Spencer Pratt, formerly a reality television star on MTV’s The Hills, has entered Los Angeles’s mayoral race as a Republican to challenge incumbent Karen Bass. His campaign’s satirical ads depict opponents as movie villains, yet his more serious pitch addresses the real issues concerning Angelenos: homelessness, drugs, and corruption. Whether this quasi-Trumpian strategy wins their vote remains to be seen come June. Meanwhile, the war in Iran persists. Victory remains elusive and gas prices high. What is the direction of the war effort? Will Trump back out? The guys monitor the situation.
