Steve Hilton

People feel angry and let down by their leaders, as well as by the institutions that dominate their political parties, government bureaucracy, and corporations. Yet the cause of this malaise, according to political -- advisor -- turned -- tech -- CEO Steve Hilton, is not being addressed by politicians on the left or the right.Hilton argues that much of our daily experience -- from the food we eat, to the governments we elect, to the economy on which our wealth depends, to the way we care for our health and well -- being -- has become too big, too bureaucratic, and too distant from the human scale.More Human sets out a radical manifesto for change, aimed at the root causes of our problems rather than just the symptoms. Whether it's using the latest advances in neuroscience to inform the fight against poverty and inequality, or applying lessons from America's most radical schools to transform our children's education, this book is an agenda for rethinking and redesigning the outdated systems and structures of our politics, government, economy, and society to make them more suited to the way we want to live our lives today. To make them more human .

Fox News contributor Steve Hilton says California’s politicians have a plan to make your town more like San Francisco.From exorbitant living costs and failing public schools, to rampant crime and a staggering homelessness epidemic, California’s once-enviable quality of life has unraveled into chaos and neglect. In Califailure, Fox News personality and California resident Steve Hilton presents a compelling and eye-opening exploration of California's dramatic decline from a once-thriving, aspirational state to a cautionary tale of failed governance and unchecked political power.For over a century, California was the epitome of opportunity and prosperity, attracting millions with its promise of good jobs, affordable homes, top-tier education, breathtaking landscapes, and idyllic weather. However, a seismic shift has occurred, and the Golden State is no longer a beacon of hope. Hilton fearlessly exposes how California's political elite have prioritized divisive identity politics over effective governance, squandering taxpayer resources on fringe agendas while essential services crumble. As a result, California serves as a dire warning to the rest of the nation, as the state's regressive policies and mismanagement have far-reaching implications beyond its borders. Califailure is what you get when Democrats get everything they want, he argues.With incisive analysis and unflinching critique, Califailure unveils the consequences of one-party rule and the unchecked pursuit of extreme leftist policies. Hilton's powerful narrative underscores how California's descent is a cautionary tale that demands attention and action from all Americans, as the trends originating in California invariably reverberate across the entire nation.

The elites still can't believe Donald Trump won or that Britain voted for Brexit. But what's next for the populist revolution and for the people who believe in it? Fox News host and former government insider Steve Hilton shows how populism can be a positive force for improving lives, with revolutionary ideas to restore the economic security that working Americans once took for granted, and rebuild the ties of family, community and nation that have been ripped apart by decades of policies that favored big government, big business, and the powerful.Recounting his own journey from immigrant roots to the heart of power - and his deeply personal battles with the permanent bureaucracy once there - Hilton vividly describes the scale of change that's needed if the true promise of the populist revolution is to be delivered, - An unprecedented assault on centralized government and the administrative state to make sure "Drain The Swamp" is not just a slogan - A completely fresh approach to jobs, schools and skills so every working American can live on what they earn - Practical steps to reverse the disaster of family breakdown so that every child can be raised in a stable, loving home - Ideas to revitalize our communities by giving citizens real controlWhether by challenging the excess power of corporations in our economy or the corrupt influence of donors and lobbyists in our government, the ideas in this book echo the intent of America's founders by taking power from the ruling class and putting it in the hands of the people.For too long, populism has been defined by those who despise it. By focusing on what populism is for, and not just what it's against, Hilton provides a coherent philosophy and practical blueprint for how the movement can have an impact beyond one election cycle, and in people's everyday lives. That's Positive Populism.

If you want to stop an eight year old boy from smoking - who is he most likely to listen to? parents? teachers? the government? or Nike? If that same boy’s parents are buying him a Christmas gift, which will they chose? Sports shoes from the company that only promotes its brand? Or shoes from the company that also uses its brand to promote anti-smoking? In Good Business, the authors argue that in the 21st century, the successful companies will be those that use their power and influence to work for social progress. And they’ll do it because making the world a better place will also be the best way to make money.

Three of the most courageous soldiers in American military history are profiled.Gary Gordon was a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army while his brother-in-arms, Randy Shughart, was a Sergeant First class.Both men were non-commissioned officers in the United States Army's elite special operations unit, the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta which is more commonly known as “Delta Force.”After witnessing one of the Black Hawk helicopters shot down by Somali rebels, both soldiers volunteered to insert themselves on the ground to rescue any remaining survivors. Facing a growing angry mob armed with gunfire, Gordon and Shughart valiantly battled to save their fellow soldiers.Both men were awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for their actions during the Battle of Mogadishu in October of 1993. Their acts of courage were later made into a movie called “Black Hawk Down.”David Dolby joined the Army from Philadelphia at age 18 and served in the Vietnam War as a specialist four with Company B, 1st Battalion (Airborne), 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). His platoon would come under heavy fire which killed six soldiers and wounded a number of others, including the platoon leader. Dolby then led his platoon in its defense, organized the extraction of the wounded, and directed artillery fire despite close-range attacks from enemy snipers and automatic weapons. He single-handedly attacked the hostile positions and silenced three machine guns, allowing a friendly force to execute a flank attack. He would later be awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.
