00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Right News round Up and Information Overload hour toll free.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Here's on number. It's eight hundred and nine to four

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: one sean if you want to be a part of

4
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: the program. When I spoke with President Trump yesterday, I

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: brought up the issue of this being a midterm election year.

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: I am arguing the most important midterm in our lifetime,

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: because if Democrats get back in power, I'm going to

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 1: predict with one hundred percent certainty what things are going

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: to look like. All progress that the President is making

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: both on the domestic front, and we saw unbelievable numbers

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: today from the Atlanta Fed, you know now, pointing out

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: five point one percent fourth quarter growth on top of

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: the third quarter growth of four point three percent. If

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: you've been listening to this program regularly, you know that

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I've been saying, well, I'm willing to give some runway

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: because of all the President's policies. It is mathematically impossible

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: not to see math of economic growth, largest tax cuts

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: in history, the opening of policies that will lead to

19
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: energy dominance, that lowers the cost of everything you buy

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: at every store that you go to. It impacts every

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: industry in every imaginable way, especially in the AI era,

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: it needs massive amounts of energy. Those policies coupled with

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: something the country has never seen before, which is trillions

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: and trillions of dollars in committed manufacturing investment money. And

25
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: that's for rare earths, that's for semiconductor chips, that's for automobiles,

26
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: that is for national security defense spending. I mean, this

27
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: is going to create a ton of high paying career

28
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: jobs for many of you out there.

29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: And when these.

30
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: Jobs get online, we're going to somehow going to figure

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: out a way to make you aware of all of

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: them so you can get ahead of the curve. And then,

33
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: of course, on the foreign policy for you, not only

34
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: did the President help and involve himself and expend political

35
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: capital and helping to end eight nine depending how you

36
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: count conflicts around the world, and he's working hard to

37
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: finish the job in the Middle East, and working hard

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: to finish the job with Ukraine and Russia. As we

39
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: discussed last night, he's found out the most difficult of

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: all of them. Then, of course you see the president's

41
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: actions in Venezuela, him taking out the Iranian nuclear sites

42
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: and keeping in line with his stated policy of no

43
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: forever wars well, right now, the president, we have a

44
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: new poll out today. I don't trust these other posters.

45
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you right now, there are very few

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: people that have in the last ten years consistently accurately

47
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: polled Donald J.

48
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: Trump.

49
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: There are not many of them, and we're going to

50
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: introduce there's two of them to you in a second.

51
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: But I would I would argue Rasmussen has been pretty

52
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: consistently on target. I would argue John McLaughlin and associates

53
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: has been pretty consistently on target. Maybe there's an Atlas.

54
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know who Atlas Polling is. Nobody knows

55
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: who they are. Although they didn't do a particularly good

56
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: job in the New York mayoral race, but nationally heading

57
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: into the last election, they actually did a pretty good

58
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: job the last two election cycles. Got to give him

59
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: credit for that. The two people that I would argue

60
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: that have been most consistent in polling President Trump perfectly

61
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: are Matt Towery Insider Advantage, Robert Kaheley with Trafalgar, and

62
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: they have come out with a joint poll together. Well

63
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: it's actually Robert Kahelly with Trafalgar, I think, and it

64
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: has President Trump his approval rating at fifty point two

65
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: percent disapproval rating at forty four point six percent, any

66
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: president polling at fi fifty percent in a midterm election year,

67
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: the odds are significantly higher that the party in power

68
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: can maintain control of Congress. That's why I keep saying

69
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: it's the most important midterm you will see in your lifetime.

70
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: Otherwise Democrats will have nothing but endless investigation, endless impeachment,

71
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: endless obstruction, and all the great progress and hard work

72
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: that the President, the administration Republicans have been active and

73
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: involved in. We were expecting a decision today on the

74
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: issue of redistricting and jerry mandering, etc.

75
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: And I'm hoping that comes out the right way.

76
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: But if it does, Republicans odds will go up significantly.

77
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: But anyway, but a fifty percent approval rating forty four

78
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: percent disapproval rating is a good number for a president

79
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: going into a midterm election year. Now, it is only

80
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: happened three times in the last hundred years and four

81
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: times in the last one hundred and fifty years that

82
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: the party in power maintains control of Congress. That's why

83
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: this poll matters. Anyway, we welcome back and are proud

84
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: to introduce our friends att Towery Insider Advantage, Robert Kahley,

85
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: the Trafalgar Group, guys, welcome back. Always good to have you,

86
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us.

87
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: Thank you, happy to be with you, happy to be here.

88
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, madam, I wrong am.

89
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: I analysis about those people that consistently are incapable of

90
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: polling Donald Trump. It seems to be a widespread phenomenon.

91
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I mean, we've seen this for

92
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: what three presidential cycles. They it's a combination of things.

93
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 3: It's the way they go about gathering their data. A

94
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: lot of it's old fashioned or some of it's very new,

95
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: using panels that are very liberal, and so it's very hard.

96
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 3: You have to get to the heart of the real

97
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: what we call the shi Trump voter and in this case,

98
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: the shy Trump approver approver or non approver.

99
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 4: And it's hard to do.

100
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: And the president I had the president of fifty about

101
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: a week ago. Robert has him at fifty. Now this

102
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: a few days ago, and he goes up and down

103
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: out of this week's going to be sort of iffy

104
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: because a whole lot of stuff has gone on, and

105
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: the public always says, trouble digesting this stuff. But he's

106
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: staying consistently much higher than these.

107
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: Well, I think you're talking about Minnesota. But new video

108
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: came out today, and this video is extraordinarily revealing, and

109
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: it shows how confrontational the passenger in the car was

110
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: in this case of Minnesota, and a very clear view

111
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: that in fact, that car was driven right at that officer,

112
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: and to me, it's a slam dunk case at this point.

113
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 3: The yea.

114
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: And on the issue of Maduro, you pulled that independently,

115
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: didn't you.

116
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: I did, and it sort of went this way.

117
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 4: Sean.

118
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: We started in the morning after all this, and the

119
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: numbers were very good as the day went on. On

120
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: Sunday they went down a bit, but that's because the

121
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: President really didn't say anything else about it that day publicly,

122
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: and you just had Marco Rubio, who did an excellent

123
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: job on the three network talk shows. But most people

124
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: don't watch that stuff, and so the public. We're going

125
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: through a little time period right now where the public's

126
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: a little confused on some of these things, and so

127
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: the numbers are going to go up and down a

128
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: little bit. I'm sure Robert would agree with that.

129
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: Well, if peace and prosperity, Robert Haley drive elections. The

130
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Atlanta Fed now pointing out the fourth quarter growth was

131
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: five point one percent.

132
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: That to me is a shocking number.

133
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: As optimistic as I've been about the economy, and again

134
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: the trillions and committed manufacturing dollars for investment, and the

135
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: president's energy policies and the largest tax cuts in history,

136
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: and how all these policies, no tax on tips, overtime

137
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: social Security, you get to deduct any car loan you

138
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: may take out. That is all impactful towards hard working Americans,

139
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: the middle class in this country. And no president has

140
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: worked harder for them. And I think that you know,

141
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: this affordability issue is dying on the vine for Democrats.

142
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 5: Well, the key is that people know it. And that's

143
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 5: the place that we think there could be a lot

144
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 5: more work done. I mean, you've seen so many opportunities

145
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 5: to put that message out. I mean, Matt and I

146
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 5: talked about the idea that of a Thanksgiving Why in

147
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 5: the world with a three huge NFL games, why would

148
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 5: I add telling people the difference in price that a

149
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 5: Thanksgiving meal went down? I mean, there, it's got to

150
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 5: be a greater effort to educate people as the things

151
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 5: happen for them. You can say their tax on tips,

152
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 5: but they haven't felt that yet. I mean, you've got

153
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 5: to demonstrate to them how much they're gonna save. That

154
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: there needs to be a real education effort so the

155
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 5: people can see what's happening, because we can't just wait

156
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 5: or to trickle down and people to feel it a

157
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 5: little bit at a time, because people are always going

158
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 5: to think prices are too high. And as long as

159
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 5: you know eighty percent of the public and Matt recently

160
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 5: did a poll on this, that the eighty percent of

161
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 5: the republic doesn't get their information from any place other

162
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 5: than the main stream. So we've got to penetrate that.

163
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 5: And if it means that, it has to be paid

164
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 5: paid media, whatever it takes. But there has gotten to

165
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 5: be a major effort. This old bottle of just waiting

166
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 5: until six weeks before an election and in day the

167
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 5: ads all over the the every area in advertising isn't

168
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 5: going to be enough. This should be starting now.

169
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, if you know we now

170
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: have seen Matt, I want to go specific pickly, go

171
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: to the economy, and I did not expect the last

172
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: two quarters to be growing at this rate. This accelerated rate.

173
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: If these numbers remain consistent and even continue to grow

174
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: from here, how impactful will that be in a mid term.

175
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 3: The problem that we have now is that Robert alluded

176
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 3: to my media poll about twenty five percent of Americans

177
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: get their news from center to center right sources. Basically

178
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: Fox News holds up that entire twenty five So half

179
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 3: quarter of the country's getting their news primarily from Fox News,

180
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: but for everybody else, they're getting it from Apple and

181
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: Yahoo and CBS and NBC and ABC and CBS may

182
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: be changing a little bit, but the slant they put

183
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 3: on everything is so unbelievable that even if you have

184
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: a great GDP number, they won't tell anyone. They focus

185
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: on the negative. They have focused on the negative. To

186
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: your point, you talked about this video that just came out.

187
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 3: It's very I'm a lawyer, I know I look at

188
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: that at it. This is bodycam from the individual. Is

189
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: that not correct? The new video?

190
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it is devastating to the lie that is

191
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: being has been told by you know, this idiot mayor

192
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: and the city of governor of Minnesota, right, and.

193
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 3: These and the women were taunting them, and that they

194
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: were clearly not there as just you know, legal observers.

195
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: But but of course the national media the other media

196
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: won't tell people that. So there's got to be a way.

197
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: We talked about this year after year after year. But

198
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: you know, we have to understand right now that in

199
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: the generic ballot for Congress, there has only been one

200
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,479
Speaker 3: poll out of the last thirteen that has had Republicans

201
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: winning Congress. Every poll on the real clear politics average,

202
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: every single one, it's had the Democrats winning. And so

203
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: the Republicans need to wake up and realize they've got

204
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: a great president. But they can't hide him there or

205
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 3: ask him to do all the work. They've got to

206
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: start telling people. Now, you know, you make your hay.

207
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 3: Remember I've said this before miny cycles.

208
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 5: You make your hay in May.

209
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: You don't make it in June and July and October

210
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 3: because then everybody's got their ads running and they're battling.

211
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: So I just think the Republicans are not doing a

212
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: good enough job of supporting the president in terms of

213
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: their messaging on television, on social media and the like,

214
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: and they got to step it up and tell people

215
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 3: how great this economy is getting so quickly, and tell

216
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: people the truth about what's going on in Minnesota and

217
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: tell people the truth about what he's doing with regard

218
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 3: to Venezuela instead of ready letting ABC News and George

219
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 3: Stephanopolis frame it for them.

220
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 2: You agree with that analysis, Robert Gahelly, Absolutely.

221
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 5: And this is what and I've been talking about for years,

222
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 5: and it's a broken model. It doesn't work anymore, and

223
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 5: they've got to stop because the president again can't be

224
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 5: the only messenger. I mean, it's got to be more,

225
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 5: and it has to be focused on educating people. I mean,

226
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 5: imagine if the money that was spent in New Jersey

227
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 5: and in Virginia had been spent putting forth a Republican

228
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 5: position on the shutdown. Both that and I have argued

229
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 5: those elections would have turned out differently. But the shutdown

230
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 5: is what had the absolute ultimate impact on those elections.

231
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 5: And all the fear factor and going along with the

232
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 5: fact that you know, people are pushing the idea that

233
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 5: everybody's going to lose all your checks and everything that

234
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 5: you've got coming to you was enough to scare enough

235
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 5: voters at the last minute. That's what explains the way

236
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,359
Speaker 5: those poll numbers started to crash in the last ten days.

237
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the good news is we got time to

238
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: get the message out real quick.

239
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: Matt Cohn, I give you a great example right now.

240
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: What if they're an edge that showed Biden when he

241
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 3: came out and offered I think it was a twenty

242
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 3: five million dollar bounty on the head of Maduro. Another

243
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 3: part of it saying from regular news saying President Trump

244
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: today invaded Venezuela and captured Madua. I mean, I don't

245
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 3: I don't understand why in the world we're not doing

246
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 3: that and seeing that from the Republicans because.

247
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 4: To me, yeah, it's people.

248
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: I agree.

249
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean, unfortunately, you know, it's the amount of fake

250
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: news out there and outright lying and political spin. I mean,

251
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: it's it's toxic at this point. But guys, great poll.

252
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: We're going to have you on often. This is to me,

253
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: the most important election year in our lifetime, and I'm

254
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: asking this audience to promise me one thing that if

255
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,119
Speaker 1: they do nothing else this year, they vote in November.

256
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: They've got to get out and vote and know what's

257
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: at stake here. Appreciate you, guys.

258
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: Thank you.

259
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine to four one Sean. If you

260
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program Believe it

261
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: or not. This week is the one year anniversary since

262
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: the Pacific Palisades fires.

263
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: And I've been reading a lot about it.

264
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: The La Times actually had a great expos on this,

265
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: and in the exposay they identified something a fact that

266
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: they had long been forgotten by many and prior to

267
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: the wildfires. Now, remember, wildfires in California are predictable. They

268
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: don't practice the science of forestry out there. Santa Ana

269
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: Winds and I live five years in Santa Barbara in

270
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: the eighties, and I know all about them. I mean,

271
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: they are predictable events. Wildfires are predictable events. If you

272
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: practice forestry, removing the kindling around inside of the forest

273
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: and eliminating dead trees, et cetera, that lessens the ability

274
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: of these fires to spread the way they did, the

275
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: way we saw a year ago. And you know, all

276
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: of these people, thousands of people lost their homes, and

277
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: only a few hundred, according to the last reading I've seen,

278
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: have been able to even get a permit to start

279
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: the process of rebuilding. Many people now are are just

280
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: abandoning their properties for good. They're now forced to still

281
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: pay property taxes, which is unfathomable. We've had people call

282
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: the show and tell us these heartbreaking stories and then

283
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: they have to pay on insurance on top of it all.

284
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just not comprehensible to me. And you know,

285
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: you look at issues like this, and then you look

286
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: at a guy like Gavin Newsom is clearly running to

287
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: be president in twenty twenty eight, and let me be

288
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: very clear, you know, have your eyes wide open.

289
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: This guy is slick. He is.

290
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: He is as slick as they come. He is deceitful.

291
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't tell the truth. You know, he had he

292
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: had no rationale for why there was no water and

293
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: those fire hydrants. Gets angry when it gets pointed out

294
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: he had no rationale while the reservoir was was empty.

295
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: You need to ask local officials. A woman comes running

296
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: up to him, Governor, Governor, I'd like to talk to

297
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: you about it. I lost my home. What are you

298
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna do about it? I'm talking to President Biden right now.

299
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: Turns out, well, I'm calling President Biden right now because

300
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: the lady says, can I talk to him? I mean

301
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: just flat out lies to this poor lady. But anyway,

302
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: on this anniversary, we wanted to Welcome back to the program,

303
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: Steve Hilton. He's a Gubinatorio candidate for California. Also our

304
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: friend John Conn Now John conn is an editor at Breitbart.

305
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: He wrote this terrific song by the way, after it burns.

306
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: I'll play a bit of it in a second. But

307
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, he wrote this song called Fighter that brought

308
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: America's resilience to life. Following the attempted assassination of President Trump,

309
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: he lost his house in the Pacific Palisades fire. Let

310
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: me just play a quick sample here.

311
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 6: I can solder on this far. Just stick yo shot

312
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:19,639

Speaker 7: Don't drove them sounds yes, yeah, don't cass you. And

Speaker 7: then last bit sire you are awa time. Yeah, I'm

00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 7: a faster.

317
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 2: All right.

318
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: Joining us now is John conn and Steve Hilton. Welcome

319
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: both of you to the program again. John, my heart

320
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: goes out to you. It's a year later. Have you

321
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: been able to able to get a permit to rebuild

322
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: your home? And what percentage of people that lost their

323
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: homes were able to get permits?

324
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 8: Well, Hi, Sean, thanks for having me. I haven't even

325
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 8: started the process because as we mentioned, as we talked

326
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 8: about last time, I still don't have all my insurance money,

327
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 8: which is a very common theme. And it's impossible to

328
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 8: plan your life if you don't know how much of

329
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 8: your insurance money you're going to get and when you're

330
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 8: going to get it.

331
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 7: And as how is it possible a year after the

332
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 7: fires you've not had a resolution with your insurance company.

333
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: How is that possible?

334
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 8: I don't know how it's possible. I think it's part

335
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 8: of a Steve and I were talking about this not

336
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 8: too long ago. I think there's sort of a force

337
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 8: to break the collective will of the people, and I

338
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 8: think the insurance is part of it, and I think

339
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 8: the crippling permitting process is part of it. It's sort

340
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 8: of a psyops land grap And as you said in

341
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 8: your opening, you know people are giving up sadly because

342
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 8: they can't afford to rebuilt, and they just don't want

343
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 8: to wait four or five years to restart their lives again.

344
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so so I already hear that. I'm

345
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: sure that that's got to be very disturbing and uprooting

346
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: to you and to your family, and very frustrating to

347
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: both of you. And now did you have the state

348
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: insurance or your own private insurance?

349
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 8: I had private insurance. You know, I was very under

350
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 8: insured because nobody thought this could possibly happen. And I'm still,

351
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 8: you know, waiting for the for the payout. I don't

352
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 8: know how much they're going to get me. I've gotten

353
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 8: some of it, but like I said, I mean, it's

354
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 8: hard to plan what you're going to do if you

355
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 8: don't know how much money.

356
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 4: You have to do.

357
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: It unbelievable.

358
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 6: You know.

359
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: I saw your your ex post, Steve Hilton, and and

360
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: by the way, I'd love to see you become the

361
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: governor of California. I worry about the demographics. Just this week,

362
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean within the last week week and a half,

363
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: one of the co founders of Google, I believe it

364
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: was Larry Page, said that he's leaving California because they're

365
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: about to institute a billionaire's tax. Larry Ellison, the second

366
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: richest guy in the country, the founder of Oracle, He's

367
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: leaving the state. And as a matter of fact, he

368
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: just bought a massive piece of land in South Florida

369
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: and bought a huge hotel in South Florida, he's getting

370
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: out of there, and I don't blame him. Five percent

371
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 1: confiscation of wealth after you already paid taxes on it.

372
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean, who would want to stay in the inn

373
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: a state that's stealing their money like that.

374
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: Well, Sean, it's great to be with you and good

375
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 4: to talk again. John. You're right, it's insane. Everything is insane.

376
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 4: That was what was so insulting about Gavin Newsom State

377
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 4: of the State speech yesterday. I did a rebuttal. I

378
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 4: put it on my social media. I mean, we haven't

379
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 4: got time to get into all of it. It was

380
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 4: literally lie after lie after lie to cover up his

381
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 4: failure after failure after failure. I mean, I don't even

382
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 4: know where to start. Just on the fires. That lady

383
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 4: you mentioned who went up to Newsome, he lied to

384
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 4: her about who he was talking to on the phone

385
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 4: a year ago. That's Rachel Darvish, and she was with me.

386
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: We were together at a press conference that we did

387
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 4: on the morning of Wednesday morning, the anniversary. We laid

388
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 4: out our plans, my plans to make sure this never

389
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 4: happens again. And it's so obvious common sense, like you say,

390
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 4: just proper forest management, and it's worse than just that

391
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 4: they didn't do it. It's even worse than that. I've

392
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 4: talked to people, their residents in the Palisades, in the area,

393
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 4: they had a state agency, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy,

394
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 4: finding them for doing the responsible thing. Caitlin Jenna tells

395
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 4: me the same story, clearing brush from around their property

396
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 4: to create defensible space. They were fined for doing it.

397
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable. You look at the fire department now, the

398
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: leaders were getting from inside there. The fire that actually

399
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 4: led to the Palisades Fire started a week before. It

400
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 4: was called the Lachman Fire, and the fire department went

401
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 4: to put it out they could see it was still smoldering.

402
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 4: We now know that they did not send in bulldozers

403
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 4: as they thought they should to extinguish that fire because

404
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: it were worried about offending the environmental rules that were

405
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 4: protecting the milk vetch, some little plant that they're obsessed about.

406
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 4: It's just insane.

407
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 1: Well, my understanding is is that the fire department wanted

408
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: to to remove any remaining embers that were burning there,

409
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: knowing the danger that existed, and they were pulled from

410
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: the fire. They were ordered away from doing their job

411
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: which they knew, which they wanted to complete. They had

412
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: a desire to complete that.

413
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 4: It's it's exactly right. And the interesting thing I spoke

414
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 4: at that event in the Palisades that they let us

415
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 4: burn event, the rally for the local community. Spencer Pratt

416
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 4: was there, That's where he announced his campaign for La Mayor.

417
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 4: I spoke there as well. But I stood there and

418
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 4: listened for the whole about two and a half nearby

419
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 4: three hours right, and listened to the residents. What struck me?

420
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 4: Even if someone I've been on this audio, I've been

421
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 4: back many times to the Palisades. I followed it in detail,

422
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 4: the policies and all the failures that need to be corrected.

423
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 4: Even I was stunned by two things. The fury of

424
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 4: those people, the absolute fury and rage and contempt for

425
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 4: Gavin Usome and Carembas because it just gets worse.

426
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 5: The lack of.

427
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 4: Any kind of decent response. The failure to deliver all

428
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 4: the promises they made about streamlining and expediting. Gavin, you

429
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 4: some a year ago said, are we going to do

430
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 4: a Marshall plan to rebuild La total bs all of it?

431
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 4: They are so pure, This is not a Republican area.

432
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 4: Most people they're Democrats. They are so sick of it.

433
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 4: And actually it is a symbol of what's been going

434
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 4: on right across the state of California because you have

435
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 4: people in charge who are this terrible combination of ideology

436
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 4: far left ideology. That's where you get the environmental extremism

437
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 4: that stops them from doing the sensible things for the forest,

438
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 4: plus incompetence, just total governing incompetence, and then just negligence

439
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 4: when they let all these terrible things happen. That connects

440
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 4: to the fraud story, which is massive in California.

441
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 5: I know.

442
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 4: So just the whole thing is just such a colossal

443
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 4: failure on every front, and all that Gavin Newsom has

444
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 4: got in response is to lie about it because the

445
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 4: truth is so damaging to him.

446
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, my understanding is what's happened in

447
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota with this institutionalized fraud as it relates to Medicare, etc.

448
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: That California's next. Is that what you're both hearing, Steve,

449
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: I'll ask you first.

450
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look very quickly on this story when

451
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 4: it blew up over Thanksgiving last year. I immediately said,

452
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 4: you saw the whistleblowers in Minnesota who were being victimized

453
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 4: in silenced by Tim Wold and the machine there. So

454
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 4: I said, look, we need to get the whistleblowers out

455
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,959
Speaker 4: here in California. I set up a tip line, an

456
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 4: anonymous light called califraud dot com. Over the last month

457
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 4: we've had hundreds of tips which we've been following up.

458
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 4: We're looking into the areas that they've highlighted, made some

459
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 4: estimates around the size of budgets other reported fraud, for example,

460
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 4: twenty four billion on homelessness, fifty five billion the Employment Department,

461
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 4: all these things. We've added it up and we published

462
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 4: this week our estimate of what the fraud is in California.

463
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 4: Our number is two hundred and fifty billion. And at

464
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 4: the same time, on Monday, I wrote to Pam Bondi,

465
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 4: I spoke to the President about it. We've got to

466
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 4: get an investigation going. Obviously, when I'm elected in November

467
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 4: and planned to be the governor, along with a guy

468
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 4: called Herb Morgan who's running for state Controller, who has

469
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: the power to audit every organization receiving state money, we

470
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 4: can get on with it in California. But in the meantime,

471
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 4: It's great that we've known federal attention because that's what

472
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 4: we need.

473
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, John, I mean, i'd like to believe.

474
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: I know in my heart that Steve would be a

475
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: phenomenal governor in California.

476
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 2: I know that.

477
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: My question is, with mass migration out of California, is

478
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: it possible?

479
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 8: Well? I think that's why keeping this story alive is

480
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 8: really important, not just for the victims but politically, because

481
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 8: it really exposes the failures in democratic leadership from everything

482
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 8: you guys have discussed, from the environmental policies to the

483
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 8: lack of prepared faredness from the city, the empty aqueduct,

484
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 8: the lack of water, the poor maintenance of the fire trucks,

485
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 8: the permitting process, the democratic insurance commissioner who's let everybody

486
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 8: dangle and speaking a fraud. You've got one hundred million

487
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 8: dollars fire, a concert where the victims have never seen

488
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 8: a single dime from that, and it went to all

489
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 8: left wing causes which we just learned, like including Native

490
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 8: American voting registration or something like that. Nobody's seen a dime.

491
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 8: So this, this Palisades fire story shines a light on

492
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 8: all craft failures of leadership, and I think people are

493
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 8: seeing it, and I think the more we expose it,

494
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 8: the better chance Steve has to come in and say,

495
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 8: the great state of California.

496
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: I hope you, Steve, like the last great hope out there,

497
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: and we're going to be very active in trying to

498
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: support you and make the people of California where that

499
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: they do have a choice they can fix the State

500
00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: of California is maybe their last chance. Steve Hilton, appreciate you.

501
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: John again, our deepest sympathies for what happened to you

502
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: and your family and all you're going through.

503
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: We appreciate both of you.

504
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 4: Thanks, Thank you.

505
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 3: Sean.

506
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.

507
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: We have reporters on the ground. We expect more protests

508
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis tonight, which in light of the new evidence

509
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: which we will show you really are not worth the

510
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: time of day. But of course that won't stop these

511
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: AstroTurf lunatics. Say DVR news. You'll never get from the

512
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: media mob. Don't ever miss an episode nine Eastern, say

513
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: a DVR Hannity, Fox News see you tonight.

514
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: Have a great weekend.

515
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: We'll be back here on Monday, and thank you for

516
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: making this show possible,
