Summary

Spencer Pratt, Steve Hilton, and…Sam Seder’s feet? We look at unusual developments in California and beyond as the June 2 primary results unfold, with help from labor and community organizer Rachel Reyes, who's been watching all of this from inside the San Fernando Valley. Then, Sam Seder of the Majority Report joins to break down what the primary results mean for the progressive wing of the party — from the ‘prairie populist’ Josh Turek to Sam Forstag in Montana who was backed by AOC — and specifically, the win of U.S. army doctor Adam Hamawy, who went to Gaza to help victims of Israel’s genocide firsthand. Then, the flawed Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner in Maine, and the hilariously bad AI ads from Israel-funded Susan Collins PACs. We discuss the value –or lack thereof– of ‘working with’ the likes of Marjorie Tayor Greene, and how 25% of the Republican party has an immovable desire for authoritarianism. Featuring: Rachel Reyes, labor and community organizer and co-host of LA Podcast, https://www.instagram.com/rchrys/ Sam Seder, host of The Majority Report, https://majority.fm/report/ *Have you ever wanted to join the Frantifa?

0:00.0	there is this perception that California is progressive or is leftist. And I think that while at one
0:08.3	point that might have been true, I think it's really important to understand that California's also
0:13.0	an incredibly unequal state. Yeah, absolutely. There is such a high concentration of wealth in this state. It is something that people really do need to recognize that we are just as much under threat of a fascist takeover as any other place, even a red state.
0:41.8	What's happening, everybody? Welcome to the bituation room on a Wednesday, June 3rd.
0:46.5	What is happening?
0:47.7	Happy pride, everybody.
0:49.9	We are trying to, you know, not get ahead of our skis by doing a show on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday.
0:59.3	But of course, we're going to be talking about the California election results thus far.
1:04.6	And sadly, one day was not enough to get those results.
1:08.1	In fact, people return their ballots and can return their ballots
1:12.0	by mail as of yesterday. What does that mean? It means it takes a while, people. California has
1:20.2	one of the most liberal voting patterns, behaviors, habits, policies. But we will, in a little bit, with Rachel Reyes of the LA podcast, be talking about what we
1:33.3	know thus far, what we can glean from what we've seen.
1:38.3	And then a little bit later, we're going to be talking about broader election results
1:42.3	in everywhere from New Jersey to Iowa to,
1:47.0	you know, to Maine, of course, which has not voted yet with Sam Cedar of the majority report.
1:53.4	And anything else we need to get into, there might be a little check-in with how the Israel Day parade went.
2:01.6	I hear they missed Zoran quite a lot to maybe an unhealthy extent.
2:07.6	So if you're here, like and share the stream,
2:11.6	this show is one of those shows that I think this show could be like a five-hour show.
2:16.6	We could just sit. It really could
2:18.7	just be a stream. And I know the people watching on Twitch are like, yeah, what are you doing?
