Spencer Pratt SURGES + Iran CLOSES Hormuz | PBD #810

Spencer Pratt isn’t just running for mayor of Los Angeles—he’s weaponizing celebrity culture to dismantle the political establishment, with polls showing him as a top-two contender despite zero policy credentials and a reality TV past. The hosts argue this isn’t a fluke but a full-blown revolt against California’s 'Stockholm Syndrome'—a deep-seated loyalty to a broken system that’s left voters desperate for chaos as change. While they mock his lack of substance, they can’t ignore the data: he’s winning over women and disillusioned Democrats who see him as a clean break from the status quo. But the real firestorm isn’t in L.A.—it’s in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has declared it will close the vital waterway, citing Israeli strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon. This isn’t brinkmanship—it’s a calculated power play by Iran’s hardliners, including the IRGC, who are systematically eliminating moderates like President Pezeshkian to force the West into negotiations with only the most intransigent faction. The hosts warn this isn’t about diplomacy; it’s about regime survival through strategic chaos. Meanwhile, California’s proposed mandatory speed-limiting devices for repeat offenders—and Google’s plan to release 32 million genetically modified mosquitoes—raise alarms about corporate and state overreach, with the potential for mosquito-sized surveillance drones lurking in the shadows.
