Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It's good you're here because we have an unusually good
show today. We're gonna start off with Spencer Pratt live
in studio, just a day from his big debate where
he blew out Karen Bass and Nithia Rahman. Next hour
on the phone, we're gonna have doctor Oz from the
Trump Administration Health and Human Services because he has issued
deadlines to the state of California regarding all the Medicare frauds.
(00:29):
So there's a lot going on in the world. Let's
welcome Spencer Pratt right off the top of your Spencer,
how are you unbelievable? Yeah, you had an unbelievable night.
I watched it this morning because your broadcast was on
at the same time I was on, so I didn't
get to see it till this morning, and I watched
it a second time just because I wanted to pull
out some clips. I'm I go, bab, this is really good.
(00:52):
I haven't seen a candidate in the state or the
city talk plainly like that, and you were just being
yourself and it just struck me what phonies all the
rest of these politicians are. That you just used normal
language that I never hear them using.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Well, it was so great.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
After the debate, there was some high school kids in
the crowd and they came up and they were all,
thank you so much for speaking the truth. These kids
couldn't have been older than fourteen years old, and for me,
it was like a moment in my life, like, there
you go, these young kids can see how powerful the
truth is and being authentic and no more image crafting
(01:32):
and these politics. When you stand next to just two
pathological liars and you know everything they're saying is just
a lie, it was so challenging, and it was a
really good experience for me because I didn't want to
interrupt them unless they said my name, because that.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Was the rules. I had to wait.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
So a lot of things they got away with, and
I'm just thinking, nobody believes what they're saying, right, this
is all not true. So that was more challenging being
respectful and just not just saying lie, lie, lie, lie right.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Colon Dolan opened up the debate by saying, you know,
we don't want any name calling. We want a dignified
debate and I had a feeling it was about you,
and you did call Bassal liar, an incredible liar, an
incredible liar, incredible, and you're right, it was about the
fire and the winds. And they immediately jumped in to
(02:22):
shut you down, saying no name calling. And I'm sitting
there thinking, we'll wait a second. She is lying, she
is a pathological liar. Why that's a description, an accurate
description of what's going on, that's not name calling.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Well, also, no, I said, like a whole sentence of facts,
and then she said that's absolutely not true. And so
to me, if you're saying everything I just said is
not true, then you're calling me a liar.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
So that's why I said she was a liar.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So technically she called me a liar first without saying
the word. But it's insane when she said there was
only one reservoir, ma'am Mayor Cara bass I live next
to the second one that was empty, the one on
the Palisades reservoir, and there's the Santaianez reservoir.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
That's how wrong you are.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I can pretty much, if I my arm was a
little stronger, I could throw a rock at the one
that you said that doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That's how insane that lies.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And was one of my favorite things I've ever done
in my life was tell everybody google the wind speeds.
Every comments section, if you look in any post, everyone
just says no winds higher than forty No winds high
because people googled it.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yes, well, because you have the palisades, the town, and
then you have some wind monitors way up on the mountain.
Wait far to the north and Santa Ana winds will
be much stronger in a mountain or in a pass,
but by time they get there. Because I'm in Brentwood,
so I know how that works. You drive, you drive
(03:46):
way up in the mountains even if you could, I
don't even know if they have roads to get up there.
So the winds are double up there during a Santa
Ana wind Santa Ana event, and yeah, they're in the
thirties and forties on the west side of LA and
that is standard Santana weather. There was nothing on you
vile about it.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Here's my other fare.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
She's like, and if the winds were so much, why
weren't the planes flying? I posted on Instagram everywhere all
the planes flying, you know, to the video of I personally,
ma'am mayor Vais was standing on the hill until my
house burned down, watching the planes for Thank you Canada.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
These were those super.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Scoopers scooping up the water and dropping it on There's
two of them. I watched them from ten thirty in
the morning or whatever. Tell I had to leave my
house on fire. So again she's trying to call me
a liar. And here's the best part. Ready, not the
best way. They're all just amazing. Then she says he's lying.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It was.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
It wasn't for firefighting. The reservoirs for a million years.
It was built eighteen before years after she was born.
She was alive for eighteen years. Why it was for
wildfire protection.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I went through all the La Times stories. In fact,
the La Times reported on their own stories and originally
after the bel Air fire in nineteen sixty one, they
were short of water, so in sixty four they came
up with this reservoir idea and it was specifically for
firefighting and period and a story. And what I also
like to point is when they drained the reservoir in
(05:13):
twenty twenty four, the year before the fire, nobody in
the Palace Sades went thirsty. There was plenty of water
for the whole town for the entire year of twenty
twenty four, and then the fire happens in January twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
So clearly they didn't need the water. They didn't use any,
they didn't have any.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Then I wish I had had an extra thirty seconds
to mention that. Also, the imaginary one that doesn't exist,
she said, that was drained also, so they didn't need
the five million gallon reservoir across through from my house
that she pretends doesn't exist. A lot of people were
shocked that he or she is smiling and calling me
a liar to the person whose house burned down, my parents'
(05:49):
house burned out, like I'm not a rando person. I'm
technically a victim of your negligence. And she's smiling, acting
like so it is.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
That's her weapon, is that smile, and it works on
a lot of people. And she could be saying the
most absurd thing in the world, but she's got that
grandmother's smile, and people go, oh, isn't that cute. She's
completely it's just it's evil actually to be smiling like
that when she was talking about such devastation.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
It was, it was, it was just beyond I actually
had so much fun because when you're next to two
pathological liars and you see the first hand that the
corrupt politics right there, you're right next to it and
you know everything. It was so because you know, you
see it on the internet, but we were standing next
to it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I was like, Oh, this is what was it like
when you got there? Did you have to sit in
a green room before you guys went on air in
the studio together?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So they put me They said it was the best room.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But they put me in the basement, which was you know,
so that was that was funny. I was in the basement,
but it was a beautiful basement. And when I got
to come up from the basement, I was in a
hallway and she had her amazing lapds, you know, security
team all secure in the hallway and I could hear
her voice and it was like out of a scary movie.
(07:07):
So I'm thinking this is surreal because you know, I've
never been near a real life monster, right, Like, this
is out of a scary movie. And so we go
out there and we stand next to each other, we
set up and they go, Okay, we'll be here for
five minutes. Like five minutes they're kind of like four minutes.
(07:27):
And she looks over at me and she goes, you've
done this before. And I go a debate and she's
like yeah. I was like, no, it's my first one.
She's like, oh, your first one like this. I'm like, no,
my first debate ever. You didn't do them at the university.
I was like, no, I didn't do debates at the university.
She's like, oh wow. I'm thinking to myself, lady, I'm
gonna eat you alive right now. And then I saw
(07:49):
that she was looking at my notepad, and so to
throw her off, I just start writing my kids' names
and my wife's name, my parents' name, just to I
confuse her if she's trying to cheat off My out bad.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But now, what was it like being near Anthea Ramen.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I had already actually felt her presence at the LAFD
Union endorsement meeting. I was in my parking lot changing
into a suit like outside, and all of a sudden,
it felt like a dark cloud and like rain, and
like a nightmare hit my shoulder. I was like, WHOA,
what is that? And I look over and it was her,
and I called my wife. I said, oh my god,
(08:27):
that was the scariest energy I've you know, I met
thousands and thousands and thousands people. It was one of
the spookiest energies I've ever felt in my whole life. Really,
by far, she's scary. Scary Karen Bass had less scary
aura than Councilwoman Ramen.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, so did it when when that first exchange when
you called Bass correctly a liar and then they jumped
in and said you can't do that. Were you expecting
that day to throw you off? How did you think?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah? I didn't think it was name calling. So well.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I was having so much fun to be there because
to me, I already felt God was put me there.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I'm supposed to be there, so.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I wasn't gonna let anything take me out of this moment.
Is clearly if somebody telling the truth was meant to
be on that stage on live TV against two liars
that have destroyed our city, so they couldn't take I
wanted to go for three more hours. I had so
much more to say that I was actually sad when
it ended.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I was like, no, all.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Right, We're gonna talk more with Spencer Pratt overwhelmingly. I
don't know if you saw.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The poll eighty nine. Did they get to eighty seven?
Is I think seventy nine? No? No, it got it
got to eighty seven, got to eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, I hated an approval rating of eighty seven percent
during Yeah, that you won the debate yesterday against Bass
and Rahmen. Really a terrific performance. And I really think
it's really shocks the race much more than you entering
the race. But we'll talk about that when we come back.
What the expectations were from a lot of people, because
I'm sure you heard a lot of comments going into
(10:02):
this where people are saying I kind of like them,
but I don't know, but I think you proved something
last night. We'll talk about it more when we come back.
It's the John Cobelt Show with Spencer Pratt.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
John Cobelt's show.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Spencer Pratt here a day since he had a dazzling
debate Againstnythia Rahman and Mayor Karen Bass, and we're live
on YouTube. We got a live stream going on YouTube
so you could watch us and four o'clock, we're gonna
have doctor oz On by phone about the latest crackdowns
against California. So let's talk about what I saw is
(10:45):
Bass admitting to a lot of screw ups. She blamed
everything on Kristin Crowley. But the whole lawsuit is about
how there's at least gross negligence, if not worse. And
then what she was describing and trying to explain what happened,
she was giving all the details for gross negligence. She
pretty much sealed the city's case. They pretty much lost
(11:08):
the case with that response yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, her munger until seventeen hundred dollars an hour law
firm in the case, they say that it was never
the water the reservoirs was never for wildfire protection. Mayor
Bass last night on TV Live said it was for
wildfire protection, but that was like a million years ago,
with a smile, Oh that's convenient. So it was built
(11:35):
for that. That's what our case, the victim says. But
your lawyers from Monger Intel says it was never So
just right there and that'll be and then that's going
in the case now.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Right, And she admitted, yeah, the firefighters were sent home
trucks were busted. There were some good trucks that weren't used.
The hydrants were busted, the reservoirs were drained. Well, this
is the whole case about why the city is liable
for all damage.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You know, one line.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I didn't have time because I was respectful of the clock.
When she said there was no planes flying, even though
there were planes flying, I wanted to say, no, there
were no planes flying from your order at La City
because no fixed wing airsport was ever ordered, because obviously
she was in Ghana, and her deputy mayor, who should
have approved the fixed wing air sport that was called
(12:23):
in by LAFD he was on house arrest for calling
in the bomb threat. So maybe that's where she's confused
about the no planes because somebody probably told her, well,
you never called in the planes and they're you know,
but thankfully La County brought in planes.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I tell you, you know, it's everything I knew. But
as you guys were talking and going through all the
screw ups, it's astonishing about the total breakdown of government,
the total failure of her and her lieutenants. There was
literally nobody in charge that day, not the fire chief,
not her not her deputy mayor, not the council president,
(12:58):
who didn't seem missing ant. There was nobody to call
the shots.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I posted in my Instagram story today a firefighters said
she was absolutely lying about firefighters ready and that they
just couldn't they were all available, blah blah blah. He
was like, we all came left our families to support,
but there was no equipment for us. So when she
said there was plenty of firefighters, there were, but there
(13:23):
was no equipment because she cut the budget by seventeen
million dollars nine weeks before when Chief Crowley warned her,
and that's what she says in her loss. I told
Mayor Karen Bass that Angelina knows I cannot keep them
safe with the current budget and where our engines are.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Colin Owen also pointed out, say I'm paraphrasing. There was
no question that the fire department let that original fire
smolder without completely annihilating the thing, and she didn't push
back on that.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So I.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I had Roger Bailey on yesterday, one of the lead
plaintive attorneys. I don't know if you're connected to his
lawsuit or not, and he's representing thousands of Palisades lawsuits
and you know they finally are going to have discovery now.
An appeals court cleared the way because the city was
trying to block up the whole process, saying the suit
should be thrown out, and the Peels court said no,
it's going to move on, and it's.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
She's going to get deposed. We're going to get her
text messages that she deleted.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I mean, if I have to call the NSA myself,
we're going to get those text messages. So she deleted
her text messages. The mayor of the city. That is
again the list of when people say to me, like, oh, Spencer,
you don't have the experience to be a mayor. You
mean a criminal, the experience to be a criminal corrupt
politician that lets twelve people bird alive a whole entire
(14:46):
city and then actively covers it up for what sixteen
months straight, gets caught by The La Times even reported
on her altering the after action word, I don't have
that experience.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You're right, I don't. Thank god, we have some hope
in the city.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Niftiya Ramen came across as completely out of her league, overwhelmed,
not prepared. I was surprised that she was as bad
as she was.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
What did you think I knew it was happening because
if you watch any clips of her, she's always holding
like ten pieces of paper and reading from if you
have to hold like an essay to read from, like
you're in class. Like I'm sure she was a great
student at her Ivy League school and her post grad
I bet she was a great student.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
She had great notes.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
But in the real world you got to have the
truth and you need to actually speak from your heart.
And Mayor bass I said she pretends to care. She's
a better liar. Council went Ramen. Can't even do good lying.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Period.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
The best part about the whole night, and this is
why I'll win, is for an hour straight, both these
two people blamed each other for the failures of homelessness,
which they're in charge of, and their excuse is to
fix it is mumbo jumbo rambling makes no sense. More beds, tree,
more service. Again, these people do not need beds or services.
(16:06):
They need mandatory treatment. Some of these people need jail.
Some of these people need mandatory medical help. But it's
not a bed issue. This is not this is a
complete lie. It is how the NGO scam will continue.
I don't know if they just get so much money
for their campaigns and they're so connected, why they have
to hang on.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I believe that they get a kickback at the end.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Otherwise you just say, hey, we try this inside safe
cost us over four million.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Failure four hundred million minimum. That's the low ball number
on motel rooms. And the best part. I didn't want
to argue and you know, interrupt her, but when she kept.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Saying homeless this is down seventeen percent, she's using them,
first off, made up numbers. But she's comparing it from
like last year. She's not comparing it from when she
started as mayor. And she said she was going to
remove fifteen thousand people even with comparing it from last year. Okay, mayor,
bas where are you counting these people? Because I promise
you a lot of these places where these homeless drug
(17:03):
addicts are living, you can't go near it. You will,
like I said, get stabbed, shot a machete. These are
some of the scariest human beings on earth. In these encampments.
Nobody's opening up these zipped tents. They're not going in.
There's people popping out of sewers that wand from clean
LA had to find.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Are they going into every sewer and with a clicker
and going wan too.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
The numbers are the most made up numbers ever, even
that made up number the RAND corporations. So they said,
that's their count is thirty percent higher than the made
up count. And how is the RAND corporation counting? This
is impossible to count. It's who's home. They're also not
counting just the crazy people that are walking through the
(17:44):
street just because they're not in an encampment. Are you
going to say that person's homeless?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Most of these people just hanging up.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
They count all the people's stuffed in that tunnel under
the one ten freeway that just lit on fire, and
they've had a second tunnel with last night.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Last night when I was saying dead serious to counselmen, ron,
I will take you below the Harbor Freeway because I've
heard about some of the most dangerous fentanyl super med
drug dealing. This is a place where LAPD knows if
they go down there, they will get shot at. They
don't go down That's why I said, let's go try
your treatment first. A little plan there down there where
you're gonna get stabbed in the neck. Yes, last night
(18:18):
there was a fire in that area and it let
you know, pro I damage the freeway. The amount of
these fires that are damaging are freeways. Another great thing
before I forget counsel in rama when she's bragging about
I do brush clearance this that. So I met with
the firefighters a lot of different firefighters, specifically one firefighter
that was at her district at a community meeting and
(18:39):
was warning all these in the Hollywood Hills about these
encampment fire dangers, the brush dangers. He said that right
after he gave the whole warning, she gets up and goes,
don't listen to him. That's not true. You're totally fine.
So last night she's like, we're doing all this when
I literally had a firefighter tell me before this that
she argued with him when he was to warn her constituents.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
All right, hang on, got to do the news more
with Spencer Pratt coming up. We are live streaming on
YouTube right now.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And we have Spencer Pratt on a day after he
blew out Karen Bass and Nathia Rahman in the debate.
We are live streaming on YouTube right now, and also
you could hear this on the podcast later on John Cobelt'
show on demand on the iHeart app. But if you
want to watch this on video live, go to YouTube
and we are there now. I have talked to a
(19:36):
lot of people. I live on the West Side, not
far from where the fire was, and there's a lot
of people who hate bass and they know Ramen is
even whack here, but they say, Spencer Pratt, I don't know,
and you've understood why.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
You come out of entertainment, you come out of reality show.
You are very exuberant, and you put out sometimes these
wild videos, and people who were used to candidates being
a certain way, even if they're bad, it's like, oh,
I don't know, but I think last night's performance will
make a lot of them come around because you came
(20:16):
across quite controlled, absolutely reasonable and correct on so many things.
You said what we all see with our own eyes.
You studied pretty quickly on how to channel all your
passion and rage into a controlled setting like that. I mean,
what was the process from like the early videos or
(20:36):
even the early phone calls we had on the air here.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Well, I had some very big meetings with some very
powerful democratic mothers, some demn moms that all wanted to
get behind me. They love everything I'm doing, and they said, Spencer,
just show us you can be calm, cool and collected
when it matters. So I talked to God all day,
I say, I was praying. I was like, God, please
(21:00):
let me channel calm, cool and collected because the problem
with that is what I relate to the most is
all the angry Angelinos. So when they try to say, oh,
he's so angry, most of my supporters are people that
are so sick of these corrupt politicians stealing all of
our tax money to increase drug addict zombie type people
(21:21):
coming at them with machetes and knives. No matter what
people say, I get the literal thousands of messages with
videos and photos of what people are exposed to on
the streets of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It is worse than Gotham City. It's so scary.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
So I channel that anger for these people because I've
been angry since they've burned my house down, they burned
my parents house down, they burned all my neighbors.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I've been angry for almost what eighteen months.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yes, But now that I'm out in all these communities,
meeting with these community leaders, these elderly, poor old ladies
crying to me how upset they are, how dangerous it
feels for them, they can't walk their little dogs on
the sidewalk, I start picking up that anger for all
of Los Angeles, for millions of people that feel LA
has fallen apart and it's so horrible. So I know
(22:09):
that there's people that are concerned that I can't lock
it in and be, you know, a politician, But of
course I can. But the anger is necessary to show
I'm not okay with what they've done and what they're
doing to the city. So it's a balance to ying Yang. Obviously,
I'm going to work on showing more calm, cool and
collected if that's what all these Democrat moms want for me,
(22:29):
and they're all on.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Board, because that's part of your nature too, being calm.
I sell healing crystals. I'm a very chill guy.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
You know you're not running around screaming no, kay. I
get that too, because I just let out my inner
insanity here. But when I'm at a party, everybody goes, oh,
you're the guy on the radio guy, you're so quiet reserved. Well,
I am quiet and reserved, but there's stuff inside of me.
And I have the show as an outlet for what
I see, and you're using your political run as an
outlet for what you see, and it's an outlet for
(22:57):
everybody else who's going through the same experience.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
One thing twenty years ago, you know, major producers would
always tell me and that I locked in.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
They said, Spencer, when you're delivering a.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Message through with the tvouspor this is before iPhones. But
when you're on camera, people are watching you through a
box in their house, So you have to be over
the top. You have to be bigger than so they
actually feel it, they connected it. So I've been doing
that for twenty years. So then when I'm on my iPhone,
I'm talking to this phone, I know people are swiping
all day long. They got so much content just just
(23:30):
pushed on from them. It has to be bigger than life.
So obviously in person, I do not yell into my
I'm not yelling to get my taco. I'm not yell,
But it's when I'm trying to get these people are
stealing all of our money and they're letting seven people
die in the streets every day, and they're letting dogs
be torture and abuse on the sidewalk, and they don't
arrest these people because they don't have an address. And
(23:52):
that's culturally insensive. That message needs more energy. But of course,
when I need to be the mayor of Los Angeles
and meet with whether it's the federal government, state leaders,
I can lock it in and get business done. I'm
a very serious person. My wife and kids think I'm
too serious. So that's what people are gonna learn. You
(24:15):
may think you know me, but I'm a very serious
person when it comes to people's protection and safety and
quality of life.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I'm deadly serious.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You mentioned all the bizarre things people have to put
up in their daily life here in La I got
this text from my wife, and you're gonna be on
her podcast on the twenty first ever Cobelt Live. But
she says, all right, our dog has an eye problem
and she had to take him to the eye doctor today.
She goes there was a stabbing outside of the eye
doctor shortly before she arrived. There were six people standing
(24:46):
outside and she had to walk around six people, and
then a guy in front of her whooped on the
sidewalk as she's walking our dog in. So there's a
stabbing and there's a guy pooping, and this is an
ordinary gotta take the dog to the vet visit, and
this is what everybody goes through every day, and it's
(25:09):
become normalized, like, well, yeah, this is life in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Maybe four days ago, this younger lady went viral on
TikTok and it popped on my feed and she said,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I'm voting for Spencer Pratt.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
She says, you know why because I went to pick
some my friend up at the airport at LX and
as I'm at a light, I see three can.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You say, b U T T h o O. I
don't want to get I.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
See three of these with poop coming out of them
on the sidewalk facing oh, facing me and my car.
She said, that's it. We're done with no more deprecating
in my face. I'm voting for Spencer Pratt. So when
people say, what's your experience, Spencer, I'm going to stop
people from pooping in people's faces.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
That's what level we're at. We're in crazy town.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And they tell you crime is down every time they
squat and poop, that's another crime, but that's not counted anywhere.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
No, And I've talked to as LAPD officers and all
of these crimes, they don't even bother writing tickets because
their watch commander knows.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I'm not Why are you bringing this to me? We can't.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
We're not taking this to the city attorney. They don't
want these infractions. They're not gonna We're done with that.
Everything that we can, you know, obviously, no more poop
into the street, no more living on the street, no
more drugs next to kids, like the list of the obviously.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Is Can you imagine this has to be your adjustment.
That's what I'm saying. I keep saying, what are people
talking about? Experience?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I'm the guy saying no more butts with poop coming
out of him in front of young ladies trying to.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Pick people up at lax where.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
This is My message is a winning message, Okay, not
to mention, just the safety. So that's a great thing.
I was so thankful I got to bring up so
many moms women.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
So funny.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
A guy the other day said he's like, hey, you
keep talking about moms women like us dads are scared
at the park too about getting so. You know, so
I always say moms and women and chilling, but I
had a dad.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
But you don't want the women vote for people like
Karen Bash.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I think it's swung. I think the pendulum. Here's a
great quote. I was meeting with these firefighters at a
different station and the guy said, my wife used to
always say be nice to the homeless people, be nice,
and now after she's been so scared for last year,
she said, get these people off the street.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
And again I'm the compassionate one.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I will get these people in real treatment, probably not
even in our state, because they were brought here by
body brokers and NGOs and medicaid and rehab and scams,
and they get stuck here because when the money drives
up for these little scams, they just let these people
out on the street. I'm gonna find these people, figure
out what they really want. Do you want to go
(27:43):
home to where you're from. I'll find you medical treatment,
and if you're an addict, we're gonna get you that
mandatory treatment. Because if you're addicted to super med or fentanyl,
you don't need a bed, you need somebody to lock
the door and go through.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I'm from LA.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Do you know how many addicts I'm friends with? They
will tell me all daylong, Spencer, I'm ten years sober,
I'm twenty years sober. It's again, I'm from LA. I
know a lot of attic. You do not stop drug
addiction with empty beds and imaginary services that they're not
even providing people.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
And they know what they're doing, Spencer Pratt. One more
segment coming up here on the John coblt Show, and
we're live streaming on YouTube right now, and you can
also hear this on the podcast in case you just
joined us, and that'll be John Cobelt on demand after
six o'clock.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Another segment coming up.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Spencer had a big blow out win. Got what eighty
seven percent of the NBC viewers thought you won the
debate last night against Bass and Rahman. What impressed a
lot of people, and I was really quite taken by
this is your command of all the other issues outside
of the fire and outside of the homelessness. You really
knew what was going on in detail, and you ran
(28:58):
rings around them in terms of understanding all the you know,
the depth of the problems and the policies and what
has worked and what hasn't worked. You just gathered this
up in the last few months or had you always
been tracking this stuff?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I mean, all day long, I'm just meeting with real
people just venting, telling me what they're dealing with. And
that's all I do is just get information firsthand. And thankfully,
due to my social media platform, the entire city messages me, photo, evidence, videos,
document I have like a million investigators right now, so you.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Know just all that.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Now, I have people helping me, just screenshotting, texting me
like we saw this, we saw this. So the whole
city is working with me to expose the corruption of
LA And that's why I know. That's how I knew
that Nythia that in her district, which was bragging about
the accountabilities. I had a homeless from the Integrity Project,
Samantha had just called me the day before and she said,
(29:57):
do you know in Nythia's own district she let this
scam building goal that was on the mark ever three million.
I think of what I said on the debate, I
think it was eight. I think it's ten million dollars
I posted the facts after the debate, I said, because
she's like, I don't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I was like, I'll post it after the debate.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I posted I think it's ten million, because she was
bragging about when I'm mayor, I'm gonna do all this auditing.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
We didn't know where all our dollars.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
First off, you're in charge of the homeless thing for
the city council, So you acting like this isn't Bass
just Bass by herself, Mayor Bas, it's both of you.
But that was somebody who just called me, gave me
all the information so and the documents, and she sent
me the files. Because there's people that are lawyers that
do public records. People in their community have given up
on expecting their politicians to do it from so they've
(30:41):
turned into investigators. They're doing the public records because Rebecca Corey,
the animal rights she's having to sue Mayor Bass personally
because she is gone to the city Council at Mayorbas
and told them about what's happening in these shelters where
they say they're no kill shelters. This poor person thinks,
so I can't afford my dog anymore.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I'm gonna go leave it.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
At the shelter because it says no kill. They're killing
these dogs by the thousand and these people are telling everyone, hey,
and everyone's ignoring them. So thank god I have this
platform right now to expose is demons is evil. They're
killing and torturing dogs in mass and they just.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
That skid Row story from a couple of weeks ago.
It's every day that was.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
In the California Post, the homeless and doing drug experiments
on the dogs to see if the fentandel is too strong.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
That's like a nice version of what they're doing. They're
lighting them on fire. They're raping animals.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
This is happening. Yes, yes, so.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I'm again why I get angry is because I get
the photos, the crazy photos, the videos from all these
people all day long. I honestly had to stop them
in my dms like two days because they amount of
naked drug addicts that moms are sending me. It's it's
psycho and I can't post this because I want to
show this, but my account will get taken down.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Right, so it's almost the flat absurd.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Almost need to start posting it and just blur it,
you know, and I expend the exciment, but I'm moving
so fast and doing so much that it's like, do
I have time to take this naked dude and put
an EMO G on his private parts? But I think
I have to because the amount of naked drug addicts
on the street having sex on the sidewalk in front
of kids.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
We're in psycho land.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
That's why I get like, that's why I feel this
pressure to win in the next twenty five days to
literally save LA.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
You have to know, you absolutely have to.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
It's I keep telling people today, when you get your ballot,
go drop it off.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Do not wait till June second.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
People who are like, oh, Spencer, the elections are rig
the election. If you're concerned about election integrity, well then
don't vote on June second, because that way they would
know how many votes are coming in and they could
maybe if if that happened, that's the day of the
cook So if you're one of these people that's like,
I'm not even going to vote, it doesn't matter. Why
don't you put your ballot in today?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
It matters. Try it today, Spencer. I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Thank you, thank you for spending there with us, and
we'll obviously talk again between now and June. And second,
Spencer Pratt, this is on YouTube the whole hour. It's
been recorded, It's going to be posted in a matter
of minutes. And when we come back, Doctor Oz on
the phone to talk about the latest scandal in California's
given California deadlines to stop all the Medicare fraud and
(33:21):
Atlanta Gonzalez is in for Debormark Live and the Aileen
Gonzalez is in for Debornmark. I always do that once
live in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hey, you've
been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can
always hear the show live on KFI Am six forty
from one to four pm every Monday through Friday, and
of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It's good you're here because we have an unusually good
show today. We're gonna start off with Spencer Pratt live
in studio, just a day from his big debate where
he blew out Karen Bass and Nithia Rahman. Next hour
on the phone, we're gonna have doctor Oz from the
Trump Administration Health and Human Services because he has issued
deadlines to the state of California regarding all the Medicare frauds.
(00:29):
So there's a lot going on in the world. Let's
welcome Spencer Pratt right off the top of your Spencer,
how are you unbelievable? Yeah, you had an unbelievable night.
I watched it this morning because your broadcast was on
at the same time I was on, so I didn't
get to see it till this morning, and I watched
it a second time just because I wanted to pull
out some clips. I'm I go, bab, this is really good.
(00:52):
I haven't seen a candidate in the state or the
city talk plainly like that, and you were just being
yourself and it just struck me what phonies all the
rest of these politicians are. That you just used normal
language that I never hear them using.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Well, it was so great.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
After the debate, there was some high school kids in
the crowd and they came up and they were all,
thank you so much for speaking the truth. These kids
couldn't have been older than fourteen years old, and for me,
it was like a moment in my life, like, there
you go, these young kids can see how powerful the
truth is and being authentic and no more image crafting
(01:32):
and these politics. When you stand next to just two
pathological liars and you know everything they're saying is just
a lie, it was so challenging, and it was a
really good experience for me because I didn't want to
interrupt them unless they said my name, because that.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Was the rules. I had to wait.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
So a lot of things they got away with, and
I'm just thinking, nobody believes what they're saying, right, this
is all not true. So that was more challenging being
respectful and just not just saying lie, lie, lie, lie right.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Colon Dolan opened up the debate by saying, you know,
we don't want any name calling. We want a dignified
debate and I had a feeling it was about you,
and you did call Bassal liar, an incredible liar, an
incredible liar, incredible, and you're right, it was about the
fire and the winds. And they immediately jumped in to
(02:22):
shut you down, saying no name calling. And I'm sitting
there thinking, we'll wait a second. She is lying, she
is a pathological liar. Why that's a description, an accurate
description of what's going on, that's not name calling.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Well, also, no, I said, like a whole sentence of facts,
and then she said that's absolutely not true. And so
to me, if you're saying everything I just said is
not true, then you're calling me a liar.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
So that's why I said she was a liar.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So technically she called me a liar first without saying
the word. But it's insane when she said there was
only one reservoir, ma'am Mayor Cara bass I live next
to the second one that was empty, the one on
the Palisades reservoir, and there's the Santaianez reservoir.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
That's how wrong you are.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I can pretty much, if I my arm was a
little stronger, I could throw a rock at the one
that you said that doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That's how insane that lies.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And was one of my favorite things I've ever done
in my life was tell everybody google the wind speeds.
Every comments section, if you look in any post, everyone
just says no winds higher than forty No winds high
because people googled it.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yes, well, because you have the palisades, the town, and
then you have some wind monitors way up on the mountain.
Wait far to the north and Santa Ana winds will
be much stronger in a mountain or in a pass,
but by time they get there. Because I'm in Brentwood,
so I know how that works. You drive, you drive
(03:46):
way up in the mountains even if you could, I
don't even know if they have roads to get up there.
So the winds are double up there during a Santa
Ana wind Santa Ana event, and yeah, they're in the
thirties and forties on the west side of LA and
that is standard Santana weather. There was nothing on you
vile about it.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Here's my other fare.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
She's like, and if the winds were so much, why
weren't the planes flying? I posted on Instagram everywhere all
the planes flying, you know, to the video of I personally,
ma'am mayor Vais was standing on the hill until my
house burned down, watching the planes for Thank you Canada.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
These were those super.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Scoopers scooping up the water and dropping it on There's
two of them. I watched them from ten thirty in
the morning or whatever. Tell I had to leave my
house on fire. So again she's trying to call me
a liar. And here's the best part. Ready, not the
best way. They're all just amazing. Then she says he's lying.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It was.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
It wasn't for firefighting. The reservoirs for a million years.
It was built eighteen before years after she was born.
She was alive for eighteen years. Why it was for
wildfire protection.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I went through all the La Times stories. In fact,
the La Times reported on their own stories and originally
after the bel Air fire in nineteen sixty one, they
were short of water, so in sixty four they came
up with this reservoir idea and it was specifically for
firefighting and period and a story. And what I also
like to point is when they drained the reservoir in
(05:13):
twenty twenty four, the year before the fire, nobody in
the Palace Sades went thirsty. There was plenty of water
for the whole town for the entire year of twenty
twenty four, and then the fire happens in January twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
So clearly they didn't need the water. They didn't use any,
they didn't have any.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Then I wish I had had an extra thirty seconds
to mention that. Also, the imaginary one that doesn't exist,
she said, that was drained also, so they didn't need
the five million gallon reservoir across through from my house
that she pretends doesn't exist. A lot of people were
shocked that he or she is smiling and calling me
a liar to the person whose house burned down, my parents'
(05:49):
house burned out, like I'm not a rando person. I'm
technically a victim of your negligence. And she's smiling, acting
like so it is.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
That's her weapon, is that smile, and it works on
a lot of people. And she could be saying the
most absurd thing in the world, but she's got that
grandmother's smile, and people go, oh, isn't that cute. She's
completely it's just it's evil actually to be smiling like
that when she was talking about such devastation.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
It was, it was, it was just beyond I actually
had so much fun because when you're next to two
pathological liars and you see the first hand that the
corrupt politics right there, you're right next to it and
you know everything. It was so because you know, you
see it on the internet, but we were standing next
to it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I was like, Oh, this is what was it like
when you got there? Did you have to sit in
a green room before you guys went on air in
the studio together?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So they put me They said it was the best room.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But they put me in the basement, which was you know,
so that was that was funny. I was in the basement,
but it was a beautiful basement. And when I got
to come up from the basement, I was in a
hallway and she had her amazing lapds, you know, security
team all secure in the hallway and I could hear
her voice and it was like out of a scary movie.
(07:07):
So I'm thinking this is surreal because you know, I've
never been near a real life monster, right, Like, this
is out of a scary movie. And so we go
out there and we stand next to each other, we
set up and they go, Okay, we'll be here for
five minutes. Like five minutes they're kind of like four minutes.
(07:27):
And she looks over at me and she goes, you've
done this before. And I go a debate and she's
like yeah. I was like, no, it's my first one.
She's like, oh, your first one like this. I'm like, no,
my first debate ever. You didn't do them at the university.
I was like, no, I didn't do debates at the university.
She's like, oh wow. I'm thinking to myself, lady, I'm
gonna eat you alive right now. And then I saw
(07:49):
that she was looking at my notepad, and so to
throw her off, I just start writing my kids' names
and my wife's name, my parents' name, just to I
confuse her if she's trying to cheat off My out bad.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But now, what was it like being near Anthea Ramen.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I had already actually felt her presence at the LAFD
Union endorsement meeting. I was in my parking lot changing
into a suit like outside, and all of a sudden,
it felt like a dark cloud and like rain, and
like a nightmare hit my shoulder. I was like, WHOA,
what is that? And I look over and it was her,
and I called my wife. I said, oh my god,
(08:27):
that was the scariest energy I've you know, I met
thousands and thousands and thousands people. It was one of
the spookiest energies I've ever felt in my whole life. Really,
by far, she's scary. Scary Karen Bass had less scary
aura than Councilwoman Ramen.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, so did it when when that first exchange when
you called Bass correctly a liar and then they jumped
in and said you can't do that. Were you expecting
that day to throw you off? How did you think?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah? I didn't think it was name calling. So well.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I was having so much fun to be there because
to me, I already felt God was put me there.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I'm supposed to be there, so.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I wasn't gonna let anything take me out of this moment.
Is clearly if somebody telling the truth was meant to
be on that stage on live TV against two liars
that have destroyed our city, so they couldn't take I
wanted to go for three more hours. I had so
much more to say that I was actually sad when
it ended.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I was like, no, all.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Right, We're gonna talk more with Spencer Pratt overwhelmingly. I
don't know if you saw.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The poll eighty nine. Did they get to eighty seven?
Is I think seventy nine? No? No, it got it
got to eighty seven, got to eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, I hated an approval rating of eighty seven percent
during Yeah, that you won the debate yesterday against Bass
and Rahmen. Really a terrific performance. And I really think
it's really shocks the race much more than you entering
the race. But we'll talk about that when we come back.
What the expectations were from a lot of people, because
I'm sure you heard a lot of comments going into
(10:02):
this where people are saying I kind of like them,
but I don't know, but I think you proved something
last night. We'll talk about it more when we come back.
It's the John Cobelt Show with Spencer Pratt.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
John Cobelt's show.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Spencer Pratt here a day since he had a dazzling
debate Againstnythia Rahman and Mayor Karen Bass, and we're live
on YouTube. We got a live stream going on YouTube
so you could watch us and four o'clock, we're gonna
have doctor oz On by phone about the latest crackdowns
against California. So let's talk about what I saw is
(10:45):
Bass admitting to a lot of screw ups. She blamed
everything on Kristin Crowley. But the whole lawsuit is about
how there's at least gross negligence, if not worse. And
then what she was describing and trying to explain what happened,
she was giving all the details for gross negligence. She
pretty much sealed the city's case. They pretty much lost
(11:08):
the case with that response yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, her munger until seventeen hundred dollars an hour law
firm in the case, they say that it was never
the water the reservoirs was never for wildfire protection. Mayor
Bass last night on TV Live said it was for
wildfire protection, but that was like a million years ago,
with a smile, Oh that's convenient. So it was built
(11:35):
for that. That's what our case, the victim says. But
your lawyers from Monger Intel says it was never So
just right there and that'll be and then that's going
in the case now.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Right, And she admitted, yeah, the firefighters were sent home
trucks were busted. There were some good trucks that weren't used.
The hydrants were busted, the reservoirs were drained. Well, this
is the whole case about why the city is liable
for all damage.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You know, one line.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I didn't have time because I was respectful of the clock.
When she said there was no planes flying, even though
there were planes flying, I wanted to say, no, there
were no planes flying from your order at La City
because no fixed wing airsport was ever ordered, because obviously
she was in Ghana, and her deputy mayor, who should
have approved the fixed wing air sport that was called
(12:23):
in by LAFD he was on house arrest for calling
in the bomb threat. So maybe that's where she's confused
about the no planes because somebody probably told her, well,
you never called in the planes and they're you know,
but thankfully La County brought in planes.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I tell you, you know, it's everything I knew. But
as you guys were talking and going through all the
screw ups, it's astonishing about the total breakdown of government,
the total failure of her and her lieutenants. There was
literally nobody in charge that day, not the fire chief,
not her not her deputy mayor, not the council president,
(12:58):
who didn't seem missing ant. There was nobody to call
the shots.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I posted in my Instagram story today a firefighters said
she was absolutely lying about firefighters ready and that they
just couldn't they were all available, blah blah blah. He
was like, we all came left our families to support,
but there was no equipment for us. So when she
said there was plenty of firefighters, there were, but there
(13:23):
was no equipment because she cut the budget by seventeen
million dollars nine weeks before when Chief Crowley warned her,
and that's what she says in her loss. I told
Mayor Karen Bass that Angelina knows I cannot keep them
safe with the current budget and where our engines are.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Colin Owen also pointed out, say I'm paraphrasing. There was
no question that the fire department let that original fire
smolder without completely annihilating the thing, and she didn't push
back on that.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So I.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I had Roger Bailey on yesterday, one of the lead
plaintive attorneys. I don't know if you're connected to his
lawsuit or not, and he's representing thousands of Palisades lawsuits
and you know they finally are going to have discovery now.
An appeals court cleared the way because the city was
trying to block up the whole process, saying the suit
should be thrown out, and the Peels court said no,
it's going to move on, and it's.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
She's going to get deposed. We're going to get her
text messages that she deleted.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I mean, if I have to call the NSA myself,
we're going to get those text messages. So she deleted
her text messages. The mayor of the city. That is
again the list of when people say to me, like, oh, Spencer,
you don't have the experience to be a mayor. You
mean a criminal, the experience to be a criminal corrupt
politician that lets twelve people bird alive a whole entire
(14:46):
city and then actively covers it up for what sixteen
months straight, gets caught by The La Times even reported
on her altering the after action word, I don't have
that experience.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You're right, I don't. Thank god, we have some hope
in the city.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Niftiya Ramen came across as completely out of her league, overwhelmed,
not prepared. I was surprised that she was as bad
as she was.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
What did you think I knew it was happening because
if you watch any clips of her, she's always holding
like ten pieces of paper and reading from if you
have to hold like an essay to read from, like
you're in class. Like I'm sure she was a great
student at her Ivy League school and her post grad
I bet she was a great student.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
She had great notes.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
But in the real world you got to have the
truth and you need to actually speak from your heart.
And Mayor bass I said she pretends to care. She's
a better liar. Council went Ramen. Can't even do good lying.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Period.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
The best part about the whole night, and this is
why I'll win, is for an hour straight, both these
two people blamed each other for the failures of homelessness,
which they're in charge of, and their excuse is to
fix it is mumbo jumbo rambling makes no sense. More beds, tree,
more service. Again, these people do not need beds or services.
(16:06):
They need mandatory treatment. Some of these people need jail.
Some of these people need mandatory medical help. But it's
not a bed issue. This is not this is a
complete lie. It is how the NGO scam will continue.
I don't know if they just get so much money
for their campaigns and they're so connected, why they have
to hang on.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I believe that they get a kickback at the end.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Otherwise you just say, hey, we try this inside safe
cost us over four million.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Failure four hundred million minimum. That's the low ball number
on motel rooms. And the best part. I didn't want
to argue and you know, interrupt her, but when she kept.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Saying homeless this is down seventeen percent, she's using them,
first off, made up numbers. But she's comparing it from
like last year. She's not comparing it from when she
started as mayor. And she said she was going to
remove fifteen thousand people even with comparing it from last year. Okay, mayor,
bas where are you counting these people? Because I promise
you a lot of these places where these homeless drug
(17:03):
addicts are living, you can't go near it. You will,
like I said, get stabbed, shot a machete. These are
some of the scariest human beings on earth. In these encampments.
Nobody's opening up these zipped tents. They're not going in.
There's people popping out of sewers that wand from clean
LA had to find.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Are they going into every sewer and with a clicker
and going wan too.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
The numbers are the most made up numbers ever, even
that made up number the RAND corporations. So they said,
that's their count is thirty percent higher than the made
up count. And how is the RAND corporation counting? This
is impossible to count. It's who's home. They're also not
counting just the crazy people that are walking through the
(17:44):
street just because they're not in an encampment. Are you
going to say that person's homeless?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Most of these people just hanging up.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
They count all the people's stuffed in that tunnel under
the one ten freeway that just lit on fire, and
they've had a second tunnel with last night.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Last night when I was saying dead serious to counselmen, ron,
I will take you below the Harbor Freeway because I've
heard about some of the most dangerous fentanyl super med
drug dealing. This is a place where LAPD knows if
they go down there, they will get shot at. They
don't go down That's why I said, let's go try
your treatment first. A little plan there down there where
you're gonna get stabbed in the neck. Yes, last night
(18:18):
there was a fire in that area and it let
you know, pro I damage the freeway. The amount of
these fires that are damaging are freeways. Another great thing
before I forget counsel in rama when she's bragging about
I do brush clearance this that. So I met with
the firefighters a lot of different firefighters, specifically one firefighter
that was at her district at a community meeting and
(18:39):
was warning all these in the Hollywood Hills about these
encampment fire dangers, the brush dangers. He said that right
after he gave the whole warning, she gets up and goes,
don't listen to him. That's not true. You're totally fine.
So last night she's like, we're doing all this when
I literally had a firefighter tell me before this that
she argued with him when he was to warn her constituents.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
All right, hang on, got to do the news more
with Spencer Pratt coming up. We are live streaming on
YouTube right now.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
And we have Spencer Pratt on a day after he
blew out Karen Bass and Nathia Rahman in the debate.
We are live streaming on YouTube right now, and also
you could hear this on the podcast later on John Cobelt'
show on demand on the iHeart app. But if you
want to watch this on video live, go to YouTube
and we are there now. I have talked to a
(19:36):
lot of people. I live on the West Side, not
far from where the fire was, and there's a lot
of people who hate bass and they know Ramen is
even whack here, but they say, Spencer Pratt, I don't know,
and you've understood why.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
You come out of entertainment, you come out of reality show.
You are very exuberant, and you put out sometimes these
wild videos, and people who were used to candidates being
a certain way, even if they're bad, it's like, oh,
I don't know, but I think last night's performance will
make a lot of them come around because you came
(20:16):
across quite controlled, absolutely reasonable and correct on so many things.
You said what we all see with our own eyes.
You studied pretty quickly on how to channel all your
passion and rage into a controlled setting like that. I mean,
what was the process from like the early videos or
(20:36):
even the early phone calls we had on the air here.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Well, I had some very big meetings with some very
powerful democratic mothers, some demn moms that all wanted to
get behind me. They love everything I'm doing, and they said, Spencer,
just show us you can be calm, cool and collected
when it matters. So I talked to God all day,
I say, I was praying. I was like, God, please
(21:00):
let me channel calm, cool and collected because the problem
with that is what I relate to the most is
all the angry Angelinos. So when they try to say, oh,
he's so angry, most of my supporters are people that
are so sick of these corrupt politicians stealing all of
our tax money to increase drug addict zombie type people
(21:21):
coming at them with machetes and knives. No matter what
people say, I get the literal thousands of messages with
videos and photos of what people are exposed to on
the streets of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It is worse than Gotham City. It's so scary.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
So I channel that anger for these people because I've
been angry since they've burned my house down, they burned
my parents house down, they burned all my neighbors.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I've been angry for almost what eighteen months.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yes, But now that I'm out in all these communities,
meeting with these community leaders, these elderly, poor old ladies
crying to me how upset they are, how dangerous it
feels for them, they can't walk their little dogs on
the sidewalk, I start picking up that anger for all
of Los Angeles, for millions of people that feel LA
has fallen apart and it's so horrible. So I know
(22:09):
that there's people that are concerned that I can't lock
it in and be, you know, a politician, But of
course I can. But the anger is necessary to show
I'm not okay with what they've done and what they're
doing to the city. So it's a balance to ying Yang. Obviously,
I'm going to work on showing more calm, cool and
collected if that's what all these Democrat moms want for me,
(22:29):
and they're all on.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Board, because that's part of your nature too, being calm.
I sell healing crystals. I'm a very chill guy.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
You know you're not running around screaming no, kay. I
get that too, because I just let out my inner
insanity here. But when I'm at a party, everybody goes, oh,
you're the guy on the radio guy, you're so quiet reserved. Well,
I am quiet and reserved, but there's stuff inside of me.
And I have the show as an outlet for what
I see, and you're using your political run as an
outlet for what you see, and it's an outlet for
(22:57):
everybody else who's going through the same experience.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
One thing twenty years ago, you know, major producers would
always tell me and that I locked in.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
They said, Spencer, when you're delivering a.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Message through with the tvouspor this is before iPhones. But
when you're on camera, people are watching you through a
box in their house, So you have to be over
the top. You have to be bigger than so they
actually feel it, they connected it. So I've been doing
that for twenty years. So then when I'm on my iPhone,
I'm talking to this phone, I know people are swiping
all day long. They got so much content just just
(23:30):
pushed on from them. It has to be bigger than life.
So obviously in person, I do not yell into my
I'm not yelling to get my taco. I'm not yell,
But it's when I'm trying to get these people are
stealing all of our money and they're letting seven people
die in the streets every day, and they're letting dogs
be torture and abuse on the sidewalk, and they don't
arrest these people because they don't have an address. And
(23:52):
that's culturally insensive. That message needs more energy. But of course,
when I need to be the mayor of Los Angeles
and meet with whether it's the federal government, state leaders,
I can lock it in and get business done. I'm
a very serious person. My wife and kids think I'm
too serious. So that's what people are gonna learn. You
(24:15):
may think you know me, but I'm a very serious
person when it comes to people's protection and safety and
quality of life.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I'm deadly serious.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You mentioned all the bizarre things people have to put
up in their daily life here in La I got
this text from my wife, and you're gonna be on
her podcast on the twenty first ever Cobelt Live. But
she says, all right, our dog has an eye problem
and she had to take him to the eye doctor today.
She goes there was a stabbing outside of the eye
doctor shortly before she arrived. There were six people standing
(24:46):
outside and she had to walk around six people, and
then a guy in front of her whooped on the
sidewalk as she's walking our dog in. So there's a
stabbing and there's a guy pooping, and this is an
ordinary gotta take the dog to the vet visit, and
this is what everybody goes through every day, and it's
(25:09):
become normalized, like, well, yeah, this is life in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Maybe four days ago, this younger lady went viral on
TikTok and it popped on my feed and she said,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I'm voting for Spencer Pratt.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
She says, you know why because I went to pick
some my friend up at the airport at LX and
as I'm at a light, I see three can.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You say, b U T T h o O. I
don't want to get I.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
See three of these with poop coming out of them
on the sidewalk facing oh, facing me and my car.
She said, that's it. We're done with no more deprecating
in my face. I'm voting for Spencer Pratt. So when
people say, what's your experience, Spencer, I'm going to stop
people from pooping in people's faces.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
That's what level we're at. We're in crazy town.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And they tell you crime is down every time they
squat and poop, that's another crime, but that's not counted anywhere.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
No, And I've talked to as LAPD officers and all
of these crimes, they don't even bother writing tickets because
their watch commander knows.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I'm not Why are you bringing this to me? We can't.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
We're not taking this to the city attorney. They don't
want these infractions. They're not gonna We're done with that.
Everything that we can, you know, obviously, no more poop
into the street, no more living on the street, no
more drugs next to kids, like the list of the obviously.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Is Can you imagine this has to be your adjustment.
That's what I'm saying. I keep saying, what are people
talking about? Experience?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I'm the guy saying no more butts with poop coming
out of him in front of young ladies trying to.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Pick people up at lax where.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
This is My message is a winning message, Okay, not
to mention, just the safety. So that's a great thing.
I was so thankful I got to bring up so
many moms women.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
So funny.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
A guy the other day said he's like, hey, you
keep talking about moms women like us dads are scared
at the park too about getting so. You know, so
I always say moms and women and chilling, but I
had a dad.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
But you don't want the women vote for people like
Karen Bash.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I think it's swung. I think the pendulum. Here's a
great quote. I was meeting with these firefighters at a
different station and the guy said, my wife used to
always say be nice to the homeless people, be nice,
and now after she's been so scared for last year,
she said, get these people off the street.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
And again I'm the compassionate one.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I will get these people in real treatment, probably not
even in our state, because they were brought here by
body brokers and NGOs and medicaid and rehab and scams,
and they get stuck here because when the money drives
up for these little scams, they just let these people
out on the street. I'm gonna find these people, figure
out what they really want. Do you want to go
(27:43):
home to where you're from. I'll find you medical treatment,
and if you're an addict, we're gonna get you that
mandatory treatment. Because if you're addicted to super med or fentanyl,
you don't need a bed, you need somebody to lock
the door and go through.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I'm from LA.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Do you know how many addicts I'm friends with? They
will tell me all daylong, Spencer, I'm ten years sober,
I'm twenty years sober. It's again, I'm from LA. I
know a lot of attic. You do not stop drug
addiction with empty beds and imaginary services that they're not
even providing people.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
And they know what they're doing, Spencer Pratt. One more
segment coming up here on the John coblt Show, and
we're live streaming on YouTube right now, and you can
also hear this on the podcast in case you just
joined us, and that'll be John Cobelt on demand after
six o'clock.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Another segment coming up.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Spencer had a big blow out win. Got what eighty
seven percent of the NBC viewers thought you won the
debate last night against Bass and Rahman. What impressed a
lot of people, and I was really quite taken by
this is your command of all the other issues outside
of the fire and outside of the homelessness. You really
knew what was going on in detail, and you ran
(28:58):
rings around them in terms of understanding all the you know,
the depth of the problems and the policies and what
has worked and what hasn't worked. You just gathered this
up in the last few months or had you always
been tracking this stuff?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I mean, all day long, I'm just meeting with real
people just venting, telling me what they're dealing with. And
that's all I do is just get information firsthand. And thankfully,
due to my social media platform, the entire city messages me, photo, evidence, videos,
document I have like a million investigators right now, so you.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Know just all that.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Now, I have people helping me, just screenshotting, texting me
like we saw this, we saw this. So the whole
city is working with me to expose the corruption of
LA And that's why I know. That's how I knew
that Nythia that in her district, which was bragging about
the accountabilities. I had a homeless from the Integrity Project,
Samantha had just called me the day before and she said,
(29:57):
do you know in Nythia's own district she let this
scam building goal that was on the mark ever three million.
I think of what I said on the debate, I
think it was eight. I think it's ten million dollars
I posted the facts after the debate, I said, because
she's like, I don't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I was like, I'll post it after the debate.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I posted I think it's ten million, because she was
bragging about when I'm mayor, I'm gonna do all this auditing.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
We didn't know where all our dollars.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
First off, you're in charge of the homeless thing for
the city council, So you acting like this isn't Bass
just Bass by herself, Mayor Bas, it's both of you.
But that was somebody who just called me, gave me
all the information so and the documents, and she sent
me the files. Because there's people that are lawyers that
do public records. People in their community have given up
on expecting their politicians to do it from so they've
(30:41):
turned into investigators. They're doing the public records because Rebecca Corey,
the animal rights she's having to sue Mayor Bass personally
because she is gone to the city Council at Mayorbas
and told them about what's happening in these shelters where
they say they're no kill shelters. This poor person thinks,
so I can't afford my dog anymore.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I'm gonna go leave it.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
At the shelter because it says no kill. They're killing
these dogs by the thousand and these people are telling everyone, hey,
and everyone's ignoring them. So thank god I have this
platform right now to expose is demons is evil. They're
killing and torturing dogs in mass and they just.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
That skid Row story from a couple of weeks ago.
It's every day that was.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
In the California Post, the homeless and doing drug experiments
on the dogs to see if the fentandel is too strong.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
That's like a nice version of what they're doing. They're
lighting them on fire. They're raping animals.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
This is happening. Yes, yes, so.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I'm again why I get angry is because I get
the photos, the crazy photos, the videos from all these
people all day long. I honestly had to stop them
in my dms like two days because they amount of
naked drug addicts that moms are sending me. It's it's
psycho and I can't post this because I want to
show this, but my account will get taken down.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Right, so it's almost the flat absurd.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Almost need to start posting it and just blur it,
you know, and I expend the exciment, but I'm moving
so fast and doing so much that it's like, do
I have time to take this naked dude and put
an EMO G on his private parts? But I think
I have to because the amount of naked drug addicts
on the street having sex on the sidewalk in front
of kids.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
We're in psycho land.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
That's why I get like, that's why I feel this
pressure to win in the next twenty five days to
literally save LA.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
You have to know, you absolutely have to.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
It's I keep telling people today, when you get your ballot,
go drop it off.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Do not wait till June second.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
People who are like, oh, Spencer, the elections are rig
the election. If you're concerned about election integrity, well then
don't vote on June second, because that way they would
know how many votes are coming in and they could
maybe if if that happened, that's the day of the
cook So if you're one of these people that's like,
I'm not even going to vote, it doesn't matter. Why
don't you put your ballot in today?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
It matters. Try it today, Spencer. I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Thank you, thank you for spending there with us, and
we'll obviously talk again between now and June. And second,
Spencer Pratt, this is on YouTube the whole hour. It's
been recorded, It's going to be posted in a matter
of minutes. And when we come back, Doctor Oz on
the phone to talk about the latest scandal in California's
given California deadlines to stop all the Medicare fraud and
