Spencer Pratt Surging in LA Mayor Race, DNC Autopsy Report Fight, UFO Files Released: AM Update 5/11

This special Mother's Day edition of AM Update covers a dynamic mix of political, scientific, and public health stories. In Los Angeles, former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is surging in the mayoral race, fueled by strong debate performance and growing support on prediction markets, with his campaign positioning itself as a revolt against political establishment failures. Pratt, who lost his home in the 2025 Palisades fire, has gained traction by criticizing city leadership on homelessness, public safety, and ineffective spending—especially on homeless outreach—while facing backlash over CBS News' edited interview, which he claims turned his message into a 'comical hit piece.' Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee is under pressure to release its internal 200-page 'autopsy' report on the 2024 election, with Chair Ken Martin resisting due to fears of internal infighting, though growing calls from party members and figures like Kamala Harris suggest a release may be imminent. The Pentagon has also released a major trove of declassified UAP (UFO) files, including Apollo 11 transcripts and footage of mysterious 2023 encounters, amid President Trump’s push for transparency. On the health front, 17 Americans are being quarantined in Nebraska after a deadly hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondias cruise ship, with the CDC preparing to monitor them for six weeks despite low public risk. The episode closes with a health product promotion for Armra Cholestrum and a sponsor plug for Birch Gold Group.
