Spencer Pratt deserves credit for reinventing himself
“What I gotta give credit to Spencer Pratt for reinventing himself. We talk about reinventing yourself all the time. I remember when it spent someone, I think, pitched like, hey. Do you wanna have Spencer Pratt on the podcast? I was like, the reality guy from the February? They're like, oh, you haven't seen what he's up to these days? Dude, he's running for mayor. I'm like, as a joke? They're like, no. He's for real. And we've been looking into it, and he is for real. Mhmm. You know who the joke is? It's Karen Bass lady. So kudos to you.

The board messed up by choosing a widow
“If it's the board, the board messed up. Why did the board mess up? If you ask me a question like that, do you know what I'm gonna say? I'm gonna say, first of all, you know, the conversation of you being CEO today is off the table if you ask me. Because you're gonna get nonstop criticism. It needs to go to somebody else. Let's put somebody else that can take all the arrows that is coming in. Pick someone else. Who? I don't know. It can't be you. And I'm gonna ask Erica. I'm gonna say, what's the most important thing to you right now? To be a widow, wife who lost one of the most important people in the political history ever. Maybe the most important voice that we have today. Do you wanna go mourn and have the time to yourself? Two, do you wanna be a mother or do you wanna be a CEO? Which of those three is the most important to you? That question, if she said mother or mourn, it's guess what? I'm telling you step away for six months and just do your thing to get those two things right.”
Congress passed the War Powers Act to check presidential authority
“And so Congress came up, Pat, and said, okay. Stop. Unless you have specific instructions and support and a vote that says, yes, we're declaring war, just like when, the the president went before, congress and said, I want you to declare war on Japan after Pearl Harbor. It was a very formal vote, and the congress said, yes. We're declaring war. So it was all aligned. And, you know, Vietnam was not aligned. So all of this madness came together, Pat, in 1973, and they said, that's it. A president can go sixty days if they have to do some sort of emergency act, some bad thing happen. You know, this what goes on Vinny, you know, I mean, the military has to respond and do something about something and you can't, you know, wait for Congress and the naval gazing and you can't put your plans in public. So Congress said, okay, that is it is it is true that the president needs the pen, Pat, to act as a leader and to take steps. But after sixty days, if it's going further, you gotta get our permission, and that's the War Powers Act.”
