Spencer Pratt, ladies and gentlemen, we were hanging out with Spencer Pratt and his wife Heidi.

Obviously, their Los Angeles royalty. I guess I shouldn't have been smiling like such a goofball because we were standing on the ashes of their home, but they've rolled with it and turned it into something positive. We're rolling with it. and we are ready to fight. And we fought with Spencer Pratt in the early, early days. And I said yesterday, LA is a dark place man and it needs a miracle.

It's the city of angels has gone to hell. Spencer is fighting for his family, his neighbors, and those who want to raise their children in a clean, safe town. It's not Democrat versus Republican. It's good versus evil. It's darkness versus light. He must be the light. And the light must win.

And I've got to tell you, man, There was a lot of winning yesterday. We're going to go through the vote numbers and the vote totals, but let's just begin by saying we've never seen a Republican surge, not in your lifetime or mine, quite like this. We've never seen a breaking of the machine quite like this in California. Republicans are currently in the lead in vote totals, and I'll show this to you. But it comes with a caveat that California is, of course, ready to rig and pick. cheat in every single election. And it enrages me. And we're going to get into it. And we're going to bring you all of Spencer Pratt's victory night speech because again, there are still hundreds of

thousands of ballots to be counted in Los Angeles. There's still millions of ballots to be counted statewide because California, just like they run everything, runs their elections like the third world. And that third world, is seeking to cheat and to steal, to stay in power, as it always does. Trust me, when I say this, when you have a state that is currently building the fastest and most sophisticated AIs, the most sophisticated cars and chips that is leading the way in space exploration, cancer research, medical research, and so on, as so many of the technical pockets of California are. When you are able to solve the single most complicated mathematical equations and scientific problems in mere seconds and diagnose complicated medical conditions in mere seconds with AI, when we are living in an era of unparalleled technological sophistication, and yet California keeps smashing themselves in the nuts with a rock trying to count their votes.

Uca-Booka-Uca. Man, what is the red ball? What is the fiery ball that rises in the sky? Right? Like, they're legitimate cavemen trying to count votes, bang rocks together. It's all a lie.

They're cheating. They're telling us they're going to take weeks to cheat. It's not going to take weeks to count the votes. They already have the votes in. Do you know that they've been voting in California for 90 days? That's when early boats, early ballots, ballot collection can start. You can start mailing in your ballot. Everybody in California gets mail-in ballot.

Do you realize how broken that system is? Even libs are coming out against that system and saying this is trash. Oh, we're the stupid. This is my Karen Bass impression. We can count the ballots. But we are, I'm, you know, I'm enraged by it. We should have no, we shouldn't tolerate.

It's intolerable. How about this? I'm going to show you the total number of ballots in L.A. I'll show you this really funny clip to like set, I want to, I want to like bring the mood back up. But I want to show you this really funny clip. And I'm going to show you the number of ballots that are outstanding. It's like a hundred.

100,000 ballots. And they're telling us it's going to take weeks to count those 100,000 ballots. I looked up this morning how many ballots get counted in the state of Florida last election. It was 9.5 million. They were counted by 7 p.m. We had a result in Florida by 7 p.m. All about 99.9% of ballots were in counted and tabulated by 9 p.m. on election night. But they're telling you that it's going to take weeks to count 100,000 ballots. They could just take the whole. They could just take the homeless people off the streets in LA and give each homeless person one ballot to count. You know, there's 100,000 homeless people currently defecating, urinating on themselves, shooting up super meth in the streets.

You could just hand each one of them a ballot and say count one. That's it. You know, here's your crack pipe for payment. But no. No, no, no, no, no. We got to find secret mystery boxes that have been hidden under the desks. We got to have water pipes burst. We have to have a late dump of ballots.

Oh, they all came in late. Oh, everybody just mailed their ballot the day, you know, right at the day after the weeks after the election. That's when they all mailed their ballot. It just sucks. It's just the way that it is. No, it shouldn't be the way that it is. We should sue. You should sue right now.

I'll bring on Harmeet, Dillon, ladies and gentlemen. I should have demanded that she get booked for this show. We'll see. I don't know if she's doing media right now. But I am sick of the way that are, I'm sick of our country running like the third world. They want to import the third world. They want to import third world expectations into this nation. We should expect the greatest things from this nation.

Banish all media and all people from your lives that tell your kids that they should apologize for being an American. Americans are exceptional. We've always been exceptional. From the pilgrims that got off the boat on the Mayflower and got on their knees and thanked God for safe voyage and passage, barely any of them survived the first winter. Those were exceptional people through Neil Armstrong, through today to Elon Musk. Like we are a nation of exceptionality and they are trying to pull us down. They're trying to pull us back into the Stone Ages where it does take weeks to come. ball as uga booga, ogabuga.

That's what they're trying to do. And why are they doing that? And I think it begs like one really quick explanation here. The reason why they're trying to do this and they're trying to third world eyes, Western nations, is because Western nations are founded on Christian principles. They are founded on Christian excellence. They're founded on societal excellence. And that is uplifting to the human spirit.

it's hard to control. It's hard to predict. It's hard to put restraints on it, as communists are always trying to do, to restrain God's creation. And that's why they bring in people exclusively from non-Christian countries in order to subvert and in order to undermine and to knock the legs out of the excellence of our nations. because those countries do not share in the heritage of space exploration and flight and the internet and high expectations for their public servants. That's why they bring in migrants for places that have no Christianity. Christianity is an exceptionalist religion.

It is an enlightened religion. It seeks to advance and to make better everywhere that it touches. Islam is the exact opposite. There's not a single country that gets better after being conquered by Islam. Go check out the modern day story of Egypt. Egypt used to be a Christian nation, actually, and so many other Christian places.

There isn't. There are ideologies that drag people down into the Stone Age, and then there's ideologies that uplift people with enlightened thought. and concepts of justice, blind justice, freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of association, the original American colonies, the original American states, the vast majority of them required you to be a Bible-believing professing Jesus Christ Christian to serve in public office.

Why? Because they needed continuity of thought for their leaders. 56, 55, 56 founders were Bible-believing Christians. They appealed to God. The Declose of Independence. It's a political document written to a king. No, it's not. It's a prayer. No, it's not. We've been totally lied to. It's a prayer. Go read it. You read it. Go read it. It says, we appeal to the almighty judge of the universe. Well, who's that? They're all Christians, so who are they talking about? Revelation says that that's Jesus Christ. The Declaration of Independence is a prayer. They wrote down a prayer in sent to the king, says this is what we're praying. That's why it mentions God four times in the Declaration of Independence.

But it talks about your creator. No, we're a Christian nation. And actually, the horrors that we see on our street in L.A., the horror, the demonic evil that you feel when you travel to L.A. and we travel to L.A. pretty often, actually, you have to. I think we'll be in California later this month, and we look forward to that. I want to do some work out there. But the horrors you feel in L.A., the darkness is actually the incongruency and incompatibility

of a secularist, narcissistic, atheistic, worldview that is incompatible with the Christian nation and a Christian government. And Christian ethos that built Los Angeles and built our nation. That's what's happening. That's the misalignment. That's why it's so disgusting in L.A. That's why it's so hard to travel down the street and see the filth, the disorder. Cleanliness is close to godliness. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a cleansing moment on MSNBC.

Sorry for the rant there. When an MSNBC reporter heard just that, exactly that. MSNBC reporter had the unenviable task of doing a live shot from the Spencer Pratt victory party last night and got a dose, a red pill, a red enema live on air. Here we go. It's a much more lively vibe. And in very LA fashion, there's now a chopper flying overhead. He's having his party at a mess. Mexican restaurant that he has loved for years.

And there's some Spencer Pratt supporters here who seem in a very good mood. You guys have Instagram, Patriot Wildham. You guys have probably seen the latest batch of polling that just came out, shows him doing pretty well in second place, just 10 points behind Karen Bass. How are you feeling about that? Do you feel really confident that he's going to make it to the runoff? Definitely. He's going to make it to the runoff.

There's a lot of people who already voted for him. They're votes haven't been counted yet. They voted day off the election, old school style. So I think his numbers are going to get better. What is it about Spencer Pratt that you just resonating with you? Because he's speaking out against communism and socialism. And it is real big problem in our cities, especially in L.A. where it's turned to crap. It's not an accident.

They're doing it by design. Karen Bass wants to destroy our cities. And it's nice to see someone like Spencer Pratt. I can simplify it because those buzzwords are like they melt the brains of like left, you know, leaning people. So let's just say, He doesn't want you a human feces to be a part of your life. He doesn't want homeless children outside. Totally.

Thank you. Oh, you do like that. Oh, you ran away. We have talked. We have talked. Okay. We appreciate you. Can I get a shot out of with their own hands?

We appreciate you. We talked a lot about the homelessness. Thank you. All right. I'm going to. I don't appreciate you, ma'am. I got it. Thank you for navigating that so well.

Yes, yes, yes. Thank you. Klein. I thought you'd be better with the cheer. Go. Way to go. Massive cheer. Base, I know this guy. Hey, Elect, we know this dude. We've had this dude on the show. This is the dude who does the impressions of Trump. This is the guy that does the Trump impressions. Robert, isn't it? Isn't that the Jason Scoop? Yeah, okay. We know this guy. We should invite him on the show. Get Jason Scoop on. Hey, Kara, can you, can you reach out to Jason Scoop? See if you can jump on the program. This is my favorite clip of all last night. All right, here we go. Spencer Pratt advances in LA may or runoff. Well, this is a little early to call, sadly. And as much as I want to give you all as many possible white pills as we can, this one, I have to like put a bit of a damn

on it and say that Democrats could still try and rig this thing and they're doing it right now. So this is what we're, we have to stay vigilant. They want us to be euphoric and to act like we won the thing and then they're sneak in and steal it in the dark of night. So we have to stay vigilant and watch every single vote. And you can already see that they're stealing and they're cheating. You can already see it. I'll show you the evidence.

So they're saying that Spencer Pratt has advanced. Here we go. Spencer Pratt advanced to the runoff mayoral election. in L.A. Karen Bass got barely a third of the vote. That's true. Pratt is currently 30% at second place. That's true. Now they're saying he advanced, but did he? Let's go ahead and look at the raw numbers. And let's just refresh here, just in case they've added anything. It's the last refresh. They did just a little bit. Okay, here we go. So there's 63% of the votes in. They've been voting for months. It's been 17 hours since the polls closed,

and they've only counted 63% of the vote. There's a 40% of the votes. There's still 290,000, 300,000 votes remaining. Spencer Pratt is at 151. That's 30%. Karen Bass, in a humiliating first place. And what I mean by that is she's, there's less than 20,000 votes that separate Spencer Pratt from Karen Bass.

Look at that. humiliating. She's at 34%. Central Price at 30%, both of them above 30%. That means both of them should automatically advance to the runoff. Oh, sweet. Steve Hilton can call in? That's awesome.

Can Steve Hilton call in? That would be amazing. All right. Well, let me know. Get his phone card ready. You can call in. Get his phone card ready. Klein, Jamie. Thank you. Awesome, guys. And whenever Steve is on, because Steve Hilton winning in the absolute total overall vote totals yesterday. Here's Steve Hilton's results.

1.4 million votes for Steve Hilton. Xavier Bessera, who isn't real. Nobody knows who he is. Nobody knows what he does. He got 1.2 million votes. No way. There's no way that that happened. I'm going to go out and I'm going to prove it.

I'm going to go out. I'm going to go out and say, let's just go prove that this is a lie. I'm going to go to Democrat areas of California and ask people what a Xavier Baccaria is. What's the Javier Baccarria? It's going to be an amazing bandia on the block. Tom Steyer has spent a billion dollars. He's now spent a total of a billion dollars on his political career. He could barely crack.

He can't even crack 20%. Now, here's the problem. They're still counting. This would be a great result. And I would be, we'd be cheering from the rooftop. We'd be punching the white pill. stinger and tell our fingers bled if this was the end result. But it's not the end result. They still have hundreds of thousands of votes to count, which enrages me and makes me very,

very sad. And so I am cautiously optimistic. The LA Times, of course, doing their job, predictive programming. Hollywood's great at that. L.A. vote count in California. Governor and mayoral race could be painfully slow. Don't expect instant gratification. Oogabuga. What is the ball that rises in the sky? How do we hunt for fish? What is fire? Caveman, California.

They learned what fire was when they burned ballots yesterday, which they did, vandalizing the drop boxes. You know, because that's just how it works in California. So you look at this. There's a bunch of needles and meth on the sidewalk. There's filth in the gutter, these disgusting L.A. sidewalks, sickening L.A. sidewalks, filthiest city in America. And you just go put your vote in a box right there. You just go put it in the box next to the meth needles and the human defecation. It's crazy, bro. Absolutely crazy. Guys, let me know about Steve Hilton. Let me know about Steve Hilton.

I know that we have a packed show today. We have an incredible show, Billy Bush, Alex Marlowe, Steve Hilton, maybe J.S. and scoop. But if Steve Hilton is going to break from his insane schedule and jump in, then I want to go right to him, okay? Nate Silver is a libtart. Nate Silver is king of the libtarts. Nate Silver is this derpy pollster who used to run Vox and now I think works at ABC. Hey there.

I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. If you don't control your money, it controls you. Yeah, you're not in control of your finances and you have to look outside of your yourself to live the life that you want. You're not in control. You're like, like, what is it that you actually want? Money should follow the dreams and goals because sometimes we make the dream and goal the money.

And you've overworked yourself and you've exceeded what you've needed for the actual thing you want. Sometimes we forget, like, what's the actual thing you want? Afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Anyway, like he is a Democrat operative. And even he is crashing out on the way that laws. Angeles and California to do elections. The fact that California elections can't be resolved for weeks is insane and it's not common in other election systems around the world. Like honestly, it's going

to take us several weeks to tell you who won the election is failed state. Shit, sorry. I'm just going to read accurately what he says. We're all adults here. And should be much more stigmatized. I try not to swear. I really do. I get emails every time I curse. I'm not cursing. I'm just reading the guys post. my apologies. We do our best to have a family-friendly show here. But again, adults are talking about adult things, and it's true. It is third world. This is third world. Failed state stuff. The fact that it's tolerated is bad. It's a textbook example of learned helplessness. Gentlemen, nobody was helpless. Last night, Spencer Pratt, giving an incredible, giving an incredible interview. after at his election night party.

Steve Kornacki here on MSNBC or NBC News saying, don't you worry, we might see a flood of Democrat ballots. If Hollywood's good at anything, it's predictive programming. We're going to tell you what's about to happen. Here's the coat. Here we go. It's just going to have to be such a flood of Democratic ballots coming in after, you know, being tabulated after election night or into the wee hours this morning

that would just lift both Democrats over Hilton. That's increasing what it needs to be for Steyer. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's NBC News, saying you'd have to have a miraculous flood of Democrat ballots to lift up these two losers over Steve Hilton. Well, joining us now, right now, live, is the great Steve Hilton. He joins us by phone.

He is the absolute total vote getter, vote winner in absolute terms last night. He is leading the pack. He's at nearly 30% of the vote. Ladies and gentlemen, the man who is turning California red, look at that. Look at how beautiful that is. The great Steve Hilton live right now. Steve, thank you so much for joining us. Do I got you?

Hey, Benny. Yeah, great to be with you. Not a bad night, don't you think? Oh, man. I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud of you. I was just about to play your commentary on the evening. Wait a second. We can get them live. Let's go to that. Okay. So talk. So I'm not sure if you just heard the program. Steve Kornacki is telling the left-wing audiences that the Democrats would need a miracle to try and overtake you. But we just went through the ballot numbers and there are still millions of ballots, 3.8 million ballots that they have yet to count in the race. that makes us a little nervous, Steve. How are you feeling? No, we're feeling good about it, Benny, and we were from pretty early on in the night. We don't think that they can catch up. Look, I may not end up in the number one slot, but really the most important thing is that we are in that general election so we can defeat this Democrat political machine and avoid the absolute doomsday scenario,

which a lot of people were talking about, of two Democrats in the top two in California. Look, I hope that we come out on top. I'm incredibly encouraged by the results that we've seen so far. Nearly 60% already counted. So it's really looking good. And remember, there's a whole other large number of votes out there that went to Chad Bianco, that were Republican votes. So California is voting for change.

I mean, the message that I put on the backdrop of our event last night, and I thought very carefully about it when really planning all that about a week or so ago is change is coming. And I just feel it. I feel that in California, we are done with the insanity, the crime, the chaos, the homelessness, the gender extremism, the cost of everything through the roof, the taxes, the bloat. And you can feel the energy. You see it in L.A. with Spencer. You see it with the fact that I'm leading this race so far. I think we're going to have a real political revolution in California this year. And it really starts. It started last night. I'm literally in the car heading to the airport, heading to Sacramento this morning. I'll be there late during the rest of today. But the real point is we're going to be heading to Sacramento at the start of next year to defeat this Democrat machine and start turning California around.

Steve, we have the vote totals up on screen here for the entire slate of candidates. And it is quite remarkable, actually, if you added Chad Bianco's vote total to you, you'd be ahead by a. country mile. You'd have over two million votes if you added all of the Republican votes from last night. You'd have you'd have an absolute total of two million votes. You'd be winning, walking away with it. Yeah. But look, the thing is, Benny, I just want to say one thing that I know you'll understand. The fact that I've got already nearly one and a half million people who put their faith in me to turn things around in California

as a new American citizen as someone who loves this country so much who's never run for office before and you've got a million and a half people and the number's going to go up thinking yeah you can do this you can help turn the state around it's an unbelievable honor

but also a huge responsibility I really feel that I one of the most everyone asked me last night how are you feeling and truly for most of the night I just felt this enormous sense of relief because I feel such a pressure not to let people down. I'm on the road

the whole time. You know, we've been talking about that on and off ever since the start of the campaign. You were right there with me at the beginning. And the intensity of these conversations I have with people at our events and when I meet people up and down the state, the most common thing that they say to me is you have to win. And that's how they put it. You have to win. There's a sense that we just, we can't go on in this way. And to me, that's a heavy responsibility to make sure we fight a good campaign and one that wins. And the first step of that was getting through to the general election. And so last night, when it really looked for the first time as if we really had made it, I just felt this tremendous sense of relief that I hadn't let everybody down. And I feel like

the next few months are going to be incredibly important. But it looks like we're going to be, going to be up against Havier Becerra, who's the living embodiment of more of the same corrupt, failed, useless Democrat machine. I, Steve, I'm going to talk about at the beginning of the show.

So I'm heading out to California this month. I really hope that we can connect and here's what I want to do. I'm going to wander the streets in the most Democrat districts in the state. I'm going to go to Nancy Pelosi district, right? Right there in San Francisco in the tenderloin.

and I'm going to ask people what a what a Javier Bacaria is. Like, I'm going to ask people. I'm going to go ask Democrats, what is a Javier Bacera? I believe that no one will even be able to know what his name is. I think that his name ID and who, that this is so fake, like I've never seen anything more astroturf. Steve. This guy isn't real. This is pure machine voting.

Yes. Yes. And no Democrat will be able to tell me. what a Javier Bacaria is. I'll use his real name. I'll be polite enough to use actual preferred pronouns, and I'll say, what is Javier Bacera? Tell me one thing about Javier Bacera,

and no one will tell me anything. That's what I believe. I think you're completely right. And you know the fakeness and the machine aspect of it really struck me actually quite far into the night in a little bit this morning. I've been doing some of the morning TV shows here in California, and they've been playing clips of his speech last night.

And it was so interesting watching him, reading from a teleprompter, very weird kind of political language in that way that seems so fake these days. In the era of Donald Trump and Spencer Pratt and, you know, I would put myself in the same category in the sense of not having a script. I've never sort of read off a prompter. We just sort of speak to people and just use normal language and tell the truth. And yet you have this guy who was reading out some script that was written for him. It all seemed so fake and phony and just captured for me exactly why I think we can beat him, because this machine that has been running California and running California into the ground now has its puppets. He's the perfect candidate for them.

He'll do exactly what they tell him, the unions, the activists, all the people who've run this corrupt machine. But I don't think it's going to work because it just feels so fake and ridiculous. Steve, I have on screen here the state as it stands right now, and it looks like you won dozens of counties. The state looks like it's been painted red, with the exception of very small pockets on the coast. It's an incredible image. What does this say about the state of California? Is the state of California ready to flip red?

Yeah, I mean, that's why those words change is coming, which my wonderful, for supporters last night were chanting, just feels real. And actually, in some of the counties that you wouldn't expect, I mean, I don't know exactly where we are on, for example, Napa County. Last night, we were winning Napa County, which is considered to be a Democrat enclave. And I think that people are ready. And the argument that I've been making is very similar to the kind of positive,

practical focus on working people, small businesses that we first saw, with President Trump all the way back in 2015, which is one of the reasons that I supported him so early because he was speaking to something that the elites have missed, which is regular working people who are the backbone of this country, and here in California too, have just been so badly let down by establishment policies.

And you've got that changing across the country, but not in California, because it's been the same elite establishment machines. And the elitists who push their insane and extreme climate agenda, for example, even though it means that regular working Californians are paying, you know, $2 more for gas than anyone in the rest of the country to make them feel good as if they're saving the planet. But they're not saved. They're not doing anything except punishing working people. It doesn't even help with their own environmental agenda because as a result of their climate extremism. We're importing most of our oil and gas, spewing out carbon emissions.

from the tankers that are shipping it from Iraq and South Korea and India. It's insane. And I think pointing out the absurdity of these policies that the machine has been pushing for so long is going to be a big reason why we beat them. I have the Napa County totals zoomed in here, Steve. You are right now with 50% in winning Napa County. This is where Nancy Pelosi has a mansion. You're winning Sacramento, Steve, right now with 50% in. Obviously, these things can change, but what a result, Steve. It's incredible. You've won Napa and Sacramento.

And you're- I'm so sorry, I lost your sound. I don't know if you can hear me. I'm afraid I couldn't hear you back then. Oh, yeah, yep. Can you hear me now, Steve? Again, Steve is traveling. I can't hear anything.

I'm so sorry. Oh, okay. All right. Steve, we're going, yeah, that's a shame. Let's go ahead and pop Steve. Like, let's go ahead and see if we can get Steve back. Can you hear me at all? Steve?

Nope. I understand. Perhaps we can, guys, we can connect. Let's connect with Steve one more time offline. We have a stacked show. We're going to refresh. Let's just see really quickly if we can get Steve back on because I don't want to lose him. Again, these are incredible results.

And then we're going to jump over to talk to Billy Bush about the L.A. mayoral race that has changed the changed the world, frankly, yesterday. And will it hold? That's what is most important. Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to make sure, I just want to make sure that, let's see if Steve is back. Steve, are we back right now? Let's go ahead and pop it on.

I just want to say, again, thank you to Steve and his team for joining the show and hopping on. Hey, Steve. Do I got you? Yeah, I'm back now. I don't know what I'm there, but I can be loud and clear. We could hear the sirens in the background, so it's just California stuff, man. They're coming to get me.

They don't like the idea of Republican governor. All right, Steve, real fast, real fast here. Look at this on screen right now. You're winning Sacramento County. You're winning Napa. You're winning Napa County right now with 50% of the vote in. You're winning Napa. You're winning Sacramento.

Incredible. And I mean, is this a sign of things to come that Steve Hilton wins Sacramento? Well, that is the, that's the big idea that we take over the government. I'm heading there right now. I haven't seen that. That's very cool. Excited to see that. I don't know. Something is happening in California. You see it in my race. You see it with Spencer in L.A. We are done with it. And I think, do not sure, I think the really big part of it is this fraud story that you've been such a big part of, Benny, because it's one thing to make all the political argument.

that we make the whole time about, you know, what's going wrong with this or that policy. But there's something that hits you in the gut about this fraud story, which is that people work so hard and they take so much of our money with their insane taxes that are the highest in the country. And then when you find out what they've been doing with our money, it just gets people so enraged. I really believe it's a big part of the revolution that we're going to see this year in California. So can you talk to me about a governorship that actually counts votes on election night? That's the thing that is taken over my timeline.

People are enraged. And they're just saying, why would you take a state that leads in so many other technological and scientific sectors that is advancing AI and space travel and compute and in medicine? And we live in the most sophisticated and marvelous and wonderful time. And you count your votes like lobby. atomized cavemen. Why? What's going on? Because this is complete. This is what happens when you have a party that's in power for so long. There's no accountability. No one pushes back on them. It's just one party rule so they feel they can get away with insane things. And no one challenges it. So you had the Secretary of State, Shirley Weber, who's in charge of our elections in California, two days ago going out on the media and bragging about how long it was going to take. Now, all we have to be, and it could take weeks. What?

What are you talking about? I mean, do you just compare it with Florida or the other states, all of whom, by the way, have early voting? There's nothing to do with that. But you get results on election night, like normal places. You had even Nate Silver, I noticed, commenting that this is, his quote, I think, was, this is failed state stuff. And that's exactly right.

And it's exactly what you expect from people who've delivered high-speed rail, $200 billion over budget, 30 years late. I mean, this is just another monument to their uselessness. Steve, if for some horrific reason, I know that you are very sunny side of the street, this is just the way that God made you, you couldn't run in this race if you didn't have a chip on your shoulder and a stiff upper lip and the ability to see what could be in California. But let's say that they are planning on stealing this from you. sue? I mean, what will be your action if suddenly there are ballot dumps that go 100% for Xavier or for Tom?

No, we're going to be all over it. We're not going to let them do that. The state wants change. And actually, so far, we're not seeing any signs of that. It is true that you get these late deliveries of ballots, because we've got this unbelievable rule that the ballots can arrive seven days after election day and still be counted. By the way, the Supreme Court is considering the case that's going to make that illegal. We're very confident that by November, that insanity of voting seven days after election day effectively will be ruled illegal nationwide. So that's one of the reasons.

So we're definitely keeping an eye on it. But right now, our sense is that even if you do get that kind of effect, it's not going to be enough to kick us out of the top two. slots and so we're feeling very confident about that right now. You're heading to, you're heading to Sacramento today. Yes. What I just want a vision cast here? What do you have planned when you get to Sacramento with the governor's pen?

What are the first day agenda items? What let's galvanize the base one more time? Because now comes the push into November, right? What will happen when Steve Hilton is in that chair? Well, the first executive order I actually published it the other day. And it's going to be to set up a taxpayer fraud strike force, which is a powerful team to immediately investigate and prosecute what we estimate is $425 billion worth of fraud waste and abuse over the past five years, including criminal negligence, if warranted, on the part of Gavin Newsom, Rob Bond to the Attorney General and any other official. because remember, they were told about the fraud year after year by state agencies in California. For example, the state auditor reporting on $24 billion of homelessness fraud for years.

And Newsom and Bonter and these people did nothing about it. So we're going to be making sure that on day one we get that going. We're going to have accountability, including criminal accountability, if the evidence shows it. We're going to start by investigating and gathering of that evidence. But the real point, of course, on top of that, is to make sure we start doing the things that people desperately need. Cut your costs, help your business, fix our schools. It's a combination of the budget that I sent to the legislature, including my tax plans. For example, your first 100 grand tax-free, implementing no tax on tips in state taxes, which has happened most other states, but not California.

Capping vehicle registration, which they used to completely gouge us for many, California's, it's hundreds of dollars a year, even over a thousand, where in most states, it's under 100. Very simple, practical things to cut people's costs and reduce the bloat and bureaucracy in our government. I just want to say a final thank you on behalf of our audience, Steve, for ending the careers of Eric Swalwell, who got less than 0.04% of the vote last night. Those are probably mail-in ballots that were already mailed before he dropped out of the record. And Katie Porter, who now can throw hot potatoes in peace at whatever baldhead she's looking at at the current moment. Katie Porter getting less than 5% of the vote last night.

Yeah, I don't think there'll be much peace in her household. I don't know we want to be within throwing distance this morning when you see those numbers. Godspeed, Steve. Everybody follow Steve Hilton, obviously. here's his social media. He's the man on a mission, the absolute total all-out winner last night with the total vote percentage right now with 64% recording and reporting. Ladies and gentlemen, the great Steve Hilda. Godspeed, man. I'm so proud of you. I'm just so proud of you. I really appreciate it. Lowe, I'm so happy we could speak this morning. As I said, you were there at

the beginning, and it's wonderful to be with you today. Thank you. God bless you, Steve. Thank you. Thank you. See you. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have on deck. Billy Bush.

Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Bush joining the show right now from Los Angeles. Let's go. Billy, what's going on, man? Nice to have you on the program. Any longtime first time? Or what do they say? Thank you for having me, my friend. That's right.

Long time listener, first time caller. That's right. Okay. So talk to me about beautiful. You have a beautiful L.A., man. You must have a nice house. That's a great window. That's a great shot of the city behind you.

That's beautiful. Isn't that a great AI graphic? Do not widen this lens, Betty. You'll be very different. It's like that commercial with Michael Chey and Colin Jost. You know, we're live at the event. And then the janitor opens the closet and they're sitting in front of the green screen. I'm in a funny little area in Van Nuys, which is sort of an industrial section of the San Fernando Valley in a big warehouse with my own space in it owned by.

Howie Mandel. No way. He's my landlord. He's my, I have to hand him a check every month. You have such, we had Dean Kane on yesterday, and he said, you have no idea how many celebrities and how many people in the movie industry and how many people that are connected to Hollywood are secretly voting for Spencer Pratt. Is that true, Billy? I mean, I don't, I mean, I really, more than you would imagine, I mean, David Foster and Catherine McPhee had a, fundraiser for Spencer. Doug Ellen, the creator of entourage, is, you know, risking, I guess

risking his career by supporting someone other than the established entrenched candidate, which would be Karen Bass. Yeah, I think it's, I don't know if it's still considered bold or dangerous or risky to think for yourself, but it has to be a little, but maybe less, maybe less now. I mean, I went to Spencer's party last night, the results party, which, by the way, I have to remind myself, like, we don't get results, okay? It goes on for days, and we have to wait for, you know, the ballots that have been, you know, stamped and postmarked and, you know, on time. And, you know, who knows what happens in that time.

But I wish it was where you could have a party and a speech and it would be over. But he did a good thing over Don Antonio's on Pico Boulevard, which is a legendary Mexican restaurant, and Adam Carolla was there. Jenny McCarthy was there, and Val Chimerikovsky of Dancing with the Stars was there. And as I said to the media out front, Jimmy Kimball was there.

And they were like, wait, what? I said, you know, I saw a guy in a mustache that looked a little like Jimmy. Wouldn't that be nice? But more importantly, when I went to the polls myself, I voted on vote. I like to go. election day. And I had more people come up to me and say, you know, I'm voting for Spencer

Pratt. And as we headed into this, he was three points behind Nithia Raman. Like it was 28 for, you know, Karen or 30 for Karen and 25 for Nithia Raman. That's a councilwoman, no one's ever heard of. 22% for Spencer. So he was in third place. But all these people were coming up to me, like whispering, you know, a guilty pleasure. And I said, yeah, I don't know. And, and by, and, By the way, I remember listening to Mark Halperin. I'm so disappointed, Mark. He used to be able to predict these things so well. Mark said he peaked.

He's not going to be able to pull it off. He outperformed even more than I thought he would. And he's looking right now, they just did another update, Benny. I got 34.8%. According to NBC News, Benny, and you know they're never wrong. 34.8% for Karen Bass. 30.4. That's a four and a half point difference.

Spencer in second. and Nithia Rahman back at 22.3. So with 63% of the expected vote in, it looks like Spencer is heading to a runoff with Karen Bass in November. You don't think there's going to be any funny business because it's a, I mean, it's outrageous. I don't know about that.

I mean, you know, you've, there's all sorts. I don't want to sew. I really don't want to sew unnecessary. But this is, this is an unnecessary doubt in our election system? I don't. But it's Los Angeles. It's deeply entrenched. You've got, you know, the unions are very strongly behind Karen Bass. That's a powerful group. Of course, different voting blocks that have always been there. Is there, there's always been this rumor of this one lady who like holds, you know, hundreds of thousands of ballots. And you have to go in like an old mafia thing.

You gotta go and like both parties have to come. And she's actually not, you know, a partisan person. She's mythical. I don't know if she exists, but she's in Englewood, they say. And you go to her place and you're like, here's what we got. Give us your big, you know, harvest of ballots. I don't know. I don't know.

I would worry about it. But I think there is enough of a difference between Spencer and Nithia that if someone was going to rip this off, it would be risky and certainly noticed. Oh, yeah, I mean, you'd be downright criminal. There doesn't seem to be any, same thing with the governor's race. Like, nobody knows what a Xavier Baccaria is. Nobody knows what that is. Nobody's sure.

Joe Biden doesn't know how to pronounce the guy's name. Joe Biden doesn't know how to pronounce his own name. I mean, you got to give him a break on that. We'll get into, if you want, the Jill Biden stuff is crazy. But here in, here in L.A., I mean, look, this is incredible that this morning, it even closer than when I left last night. I left it last night at about six, seven points. And now it's four and a half the difference between Spencer and Karen Bass.

What does a runoff look like for L.A.? Because this is the first time, you know, this is the first time you've had an insurgent candidate like this, you know, from completely outside in L.A. in a very long time. What does it look? What does that runoff look like? Richard Reardon was the, was when the last time Los Angeles was in total disarray, Richard Reardon showed up on a white horse

and galloped in and saved the city. Yeah. You know, and Karen's, Spencer is definitely very many, three months ago, I didn't think he had a chance. I mean, this is what he has managed to do. I've known Spencer, Pennie, let's talk about the fact that I've known this guy.

forever. I used to be the intrepid reporter from Access Hollywood, the entertainment news world, internationally renowned Access Hollywood. And I had, you know, Spencer Pratt from the, from the moment he emerged, I was with him, not to mention Donald Trump, by the way. I was there for all of it. He, but, you know, the guy was, he was definitely, you know, a villain and a hack in a fun sort of, you know, he loved manipulating the media. And I love the fact that now people are saying he can't evolve. Jimmy Kim, I mean, I like Jimmy. I think he's kind of funny sometimes.

I know your audience can't stand the guy. I do think he does it creatively. But the fact that he evolved from the naughtiest little frat boy on the man show to a great liberal bastion of elitism on his late night show. Why can't Spencer Pratt become a 42-year-old grown-up male who loses his house, has kids? He's furious to see the city he grew up in, dilapidated all around him. Why is he not allowed to evolve and grow up and become the mayor of Los Angeles? In my America, he absolutely can.

Can we talk about Jimmy Kimmel really quickly because we were just filming outside of Jimmy Kimmel's studio a couple months ago? And I could not believe the state of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was the filthiest, most disgusting, weed smelling, piss smelling, human defecation, people ODing right there on top of stars. Right across from Jimmy Kimmel's show, it says Jimmy Kimmel, the Jimmy Kimmel show on the old Masonic Lodge. And across the street is this like flea market, tent city, homeless encampment that nobody's clearing out. Nobody seems bothered by. It was filthy, Bill. You'd think if there's one person who would actually like really came.

about this. It would be the guy who has to do his show right in the middle of it. Yeah, well, he goes, he goes in the back and, you know, hopped out of the SUV. I don't think he's ever seen the front. Wow. Maybe we should send him a picture. No, he, yeah, I'd look, that's what Spencer ran on. I mean, that's, that's really the heart of his, of his message, which is, I love L.A. L.A. is beautiful. We should not be in debt here. We should not have crap all over the streets. Touring. is that people want to come to Hollywood. Where is Hollywood? Where's production? Where's the movie business?

Where's, you know, people used to come to Hollywood Boulevard and just, and ride in the tour buses and love, you know, seeing the lore and hearing the stories. And it's a romantic city with, you know, an amazing history and heritage. And now, yeah, it looks like shit, frankly, when you drive around. And Spencer Pratt is telling, you know, he's a appealing to moms, feeling to women in a major way. You know, we're seeing what's going on, what your kids are seeing. You know, that's, that can, that can stunt a child to see, you know,

meth heads on the street, you know, fornicating or doing whatever they're doing and encampments all over the place. It's scary, you know, it makes him feel insecure. He's appealed very nicely to moms. He's a good communicator, Benny. He's communicated all of this crap that you're talking about. about to people very, very well. I said to the media last night and there's Grum, I said, look, guys, you know, next to Spencer's name. I know people want to claim him and call him, you know,

he's not really belongs to, I mean, you and I know he's at least center of right, but, you know, he's got the name community organizer next to him. And I said to the media, when's the last time a community organizer showed up to a large group of people? and sold this idea of hope and change. You know, Barack Obama. So there you go. And that's what he is, community organizer,

organizing his community because it's in disarray. And it all starts with, you know, losing his home. And that pissed him off. And it got him on, he's a very good investigator. He started looking into stuff. And then one thing leads to the next.

We're living in a city that can't explain. where $2.3 billion in homelessness funding went. No, not saying it was all stolen, just saying, can we have an accounting, please? He's pitching a system where we can see how much money's coming in, where is it going, how do we account for all of this, let people see where their dollars are going.

We have no excuse to be a billion dollars in debt every year. This is beautiful L.A. It is a beautiful city. It's the city of angels. It's gone to hell. We really hope that Spencer wins. I know that you have a heart out here, Billy. And so we'll let you do your, we'll let you to your TV hit in your beautiful penthouse overlooking the city here. But a final, but maybe like a final quick. I don't want to show you the encampment right here. Just real quick before you go, what's your, what's your, what's your overall? under what are your odds in the november election uh i think and this is uh i think that karen bas is in a one-on-one with spencer pratt i don't think she's going to be able to handle him i think he

had incredible energy i think he was ability to communicate he's got grassroots people putting up these incredible videos in this momentum people care about their city and i don't think she's got an answer for it she's trying to still a record that doesn't exist homeless this is down 17 and a half percent. I could get into the weeds with you on how they account for that. It's very creative. It's not true. Maybe it's down one percent after spending billions that, you know, the money doesn't match the results. But I think he's got too much ability to communicate creativity and hope and positive. He's a positive guy. And I don't think she can handle him. I think she's going to see how do I respond to, like many candidates in 2016, who did

know how to respond to Trump. They just had never seen anything like this. It's a bit similar to that. Benny, before I go, I do want to say one thing. There's an very important race that happens one week from today, and that is in Maine running for governor. My brother, my older brother, Jonathan Bush, is running for governor, and he's super close at the top for the Republican nomination. Go, Johnny B. I can't imagine a smarter guy. He founded Athena Healthcare, Benny, which is one of the biggest healthcare companies in this world. He's put a thousand jobs in Maine. He's a smart, smart guy. And there you go. I had to get the pitch in for my bro. Well, there it is. And I, you know, Kara's on and watching and she's the booker. And so let's get him on the show. I'd love to

chat with him. Push on the show, Benny. He, I promise you, you'll never meet a smarter guy quicker, more intelligent, more with a deep plan. We love Maine and the Kenny Bunkport and all of, I mean, obviously, like, that's what, it's one of the, this side of California, I'd argue, is one of the most naturally gifted beautiful states, actually in the entire country. The Hot Mike's podcast that I do every day will be done for Maine for two months. I will go shortly and go up to, for salvation, baby, for quality of life and beautiful man.

I cannot wait. My man. I can't imagine a more different landscape going from down, going from Van Nuys to Maine. Good for you, dude. Well, I mean, there's certain areas of Maine that need uplifting. That's right. In the middle of the ocean. My man.

God bless you. Thank you so much. Godspeed, Billy. Follow Billy right here on social media. You have his account up and his podcast up. And thank you for your insights today, man. Thanks, Benny. Appreciate it.

Thanks for having me. I hear some reports about audio popping there. You know, every single time, yeah, yeah, every single time, yeah, we're just going to work. We're just going to, we're working. It's a live show and everybody has a different setup. And so we're working on our end to try and limit that as much as possible. And sometimes it just, sometimes it's just, there's no real good fix. But we'll have a call about that after the program.

We have to, we have to have better clarity on, uh, compromise. Because it's really just when you hear something like that, when you hear the mic popping, it's just a plug that's not fully plugged in to a camera or a switchboard. And it's just, it's typically very easy, simple setting fixes. And so we're just kind of have to work. Yeah, it's totally, it's not our setup. It's Billy's set up. And it sounds like he's just getting settled in the studio. And we understand what that's like.

But anyway, thank you, chat for sticking with us on that. Speaking up, where is the chat? Hold on. Thank you. There you go. Goodness. I want to have the chat up on screen. We just keep the chat up on screen when we're doing interviews.

We've got to do that. We're just going to keep the chat up on screen. We love the chat. We thank you for being here. We were so thrilled to have brought you Steve Hilton live. And we're just going to keep the chat up on screen. I'm making that ruling. I'm making that ruling now from now on.

And then the chat can tell us what's up with the audio. We check people in. We try and do tests with them. But, you know, sometimes there's no way to tell and you just go live and everything goes the way that it does. Thank you again for rolling with us. Roll with advantage gold. Advantage gold can make sure that you are locked in and diversified into precious metals. Gold has been on a generational tear.

Yeah, okay, good. Oh, that's wonderful. Some people are commenting that there were no audio issues as they were watching. Thank you very much, Molly Austin from Facebook for commenting on that. And again, we apologize.

It's our best. The audio is fine. No swearing. I apologize. Somebody swore in a tweet and I read the tweet. I can do better. I can do better.

My apologies. We try not to swear on the show. It is an adult show. But like, you know, we try not. It's also family-friendly. You should be able to watch this show in front of your kids. So I don't want to, I don't want to. I don't want to curse in front of my kids.

And so, yeah, I was reading a tweet. We'll be as, we'll be as good as we possibly can be on that. We bleep when we can and we rock and we roll. And today, ladies and gentlemen, we're rocking with Alex Marlowe. I'm just checking in, guys. Alex Marlowe, ready to go from Bright Bart News. somebody who started Breitbart with Andrew Breitbart in Los Angeles. He's from Los Angeles.

Alex Marlowe is a little bit of a legend in space, as was his mentor, Andrew Breitbart, who would be loving this Spencer Pratt race right now. Let's bring in Alex Marlowe to chat about it. Alex, how are you doing, man? I'm doing great, Benny. Thanks for the great intro. Thanks for shouting out of Andrew. And I totally agree with you.

He would be having an absolute blast. He would be. I mean, this is like, this is absolute. Rebellion, and a beautiful story. The people of Hollywood understand the power of a narrative arc and a hero's arc and an origin story. Isn't this like the perfect origin story for Spencer Pratt? I mean, I love it.

He's using the media in such an effective way. You know this. You're a super expert in messaging. And this is where he was born for this. He says this he's not joking about it. If you look into how he started the Hills and the Hills was his idea, which is a legendary reality show. this is not just pre-instagram, this is pre-Twitter.

And he's coming up with a way for people, for him and his friends to get him and his friends to get paid to go out to eat. And he does this because he knew David Foster, who's a legendary producer in, you've all heard a thousand of his songs. And he was good friends with Brody Jenner, Caitlin Jenner's son, who's super handsome model, charismatic guy. And he says, I got this cool friend group. Can we follow them around with a camera and turn them into a TV show?

And it didn't start a TV show. It started a whole revolution, a whole phenomenon. Spencer Pratt is a super bright human being who understands the media landscape. And that's why, on a shoestring budget with no organization, he's been able to give people in LA hope for five minutes. What does hope look like when it comes to the next 100,000, well, actually, $290,000 to be exact ballast that need to come in? Do you believe, and this is our main concern that over the next couple weeks, they're going to be ripping suit? cases out from under tables, water pipes are going to burst, Alex. You know what I mean? And they will. And that's why I want to have a celebratory day because the numbers look good.

But overall, this is the thing we have in the state, which is completely insane and completely absurd. But any ballot that is marked in the mail by election day gets counted. So you can get them seven days late. And the canvassers are only allowed, they can do, you have up to 30 days. to count the ballots. So, Benny, conceivably, we're not going to have a clear answer for 30 days. I like this, though.

Yes. July. We have to wait until July. Conceivably, yes. But the good news is that the margin between Pratt and Rahman has me feeling pretty good. I had it marked as 7% was the most they could cheat. And he's up eight as of now.

So not impossible. But this would be historic levels of cheating. If they could, and it is cheating. That's what it is. They cheat. That's what they do. That's a whole point of why this is like this, is to ensure the Democrats win. The Democrats hate democracy.

They don't want a Democratic election because that makes them vulnerable because people who are established politicians lose. Consider this, that Karen Bass, who is the incumbent mayor, incumbents never get under 50% in LA, is under 35% with 63% reporting. And then you've got a guy who is not only reality TV star

was a gem salesman. Spencer Pratt made most of his money selling gemstones. And now he's here. at 30%. This could be the beginning of a revolution. It really could be. Now, it's a long road to hoe.

I'll give you the bad news. The bad news is still voter registration gap in LA is overwhelmingly favors Democrats. The unions run this town and they're completely behind Bass. And all of these third, fourth, fifth place people are all left wing people.

So as far as we know, only 30% of people pulled the trigger for a Republican yesterday. And that's not going to be enough come November. but it is enough to give us hope, give us some excitement and give us a path

to at least talk about key issues that we need to in the city that has been completely destroyed from two decades of Democrat rule. I just don't know if you're going to be able to convert, though, the hardcore leftists that hate the Democrat Party

like in a different way, but maybe as much as you and I might. Yeah. You know, it's like, I'm not sure that those people are going to convert for Karen Bass. They might not vote. They might write in Nikki Rahman.

They might write in you know, Bernie Sanders, but they're, they're going to show up and vote for Tom Steyer. I don't think they'll go and like vote for Karen Bass. I don't, they hate her, right? And they hate in waters and they, they hate these people like for a different reason. But still, I don't think it's going to convert into, I don't think it's like a one to one. No. Or like bad Bianco voters will probably vote for Steve Hilton.

I don't think it's going to translate. Maybe I'm wrong. No, and this is, this is where you're charting a path. So, and Spencer Pratt's message discipline has been beyond belief he's a consultant's dream because all he's talking about is homelessness, drugs, crime, and the city burned down. He's not talking about MAGA stuff. Benny, you know, I'm OG MAGA. I was there on day one. I was there before the escalator. I'm a MAGA guy through and through. But if you're going to win this city, which is all liberal Democrats, he has to get liberal Democrats to come out and vote for him. It can't just

be Republicans. He's got to stay on, I'm just going to put the bad guys in jail. I'm going to get the bums off the street. And then I'm going to get the drugs out of the parks. Like, that's all I'm going to do. If he keeps saying that, then some of these people who are conscientious objectors to Kieran Bass, even though they might be registered Democrats, he might be able to pull enough of them off. And so that's the thing is that I'm afraid all these Democrat voters who didn't go for Bass are going to just end up defaulting to Bass because she's a Democrat. That's the worst case scenario. But the best case scenario, they'll never vote for her again because she was in charge and in Ghana when the city burned down. Yes. So you're saying that it could have,

you're saying there's a chance. That's it. It's just a chance. And look, if I'm putting money in the prediction market. I'm not betting big, but I'll tell you at a minimum, we're going to have five months of very meaningful conversation. And again, all we can ask for is a chance. This is L.A., Benny, after all. I mean, people have written off, this is one of the things that frustrates me so much. You know, Breitbart start out of L.A., Prager You, Daily Wire, so many of your favorite outposts in conservative media started in L.A. This is where a lot of conservative thought incubates. and so much of the country, so much the conservative movement, completely wrote us off, which is why I'm happy you're having an upbeat conversation about this today, because,

look, we know the truth. We know it's very hard, and L.A. is probably not salvageable. But when you get a high-quality people, Steve Kilton is the best character. He's a high-character person. Javier Bacera is a machine politician. Tom Starr was a freak. He's a guy who made money in hedge funds trying to buy elections and thinks the number one priority needs to be more men beating women in sports.

we should not embrace that ever. We should have to make no excuses. We fight that through and through the very end. I do find it kind of fascinating that I think that California has been insulated from the gas prices conversation. Yeah. Because people are so used to paying $7 gas. I was out there a year ago and it was $7 gas. A year ago.

Always. So it's like it's a very, it's very peculiar incubator because they've so, they've so completely screwed themselves with this gas. You know, that would be probably one of the biggest arguments right now is a 14. Well, things haven't been affordable in California for three decades. Yeah, exactly. We've had $7 gas. And it's what it is out here. That's what we say.

So we have gas because Trump all of a sudden decided invade Iran. It's not a super strong argument. But what is interesting is that the same problems we've had for the entire time, look, I just turned 40. I've been in L.A. 32 of those years. And I'm sorry, I've been in California, 32 of those years. I went to college in the Bay Area. worst traffic in the world,

worse airports in the world, homelessness, illegal aliens ruin the school system and the healthcare system. There's graffiti, the reservoirs are empty, the crackheads run the beaches. All this has never changed.

It's the same problems. It's why everyone makes fun of us. Maybe this is the year where people say, you know what, the status quo is just not acceptable anymore. So, zooming out to the governor's race,

we had Steve Hilton on. What do you think, man? I mean, you know, he's super upbeat. about it. He's winning in the absolute vote right now and the total vote. And I think Democrats are a really tough position. Like what are they going to like what are you going to do here? You have these guys like none of them are electric. All of them are real a broken vessels, frankly. I mean, Tom Seyer's like you nobody gets behind Tom Sawyer. Joe Biden doesn't know the name of Zobby or

Baccaria. What is like what like what do you think there's enough, do you think there's enough machine votes? Do you think there's not machine votes? Great, great, great callback. I'd forgotten that one. I'd forgot the Javier Baccaria. That's right. That's who he is. He was the worst of Biden's horrible cabinet secretaries, which is really saying something. So this is what's interesting about I've been very negative since I was in college Republicans over two decades ago about the state party in California, completely incompetent group of people. And Steve Hilton is upbeat enough and high energy enough where I feel like he's going to be able to amount a pretty serious charge.

But what you identified is Democrats are truly horrible. I mean, these are all retards who are in their race. The only person who might not be a retard is Katie Porter, who is the least likable human being on Earth. Not just politician, just human being. The person you'd least like to get a beer with on the planet is Katie Porter. And definitely the least likely person you would want to get a bowl of mashed potatoes with because you probably dump them on your head.

Smash it. Yeah, yes, right. Yeah, it's like a scene out of it. of the departed. That's what happened. So what's fun about the race, of course, Steve Hilton, wonderful guy and great. And I do think that he'll convert the Bianco voter. So I think he's going to pick up, you know, 10, 11 points right away.

And can the Democrats blow it with the fact that they have a really dumb person, probably the top of the ticket in Bacera? But again, remember, Benny, they're going to have votes for a month here, too. So it doesn't mean it's locked in. They could still steal it. But if they don't steal it in a month, and if Bacera versus Hilton, We're going against a massive state party machine. This is a machine state that explains the rise of Newsom, who's no record, Kamala Harris,

who is no brain. All these people came from the Democrat machine in California, which is very, very powerful and very strong. And we have no machine on the right, nothing. We've nothing working for us. So it's going to take a semi-miracle, but at least it gets the important conversations on the table if a Republican is there. And perhaps because of the Democrat incompetence and how horrible.

They're branded. Their brand is so bad with young people, too, Benny. We don't really know where this is going to go. And that's the best case scenario for California. That's why Breitbart would love this is because the machine is the internet. The machine is the people. The machine has been the AI ads for Spencer Pratt. That's right. The machine has been the memes. They've been able to break the machine. We've been able to break the machine in an insurgency and in a revolutionary capacity in California. It's like awesome. That's what's so exciting about all of it, I guess. And what's so. What's so dangerous for what you just mentioned? Yeah. Like, yeah, what's so dangerous for Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom who are the number one and number two prediction market, you know, 2028 front runners? And it's hard to really see a lot can happen. But it's hard to really see any other Democrat challenging them is what happens if they lose their base of support. Like what happens if California inexplicably flips red in one city or the state?

You know, this is like this is devastating. to the already broken legacies of these two. Yeah, I think that the Democrat brand is so ruined with younger people. I'm not saying the Republicans have been able to thread the needle to be able to appeal to them. But these are getable people. These are people who are very bummed out about the cultural contagion of a lot of online cultures with the trans stuff, with the constant woke stuff, with the social media addiction. I think a lot of this stuff has left people, I think,

rethinking some of this perception that the Democrats have a monopoly on the culture and they have monopoly on what is really normalcy. That was how it was sold, particularly when I was growing up in L.A. Is that just Republican, bad, Democrat, good. I think that's being really rejected. Now, I don't think necessarily Republicans have seized the opportunity. They haven't seized the moment. I know you've been trying as hard as anyone, Benny, to try to do that, try to step into the breach.

A few people, Charlie Kirk, of course, comes to mind who tried to do. do that. These people are getable. There's younger people out there who can be reached with the correct messenger. And that's where you see people like Steve Hilton, sort of an outside the box messenger. And of course, Spencer Pratt, these are the exact type of vessels we need to be trying out right now as a movement. Spencer Pratt, man. I mean, that is, it is remarkable. Billy Bush on is like, he reminds me of Obama and Trump. It's like, you know, you're right, actually. Community organizer plus reality TV star plus like very magnetic and the cameras just love the guy and I don't know how I mean he's just so good he's so good in these answers like he's just such a natural and I've hung

out with the guy and his burned down home and I saw it early on I was like man if if if this guy if the internet got behind this guy yeah then he would crush because Karen Bass is so dumb I mean she's really truly a caveman well and she's got she's got a media sensibility, which is very effective, because she looks like your lovable grandma. And the fact that she's a DEI person is obviously that plays well in a city that's incredibly diverse. And it plays well with Democrats, reminds people, it definitely gives her a leg up. I'm just being real about that. It's just a fact. And so she actually has her own way of manipulating the media because she's always smiling. It's the she's always trying to reassure.

you even though nothing is going well. Like the Joker. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. So, but you're what spent, the reason why I started the conversation with the start of the hills, Benny, which is what I think is so interesting, is that he's always been a savant in media.

He's always understood this. And if he can translate the media energy to actual voters in LA, that's what remains to be seen. He did very well yesterday. But he's got to step up somehow. He's got to find another level if he actually wants to win. But we're hopeful. And that's the best case scenario in LA right now is just merely some hope from a guy who can

talk about issues in a way that introduces them to new people. Let me shout out Billy Bush. Billy Bush had this interview with Doug Ellen, who ran the show Entourage, which is the biggest love letter to L.A. this century and a total male fantasy and it was a total blast. And I was in high school and college when it was out in L.A. and it was just, you know, it was perfect for just what it was, perfect piece of art. He was talking to Billy Bush and he was talking about how he's been on the sidelines politically his whole life. He's off the sidelines now. He's voting for Pratt.

And getting those type of people, people who really have sway in the culture to come out. Now, granted, he is a rich guy, though. And a lot of rich guys, they could stay. A lot of people who are not rich had to leave because it's too expensive. And I'm worried about that too. But again, hope. That's the word of the day. Hope. All right. Let's take that word. Let's reappropriate that word, right? They took it from us 20 years ago, and we can take it back. Let's make the Hope poster, Special Pratt, that's the word, from the man who carries forward the legacy of Andrew Breitbart, who would just, it's just smiling down from heaven watching this happen in L.A. Very missed right now, Charlie and Andrew. And I guess it's our poor attempts at carrying forward that legacy. We're going to keep fighting. Thank you, Andrew for doing that. Everybody follow Andrew. Everybody follow Alex Marlowe. Right here. Yeah. And it's a compliment. No, it is my number one thing. I get called Andrew probably once a day and always been cool with it.

What a compliment, honestly. Yeah. I guess someone could say Benny or Billy Bush. I'm not sure if that would be a good confusion or bad confusion. But apparently we're going to have a Bush family member who's running for Governor in Maine back on the show. That would be our first Bush family member, like who's running for us. office on the show. So look at us, right? Broadening our horizons. Look at it. It's a big, it's a huge tent, capital-wise. Look at us. Look at us. We can do the name. Thank you, Alex. God bless you, man. Godspeed. This is fine. See you later. See you up. Oh, baby. That's right. That's right. If you need a, if you need something new in your light, like perhaps, perhaps you need somebody to test your mics like Billy Bush had. Right. Actually, everyone, Some commenters saying that they didn't hear the clipping that we heard. So awesome.

That's great. We're really happy about it. And we're thrilled, frankly, about the future of Los Angeles in L.A. And where it's heading? They do need new people. If you need new people, if you need a new business, if you want to start a new business in a new state, maybe you've fled California. Maybe California will swing red.

Effing crazy. Whoa. They work well together, but he talked about the absolute crash out that he had on Benjamin Nett and Yahu. He was perturbed about the constantly fighting in Lebanon. President Trump confirming in Axios report earlier that he snapped on BB. Let's go ahead and watch the clip.

This is from the Pod Force One podcast with New York Post, Miranda Devine, one of our friends making news. Here we go. Angry with him. You said, are you effing crazy? What are you effing doing? I helped you stay out of jail. Is that true? Did you speak to him in those terms?

I did. I always say angry. I was a little bit perturbed at his, constantly fighting with Lebanon, you know, at some point I said, BB, we got to stop this, we got to stop it. But I have a very good relationship. We've done well, done well together. He always is. We could never have done it, but everybody knows that we could have never done it without the United States. But we've, I've worked very well together. I like BB alive, and I've worked very well with him. We had a, you know, I'm a wartime president.

He's a wartime prime minister, very important part of the world. And I think we've done, you know, very well. We've gotten along very well together. Ladies and gentlemen, that is what's going to be our prayer for today as we move on to the verse of the day. Our prayer is going to be for peace. blessed are the peacemakers. They'll be called the children of God. We need peace right now. I want this war to be over. I want it to end. I would like for there to be peace with Iran. There was more bombings. I guess Iran bombed a airport in Kuwait, blew it all up. A bit of a nightmare. We want it to be over. We don't want to crash out or lose our minds over it. We just want to be aggressive in calling for the best for our nation and for everybody's country, quite frankly. And so that's what we've tried to do in good faith, respectfully, strongly on this program, and to, well, continue the fight. That's what we're going to do.

Continuing the fight. Two quick market updates about who will advance the second round. I don't like what happened last night where the markets said Bass and Rahman that Spencer Pratt would not be advancing. The markets nearly flipped last night. It's very, very good that they didn't. And now it's back up to what looks like, here we go, 64%. Okay, great. There's like a bit of a bounce where it looked like Spencer Pratt was going to be crashing down.

That's been normalizing, thank goodness. And then we have who will advance in the California governor's primary, Steve Hilton and Xavier Bacera at 98% and 83% respectively. Very good numbers there. Want to stay locked in. Ladies and gentlemen, keep our eyes on California. Fight. That is where the future of the country will be fought.

The battles will be on the streets of L.A. So let us go into battle with our verse of the day from Romans 837. But in all these things, we are overwhelmingly, in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through him who loved us. Remember, we are conquerors here on earth and in the spirit have a air of victory and not defeat, no matter what happens, a reminder that when all felt lost after 2020, we started the show And we built. And instead of crashing out or retreating or licking our wounds or leaving the space, we fought 10 times harder.

We went 50 times harder. That's the spirit of a conquer. That's the spirit of the conquer. March on to victory with us. It's your boy, Benny. See ya. Bates, Benny sharp like a blade. Coming through the lies, what's the truth cascade.
