## Resource

Los Angles mayoral challenger Spencer Pratt was making big waves pushing back against liberal orthodoxy in the notoriously liberal city. Despite a promising run, Pratt seems to have lost the primary in an extremely suspicious election. Navy veteran and Clairmont Lincoln Fellow Tom Sauer joins me to discuss the L.A. election and the continued turmoil over the Iran peace deal.
