WEBVTT - Midterms Ahead 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.680 Right News round Up and Information Overload hour toll free. 0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:04.400 Here's on number. It's eight hundred and nine to four 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:06.760 one sean if you want to be a part of 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:11.440 the program. When I spoke with President Trump yesterday, I 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:14.720 brought up the issue of this being a midterm election year. 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:20.360 I am arguing the most important midterm in our lifetime, 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:23.640 because if Democrats get back in power, I'm going to 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:28.159 predict with one hundred percent certainty what things are going 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:32.360 to look like. All progress that the President is making 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:37.479 both on the domestic front, and we saw unbelievable numbers 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:40.640 today from the Atlanta Fed, you know now, pointing out 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.320 five point one percent fourth quarter growth on top of 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.839 the third quarter growth of four point three percent. If 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.080 you've been listening to this program regularly, you know that 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.520 I've been saying, well, I'm willing to give some runway 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:59.120 because of all the President's policies. It is mathematically impossible 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.160 not to see math of economic growth, largest tax cuts 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:07.240 in history, the opening of policies that will lead to 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:11.480 energy dominance, that lowers the cost of everything you buy 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.280 at every store that you go to. It impacts every 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:20.039 industry in every imaginable way, especially in the AI era, 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:24.760 it needs massive amounts of energy. Those policies coupled with 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.680 something the country has never seen before, which is trillions 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:32.720 and trillions of dollars in committed manufacturing investment money. And 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:37.120 that's for rare earths, that's for semiconductor chips, that's for automobiles, 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.720 that is for national security defense spending. I mean, this 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.959 is going to create a ton of high paying career 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.720 jobs for many of you out there. 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:48.520 And when these. 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.360 Jobs get online, we're going to somehow going to figure 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.240 out a way to make you aware of all of 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.520 them so you can get ahead of the curve. And then, 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.240 of course, on the foreign policy for you, not only 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:05.440 did the President help and involve himself and expend political 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:09.200 capital and helping to end eight nine depending how you 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.000 count conflicts around the world, and he's working hard to 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.840 finish the job in the Middle East, and working hard 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.280 to finish the job with Ukraine and Russia. As we 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.760 discussed last night, he's found out the most difficult of 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.400 all of them. Then, of course you see the president's 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:29.160 actions in Venezuela, him taking out the Iranian nuclear sites 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:34.360 and keeping in line with his stated policy of no 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.120 forever wars well, right now, the president, we have a 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.880 new poll out today. I don't trust these other posters. 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:47.160 I'm just telling you right now, there are very few 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:53.680 people that have in the last ten years consistently accurately 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:55.519 polled Donald J. 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:56.080 Trump. 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.639 There are not many of them, and we're going to 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.440 introduce there's two of them to you in a second. 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.640 But I would I would argue Rasmussen has been pretty 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:09.320 consistently on target. I would argue John McLaughlin and associates 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:14.480 has been pretty consistently on target. Maybe there's an Atlas. 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.080 I don't even know who Atlas Polling is. Nobody knows 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.200 who they are. Although they didn't do a particularly good 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.400 job in the New York mayoral race, but nationally heading 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.400 into the last election, they actually did a pretty good 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.080 job the last two election cycles. Got to give him 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.760 credit for that. The two people that I would argue 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:36.400 that have been most consistent in polling President Trump perfectly 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:42.680 are Matt Towery Insider Advantage, Robert Kaheley with Trafalgar, and 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.160 they have come out with a joint poll together. Well 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:50.880 it's actually Robert Kahelly with Trafalgar, I think, and it 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.440 has President Trump his approval rating at fifty point two 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.119 percent disapproval rating at forty four point six percent, any 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:02.800 president polling at fi fifty percent in a midterm election year, 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:08.320 the odds are significantly higher that the party in power 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:12.040 can maintain control of Congress. That's why I keep saying 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.440 it's the most important midterm you will see in your lifetime. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:21.360 Otherwise Democrats will have nothing but endless investigation, endless impeachment, 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:26.080 endless obstruction, and all the great progress and hard work 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:30.520 that the President, the administration Republicans have been active and 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.880 involved in. We were expecting a decision today on the 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.920 issue of redistricting and jerry mandering, etc. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.200 And I'm hoping that comes out the right way. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.240 But if it does, Republicans odds will go up significantly. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.599 But anyway, but a fifty percent approval rating forty four 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.080 percent disapproval rating is a good number for a president 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:55.440 going into a midterm election year. Now, it is only 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.360 happened three times in the last hundred years and four 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.039 times in the last one hundred and fifty years that 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:05.320 the party in power maintains control of Congress. That's why 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.159 this poll matters. Anyway, we welcome back and are proud 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:13.279 to introduce our friends att Towery Insider Advantage, Robert Kahley, 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.159 the Trafalgar Group, guys, welcome back. Always good to have you, 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:17.279 Thanks for being with us. 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.680 Thank you, happy to be with you, happy to be here. 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.160 Yes, sir, madam, I wrong am. 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:26.560 I analysis about those people that consistently are incapable of 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.919 polling Donald Trump. It seems to be a widespread phenomenon. 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.520 Yeah, I think so. I mean, we've seen this for 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:37.760 what three presidential cycles. They it's a combination of things. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.360 It's the way they go about gathering their data. A 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.599 lot of it's old fashioned or some of it's very new, 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:49.000 using panels that are very liberal, and so it's very hard. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.719 You have to get to the heart of the real 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.880 what we call the shi Trump voter and in this case, 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:58.960 the shy Trump approver approver or non approver. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.560 And it's hard to do. 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.560 And the president I had the president of fifty about 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.560 a week ago. Robert has him at fifty. Now this 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.839 a few days ago, and he goes up and down 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.200 out of this week's going to be sort of iffy 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.440 because a whole lot of stuff has gone on, and 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.120 the public always says, trouble digesting this stuff. But he's 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:20.960 staying consistently much higher than these. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.760 Well, I think you're talking about Minnesota. But new video 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:29.600 came out today, and this video is extraordinarily revealing, and 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:34.240 it shows how confrontational the passenger in the car was 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.320 in this case of Minnesota, and a very clear view 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.200 that in fact, that car was driven right at that officer, 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.840 and to me, it's a slam dunk case at this point. 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:46.840 The yea. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.000 And on the issue of Maduro, you pulled that independently, 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:51.400 didn't you. 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.240 I did, and it sort of went this way. 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:54.599 Sean. 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:59.440 We started in the morning after all this, and the 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.520 numbers were very good as the day went on. On 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.800 Sunday they went down a bit, but that's because the 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.360 President really didn't say anything else about it that day publicly, 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.080 and you just had Marco Rubio, who did an excellent 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.360 job on the three network talk shows. But most people 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.200 don't watch that stuff, and so the public. We're going 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.120 through a little time period right now where the public's 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.400 a little confused on some of these things, and so 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.120 the numbers are going to go up and down a 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.560 little bit. I'm sure Robert would agree with that. 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:31.040 Well, if peace and prosperity, Robert Haley drive elections. The 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:35.640 Atlanta Fed now pointing out the fourth quarter growth was 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.320 five point one percent. 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.360 That to me is a shocking number. 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:45.040 As optimistic as I've been about the economy, and again 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.720 the trillions and committed manufacturing dollars for investment, and the 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.800 president's energy policies and the largest tax cuts in history, 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.160 and how all these policies, no tax on tips, overtime 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.440 social Security, you get to deduct any car loan you 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:04.920 may take out. That is all impactful towards hard working Americans, 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.000 the middle class in this country. And no president has 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.200 worked harder for them. And I think that you know, 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.560 this affordability issue is dying on the vine for Democrats. 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.520 Well, the key is that people know it. And that's 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.400 the place that we think there could be a lot 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.400 more work done. I mean, you've seen so many opportunities 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.720 to put that message out. I mean, Matt and I 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.760 talked about the idea that of a Thanksgiving Why in 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.720 the world with a three huge NFL games, why would 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.559 I add telling people the difference in price that a 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.160 Thanksgiving meal went down? I mean, there, it's got to 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.720 be a greater effort to educate people as the things 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.720 happen for them. You can say their tax on tips, 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.920 but they haven't felt that yet. I mean, you've got 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.640 to demonstrate to them how much they're gonna save. That 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.040 there needs to be a real education effort so the 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:05.000 people can see what's happening, because we can't just wait 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:09.480 or to trickle down and people to feel it a 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.160 little bit at a time, because people are always going 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.880 to think prices are too high. And as long as 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.040 you know eighty percent of the public and Matt recently 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.640 did a poll on this, that the eighty percent of 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:26.040 the republic doesn't get their information from any place other 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:31.200 than the main stream. So we've got to penetrate that. 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.960 And if it means that, it has to be paid 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.160 paid media, whatever it takes. But there has gotten to 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:41.000 be a major effort. This old bottle of just waiting 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.520 until six weeks before an election and in day the 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:51.920 ads all over the the every area in advertising isn't 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.440 going to be enough. This should be starting now. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.560 Let me ask you this, if you know we now 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.480 have seen Matt, I want to go specific pickly, go 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.160 to the economy, and I did not expect the last 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:09.240 two quarters to be growing at this rate. This accelerated rate. 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.680 If these numbers remain consistent and even continue to grow 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.640 from here, how impactful will that be in a mid term. 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:20.199 The problem that we have now is that Robert alluded 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:24.199 to my media poll about twenty five percent of Americans 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:29.640 get their news from center to center right sources. Basically 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.360 Fox News holds up that entire twenty five So half 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.679 quarter of the country's getting their news primarily from Fox News, 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.960 but for everybody else, they're getting it from Apple and 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.920 Yahoo and CBS and NBC and ABC and CBS may 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.800 be changing a little bit, but the slant they put 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.600 on everything is so unbelievable that even if you have 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.240 a great GDP number, they won't tell anyone. They focus 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.600 on the negative. They have focused on the negative. To 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.600 your point, you talked about this video that just came out. 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.440 It's very I'm a lawyer, I know I look at 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.760 that at it. This is bodycam from the individual. Is 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.600 that not correct? The new video? 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.520 I mean, it is devastating to the lie that is 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:14.000 being has been told by you know, this idiot mayor 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.480 and the city of governor of Minnesota, right, and. 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.840 These and the women were taunting them, and that they 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.880 were clearly not there as just you know, legal observers. 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.320 But but of course the national media the other media 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.880 won't tell people that. So there's got to be a way. 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.560 We talked about this year after year after year. But 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.400 you know, we have to understand right now that in 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:39.280 the generic ballot for Congress, there has only been one 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.479 poll out of the last thirteen that has had Republicans 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.720 winning Congress. Every poll on the real clear politics average, 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.920 every single one, it's had the Democrats winning. And so 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.880 the Republicans need to wake up and realize they've got 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.920 a great president. But they can't hide him there or 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.960 ask him to do all the work. They've got to 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.280 start telling people. Now, you know, you make your hay. 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.280 Remember I've said this before miny cycles. 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:04.560 You make your hay in May. 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.040 You don't make it in June and July and October 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.319 because then everybody's got their ads running and they're battling. 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.760 So I just think the Republicans are not doing a 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:17.360 good enough job of supporting the president in terms of 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:21.240 their messaging on television, on social media and the like, 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.640 and they got to step it up and tell people 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.160 how great this economy is getting so quickly, and tell 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.600 people the truth about what's going on in Minnesota and 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.760 tell people the truth about what he's doing with regard 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.199 to Venezuela instead of ready letting ABC News and George 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.320 Stephanopolis frame it for them. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:42.679 You agree with that analysis, Robert Gahelly, Absolutely. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.319 And this is what and I've been talking about for years, 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:50.880 and it's a broken model. It doesn't work anymore, and 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.920 they've got to stop because the president again can't be 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:59.160 the only messenger. I mean, it's got to be more, 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.280 and it has to be focused on educating people. I mean, 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.960 imagine if the money that was spent in New Jersey 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:11.800 and in Virginia had been spent putting forth a Republican 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.920 position on the shutdown. Both that and I have argued 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.839 those elections would have turned out differently. But the shutdown 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:24.000 is what had the absolute ultimate impact on those elections. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.120 And all the fear factor and going along with the 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.520 fact that you know, people are pushing the idea that 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.440 everybody's going to lose all your checks and everything that 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.240 you've got coming to you was enough to scare enough 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:40.800 voters at the last minute. That's what explains the way 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.359 those poll numbers started to crash in the last ten days. 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.599 Yeah, well, the good news is we got time to 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:48.760 get the message out real quick. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.360 Matt Cohn, I give you a great example right now. 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.920 What if they're an edge that showed Biden when he 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:56.440 came out and offered I think it was a twenty 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:00.960 five million dollar bounty on the head of Maduro. Another 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.880 part of it saying from regular news saying President Trump 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:09.160 today invaded Venezuela and captured Madua. I mean, I don't 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.079 I don't understand why in the world we're not doing 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.199 that and seeing that from the Republicans because. 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.600 To me, yeah, it's people. 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:18.760 I agree. 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:23.160 I mean, unfortunately, you know, it's the amount of fake 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:28.080 news out there and outright lying and political spin. I mean, 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:32.040 it's it's toxic at this point. But guys, great poll. 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.600 We're going to have you on often. This is to me, 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.520 the most important election year in our lifetime, and I'm 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:42.280 asking this audience to promise me one thing that if 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:46.119 they do nothing else this year, they vote in November. 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.640 They've got to get out and vote and know what's 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.960 at stake here. Appreciate you, guys. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:52.400 Thank you. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.600 Eight hundred and nine to four one Sean. If you 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.280 want to be a part of the program Believe it 0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:00.800 or not. This week is the one year anniversary since 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.400 the Pacific Palisades fires. 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.120 And I've been reading a lot about it. 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.560 The La Times actually had a great expos on this, 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:12.320 and in the exposay they identified something a fact that 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:16.280 they had long been forgotten by many and prior to 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.280 the wildfires. Now, remember, wildfires in California are predictable. They 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:24.640 don't practice the science of forestry out there. Santa Ana 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.560 Winds and I live five years in Santa Barbara in 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.080 the eighties, and I know all about them. I mean, 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:34.280 they are predictable events. Wildfires are predictable events. If you 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:40.200 practice forestry, removing the kindling around inside of the forest 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:45.800 and eliminating dead trees, et cetera, that lessens the ability 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.680 of these fires to spread the way they did, the 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:52.360 way we saw a year ago. And you know, all 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.960 of these people, thousands of people lost their homes, and 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.280 only a few hundred, according to the last reading I've seen, 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.080 have been able to even get a permit to start 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:06.160 the process of rebuilding. Many people now are are just 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:10.040 abandoning their properties for good. They're now forced to still 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.000 pay property taxes, which is unfathomable. We've had people call 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.240 the show and tell us these heartbreaking stories and then 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.680 they have to pay on insurance on top of it all. 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:26.320 I mean, it's just not comprehensible to me. And you know, 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.160 you look at issues like this, and then you look 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.360 at a guy like Gavin Newsom is clearly running to 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:36.320 be president in twenty twenty eight, and let me be 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.680 very clear, you know, have your eyes wide open. 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.720 This guy is slick. He is. 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.560 He is as slick as they come. He is deceitful. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.120 He doesn't tell the truth. You know, he had he 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.680 had no rationale for why there was no water and 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:57.000 those fire hydrants. Gets angry when it gets pointed out 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.840 he had no rationale while the reservoir was was empty. 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.440 You need to ask local officials. A woman comes running 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:07.520 up to him, Governor, Governor, I'd like to talk to 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.000 you about it. I lost my home. What are you 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.120 gonna do about it? I'm talking to President Biden right now. 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:16.359 Turns out, well, I'm calling President Biden right now because 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.399 the lady says, can I talk to him? I mean 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.120 just flat out lies to this poor lady. But anyway, 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:26.120 on this anniversary, we wanted to Welcome back to the program, 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:31.040 Steve Hilton. He's a Gubinatorio candidate for California. Also our 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.639 friend John Conn Now John conn is an editor at Breitbart. 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.760 He wrote this terrific song by the way, after it burns. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.000 I'll play a bit of it in a second. But 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.200 you know, he wrote this song called Fighter that brought 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:50.480 America's resilience to life. Following the attempted assassination of President Trump, 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:54.399 he lost his house in the Pacific Palisades fire. Let 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:55.880 me just play a quick sample here. 0:17:56.359 --> 0:18:04.480 I can solder on this far. Just stick yo shot 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:19.639 said all gone, I'm a fatter run and I was 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:24.080 going to be to die'm make it ride. 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:28.280 Don't drove them sounds yes, yeah, don't cass you. And 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:35.600 then last bit sire you are awa time. Yeah, I'm 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:36.720 a faster. 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:38.639 All right. 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.679 Joining us now is John conn and Steve Hilton. Welcome 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.720 both of you to the program again. John, my heart 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.040 goes out to you. It's a year later. Have you 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.240 been able to able to get a permit to rebuild 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.560 your home? And what percentage of people that lost their 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:53.320 homes were able to get permits? 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.320 Well, Hi, Sean, thanks for having me. I haven't even 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:01.280 started the process because as we mentioned, as we talked 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.280 about last time, I still don't have all my insurance money, 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.359 which is a very common theme. And it's impossible to 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.520 plan your life if you don't know how much of 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.680 your insurance money you're going to get and when you're 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:14.400 going to get it. 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:21.720 And as how is it possible a year after the 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:26.080 fires you've not had a resolution with your insurance company. 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:27.520 How is that possible? 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.359 I don't know how it's possible. I think it's part 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:33.639 of a Steve and I were talking about this not 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.719 too long ago. I think there's sort of a force 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.159 to break the collective will of the people, and I 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.200 think the insurance is part of it, and I think 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:47.080 the crippling permitting process is part of it. It's sort 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:50.359 of a psyops land grap And as you said in 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.560 your opening, you know people are giving up sadly because 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.000 they can't afford to rebuilt, and they just don't want 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.520 to wait four or five years to restart their lives again. 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.840 I mean, I'm so so I already hear that. I'm 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.760 sure that that's got to be very disturbing and uprooting 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.639 to you and to your family, and very frustrating to 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.200 both of you. And now did you have the state 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.240 insurance or your own private insurance? 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.080 I had private insurance. You know, I was very under 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:22.200 insured because nobody thought this could possibly happen. And I'm still, 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.120 you know, waiting for the for the payout. I don't 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.359 know how much they're going to get me. I've gotten 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:29.479 some of it, but like I said, I mean, it's 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.119 hard to plan what you're going to do if you 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:32.160 don't know how much money. 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:32.520 You have to do. 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:33.840 It unbelievable. 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:35.000 You know. 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.520 I saw your your ex post, Steve Hilton, and and 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:40.119 by the way, I'd love to see you become the 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:44.560 governor of California. I worry about the demographics. Just this week, 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.080 I mean within the last week week and a half, 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.480 one of the co founders of Google, I believe it 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.440 was Larry Page, said that he's leaving California because they're 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:56.159 about to institute a billionaire's tax. Larry Ellison, the second 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.640 richest guy in the country, the founder of Oracle, He's 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.879 leaving the state. And as a matter of fact, he 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.200 just bought a massive piece of land in South Florida 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.440 and bought a huge hotel in South Florida, he's getting 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.320 out of there, and I don't blame him. Five percent 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:15.959 confiscation of wealth after you already paid taxes on it. 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.720 I mean, who would want to stay in the inn 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:20.399 a state that's stealing their money like that. 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.240 Well, Sean, it's great to be with you and good 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:27.080 to talk again. John. You're right, it's insane. Everything is insane. 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:30.400 That was what was so insulting about Gavin Newsom State 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:33.320 of the State speech yesterday. I did a rebuttal. I 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.600 put it on my social media. I mean, we haven't 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:37.000 got time to get into all of it. It was 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:39.960 literally lie after lie after lie to cover up his 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.840 failure after failure after failure. I mean, I don't even 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.280 know where to start. Just on the fires. That lady 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.879 you mentioned who went up to Newsome, he lied to 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.680 her about who he was talking to on the phone 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.280 a year ago. That's Rachel Darvish, and she was with me. 0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:56.600 We were together at a press conference that we did 0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.560 on the morning of Wednesday morning, the anniversary. We laid 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:02.600 out our plans, my plans to make sure this never 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.680 happens again. And it's so obvious common sense, like you say, 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:10.359 just proper forest management, and it's worse than just that 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.480 they didn't do it. It's even worse than that. I've 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:16.560 talked to people, their residents in the Palisades, in the area, 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:20.240 they had a state agency, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:24.880 finding them for doing the responsible thing. Caitlin Jenna tells 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.680 me the same story, clearing brush from around their property 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:33.480 to create defensible space. They were fined for doing it. 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:35.920 It's unbelievable. You look at the fire department now, the 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:39.240 leaders were getting from inside there. The fire that actually 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:43.119 led to the Palisades Fire started a week before. It 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:46.320 was called the Lachman Fire, and the fire department went 0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:48.639
