Ironically, it's one of the best pro Spencer Pratt ads I've seen. They are blatantly oblivious to LA's loss of patience with the people who have been running the city for decades. We gave their ideas a chance and it clearly did not work. Nobody wants things to stay as they are now. This ad is going to convince a lot of Angelenos to vote Republican for the first time in their lives.

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

The best outlet is becoming the outlet yourself. Start a weekly livestream show covering LA issues, responding to constituents (with call ins), and refuting the latest media spin. Keep it going once you’re mayor. Talk directly to the people for an hour a week, without being filtered and edited by the press. Start it now, so by the time you’re elected, you won’t even need the media to share your messages to Angelenos because you can simply broadcast it yourself. This is what @DrDrew did — we built a live streaming studio in his house, he simulcasts to 8 platforms, and now he is uncensorable.

This phishing scam has been running since February at least. @DrDrew received several, some from accounts with even more followers than he has. At least 1 new attempt this week. The link (which constantly changes) tries to get the receiver to authenticate via X to submit a "vote" in a fake contest. I didn't go further than that but I assume after authenticating, it starts sending DMs to the hacked account's biggest followers.
It doesn't appear to be fully automated though. Someone on the other end of the hacked account responds to DMs, and assures the receiver "it's not a phishing scam" if they suspect you're hesitating.

Aside from the other crimes: jumping in front of a car to fake an injury, then pressuring the driver for cash to avoid a lawsuit or insurance claim (even if they do not file it) is illegal in CA and most states. It's attempted fraud that violates PC § 532 in the CA penal code. Very weird how you seem eager to defend the maniac who harassed my wife and attempted to steal from us.

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

All of my cop friends are not from LA, so they know this experience was bonkers but sadly typical for Los Angeles. If you've lived there, you know exactly what I am talking about, but you have been conditioned to think it is normal. You do not need to live this way! You would be shocked to see the beaches where I live now: no needles, no maniacs, no problems. Cost of living was cut in half immediately. Why? Because here, they lock up the maniacs or put them into rehab until they are clean... or kick them out of town. Everything costs less when scammers and stealers and firesetters aren't driving up the prices and everybody's insurance rates.
Literally anyone would be better for LA than who's running it now, or who's been involved in running it for the past 15 years. Anyone who has had any political power in LA in the past decade, but has not effectively addressed the maniac problem, needs to leave politics forever.
Doing some quick math here... I think that leaves you with... @SpencerPratt

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

Obviously you have never lived in Los Angeles. Do you really think CA would defend my rights if I was forced to rely on Castle Doctrine? In LA, you lock your doors & wait for cops. Doing anything else will likely end with you being stabbed by the maniac, or if you defend yourself, ending up in jail.

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

Harassing my wife?
Terrorizing our neighborhood?
Attempting to steal money by threatening my wife with a lawsuit & false insurance claim unless she paid them cash right away? In CA that's likely attempted "Theft by False Pretenses" from PC § 532.
LA is beautiful but these types are ruining it. You do not need to live this way! Either move them out, or move to a city that cares about their residents. After 10 years of watching our elected officials do nothing to fix it, I unfortunately had to choose the latter.
I hope someone does something about it before it's too late. But it will not be any of the people who have been running LA for the past decade. @spencerpratt

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

I promise I'm not making this up. My wife is from Alabama and had never experienced an LA homeless scam like this before, so it was especially terrifying for her when he fake-stumbled up to her window. She knew she hadn't hit him, but didn't want to leave until cops arrived – so she was stuck with an unhinged lunatic at her window. I ran across town on foot to get to her. Their scam was organized: a second guy was standing to the side as a "witness" to pressure her into paying cash and avoid an insurance claim.
But they were truly idiots because they did this right in front of a corner store, and the owner told the cops he saw it all on his security cameras. We didn't even need the tapes though: the cops already knew these guys because they'd attempted this same scam multiple times that month. And because of Prop 47, the best they could do was make the scammers sit handcuffed for a while before they were forced to release them back into the community. @spencerpratt

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

This happens to me constantly nowadays, when I read a hit piece article about @DrDrew but I can immediately identify the author's deceptive retelling (because I was there when it happened!). Lost a lot of trust in journalists after witnessing them repeatedly lie about someone we know. Drew is always reminding people to be aware of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect – glad to see your mom saw straight through it

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

@MikeIsaac I posted a TikTok for @DrDrew earlier today, and TikTok wouldn’t allow “#Minnesota” as a hashtag. Didn’t have this issue a week ago.

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

I think either it was a vulnerability that a mad player used to target our accounts (we play in squads with fill), or Epic / EAC mistakenly blacklisted our IP. When I tried to play using an older account on the same PC, it got banned right away too. The only way to play was to subscribe to GeForce Now so we were using their IP. There were months between the bans on my account and my wife's (each using different emails, PCs, and credit cards) but both were reinstated the same day. So if there are hundreds of players reporting they were suddenly unbanned in the past 3 days, then it was an EAC false-positive bug that they finally took the time to fix.

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

@FortniteStatus My wife and I have been playing Fortnite together every week for over 7 years. Both of us just got a 365-day ban for an "exploit." But this is impossible. I am 37 years old – I don't even know how to use a Fortnite "exploit." Look at my stats – there is no way an exploit is being used when my stats are so abysmal. This is the fun game my wife and I love to play on weekends, but I can't reach anyone at Epic to fix it. We are NOT using a VPN or anything that might falsely trigger your system. I've tried to get a human to fix this but I only receive AI-generated auto responses. Can anyone help? We just want to play Fortnite together over the holidays.

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

Epic support never responded. I was banned in July, my wife was banned in December. Their support acted like robots repeating the same stock replies, unable to comprehend that their anti-cheat system made an error. I was ignored for half a year. Then suddenly on Wednesday... Epic got to our months-old appeals, saying they reviewed the ban and "determined that it was applied incorrectly." Both accounts were reinstated. But of course, not even a whisper of an apology from Epic for letting this mess continue for so long, or an explanation of why they got it so wrong.

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

Merry Christmas from the Nation Family!

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

@Bob885474517743 @FortniteStatus Same ban we received. I'm trying to figure out why this keeps happening. The PC didn't have anything suspicious: no VPN, no weird hardware addons, no programs that might alter a game. Have you ever used Parsec or Speedify on your PC that got banned? Do you use a Peplink router?

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

@RoyalChamp2 @FortniteStatus My first ban happened 3 months ago, and Epic's AI support bots kept repeating the same statement over and over. It's clearly an error, but no human being ever gets into the support thread to help. So you're left with... all of these bot replies that you see below your post.

[Kaleb Nation @KalebNation]

@FortniteStatus Can you help with this issue? We can provide any documentation required to show this was incorrectly applied to our accounts. https://t.co/Ws8SdvMgeA

They kicked Dr. Drew off of tiktok while we were talking. There’s something deeply revealing happening right now, and if you’re paying attention, you can feel it.

We’re finally starting to hear conversations that were off-limits for decades. Actual conversations.

And that matters because when you silence discussion, you don’t eliminate harm. You just abandon the people living with it.

Let me be clear about something. Rare injuries exist. They’re real. And when they happen, whether from a disease, a medication, or a medical intervention, they’re devastating. No one disputes that.

But here’s the question no one in authority seems willing to answer:

Why is it acceptable to talk about rare injuries in every medical context except vaccines?

Why is empathy allowed everywhere except here?

If a child is injured by a rare disease complication, we speak openly. We fund research. We support families. But when that injury follows a vaccine, suddenly the rules change. Suddenly you’re not allowed to ask questions. Suddenly the injury becomes invisible. Suddenly the parent becomes the problem.

For those suffering vaccine injury, it’s not political. It’s their daily reality. And pretending those people don’t exist doesn’t make vaccines safer, but it sure does make medicine weaker.

What I’m encouraging people to do now is simple, but powerful: trust your instincts again. Ask yourself whether you’re getting a full, well-rounded picture or whether someone has decided certain information is too dangerous for you to hear.

Because the truth is real science welcomes debate. Real science isn’t afraid of questions. And real public health doesn’t require censorship to survive.

Which brings me to the most telling part of all this.

We had a conversation like this measured, calm, balanced, on a show. And in the middle of it, TikTok shut down the stream and issued a strike for “community guideline violations.” Just for a discussion.

That’s why these debates matter. That’s why I’m encouraged. Because even when they try to shut it down, the conversation keeps happening. And every time it does, a little more light gets in.
