor that comes in and literally goes to each of their constituents of these districts.

For instance, this DSA member wants to keep giving the fentanyl needles and the pipes. Now go to that district. I have a press conference. I bring everybody I say, this so and so, it wants to keep these zombies going number two and having sex in front of your kids and put the heat on the city council members.

Right now they care about their jobs. They get 238,000 a year salary. They get not even including their entourage. Then they get our grants and our tax money for all their little scams they're running.

So they actually want those jobs. If a mayor comes in and is like, oh, I'm going to put the heat on each one of you because right now, the mayor of Kiranbas isn't calling out each district and their failures. This constituents, the taxpayers need somebody to come in and expose each of these districts and go into their communities and be like, this is what you're voting for. So at least at the next election, they're out.

So then once they start feeling the pressure, somebody on their neck, they're going to start, I don't want to keep my job. I like this power. But there's been a concerted effort to put those people in the government, right? And a lot of people point to George Soros and he's one of them and his Open Society Foundation is one of the people that likes to do that, particularly for very progressive prosecutors and DAs.

But there's more than just him. There's a whole machine behind it. And this is what I don't understand. Because if you wanted to destroy a city, if you wanted to destroy a society, you would do it exactly the way they're doing it.

So what is their incentive? And why are they doing it this way? Well, they want to destroy it to then rebuild it in their vision. The second my town burned down and it's all dirt, who's coming in with ideas?

Oh, we got 100 million for affordable housing. We're going to do this. They have a plan. They have a vision that's not going to work, but they have their utopia that they would love to then rebuild.

How do you say it's not going to work? What's going to stop them from doing that? The socials and the bail everywhere. I would say it's certainly going to fail.

But what's to stop them from ruining the palisades? Well, I did. I stopped them. They can say that SB 79 or whatever their housing thing was never going to apply to the palisades.

But after me attacking it all day for weeks, they added 13 notes and made the palisades a fire hazard area where you couldn't build high density. Because what they do, there's a new state law that just got passed. And if you're, again, these aren't exact all the yimbees, they're going to go nuts. I'm saying it wrong.

Is it yimbe? Something about your backyard. Who knows? I don't know.

There I have to block them usually on social media. But they have a vision that everything in California and Los Angeles should be high density. How they need to build these seven nine story structures have more affordable housing. So they want to get rid of single family homes and put seven story buildings on.

So the nimbees, not in my backyard. They fight these people on X. So to be honest, I'm not either of them. They try to.

I'm fine with more housing. But I also want people to have single family homes. And I think the fact that we lost the idea where we can't fight for the California dream to have a front yard with grass. And it's gotten so expensive and impossible.

That should be the problem. Not that, oh, we've given up. Nobody should ever get that. We need to build these seven story prison-like structures and give anyone who can't afford just a box to live in.

Let's fight to get the California where people have a front yard and grass. It's also insane to try to do that with the palisades. Because the palisades has always been a wealthy neighborhood where people with a lot of money spent a lot of money and also paid a lot of money in taxes and had these beautiful homes. And the idea that you're going to take that over with low-income housing, well, those people are going to move out of there.

And there goes the tax money from those people. Not only that, those people lost their homes. Their homes were taken from them by the fire. And that's not fair.

It's not fair at all that you would just do that. It doesn't make any sense. I like to use the word stolen. The houses were stolen from all these people.

I'm misconception, though, because I'm from the palisades. And I grew up, the palisades just became this wealthy or wealthier famous people in the last, let's say, 10 years, but growing up. That's it, really? Yeah, like 10 years?

Where we're talking big $40 million type big houses. I thought it was always like that. No, it was nice. It was nice.

But lawyers and doctors, not Silicon Valley and movies. Hardworking people passed these houses down, generations. So there were nice houses, but your great grandfather probably passed the house down. And my dad's a dentist, he came in.

He was a surfing dentist and was able to get a house in the palisades. That's a beautiful area. It's gorgeous area. Amazing weather.

People should know that an area bigger than the size of Manhattan burnt to the ground. So let's go back. Let's do the fire. That's a great way.

We haven't even touched on it. Nobody's really talked about what happened, how this fire started, why we're on the fire. So people think about the palisades fire. And they go, oh, January 7.

Well, what happened? The fire for January 7 actually started on New Year's Eve. So there's a case right now. It's kind of falling through the cracks.

It may not go forward. There's arson cases, supposedly, allegedly. This guy lit a fire at New Year's Eve with a lighter or cigarette. And there was eight acre fire.

Now, according to witness testimony, it's about 30 people that saw fireworks go into this site called Lockman, Skoll Rock. So at New Year's Eve, eight acre fire starts, LAFD responds. But the issue with people don't understand, when they respond, they can't come up there with heavy dozer. So dozer, like a bulldozer, has a rake types thing on the front.

And they clear around the fire. And they make a fire break, even when the fire is going. Ideally, you'd want the fire break before, which because of California state parks and plant over people policies, we don't have fire breaks. So dead fuels, dead brush has been growing around lots of communities for 50, 60 years.

So right now, the palisades burn down. What's next is Brentwood, Hollywood Hills, Sunland, Dehunga, what else? Belair, all these are going there. I'm sorry, people you live here.

They're all going to burn down. If we don't come in here, make fire breaks up 300 feet. Because when I met with Chief Bobby Garcia and I asked him about fire breaks, the purpose of the fire break is to give firefighters a chance to dig in. And when they drop the retardant, if there's not a 300 foot break, then all the retard just falls through the different levels of the foliage.

And it doesn't make a moat. So when you have a break, it creates a moat type situation. And now the firefighters have a chance to get up there and respond. So back to January 1st.

They couldn't bring their dozers up. We now have text messages because, again, I'm one of the lead plaintiffs suing the CLA, LA, DWP, and the state of California, state parks. So I have all the text message public now that we have the text from the park rangers, LAFD, and they're joking about, of course, I'm not bringing any dozers. I know the rule, protected plants.

Keep in mind, I never knew about this plant. It's called the milk vech. Nobody respectfully cares about milk vech. But somebody in the environmental world cares more about milk vech than 12 people burning alive because the plant that was protected is the reason pretty much these people burned alive.

So they do their best. LAFD puts it out. But now we know that the fire was still smoldering. We have hiking footage of the next day and the day after in the state park, to paying a state park, hikers, tourists.

We have a guy live down the street. Of course, he had his own drone that had not only a regular drone, he had a thermal inimaging drone. So the whole hillside is just smoking. And we now have a firefighter pike on his subpoena video.

He says that he clearly saw smoldering pockets of coal that he didn't want to touch. And he informed his chief, hey, we can't pull the hoses. And the chief said, pull the hoses, not just pike. Multiple firefighters have now said that it was all smoking.

But why would they pull the hoses? After meeting with so many firefighters since I've realized the fire department is so understaffed, so underfunded, they're operating a fire department from the 1960s with 50% more calls now. 80% of them are for zombies to overdoses. 30% of the fires are zombie encampment fires.

So to me now, I'm trying to get in that chief. I spoke with that chief on the phone. And in my mind, it's a budget thing. Everything's just like, oh, we don't have clocks ticking.

We don't have the money to stay up here with the hoses. Because three years earlier, the same area in the Highlands, I think they left the hoses up in the palis for 18 months. You leave the hoses up because it stays hot and they have them up. They pulled them the next day.

So I think it's a funny thing. I mean, the chief, Chief Crowley, who mayor of As fired in retaliation for telling the truth, seven weeks before the palis is fired, she wrote a memo to Karen Bass and said, I am dangerously underfunded. I cannot keep Angelina safe. What does mayor of As knew cuts another 17 million from the fire department?

So in my mind, the chief's like, I can't, I don't have the money to leave guys up here. We got to go. So has anyone asked her what was her justification for the cuts? Well, he's broke.

He has no money. But hardly have so much money to buy homes and homeless shelters. It's been all that money. Here's the best part.

I've now found out since then there was $400 million just in an account that they hadn't even touched for homeless. Literally at the time she cut the 17 million, there's 400 million that right now is still there that they haven't used allocated 400 million. So it's they got it for the zombies, not for the tax paying citizens public safety, not to mention back to the taxpayers. The palisades probably is largely at the time of the fire.

It's probably the most money in taxes was going to the city from the palisades. So you know, back to back to lockmen. So they leave because if you listen to their testimony, the state park rangers say, oh, we got this. We'll keep an eye on this.

Da da da da. In the subpoena, the depositions asked one of the state park rangers, well, did you see the smoldering hill? They say, oh, yeah, what'd you do? Oh, I took a photo.

What'd you do with the photo? Nothing. What do you mean? Well, I'm not a firefighter.

So the state parks, oh, manual says they're supposed to close this park to make sure it's not a dangerous condition, obviously, and to monitor it. Did they close the state park? No worse. Yes, what the state park rangers ask the firefighters to do and their photos.

It's mind-boggling. They ask the firefighters to take dead brush and fuel, and they carry it. And they put it over the fire break from a day earlier around where they made the fire break around that January. They take the dead bushes, and they cover up the fire break.

There's photos of it. It's the craziest thing you've ever seen. Because they didn't want people to go on the wrong trails, because they look like hiking trails now. So they take.

If you wanted to be cynical, do you think that having this $400 million and keeping it in there and keeping funnily money into homelessness and not into the fire department is simply because the fire department is not profitable. You can't siphon money off of the fire department. The fire department basically just goes to fight fires. It goes to equipment, people's salaries, maintaining the fire departments.

You can't steal that money. You want to know how sick it is right now? The fire department, LAFD, their union, all the members, you're like choked up. I feel so because I met with these, you know, I keep meeting with these guys and you hear from their heart.

You're like, oh, this is so heavy. They had to take their own money to get on ballot measure, a million dollars. They all pulled it together to get a ballot measure. This coming election to get a half cent on sales tax in LA so that they could have money to fund actual things they need to keep a cent on all the, but the point is they need to go out of their own pocket to get a ballot measure because they know they will never get funded by the city to keep Angelino safe that they got to go out of it.

But there's only one way to look at it. You would look at it like, well, what would be the logical reason why they would allocate so much money towards homelessness and so little towards the fire department? When the fire department is, you know, I've said this before, but you want to talk about like socialism that works. The fire department is socialism that works.

If you really care about socialism, that's the thing you really believe in, there's certain aspects of socialism that are applicable in a healthy community. One was the fire department, that your money should go, we should pull some of our taxes to go to make sure that we're all protected. The fire department doesn't just protect the rich people, protects all people. Fire's break out, the fire department comes in, regardless whether you have any money or not.

We all pull our money together for the fire department. It makes sense. But if it's that, you can't steal that money, right? So there's no way you can fix, the homelessness is, it's vague, it's weird, you can hide it, it's like you're counting bodies on the street, oh, one, two, three, let's write 5,000.

Like you don't have like real accounting these people because it's so chaotic, but fire department, you know the employees, you know the fire department, you know where the trucks are, you know where everything is, you can't steal that money, but that homeless budget, boy, there's a lot of wiggle room in that homeless budget. And if you wanted to be cynical, you would say, that's why they fund the fire department so little. And they fund the homeless so much. Well, also these DSA socialists, they don't want to fund the fire department, they don't want to fund the police department, they want these type of entities to be defunded.

They don't want to make this. It's on it. So what do they expect when fires happen? To let it.

Right now they want things just to burn. If you look around and say, how the fuck do these people get in office? Like who's voting for them? They're tricky, they have these ground teams and they go around, they got a real ground game and they go knock on all people's doors and they say, oh, we're Democrats, we helped them, they have nice words and they got a strong, like in LA, I think there's 5,000 at least members, they can hit the street.

Whereas a normal, for instance, Spencer Pratt, right from here, I don't have 5,000 people on deck to go knock on doors and not to mention they're funded. They have 100,000 plus members across the US. They have outside entities to give them money. And again, they're sneaky.

If you go watch on YouTube videos, they talk so much SHIT about Democrats, Republic. They hate all these people. So they don't want either party, they want them. Here's the craziest part, this should be illegal.

Right now, the one who's running against me, they're Democrat, socialist, champagne queen. She, when you sign up with the DSA, you sign it like a contract to co-govern with the DSA. How is it legal when you are? What?

Explain that. So when you become, you become your DSA member. So right now she's a city council member. And when the DSA gives you an endorsement, you sign a contract with them to co-govern.

So right now, she's not representing her district as an American citizen in a Los Angeles. She's representing the Democrats, socialist of America. Wow. Now should be co-governed.

That should be illegal. And so they can just go full hand with all these radical ideas. Yeah, and their idea is to just come in, take all of our tax money and keep trying to invent this. They've had, like for instance, that lady has had six years in charge of her city council.

Her thousands of her constituents message me photos. It looks like, again, Mad Max in her area. So we're going to put her in charge. The only thing worse actually than the Cuban communist Karen Bass is actually a socialist DSA.

So I'm running against worse and worse. It's truly. It's Karen Bass running for reelection. Yeah, that's why I stepped in.

And I saw her announce. I was like, oh, no, you don't get to burn my house down. Do people, like what is the general population? Like what, I think most people have jobs and families and they're busy.

They're very busy. So it's very difficult to be completely informed about all this. What is the general perception of Karen Bass? Like what is her approval rating in Los Angeles?

So she has a record lowest approval rating in the history right now. I just said, Paul, about a week ago, I'm number two to Karen Bass. She has approximately 20 something percent. I think I have 13% with 40% undecided.

Those 40% I keep saying, those are my voters. Those are people that are fed up. They know they're not voting for Karen Bass. They just don't know.

There's a guy named Spencer Pratt that's saying, we need common sense. We need to clean these streets. No more fentanyl at the park. Parents need to feel comfortable taking their kids to school without seeing meth zombies having sex on the side of the street.

We're talking common sense. This is not political, what I'm running on, not to mention. The mayor is a nonpartisan race. There's no letters on it for a reason.

The mayor is supposed to represent all of Los Angeles. It's not a, you'll never get me ever doing these performative politics, talking about national issues, doing the bait and switch stuff. We're all talking about over here why I destroy your actual local government. That's the problem.

Everyone gets caught up in the media and they follow what's going on in different states and different politics and the federal government. When the people that really affect your life who are destroying your way of life are your local government, your mayor, your city council, your fire commission, your police commission. When I'm mayor, I'm wiping out this fire commission. We're putting actual experts that know what they're talking about, not these rando political pointing lunatics.

Same with the police commission. You know, people that pride themselves in law enforcement and want accountability and want the best from the police department. You know, the police department is the lowest it's been in 30 years in Los Angeles. And here's my favorite thing in terms of staff.

Yeah, it's in terms of police officers. Thirty years. Thirty years. Here's the best part.

They'll tell you the mayor said crime is down. I have truly, because I spend all day long just reading the other. It's down in terms of it's reporting. Thank you.

Every message I get, they say call 911. You'll be on hold for God knows how long if they ever pick up. If it's literally not like somebody's getting shot at that moment, you know, if you're trying to report crime or this, they're not coming. Nobody's filing it.

They don't have the staff to be doing that. So the real prime numbers are so insane, not to mention, Karen Bass will brag about homicides or down. First off, that's a national trend. She's taking credit for the whole United States down, but I even have another angle on that.

I'd have to go prior to some emergency hospitals. But I think Los Angeles has such good trauma nurses and trauma doctors, the amount of stabbings and shootings they probably keep people alive. That's the real number. You know, maybe 30 years ago before we were so good with quick clot and, you know, and you know, we have so much stuff now that keeps people alive.

Just on the Metro alone, the stabbings are... Everything is double last year. So these people are living, but everyone's getting stabbed ever. I keep joking that everyone loved that guy in New York, Mondami or whatever his name is, because he said everything's going to be free.
