Is the Democratic Party collapsing under the weight of anti-Semitism, open-border policies, identity politics, and the abandonment of working-class voters? Or is something even bigger happening beneath the surface? Batya Ungar-Sargon joins Jillian Michaels for one of the most explosive conversations of the year. From the growing divide inside MAGA to the civil war tearing apart the Left, Batya exposes the political realignment nobody in the mainstream media wants to talk about. Why are Black voters abandoning Democrats? Why are former liberals sounding the alarm? And why are Americans increasingly rejecting the political establishment on both sides? Plus: Trump's biggest test yet. Will the Iran crisis end in peace, regime change, or a wider war? What happens if Trump's strategy succeeds—and what happens if it fails? Batya also breaks down the shocking alliance forming between the woke right and the woke left, the Israel-Gaza debate consuming American politics, the controversies surrounding Sam Harris and Megyn Kelly, and the argument at the center of her explosive new book. And looking ahead to 2026 and beyond: Could the midterms become a political bloodbath? Is the future of the Republican Party JD Vance or Marco Rubio? Is the Democratic Party headed toward Gavin Newsom, AOC, or something even more radical? The answers may surprise you. Listen until the end. #JillianMichaels #BatyaUngarSargon #MAGA #Trump #Iran #Israel #2026Midterms Chapters 00:00 - Intro 00:33 - Trump’s Iran Crisis Deepens 01:12 - Graham Platner Controversy 02:06 - Dangerous Debates 04:06 - The Ultimate Political Realignment 05:21 - Ana Kasparian = Nick Fuentes 07:02 - Sam Harris Wakes Up 08:42 - Democratic Party Implosion Looming 09:41 - Ditching Wokeism Forever 11:47 - Yale Study Shatters Matrix 14:16 - California Municipal Meltdown Escalates 15:19 - Black Voters Fleeing Democrats 18:06 - Immigration Exploitation Exposed 20:08 - Trump’s Populist Coalition Surges 21:52 - Megyn Kelly Changes Teams? 23:30 - Elite Identity Politics Fails 28:09 - MAGA Civil War Explodes 31:13 - The Influencer Exodus Trajectory 34:06 - America's Looming Economic Crash 38:56 - Working-Class Voters Betrayed 41:13 - Corporate Media Attacks 44:40 - 2026 Midterm Predictions 46:57 - Anti-Zionism Infiltrates Mainstream Left 51:56 - Israel-Gaza Money 54:43 - Hidden Global Genocides Ignored 56:30 - The Dangerous Putin Myth 57:29 - Tucker Carlson Controversy Shockwaves 59:18 - Marco Rubio Momentum 59:48 - Gavin Newsom Threat Learn more about your ad choices.

BREAKING - TOP NEWS STORIES OF THE WEEK: 🗳️ CALIFORNIA ELECTION INTEGRITY CRISIS CONTINUES — Newsom and Trump go to war over California elections. Voter rolls packed with tens of thousands of ineligible registrations. Homeless voters registered with zero verification — no ID, no Social Security number, nothing. A 29-day counting window giving election officials access to unreturned ballots. And when the DOJ demanded transparency, Gavin Newsom cited "privacy" and stonewalled federal investigators. California isn't an outlier — 14 states plus Washington D.C. require zero proof of identity to vote. ⚖️ HOW THE SAVE ACT DIED IN THE SENATE — 80% of Americans — including the majority of Democrats — support voter ID and proof of citizenship to vote. So how did this bill collapse? We break down the 60-vote filibuster threshold, the Byrd Rule, the four Republican defectors — McConnell, Collins, Murkowski, and Tillis — and the procedural nuclear option that could have passed it with 51 votes and why Republicans refused to use it. 🚨 THE LEFT'S DEPLORABLES MOMENT — The Democratic Party is now openly rallying behind a Maine Senate candidate with a documented hate symbol tattoo, multiple abuse allegations from former partners, and a campaign director who quit and went public the night before the primary. Senator Andy Kim's response: "I'll work with whoever Maine elects." This is the same party that spent a decade calling the right deplorable. Now they're running their own — and CNN's Dana Bash is calling it political sophistication. 📺 DANA BASH'S / GRAHAM PLATNER CNN HYPOCRISY EXPOSED — Bash went on camera to argue that Democrats are finally "mature" enough to look past a deeply compromised candidate in the name of winning. We break down exactly what that candidate's record actually looks like — and why this is the most cynical spin CNN has produced yet. 🔴 HASAN PIKER AND THE NEW LEFT — The Democrats now routinely campaign alongside Hasan Piker — a streamer who went online after October 7th and justified violence against Israeli civilians and has a documented record of content so extreme it would end any Republican's career overnight - and the left justifies it all. 🎙️ VIRAL CLIPS THAT BREAK THROUGH THE NOISE — A former progressive goes viral explaining exactly why he walked away from the left. A teenager on a political panel shuts down a CNN-style gotcha question with more clarity and grace than any cable news anchor has managed in years. 🌍 GOOD NEWS THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS — Australia is on track to eliminate cervical cancer entirely by 2028. The Bahamas certified for eliminating mother-to-child HIV transmission. Stanford scientists have developed an injection that regrows human cartilage and could reverse arthritis. And meet Gilbert — the glowing robotic fish cleaning microplastics from the ocean right now.

Is the entire California election system engineered from the top down? As the California primary election results 2026 stall in a grueling California 38 day vote count, millions of voters are asking the exact same question: “Why does California take so long to count votes?” The mainstream media calls the endless California ballot counting delay normal—but behind the scenes, a battle for California election integrity has just gone nuclear. From the historic Steve Hilton Xavier Becerra governor race to the chaotic Los Angeles mayoral primary 2026, the establishment is facing a massive populist revolt. The internet erupted after a stunning shift caused the Spencer Pratt lead flips overnight in the highly contested Nithya Raman vs Spencer Pratt race, igniting a national conversation over the state's controversial ballot tabulation process California uses to finalize the LA mayor race update. Now, the MAGA movement is calling it out directly as the front line of the Gavin Newsom vs Trump election fraudwar, claiming a widespread California mail in ballot cheating scandal is playing out in broad daylight. Activists are pointing directly to the systemic flaws inside the state’s Voter Roles, lax Motor Voter auto-registrations, Universal Mail In Ballots, and weaponized Homeless registration voting rings. They thought they had the Los Angeles political news 2026 narrative locked down. They were wrong. A legal bombshell has just dropped. State Assemblyman Bill Essayli has triggered a sweeping Trump US attorney Los Angeles investigation, sending federal auditors into the system to freeze the data. We have just obtained a leaked internal memo from a whistleblower inside the registrar's office. What is written on page 4 exposes the exact blueprint used to shift outcomes when the clock ticks past midnight. If you think your vote counts, you need to see what the feds just uncovered. #CaliforniaPrimary2026 #SpencerPratt #NithyaRaman #BillEssayli #SteveHilton #LAMayorRace Learn more about your ad choices.

The US-Iran-Israel war is reshaping the Middle East in real time — and most people have no idea what's actually happening. Jillian Michaels sits down with military historian and geopolitical strategist Victor Davis Hanson for an unfiltered breakdown of the crisis. Iran is threatening the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices are spiking. Hezbollah is escalating. And Donald Trump is under fire from Congress, the media, and fractures inside his own coalition. The window to prevent a wider regional war is closing fast. Is Iran capable of backing down — or is regime collapse inevitable? Has Trump strengthened or undermined American deterrence? And are we watching the beginning of World War 3 — or the final chapter of the Iranian regime? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down: Trump's Iran strategy — is it working? Iran's nuclear program and the enrichment red line Why Gulf States are quietly aligning with Israel The Israel-Hezbollah escalation timeline The conservative foreign policy civil war — Tucker vs. the hawks China and Russia's role in the crisis Campus radicalization and the mainstreaming of anti-Semitism Whether America can avoid another endless war This isn't punditry. This is the history, the military calculus, and the geopolitical architecture that will define the next decade. #VictorDavisHanson #IranWar #Trump #IsraelIran #MiddleEast #WorldWar3 #IranNuclear #Hezbollah #Netanyahu #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #Trump2026 #OilPrices #China #Russia #TuckerCarlson #MegynKelly #AntiSemitism #Israel #MilitaryHistory CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 02:45 War Powers Act Showdown 04:50 Iran's Economy in Freefall 07:45 How Modern Warfare Actually Works 11:11 Will the Iranian Regime Survive? 15:55 The Trump-Netanyahu Leaked Call 19:45 Drone Warfare Is Rewriting the Rules 22:20 Gulf States Quietly Pick a Side 26:00 Europe's Deterrence Is Already Dead 29:00 Anti-Semitism's New Home 33:15 China and Russia: Opportunity or Alliance? 42:50 The Right Is Fracturing on Foreign Policy 50:15 How the Middle East Captured American Academia 54:40 The Progressive Media Bubble 59:21 What "Neocon" Actually Means 01:03:40 The Human Rights Hypocrisy Nobody Talks About 01:07:35 Why Trump's Political Comeback Is Bulletproof Learn more about your ad choices.

Is California finally turning on the political establishment? Is Europe unraveling in real time? And what happens when ideology collides with science? In this explosive episode of The Weekly Rundown, Jillian Michaels breaks down the biggest stories shaking America and the world. CALIFORNIA'S POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE The California primary results are in—and the establishment is officially on notice. Jillian reacts to Karen Bass' controversial election night appearance as Spencer Pratt surges in the Los Angeles mayoral race. Then the team breaks down the battle for governor as Steve Hilton gains momentum against Xavier Becerra, examining the policies driving crime, homelessness, economic decline, and the continued exodus of California families. Is California on the verge of a political realignment—or headed for even deeper trouble? THE PUBERTY BLOCKER DEBATE: THE SCIENCE THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT After viral clips from Dave Rubins Jubilee debate and dangerous laims from woke commentator Sam Seder, Jillian delivers a data-driven takedown of the mainstream narrative surrounding puberty blockers and gender-affirming care for minors. Using findings from the landmark Cass Review, leaked WPATH files, international medical policy changes, and emerging research on youth gender medicine, she dismantles claims about gender affirming care being a “pause button, and highlights growing concerns surrounding bone density, fertility, sexual function, long-term health outcomes, and more. Plus, why have multiple European countries reversed course—and why are so many activists refusing to acknowledge the evidence? IRAN ESCALATES As breaking news unfolds during the show, reports emerge of an Iranian missile and drone attack targeting Kuwait's international airport. What does this mean for the Middle East? Is this an isolated event—or the beginning of something much bigger? PARIS BURNS & THE WESTERN IDENTITY CRISIS Following PSG's championship victory, Paris erupts into riots, mass arrests, injuries, and destruction. Jillian examines the growing intersection of immigration, assimilation, lawlessness, political extremism, and cultural fragmentation that many believe is transforming cities across Europe. Is Paris a warning—or a preview? THE UK STORY THAT LEFT EVERYONE STUNNED The team reacts to disturbing bodycam footage involving college student Henry Nowak, who was allegedly treated as a suspect after being stabbed multiple times when accusations of racism entered the situation. The case raises difficult questions about policing, justice, race, political pressure, and whether governments have become afraid to apply the law equally. HOPE IN THE DARKNESS To close the week, Jillian highlights stories that remind us humanity is capable of far more than division and chaos—from a moving military homecoming to breakthroughs in diabetes treatment, AI innovations reducing animal cruelty, major conservation victories, and record-breaking technological advances. Because while the headlines often focus on what's broken, there are still reasons to believe in what's possible.

California is at a breaking point. Newsom’s corruption, crime, homelessness, immigration, skyrocketing taxes, the insurance crisis, devastating wildfires, failing infrastructure, and a growing exodus of residents have many Californians asking the same question: How did the Golden State get here? Jillian Michaels sits down with Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, one of the leading candidates in the 2026 California Governor's race, to discuss the policies he says have pushed California into decline—and his plan to reverse course. The conversation dives into Bianco's critiques of fellow gubernatorial candidates Xavier Becerra, Katie Porter, and Tom Steyer, tackling issues ranging from healthcare for undocumented immigrants and gender policy to immigration enforcement, homelessness spending, and government accountability. Sheriff Bianco pulls no punches as he takes on Governor Gavin Newsom's legacy, California's homelessness crisis, sanctuary state policies, Proposition 36, public safety, immigration, wildfire prevention, the California insurance collapse, rising crime rates, and the state's controversial tax policies—including his proposal to eliminate California's state income tax. Jillian and Sheriff Bianco examine why so many residents and businesses are leaving California, whether the state's one-party political system is driving institutional failure, and what it would take to restore affordability, public safety, and opportunity for Californians across the political spectrum. And, Bianco weighs in on Spencer Pratt’s chance at winning Los Angeles’ Mayoral race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
