Pratt details how the LADWP drained a nearby reservoir, the lack of aerial support due to Mayor Bass being in Africa, and alleged editing of after-action reports, highlighting systemic negligence.
He reveals how NGOs like Winegard receive inflated contracts to build expensive, ineffective housing, with audits showing hundreds of millions in tax dollars not reaching the homeless.
Pratt advocates for mandatory drug treatment in nature-based facilities, says he will enforce laws against public drug use and encampments, and plans to recruit billionaires to rebuild LA with beautiful architecture and fast-tracked permits.
He claims 80% of voters disapprove of Mayor Bass, and that his campaign is a non-partisan movement of 'angry taxpayers' and moms, not a typical political organization.
"They keep calling me the angry white guy. They don't get every race, every gender, however you identify. If you live in LA and you're paying your taxes, you are angry."
"I keep telling everyone, the experience, I don't need to invent anything. You make a city safe and people will put money into it. They'll want to live here."
"I don't do this to be a politician. I do this to fight evil. This is evil that has taken this beautiful city that I loved."
