[00:00:00]Joe Rogan has jumped on board the Spencer Pratt train. Have a listen to the praise he gave the LA Merrill candidate on his podcast.

[00:00:08]>> Spencer Pratt if he loses in LA to run for mayor of Austin.

[00:00:11]>> Come to Austin, bro. [laughter] We could use you.

[00:00:15][gasps] Has he got a chance in LA? What do you think?

[00:00:18]>> I think anyone's got a chance. I think I think if you put together a campaign that gets some excitement and people talking, you have a chance in LA. I really do. Like that city, the people there are >> they're desperate. They're desperate and also they live for entertainment. So entertain them a little.

[00:00:33]>> Joining me now is host of the Kinsey Scoffield unfiltered podcast, Kinsey Scoffield. I'm going to say Austin has suffered from California. Maybe Spencer Pratt should focus his energies there.

[00:00:45]>> Could he fix us first? I mean, Spencer is unconventional, but unconventional candidates are valuable today because Americans are so exhausted by the the generic establishment messaging. Um, and he knows how to make people feel heard.

[00:00:59]That's political currency. But let's be real, Spencer Pratt turning reality TV notoriety into political momentum is actually a very American fairy tale.

[00:01:11][laughter] Now, staying in California, Governor Gavin Newsome is being slammed after he allocated $33,000 of taxpayer funds for a new portrait of himself to be displayed in the state capital. It is tradition for California governors to be honored with a portrait Kinsey. But former governors like Arnold Schwarzenegger have paid for the artwork out of their own pockets.

[00:01:37]>> Yeah, I hate this guy so much. Just hang up that Harper's Bizaarre photo of Gavin Newsome and Kimberly Gilfoil on the rug at the Getty Mansion. Do you remember that picture? Let's just hang up that one. Gavin knows that nothing says a man of the people like a taxpayerf funed glamourshot during an affordability crisis. So this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Please know I will repeat this story repeatedly if this narcissistic egoomaniac tries to be my president. I'm going to be like and have you seen the portrait of [laughter] it's what he wants. And you know what?

[00:02:14]You've got a lot of material to work with when it comes to Gavin Newsome, particularly his conduct throughout CO.

[00:02:21]Now, let's go back to Texas and actress and writer producer Roseanne Bar was out celebrating Ken Paxton's victory in the Republican Senate runoff in in the great state of Texas. Let's have a quick look.

[00:02:33][music] >> [music] >> Kinsey, the woman is having a blast and I've got to say I'm happy for her because they did her dirty. The way they sacked her off her own show that bears her name whilst it was rating through the roof and then without her the whole thing collapsed.
