California or Canada: What's Worse?

Thu, 13 Mar 2025

Description

Gavin Newsom is betting his track record running California can carry him to the presidency. Steve Hilton shows up to explain why that is the wildest fantasy imaginable.

30.883 - 44.438 Donald Trump

Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

44.478 - 66.277 Charlie Kirk

We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here.

We were the first guest on Governor Gavin Newsom's podcast, which has now opened an entire national political conversation about California. Should people go on Gavin Newsom's podcast?

93.009 - 107.592 Charlie Kirk

My conversation went very viral, and I think it was a good use of time. Joining us now is the expert on California, Steve Hilton, reversing the ruin of America's worst-run state. Steve joins us now. Steve, welcome to the program.

108.223 - 128.966 Steve Bannon

Man, it is so great to be with you. I enjoyed that so much. I think it was an absolute triumph, I got to tell you. Can I just tell you, I want to set this up the right way. Please. When I watched the whole thing, what came to my mind was this performance by Margaret Thatcher

Chapter 2: Why is California considered poorly managed?

1807.196 - 1832.479 Charlie Kirk

and boom you're just thinking like wait a second i remember that well that's why refi that's where they come in they are not a debt settlement company but they help you work with each borrower you individually why refi does not care what your credit score is it may not be available in all states and bad credit is accepted do you have a co-borrower why refi can get them released from the loan you can give mom or dad a break you can even skip a payment every six months up to 12 months without penalty you don't have to ignore

Go to 888-YREFI34 or log on to YREFI.com. That is Y-R-E-F-Y.com. YREFI.com may not be available in all 50 states. YREFI refinances distrust and defaulted private student loans, which are different from federal loans. Go to YREFI.com. Y-R-E-F-Y.com. That is YREFI.com. Okay, Ezra, so here, I agree with all that. Look, I got a lot of problems with the Canadian government, whatever.

1862.71 - 1885.018 Charlie Kirk

I think that if we could negotiate some of the electricity stuff, get rid of some of the tariffs on American goods, love the oil deal, I think we should have all of our energy going after the Mexican drug cartels and the Chinese Communist Party. Would you say this is now resurrecting an otherwise unpopular Liberal Party?

1885.965 - 1899.778 Ezra Klein

Unfortunately, and here's why. Let's say someone's happily married. Let's say there's a happily married woman and a man comes up to her and says, hey, divorce him and marry me. Well, that's shocking. That's sort of an indecent proposal, as the old movie with Woody Harrelson put it.

1901.379 - 1923.336 Ezra Klein

And so a lot of Canadians are saying, whoa, when you're saying join America, that's sort of asking me to break up my family. By the way, some other people who maybe were thinking of getting a divorce would say, yeah, I'd love to join the U.S. as a 51st state. My point is it started that whole serious debate in Canada over what I think was basically internet prickles.

1923.556 - 1945.153 Ezra Klein

Trump is a master at that bombastic style. That's the Manhattan style. Canadians are a little bit more passive, maybe a little more thin-skinned, so I think that distracted like a million Canadians. And a million Canadians sort of took it personally. And I loved it because it was yanking Trudeau's chain. But Charlie, I'm going to agree with you.

1945.193 - 1971.05 Ezra Klein

That probably cost the conservative leader of Canada 5% in the polls. And believe me, all of us want that conservative leader. His name is Pierre Polyev. He's great. He would be a great international partner, a bilateral partner for America. I think that Trump knew how to needle Trudeau, but it sort of had that unintended consequence, you know?

1971.73 - 1978.829 Charlie Kirk

Is this, let's just say you go to a bar in Alberta. Is this the number one thing folks are talking about right now?

1979.61 - 1983.694 Ezra Klein

Well, the thing is, Alberta is the most pro-America place in Canada.
