California's political future remains unsettled as new vote totals continue to reshape both the Los Angeles mayoral race and the California governor's contest Friday.
The Los Angeles Mayoral election is becoming increasingly questionable after a damning ballot drop gave Democratic City Councilwoman Nithya Raman a substantial gain, and Los Angeles is expected to continue counting ballots through the weekend. The nearly 60,000 late mail-in ballots counted on Friday evening gave Raman over 23,000 new votes, while Pratt gained roughly 11,000.

Multiple election fraud investigations in California are currently underway with the FBI and the US Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, as ballot counting for Tuesday's primary election continues. First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said his office is conducting a "comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls" with the DOJ's Civil Rights Division on Friday.

As the results trickled in for candidate Spencer Pratt, he projected confidence that not only did he already beat out Nithya Raman to make the runoff against incumbent Karen Bass — but he’s also confident Bass will be an easy opponent.“Spencer Pratt is kind of already assuming he’s into this runoff,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says, before playing a clip of Pratt talking to reporters before the results were all in.“Are you going to debate Karen Bass again?” a reporter asked Pratt. “And what do you want to tell her if she sees this?”“You know, I loved debating her on NBC. I look forward to a couple more on NBC and Fox. We can do debates every Friday if she would like because this actually became my most favorite thing to do,” Pratt responded.“I hope she’s ready, because I literally could not be more excited,” he added.“It is usually a good thing for a politician, Dave, to debate the dumbest people around them. So I think Spencer Pratt is in a good position here,” Stu says."It has helped a lot of people in the past. So I think it’s a very good idea,” co-host Dave Landau agrees, though he adds, “unfortunately, in California, I’m not sure if it’s going to help.”“Yeah, it’s still going to be tough in Los Angeles for Spencer Pratt to win because when you have a situation where it’s two Democrats and one Republican, their votes get kind of split up,” Stu says.“When you go the opposite way, and you have one Republican versus one Democrat, it’s very difficult to win in a city like this, especially in an election time that’s probably going to be pretty difficult for Republicans generally,” he continues.“Pratt though is looking at this positively, Dave. He’s trying to take a positive spin on what is to come here in the next few months,” he adds.In an interview following the latest election results, Pratt exclaimed that “obviously God wanted five more months” of him “exposing all the failures of our mayor.”“So it’s going to be a fun ride. I hope she’s ready,” he said, adding that he was “born for this.”“As far as debates go and going up against her and just trying to show track record,” Dave comments, “he’s got it in the bag.”“As far as the, you know, votes that come in the bag in the middle of the night, those are the ones that I’d have to worry about,” he adds.Want more from Stu and Dave?To enjoy more of Stu and Dave's lethal blend of wit, humor, and insightful commentary subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
Spencer Pratt has been portrayed by the left-wing media as a one-time reality star villain with no experience, but BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler did a little digging into the Los Angeles mayoral candidate’s past — and there’s much more to him then his critics are letting on.“What is Spencer Pratt’s experience?” Wheeler asks. “Well, most people say none. He just kind of has a good idea of what he might do. He has some connections. Or they might say a reality TV star, a villain on television.”However, Wheeler explains that his experience is actually “a track record of being majorly successful based on his own ingenuity and hustling.”“Spencer Pratt graduated from USC with a degree in political science, so politics is not totally foreign to this man. He, yes, he starred on a reality TV show, 'The Hills,' but he also created and executive produced another reality TV show called 'The Princes of Malibu' on Fox,” she explains.This, Wheeler says, proves he is a “successful businessman.”“That’s not just nepotism. You have to get ratings with your show, which means it has to be clever. It has to be good. You have to be able to pitch it and show why viewers are going to like it,” she explains, pointing out that this is only a “fraction of his experience.”“After his reality TV days, he became a community advocate and a citizen journalist. He filled a void in Los Angeles in the Pacific Palisades after his home and his parents’ home and his neighbors' homes all burned down,” she says.“He documented the reality of what was happening, what it was like, what had happened to him in the Pacific Palisades in the aftermath of the fires. This is when the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, was dancing in Ghana,” she adds.Wheeler explains that Pratt’s ability to “identify a void” and “being a citizen journalist at a time when politicians in the mainstream media were gaslighting the entire country about what happened in the Pacific Palisades Fire” is necessary to be a politician who actually creates change.“On top of serving that need, which is a form of entrepreneurship, he then took his wife, whom, by the way, he’s been married to for a long time ... took his wife’s 15-year-old music ... and he brought it back to life,” she explains.“I’m talking last year and the year before. And he made this 15-year-old album an international hit. It reached number one on iTunes and number two on Billboard Dance. It was charting in Europe, in the U.K.,” she says.“This is Spencer Pratt’s experience,” she continues, adding, “He took things that weren’t, and he created them. He took things that were broken, and he exposed them. He took things that were dead and brought them back to life.”Want more from Liz Wheeler?To enjoy more of Liz’s based commentary, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
