Speaker 1: Some might label us right wing.
Speaker 2: We say clip our wings and just call us right.
Speaker 1: It's the John Phillip Show and very happy Thursday to
Speaker 1: you at twelve oh Chevin. In the West, it's the
Speaker 1: Gina Phillips Show, Mister Randy Wings in Culver City.

Speaker 3: KABC in southern California and eight ten KSFO in the
Speaker 3: Bay and we're also broadcasting live on video. You can
Speaker 3: watch us every single day, react to the videos along

Speaker 3: and viewers to this show every single day because you're
Speaker 3: hitting that like button.
Speaker 2: So thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, you want to play a game before we
Speaker 1: get started with the topic, Randy I would love that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read you a quote and you have to
Speaker 1: tell me who this individual is referring to. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: This is from Politico this morning and they did an
Speaker 1: interview with California Assembly Speaker Robert Revis. Here is what
Speaker 1: he had to say about Javier Bakaia quote. I think
Speaker 1: one quality about Javier Bakaia is he doesn't wake up
Speaker 1: every morning thinking how he can make headlines or be
Speaker 1: on the front page of our newspapers.
Speaker 2: End quote.
Speaker 3: That sounds like a shot across the bow from Reavus
Speaker 3: to Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought, too, scrub it.
Speaker 3: So the best thing that you can say about Bessera
Speaker 3: is that he's not chasing clout.
Speaker 1: I think the only times he pays attention to the
Speaker 1: television is when there's a toothpaste commercial from the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 3: That whole idea that he's put out there that we're
Speaker 3: going to give you the free power hour, it's going
Speaker 3: off like a lead balloon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about free power for twenty four hours? At
Speaker 1: least you can do something with that. Can you even
Speaker 1: cool your house in an hour?
Speaker 3: It is a policy that screams of I didn't do
Speaker 3: any research when I came up with this.
Speaker 1: Well, we know he's not big on reading. Eight hundred
Speaker 1: two two two five two two two is a telephone
Speaker 1: number one eight hundred two two two five two two two. Well,
Speaker 1: the top story today is the President Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: looking for a new White House Press secretary. That is
Speaker 1: a job. That's a very difficult job where you have
Speaker 1: a Washington Press peppering you with questions trying to play
Speaker 1: gotcha twenty four to seven. You need someone who can
Speaker 1: think on their feet and is quick with their tongue.
Speaker 1: One of the individuals who made the short list, according
Speaker 1: to one story in the California Post, is former candidate
Speaker 1: for Los Angeles mayor Spencer Pratt.
Speaker 3: Spencer Pratt apparently is in the running and is being
Speaker 3: considered to become the next White House Press secretary. How
Speaker 3: long would his tour of duty be. Would he be
Speaker 3: there for two and a half years, would he be
Speaker 3: there for a scaramoci or two?
Speaker 2: Who knows?
Speaker 1: So we don't have an official list. Obviously. It's not
Speaker 1: like when you're looking at the NBA playoffs, you know
Speaker 1: which teams are going to the playoffs and which teams aren't.
Speaker 1: So this is yet another instance where we rely on
Speaker 1: the betting markets to try to tell us who is
Speaker 1: in the running. Are you ready for the list?
Speaker 2: I'm ready?
Speaker 1: Okay, this is according to bet online dot ag.
Speaker 2: That sounds lodhit. That sounds so legit.
Speaker 1: Okay, Am I going to get a virus by going
Speaker 1: to that website?
Speaker 3: Well we will know if all of a sudden, Johnny's
Speaker 3: feed starts displaying ransomware ads.
Speaker 1: Oh worried, It's too late. Now I should have done
Speaker 1: this on somebody else's computer.
Speaker 2: I can't do it here.
Speaker 3: If I do it here, the whole system might go down,
Speaker 3: and the radio station may go off the air, and
Speaker 3: we'll end up like Sassoon City.
Speaker 1: Whenever I was researching a topic back of the old
Speaker 1: days and I had to look at something questionable, I
Speaker 1: always moved over to Peter Tilden's computer to do it.
Speaker 1: But when you work from home, I guess I could
Speaker 1: tell my neighbor I need to borrow a cup of
Speaker 1: sugar and then go bring up betonline dot ag.
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and just do it. Tell us what
Speaker 3: the odds are. Who is on the apparent short list
Speaker 3: for Press Secretary of these United States? On betonline dot ag,
Speaker 3: which I can't believe they're not paying us for the
Speaker 3: amount of times we've said that website. Right now, maybe
Speaker 3: that'll be the title sponsor.
Speaker 1: All right. So the first name on the list is
Speaker 1: Alina Hababa. She's the president's lawyer. If I'm not mistaken, I.
Speaker 2: Think it's just Haba. What did I call her? Hababa?
Speaker 1: Oh? God, you are having a week with names. I
Speaker 1: turned her into a clerk at seven to eleven. That
Speaker 1: cashier is no dummy?
Speaker 2: Is the cashier's dummy?
Speaker 1: Okay? Anna Kelly? Is it four to one? Me doing
Speaker 1: this without my glasses? Man, this is a drunk band
Speaker 1: driving down an icy road. Number three is Jen Pellegrino.
Speaker 1: She's at six to one. Roma Haravi is at seven
Speaker 1: to one. Is it wrong that I haven't heard of
Speaker 1: any of these people? The only one I've heard of
Speaker 1: is Alena Haba, and I called her by the wrong name,
Speaker 1: Alena Hababa. He got Steve Chung and I follow him
Speaker 1: on Twitter. He was the guy that came from the Mma.
Speaker 1: He's at ten to one. Oh, he'll never be him.
Speaker 1: Trump thinks he's too fat to be in front of
Speaker 1: the camera every day. Have you ever seen a picture
Speaker 1: of the back of his head. It looks like a sharpay.
Speaker 1: And then you have Emerald Robinson at ten to one,
Speaker 1: Chanelle Rion at ten to one, Scott Jennings, oh, my
Speaker 1: former co worker over at CNN, he's at sixteen to one.
Speaker 3: Oh, that would be a pay cut. He's making a
Speaker 3: ton of money off of CNN and that Salem show.
Speaker 2: He's not going to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not going over there. He's going to fight
Speaker 1: on Abby Phillips show every night and laugh all the
Speaker 1: way to the bank. Natalie Harp is at sixteen to one.
Speaker 1: Jason Miller I used to work with him over at CNN,
Speaker 1: He's at sixteen to one. Scotti Nel Hughes, good friend
Speaker 1: of the show, who's going to be odd later today.
Speaker 1: She's at twenty two to one. Lara Trump is at
Speaker 1: thirty three to one, Carrie Lake is at thirty three
Speaker 1: to one, and our boy Spencer Pratt He's at fifty
Speaker 1: to one. And then below him is Erica Kirk at
Speaker 1: sixty six to one, and Tucker Carlson it one hundred
Speaker 1: to one.
Speaker 3: Well, that one's not happening if it's Carrie Lake, the
Speaker 3: former talk show host and candidate for everything in Arizona
Speaker 3: and she's in the briefing room. Are they going to
Speaker 3: put vaseline on the lens?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's kind of her move. Every single one of her
Speaker 3: campaign videos was shot like it was a nineteen seventy soap.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Spencer Pratt is in the running and is
Speaker 3: on the short list, which can mean a lot. It
Speaker 3: could also mean nothing. At one point, I was on
Speaker 3: the short list to replace Ken Champeau.
Speaker 2: Oh and that's right.
Speaker 3: That helped me get a very nice contract here, even
Speaker 3: though I think literally my name was floated once and
Speaker 3: that was enough. At one point I was being considered
Speaker 3: to be the new board up for Tomkis. And by
Speaker 3: being considered, I mean my buddy Dino mentioned my name
Speaker 3: once and then they said, hell no, I would have
Speaker 3: loved that job.
Speaker 1: Oh you could press that blow up sounder all the time.
Speaker 2: Here you go, Tommy.
Speaker 1: All right, So this is the way I see it.
Speaker 1: At what was it fifty to one? I think it's
Speaker 1: unlikely that he'll be the next Press secretary, but I
Speaker 1: think he would do a bang up job.
Speaker 3: He is a very effective communicator, and unlike I would
Speaker 3: imagine the vast majority of people on that list who
Speaker 3: probably a lot of them have cable news experience. Spencer
Speaker 3: Pratt not only had the background in reality TV and
Speaker 3: the media, but he understands social media and the new
Speaker 3: media better than most people that are out there.
Speaker 1: And you look at his options, assuming he wants to
Speaker 1: stay involved in politics, which he says that he does,
Speaker 1: his options in California are somewhat limited in the sense
Speaker 1: that he's not making the November ballot. That's said and done,
Speaker 1: it's going to be Nitthia Rahman versus Karen Bass. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a choice between worse and worser.
Speaker 3: Well, the idea now is elect the one that's the
Speaker 3: most likely to get recalled or indicted, and then the
Speaker 3: hope will get prod elected in the recall vote.
Speaker 1: But if someone gets kicked out, they get impeached, or
Speaker 1: they resign, doesn't the council president become mereor until the
Speaker 1: term is up.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good point. We could have mayor unices.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you can put your chips on
Speaker 1: someone going to prison. But he can't run as a
Speaker 1: write in candidate. I know that gets suggested all the
Speaker 1: time by listeners. Well, just run as a write in candidate,
Speaker 1: and that way we will have the option of Spencer
Speaker 1: Pratt on the November ballot. It doesn't work like that.
Speaker 1: You cannot do that in a top two system. If
Speaker 1: there is closed primaries, you can run as a write
Speaker 1: in in the general election, usually depending on the rules
Speaker 1: of the jurisdiction. But when you have a top two system,
Speaker 1: everyone puts their name on the same ballot. You could
Speaker 1: run as a write in candidate in the primary and
Speaker 1: if you make the top two, then you move on
Speaker 1: in November. But November is just the top two from
Speaker 1: whatever whoever was on the ballot in the primary. So
Speaker 1: he's not going to be a candidate for mayor in
Speaker 1: any capacity in Los Angeles. That being said, I think
Speaker 1: given the makeup of the electorate, I don't see him
Speaker 1: winning if he were to run again in four years
Speaker 1: from now unless something dramatically changes in this city. And
Speaker 1: I think he kind of feels the same way. He
Speaker 1: doesn't think he's electable citywide in Los Angeles as it
Speaker 1: exists today. You look at other offices, whether it be
Speaker 1: the city Council or the state legislature or the Congress.
Speaker 1: There's realistically speaking, in the city of Los Angeles, not
Speaker 1: really much of an option for a Republican to get
Speaker 1: elected to any of those offices. Maybe if he were
Speaker 1: to move to the San Fernando Valley, maybe he could
Speaker 1: get elected to one of those seats. But you look
Speaker 1: at the seat that he's in right now, the Tracy
Speaker 1: Park seat. That doesn't only include Pacific Palisades, which has
Speaker 1: essentially zero residents now, it also includes mar Vista and
Speaker 1: Venice and other areas that are way bluer than Pacific Palisades,
Speaker 1: which I would add is also blue. He would have
Speaker 1: a difficult time, I think, even winning that seat. And
Speaker 1: why bother running when the best member of the La
Speaker 1: City Council is already representing that seat. There's no need
Speaker 1: to replace Tracy Park. She's the one, sane one. She's
Speaker 1: the blonde girl on the monsters over there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she could run for mayor in twenty thirty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if she runs for ryer office, he could do that.
Speaker 1: But she's up this time, correct, She just won.
Speaker 3: She just won, so she wouldn't run again until twenty thirty.
Speaker 3: But pract doesn't want to go to the city council. No,
Speaker 3: we know, we've been there, we know what that building
Speaker 3: smells like.
Speaker 1: So what you go to the city council so you
Speaker 1: can lose every vote thirteen to two. That would be
Speaker 1: a complete waste of time. There's no point in doing that.
Speaker 1: Go to Sacramento, what so you could be in the
Speaker 1: super minority and lose every vote up there too. That
Speaker 1: makes no sense. So why not go to Washington? If
Speaker 1: offer the job.
Speaker 3: Well, then you're leaving California to have to go to
Speaker 3: that dumpy swamp.
Speaker 2: That's true. I wouldn't want to do that.
Speaker 1: But the guy seems like he's been bit by the
Speaker 1: politics bug. He seems like he is genuinely interested, and
Speaker 1: when we had him on the program, he demonstrated that
Speaker 1: he is well read. He has spent a considerable amount
Speaker 1: of time thinking about these issues. He has solutions to offer.
Speaker 1: It's not like he's just the complaint department where he
Speaker 1: spends the whole time bitching about things. He said, what
Speaker 1: they're doing isn't working. Here's my solution that I think
Speaker 1: can make things better. And that was his answer to
Speaker 1: almost every question that I asked him. That's what you
Speaker 1: want from a politician. He doesn't use bureaucratise. He's not
Speaker 1: one of these people where you have to parse every
Speaker 1: word that he uses to understand what he's trying to
Speaker 1: communicate to you. He speaks very plainly. He comes from
Speaker 1: a background in television, so he understands the medium. He
Speaker 1: understands how to use the camera to get whatever message
Speaker 1: it is that you're trying to get across across. He
Speaker 1: clearly gets along with Trump. I think Trump has had
Speaker 1: him at the White House at least on one occasion.
Speaker 1: And I know that Trump is a fan of his
Speaker 1: because Trump has been tweeting about him on social media
Speaker 1: and certainly endorsed him in the LA mayor's race. Whether
Speaker 1: Pratt wanted that endorsement or not remains to be seen,
Speaker 1: but he got it. A lot of candidates want Trump's
Speaker 1: endorsement and can't get it. Pratt was able to get
Speaker 1: the President to sign on. So I think if you
Speaker 1: were to put him in front of that press corps,
Speaker 1: in front of those cameras, it would be a show
Speaker 1: every day, it would be worth tuning into. I think
Speaker 1: that he and Trump would get along, so you wouldn't
Speaker 1: have conflict between those two, and I think he would
Speaker 1: help advance Trump's this agenda.
Speaker 3: I think he would have a miserable time doing that job.
Speaker 3: But right now we know what things he cares about,
Speaker 3: we know what things he advocates for. And he's doing
Speaker 3: a great job on social media going after Bob Bonta
Speaker 3: and this lawsuit against the Paramount Merger.
Speaker 1: What have you.
Speaker 3: We've seen all the videos he's put out against Bass
Speaker 3: and Nitia. He does his own podcast from his burned
Speaker 3: out lot. If you're the press secretary now you have
Speaker 3: to answer questions about the straight of.
Speaker 1: Horror moves every day. Who wants that job? But you
Speaker 1: also have the president's here. You're also in the same
Speaker 1: building as him, and you're in constant communication with him.
Speaker 1: And even though it seems like it's never gonna get
Speaker 1: better in California, when we do see signs of things
Speaker 1: getting better of late, it's because there's been pressure coming
Speaker 1: from the federal government. Whether it's them cutting off the
Speaker 1: funds to the phony Boloney homeless services groups, whether it's
Speaker 1: them cutting off the funds to high Speed Rail after
Speaker 1: they failed to meet their obligations in the contract, whether
Speaker 1: it is the US Attorney in Southern California, Bill A. Sale,
Speaker 1: who is going after the fraudsters who are stealing money
Speaker 1: from taxpayers. We're not getting any progress at the city level,
Speaker 1: we're not getting any progress at the county level or
Speaker 1: the state level, but we are having pressure put on
Speaker 1: us by the federal government that is pushing us in
Speaker 1: the right direction. And that's just with people like Assie
Speaker 1: and other Californians har to meet Dylan and others. If
Speaker 1: you had someone who came from this state in that
Speaker 1: press room on a daily basis in Trump's ear, I
Speaker 1: think you could get even more pressure put on these
Speaker 1: people and see more progress in California.
Speaker 3: Well, there definitely is that aspect to look forward to,
Speaker 3: but you know, you could argue that his advocacy is
Speaker 3: already doing that. You look at what the the US
Speaker 3: Attorney's Office announced in the FBI announced yesterday where they're
Speaker 3: going to start offering five thousand dollars rewards for people
Speaker 3: on information for the animal abuse that's going on every
Speaker 3: day in skid Row. That is because of advocacy of
Speaker 3: because of people like Joey Tuccio and Spencer Pratt, who
Speaker 3: has elevated and promoted Joey Tugo, and that is a
Speaker 3: huge deal. So he's been able to accomplish a lot
Speaker 3: of that stuff from where he is right now, as
Speaker 3: this kind of like parapolitical influencer.
Speaker 1: Well, let's throw it open to the phones right now
Speaker 1: at eight hundred two two two five two two two
Speaker 1: one eight hundred two two two five two two two.
Speaker 1: Do you think Spencer Pratt would make a good press secretary?
Speaker 1: I do, And not only that, I think he could
Speaker 1: use his position there to really improve things in California.
Speaker 1: What say you at eight hundred two two two five
Speaker 1: two two two one eight hundred two two two five
Speaker 1: two two two. If you want to weigh in in
Speaker 1: the chat, you can do so. Johnny don't Like dot
Speaker 1: Com will read some of those remarks on the air
Speaker 1: as well, And of course, if you want to email
Speaker 1: us at Johnny don't like dot Com. If you'd like
Speaker 1: to email the show, you can do so at Johnny
Speaker 1: don't like dot Com. That's Johnny don't like dot Com.
Speaker 1: Wait no, nope, you screwed it up. Damn it.
Speaker 3: I thought I was the one exhausted this week. The
Speaker 3: email is Johnny Don't like Show at gmail dot com.
Speaker 3: The website where you can watch us and play around
Speaker 3: in the chatroom is Johnny don't like dot Com. And
Speaker 3: we're getting tons and tons of suggestions and comments on
Speaker 3: this press secretary gig, including listener Dbapacity, who writes in
Speaker 3: let's send John Phillips, Randy can hold down the show
Speaker 3: until he gets fired.
Speaker 1: How long do you think I would last in that job?
Speaker 3: Well, it's a job where, depending on the events of
Speaker 3: the day, you may be having to say on the
Speaker 3: podium names of foreign dignitaries.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that wouldn't mark. Nope. My problem is that when
Speaker 1: I get really tired, I get really punchy, really fast,
Speaker 1: you don't say. And that job requires a lot of
Speaker 1: travel where you have to switch time zones and that
Speaker 1: sort of thing, and so my sleep patterns would be
Speaker 1: disrupted twenty four to seven. I can't imagine I would
Speaker 1: be terribly pleasant to be around.
Speaker 3: You'd be real cranky. And the demand of that job
Speaker 3: means you will not be able to go on monthly cruises.
Speaker 1: That's true. And if Johnny doesn't make me cranky.
Speaker 3: If Johnny doesn't have his cruises, he is a bitch
Speaker 3: to deal with.
Speaker 1: That, Big said. I did work at CNN for a
Speaker 1: number of years where I was being fired at pretty
Speaker 1: much the entire time I was on the air.
Speaker 2: But definitely have battle experience.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Not for me though, that's for sure, but maybe
Speaker 1: for Spencer Pratt. What say you at eight hundred two
Speaker 1: two two five two two two What eight hundred two
Speaker 1: two two five two two two. Let's begin with Bob
Speaker 1: and Rancho Cucamonga.
Speaker 4: Bob, Hello, gentleman, longtime, no speak, Hey, Brandy, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: propose a new backdrop for Johnny. Would be a headboard.
Speaker 4: He needs his rest.
Speaker 3: Come on, Johnny, Well, if you just move the laptop
Speaker 3: to the bedroom, you'll be all set.
Speaker 4: And second of all, also for all this good conservative
Speaker 4: constitutional conservative Bob's out there, please call him Rob Vonta.
Speaker 4: Oh god, and just having him in the group of
Speaker 4: bobs around is just terrible.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, man, Bob, I gotta I gotta stop
Speaker 1: you here for a sea. He's different. His name is
Speaker 1: spelled different than yours. You're Bob Bonta. He's Bob with
Speaker 1: two oh's.
Speaker 4: No, I'm Bob from Kukamonga. Oh yeah, yeah, he's dog
Speaker 4: at it. Yeah, taking a second.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I call him Bob afe.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's that's pretty good. But yeah, uh man, Spencer Pratt,
Speaker 4: I would love to have him as a up there
Speaker 4: in front of the media, just burning them every stupid
Speaker 4: question have they ask. The only reject the only objection
Speaker 4: I have to it is that I think that the
Speaker 4: administration is having enough fires stirring around it in excuse me,
Speaker 4: around it right now because of the media. I think
Speaker 4: throwing him it'd be like throwing just another another coal
Speaker 4: into the fire. I would love to have him just
Speaker 4: burn everybody on the media the way Trump has had
Speaker 4: his uh, his press people going out there and doing
Speaker 4: which is just it's phenomenal. And the one thing I
Speaker 4: know he would hould up where the Trump administration would
Speaker 4: be just the clarity and just the openness and the
Speaker 4: willing to tell it how it is. People don't say
Speaker 4: how it really is nowadays. Everybody wants to just cover
Speaker 4: everything with sugar and roses. Are just lie about everything,
Speaker 4: be it the good the bad. They just nobody can
Speaker 4: even understand straight on talk right now without being offended.
Speaker 4: America needs a press agent, like, I mean, a press guy.
Speaker 4: I got that telling it how it is. But I
Speaker 4: think it would really scare and stir up the fire
Speaker 4: even more so. I'd love to see it, man, God,
Speaker 4: I kind of hope he does. Maybe he might do
Speaker 4: the skyamuci thing and just be there for a handful
Speaker 4: of months just to stir up the plot and make
Speaker 4: the just burn the media, which I think you know
Speaker 4: Trump loves to do. Guys, I love you, Mischa. I
Speaker 4: listen to you even more so now watch you on
Speaker 4: the YouTube. I'm just so happy for you guys getting
Speaker 4: bigger and better new stations. Just congrats all around to you.
Speaker 3: Both, and maybe someday that'll lead to money.
Speaker 4: Right as a musician for the last fifty years, I
Speaker 4: have a boatload of guitars I'm looking on in my garage,
Speaker 4: and I have a boatload of cabinets here. God, I
Speaker 4: would just love put him in a boat and throw
Speaker 4: them over the edge. And just I did make a
Speaker 4: buck off of it. But man, we have fun and
Speaker 4: love doing what we do. I love playing music. You
Speaker 4: guys are awesome on the radio. And again, man, congrats
Speaker 4: to your growth and hey, more power to you both.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call, sir, We appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Look at this suggestion from the chat, how about national trail?
Speaker 3: Says Adam Corolla.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: Well, you know how it works in that room. Every
Speaker 1: so often there's someone who wants to mix it up.
Speaker 1: When it was the Biden White House, it was Steve
Speaker 1: Doocey and Jensaki who would mix it up all the time.
Speaker 1: And with Trump one point zero, it was Jim Acosta
Speaker 1: and it was Kayleie Mcaninny who would mix it up.
Speaker 1: If they tried to mix it up with Spencer Pratt,
Speaker 1: he would slice and dice them like a piece of chicken.
Speaker 1: It Benny Hannah And maybe it would be a short
Speaker 1: term Gigka Scaramuchi think of it like sweeps week. Well,
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be short term and you're gonna go
Speaker 1: the reality TV route, maybe you don't want Spencer Pratt.
Speaker 1: Maybe you want Vicky from the Real Housewives of Orange
Speaker 1: County where Caitlyn Collins gets out of line and she
Speaker 1: just throws a glass of Chardonnay right in her face.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Ali in San Pablo, Ali. Hello, I
Speaker 1: don't have an alley. All right. Let's go to Chet
Speaker 1: Chet Welcome, Chet Are you there? Sir? Going once, going twice?
Speaker 1: All right. Let's go to Mike at Anaheim. Mike welcome, Hey.
Speaker 5: How are you guys? Actually I really do like Spencer
Speaker 5: Pratt for California in general, and I think he has
Speaker 5: a real future here. But I was thinking for the
Speaker 5: press secretary, what about Kimberly Classic from Maryland. I think
Speaker 5: if Trump stays on this woman being upfront and being
Speaker 5: that voice, and Kimberly has got great power behind her,
Speaker 5: great reputation, she was already endorsed by him, and I
Speaker 5: think it would just carry on that balance that the
Speaker 5: Trump platform could really use.
Speaker 1: Well, that's where the last one came from. Didn't She
Speaker 1: run for office in New Hampshire and lost, but she
Speaker 1: had a good showing. She performed well during the interviews,
Speaker 1: she performed well during the debates, so he thought, all right,
Speaker 1: I think she'd make a pretty good press secretary and
Speaker 1: she worked out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. I think like I said, I really
Speaker 5: like Spencer Pratt, like his personality, and I think he's
Speaker 5: found a new passion and I think California politics could
Speaker 5: possibly be a great go for him. But on the
Speaker 5: now national level, I think someone with more of that
Speaker 5: Washington DC repertoire and and some of her background, and
Speaker 5: I think it would just be another uh more arsenal
Speaker 5: for for Trump just to put another leading female in
Speaker 5: that that's spot, just to counter all in tainterers, all right.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call, SARP. Let's go to Joe
Speaker 1: in North Hills. Joe welcome.
Speaker 3: Hi.
Speaker 6: I don't want him. I'm a longtime Republican and I
Speaker 6: didn't vote for him because I thought it was ideolog
Speaker 6: who didn't know much, and that he made us look
Speaker 6: bad In the long run, I think it'd be even
Speaker 6: worse in that in that position, we need we need something,
Speaker 6: we need to show we can govern, not that we
Speaker 6: can burn people and and and like make ourselves feel
Speaker 6: good because we can burn people. We don't need an
Speaker 6: ideolog we need uh Tony snow from twenty years ago?
Speaker 1: Who did you vote for for mayor?
Speaker 6: I didn't. I hated not voting for mayor, but there
Speaker 6: wasn't anybody to vote for. I was afraid to friend
Speaker 6: Spencer Pratt got in. He wouldn't make us look so foolish,
Speaker 6: you would be so incompetent against the cabal of Democrats
Speaker 6: in this city. He would make things worse for Republicans
Speaker 6: in the long run.
Speaker 1: Did you happen to hear his interview with me where
Speaker 1: he came in studio for an hour and I peppered
Speaker 1: him with questions about city issues, about government issues, about
Speaker 1: political issues. I asked him everything I could. I hit
Speaker 1: him with everything I had. We didn't have a list
Speaker 1: of approved questions. I didn't go over the topics before
Speaker 1: he came in, and I sat there and I fired
Speaker 1: at him for sixty consecutive minutes. Did you hear that?
Speaker 6: I wish I would have heard it, because it sounds
Speaker 6: like something that could have changed my mind.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I understand your apprehension. And whenever someone
Speaker 1: comes into politics from some other realm and they don't
Speaker 1: have a political background, I always think, Okay, are they
Speaker 1: in above their skis? And it really is a case
Speaker 1: by case basis because sometimes they're buffones. I mean, when
Speaker 1: you have Gary Coleman running for governor during the recall,
Speaker 1: he didn't know anything about politics. Angeline didn't know anything
Speaker 1: about politics. But every so long, Steve Garvey was not
Speaker 1: well read. He knew the basics, he knew that he
Speaker 1: lined up on the right side of the aisle. Outside
Speaker 1: of that, he didn't know much, which is why they
Speaker 1: didn't put him out there a lot. But then you
Speaker 1: have other people you know, and I'm telling you, I'm
Speaker 1: in Riverside County right now, and the longtime congressman from
Speaker 1: this area was Sonny Bono. And let me tell you,
Speaker 1: you talk to people who lived in Palm Springs when
Speaker 1: he was the mayor of Palm Springs, and he knew
Speaker 1: those issues backwards and forwards because he was a business
Speaker 1: owner here who had to deal with bureaucracy and regulation
Speaker 1: and taxation and all of those issues. And people assumed
Speaker 1: that he was a flake, and they underestimated him at
Speaker 1: their peril because he was a guy who really did
Speaker 1: do his reading and do his homework, and he came prepared.
Speaker 6: I saw him a couple of times leading congressional hearings
Speaker 6: and he was wonderful.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you VICH call STARp. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is
Speaker 1: the telephone number one eight hundred two two two five
Speaker 1: two two two. Spencer Pratt is being considered for the
Speaker 1: White House Press secretary job. Do you think he deserves it?
Speaker 1: Do you think he'd do well? Eight hundred two two

Speaker 1: your calls at eight hundred two two two five two
Speaker 1: two two one eight hundred two two two five two
Speaker 1: two two. Spencer Pratt is being considered for the next
Speaker 1: Press secretary for the White House. How do you think
Speaker 1: you'd do? Let's go to Lynn in Santa Barbara Lynn.
Speaker 7: Hello, Hello, I just found you guys on YouTube, so
Speaker 7: I subscribe. Yeah, I'm going to be watching consistently. I
Speaker 7: love the vibe and the opportunity to voice my opinion,
Speaker 7: So thank you so much for taking the call. I'm
Speaker 7: disheartened extremely in regards to your last caller who is
Speaker 7: indicating that I mean, of course he can have his opinion,
Speaker 7: He's free to have it, but there seemed to be
Speaker 7: a lack of research on his part in regards to
Speaker 7: actually looking into the candidate of Spencer Pratt. Thinking that
Speaker 7: that individual is going to embarrass the citizenry of the
Speaker 7: area that he is basically legislating for is a peculiar
Speaker 7: thought to me, because I watched the city council and
Speaker 7: they gabble in three times a week, and those individuals
Speaker 7: are the biggest embarrassment on the face of the planet
Speaker 7: when it comes to managing the city. It is absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 7: There are sitting members who are currently under indictment for
Speaker 7: fraudulent activity. There's one individual who's running for mayor who's
Speaker 7: also tied up in some issues in regards to the homelessness.
Speaker 7: She got kicked off of the committee because she wasn't
Speaker 7: doing her job. So his vivaciousness, his youthfulness, is willing
Speaker 7: to fight, and also the fact that he did not
Speaker 7: want to identify himself specifically as a Democrat or a Republican.
Speaker 7: He wanted to identify himself as a citizen of Los
Speaker 7: Angeles who wanted to fight back against the corruption that
Speaker 7: had directly affected him and what he saw in his
Speaker 7: immediate area. So, I mean, we haven't had somebody that
Speaker 7: youthful that is willing to take on these issues in
Speaker 7: that city. Also, Karen Bass, she's a huge, gigantic, ridiculous
Speaker 7: person to say that she wasn't an embarrassment. These people
Speaker 7: have been in politics for decades and what exactly have
Speaker 7: they done except make the whole area worse you're.
Speaker 1: Right, and with the Olympics coming to town, if you
Speaker 1: don't think Karen Bass has embarrassed us enough, you just
Speaker 1: wait until we put our city in its current condition
Speaker 1: on the national spotlight or underneath the national spotlight. I
Speaker 1: think people are going to be appalled at the homeless,
Speaker 1: They're going to be appalled at the trash, They're going
Speaker 1: to be appalled at the condition of what we live
Speaker 1: with on a daily basis. So if you want to
Speaker 1: avoid embarrassment, you got to replace her.
Speaker 7: I hope that they make an immediate change in that
Speaker 7: decision in regards to having it here. The people that
Speaker 7: live within, the people that are existing within the area
Speaker 7: that are going to be affected by that, they're already
Speaker 7: asking for handouts and increases for money because there's going
Speaker 7: to be an increase in wage. They're already asking for
Speaker 7: that like now, they want that now. I mean, the
Speaker 7: fact of the matter is that this city is so
Speaker 7: poorly run that you need and he was willing to
Speaker 7: actually reach across the aisle and get people from decades
Speaker 7: ago who knew where the bodies were buried, and they
Speaker 7: were willing to actually put forth the effort of identifying
Speaker 7: it to make the city run better for everybody that
Speaker 7: exists in it. But no, it's just I hope that
Speaker 7: they changed their mind. The city is that they're down
Speaker 7: thousands of officers. Like you said, the homeless issue, there's
Speaker 7: a huge, gigantic I think it was like last week
Speaker 7: one uh, the guy who runs the housing federal he
Speaker 7: ends up taking a couple billion dollars because nobody can
Speaker 7: account for the money it's spent. It's gone, but nobody
Speaker 7: knows where it went. And that's just in La County alone.
Speaker 7: And there's been no improvement in regards to homelessness. There's
Speaker 7: been so much fraud. And when you look around this
Speaker 7: horseshoe of the city council, every single person of them
Speaker 7: ends up benefiting from it and then pats themselves on
Speaker 7: the back. That, in my opinion, is absolutely ridiculous and
Speaker 7: that is embarrassing. Spencer Pratt would have at least put
Speaker 7: a good foot forward. He would have been surrounded by
Speaker 7: an exceptional team because some of the names that he
Speaker 7: was coming up with were like really really good and
Speaker 7: it could have been an opportunity for positive change versus
Speaker 7: guess what we're gonna end up doing. We're gonna end
Speaker 7: up getting the same crap that we've had this whole
Speaker 7: entire time. It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you for the call, and thank you
Speaker 1: for discovering the show. We appreciate it. And if you're

Speaker 1: button because more people like Lynn can find us that way.
Speaker 3: It's really working. It's like for the first time ever
Speaker 3: we have marketing. It's great.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Greg and San Francisco. Greg, Hello, all right,
Speaker 1: Ed and Fort bragg Ed welcome. See this is why
Speaker 1: John doesn't have a computer. So he gets the screener
Speaker 1: to text him who the callers are, and then when
Speaker 1: the callers drop off, he doesn't know. So we get
Speaker 1: to play this game as to John guessing who's on
Speaker 1: the phone and they're not there.
Speaker 2: How about Barbara in La Barbara.
Speaker 8: Hello, Hi, Johnny and Randie Center. Pratt is the perfect choice.
Speaker 8: Our loss here would be the nation's gain, and I
Speaker 8: think the world. He's got the right personality. He's strong,
Speaker 8: he's a great communicator, he's good looking, he has a
Speaker 8: heart for people and what is right in the world,
Speaker 8: and he's not afraid to say it, and he's not
Speaker 8: afraid to talk down to the naysayers and the people
Speaker 8: who are like criminals, like some of the people in
Speaker 8: the city council and other politicians around. And I think
Speaker 8: he and President President Trump would get along famously. They
Speaker 8: have very strong, youthful energy. And by the way, I
Speaker 8: think it's his birthday tomorrow. But please don't play the
Speaker 8: Biby song.
Speaker 1: Just for you.
Speaker 2: We won't.
Speaker 1: All right. Thank you for the call. We appreciate it.
