In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the new US-Iran peace memorandum, a deal that reopens the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian and Omani oversight while extending the current ceasefire by 60 days. He digs into the billions in protection payments Arab nations are reportedly sending to Tehran, how Russia has helped Iran rebuild its missile stockpile after the war, and why Trump is furious with Netanyahu over new strikes on Hezbollah just as this fragile deal comes together. Bryan also covers the growing US weapons shortage and how China's grip on rare earth minerals is complicating America's ability to rearm. Plus, conservative wins take shape in Peru and Colombia, Cuba makes a surprising pivot away from communist economic policy, the Tren de Aragua gang leader is killed in a US strike, new details emerge on ballot harvesting in Los Angeles, Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire and Democrats react, Pennsylvania steelworkers get a major boost, diesel mechanics receive pardons, and a new study links low vitamin C to brain health in older adults.

Spencer Pratt — yes, the guy from The Hills — made a campaign ad with AI for zero dollars. No donors, no consultants, no political machine. And it pulled more views than the entire campaign of the sitting mayor of Los Angeles, who's backed by hundreds of millions of dollars. The political establishment spent a decade building a system to control who gets attention… and a reality TV star with a laptop just broke it. In this episode I break down exactly how — because the same technique works in your business, not just a mayor's race. These ads don't land because they look like political ads; they land because they look like movies. I'll show you the engine underneath: a 130-year-old idea from French psychologist Gustave Le Bon, the false-belief framework I teach in Expert Secrets, and the uncomfortable line I think all of us have to draw now that anyone can deepfake anyone for free. I've lived one side of this — I bootstrapped ClickFunnels against an entire industry that said I couldn't compete — so I'm not watching this one from the outside. Key Highlights: ◼️The “$0 campaign ad” that beat the machine — how Spencer Pratt and a four-person studio pulled more views than a sitting mayor backed by hundreds of millions, using a free (and Chinese) AI video tool ◼️The Expert Secrets move these ads run on — “breaking false belief patterns”: they don't argue that politicians care, that the system works, or that you need money to win… they shatter each belief with a story instead of a fact ◼️The entertainment-format trick — why mapping your audience's favorite movies (Star Wars, The Dark Knight) onto their false beliefs turns an ad into something they'll actually share ◼️Gustave Le Bon's 1895 warning — crowds aren't moved by facts, they're moved by images… and why AI just handed that weapon to everyone for free ◼️The line I won't cross — use AI aggressively to compete with people who outspend you, but putting words in politicians' mouths they never said is where it tips from equalizer to dangerous Here's what I keep coming back to: for 130 years, the people who could afford to create images controlled the crowd. That era just ended. AI gave the images to everyone — and once the tools are free, the only thing left that matters is the story. The political machine is learning that the hard way in LA right now, and your market is no different. So the real question isn't whether these AI ads are fair or dangerous. It's this: in your own business, are you still paying for the old machine… or are you the one building with the new tools? Are you Spencer Pratt in this story — or are you Karen Bass? ◼️AI SECRETS CHALLENGE: Most people are either afraid of AI or using it as a toy. Russell built a challenge that teaches you how to actually MAKE MONEY with AI — not just be productive, but build real income. The best defense against being manipulated by AI companies is understanding the technology well enough to profit from it yourself. → https://www.AISecretsChallenge.com ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

President Trump announces on his 80th birthday - Flag Day - that the US has signed a peace deal with Iran and that the Strait of Hormuz is open for business. Crude oil prices plummet. Spencer Pratt drops the mother of all ads and announces he has video evidence that will make Karen Bass and/or Nithya Raman disqualifiable candidates for LA mayor. This is WAR, he says. The billionaires on the All In Podcast dig into LA's sketchy election results and make a stunning admission: We are living in a Matrix - and voting is really just purposeful theatre.  

**The 43,000-Vote Flip: Ballot Harvesting and the War Over Voter Rolls** In this hard-hitting segment, the hosts dissect the dramatic reversal in the Los Angeles mayoral primary race, where candidate Spencer Pratt's initial 40,000-vote lead over progressive Nithya Raman completely evaporated into a 43,000-vote swing days after election night. The commentary levels a critical gaze at California's highly opaque voting system, highlighting how a week-long mail-in ballot extension window and zero mandatory chain of custody over collected ballots open the door to widespread harvesting vulnerabilities within vulnerable populations. The monologue connects these localized election results to broader systemic clashes. Pointing to Judicial Watch's legal battle to scrub over 870,000 dead or relocated individuals from California's universal mail-in registry, the host details a multi-layered counteroffensive from the executive branch. This includes the White House Fraud Task Force stripping $250 million from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority for flagrant mismanagement, alongside a high-stakes legislative battle surrounding the SAVE Act to force comprehensive, federal-level voter roll compliance.

President Trump revealed something yesterday regarding the Iranian conflict, but the corporate media fixated on one out-of-context line and ignored the biggest news-maker. Glenn analyzes Trump's admission that America has been taking out oil ships and seizing their barrels of oil in a massive military operation. Glenn, Jason, and Rikki discuss the Iran situation and reveal how gas prices across the country are dropping, despite the media outcry that they're rising. Glenn plays shocking footage of homeless people on Skid Row in California admitting they were paid to vote for specific candidates, including Los Angeles mayoral candidate Karen Bass, and admitting this is a routine tactic. Jason joins Glenn and Rikki to explain why he believes this will be California's undoing, as the Left's arrogance will lead to self-destruction. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton joins to explain how the investigation into the assassination attempt against President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, only brings up more questions than answers. Glenn lays out what “America First” actually means and theorizes as to why people get offended by the mindset.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bob in New Rochelle called in to talk about Karen Bass's appearance, as she is the Mayor of Los Angeles. Larry in Cranford, NJ, called in to agree with Trump on how the economy isn't a huge priority right now when the country's national security is at risk regarding the war in Iran.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.10) Conway kicks off the hour with the latest fallout from the Palisades Fire, as thousands of property owners who lost homes are now suing the city of Los Angeles — including Mayor Karen Bass’s brother, Kenneth D. Bass. The legal action also targets the state of California, LADWP, and several other entities as fire victims look for accountability. Then the crew takes a turn into classic Conway chaos with CVS Pharmacy yin and yang, Burnett’s Vodka, definitely not KFI Vodka, and a medical-adjacent conversation that somehow lands on “Gonorrhea Gone” and herpes being on a sliding scale. Later, the show dives into the trouble hitting Hollywood production. Quixote Studios is laying off around 70 employees and winding down much of its soundstage business in Los Angeles and Atlanta as film and TV production continues to slow. With Netflix tied to major Hollywood office space and possibly eyeing the Radford Studios lot, Conway looks at what all this means for the future of entertainment in L.A. The hour also breaks down the rise of gray screen filmmaking, where AI-generated environments may replace traditional green screens, giving directors a whole new way to build movie worlds. And finally, the crew gets into the big AI question: if artificial intelligence can now detect errors, rewrite code, and improve itself, what happens next? Even Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is warning about job losses, safeguards, and the future of society.

Peter Hamby joins us to break down the high-stakes political races shaping California ahead of the June 2 primary — from the crowded governor's race to the increasingly unpredictable battle for mayor of Los Angeles. Hamby, host of Snapchat's “Good Luck America,” political correspondent at Puck, and host of the “Powers That Be” podcast, explains why Democrats in America's bluest major state remain divided and without a clear frontrunner to replace term-limited Governor Gavin Newsom. The conversation dives into the frontrunners, whether former Fox News host Steve Hilton has a chance to win statewide as a Republican, and Newsom's role in the race as he looks to 2028. The episode also explores the fascinating Los Angeles mayoral race, where incumbent mayor Karen Bass is facing a surprising surge from reality TV star and influencer Spencer Pratt. Hamby explains why Pratt's social media-first campaign strategy is resonating with some voters — and whether it represents a new playbook for modern political campaigns.

They don't want you to hear this. They never do. But The Marc Cox Morning Show spent four hours this Thursday morning delivering exactly what the mainstream media buries, spins, and prays you never figure out — and today was one for the books. Iran called President Trump directly from the Situation Room begging him to stop the strikes, Trump told them sign the deal or the bombs fall harder tonight, and by the end of the show he was already talking about taking Karg Island and seizing Iran's entire oil infrastructure. Fox News Radio's Eben Brown and Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins brought the on-the-ground detail that no one else had, and Marc connected every dot from secret oil runs through the Strait of Hormuz to why your gas prices have been quietly dropping for weeks. The ActBlue CEO pleaded the Fifth 27 times in Congress. Congresswoman Summer Lee told Black Americans their votes aren't worth casting without a government check. Mysterious billboards are popping up on St. Louis highways calling America illegitimate — and Marc had the receipts on every single one of them. The Supreme Court was minutes away from dropping decisions on birthright citizenship, biological males in women's sports, and post-Election Day ballot counting, and Fox News Sunday's Shannon Bream was there to break it all down. A homeless woman in Los Angeles admitted on camera she was paid two dollars to vote for Karen Bass and didn't even know her last name — and Marc laid out precisely why California has legalized election fraud and what it's going to take to stop it. New St. Louis County Police Chief Juan Cox joined for his first ever radio interview on the job and didn't pull a single punch about the teenage takeover crisis, repeat juvenile offenders, and a family court system that keeps tying law enforcement's hands. Senator Eric Schmidt's bloody-nose diving catch at the Congressional baseball game was the feel-good moment of the week. Tom Ackerman brought the Cardinals hot streak, the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history, and a Patrick Mahomes contract number so staggering it defies comprehension. The St. Louis Morning Brief exposed the media's shameless attempt to call an illegal Nicaraguan national a "Collinsville man." And the show closed the way St. Louis conservatives love most — with Backstoppers president Larry O'Toole, former Chief Greg Brown, and Honoring Heroes Inc. president Mike Nolan in studio to honor the legacy of the late Steve Hawley and rally the community around the first annual Blast for Backstoppers on June 26th. Four hours. Zero spin. All Marc Cox. This is why you never miss a minute.

Hour 3 of The Marc Cox Morning Show is one for the history books. The ActBlue CEO pleads the Fifth in Congress while Congresswoman Summer Lee pushes reparations and tells Black Americans their votes aren't worth casting without a government check — and Marc dismantles every bit of it. Mysterious billboards are popping up on St. Louis highways pushing a book that calls America itself illegitimate, and a 26-year-old woman's coffee shop epiphany delivers the perfect rebuttal. Fox News Radio's Eben Brown joins live to reveal Iran called Trump directly from the Situation Room begging for a ceasefire — and Trump told them sign the deal or the strikes resume tonight. The secret oil runs through the Strait of Hormuz are exposed, Trump's Truth Social post announces Karg Island is next, and Marc connects every dot on why your gas prices have been dropping. Then a street video out of Los Angeles catches a homeless woman admitting she was paid two dollars to vote for Karen Bass — and didn't even know her last name. The Marc Cox Morning Show covers it all — the stories that matter, the truth they're hiding, and the common sense that's going to save this country.

In California you don't need an ID to vote, ballot harvesting is completely legal, and ballots signed with a smiley face might be counted as valid. Bridget Phetasy breaks down how the LA mayor's race went sideways, why Spencer Pratt went from second place to out, and why none of this is a conspiracy theory — it's just what happens when you make the sketchiest possible voting practices legal and then dare anyone to question it. #ElectionFraud #BallotHarvesting #DumpsterFire #BridgetPhetasy Topics covered: California ballot harvesting, LA mayor race 2026, Spencer Pratt, Nithya Raman, Karen Bass, California voter fraud, mail-in ballots, California voting laws, election integrity, ballot fraud legal

Recorded the morning after Glenn Wiggle's Monday-night prediction came true, Mike Sperrazza and Glenn dig into the Los Angeles mayor's race, where a little-known socialist candidate vaulted past Karen Bass on the strength of mail-in batches that broke almost entirely her way, many of them traced to Skid Row. They walk through James O'Keefe's undercover footage of NGO workers collecting and forging ballots, then tie the pattern to older fights like Al Franken's Senate win and Allen West's lost Florida seat, and to Gavin Newsom's cryptic "break the glass" remark. From there the conversation moves to California's mail-in rules and ghost voter rolls, the federal indictment accusing the Southern Poverty Law Center of funneling millions to extremist groups, and a Kathy Hochul clip on ICE and the Minneapolis killings. The guys close on George Floyd, repeat offenders slipping through the courts, and why families keep trading New York for Florida.00:00 – Welcome and recap of the LA mayor's race prediction 01:16 – Mail-in ballot anomalies and the Skid Row vote surge 04:25 – James O'Keefe's undercover ballot-harvesting footage 15:55 – A pattern going back to Al Franken and Allen West 19:41 – Gavin Newsom's "break the glass" comment 25:20 – California's voting laws and ghost voter rolls 30:00 – The SPLC indictment and alleged extremist-group funding 35:21 – Kathy Hochul, ICE, and the Minneapolis fallout 41:40 – George Floyd, repeat offenders, and the courts 47:10 – Why people are leaving New York for Florida

Josh Reid is back from vacation and Alpha Warrior is fired up because John Thune just said publicly he will not bring the Save America Act to the floor and laughed when asked if Trump can do anything about it. The duo opens with an LA Uber driver story that captures exactly what is happening on the ground. Spencer Pratt voters who hate Trump are watching Karen Bass steal the election in real time and finally calling it what it is. From there they dig into the Iran and Israel kabuki, the water treatment warning strike, why Iran keeps notifying US bases before missiles land, and the IDF eavesdropping on American peace negotiators in Turkey and Pakistan. They unpack NDAA Section 224, the bill Netanyahu personally helped write to integrate Israeli and US military tech, and Alpha drops what he learned from being on the call about the July 7 2025 cyber event that was not the CCP. Plus the first US Army firing squad executions since 1961, the Black Hawks rehearsing urban combat in LA during the stolen election, Bolton pleading guilty right on Alpha's six to nine month cooperation timeline, and the most provocative theory of the year. What if Q has always been cover for a second military playbook that nobody is supposed to see?

CannCon and Ashe in America open the Wednesday show in a fighting mood, and it only intensifies. John Thune tells the country on camera that the SAVE America Act cannot pass the senate and the solution is to go vote harder in the next election, prompting Ashe to read directly from the Declaration of Independence and make the case that two hundred fifty years of American history have brought us to exactly the long train of abuses Jefferson described. CannCon and Ashe dismantle Thune's argument with the precise point Badlands has been making for years: the filibuster is an arbitrary senate rule the majority can change at any time, not a constitutional constraint. California wraps its primary coverage with new viral evidence of the fraud: a street interview of a woman saying she voted for Karen Bass because they told her to, combined with CannCon's report that illegal alien voters in California have no legal liability for casting a ballot because the state sends it to them. Ashe notes they watched the SPLC hearing before the show and she was already well past composed before they went live. The intelligence community's infiltration of congressional staff gets a pointed discussion, and both CannCon and Ashe agree that the people running congress are not the elected ones.

California held its primary election a week ago and we still don't have a governor or a Los Angeles mayor. Here's why — and why none of it is as simple as either side is telling you.This week Phil and Camille break down everything happening with California's election system in real time. How does counting actually work in the largest voting state in the country, and why does it take so long? What are "ballot dumps" — and are they actually suspicious? What does documented voter fraud in California really look like? And what could genuinely fix a system that produced 23% turnout after mailing a ballot to every single registered voter?They also cover the two races still being decided as this episode airs: the governor's race, where Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton have now been projected to advance — and the story of how Becerra went from 3% polling in March to first place; and the LA Mayor's race, where Spencer Pratt held a 40,000-vote lead on election night and watched it disappear over six days as Nithya Raman overtook him to face Karen Bass in November.Plus: the viral claim that Pratt received zero votes in a 24,000-ballot dump — debunked by Trump's own Justice Department. The Voter ID proposition headed to your November ballot. And the live Supreme Court case that could change how California counts votes before November even arrives.No spin. No team. Just the numbers.New episodes every Tuesday at 8PM PST, live on YouTube.Subscribe to the newsletter at caunderground.substack.comPhil is also writing The Gilded State — a book about how California became the most expensive, least accountable state in America.

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report. On today's program: David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect and co-host of the Organized Money podcast, joins us in the studio for the free half. MS NOW reporter Jacob Soboroff takes a tour of the L.A. County Ballot Processing Center in the City of Industry to try and dispel the conspiracy theories of voter fraud pushed by Trump, Spencer Pratt and others. On CNN, Harry Enten explains why it makes no sense for Democrats to rig the election for Nithya Raman. Karen Bass' polling numbers show her leading Pratt by 18 points and losing to Raman by four points. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says he cannot provide evidence of election tampering in California, but he knows it "stinks to high heaven". As the screwworm infestation spreads among American livestock, it has become clear that this is the result of DOGE and cuts made by the Trump administration. This assessment is backed by the Texas Republican Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller and former first-term Trump staffer and rancher Catharine O'Neill Gillihan. Gilihan's ranch Meriwether Farms posts on X advice for managing screwworm while outright blaming Trump for not moving fast enough in the last 15 months to address this crisis. Josh Orton, President of Demand Justice and former senior adviser to Bernie Sanders, joins the show to discuss his work for court reformation. All that and more.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down mounting allegations of voter fraud in the Los Angeles mayoral race, explains why California's electoral system may be structurally designed for manipulation, and lays out what July 10th means for the future of that fight. The Trump Administration is also making its most aggressive push yet to strip citizenship from foreign-born Americans who lied or committed crimes during the naturalization process, but Bryan explains why the Senate filibuster remains the single biggest obstacle to doing it at any meaningful scale. On the espionage front, China, Russia, and Israel are all ramping up intelligence operations against the U.S., and the bizarre case of CIA officer David Rush and his basement full of gold bars keeps getting stranger. Plus, screwworms have now crossed into New Mexico, infecting a dog in Lea County and triggering Canada to block live animal exports from Texas, with Bryan offering a clear warning for pet owners in the region.

Today's Headlines: Trump attended the Knicks game last night, shutting down a 10-block radius around Madison Square Garden to sit with owner James Dolan and the usual suspects of administration figures — all of whom got to watch their boss get booed louder than the Spurs during the National Anthem. Trump spent the next morning posting at 5am that Israel and Iran must stop "shooting", which neither country is taking seriously given that strikes continued yesterday despite him reportedly calling Netanyahu directly to ask him to stop — again. Meanwhile, Spencer Pratt officially lost the LA mayoral race to progressive Nithya Raman, who will face Karen Bass in November, and Trump responded by claiming without evidence that "two republicans are being cheated" in California, using the state's slow vote-counting as cover to pre-seed election fraud claims — a preview of his midterm strategy. In other news, five cases of flesh-eating New World screwworm have now been confirmed across Texas and New Mexico, with the USDA building a $750 million sterile fly factory in Texas to combat it, while RFK Jr. — according to multiple colleagues — has shown "little interest in managing the details of his department" and is instead hunting for evidence that vaccines are harmful, receiving almost no Ebola briefings, and leaving nearly half of NIH's 27 institutes without permanent directors. The Pentagon accidentally deleted Mormons from its approved religion list, added them back after Senator Mike Lee lost his mind, then failed to classify them as Christians — a three-step own goal that somehow happened in one week. And OpenAI filed its IPO paperwork with the SEC, becoming the third trillion-dollar AI company to go public after Anthropic and SpaceX, in what was described in an unsigned blog post as something they're announcing only because "we expect it to leak" — which is a strange way to announce a trillion-dollar IPO.

California is inviting questions about its elections because of a problem that is entirely solvable: the state takes too long to count ballots. This LA mayoral race is just the latest example.Let's look at what happened. On election night, Karen Bass was at 30 percent of the vote. Spencer Pratt was at 28 percent. Nithya Raman was around 20 percent. Every model from respected vote-modeling people that I saw indicated that Raman would gain more than Pratt in the later votes, presumably giving her enough to catch up to a less-distant third place without surpassing Pratt's campaign. Instead, we got an avalanche of late Raman support.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The first vote drop had Raman running about 10 percent ahead of Pratt. The second was stronger. Then Friday came around, and things got really weird. Whether you want to ascribe malicious motives to it or whether it's totally above board and legitimate, the fact that this is happening on Friday for an election that happened on Tuesday becomes suspicious when Raman gets 40 percent of the vote total in a drop. She's not only running ahead of Pratt, she's running ahead of Bass. The same thing happened Saturday. The same thing happened Sunday. Now Raman is through to face Bass in the general a week after this sort of outcome — even in LA — seemed unlikely.Am I saying that somebody cured ballots after seeing the results? Am I saying somebody harvested ballots? No. I don't know specifics, and nobody else does, quite frankly. I'm saying you don't have to do this. Opening the process up this way is the reason you create suspicion. Is it odd? Yeah, it is odd. Even the people who thought Raman was going to overtake Pratt thought it would happen by the skin of her teeth at the very end. Nobody thought it was going to be over by the weekend. It's beyond expectations.I'm going to renew my call here, and it's not just me saying it. You've got systems in America that process a lot of votes really fast, and the way they do it is not rocket science. Florida created a system after 2000 that handles a lot of early voting and a lot of vote-by-mail, but those ballots are processed before Election Day and then dumped into the results when the polls close.If we're in an era of declining trust in elections, then I don't care how you think we got here. I don't care if you think it was Chicago in 1960, hanging chads in 2000, Democrats in 2020, Elon Musk and Starlink in 2024, or any of the other election fraud theories that have floated around American politics. What I care about is creating a system that we can all look at and say, “Seems like what happened.” I don't think California is close to having that, and it's only going to get worse if we don't make some big changes ahead of 2028.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:22 - California Results00:13:57 - Interview with Bill Scher00:35:08 - FISA00:38:06 - Walz and Ellison00:41:19 - Dems' New Super PAC00:44:09 - Interview with Bill Scher, con't01:13:13 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Spencer Pratt's insurgent campaign for Los Angeles mayor is over, and the way it ended should concern every American who cares about election integrity. Late vote dumps vaulted City Councilwoman Nithya Raman into second place, setting up a runoff against Karen Bass. Democrats don't want questions asked. They never do. In California, no voter ID is required and ballots are mailed to registered voters whether they request them or not. The system is built on blind trust and ripe for abuse, yet anyone demanding transparency is attacked instead of answered. Pratt may have lost, but his campaign exposed something the political establishment can't ignore: millions of Californians are fed up with crime, homelessness, sky high taxes and government failure. The problem is those millions, are still wildly outnumbered. Sadly, the people running Los Angeles into the ground are still in charge, and there is no alternative in sight. Plus, the meltdown over President Trump attending a New York Knicks NBA Finals game proves just how brainwashed parts of America have become. Thousands of fans sitting in seats that cost a minimum of $8,000 each booed the man most responsible for creating the economic conditions that allowed them to afford those tickets in the first place. The irony is staggering. The same crowd cheering for bigger government and socialist policies would be the first victims of the economic misery those policies create. Today, we expose the broken election system in California and the political conditioning turning common sense upside down in America's biggest cities.

I'll explain what I mean…Episode links: - Me: Why do you think Karen Bass has such a high likelihood to win?LA Voter: It seems like all the places where they don't have voter ID these people win. - “You guys wanna see how safe and secure mail in voting is?” American receives 4 mail in ballots and 3 of them are for people who don't even live at the address - Insane - Last night, I watched one single election batch of nearly 25,000 votes get distributed to every single LA Mayoral candidate except for Spencer Pratt.  Remeber Wisconsin? “You're saying every last vote broke for Biden? — there was not a Trump vote in there— that doesn't look right— even the bluest city you're gonna have someone voting for the other party.” - -  JUST IN — LEADING gubernatorial candidate in California, Steve Hilton, just revealed the Secretary of State says it will be 35 DAYS until the results are in.  HILTON: "On the Secretary of State's website, today, 35 DAYS, that's the plan!"  "It is in absoulte shambles, a humiliation for California, it's making our state a laughing stock. "India 640 MILLION, they do it in a DAY!" - People ask why the CA vote-counting process takes so long. @Elex_Michaelson of @CNN explains it clearly here. But the short answer is the state values participation plus thorough scrutiny of ballots over speed. - "For whatever reason, the late mail-in votes in key races tend to pull Dems ahead"Hmm, I wonder why - WOW… DANA BASH REALLY JUST SAID THIS ON CNN: “Republican votes tend to be counted CULTURALLY first.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-5-2026.1900 ADAMS BOULEVARD LA. Jeff Bliss highlights the stark contrast between Seattle's controlled homelessness and the pervasive crisis in Los Angeles. The discussion transitions to California's jungle primary, where late-arriving ballots in the Los Angelesmayoral race show statistically improbable gains for Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, fueling accusations of election irregularities. Jeff Bliss previews the opening of a massive, multi-story In-N-Out Burger in Las Vegas, predicting it will become a celebrity destination similar to Hollywood's historic clubs or New York's Stork Club. He also reflects on a rare 1955 invitation from Walt Disney, noting its role in establishing Disneyland's enduring cultural legacy. Richard Epstein examines the 14th Amendment's opening clause, distinguishing the robust rights of citizens from the conditional privileges of aliens. He argues that naturalization was historically a federal prerogative, noting that early statutes, influenced by Thomas Jefferson, included explicit racial exclusions for persons of African or Asiandescent. Richard Epstein disputes the "plain meaning" application to the 14th Amendment, arguing that "subject to the jurisdiction" requires natural allegiance rather than mere physical presence. Critiquing the Wong Kim Ark ruling, he suggests that children of legal permanent aliens should inherit their parents' status rather than automatic citizenship. Jim McTague reports on the cautious economic sentiment in Lancaster County, where despite falling gas prices, consumers remain budget-conscious. While tourism remains strong at venues like the Sight and Sound Theatre, local officials recently rejected a proposed data center in Columbia due to technicalities and concerns over its utility. Lorenzo Fiori provides an optimistic update on Italy's economy, noting improved employment rates across various demographics. He highlights a landmark legislative shift toward nuclear energy, with small plants planned by 2034. For travelers, he recommends San Miniato, a strategic, less-crowded Tuscan village famous for its white beans. Bob Zimmerman dismisses NASA's sheltering orders on the ISS as an overreaction to routine Russian repair work on the Zvezda module. He details SpaceX's massive IPO, which aims to raise billions, and observes that private space station firms like Axiom and Vast continue to secure significant capital despite SpaceX's market dominance. Bob Zimmerman surveys global spaceport developments, contrasting Spain's investment in French Guiana with the liquidation of the UK's Sutherland facility due to red tape. He debunks claims that the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas is an alien craft and notes that unpredictable sunspot activity continues to defy scientific models. Andrew Bayliss recounts how Pericles provoked the Peloponnesian War by steering Athens toward confrontation with Sparta. He details the Athenian strategy of retreating behind city walls and relying on naval imports, a move that tragically facilitated a devastating plague, claiming thousands of lives, including Pericleshimself. Andrew Bayliss profiles Lysander, a Spartan general of modest origins who secured crucial Persian funding to challenge Athenian naval supremacy. Lysander achieved victory not through direct combat, but by using deception to capture the Athenian fleet while the crews were uncharacteristically casual and off their ships. Andrew Bayliss explores the aftermath of Sparta's victory, noting that Lysander's immense power and ambition ultimately led to his death during a failed siege. Sparta's dominance eventually collapsed at the Battle of Leuctradue to a dwindling citizen population, reducing the once-mighty superpower to a minor village. Andrew Bayliss critiques the modern application of the "Thucydides Trap" to US-China relations, arguing that the original Peloponnesian War was not inevitable. He suggests the conflict was precipitated by specific provocations and accidental circumstances, drawing parallels to the circumstantial outbreak of the First World War. Henry Sokolski warns of China's fast breeder reactor program, which produces super weapons-grade plutonium capable of fueling efficient nuclear triggers. He also notes South Korea's growing interest in developing independent nuclear capabilities and submarines to counter threats from North Korea and China, despite international non-proliferation standards. Henry Sokolski explains the strategic significance of deploying Dual Capable Aircraft (DCA), such as the F-35, to reinforce NATO's nuclear deterrent in Europe. He observes that while Moscow and Beijing oppose these deployments, the aircraft act as vital "glue" for alliances, ensuring that American nuclear guarantees remain credible. Richard Epstein analyzes the Wong Kim Ark decision, arguing that Justice Horace Gray erroneously applied birthright citizenship to the children of ineligible aliens. He further critiques the expansion of the Equal Protection Clause in the 20th century, claiming it was originally intended for criminal matters rather than civil benefits. Richard Epstein discusses the legal complexities of a proposed executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. He highlights the rise of "manufactured citizenship" through birth tourism and predicts the Supreme Court may eventually distinguish between transient visitors and those seeking permanent residency.

Jeff Bliss highlights the stark contrast between Seattle's controlled homelessness and the pervasive crisis in Los Angeles.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week they discuss California's chaotic election process, MSNOW's Ali Velshi complaining that he can't celebrate America's 250th birthday because we're such a racist country, troubling new allegations against Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, and a bizarre twist in Alaska's Senate race.First, Jim and Greg complain about California's inefficent vote counting. We are still waiting for results in the governor's race involving Xavier Becerra, Steve Hilton, and Tom Steyer, and the Los Angeles mayor's primary with Karen Bass, Spencer Pratt, and Nithya Raman. They also discuss disappointing results in other contests. Next, they react to MSNOW host Ali Velshi bemoaning how tough it is to celebrate 250 years since the Declaration of Independence because of what he considers our terribly racist history and our supposed mistreatment of women and minorities today.Then, they sift through the most recent allegations against Graham Platner from multiple former girlfriends, who describe what they call "reckless and unsettling" behavior. The accusations include aggressively grabbing women, forcing one woman's arm behind her back, and preventing her from leaving a room. But Democrats still support him.Finally, they focus on Alaska, where Sen. Dan Sullivan may have to share the ballot with another candidate named Dan Sullivan in the August primary. Is it a legitimate campaign or an attempt to create voter confusion? Greg and Jim also rip Alaska's convoluted voting system.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

Is California finally turning on the political establishment? Is Europe unraveling in real time? And what happens when ideology collides with science? In this explosive episode of The Weekly Rundown, Jillian Michaels breaks down the biggest stories shaking America and the world. CALIFORNIA'S POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE The California primary results are in—and the establishment is officially on notice. Jillian reacts to Karen Bass' controversial election night appearance as Spencer Pratt surges in the Los Angeles mayoral race. Then the team breaks down the battle for governor as Steve Hilton gains momentum against Xavier Becerra, examining the policies driving crime, homelessness, economic decline, and the continued exodus of California families. Is California on the verge of a political realignment—or headed for even deeper trouble? THE PUBERTY BLOCKER DEBATE: THE SCIENCE THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT After viral clips from Dave Rubins Jubilee debate and dangerous laims from woke commentator Sam Seder, Jillian delivers a data-driven takedown of the mainstream narrative surrounding puberty blockers and gender-affirming care for minors. Using findings from the landmark Cass Review, leaked WPATH files, international medical policy changes, and emerging research on youth gender medicine, she dismantles claims about gender affirming care being a “pause button, and highlights growing concerns surrounding bone density, fertility, sexual function, long-term health outcomes, and more. Plus, why have multiple European countries reversed course—and why are so many activists refusing to acknowledge the evidence? IRAN ESCALATES As breaking news unfolds during the show, reports emerge of an Iranian missile and drone attack targeting Kuwait's international airport. What does this mean for the Middle East? Is this an isolated event—or the beginning of something much bigger? PARIS BURNS & THE WESTERN IDENTITY CRISIS Following PSG's championship victory, Paris erupts into riots, mass arrests, injuries, and destruction. Jillian examines the growing intersection of immigration, assimilation, lawlessness, political extremism, and cultural fragmentation that many believe is transforming cities across Europe. Is Paris a warning—or a preview? THE UK STORY THAT LEFT EVERYONE STUNNED The team reacts to disturbing bodycam footage involving college student Henry Nowak, who was allegedly treated as a suspect after being stabbed multiple times when accusations of racism entered the situation. The case raises difficult questions about policing, justice, race, political pressure, and whether governments have become afraid to apply the law equally. HOPE IN THE DARKNESS To close the week, Jillian highlights stories that remind us humanity is capable of far more than division and chaos—from a moving military homecoming to breakthroughs in diabetes treatment, AI innovations reducing animal cruelty, major conservation victories, and record-breaking technological advances. Because while the headlines often focus on what's broken, there are still reasons to believe in what's possible.
