Sean Hannity challenges Gavin Newsom’s claim that California is a global model for wildfire management and points to the continuing difficulties faced by residents rebuilding after the Pacific Palisades fires. Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton joins the program to discuss California’s high cost of living, homelessness, unemployment and the departure of businesses and wealthy residents. Hilton outlines a campaign focused on lowering gasoline and utility costs, expanding homeownership and appealing to working-class voters beyond the traditional Republican base. Hannity argues that the upcoming election may represent California’s last opportunity to reverse its current direction. Callers also discuss Hannity’s decision to stop skiing, security for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, frozen Iranian assets and the use of electronic signatures during the Biden administration.
