00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.717
a candidate for the governor
of California who is extremely unique in a

00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:06.637
number of ways. First of all, he's a

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:10.237
Republican. And second, he's a Brit.

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.957
Welcome to the program, Steve Helton.

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:17.117
It's [music] a joke. I mean, what are
these Democrats doing? We already have

00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:21.837
the highest [music] taxes in the country.
Your first 100 grand tax-free.

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:23.597
Even Katie Porter agrees with that.

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:27.597
>> Prior to that, he was in Silicon Valley
as a tech entrepreneur. People are so

00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:30.797
sick of the nonsense. Is everything
twice as good when they've [music]

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:32.477
doubled the budget? Of course not.

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.117
California means to America what America

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.517
means [music] to the world. Please

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:43.940
welcome Steve Hilton. [music]

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.840
[applause] [music]

00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:55.357
Wake up. Wake up, buddy. Let's go.

00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:59.357
>> Hi. >> All right.
Wake up, California. We have

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:02.637
seven weeks to save our state.
Are you ready?

00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:05.517
>> Are we going to do it?

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:09.037
We got seven weeks. That's all. But we

00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:09.917
can do it.

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.197
>> Seven weeks. Um,
there's a lot of people

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.597
here who aren't from California.

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.437
>> Well, actually, who's from California?

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:23.917
Raise your hand. Some >> res

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.917
California. Yeah. What's but but help

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.957
explain why California is so important.

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.717
>> California is not
just the biggest state

00:01:32.800 --> 00:01:35.517
uh the richest state and the richest

00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:36.877
most important country on earth. It's

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:40.477
it's as I said just then and and you saw

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.797
California means to America what America
means to the world. I'm an immigrant

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:46.957
moved here in 2012

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.477
neighbors with Chamath. So how about

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.557
that? I picked a good spot. Um and

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.917
I was inspired by this state. It

00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.597
represents for me and for so many people

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.397
over the like century plus that this state
has been growing and leading in so

00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.557
many ways the absolute essence of what

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.037
we love about America. innovation and

00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.357
energy and ambition and hustle and that

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:17.837
kind of rebel spirit that that create
that's why we've created so many

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:21.837
industries here that have completely
transformed the world starting right

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:25.917
here in Los Angeles over a century ago
the entertainment industry obviously

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.157
tech that you're all so familiar with

00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.717
but also our great a we have the leading

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.037
agriculture industry in the world we've

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.677
in so many different fields we have led

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:41.357
the world that's why it's so important
We don't let California go down any

00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:44.957
further. >> What is the
state of the state then?

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:49.357
>> This state, I'm afraid, despite all our
incredible advantages, and of course, we

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:52.797
still have them. The things that the
people in charge haven't managed yet to

00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:55.837
ruin, um, our incredible natural beauty

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:00.237
and the weather and the energy that you
see in our startup communities, the best

00:03:00.320 --> 00:03:03.917
innovation ecosystem anywhere in the
world, great universities. But look at

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.797
the facts. We've had 16 years of one
party in control. Today in California,

00:03:08.880 --> 00:03:12.477
we have the highest poverty rate in the
country, the highest unemployment rate,

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.477
the highest cost of living by far.
Look at how you we have housing cost the

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.597
highest in the country. That's why
people are leaving. They are leaving.

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.277
Millions of people leaving California.

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.597
This beautiful place.
>> You got two right here.

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.917
>> And exactly. You've got now Chief

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.717
Executive Magazine has ranked California

00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.117
in its annual survey of business leaders

00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.997
for more than a decade 50th out of 50

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.997
for business climate. It's just

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.517
incredible when you look at the range of

00:03:39.600 --> 00:03:41.997
issues where the policies that we've

00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.037
been subjected to have just

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.717
>> created the worst outcomes. Not just um

00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.397
bad in comparison to other states,
the worst out of every state. So look, we

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:54.157
know we know how you measure the

00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.277
outcome, but go go back a few layers and

00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.757
think about just the root causes.

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.997
Democrats have run this state for a long

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.877
time. Democrats used to be sort of like

00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.037
peace and love and permissiveness and

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.357
openness. Um, so just

00:04:11.440 --> 00:04:15.277
corral that for us because I think this
is a place now that has become rules on

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.277
top of rules on top of rules. How did
a group of people who basically were just

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.197
like peace and love and leave us alone

00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:23.117
become the rule police?

00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:26.797
>> It's ex exactly right. Um we this is

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:31.197
what happens with one party rule
actually and you see that in history. um

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:32.877
whether it's on the from the right or

00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:35.677
the left, it always ends up with a kind

00:04:35.760 --> 00:04:39.517
of insular self- reggarding elite that

00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.077
just forgets about their responsibility

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.557
to everyone else and just just gets

00:04:44.640 --> 00:04:47.197
obsessed with their own ideology, their

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:51.597
internal motivations that whoever their
interest groups are that they represent.

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.517
And by the way, in Sacramento, we have
one of the most corrupt systems anywhere

00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.757
in in in the country in terms of the
power of the donors to the politicians

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:04.397
who make the decisions, the the unions,
the uh the trial lawyers. That's why we

00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.997
have the worst litigation risk anywhere
in the country. You run a business in

00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:11.677
California. You start a business
in California, 90% chance you're going to

00:05:11.760 --> 00:05:13.837
end up in litigation. So, it's just a

00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.677
complete mess when you get one party

00:05:15.760 --> 00:05:19.357
rules. Now, um 16 years, the Democrats

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:22.237
have run everything. all eight statewide

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:26.877
elected positions, the state legislature
with a two-thirds majority, every big

00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:30.477
county, every big city,
the state supreme court with a 6-1

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.717
Democrat-appointed majority. So, this is

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.037
what happens. The rules get piled up

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.157
because every year they pass legislation

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.237
that just adds to the burden and the

00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:42.877
bloat. Last year, the the the Sacramento

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:46.717
legislature passed 1,118

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.597
bills. So, we printed them out. I did an

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.917
>> Very productive. We'd very exact
productivity going up there. We're going

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.757
to we're going to be doing this year's
in Sacramento on Thursday. We printed it

00:05:57.840 --> 00:05:59.597
all out. I mean, I'm not that tall, but

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.957
it was twice my height. Okay. Nobody's

00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.197
reading this. You think Gavin Newsome is

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:07.917
reading all this before signing it? No.

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.437
It's written in the interests of the

00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:14.877
narrow groups that control that process

00:06:14.960 --> 00:06:19.197
and it benefits them but hurts everybody
else. That's why we have by far the

00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:23.517
highest regulatory blow. That's why
one of the things I'm announcing today

00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:28.237
actually is that we're going to cut the
number of regulations in California from

00:06:28.320 --> 00:06:32.957
where we are today, which is over 420,000
by the end of my first term to under

00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:37.277
200,000, which makes us competitive
with the rest of the country.

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.437
Now, what but if if there's a if there's

00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:42.077
a nar if there's a narrow interest group

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.797
that controls the legislature, is it not

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:49.277
also the case that that narrow interest
group controls the machinery that I

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.037
would argue doesn't necessarily elect
people, but appoints people, which makes

00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.437
it difficult for rational outsiders to

00:06:55.520 --> 00:07:00.317
have a shot at a true kind of democratic
campaign. that they own the ballot

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:03.757
harvesting machines, that they own
the campaigning machines, that they get

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:06.877
everyone in the state behind them, all
the unions, all the votes, everything is

00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:09.517
aligned under one controlled mechanism.

00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.957
And therefore, it is at this point
gotten so far down the road that is

00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.997
impenetrable and we
cannot actually break in.

00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:18.317
>> Well, it's definitely the case that we

00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:21.197
have this very uh powerful and corruptly

00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:25.597
funded machine that's running every
I agree with that. In fact, one of the

00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.957
ways that we're telling the story
of this campaign is the people versus the

00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.797
machine. That's what this is.
But there's a majority of Californians who

00:07:32.880 --> 00:07:37.357
want change. That's clear from every
single poll. When we started the general

00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:41.677
election part of this campaign, if you
look at the primary results on primary

00:07:41.760 --> 00:07:43.677
night in California in the governor's

00:07:43.760 --> 00:07:45.757
race, uh if you add up the myself and

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:49.037
the other Republican, that's um 35%. I

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.197
got 25%, the other Republican 10. You

00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:53.837
add up all the Democrats, 65%. That's a

00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:58.397
30point gap. The first poll came out,
it was a 25point gap. I know a lot of

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.317
people were discouraged by that, but we
were just beginning our campaign. And

00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:03.837
look what's happened just in the last

00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.997
couple of months from a 30point gap on

00:08:06.080 --> 00:08:09.357
primary night to 25 points, 18 points,

00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:14.477
uh 14 points. The latest poll,
an 8 point gap. We are showing that people

00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:18.077
want change in this state. And I just
don't accept that we have to put up with

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.237
this. And your only choice is to put up

00:08:20.320 --> 00:08:23.117
with all this nonsense and bloat and tax

00:08:23.200 --> 00:08:28.077
and cost and all the hassles of living
here or trying to work here. Uh your

00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.677
only choice is to put up with it or

00:08:29.760 --> 00:08:33.437
leave. That's if I may say so as a new

00:08:33.520 --> 00:08:36.397
American citizen. That's a very

00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.877
unAmerican attitude that it can't be

00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.277
done, that we can't make change happen.

00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.437
We've got to fight for it. There are

00:08:43.520 --> 00:08:47.517
plenty of people who um believe that the

00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:52.157
state needs change. We just have to show
in the next seven weeks that change

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.237
really is possible. If we get more
votes, we'll win. It's quite simple.

00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.077
>> Steve, why do you
think that people feel

00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:01.357
that it would be almost a betrayal

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:06.717
though, even if they want change to not,
you know, vote Democrat? Why is that?

00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:10.317
There there there seems to be in
California, at least as I've lived it, a

00:09:10.400 --> 00:09:15.117
lot of very rational people who feel
sort of out of place. They're not quite

00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.677
sure whether they should be a Republican.
They're made to feel guilty

00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:21.437
for not being completely a Democrat.
So, they either don't vote or they just go

00:09:21.520 --> 00:09:23.117
in and they find the D and check the

00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:27.037
box. Um and so all of the insanity sort

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.637
of compounds. And if that if
that continues to happen,

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.397
don't we need to hit rock bottom? Like
isn't there going to be some financial

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.797
event or otherwise that
needs to happen to reset?

00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:40.157
>> I got to tell you, I think it's pretty
rock bottom now in terms of what it's

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.597
actually like to live here. I mean,
I traveled this state. I've been to every

00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:47.917
one of our 58 counties. No candidate's
done that in a very long time. I see

00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:49.837
we've done hundreds of events, town

00:09:49.920 --> 00:09:51.917
halls up and down the state. Every

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.117
single day, I see this the the just the

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:59.517
pain and the struggle in people's eyes
to live here. I mean, look, we house you

00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:03.917
try and own a home here. We used to have
the highest rate of home ownership in

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:08.237
the country in California and the most
affordable housing. Now the median house

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.797
price in California is nearly a million

00:10:10.880 --> 00:10:13.117
dollars. The median salary in California

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.757
for an individual 65,000. I mean it's

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:20.397
just completely broken. And people are
broken by this and they are desperate

00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.237
for change. The number one thing that
people say to me when I'm out and about

00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.437
and where they come up to in the airport
or the street wherever we are at my

00:10:27.520 --> 00:10:32.397
events it's not good luck, hope you do
well. There's an intensity this year.

00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.677
The number one, it's almost word for word.
This is what everyone says to me.

00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:37.997
I've heard it even here backstage. You

00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.957
have to win. There's an intensity about

00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:46.157
it this year. Um, and I think that this
is the year we can really do that. Just

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.717
to your point about Democrats,
that's true that you've had this habit of

00:10:50.800 --> 00:10:55.517
voting Democrat even though the results
have been increasingly disappointing.

00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.517
But I think that's changing. I'm just I

00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.837
don't know. I give Friday 911. I was at

00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:02.957
the 911 memorial event in Sacramento.

00:11:03.040 --> 00:11:07.277
Not there participating. I was just
there to show my respects. I took my

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.917
seat in the back. Um, people came up to

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.517
me, take pictures and so on as they

00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.877
often do. Just there just randomly in a

00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.357
pretty small event. I had a number of

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.837
people, must been four or five people

00:11:19.920 --> 00:11:22.557
just randomly all almost said the same

00:11:22.640 --> 00:11:25.197
word for word thing. I'm a lifelong

00:11:25.280 --> 00:11:27.197
Democrat, but I'm voting for you this

00:11:27.280 --> 00:11:30.477
year. It's just I think we have reached

00:11:30.560 --> 00:11:33.757
that point and I' that's why I'm saying

00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.677
we got to wake up because the other

00:11:35.760 --> 00:11:39.277
thing I hear all the time from business

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.837
leaders or business owners every single

00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:44.797
day is if you don't make it in November,

00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:47.677
we're out. And I'm just serious about

00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:52.077
this. If we if we think that it's bad

00:11:52.160 --> 00:11:54.317
now, I think that the exodus of business

00:11:54.400 --> 00:11:56.637
that we've seen from California in the

00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:01.837
last couple of years, if we don't show
some change here and some balance in our

00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:05.917
system, it's going to turn into
a stampede for the exits. It really is. I

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.717
think this is a now or never
election for California.

00:12:08.800 --> 00:12:11.677
>> Let's let's talk about the metrics and

00:12:11.760 --> 00:12:14.237
the path to victory here. Poly market

00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:16.637
has you at 5% chance of winning. The

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.197
actual polls have you as close as 8% to

00:12:19.280 --> 00:12:22.077
20%. And it's incredibly polarized. You

00:12:22.160 --> 00:12:25.037
have 90% or 89% of Republican voters.

00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:29.897
Okay, mission accomplished. You've only
got 30% of independents work to do. And

00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:31.677
[snorts] then if you look at Democrats,

00:12:31.760 --> 00:12:34.797
you've got less than 10%. So you've

00:12:34.880 --> 00:12:39.197
captured the Republicans making some
headway with independents, but you're

00:12:39.280 --> 00:12:43.117
not making, aside from the anecdotal
stories you're telling us, massive

00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.517
headway with these Democrats yet. But

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.317
you have one debate September 30th

00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:52.877
versus Bisera. What do you have to do
in that debate to change the narrative and

00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.277
to shake this up? >> What's the plan?

00:12:55.360 --> 00:13:00.077
>> No, it's a great question. It's the
question in many ways. Um, and I'll just

00:13:00.160 --> 00:13:03.837
give you our metric and our numbers,
which is, you know, we wanted to see

00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:06.717
what is the pathway to victory for real.

00:13:06.800 --> 00:13:10.957
So, this is not us cooking the numbers
at all. This is a poll that we took

00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:12.637
right at the beginning of the of the

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.957
campaign when it's clear that it was

00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:18.717
myself and uh Javier Bera and these are

00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:23.357
the numbers. 33% solidly with me, 41%

00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.557
solidly with Basera, 26%

00:13:26.640 --> 00:13:30.557
um up for grabs. Now most of that 26%

00:13:30.640 --> 00:13:33.437
have voted Democrat before, but they are

00:13:33.520 --> 00:13:38.157
not committed Democrats. They are open
to persuasion. And then you ask, well,

00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:42.237
who are those people and what are
they focused on? Overwhelmingly,

00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.557
uh, non-oleducated, regular
working people in California who

00:13:46.640 --> 00:13:51.517
are at breaking point financially.
And they're overwhelming interest is

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.717
practical things to help with the
cost of living. And that's what our

00:13:54.800 --> 00:13:58.157
campaign's been all about, not just in

00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.197
specific, but since the beginning of the

00:14:01.280 --> 00:14:05.997
campaign. And I can tell you what it
is very simply. um to reduce the bloat and

00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:09.597
the waste in our budget. They've doubled
the budget of the state of California in

00:14:09.680 --> 00:14:12.957
the last 10 years with two million
people having left the state.

00:14:13.040 --> 00:14:16.797
Everything's gotten worse. We're going
to cancel highspeed rail. We're going to

00:14:16.880 --> 00:14:19.937
have a 10% headcount reduction

00:14:20.020 --> 00:14:24.077
[applause] in the government.
5% efficiency many other things. Stop the

00:14:24.160 --> 00:14:26.397
funding of these nonprofits that are

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:28.957
making homelessness worse. And that all

00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:31.517
adds up to enough money for us to cut

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.717
state income tax. your first 150 grand

00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:37.997
tax-free, no state income tax. That puts

00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.957
thousands of dollars in the pockets of

00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:45.357
regular working people. Secondly, we're
going to have a sensible energy policy.

00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:49.117
Instead of shipping oil halfway around
the world pretending that we're doing

00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.397
something about climate change,
even though we're actually increasing

00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:57.117
emissions by doing that, we're going
to use California energy resources. And

00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.877
that means and and get rid of the
ridiculous outdated regulations and the

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:04.877
hidden taxes on gas so we can deal
with the number one thing that's hurting

00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:08.717
working people every day, which is gas
prices. Instead of $6 gas, we can get

00:15:08.800 --> 00:15:12.557
towards $3 gas in California like
you have in other states right now

00:15:12.640 --> 00:15:14.877
>> by getting rid of the emissions.

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.637
um premium or getting rid
of the cleaning of the gasoline.

00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.757
>> No, it's not that at all. It's
the hidden taxes, the low car, all these

00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:26.077
things. The low carbon fuel standard,
the cap and invest program. That's about

00:15:26.160 --> 00:15:28.397
a $150 on the gas price right there.

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.837
Guess where that money goes? The cap
and invest program. That's what's funding

00:15:31.920 --> 00:15:33.997
highspeed rail. I mean, you dig into all

00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:38.877
these things in California. They are
gouging you on every single possible

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.157
thing they can. the announcement we made
last week. It's going to help regular

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.877
working people uh to register your car

00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.517
or truck in California, hundreds of

00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:50.157
dollars. Many people paying $8, $900,

00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.157
over $1,000. In most other states, it's

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.957
under $100. It's another hidden tax.

00:15:55.040 --> 00:15:57.277
Well, we are going to cap vehicle

00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.357
registration at the flat registration

00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.717
rate of $73 per vehicle per year by

00:16:02.800 --> 00:16:06.237
abolishing the DMV, which is a symbol of

00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.477
the [applause]

00:16:08.560 --> 00:16:12.797
a symbol of this this this absolutely

00:16:12.880 --> 00:16:15.517
ridiculous bloated nanny state

00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:17.917
bureaucracy that is driving everyone

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.317
crazy and driving up everyone's cost.

00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:25.917
You just need to send an outsider
to Sacramento that wants to shake up this

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.637
system that's clearly broken.
>> Why shouldn't people vote for Bisera?

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.557
What is the flaw in this person?

00:16:30.640 --> 00:16:34.957
>> Well, I I mean, the short answer is I'm
going to quote uh the people who worked

00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:38.877
with him. He touts the fact that he's
got so much experience. Yeah, he's a

00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.917
36-year career politician. Let's look at

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:46.077
uh the verdict not of other Republicans,
but Democrats who work with him. Susan

00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:48.797
Rice, President Biden's head of domestic

00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:51.037
policy, was President Obama's national

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.677
security um head of n national security

00:16:53.760 --> 00:16:55.997
adviser. She worked with him for four

00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.917
years. Her description, Bera is a quote

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.197
idiot. >> Okay,
so the reason not to vote for him

00:17:03.280 --> 00:17:06.797
is by the way, she also said, and I
don't know quite what she meant by this,

00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.717
he's a ass. So make of that
what [laughter] you will.

00:17:10.800 --> 00:17:13.757
>> Sounds like he's pretty qualified
for a role to run California.

00:17:13.840 --> 00:17:15.837
>> Exactly. Maybe it's
just He's a ass idiot.

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.637
>> A ass idiot. ass.
So that give him the keys.

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.117
Another one right from the Biden cabinet
said, "But the thing about Javier you

00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.797
need to know is running a large
executive agency is not exactly his

00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:29.837
skill set." I mean this is just if if

00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:31.997
you don't think it can get worse after

00:17:32.080 --> 00:17:34.237
Gavin Newsome, I have two words for you.

00:17:34.320 --> 00:17:37.357
Javier Bera. He [laughter] is exactly

00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.317
what the machine to your point wants. a

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.557
puppet who will do the bidding of the

00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:44.877
unions and the trial lawyers and all

00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:49.597
these activists that have run ruined uh
the the business climate in California,

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.117
made everything more expensive. He'll
just go along with it. He's even even

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:57.197
worse than Newsome. >> I want
to get you in Sachs here. Um why

00:17:57.280 --> 00:18:01.597
haven't the Republicans invested
in California more? Because

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:03.837
you're coming in, Steve, I think with a

00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:08.957
lack of infrastructure, correct? And you
obviously speak for all Republicans. So,

00:18:09.040 --> 00:18:11.517
why haven't >> Well, >> on this podcast,

00:18:11.600 --> 00:18:15.037
>> we haven't we haven't had a candidate
as good as Steve, so we needed the right

00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:18.237
candidate. Right. >> So,
can can you get some more money from

00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:21.597
President Trump? He just called in, but
when he calls in this afternoon, can we

00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.437
get him some more funds here? He seems
like he's got a puncher shot. I mean,

00:18:25.520 --> 00:18:29.277
I'm If you put this energy into
the debate, maybe you take this guy out.

00:18:29.360 --> 00:18:30.877
Look, I think how gone is California,

00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.317
sir. California. I mean, look, what we

00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:36.557
need is for this election to be about

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:41.517
the state, not about national politics,
right? And Steve is focused on the

00:18:41.600 --> 00:18:44.957
problems here. Let's not bring in the
rest of the country because we have to

00:18:45.040 --> 00:18:48.397
appeal to the independents. And Steve
is right. The state's really broken. We

00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.677
have all these budget deficits for no
reason. We're gifted with so many

00:18:51.760 --> 00:18:55.437
unbelievable assets. We have Silicon
Valley. By the way, you know what? One

00:18:55.520 --> 00:18:58.957
observation Peter Till made years
ago was that Silicon Valley was like a

00:18:59.040 --> 00:19:03.117
resource curse for the state
of California because it generates so much

00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.077
wealth and taxes that they don't
need a good government here.

00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.077
>> You know, it's like one of and
that's how you get a one party state.

00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.917
>> Can I just sort of pick up on that if
I may? So if you actually there's there

00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:16.397
was a brilliant moment I mean depressing
moment with Bera just before the the

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:18.877
primary where he was on CNN and he was

00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:23.837
asked um that question and the to be
fair to this the host said look we got

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.757
some problems here homelessness highest
poverty rate highest unemployment rate

00:19:27.840 --> 00:19:31.037
terrible cost of living uh what do
you think really would you have done

00:19:31.120 --> 00:19:35.197
differently what needs to change from
a policy point of view he literally said

00:19:35.280 --> 00:19:39.357
well you know with the fourth biggest
economy in the world and many people

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:41.197
still love coming to Disneyland and our

00:19:41.280 --> 00:19:44.877
beaches. So things must be going right.

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.997
And the point about the resource curse
is exactly right. This is what you hear

00:19:48.080 --> 00:19:49.677
from Gavin Newsome the whole time.

00:19:49.760 --> 00:19:51.597
Fourth biggest economy in the world.

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.317
That's mainly driven by the fact that we

00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:58.797
have this incredibly successful sector
that's generating a lot of revenue but

00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:02.877
not creating a lot of jobs. It's a very
imbalanced economy. The other reason

00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.157
that we have the fourth biggest economy
in the world is that that number is the

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:10.637
GDP number includes the size of the
government. They've doubled the size of

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:12.717
the government in the last 10 years. The

00:20:12.800 --> 00:20:15.997
num the the figure for net job private

00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:17.837
sector job creation since the pandemic

00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.197
in California is basically zero. It's a

00:20:21.280 --> 00:20:25.757
disaster economically, but we're
kept afloat by that one sector. A

00:20:25.840 --> 00:20:28.477
>> lot of it home.
>> And by the way, if Prop 40 passes, I

00:20:28.560 --> 00:20:31.197
think that'll no longer be >>
it's going. Exactly. That's why

00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:35.917
honestly, wake up everybody.
This is a really serious moment.

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.757
>> Hey uh Friedberg, we had an idea.
You have another guest here who might be

00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:44.157
great to join. Steve. >> Yeah.
So, Steve, you know, you've

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.917
obviously I think um been running
a great campaign. Someone else ran a great

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.677
campaign here in LA and we were hoping
you'd be okay to have him come out early

00:20:51.760 --> 00:20:53.197
and maybe join you for a little bit.

00:20:53.280 --> 00:20:54.797
>> Yeah. I don't know who
you could be thinking of.

00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:58.077
>> Let's find out. >> Let's
have a look. He's trying to make

00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:01.757
the campaign a reality show. No, no, my

00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:05.437
my dear, you made my life a show when

00:21:05.520 --> 00:21:09.757
you burned my town down.

00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:12.717
>> You know his face. [music] You know
his name. His name is Spencer Prattton.

00:21:12.800 --> 00:21:16.317
>> A media entrepreneur.
>> To be clear, I never wanted to run for

00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:19.597
any political office or have
anything to do with politicians.

00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.317
>> Like to see him do well.
He's a character.

00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.477
>> Mayor Bass and I are definitely
[music] not working together. I blame this

00:21:26.560 --> 00:21:30.477
person for burning my house and my
parents house and my town and all my

00:21:30.560 --> 00:21:31.997
neighbors down. [music] I'm only running

00:21:32.080 --> 00:21:35.117
for mayor to to do one last Hail Mary.

00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:40.900
Please welcome Spencer Pratt. [music]

00:21:45.120 --> 00:21:48.637
>> Wow, you're popular. Wow. >>
Popular with this crowd. All right. Nice

00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:51.837
to see you. All right. Welcome,

00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:54.797
>> Steve. Spencer. Spencer. Steve. Buddy,

00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:58.877
how are you? >> You guys
have some things in common.

00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:03.197
>> I mean, how how hard is it to break
the machine in California? Spencer,

00:22:03.280 --> 00:22:05.437
>> uh, he keeps calling it a machine. I

00:22:05.520 --> 00:22:10.957
like to call it a corrupt criminal mafia
cartel. [laughter] You know, machine is

00:22:11.040 --> 00:22:14.397
when you're a candidate, you have
to call it a a machine. These are

00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:16.797
criminals. That's that simple. They

00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:20.797
launder all of our tax money to increase

00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:22.957
people dying on our streets. And then

00:22:23.040 --> 00:22:25.517
they say, "Oh, he's a Republican

00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:30.077
candidate. You can't vote for him. Let's
let people keep dying on our sidewalks

00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.917
cuz we have compassion." So, no,
those are criminals. Actually,

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.157
>> Spencer, the criminal machine.

00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:39.677
>> Spencer, you did something worthy
of a round of applause for sure.

00:22:39.760 --> 00:22:41.997
>> Let's go. Spencer, you did something

00:22:42.080 --> 00:22:45.197
extraordinary um in terms of an

00:22:45.280 --> 00:22:48.157
independent candidate getting massive

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:50.797
earned media with these videos, AI

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.917
generated, but they were incredibly

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:57.037
deaf at communicating messages. Who made

00:22:57.120 --> 00:22:59.437
them? Did you direct them? Was this like

00:22:59.520 --> 00:23:02.637
a covert group chat with a not and then

00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.157
how can we get Steve to do these?

00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:10.717
>> I am. We got the same team.
Okay, tell us what's going on. Yeah.

00:23:10.800 --> 00:23:13.197
>> So, >> and the impact
it had cuz we saw them.

00:23:13.280 --> 00:23:17.757
Yeah. >> Initially, what kicked
off was just the truth. You

00:23:17.840 --> 00:23:21.837
that's all I did. I went out on as many
platforms and I just started saying the

00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:24.557
truth and what that created was a

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:28.317
grassroots movement and to reference a

00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.717
machine. It became a machine that

00:23:30.800 --> 00:23:33.757
creative people across the country could

00:23:33.840 --> 00:23:37.517
throw their genius or their ideas into

00:23:37.600 --> 00:23:42.637
it. I wouldn't say it was the AI that
worked. I think it was a piece of a lot

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:46.237
of things that were working. Same
with Steve. You know, AI is a piece of it.

00:23:46.320 --> 00:23:50.237
Every, you know, people just expect
these things now. But for me, it's the

00:23:50.320 --> 00:23:54.797
message that was cutting through it.
It wasn't the AI. It was what was in these

00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:57.197
videos. I was saying in real life, just

00:23:57.280 --> 00:23:59.357
as Steve is saying in real life, people

00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.397
are tired of being lied to. People want

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.957
the truth. I didn't set out to be, as

00:24:05.040 --> 00:24:09.437
the president would call me, a big MAGA
guy or the guy with the mojo for the

00:24:09.520 --> 00:24:13.837
Republicans. I set out as a guy whose
town burned down, my neighbors burned

00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:17.357
down. I just wanted somebody speaking
the truth. And that wasn't political to

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:19.837
me. And so that's why most of the people

00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.157
that voted for me were Democrats. I

00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:25.437
would have won a 100% and beat all the

00:24:25.520 --> 00:24:27.437
super meth addicts that voted for Nitia

00:24:27.520 --> 00:24:31.197
Ramen and Bass uh if the 200,000

00:24:31.280 --> 00:24:35.197
Republicans that are registered in Los
Angeles actually voted. And that's what

00:24:35.280 --> 00:24:39.117
we need people to do for Steve. People
need to vote. We've got to this idea

00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:41.677
with the mail and ballots and all the

00:24:41.760 --> 00:24:43.837
alleged voter fraud and the non-alleged

00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:48.717
voter fraud that we can't beat this
system, but people just need to show up.

00:24:48.800 --> 00:24:53.437
One of the great things the president
did say was the too big to rig. And not

00:24:53.520 --> 00:24:57.117
only is that work, you know, I've talked
to a lot of people behind the scenes,

00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:01.357
you can beat these margins
of cheating with voting.

00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:04.717
Steve, can you I mean, Spencer, can you
actually explain what happened in your

00:25:04.800 --> 00:25:08.717
election? Because for the casual
observer, it seemed like there was a

00:25:08.800 --> 00:25:12.237
period you were winning and then
something happened and then a lot of

00:25:12.320 --> 00:25:15.997
votes showed up at the end and then
there was a I So for for those of us

00:25:16.080 --> 00:25:18.877
that were not steeped in what happened
in LA, can you just give us a summary of

00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.557
what happened? >> Yeah,
I was at Don Antonio's celebrating

00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:24.797
while my opponent Nitia Ramen from the

00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:28.317
Kami DSA was crying on camera because

00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:31.277
she was losing by 10%. And then

00:25:31.360 --> 00:25:34.237
mathematically the most impossible thing

00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:36.317
in the history of politics happened. The

00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:40.077
third place candidate started slowly

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:44.797
each day winning. But of course they'll
say, "Oh yes, but Democrats, they they

00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:48.957
vote by mail and ballots." But this
Democrat was against the current mayor

00:25:49.040 --> 00:25:51.117
who's also a Democrat. And the third

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:53.597
place candidate somehow bypassed not

00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.397
just me, but the first place Democratic

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.117
candidate to get just enough votes to

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:01.117
beat me. And here's my favorite part of

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:04.397
the 43,000 votes she got in those mail

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:07.917
in ballots. How many naked drug addict

00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.397
zombies are there in downtown LA in this

00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:13.117
area? 43,000. There's really about a

00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:18.077
100,000, but they say 43,000. So again,

00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:21.117
I'm not saying they
cheated because the system

00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:23.117
>> I think you just did, guys. Wait, no.

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.077
But hold on a second.
You just did say they cheated.

00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:29.517
>> Okay. The system is designed so what we

00:26:29.600 --> 00:26:32.157
think is cheating is not cheating. Cuz

00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.557
ready for this mail and ballots, the

00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:39.837
witness can sign with a smiley face,
an X. This witness can be a witness to

00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:41.117
>> They're not allowed to check.

00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.397
>> This This witness can be
a witness to 43,000 ballots.

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:47.117
>> All right, guys. Listen, these two
are only here cuz Steve's got to go to

00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.357
another thing. But I want to see if
Spencer and Steve maybe have you guys

00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:54.957
met or talked much about his campaign
and is there anything you can share

00:26:55.040 --> 00:26:57.197
about the experience here
that you've just went through?

00:26:57.280 --> 00:27:01.437
>> Can can I just want to say one thing
to underline what Spencer said at the

00:27:01.520 --> 00:27:05.277
beginning which is the deep thing that's
going on here about what's happening

00:27:05.360 --> 00:27:09.277
with our money for everyone who put
their hand up and said I'm here in

00:27:09.360 --> 00:27:11.517
California. So you'll know this story.

00:27:11.600 --> 00:27:14.877
Um you've seen it, you've been there,
you told the story. I was with at

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:19.357
Langers the other week. Langanger's
Delhi right by MacArthur Park and we

00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:24.637
crossed the G and nearly 80 years
in business a couple of years ago uh Norm

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:28.957
Langanger wanted to shut it down because
the chaos all around in LA the customers

00:27:29.040 --> 00:27:32.957
rallied around it's still in business
and the chaos is back even though you

00:27:33.040 --> 00:27:35.837
got a DA now in LA that's cracking down

00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:38.157
on the drugs and the crime and you've

00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:42.957
got a US attorney Billy good friend
of ours who's doing a great job trying to

00:27:43.040 --> 00:27:47.277
go after the criminal gangs
and the cartels But but what's actually

00:27:47.360 --> 00:27:52.637
happening? This was a Tuesday morning
last week about 10:30 midm morning. We

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.997
he said come and see what's happening.

00:27:54.080 --> 00:27:56.957
It's like whack-a-ole because you go out

00:27:57.040 --> 00:27:59.277
into MacArthur Park 10:30 on a Tuesday

00:27:59.360 --> 00:28:02.557
morning. Every single place you look

00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:06.717
you've got the people you described.
You got crack pipes, people smoking crack,

00:28:06.800 --> 00:28:10.717
injecting drugs folded over with
fentinel in the middle of a beautiful

00:28:10.800 --> 00:28:12.957
sunny day in the center of LA. Dozens

00:28:13.040 --> 00:28:15.917
and dozens of people. Why? Because every

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:19.997
single day, four nonprofits show up

00:28:20.080 --> 00:28:22.397
handing out crack pipes, handing out

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:25.437
needles, handing out drugs. Who's paying

00:28:25.520 --> 00:28:29.597
for that? You are. We are.
We are paying for these people.

00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:30.957
>> What do you mean
we're paying for drugs?

00:28:31.040 --> 00:28:35.357
>> Because the taxpayers are funding the
nonprofits who are handing out the crack

00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:36.637
pipes, the needles, and the drugs.

00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:38.077
>> No. What drugs are we talking about?

00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.037
>> Fentanyl. They hand out
fentanyl needles. A black G.

00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:45.757
>> I pay taxes. They take the taxes.
They buy fentinel and then they give it to

00:28:45.840 --> 00:28:49.677
>> Oh, they buy the needles.
And interestingly enough, one of these

00:28:49.760 --> 00:28:51.517
people from the NOS's that was handing

00:28:51.600 --> 00:28:54.797
out the needles. Billis also caught him

00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:58.717
selling the drugs too. So technically,
you're not buying the drugs, but the

00:28:58.800 --> 00:29:02.877
people that were paying for the needles
happened to also be selling the drugs on

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:07.197
the side. >> I ju can I
just tell I I'm going to be

00:29:07.280 --> 00:29:09.597
>> it's called the side
quest in our industry.

00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:13.997
>> I just want to say one one other story
that really captured I I'll head that

00:29:14.080 --> 00:29:18.397
out. I just want to tell this other
story that capt this story that we've just

00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.157
>> we've just had experience of and one
other that actually captures for me in a

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.077
deeper way what this election is all
about. Just a couple of days before that

00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.757
experience in MacArthur Park, there's
this Latino couple wanted me to come and

00:29:29.840 --> 00:29:32.557
see their business in South Central LA.

00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:36.317
It's, you know, it's not Skid Row,
but it's pretty rough and it's the usual

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:40.237
squalor that I'm afraid we're used to in
this city because they don't know how to

00:29:40.320 --> 00:29:44.717
run the place. But in the middle of all
that squala, this beautiful little

00:29:44.800 --> 00:29:46.557
store, they run a store. It's a shoe

00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:49.597
store. And they've been running it 14

00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:53.837
years. Latino couple. We went in, we
were talking, they gave me all the usual

00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:58.077
things that I'm very familiar with,
the taxes, the ridiculous bureaucracy, the

00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:02.477
permits that get more complicated
and costly every year, the electric bill,

00:30:02.560 --> 00:30:06.157
etc. Said, "But that's not why we wanted
you to come here. Come with me." They

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:09.357
took me outside. You walk along. We we

00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:11.197
went for a walk. Two city blocks. could

00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:13.437
have gone even further. Every single

00:30:13.520 --> 00:30:17.597
part of the sidewalk, street vendors.

00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:19.437
You think illegal street vendors. What

00:30:19.520 --> 00:30:23.197
are they selling? Shoes and apparel and

00:30:23.280 --> 00:30:26.637
t-shirts. Just the entire sidewalk.

00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:31.917
this 14-year business, a lovely little
local business, everything spotless,

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:35.757
everything clean. Exactly what we would
want to see, is going out of business

00:30:35.840 --> 00:30:40.877
because you got people there that are
not paying tax, not paying electric, not

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:44.957
paying rent, not complying with any
licensing. And then I said to the guy,

00:30:45.040 --> 00:30:49.357
when did all this happen? Uh when did
it start? Was this has this been here all

00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:52.397
the time you've been here? No, it's
the last six or seven years. Said, is it

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.957
something to do with the pandemic? No.
I looked into it eight years ago in 2018.

00:30:57.040 --> 00:31:01.917
They passed a bill in Sacramento
to legalize street vending in California

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:05.117
across the state. Cities can't do
anything about it. Counties can't do

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:09.277
anything about it. Um you've got
and langers, you've got food stands there

00:31:09.360 --> 00:31:11.277
that are pouring their grease into the

00:31:11.360 --> 00:31:13.117
drain right in front of their store. You

00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:16.557
got rats, you got all of it legalized.

00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:21.517
And what does it tell you when you take
that into account and then what you see

00:31:21.600 --> 00:31:24.397
in Macarthur Park with the drugs?
You know what you guys should do?

00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:26.157
>> Can I just tell you what this lesson is

00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:29.117
from this? That we've become a state

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:32.477
where if you do the right thing, you're

00:31:32.560 --> 00:31:37.117
punished and if you do the wrong thing,
you're rewarded. That is upside down.

00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:41.117
But that's the story bel beneath
everything. And that's what we need to

00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.197
turn around. That's what this election
is actually about. No, I I really think

00:31:45.280 --> 00:31:48.797
it's important for you guys to be able
to tell the stories of these specific

00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:53.037
laws because it doesn't it doesn't
matter your political persuasion when

00:31:53.120 --> 00:31:57.277
you hear that if it is as accurate
as you say, it's functionally one of the

00:31:57.360 --> 00:31:59.677
stupidest things I've ever heard. And if

00:31:59.760 --> 00:32:04.317
there's a 20 or 30 of these examples,
it's important for people to know this

00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:08.637
because that's the only thing that cracks
this entrenched system because I

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:10.557
do think that these belief systems are

00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:13.917
very difficult to turn over and you have

00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:18.557
to just hit them with facts over and over.
But these things are in insane if

00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:21.437
if AC as accurate as you
said, Steve, it's insane.

00:32:21.520 --> 00:32:23.997
>> The craziest part
about this, so there's

00:32:24.080 --> 00:32:26.957
they say there's 50,000 food vendors.

00:32:27.040 --> 00:32:30.477
50,000. and they made it more affordable.
So, most of them don't even

00:32:30.560 --> 00:32:33.757
have the permit that costs $21, but our

00:32:33.840 --> 00:32:36.397
city council green lit and they already

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:38.957
did this. They gave these food vendors a

00:32:39.040 --> 00:32:42.717
$500,000 to give them an actual cart. My

00:32:42.800 --> 00:32:45.437
town burned down because Mayor Bass and

00:32:45.520 --> 00:32:49.437
the LWP didn't repair the reservoir

00:32:49.520 --> 00:32:52.237
cover that was $200,000.

00:32:52.320 --> 00:32:54.877
So they have money to have a lot of

00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:58.077
these people are not cit taxpaying

00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:02.557
citizens. They have the money to give
them $500,000 for food cards, but they

00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:07.117
can't get the civic palaces is paying
most of the taxes for the whole city.

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:08.557
They can't get the reservoir cut.

00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:12.717
>> What does it say, Spencer? If this city

00:33:12.800 --> 00:33:16.557
elects Karen Bass again and what does it

00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:21.437
say in terms of lessons about your
campaign that you can't beat somebody

00:33:21.520 --> 00:33:24.637
that incompetent? >> I mean,
we're up against dumb and dumber

00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:27.117
would say they're less dumb than picking

00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:29.997
this socialist communist alleged

00:33:30.080 --> 00:33:32.797
terrorist supporter, uh, Nitia Ramen.

00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:37.197
So, we're in a position where it's
either worse or worse. And at least with

00:33:37.280 --> 00:33:43.517
Mayor Bass, we know, oh, she only burns
down one town every four years, [laughter]

00:33:43.600 --> 00:33:45.997
>> right? >> How many
does Nitia Ramen burn down?

00:33:46.080 --> 00:33:48.877
>> We'll find out. >> Yeah.
So, no, it's I hate to say those.

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:52.477
Let's hope we don't, you know, what
can I say? That's not a complete joke,

00:33:52.560 --> 00:33:56.477
right? What what you just said. So,
we launched our general election campaign

00:33:56.560 --> 00:33:58.717
after the primary in Boille Heights,

00:33:58.800 --> 00:34:01.997
East LA. Why? because that that was the

00:34:02.080 --> 00:34:04.797
site of another fire where Karen Bass

00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:09.197
was out of town. Incredible.
The warehouse fire that burned for a week.

00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:10.637
She was out of town for that one as

00:34:10.720 --> 00:34:13.837
well. Um and you had it was a warehouse.

00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:16.877
You had 85 million pounds of rotting

00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:20.397
meat that was left there for five weeks.

00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:25.277
This is a workingclass Latino
neighborhood in LA. It's just you. We

00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:28.717
launched our campaign that the press
wasn't very happy because you have flies

00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:31.197
everywhere. The whole place stinks. You

00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:33.997
have rats, medieval diseases. This is in

00:34:34.080 --> 00:34:37.277
the the the second city of America. I

00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:39.517
mean, it's just what these people have

00:34:39.600 --> 00:34:44.397
done is actually unforgivable. We've got
to kick these people out this year. We

00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:47.517
really do. >> Spencer,
before Steve leaves, any advice

00:34:47.600 --> 00:34:49.517
for him?

00:34:49.600 --> 00:34:51.517
>> Uh, I feel like Steve doesn't need my

00:34:51.600 --> 00:34:55.197
advice. Uh, he's doing incredible. what

00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:59.437
he just needs to continue doing and he
does it is appealing because you're

00:34:59.520 --> 00:35:03.517
never going to win as a Republican
in California. But what he's running is

00:35:03.600 --> 00:35:07.517
common sense. And the message is, you
know, for the people that are like, I'm

00:35:07.600 --> 00:35:09.997
voting for Basara B. What does what does

00:35:10.080 --> 00:35:14.717
Biden call him? Back. I think we say Bas.
We're going to take Basura from

00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:18.317
Karen Bass and apply it. >> You know,
>> these people think they're voting

00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:21.997
because he says, "I'm going to fight
president." The president is gone in two

00:35:22.080 --> 00:35:26.317
years. So then what? You're just going
to have another entrenched terrible

00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:28.077
person running the state. And don't

00:35:28.160 --> 00:35:31.357
worry, the whole entire state is run by

00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:33.677
Democrats. If there's one registered

00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:36.717
Republican, it's okay. So, I would say

00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.197
the message is Steve is about common

00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:42.237
sense and he just wants our tax money to

00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:45.037
stop being stolen and he wants kids

00:35:45.120 --> 00:35:47.277
being able to go back to parks. These

00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:50.237
aren't a Republican or a Democrat. It's

00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:54.957
just a non-communist message. So,
>> you're you're going to stay with us for

00:35:55.040 --> 00:35:57.597
a bit. Steve, I know you got to run.
Any last words? anything you want to say

00:35:57.680 --> 00:36:00.477
before you head out?
>> I just want to tell um everyone that

00:36:00.560 --> 00:36:04.797
actually it's not just about stopping
the crazy stuff that we've been talking

00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:08.557
about. There's a there's it's there's
so much we can do in this amazing state.

00:36:08.640 --> 00:36:12.877
I've got a plan here uh that we're
publishing today. 10 new cities for

00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:14.957
California. We've got so much

00:36:15.040 --> 00:36:17.277
opportunity here. If we just have some

00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:20.237
common sense, we get rid of these insane

00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:22.877
regulations and lawsuits and fees and

00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.597
taxes. The talent is here. The energy is

00:36:25.680 --> 00:36:27.917
here. We can once again be the place

00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.557
where people are coming to build amazing

00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:33.437
businesses and companies and houses and

00:36:33.520 --> 00:36:38.077
the great things we built in the heyday
of California. We can be all that again

00:36:38.160 --> 00:36:42.397
and very very quickly because we've
got everything we need to be truly

00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:44.477
magnificent again except a good

00:36:44.560 --> 00:36:50.050
governor, but very soon we'll have that
as well. Thank you very much. [applause]

00:36:50.240 --> 00:36:53.037
>> Thanks for being here.
[music] Thank you.

00:36:53.120 --> 00:36:55.997
What's your favorite viral Spencer Pratt

00:36:56.080 --> 00:37:00.237
video? I know mine >> it's um
we have the money is just being

00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:03.917
stolen. >> You remember that one?

00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.877
>> I do. I mean, what's I loved about

00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:08.957
running so much is it was finally a way

00:37:09.040 --> 00:37:12.557
to channel all of my anger and it was it

00:37:12.640 --> 00:37:14.317
was so therapeutic. It [laughter] was

00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:17.517
just like this feels so good. Um but

00:37:17.600 --> 00:37:19.757
yeah, Steve's incredible. I pray for

00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:22.957
him. Uh I obviously everybody who I

00:37:23.040 --> 00:37:26.797
thought was a genius
involved in my campaign

00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:30.797
connected these people. So he's got >>
Spencer. What's going to happen in this

00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:35.917
election? Now >> if people vote, Steve
wins, but people need to vote. It's like

00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:39.197
>> So you you think you think there's
still an opportunity to vote in the state

00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:41.597
versus having the machine
fill it out for me?

00:37:41.680 --> 00:37:45.997
>> Correct.
I I is I'm a I'm so optimistic.

00:37:46.080 --> 00:37:50.317
Psyche. No, I mean uh you just got to be

00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:52.237
you got we got to try. People need to

00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:55.597
vote. And I don't think the the machine

00:37:55.680 --> 00:37:58.877
and the idea that we can't win should

00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:01.277
stop from trying. Yeah. Like if I had

00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:03.517
thought that way. I mean, I had my plan.

00:38:03.600 --> 00:38:07.917
I would 100% been the mayor. I didn't
know they were going to pull what they

00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:11.277
pulled that soon. I thought they were
going to wait till November. So, I had

00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:14.637
the plan to win, but I'm going to save

00:38:14.720 --> 00:38:19.437
it for my next election. So, you know
>> what uh what what does that what does

00:38:19.520 --> 00:38:23.277
that mean exactly? >> Well,
I mean behind offstage I can tell

00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:27.037
you you know I can't give the >>
basically you you need a better vote

00:38:27.120 --> 00:38:28.957
stealing operation than they have.

00:38:29.040 --> 00:38:31.837
Right. I mean >> what I've
learned is it's not stealing.

00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:35.997
It's legal. So my got my own
harvesting they call it. Yeah.

00:38:36.080 --> 00:38:38.557
>> You know I got something up my sleeve.

00:38:38.640 --> 00:38:42.237
>> Well no no no in seriousness
Spencer. Um he is being serious.

00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.357
>> I'm [laughter] dead. >> Okay. So,

00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:48.477
um, you have legal recourse. Voter fraud

00:38:48.560 --> 00:38:52.157
is a very significant crime. People have

00:38:52.240 --> 00:38:56.957
been prosecuted very regularly
for committing voter fraud. You're making

00:38:57.040 --> 00:39:00.077
these claims. Freeberg's making
these claims. You're piling

00:39:00.160 --> 00:39:01.277
>> Hold on. What claims did I make?

00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:03.997
>> You just said if
you can actually win or

00:39:04.080 --> 00:39:07.437
that somebody automatically signs it for
you. You're insinuating that the system

00:39:07.520 --> 00:39:10.397
is corrupt. Let me >> claim you
made that was a joke about the

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:15.277
>> Okay, fine. But in our private chat,
in our private chat, you say all the time,

00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:18.797
"No, >> I'll totally insinuate it.
I'll assert it."

00:39:18.880 --> 00:39:20.877
>> Anyway, the point is >>
the system is corrupt. It's

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:22.957
statistically impossible.
We all saw the lines

00:39:23.040 --> 00:39:26.557
>> here. Here, I'll hold Let me I know
where this is going. Everyone says,

00:39:26.640 --> 00:39:30.877
"Well, why didn't you why didn't you
investigate D?" So, obviously, I got the

00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:34.397
top law firms. I'm like, "Yeah, we're
going to get them." And then you ready

00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:38.157
for this? The second those mailin
ballots get to where they count the

00:39:38.240 --> 00:39:39.917
votes because they say, "Come down here.

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:42.557
Check this out. The second they get
there, you know what they do at the

00:39:42.640 --> 00:39:44.397
ballots? They separate them from the

00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:47.677
envelope. So, let's say I know 42,000 of

00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:51.677
these were cooked with the NGO, drug
addicts, and the people that are paying

00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:54.957
them billions of dollars cuz they want
that money to keep. I know it's all from

00:39:55.040 --> 00:39:59.517
there. Oh, well, we can't connect those
ballots to those envelopes. We separated

00:39:59.600 --> 00:40:02.877
the chain of custody from those. So,
>> the certification signature is on the

00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:04.957
envelope to be clear. It's like right

00:40:05.040 --> 00:40:07.357
there. So you so I know let's say I know

00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:10.557
this DSA terrorist commie person signed

00:40:10.640 --> 00:40:15.037
all these. I know that's this one. They
go and this is where they're from. Oh,

00:40:15.120 --> 00:40:19.757
we don't have that person's signature
to connect those ballots. So you can't I

00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:21.837
could have definitely
said I want to recount.

00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:24.877
>> You can't audit is basically like >>
and they would have recounted the same

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:27.597
ballots. So I'm not alleging anything.

00:40:27.680 --> 00:40:29.677
This is just a fact in California.

00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:33.517
>> This is what I mean. I didn't get to
ask my question because this is legal and

00:40:33.600 --> 00:40:38.077
the way it's set up legally is what
makes it impossible to intervene unless

00:40:38.160 --> 00:40:41.117
you are willing to go play that game
where you're now going to go collect all

00:40:41.200 --> 00:40:44.077
the ballots from the apartment buildings
and fill them all out and get someone to

00:40:44.160 --> 00:40:47.277
put a happy smiley face on it and be
like here you go. That's the mechanism

00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:50.957
that ultimately I think the other side
is going to end up having to employ if

00:40:51.040 --> 00:40:52.397
they actually want to get people elected

00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:56.557
in a state that's 2/3 one side of the uh

00:40:56.640 --> 00:40:59.357
>> President Trump did
60 of these lawsuits

00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:04.077
when he lost last time and claim
the same thing. All 60 he lost. You're not

00:41:04.160 --> 00:41:06.077
even willing to do a lawsuit. But is

00:41:06.160 --> 00:41:11.197
your contention that you lost
because of fraud? Yes or no?

00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:12.957
>> It's a trick question.

00:41:13.040 --> 00:41:15.837
>> Well, no. It's a simple question.

00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:21.597
That's it's a trick question.
I without evidence I would say no.

00:41:21.680 --> 00:41:25.597
>> Okay. >> So >> So but he can't
the thing is he can't collect on it.

00:41:25.680 --> 00:41:30.077
>> So if I had the evidence I would
tell you I would be the mayor right now.

00:41:30.160 --> 00:41:32.157
>> Okay. So >> well what I
would say what I would say

00:41:32.240 --> 00:41:37.117
is that on election night you were
the clear number two and then a week later

00:41:37.200 --> 00:41:40.317
you had been narrowly displaced by a
bunch of ballots that were counted out.

00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:43.997
>> Yeah. the it seems like there would
have to be in this case, correct me if I'm

00:41:44.080 --> 00:41:46.397
wrong, tens of thousands of fake ballots.

00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:49.517
>> No, I'm not saying fake.
This is what this is. Again,

00:41:49.600 --> 00:41:51.277
>> it's not fraud, Jason.
It's that they're

00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:56.717
following the law that was created to let
them do what they're doing. It's legal.

00:41:56.800 --> 00:41:59.357
>> Why is voter ID illegal?
>> All right, so watch this. Watch this.

00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:01.757
Watch this. >> I'm in favor
of voter ID. Be clear, but

00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:04.157
you still haven't explained
where the crime occurred here.

00:42:04.240 --> 00:42:06.937
>> Watch this.
The crime harvest. Go ahead.

00:42:07.020 --> 00:42:10.157
[laughter] >> Ready for this?
I'm awake now.

00:42:10.240 --> 00:42:12.957
>> All right, here we go.
So, if I go up to

00:42:13.040 --> 00:42:17.197
you when you go to like a basketball
court to vote, you know, with the nice

00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:20.717
people and they say in California, they
say, "Don't show us your ID. You, that's

00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:23.037
illegal." Those people, if I go up to

00:42:23.120 --> 00:42:28.077
you and I'm wearing like Mayor Pratt
hat and I say, "Who's on your ballot? You

00:42:28.160 --> 00:42:29.837
This is why you should vote for Spencer

00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:32.717
Pratt." This is electioneering. This is

00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:36.637
illegal. But it's not illegal for DSA

00:42:36.720 --> 00:42:40.637
commies to ride around on their bikes
and to go into your apartment building,

00:42:40.720 --> 00:42:45.277
knock on your door, say, "Hey, this is
your ballot. You got to vote for Nitia

00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:48.957
Ramen. She's going to make everything
cheap, give you free money, a cell

00:42:49.040 --> 00:42:53.197
phone, she's going to pay for your
Netflix, all these things. Fill it out.

00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:55.597
We'll take it in." This is would be

00:42:55.680 --> 00:42:58.317
illegal at the gym, but it's not in

00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:00.397
California with ballot harvesting. So

00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:05.997
what these DSA soldiers, these are sold,
these are true believers do, they do it

00:43:06.080 --> 00:43:10.077
in New York, they're doing it all over
the they go around, thousands of them,

00:43:10.160 --> 00:43:14.717
and they go get these ballots.
So they're not fake ballots, it's ballot

00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:19.757
harvesting, and they can people pay these
people. I did legal ballot harvesting.

00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:23.277
>> You just can't pay them per ballot. And
this became law legal in California. How

00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:24.637
many years ago? Like a decade ago?

00:43:24.720 --> 00:43:27.677
>> Now the claim is ago, so I understand.
I just want to make sure I understand the

00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:31.197
claim. claim now is that DSA soldiers

00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:35.437
went gave money to people and convinced
them to place their vote and then

00:43:35.520 --> 00:43:37.917
brought their undocumented.
They're not giving anyone.

00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:39.517
>> Can you let him answer freeberg?

00:43:39.600 --> 00:43:42.717
>> The DSA operatives are being paid.

00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:46.077
>> Got it. >> And some do it
as for free cuz they are true believers.

00:43:46.160 --> 00:43:48.077
>> Like people who knock on doors and say

00:43:48.160 --> 00:43:51.917
>> so my campaign legal
door knockers pay a

00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:55.197
half a million dollars. They knock
and they say Spencer's so great. And they

00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:58.797
say no, I don't want to vote. and the
door shuts and they walk away. These

00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:03.917
people continue. They you go on the the
DSA website, they'll tell you a whole

00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:07.677
there'll be a whole breakdown on ballot
harvesting and they'll say go back three

00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:11.517
times. It becomes harassment. Finally,
somebody's going to be like here. Yeah,

00:44:11.600 --> 00:44:15.437
take this. Get out of my >>
So now the claim is the DSA is

00:44:15.520 --> 00:44:20.157
persistent and you weren't. You go one
time, they go three. Just so I'm clear.

00:44:20.240 --> 00:44:24.397
>> No, what I'm saying it's illegal to
harass people into who they vote. That's

00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:28.397
illegal. What the DSA?
>> Has any of those people ever filed a

00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:30.557
complaint about being harassed?

00:44:30.640 --> 00:44:32.717
>> Do you know where they're going?

00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:35.437
>> These people don't You can't >>
I'm asking you. You're the one making

00:44:35.520 --> 00:44:37.197
this claim that you lost because of fraud.

00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:39.677
>> No, I also didn't.
I said I don't have the evidence.

00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:42.637
>> You literally tweeted that the
fraudster stole the election from me.

00:44:42.720 --> 00:44:46.397
>> I said, "No, I said 200,000
Republicans didn't show up and vote."

00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:48.717
>> Okay, so that's why you lost.

00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:53.197
>> There's many reasons to not
win and lose and games also.

00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:55.677
Do you think Do you think that the other
side that Republicans are going to start

00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:57.997
to employ the ballot harvesting tactics?

00:44:58.080 --> 00:45:04.157
>> It won't work. I did it.
Unless you are nefarious, it doesn't work.

00:45:04.240 --> 00:45:06.877
>> Mhm. >> If you are
just like a genuine like

00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:10.397
hello knock like you like to vote like

00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:13.117
that doesn't work these people. So tell

00:45:13.200 --> 00:45:17.837
me this talk about claims.
>> Why won't California clear their voter

00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:21.357
roles? >> What does that mean?
just a different

00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:26.957
right now. The voter roles, if you moved
out of California, if you're dead, these

00:45:27.040 --> 00:45:30.237
are all ballots. >> There's
an empty parking lot downtown LA

00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:34.157
that gets hundreds of ballots mailed to
it. An empty parking lot and people have

00:45:34.240 --> 00:45:36.477
registered to this address.
Hundreds of ballots show up there.

00:45:36.560 --> 00:45:39.917
>> So, back to your thing, these are fake
ballots. They're not fake ballots. There

00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:42.317
could be potentially a million ballots

00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:45.597
out and about that now a DSA person

00:45:45.680 --> 00:45:47.917
could harvest get these ballots, fill in

00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:50.477
a circle, and then do a smiley face as

00:45:50.560 --> 00:45:53.997
the witness and mail that in. So we can

00:45:54.080 --> 00:45:56.877
call it a claim or we could call it who

00:45:56.960 --> 00:46:01.197
knows. It's like who knows what's
going on. The point is we need voter ID.

00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:03.757
People need to get that on the ballot.

00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:06.797
So >> yeah. Yeah. No, I mean you're the
person who made these claims, so I'm just

00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:10.317
asking you the questions. And and for
the record, I I think if Hold on, let me

00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:15.197
finish. Stop interrupting me. For the
record, I I think if you have to show an

00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:18.237
ID to get on a plane, it's quite
reasonable that you should show one to

00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:22.397
vote. So, I I'm I'm for a voter,
but >> you also need an ID.

00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.197
>> You also need an ID to shop at Kami Mom

00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:28.317
Dami's new markets. So, if you want if

00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:30.797
you want food, you need an ID.

00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:33.517
>> What are you doing next?
Let's move on past.

00:46:33.600 --> 00:46:37.437
>> This is it. I This is the the >>
You're joining the show. fifth bestie.

00:46:37.520 --> 00:46:40.797
Uh, you know, I have Zoom.
[laughter] You know, so

00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:42.237
>> you have Zoom and you have time.

00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.597
>> I do love premium
tequila. Uh, you know,

00:46:45.680 --> 00:46:48.317
>> this could work.
This [laughter] could work. Fifth bestie.

00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:52.397
>> There's a lot of >> I mean,
Brad Gerser is very popular, but

00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:56.077
I think you have a [laughter] he we
might need to move him to sixth bestie.

00:46:56.160 --> 00:46:58.477
what uh I will continue doing because I

00:46:58.560 --> 00:47:02.317
only ever ran for mayor to increase my

00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:06.957
message of fighting these people who
have destroyed my beautiful state, my

00:47:07.040 --> 00:47:09.837
beautiful city and then >> and your home.

00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:12.557
>> My home, my parents' home,
all my neighbors. So,

00:47:12.640 --> 00:47:15.997
>> let me ask you a question about
the incompetence of these idiots. You they

00:47:16.080 --> 00:47:20.157
burn your home down because they can't
keep water in the reservoir and then

00:47:20.240 --> 00:47:24.477
have you been able to rebuild? What's
the state of the palisades right now?

00:47:24.560 --> 00:47:28.477
So, here's the best part. That empty
reservoir is still empty. And the

00:47:28.560 --> 00:47:32.877
reservoir across the street from my
house that I was convinced I was house

00:47:32.960 --> 00:47:35.517
was never going to burn. The one they
didn't even talk about, that one's still

00:47:35.600 --> 00:47:39.357
empty. They have a hose. I just posted
a video about this. They have a hose that

00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:43.997
comes all the way from Tanga through all
the regrown dead brush. This is the hose

00:47:44.080 --> 00:47:46.317
now supplying the Palisades. But back to

00:47:46.400 --> 00:47:49.277
rebuilding. What happened is we all had

00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:51.517
farmers and all these great insurance,

00:47:51.600 --> 00:47:53.357
but and I don't blame the insurance

00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:56.397
companies because it's our Gavin Newsome

00:47:56.480 --> 00:47:58.877
in our state parks that allowed the 60

00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:02.157
years of dead fuels, dead brush to

00:48:02.240 --> 00:48:06.957
surround our communities knowing that
there's no fire break. All they would

00:48:07.040 --> 00:48:11.277
have had to do I talked to the top guy
that does all the cutting of this brush

00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:15.037
and and I said, "How much would this have
cost to cut a whole fire break 300

00:48:15.120 --> 00:48:17.437
yards around the palace?" He said under

00:48:17.520 --> 00:48:21.357
$500,000 to save billions of dollars. So

00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:23.517
back to rebuilding insurance dropped

00:48:23.600 --> 00:48:25.597
everybody because they were smart. They

00:48:25.680 --> 00:48:28.637
saw all this dead brush into every it's

00:48:28.720 --> 00:48:31.997
illegal if I go cut. So if I'm my

00:48:32.080 --> 00:48:36.557
backyard has Gavin Newsome State Park
dead brush coming into it. If I cut it,

00:48:36.640 --> 00:48:38.477
those are protected milk veetch.

00:48:38.560 --> 00:48:40.317
>> You're going to get a fine. I can the

00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:43.757
LWP got fined $1 million for cutting

00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:46.877
some dead brush around a downed pole in

00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:51.117
these state parks. So the carb who's
in charge of this these people that care

00:48:51.200 --> 00:48:54.877
more about plants. They're also ruining
the federal fire service right now and

00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:57.277
they're fighting literal the federal

00:48:57.360 --> 00:48:58.957
government right now to protect these

00:48:59.040 --> 00:49:02.157
plants again over people. So back to

00:49:02.240 --> 00:49:06.957
building. No, I won't be able to build
build until we win the lawsuit against

00:49:07.040 --> 00:49:11.837
Gavin Newsome and his state parks
and the city and the LWP, which we are.

00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:13.437
>> What What is the
lawsuit that you filed?

00:49:13.520 --> 00:49:15.917
>> It's a mass tort.
There's 10,000 victims

00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:20.637
for the negligence they let. So, but
people don't realize because they're not

00:49:20.720 --> 00:49:25.917
in the weeds or we should we say in the
milk veetch on this. Uh on New Year's

00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:27.597
Eve, there was a fire in the Pacific

00:49:27.680 --> 00:49:31.757
Palisades, 8 acres. They put it out. The

00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:33.997
state park did not monitor that fire,

00:49:34.080 --> 00:49:35.917
which is in their state park manual, and

00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:38.957
they let it smolder leading into a known

00:49:39.040 --> 00:49:41.757
wind event that was coming on January

00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:44.557
6th, January 7. I've now had firefighter

00:49:44.640 --> 00:49:46.957
whistleblowers tell me that there was

00:49:47.040 --> 00:49:51.597
clearly smoldering coals on the side
of this hill. And now in the depositions

00:49:51.680 --> 00:49:55.517
with the state park employees, we have
their photos. They took photos of the

00:49:55.600 --> 00:49:57.997
hillside just smoking. And when asked,

00:49:58.080 --> 00:49:59.837
"Why didn't you do anything?" They say,

00:49:59.920 --> 00:50:02.557
"Oh, we're not firefighters." So, the

00:50:02.640 --> 00:50:05.437
state park is liable for allowing a

00:50:05.520 --> 00:50:07.517
dangerous condition to burn down the

00:50:07.600 --> 00:50:10.957
community. The LWP is liable for leaving

00:50:11.040 --> 00:50:15.277
the reservoirs empty and having no water.
And the city is liable. So

00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:18.557
basically, you're just trying to set the
record straight, hopefully get back some

00:50:18.640 --> 00:50:22.157
recompense for you and these other
families, but is most of it this first

00:50:22.240 --> 00:50:26.877
part of just like make the record public
of of all of this incompetence and the

00:50:26.960 --> 00:50:29.517
hope that people realize that it
doesn't need to be this way.

00:50:29.600 --> 00:50:34.077
>> That was initially why I was out making
my videos and doing the content to like

00:50:34.160 --> 00:50:37.837
help my community. And then when I saw
Mayor Bass was just automatically going

00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:41.517
to be the mayor again. I was like, "Oh,
no way." And then I called Rick Russo. I

00:50:41.600 --> 00:50:42.637
said, "Are you going to run or what?"

00:50:42.720 --> 00:50:46.957
He's like, "No." I was like, "Oh, it's
on." So then I ran with the intention to

00:50:47.040 --> 00:50:51.197
just try to stop her from becoming
mayor if that meant me being mayor. It

00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:55.437
honestly people are like, "Oh, you have
no experience." Oh, to enforce the law.

00:50:55.520 --> 00:50:57.437
What LA needs is a mayor that enforces

00:50:57.520 --> 00:50:59.997
the law. Neither Mayor Bass nor Niti

00:51:00.080 --> 00:51:02.637
Ramen have any intention on enforcing

00:51:02.720 --> 00:51:05.837
the laws because it doesn't look good.

00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:09.757
It doesn't look good if you tell
the illegal food vendors that they can't

00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:14.397
ruin a small business that's been paying
taxes for 40 years. Oh, you're you're

00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:19.037
messing with this community, this atrisisk
community. No, this is illegal.

00:51:19.120 --> 00:51:22.797
They're they're destroying this family's
business. So, these simple things that I

00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:23.997
would have been able to do as mayor.

00:51:24.080 --> 00:51:28.317
That's unfortunate that it's going
to take four years of pure destruction for

00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:29.997
them people to call me up in four years

00:51:30.080 --> 00:51:34.237
like, "Let's go and I'll be ready." Um,

00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:37.197
so you know, >> Spencer,
are you are you still are you

00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:39.997
still doing content? Like what are
you doing right now with your time?

00:51:40.080 --> 00:51:42.317
>> So there's three opportunities that you

00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:45.677
know are in play and yes I you know

00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:47.677
content what I realized when I got out

00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:50.877
of this is the media and this sounds

00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:53.437
very pot

00:51:53.520 --> 00:51:58.077
lies like there's so many lies that I
witnessed all day long firsthand in my

00:51:58.160 --> 00:52:02.317
city that I was like I need to be out
here making content with the truth. It's

00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:05.757
not it's not a it's in the center.
I keep saying people like, "Oh, he's a

00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:10.317
Republican." No, the truth doesn't have
a side. It's that it's that that simple.

00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:14.557
And these people across the country
now are trying to destroy it. They truly

00:52:14.640 --> 00:52:18.877
are. And when you start living this all
day long, like me, it's not for LA now.

00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:22.157
And I'm like, damn, I got to fight
for America. Like, I'm like Jason Bourne.

00:52:22.240 --> 00:52:25.677
This is crazy. So, yeah. No, I you know,

00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:29.197
now I'm flying to New York and meeting
with people in New York, trying to help

00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:33.037
them because I don't want New
York to go down even worse than

00:52:33.120 --> 00:52:34.237
>> I have a suggestion for you.

00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:36.557
>> So, what were the other two things?
You said there was three things. Is that

00:52:36.640 --> 00:52:39.837
that all three? >> No,
there there's three plays. I see,

00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:43.917
you know, but I mean, I was going to be
the big guy in AI as mayor because I was

00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:48.877
going to turn Skid Row into all
just data centers. [laughter] So,

00:52:48.960 --> 00:52:52.397
>> I mean, you're weaving, you're speaking
our language. I had a I actually had a

00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:56.557
call trying to like get the information
about data centers with [laughter] a guy

00:52:56.640 --> 00:53:00.717
that knows data centers. He said and he
said, "Spencer, do you understand this

00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:02.877
is the time for like a city like LA

00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:06.077
whose infrastructure is collapsing into

00:53:06.160 --> 00:53:09.917
the ground to take private business and
billions of dollars be like, "Hey, yes,

00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:12.157
you can put this data center where we

00:53:12.240 --> 00:53:16.957
have naked drug addict zombies and no
actual human being can go for 50 blocks.

00:53:17.040 --> 00:53:20.877
We're going to put that here. But you
need to redo our water pipes. You need

00:53:20.960 --> 00:53:23.517
to redo our >> We can retrain
the fentinel addicts to

00:53:23.600 --> 00:53:27.597
be electricians.
Meta's got a program for that.

00:53:27.680 --> 00:53:31.357
>> You know, as I drove over here,
I >> solved two problems at once.

00:53:31.440 --> 00:53:34.157
>> You know, there's a I was going
to solve a lot of problems. So that's

00:53:34.240 --> 00:53:38.557
>> But Spencer, in all seriousness,
>> you're incredibly quickwitted and

00:53:38.640 --> 00:53:42.877
entertaining on camera.
You should consider doing reality TV.

00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:46.877
You know, you know why I don't like
reality TV and it's the only thing worse

00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:50.797
than people in politics
is there's too much image crafting

00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:55.197
>> and that's what makes a bad reality
shows. Now everyone is image crafting

00:53:55.280 --> 00:53:59.437
trying to create a persona. What's going
to be in the comment section? What are

00:53:59.520 --> 00:54:01.197
people going to say on the blogs? You

00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:06.477
cannot be on real like the last reality
show I was on when they rebooted the

00:54:06.560 --> 00:54:09.757
hills. >> You were on a reality show >>
a couple. A couple you know you know I

00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:12.317
am the reality candidate. That's a

00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:14.877
reality check. But everybody was just

00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:17.277
faking their actual identity. And now

00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:19.437
what's so funny is if you watch any

00:54:19.520 --> 00:54:21.997
politician, they're just a bad Tik Tok

00:54:22.080 --> 00:54:27.277
influencer. Like you look at Abdul say,
he thinks he's Alex Earl. It's like like

00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:30.157
what are you what? >> Honestly,
I just got to tell you, I love

00:54:30.240 --> 00:54:34.957
you. And what a mistake
because not only would

00:54:35.040 --> 00:54:39.197
you have gotten some great done,
this would have been the most entertaining

00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:43.037
mayorship in history.
>> Well, he's got time.

00:54:43.120 --> 00:54:45.197
>> Yeah, you got to run again.

00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:48.957
>> This is [laughter] Yeah,
I know. I What's funny is I

00:54:49.040 --> 00:54:52.717
actually am way more of a threat
to these people now because I have

00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:56.317
>> You're dangerous. >> Two years
to really get into these comm.

00:54:56.400 --> 00:55:00.157
>> I suggest you torture them. tortured
Karen Bass for the next two years.

00:55:00.240 --> 00:55:02.717
>> You know, Karen Bass is not our worst

00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:04.557
nightmare. And I will never say anything

00:55:04.640 --> 00:55:07.837
positive. Nitia Ramen and the DSA people

00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:12.237
like people do not get my Democrat
friends do not understand what the DSA

00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:15.917
is. I keep telling them go on their
website. It's not a conspiracy. Read

00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:18.957
their website and you tell
me >> abolish the police. Yes.

00:55:19.040 --> 00:55:21.357
>> I mean, the list
goes on and on and this

00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:25.357
is what they stand by. And then I used
to call them commies and every like oh

00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:28.237
you can't call them commi.
Now I'm like, that sounds nice.

00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:30.477
>> It's a compliment to them.
They're anarchists.

00:55:30.560 --> 00:55:33.197
>> Like gassing them up like [laughter]

00:55:33.280 --> 00:55:33.997
crazy.

00:55:34.080 --> 00:55:38.077
>> Ladies and gentlemen, Spencer Pratt.

00:55:38.160 --> 00:55:43.880
Wow. Thanks, bro. All right. Great stuff.
