Podcast appearances and mentions of Karen Bass

She oversaw the burning of L.A.'s Westside last year.

The Los Angeles primary elections, held June 2, 2026, were the source of great debate and not a few surprises. In this episode, David Myers, in his farewell episode as founding host of The History-Policy Podcast,  interviews longtime LA public official and frequent LCHP collaborator Zev Yaroslavsky to discuss what the primary elections tell us about California's political climate and what the future might hold. The discussion begins with Zev's observation that inflation, cost of living, and the high price of gasoline have led to discontent throughout California. This sense of frustration played out in the LA primaries, with Republican candidate Steve Hilton advancing to the final two of the California governor's race. Meanwhile, Xavier Becerra set himself apart by refraining from vitriolic attacks on other candidates. Whether Becerra or Hilton can serve as California's chief executive once elected, rather than simply as a legislator, remains to be seen. At the local level, incumbent LA mayor Karen Bass faces surprisingly stiff competition from Councilmember Nithya Raman, whose platform drew attention to the failures, real or perceived, of Bass's tenure. As the general election approaches and preparations for the Summer Olympics in 2028 continue, the trajectory of LA and California overall is very much in question.Read Sueño Incomplete: A History of the Latino Wealth Gap in the United States.Read The Making of a Crisis: A History of Homelessness in Los AngelesZev Yaroslavsky is the Executive Director of the Los Angeles Initiative at the Luskin School of Public Affairs. He served as LA City Council Member from 1975 to 1994, and as a member of the LA County Board of Supervisors from 1994 to 2014. In 2023, Zev released a memoir, Zev's Los Angeles: From Boyle Heights to the Halls of Power, in which he reflected on his long career in politics. 

Chris Cillizza and Chuck Todd launch Super Tuesdays — the now-on-every-feed version of the show they've been doing together — with a wide-ranging conversation that runs from Trump's self-centered Fourth of July to the summer's most consequential Senate primaries. First, Chris starts with the update that the USMNT lost to Belgium after President Trump intervened to get star striker Falorin Balogun’s red card overturned and wonders if Trump curses every sports team he involves himself with. He also weighs in on the latest developments surrounding Graham Platner. Then, the guys break down why Trump's 250th-anniversary flop and his eye-popping financial disclosure ($2.2 billion in his first year back, $1.4 billion of it from crypto) add up to what Chuck calls "late-stage Trumpism" — a president who's more isolated, less able to self-correct, and increasingly celebrating his own version of patriotism by himself. From there it's onto the world stage: Trump's trip to the NATO summit, his instinct to break the alliance, and why throwing a lifeline to a historically vulnerable Putin makes no strategic sense. The back half turns to the 2026 map and the 2028 shadow race. Chuck and Chris dig into Mallory McMorrow's exit and the now one-on-one Abdul El-Sayed–Haley Stevens fight in Michigan, the outsider-vs-insider dynamic driving Democratic primaries, and what the Black vote means from Detroit to Karen Bass's LA. They size up the Wes Moore–Pritzker–Buttigieg field, decode the Graham Platner drama in Maine and why Susan Collins stays chronically underrated, and offer a sharp consumer's guide to why the NYT and Fox polls tell such different stories. Then they close the way only these two would — Trump's alleged FIFA meddling ahead of USA–Belgium, a lesson on how corruption always comes back around, LeBron's next move, and a deep Nationals All-Star and trade-deadline dive.

President Trump is calling out California's election system after Spencer Pratt appeared to be headed toward a possible Los Angeles mayoral runoff — only to fade as late mail ballots pushed Nithya Raman into second place behind Karen Bass.Trump says the election was “rigged.” California officials say the process was secure, transparent, and properly certified. But the bigger question is now exploding nationwide:Why does California take so long to count votes?Why are mail-in ballots changing races days after Election Night?And why is asking for proof of citizenship treated like a crime?This is why Trump is demanding the SAVE America Act — and why the fight over election integrity is becoming one of the biggest battles in America.Was Spencer Pratt robbed of a runoff?

Is California beyond saving? Or is this the biggest political cover-up in America? Real estate mogul, entrepreneur, and former California gubernatorial candidate Elaine Culotti joins Jillian Michaels for an explosive conversation about the hidden systems she says are driving California into collapse. From ballot harvesting and voter roll controversies to homeless spending, high-speed rail failures, NGOs, special interests, Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and billions of taxpayer dollars disappearing into bureaucracy, this episode pulls back the curtain on what many believe is a broken system. Why does California keep electing the same leaders despite rising crime, failing infrastructure, and a worsening affordability crisis? Who is actually benefiting? And can the state still be saved? Elaine doesn't hold back.

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.

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.  

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

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.

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.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss California's ongoing vote-counting controversies, a congressional report showing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz repeatedly failed or refused to stop rampant fraud, Scott Pelley's martyr complex after getting the boot from CBS, and Jill Biden once again excluding one of her granddaughters from public recognition.First, Jim and Greg comment on Karen Bass and City Councilwoman Nithya Raman advancing to the general election in the Los Angeles mayor's race, Spencer Pratt coming up short and lingering questions about California's election system. Next, they review a House Oversight Committee report that alleges Gov. Walz and his administration ignored repeated warnings from whistleblowers about massive fraud and, in some cases, retaliated against those who raised concerns. Then, Jim and Greg react to former CBS correspondent Scott Pelley's effort to portray himself as a victim following his firing last week. They also discuss the left wing bubble in mainstream media. Finally, they criticize former First Lady Jill Biden for once again refusing to acknowledge the child that Hunter Biden fathered out of wedlock. Mrs. Biden dedicated her latest book in part to her granddaughters, but she did not include the child's name, continuing a pattern. Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinGet15% off OneSkin with code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3MLPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.New episodes every weekday. 

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.

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.

Spencer Pratt just laid out his aggressive plan to take down failing Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in the November runoff. If you're tired of woke leadership destroying American cities, this is a must-watch. Reality TV star and Republican fighter Spencer Pratt advanced to face Karen Bass head-to-head after strong primary results. In his victory speech, Pratt made it crystal clear: He's coming for the incumbent with everything he's got. From cleaning up the homeless crisis that has turned Los Angeles into a nightmare to holding officials accountable for the devastating wildfires that destroyed homes — including his own — Pratt is promising common-sense solutions over endless progressive excuses. We also cover: Marco Rubio DESTROYS the Left. Candace Owens' family vacation in St. Petersburg, Russia. DOJ scraps Trump's Anti-Weaponization Fund. James Talarico says God is not a Christian. Tom Homan is back, and this time he's ANGRY. This November runoff represents a real chance for conservatives and fed-up independents to reject radical Democrat governance in one of America's biggest cities. Pratt isn't afraid to call out the failures, debate Bass any time, and fight for real change.

Today on The Gist, Mike looks at the LA mayoral race, where Karen Bass is advancing and Spencer Pratt may be too, depending on the late-arriving ballots that will almost certainly inspire totally normal and measured reactions online. Then, Ian Coss talks about Catching the Codfather, his GBH podcast about Carlos Rafael, the larger-than-life New Bedford fish mogul who built an empire on boats, permits, quotas, and a willingness to break the law. Rafael had Scarface memorabilia in his office, a Codfather nickname he loved, and control over a huge chunk of New England's groundfish market. But the story Coss tells is bigger than one colorful crook. It's about the unintended consequences of regulation, the limits of fishery science, and the market-based reforms that helped consolidate an industry they were supposed to save.
