Spencer Pratt | Club Random with Bill Maher

While you are remodeling your backyard to make it more, you know, Zen, we were remodeling our merch store to make it more random. We've slapped our new logo on t-shirts, tie dyes, hoodies, and hats and all with premium printed labels. Look, I wasn't kidding, we have it because tags are like the junk mail of clothing. All merch is available exclusively at clubrandom.com. Once again that's clubrandom.com. All the ones I spent millions of dollars for years. I've got to let go of this fire. You know, we've all had our own protection energy, I thought. I don't have to think about that one. No, I do not. My phone, I can't even make it. Hey, look, I don't know where you are. How are you? We're in the campaign merch, huh? Well, I've, you know, saved me from having to style my hair or anything. Please, you know, put some palm aid in it. You have to sell me on selling. Well, thankfully, technically my merch is a donation. It's not merch. What does that mean? Then when you donate, you get that. Oh, so you donated to your own campaign? No, this one is a gift. Well, look, I have to tell you, by the way, I'm not going to like this. I feel naked without it, but I'm a little under the weather. So I'm like, but I can't, it's like I can't even do this show without having it in my hand. But I got to tell you, whatever happens everywhere I go, like restaurants when I'm out. And, you know, I'm very approachable. People are, spends a prat. When you can have spend, what do you think expensive for? I mean, you are on people's minds out here. Nobody can take that away from you. That is just a fact. I am telling you, it's anecdotal, but I'm a good sounding word because people want you on my shows. They want to, and so I mean, if nothing else happens, you, you did that. I don't think we saw that coming a year ago. I mean, again, I never planned to be the mayor of LA. I only ran to have a bigger platform to expose all the negligence is the reason why I even ran because this person in charge burned my hometown, my mom's house, my neighbors. No, just saying that's why I ran to just talk about it. I know, but you know, honestly, I keep hearing you say that you're making it a little too personal. I mean, she is not a great mayor. I don't think either. And then that is a very common view, even among a lot of Democrats. I know where I once interviewed her for an event, you know, it was a private thing. I like her. But you know, she fucked up some things. A lot of people fucked up some things. One person didn't burn your house down. Agreed. Agreed. But let me one person who's in charge of all the things they got fucked up, they burned my house down. So you have to hold somebody a response. She didn't, she was in Ghana, so she obviously didn't light the fire. So, you know, no, I know, listen, but it is personal because I have to hear my crime mom every day. And then lady across through my house burned alive. That lady with the parents, you know, so it is personal, you know, well, don't drag the parents into it. I mean, she was trying to save the parents. I can bring the homie birds. I can bring you. It's just not fair when you start with the fucking part. No, it's personal to me too. I live here too. I remember I was doing the podcast here on January 7th, 2025. And the guest was Matt Gates. And I mean, I got to say, you know, we don't see eye to eye and a lot of stuff policy wise. But this dude, like, drove through a fire to get here, and we taped until they came out of the somewhere around here, wherever the people who taping this do this. And said, you got to bug out. We taped right until we had to fucking go. And I, you know, and this is a canyon. That is a kill zone. I didn't this house already burned down once. I thought I was told. Yes, but that was more of a kitchen fire. So, it's not a lucky spot. No. LA is not a lucky spot. It's a dumb fucking place to have built a city. Look, I'm telling you, I went back on the air 10 days later was the first show of our season last year. And my first editorial was, you know, a scathing review of this saying, look, there is absolutely truth in the wind is the wind. And it's a dumb place to have built a city like this. There's not enough water. And those winds were catastrophically high. But they also fucked up so much. And it didn't have to go down that way. I mean, the fire hydrants, the water didn't come out. You know, we're looking into, well, you know, or the power lines. I would have cost a lot of money to bury the power lines. Should we have a bond? No. How about take some of the fucking exorbitant taxes I already give you and prioritize burying the power lines? Whatever. You know, the milk veg thing. You remember that thing? I remember. So the milk veg, which I didn't know what it was until I lost everything. It sounds like the ugliest plant you've ever seen. It's not even a plant we should be trying to protect. It's not beautiful. Well, it's literally an ugly bush. But it's offensive. We don't just protect the beautiful. This plant, it doesn't even have a flower coming out of it. Okay, again, it looks like a weed. Okay, what should we do? We pull weed. Should we kill all the blob fish? The milk veg should not be more protected than human beings. That's true. I mean, we agree on the real point here, which is and tell the people what it is and tell the people. So it's a dumb excuse me to the the botanist or whatever they're going to be like, it's so important to the root system. I agree. It's a great plant, but we should have 300 feet of it cleaned up. We should have fire breaks around our community. Like you said, well, we built in a and a dumb place to build, but we also let 60 years of dead brush surround it. And if you saw last week in Semi Valley, they had a fire break. And that's why all those houses didn't just burn down instantly. And again, rewind the wind in the policies. This is a big thing that we got to stop saying the wind in the policies because I was there to my house burned down at the top of the hill. It never was above 40 miles per hour. Plains were flying, helicopters went all to Dina, how the catastrophic hurricane winds hold two hours away from the policies. We didn't have a wind problem. We had a no water problem to empty reservoirs. So no, no, I'm just saying the whole thing. The wind thing is that conspiracy. The whole everything that went wrong. And I mentioned all these things. I remember going through them, like really vetting it because I wanted to get it right, but it is true that the milk vetch, again, it sounds so get it. It just by whatever its contribution of the fire was not worth it because the fire for a city that thinks it's so environmentally this and that. And the fire is the worst thing for the environment. It set our, we made 20 years of progress with what we did with cars and undidded all in one fire. And I still see I have this little thing on my desk. I've made fun of it before because it tells you, you know, how the air quality is. And it says on the bottom, you know, congratulations. You've achieved excellent air quality. Like, I fucking need my ass kissed by this fucking thing every day. Okay. But like, I see so many days when it's like, why? Why is, you know, because if when things are good, the little face of the man is green and smiling. And then many days, he's like yellow. It does not look happy. And then sometimes, well, when I smoke pot, the room, he's orange. He's very angry at the pot is like, but no, I mean, why so many days? And I think this is it. It's, it's, you know, the smoke is worse than than it would have been better to kill the milk, which I think is what we're saying. That should be your campaign slogan, by the way, just use that as like you're, you're selling yourself as the common sense guy. Right. Pratt hates milk, which that's the message you want to get out. You know, Kamala had work. We're going to give prisoners tits. This is your thing. Okay. You got to have something people can hook on to, bro. The problem is there's only certain communities that care about that. There's people that do not care that the policies burn down because they don't get the Hollywood Hills can burn down to hung sunlin. You know, Bella, these people don't care about these places burning down. And that's where all this milk vetch and deadbrush people and, you know, South Central and Eagle. These people don't care about the milk vetch. So I need to have I'm stopping making drug addicts in front of your kids. That's my get behind thing. That's, that's my winning. Oh, in that case, those people are your, yes, good to see you. Thank you for having me. Yes. In that case, those people are your allies because were united against the milk vetch. Milk, I'm anti-move vetch. I'm, as milk you are. I'm a much more of a hawk on the milk vetch than you are. Extremism in the defense of killing the milk vetch is no vetch. Here's the other thing. Obviously, if you're an environmental person, you don't care when the house is burned down, you don't care when the people burn down. But do they not care about all the animals? We lost all the coyotes, we lost the lizards, the snakes, the holes. And let's not leave out the parrots. And the hummingbirds. Oh, how many hummingbirds died, too? Uh, okay. I mean, like 1,000. Okay, let's not. Come on, it's api-cam. Oh, I didn't know that. I thought you were trying to win this fucking thing. You know, you got to be like Reagan, sunny. Where people are done with sunny, I just. But you are always a Republican, right? This isn't a conversion. So, no, this is a great story. Oh, great. I'm tear it. So, I was a very hated personality. I'm still hated by a big segment. That's why I know about you. So that's for sure. So, when you're very hated, you get a lot of threats. Especially when people didn't know reality TV wasn't real. So, I would get a lot of death threats. I would have security to try to. Okay. It's just. It just helped me. I'm gonna give you this. Well, I know, but I got to set it because, like, I have to admit to you, I, very. Before you ran from there, I'm very sketchy. I knew you were. I'm sorry to say this, but here's what I knew. I knew the name, douchebag. Uh, some reality show I couldn't have named it with a gun to my head, but I know now, 'cause I read about you in the paper. It was. No, no, the hills. Yes. It was that it's been on from the OC kind of. OC was a scripted show. Anyway, some douchebag white kids, like in those kind of, you know, places in Southern California. That's what I do, and you were like the king douchebag. This is. I'm just saying what I knew. By the way, I've been called a douchebag too. So, you like. Okay, I know. So, the lady on CBS says I was actually a douche canoe. What's that? I had never heard it until CBS Morning Show. A canoe. A douche canoe. I don't get it. I didn't either, but that's, I guess, it's an upgraded douche, I think. God, CBS isn't trouble. Anyway, okay, so that's all I know. So, now I place you. I never believe anything, by the way. People call me names well. Like, I always say, "Everybody's a monster till you talk to them." And that's why I want to talk to you. Because that's what I knew, and now we have this new you. So, tell me what you were going to tell me. Yeah, so, rewind. When I was 20, I was at USC, studying political science. I see the Osborne's on. They get $25 million. So, I call my friend, Brody Jenner, whose dad was David Foster. And I said, "Can I film a reality show about you guys?" You went too fast. David, Jody. David Foster, the music producer. I know him. So, he. Who's the kid? Brody Jenner. He's. Caitlin Jenner's son. So. When Caitlin was Bruce married to Chris, okay. At the time? Correct. I'm glad everything always comes back to the Kardashians. Yeah, so. So. Wouldn't be America if it didn't. So, they. it happened, so I sold this to Fox at 20 years old. And then that show got. You sold it. As executive producer, creator. Oh, wow. And then Foster advised me to be like Simon Cowell, which I didn't understand. It's like the villain. So I leaned into that, but Simon Cowell got to be the villain, because he's telling people how not to sing, and I just was the villain just as a douchebag. Right. So I leaned into that, and it was very profitable. But what happened is people took it very real, and obviously I kept leaning in, because I was chasing ratings bonuses, and I was all in on my character. But. It just. People took it very serious back then. This is pre-Instagram. X hadn't even dropped his Twitter. This was. You're watching the box. Five million people think that's real. So I was getting all these debt threats. So obviously my scare is like, you need to get a gun. So I get a gun. And then as I am a gun owner with my wife, in Los Angeles to have a gun, you need a CCW. So that's a concealed carry weapons for very hard to get. And the only people that supported a CCW was the Republican Party. All I cared about politically was to protect my wife, and then my kids. It's my only political thing I'm connected to. So you're that voter who they always interview, what are the issues important to you? Because the rest of the world can go for the fuck itself. It's one of the issues that are important to me. Even my family say, okay, so that was the issue important to you. It could have been abortion, it would have been something else, but to you it was just a gun. To keep my wife safe and then kids. Then people will realize I'm also, again, from LA. I don't know a single Republican. I went to Crossroads. I grew up here from the palaces. Every single one of my friends is a Democrat. Right. All the people I talk to all day long my whole life are Democrats. My older sister is the most progressive Democrat in maybe California. I don't do this party stuff. I didn't care about it. I was trying to be famous. If you talk about political politics, from my perspective, respectfully to people I'll talk about politics. They're trying to be. It's a lose, lose. You're going to piss off. Have people. I was just trying to get on shows and just be casted, so I never did politics and I only cared about anything. But now do you care about all the issues or it doesn't? No. No. I don't. Ben to cut. That's wrong answer. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. That was not a rough idea. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. It's not a rough idea. I can't. I can't. It's a rough idea. I can't. I can't. moms do not want their kids that are like five years old. It's interesting to talk to somebody who didn't take an interesting politics until recently. And I've encountered this phenomenon before, you know, where strip clubs. You ever talk to a stripper about politics? It's awesome, because they don't know what the right answer is supposed to be. And you know what they come out? Very often, more conservative. They're like, you know, why should I give my-- I work hard for my money. Why should that be-- you know, it's like-- and I'm like, you know, that's what conservatives say. Oh, no, I'm a li-- and you think you're a liberal. But you just don't know about anything. You don't know the issues. You don't know stuff like that. And you're just-- this is just your reaction to stuff. Taxes-- no taxes on tips. I'll vote for Trump tomorrow, because that's the issue that's important to them. You can't blame people for that. People are-- we're all just trying to live our own lives. And the issues that are important to-- you just have to hope that these-- and I think you're onto something. This is why everyone has asked me about you. People are having the same feeling. You know, you're not a guy who over thinks this. And they're not. And that works better. This is the state that is constantly overthinking everything and over regulating everything. Trust me, I know. I did hold bits about how I took me three years to get the solar turned on. Solar, something they want you to have. Now they're taxing, I think, for having it. They are? I think so. What do you mean you think so? You have to know that. I don't need to know about solar, you know? OK, but I need to focus on making sure the moms are safe. And the animals are not being abused. That's my party. I know. And if you're the mayor. The solar panels, that's going to be somebody I'm hiring. That's my deputy mayor's going to worry about the solar panels. No, I got bad news. If you're the mayor, you are going to have to learn some of these issues more-- We're panels. We're about three years from worrying about solar panels. We need to get all the naked drug addicts off of the sidewalks. And then I can worry about solar panels. But we can't walk in to gum at the same time we get. With the state of LA right now, the solar panels, you spit that gum out. I love the idea of getting the drug addicts treatment and giving them job opportunities. And if we need more solar panels, personally, I think we got to investigate the LADWV. Why you even need a solar panel. You pay so much money for regular electricity that we got to check why our rates are going up 10% plus every month. And we're not getting better lectures. Alkaline water is not coming out of our tap. So I'll get back to you on the solar panels. But my total poll is make sure people don't have home invasions every single night. Make sure you're not losing your poll suspension, because we haven't fixed a road. I'm basic. That's why I'm resonating. Common sense basic stuff. People that are struggling to live in LA right now because they're so expensive and they're stepping in a human poop. They don't care about your problem with the solar panel right now. But they may, once I get rid of the poop and I may get more affordable to live, then they may want solar panels. But like my schedule, I have been to do this for eight years. So we got a lot of time to learn about your issue. Eight years. I'm going to be mayor for eight years. Oh, I see. We're looking ahead. Once I, I'm going to be the best mayor ever for four years, then they're going to just be like, please, Spencer. Come back for more. The guy who knows his priorities, you know, in a general sense, I don't think you're wrong. And again, lots of people agree. I mean, anytime any polity is ruled by one party, it's not good. Not even if you are a Democrat. You have to understand that it's not good, because you need the check on the other. People do tend to get drunk with power when they have all of it. And they just go way toward one, that the ship just tilts toward one, two, one side, two men. And that's what has happened with the state of California. I mean, it's funny, because this state, you know, look. I've lived here since 1983. I fucking loved it. I've said it many times. This city sucked my dick on the first date. It just did. I just fell in love with it right away, grew up on the East Coast, but you know, and I get very showvinistic about it. You know, when I hear people, "Oh, California, you're this and you're that like fuck you." You know what? First of all, we are in an industry that you patronize probably more than anything else. Without us, you'd have to talk to your family at night. We make the things you watch. Shut the fuck up, it's your popcorn. You know, we're also in industry by the way that never is asking for any help from the government. You know, we make our own money. You know, we're not like corn farmers, you know, or the oil people when they're having a bad year, or the auto industry, or the whole fucking state of Alaska. We never ask for a dime, because our product works, especially overseas. Yeah, and I would say that's one of the problems with this business is we should have fought for these tax credits, these post-production tax credits. Why is people in England getting uncapped tax credits or Massachusetts? So yes, that's true, but we should have been. It's saying, "Hey, no, we need these tax credits here. We need the support of the government. We bring the cool to LA. We make people tourism comes to LA because they saw Baywatch." Or they saw, "That was the problem. We were so as entertainers and entertainers." We should have been more, give us a piece of the pie because we let them make it so the business did get hijacked. I have heard that it's cheaper to shoot LA anywhere but LA. You have to find a city that can double as LA because with the taxes and the regulations and the unions and extras have to be whatever it is. They just made it, and many businesses have left this state. Do you have a plan for that? I mean, all the business-- Well, you're ready for this? Yeah, I am ready. It goes back to my, we have a totem pole, not it, and call a totem pole. But the reason why everyone's leaving-- I'm not sure he's supposed to say totem pole anymore. And the end of the end is always very touchy. Even if it's a compliment, the brave. How dare you? Peerment, who can't do Peerment, maybe. Yeah, that's the Egyptian. This is a price, don't you have a fuck? On my chart. So when you start with safety, you make things safe again. Right now, because now everyone's coming to meet with me because there's a lot of people believe I'm winning. Like who? People that don't want to meet telling you who they are. Really? They're all coming to meet with me. And the problem with-- Are you doing business leaders? Anybody you would think would never meet with me is now me, the list is mind boggling. Suddenly, the douchebag is the big man-- You know, I'm fine. I have no judgment. You didn't like me before. You still don't like me. You want L.A. to be number one. Less great. It takes a douchebag to kill a muck fetch. That is what I-- That's why-- I'm there, you can go. There it is. There it is. And it's the bureaucracy of this city that does not want to put-- that let these people put their money in here. And they don't want to invest in L.A. Because we allow the naked drug addicts in front of the hotel-- Wait, you keep saying that. You got to realize, I get one. I think I'm really naked. But naked, if you give me your phone number, I will send you 1,000 naked drug addict videos of me. I don't have to think about that one, no. No, no, no. I do not want one. My phone, I can't even have a naked picture. I can't even look at my phone anymore. Because the whole city sends me their naked drug addict content. Again, I don't mean to be the campaign manager, but just don't offer to send naked pictures to anybody. They're videos and at least-- Until the campaign is over. Then send all the naked pictures to one. The Eric's wall well came to me once. No, I'm kidding. OK, so if you make the streets safe and clean again and you welcome investment-- so these, let's say, this group of very successful people that want to invest in downtown L.A. They offered to buy up 40 blocks, put a four-to-while housing, middle-level housing, nice. And they come to Mayor Bass with this deck that now I've been presented. Mayor Bass says, oh, well, you can put all the homeless people in these buildings. No, we want to put the working people in the city of L.A. Oh, no, we're not going to do that. The homeless, drug addict people do not need beds. They need treatment, mandatory treatment. You cannot-- and I've grown up in L.A. I know about addicts. I know about addiction. You cannot give a drug addict a bed and say, here's this bed. You could offer them any bed in the city. They don't want a bed. They want a new high. They want some new fentanyl. They want some new supermeth. We need to get these people help to get them sober. Then we get them the beds and the sheltering and the community and the rehab. But this program that's cost 24 billion of our tax money has increased homeless. So that's how I win, because I say, hey, everybody, this isn't working. We all know it. And we're paying for the destruction of our own city, but they can't say it, because they won't get reelected, because they're deep in this failure. They would be better off to just say, hey, this didn't work. We're going to pivot. We tried this one, but we have a new plan, but they can't. My opponents will say, we need more beds. We need more beds. These beds cost $100,000 of bed. So I've said this before, and I feel like the conventional wisdom answered to it that I get is that it's-- for this reason, unfeasible, for this reason, unfeasible, blah, blah, blah. Tell me why someone is running and is going to inherit this problem for eight years. Tell me why it's not feasible for the homeless answer to be one, you can't stay on the streets. I'm sorry you just can't, because the streets are public, and the people need that. And it's just, for a million reasons, it's disease, and it's just not right. It's just not your right. This is not an alternative lifestyle, homelessness, which is how the woke up turned it into. Like I always say, old-school liberals, we thought the compassionate thing was to get them off the street, not to enable them to stay on the street, like they're an endangered species and they're natural habitat. It's fucking ridiculous. OK, so that's A, you can't stay on the street. B, why can't there be barracks for lack of a better word? But yes, barracks. And they say, well, it's unsafe in there. How much would it cost to hire a security guard for literally every row of the barracks? Is that going to cost $24 billion? I know some guys will do it for like $28 an hour, you know? Just make it safe. Why is that so impossible to make a homeless shelter safe? Because you have to put people somewhere where the doctors can come in, or the specialists whoever's going to wean them off, the drugs. You're right, treatment. But we can't treat them on the street, and we don't want to give them hotel rooms. That's crazy. You have to go to a place, a humane place. This is not some sort of Nazi program. You're off the street, and you have a roof over in your heads. We will make it safe, feed you, get you back on your feet. We can watch you and make sure you don't do-- there's no drugs getting in here. Again, this is something that's impossible in prisons, impossible to stop. I bet they could do it in Saudi Arabia, because they'd cut your hands off if you did it. Not that I'm suggesting that. But you could. So you just described, which I know you have not watched, my eight-minute video describing exactly my plan. You go to the federal government. You say, there's so much beautiful nature. With these trees, you take a big piece of land. Right now, Mayor Bass will say there's only 42,000 people living on the street. The RAN corporation will say it's 30%. All right, let's say it's 70,000 people. Right now, it's cheaper to literally build an entire facility. They'll go, oh, it's a concentration. No, they have insane, cheaper, prefabricated homes. They actually look like houses with little fences. You could build enough of these. You could build miles of these. You put the facilities with the medical people. Some people are veterans. That's their corner of this beautiful place, where, of course, the media is going to come watch and try to be like Spencer's doing this. Come look. They can be right around a golf cart. They can be eating airwarn there. There's, we have enough money to have combo plates for home-- No, that's how much we spend. I don't know, I'm just saying. The airwarn. But my point is, really, there's that money so far. But one is, we spend that much money to have them live in our pieces and doubt that we can have them living up like kings. And there, we get them sober. We give them how we teach them how to clear the milk vetch. They come back. And they're going to do fire breaks for the fire department. We're going to teach them how to help come clean the trash. They can work with sanitation. We need to get people off the street, get them sober, and give them the opportunity to then have a job. Ready for the best part? 60% of the people in Los Angeles that are experiencing homelessness. They're not from California. They've been brought here by NGOs that profit off of this homeless industrial complex. Medicaid-- Wait, wait, wait, they've been brought here? They've been brought here. Who did that? Body brokers bring these people here from where? All across the country. If you're an addict, you can come to LA and get these rehabs. And because you're a medic, you have a social-- It's also-- if you're going to be-- shall we say outdoors your whole life, it's better to be here than in Minneapolis. 100% so a lot of these people. I think that's part of the attraction. I don't know, this is a big plot. You think this is a big-- There's a big part where this is-- I talk to these people who are now sober, offent and all, off-meth, and they say they got-- Literally brought here through a rehab, trying to get objects. The money runs out, boom, left on the street. This is multiple stories of this. So that's a Tim Waltz. He never stops being a fucker. Sending the fucking people. I don't know what state they're from, exactly. But they're not from LA. So again, whether they go through this amazing facility that we have that I was always resources for treatment, not let you die in your feces on fentanyl. But you may want to go back to Oklahoma and we help facilitate getting you now that you're sober. You probably have a mom. You probably have a, 'cause if you don't, I was in South Central the other day. This mom came up to me crying and she goes, my daughter is not homeless. I hate when people say that. She has a home, my family loves her, but she's addicted to meth right now on Skid Row. She needs help to get off the meth so she can come home. There's a lot of these people that if you get off the drugs, they have a place to go. They would go back to Oklahoma. Maybe it's not Oklahoma, but-- Georgia. Hers was South Central before me. You know what? Remember the song Midnight Train to Georgia? They're just leaving. They're just not. On that Midnight Train to Georgia, you know why? He came out here to be a big star, didn't work out, but Gladys Knight is sticking by him. But he's leaving on that Midnight Train to Georgia. I don't know about that train, though. He's telling me with him, then to live here in LA, she says. LA is amazing if you-- It is amazing. And that's-- I'm fighting because I love this place so much. I only wanted to be famous-- again, let's rewind. Because when I grew up being famous in LA was the greatest thing you could do in the world. The restaurants, the red carpets, the club-- Oh, that's gone. Anyone that I know that obviously doesn't say they know me. The clubs are gone. The restaurants are closing 100 at a time a year. There's no clubs. There's 50% less club. I mean, I was with last night with one of the biggest club promoters at the Dodger game, since we were in 20 years old. He's been in the game. I know the club game. It's my douchebag expertise, the nightlife. Let me tell you something. It's struggling. Let me tell you something, pal. When I was in the club, and I mean the club, that's-- I would say those were my douchebag years. Because if you're in the club, you are probably engaging in douchey behavior. It's just a douchey place. I like them. I'll never hate on the club. I've met my wife in the club, so you can have lunch. Oh, I met on the dance floor in the club. I met a lot of good times in the club. I'm not expecting you to be in the club. You could find your wife in the club. You found your wife in the club. A privilege, club privilege, on the dance floor. Club privilege. Where was that? On sunset. What year is this? 2007, 2006. OK, I was probably out of the clubs by now. Not by a-- This is my lunch and dinner. Thank you very much. Oh, good. Thank you. I remember a good time. I hope you are. I do. When your producer sat me down, he's like, here's your filtered water. We poured for you. Here's your favorite organic tequila. I was like, where am I? Those are the best. You're a club random, right? The best podcast I've ever done. It is. It's great. Thank you. But, yeah, no. I mean, that's the other thing I know about you is your wife. And at one time, I mean, look, I hate to put it this way. But what I remember about this story was huge tips. Either she got-- She's had threes there now, regular-- What is this state of the tip? They're not what you call huge. But they were at one point at one time. OK, so what happened there? I think-- when you go, I've witnessed it as firsthand. When you're talking to a plastic surgeon, their version of minor, like, oh, this is a-- they use the word minor. I don't think how chat GPT or Claude would say minor is. So I think that was the disconnect with the word minor. Why are we using words like minor in a medical situation? No, 'cause we use words like centimeter. Shouldn't we be using-- What I've learned from witnessing being around plastic surgery is there's no such thing as a minor surgery. It's like less than I can pass on. If you're going to a plastic surgeon is using vague flowery words like that, this is a quack. I mean, even bras have sizes. A cup, B cup, C cup, D cup, right? I mean, if they can do it with bras, this guy is more vague than a bra. All right, Pete. Like, he's-- he passed away. If I was getting my chance done, I would know exactly what they were going to look like and how big they would be. Well, you know, I haven't a point. Yeah, I was going to say, I'm sure he'll get you a good deal. OK, but then she had breast reduction? Yes, he did. Yeah, so I don't think you respectfully wouldn't notice anything. I respectfully wouldn't comment or-- Well, you know, we brought it up, so I was telling you. Well, I just-- It's because I'm telling you, this is like my history. Your algorithm is unique. No, but my history of you is like 2007 douchebag. And then years of nothing, you're kind of like Jesus. We know about His birth. And then suddenly, he's on his ministry. We know nothing about his teenage years. I think he was a very awkward teenager, bad skin, that juu-fro. He had-- Jesus, I'm probably going to say I used to get a lot of facials. Probably bad at sports. But yeah, but that whole swath of time disappears. What happened between, like, when the show went off and the mayoral run? How long is this podcast? So my most successful thing of my career is I started the number one crystal business online. And I was making a quarter million a month selling beautiful gemstones. Really? And then the pandemic hit. And I was no longer an essential business. And I had to close up my 18 employee. It was a life-changing thing, because this was it for my family. So that-- Pandemic, you're so rough on crystals. You know what I mean? Well, I'm family. It's just like it's the first thing to go, you know. And isn't it a health thing, isn't it? I tried to fight it, say, this is medicinal for some people. But aren't they? Don't people-- There's people that definitely believe that-- But you don't. You were just selling it for aesthetic. You know, I love them. And I always like to believe they have energy. But when they all burned in my house, all the ones I spent millions of dollars for years-- I wish got to let go of this fire. You know, we've all had a-- I'm just saying that the protection energy I thought they had, I had a lot of black termally and by the front door. Well, that's-- I had a tiger's eye. So the fact they all went up, I said, I'm going to protect anything. It's asking a lot of a crystal to protect from a fire about something. I'm just saying that you're asking-- There are a lot of them. And did you say a thousand tigers are-- Tiger's eyes are protection. That's one of them. It was definitely a-- What is tiger's eye? Is there a specific thing that it does? Protection energy. Well, just protection. But others do other things like-- Yeah, of course. Like Kunzai, which is one of my favorite crystals. Kunzai. I'm not saying it. OK. Thank you. Oh, no. I know. You can spell it any way you want. I am not planning any political capital on that. It's for your heart, Shocker. Oh, I'm sure it is. So it opens up your heart. Oh, I'm sure it is. It'll open up Twitter. It's what it'll open up. Oh, that's my favorite thing. So what does it do for you? It opens your heart, Shocker. Again, this is what they say. OK, but you're selling them. You don't-- No, I don't sell them with the eye. Oh, I see. There's also people who love them because they're rare earth minerals. So the same person who loves a fossil, loves stones, because like my collection would have been in a museum. When I died, it was said, the Pratt family at the Natural History Museum. That's the type of collection I want. So do you just keep them near you or do you put them up your ass? There's definitely people that put them up their behinds. That's a thing for sure. Oh, I'm so glad now that you're running for mayor. We're not saying ass. Of all the things Spencer to draw the line. I know, I know. I'm not counting into this sort of depravity. I just know by algorithm. And if I say that, we won't get-- That's the fee now. That's the smartest thing you've said. No, then you're so right. Let's try to always look ahead to what those assholes in the media will cover because they never cover the right things. They are just so craving. And what's worse is they know better. They often know what's important. And sometimes they don't because they're also stupid. So they're going to cover the stupidest, lowest fucking thing to get the most amount of clicks. So you're very wise to do that, to go, no, I'm not going to give you that. And it's-- I give them enough. You give them enough. I give them enough. Right. But I also, I'm not going to give them-- But boy, I'm right in trouble tonight. But I'm in trouble every night, I don't know. I don't think so. You're sitting with the-- I'm going to be the mayor in seven days. Is that when the election is done? Oh, I think we're dropping this right before. So they'll get to see this. It'll be like your final-- This is it. Yeah, you know, that's the one that matters. Trump in 2016 spent nothing. Hillary outspent him by a zillion. And the day before the election, because he knows people don't pay attention until the day before they do it like Christmas shopping. The Christmas eve, they're out in the store at the last minute, shit. And he just dropped that hour special. It was like, you know, an hour long ad. And it was all about how it was his spiel. There was his original spiel. And it fucking worked, especially in places where people were feeling the economy was not working for them. and you know, it was all, it's, it's, it's, so I was. now, since it was led the biggest grifter kind of administration ever, but it was all about how the Wall Street types, and they are backers of Hillary and the Democrats, how they've taken it, and they have, but that's also capitalism. We don't want to go to socialism to a degree that I would say is very close to communism. I'm talking about Mandami. I'm talking about, I think, the mayor in Seattle maybe now. One of my opponents. And one of your opponents, exactly. And again, I'm not, look, communism is a form of government. You're allowed to back it, you're allowed to be it, you're allowed to vote for it. Let's just us pretend that one, we haven't tried it a lot around the world, and it's a disaster. One, two, that if you are, you know, for like seizing personal property and certain other things that Mandami or his very close lieutenants have said outright, you know, a home ownership is racist. If you are believing these radical things, yes, you are communist. So, what is the status? That's interesting. So it's a three-person race. Well, not anymore. After the debate, the one lady, the communist socialist, she went from six, Councilman Rahman. She went from 64% on Kalshi to 8% so she got bought, she's done. And after one debate with me, yeah, because she wasn't at 64%. She was leading. She was. She was leading Karen Bass. Yes. So, that's really this, you can check the, yes, I don't remember seeing that, but yeah. Well, Kalshi is, again, that's not a poll. And there's no polls. Again, let me, let's talk about polls for a second, because I'm technically 22% in the poll. They just put out, embassies, 25%. The people that are voting for me, they're not picking up a spam call and they're not talking to a stranger coming up to them. Right. Can I talk? They're running from these people. Absolutely. So true. So, I don't even go off of that. But again, with Kalshi, I didn't even know respectfully what these betting apps were until I'm in this race. And I'm like, "Why are they always tagging me in this?" The normal, excuse me, the average person doesn't have enough money to be betting on every single thing you can think of. Well, I don't know about that. This is an awful lot of crazy, I mean, I didn't know about gambling, because I've never gamble. Well, it's a huge issue. Polly market. Yeah, now I get it. Now, my point is my voters aren't gambling, because they are trying to stay, they're trying to pay their bills. Yes. Exactly. Because some of them are behind in their bills precisely because they're undraft kings. You don't think that that's a thing. That is a thing. I'm telling you. Again, I'm getting elected with moms, though. I don't think moms are on these. Moms know. No, it's douchebag guys. Hopefully I can appeal to you. I was going to say, "Well, I just found a new sex in home." Your core audience. I guess I have more voters than I realize. Your core audience. I totally forgot. I mean, you must own the bros, first of all, they, the bros are Republican. No. Well, here's what's happened. Socialism has captivated people, because everyone has, this is my, this is my thought. Sure. I feel like people are all hyped on socialism, because they're like, "Everything's so expensive. America's failed. Give me money." But what they're forgetting is all the people that these socialists are saying they're taking the money and giving it, they're going to leave. And then they're not going to have any money to take from these people to give to you. I keep telling people the way we get you money is stopping the socialism, letting that successful rich people build businesses, build restaurants, put money into your pocket, because there's more jobs, there's more opportunity. That's how we actually get you more money to lie to you and tell you we're going to tax these rich people. We already taxed so much in LA in California. I can't even comprehend taxing more, what's happening is we tax these people and then other rich people, the champagne, socialists, scammers, steal that money because they're all connected to the people taxing them and then the people that should see the money, the communities, though after the boys and girls clubs, the parks, the actual infrastructure doesn't see that money because different rich people stole the money that was being taxed from the rich people. I feel like Robin Hood, because I'm coming in and I'm going to say, where's all this money? We're done with everyone stealing the tax money, we're going to actually put it to the people that have turned its socialism because they say America doesn't work, it doesn't work if we let people steal all the tax money and we have no accountability and transparency. And look, you're not the first guy to say these kind of things, it's all who can actually do it, who can stand up to what is going to come up against you when you actually try to implement, I, but really, I mean, I promise I'm the only one, okay, and I hope you are. I'm the one. I hate you so much. I know. When you said don't be so personal, it's personal for me. It's kind of good in a way that you aren't the douchebag because like, if you're already hated, then you don't have to, because trust me, what you're going to go up against is a state that is just full of special interests, all of which are very, very powerful. I mean, you can't do anything in this state without like getting a license or an inspection. I bitched about this many times. I wanted to change my garage door. It was built as a three and it really is only for two. I'm a humble man. It's not a three car garage, you ever built that one and a big themselves up and tell some check, I got a three, you don't, you have a two car garage and that's fine. I have one car. I'm a simple man, one car, one house, one plane, simple person, no. So just to get my garage door changed, took three inspections. First of all, why are you inspecting at all? I'll handle it. I'm a homeowner. I'm an adult, I don't need you looking over my shoulder, because I'm changing a garage door or throwing a frisbee or braiding hair or anything else. They want to get their beak wet, charging a fee for a license or some bullshit. This state is all these fucking pigs at the trough. Let me give you a perfect example. My house burns down, back to your wife, everything. You ready? No, watch, watch. No, watch. I'm going to fucking burn down. That's what it is. I'm not going to get. Watch, watch, it's ready. I know. Look at this. Look at your campaign. It's fire. Look at this. They are in court telling me they had no legal responsibility to make sure my house doesn't burn down. Who said the city? The city. But yet, the city, if I want to rebuild right now with my California Fairplan $1 million I got, they want to put a million two into K-sons into the dirt because now to be up to the zone for the hill I live in, these K-sons weren't there. What are K-sons? They go into the bedrock. What? This house was 60 years old. I didn't have these. What's the K-sons? They're like circular things that go into the ground, deep down to the house together because now they care. Well, they sound important. They sound them. They didn't care that my house burned down and they don't, and they say, so now they've changed the zoning that I need a million to in things that go down the dirt that weren't there for 60 years. But was your house in a place because a lot of houses in LA are in places that are precarious because, I mean, that's probably why the K-sons is down there because they're with there. I know, but like. Now they want them? No, but because they've, oh, the K-sons. They were never there for 60 years as this house was there. And they were supposed to be? No. This is the new thing. So like you're saying with your three people coming showing up, it's just more money. More money. How can we build more? How can we have more red tape? Yes. How can we stop building? No, it's. That's one of these Yimbi people. I keep telling them, I'm going to be the savior of the Yimbi people. Do you know what a Yimbi is? Not in my backyard. No, no. That's a Yimbi. Oh. What's a Yimbi? Yimbi, yes, in my backyard. Yes, in my backyard. So these people think I'm anti-them because I stopped, I tried to stop the Yimbi people from putting. You're not anti-them. You're pro, then. I want to build things. That's what I'm. The confusion. I want to build all across LA in all the space we have. I don't want it to be in a street where you can't put a seven-story building because if everyone is evacuated, there's no parking. They think everyone rides bikes. People don't. Not everybody rides bikes. I wish. This sounds like a. Yay! Wizard of Oz. We all ride bikes. No, we don't. People have cars. And there's no parking now. So we need to find where you can put these beautiful buildings. Or that go buildings. I'm going to work with some incredible architects all across the city, but not next to the single family house. So I'm all about building a cutting red tape and stopping this bureaucracy, but they think because I didn't want a seven-story cement building on a street that you can't even park on in a high-fire, severity zone. And I was like, "No, we can't do that." You're like, "Oh, he's an Yimbi." I'm like, "No, let's build. We need things to be more affordable. We need more housing. But it needs a B where all the naked drug addicts are that we're going to move and put to beautiful nature with the Air Wong combo plates." Stop talking about the naked drug addicts, naked pictures, naked drug addicts. They're all naked. They are all naked. They don't have to tell the truth. They're really? They are all naked. How do you know this? I'm going to say. You said you don't want the video. I know. I'm asking they're coming your way tell me verbally verbally for some reason why you're on super met and Fennel you end up naked Oh, and these people are on that and they are But naked in the middle of the street in front of schools and This is not made up It's gonna give me a lesson because I'm saying the truth right and you you absolutely do not sound like someone who has been Disadged in the least by consultants campaign managers consultant or a campaign manager. I keep it that way I'm telling you you either you should either live or die with exactly what you're doing the thing about the bikes I love it. Keep that in no, but again I will make bike lanes in downtown where the zombies were it's they're gonna have by I say we're gonna build bike lanes in the sky like to buy they're gonna go through tubes It's just you know, it's just a great metaphor for one of the liberals Bad qualities, which is think they imagine what the world should be and then just pronounce that it is like no We're not there and you just can't you just can't decree my favorite other thing that the people I love to attack me Like he's never been on a Metro or the train everybody that sends me videos of this the drug addicts in the Fennel who've been on the on the Metro I'm gonna make people actually want to use public transportation because I'm gonna make it safe And I'm gonna take the human poop off of it So they're gonna love me these people that think that they don't love me give me a couple years You're gonna be wearing shirts with my face on it like Gimba Spencer. He loves transportation Nobody's gonna go on the transportation if you have drug addicts that are doing drugs pooping on the seats attacking the nice old ladies. We need to make it safe and clean This is a society. This is not breaking news You have to have a safe clean society to have functioning Transportation to build to put money. We have lost the plot so crazy and again, let's rewind the only reason I'm even in this running is because these people failed me if they had been Republicans if Newsom was replying I would have gone against Newsom if Mayor Bass was a Republican how go I didn't say oh I'm going after them because they are part of the Democratic Party No, they failed me as a tax paying citizen. You're right. That's it. I don't go. Yeah I will smoke you if you're a Republican and you burn my mom's house down, right? Again with the house burn. This is okay It's the real No, I know I don't refer these old ladies are crying. My arms. No, I remember a friend of mine's house burned down in one of our other many fires and I never talked to somebody about and he said it's so interesting Interesting charitable word, but he had a good attitude about it. He said, you know, I don't even have any clothes I have nothing to wear so you know you're all you're never thinking about that all these clothes were in the house the house burned down And it's like suddenly you're like, okay, we're better off than a lot of people We're not in a FEMA camp. We were rich enough to stay at a hotel, but yeah, I have no clothes now like and you can So when I first started running for mayor, I would go to meetings that I'm wearing my wife's merch as a shirt and people take wife big tits They're smaller tits. They're lovely. They're lovely They're they're they're beautiful sides. I'm very blessed So I'm wearing her shirt and I'm in all I have is these shirts That's all I had and people you got to dress in suits. I said I had suits. They all burn down Yeah, people can't come I don't have a photo of my entire life before an iPhone maybe five when I iPhone six because my parents house all so burned down there's not a single thing from my life Period, so that like this idea that when people go, oh, he's that guy from the reality show I reference the fire because the guy from post January 7th has nothing to do with the guy It's on to be famous being the famous douchebag to get checks to get clickbait That's a different human being by the way the reality show guy thing that is a complete non-issue We are so far past that Trump is twice elected president He was a game show host and a business man and Reagan was a bad actor and you know We are so far past where the public gives a shit if you went to Harvard In fact, they'd probably more likely hold it against you and they're kind of right I mean my opponent went to Harvard and she can't talk in a debate Harvard and MIT She can't just hold the microphone. I guess it's look some great people I mean I'm not shading the universities, but I don't mean you can run No, no, I want to be happy. You could read a book. No, some great people out of Harvard But it's also an asshole factory The kids are chanting for Hamas. We don't have to get into that issue, but this is a place I will go here because I grew up in L.A. All my best friends are Jewish. I grew up going to Crossroads I've been to more bar and bought mitzvahs than I'd been to church Tell I was maybe still it's Pied to the point where of course when I'm running for mayor. I'm going to temples I'm supporting my Jewish friends the level of psycho Nazi lunacy that came at me to just say that I want my friends and family To feel safe in L.A. To feel safe if their kids go to UCLA I had to see if the only thing that came out of this whole experience there's a lot of things if I'd go for bid Not or God's plan. I don't win to see what people experience right now just because of their religion is Is diabolical and again, I don't care if you're Muslim. I don't care what I don't care how you identify I don't care if you're trans. I don't care whatever you do But you should have the right to do that and feel safe wherever you are whether it's going to school go into your Popping trans bar whatever it is right you should feel safe and not feel in danger and that's my back time my common sense Right and again, this is a california conservative You're not some fire breather from the church of blah blah and Kansas who's saying like trans is not in the Bible We're Californians even when we're conservative Arnold Schwarzenegger You know we're not they're not and I'm not a Republican for sure, but they're not crazy people In fact, the most popular people in this country political wise, you know who they are Republican governors of blue states Because it's a blue state so the people Bend liberal But they don't want the craziness that this state has in its one-party rule So, you know, Larry Hogan and Maryland I think the dude in Boston for a while and Massachusetts like you elect a Republican governor They can't be like fire breathing conservatives But they have to be practical and smart and be cool again with trans and gay and all these social issues that most of America Is over now most of America isn't racist this polling on this they're cool with Interracial marriage they want to live in mixed neighborhoods Of course, there's assholes out there still and there will be forever But you know just I always say let's live in the year we're living in and in that year Like the old way here is not working You know look at our numbers this I mean this is your speech you should be making not mine But you know the numbers are not good facts don't lie We spend a lot more trying to educate a kid in this in this state And do worse than places that spend way less and part of that is because the teachers union Is so strong are you are you there's a great question for you mr. Candid are you strong enough to buck the unions Because so they will this is the biggest thing that I go against because you know my opponent mayor bass has every single union endorses And they go how are you gonna win with unions? Every person that comes in them up to me in the streets they're connected to some union and they say We all love you But it's the leadership Political powers whether it's the police department the fire department the any union the longshoreman I was in San Pedro this weekend with the longshoreman These people all support my message the union leadership never reflects Actually what the people who have kids and the community they don't connect that's the backroom dealing that as mayor I will do whatever I can to make sure the membership because with the disconnect from the membership to then the politicians because even the People in the unions their politicians even the police department that's at the higher politician The chief of the fire department politicians the people below him politicians We need the people that are actually the ones in the on the ground level to get their say connecting to what the mayor or the city council That's the disconnect people think these unions reflect with the leadership. I'm talking to the members They're all voting for me. They don't agree with the the little backroom dealing the little they want the same things as the rest of Los Angeles the Angelino's one even though it's that small percentage They're still moms husbands hardworking people paying their taxes having to go to these same parks go to the street So as mayor I'm not anti-union, but I'm gonna make sure the union leadership Actually connects to the people that are in the unions not this You know, we're just being scanned. Yeah, we're being scanned across the board You had me at hello I'm saying on this I mean on so many of these things and you just have the exact right. I didn't know until I talked to you Honestly today, but you have the exact exact right impatience with this shit. It's very authentic. We're impatience with it. And you know, you're just, it's good. Just keep doing what you're doing. We'll see with the chips fall. I know you got to run to another meeting. Your schedule must be crazy these days. - It is a blessing. - But you must like love it, right? - I got in this, I'm a personal level. Now, where are you going? It's like, ooh, we love you because it's a run. - There's a lot of middle fingers. There's crazy people. - Oh, there's. - But why are you, where are you going now? You're going to somewhere? - Let me just, every now and then, like I was in Korea town. Even though she wasn't Korean, she was Filipino. She flicked me off with the N95 and the Koreans were all like, she's not with the, but my point is. - I saw the video of your David Foster is playing the piano. It's a fun ranger for you. Catherine McFee is wife, is singing. What is, what's the song? You're the best, you're the top or something. I mean, this has got to all feel very good. - It does, but you gotta realize, I haven't seen my kids now in months. My kids cry on FaceTime, where's our dad? My wife. - Okay, don't say this. - No, I'm just, this is real, right? - No, no, no, no. - So, I gotta realize, I think what you mean. - No, no, no, no, I'm saying what you mean, is family comes first. - That's my, I mean, obviously, I drive all the way to go see them, but it's not this, I'm not Tom Cruise getting to promote Top Gun 3. - Tom Cruise doesn't see his kid at all because she's a impressive person. - I'm just saying, this idea that this is like, they try to say, ooh, Spencer loves this, he's getting all this clout. - I put something in his drip. - It's just what I do here. - I just say, I think these people is less fun than you would think. - I love it, that you're more politically incorrect than me. - It's not as like, oh yay, you know, and I was, I was, I was actually, I had two hours. - I love it, yeah, Trump proved it. - You don't, you don't have to, like, play the political game. You can just talk exactly like you talk, and people love it. They had enough of, you know, these politicians, never do, never do this one. Like, we can do better if we just, you know, and it's like, oh, - No, I will say, this is the funniest part about this journey when the last thing is, I didn't know what a stump speech was. So when I started going into these events, they could be prepared, I'm just like, what are you talking about? Like, you speak exactly like, I can't remember a speech.
