We have an exciting episode full of winners today! In this episode, I meet with some incredible guests to discuss the red wave hitting California, including meeting with the man, Michael Gates, behind the Voter ID lawsuit against Gavin Newsom and many more battles against the state in Huntington Beach. I have on newly elected State Assemblyman Jeff Gonzalez to discuss how he flipped the seat with his district. Additionally, I met with Ali Macedo and David Tangipa, two young California Republicans also elected to the State Assembly! I also discuss Trump’s recent cabinet picks, reflect on COVID-19 and its effects on the people and country, California’s future, and much more. This is not an episode you want to miss!
It’s been over a week since the 2024 election, and we are already looking at a bright future under the Trump Administration. In this episode, I discuss Trump’s cabinet picks and his announcement of the newest government agency, the Department of Government Efficiency. Later, I am joined by Susan Shelley to discuss how Gavin Newsom is “Trump-proofing” California, including flying to D.C. to get things done before Biden leaves office. Lastly, I discuss exactly why Trump is correct in wanting to abolish the Department of Education. This is not an episode you want to miss!
What an incredible election turnout! Listen as I am joined by my favorite guests, Jennifer Horn, Katy Grimes, and Susan Shelley, to discuss the 2024 election results. California has completely rejected soft-on-crime politicians and regulations and America rejected the out-of-touch Democratic Party in almost every way. I am then joined Tony Strickland from MAGA-nificent Seven to discuss Huntington Beach’s election turnout. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!
The Presidential Election is in its final stretch! It’s very clear that Trump has been exuding confidence, while Kamala and her media pals just spew pure anti-Trump hysteria. State Assembly Candidate Carl DeMaio from Reform California, discusses his run against a fellow Republican and his ideas for truly turning things around. Katie Grimes joins me to discuss the new proposed tax credit for Hollywood and how it shirks other industries. What about all the other industries that need help? Matt Gunderson, running for U.S. House District 49, talks about his race and the importance of his seat in the House of Representatives. I wrap up this plethora of Candidate Corner’s with Ian Weeks and his race for U.S. House District 25. All these conversations boil down to this: Republicans, especially in California, should not act like Democrats to get elected.
Donald Trump enraged politicians and media elites with his McDonalds “stunt”, but may have just won over even more American voters. Nathan Hochman, running for LA County District Attorney, joins me as we hope to rid California of George Gascón’s terrible policies. If he wins, he’d take office the first Monday in December and he shares what his plans would entail. Susan Shelley and I discuss the proposed CARB regulation that would once again raise prices for Californian’s, this time 47 cents per gallon. Scotty Peotter running for Assembly District 73 joins me to discuss what seats need to flip to break the Super Majority in California and what issues mean the most to voters. You won’t want to miss this one!
Today is a special edition episode we’ve never attempted before! Welcome to the California Voter Guide where Katy Grimes, Jennifer Horn, Susan Shelley, and I give you our recommendations and guidance for Election Day. Affordable housing, extreme climate activism, Medi-Cal, minimum wage, the constitutional right to marry, and more are on the ballot this election season. We break down which propositions are misleading, why they are really on the ballot, and why the language matters.  Ballots can be overwhelming, but we give you our thoughts and break it all down to help you make sense of it all. Are these propositions going to push people further out of California?
This week I might eat my words, but Kamala’s “media blitz” may have just lost her the election. She has completely flubbed her response to the Hurricanes, had a total collapse in the ability to answer questions, and is not demonstrating proper leadership. I go over the current California redistricting discussion with guest Cathy Abernathy, which may just be the most important policy conversation I've ever had about the Golden State. Someone we’ve welcomed before, Kristie Bruce Lane joins us for Candidate Corner to highlight her race for Assembly District 76. I work through Newsom’s Controversial Gas Plan pushing forward in the Legislature, as well as Trump’s Coachella Valley Rally plans this Saturday with Katy Grimes, the Editor in Chief of the California Globe. And finally, I wrap up by getting off my chest CBS News’ attempt to edit Kamala’s answers for the 60 Minutes interview – a clear and disgusting subterfuge attempt.
Today is a fun episode full of guests and all the latest news. First, we break down JD Vance’s absolute practical and political victory over Tim Walz in last night’s debate. Then, Jennifer Horn joins me for California Corner to discuss the 1000 bills that hit the California Governor’s desk, Voter ID laws, what it means to make America “healthy” again, and more. Josh Hoover also joins me for Candidate Corner to discuss his race for Assembly District 7, and what I consider to be on the front lines of the fight to restore sanity! I cover Kamala’s visit to the border, highlighting the biggest policy failure for this current administration – and there are plenty to choose from. With the flow of fentanyl skyrocketing and the border crumbling to pieces, we are seeing the full scale of this disaster that should and could have been avoided. Fran Lebowitz wants Biden to dissolve the Supreme Court, so I get all those thoughts off my chest.
Today we have a lot of ground to cover and so little time. Tensions are continuing to rise and boil in the Middle East as Israel ramps up action against Hezbollah and we talk about where it may go from here. Kamala’s responses to all of this demonstrate how much of a machine politician she truly is when it comes to both Israel and her appearance on Oprah this past month. She’s insulting Americans' intelligence over and over again. Susan Shelley joins me for California Corner where we discuss the California Democrats newest plastic bag ban, CA DeepFake AI bans, all the bogus information surrounding COVID and the vaccine mandate, and my future plans for a special Voter’s Guide episode just for you! I’m then joined by David Tangipa who is running for Assembly District 8 as we discuss all his political race encompasses and the idea of an American.
Another assassination attempt has been made on Donald Trump and all it proves is the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party and the media. They act surprised when an attempt is made on his life, when they consistently paint Trump as the “ultimate threat to democracy”. Also on this episode, we have a set of special stories about running a visibly and vocally conservative business in California. The first business owners joining us are Frank and Jennifer, who own a store called Beachin in Seal Beach in Southern California. Then, Patriot store owner Joy Miedecke also details her experiences with the so-called “tolerant Left”. Katie Grimes, editor-in-chief of the California Globe, then joins us for California Corner to debunk Gavin Newsom’s ridiculous top 10 ways California leads the nation. Lastly, Congressional Candidate Michael Maher shares why he’s running to flip the last Democratic District in the Central Valley. You won’t want to miss it!
Today’s special edition episode is jam-packed with a debate recap, Gloria Romero, Patrick Gipson, Jennifer Horn, and what I really think of the ABC Moderators. Kamala’s debate strategy wasn’t “preparation”, but a pre-packaged rehearsal of lies, while Trump made a great showing of what he truly believes in. I’m joined by Gloria Romero, a former State Senator and board member on Golden Together, to discuss why she left the Democratic Party and the current “progressive” climate. I follow that up with a discussion with Jennifer Horn to discuss the power-outages and issues with California’s clean energy policies amongst other CA issues. Patrick Gipson then joins me for Candidate Corner to explain why his position is so vital and what is happening with Prop 36 and the race. I wrap it all up with David Muir’s gross and partisan performance as an ABC Moderator.
Susan Shelley joins today's podcast to discuss how Governor Gavin Newsom and California Democrats are in complete shambles in Sacramento. We dissect how dangerous Gavin Newsom’s most recent energy policy is, and how the California Democrats' solution to the gas price crisis is not to fix it, but to actually make it worse. We also discuss Kamala Harris’ “wealth tax”, how she misled California voters with skewed ballot summaries, and how California is funding “free” down payments towards a house for illegal immigrants using taxpayer money.
Today’s episode is full of amazing content and people. I talk briefly about RFK Jr's endorsement of Trump and his highlight on the Chronic Disease Crisis. We talk about how Kamala Harris is using aides to change policies she no longer finds useful, but is refusing to explain anything to voters herself. Katie Grimes is here to dissect Kamala’s track record, the illegal immigration loan assistance pushed by California Dems, the administrative bloat in schools, and what makes it all unsustainable. And we have Nathan Hochman joining us today who is running for District Attorney in Los Angeles. We discuss his current polling, George Gascón, and his endorsement of Kamala. I wrap it up with a story of bureaucratic interference over British TV personality Kirstie Allsopp now being investigated by Social Services over her 15-year-old son’s rail trip.
Today’s episode is full of DNC news, great guests, and a treacherous seven hour hike. It has been very clear over the course of the DNC that Joe Biden’s shadow is still looming large and Kamala is absolutely clueless on her own policies. They’ve pretty much decided to put Kamala’s name over Biden’s policies and pretend it’s “change”. During all this, I found myself accidentally on a seven hour hike in Kauai, a physically challenging journey that accidentally turned into a profound moral lesson. I then met with Leticia Castilo to discuss why she is running for CA State Assembly District 58 and the always lovely Jennifer Horn. It’s a great episode you won’t want to miss!
Today we have a special and unprecedented episode! Marie Alvarado-Gil, a Senator from District 4 in California, makes an EXCLUSIVE announcement that you won’t want to miss! As a wife, a mom of six, and a child of immigrants, she believes the “California Dream” is no longer cutting it for the current generations. She has strong values and beliefs that have led her to where she is today, and where her future lies as a Senator. With public education continuing to fail our kids, the cost of living skyrocketing, and lack of action from her party, she has decided to do everything she can to restore that California Dream – and it publicly starts with today’s podcast.
Today’s episode begins with the latest in “Kamala Mania”, particularly her pick of Tim Walz as Vice President for the Democratic Primary. This choice was Kamala’s first big move on the presidential primary stage and it reveals a heap about her character, where she’s coming from politically, and what we can expect to see should she win. Let’s be clear, none of it is good.  Then, Sheriff Warnke of Merced County joins us to discuss the cartel’s latest industry infiltration: Farm equipment and avocados. This diversification only opens the door to a wider conversation about open borders and California’s crime epidemic. Susan Shelley also joins the show to break down California’s energy policies and Senate Bill 299, or, the California New Motor Voter Program. Lastly, we have an interview with the state assembly candidate for District 76, Kristie Bruce-Lane. You won’t want to miss it!
You are in for a treat this episode! Jennifer Horn joins me to give a tell-all of Kamala Harris’ record and what makes her the “ultimate transactional actor”. As a candidate, she didn’t just “fall out of a coconut tree” – she’s been hopeless as Vice President and shows a very consistent pattern with her history in California. I talk about the election results in Venezuela, where Maduro was defeated but caused an uproar and rebellion when he tried to flub the numbers. Then, per usual, the media distorts Trump rally comments to scare voters – yet is quiet on Biden’s attempt to undermine the Supreme Court. You probably weren’t aware that nearly one million Californians are without access to reliable drinking water and more who are riddled with rationing water – but I break it all down for you. Joanna Garcia Rose from State Assembly District 27 also joins me in Candidate Corner. We discuss the border crisis, immigration, and how she views deportation with multi-generational families, and more.
It’s been an insane week in American politics from the Trump assassination attempt, the RNC, Biden dropping out, and of course Kamala Harris being the new presidential candidate. There’s been a shift of genuine, warm emotion in the Republican party after Trump’s miracle – and he announced JD Vance as his running mate. Jennifer Van Laar joins me to discuss Kamala Harris’s CA record after her Biden endorsement. Right after, Senator Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh joins me to discuss California Senate District 19 and her community work. Listen to this week's episode as I dive into all my thoughts about these historic events we are witnessing right before our eyes!
Everyone has decided to “feel bad” for Biden going through this election while on the decline. I’m telling you not to. He made this bed throughout 50 years of climbing the ladder and now he has to lie in it. We discuss that, the Supreme Court ruling on homelessness, CA Democrats’ predictable reaction, the French and British parliamentary results, and more. Jen Horn also joins me to discuss the denouement of this crazy attack on democracy coming from California. First, it started with the California Taxpayer Protection Act, then it continued with the initiative to reform Prop 47. It’s no surprise that the Democratic Party is trying to demoralize Republicans, or anyone in the state who wants to enact real changes in our policy.
In today’s episode, we prove how Democrats are to blame for all and any assaults on democracy. Looking at Hunter Biden’s story and the Supreme Court’s latest ruling on censorship, it is clear that Democrats are sabotaging the very foundations of this nation. On the flip side, the Chevron ruling was a huge win for voters and a loss for the arrogant, unaccountable, and unelected bureaucrats. Then, Lara Korte, co-author of POLITICO California Playbook, joins me to discuss the madness around California Democrat's rival ballot initiative for Prop 47. We also compare the U.S. voting model to others across the world and let’s just say, our complicated web of mail-in ballots and voting machines has compromised the integrity of elections altogether. Lastly, joining us for Candidate Corner is none other than Suzette Valladares, who is running for California State Senate District 23. You won’t want to miss what she has to say about the Democratic Party and its role in restricting the working class.
Today we talk through a plethora of news. Jamaal Bowman, known for pulling the fire-alarm to stall Congress, lost his primary seemingly due to his Anti-Semitism. Dr Jay Bhattacharya, Professor of Medicine at Stanford University — and a legend in my book, joins me to discuss the Supreme Court rejecting the challenge to the Biden Admins Social Media Censorship Case. Will this have a major impact on the election? We dig deep into what it all means. Susan Shelley joins me to discuss the basics of the $298 Billion Budget Deal in California. They’re taking money out of their reserves for an “emergency” that doesn’t exist. We wrap it all up with some happy news. I formally graduated from Oxford!
A huge bombshell just dropped at the end of last week. The California Supreme Court just threw the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act off the ballot. We have here in California the highest taxes in America already, but now the CA government wants to solidify its “right” to keep raising taxes without limit. This is a blatant attack on your right as a citizen to constrain their tax increases. Susan Shelley was a part of the team that crafted this measure and put it on the ballot and she joins the show today to help us understand exactly what happened and where we go from here.
Today’s episode covers a wide variety of news. After the White House said they would not exploit or comment on it, Biden’s campaign is shelling out $50 million in ads attacking Trump’s conviction. Then, a NYT op-ed by Nicholas Kristof asks why we should put liberals in charge when places under their control are plagued with homelessness, crime, and more – claiming that they accept a “yawning gulf” between their values and their outcomes. Lastly, Jennifer Horn joins me to discuss child well-being, the LA public school cellphone ban, and how California residents feel about their leadership. The strain on Californians is serious and the reality is hitting hard. This is a great episode you can’t miss!
Almost every time Biden opens his mouth, it is a complete catastrophe. On today’s episode, we begin by looking at the flurry of stories regarding Biden's total incapacity to be in charge of the world's leading nation. He has the lowest approval rating in history, yet Democrats still defend him. Then, I talk about a new policy paper by my organization, Golden Together,  that outlines how stable upbringing is key to achieving the California Dream. Susan Shelley also joins me and we discuss the outrageous stuff that's going on in California right now. First, we touch on vaccine mandate lawsuits and then Susan breaksdown ACA1, which is being offered as a solution to housing and infrastructure, but is really just another awful progressive ballot initiative that harms your cost of living.
We have an emergency happening right now in California. There is an outrageous attempt by Sacramento Democrats to sabotage an initiative that has been widely supported by Republicans and Democrats and independents across our state. This ballot initiative set for November would reform Proposition 47, which enshrines in law the mad idea that you can steal up to $950 dollars and it's still only going to be a misdemeanor, basically letting off criminals with no punishment. District attorney of Yolo County, Jeff Reisig, joins us for this episode to discuss why it's outrageous, and what we need to do right now to try and stop this absolutely appalling attempt to reform this terrible law by Democrats.
In this episode I discuss the negligence and absurdness of the pandemic – it is full of scandal and requires accountability. More specifically, the pigheadedness of Dr. Anthony Fauci and the left. I then go on to discuss the Biden Admin’s embarrassing electric vehicle policies, costing Americans $7 billion in 2021 for charging stations, with only 7 charging stations built in 2024. Jennifer Horn joins me to discuss burglary tourism, the banning of plastic grocery bags, and the disastrous LA Metro pilot program in California. I wrap it all up with Robert De Niro’s Trump Derangement Syndrome outside of court. This is a great episode full of some of my hottest takes – you won’t want to miss it.
In this episode we discuss how war is not pleasant, but you should be allowed to respond when attacked, despite the ICC issuing warrants to Israel. We also discuss the Trump trials, Stormy Daniels, and how the courts keep proving their bias. I’m then joined by a podcast favorite, Susan Shelley, to discuss the budget and covering water stories in California. What is non-education spending? How are people getting pushed out of medical care? We cover it all. I wrap it all up discussing Biden’s new, but plentiful gaffes. This is a delightful episode you won’t want to miss.
It’s official! Joe Biden and Donald Trump are set to debate each other live for the world to see. On today’s show, we begin by discussing these upcoming presidential debates. Then, we briefly touch on the university protests. Specifically how these universities are canceling classes, changing graduation ceremonies, etc, making their entire student body suffer in order to pander to a loud minority. Joining me for California Corner is long-time friend Jennifer Horn of the Morning Answer! Jen and I break down recent progressive initiatives involving homelessness, alcoholics, and the LA Metro that have done nothing other than bring California and its citizens to the brink of total chaos. Then, Jeff Gonzalez joins me for Candidate Corner. Jeff is running for California Assembly in District 36, which covers three huge counties in Southern California. He shares his incredible story and his plans to reshape California. Lastly, I talk about Eric Adams story you may have seen all around the news and what his comments highlight about our immigration system.
This week’s episode is an enlightening one! I start with New York and Democrat’s very obvious target against Donald Trump under the guise of “saving” New York business, and it is a total corruption of our system. Next, I discuss how my organization Golden Together has found that Latinos are heavily intertwined into California’s “carbon economy” jobs, such as agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, and construction, which are jobs that California Democrats are trying to cut in the name of “climate justice”. California Democrats attack trucking every single day, yet 50% of Latinos are in the trucking industry. Latinos come to California for the “American Dream”, and California Democrats want to destroy that dream. I also discuss how California Democrats are attacking the Tax Payer Protection and Accountability Act, which would make tax hikes in the state go on the ballot. This is not an episode you want to miss!
On this week’s episode, I discuss how Joe Biden and University Presidents have been trying for weeks to appease pro-Palestine protestors, and it has gone nowhere. We know from history that appeasing ideologists will never work, and instead of negotiating with protestors who will never be appeased, we should be showing strength. Next, I detail how California comes last in the business climate when realistically California should be first in the country. Hurtful climate policies and taxes are the reason to blame, and you can go to GoldenTogether.com to learn more about our initiative on tackling these ridiculous anti-business laws! Next, I move on to exposing California Representative Ted Lieu’s financial scandal with the journalist who broke the story, Jennifer Van Laar. We also discuss her breaking story, which detailed the 11 felonies of Assistant Los Angeles DA Diana Teran, aka George Gascon’s Number 3. This is not an episode you want to miss!
In this episode, I discuss antisemitism disguised in protests against Israel and how the media and government are encouraging it – especially with Columbia University. I’m then joined by Susan Shelley of Daily News, as we discuss homelessness, Grants Pass V Oregon, Robinson V California, and more. Is Martin V Boise getting reversed? Are public camping laws unconstitutional? Next, I met with Jennifer Horn to discuss Mayor Karen Bass’ break-in and George Gascon. I wrap things up by discussing Bill Maher’s incredible bravery in pushing back against dangerous ideology for children. We truly cover it all. This is not an episode you want to miss!
On today’s podcast I discuss Biden emboldening Iran’s Israel attack and why young people are turning into propagandists against Israel, in support of the Iranian Regime. I also discuss inflation under Biden and his attempts to trick you. I’m then joined by Susan Shelley discussing the rising rates for water in California and Senate Bill 1441, an attempt to make it harder to challenge petition signatures. I finish up by discussing NPR’s hilarious reaction to their Editor’s The Free Press article. This episode is a must listen for your balanced media diet.
In today’s episode, I start by discussing the utter hypocrisy of Joe Biden and his administration. Within two consecutive days, Joe Biden abused his executive power to  bribe the elites, with money taken from working-class taxpayers, to vote for him. However, when it comes to the border security crisis, he claims there is nothing he can do. So, that just reveals how pathetic and ridiculous this administration is. Then, we talk about how parents of Michigan school shooter are a wake up call for parental responsibility across the globe. Then, Jen Horn of the Morning Answer and I discuss the recent eclipse and the closure of 99¢ stores around the country. Lastly, Lisa Smittcamp, Fresno County’s District Attorney joins us for Candidate Corner this week. She is one of the real movers behind a very important ballot initiative, aimed at reforming Proposition 47, which has driven the explosion in crime and retail theft here in California. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!
In today’s episode, we first start by discussing the Biden Administration’s disgraceful, official stance on the Israel-Hamas War. The events of October 7th were barbaric, many lives were lost and families torn apart, but mainstream media continues to actively ignore Israel’s right to defend itself. Now the Biden Administration is doing the same. Also on the episode, we briefly discuss the housing policies that have created unaffordable housing in the state and Susan Shelley joins us to talk about her most recent, and viral piece about Trump. Lastly, joining us for today’s Candidate Corner is none other than Nathan Hochman, He previously ran for Attorney General of California. Now, he is running to replace the notorious George Gascon as district attorney of Los Angeles County. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!
In today's episode, I highlight the “bloodbath hoax” – where the media is trying to convince us that Donald Trump’s turn of phrase, which they often use, means more than it does. We also talk about Biden’s Afghanistan fiasco, Fauci’s lies, and, as always, California. I met with the lovely Jennifer Horn, host of The Morning Answer, and later, Alexandra Macedo, candidate for California State Assembly District 33. We discuss the recent Golden State election as we continue to wait for the results, the continuous crime sprees taking over LA County, and the future of agriculture. This is not an episode you want to miss!
Steve recaps the lies, distortions, and cliches on today's show from Joe Biden and his State of the Union address. Joe Biden has shown his true colors time and time again, which is nothing but mediocre pandering to the power structures in his party, and right now that is the far-left. Next, I discuss the TikTok “ban” and what the legislation calls for, which is keeping our data and children away from our enemies' hands. Next, Susan Shelley joins me to discuss California’s Super Tuesday results and exactly why Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 1 did not go as planned by the Democrats. Lastly, California District 47 Congressional candidate Scott Baugh joins me to discuss his election results and his plan for his primary campaign. This is not an episode you want to miss!
In this episode of the Steve Hilton Show, I talk about the current Republican Party and all the things that come with it: Nikki Haley’s delusion, Trump’s impact, and Mitch McConnell stepping down – bringing the “three Johns” into the ring. I then met with Jennifer Horn, Host of “The Morning Answer” to navigate the possibilities around Super Tuesday in California, her fears, and the hopes she has for voters in Los Angeles. Are California Dems finally signaling that they’ve pushed their policies too far? I wrap things up by speaking with Josh Hoover, Assemblyman for California AD7, to discuss the myth that California is deep blue across the state, where you can see the greatest impact locally, and the bill he’s introduced and sponsored– AD2417, a new approach to California’s homeless problem.
In this week’s episode I discuss the border crisis, taxes, and the crazy voting system in California. Susan Shelley with Daily News provides insight on the voting dangers in the last election in Georgia and how California’s laws are full of shady loopholes and opportunities for fraud. Anne Hyde Dunsmore with Rescue California also joins me to discuss a potential Gavin Newsom recall, talking through his budget and focus towards the state. It all boils down to this: California citizens deserve better.
Welcome to the Steve Hilton Show. First, we have to address the national news story of the week: the Special Counsel report on Biden and his classified documents. The Democrats are desperately trying to escape the negative, but truthful comments questioning Biden’s capacity to be president. Then, we take a brief look at his foreign policy decisions. Despite Biden being sold this great “foreign policy genius”, his foreign policy has been the most disastrous part of his presidency and that's the consequence of having someone at the top who's not really in charge. In other news, California Senate candidate Barbara Lee wants to raise the minimum wage to $50 rather than address the Democrat policies that drastically raised the cost of living. Then, joining us in this episode for California Corner is none other than Jennifer Horn. Jen and I deep dive into Sacramento’s homeless problem and how it was miraculously cleaned up for Leonardo DiCapro’s latest film project. We also analyze the topics discussed at the California Senate debate and discuss how California’s jungle primary has created a one-party system. Chris Coulombe also joins us today for Candidate Corner. Chris is running for election to the U.S. House to represent California's 2nd Congressional District. He gives us a brief rundown of his background and his district’s current political situation. Lastly, I touch on the media malfeasance with a recent story regarding Trump and his words about NATO.
In this week’s episode, I first take a deep dive into the border bill and immigration crisis. Regardless if you're an independent, Democratic, Republican, we should all be able to agree that Congress and the rest of our federal government is in absolute shambles. Then, joining us today for California Corner, is my longtime friend and editor of California Globe, Katy Grimes. Katy and I discuss the ballot initiative to overturn Prop 47 which is, of course, at the heart of so much of the crime and chaos we're seeing in our cities. Joining us for Candidate Corner this week is Laurie Davies who is in the California State Assembly for the 74th District. She brings a unique perspective of the problems of affordable housing, safety, and crime from the state level. We end with a discussion on the recent Senate hearing last week that essentially reprimanded big tech CEOs of the United States for their handling of children’s online safety and exposure to sexual content.
In this week’s episode, I discuss the consequences of President Biden and his administration’s foreign policy. During President Trump, America had a great foreign policy reputation that Biden has completely pummeled through. Next, I meet with Susan Shelley to lay out all the details of Proposition 1, a deceptive and dangerous ballot measure that Gavin Newsom and the Democrats are pushing. Proposition 1 will be destructive to the state of California, and a robbery of existing funding to existing programs for mental health issues. Lastly, I am joined by Eric Early who is a candidate for US Senate.
In this episode, we discuss why Nikki Haley is still in the race and how the Independents and Republicans truly feel about Nikki Haley. Haley clearly has no chance of winning, and I discuss how this affects the future of the presidential race and what could happen if Trump does get convicted in his current cases. Next, I discuss how housing costs are the #1 reason why Californians are leaving the state, which has a trickle-down effect on other state issues. California’s environmental laws are a massive part of the housing crisis in California, I discuss how my initiative is helping combat these issues and take on the CEQA laws. If you want to help fix California’s housing crisis, help us get this on the ballot at CalHomesNow.com and click “Help Us Get This On the Ballot” and we will mail you a ballot if it qualifies!  I am also joined by Jennifer Horn to discuss California Corner and our first point of discussion is the debate for the Federal Office to replace Feinstein and our thoughts and who we are excited to see in the state race. We also get into California’s crazy proposed laws and headlines, including a proposed law that says cars made or sold in California would not be able to go 10mph over the speed limit. Californians are very obviously fed up with the crime rates in the state, and all eyes will be on the Los Angeles District Attorney race.  Lastly, I am joined by Alex Villanueva who is running for LA County Supervisor. Alex has a people-first initiative and understands the needs of the people in Los Angeles, such as affordable housing, accessible mental healthcare, hard-on-crime policies, and successful substance abuse treatment.  This is a packed episode you won’t want to miss!
There is a lot going on in politics everywhere. On today’s show, we begin by discussing Trump’s huge victory in Iowa at the beginning of this week. Then, Susan Shelley joins us to talk about the myriad of problems California is currently facing, from unbelievable horrors lurking within Gavin Newsom's latest budget crisis to the $9 billion dollar failure of the Los Angeles Metro. Lastly, we share our views on Davos. Also in this episode, we are introducing a new segment: Candidate Corner. Every week, we're going to bring you one of the candidates that's running for office right here in California, so that you can hear directly from them. Before we get to the individual candidates, Jessica Millan Patterson, chairwoman of the California Republican Party, joins us to give an overview of this election season and share her incredibly encyclopedic knowledge of absolutely every race in California.
This is the first episode of 2024 and I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! We have a lot to discuss as 2024 is going to be a massive year in terms of politics. First, I wanted to discuss my thoughts on states getting Trump off the 2024 Presidential ballot and how hypocritical Democrats are being. Democrats have always disregarded the Constitution as a “living document” and we should not take anything literally, but now it’s all they are doing to get Trump off the ballot. I also discuss the events surrounding Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and healthcare policies in California. Jennifer Horn is back to discuss the upcoming California Senate race and how Gavin Newsom will have to answer some hard questions regarding the state’s $68 billion budget deficit, and what this deficit means for the future of Californians. We end the show by discussing Ron DeSantis and his future in the presidential election, along with Trump and Nikki Haley.
On today’s show, I begin by detailing the Biden family’s drama which has been all over the news. While their corruption is becoming more public knowledge, Democrats and many Republicans in the establishment continue to blow it all off and say there's no evidence of wrongdoing. They don’t think there’s anything wrong with exploiting public office for private personal financial gain because they know that pretty much everyone in Washington does it. Then, our friend, the brilliant Susan Shelley joins us to discuss the new emergency regulations issued by the California Department of Justice regarding firearm safety instruction. Lastly, I talk about California’s impending $68 billion deficit and what the future of the budget is going to look like.
We first discuss how Rep. Pramila Jayapal could not even condemn sexual assault being used as a weapon of war by Hamas. Jayapal could not even bring herself to say what Hamas is doing is terror against women, but instead condemned Israel. Next, we talk about how San Francisco supervisors are focusing on cease-fire resolutions rather than focusing on real local issues. San Francisco is crawling with crime, a fentanyl crisis, and homelessness and that is the last thing on their mind. Jennifer Horn also joins us to reflect on the Newsom vs DeSantis debate. Lastly, we discuss how Los Angeles and San Francisco make the list for top 6 most expensive cities to live in the world.
The world has been watching as hostages have been released from Hamas, but of course the Biden administration is trying to take credit for this.

The California Homeownership Affordability Act will accomplish three objectives:1. Restore CEQA: The biggest barrier to building the new homes we need is the abuse of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to file nuisance lawsuits on bogus environmental grounds. When it was passed, CEQA did not even cover housing, and yet California finds itself in a situation where just between 2019 and 2021, around one million new homes that had been approved for construction by state and local government were blocked by bogus CEQA lawsuits.  This Initiative would eliminate CEQA abuse by ending the "private right of action" - only county DAs or the state Attorney General would be able to file CEQA lawsuits.Why should anyone be able to sue to stop housing being built, if it has already been approved and complies with all existing environmental regulations? 2. Cap Impact Fees: One of the main drivers of astronomical housing costs is the explosion in so-called "Impact Fees" being charged on new housing construction. These are effectively a tax on house-building and create an incentive for only expensive homes to be built. For example, the fees charged for building an apartment in San Francisco have been as high as $300,000 - even before the cost of land, labor, materials, etc. This Initiative will cap fees at 3% of the combined construction and labor cost of a new home. The cap would not include fees for schools, or to connect to utilities. The 3% cap would comprise state agency compliance fees capped at 1% and local fees at 2%. This would dramatically reduce the cost of new housing and incentivize the building of genuinely affordable homes through the market.  3. Construction Worker Housing Fund: To address the shortage of construction workers, which also contributes to rising costs, our proposal includes a new fund, financed by a small portion of Impact Fees, to create a down payment assistance program to help construction workers buy their own home if they commit to staying in the industry in California.
