Ep. 25 | Steve Hilton on Newsom's Empire of Waste

from On Background with Susan Crabtree · host Government Accountability Institute

Steve Hilton is leading the race for governor of California, and he sat down with Susan Crabtree and Eric Eggers to explain why. The numbers tell the story. California ranks 50th out of 50 for opportunity. 50th out of 50 for business climate, ten years in a row. Highest poverty rate, highest unemployment, highest cost of living. Where is the money going? Hilton's Golden Together fraud reports found $928 million of a $1 billion climate fund, money meant to put solar panels on low-income apartment buildings, redirected to Democrat political organizing. A separate nonprofit, Tzedek, gets roughly 80 percent of its revenue from taxpayers and openly hires "paid canvassers of varying immigration status, including undocumented" to elect Xavier Becerra. This is what one-party rule buys you.   Follow on X! @susancrabtree @Eric_Eggers
