Former MTV reality star Spencer Pratt informed comedian Bill Maher that, if elected mayor of Los Angeles, he would enforce laws against smoking marijuana around children and in public spaces.

Pratt joined Maher for the latest episode of his “Club Random” podcast, where the two discussed Pratt’s dramatic surge leading into Tuesday’s jungle primary — and Pratt said he was absolutely ready to enforce laws already on the books regarding cannabis smoking and drug use when children are present.

Pratt explained that he’d never really talked about politics when he was on MTV, saying that at the time he’d been trying to be famous, and did not see an advantage in angering one half of the audience or the other.

Maher asked then whether he cared about “all the issues” now that he was running to be mayor of Los Angeles, and Pratt said no.

“I care about safety, the lights being on, potholes. I don’t want you smoking in front of kids at the park. You know, I’ll be enforcing if you’re smoking that in front of a kid at a swing. I’ll be getting you as mayor,” he jabbed at Maher, who is well known for his love of marijuana.

“No more drugs around kids at parks, in schools, in front of daycares,” Pratt said. “We need to have a society of consequences again … I never thought growing up I could smoke a blunt in front of a kid at the park. Now that happens. Moms do not want their kids that are like 5 years old …”

Maher continued to press Pratt on specific issues — namely the regulatory red tape surrounding solar panels, despite the fact that California has been pushing more people toward green energy sources — and Pratt insisted that crime and drug use needed to be handled first: “We’re about three years from worrying about solar panels. We need to get all the naked drug addicts off of the sidewalks, and then I can worry about solar panels.”

Spencer Pratt drags Bill Maher out of his liberal bubble and brought him back down to earth.

Maher was annoyed that Pratt didn’t know the specifics about taxes on solar powered energy, but Pratt humbled him with the REAL problems Angelenos care about.

Pratt and Maher appeared to be on the same wavelength for much of the conversation, but the former MTV star shocked the comedian with one assertion: the number of homeless people in Los Angeles who, he says, are not even from California.

“Ready for the best part?” he asked. “60% of the people in Los Angeles that are ‘experiencing homelessness’ are NOT from California! They’ve been brought here by NGOs that profit off of this homeless industrial complex.”

“Wait, wait, they’ve been brought here?” Maher asked.

“They’ve been brought here,” Pratt replied. “Body brokers bring these people here from all across the country. If you’re an addict you can come to LA and get these rehabs and because you can use Medicaid, Social Security.”

🚨 BOOM: LA mayor candidate SPENCER PRATT just exposed the NGO homeless industrial complex and Bill Maher couldn’t believe it
