Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from wor from Everywhere USA.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's Fox Across America with Jimmy Phalo, Jimmy Back in Action,
Fired Up, Read it a Go, Third and final hour
of Fox Across America with Jimmy Fallis. We're gonna be
hanging out if I can get the words out of
my mouth. I'm so excited about the possibility of this
man could be the next governor of the state of California.
I am talking about Steve Hilton, and he's gonna join

(00:26):
us in this hour eight at eight seven eight, eight,
nine to nine one zero. California gubernatorial race seems a
ways off right now because we are, of course, just
eight days away from the New York City mayor's race
where Zoran mom Donni's still in the lead. That can't
be good. And we've got a neck and neck dog
fight down in Jersey between Jack Chinarelli and Mikey Cheryl,

(00:46):
and of course down in Virginia where Obama was out
campaigning for Abigail's Spanberger. The white lady means nothing to me,
but I only pointed out because Barack Obama famously was
chiding black men a year ago, telling they had to
vote for the black lady in Kamala Harris, Kamala is awful.
What's her weird laugh haha. A lot of people feel

(01:07):
that way. But regardless of whether or not you're one
of them, you are welcome on the show. Okay. We
do a lot of goofy things here, but above all
else we're just a good old fashioned talk show and
you are all welcome. Eighty eight seven eight eight nine
nine one zero. And it's the same rule every day.
Be a Republican, be a Democrat, just don't be a bang.
As we get into way and I on number three,

(01:29):
so much going on in our politics, nothing going on
in our government. The government still shut down. There's nothing
going on right now other than the fact that they're
racking up interest that you'll eventually have to pay for
all of this nonsense.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Thanks big government witnesses.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
So for that, a little bit of frustration if you're
a person like myself who cares about the people directly
affected by this. But the president is out making peace
deals on the other side of the world. We're being
told there could be a TikTok deal announced this week.
He has broken what he says is eighth or ninth
peace deal and the latest attempt to gin up controversy

(02:05):
in the face of all of these deliverables. You know,
last week it was the White House ballroom. Wow, we've
got a ballroom. You can't be built at a ballroom.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
What the hell?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
What's with the knocking down the East Wing? And to
be clear, the East Wing is one hundred and twenty
three years old, which is the same age as all
of the No Kings protesters. But the point is the
Democrats are jetting up a fake controversy when they run
in that direction because donors are paying for it. And yes,
the presidents are going to use ballrooms. Nobody cares. They
can tell you they care. But let's be clear, Barack

(02:35):
Obama did not do the two hundred million dollar renovation
Donald Trump is engaging in right now. Barack Obama did
a three hundred and seventy six million dollar renovation. And
were any of the Democrats howling about it at the time,
answer would be no, you know, the construction nance would

(02:55):
be nothing, okay, the knockdown wall, the rubble dances, it
would be no. They didn't care. He was renovating the
White House, and you do that from time to time,
as we know, so many presidents before Trump got there
have done the very same thing. So it's all performative outrage,
no differently than President Trump. So it's funny. Last week

(03:18):
Steve Bannon was doing his show I believe it's on
over it's serious. I don't have the answer to that,
but Steve Bannon was talking about how Trump could technically speaking,
run for a third term as vice president. He wouldn't
be eligible to run as president, but he could run
a somebody else's vice president and then ultimately get into
office that way. Now, Trump was directly asked about that
and said, no, okay, I wouldn't do that. It's too cute.

(03:42):
I don't think people would like it. But the article
I read this morning was Trump doesn't rule out running
for a third term. The media is a bunch of losers.
That's gonna be one of the biggest, like last day
fearmongerings of the Trump era is that he's going to

(04:03):
run again and he's not going to leave office. Guys,
I'm just telling you because I care. Local appellate court
judges have blocked every word out of Trump's mouth. I'm
going to deport people. Oh no, no deportations yet. Judge
just granted an injunction you can't deport it, and then
they have to go to the Supreme Court, and the
Supreme Court goes, okay, of course he can support people,

(04:24):
at which point he starts deporting people. Okay, well I'm
going to cut government spend and no, no, you're not.
Local appellate court judge somewhere up in Maine just said
you can't do that. So then they asked to go
to the Supreme Court and they go, oh, of course
you can, you can do that. You can, you know,
you cut the spending, and that's what they do. They've
had to do this with foreign aid. They've had to
do this with funding endowments to anti Semitic colleges like

(04:46):
Harvard and Columbia. Some of those battles. Every single thing
Trump has tried to do and appellate court judge has blocked.
The only way he's maintained his ability to keep doing
them is by appealing to the Supreme Court. Now, one
thing you need to understand about the Supreme Court and
the people who oppose Trump is that if he were
to announced he was running for a third term, it
would immediately get challenged in court. The Supreme Court would

(05:08):
then have to rule based on what's in the Constitution,
and Trump would have zero chance of running a third time.
He is judicially blocked from running as a president. The
reason Steve Bannon, to his credit, had the foresight to
find the whole he could run as a VP and
work it as an end around is technically that is true,

(05:29):
and he's trying to shake the pot up and kick
the old hornet's nest and get the media ginned up
and paying attention to these clips. But understand, he has
to go that route because there is no chance for
Trump to run for a third term for president. That
is a fact. Local courts will block it, the Constitution

(05:49):
blocks it, which means the Supreme Court blocks it. But
you're never going to let the facts get in the
way of a good manufactured hysteria. Like you understand what
the Democrats are talking about right now. It's all pretend toff.
If a president can't knock down a ballroom, of course
he can, Okay, no king's protest. We don't have a king.
Shut up. He's going to run for a third term.
But you know what, they're not protesting like the things

(06:10):
people voted for that are happening. Gas hovering around three
bucks a gallon. Now it's hit its lowest points since
it was when he got into office last once. Since
he left off his last time, Inflation cool to the
point that they're expected the cut interest rates. The stock
market breaking forty seven thousand for the first time ever.
Do you remember when this tariff thing started? Liberation Day
all the way back in April, and they said he

(06:31):
would destroy the economy and the stock market would never recover. Wrong, Okay,
the stock market from that day to today is up
about five thousand points. The people who get on TV
and scare you for a living, okay, they have been
wrong about everything. And one of the reasons they've been
wrong about everything is there's no accountability when it happens.

(06:54):
They don't get fired, they don't get suspended, they don't
get fined. They just go on TV the next day,
make up a new his hysteria and pretend the first
one never happened, or the second one or the third one.
Like do you remember when we thought the world was
going to end because the Mayan calendar said, like a
meteorite would hit us on a Tuesday, and that was that. Well,
all of those doomsday preachers at least had the decency

(07:15):
to disappear for six months after the media didn't strike
the earth. They took all your donations and went to
an all inclusive with one of their mistresses and got
drunk at the swim up bar and shagged one of
their side chicks.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
I love.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Well, that's what a lot of those dirt bags do,
those Grift and evangelists people. But understand this, Okay, they
at least had the good sense to disappear. They didn't
show up the next day and be like, actually, I
was holding the calendar upside down. Turns out we're all
gonna die tomorrow. That's what the Democrats do with everything.
He's Hitler, Well he hasn't. Where when's the Hitler in

(07:47):
going to start? Okay, Hitler did not run for office, win,
run for office, lose, get indeted ninety one times, get shot,
run for office again, and then start with the Hitler
stuff part. Yeah, the point is they're all full of Okay,
it's all a manufactured hysteria. So the third term thing

(08:07):
is the latest manufactured hysteria. Forget that your groceries might
be a little cheaper, Forget that your gas might be
a little cheaper. Forget that your streets might be a
little the cheaper. What you need to focus on is
the ballroom and the parties he's gonna want to have. Look,
he's already building a ballroom. Guys, he knows he's sticking around.
That's what they're doing on cable news right now. It's
so embarrassing. But here's Trump talking about it. Okay, he

(08:28):
has asked about himself running again, and he pivots to
my cabine would be great. Am I ruling it out?
You'd have to tell me, which is kind of an
ambivalent statement, but he's flat out I'm going to give
you both clips ruling it out here. It is clip ten.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
We have great people. I don't have to get into them,
but we have one of them standing right here. We
have JD obviously, the vice president is great. I think
Mark goes great. I think I'm not sure if anybody
would run against so. I think if they ever formed
a group would be unstoppable. Do I believe that I would?

Speaker 4 (09:01):
I would.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
I would love to do it, and I have my
best numbers. Ever, it's very terrible. I have my best numbers.
You read if you read it. Am I not ruling
it out, and you'll have to tell me. All I
can tell you is that we have a great, a
great group of people which stay done.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
So it's kind of dunking on the Democrats. But here's
the rest of it. Clip eleven.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
One period on how you.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
You might try to serve a third term is that
you could run us the vice president.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that, is the wh
for the last council years.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
You'd be allowed to do that, But I would I
would do I think it's it's too cute. Yeah, I
would rule that up because it's too cute.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
I think that people wouldn't like that.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
It's too cute.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
It's not it wouldn't be right. So that's Trump. I
wouldn't do that. It's too cute. I think the people
wouldn't like that. It's too cute. It would not be right.
So that's Trump saying I'm not gonna be someone's vice
presidential candidate as a way of becoming the president that way,
flat out saying that the media is like he's gonna
run again. We're in big trouble.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Now.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Forget that the country is doing better. Imagine it's doing
worse because we said so. And that's the biggest problem.
The reason I go on the road do as much
stand up as I do when I can is I
like talking to real people because I'm a real person.
It's just what I come from, you know. I spent
the weekend doing for real. Spent my Saturday watching Lincoln
play football. That was an eleven am game. Then I

(10:29):
went to activate with my nieces and nephews who were
in town from Ohio, and we crawled around and dodged lasers.
Then I hosted a TV show ten o'clock Saturday night,
and I came home and made breakfast for my family,
watched football and played with a ball. And by the way,
I finally beat Lincoln in a home run derby yesterday.
Oh my, I forgot about that. The streak is over.

(10:53):
I have I'm not even kidding. I have lost seven
seven game series to my son in a row. Oh
and I beat him yesterday in the driveway. Straight up,
shut your mouth. I should have led the show with this.
What am I even talking about? But the point is,
these are the things I'm doing with my life. That
I went to Maria's, my cousin, for dinner yesterday that
we came home and we watched the Steelers get their

(11:13):
ass handed to them by the packers. Very normal stuff.
I hung out my family a week A normal person.
I like meeting you some a normal person. But part
of being a normal person means, you know what normal
people prioritize. No one is sitting down at the family
dinner table tonight, going, you know about this ballroom, honey,
about the king? Honey, we can't have a king in
this country. And one of the kids is like, hey,

(11:35):
we don't have one, you idiot. Okay, But the point is,
if you're in a no king's house, I mean, you
probably don't have kids. But even if you do, you
probably have kids that have been forced into your own ideology.
That's how trans five year olds happen. No five year
old is trans unless they were surrounded by a parent
and a teacher going, you might be in the wrong body.
You might be in the wrong body. Are you in
the wrong body? Do you ever think about maybe being
in the wrong body? You don't you get surgery if

(11:56):
you think you're in the wrong body, at which point
of kid goes, oh maybe I'm in the wrong body. Okay.
Any five year old. Any three year old who thinks
they're trapped in the wrong body is actually trapped in
the wrong house. He's a lousy dead but he's right.
But the biggest problem for Democrats, and that lack of
self awareness for everybody, is they don't realize the hysteria
doesn't play anymore. People don't care. They don't No one's

(12:20):
sitting around thinking a ballroom is authoritarianism. No one is
sitting around listening to Trump say I won't run again
as a VP candidate, going all that means he's gonna
run again. He's not gonna run again. Okay, he got one.
As far as he's concerned, he's three and zero because
of the twenty twenty election. Have you never seen him
count that in a lost column? No, he was tweeting

(12:42):
over the weekend. I won three elections by a lot,
and I've got my best pull numbers ever. But the
polls aren't showing me, you know, fair read on where
people stay at Like, he's very delicate about that stuff.
He's not running again, But you gotta do something besides
manufactured hysteria. I'm making this point a lot on the
show lately. If your outreach to voters is that you'll
stop a pretend thing from happening. It is undoubted, unquestionable.

(13:07):
There will be people that'll vote for any vote you
anyway because they have the luxury of being like, yeah,
I want to stop the pretend thing because what the
government does doesn't affect them. But it's only a matter
of time if you get elected on nothing that you
do encounter that where's the beef moment in your party?
I have been playing you this clip of Charles Barkley
for a year and a half now where Charles Barkley,

(13:28):
the NBA legend goes well. The reason Democrats are losing
support is they only care about black people every four years.
Black people know that now they don't sit around going yeah,
I just absolutely cannot vote Republican because these Democrats they
show up every four years, they say they like me,
They say everybody else is racist, but they're going to

(13:49):
protect me. To remember Joe Biden saying that Mitt Romney
was going to put black people back in chains like insanity.
But he said that when he was campaigning with Obama.
I mean not as I guess as bad or as demeaning,
is what he said when he was campaigning for himself.
If you have a problem figuring out whether you're pre
me or Trump and you ain't black, remember that doozy.
But the point is there's so many pretend things the

(14:11):
Democrats are trying to vanquish right now. Okay, Trump's gonna
o Charncer, He's gonna run again. He's not, though, So
you can't really ask people to mobilize behind stomping things
that isn't that are already happening, same time with the
Kings thing, that's the scam of right now. So I
watch this, it gives it makes it very easy to
do my job as an entertainer, as a talk show host,

(14:33):
as a TV host. But in terms of them doing
their job in Washington, is that happening? Not even close
the show that leaves you with it's so many phone
calls in the last three weeks from people who operate
radio stations around the country. Some of them operate radio
stations locally here in the Tri State area, and they're like,

(14:55):
why does your show sound so different? What are you doing?
Sounds like you're on TV. The pace is weird. You're
bringing on people and doing segments and stuff like what
in the you know, do you remember the old SoundBite.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
The wide wide worldless porch isn't going on here.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
No, I've been telling everybody part of the challenge of
the news cycle because it's been so like militant bad.
You know, we had the shutdown which is still going on,
these anti ice protests, people are getting shot at all
these disingenuous rallies and stuff. We really do get on
the air here and try to take the edge off.
Radio is a very intimate medium, and you usually you know,

(15:34):
they say you're always talking to one guy in radio, Uh,
you know, and that's You've got to look at it
like it's an intimate conversation. Somebody's listening to you in
a pair of headphones. Somebody's listening to you in the
car while they're driving alone. Somebody's listening to at work
and they're not supposed to be. I've met so many
of you out there doing stand up. They keep my
headphones into work. Nobody knows that whole thing. Okay, you're
broadcasting the one person. It's so much different than you know,

(15:57):
the way that works on TV. But the is when
I picture myself talking to one person at heart, I'm
always picturing a guy who's at Burger King getting a whopper,
but he's got a lap full of McDonald's fries. He's
going to two different fast food places at once to
build the most whatever he thinks the most complete meal is.
You know, it could be a what a Burger guy

(16:17):
if you're down in Texas or an in and out
guy if you're on the West go. It doesn't matter
to me. I don't play favorites. I like it all.
You've seen what I look like. But it's always like
a very into the conversation, and I'm trying to make
sure that I'm not besieging you with so much negativity,
because we really pride ourselves on this show of being
like a port in the storm, you know what I'm saying,

(16:38):
where you can, you know, listen to the program day
in and day out and kind of know what's going
on in the world, but not be ready to punch
somebody in the face at the end of three hours
of a conversation.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
You know that never hit anyone in anger unless you're
absolutely sure you can get away.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
With it exactly. So we try at times to really
downshift hard and make, you know, make the news cycle
a little more palatable this week as I'm looking ahead,
you got Halloween, you got New York City Marathon. Locally,
New York should be okay. Then next week they elect
a socialist and then everybody just runs for their lives.

(17:13):
It's not good, but at least we've got a good
week this week. So uh, that's what you need to know.
If you've been calling in, I've got yo. Last week
we got so many fricking calls. The other problem is
this show is so accessible because we come to your
markets and we meet you and we hang out that
everybody thinks they're like a de facto producer of the show,
and you kind of are. I'm not saying you are.

(17:34):
You guys have a lot of say we're like the packers.
Everybody owns a little brick. But you can't keep asking
me or I'm gonna start throwing those bricks back at you.
Steve Hilton, he's going to be the next governor of California.
With any lock he will stop. I to end this
ruckus once and for all. Halo, And I'm going to
tell you something about this next guest. He very well
may be the next governor of California. And he will

(17:56):
be if the state knows what's good for them. But
he would normally be joining me in studio, but he
can't be here today because he's starting a GoFundMe for
Gavin Newsom since Gavin grew up as poor as he did.
According to this weekend's podcast appearance, Steve Hilton is here
to shake the cop.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Hey man, So how are you doing?

Speaker 1 (18:14):
By the way, I'm definitely going to be the next
govern of California. Did you see the latest poll came
out on Friday?

Speaker 2 (18:19):
I'm leading in the polls. We were excited. I high
fived Kennedy in a green room. We saw this side
of the TV. We got excited. But do you fear
that there's some empathy for Newsom now that he's telling
people he grew up poor?

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Oh my goodness, It's like, okay, so let's get into
it this way. So the other thing that popped out
this week we get from Kevin Newsom was his his
big announcement that he might be thinking of running for president.
Oh wow, we didn't guess that. It's like the only
thing he's been doing the last twenty years basically anyway.

(18:56):
So and in the course of that, he's asked this
question about for president, and he says, oh, maybe you know, yes,
I should be honest about it. You know, of course
I'm considering it because if I didn't, that would be
a lie. And wait, he says, and you can't do that,

(19:16):
you know, like lying almost every single thing he says,
by you, I mean just big ones and little ones,
you know, when he says I've never said Latin next,
And then within an hour there's like someone's put together
like ten clips of him saying Latin next. Anyway, so
that's the context where he says, I'm so poor? What
is it wonder bread or whatever? We like, within an hour,

(19:37):
someone's got, you know, on social media, we love it
so much, has found this profile of him, not even
some kind of profile piece in the San Francisco Chronicle
from decades ago, with a photo of him, the two
Gettys and someone else, and it's literally the children of

(19:57):
the rich in San Francisco.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
He's and he's one of them.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Like that's like, within an hour, it's so unbelievable, And
I can't figure out what's actually going on with him?

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Is he aware that?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
And he's just cynical and just lying and thinks he
can get away with it. Is it that he truly
believes what he's saying. Is it some weird pathological I
just can't decide what it is.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
It is a tricky spot. We're talking to the great
Steve Hilton. The people I feel bad for, just given
the current moment we're living in. Is anyone going to
his Halloween costume a party hoping to win best Costume?
Because this guy will pretend to be anything. You know,
it's a very high bar this Friday at the New
Some Halloween. I mean, you couldn't rule out anything. He's
been a poor guy, as you said with the Latin

(20:44):
next thing. This is my problem, and I wanted to
comment about this as a guy wh's been pretty successful
in life himself. I don't know why Democrats run away
from areas where they've been successful, like he obviously hasn't
been successful as a governor. No one could argue that
he could be. But if you are from an Athlin
family or you are yourself affluent, it's actually an attribute.

(21:06):
I think Donald Trump kind of, you know, laid the
ground for this. They're supposed to embrace and say to people, Hey,
wouldn't you like to do this too?

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Someday no one, and you just think, you know what,
why do you have to kind of come out with
this endless kind of fake propaganda and this image, I
mean the Halloween costume.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
I mean someone was just saying I saw on social
media again, you know that's the problem when because the
other thing he said in the interview about his poverty was, oh,
how is you know how being being anti woke is racist?

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Not that long ago he was on with had Charlie
Kirk on his podcast agreeing how terrible the wok agenda
wasn't it was destroying the thing anyway? So I pointed out,
this is the problem when you have you know, you're
basically lizard. You can't remember what skin you've got on
at any one time.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
So maybe that's the costume.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'm going to Steve Hilton. Let me just give hi
a note here. The book is called calip Failure, Reversing
the Ruin of America's Worst run State and all of
the things he points to, and I want you to
elaborate on this too. He always talks about the size
of the economy. Yeah, but he has nothing to do
with the economy being as big as it is. If anything,
he's shrinking it, no, one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
So here's exactly he keeps going on about how we're
the fourth biggest economy in the world.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
That is statistically true.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
But number one, that's nothing to do with him. Number two,
it's actually despite him, because we have, at the same
time as all of that, the worst business climate in America.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Chief Executive magazine.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
They run a survey every year chief executives across the
country best and worst states to do business. For the
last ten years, California has been fiftieth out of fifty
states for business climate. So my argument is, when I
get in there as governor and I get rid of
all the insane regulations and taxes, yeah, we'll do it.
We'll be you know, we'll lift all that burden, will
be the third biggest. But here's the other point that
the deep point about this, which is.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
This economy that he braggs.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Which has nothing to do with him, Despite of him,
it doesn't even help regular people. It's a it's an
economy where the rich get richer, regular working people gets screwed.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
So as well as the fourth.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Biggest economy, we also have today the highest unemployment rate
in America and the highest poverty rate in America. So
this is not an economy that works for people.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
That's why.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
And everything you look at gas prices, housing costs, mortgage,
you know, rent, whatever it is, electric water, insurance, everything
is the most expensive in the country, and we pay
the highest taxes. He's a total failure. I keep saying
he's the most I have this little thing I do
on the on the road, I talk about, you know,
President Trump ran as maga. Newsom is going to run

(23:45):
as mugger, the most useless governor in America.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
That fits on the hat, bits on the hat. It's perfect.
And then I think, actually, that doesn't do justice to it.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I just wonder whether given that he's literally made California
fifty out of fifty on absolutely every I mean we
haven't even talked to, you know, on the school result
of third grade reading with the worst homelessness whatever, is
he the most useless governor in American history? Being able
to pull this off the worst on everything all at
the same time, it's kind of an amazing achievement.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Well, you know what, man, that's the funny thing. Gavin
Newsom may not become president, but he'll be a answer
to a trivia question. That's the good news. We're talking
to Steve Hilton. The book It really is a mush
read because it's such a case study and how big
government fails pretty much everybody. And the problem is that

(24:35):
people fronting big government usually escape the wreckage by nationalizing
their own plight. Meaning Newsom is not out there day
in and day out trying to fix California right now,
he's just trying to pick fights with the president, hoping
to fail upwards towards the presidency. Like is a guy
running for governor? Do you see an effort being made
legitimate and a legitimate effort out of Newsom to help

(24:57):
rebound from these wildfires? I don't see.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
No, the opposite, right, it's literally the opposites on the wildfires.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
You've got a situation where you're still.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
You know, it's now, I don't know, it's soon, it'll
be a year, and they still haven't figured out the
basics of how to help people in la with I
talked to people the whole time in Palisades Alteradan that
they're still telling me horror stories. I went to the
building department, I went to try and get my permit.
They couldn't give me the permit because they said, I

(25:26):
don't have the insurance. I go to the insurance, I
can't get insurance because I don't have the permit. I mean,
all this is still going on months afterwards after Newsom
said he's another kind of complete you know, example of
his ridiculous nonsense. He said in January he said, we're
going to have this is a quote a Marshall plan,
Marshall plan.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
To rebuild the palisades. He just says these.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Things and then nothing happens. And that's the true point
about all these people, him, Karen Bath, Karmala Harris is
the same all these Democrats, is that they're just machine politicians.
They think that's kind of announcing something, doing a press
release or whatever, is the same as doing something in
the real world. That's why Trump is so different. It

(26:08):
just doesn't think like that.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
It's like, that's bs.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
That doesn't mean anything what you announced, it's what you do,
it's what your results. That's why I always say that
I'm not a career politician. I've worked most of my
career in business. My first job was project manager for
a construction company.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
That you've got to focus on you know, if you
don't focus.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
On getting things done, the building doesn't get built. And
everyone can see that. And that's the world that is
just alien to these machine politicians.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Well give you this, Steve Hilton, since you invoked your
past as a project matter, as a construction company, isn't
that really why Trump just you know, he had told
people he was going to build a ballroom, but last
Monday they just kind of, you know, decided to do
it to it because if he had given them a
projected start day down the road, they were just going
to sue him and block him in court for the
next year and a half.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
Were they not exactly exactly?

Speaker 1 (26:58):
And you just got to get it done, by the way,
on that point, the last thing we moved here twenty
twelve with my wife and my two sons, and the
last rob I had before moving he was senior advisor
to the Prime Minister, to David Cameron, and the last
thing I did in that role was a tend with him.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
A state visit was the.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Official visit from the Prime Minister to the US. There
was a state banquet in the White House. I was
super excited and never been to the White House. Amazing,
and I couldn't believe it when we all sort of
traps outside it was raining and walk across the grass
to this plastic tent in the ground that's where they

(27:38):
have these events, and you have the rain dripping down?

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Is that what this is?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
America? Come on, it's so embarrassing. Of course, we need
to get this done. And everyone will agree with that
once it's built.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah, and they'll all use it. We're talking to Steve Hilton,
next governor of California. I mean, you should not be
coming to America for a big state event and hearing
things like be careful with your high heels in the grass.
Nobody's heels should be sinking in mud. But you know
why it's delicate?

Speaker 4 (28:09):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
The East the East wing of the White House is
one hundred and twenty three years old, and that is
the same age as every No King's protester in the
Democrat Party. So they're sentimental.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
I thought you were going with Biden there, you know,
I thought that was the direction.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
No, No, we've got age just jokes for everybody on
the show that anyone could be the victim. That's the point.
You got to modernize the material. Steve. The show's on
every Saturday Night. You can't do last Saturday exactly.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Very very good. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Well that's why you're winning in the rating. Great rating,
thanks buddy, exactly.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Well, this is the last question and then I'll let
you get back to it. You have this one issue.
It's like you're running, You're winning in the polls. Everybody
loves you, but we've never seen you demonstrate the warmth
of say a Katie Porter.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
Are you gonna what?

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Are you gonna open up and show the softer side
that Katie's mill.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
I need to work on my people skilled, It's very true.
I need to definitely show some show some of that
same kind of empathy for my team. We need to
find ways of doing that. It is my favorite thing
to do now. Basically, I'm on the road. I'm doing
these events, you know, two three a day or whatever,
and I turn round on stage and I love you know,
I'm a very polite person, so I don't do the

(29:23):
full Katie Porter, but I have the crowd behind me
and I just yell into the microphone.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Get out of my effing shot. It's a classic.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
It'll be with us for a long time, that one.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah, it will. I just hope you don't wind up
getting tackled at a gubernatorial debate a year from now.
Be careful out there, okay, exactly, you're the man, the
great Steve Hilp will do it again sooner, brother, Thank.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
You, fantastic, good to be with you.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
There he goes, the great Steve Hilton, man who is
leading in the polls to be the next governor of California.
Imagine that Katie Porter didn't do herself any favors with
that whole I mean, that will be viral forever to
get the f out of my shot. And they're doing
everything they can the round up staff videos and make

(30:12):
them go away so they don't wind up all over
the TV again. But there's nobody running against Hilton right now.
That isn't just another round of newsom. That's the problem
big government. Here's what you need to know about this.
The argument against big government is we always talk about
it at twenty thousand feet. Well, big government's gonna cost

(30:34):
a lot of money. It's going to cost more taxes, okay,
and those are valid reasons not to want big government.
What's funny is everybody who tells you Trump's that authoritarian
is a Democrat who actually supports a bigger, more powerful government.
Trump is doing the opposite of that. Doze was meant
to rein in the size and scale of the government.
So again that was a classic exercise and projection. But

(30:56):
getting past the fact that it will cost you more
on the tax side, and oftentimes the government is there
to spend money because it's not theirs, it's yours, And
the government is there to spend money in the direction
the lobbyists prefer, because that big government needs to get reelected,

(31:16):
and the way they get reelected is by raising money fundraising.
So a lot of times these guys come off like
NASCAR drivers. You know the old joke where everybody always
tweets you know, we should make these politicians. Where are
the patches like Nascar? So we know who owns these people.
And you've been hearing that joke for thirty years, forty
to fifty year and it's true, it's a real joke.

(31:37):
I mean, they are wholly owned subsidiaries in a lot
of cases by outside interests. But getting past all of that,
all of that is every time you increase the size
of the government, there are more people standing between you
and what you need to happen. Okay, so take California.
They lose three thousand homes four thousand homes depending on

(31:59):
the estimate. It okay, these homes need to get rebuilt.
But in a big government, heavy regulation state like California,
that means you now have to go through ten different
permitting processes, and all you need is one person in
one process that doesn't do their job, doesn't want to
do their job, and gets off by power tripping and
telling you no because they can. How many times have

(32:21):
you gotten into a business, whether it's the Department of
Motor Vehicles, whether it's somebody at a post office where
it's someone in a position behind a counter to tell you, Nope,
not doing that today. Sorry, you didn't check this box.
All right, we'll have a pen. I'll check it right now. Nope. Sorry,
that's not how it works. Nick, What do you mean

(32:42):
you said I checked it? I checked the box.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
You gotta have all your paperwork. Hey, folks, if you're
gonna come up here, you gotta fill out your paperwork
ahead of time. We're not here and you're like what
I was in. I was here for three hours. I
want to kill somebody. That's the argument against big government
that's the biggest argument you need to know is every
time you put another person between you and what you
want done, you increase the odds of you running into
the person that was never going to help anybody to

(33:05):
begin with. And that actually cost you more money because
in the big government, you've got to pay the big
extra salaries. You've got to pay for the big people
who aren't going to help you to begin with. That's
why it was a former California government who saw a
governor who summed it up best, government is not the
solution to our problem. Government is the problem. The show

half of America's Newsroom. He is a guy I kind
of bond with a lot over sports on the air

(34:31):
because that's a way for us to bridge the intellectual gap.
He's obviously a lot smarter than I am. And we
want to get back into this big NBA gambling scandal
a little bit tomorrow because we had a revelation today.
I was on America's Newsroom this morning, and I had
a revelation of what the future holds for all of
us based on what we already know. This isn't like
a prediction like I think this is going to happen
next No, okay, I grew up around gambling, big gambling, cash, gambling, bookies, casinos.

(35:00):
If you saw me on Larry Cudlow last week, this
is the joke of the day, maybe the joke of
the week. Larry Cudler, the day this NBA story broke,
asked me to come on to his show last Thursday.
So I came on and talked to him about gambling
in the underworld and proposition bets and marketing and everything
like that. Well, Friday, Cudlow drags me into his office
and he goes, hey, I just want to thank you
for coming on the show. And as you know, Larry

(35:22):
has struggled with several addictions. He went to I Believe
drug treatment and alcohol treatment. He goes, I've been addicted
to a couple of different things, but I've never heard
an addict to talk about advice the way you did
with Gambler. And I go, well, I've actually not going
to Gamble's Anonymous and he goes, oh, well, maybe you should.

(35:42):
This has been a podcast from wor
