On April 3, 2025, the Richard Nixon Foundation’s Distinguished Speaker Series featured Fox News Contributor Steve Hilton. The entrepreneur and political commentator spoke about the major takeaways from his newly released book, Califailure: Reversing the Ruin of America’s Worst-Run State.
Hilton, who was born in the U.K. to Hungarian parents, began his remarks by sharing his excitement about being an American citizen. While explaining the unique process of becoming an American, he stated, “It’s only this country that allows anyone to come here and buy into what all revere and treasure about this country and become as much a part of it as anyone else.” He went on to assess the current state of California, with evidence of decline, while offering positive, practical ideas for policy reform.
