The FINAL Straw: Hollywood Backs Spencer Pratt After THIS
YouTube ^ | 06/01/2026 | Kerri Lane

Posted on 06/01/2026 6:36:59 PM PDT by SmokingJoe

This video from The Kerri Lane Show reports on the surprising mayoral race in Los Angeles, where former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is emerging as a top contender against incumbent Karen Bass. The discussion centers on voter frustration regarding crime, homelessness, and city management, which has led many to support an outsider candidate.

Key Takeaways:

Poll Numbers: A recent California Post poll shows Spencer Pratt leading with 30.1%, followed closely by Karen Bass at 29.5% (2:09 - 2:42). Voter Sentiment: Residents are increasingly prioritizing local quality-of-life issues—like safety and neighborhood conditions—over traditional party politics (3:31 - 3:45).

Hollywood Backing: Figures like Doug Ellin (Entourage creator) and Kelsey Grammer are voicing strong dissatisfaction with the city's current state and expressing support for a change in leadership (4:00 - 4:45, 6:59 - 7:27).

Media Narrative: The host critiques local media outlets for attempting to frame the mayoral race through the lens of national politics and Donald Trump, while candidates like Pratt emphasize focusing on local infrastructure, fire safety, and public order (9:56 - 10:46, 12:54 - 13:18).

Campaign Atmosphere: The video highlights instances of Spencer Pratt using social media to call out campaign-related controversies, including issues with ballot boxes and campaign commercial authenticity (8:00 - 8:35, 9:16 - 9:38).

The video concludes by emphasizing that while the political establishment continues to focus on national narratives, many voters in Los Angeles are looking for candidates who address tangible, everyday problems directly affecting their communities.

All the NBC interviewer was interested in was Trump Trump Trump. Trump had nothing to do with crazies sh*tting in the streets. Karen Bass had plenty to do with that. She run on stopping that.

All the local media does here is show the stupid LA times poll showing Pratt in 3rd..the Slimes is notoriously WRONG but its a suppression poll they want to show it in hopes that Pratt voters will stay home thinking he doesnt stand a chance..the local media is ALL IN for Bass, yeah so what, she burned a city to the ground, so what, she’s a black communist thats what matters

I believe that’s the runoff rules, but in California all bets are off

I think the unfilled reservoir should be a last straw in favour of Pratt.

Hollwood knows that if LA keeps on sinking and rotting, they, the movie industry will sink and rot right along with it.

They will continue losing business to areas better prepared to host a movie crew, and at a much lower price. Areas such as Atlanta, Georgia, New York City, Santa Fe, New Mexico, New Orleans and others.

Tomorrow’s results are Spencer Pratt versus Karen Bass for the November General. Since they have the top two rule, that’s pretty much what it’s gonna be tomorrow.

Yes! That would be quite the miracle. It’s most likely going to be Pratt versus Bass.

That’ss great, but about 92% of CA vote by mail. It bodes well for Election Day voters. And as they vote for Pratt, perhaps that will help Hilton statewide.

If enough Dems were still voting with Deep State, Deep State wouldn’t have to steal CA’s elections.
