What are the key issues in the California governor and mayoral races?
Californians take to the polls today to decide which candidates will compete for governor and L.A. mayor come November. Have upstart Republicans Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton shaken things up enough in the deep blue state to be on the ballots?
I'm not going to sit here and tell you Spencer Pratt can save L.A. What I can tell you is the status quo is destroying it and we need to try something different.
I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. Georgia's off today. It's Tuesday, June 2nd. This is Morning Wire.
The U.S.
How have Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton changed the political landscape in California?
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?
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.
And officials impose a 9 p.m. curfew in New Jersey after anti-ice riots lead to over a dozen arrests. Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.
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.

Is the ceasefire with Iran on the verge of collapse?
Application times may vary. Rates may vary.
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.
Great to be with you.
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?
What has changed?
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.
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.
