Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast.

We have one of my favorite people with us today.

He is a Republican candidate for governor of California, Steve Hilton, and he is no relation

to the Hilton hotels that is kicking ice agents out.

Just want to say that up front.

I'm very happy to confirm. I have no connection. Actually, the weird thing is I do. The first time you've been happy to say, I don't have Hilton money. Exactly. I always, I always joke, you know, because people ask me that. And I say, well, look, do you think I'll be, you know, flogging myself on the road for raising money for this campaign to save California if I had that kind of money. You're right.

But by the way, there money for this campaign to save California if I had that kind of money.

You're right.

But by the way, there is a funny angle to that because years ago when I was with Fox and basically

every few months I would go to New York to, you know, do the shows that you have to do from

there, like you've done many times outnumbered and those kinds of things and see the, you know, my friends and colleagues at Fox in New York. And I would always

stay at the Hilton Midtown, which is pretty close to the Fox Studios. And so as a result of that,

I basically, you know, signed up for their loyalty scheme, which I'm now in, which means that when we're on the road in California all the time, that's where we stay because it's all easy. You book it through that. I don't stay. I usually set the Hampton Inn, which is part of the whole Hilton group. So I don't know, we have to reevaluate based on this outrageous story. But you're not the only one saying that. That's the interesting thing. There's been, I'm, I'm kind of like watching the storm on Twitter right now as people, X, whatever we call it, as people are like, Hilton, can you confirm these emails are real? So they, so DHS actually posted these emails that came out that went to ICE agents who had booked hotels. And they said,

we've found out that you are with ICE and we don't house ICE agents in our hotels. So we've

canceled. And sometimes they were showing up for the hotel for that night. And they were telling

you don't have a reservation anymore. We canceled your reservation. It's really disgusting. I mean, they really do need to pay a price.

In what world do you think that email is not going to go? And you have to say, I mean, so maybe this is

not Hilton, maybe this is not a Hilton policy because there are rogue people that do things like this.

So I will just say, I want to clarify.

We don't know exactly if this is just like a certain group.
