The Steve Hilton Show

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 John Gonzalez to discuss how he flipped the seat with his district. Additionally, I met with Ali Macedo and 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.
