Spencer Pratt STUNS Bass in RECORD-BREAKING fundraising for LA mayor race

[0:00] IN JUST FIVE DAYS L.A. [0:04] VOTERS ARE PICKING THEIR NEXT [0:05] MAYOR AND SPENCER PRATT, WHO YOU [0:07] JUST HEARD TALKING TO US DURING [0:08] THE COMMERCIAL, SHAKING UP THE [0:10] HIGH-STAKES RACE, PROMISING TO [0:11] ROOT OUT CRIME, HOMELESSNESS, AND [0:13] GET THOSE BURNED HOMES, INCLUDING [0:15] HIS OWN, REBUILT. [0:33] WE CAN FIND SOME OF THESE PEOPLE [0:34] SHE'S GOING TO OFFER TREATMENT [0:35] FOR, SHE'S GOING TO GET STABBED IN [0:37] THE NECK. [0:38] DOWNTOWN IS SO UNSAFE NOW THAT THEY [0:40] HAVE TO SERVE THE FOOD, ALL THE [0:42] EMPLOYEES HAVE TO EAT INSIDE. [0:44] SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT SAFETY, SHE [0:46] DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING SHE'S [0:47] TALKING ABOUT, AT LEAST MAYOR BASS [0:49] PRETENDS TO CARE. [0:50] AND IT JUST MAY BE WORKING FOR [0:52] PRATT, HE'S SEEING A MAJOR BOOST [0:55] IN SUPPORT, OUTRAISING INCUMBENT [0:56] MAYOR KAREN BASS BY NEARLY TEN [0:58] TIMES. [0:59] ALL RIGHT, THE MAN HIMSELF, [1:00] SPENCER PRATT JOINS US NOW. [1:03] SPENCER, THANKS SO MUCH FOR [1:04] JOINING US ON THE CURVEY COUCH. [1:06] SO BLESSED TO BE HERE. [1:08] SO TELL US ABOUT THIS RISE [1:10] BECAUSE NO ONE SAW YOU COMING. [1:12] WE REALLY DIDN'T. [1:13] SO MUCH TO SPARE IN L.A. [1:15] BUT YOU FOCUS ON THE BREAD AND [1:17] BUTTER ISSUES. [1:18] YOU'RE NOT TALKING HIGH LEVEL, [1:20] JUST BRASS STACKS, CLEAN STREETS, [1:23] SAFETY, YOUR HOUSE SHOULDN'T BE [1:24] BURNED DOWN. [1:25] YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. [1:26] WHY I'M RESONATING ACROSS THE [1:28] COUNTRY OR EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE [1:30] COUNTRY IS BECAUSE ALL I FOCUS [1:31] ON IS THE TRUTH. [1:33] I'M THE LOOK AROUND CANDIDATE. [1:35] I DO BASICS. [1:36] I DON'T DO NATIONAL POLITICS. [1:37] I DON'T DO PARTIES. [1:38] I JUST SAY, LOOK, THEY'RE [1:40] STEALING ALL OF OUR TAX MONEY [1:41] TO GIVE IT TO DRUG ADDICTS TO [1:43] HAVE NEEDLES AND TOURNIKETS. [1:44] AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY EVEN SELLING [1:46] THE DRUGS TO THESE ADDICTS TO [1:48] LET THESE PEOPLE DIE ON OUR [1:49] SIDEWALKS. [1:50] I WANT TO BE THE COMPASSIONATE [1:51] ONE. [1:52] GET THESE PEOPLE MANDATORY [1:54] TREATMENT, MEDICAL TREATMENT [1:55] WITH DOCTORS TO HELP THEM GET [1:57] PEOPLE IN L.A. [2:01] AS MUCH AS EVERYBODY WANTED TO [2:03] BELIEVE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN [2:05] IN CHARGE, MY OPPONENTS, [2:06] COMBINED ARE AT ALMOST 10 YEARS [2:08] OF THEIR EXPERIENCE. [2:09] THEY ARE FAILURES. [2:10] SO PEOPLE WANT AN OUTSIDER THAT'S [2:12] NOT A POLITICIAN THAT'S JUST [2:14] SAYING THE FACTS, THE TRUTH. [2:15] THESE PEOPLE HAVE FAILED US. [2:16] THEY'VE SPENT ALL OF OUR TAX [2:18] MONEY TO INCREASE PROBLEMS. [2:19] I KEEP IT BASIC. [2:20] AGAIN, I NEVER WANTED TO BE THE [2:22] MAYOR, I JUST WANTED SOMEBODY TO [2:23] TELL THE TRUTH. [2:24] AND BY TELLING THE TRUTH, NOW [2:26] THE PEOPLE ARE BEHIND ME AND I [2:27] WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK THE TRUTH [2:29] ON BEHALF OF LOS ANGELES FOR AS [2:31] FAR AS THEY WANT TO PUSH ME. [2:32] NOW, SPENCER, YOU'VE RAISED A [2:34] LOT OF MONEY, THE MOST MONEY, [2:36] BETWEEN APRIL 19TH AND MAY 16TH [2:38] LIKE A WEEK AGO. [2:39] SO SPENCER HAS RAISED 2.72 [2:41] MILLION. [2:42] NEATHIA, WHO IS THE PROGRESSIVE, [2:44] SHE HAS RAISED 400,000 AND THEN [2:46] KAREN BASS 283,000. [2:50] A, WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THE [2:52] MONEY? [2:53] THERE ARE THREE OF YOU IN THE [2:54] RACE AND THERE COULD BE A RUNOFF. [2:56] ONE OF YOU HAS TO GET 50% AND [2:58] THE POLLS ARE NOT SHOWING THAT [2:59] ANYONE IS CLOSE TO THAT. [3:00] CORRECT. [3:02] SO FIRST OFF, THE REASON WHY ALL [3:04] THAT MONEY WAS RAISED, THAT WAS [3:05] RIGHT AFTER THE DEBATE AND THEY [3:07] SAW ME DESTROY THESE TWO [3:09] TERRIBLE POLITICIANS FOR AN HOUR [3:11] STRAIGHT AND EVERYBODY REALIZED [3:13] OH, FINALLY SOMEBODY TELLING THE [3:14] TRUTH. [3:15] SO THAT'S WHERE ALL THE MONEY CAME [3:16] FROM. [3:17] A LOT OF IT IS FROM ALL OVER THE [3:19] COUNTRY BECAUSE PEOPLE FORGET [3:21] OVER 50,000 PEOPLE A YEAR LEAVE [3:23] LOS ANGELES BECAUSE IT'S SO [3:24] TERRIBLE. [3:25] FIRST TIME EVER. [3:26] MORE PEOPLE LEAVING THAN [3:27] COMING. [3:28] SO THESE PEOPLE SEE THAT I'M [3:30] SAYING WHY THEY LEFT. [3:31] SO THEY'RE TRYING TO GET ME [3:33] ELECTED SO THEY CAN MOVE BACK. [3:34] THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE MISSING. [3:36] THESE ARE ACTUALLY FORMER [3:38] ANGELENOS THAT GOT FORCED OUT OF [3:40] THIS CITY THAT MAYOR BASS HAS [3:41] DESTROYED AND THAT'S WHY THEY [3:42] ARE DONATING BECAUSE THEY WANT ME [3:44] TO GET THEIR FRIENDS. [3:46] THAT'S WHY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO [3:47] BE THERE. [3:48] THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE THERE [3:50] SO THEY CAN MOVE BACK. [3:51] L.A. IS INCREDIBLE WHEN YOU [3:53] DON'T LET DRUG ADDICTS TAKE [3:54] OVER THE STREET AND MAKE MOMS [3:55] AND KIDS SCARED TO GO TO PARKS [3:57] OR THE SCHOOL. [3:58] THIS IS THE TRUTH. [3:59] THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE THERE. [4:00] THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE THERE. [4:02] THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE THERE. [4:03] THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE THERE. [4:04] THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE THERE. [4:05] I HAVE A FEELING GOD WANTS ME [4:07] JUST TO WIN WITH 51% ON JUNE [4:09] 2ND AND IT'S OVER. [4:10] I BELIEVE IT'S A LOW TURNOUT [4:12] ELECTION AND THAT'S WHY AGAIN [4:13] I'M ON THIS BEAUTIFUL COUCH TO [4:15] REMIND EVERYBODY TO GET YOUR [4:17] BALLOTS IN TODAY. [4:18] DON'T WAIT TILL JUNE 2ND BECAUSE [4:19] WE WILL DEFINITELY WIN IF [4:21] EVERYONE WHO IS AS ANGRY AS ME IN [4:22] LOS ANGELES JUST GOES AND VOTES. [4:23] THEY DON'T HAVE TO WAIT TILL JUNE [4:25] 2ND. [4:26] A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT [4:28] ELECTIONS AND YOU HAVE TO VOTE [4:29] IN PERSON. [4:30] NO. [4:31] YOU VOTE TODAY. [4:32] YOU PUT IT IN THE MAILBOX. [4:34] YOU DROP IT IN THE BALLOT BOX. [4:36] WE WIN WITH THE MOST VOTES. [4:38] AND A LOT OF PEOPLE AGAIN IN [4:40] CALIFORNIA ARE CONCERNED ABOUT [4:42] ELECTION FRONT. [4:43] WE CAN ALWAYS OUTVOTE CHEATING. [4:45] PERIOD. [4:46] AND WE CAN DO THAT LITERALLY IN [4:48] THE NEXT FIVE DAYS WITH JUST [4:50] MOMS ALONE AND ANIMAL LOVERS [4:52] AND I'M ALSO GOING TO STOP THE [4:54] ABUSE OF THESE DOGS ON THE [4:56] STREETS AND THESE ALLEGED NO-KILL [4:58] SHELTERS THAT ARE KILLING [4:59] THOUSANDS OF DOGS. [5:00] I'M GOING TO STOP THAT AS WELL. [5:02] SO ANIMAL LOVERS AND MOMS, WE [5:04] ARE BEATING ANY CHEATING THAT [5:05] PEOPLE SAY COULD HAPPEN. [5:06] I REMEMBER HOW ANGRY YOU [5:07] WERE WHEN YOUR HOUSE BURNED [5:08] DOWN AND NOTHING WAS GETTING [5:09] DONE. [5:10] EVERYONE WAS WONDERING WHO IS [5:11] SPENCER PRATT LIKE IS THIS GUY [5:12] REALLY GOING TO RUN AND NEXT [5:13] THING YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN AND I [5:14] THOUGHT WONDER IF HE'S GOING [5:15] TO GET ANY TRACTION. [5:16] I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE A [5:18] REPUBLICAN, INDEPENDENT OR A [5:19] DEMOCRAT. [5:20] RICK CARUSO SEEMS LIKE A [5:21] REPUBLICAN BUT RAN AS A DEMOCRAT. [5:23] HOW ARE YOU RUNNING? [5:24] THANKFULLY IT'S A [5:25] NONPARTISAN RACE. [5:26] I DON'T HAVE TO BE EITHER. [5:28] I'M A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN, [5:29] BUT MY SUPPORTERS ARE ALL [5:31] DEMOCRATS BECAUSE LOS ANGELES [5:32] IS ALL DEMOCRATS. [5:33] ALL THE PEOPLE FINANCING ME ARE [5:34] DEMOCRATS. [5:35] ALL THE PEOPLE FINANCING ME ARE [5:36] DEMOCRATS. [5:37] ALL THE PEOPLE FINANCING ME ARE [5:38] DEMOCRATS. [5:39] ALL THE MEETINGS I TAKE EVERY DAY [5:41] ARE DEMOCRATS. [5:42] DEMOCRATS ARE VERY ANGRY WITH [5:44] WHAT HAPPENED TO LOS ANGELES. [5:45] THEY WERE FED A BUNCH OF LIES [5:47] BY MAYOR BASS WHO SAID SHE WAS [5:49] GOING TO LITERALLY SOLVE [5:50] HOMELESSNESS. [5:51] SHE WAS GOING TO DO ALL THESE [5:53] THINGS SHE DIDN'T DO. [5:55] ALL THE PEOPLE THAT PUT HER [5:57] ACTUALLY IN OFFICE ARE NOW [5:58] BEHIND ME. [5:59] SO IT'S A NONPARTISAN RACE. [6:01] THERE'S NO LETTER NEXT TO [6:03] EITHER OF OUR NAMES BECAUSE THE [6:05] MAYOR IS NOT SUPPOSED TO [6:08] REPRESENT A PARTY. [6:09] THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE [6:10] YOUR MOMS ARE SAFE, YOUR HOUSES [6:12] DON'T BURN DOWN, AND YOUR TAX [6:14] MONEY IS GOING TO YOUR [6:15] INFRASTRUCTURE NOT TO FUND DRUG [6:16] ADDICTS. [6:17] SO THANKFULLY I HAVE [6:19] REPUBLICANS THAT LOVE ME. [6:20] I HAVE DEMOCRATS THAT LOVE ME. [6:21] I HAVE INDEPENDENTS THAT LOVE [6:22] ME. [6:23] EVEN SOME SOCIALIST MESSAGE ME [6:25] AND THEY'RE LIKE, HEY, DON'T BE [6:27] SO MEAN TO US. [6:28] WE LIKE YOU TOO. [6:29] I'M LIKE, SORRY, I DON'T MESS [6:31] WITH SOCIALISTS. [6:32] WE GOT ONE HERE. [6:35] YOU KNOW, NO COMMENT ON THAT. [6:36] GOOD LUCK. [6:37] YOUR MOVEMENT IS PALPABLE. [6:38] AND SOMETIMES WE GET A LITTLE [6:40] JADED BECAUSE WE SEE THIS [6:42] MOVEMENT THAT'S HAPPENING ONLINE [6:44] AND WE'RE NOT THERE ON THE [6:45] GROUND IN L.A. [6:47] I GUESS THE BIG QUESTION, I SAW [6:48] THAT MOM YESTERDAY THAT TALKED [6:50] ABOUT HER DAUGHTER BEING OUT [6:51] THERE STRUG OUT ON DRUGS AND [6:52] THAT'S WHY SHE WAS GOING TO [6:53] VOTE FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE [6:54] GOING TO END THAT. [6:55] BUT HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE [6:57] SURE THAT THE ENERGY THAT WE [6:59] SEE ONLINE IS GOING TO BE THE [7:01] PEOPLE THAT GO PICK UP THAT [7:03] BALLOT? [7:04] LIKE DO YOU HAVE BUSES? [7:05] DO YOU HAVE STRATEGY? [7:06] HAVE PEOPLE OUT THERE MAKING [7:08] SURE THESE PEOPLE GET TO THE [7:09] POLLS? [7:10] YOU KNOW, I CAN ONLY DO MY PART [7:12] AND PRAY THAT EVERYBODY SHOWS [7:13] UP AND VOTES. [7:14] I OBVIOUSLY HAVE ANYTHING A [7:15] CAMPAIGN HAS, GROUND TEAMS, [7:16] DOOR KNOCKERS. [7:17] BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS [7:19] IS WHY I'M HERE, TO REMIND PEOPLE [7:22] YOU GOT TO VOTE. [7:23] YOU GOT TO DO YOUR PART. [7:24] EVERYONE NEEDS TO VOTE. [7:25] A LOT OF PEOPLE I TALKED TO, [7:26] EVEN MY CLOSE FRIENDS, THEY [7:28] LOVE ME. [7:29] I'M LIKE, DID YOU VOTE? [7:30] THEY'RE LIKE, OH, I DON'T KNOW [7:31] HOW. [7:32] SO WE JUST NEED. [7:34] YOU WOULD BE SHOCKED. [7:35] A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST HAVE GIVEN [7:37] UP BECAUSE WE'VE HAD 22 YEARS OF [7:39] FAILED POLICIES IN L.A. [7:40] THEY DON'T THINK THEY CAN BE [7:42] CHANGED. [7:43] ONE OF YOUR OPPONENTS IS [7:44] NITHIY RAMAN, CONSIDERED MORE [7:45] LEFT THAN KAREN BASS. [7:47] THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT YOU. [7:48] AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS PERSON [7:51] WHO IS THIS KIND OF REALITY TV [7:53] STAR WHO HAS THESE PRONOUNCEMENTS [7:58] THAT I WILL SOLVE IT. [7:59] WE HAVE A MOMENT WHEN THAT [8:00] MESSAGE CAN HAVE A LOT OF [8:01] PURCHASE. [8:02] AND THAT IS REALLY SCARY TO ME [8:03] BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THERE IS [8:04] AN EXPERIENCE. [8:05] THERE'S THE EXPERIENCE TO [8:06] ACTUALLY DELIVER ON RESULTS. [8:08] SO THAT WOMAN HAS HAD, I [8:10] THINK, ALMOST FIVE YEARS. [8:11] SHE'S BEEN THE CHAIR OF THE [8:13] HOMELESS HOUSING DEPARTMENT FOR [8:14] THE LAST THREE YEARS. [8:15] THE DRUG ADDICTS THAT ARE [8:17] ATTACKING MOMS THAT ARE NAKED [8:18] IN FRONT OF KIDS, THAT IS ON [8:20] HER AND MAYOR BASS. [8:21] THIS IS A WOMAN WHO FOUGHT IN [8:23] HER OWN DISTRICT FOR MOMS THAT [8:25] DIDN'T WANT DRUG ADDICTS SELLING [8:26] DRUGS, BEING NAKED IN FRONT OF [8:28] KIDS IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL. [8:29] SHE'S FIGHTING THEM ON CAMERA [8:31] SAYING THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE [8:33] BETWEEN ONE FOOT AND 500 FEET [8:35] TO HAVE NAKED DRUG ADDICT [8:37] ENCAMPMENTS IN FRONT OF KIDS. [8:38] SO WHEN THESE PEOPLE TALK, YOU [8:41] ARE LITERALLY LISTENING TO A [8:42] LUNATATE. [8:43] SHE'S DEFUND THE POLICE, TOO. [8:45] SHE'S NOT EVEN GOING TO BE A [8:48] CONVERSATION. [8:49] WE SHOULD JUST FOCUS ON BASS. [8:50] SHE, AFTER THE DEBATE, THE [8:52] BETTING APPS, SHE WENT FROM 65% [8:54] TO, I THINK SHE'S AT 5%. [8:56] SHE'S SO IRRELEVANT THAT WE [8:58] SHOULD JUST FOCUS ON BASS. [8:59] I WANT TO ASK YOU, WE SHOW [9:01] ALL THESE IMAGES OF YOU AND [9:02] HEIDI STANDING IN THE RUBBLE [9:04] THAT USED TO BE YOUR HOUSE. [9:06] I WATCHED YOU ON THE HILLS. [9:08] YEAH, THE HILLS. [9:09] AND THEN I SAW ON INSTAGRAM [9:11] AFTER THE FIRES ALL THESE [9:12] VIDEOS OF YOU. [9:13] AND THEN I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN [9:14] YOU FINALLY SAID, I'M GOING TO [9:15] RUN, I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING [9:16] ABOUT THIS. [9:17] BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T GET [9:18] PERMITS. [9:19] FIRST, I WANT YOU TO TELL US, [9:20] WHAT DID YOU GO THROUGH? [9:21] LIKE THAT, WALK US THROUGH [9:22] WHAT WE'RE SEEING. [9:23] THAT HAS TO BE DEVASTATING. [9:25] DEVASTATING. [9:26] AND YOU SAID YOU KNEW SOMEONE [9:28] THAT BURNED TO DEATH IN THEIR [9:29] HOUSE BECAUSE OF THIS. [9:30] YOUR PARENTS LOST THEIR HOUSE [9:32] AND THIS IS WHAT LED YOU TO RUN. [9:33] WHERE ARE YOU ALL ON THE [9:34] PERMIT STAGES? [9:35] WHAT WILL YOU DO IF YOU WIN TO [9:37] MAKE SURE THE PALISADES ARE [9:38] REBUILT? [9:39] THE PALISADES IS GOING TO BE A [9:42] LONG TIME. [9:43] I DON'T LIKE TO SUGAR COAT. [9:45] THIS IS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, [9:48] FOR SOME PEOPLE, IT WILL BE [9:49] NEVER. [9:50] BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE [9:51] SENIOR CITIZENS. [9:52] THEY WERE UNDERINSURED. [9:53] A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING [9:54] THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES [9:55] THAT AREN'T PAYING OUT WHAT [9:56] THEY SHOULD BE. [9:57] SO THAT'S JUST A TRAGIC FAILURE [9:59] ON MAYOR BASS AND, OF COURSE, [10:01] GAVIN NEWSOM STATE PARK. [10:02] BUT, OF COURSE, I'M GOING TO [10:04] WORK WITH THE PALISADES AND TRY [10:06] TO BUILD FASTER. [10:07] THAT IS NOT COMING BACK. [10:09] BUT LEE ZELDIN IS WORKING [10:10] FROM THE ADMINISTRATION TO HELP [10:11] OUT. [10:12] HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE WANTS, [10:15] BUT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY [10:17] ARE NOT COMING BACK BECAUSE [10:18] THAT'S 7,000 HOMES MAYOR BASS [10:19] BURNED DOWN. [10:20] RIGHT NOW. [10:21] THEY WON'T LET YOU SELL, [10:22] RIGHT? [10:23] THERE'S NOBODY, YOU COULD SELL, [10:26] BUT THERE'S 6,000 DIRT LOTS. [10:28] IT'S NOT A MARKET. [10:29] YOU'RE BUYING INTO. [10:30] SO AS MUCH AS I LOVE TO BE [10:32] POSITIVE AND I'M GOING TO DO [10:33] BEST I CAN AS A MAYOR, THE [10:35] REALITY IS A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE [10:37] ARE NOW, THEY DON'T GET TO COME [10:39] BACK BECAUSE OF MAYOR BASS. [10:40] AND THAT IS, AGAIN, PART OF MY [10:42] ANGER THAT I CHANNEL INTO THIS [10:44] AND I GOT INTO THIS RACE TO [10:46] EXPOSE THE FAILURES THAT MADE [10:47] IT SO THERE IS NO FEEL GOOD, [10:49] HAPPY ENDING WITH THIS. [10:51] IT'S A TRAGEDY THAT OUT OF 7,000 [10:54] PEOPLE MAYBE 600 HOUSES ARE IN [10:56] THE WORKS AND IN OVER 18 MONTHS [10:58] MAYBE NINE HOUSES HAVE BEEN BUILT. [11:01] SO WHEN THEY SAY THERE'S RECORD [11:03] BUILDING. [11:04] HAVE YOU BEEN BUILDING? [11:06] AND I'M GOING TO DO THAT. [11:07] WE'RE GOING TO GO. [11:08] I'M GOING TO BE MAYOR. [11:11] IN ONE WEEK YOU COULD BE MAYOR. [11:12] GOD WILLING. [11:13] ALL RIGHT. [11:14] SPENCER. [11:15] THANK YOU SO MUCH. [11:16] THANK YOU. [11:17] GOD BLESS YOU. [11:18] THANK YOU. [11:19] ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE? [11:20] I DON'T KNOW. [11:22] WE USUALLY READ YOU OUT. [11:24] OKAY. [11:25] WE DID REACH OUT TO BOTH OF [11:27] YOUR OPPONENTS AND MAYOR BASS [11:28] We have more Fox & Friends coming up.
