Fighting for California

Mark Simone takes calls from across the country while covering California politics, media culture, and conservative momentum ahead of the next election cycle. The hour opens with Steve Hilton discussing his campaign for governor of California, arguing that one-party Democratic rule has led to rising costs, crime, homelessness, and economic frustration throughout the state. Hilton outlines his platform centered around affordability, lower taxes, energy costs, and government accountability while warning that California is approaching a tipping point. The show also covers the Los Angeles mayoral race, frustrations with progressive leadership, media bias, and voter concerns over election integrity. Listeners hear discussions about Marco Rubio, Trump’s foreign policy approach, Cuba’s instability, late-night television’s political shift, and reactions to President Trump’s growing influence in Florida and beyond. Throughout the hour, Mark mixes political commentary with listener calls, humor, and sharp observations about culture, media, and the changing political landscape across America.
