Alan Jackson On Hot Mics- What Nick Reiner Wants + L.A.'s Ballot Battle + Mackenzie's Prison Mate Jun 10, 2026

Show notes

Guest: Alan Jackson, Re: Nick Reiner

Karen Bass or Nithya Raman — Billy Bush makes his call, and it might surprise you. Then: the LA mayoral race is called, but the story underneath it isn't over. Nearly 1,200 people registered to vote at a homeless shelter with 132 beds. A $600K check. Harvested ballots. The DOJ already arrested a Skid Row signature gatherer. Billy has the breakdown no one else is giving you — and a Republican election attorney who says what even Trump supporters don't want to hear about whether it changed the outcome.
Plus: America's top criminal defense attorney Alan Jackson joins live from Boston. Michael Proctor's deposition — the racist, fired detective at the center of the Karen Read civil case — was blocked at the last minute. What happened, what the judge said, and what comes next on June 25th. Then Alan drops a bombshell: he may be back on the Nick Reiner case.
And: Kat Crowder — who went by "Bougie Behind Bars" on TikTok — was incarcerated at the same Ohio women's prison as Mackenzie Schirrilla. She gives an inside account of who Kenzie really is in there — before the Netflix cameras showed up. The makeup, the cliques, the disciplinary write-ups, and why the girl on the documentary sounds nothing like the girl Kat knew.
