Spencer Pratt Flips the Script: Explosive ‘Concession’ Video Declares ‘It’s War’ on LA’s Corrupt Machine
Warns Bass and Raman of early morning FBI raids and recordings that could force resignations

In a blistering three-minute video released today titled “Saving LA – Phase III,” former reality television star and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt delivered what supporters are calling one of the most electrifying “concession” speeches in modern political history.
Far from a graceful exit, the fiery address doubles as a declaration of war on the city’s entrenched political machine and a direct shot across the bow at Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilwoman Nithya Raman.
Pratt, whose home in the Pacific Palisades was destroyed in last year’s preventable and devastating wildfires, led on election night but fell short of advancing to the November runoff due to a spike in late ballots for Raman <wink wink>.
Although Pratt’s first mayoral campaign is over, he made clear that his mission is only accelerating–now fueled by righteous indignation.
“Now that the campaign portion of my mission to save Los Angeles is coming to a close and I’m moving on to the next more interesting phase,” Pratt begins, staring directly into the camera from a debris-strewn hillside overlooking charred remnants of his former neighborhood.
“Listen, I’ve spent a lot of time slaying everybody. I ridiculed everyone on the roster. And I just want to say from the bottom of my heart that I would like to take the chance to apologize to absolutely nobody…You think you can get rid of me that easily?

He dismisses critics like Jimmy Kimmel who claimed he was running a grift or would vanish if he lost.
“A lot of dim-witted jerks thought I was in this for a grift that was gonna roll up and leave town if I didn’t get into City Hall. Hey morons, I didn’t get in this for political power. I got in this to expose this corrupt machine. And nothing has changed.”
Pratt promises unrelenting accountability now that campaign finance rules and decorum no longer constrain him.
Addressing Raman directly: “You enjoy your worthless meetings at City Hall. I’m gonna be lighting you up every single day now. Don’t have to worry about offending CNN viewers. I don’t have campaign laws hamstringing me. It’s war. It’s Zero Hour for Los Angeles. ”
The city, he warns, faces accelerating decline under the leadership of Bass and Raman, whom he labels “two corrupt communists.”
Business owners and developers are already texting him about plans to flee Los Angeles.
Restaurants are shuttering.
The streets remain overrun with “weeds growing from every cracking crevice, graffiti over every square inch of public space, garbage, drugs, feces, burned-up dogs, burned-down towns….And you’re about to reward the arsonists with four more years of destruction,” Pratt questions, adding, “My goal hasn’t changed. I have been laser-focused on stopping these commie animals, and we will stop them.”
Pratt saves his sharpest warning for the runoff candidates themselves.
“Go ahead, pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it,” he says. “So Karen, Nithya– ask yourself: Is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace? Hope you sleep well at night over the next five months…Well now, we are flipping the script. I want you all of you awake at night, sweating, worried about 5 am when the FBI busts in your door, breaking open your office, because I assure you they are coming. You thought your election was going to stop me? Well, if you want to stop me ‘you’re going to have to kill me.”
Supporters on X immediately amplified the clip, now surpassing one million views, with one user quoting it verbatim and others declaring it “the most epic concession speech in all of human history.”
The video ends with a stark graphic of Theodore Roosevelt–the Rough Rider, Bull Moose, and embodiment of relentless American fighting spirit, with the word “WAR” emblazoned across the screen. The imagery serves as a powerful declaration that Pratt’s Phase III is no polite political exit but an all-out, no-holds-barred offensive against the machine: unburdened, unapologetic, and modeled after Roosevelt’s “man in the arena” ethos of charging forward no matter the cost.
For a candidate who entered the race as a political outsider after personal tragedy, Pratt has already forced uncomfortable conversations about homelessness, government failure, election integrity, and the city’s post-wildfire recovery. His campaign exposed what many Angelenos feel is a broken system, one that rewarded the very failures that contributed to the Palisades inferno and ongoing urban decay.
Now, with the formal campaign behind him, Pratt signals that the Los Angeles reckoning has only just begun.

That was not a concession speech. It was a declaration of war – and Californians need to stand with him. Dismantling the corrupt regime in Los Angeles, will cripple the Machine in Sacramento.
The machine in sacramento is actually the machine based in san francisco (Willy Brown, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, the Getty family…), so, if the local political machine has an oak stake driven through it’s heart and those who count the votes are banished, will and how will the average los angeles denizen vote? Even abused dogs tend to love their master.
Many of those who flee California because of the communist crap raining on citizens vote for what they left while inflating real estate values in their new state of residence to where the locals can’t afford home ownership anymore. Think about it.
Imagine the sleepless nights for Bass and Raman. Couldn’t happen to a nicer pair of cheating politicians.
It’s as though whatever Spencer Pratt has up his sleeve is just about all I care about politically anymore. All things considered.. I want everyone involved with this cheat crammed down our throats to pay and pay and pay. And I hope they will pay dearly for what they have done
Sleepless nights? Please; they’re rehearsing their dance on our graves.
Pratt’s message resounded accountability: Accountability is the enemy of the progressives.
California, LA et al must first and literally implode thus causing the progressives to feed on each other.
And somehow magically, a sudden surge of votes came in for Measure ER after election day to raise the sales tax in Los Angeles County another 0.5% to 10.25%. The exact same thing happened to Spencer Pratt after election day.
Ballot harvesting in California is UNLIMITED.
As columnist Susan Shelley remarked about this, in essence, “why would the people who voted late and whose votes came in after election day feel entirely different about the issue of out-of-control taxation than those whose votes came in before election day? And be eager to pay such an additional tax? Especially when the major complaint of everyone in the state has been ‘unaffordability?'” And she further remarked that there is NO GOOD EXPLANATION for that; that no good explanation exists, and that it makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

Ok. Well the progressives I know are calling me insane because I’m trying to tell them about the magical ballots that come in at the most opportune times to put what ever democrat politician or tax increase over the top. I ask myself who votes for the person that burns your city to the ground? Who votes for increasing taxes upon themselves. No one, that’s who. Listening to Mr. Pratt got me going. I am fully 100% behind the man. He got screwed by the Democrat Machine. All I can hope for is that he exposes as much as he can. I know my Democrats. They are evil, power hungry narcissists. I hope he gets some body guards because they will come after him if he starts causing enough damage, which I hope he tears the whole thing down.
Not wholly sure, but I think his office caught fire
For the first time I am EAGER to donate $! Please ask Mr. Pratt how we can get money to him and support his efforts! Mr. Shirley, too, as long as we’re at it. I’m not rich, but I’ll give generously from what I have!
The progs’ followers will have no problem assassinating Pratt, so he really shouldn’t dare them. I hope he has very damning evidence against both candidates to be truthful. But I’d be totally thrilled if Karen Bass was exposed as a criminal; she’s so awful.
Get it on, Spencer! We’re behind you!
I think the Democrats are fascists!! Otherwise I agree with everything he said. Go Pratt!!
So glad that I fled LA City almost 30 years ago, but I will support Pratt wholeheartedly as he continues to rally the normal people of El Lay.
Pratt and Bianco should join forces and it’s pitchfork and torches time, folks!!!
Hope the Prattman keeps fighting because there are many of us Californians who support him and his vision.
Spencer Pratt says he was the victim of arson attack at his crystals company office: ‘This was no accident’ as an investigation is launched.

Well, someone set fire to his business, so he must be doing something right.
I hope he is taking his safety seriously. I wish him the best.
I sure hope he can accomplish his goals to fully expose these criminals and they should be behind PRISON BARS. I think the presently existing CA Republicans should also stop dropping the ball and get these Criminals in PRISON where they belong and that should have been done already some time ago and Spencer needs all the help he can get! I also think it’s totally Evil that JIMMY KIMMEL ridiculed SPENCER and told him he would send a U-HAUL knowing full well that there is NOTHING to take away. That’s a very vicious, evil and callous thing to say. It’s also very arrogant and one never knows if that person wouldn’t have anything bad to happen to him. I would never do anything, but to me, it’s like making fun of a disabled person. One never knows if this doesn’t come back to bite me, so I consider it very bad luck to make fun of anybody under bad circumstances or having any disability for any reason. That just might come back to haunt me.
