00:04:45.520Yes, everything changed in the 1980s under Ronald Reagan.
00:04:48.880It is the reason why the Rush Limbaugh show could come on.
00:04:52.500Nobody wanted to do political talk back in the day because you had to balance absolutely everything and it was just too much of a headache.
00:05:01.400The other way to balance it is if you combined MSNBC and Fox and every other hour, it was a leftist and then somebody on the right and then a leftist and then a right.
00:05:15.440Generally speaking, local radio just did not engage in any of that stuff.
00:05:20.180Okay. The issues involve an FCC investigation. Now, listen to this. It involves an FCC investigation into whether talk show The View qualifies for an exemption to the agency's equal time political rule.
00:05:37.800that's totally legitimate for the FCC to launch an investigation to see if it fits what is the rule
00:05:47.700the rule is equal time you have to have if you're not a political show if you're not I'm sorry not
00:05:56.060a political show if you're not a news program the law stipulates if you're a broadcast person this
00:06:02.980is not involving anything on cable or on uh the internet but on broadcast radio or television
00:06:09.840you if you are a news show you don't have to have both sides on because it's news it's breaking
00:06:18.020every day it's changing every day we have a hard enough time booking guests for a subject imagine
00:06:23.200having to book a guest that has the opposite view of everything you just are covering it it would
00:06:28.340it would stop news from happening so that's the rule now abc claims that the view is a news show
00:06:38.980i don't watch the view i never have watched the view i have only watched the clips of the view
00:06:46.160because for the love of everything that is good and sacred little baby jesus cannot save my soul
00:06:52.980from darkness if I watched that thing every day okay I just couldn't take it my head would explode
00:06:59.940so I don't know for sure but from the clips that I have seen over the years I would say that's a
00:07:06.600news show is Glenn Beck supporting ABC no I'm supporting the truth as I understand it now I
00:07:16.100could be i could get new facts and change my mind but as i understand it and as i understand uh the
00:07:24.680view which i despise um that's what they do they see what's in the news and they talk about it
00:07:33.040now if i have a skewed view of the view because i only watch the clips and they're spending 60
00:07:40.300of the time talking about i don't know how beautiful whoopi goldberg is you know at the
00:07:46.020latest movie premiere well then that's not a news show but if what they talk about most of the time
00:07:53.060is the news of the day i would consider that a news show and here's why i say that while i am
00:08:00.880not a hard news show i talk about the news every day that's what we do we bring newsmakers on to
00:08:09.820discuss what is happening in the world that's what we do if i'm if the view if i have the balance
00:08:18.380right and i could be wrong that's why the fcc investigation is the right thing to do what is
00:08:24.380the balance you know it's my understanding and like abc could correct me on this but it's my
00:08:30.860understanding that jimmy kimmel is also considered a news program i don't need to have an investigation
00:08:37.120on that. That's not a news program. I did one search. How many politicians has Jimmy Kimmel
00:08:43.280had on his show in the last 60 days? And it was, the answer was one. What is the balance of his
00:08:51.520show? The balance of his guests are Hollywood. Okay. It's an entertainment show, not a news show.
00:08:57.900That one clearly doesn't qualify. If ABC is defining that one as a news show, which would
00:09:05.700then stop him from having to have the other side on, that's wrong. Let me back up and tell you why
00:09:15.460you're supposed to have both sides on. It's not because of news. It is because this was one wise
00:09:23.360decision the government made. Remember, this is only for public airwaves. This is not cable or
00:09:28.580internet. This is only for shows that are on public television, you know, the channels and
00:09:34.940also radio the reason why they knew if if a show let's let's let's say friends was still on
00:09:45.240and friends was really popular and they decided we're in new york city and at the coffee at the
00:09:50.480you know the the central perk it would be cool if mom donnie was always kind of at the central perk
00:09:57.120and so you know every couple of weeks mom donnie would be on and it would be written so he's a very
00:10:02.840funny and likable character they knew that if you were using public airwaves and you were writing
00:10:09.360them into entertainment shows or you were having them in entertainment shows you could sway the
00:10:14.340public's opinion because you could craft that and you could make people like that person and it would
00:10:22.800be unfair to the other candidates because friends would not be making the other candidate into a
00:10:29.640likable person and so they said only news shows get this exemption if you're an entertainment show
00:10:36.520you have to have both sides on which the effect was
00:10:40.860no one had guests politics on because they they didn't want to have to do both sides
00:10:47.500and so it was chilling yes but the the other was to let them take one side they wouldn't be for
00:10:55.020this if conservatives were really good at entertainment shows and we could write characters
00:11:00.440on our side into lovable people and just make them funny and mainstream them that way that's
00:11:06.820what the left does they mainstream people all the time because they're good at writing and
00:11:11.300and producing etc etc that's what that law was for
00:11:15.740the FCC is right to investigate the balance
00:11:42.780If it is 60% or more entertainment, ABC should lose this battle.
00:11:49.700Giving ABC the benefit of the doubt, which I wouldn't accept as an example in this monologue.
00:11:56.520From the clips that I've seen, that looks like a news show.
00:12:00.600But I'd have to see the whole balance of every show.
00:12:03.880And if the balance on balance, it is mainly daily news, ABC would win.
00:12:09.220on balance if it's not abc should lose and that's important because you don't want anybody to be
00:12:17.380swayed one way or another through entertainment that's only right and fair on public airwaves
00:12:23.780but it means less today than it used to this is why they say after decades of of settled law and
00:12:33.980practice they were not for this back in the 1980s they were absolutely the opposite direction in the
00:12:40.1601980s these companies these companies were fighting you you can't you what everybody everybody on the
00:12:47.180left you can't deregulate you can't deregulate what are they saying now deregulate why because
00:12:51.760they're good at it they figured out a way around everything and so they're good at it and the other
00:12:56.860reason the FCC never enforced the law this isn't something new that Donald Trump is making up
00:13:04.600this is most likely and I could be wrong I'd love to have Brendan Carr on most likely this is the
00:13:10.840president calling up and going do we not have laws for this and Brendan Carr saying yes but we haven't
00:13:17.000enforced them in 20 years well enforce them if there is a law on the book enforce it if you don't
00:13:24.020like the law on the books then change the law but if it is on the books and it's never been
00:13:30.000enforced that's not upending anything other than the government was lazy so your argument on the
00:13:38.560government's been lazy is that's a stupid law let's reverse that law let's get rid of that law
00:13:44.760With all of this said, here's my position. I would love to abolish the FCC.
00:13:52.640I don't like the government having a say in anything we see, say, or do, unless it's somebody inciting violence, unless it is something that is treasonous.
00:14:07.560and I don't want an interpretation of what is treasonous the constitution already says what
00:14:14.200that is I don't want somebody's interpretation of of what this speech can do the supreme court
00:14:20.660has already lined that out I think Hassan Piker fits the violent speech thing he is trying to
00:14:30.800incite now that's a really high standard to prove in court i personally think you can do it but
00:14:38.360you'll notice nobody's going after him no one is going after him i'm going to tell you about him
00:14:44.780if i don't have time today i'm going to tell you about him tomorrow um but that's a legitimate
00:14:50.880question not a target a question is this what we allow and here's the problem with both of
00:15:00.600these stories if you're a student of history our uh our founders said over and over again and
00:15:09.540nobody on the left likes to hear this our system of law is wholly inadequate for an immoral or
00:15:17.160irreligious people and everybody's like i don't want it you can't force religion that's not what
00:15:22.680they said that's not what they said they knew this is why they were they were pretty smart guys
00:15:28.980they knew because they studied all of the the failures and successes of governments from the
00:15:36.100beginning of time they studied them and they looked at what worked and what didn't work and
00:15:41.860they found one thing that worked and that is a society that put restraints on themselves
00:15:49.880and the only way that that ever worked was it was a religious people that were answering to
00:15:56.740something higher than government. They were answering something higher than man. They were
00:16:01.460answering to God and they knew God will hold me accountable and he sees everything. So I should be
00:16:08.120responsible for my own life. I need to be a good human being. And they believed that religion was
00:16:14.340the only thing that actually held people in that position. Remember, the experiment of Washington
00:16:20.800was can man rule himself the answer was yes if he answers to god if he doesn't answer to god and
00:16:29.760answers to himself he'll start making all kinds of exceptions for himself and that will force
00:16:34.900government to make all kinds of laws to govern him and then you have an out of control government
00:16:39.860so the answer is rule yourself answer to something i don't care what religion it is i don't care what
00:16:47.680it is as long as it makes you a better human being that wants to serve your fellow man that
00:16:54.260holds you in place of instead of a place of everybody else is doing it so will i no i don't
00:17:00.280do that because it's wrong anytime there is a a set of absolute eternal rights and wrongs hey
00:17:08.42010 commandments can you give me eight of those how about seven how about seven out of the 10
00:17:13.460commandments. Don't covet. Don't kill. Don't have sex with your neighbor's wife. Just give me seven
00:17:19.480of the top 10. If you can do that, we can rule ourselves. If not, we have to have government.
00:17:26.660So really the choice for Americans today is, can you rule yourself? Can you behave yourself?
00:17:33.580Or do you have to have daddy, big brother come and monitor everything you do because you're just
00:17:39.500too irresponsible or you're too stupid or too stubborn and you just want your way because the
00:17:44.540whole world's against you whatever it is can you rule yourself because if the answer to that is
00:17:52.040no i make my own way well then you're going to have to have a big government
00:17:57.540and that never leads to anything good let me tell you about american financing between higher
00:18:04.880grocery prices travel costs insurance just the general cost of living right now a lot of people
00:18:09.980feel like they're doing everything they can just to keep up and for some families credit cards have
00:18:14.600become you know the thing that fills that gap between paychecks and then you notice it's high
00:18:20.400interest debt and it starts building and it feels impossible to get out of okay if you're a homeowner
00:18:25.760you might look into getting some help and maybe you've done it before but you stopped yourself
00:18:30.240because you didn't want to lose that low mortgage rate.
00:48:59.540they don't think there's a they've been taught there's not a difference there is now with all
00:49:03.940of that being said one state you could tear apart and say you have no reason to have any pride is
00:49:07.680california uh what a transition because i i uh i have uh the i've steve hilton on he is running for
00:49:16.940the governor of california sorry we were stalling until he could get on with us um and uh and steve
00:49:22.620is joining me now hi steve how are you oh my god i'm so excited to be with you you don't you have
00:49:28.240no idea you know it's the first time we've spoken i'm you're that you're the legend that i've been
00:49:32.820looking forward to speaking to for so long what an incredible honor here i am leaving that country
00:49:38.040that you were so beautifully describing there although i have to say england's a total disaster
00:49:42.480um i still have the accent just to be just to be clear with you i'm not only a proud american now
00:49:48.860a proud u.s citizen i've officially renounced my uk citizenship because i don't have anything to do
00:49:54.760with what's going on over there but i got it to let sorry to be late but it's a true honor to be
00:49:58.860with you no that's all right well thank you steve so uh you know i'm looking at the poll numbers and
00:50:04.120you're either number one or two in the poll of 61 candidates running for governor what's happening
00:50:11.880what is happening well what's happening is change may be afoot um as you say i've been leading in
00:50:19.380the polls for most of the year actually and um yeah this state is a disaster i mean what's really
00:50:25.060interesting about california if we just take a step back from the the daily atrocities committed
00:50:30.320against the people of california by the democrats who've been in charge if you think about what's
00:50:35.460been going on it's 16 years now in california one party rule they've had all the statewide offices
00:50:40.940governor lieutenant governor attorney general all the elected offices statewide they've had
00:50:44.860super majorities in the legislature, two-thirds majorities in both chambers of the legislature.
00:50:50.080They've controlled all the big cities, all the big counties, the state Supreme Court,
00:50:54.8406-1 Democrat majority. It's a very political Supreme Court. And so California today is what
00:51:01.860you get when Democrats get everything they want, when they have a completely free reign
00:51:07.240to do whatever they want year after year after year without any check or balance.
00:51:11.960And let's look at the results. Just the facts are so damning. We have the highest poverty rate in the country, the highest unemployment rate of all 50 states, the highest cost of living by far, highest gas prices, electric bills, insurance, housing costs, highest housing costs, lowest rate of home ownership.
00:51:30.860Every single thing you look at, more qualitative measures,
00:51:33.600U.S. News and World Report does these annual rankings of states.
00:51:36.920California is ranked 50th out of 50 states for opportunity.
