WEBVTT - Why Leadership Matters 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.840 News Front Up Information Overload Hour. There's Friday eight hundred 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:05.600 and ninety four one. Shawn is on number. You want 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:08.480 to be a part of the program. It is kind 0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:14.600 of bewildering and odd and strange and spectacularly stupid that, 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:19.919 in spite of widespread criticism about what a failed governor is, 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.120 I think he's the worst governor in the country. Gavin 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.759 Newsom in California, that he continues to just be a 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.920 world traveler, showing up in Munich, showing up in Davos, 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:35.040 a full time Trump stalker. I guess he assumes that 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.720 that is his ticket to, you know, winning the nomination 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.240 and thus having a chance to be president. A full 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:47.440 time podcaster, full time ex poster, you know, full time author, 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.720 now full time speech giver. I mean, the guy's never 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:54.720 in California. People still can't get their their building permits 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.240 in the Pacific Palisades. Never mind they have the highest 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:02.520 income taxes, sales taxes, and gas taxes, and that's going 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.240 to make a big difference. You're going to be paying 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.560 seven dollars a gallon for gasoline out in California in 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.560 this interim period with this conflict going on in the 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:14.640 Middle East, I hope that's not true. But and the 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:16.960 fact that he takes in all of this money, and 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.640 I was showing this the other day and talking about 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.160 this the other day. Takes in all of this money. 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.800 They have like a three hundred and fifty billion dollar 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:29.759 budget every year and they can't balance their budget because 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.160 it's a sanctuary city, sanctuary state, and all of the 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:38.200 benefits that they provide to illegals in the state of California. 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:42.679 I mean it's basically state sponsored protection. You talk about, 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.280 you know, obstructing in the course of justice or aiding 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.680 in a betting and law breaking. I mean, Gavin defines 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:57.480 it all. It's pretty insane. Now, interestingly, this is his 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:03.000 last term and our friend who will join us in 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.480 a moment, Steve Hilton, Gubernatorio candidate, is now leading in 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:10.640 the polls and working on doing just about anything he can. 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:15.720 He wants to save California and he wants to transform California. 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.240 Has stop the mass migration out of California, fixed the 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:23.799 homeless problem, get the budget under control, stop California from 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.560 being a sanctuary state, Stop the sanctuary cities, I mean, 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.600 gas taxes, property taxes, freeing child rapists, you know they 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.040 don't keep records in terms of crimes committed by illegals 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:39.400 in California because of their sanctuary policies. We have a 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.919 list of mile long of people murdered and raped and 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.960 child molesters and victims of other violent crime, but you 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.680 rarely hear about it. Newsom is now planning a nineteen 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:56.040 million dollar push to polish California's national image that he destroyed. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.800 You've got this referendum coming up in November that is 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.680 chasing one billionaire after another out of Silicon Valley. These 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.520 people are very, very wealthy, and they made their money. 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.280 They pay their high taxes out in California on top 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.520 of their federal taxes, and now the government wants to 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.680 come in and take five percent of their net worth. 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.080 And it's not even an accurate calculation in many cases. 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.280 If you own twenty five percent of the stock, but 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.320 you only really own five percent of the stock, but 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.679 on paper they're going to charge you the twenty five 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:33.920 percent rate. It's insane. And anyway, California is about to 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.520 cross the threshold where taxes and fees levied on a 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.320 gallon of gasoline will cost more than the actual price 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:44.240 of the gallon of gasoline. It's insane. But you know, 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.840 Gavin keeps going on every show he can get on. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.760 He's invited on this show, but he won't come. He's 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.400 on with Katie Kirk. I didn't know Katie Kirk still? 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.880 Is she still existing out there somewhere? Where does she work? 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.280 You know, Linda have no idea. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.160 I know she's asking the hard hitting questions. Is you're 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.760 about to hear she is at the top of her game, 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:03.360 no question? 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.160 Well, okay, and let's play it. Because she's asking Gavin 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.360 Newsom if he's just too good looking? Do you have 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:09.680 a Zoolander problem? 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:10.040 No? 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:18.440 Jesus yes, are you just ridiculously good looking? Said no, seriously, 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:19.760 what do you do about that? 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:21.760 You don't do anything about it, because if you can 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.200 do something about it, then your people. You know what 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.480 I am who I am, and it's fine. 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.760 You don't have to like me, or maybe you like 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:30.440 a slick person. 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.360 I don't know, whatever, It's okay. 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.159 The reason why I shot up because you talked about 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.240 being authentic and I think it sometimes works against you. 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:40.680 Yeah, it's just who I am. 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.160 It's just who I am. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.760 He just agrees with the premise I'm just too good looking. 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.440 And that is his talking about Israel being an apartheid 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:54.680 state that went viral this week. Anyway, Steve Hilton is 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.880 with us. You know what, you know, the good thing 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.839 you don't have to run against somebody that's just too 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.599 good looking. I mean, that'd be horrible for you. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.279 I know. It's amazing, Sean, isn't it. By the way, 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:05.480 on one of the things I say, I think it's 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:10.240 time in California for a governor with less hair. Definitely hair. 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.400 I think that's the new, the new thing. I don't know, 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:16.800 I'll have to shave mine arm. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.640 But this guy, it's unbelievable watching this rollout of his 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.200 I mean, this is obviously the first step in his 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:26.599 presidential campaign. It's it's almost unbearable listening to him, especially 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.800 for those of us have to experience the total failure 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:34.479 that he is in California. Another one of these interviews, 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:38.880 he's he's saying, someone asked him very specifically, Okay, what's 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.080 your pitch? Just if you're talking to a regular person 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.800 it's not that interested in politics, just wants to know 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.640 what are you going to do for them? In a practical, 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.320 simple way. He literally said, you tell me. That's what 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.000 his answer. Wass you tell me I'm not a great communicator. 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.840 He is so full of it. Cavenuwsome and then and 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.039 and everything he says just makes it worse. And you 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.880 laid it all out so perfectly. And there's there's there's more. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.680 I mean, the list goes on and on, as well 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.560 as all the things that you said correctly, We've got 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.960 the highest poverty rate in the country, the highest unemployment 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.480 rate in the country. On education, actual, Katie Couric did 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.000 push him on that. She said, California is now being 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.520 overtaken by Mississippi on education. And you know what his 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:26.360 answer was, Oh, that's because they hold back the kids. Yeah, 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.000 they hold back the kids. So they make sure that 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.520 kids learn to read by fourth grade, which is the 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.839 basis for education in California. That doesn't happen, which is 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.040 why you end up now with less than half the 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.440 kids in public schools in California meet basic standards in English. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.920 You had a report from UC San Diego at the 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.240 end of last year that nearly ten percent of the 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.960 students university students can't meet high school levels of math 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.760 and English. It's just a total disaster. You mentioned three 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:56.880 hundred and fifty billion dollars. You're right, that's the budget. 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:58.960 You know what it was just five years ago, one 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.359 hundred and eighty. They've nearly doubled the He has nearly 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.360 doubled the budget in the last five years. 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.240 Everything's worth well, then why are they running between an 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.600 eighteen and thirty five billion dollar budget deficit on top 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:12.960 of it? 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:17.040 Because it's going into fraud and corruption, and that's what 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.560 we're exposing. About a month ago, Sean I set up 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:25.040 cow Doje, California Department of Government Efficiency modeled on what 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:29.240 the president has put into operation with Elon. Obviously, we're 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.800 not elected yet. We're just doing this as volunteers. I've 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:36.440 got a team of volunteers, auditors, and a really strong 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.680 businesswoman running it. We've now done two fraud reports that 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.040 we have found as volunteers just the last week, about 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.160 a week ago actually, the second one one billion dollars 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.680 write a billion with a bat that was supposed to 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:54.200 be spent on what they claimed was installing. It was 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.840 from the gas tax actually that you mentioned, and from 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.280 the electric bill surcharges from what they called the cap 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:04.600 and trade system. It's their climate boondoggle. So billion dollars 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.160 from that that we paid were supposed to be spent 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:12.640 on installing solar panels on low income apartment units. The 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.360 actual number that was spent on that seventy two million, 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.960 nine hundred and twenty eight million. Nearly the whole billion 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:27.040 went into Democrat activist groups, voter registration, all of that sort, 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.240 building their political machine. That's where the money's going. And 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:35.920 it's just absolutely unbelievable. But finally, you know, prompted by 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.920 Minnesota and the attention on that and what the President's 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:43.239 doing with JD and we're doing our part here with Caldoje, 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.959 we're finally exposing it. But that's how you answer that question. 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.840 How is it possible we have the highest taxes in 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.520 the country for the worst results. That's where the money's going. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.280 I mean, the math just doesn't add up. He's a 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.560 no show governor. Is anybody out there even care? I mean, 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:05.920 I'd like to know when the predictable wildfires occur that 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:09.320 they've adopted the science of forestry out in California, but 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.840 I know that's not the case. I'd like to know 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.359 that the reservoir is going to be filled, or reservoirs 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.480 around areas that would be susceptible to wildfires, and I'd 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.440 like to think that they might have water in them. 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.000 I'd like to know that fire hydrants are working. I'd 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.920 like the people whose lives have been upended by those 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.760 wildfires are now able to finally get a building permit 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.480 and rebuild. How is it possible, year, three, four, ones, 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.440 whatever it is later that nobody has a building permit. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.960 It's incredible. I was speaking to some Palisades you know, residents, 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.600 actually the mobile home park that was burnt out. I'd 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.720 like to be easier to fix that than anything else. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.800 They're not getting anything out of this guy. They're sent 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.880 from one place to another. Same with Karen Bath. These 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.000 people are just so useless. They have no idea how 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.160 to get anything done. This is why you go to 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.720 have a problem solving business versus you see it with 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.559 President Trump in the White House. Most of my background's 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.160 been in business. My first job was project manager for 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.800 a construction company. I mean, you've worked construction, so you 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:12.840 can't you can't get away with this kind of bs. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.480 If this, you know, things don't happen, things aren't built. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.920 It's just really practical, and it's a year on, more 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.160 than a year on, and nothing's happening, and you look 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.360 at everything is I mean, just I don't know where 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.480 to start. The bullet train, the insane bullet train that 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.520 was supposed to be open like nearly ten years ago 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.640 now for thirty billion dollars much? 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.800 How much? All right? How much have they spent on 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:36.920 this boondogle? 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.040 It's now the budget is one hundred and thirty billion. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.560 The money keeps coming in. This is that they let 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.240 they've just announced that they're gonna they've got a new 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.960 business plan. They laugh laughably call it a business plan 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:50.920 because they want to keep getting the money, so they 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:52.839 have to pretend this thing is actually going to happen. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:57.199 He makes this announcement that which you've tried to pretend 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.760 this is the other week. Oh, we're moving forward. We're 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.280 being tracks finally, you know, like a decade. They're not 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.600 laying tracks. When you actually look at what he said, 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.760 this is what he does. It's just the BF he said, 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.840 we are moving into the track laying phase. They're not 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:12.440 actually laying any tracks. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:16.280 Okay, now, explain to me this wasn't this originally planned 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.080 to be from La to San Francisco. How did it 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:23.679 become Bakersfield to the Mercer or wherever else in California. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:24.880 This thing is going to end up. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.520 Yeah, so they diverted it so it goes through This 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.520 goes from San Francisco Inland through the Central Valley, down 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.880 the Central Valley, which is totally flat, should be incredibly 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.559 easy to build on, and then back to La through 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.560 the mountains. Right. This is what they actually are now 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.439 saying is going to happen. Right, and that was all 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.920 supposed to be up and running by twenty eighteen with 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:48.400 no public subsidy. Okay, what's actually the business plan now 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.040 is from San Francisco to the top of the Central 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.120 Valley in Merced. They're using the existing rail that we 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.840 already have. Then you have to change to get onto 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.800 the high speed rail which starts in the said goes 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.520 down to Bakersfield. Then you get off the high speed trade. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.240 This is the actual plan. Guess what the last leg 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:12.120 is from Bakersfield to LA A bus. I'm not making 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.679 it up. A bus, that's their business plan. But you 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:20.040 could get a Greyhound bus now from Bakersfield to LA 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.679 the Christie Bucks or whatever it is takes two and 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.400 a half hours. The whole journey was supposed to take 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.679 two and a half hours from San Francisco to La 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.360 Now just the bus part is going to take that. 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.199 It's unbelievable. 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.320 And let me play two recent comments of Gavin and 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:39.280 get your reaction to it. One as he suggests support 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.679 for an arms embargo of Israel, calling Israel an apartheid 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.760 sate state, and he called Trump a piece of Adam Schiff. 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.680 These guys want to roll back the last half century 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:54.480 of racial justice, voting rights, civil rights because we want 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:58.200 voter I d Here's what he said. He's arbitrarily just 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.480 different democratic states and cities. Yeah, that's what it all 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:03.079 has in common. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.400 And by the way, and he went into democratic cities 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.920 run by African American mayors as well. These guy's a 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.040 piece of call yours. Oh no, no, no, I mean 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.199 this is a guy that put at the Obama video 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.079 just a few weeks ago. I mean you know that, 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.680 and that didn't even get as much outrageous as deserved 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.280 of Michelle Obama and Barack Obama. It's the birther guy. 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.080 This is the guy called you know, countries, all countries, 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.880 I mean, it's connect all these damn dots. These guys 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.760 want to roll back you know, the last half century 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.959 on racial justice, on issues of voting rights, civil rights, 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:33.520 LGBTQ rights. 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:33.800 Women's rights. 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.480 You've seen it. I mean anyway, so this is like 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.600 for me, it's code read. People need to wake up. 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.560 We can lose this country. I really believe that I 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.960 talked about rigging the election before. I wasn't bullshed about that. 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.040 He doesn't believe in fair and free elections. He's a 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.960 competitive authoritarian, which means he wants elections the veneer one, 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.360 just like Putin, who got eighty seven point three percent 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:52.480 of the bones for him. 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:57.240 I mean really, I mean in California, correct me if 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.359 I'm wrong. If you want to buy a pack of cigarettes, 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.199 or you want to buy I six pack or alcohol 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.120 or a jewel pod, do you need an ID? 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.320 Of course, the whole thing is a joke. I'm on 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.600 the road the whole time in California. We're doing our 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:11.240 talent every time. I you know, we stay at the 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.000 Hampton in usually you're check in the Hampton in ID. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.200 I mean, it's just totally normal. What are they talking about. 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.000 By the way, it's got massive support across the board 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.600 in California, and it's a really big reason why I'm 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.160 very confident I'm going to win because you got I 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.040 don't know, something like seventy five percent agree with vote 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:32.120 ID even in California. But actually it's Republicans who really 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.640 really want vote I D and we've now got it on. 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.440 You have a shot to win. This poll shows me 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.440 you have a shot and they're going to split the 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.040 Democratic vote. How do people get in touch with you 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:43.920 if they want to help you? 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.800 Thank you, Sean, Steve Hilton for Governor dot com fo 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.040 R Steve Hilton Forgovernor dot com. It's a really good shot. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:52.800 It's not going to be easy, but we can do 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.920 it and all the help we can get much appreciated. 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.680 Well, I admire the fact that you're taking this on. 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.280 It's a huge undertaking. Steve Hilton, thanks so much for 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.000 being with us. Let's go back to the State of 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.720 the Union this year and what did we see President 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:11.080 Trump asking for those of you in this room that 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:15.400 agree with this, please stand with us that you think 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:19.400 it's the first role of government to protect American citizens 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:24.680 over illegal immigrants. With the exception of John Fetterman, not 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:29.000 one Democrat stood, not one. They didn't stand. If you 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.440 go back a year before the Joint Session of Congress. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:36.640 Speech to be official, the President honored Lake and Riley's 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:41.800 family and Joscelyn Hungary's family, two families that lost loved 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:46.360 ones because of illegal immigrants led into this country unvetted 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.640 by Harris Biden, may orcus And this has happened so 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.160 many times. And they wouldn't stand for the families of 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.440 Lake and Riley and Joscelyn Hungary. And I said at 0:15:55.480 --> 0:16:00.200 the time, and I repeated after this year, because the 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.120 the song remains the same, and that is this is 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.360 a party that has lost its heart and its soul 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.880 and it's conscience. They have lost their way, They have 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.560 lost the plot. And I don't care if it's voter 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:17.520 ID which they're against, or proof of citizenship they're against that. 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.200 They want to defund dismantle the police. That is insanity. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.520 They want no bail laws, that is insanity. They want 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.440 sanctuary cities and states, that's insanity. You know. They want 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.560 amnesty for all the illegals in this country. They think 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.880 that'll be a voting base down the road for them. 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.520 That's insanity. Also, this is a party that is even 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:42.840 lashing out against Donald Trump. That is eviscerating Iran right now, 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.960 and any possibility that one day in the future, our 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.520 children and grandchildren will have to live under the threat 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.560 of a nuclear armed Duran, which would be extraordinarily dangerous 0:16:54.160 --> 0:17:01.280 because that, you know, is extreme religious Islamo fashion mentality 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.560 coupled with weapons of mass destruction could lead to a 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.320 modern day holocaust. Anybody with an ounce of common sense 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.720 would understand that there are people that don't. There are 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:15.440 isolationists that never understood Donald Trump, don't want to understand 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.760 Donald Trump. They don't want to understand the Trump doctrine. 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.920 Now we have the latest examples. I can't even believe 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.800 I'm reporting on this. Mark Warner asked about the murder 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.080 of a Virginia woman. Now, this woman was murdered by 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.959 an illegal immigrant. But Senator Warner says he's more concerned 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:36.760 with ICE detaining illegals with no criminal record than he 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.040 is about the murder of a woman in his state, 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:44.800 a woman murdered by an illegal allowed into our country. 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.280 I can't even believe he would say what he's saying, 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.119 but he said it. Then you have a state Senate 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:56.840 majority leader in Virginia. Some guys, Scott Survel is his name, 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:03.119 Senate Majority Leader blaming Ice for the murder of this woman. 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:09.280 The woman was murdered by an illegal alien. He took 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:13.200 to the Virginia Senate floor. This guy's lost his mind too. 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.040 They've lost the plot. If you look at all of 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:20.040 the people that Ice has been arresting, well, we know, 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:24.320 for example, in the year twenty twenty five, over twenty 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:29.880 one hundred convicted or charged illegals charged with killing, murdering 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:34.280 American citizens. We know in that particular case that Ice 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.080 was able to apprehend twenty one hundred of them. In 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:41.720 a single year. Over fifty four hundred illegals convicted of 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:47.520 or charged with rape or serious sexual assault were also arrested. 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:52.119 And Ice gets called Gestapo, Nazi and fascist, and of 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.359 course then the Democrants want to defund ICE and the 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:59.399 Department of Homeland Security and with it the Secret Service 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.600 at that FEMA, and with that the Coastguard. I mean, 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:07.600 this is madness. Democrats still won't complete funding in the 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:12.240 in the US Senate. It's unbelievable, incredible times we're looking 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:16.919 at I'm telling you, uh, Paul in Arizona, Paul, how 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.680 are you glad you called Sir Sean it. 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.320 Is a pleasure to speak with you, sir today, And 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.840 there is one thing that it just keeps standing out. Okay, 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:31.879 And I tell my kids, my grandkids, you can educate ignorance, 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:38.600 but you cannot fix stupidity. And those people who didn't stand, 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:42.320 those people who are against the whole situation going on 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:46.200 in Iran, and a good portion of the so called 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:52.520 quote unquote leaders in California, they're beyond ignorance. They're out 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.680 of that category. They're still stuck in the stupid category. 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.200 And you can't fix it. It's just there's just nothing 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.720 else you can do about it. But I will share 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.560 this with your This is just my world how I 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:08.240 perceive it. I truly believe that the best thing, and 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:12.160 I think the Democrats are probably kicking themselves. The best 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.920 thing for us, the Republicans, is when Donald Trump did 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:19.480 not win in twenty twenty, it gave him four years 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.600 to get people together to think about what needs to 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.840 really be done to turn this around. And by having 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.879 those four years off, it created the incredible momentum that 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.479 we have right now in what a year, in what 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:35.639 fifteen months that he's been in office. And I really 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:40.119 believe that it because he took those years off, he 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:43.080 came back even stronger. And what he's doing now is 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.520 and someday somebody's going to be able to tap somebody 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:50.280 on the shoulder and say, kids, the reason why it 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.600 ran did not bomb anybody is because it was shut 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:58.119 down back in twenty twenty six. And in a perfect world, 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:02.560 maybe by the year twenty seventy we'll still be having 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:05.080 the same conversation of Nope, they still do not have 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.800 the capability. Sehn, I appreciate you, and thank you for 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:09.520 everything you do. 0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:11.959 Thank you. I appreciate your call. The one thing I 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.960 did say to President Trump when we had just a 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:18.240 private conversation about this, you know, and we were looking 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.400 at this from all sides, and it was I had 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.680 no agenda except that I wanted him to make the 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:27.159 right decision. And in the end, I have found on 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:30.080 these important issues, he always ends up in the right place. 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.640 And I believe everything he did with Operation Midnight Hammer 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:38.960 and Epic Fury was one hundred percent right with incredible results. 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:43.240 I supported what he did with Maduro as well. But 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.199 the question was if there ever, if they get a 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:52.000 nuclear weapon, do you think they will use it? Based 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:55.440 on who they are what they say? That was one question. 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:57.879 I was going through a series of questions that you 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.280 need to ask before you make an important decision as 0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:04.200 commander in chief. There's a lot of weight on his shoulders, 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:06.840 and we were just talking really more as friends than 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:10.320 anything else, and just just kind of, you know, gaming 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:14.040 out what could potentially happen. And then I said, and 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.639 if he happens on your watch, and then down the 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:19.280
