Spencer Pratt Isn't Done: The Law That Could Put Him Back In

Spencer Pratt isn't going quietly. After slipping from second to third place as mail-in ballots were counted in the June 2nd Los Angeles mayoral primary, Pratt came out swinging — posting a video calling it "Phase Three" and warning Karen Bass and Nithya Raman to watch their backs heading into November. But here's what most people aren't talking about: there's a section in the Los Angeles City Charter — Election Code Section 427 — that says if a candidate who advances from a primary dies, resigns, or is otherwise disqualified, the person with the next highest votes takes their place. That person is Spencer Pratt. And Pratt claims he has a recording that could change everything. We break down the law, the loophole, and what it all means — plus the federal investigation closing in on California elections. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli has announced multiple election fraud probes and is working with DOJ Civil Rights Chief Harmeet Dhillon to audit California's voter rolls. Meanwhile, a Marina del Rey woman just pleaded guilty to paying homeless people on Skid Row $2-$3 to register to vote — for nearly 20 years. And the federal government just suspended funding to LAHSA after investigators found evidence the agency abused hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars. Between now and November — anything can happen.Retirement decisions deserve careful research.

TRUMP’S Iran “Fair Deal”: Suggests Syria Handle Hezbollah, Qatar Billions Flood U.S.

President Trump is set to sign a peace deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran in Geneva this Friday — but can a regime actually be trusted to honor it? Stella Escovido sits down with Middle East expert Dr. Walid Phares to break down what's really in this deal, and whether peace with Tehran can ever be more than a pause button. Plus, President Trump says Israel is taking too long to finish off Hezbollah in Lebanon, and suggests Syria should do the job instead. Dr. Phares explains why that's a red flag. Syria's president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is a former al-Qaeda-linked commander who fought under the name Abu Mohammed al-Jolani before taking power in Damascus. Should the U.S. be comfortable handing off security responsibilities to him? And, Qatar. Trump claims the Gulf nation is investing as much as $19 trillion dollars into the United States, a number that dwarfs the 1.2 trillion dollar economic exchange announced back in 2025. We break down what's verified, what's still just talk, and what it means for everyday Americans.
