From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, candidate for mayor of Los Angeles, Spencer Pratt.
Plus the news with Rudy Povich. And now, Adam Corolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. No choice but get it on the mandates. You get it on. Welcome to the show. Thanks for telling a friend. Thanks for sharing the good news. Spencer Pratt in studio. I think I've been following you for a while now. And at first I was a little skeptical.
I was like, well, what's this reality star got to say about stuff? And then I kind of went, well, that does make sense. And then I was like, that does make sense. And now it's kind of coming together. And I think people are realizing you're substantial and legitimate.
Yeah, thankfully, when you run on common sense... It's pretty simple to get people excited. And at the end of the day, what everybody wants is to feel safe. They want their tax money to not be not only stolen, but then used to increase not feeling safe and to increase problems. I'm not over here trying to, I don't have this utopia, the custom idea that I'm going to sell you on.
And I just want the LA that I grew up back that we can get back. So that's resonating. And truly, I'm going to win the election just, I truly believe, off of moms. Because I get thousands of messages a day from moms that are sick of seeing drug addict zombies naked on the sidewalk, running in front of their cars when they're taking their kids to school. And they're going to show up and vote.

Chapter 2: How does Spencer Pratt plan to address the homeless crisis in Los Angeles?
shut down the business and you go in and you unplug all these NGOs, they're going to go to Seattle or they're going to go out and they're going to grab all these people. They're going to put them on buses themselves because these are their products. This is what they make the money. So yes, again, homeless has different boxes. There are sad stories. People miss a rent here and there.
You got to help these people and get them housing. We have housing for these people. People that are fentanyl addicts, they need more fentanyl. People are meth addicts. They need more meth. You could give them the Four Seasons right now, Master Suite. They don't care. They'll rather hang sideways on the sidewalk until they sober up and get new fentanyl.
So these people need mandatory medical treatment. We need to bring asylums back. We need to have places that treat people for mental health conditions, not just say, we need more affordable housing. We need more beds, right?
Well, OK, here's what they do. They give something a title. The title should be street junkies, but they call them homeless and then they call them the unhoused community. So if you're an unhoused person, then you need a house. So as I tell all these people and we'll get into it after the fires, you are unhoused.
And so were thousands of people in the Palisades and thousands of people in Malibu and in Altadena. So you and your family are technically the definition of unhoused because your house is burnt to the ground. Did you sleep on the street that night? And have you been on the street since? Or do you have a network? Did you go somewhere? I was unhoused. I went to a hotel. I gave him my credit card.
I checked in. I had friends calling me from Kimmel to Mark Garagos to Dr. Drew asking if I needed to stay with them in their guest house or in their home because I'm not a junkie. So I had a network. So it's not about the house because thousands of people were unhoused overnight after the fire. None of them, not one, slept on the street.
So is it a house problem or is it a drug and mental problem?
We can't even go farther with that. They have $750,000 beds to house the unhoused. I would have loved to just had a, give me $750,000. I'll go buy myself a new bed. You just led my house to burn down. Give me $750,000. I'll go buy. But no, I'm a taxpayer. I don't get a $750,000 bed. It's insane.
And like just Sunday, I was at a protest in San Pedro, right in the middle of this 600 yards from a preschool, across the street from all these elderly senior citizens. And they're kicking all these senior citizens out of this retirement home because it's called the scam, whatever this NGO is. They bought this building that used to house senior citizens, and they're going to put 400 approximately.

Chapter 3: What criticisms does Spencer Pratt have about current leadership in California?
They're in the street right now sharing filthy needles. I'll play the Newsome clip just because... It is clinic. I mean, Newsom's clinically insane. I think this is him. By the way, 13 years ago, we could have wrapped our minds around this and got a handle on it before the, you know, it's hard to unring the bell now because it's such a huge problem.
13 years ago, it was a problem, but not the size of the problem it is now. This is Gavin Newsom. This notion of, like, the guy's a hardworking, God-fearing family member who lost his job and now had to take to the streets is total and utter bullshit.
Yeah, but what about the picture of real homelessness, which is a poor mom with two kids with a husband who took off and left her, who's sitting there struggling on that minimum wage job, and all of a sudden now is out in the streets and sidewalks desperately trying to find some help, get her life back, can't get those kids into childcare, can't afford them. That was a tough thing.
Yeah, that's tough. And that's a picture of family homelessness in this country. No, that's a postage stamp. No, the real picture is bigger than the AIDS quilt, and those are crazy junkies. Yeah, but no. Okay, he's just arguing. He's telling me the real picture of homelessness is something that doesn't exist. He has some weird fantasy narrative in his head.
We're like, what about the hardworking mom with the two kids who got divorced and now is out on the curb? And you're literally making a comic book. This doesn't exist. This is a fantasy that you're drawing. They do the same thing with ICE. These guys barging in, kicking open doors, grabbing people, throwing them in Honduras in sweatshops.
Okay, that's great when you're talking to a child, but it doesn't exist. You guys are making stuff up. He lives in some sort of delusional sort of netherworld. He describes something that doesn't exist. I describe something that only exists. And somehow he's the guy who wants the votes.
No, he's diabolical. Oh, yes. It's scary. It's scary, yes. And again, I'm excited to be the mayor of LA because I'll have at least three years as mayor of Los Angeles to fight the chances of him being the president. Because as mayor, I will be able to really open up books and show all of his failures from Sacramento and how they've destroyed Los Angeles. Because what people don't understand is...
We don't have anybody in L.A. that fights Sacramento. And these dreams in Sacramento become nightmares of Los Angeles. They have these utopian versions of how we should live in Los Angeles, but nobody fights them in Sacramento. And again, as mayor, I want to be in their shoes. I'm going to be on their territory, let me tell you. I'm not just going to be fighting the city council.
We need to fight these, whoever's the new governor, I may have to fight that person. The lieutenant governor, I'm going to have to fight that person. I'm going to have to fight these lawmakers because all these things they're doing are destroying Los Angeles. And no one from L.A. goes to Sacramento and fights these imaginary politicians.

Chapter 4: How does Spencer Pratt view the role of law enforcement in Los Angeles?
So if Toyota started putting theirs in shark cages, then people just slide over to Honda and Ford and steal their catalytic converter. So you need every car or...
you can enforce laws and try to figure out and get to the bottom of the fact that you are running a giant, there's cartels that are running these rings where they get young guys to go out four in the morning, crawling their people's cars. This person has a scrambled brain, right?
The scarier clip from Nithya Raman is where she's arguing with the parents about the encampment by the school. The two gangs, rival gangs, are selling fentanyl through the tents. There's all this crime. And she says in this to the parents that there's no difference between one foot and 500 feet. And when all the parents boo her, she rolls her eyes and goes, whatever.
So I also was just at a community meeting, right?
Well, we can play that.
I think we have that clip. I do.
I've heard it before. I always wonder what is the end game? Do you just want nihilism? Do you want total destruction? What does she want out of this? We'll play it. Let me ask a specific question. I'm wondering
voted against it, you know? There you go. Because it doesn't work. I mean, it's like, I don't think a kid's going to be paid for it because it's going to be away from a school, you know?
Oh, God. That will kill me. Five questions.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the recent political developments in California?
She's in charge of the homeless council on the city council.
I love it. I love it when Newsom shows up and there's a train going through a pile of garbage and everyone's ripping off Amazon things. And he goes, what's going on? Who's in charge out here like that? I love when Karen Bass explains that now she has a plan and this time they're going to prioritize. Bitch, you've been in place for four years. What's going on? You all on the council.
You let it all get. Why should we believe you? And it is funny when they pretend to act normal. Like now I'm law and order and safety and kids and clean communities. I never heard any of that until you're forced to it. Here's what ends up happening. Basically, you'll see it like Tim Walls is going around now. He's completely unglued and he's nuts.
But remember, he was just gapping the plugs in his international harvester so he could go hunting. They try to pretend to be normal when they're running for office. Tim Walls was just an aw shucks guy who liked ice fishing and hunting from Minnesota, not some unhinged socialist nut job you see up on stage every other night screaming about Trump. So they pretend to be normal. Um,
OK, you have Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris wanted trans prison illegals pay for the prisoners to get their trans stuff and fracking. And then all of a sudden she's running for president. Like, oh, no, I'm not for ending fracking. No, that whole trans prison. I'm not for any of the stuff I've been talking about for 10 years. Really? Then you get voted in. Then you implement all this stuff.
Joe Biden was run on. He's a normal guy. Center, slow and steady, gets in, taken over by the radical left. Everything becomes a shit show. Borders wide open. So be wary of people pretending to be normal when they're not. And essentially what it's like is like me going, look, It is no difference. Go look, I need a babysitter. Okay. There's two guys.
One guy is a career pedophile and the other guy has never been accused of anything. So I'm going, well, I think I'll take the guy's never been accused of anything. And then the guy goes, who's the career pedophile goes, that was the old me. I was like in my fifties when I stopped that I'm 62 now. So why don't I've changed my mind on a lot of diddling. And I'm like,
How about I just go with the guy that never said he did that in the first place and never did do it? So what they're essentially saying is, yeah, I talked about all this shit, but now I'm normal. Well, I don't believe you. But why should I believe you? Why don't I just vote for a normal guy who's always been normal?
Well, the scariest thing is if I'm the normal guy, we're in big trouble to begin with. But if you think about it, this is their whole shtick because I have been working with these dog rescue people who have reached out to me and showed me what was going on months ago about the dogs that are being... tortured, set on fire, testing drugs, abused, all this. And Nithya Raman knows about it.

Chapter 6: How does Spencer Pratt differentiate between various political ideologies?
We're gonna enforce spaying and neutering so there aren't mass dog, we're not gonna let people just be breeding dogs on the sidewalk. First off, when I'm mayor, there won't be people living on the sidewalk, so they definitely won't be torturing and breeding dogs. But it's back to now they hear Spencer and all the dog people are like, oh, this guy's gonna actually help these dogs.
We gotta be dog people now too. And so we do these little fake, but again, they'll never say we're going to enforce the law because they can't. They're too deep in the, oh, we don't do that. These people have rights. That's their... They're experiencing a homelessness and they're experiencing needing that dog tortured for their health. People are psycho.
The other... I completely agree. And... I mean, A, you can look at their track record and B, you can just sort of take them at their word. Like this is what they're interested in. She's blaming Toyota because gangs are stealing catalytic converters. Her other great one was she was trying to get a U-turn sign taken down on, I think, Hyperion.
in Silver Lake, in a gay part of town, because guys used to cruise there for dudes. And the people who lived on that street didn't want guys banging in the bushes all night and picking up gay tricks in front of their house. So once again, they put a sign up that said no cruising, basically. But she decided it'd be good use of her time to go down there and remove – The sign.
And the thing that's insane is, is Los Angeles is one big sign. No right on red, no turning, you know, no U-turn, school zone, like everything. This is just a sign that said no U-turn, meaning nothing. The residents said, we're tired of gay guys cruising up and down the boulevard endlessly in front of our house to pick up dudes.
So put a sign that says, no U-turn, and they won't keep cruising in front of the house. But she went down there with her drag queen buddies and got the sign taken down, which is, by the way, I... It's a weird thing, it's like Scott Weiner in San Francisco. Gay, lesbian, drag, whatever, it's not what people are concerned about.
They're concerned about safety, cleanliness, fire prevention, school systems, parks that are usable. We're not all down with the trans community and we don't care because it doesn't affect us. What does affect us is the peeping Tom sex offender who's camped out on the sidewalk in front of my house. But I'll play the clip just so it's fun. They're so proud of themselves, by the way.
We're on Griffith Park Boulevard, right on the side of District 13. Hugo Soto's probably retarded, too. There's no U-turn signs that were connected to the no cruising signs that were used to discriminate against the LGBT community. So we removed the last remnants of that really terrible policy. She's tugging at a sign. It's a very joyful and exciting day.
They were a relic of the 90s anti-gay policies in Los Angeles. There were signs that explicitly said no cruising, which had been removed years ago. Here's the point.

Chapter 7: What specific changes does Spencer Pratt propose for improving public safety?
They're the ones trafficking the kids. They're the ones selling the drugs. They're the gangsters. But they're hiding under these protections. So if you actually ask the immigrant community, they don't want these illegal criminals. And that's who we need to focus on as a city, from the mayor, from LAPD. And the federal government getting the criminal element, this part of destroying Los Angeles.
They're the ones giving all these zombies the fentanyl. And if you don't let them get the bad guys, then the federal government ends up getting the people that nobody wants. You know, the guy...
the Joe Schmo hardworking person that, you know, yes, they're still illegal, but that's nobody's priority in the sense that why are we going after this person when we got somebody who's gang banging drug dealer, rapist murder, but we can't get to them because mayor Bass is blocking to get to them. So then you're stuck with getting the low hanging fruit.
All right. So, you know, I would say this, which is, and it's kind of interesting, like, You know, people were like, well, what about Spencer Pratt? Like, what experience does that guy have? Or what do you know about him? Or what's in his background? And I said, well, okay. I would take somebody with no experience over someone who was really bad. Like, I would say...
One guy's a horrible decorator who's going to decorate your apartment and make it look like shit. And the other guy doesn't have decorating experience, but he's a pragmatic guy. I'd go, well, I'll try that guy because I already know what the outcome of this is. So Karen Bass, I already know who she is. You should know who she is. If you live in Los Angeles, you should know who she is.
She's taken the city one direction. Nithya Raman would be Karen Bass plus. I would go worse. Think Chicago. You had Lori Lightfoot and you go, boy, this city's really going into the gutter. And then you got Brandon Johnson, who's actually worse than Lori Lightfoot. And now it's going further into the gutter versus something completely different.
And we will go, well, what experience does Spencer Pratt have running a major? It doesn't matter to me. I would take... a plastic owl that they put on the sign over the seafood place to keep the seagulls from shitting on the sign over bass or Nithya Rama, because I know who they are.
I even, and I, this sounds like a backhanded compliment, but I'm just saying like one coach is a horrible coach with a horrible game plan and is going to lose every single game. And the other guy is some guy from college who I haven't heard of. I'll take him.
Yeah, and it comes back to these people had no experience. Mayor Bass didn't have experience running the second largest city when people elected her. The most she did was get a post office made out of her office. Nithya Raman calls herself a public...

Chapter 8: What are the key arguments made regarding the future of Los Angeles?
But those signs, I want to be in charge of the freeway signs, because if I see click it or tick it again, I'm going to ram the DMV and blow myself up. I wanted to say, use your turn signal. Nobody uses their turn signal. I have... 15 ideas. I've never heard a politician discuss it. It never comes up. We waste time. By the way, it's bad for the environment just to sit and idle in traffic.
But our lives are just sand through the hourglass because we have so much traffic. It's depressing. People aren't being productive. There are ways to move things along. You don't need to put a second story on the 405. There's an efficiency thing that we're not at. Here's how I would treat traffic. Once in a while, there's a big drought. And so they go, we're in a drought. We want to save water.
So they put all these campaigns out. Sweep your driveway. Don't hose it down. And don't wash your car. Take it to the place where. And then we end up saving 30% of water because we just got on it. They made an issue out of it. They woke some people up. They went, fine, I'll put in the fake lawn instead of the sod that I water every day. Do that with traffic. Just wake people up.
I'll be the czar, and I'll make it happen. When I tried to talk to Gavin Newsom about traffic 13 years ago, he gave probably the most insane answer, even more insane than the homelessness answer, which is, you wouldn't think you could get more insane than that answer, but... His answer was when I said to him, what are we going to do about traffic? Like, let's go. Let's work on this.
He goes, I saw a sign I kind of liked. I said, yeah. He goes, it said, you're not in traffic. You are traffic. I kind of liked that. And then he laughed. And then he changed the subject. And I have no idea what he meant. And I don't think he knows what he meant. But I don't know at this point. Do you think his wife is crazier than he is?
Well, I could have saw the clip out of context, so I'll give her whatever benefit. But from the clip I saw, she was saying that, you know, murderers could, you know, could have been an accident. Like, you know, she killed her sister. So, you know.
Oh, there's a few tapes of her saying the same thing.
You know.
Wait, we have him. All right, you heard Gavin Newsom's approach to a solution on homelessness. Now he's going to set his sights on traffic. And California, with some of the worst traffic in the world, doesn't have a policy that Idaho thought of. Is that right? This can't be the first time you've heard this. Well, not specifically this.
