"Nobody is stepping up to run against the mayor who's responsible for this disaster and so many other disasters,' he continued.

Pratt said he realized he did not want to be a mere "yapper," a person who complains or demands action without actually doing anything themselves.

"I'm making these videos.

I'm telling the truth.

I got a congressional investigation.

I went to Washington.

And I met with everyone possible that I could do as just a citizen, and I was like, ‘Okay, well, game on now.

I'm going to go into your headquarters and just take your job and then remove all these toxic entities that are destroying our way of life in Los Angeles.’"
Pratt argued that with his efforts, he does not have some grand vision of what LA could be, but something more practical, declaring, "I don't have a new utopia of what LA should be.

I want LA back.

I want the LA I grew up in."

Later in the interview, Pratt recalled how he leaned in to being a heel on-screen in reality TV shows, but after being hated for so many years, learned it is better to be loved by people for trying to make a difference in real life.

"Listen, man.

I'm voting for you.

I can't vote for you, but I'm rooting for you," Rogan said, noting he is a Texas resident and no longer a Californian.

"I mean, if I lived in Los Angeles, no question whatsoever, I would vote for you."
Fox News Digital reached out to Mayor Bass' campaign and did not receive an immediate reply.
