A new poll of the California Wealth Tech shows 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,079 Speaker 2: it's got fifty percent support. 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: Which means if that passes, however, many billionaires are still here. 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: We're going to start looking for property in Nevada, in 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: Florida and Texas and everywhere else. Eight hundred two two 8 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,639 Speaker 1: two five two two two is a telephone number one 9 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: eight hundred two two two five two two two. It 10 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: is our pleasure to welcome our next guest to the program. 11 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: He is formerly of the Fox News Channel who is 12 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: a candidate for governor here in the state of California, 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: running as a Republican and doing quite well in recent polls. 14 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: The most recent poll he came out with the gold medal, 15 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: finishing in first place. You can get him online at 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: Golden toogether dot com and follow him on exit Steve 17 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: Hilton X. Steve Hilton, Welcome. 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 3: It's great to be with you. What are they talking about? 19 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 3: Fifty percent? I think that it's like, what have we 20 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 3: got a death wish going on here in this state. 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 4: It's just so ridiculous. 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about suicidal ideation. Passing that thing would be 23 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: just about the worst thing that the state of California 24 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: could do, especially when AI is just about ready to explode. 25 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: Yes, I mean, we already have the highest unemployment rate 26 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: in the country, we have the highest poverty rate in 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 3: the country, and the worst business climate in the country, 28 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: as measured by a pole of Every year Chief Executive 29 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 3: magazine does a survey. We've been fifty to out of 30 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 3: fifty states on business climate for the last ten years. 31 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 3: So that's why, because we're driving successful entrepreneurs and business 32 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 3: owners out of our state, and it's like, now, let's 33 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: really accelerated. That's the genius idea of these idiotic unions 34 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 3: and the Democrats and people like Roe Kana, who should 35 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 3: have more sense, pushing this stuff, the congressman from the 36 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: Bay Area. It's so insane. The only caveat I would 37 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 3: have is like they still have to get it on 38 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 3: the ballot. That hasn't happened yet. I mean, you can 39 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 3: assume you've got the unions pushing it. They got a 40 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 3: lot of money, so they'll probably buy the signatures that 41 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: they need, including a whole bunch of fake ones. We 42 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: saw videos of that the other day. But when you 43 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: get to the campaign, you're up against billionaires. Let's just 44 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 3: be honest. So there's that old saying. Maybe it's an 45 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 3: English thing. I don't know if you recognize it. It's 46 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: from the old newspaper days. Never pick a fight with 47 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 3: someone who buys ink by the barrel, referencing newspaper owners 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 3: who just you know, they can always get back at you. 49 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 3: Same with this, like, however much money the unions have 50 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 3: to get this across the line. You know you're talking 51 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: about billionaires. They got plenty of money to fight back. 52 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the recent polls that show you doing 53 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: quite well. They show you in first place, the most 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: recent one I took a look at, and certainly we're 55 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: now seeing a degree of panic going on right now 56 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: within the California Democratic Party, where they're not just worried 57 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: about you finishing first. They're worried about Chad Bianco, the 58 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: Republican sheriff of Riverside County, finishing second and the Democrats 59 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: being locked off the November ballot, and they are trying 60 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: like hell to get Democrats who are in single digits 61 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: to drop out of the race. So far, they only 62 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: have one taker and that was Ian Calderon, the former 63 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: assemblyman from Lydier, who had less than one percent. So 64 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: whether or not that'll have any impact on the race 65 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: at all is arguable, but none of the others have 66 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: taken them up on it. What do you make of 67 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: the panic that's setting in right now on the other 68 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: side of the aisle, and what does that say about 69 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: how you're resonating with the voters. 70 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, let's just look at the arrogance 71 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: of these people. Right They've been in power for sixteen 72 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: years to total control of everything, I mean in the legislature, 73 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 3: much longer than that, but it's now sixteen years of 74 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: complete control, one party rule by the Democrats, and they 75 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 3: feel like they're entitled to more of it. And they're 76 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 3: panicking at the thought that, oh, my gosh, you might 77 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 3: get a Republican in one of the statewide offices and 78 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: we don't have one hundred percent control of everything. How 79 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 3: unthinkable is that? The arrogance of these people, especially when 80 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 3: they've made such an absolute disastrous mess of everything, which 81 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 3: I mean I mentioned some of the big statistics earlier, 82 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 3: but on top of that, the crime, the homelessness, the 83 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 3: school results, everything such a disaster, and yet they think 84 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 3: they're entitled to another four eight years of total one 85 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: party rules. So it just reveals that arrogance. And that's 86 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 3: why one of the reasons I think they're going to 87 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: lose this year. People are sick of this. But in 88 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: terms of the specifics of the race, I think they're 89 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 3: actually regardless of whether any more of them drop out. 90 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 3: And I think it's because actually there's a bunch of 91 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 3: them in the sort of Vian Calderon, you know, zero 92 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: to one percent territory. They're, you know, Tony Furman, the 93 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 3: school's guy, and better ye the state control. They're not 94 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 3: much more than that, you know, And so I think 95 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 3: that you may see a couple more drop out, but 96 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to have much of an impact. 97 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 3: I think the much bigger impact is going to happen 98 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 3: when the unions really start kicking in their cash. And 99 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 3: I think that that, well, I know that has not 100 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 3: happened yet. Nearly all the spending, almost entire of the 101 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 3: money that's been spent so far in terms of advertising 102 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 3: is has been Tom Steyer, who's managed to sort of 103 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 3: push himself up from I don't know, low single digits 104 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: to high single digits, it seems. And now the new guy, 105 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 3: Matt Mayhan, the mayor of San Jose, who no one's 106 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 3: ever heard of, He's starting to spend a lot of money. 107 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: But the thing that hasn't happened is the union money. 108 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 3: And that's the real big one in California as we know, 109 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 3: especially the government unions, the teacher unions, the two biggest 110 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 3: forces in California union politics, teacher unions and SEIU. They 111 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 3: have not yet endorsed a candidate. A lot of the 112 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 3: other unions have and they've spread their endorsements around. That's 113 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 3: one of the reasons there isn't really a clear Democrat 114 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 3: front runner, but the big ones haven't yet. And I 115 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 3: think that what you could see within the next month 116 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 3: is there a bit of a coalescing behind one of 117 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 3: the leading Democrats. My guess is based on what I'm 118 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: hearing from Sacramento. I know even saying. 119 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 4: This is like, what are you serious? Is Eric Swalwell. 120 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: I think he's the guy they're going to get behind, 121 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,239 Speaker 3: And so I could see Eric Swollwell moving up quite 122 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 3: substantially with a combination of endorsements from people like maybe 123 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi, some of these big unions and money starting 124 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 3: to be spent on his behalf. 125 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: Eric Swollwell, of course, is a guy who may not 126 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: even live in the state of California. I guess now 127 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: the Sacramento Bee is saying that although he has a 128 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: house out of state, and I believe it's Maryland, we're 129 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: on bank documents, he has claimed as his primary residence 130 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: that he rents a room from someone else here in California, 131 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: and that is his domicile, a rented room, and not 132 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: where his wife and his kids certainly live. That seems 133 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: suspicious to me. Do you think he's even eligible to 134 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: be governor of California. 135 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 4: I think he is because I think that the. 136 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 3: Rule on that is pretty loose, like that they it's 137 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: something there's something that is about you have to have 138 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: lived here five years, be registered to vote here five 139 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 3: years to be eligible. But even I remember looking at 140 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 3: that ages ago when I was looking at running and 141 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 3: wanting to, you know, make sure it was eligible and 142 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: all that. And I remember seeing on the website from 143 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 3: the Sector of State an asterisk against that provision, and 144 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 3: at the bottom of the page it said, in the 145 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: view of this office, this provision is unconstitutional and unenforceable. 146 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: In other words, I think that you're going to have 147 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: a problem litigating that one. I think the bigger problem is, 148 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 3: like what is going on with him? Like, seriously, there's 149 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 3: the allegations of there's some funny business with a mortgage. 150 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: You're quite right, He's constantly going on about his family 151 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: and his kids. You know, he made some ridiculous cringe 152 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 3: video the other day in his kid's bedroom about some 153 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: I don't know what it was about, but you know, 154 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 3: using his kids in the video, and you think, what 155 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 3: doesn't even live there? 156 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 4: Like what is this? 157 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Gavin Newsom right now, who is clearly 158 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: running for president, and he announced that he wants to 159 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: spend twenty million dollars of California taxpayer money on an 160 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: ad campaign fighting quote unquote disinformation about the state of California. 161 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: I would imagine, Steve, that the disinformation that he plans 162 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: on combating is from people like you and people like 163 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: me who tell the truth about the failures in Gavin 164 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: Newsom and the Democratic supermajority here, how they failed us 165 00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: on the bullet train, on crime, on homelessness, on insurance, 166 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: and everything else. 167 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 3: Everything, literally everything else, you're exactly right. I put out 168 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 3: a video on this last Friday when I heard the story, 169 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 3: and not just the video was referencing the fact that 170 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 3: I wrote a letter to Rob Bond to the Attorney General. Okay, no, great, 171 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 3: hope that anything will happen, but you know, I don't 172 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: want to let these things slide. It's actually illegal. It's 173 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 3: California code. I believe it's eighty five fourteen. They've got 174 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 3: that slightly wrong. That it's very clear that you cannot 175 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 3: use public money for political purposes. And that's what this is. 176 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 3: It is obviously an attempt to boost his presidential campaign 177 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 3: by exactly as you say, countering the truth with his 178 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 3: lies that it thinks great in California and we are 179 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 3: supposed to pay for it when we have a massive 180 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 3: budget deficit and they're saying that they need even more 181 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 3: tax money. That's why the billionaire taxes on the table, 182 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: because there's not enough money. Oh but there's enough money 183 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 3: for some you know, image polishing campaign for Gavin News. 184 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: It's totally unacceptable and I think it's illegal, and so 185 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 3: I wrote the letter, and specifically I want BoNT to 186 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 3: look into the moment. It's at the stage of their 187 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 3: inviting you know, people to bid for the contract, and 188 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 3: I said, you've got to look at this and make 189 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: sure that it is compliant with the law. But there's 190 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 3: a very specific point, which is if Newsome himself appears 191 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 3: in these ads, if his image or video or anything 192 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 3: else appears in the ads, that is absolutely clearly illegal 193 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 3: and should be prosecuted. And of course, more generally, what 194 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 3: on earth are we doing wasting our money on this? 195 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 3: But it's all part of the story with these democrats, 196 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 3: the arrogant one party rule people. The same story as 197 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris using our money to pay for her security 198 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 3: detail on her ridiculous book tour, which is basically part 199 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 3: of her presidential campaign. These unbelievable machine politicians, they cannot 200 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 3: bear to be out of the limelight. They're constantly running 201 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: for office, and now they're expecting us. 202 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 4: To pay for it. It is completely outrageous. 203 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: I'd like to know if you have a message for 204 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: Jewish Californians, because right now there are many people of 205 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: the Jewish faith here in California who are extremely upset 206 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: at what Gavin Newsom had to say about the state 207 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: of Israel. Where in a forum recently he said that 208 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: the state of Israel is an apartheid state and should 209 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: be cut off of federal funds. We should no longer 210 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: support the state of Israel. He has sent sent Izzi, 211 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: his spokesman out is he Gardone, to issue a statement 212 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: making sure that everyone knows that he does still believe 213 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: that Israel does have a right to exist. Since then, 214 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: there have been just acts of horrific violence against Jews, 215 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: not just around the globe, but here in California, where 216 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: we learned recently that out of San Jose, that there 217 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: are reports of Israelis being violently attacked in San Jose 218 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: after assailants heard them speaking Hebrew at Augustine restaurant in 219 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: Santana Row. Any message for Jewish California onions right now. 220 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, what Gavin Newsom is saying and 221 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 3: doing is disgusting, and he's he's and he's pandering to 222 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: his far left base again entirely driven by his own 223 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 3: political ambitions, but in the process he's making Jewish people 224 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: less safe in California. I mean, this is my message 225 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: is very clear. You're not going to have a stronger 226 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 3: defender than me when I'm governor, not because I particularly 227 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 3: favor the Jewish people in California everyone else. But I'm 228 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 3: not going to tolerate a situation where you've got hate 229 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 3: and prejudice fanned by any part of the government or 230 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: the political system in California. And that is happening all 231 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 3: over the place in the UC system in public schools 232 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 3: you see, you know, like just small things, but they turned. 233 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 3: But you know, I was, I was. I've spent a 234 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: lot of time on this. I was at the there's 235 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 3: a Jewish forum in La the other a big, a 236 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 3: big debate with with the other candidates, the Democrats, just 237 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 3: the other week at the Skyball Center in LA And 238 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 3: I went into that, you know, understanding that it was 239 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 3: a primarily Democrat audience in the room as a big 240 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: audience about a thousand people plus many watching online. And 241 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 3: I didn't expect to, you know, win that debate. But 242 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 3: I did win that debate because I was the only 243 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: one that spoke out clearly against anti Jewish hate and 244 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 3: making clear commitments that I've been consistent about to any audience, 245 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 3: unlike a bunch of those Democrats there, like Eric Swalwell 246 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: was a good example, who pandered to the audience in 247 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 3: the room. Oh yes, I'm with you. And as well 248 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 3: as signing these ridiculous River to the C type resolutions 249 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 3: as a member of Congress, which he did after October 250 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 3: the seventh, And so all those things that these Democrats 251 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 3: are doing, like Swalwell signing that Revolution resolution, like Newsome 252 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: making that disgusting comment about an Aparte, say, all of 253 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: that gives sucker to the anti Jewish hate that is 254 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 3: a real thing in California. You've got you've got Jewish 255 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 3: students in public schools who are now afraid to reveal 256 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 3: their identity Jewish. You know, synagogues and Jewish centers are 257 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: up and down our state now having to fund their 258 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 3: own security costs because of the threats, and they can't 259 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 3: rely on the police. And so it's absolutely unacceptable to 260 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 3: me and I will not accept it as governor. 261 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: We have a lot of big city school districts in 262 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: California right now that are in trouble, including Oakland Unified 263 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: School District, where insolvency is something that some of the 264 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: elected officials on the school board say is around the corner. 265 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: Despite that fact, they just cut a deal with the teachers' 266 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: unions to give them a substantial raise. The feeling seems 267 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: to be, who cares if we go insolvent, Sacramento will 268 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: be there to bail us out. We don't need any 269 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: austerity here in Oakland. If you're elected to be governor 270 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: of California, would you bail out these poor performing school 271 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: districts or would you tell them to get their act 272 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: in order? 273 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: No, no, no. 274 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 3: We have to cut spending, not increase it. Because we 275 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 3: have to cut taxes. Because we have the highest taxes 276 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,239 Speaker 3: in the country. One of the reasons everyone's leaving. Businesses 277 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 3: and families are so expensive. We've got to cut the taxes. 278 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 3: The only way you can cut taxes responsibly is to 279 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: cut spending. So there's literally no more money. They've doubled 280 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 3: the budget of the state of California nearly in the 281 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 3: last five years. Right five years ago, the budget was 282 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty billion, now three hundred and fifty billion. 283 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 3: That's nearly doubled in five years. The idea that they 284 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 3: don't have enough money is absolutely a lie. You've got 285 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 3: these ridiculous democrats. 286 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 4: Swalwell's one of the Tom Styr as well. 287 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 3: I hear that I've done many debates against them. Now 288 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 3: they all say the same thing. Oh, we need more revenue, 289 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: more revenue, We need a complete bs Swollwell literally said 290 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 3: my top three priorities as governor revenue, revenue, revenue. 291 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 4: What are you on? 292 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,359 Speaker 3: Literally we are swimming in taxes and the burden that produces, 293 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 3: and the money is there, but it's going to all 294 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 3: these perks and privileges for the government unions they have. 295 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 3: Luxury health care is called we talk about pensions the 296 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 3: whole time they've negotiated these unbelievably generous pensions that regular 297 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 3: working people can never imagine. Same with healthcare is called 298 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 3: OPEP in the budget other post employment benefits. The bill 299 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 3: for that is now billions and billions of dollars a year. 300 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 3: This is luxury healthcare for government unions and retirees, which 301 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 3: again on a scale that regular people can't dream of, 302 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 3: not way beyond Obarmacare, which they told us was perfect 303 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 3: for multiple family members, Luxury healthcare, all of these perks 304 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 3: that the unions have negotiated, that needs to be renegotiated 305 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 3: to reduce that. So that's where a lot of the 306 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 3: money is going. And then, of course the other huge 307 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: area is the fraud that's fueling the Democrat party machine. 308 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 3: I mean I set up cal Doge just about a 309 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 3: month or so ago with my colleagues on the Golden 310 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 3: Ticket running with me Herb Morgan running for state control 311 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 3: of Michael Gates for AG, Gloria Romero for Lieutenant governor. 312 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 3: Announced it together cal Doze right now. Obviously we're not elected, 313 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 3: its volunteers, we don't have any official role. But just 314 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 3: from the work that we're doing with our fraud investigators 315 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 3: and volunteers, we've uncovered two massive stories just in the 316 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 3: last couple of weeks. Number one was the cannabis tax, 317 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 3: three hundred and seventy million dollars of that actually coming 318 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 3: from the gas tax from the Climate for MCCAP and 319 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 3: Trade fund. That was basically our gas taxes and electric 320 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 3: bill surcharges supposed to be spent on substance abuse prevention 321 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 3: actually going into all these Democrat activist groups doing voter 322 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 3: registration and all the usion nonsense. And then just the 323 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 3: other week, we have one billion dollars with a B 324 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 3: supposed to be spent over the last ten years on 325 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 3: installing solar panels on low income apartment buildings. Of that 326 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 3: total amount, which has all been spent seventy two million 327 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 3: only was actually spent on the solar panels nine hundred 328 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 3: and twenty eight million, again going into all this political activity, 329 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 3: voter registration, community, organizing, all this stuff to build the 330 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 3: Democrat party machine. And so we're starting to see their 331 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 3: business model. They put this money, they say, oh, we're 332 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 3: going to increase taxes, spend it on this good course 333 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 3: that normal people would agree with. But then when you 334 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 3: dig into it, the money's not going to that, it's 335 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 3: actually going to Democrat political machine building. And when we 336 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 3: stop that, we're going to be able to cut spending 337 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 3: in taxes as well. 338 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: Steve Hilton candidate for governor.
