Even If You Have Ebola!
In a high-stakes California gubernatorial race, Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host and political outsider, argues that he's the only Republican who can prevent two Democrats—Javier Becerra and Tom Steyer—from advancing to the November general election. With 56% of Californians believing the state is going in the wrong direction, Hilton frames the primary as a referendum on economic freedom, regulation, and the future of the California dream. He claims that cutting $745 billion in annual regulatory costs could make California the world’s third-largest economy and promises to slash taxes, eliminate the $800 small business fee, and reduce gas prices to $3 by opening up oil and gas production. His core message: a vote for any other Republican is a dangerous vote that risks handing Democrats a monopoly on power. The episode also dives into the absurdity of a United Airlines flight turning around after a teen named his Bluetooth device 'BOMB,' and later critiques Trump’s foreign policy, suggesting he’s being manipulated by Iran through Hezbollah while prioritizing his legacy as a 'dealmaker' over Israel’s security. The show closes with a fiery account of Scott Pelley’s meltdown at CBS, where he verbally attacked new leadership, leading to a dramatic exit and a crowd cheering his departure—symbolizing the collapse of old media power structures.
A vote for any Republican other than Steve Hilton in California's primary risks enabling two Democrats to advance, making his victory essential for change.
California’s $745 billion annual regulatory burden is the largest in the nation, and eliminating it could make California the world’s third-largest economy.
Hilton’s plan includes cutting taxes, eliminating the $800 small business fee, reducing vehicle registration to $71/year, and lowering gas prices to $3 by expanding oil and gas production.
A teenager’s Bluetooth device named 'BOMB' caused a United flight to turn around mid-air—highlighting how overreaction to perceived threats can disrupt systems.
Trump’s apparent boredom with Iran negotiations may be a calculated strategy to appear non-desperate, but experts believe he’s being manipulated by Iran through Hezbollah.
