They removed Spencer Pratt's video — but I have it.Spencer Pratt unleashed a fiery new video taking aim at what he sees happening across social media, American culture, political discourse and the disturbing normalization and glorification of violence online.The former 2026 Los Angeles mayoral candidate, who became an outspoken critic of California leadership after losing his Pacific Palisades home in the devastating wildfires, isn't holding back.And now the video has become a story of its own.In this video, we're going to watch what Spencer Pratt said, examine why his message is generating such a strong reaction, discuss the culture he is criticizing, and ask a much bigger question:Have social media and politics pushed American culture past a breaking point?Whatever you think of Spencer Pratt politically, listen to the argument for yourself and make up your own mind.

[REBROADCAST FROM June 10, 2025] On June 6 2025, The Doobie Brothers, reunited with Michael McDonald, released their album, Walk This Road. Last summer, the band was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Ahead of their induction, we held a Listening Party with all four members: Michael McDonald, Patrick Simmons, Tom Johnston, and John McFee.

Woke Los Angeles burned to the ground while the equipment that could have helped fight the fires was relocated to Ukraine by the Marxist Mayor, Karen Bass. Cuts to the fire department budgets certainly did not help the situation either, nor did the lack of leadership by the elected officials who allowed the Pacific Palisades reservoir to remain empty for over a year. The United Nations had signed Los Angeles on to become a 15-Minute City a few years earlier, as the plan to rezone parts of Los Angeles has now been uncovered. SmartLA2028 promises to “transform the way we live” through AI and the Internet of Things sensors connected to 4,500 traffic lights and 180,000 connected street lamps. The plan is taking shape for those with the eyes to see it.---Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink Tree Video ChannelsRumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist PostNewsletter Sign UpAudiobooksHypocrazyThe Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramThe Dollar VigilanteNesa's Hemp | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms

This episode of the John Phillips Show is a wild ride, covering everything from the latest news on disgraced former Congressman Eric Swalwell to the ongoing crime wave in California. The state is plagued by high crime rates, homelessness, and a struggling economy, and it seems like no one is immune to the chaos. From the streets of Pacific Palisades to the highways of South LA, the news is filled with stories of theft, vandalism, and lawlessness. The conversation starts with a discussion on the recent special election in California's 14th congressional district, where State Senator Ayisha Wahab won the seat over former Dublin Mayor Melissa Hernandez. The speaker shares insights on the surprising outcome and the implications it has for the Democratic Party. The discussion also touches on the FBI's investigation into Swalwell's romantic relationship with a suspected Chinese spy and the potential consequences for the former congressman. The episode also delves into the ongoing crime wave in California, with a focus on the Pacific Palisades, where residents are taking matters into their own hands to protect their properties from theft and vandalism. The conversation also covers a high-speed chase in South LA, where a dirt bike rider led police on a wild pursuit before being arrested. If you're tired of the chaos and want to stay informed on the latest news and trends in California, tune in to this episode of the John Phillips Show.

On 7th January 2025, the Altadena and Pacific Palisades neighbourhoods of Los Angeles suffered two of the most destructive fires in the city's history. Twenty-one people died and 15,000 buildings were destroyed over a combined area the size of Paris.The city is still reeling from the scale and intensity of the fires, and the challenge of rebuilding areas in which almost nothing remains standing. As the first tentative shoots of recovery begin to appear, Jonathan Glancey meets locals, including architects Scott Uriu and Michael Kovac. Like Dustin Bramell, co-founder of the Case Study: Adapt programme, they lost their own homes in the fires. Others, like architect and social justice advocate Steven Lewis, or Cynthia Siegler and Alex Athenson, founders of the Foothill Foundation Catalogue, saw their neighbours and communities displaced. Now they're trying to help replace what has been lost while looking for better ways of building, in a land where earthquakes, drought and fire are an ever present threat. As man-made climate change and urban growth worsen the risk and impact of fires, Jonathan asks experts including Dan Turner, a retired fire chief and executive director of Cal Poly's Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Fire Institute, and architecture critic Frances Anderton if and how this city can reshape itself for a better future.

Greg started his entertainment career in bands and ended up playing Danny Zuko on Broadway in Grease. From there he went on to star in the popular TV series, B.J. and the Bear and My Two Dads, as well as co-starring and recurring on shows such as General Hospital, Pacific Palisades, Melrose Place, TekWar, and P.S.I. Luv U. He has also guest starred and been seen on countless television programs and movies. He also recently recorded an album with London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Gregg Champion's father was killed in a head-on collision with another drunk driver when Gregg was 4. He grew up angry, filled that with alcohol and attention, and spent his 20s collecting DUIs, assaults, a marijuana trafficking operation out of a van, and two arrests in the same 24-hour stretch at Mardi Gras. He got sober at 25, went back and finished his ASU degree sober with a 4.0, sits on the Arizona State Alumni Leadership Council, taught entrepreneurship at USC, and is 30+ years sober.This episode covers the childhood trauma he carried alone for decades. The night at he woke up in a jail cell, found a Catholic church in the phone book, and sat down in front of a priest named Father Bill — who turned out to be his stepfather's sponsor — and who sent him to his first meeting. He built Startup Recovery and Wellness over nine years and three sober living homes in the Pacific Palisades. In that same stretch he also lost his mom to Alzheimer's, his sister to suicide, went bankrupt in 2008, and watched the January 7, 2025 fires burn all three houses to the ground. He's still standing.Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsGo to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (8.4) Podcast Description: He's not joining for politics. He's joining for the turkey.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (8.4) Seven months of ash, and now a ribbon cutting. ✂️Palisades Village is coming back. Rick Caruso's $100 million interior rebuild — plus environmental cleanup and a full renovation after the January 2025 Palisades Fire — wraps with an official reopening Saturday, August 15. Seventy percent of the businesses are returning, restaurants included. For a neighborhood that lost so much, this one actually feels like a milestone.

En el noroeste de Estados Unidos, en la ciudad de Spokane, tres incendios forestales destruyeron cientos de edificios, devastaron más de 3000 hectáreas y forzaron a 65.000 personas a abandonar sus hogares. El Gobierno ha desplegado varios albergues para los desplazados, pero Jesús Torres, director de Latinos en Spokane, explica que las minorías tienen miedo de acudir por miedo a posibles redadas de ICE. El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, declaró el estado de emergencia en el estado de Washington para responder a los incendios. Por el momento, los bomberos aún no han controlado las llamas que llegaron hasta la zona urbana. El incendio forestal, que ha arrasado al menos 700 edificios en la ciudad de Spokane en el noroeste de EE. UU., es similar al que devoró Pacific Palisades en Los Ángeles el año pasado. Las altas temperaturas y el viento llevaron las llamas desde una vegetación seca hasta la zona urbana, en este caso en tres puntos de la periferia de la segunda ciudad más grande del estado de Washington. Cerca de 65.000 personas fueron evacuadas en un incendio inusual, comenta Betsy Robertson, portavoz de la Cruz Roja en la ciudad: "El incendio llegó a tan solo 9 kilómetros de la oficina de la Cruz Roja donde me encuentro actualmente", comenta la portavoz de Cruz Roja. Esta añade que muchas casas fueron destruidas y miles de familias evacuadas. "Las organizaciones latinas nos hemos juntado para ayudar todo lo que se pueda, porque cuando suceden estas cosas, la población latina, desafortunadamente, es una de las últimas en recibir ayuda". - Jesús Torres, director de Latinos en Spokane "Tenemos incendios forestales cada año en el estado de Washington, pero es inusual que las llamas lleguen a la zona urbana. Lo que pasó en Spokane es bastante único: tres incendios distintos empezaron en un día de condiciones meteorológicas muy peligrosas", resalta Robertson. Y mientras cientos de personas fueron evacuadas hacia refugios temporales, en el centro de convenciones de Spokane, otros, como los latinos, se organizan de otra manera, por temor a las redadas de la policía migratoria. Así lo afirma Jesús Torres, director de Latinos en Spokane, una organización comunitaria. Leer tambiénEl mayor incendio forestal del año en California arrasa más de 28.300 hectáreas Torres cuenta que la calidad del aire, lleno de ceniza, dificulta la respiración: "La mayoría de gente anda con mascarilla y, desafortunadamente, mucha gente ha tenido que irse a los albergues de emergencia". "Las organizaciones latinas nos hemos juntado para ayudar todo lo que se pueda, porque cuando suceden estas cosas, la población latina desafortunadamente es una de las últimas en recibir ayuda", dice el director de Latinos en Spokane. Este añade: "Las comunidades minoritarias muchas veces son olvidadas o no recurrimos a esa ayuda por el temor que tiene mucha gente de cómo ha estado la situación aquí en Estados Unidos con la migración por culpa de las redadas de ICE, así que la gente prefiere venir a las organizaciones donde se sienten bienvenidos, donde se sienten a gusto con gente que es como ellos, en vez de ir a los servicios gubernamentales". En Spokane, las autoridades detuvieron a un hombre de 37 años. Se le acusa de haber causado uno de los tres incendios forestales que rodean la ciudad.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore used the 4th of July to redefine patriotism as "nationalism" and accuse the right of banning books and rewriting history — from the oldest statehouse in America. Then Spencer Pratt answered from the burned rubble of the Pacific Palisades with the speech the entire right is now sharing: a home-and-memory metaphor explaining why communists must erase your history first. Larry O'Connor breaks down Wes Moore's hypocrisy and why Spencer Pratt just became one of the best communicators on the right.

Most parents don't expect their kid to ask them that question.Gregg Champion is not most parents but someone who's spent years helping people rebuild their lives through recovery—until the 2025 Pacific Palisades fires destroyed both his home and business and he found himself needing literal help rebuilding his own life.In this episode, Gregg talks about loss, grief, resilience and the uncomfortable reality that recovery doesn't make anyone exempt from life's hardest moments. We also get into why he believes vaping and gambling are quietly becoming two of the biggest addiction threats facing families today.It's a conversation about rebuilding when everything falls apart—and why recovery is about a lot more than not picking up a drink. (It's also about Gregg charming Anna's mom.)

In the western United States and Canada, this time of year is the beginning of peak wildfire season, a reality that's become impossible to ignore. In light of this, we're re-releasing my conversation with energy and climate policy expert Michael Wara on the future of wildfire management. Michael walks us through how we got here, why fires are burning bigger and more frequently, and what a smarter, more proactive approach to managing our landscapes might look like. Whether you're in a fire-prone region or simply paying attention to the changing climate around you, this one is well worth another listen. Have a question for Russ?

Dr. Eleanor Haspel-Portner doesn't do small talk. Fifty-one years in private practice. Forty-five thousand statistical cases. A PhD from Chicago that taught her the map is not the territory — especially when the territory is the human soul. She sat across from me and told me about the voice. 1974. Transcendental Meditation. A voice in her head that said: Go to Osho's ashram. She laughed at it. Called it woo-woo. She'd already seen enough fake gurus in her Jungian training — professors waxing poetic about numinous experiences who'd never had a single one. "Have you ever had one?" she asked them. Silence. That told her everything. But the voice persisted. She went to India. Alone. Single woman, 1978. A client handed her Osho's book at the gate — same birthday. Coincidence? She doesn't believe in them. She took sannyas. Got a new name: Madhava Asangaro. Divine inconsistency. Osho nailed her in one look. Then she met Marvin. Sitting next to her at a lecture. Same neighborhood in Pacific Palisades. Same circle of healers. Never met. He'd walked away from a chief-of-medicine gig because he couldn't stomach herd medicine. She set a boundary at dinner — he played games with the check, she walked. He chased her. Forty-eight years later, still chasing. Here's where it gets sharp. Ra Uru Hu, founder of Human Design, asked her to validate his system. She ran thirty thousand cases through the grinder. The result? "It's a faulty system. Incomplete. Erroneous. Disempowers people." Five types, not four. Projectors aren't here to wait for recognition — they're here to recognize themselves first. That's the difference between a cage and a compass. She built Noble Energy Maps instead. Eight charts. Starts three months before birth. The only system that treats the prenatal window as sacred architecture. Four worlds — physical, emotional, mental, spiritual — mapped from Kabbalah, I Ching, astrology, and the Tree of Life. Psychology has no language for soul, she says. Dreams are symbolic. The waking mind is sensory. Soul speaks in questions with no visual cues: What do you know now? What do you want? When? Her prescription is brutally simple: morning time with yourself. Gratitude journal with "because" statements — science backs it, cortisol drops, healing accelerates. If you won't give yourself time, why should anyone else? This episode isn't about feel-good spirituality. It's about the architecture of a life that works. The woman who walked into darkness and found light. The psychologist who tested the map against the territory and built a better one. Listen if you're done with borrowed wisdom. Listen if you want the blueprint.   Learn more today:  https://nobleenergywellness.com/  

At least 188 people have died and more than 1,500 are injured after a devastating pair of earthquakes struck Venezuela on Wednesday, according to the country's National Assembly president. Anderson speaks to César Jiménez, a resident of Caracas who survived the earthquakes, along with his family and pet dog. He also works with the aid group Project Hope in Venezuela and toured some of the hardest-hit areas today. Plus, a year-and-a-half after fire devastated the Los Angeles neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, jurors have deadlocked on charges against the alleged arsonist.

Jasveen Sangha was seated at the breakfast table the morning of October 29th, 2023, when a headline flashed across the TV that would turn her glamorous world of privilege upside-down, Former “Friends” star Matthew Perry found dead at his Pacific Palisades home.  A lump formed in her throat. Only days before she'd supplied someone connected to the actor 25 vials of liquid ketamine, enough to comatose an African elephant. She typed in a quick Google search: “Can ketamine be blamed for causing death?” Any hope she had that the story would simply fade away was quickly dashed. Despite his well-publicized struggle with drugs and alcohol, Perry, 54, was still worth millions and a legion of “Friends” fans demanded to know who was responsible for giving “Chandler” his fatal dose. In the months that followed, police arrested five individuals for having a hand in Perry's tragic demise. It wasn't a set of the usual suspects. Two physicians, a rehab counselor, the actor's live-in assistant, and an international, jet-setting socialite authorities dubbed “The Ketamine Queen” were among those arrested in connection with Perry's death.

**It's Time to Take the Garbage Out***NAW-T-BOY (The Official Spencer Pratt for Mayor Club Remix)* Nobody asked for this. 🤷 And that's exactly why it had to happen. When [Spencer Pratt](https://mayorpratt.com/) - yes, *that* Spencer Pratt - watched his Pacific Palisades home burn to the ground in 2025 while City Hall offered thoughts, prayers, and another committee meeting, something snapped. The reality TV villain became the most unlikely political force in Los Angeles history. And when he started calling Mayor Karen Bass "Karen *Basura*" - that's Spanish for garbage, in case you missed it - NAW-T-BOY had only one possible response. 🗑️ A club banger. Obviously. **"It's Time to Take the Garbage Out"** is equal parts campaign rally, dancefloor destruction, and unhinged civic commentary. The kind of track that makes you throw your hands up whether you're voting for the guy or not, because the beat doesn't care about your party affiliation. 🙌 The title isn't subtle. It was never meant to be. Trash on the streets of [Lost Angeles](https://spencerpratt.substack.com/p/lost-angeles). Trash in the budget. Trash in the back-room contracts. Karen *Basura* herself. When the city smells like a dumpster fire - literally and politically - somebody's gotta take out the garbage. Why not do it to a filthy house groove? 🏙️ NAW-T-BOY leans all the way in - dropping four-on-the-floor thunder under chants that sound equal parts protest march and after-hours warehouse rave. The drop hits like a wrecking ball through City Hall. The hook is running for office whether you voted for it or not. This one lives rent-free in your head, just like the Homeless Industrial Complex lives rent-free in the city budget. 💸 Every city gets the mayor it deserves. Every mayoral campaign deserves a club banger. 🎧 *"This is not a campaign. It's a mission."...and this is not a remix. It's a movement.* --- #TakeTheGarbageOut #NAWTBOY #SpencerPrattForMayor #KarenBasura #LosAngeles #LAMayor2026 #PrattForMayor #ClubBanger #HouseMusic #PoliticalRemix #LostAngeles #SaveLA #DanceFloor #ClubBangers #HouseHeads #2026Banger #LAMayorsRace #NewMusicMonday #BeatThePoliticians #CameraReadyLA #PrattForMayor2026 #GarbageOut #DJLife #NAWTBOYRemix #ElectionBanger

STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JBS, FEATURING JEFF BLISS, 5-22-26.1942-43. TOJO MOCKED.The "Pacific Watch" transcript highlights a pivotal moment for California, characterized by early-season environmental disasters, contentious political shifts, and massive infrastructure challenges.The California wildfire season has arrived with alarming speed. A significant blaze in Hemet (Riverside County) recently threatened retirement communities, with flames cresting hills directly behind residential properties. Firefighters utilized orange fire retardant to coat vegetation and slow the fire's progress, a tactic that creates a stark visual contrast against the green hillsides. Additionally, a fire on Santa Rosa Island, reportedly ignited by a stranded boater's flare gun, has consumed nearly 20,000 acres. These events occur amidst discussions of a "Super El Niño," which experts warn could create a "one-two punch": drying out the state to fuel fires and then bringing massive storms that cause mudslides and coastal erosion.The June 2nd jungle primary is the central focus of California politics. In the Los Angeles mayoral race, incumbent Karen Bass faces a surprisingly strong challenge from actor Spencer Pratt. Pratt, who entered politics after his home burned down in the Pacific Palisades fire, has become a vessel for a "protest vote" against the city's perceived disorder. While Bass maintains institutional support from unions and identity politics, Pratt has gained traction through viral, high-quality campaign ads focusing on safety, affordability, and the failure of city hall to rebuild after disasters. A controversial endorsement from Donald Trump has complicated the race, as Bass's camp uses it to label Pratt a "MAGA" candidate, a move designed to alienate West LA voters.In the race for governor, the field is dominated by Steve Hilton, a former Fox News commentator, and Xavier Becerra, the current HHS Secretary. Hilton is currently leading, but Becerra—a late entry backed by the Democratic "machine"—is gaining momentum due to his name recognition and appeal to Latino and union voters. Despite his national profile and potential presidential ambitions, Gavin Newsom faces criticism regarding the state's homeless crisis and the ballooning costs of the high-speed rail project, which has seen estimates jump from $30 billion to potentially over $400 billion.The "homeless industrial complex" is a major theme, with billions of dollars allegedly missing or misspent by non-governmental organizations. In Los Angeles, over half of the homeless population is reportedly from outside the city, drawn by mild weather and available services. The transcript also describes a darker side to the crisis, where criminal cartels allegedly charge homeless individuals rent to live in tents or RVs on the streets.Despite these troubles, there is economic expansion in Orange County with the "Disney Forward" project. This initiative likely involves a significant expansion of the Anaheim park system, potentially adding a "third park" or new themed lands like Toy Story Land to drive attendance and merchandise sales. These developments stand in sharp contrast to the era of 1955, when gas cost 29 cents and traffic on the I-5 freeway was virtually non-existent.

Spencer Pratt is firing back after TMZ reported that the Los Angeles mayoral candidate was staying at Hotel Bel-Air while his campaign messaging featured an Airstream trailer at the site of his burned Pacific Palisades home. But what looked like a simple “gotcha” story may have exposed something much bigger: the same media playbook used against political outsiders whenever the establishment feels threatened.In this video, we break down the TMZ controversy, Spencer Pratt's response, the trailer-versus-hotel narrative, the deeper Los Angeles political crisis, and why this story is resonating with voters who feel abandoned by city leadership. Pratt says he does not have a permanent home after losing his house in the Palisades fire, and he pushed back hard against claims that he misled voters.This is not just about Spencer Pratt. This is about Los Angeles, failed leadership, homelessness, safety, public disorder, media framing, and the growing backlash from hardworking residents who are tired of being told to accept decline as normal.Is this a legitimate campaign issue, or a desperate smear campaign against an outsider candidate gaining momentum?Watch the full breakdown and decide for yourself.For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez✅ Reach out to me: https://bio.site/professornez✅ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/✅ Check out our Official Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@professornezclips▶ Support the Channel and Buy us a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/professornezEducational Commentary & Original AnalysisThis channel presents educational, lecture-style analysis created by a university professor and educator.

“All the warnings were there. It was almost a carbon copy — the same warnings that were ignored before Paradise, ignored again before the Palisades. And nobody was held accountable.” — Jonathan Vigliotti On January 7, 2025, the Palisades Fire ignited in Los Angeles. Over the first few hours of the fire, the second-largest city in America had no firefighters on the front lines and no coordinated evacuation. Residents fought the flames with garden hoses. “Where are the firefighters?” somebody, running from the fire, screamed into a live television shot. Where, indeed, were Los Angeles firefighters? Jonathan Vigliotti — CBS national correspondent, Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Award winner — was there from the beginning. His new book, Torched: How a City Was Left to Burn and the Olympic Rush to Rebuild Los Angeles, is the searing firsthand account of the tragic failure of the Los Angeles authorities to respond to the fire. The story Vigliotti tells is not new. In some ways, it is a carbon copy of the 2018 Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise in Northern California. First as tragedy then as farce: inadequate evacuation routes, uncleared fuel loads, officials who failed to act were repeated almost exactly in Pacific Palisades and Altadena. More than eighty people died in Paradise and more than thirty in the LA fires. The economic damage in LA will likely make it the costliest natural disaster in US history. And when the LA mayor and the Californian governor appeared in the first press conference after the fires broke out, Vigliotti reports, all Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom were talking about was the 2028 Olympics. The political reckoning has not happened, Vigliotti warns. Bass is still mayor and Newsom is a Presidential frontrunner for 2028. California's current governor's race is dominated by homelessness and crime. Wildfire — the existential threat to the state, the one where more than $2 billion in taxpayer money was pumped into agencies over several years with more than half a billion unaccounted for — is barely mentioned. The fires will be back, Vigliotti warns. Maybe this year for the World Cup, maybe in 2028 for the Olympics. So where are the firefighters? Five Takeaways •       Where Are the Firefighters? The Central Question: Vigliotti was on scene from the first moments of the Palisades Fire. What struck him was not the scale of the flames — he'd seen wildfires before — but the absence of any official response. No firefighters at ground zero. No coordinated evacuation. The traffic gridlock that formed within an hour of ignition blocked fire trucks from getting through. Residents fought embers with garden hoses. A man running from the hillside screamed into Vigliotti's live shot: “Where are the firefighters?” That question became the question of the disaster — and the book. •       A Carbon Copy of Paradise: The 2018 Camp Fire destroyed the Northern California town of Paradise. More than eighty people died. Before it happened: weeks and months of warnings about inadequate evacuation routes, uncleared fuel loads, and officials who failed to act. The same warnings, in almost identical form, were issued for Pacific Palisades and Altadena before January 7, 2025. They were ignored in the same way. The LA fires killed more than thirty people and will likely be the costliest natural disaster in US history. Nobody has been held accountable. Nobody has been fired. •       The Olympics Come First: Vigliotti's most damning reporting: in the first press conference after the Palisades Fire broke out, Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom were already talking about the 2028 Olympic Games and Los Angeles's ability to rebuild in time. The fires were still burning. The framing was already: how do we make this a story of resilience and recovery? Vigliotti's counter: the story is not resilience. It is accountability. The question is not whether Los Angeles can rebuild. It is whether it can avoid the same disaster happening again. •       $2 Billion, Half a Billion Unaccounted For: California's taxes are already among the highest in the country. More than $2 billion in taxpayer money was pumped into homeless-related agencies over several years. More than half a billion was unaccounted for. And the agencies responsible for wildfire prevention and emergency management are chronically underfunded. Vigliotti's argument: it is not that Californians need to pay more taxes. It is that the taxes they pay need to go to the right agencies. The budget for fighting climate change and protecting communities from fire is dwarfed by the budget for crime. Fire kills more people. •       The Political Reckoning That Hasn't Happened: California's governor's race, in the wake of the deadliest and costliest fire season in recent memory, is dominated by homelessness and crime. Wildfire — the existential threat to the state — is barely mentioned. Nobody in the political class, Vigliotti reports, has come to him asking for advice or analysis. He is not holding his breath. His warning: this summer, and every summer, the fire will come back. The conditions that created the Palisades disaster have not been remedied. Los Angeles is not ready. About the Guest Jonathan Vigliotti is a CBS News national correspondent and Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Award winner.

In January 2025, the Palisades Fire became one of the most destructive wildfires in California history, burning homes, neighborhoods, schools, businesses and places of worship.  Last month, the Pacific Palisades meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reopened in Southern California after more than a year of extensive renovation because of the fire. On this episode of the Church News podcast, Pacific Palisades Ward Bishop Taylor Mammen joins Church News reporter Mary Richards to share more of the recovery process and what it is like to meet again “in a beloved, familiar place where many sacred experiences have taken place.”

“Now you know why they call me Dirty Harry, every dirty job that comes along.”Just as audiences didn't know how much they needed Dirty Harry until he showed up on a movie screen in 1971, residents of Los Angeles had no idea how much they needed Spencer Pratt until they saw him face off against two of the leading candidates for Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass and Nithya Raman.Bass and Raman couldn't even answer simple questions, like whether illegal immigrants should be able to vote or whether there should be homeless encampments outside elementary schools. And every time the camera cut to Pratt, his reaction was always the same: “ You have got to be kidding me.”He spoke truths no one in the Democratic Party ever could or would because they don't have to. They are never asked hard questions they don't already have answers to, and they are never challenged as directly as they were by Spencer Pratt.They're also protected by the legacy media, by Hollywood, by late-night comedy. As long as they properly virtue signal and obey the rules of Woketopia, no one ever holds them accountable for the problems in a city overrun by crime, drugs, and homelessness. Until now.Pratt wiped up the floor with Bass and Raman, so much so that they have now dropped out of a debate by the League of Women Voters that would have been held on May 13th. Now, it's been canceled because someone, somewhere, told them they'd do better if they employed the Biden basement strategy: stay out of sight and let the system win the election. The Democrats and Hollywood have the same problem. They can't tell the truth. Just as in 1971, when Dirty Harry sliced through the pretense like a hot knife through ice cream, so too has Spencer Pratt gotten our attention with his innovative campaign and simple, common-sense messaging, in an entertaining, imaginative way. True, AI might be the beginning of the end, but the way Pratt uses it has expanded the possibilities. With the help of Charles Curran, whose studio is responsible for many of these, we can now see how useful AI can be for creating an effective, viral campaign ad without the heavy lift of an entire production company and millions of dollars in campaign funds. This is AI at a grassroots level, but in its own way, it's also artful commentary, the kind we never see aimed at the Left.AI, now in Pratt's hands, poses an unpredictable threat to the opposition, who will figure it out soon enough. It is also a threat to Hollywood for the same reasons. It doesn't have to be politically correct or rely on partisan celebrities to approve of the messaging. AI also cuts through the noise, like Dirty Harry, like Spencer Pratt, because it represents freedom at a time of extremely oppressive micro-managing over all culture, and film especially.Dirty Harry was politically incorrect, but it told the truth at a time when most people were too afraid to talk about the soft-on-crime policies in the wake of the counterculture revolution. Too many rapes and serial killers on the rise, too many hippies, the Zodiac killer, the Manson murders - crime was everywhere, yet the culture of the time wasn't exactly tuned in. If critics in the 1970s thought Dirty Harry was fascist, as Pauline Kael did, ordinary Americans - Nixon's Silent Majority - felt seen.And now, residents of Los Angeles, many of them too poor to afford homes in the gated communities of the rich and famous who fund Mayor Karen Bass, might feel seen in the passionate messaging of Spencer Pratt. His voice is urgent in a time of complacency. He sees the problems the Left ignores. He speaks the truth when everyone else parrots the comforting lies. Los Angeles has been neglected for far too long, with the wildfires that burned down Pratt's home becoming the tipping point. It was time for someone to rise up and say enough is enough. They don't know how to deal with a shooting star like Pratt. When the Democrats try to dismiss him as a fame-hungry reality star, he hits them with something moving and undeniable. It's true that Pratt was the enfant terrible of a mid-aughts reality show called The Hills. Not exactly the kind of leader people who shop at Erewon after doing hot yoga on La Brea have in mind for a leader. But his sincerity shines through. This is personal, and we can feel it. He says Bass has the unions and the money, but he has the moms. He has Democrats and Conservatives backing him. They call him MAGA, but he really isn't. He is the first politician who is genuinely attempting to run a non-partisan campaign and actually reach across the aisle, which is exactly the hero America needs right now, not just in LA, but everywhere. It's hard not to be won over by Spencer Pratt because he is so sincere. All of that manic bluster from the old days of The Hills has clearly been transformed by the trauma of his house burning down in a fire that the city should have been more prepared for, to put it mildly. He is campaigning like he means it, projecting the kind of urgency many Los Angeles residents feel every day as they watch their government do nothing to change things. Why has no one ever even bothered asking these questions? Because they are too afraid. The problems in LA have been ignored for far too long. The street takeovers that terrorize the working-class parts of the city.Random attacks of violence:Crime and drugs in parks that should be safe for families. And of course, the 70,000+ homeless population, only a small percentage of which choose to be sheltered. Whether you pay money or give food or try to help the people on the street, it almost always comes back to the same hard truth: they are mostly wild things of the street who do not want to follow the rules of shelters, either because they don't allow pets or they don't allow drugs and alcohol, or they can't be inside anywhere without burning the place down. And there are so many rich people in LA willing to give them money. Why would they give it up? And this you are not even allowed to think or say, lest you be condemned as heartless.There are decent people in LA, people I know, who have spent their lives devoted to trying to help. They want the story to be that many of them can't afford to live in a country run by billionaires. But the truth is harder to face. The truth is that many of them should not be on the streets because they're a harm to themselves or to others. The truth is that many of them are extremely mentally ill or lifelong drug addicts.It's so bad now that reports have emerged that addicts are testing dogs to see if the drugs are safe. The dogs are chained. The dogs are fighting. The dogs are starving. For every dog that's well taken care of, there are far more that are being horrifically abused, and Spencer Pratt cares enough to talk about it. A Tale of Two CitiesLos Angeles is two cities. In one, the wealthy make movies and drive through their protected, gated parking lots, then retreat to their homes in gated communities in the hills. Sunset Boulevard is a showcase for that mask of extreme wealth, like Malibu, Beverly Hills, and the Platinum Triangle.Spencer Pratt's home was in the wealthy enclave of the Pacific Palisades, which burned to rubble during the wildfires. By all rights, he should be protecting the wealthy, who were his neighbors. He's a guy who went to Crossroads, after all, the school where celebrities send their kids. That isn't what he's doing. He's speaking now for the everyday resident of the city, whether rich or poor. He wants to clean up the streets. He wants to fix what's broken. He wants the streets, parks, and schools to be safe for kids and families, and he wants to save the dogs. Do we hear any of the Democrats talking about this?In 2009, a 17-year-old named Lily Burk drove to downtown LA to run an errand for her mother and to practice her driving. She attended one of those expensive private schools in North Hollywood and had a promising future. She was abducted by a registered sex offender with a rap sheet who'd left a treatment facility that day. He demanded that she get him money from the ATM, but she only had a credit card. He smashed her face against the dashboard and slit her throat. Half an hour later, he was drinking beer and smoking crack on Skid Row before the police even found Burk's body.I remember that story. I remember how awkward it was to talk about because the perp was black and Burk was white. But for me, it was a wakeup call, and I instilled in my daughter the message: do not be a guilty liberal. Protect yourself. Be afraid, no matter what. But it was a secret that passed between us, one we could never say out loud. That is what it is like to live as a progressive in LA. The problem of crime and homelessness in LA is like the problem of illegal immigration. No one talks about those who are murdered, but that is the baseline of what American citizens deserve. These are crimes that could have been prevented if only we could tell the truth and our politicians had listened. Dirty Harry was a hit. Audiences were hungry for his brand of justice, where the bad guys get what's coming to them because Harry Callahan cuts through the bureaucracy and enacts his own brand of justice. America, then as now, was shifting away from the wild days of the hippie revolution and toward a more secure, safer America by 1980, with Ronald Reagan. Dirty Harry was only the beginning. Spencer Pratt might not win. LA is as blue as it gets. I don't live there anymore. I wish I did, just so I could vote for him. But in a way, it doesn't really change what his presence in politics has meant to so many of us - especially those of us in California who know the game and have gotten so sick of playing it. We need more heroes who can speak the truth. Spencer Pratt has arrived just in time. This is a public episode.

Republican mayoral challenger Spencer Pratt has LA Mayor Karen Bass on her heels, now canceling a mayoral event this week where she would have taken questions alongside Pratt. Bass's communist sympathizing is again coming out into the light as Bass tells CNN that climate change caused the Pacific Palisades firestorm, not a triggered leftist nutjob accused arsonist named Jonathan Rinderknect. The GOP is feeling the vibration of a deep red redistricting effort across the south as democrat election attorney Marc Elias gets mad that America isn't buying into racism anymore.

Meghan's guest is Spencer Pratt, candidate for Los Angeles mayor. Yes, that Spencer Pratt — the producer-crafted villain from The Hills who later blew a fortune on moldavite crystals and Birkin bags before settling into a quieter life raising a family in Pacific Palisades. That house burned down in the Palisades Fire in January 2025, and what followed was a political awakening that has put him in second place in the June 2 primary. Meghan sat down with him at his burned lot to talk about the fires, the homelessness crisis, the billions in homeless services funding that a federal audit couldn't account for, animal abuse on Skid Row, and why he thinks an outsider with no political debts is the only person who can fix a city that's been broken for decades. This version includes a short introduction. For the full ten-minute introduction with additional context, find the Substack version at theunspeakablepodcast.com.

Corruption, corruption, and more corruption. That's what crooked Leftist administrations gave us. I'm including any that fit, regardless of political persuasion. The Bush administration was corrupt. In many ways, they built the blueprint exploited by Obama.The crisis of the World Trade Center towers is what led to massive budgets and lack of freedoms.Our government started actively spying on us. Imagine how much you can control a person when you know literally everything about them?Pick winners and losers. And how do you think winners are picked in corrupt governments. Do you nice guys and gals win? Or do the most cutthroat and ruthless win?The abuse we've taken as citizens should be put in the Smithsonian. And not for its sheer volume, but for how we missed it, and allowed it. In no country has a group of people believed themselves to be so free, only to learn how little freedom we truly have.Free people would not tolerate the fraud that is happening in this country. We pay taxes so other people can steal it?In LA they likely knew the fire was coming.Leaked phone call from January 4, 2025 (3 days before the devastating Palisades Fire)The call is between Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and John Alle, a property manager and whistleblower in the Pacific Palisades, Westlake and MacArthur Park areasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
