This episode, we dive into the latest controversy surrounding DSA Councilwoman Nithya Raman and her comments about L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and Police Chief Jim McDonald. According to the latest polls, Raman is leading Bass by 11 points, but it's not just the numbers that are making headlines. Raman's campaign is facing backlash after a video surfaced of her calling Bass and McDonald "fascist." But was the video edited to make her look bad, or was it a genuine expression of her views? We explore the details of the controversy and what it means for the election. The video in question was posted by a popular influencer, Ed Choi, who has nearly 400,000 followers on social media.

We discuss the potential consequences of a Raman or Bass victory and what it might mean for the future of the city.
