voters really this stupid or is this some sort of strange twisted misinformation campaign? I don't know, but that's the question that we're gonna have to answer more and more with their online activity, particularly clustered around Spencer Pratt. Because this strange trend has been popping up on TikTok about what they supposedly wanna do in support of this crystal [00:00:19] loving cook who's running for LA Mayor. Take a look. [00:00:51] Okay, so obviously we had to change the music. But honestly, I think that that fits Spencer Pratt fans more than anything that was playing in their actual video. That should be in the background of all of his campaign ads. But anyway, so that is a bunch of people from across the country saying that they love Spencer Pratt and his obsession with the magical healing [00:01:12] powers of crystals so much that they want to drive or fly with gas prices being what they are. to LA to vote illegally for Spencer Pratt. Now, the question is how many of them are going to actually try it and how many are just weirdly vice signaling online. I don't know, they've [00:01:28] got some celebrities in the mix. James Woods said, this would be wrong and you could get in trouble when asked for your ID to vote. Wait, nevermind, voter ID is not allowed in California. And on a completely separate note, the best freeway hours are 10 AM to 1130 AM, just saying. [00:01:46] It's a great joke and I love the use of AI. This is what has become of art on the right. He later clarified that he was being satirical. But I don't think he is, I don't think he knows what satire is. I think he like all of these random crystal loving weirdos online, [00:02:03] think that you can just show up and vote. Because all they have consumed is a fire hose of Fox News slop for years. And they think, yeah, no, you could just show up and vote. That's not how that works at all. Yeah, we don't have voter ID. There are still multiple steps to [00:02:21] verify that the right person is voting. You can't just show up randomly to vote. That's not how it works. And I think he got like he learned that and he's like, I should probably pretend that I was joking. So look, they could potentially get in serious legal trouble if anybody really chooses to do this. I also think it's an amazing thing for them to be like bragging [00:02:40] or trolling over. when supposedly they care so much about voter fraud and voter security that they're willing to end our democracy in support of it. But anyway, Sharon, what do you think? I think it's just MAGA doing what MAGA does to try to get under our skin as if existing with them isn't enough. But I mostly think these people are weirdos. They're either [00:03:01] some kind of I was put up to it and paid off and bought type thing, but who really does this? Who gets on there and is so involved in this whole Spencer Pratt thing that this is what they're doing. I think it's just to troll the rest of us and people who are fed up and overworked and overtaxed and overburdened to say, look what we're do to you now. And [00:03:21] I don't know, maybe I should take the bait, but I'm just not going to, I'll just put them in the weirdo bucket. Yeah, well, I think they put themselves in the weirdo bucket. I mean, they're supporting literal Spencer Pratt in this particular case. Spencer Pratt. I guess the good news is that at least as of right now, Bass is still above Pratt, 35 to 23 in the [00:03:40] most recent Emerson College poll. I'm not like a massive Bass fan or whatever. I think there's some far better progressives that are currently also like very, they're polling very similar to Spencer Pratt. But we have to see what the structure of California elections, we have to see which two end up in it. I don't like love Bass, but yeah, I'm gonna choose her over [00:03:59] Spencer Pratt, like I think pretty clearly. The dude's already said that if he loses, he's gonna leave LA. Which is just like, um I'm already in favor of voting against you, didn't need to sell me on it at this point. But look at the level of attachment he has to this city he claims to want to run, that he's going to leave if he loses, okay.
