California has been decimated by the same Democrat Party policies for 16 years, and GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton says the fix is to TRY SOMETHING NEW!

He believes that the truth is far simpler than the political class wants you to believe: stop punishing the people who work, build, and take risks. If you live in California, care about the state’s future, or want to understand why so many people are leaving paradise, this conversation will hit a nerve fast.

Tiffany Marie Brannon sits down with Steve Hilton as his run for California governor has less than a month to go for a blunt, high-energy conversation about the collapse of common sense in California and why he believes the state can be saved.

Hilton, who began life in a working-class immigrant family in England describes how he has had an incredible journey that spans from studying at Oxford to working at No. 10 Downing Street, in business and media all over the world, and, eventually led him on a path to American citizenship. He explains why he still sees California as the ultimate expression of freedom, ambition, and the rebel spirit - and why bureaucracy is crushing that spirit.

You’ll hear Hilton break down:

• Why California’s one-party rule has produced corruption, stagnation, and runaway costs
• How his campaign is using a “try it” message to break through partisan fatigue
• The real price of housing in California, including the estimated $200,000 in fees, taxes, and regulations baked into a new home
• Why small businesses are being squeezed by street vendors, permits, and government rules that reward the wrong behavior
• How state policies, homelessness, crime, and failed leadership are driving families and businesses out

Tiffany comes with the perspective of someone who lived in California for years and watched the state deteriorate firsthand, while Hilton brings the policy agenda, political experience, and outsider energy to explain what he thinks needs to change right now. The result is a sharp, candid look at housing, taxes, immigration, government overreach, and the emotional case for voting differently in the 2026 Midterm Elections.

If you’ve been frustrated watching California spiral, or you want a hopeful alternative to the usual political doom loop, this episode is essential listening. Hilton makes the case that California is not a lost cause - it just needs a governor willing to get out of the way and let people thrive - and he’s the man for the job.

China did not just become powerful by accident - it was enabled by one of the biggest policy failures in modern history.

Tiffany Marie Brannon and independent researcher Edouard Prisse break down how Clinton-era free trade, Western denial, and decades of cheap imports hollowed out industry, transferred know-how, and left the U.S. and Europe dangerously dependent.

Prisse, author of Sleeping with the Enemy: What the White House Still Misses on China, explains why so many leaders got China wrong, why the usual free-trade arguments collapse under real economic scrutiny, and how the West helped create the very machine now squeezing its own manufacturers, workers, and consumers. Tiffany brings a deeply personal perspective from a family in plastics injection molding, where the damage was not abstract - it reshaped livelihoods, expertise, and generational legacy.You’ll discover:

• Why Clinton’s China trade promises were, in Prisse’s words, economically backwards from the start
• How Western elites, economists, and trade institutions failed to stop the drift
• Why tariffs alone are not enough without a deliberate plan to rebuild domestic industry
• How a step-by-step reindustrialization strategy could close the gap in as little as four years
• Why cheap goods can mask a much larger cost to sovereignty, supply chains, and national strength

Prisse also outlines the blunt reality behind China’s export model, why certain industries are already lost unless they are intentionally brought back, and what a serious government response would actually look like. It is a conversation about economics, but also about memory, power, and whether Western countries still have the courage to reverse course.If you care about manufacturing, trade, geopolitics, or the future of the West, this episode is essential listening.
