00:18:37.440Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off now.
00:18:43.840We are joined by Steve Hilton, top two finisher so far in that governor's race,
00:19:59.980you've still got certain counties in california that have barely reported half the vote uh a week
00:20:06.560on it's a week since election day it's just insane i just want to give you one indication
00:20:11.500of how insane it is um because even if you give them everything that they're saying about why we
00:20:17.380have this ridiculous system where they want oh every vote you know everyone to have the chance
00:20:22.000to vote every possible way and maximum accessibility whatever okay fine give them that
00:20:27.140So the concept is this. If you vote by mail, we want to make sure that everybody's vote is counted, and we want to treat you the same as if you voted in person.
00:20:37.160So let's just say you want to vote by mail, and you leave it right up until election day, and then you send your ballot in on election day in the mail, just as if you showed up and voted in person.
00:20:47.960Then we've got to give you time for the ballot to arrive because it's the U.S. Postal Service, and who knows how long it'll take, so they give you seven days.
00:20:54.920OK, fine. You would assume from that that in order that your vote is counted in that seven day period, which is just coming to an end today, they kind of check that you really did send your mail ballot in on or before Election Day.
00:21:09.020And, of course, we have a very simple way of doing that, which is look at the postmark on the envelope.
00:21:16.080Unbelievably, there is a rule that says that if there is no postmark or if the postmark is illegible or whatever or just no postmark at all, it's OK if you handwrite the date and it can be accepted.
00:21:32.800In other words, they have legalized backdating your ballot.
00:21:36.520You could have voted yesterday and put a written election day on it in hand, and that would count.
00:22:09.500I need the state of California desperately needs you.
00:22:14.140I'm sure that you have heard a ton about this.
00:22:16.720This is something we took calls on all day yesterday.
00:22:19.320We have been talking about it a great deal.
00:22:21.320The situation in L.A. and the fact that the mail ballots are drastically different than the early voting tallies that have come in.
00:22:30.340uh for many people it is just a sign that they can't trust the uh the uh the counting in uh in
00:22:38.440california in general but la specifically what do you see there what can someone do who is in
00:22:45.140california that is frustrated by this what should happen going forward uh based on what you're
00:22:51.500seeing on the ground there yeah so we were literally at that counting center just now just
00:22:56.180driving away from it and the press conference that I just held along with my running mate for
00:23:01.700Lieutenant Governor Gloria Romero and the chair of the California Republican Party was to say
00:23:06.920I mean there's so many things we need to change with this system but there's one really big one
00:23:11.460that we can actually make happen very quickly because it's on the ballot in November and that
00:23:17.120is voter ID. Voter ID is on the ballot this November we can actually have it in California
00:23:22.780That would avoid so much of this, because one of the reasons it's all taking so long is because they have to do signature matching and verification by hand.
00:23:32.760They're all sitting around in these offices, peering at signatures.
00:23:37.160But if you had voter ID, you wouldn't need any of that.
00:23:39.400So that's something we can get done this year.
00:23:41.800Now, in terms of L.A., I want to be really – this is what I think is happening.
00:23:46.120And it's a complete example of the corruption in California.
00:23:51.260I think what's going on there is ballot harvesting, where you've got the, again, this is totally legal, where any individual organization can just go around scooping up ballots, many as they want, there's no limit to the number, and just collecting them on people's behalf and dropping them off or putting them in the mail or whatever.
00:24:12.140and this is where the corrupt democrat machine comes in and actually connects to something that
00:24:20.120we've been exposing during the course of this year through cal doge so remember i mean we probably
00:24:24.680talked about some of these examples from river fraud reports this is when all this comes into
00:24:29.620play because i'll give you a couple of examples um the cannabis tax in california uh when cannabis
00:24:36.220was legalized proposition 64 a tax was imposed that was supposed to go towards substance abuse
00:24:42.020prevention we tracked down that money we found 350 million dollars was actually siphoned off
00:24:48.080into democrat political organizing all these hundreds of different groups doing voter
00:24:53.480registration ballot harvesting all of this second example from the climate change mitigation fund
00:25:00.340one billion dollars with a b since 2015 100 million every year supposedly spent on solar
00:25:06.740panels for low-income apartment buildings we found that only 72 million was spent on that
00:25:11.720928 million went on democrat political organizing environmental justice groups voter registration
00:25:18.980ballot harvesting third example churla this is this is our fourth fraud report churla
00:25:25.000was the immigrants rights group far left group that was really involved in about a year ago the
00:25:30.900riots in la against ice they are supporting my opponent javier becerra they have an office in
00:25:38.360mexico which literally promotes illegal immigration and explains people how to do it this is an
00:25:44.080organization that is 85 funded by california taxpayers basically an arm of the government
00:25:50.040it is we exposed its political organizing manual it takes taxpayer money because it's mostly
00:25:57.960taxpayer funded and pays illegal immigrants to do ballot harvesting but this is what's going on
00:26:04.780Now, you're seeing this machine in action.0.90
00:26:07.560All this money that's been siphoned off into these nonprofits, this is what they do.
00:26:12.640And this is the moment when they come into play.
00:26:14.580They just go around, and we hear reports unions doing it in nursing homes and all the rest of it,
00:26:19.940just collecting ballots, in quote marks, helping people fill out their ballots and then turning them in.
00:26:27.440And I think that's what happened in L.A.
00:26:33.260You said on the ballot, 80% of people are in favor of basic ID being shown in order to vote.
00:26:41.440What is the ballot initiative that is there in California?
00:26:44.700And for people out there who are skeptical, some of these ballot initiatives, for instance, having to do with affirmative action, even in California, which is a blue state, have absolutely trounced, right?
00:29:42.420And we'll be doing two things, which is laying out a sense of positive, practical plan for cutting your costs, helping your business, fixing our schools, just common sense things that everyone can get behind.
00:29:56.920For example, my tax plan, your first hundred grand tax free.
00:30:01.640That's been very popular on the campaign trail.
00:30:04.340And it's the quickest way, you know, we have the highest cost of living in the country, thanks to Democrat policies, all the different components of that.
00:30:11.060We are well known, the highest gas prices, highest housing costs, and so on.
00:30:14.860But the simplest and quickest way we can get more money in people's pockets is to take less out.
00:30:20.760So that's the starting point, which is to cut your taxes, especially for working people.
00:30:26.180We're going to be offering an update to that plan.
00:30:28.780We've been doing the math to expand that, and that'll be my first announcement next week.
00:30:33.360And so what you'll see is the same kind of campaigning I've been doing now, high energy, up and down the state, focused on positive practical changes, you know, your taxes, vehicle registration, the small business registration fee, all these different things that we can do that will cut the taxes, the bloat in the government and bring us back to sanity.
00:30:54.260The word you use there is exactly right. I just think of this as not, you know, this campaign for the next 16 weeks is going to be not about Republican or Democrat.
00:31:02.680It's are you on team sanity or not? Join team sanity. That's the basic message.
00:31:08.180There's so much going on here that is just insane. Importing oil halfway around the world, shoving up our gas prices when we have abundant oil reserves here in California.
00:31:17.380It doesn't make sense. There's so many things like that.
00:31:20.700And at the same time, we'll be prosecuting very strongly the case against Javier Becerra,
00:31:26.260because he is exactly the kind of thing, I mean, he's more of the same but worse.
00:31:31.000He's 36 years of career politician. That's his whole life.
00:31:37.000He was asked the other day, you'll be seeing an ad on this coming out very shortly,
00:31:41.860on an interview, what he would change about what's happened that's brought us to these terrible results in California.
00:31:47.380policy wise he gave basically the kamala harris answer in that notorious interview on the view
00:31:52.240in the general election campaign he said i couldn't think of anything he's more of the same
00:31:56.560but worse um and that is going to be very much part of it i mean the list of things that disqualify
00:32:03.520from being governor is a very long list even the biden administration officials that he worked with
00:32:10.720the biden cabinet officials think that he was useless i mean how incompetent do you have to be
00:32:16.220if biden's cabinet thinks you're too incompetent for them and it's just it's a very long list
00:32:22.160and so that's going to be the combination you cannot have this guy it's more of the same cost
00:32:26.800incompetence and corruption but here's a positive practical plan for change so i'm looking i'm
00:32:31.980excited about it this is what it's all been about um and i know people look at california and say
00:32:36.520oh no chance very heavily democrat state whatever but you know we've reached a point where people
00:32:41.360are really ready for change and i think we're going to pull it off steve hilton everybody
00:32:46.160steve what's your website for the campaign steve hilton for governor.com for guys let's

00:34:09.880Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck.
00:34:12.960And we've got so much happening here, so much to talk to you all about.
00:34:22.700And, you see, Clay, I think that was really important because notice he was speaking,
00:34:28.760because obviously as somebody in the governor's race and a top two contender,
00:34:33.100which means he has a very serious shot of becoming the governor of California,
00:34:35.920he really knows what he's talking about in an era of a lot of stuff flying around you know clay
00:34:41.940apparently the thing about all the votes went for one candidate in the ballot uh you know in one of
00:34:49.140the ballot dumps was not accurate and and even people who are on the right on republicans there
00:34:55.380said no no that's not actually true but that was caught on like wild wildfire online my point is
00:35:00.960Because when you're talking about election integrity stuff, you've got to have the facts straight, because the moment that the narrative becomes, hey, you're cheating because of X or Y, and it turns out X or Y are legitimate and fine, Z, which is the real reason, gets discounted as part of the whole thing.
00:35:21.800you see what i mean this is why we gotta stay um gotta stay on the specifics on the reality on
00:35:29.320the fact gotta stay where the facts are really and steve hilton was doing that you'll notice he
00:35:32.860was walking through those things he was saying those are huge issues the fact that there's a
00:35:37.760giant ngo industrial complex paying illegals to collect ballots on behalf of democrats and that
00:35:44.500that's legal under california law is crazy yes but that's happening that's happening when you
00:35:51.320have to understand is that in a place like california a lot of public money state money
00:35:55.940taxpayer dollars goes to filters its way to these ngos so you have ngos getting taxpayer dollars
00:36:02.660that are then turned around to use illegals as the labor force to elect democrats who want more0.87
00:36:09.480illegals to come into the country this is the self-licking ice cream cone this is the problem
00:36:15.460that we're talking about so i just i caution you to just scream fraud fraud fraud and then1.00
00:36:22.060start attaching to it things that aren't necessarily accurate or that there's a because
00:36:27.360that is the favorite thing that democrats can have is republicans uh in in this race or in any race
00:36:34.320saying that this is a fraud and they go actually uh we can prove it's not haha and then they don't
00:36:40.600want to hear anything else beyond behind that mike johnson for example here clay is saying
00:36:44.760this is uh he's saying that what's going on in california stinks to high heaven this is 11 play
00:36:48.940it i'm not saying it's rigged i'm saying it stinks to high heaven and everybody knows that
00:36:53.940let's let's let's remove the appearance of impropriety let's have what what what a concept
00:36:59.740let's have votes on an election the day of the election that's what many states are able to do
00:37:04.800i think california is playing around with this but what evidence is there to prove that there
00:37:08.880Some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream, it is impossible to prove.
00:37:14.440But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here, and that's a concern.
00:37:18.220We need people to believe in the integrity of our election system.
00:37:21.860See, I agree with everything Mike Johnson says there, Clay.
00:37:24.420It's about the appearance of integrity.
00:37:26.720It's about the common sense application here of rules and regulations.
00:37:31.040But he's not running with wild conspiracies.
00:37:34.360the appearance of impropriety is a huge part of our legal standards for a long time as it pertains
00:37:42.620to elections and if you think about it it makes total sense it's not only impropriety it's not
00:37:48.140only fraud it's the appearance of impropriety and fraud which delegitimizes the uh elections
00:37:54.140themselves and i thought the other thing that steve hilton said with us buck that was so
00:37:58.820significant was that there is a referendum on the ballot this fall that appears to have 70 percent
00:38:06.240of the support of california voters that would require some form of id for elections to occur
00:38:13.400now unfortunately it would still permit mail balloting which is a huge part of this right i
00:38:19.100mean when you really analyze all elections requiring someone to go in person with an id
00:38:25.600to vote should be the standard upon which all of our elections are based now should there be a
00:38:32.000small minority of the overall population that can get absentee ballots yes but given that we have
00:38:37.080expanded early voting in many states for weeks in advance of election day i i don't even buy into
00:38:44.720the fact that there should be very much mail or absentee if you're a soldier and you're overseas
00:38:49.660and you aren't able to travel for an entire month to vote i think most people would say yes that can
00:38:55.260make sense if you can't get to a public place in your place that is your primary residence
00:39:02.540for an entire month i'm just gonna be honest if from october 1st to november 5 or whatever the
00:39:08.960heck election day is you are not physically present in the state or the jurisdiction in
00:39:14.900which you are voting i gotta be honest with you a big part of me doesn't think that you're spending
00:39:19.700enough time in that jurisdiction to need to vote right for a full month of in-person voting if you
00:39:25.920can't find the time and you aren't physically able to get there i i gotta be honest with you i i don't
00:39:32.080think you're being hamstrung or treated unfairly and every single person out there has had to show
00:39:39.360their id for picking up movie tickets for certainly people say well buying go to a movie or going to
00:39:47.640a concert is not a constitutional right okay buying a gun is is there anybody out there buck you're
00:39:53.780the way more of an expert than than i am is it possible in any way to buy a weapon legally in
00:39:59.920the united states without showing an id uh nope you can't go to an ffl and do it that's for sure
00:40:06.140yeah so i mean you have a second amendment right to possess weapons you have to show an id to be
00:40:11.500able to buy a gun i don't think most people out there would say hey that's totally fine to be
00:40:15.460able to go to uh to buy guns out of the back of people's trunks my point is constitutional rights
00:40:20.740all come with regulations that are designed to make sure that that constitutional right is not
00:40:25.840only protected for you but for everyone else and i think some of these referendums because buck
00:40:30.700they're not particularly connected to democrat or republican they pass and they're actually
00:40:36.620very right of center i mean the affirmative action uh in california has been crushed uh property
00:40:44.340taxes. California has some of the most restrictive property tax laws of any state in the nation
00:40:51.100because property tax got so out of control. Californians said, we're not going to allow
00:40:54.660this. So I think the vast majority of Californians listening to us right now are in favor of ID.
00:41:00.600I think on federal law, I've never done a private sale like this, but I think federal law mandates
00:41:06.000that you cannot sell a firearm to a prohibited person. You have to make sure that they reside
00:41:11.140in the same state as you you can't sell it across state lines and you have to make sure that they
00:41:15.260are of age in that state for the sale so you kind of need to see someone's id to do that but there's
00:41:22.420not a specific id but my if you go to an ffl though for sure because they're gonna run a nix
00:41:26.840jack on you and everything else so just i know the gun people out there i don't want to get lit
00:41:31.600up by you guys i understand my point on when you say hey there should be some restrictions people
00:41:36.500say well voting is a constitutional right and we're not going to restrict in any way constitutional
00:41:41.060rights then you say okay so there should be zero restrictions on all firearms there's enormous and
00:41:46.580endless restrictions on the second amendment which i think the restrictions often veer into
00:41:51.640what is unconstitutional certainly in blue states and we're supposed to accept that for some reason
00:41:56.940there's there's apparently no restrictions uh on voting in the state of california other than
00:42:03.820you got to be like a legal resident but there's no checks and balances to see if you are a legal
00:42:09.180resident to be putting the vote in that you are like they don't they don't want to verify there's
00:42:13.780no verification process there's a lot of verification for gun ownership so it's treated
00:42:20.100quite differently um and and you know you get to the why is it that they're always so opposed to
00:42:27.660voter id well i think we know why because they're opposed everywhere and anywhere and the once you
00:42:36.260start adding into this the ngo industrial complex where they have vote harvesting going on they say
00:42:41.540prove the fraud and i understand this is a valid response clear to what i was saying about be
00:42:45.960specific know what you're talking about with what is illegal or what the fraud is that you're trying
00:42:50.860to cite um one of their rejoinders is well you know prove it and and from our side it's often
00:42:57.000yeah well the whole point is you make the law so that it's impossible to prove
00:43:00.560if you can if you can hand write back date a ballot how could you even theoretically prove
00:43:06.440that that's not you see what i'm saying well what are you gonna do it's kind of like an honor system
00:43:12.280thing and people have no honor a lot of the time when you're talking about these sorts of issues
00:43:17.480so yeah it's a big it's a it's a big mess they like it to be messy i also think what steve was
00:43:23.880talking about is important because it starts to explain how the data is coming out as it is
00:43:29.300um there is right now i believe there was when they looked at the nitya raman la mayor race
00:43:38.360numbers they saw those coming in and they said if you're karen bass's team we're in right nitya
00:43:46.860raman's team started she started crying on election night they said we have to do whatever
00:43:52.400it takes to get as many ballots complete as possible the story of how she went from when
00:43:58.620people went all in person and voted she got whatever it was 21 of the overall vote and then
00:44:04.960she starts to get 40 of the vote when it comes to mail ballots i think that's a hard explanation
00:44:11.320other than the rig job was in effect and they knew that they had to get her above spencer pratt and
00:44:18.560they put out the code red to make it happen and again this is why all votes should i hope the0.74
00:44:24.460Supreme Court is going to solve this buck. All votes should have to be in by election day,
00:44:30.620period. This sounds crazy that you would even have to make this argument. Every single vote
00:44:37.460should have to be in the possession of your jurisdiction on election day by the time the
00:44:46.020ballots officially close. A week later, votes can still arrive in California.
00:44:51.620it how in the world is that remotely constitutional it can't be i hope the supreme court itself is
00:44:59.360going to step in and solve some of this because i think it would make the ballot harvesting and
00:45:05.760the vote chasing post-election day i think it would make it much more difficult to be able to
00:45:10.640pull off defending freedoms establishing democracies two very important notions consistently
00:45:16.000practiced not just in our country but also in israel we may have been at it for a longer duration
00:45:20.920of time but the principles are the same freedoms have endured in israel as they have here in october
00:45:26.520of 1985 president ronald reagan had some profound remarks about america's commitment to stand with
00:45:31.480israel reagan said in our talks we paid special attention to two issues our commitment to israel's
00:45:37.800security and well-being and our shared desire to move forward together toward a just and lasting
00:45:43.320peace between israel and all its arab neighbors a strong secure israel is a shared interest as
00:45:49.840As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, the IFCJ, reflects on the friendship between the U.S. and Israel, two democracies built on faith, liberty, and hope.
