SAVE Act FAILS + LA's CROOKED Election? | PBD #813

PBD Podcast2h 7mJune 5, 2026
AI-Generated Summary

The Los Angeles mayoral race imploded when 24,000 late-counted ballots delivered zero votes for Spencer Pratt—a statistical impossibility that the hosts declare proof of systemic election fraud, especially in California’s lax, ID-less voting system. They tie this to the broader collapse of the SAVE Act, a voter ID bill backed by 83% of Americans, including 71% of Democrats, blocked by a Senate filibuster and Republican defections from McConnell and Collins. The episode then erupts into a moral firestorm: New York’s attempt to replace 'mother' and 'father' with 'gestating' and 'non-gestating parent' is labeled absurd and ideologically driven, especially after revealing the sponsor, Luis Sepulveda, has a history of domestic violence. The outrage intensifies with the revelation that Democratic Senate candidate Graham Plattner carried a Nazi SS concentration camp tattoo for 18 years, defended by Ro Khanna and Chuck Schumer—exposing a deep hypocrisy in the party’s ethics. Meanwhile, Michael Saylor’s $10 billion Bitcoin loss is praised as a masterclass in leadership under fire, while Anthropic’s AI pause call is dismissed as regulatory capture. Sanders and Warren’s AI tax and UBI proposals are condemned as economically reckless, out of touch with innovation and global competition.

California’s Election Integrity Crisis: A Systemic Failure

It's not possible. That is why it is not statistically possible to happen. Rahman gets another 10,000 votes, 61,900 to 71,400. A little under 10,000. Out of nowhere? Really? Even Adam Miller gets another 1,300 votes? And he was the nonpartisan. Well, Pratt gets zero. And Pratt gets zero.

It's selfish. It's horrific. 67% to 85% of pregnancies in the United States with a Down syndrome diagnosis are aborted. That's not, listen to me. God does not make mistakes. Every single life has value.

His last words. That's the point. Because sadly enough, the Democratic Party doesn't they don't have principles at this point. They just care about power and you're willing to look the other way. Here's my question.
