Summary

Alyssa Farah Griffin sits down with executive producer Brian Teta to react to Graham Platner’s win in the Maine Senate primary, explaining why she believes you don’t have to sacrifice your values when casting your vote. She also weighs in on ongoing claims of election fraud in places like California—and why so many Republicans continue to believe the 2020 election was rigged. Alyssa shares why she never thought Spencer Pratt stood a real chance in the Los Angeles mayoral race, saying you don’t replace “incompetence with incompetence.” She also breaks down what she believes is driving President Trump’s attacks on female journalists. The conversation wraps with a turn to pop culture, as Alyssa reacts to the 'Summer House' reunion, explaining why the Amanda and West drama has eclipsed Scandoval—and why she proudly bows down to Bravo superfan Jennifer Lawrence.
