Joining us now to discuss the pent-up frustrations fueling the California political shift is entrepreneur, author, and podcast host Steve Hilton. Steve, thanks so much for coming on.
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, something you touched on earlier was that the fires opened the eyes of a lot of people. Just this week, there was a release that said four million Californians live in fire danger zones. Just wondering, because you might have more information on this than me, is that a policy failure or is that just the reality of the climate in California and where some of these homes are built?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Good to be with you. So, Steve, a variety of polls right now are showing that voters are not happy with Democrats, including in deep blue California. Do you think there's a chance a conservative candidate could actually win in 2026 for the governor's race?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, California also announced a nearly $1 billion deficit last week. It's pretty stunning considering that we think of California as an extremely wealthy state with a huge tax base. They have Silicon Valley, for example. So where is all that money going?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, all of the failures that you mentioned are actually fueling a lot of people to leave the state. Just for example, I left about five years ago and pretty much every conservative I know was either planning to leave or has left just in the past few years. So it's striking that 48 to 50 percent of Californians say they'd be open to voting for the GOP.
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
I suppose this would be hard to measure, but is this newly minted conservative voters because the rest of us have left? Or what do we know about the demographics there?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, I want to talk to you about your book. It's hard to distill it down, but what would you say are the top two, three, five things that California could do to change their trajectory?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
Now, feel free to punt on this, but if you were to make a short list of people who you think get the job done could get into office in California, so both get the job done in terms of turning the state around, but also appeal to a purple to blue electorate, who would you say those candidates are that you'd recommend?
Morning Wire
Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25
All right. Well, Steve, thank you so much for coming on.

Is California Ready to Vote Red? | 3.30.25

Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
Well, that unbeatable coalition somewhat evaporated, it sounds like.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
And none of those people are laughing anymore.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Sunday, December 29th, and this is your Morning Wire Year in Review.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
So Trump's political strategy was unconventional, but it proved to be remarkably successful. Of course, that's only half the story. What went wrong for Democrats?
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
2024 was a landmark year in American politics, with a presidential campaign that saw unprecedented twists and turns and culminated in the most stunning electoral comeback in modern history. In this special end-of-year edition of Morning Wire, we're going to take a step back to look at the bigger picture, as what was once breaking news makes its way into the history books.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
Now, the economy was obviously a huge issue in this last election. According to exit polling, voters who said it was their top concern overwhelmingly broke for Trump, something like 81%, according to NBC. But at the same time, we were told by the Biden administration that the economy was doing great. So what was their main source of discontent?
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
And Vice President Harris was at the top of the ticket, not the sitting president.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
But Harris herself was also soundly defeated, and Democrats also lost control of both houses, so it wasn't just him.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
So the top of the Democratic ticket appears to have been unusually weak. They were also underwater on the key issues driving voters to the polls. But they did see some big wins on abortion in particular.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
Looking back, unprecedented might be the word of the year for 2024. Donald Trump was reelected to the presidency after a narrow defeat in 2020, becoming the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms and the first in more than 100 years. For the first time in American history, a major presidential candidate was convicted on felony charges.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
Well, abortion also wasn't the only issue that Democrats leaned on. President Trump faced some significant legal challenges even during the course of his campaign.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
Now, do you think that sort of heated rhetoric played into the attempts on the president's life?
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
Well, and we're already seeing the impact of that alliance now. And remarkable to think that Elon's only been at Trump's side for just a few months now.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
All right. Well, Michael, thank you so much for compiling that for us.
Morning Wire

That was Daily Wire researcher Michael Whitaker, and this has been a Sunday edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Election Earthquake: How Donald Trump Dominated 2024 | 12.29.24
The other major candidate, Joe Biden, dropped out of the race less than a month before his party's convention. And the future of that political party is now totally up in the air. Joining us to discuss all of this is Daily Wire researcher and contributor Michael Whitaker. So, Michael, let's start at the beginning. How did we get here?

Executive Orders Halted: Are Judges Overstepping? | 3.23.25
Over the last few weeks, we've seen several district judges put a halt to some of President Trump's executive orders, including his dismantling of USAID, his firing of thousands of government workers, and his ban on people who identify as transgender from serving in the military. Do these judges have this authority, or is this judicial overreach?

Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
In this episode, we speak with Heritage Foundation Vice President for National Security and Foreign Policy Victoria Coates about the uphill battle Trudeau faces and what comes next. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's December 22nd, and this is a Sunday edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Now, a lot of people are pointing to Trump's return to power as one of the factors that's causing some of this turmoil in Canada, particularly relating to his tariff threats. Is there any truth to that?
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Justin Trudeau's popularity, you mentioned, is at an all-time low. And you did mention that there's some economic factors there contributing. What other issues are leading to his unpopularity? Is it primarily just the depreciating dollar or what else is going on?
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Last week, Canada's finance minister and one of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's closest allies resigned, sending shockwaves throughout Parliament. Krista Freeland's resignation caused a chain reaction of Parliament members demanding that the Prime Minister resign.
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Now, we recently saw Trudeau visit Mar-a-Lago and be somewhat deferential to Trump. Is that a good strategy for him with regards to his relationship with the U.S., or is that just going to weaken him further?
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Now, opposition leader Pierre Palliev is gaining momentum all while Trudeau craters. What do you think his chances are in the event of a vote?
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Now, the housing shortage in Canada was voted the most consequential story of 2024 by Canadian press outlets. How big is the crisis there in Canada and how is it shaping the discontent?
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
All right. Well, Victoria, thank you so much for coming on. Absolutely a pleasure. Thank you, Georgia. That was Victoria Coates, Vice President of National Security and Foreign Policy at the Heritage Foundation. And this has been a Sunday edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Will Trudeau Resign? Canada’s Leadership in Jeopardy | 12.22.24
Joining us now is Victoria Coates, vice president of national security and foreign policy at the Heritage Foundation. So, Victoria, quite a bit of chaos happening in Canada. First off, Krista Freeland, Canada's finance minister, resigned this past week. How significant is that and what does her departure suggest about the internal fractures within the Liberal Party?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
Now, you mentioned that there's some groundswell in the media to put these companies on the hot seat. Something interesting, I'm sure you've already observed this, that I've seen just in the past, say, month or two, I keep seeing articles from legacy media that seem to defend processed foods. So just a couple examples.
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
The Times recently ran a headline, Why Ultra-Processed Foods Aren't Always Bad, about a month before they ran a title. Are seed oils actually bad for you? The subhead there was RFK Jr. and others claim they're harming our health, but the evidence suggests otherwise. Time magazine ran a piece titled, What if ultra-processed foods aren't as bad as you think?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
So just to the casual observer, it kind of seems just as this issue has grown recently that some of these big media entities are actively taking the side of big food. So what's going on there? Are they just being contrary to anything they perceive to be a Trump-aligned cause, or do they have a financial stake in the food industry?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
So what are some very low-hanging fruit items that are actionable in terms of regulations that could be easily rolled out that would have a high impact? Like what would you say are your top five things that you'd like to see happen?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
that will force the food companies to remove artificial food dyes. Right. So do you believe RFK is the guy who can make this happen? Obviously, that's just one of these health departments. We also have Marty McCary coming in with the FDA. Do you think this is the team that can get it done?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
All right, well, Vani, thank you so much for coming on. Thank you for having me. That was Vani Hari, bestselling author, activist, and the creator of the Food Babe blog. And this has been a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
In this episode, we speak with Vani Hari, longtime food activist and New York Times bestselling author, who was in the room supporting Kennedy during his Senate hearings. She'll explain why she believes parents are finally winning the battle to get chemicals out of kids' food. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley.
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
It's Sunday, February 2nd, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire. Joining us to discuss the war over chemical-laced packaged food is Vani Hari, best-selling author, activist, and creator of the Food Babe blog. Vani, thanks so much for coming on. Thank you so much for having me. So first off, tell me a little bit about your path to food activism.
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
How did you become interested in nutrition to begin with?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
So that brings me to my next question. On your website, you currently have a petition going about Kellogg's. What are you pursuing there?
Morning Wire
Food Babe’s MAHA Mission | 2.2.25
So what is their motivation to continue with this? Is it that they make it hyperpalatable because they think they would just lose a lot of market share if they made the foods less exciting to taste or look at?

Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
In this episode, we speak with Jennifer Say, the founder of XXXY Athletics, about the impact of Wednesday's monumental executive order and where the movement goes from here. I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Saturday, February 8th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire. Joining us now is founder of XXXY Athletics, Jennifer Say.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
You know, our listeners, they might remember our interview with you over the summer after you launched your new brand. And we've been watching it with interest. This is something that aligns with the Daily Wire's focus on the transgender agenda. Our parent company's launch of Jeremy's Razors back in 2022 and then Lady Ballers the next year was really a part of that focus.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
The public messaging part of this is very interesting and is very relevant given that we're coming up on the Super Bowl. Many people watch the Super Bowl more for the ads than the actual games these days. But regarding the messaging potential with brands like yours and Jeremy's Razors, what have you seen in terms of response to your messaging in the public sphere?
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
Yeah, for sure. One of the things that's striking about both of those commercials, who's the real victim is the question that the left has their answer for. And I think a growing majority of people say, no, no, the true victims are the girls. The true victims are the women.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
And you guys do a great job of highlighting all the blood, sweat and tears put into this to athletics only to be undermined by a male in their competition.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
Jennifer, first of all, thank you so much for joining us again.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
So look, you were at Trump's signing of the executive order. It's called Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports. You were there because your team has really shaken things up on this issue. You've also gotten a lot of attention this week in particular. You released a short film. You've had some commercials that have really gone viral, including one specifically calling out Nike.
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
Well, as you guys rightly point out, too, look, Nike, these are just giants in the industry, have controlled the messaging. They've done the most shaping of the culture of anybody, right?
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
And you specifically called them out. Do you see any indication that they might relent on this? They might reverse on this issue?
Morning Wire
Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports | 2.8.25
Well, an absolutely critical issue here that your team and ours here at The Daily Wire has been very focused on highlighting. And now we're seeing some real change here. Jennifer, thank you so much for talking with us.

The Rise, Impact, and Potenial Decline of Woke Ideology | 12.28.24
What is today called woke ideology is a complex and polarizing topic with origins tracing back decades. After expanding during the political correctness of the 80s and 90s, it's culminated in cancel culture and various protest movements that have swept across the U.S.

Trade Wars & Tax Cuts: Is Your Savings Safe? | Saturday Extra
Now, the legacy media, though, has been kind of pounding this message that this is because the tariffs are bad and that it's only going to get worse. That's obviously the opposite of what we're hearing from Trump and his treasury secretary. What are your thoughts on Trump's use of tariffs and how do you expect them to impact, one, the stock market and two, consumers?
Morning Wire
Trade Wars & Tax Cuts: Is Your Savings Safe? | Saturday Extra
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Saturday, March 22nd, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire. Joining us to discuss what we can expect for the economy is CEO of Strategic Wealth Partners, Mark Tepper. Mark, thanks so much for coming on.
Morning Wire
Trade Wars & Tax Cuts: Is Your Savings Safe? | Saturday Extra
Now, how likely is it that Trump could pass something like no federal income tax under $150,000? Is that a pipe dream or is that something he could actually get votes for?
Morning Wire
Trade Wars & Tax Cuts: Is Your Savings Safe? | Saturday Extra
Fears of Trump's trade wars and tariffs have sparked stock market volatility and raised concerns over the future of the U.S. economy. We speak to a Wall Street veteran about why he says Americans should not be worried about the economy. He believes Trump's pro-growth policies, like tax cuts and deregulation, could ultimately benefit the economy and the American taxpayer.
Morning Wire
Trade Wars & Tax Cuts: Is Your Savings Safe? | Saturday Extra

Reshaping the Deep State: Trump’s Buyouts & Reforms | 2.22.25

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the LA Times, made headlines this fall for making big and potentially risky changes at his paper in an effort to root out bias. In this episode of Morning Wire, we speak to Dr. Soon-Shiong about his intentions for the paper and why he's willing to go to bat for Trump's incoming cabinet picks, RFK Jr. and Dr. Marty McCary.

Morning Wire
The Gay Affair: Exposing Harvard's Integrity Crisis | 2.1.25
Now, in your new book, The Gay Affair, you recount your own experience as a victim of alleged plagiarism by Claudine Gay, Harvard's first black president. First, how did this experience shape your perspective on the systemic failures you critique in the book?
Morning Wire
The Gay Affair: Exposing Harvard's Integrity Crisis | 2.1.25
Yeah, you described plagiarism as a disease in higher education. Now we have the rise of generative AI that can just write papers for you. Where do you see this going in the coming years?
Morning Wire
The Gay Affair: Exposing Harvard's Integrity Crisis | 2.1.25
Beyond the specifics of the case that involves you and some of these other high-profile plagiarism cases, you also highlight broader implications for academia worldwide. What do you see as the most urgent steps institutions must take to safeguard academic integrity?
Morning Wire
The Gay Affair: Exposing Harvard's Integrity Crisis | 2.1.25
Final question. I fear I know the answer to this already. Have you gotten any apologies at all from anyone involved?
Morning Wire
The Gay Affair: Exposing Harvard's Integrity Crisis | 2.1.25

Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
And so people look at it from an economic perspective. And a foreign national accused of being involved in a mass casualty event is arrested in Colony Ridge.
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
Well, now all of this comes as Republicans are expressing concern over the 2020 census and some things that have since come out. What's going on there?
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24

Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
Well, this seems like it should be a day one priority for President Trump. Cabot, thanks for reporting. Any time. A Guatemalan national and illegal alien smuggler was recently caught by federal law enforcement and arrested at Colony Ridge, the controversial land development just north of Houston, Texas, that is known for attracting illegal aliens.
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
The man is believed to have been involved in a mass casualty event that happened three years ago during a smuggling operation.
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
Ventura is believed to be connected to a smuggling operation that left more than 50 migrants dead in Mexico three years ago. It was horrific. The DOJ described it as a mass casualty event, and about 160 migrants were being transported through Mexico on their way to the border of the United States when the trailer truck that they were traveling in crashed.
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24

She also detailed the mass casualty event that Ventura is believed to be connected to, which occurred on December 9th, 2021.
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
An unsealed indictment from the DOJ states that Ventura and several other Guatemalan men who were arrested in their home country was charged with, quote, conspiracy to bring undocumented aliens to the United States, placing life in jeopardy, causing serious bodily injuries, and resulting in death. So this man is a Guatemalan national. What is his connection to Colony Rich?
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
So we reported in September of last year that Colony Ridge is a magnet for illegal aliens. And it's this massive development just outside of Houston. And if it's allowed to continue, the development projects it'll ultimately have a population of 250,000 people. That would be a population higher than Boise, Idaho or Scottsdale, Arizona for reference.
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
And Ventura was arrested by those federal agents in Colony Ridge at his residence. The smugglers owned multiple properties at the development and bought one as recently as September of this year. And data from the county clerk indicates that he first bought property at Colony Ridge in 2019 and had a total of four properties at the development.
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
Yeah, that's right. Over the summer, there were two illegal aliens who were wanted by the international police for murder, and they were caught in the nearby area. And both of those people lived in Colony Ridge. One of those two illegal aliens, a Mexican national named Juan Jose Valero Cruz, had already been deported from the United States twice.
Morning Wire
Trump’s Georgia Case Win & Colony Ridge Smuggling Arrest | 12.20.24
And just before the arrest of those two alleged murderers, there was another incident in which a teen was allegedly abducted inside Colony Ridge and then was shot at when he fled his captors.
