Club Random with Bill Maher - Spencer Pratt | Club Random with Bill Maher

Episode Date: June 1, 2026

Spencer Pratt joins Bill Maher on Club Random for a conversation that’s equal parts mayoral campaign launch, Los Angeles postmortem, and classic Spencer Pratt reinvention tour. Spencer explains why losing his home in the Palisades fire pushed him to consider a run for mayor, lays out his ideas for homelessness, public safety, and city government, and makes the case that he might be exactly the unconventional leader Los Angeles needs—or at least the one willing to talk about it the most. Along the way, Spencer reflects on life after The Hills, receiving death threats, protecting his family, losing a thriving crystal business during the pandemic, and finding a new sense of purpose while somehow turning nearly every conversation into a campaign stop.

While you were remodeling your backyard to make it more, you know, zen-e, we were remodeling our merch store to make it more random. We've slapped our new logo on T-shirts, tie-dies, 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 club random.com. All the ones I spent millions of dollars for years. Oh, Christ, can't let go with us fire.

You know, we've all had a... I'm saying that protection energy I thought. Club random. I don't have to think about that one, no. No. I do not want you sending naked pictures. I can't even... Hey.

I don't know if I'm... How are you? How are you? I said sit in my seat. Where in the campaign merch, huh? Well, you know, save your... Please, me from having to style my hair or anything. Please, you don't have to sell...

Put some pomade in. 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 the hat. Oh. So you donated to your own campaign?

That's how you got that. This one was 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 not going to, 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, Spencer Pratt, when you can have Spencer, what do you think of Spencer Pratt?

I mean, you are on people's minds out here. Nobody can take that away from you. That is just a fact. I am telling you, it's anecdotal, but I'm a good sounding board because people want you on my shows. They want to, and so, I mean, if nothing else happens, you did that. I don't think we saw that coming a year ago. I mean, again, I never planned to be the mayor of L.A. I only ran to have a bigger platform to expose all the negligence is the reason why I even ran, because this person in charge burned my house town, 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 here 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 her. I once interviewed her for an event, you know, it was a private thing. I like her, and, 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, agree. But let me, one person who's in charge of all the things that got fucked up that burned my house down. So you have to hold somebody responsible who's in charge. So 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 the lady would cross through my house burned alive. the lady with the parents, you know, so it is personal. Well, don't drag the parrots into it. I mean, she was trying to save the parents.

I'm an animal lover. I can bring the hummingbirds on. This is just not fair. Why don't you start with the fucking parrot? It's personal to me, too. I live here, too. I remember, I was doing the podcast here on January 7, 2025, and the guest was Matt Gates.

And, I mean, I got to say, you know, we don't see odd 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 are taping this do this,

and said, you've 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. Didn't this house already burned down once, I thought I was told? Yes, but that was more of a kitchen fire. Okay. So it's not a lucky spot. L.A. 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 actually, 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 uh and those winds were catastrophically high but they also fucked up so much and it didn't have to go down that way i mean the the the oh the fire hydrants the water didn't come out you know we're looking into well you know or the power lines oh it'll cost a lot of 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 vetch thing? You remember that thing? Oh, I remember. So the milk vetch, which I didn't know what it was until I lost everything. It sounds Yiddish. It sounds like the ugliest plant you've ever seen. It's not even a plant we should be trying to protect. It doesn't, it's not. It's not. beautiful. It's literally an ugly bush. But, Spencer, we don't just protect the beautiful. This plant, it doesn't even have a flower coming out of it. Okay, again, not a good reason. It looks like a weed. Okay, well, should we... Did we pull weed? Should we kill all the blob fish? They're really fucking... The milk vets should not be more protected than human beings.

That's true. That 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 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, we built in a dumb place to build, but we also let 60 years of dead brush surround it.

And if you saw last week in Semmelty, they had a firebreak, and that's why all those houses didn't just burn down instantly. And again, rewind the wind and the palace. This is a big thing that we got to stop saying. The wind in the palaces, because I was there till my house burned down at the top of the hill. It never was above 40 miles per hour. Planes were flying, helicopters went.

Altadena had the catastrophic hurricane winds. A whole two hours away from the palaces. We didn't have a wind problem. We had a no water problem. Two empty reservoirs. No, no, I'm just saying. The wind thing is the conspiracy. The whole, everything that went wrong,

and I mentioned all of the, And I mentioned all these things I remember going through them, you know, like really vetting it because I wanted to get it right. But it is true that the milk vetch, again, it sounds so Yiddish. It just by whatever its contribution to the fire was not worth it because the fire for a city that thinks it's so environmentally this and that, the fire is the worst thing for the environment. It's set our, we made 20 years of progress with what we did with cars and undid it all in one fire.

And I still see I have this little thing on my desk. I've made fun of it before 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 when things are good, the little face of the man is green and smiling. And then many days he's like, yellow does not look happy. And then sometimes, well, when I smoke pot in the room, he's orange.

He's very angry at the pot. He's like, but no, I mean, why so many days? And I think this is it. It's, you know, the smoke is worse than it would have been better to kill the milk fetch, I think, is what we're saying. That should be your campaign slogan, by the way. Just use that as, like, you're selling yourself as the common sense guy. Right. Pratt hates milk veg.

That's the message you want to get out, you know. Kamala had, we're going to give prisoners tits. This is your thing, okay? You got to have something people can hook onto, bro. The problem is there's only certain communities that care about that. There's people that do not care that the palisades burn down because they don't get the Hollywood Hills can burn down. Tunga, Sunland. You know, Bel-Air, these people don't care about these places burning down.

And that's where all this milk vetch and deadbrush, people in South Central and Eagle, these people don't care about the milk vetch. So I need to have, I'm stopping naked drug addicts in front of your kids. That's my get behind thing. That's my winning. 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 we're united against the milk vetch. I'm telling you. No, no, I'm anti-milkvetch. I'm as mayor. You think you are. Trust me. I'm much more of a hawk on the milk vets than you are. Extremism in the defense of killing the milk vetch is no vice.

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.

All my hummingbirds died, too. I mean, like a thousand. Okay, let's not, come on, it's a happy campaign. Oh, I didn't know. I thought you were trying to win this fucking thing. You know, you gotta be like Reagan, Sunny. People are done with Sunny. But you were always a Republican, right?

This isn't a conversion. So, no, this is a great story. Oh, great. Let's hear it. So I was a very hated personality. I'm still hated by a 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. Just help me... I'm going to give you this. I know, but I got to set it because, like, I have to admit to you,

I'm 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, some reality show. couldn't have named it with a gun to my head, but I know now, because I read about you in the paper, it was the O.C. No, no, the Hills. Yes. Was that a spin-up of the O-C? Kind of. The O-C. was a scripted show. Anyway, some douchebag white kids, like in those kind of,

you know, places in Southern California, that's what I knew. And you were like the king douchebag. This is, I'm just saying what I knew. By the way, I've been called a douchebag, too. I'm fine with this title. I know. The lady on CBS says that was actually a douche-can. What's that? I had never heard it until a 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 is in 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, 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 Osbournes 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? He went too fast. David... David Foster, the music producer. I know him. So he... Who's the kid? Brody Jenner.

Caitlin Jenner's son. Caitlin Jenner's son. So. When Caitlin was Bruce married to Chris. Correct. I'm glad everything always comes back to the Kardashian. Yes. It wouldn't be American if it didn't.

So they, it happened. So I sold this to Fox at 20 years old. And then that show got as the executive producer creator. Oh, wow. And then Foster advised me to be like Simon Cowell, which I didn't understand. It was like the villain. So I leaned into that, but Simon Cowell got to be the villain

because he was telling people how not to sing. And 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 leading in because I was chasing ratings bonuses and I was all in on my character. But people took it very serious back then.

This pre-instagrant. X hadn't even dropped as Twitter. This was, you're watching the box. Five million people think that. That's real. So I was getting all these debt threats. So obviously my security is like, you need to get a gun. So I get a gun.

And then as I am a gun owner with my wife in Los Angeles, to have a gun, you need a CCW. So that's a concealed carry weapons for very hard to get. And the only people that supported a CCW was the Republican Party. All I cared about politically was to protect my wife and then my kids. That's my only political thing I'm connected to. So you're that voter. who they always interview, what are the issues important to you?

Because the rest of the world can go, fuck it so. What are the issues are important to me, my... Okay, so that was the issue important to you. It could have been abortion, could have been something else, but to you it was just a gun. To keep my wife safe and then kids. Then, people don't realize I'm also, again, from L.A. I don't know a single Republican.

I went to crossroads. I grew up here from the policies. every single of my friends is a Democrat. 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 politics, from my perspective, respectfully to people who talk about politics, they're trying to be famous. It's a lose-lose. You're going to piss off. I was just trying to get on shows and just be casted. So I never did politics. And I only cared about anything, unfortunately. But now do you care about all the issues or?

No, no, no, I don't. Wait, meant to cut. That's wrong answer. Okay, we got to, we got to, now the candidate, the candidate was a rough night. I care about safety for safety, the lights being on, potholes, what a mayor should care about. If it's legal, you know, I'm going to be enforcing.

I mean, I mean, I can't be smoking. I don't want you smoking for on kids at the park. Oh. You know, I'll be enforcing. If you're smoking out in front of a kid of the swing, I'll be getting you as mayor. No more drugs around kids at parks and schools in front of daycares, even if it's illegal pot. We need to have a society of consequences again. I never thought growing up I could smoke a blunt in front of a kid at the park.

Now that happens. Moms do not want their kids that are like five years old. Start your Alienware Journey with the streamlined Alienware 15.

It's interesting to talk to somebody who didn't take an interest in politics until recently. And I've encountered this phenomenon before. You know where? Strip clubs. You ever talk to a strep about politics? It's awesome. Because they don't know what the right answer is supposed to be. And they, and you know what, they come out very often, more conservative. They're like, you know, why should I give my, I work hard for my money.

Why should that be going? You know, it's like, and I'm like, you know, that's what conservative said, oh, no, I'm a liberal. You think you're a liberal, but you just don't know about anything. You don't know the issues. You don't know stuff like that. And you're just, this is just your reaction to stuff. Taxes, no taxes on tips, I'll vote for Trump tomorrow, because that's the issue that's important to them. You can't blame people for that. People, 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's asked me about you. People are having the same feeling. You know, you're not a guy who overthinks 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 whole bits about how I took me three years to get the solar turned on. Solar is something they want you to have. But now they're taxing you, I think, for having it. They are? I think so. What do you mean you think so?

You have to know. I need to know about solar, you know. I need to focus out making sure the moms are safe and the animals are not being abused. That's my party. I know. But if you're the mayor... The solar panels, that's going to be somebody I'm hiring. That's my deputy mayor is going to worry about the solar panel.

No, Spencer, I got bad news. If you're the mayor, you're going to have to learn some of these issues more... Forward 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. We can't walk and chew gum at the same time. With the state of L.A. right now, the solar panels, you can 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've got to investigate. the LADWP, why you even need a solar panel. You pay so much money for regular electricity that we got to check why our rates are going up 10% plus every month that we're not getting better electricity. Alkaline water is not coming out of our tap. So I'll get back to you on the solar panels, but my total poll is make sure people don't have home invasions

every single night. Make sure you're not losing your pole suspension because we haven't fixed a road. I'm basic. That's why I'm resonating. Common set, basics. sick stuff. People that are struggling to live in LA right now because it's so expensive and they're stepping in human poop, they don't care about your problem with the solar panel right now,

but they may, once I get rid of the poop and I may get more affordable to live, then they may want solar panels. But like my schedule, I'm going to do this for eight years. So we've got a lot of time to learn about your issues. Eight years? I'm going to be mayor for eight years. Oh, I see. We're looking ahead. Once 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. You're a guy who knows his priorities. You know, in a general sense, I don't think you're wrong. And again, lots of people agree.

I mean, anytime any polity is ruled by one party, it's not good. 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 then just go way toward one, the ship just tilts toward one, two, one side too many. And that's what has happened with the state of California. I mean, it's funny because this state, you know, look, I've lived here since 1983.

I fucking loved it. I've said it many times. This city sucked my dick on the first date. It just did. I just fell in love with it right away. I grew up on the East Coast, but, you know, and I get very chauvinistic 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. Eat your popcorn. You know, we're also an industry, by the way, that never is asking for any help from the government. You know, we make our own money.

You know, we're not like corned. 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 asked 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 saying, hey, no, we need these tax credits here.

We need the support of the government. We bring the cool to L.A. We make people. Tourism comes to L.A. 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 show. shoot L.A. anywhere but L.A. You have to find a city that can double as L.A. Because with the taxes and the regulations and the unions and, you know, extras have to be, you know, 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 now. I didn't call a totem pole. But the reason why everyone's leaving. I'm not sure you're supposed to say totem pole. Anything with the Indians is always very touchy.

Native Americans. Even when it's a compliment, you know, the Braves. How dare you? Pyramid, oh, I can't do Pyramid, maybe. Yeah, that's the Egyptian. Jesus Christ, don't you have a- On my chart. So when you start with safety, you make things safe again.

Right now all, because now, you know, everyone's coming to meet with me, because there's a lot of people believe I'm winning. Like who? People that are, don't want to me telling you who they are. Really? 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 on camp. And I'm fine. I have no judgment and 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 milk fetch.

That is what I always said. And there you go. There it is. There it is. There it is. And it's the bureaucracy of this city that does not want to put, let these people put their money in here, and they don't want to invest in LA

because we allow the naked drug addicts in front of the hotels. Wait, you keep saying that. You gotta realize, I get one. Are they really naked? But naked. If you give me your phone number, I will send you a thousand naked drug addict videos a week.

I don't have to think about that one, no. No. I do not want you sending the naked pictures. 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.

At least until the campaign is over. Then send all the naked pictures you watch. Eric's Walwell came to me once. No, I'm kidding. Okay. So. So if you make the streets safe and clean again and you welcome investment.

So these, let's say this group of very successful people that want to invest in downtown LA, they offer to buy up 40 blocks, put a affordable house, I was in mid-level housing, nice, and they come to Mayor Bass with this deck that now I've been presented. Mayor Bass says, oh, well, you can put all the homeless people

in these buildings. No, we want to put the working people in the city of 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, any, 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 supermet. 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, 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 said this before, and I feel like the conventional wisdom answer to it that I get is that it's for this reason, unfeasible, for this reason, unfeasible, blah, blah, blah. Tell me why, someone who's running and is going to inherit this problem for

eight years, tell me why it's not feasible to, this is, 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 a alternative lifestyle, home. Okay, which is how the woke have 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 their natural habitat. It's fucking ridiculous.

Okay, so that's, A, you can't stay on the street. B, why can't there be barracks, for lack of a better word? But yes, barracks. And they say, well, it's unsafe in there. 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 who'll 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 specialist, 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, 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 RAND Corporation will say it's 30% out. Let's say it's 70,000 people. Right now it's cheaper to literally build an entire facility. They'll go. It's a concentration. No.

They have insane, cheaper, prefabricated homes. 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 riding around in golf carts. They can be eating air wand there. We have enough money to have combo plates for home, no, that's how much we spend. Don't, no, I'm just saying. Air one.

But my point is, just really, my point is there's that. So far. My point is we spend that much money to have them live in their own feces and die. Well, 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, they're going to do fire breaks with the fire department. We're going to teach them how to help come clean the trash. We 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 ready? No, they're not from California.

They've been brought here by NGOs that profit off of this homeless industrial complex, Medicaid. Wait, wait, 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 attic, you can come to L.A. and get these rehabs and use your Medicaid, you have a social schedule. 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%. I think that's part of the attraction. I don't know if this is a big plot. You think this is a big?

There's a big part where this is, like I talk to these people who are now sober, off fentanyl, off meth, and they say they got literally brought here through rehab, trying to get out drugs. The money runs out, boom, left on the street. This is multiple stories of this. Boy, that's... Tim Walts. He never stops being able to be a fucker. Sending the fucking people.

I don't know what state they're from exactly, but they're not from L.A. So, again, whether they go to this amazing facility that we have, that house all these resources for treatment, not let you die in your feces on fentanyl, but you may want to go back to Oklahoma, and we help a facility. getting you now that you're sober, you probably have a mom.

You probably have a because if you don't, I was in South Central the other day, this mom came up to me crying. She goes, my daughter is not homeless. I hate when people say that. She has a home. Our 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.

And they would go back to Oklahoma. Maybe it's not Oklahoma. Georgia. Hers was South Central. You know what? Remember this song? Midnight train to Georgia. He's leaving.

They're just not. On that midnight train to Georgia. You know why he came out here to be a big star? Didn't work out. But Gladys Knight is sticking by him. But he's leaving on that midnight train to Georgia. I don't know about that train. You'd rather be with him than to live here in L.A., she says.

L.A. is amazing if you are. It is amazing. It is. And that's, I'm fighting because I love this place so much. Me too. I only wanted to be famous. Again, let's rewind. because when I grew up, being famous in L.A.

was the greatest thing you could do in the world. The restaurants, the red carpets, the club. All 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 20 years old. He's been in the game. I know the club game is my douchebag expertise. nightlife. Let me tell you. It's struggling. Let me tell you something, pal. When I was in the club, and I mean de club,

I would say those were my douchebag years. Because if you're in de club, you are probably engaging in douchey behavior. It's just a douchy place. I love you. I'll never hate on the club. I met my wife in the club. So you can have love. Oh, I met on the dance floor in the club.

I met a lot of good times in the club. I'm not saying you shouldn't be in the club. You can find your wife in the club. You found your wealth in the club privilege on the dance floor. Club privilege. Where was that? On sunset. What year is this?

2007, 2006. Okay, I was probably out of the clubs by night. Not by a... This is my lunch and dinner. Right. Thank you very much. Oh, good. Well, I'm having a good time.

I hope you are, too. 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? You're a club random, bro. It's the best podcast 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 tits. Either she got. She's had three, they are now regular size. What is the state of the tips? They're not what you'd call huge. But they were at one point.

At one time, they were. Okay. So what happened? in there? I think when you go, when you, I've witnessed it as firsthand, when you're talking to a plastic surgeon, their version of minor, like, oh, this is a, 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? Don't we use words like centimeter.

What I've learned from witnessing being around plastic surgery is there's no such thing as a minor surgery. And that's the life lesson I can pass on. If you're going to a plastic surgeon who's using vague flowery words like that, this is a quack.

I mean, even bras have sizes. A cup, B cup, C cup, D cup, right? I mean, if they can do it with bras, this guy is more vague than a bra. RIP, 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. It reminds me, I have an appointment.

Yeah, I was going to say, I am sure we can get you a good deal. Okay, but then she had breast reduction? Yes, she did. Oh. Yeah, so I don't think you respectfully would notice anything. I respectfully wouldn't comment or believe me. Well, you brought it up. Well, I just because I just because I just.

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. Nothing about his teenage years. I think he was a very awkward teenager, bad skin, that jufro he had. Who, Jesus would be?

I was 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 mayor all rung? 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. And then the pandemic hit, and I was no longer an essential business.

and had to close up my 18 employee, you know, it was a life-changing thing because this was it for my family. So that... Pandemics are so rough on crystals. You know what I mean? It's just like it's the first thing to go. You know, and isn't it a health thing? I had to, I tried to fight it, say,

this is a medicinal for some people. But aren't they? Don't people... There's people to definitely believe that. But you don't? You were just selling it for instance. 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. Oh, Christ. Can't let go with 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 turmeline by the front door. I had the tiger's eye. So the fact they all went up, I said, he didn't protect anything. It's asking a lot of a crystal to protect from a fire of that. I'm just saying that you're asking... There had a lot of them.

Did you say thousands? Tigers eyes of protection. That's one of them? It's definitely, yeah. What is Tiger's eye? Is there a specific thing that it does? Protection energy. But just protection.

But others do other things? Of course. Like Kunzai, which is one of my favorite crystals. Kunzite? I'm not saying it. Okay. K-U-N-Z-I-T-E. You can spell it any way you want.

I am not spending any political capital on that. It's for your heart chakra. Oh, I'm sure it is. So it opens up your heart. Oh, I'm sure it is. It'll open up Twitter is what it'll open up. Well, that's my favorite. So what is this, what does it do for you?

It opens your heart chakra. Again, this is what they say. Okay, but you're selling them, you don't understand. No, I don't sell them with the, I let you. Oh, I see. There's also people that love them because they're rare earth minerals. So the same person that loves a fossil, loves stones, because, like, my collection would have been in a museum when I died, it would have said the Pratt family at the Natural History Museum.

That's the type of collection I had. you just keep them near you or do you put them up your ass? There's definitely people that put them up there 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 don't know, not countenance this sort of depravity.

I just, you know, I don't buy algorithm. And if I say that, we won't, we'll get, you know, they won't hit the feed. That's the smartest thing you've said. Well, I just, no, that you're so right. It's true. Always look ahead. to what those assholes in the media will cover

because they never cover the right things. They are just so craven. And what's worse is they know better. They very often know what's important, and sometimes they don't because they're also stupid. So they're going to cover the stupidest, lowest fucking thing to get the most amount of clicks. So you're very wise to do that, to go,

no, I'm not going to give you that. I give them enough. You give them enough. Right. But I also, I'm not going to give them. But boy, am I in trouble tonight? But I'm in trouble every night. I don't care.

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? Yeah, it's 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.

It's done. Cheers. 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. You know, the Christmas Eve, they're out in the store at the last minute shit. And he just

dropped that hour special. It was like an hour-long ad. And it was all about how, you know, it was his spiel. It was his original spiel. And it fucking worked, especially in places where people were feeling, you know, the economy was not working for them. And, you know, it was all the, it's so ironic now since it was led the biggest grifter kind of administration ever. But, you know, it was all about how the Wall Street types and who, and they are backers of Hillary and the Democrats, you know, how they've taken advantage. And they have, but, you know, that's also capitalism.

I mean, we don't want to go to, you know, I mean, socialism, too. 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. Yes. 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. And two, that, that If you are for like seizing personal property and certain other things that Mandami or his very close lieutenants have said outright, you know, homeownership 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 to the communist socialist, she went from six. Councilman Rahman. She went from 64% on Kalshi to 8%. So she got Bobby. She's done. Is that after one debate? With me, yeah. But she wasn't at 64%. She was leading. She was. She was leading Karen Bass? Yes. So that's... Really? This, you can check this. Yes. I don't remember seeing that. Yeah. Well, Cal she's, again, that's not a poll. And there's no polls. Again, let me talk about pull. for a second because I'm technically 22% in the poll they just put out and Bass is 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 Cali, I didn't even know respectfully what these betting apps were until I'm in this race. I'm like, why they was tagging me in this?

The normal, excuse me, the average person doesn't have enough money to do. to be betting on every single thing you can think of. Well, I don't know about that. There's an awful lot of crazy, I mean, this country is... I didn't know about gambling. I've never gambled. Well, it's a huge issue, polymarket. Yeah, now I get it now, but my point is my voters aren't gambling

because they're trying to pay their bills. Yes, exactly. And some of them are behind in their bills precisely because they're on draft kings. You don't think that that's a thing? That is a thing. Again, I'm getting elected with moms, though. I don't think moms are on these.

Moms, no. No, it's douchebag guys. Hopefully I can appeal to me. I was going to say, well, I just found a new section of my. Your core audience. Cheers, I guess I have more voters than I realize. Your core audience. I totally forgot about them.

Well, I mean, you must own the bros. First of all, the bros are Republican. Well, here's what's happened. Socialism has captivated people because everyone has, 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 L.A. in California, I can't even comprehend tax you more. What's happening is we tax these people and then other rich people, the champagne socialist scammers steal that money because they're all connected to the people taxing it and then the people that should see the money, the communities, 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. So I actually feel like Robinhood, 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 to 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 you know, look, I mean, you're not the first guy to say these kind of things. It's all who can actually do it. Who can stand up to what is going to come up against you when you actually try to

implement? But really, I mean, this state, I'm the one. Okay, and I hope you are. I'm the one. I hate these people so much. I know. When you said don't be so personal, it's personal for me. And look, it's kind of good in a way that you are the douchebag

because 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? Wanted to big themselves up and tell some chick, I got a three. You don't. You have a two-car garage, and that's fine. I have one car.

I'm a simple man. One car, one house, one plane. Simple person. No. So just to get my garage door changed, took three inspections. First of all, why are you inspecting 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 my favorite thing. No watch, watch. I'm going to fucking burn down to the next one. If you don't shut up about the fucking house. Watch, watch this, ready? Oh, boo, your house burned down. Look at this.

You know, but your campaign is fire. Let me. Good night, everybody. So, look at this. They are in court telling me they had no legal responsibility to make sure my house doesn't burn down. Who said? Who said? The city.

The city. So, but yet the city, if I want to rebuild right now with my California affair plan, one million dollars I got, they want to put a million two into casons into the dirt. because now to be up to the zone for the hill I live in, these caissons weren't there. What are caissons? To go into the bedrock. This house was 60 years old.

I didn't have these. What's a caisson? They're like circular things that go into the ground deep down to hold the house together because now they care. Well, they sound important. They sound, they didn't care that my house burned down and they don't. And they say, so now they've changed the zoning that I need a million to and things 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 L.A. are in places that are precarious because, I mean, that's probably why the Kason is down there. They weren't there. I know, but like... Now they want them? No, but because they've... Oh, the Kaysons... They were never there.

For 60 years, this house was there. And they were supposed to be? No, this is the new thing. So like you're saying with your three people coming in showing up, it's just more money, more money. How could we tag? How can we billy more? How can we have more red tape? How can we stop building?

That's why 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 nimbie. 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 yimby people from putting. You're not anti them. You're pro them. I want building. There's a confusion. I want to build all across L.A. in all the space we have.

I don't want it to be in a street where you can't put a seven-story building because if everyone needs to evacuate, there's no parking. They think everyone rides bikes. People don't, not everybody rides bikes. I wish this sounds like a, whey, Wizard of Oz, we all ride bikes.

No, we don't. People have cars. And there's no parking now. So we need to find where you can put these beautiful buildings, art deco buildings. I'm 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 the bureaucracy, but they think because I didn't want a seven-story cement building on a street that you can't even park on in a high fire severity zone. And I was like, no, we can't do that.

You're like, oh, he's a NIMBY. I'm like, no, let's build. We need things to be more affordable. We need more housing. But it needs to be where all the naked drug addicts are that we're going to move and put to beautiful nature with the Air One combo plates.

Stop talking about the naked drug addicts, naked pictures, naked drug addicts. They are all naked. I have to tell the truth. Really? They are all naked. How do you know this? I'm gonna say, you said you don't want the video.

They're coming your way. I'm asking. They're coming your way. Tell me verbally. Verbly, for some reason, why? When you're on super meth and fent, and fent, you end up naked. Oh.

And these people are on that and they are butt naked in the middle of the street, in front of schools, and front of parts. This is not made up. No, no, no, I agree. It's going to give me elected because I'm saying the truth. Right. And you absolutely do not sound like someone who has been massaged in the least by consultants, campaign managers.

I don't have one consultant or a campaign manager. And keep it that way. 100%. I'm telling you, 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.

They're going to have bike. I say we're going to build bike lanes in the sky. Like Dubai, they're going to go through tubes. It's just a great metaphor for one of the liberals' bad qualities, which is like they imagine what the world should be and then just pronounce that it is. Like, no, we're not there. And you just

can't, you just can't decree. My favorite other thing that the people love to attack me, like, he's never been on a metro or the train. Everybody that sends me videos of the drug addicts in the fentanyl pooping on the on the metro i'm going to make people actually want to use public transportation because i'm going to make it safe and i'm going to take the human poop off of it so they're going to love me these people that think that they don't

love me give me a couple years you're going to be wearing shirts with my face on it like y mb a spencer he he loves transportation nobody's going to go on the transportation if you have drug addicts that are doing drugs, pooping on the seats, attacking the nice old ladies, we need to make it safe and clean. This is a society. This is not breaking news.

You have to have a safe, clean society to have functioning, transportation, to build, to put money. We have lost the plot so crazy. And again, let's rewind. The only reason I'm even in this running is because these people failed me. If they had been Republicans,

if Newsom was Republican, I would have gone against Newsom. If Mayor Bass was a Republican, I didn't say, oh, I'm going after them because they are part of the Democratic Party. No, they failed me as a taxpaying citizen. You're right. That's it. I don't go.

I will smoke you if you're a Republican and you burn my mom's house down. Right. Again with the house burning. This is, okay. It's the real, you know, telling me, it's very real for these old ladies that cry in my arms. No, I remember a friend of mine's house burned down in one of our other many, fires and I'd never talk 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 your you never think 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 imagine so when I first started running for mayor, I would go to meetings and I'm wearing my wife's merch as a shirt and people would say, wife, big tits or smaller tits? They're lovely. They're lovely. They're a beautiful size. I'm very blessed. I'm being married. So I'm wearing her shirt and I'm in, all I have is these shirts. That's all

I had. And people go, you got to dress in suits. I said, I had suits. They all burned down. People can't come in. I don't have a photo of my entire life before an iPhone, maybe five when I, iPhone six, because my parents' house also burned down. There's not a single thing for my life, period. So that's 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 7

has nothing to do with the guy trying to be famous, being the famous douchebag to get checks, to get clickbait. That's a different human being. They don't connect. By the way, the reality, show guy thing, that is a complete non-issue. We are so far past that. Trump is twice elected president.

He was a game show host and a businessman, and Reagan was a bad actor. 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. My opponent went to Harvard, and she came to talk in a debate.

Harvard and MIT. She can't hold the microphone like this. It's, look, some great people, I mean, I'm not shading the universities. I'm just saying it doesn't mean you can run anything, though. I'd be happy to shade it. Like you could read a book. No, some great people have come out of Harvard,

but is also an asshole factory. The kids are chanting for Hamas. We don't have to get into that issue, but like, please. 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 bat mitzvahs than I had been to church until I was maybe still tied

to the point where, of course, when I'm running for mayor, I'm going to temples, I'm supporting my Jewish friends, the level of psycho-Nazi lunacy that came at me to just say that I want my friends and family to feel safe in 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 God forbid, or God's plan, I don't win, to see what people experience right now just because of their religion 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, you should feel safe and not feel in danger. And that's back to my common sense.

Right. And again, this is a calendar. California conservative. You're not some fire breather from the church of blah, blah in Kansas who's saying, like, trans is not in the Bible. We're Californians. Even when we're 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 to 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, in Massachusetts abroad, like you elect a Republican governor. They can't be like fire-breathing conservatives, but they have to be practical and smart and be cool again with trans and gay and all these social issues that most of America is over now. most of America isn't racist, there's polling on this, they're cool with interracial marriage,

they want to live in mixed neighborhoods. Of course, there's assholes out there still, and there will be forever. But, you know, just I always say, let's live in the year we're living in. And in that year, like, the old way here is not working. You know, look at our numbers. This 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 state and do worse than places that spend way less. And part of that is because the teacher's union is so strong.

There's a great question for you, Mr. Candid. Are you strong enough to buck the unions? So thankfully, this is the biggest thing that I go against because, you know, my opponent, Mayor Bass says, every single union endorses there. And they go, how are you going to win with the unions? Every person that comes in them up to me in the streets, they're connected to some union and they say, we all love you. But it's the leadership, political powers, whether it's the police department, the fire department, any union, the Longshoremen, I was in San Pedro this weekend with the longshoremen.

These people all support my message. The union leadership never reflects actually what the people who have kids and the community. They don't connect. That's the backroom dealing that as mayor, I will do whatever I can to make sure the membership because with the disconnect from the membership to then the politicians, because even the people in the unions, they're politicians.

Even the police department that's at the higher politician. The chief of the fire department, politician. The people below him, politicians. We need the people that are actually the ones on the ground level to get their say connecting to what the mayor, or the city counseling. 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 little backroom dealing. 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 going to make sure the union leadership actually connects to the people that are in the unions, not this, you know, we're just being scammed. We're being scammed across the board. You had me at hello.

Okay, I'm just 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 right impatience with this shit. It's very authentic. You're in patience 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 gotta run to another meeting. Your schedule must be crazy these days. It is a blessing. But you must love it, right? I got in this.

I got in this. On a personal level, everywhere you go, it's like, ooh, we love you because it's a... No, no, there's a lot of middle fingers. There's crazy people. There is? Oh, there's... But where are you going now?

Where are you going to some... 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 us. But my point is... I saw the video of, David Foster is playing the piano.

It's a fundraiser for you. Catherine McPhee, his wife, is singing. 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've got to 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, this is real. No, no, no, no. So this is, you got to realize. I think what you mean, Spencer, no, I'm saying,

what you mean is family comes first. That's my point. 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 skin at all because she's a suppressive person.

I'm just saying this idea that this is like, because they try to say, oh, Spencer loves this. He's getting all this clout. I put something in his drink. It's just what I do. I have to say, fighting 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. I'm fine. I don't know who's dressing me. I love it. Trump proved it. You don't have to play the political game. You can just talk exactly like you talk,

and people love it. They had enough of, you know, these politicians. I do the devil does. Yeah, but never do this one. Like, we can do better if we just, you know. And it's like, oh, fuck. No, I will say, this is the funniest part about this journey. But the last thing is I didn't know what a stump speech was.

So when I started going to these events, they go, did you prepare your stumps? I go, what are you talking about? Exactly. I can't remember a speech. Right. So every one of my events is just, you don't know what you're getting. Yeah, but you must say the same thing. Yeah, you can't.

No more human poop. No more naked zombie. You know, it's a very foundation. Keep the thing about the bike. We don't ride a bunch. That was breaking news. I never dropped the bike until today, so I'll bring it. Thank you.

All right. Thank you. Do I get to keep this bottle? Yes, absolutely. Yes, a club random. Can you get fucked up on their own. friend
