Trump-backed Spencer Pratt soars in LA mayor race as Californians vote with Terrorist Therapist Carole Lieberman

Trump-backed mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has emerged as one of the biggest surprises in California politics, turning what many expected to be a routine Los Angeles mayoral race into a closely watched contest. The former reality television star has capitalized on voter frustration over homelessness, public safety, wildfire recovery, and the cost of living, helping propel him into contention against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Recent polling and election results suggest Pratt has significantly outperformed early expectations and is positioned as a major force in the race, despite criticism from political opponents and questions about his lack of government experience. His rise reflects a broader anti-establishment mood among some voters and has drawn national attention following President Donald Trump's endorsement. As Californians continue to weigh competing visions for the city's future, the race has become a referendum on leadership, public safety, and confidence in local government.

Overlooked Health Care Crisis with President of AMerican Committment Phil Kerpen

For this discussion, President of Phil Kerpen, argues that one of the most overlooked health care crises in America is the rapid consolidation of hospitals and health systems, which he says is driving up costs, reducing competition, and limiting patient choice. Kerpen contends that large nonprofit hospital systems have benefited from government policies, tax exemptions, and regulatory advantages that encourage consolidation while making it harder for independent physicians and medical providers to compete. He believes these trends have contributed significantly to rising health care expenses and have shifted attention away from reforms that could increase transparency, competition, and affordability for patients.
