Show Notes
Tuesday, June 9 — Steve Hilton's election night confetti has dried, and the lead is gone.
Rush and Reagan break down how California's jungle primary produced the exact result Republicans set themselves up for: years of anti-mail-ballot messaging suppressed GOP turnout by mail, Becerra overtook Hilton as those ballots were counted, and Trump called it stolen on Truth Social without a single piece of evidence — then walked out of a Meet the Press interview when pressed for specifics.
The show covers the red mirage phenomenon and how it became Republican self-sabotage; the DOJ dispatching federal monitors to an LA County ballot center where they received the standard public tour available to any citizen; the MEGA Act and whether it's real election reform or political theater headed for a Senate wall; and what California's count means for the House majority when midterm headwinds arrive in November.
The central question the episode keeps returning to: can a party complain about a system it spent years convincing its own voters not to use? Weigh in — and tell us whether you think Hilton still has a path in November.
