Former Fox News host and political strategist Steve Hilton joins The Winston Marshall Show to expose the catastrophic failure of California’s ruling class—and why he’s now running for governor.

Hilton sounds the alarm on the state's sky-high poverty, homelessness, housing costs, and mass exodus. He blames decades of far-left policies, Soros-style “compassionism,” and a corrupt "homeless industrial complex" for gutting California’s promise.

We dive deep into the collapse of public education, the climate extremism destroying the economy, the war on affordable housing, and the madness of shutting down nuclear plants while importing dirty oil on carbon-belching supertankers.

All this...elitism, green Jim Crow, Newsom’s failures, and a battle to rescue the American Dream before it’s too late… #california #democrats #gavinnewsom

Political scientist Yascha Mounk joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sharp, wide-ranging discussion on the evolution of populism, the crisis of democracy, and the future of America's political coalitions.

Mounk draws a clear line between populism and fascism, warning that even democratically elected movements can veer into dangerous territory—citing Venezuela and Turkey as cautionary tales.

He critiques the failures of modern media, the persistence of woke ideology post-Trump, and the inefficiencies of U.S. foreign aid programs like USAID.

The conversation turns to 2024: Kamala Harris’s faltering coalition, the Republican Party’s pivot toward a multi-racial working-class base, and the growing tension between big donors and Main Street voters.

All this—populism’s promise and peril, woke culture’s staying power, the death of old political norms, and the battle for America’s soul...
