How have Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton changed the political landscape in California?

John Bickley 0:40
standoff with Iran takes a turn for the worse, with new strikes and stalling talks. Is the ceasefire on the verge of collapse, or will Trump finally rein in Iran?
Unknown 0:50
The Iranians have been violating the ceasefire that began on April the 8th quite continuously. So we actually have justification to go back into military operations. The president's certainly full aware of that.
John Bickley 1:01

There comes a moment for almost everybody at some point in adulthood where you realize life got very real very fast. Maybe it's buying a house. Maybe it's getting married. Maybe it's becoming a parent or watching your own parents get older. Suddenly, you're not just thinking month to month anymore. You start thinking about what would happen if something unexpected happened to you. And honestly, for most people, they avoid that conversation as long as possible. Not because they don't care, but because life insurance feels complicated, feels time consuming, and seems easy to put off until later. But later has a way of showing up quicker than you think.

The eyes of the nation will be on California tonight as the votes are tallied in some really consequential primaries, including for governor and mayor of L.A. Both of those contests have Republicans who have vastly outperformed expectations already. Joining us to break it all down is Daily Wire opinion editor and host of The Big Ben Show, Ben Domenech. Ben, great to have you on.
Ben Domenech 2:40
Great to be with you.
John Bickley 2:41
So let's start with LA. A lot of people focused on this race. You know, six months ago, the idea of Spencer Pratt being a serious contender for mayor there would have sounded like a joke.

What triggered the recent escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions?

John Bickley 2:53
What has changed?
Ben Domenech 2:54
Well, what's changed is that people in L.A. are frustrated and they're frustrated for very logical and obvious reasons. Karen Bass was someone who was sitting atop a political machine that she worked to her advantage. She was someone who was viewed as kind of a kingmaker or queenmaker within the L.A. experience. But then the Palisades fire happened and she happened to be out of the country at the time. for reasons that don't seem to make very much sense even to this day. And there were all sorts of responses to that fire that sparked questions about corruption, about the inability of the fire response to handle it, about why that blaze. and was still even burning days after it had been identified about why the reservoir was essentially empty.
Ben Domenech 3:41
Spencer Pratt is riding high on all the different sort of motivations that are coming from voters out of that experience. And I think that this is not really even a political response. It's much more of a capacity to govern response.
