Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the counting of votes in California’s primaries. In the Los Angeles mayor’s race, challenger Spencer Pratt has fallen to third place behind incumbent Karen Bass and City Council member Nithya Raman. Also, a look at tomorrow’s Maine Democratic Senate primary, where controversial candidate Graham Platner is expected to win and face incumbent Republican Susan Collins in the November general election. Then, Prineha Narang, Professor in Physical Sciences and Electrical and Computer Engineering at UCLA joins the guys to discuss her recent RCP article on AI and America’s military and what the recent dispute between AI company Anthropic and the Pentagon may mean for the U.S./China competition for military technological dominance. Next, they discuss President Donald Trump’s appearance Sunday on “Meet The Press” where he walked off the set after host Kristen Welker pressed him on accusations of election fraud. And lastly, they talk about former “Sixty Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley’s interview to the New York Times this weekend where he said the program “is on fire” and that CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss “doesn’t know what she is doing.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
