Keeping It Real: Conversations with Jillian Michaels

Is California beyond saving? Or is this the biggest political cover-up in America?

Real estate mogul, entrepreneur, and former California gubernatorial candidate Elaine Culotti joins Jillian Michaels for an explosive conversation about the hidden systems she says are driving California into collapse.

From ballot harvesting and voter roll controversies to homeless spending, high-speed rail failures, NGOs, special interests, Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and billions of taxpayer dollars disappearing into bureaucracy, this episode pulls back the curtain on what many believe is a broken system.

Why does California keep electing the same leaders despite rising crime, failing infrastructure, and a worsening affordability crisis? Who is actually benefiting? And can the state still be saved?

Elaine doesn't hold back.

California election integrity

Ballot harvesting explained

Gavin Newsom's "Break the Glass" comments

The news is in bananas this week and we're tracking every single hilarious, desperate, and corrupt moment.

First up: real corruption is unraveling in California. Gavin Newsom's former Chief of Staff, Dana Williamson, has officially pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud charges in a massive campaign embezzlement scheme. Now, federal investigators are turning their sights on Newsom, his wife, and his inner circle. Is the golden boy’s house of cards finally collapsing?

Meanwhile, Hollywood's aging elite are back at it again. Outraged over President Trump's electric UFC event, a group of ultra-wealthy white hollywood liberals (Jane Fonda & Robert Deniro) staged a "RISE UP" counter-protest to profess their hatred for trump for America. Then Joy Reid practically vibrated with rage calling the president names and blaming him for the cancellation of her career.

But it's not all hollywood hypocrisy— capitalism just won the ultimate championship ring. SpaceX went public, and Elon Musk has officially become the world’s very first trillionaire. If you love American innovation and free speech, you’re cheering—but if you watch MSNBC, it’s the literal end of days. We break down the absolute jealousy driving the "eat the rich" crowd's latest hyperventilation.

Plus, we look at the devastating new Statutory Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs rocking the UK, and how Vice President JD Vance just walked into the lion’s den on The View to promote his new book Communion—and left all six co-hosts completely outmatched.

The ActBlue Scandal: What Are They Hiding?

🚨 The CEO of the Democratic Party's $19 billion fundraising machine took the Fifth. 22 times. Including when asked if she deliberately misled Congress about how the platform screens for campaign finance fraud.

On June 10, 2026, ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones sat before the House Administration Committee under subpoena—and what happened next shocked Capitol Hill. Surrounded by explosive allegations of systemic campaign finance violations, money laundering, and illegal foreign cash flooding into American elections, she went completely silent. But Congress already has the receipts. How deep does this actually go?

👇 EXPLORE THE EVIDENCE 👇

Internal documents obtained under subpoena reveal a stunning look inside a massive corporate machine facing total exposure: Lax Vetting Standards: Whistleblowers and internal training memos allege ActBlue intentionally relaxed its fraud filters during a major election year—allowing transactions without standard card verification. The Target List: Investigators are probing 237 foreign-IP transactions that slipped through the system in a critical 30-day window, alongside automated bot networks mimicking everyday donors. Mass Staff Exodus: Five current and former ActBlue employees—including top compliance officers and general counsel—invoked the Fifth Amendment a combined 146 times before their sudden departures or terminations. Meanwhile, a federal judge has frozen Texas AG Ken Paxton’s multi-state legal assault on the platform, just days after rising Democratic star James Talarico brought in record-breaking fundraising numbers. Is it a coincidence, or the frantic protection of a vital political pipeline? This isn't just about one side. WinRed, the Republican fundraising giant, has faced its own fierce scrutiny with hundreds of FTC complaints and major vulnerabilities. If both sides are wide open to bad actors... who is actually choosing America's leaders?

THIS EPISODE BREAKS DOWN:

✅ The ActBlue congressional investigation explained

✅ Regina Wallace-Jones's Fifth Amendment testimony

✅ How bot-driven "smurfing" donations allegedly work

✅ James Talarico and Ken Paxton's Senate Race battle

✅ Why election integrity concerns are growing on BOTH sides

✅ What this means for the upcoming 2026 and 2028 cycles —

💬 IS THIS THE BIGGEST CAMPAIGN FINANCE SCANDAL IN U.S. HISTORY? Are both major political parties fundamentally broken when it comes to tracking money, or is this a targeted partisan hit job?

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.

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.
