Tonight, President Trump continues to defend his so-called anti-weaponization fund and storms

out of an interview after being challenged on false claims about California's elections.

Then, Trump says Israel will have no choice but to accept whatever deal the U.S. makes with Iran.

Plus, money, power, politics. Tech leaders spent big money

in California's primary last week, but it didn't pay off as much as they had hoped as the

11th hour gets underway on this Monday night. Greetings, everyone. I'm Simone Sanders Townsend,

in for Stephanie Rule. Let's be clear. President

Donald Trump has a lot on his plate right now. His war in Iran has now surpassed a hundred-day mark,

and with Iran and Israel trading fire over the last couple days, a peace deal to end the war

looks even farther away. Trump also says he never promised no new wars,

even though he repeatedly campaigned on a pledge to not start wars. In fact, the night he won the

election, Trump said, quote, I'm not going to start a war. We'll get much more into all of this

with Lieutenant General Mark Hurtling coming up in a bit.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, progressive Nithia Rahman has advanced in the Los Angeles mayor's race.

She will face incumbent Karen Bass in the runoff.

Rahman pulled ahead of Spencer Pratt for second place in the race over the past couple of days.

Pratt is Trump's chosen candidate,

and Trump has been making baseless accusations of fraud in the California primaries, saying they're,

quote, rigged. It comes after Trump erupted with more baseless claims of fraud in the 2020

election in an interview with Meet the Press. Just watch.

Let me ask you about Todd Blanche. Let's listen to me. Listen to me Let me ask you about Todd Blanche. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. Let's talk about Todd. There's tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. It was a dirty election. Mr. President. It's happening again right now in California. It's happening right now in California. Right now it's looking, look at what's happening. Where's the evidence to that? It's four days. In California, it's, no, they're not there. They're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close to coming up. That's how they cap the votes in California. You know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election. There's, what, do you have evidence to support that? All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look. That's not evidence. And I listen and I listen to people and let's see what happens. But sir, that's not evidence. You think it's appropriate that they that they have the votes. Do you think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later, they're nowhere close to picking the winner?

State local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging. No, they're crooked. They're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote in California.
