Pratt also described relying on prayer before participating in a recent mayoral debate. He admitted he had been nervous because he had never acted as a politician before.

“I had to say, ‘God, if you want this for me, please just have me destroy them live on tv,’” Pratt said. “And, I walked off that stage, and this young high school kid came right up to me, he said, ‘Thank you, sir, for being the only one that told the truth up there on the stage.’”

Pratt said, “For me, when I set out on this mission, it was just to get the truth at the highest platform I could, that’s all I ever thought I was going to be able to do.”
