• 0:18Patrick Bet-David?

  You are a one of one?

• 0:19Speaker 01

  My son's right there.

• 0:20Speaker 02

  I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 0:26Patrick Bet-David?

  So, we had the gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton on last week or two weeks ago. And my phone blowing, you and I have been going back and forth. Everybody said, "Pat, you cannot have Hilton on without having Chad Bianco on." I said, "We're in talks, we're in talks." So, we're finally doing it today. So, I'm glad to have you here as well to have the conversation. You have a big fan base, a lot of people that love you and support you. And I thought about it, I said, "Look, I want to start off getting right into it." A hard hitting question, and I don't know how you're going to handle this. You may get upset, but I want you to be okay with it as we're going through it. Do you think, when you think about the history of California with the governors they've had, do you think California is ready?

• 1:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Because it's been a while for a potential Republican governor with a full-blown handlebar mustache. You think California is ready for it?

• 1:15Speaker 03

  They are.

• 1:15Patrick Bet-David?

  You think they are?

• 1:16Speaker 03

  I think that it's exactly what people are looking for.

• 1:18Patrick Bet-David?

  They want that handlebar mustache?

• 1:20Speaker 03

  Yes, and not only the mustache, but it's the, it kind of is the synonymous with sheriff part.

• 1:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Got it.

• 1:29Speaker 03

  It's the sheriff that's appealing. Because what's wrong with California, what people are sick and tired of in California, is the same career disingenuous politicians.

• 1:40Patrick Bet-David?

  So, then I got a trivia question for you. How good are you at Jeopardy?

• 1:44Speaker 03

  Probably not good.

• 1:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Probably not good, the man is honest. Okay, who is the last governor in California that had a handlebar mustache?

• 1:53Speaker 03

  Oh, wow.

• 1:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you know this one?

• 1:54Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:55Patrick Bet-David?

  It's in the 1800s.

• 1:56Speaker 03

  Really?

• 1:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Late 1800s. His name was Henry Gage. I think you need to know this kind of stuff.

• 2:01Speaker 03

  I'm gonna have to know it now.

• 2:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes, if you want to pull up Henry Gage, California governor, look at this mustache. And I think you got him beat. I think that's a good mustache, but he's the last California governor with that kind of a mustache. When you think about mustache, there's something manly about it, right? Tom select mustache, you probably didn't know we're gonna go in this direction, but Tom select mustache legendary, right? Uh, uh, I think Cheech and Chong, which one was it? Cheech Merrin had a legit mustache. And, you know, look at that, not, not that one, the bottom one right there. Look at that, that's a ridiculous mustache. Dennis Eckersley had a decent. That's California, that's right. Raleigh Fingers had a good mustache, that's also California, right? He played, was it Oakland? Uh, Oakland, yeah, so did Dennis Eckersley.

• 2:46Patrick Bet-David?

  So there's something about this mustache situation that we got for you to go out there and become the governor. So, okay, um, in regards to today, I mean, there's a lot of things where your story will get to. We have plenty of time, but, uh, I saw something about Trump endorsing Hilton. He came on the podcast, the day after being on the podcast, Trump endorsed him. And I heard a couple of different things from you on the endorsement of Trump endorsing, uh, uh, Hilton. I heard on one end, of course, I would want the endorsement, but I also heard one other part where you said, the endorsement of Trump actually hurts you as a Republican in California. What are your thoughts on that?

• 3:24Speaker 03

  Absolutely, so, I mean, it's the President of the United States. To get his support, his endorsement, I mean, from, for a personal perspective, that would, that's amazing. But it's California and whether anyone likes it or not, I mean, we love our president, most of us there, some of us there. But California does not. He's ran three times statewide as he's running for president and he's lost 60-40 in the state of California. Which says that not only is it just Democrats that are voting against him, so are the independents and Republicans. So the, the whole Trump derangement syndrome is actually real in California. And I would, I would even say that it's worse than maybe most states.

• 4:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Why is that?

• 4:10Speaker 03

  I don't know, because it, because we're predominantly Democrat.

• 4:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 4:14Speaker 03

  Everything about the government is super majority and all they hear on the news all day long is it's Trump's fault. Everything is Trump's fault. Even during Biden, they blamed Trump still. It's just, it is absolutely bizarre. These campaigns, if you watch the debates, every single one of them, in every question that was asked to them, Trump's name came up. And Trump has absolutely nothing to do with California.

• 4:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, and I saw that in the debates. Every time they were asking, "It's Trump's fault, it's Trump's fault", with you and Katie, which it looks like you guys became very, very good friends by the end of it. But going back to California, you think it's a part of a, like, I was watching Pierre Poliev, I was very critical of the guy who ran in Canada, the conservative, I don't know if you know who he is or not. He ran in Canada, and it was always during the campaign, he didn't want to go and do any interviews. He refused to go to Joe Rogan, he refused to go to a lot of the bigger podcasts in America that invited him down. It was like, "No, in Canada, you have to be careful and, you know, Democrats in Canada, they're not going to be supporting", and then now he's finally going out there and talking to other people. Do you think California Republicans have to

• 5:25Patrick Bet-David?

  almost act like they're semi-liberals to have a chance of winning? Or do you think California Republicans just need to have a backbone and say, "Look, this is what we stand for, your policies are broken, the Democratic Party in California has some sort of a Stockholm Syndrome, where you guys keep re-electing the same people that are destroying your state, and it's time to try something else out"? What do you think is the right strategy for the Republican candidate?

• 5:47Speaker 03

  It's more along those lines. And I think that even Democrats are looking for that. And I'm not talking about the far-left Democrats, I'm talking about the middle-of-the-road, just a normal, regular, middle-of-the-road Democrat. Throughout this campaign, if you go back from, to the beginning of this campaign, I was the first Republican that announced that I was going to run. Steve announced three months later, two or three months later than I did.

• 6:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, you did February 25, he won April of 25.

• 6:13Speaker 03

  Yeah. There were already a dozen Democrats at the time, there were a lot more talking about it, but nobody knew who they were. There were prominent Democrats, a dozen of them. If you go back to that time until now, every single one of them have changed their stances on things, except for me. I haven't changed, probably, in my life. My conservative stance, my view of government, my my position even in what I do is outside of politics. I'm just a common sense, right and wrong, public servant.

• 6:48Speaker 03

  Problem solver, just go answer an emergency, fix the emergency and move on to the next emergency. So, everything that I have said has been the exact same stance from February until today. And every other person has changed. And I'm not, sometimes when I talk, depending on who I'm talking to, I say that I've already changed politics in California. Because I even have Democrats repeating the things that I have said from the very beginning, because it's resonating all across the state. And I think what people are looking for is just someone that they know is telling them the truth. They know I'm not BSing them just for a vote.

• 7:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, and so then why do you think, even though you started two months earlier, why do you think Steve Hilton is polling better than you are?

• 7:35Speaker 03

  Well, the polls now aren't real. The polls now are only to get your vote or your money. They're push polls, they're bought and paid for by candidates. And right now, it is, from January on, everything is about the candidates trying to vie for who you're going to...

• 7:52Patrick Bet-David?

  You really think that there's multiple polls to look at? And he's leading all of them as a Republican candidate for California?

• 8:00Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 8:01Patrick Bet-David?

  You think they're all fake?

• 8:02Speaker 03

  I don't want, no, they're not fake. They're strategically designed. There are 800 people, at the most you might find one that maybe touches close to 1,000. Statistically, a poll is supposed to have something like 2,230-something to be considered a valid statistic. But none of these ever are. Some of them are 400, 400, 800 people. And if you're traveling the state of California, that's not what California's talking about. That's not what the media's talking about, that's not what the, what comments on media podcasts are. It is different. And then the thing with these polls, they're pulling the same people all the time. It's likely voters.

• 8:47Speaker 03

  Well, what's happening in California is it's not going to be likely voters. The people who don't vote, the 40 to 60% who don't vote, are finally saying, enough is enough, we have to come out and vote.

• 8:58Patrick Bet-David?

  So, let's look at a couple of these. This is the, which one's this one, right? Create strategies? We'll go through a few of them, right? That one has Hilton 22, Becerra 20, Steyer 14, Bianca 13.

• 9:08Patrick Bet-David?

  So the part as a person who's a Republican that would like to see a Republican winning, if I combine you, Ann Hilton, and Becerra and Steyer, they would be at 34. You guys would be at 35 on this poll, which means Republicans in this poll could beat Democrats top. And of course, Porter, all the other guys, we know where they roll up. Go to another poll.

• 9:28Speaker 03

  And I want to put something out there. These are paid for, even though it creates strategies, but it's paid for by Becerra. So you have-

• 9:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Emerson is paid for by Becerra?

• 9:37Speaker 03

  This poll was. I mean, you can go to anybody to do the poll, but it's the candidate or the Democrat Party that's paying for the poll.

• 9:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, there's one thing that doesn't lie. One thing that doesn't lie is cash and where people bet, right? Which is the betting market. So if you go to Calci, go to Calci, and look at the California Governor race on Calci, and this here shows Becerra at 58%, Steyer at 29%, Hilton at 10.1%, and go a little bit lower, Bianco's at 3%, okay? Now, keep in mind, this isn't, nobody can manipulate this, because this is $36 million of volume that's been paid for. How much credibility does you and your camp give to a Calci poll like this?

• 10:21Speaker 03

  None.

• 10:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Really?

• 10:23Speaker 03

  None. None. Those aren't, you have no idea where those are coming from. Those aren't California voters. Those are people from all over who believe that California is never going to change. They're not traveling the state, talking to everybody all across the state, even Democrats. They're not going out and talking to Democrats. They're just going in there and saying Democrats are never gonna, or Democrats are always going to win California, and they're placing their bets on who the polls are saying. Tom Steyer is influencing all of his, it's all of his money that-

• 10:51Patrick Bet-David?

  $200 million he spent, $197 million.

• 10:54Speaker 03

  And he does it on this too. So he can influence, so that, these are-

• 10:58Patrick Bet-David?

  You think Tom Steyer is putting money into Calci?

• 11:00Speaker 03

  Absolutely. They've been talking about this forever. And what's the other one? There's another one that's-

• 11:05Patrick Bet-David?

  A polymarket?

• 11:06Speaker 03

  Yeah. He's doing that one too. And you put a bunch of money into it, and then it's just a, it's just where is the money going and who's betting on it, so then it changes the odds. I mean, it's just, it's no different than a horse race.

• 11:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Got it. So you're not giving any credibility to this because the combination of the two of you is a very attractive combination, you and Hilton, very attractive combination. Your strength is gonna be border, law, crime, no question. There's not even a question. Like I have my friends, you sat down with a couple of my friends in Bakersfield, with one of my good friends Ricky Aguilar, who is one of our leaders in the insurance company. You guys had a great conversation because of the crime that's going on in California. And then Hilton, you know, being more of a popular, you know, people have known him on TV. So that recognizability, sometimes all that matters, to be honest with you. Roger Stone said 40 years ago, half the battle of picking somebody, is this guy known?

• 12:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Is he popular? Do people know his name or do they not know his name? They didn't necessarily know your name come two years ago. The average person, we talked about Chad Bianco, they don't know who Chad Bianco is. Steve Hilton, they did Fox News, you know, he worked with David Cameron. And then for him, he's more the finance guy. But if it came down to it, June 2nd is the day, okay? June 1st, let's go to June 1st. Today is May 26th. What would cause you on June 1st, on numbers and polls, vice versa, you versus him, him versus you? What would cause you to say, look, I'm gonna make the phone call, there's no reason for me to stay here. I would much rather support this to go to Hilton.

• 12:46Patrick Bet-David?

  So we can at least have a Republican in the top two versus having a top two being a Democrat. So that conversation can stay there for California. What would cause you to say on June 1st you would entertain that idea?

• 12:56Speaker 03

  Nothing.

• 12:57Patrick Bet-David?

  So nothing?

• 12:57Speaker 03

  Nothing. The time for that was March 3rd. Not now. I guarantee you that the Democrats are gonna vote for Swalwell. Swalwell's probably going to get around, probably between maybe 4 and 7% of the vote, and he's not even in there. You can't take your name off the ballot. People have already been voting for three weeks.

• 13:19Patrick Bet-David?

  So you dropping out? You don't think that's gonna help the Republican Party of California?

• 13:23Speaker 03

  Now? No.

• 13:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so let me give you different stories. June 3rd, we find out the top two gubernatorial candidates in California that are running for the general is Becerra and Steyer. Do you take some responsibility for Republicans losing?

• 15:40Speaker 03

  It's a yes and a no. It's California in general. Because that's exactly what this poll is meant for. In January, so you have to look at politics and how you run politics. In Janu- all of last year, there were 18 polls, 18 good polls, from May to November, end of November. And I was number one in 15 of them.

• 16:03Patrick Bet-David?

  January of last year?

• 16:04Speaker 03

  From May of last year to November of last year.

• 16:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, got it. So Hilton was already in it.

• 16:10Speaker 03

  Oh yeah. And I was number one in all of them. Nobody said anything. Emerson wasn't publishing anything. They were all- if you look at Hilton's expenditures, he paid for a ton of polls. Why didn't he publish them? Just because you pay a poll for a poll doesn't mean it goes out. It only publishes if you like the results of the poll and that's what you want people to influence. I wish people knew how dirty politics are. There's nothing real. So you pay for a poll.

• 16:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 16:36Speaker 03

  You try and get the results that you want. If you don't get them, you keep them hidden and then you try and change things. If you get the results that you want, then you publish it and say, "Look, I'm ahead." Or, "Look, I'm number two. I need more money so I can overtake number one." But then we get to January and everyone knew I was in the lead. So what happened? Hilton changed his entire campaign to just attack me. His entire goal is to attack me because I was the one that was going to win. The Democrats know I'm going to win. Democrat mailers that are going out to people or emailers going out for fundraising, name me, not Steve Hilton. They don't want me in November because that public safety aspect, the crime, the corruption, the honesty, the integrity, the leadership,

• 17:19Speaker 03

  that is going to win this election over career politicians who have put us in this place in the first place. So from January until now, Steve Hilton's entire campaign was attack Chad Bianco because I can't beat him. So we have to somehow diminish him and then you do it with these polls. Even when you look at the polls that are coming out now, you add them up and it's 65, 70% Democrats. That is just- An impossibility. In California, right now, 65 to 70% people voting for Democrats on these polls is an absolute impossibility. We're being influenced for the lower Democrats, the Katie Porter supporters, the Villarreal supporters, to say, "Oh, my gosh, two Republicans are going to go to November,

• 18:03Speaker 03

  so you have to change and you've got to vote for Becerra." And Steyer's just using his own money to get his name out there for people to vote for him. So they're trying to change and get Becerra, so they put him there to get Democrat vote, but at the same time, they don't want people voting for me, so put Chad Low, and then convince Republicans that they have to change and vote for Steve, because a vote for Chad isn't going to matter. So now Steve is that number-two person instead of Chad, and then they win in November. Steve has... It's unfortunate, because I don't not like Steve, other than the lies that he's been saying about me for six months, but he's saying all the right things. Whether or not he's going to do it, that's a different story.

• 18:46Patrick Bet-David?

  What are the lies he said about you?

• 18:48Speaker 03

  Just the negative smear campaign about me. The amnesty part, the kneeling for BLM. He has to attack my honesty and my leadership ability with law enforcement, because I'm a nationwide leader of law enforcement, which I earned, and I don't... I mean, I'm not patting myself on the back. That's what... Because of COVID...

• 19:08Patrick Bet-David?

  You won 60-something percent.

• 19:10Speaker 03

  Because of the riots, yes. I earned a very, very good reputation in law enforcement for leadership, and so he has to attack that.

• 19:20Patrick Bet-David?

  There is specific things that you became a national hero when you were the first sheriff during COVID that didn't agree for the lockdown, if I'm not mistaken, right? That was the first time where people are like, "Who is he?"

• 19:33Speaker 03

  Right.

• 19:34Patrick Bet-David?

  And doing it in... You didn't do it in Texas, you didn't do it in Nevada, you did it in California, which was the strictest one to go through, so you got that name. But somehow, some way, even though you led last year from May to November, and not now, today Hilton's ahead. And there are a lot of people, quite frankly, like the voters outside who are Republicans, or the people in California who are maybe independent, or some of the Democrats that are Kennedy Democrats, because there's different Democrats today. You got the AOC Democrats, Bernie Democrats, you know, you got the old-school Democrats. Who maybe an 80s, 90s Democrat is a center-right today, right? Trump was a 80s Democrat, if you think about it, and he's probably center-right today. He's not a hardcore, you know, Republican Democrat.

• 20:18Patrick Bet-David?

  But if the polls are saying, Chad, respectfully, we're siding with Hilton.

• 20:24Speaker 03

  If we believed the polls, we would have just stayed home and not voted for Trump. Trump was not ahead in any polls. Kamala Harris was ahead in all the polls. If 2016, it was supposed to be Hillary Clinton. 10 days before the election, Hillary had a 13-point lead. 10 days before the election. We, we should have just stayed home then, if that's the logic. Polls are, polls in politics are nothing but to get your vote or your money. They're not real. The, I, I, it, it's unfortunate that, that people believe them. They're not real. Politics is the most disgusting, dishonest,

• 21:01Speaker 03

  I don't want to say job, industry that there is. And, and it truly is an industry. There's, it's an, it's, it's run by an entire industry. From top to bottom, people are making money off of me coming and asking you for money. You give me your money so they can all spend it. And then we try and manipulate people to vote for us so we can get an office. And then what are we going to do to stay there? And nothing, it's not real. There's nothing real.

• 21:25Patrick Bet-David?

  And why are you doing it?

• 21:26Speaker 03

  To change all of this. To change all of this. I'm doing it because that's, it is exactly opposite of what my career is. My career is based on short honesty. I mean, I'm probably have one of the, if not the only career that you can get fired for lying. And we fire people all the time for lying. I, I wish politics were like that.

• 21:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Can, can you, to the average person who is not in Riverside County? I've, I've been to Riverside a few hundred times because I had an office in Riverside. So I would always drive through the area. You, I would stay at San Bernardino. Some people that don't know, I think the first McDonald's was in San Bernardino. By that one hotel that many presidents have stayed at, I don't remember the hotel's name. It's a beautiful, old-school hotel. Do you know which one I'm talking about?

• 22:10Speaker 03

  Well, the Mission Inn is in Riverside.

• 22:12Patrick Bet-David?

  The Riverside, the Mission Inn. And we've done so many events there. And when you walk in, they got pictures of everybody on the sites here and registration right there. And so I have a lot of memories there, but. As a sheriff, you know, of Riverside County, give us some of the things that you run into. Whether it's what happened during election, you know, the 600 something thousand votes. Whether it's the types of crime you've seen. Whether it's the types of people that are crossing a border that makes it all the way up to where you're at. Maybe give us the conditions of what it's like in California, specifically with Riverside County.

• 22:45Speaker 03

  Riverside County, we're a big county, two and a half million people. We're not a border county, but from a law enforcement and from a federal government perspective, we're considered a border county because of our freeway systems and we have checkpoints in our county. So even though I'm not, I'm one county away from, from our southern border. We're, the Border Patrol and Immigration and all those consider us a border county. So people wise, demographic wise, we're a good representation of all of California. We've got big cities with 200 and 350,000 people, 250,000 people. We've got numerous ones of those. We're resort communities and the entire Palm Springs, Palm Desert area is all resort communities, snowbirds.

• 23:32Speaker 03

  Massive farming from our southern border all the way through Riverside County is massive, massive farming. Mountain areas with snow, the demographics, I have everything.

• 23:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Lake Arrowhead is you?

• 23:45Speaker 03

  No, that's San Bernardino. So we have Idlewild, we don't have, we don't have a ski resort, anything like that, but we've got mountain communities.

• 23:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Is Yucca Valley you?

• 23:54Speaker 03

  Yucca Valley, San Bernardino.

• 23:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Yucca Valley, San Bernardino, got it.

• 23:57Speaker 03

  So we, we share a border that goes almost from the edge of LA, they touch LA.

• 24:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you pull it up though, just to see the map?

• 24:04Speaker 03

  And we share that border that goes all the way across over to Arizona. So San Bernardino is just right above us from right there. They go up, they're, they're probably twice as thick as we are. And then we go, both of us go all the way over here to the Arizona border.

• 24:20Patrick Bet-David?

  All the way?

• 24:21Speaker 03

  Yeah. So it's a big, 78, 100 square miles is what I have, but.

• 24:29Speaker 03

  We have the freeways that come in. We have the 15 that comes up from the south, the 10 coming in and they intersect in my county. So as far as drug trafficking, human trafficking, the open border that we had, we were the center of that because of the freeway systems. The 15 going up north across the country and the 10 going south across the country. And then the five and the 15 that come up from San Diego.

• 24:53Patrick Bet-David?

  What are some things you saw? Like what have you seen from the immigration, the border, the open order that we had under Biden? What are some things you experienced with people coming up to your county?

• 25:02Speaker 03

  Well, it was massive, massive, hundreds and hundreds of thousands, millions of people that came through the southern border and then got disseminated through the rest of the country from us. But from a law enforcement perspective, massive amounts of drugs. Fentanyl is, fentanyl came from the southern border up into us and then disseminated throughout the rest of the country. Human trafficking, whether it's labor trafficking or sex trafficking, but...

• 25:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you have any cases? Like, you know, typically when I bring, I like to bring Sheriff Judd Grady on and he'll tell me stories.

• 25:37Speaker 03

  Grady's a good man.

• 25:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, he's a good man. But I have a lot of respect for what you guys do as sheriffs. It's not an easy job. But it's good for the audience to know what is really going on because not all of it makes into the news and they're not going to tell the news cycle. Give us some of the big cases that you experienced.

• 25:52Speaker 03

  We have, we have a, what I have built is a massive human trafficking task force team. And so we've got tons of people in my department that, but then we operate also with task forces and we bring them in too. But that was, that was since I took over. That's been, that's been a hard thing for me is trafficking kids, sex trafficking. And so I built that to where now my guys are traveling the country, teaching others what we're doing, what we're looking for. And we have a little different aspect because we don't, we can if you want, but human trafficking, sex trafficking, prostitution and all of those things, they call it a blade. A blade is where you can go and this is, it's, it's blocks and blocks of where the prostitutes are hanging out, the pimps are

• 26:36Speaker 03

  all hanging out. We don't have... any of that in in our county. So we're very, very unique. So ours is all resort based or hotel based or event based. And a lot of people aren't like that. It's easy to find where your human trafficking victims are if they're all concentrated in one area and they're walking the streets. But ours isn't like that. So we get that experience from others through San Diego or Los Angeles, but then they're not getting that experience of of where what we have that you're not, you can't just go look for the blade and then try and find these victims. You actually have to go out and try and find them. So it's a little bit unique and it's caused because of the freeway system. It's the the

• 27:16Speaker 03

  10 and the 15 are just massive transportation routes for for these girls and boys that are being sex trafficked. And that goes through my county. So we have a we have a big part of that. And then the drugs are the same thing. So it's the same freeway system.

• 27:32Patrick Bet-David?

  What's the biggest bust you've had for human trafficking or or sex or or drugs?

• 27:39Speaker 03

  I don't know about the biggest. I mean, we we arrest, I mean, we we arrest people with tons of fentanyl.

• 27:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you see that? Is it weekly? Is it monthly?

• 27:48Speaker 03

  Oh, we we get, we're having hundreds and hundreds of pounds weekly.

• 27:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Fentanyl getting caught?

• 27:55Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah. That's not what's, yes. Hundreds of pounds weekly.

• 28:00Patrick Bet-David?

  And is it by five people? Is it by 50? Is it by 100? How many different cases accounts for the hundreds of pounds?

• 28:10Speaker 03

  Probably 10.

• 28:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 28:12Speaker 03

  Probably 10.

• 28:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you notice a pattern of who's typically doing it, in what area, tied to who?

• 28:18Speaker 03

  Yes. I mean, we have, we have patterns of what we look for. It's it's an art. The the people that we have trained in finding this, it's not only the undercover guys that are that are out with CIs and trying to find information. It's utilizing those freeway systems and the roadways. And we call it interdiction. And this is a nationwide thing, but we're we're one of the biggest interdiction teams. And it's about, it's, I don't want to say it's profiling. I mean, you're looking at things on the road, but it's it's we're training our deputies to notice things, patterns that are different on the roadway. And sometimes it's even funny about whether you break when you see a cop or

• 29:00Speaker 03

  Knowing what a car is supposed to look like, but it's tilted. You're just seeing it. Yes. So it's got, it's got 500 pounds of methamphetamine

• 29:14Speaker 03

  in the back axle. It's going to ride different than a regular car that doesn't have that. And they're, they're just things that we look for and they're, they're, they're good. They're good. It blows me away when they do it. You know, I sit with them and they're like, oh, that one. And we'll go stop it and sure enough, sometimes it's empty and they're, whatever it was that they keyed on, we found the compartment, but it was empty, but we know that they were, they're either involved in it. And then we'll follow them. We'll put trackers on cars.

• 29:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Is it tied to a certain gang? Do you notice?

• 29:45Speaker 03

  It's cartel. It's not a gang. Yeah. It's cartel. I mean, there are some times during, during the Biden administration, when human trafficking was so prolific, the cartels made more money off of humans. So they actually allowed gangs, even non Hispanic gangs to take over the drug trade. They still controlled it south of the border, but they were allowing the gangs to go get it, transport it and get it into the country and disseminate it. Because the cartels were making more money off of humans. But that changed. Soon as Trump came in and locked down the border again, it all went back. So now it's cartel that has all of the drug trade again.

• 30:22Patrick Bet-David?

  What interaction have you had with the cartels, yourself?

• 30:26Speaker 03

  Myself, none. I mean, when I was a deputy, we would arrest people that we knew were cartel members.

• 30:32Speaker 03

  Unfortunately, I mean, this is a bad thing for me. It's, people use it as a bad thing. I think it's a good thing because we're the ones that arrested them. But we arrested one of our own employees that we end up finding out is related to a very high up cartel member and he himself, by association and everything else was, was running drugs, running fentanyl for the cartel.

• 30:52Patrick Bet-David?

  As, as a cop himself?

• 30:54Speaker 03

  Mm hmm. He was a very young kid and when looking back, he had zero, nothing negative in his background. And it's almost one of those things where you have to ask, was this on purpose? Did they, did they purposely do it? Alcigerra, Roca? Yeah.

  September 20th, transporting 104 pounds of fentanyl pills.

• 33:30Speaker 03

  Yeah. And his, his uncle, and, and we ended up talking to his mom and everything else. The mom was extremely, extremely disappointed. She knew what her family was into, but she thought she had shielded his, her kid from it. But he had, his uncle had hooked him up and they had become business partners, I guess. And there, we, in our investigation, we let it go for a little bit to make sure, we have to figure out if there's more, we have to figure out what he's doing. And it didn't have anything to do with the jails. It was, it was, it was cartel smuggling of fentanyl and trafficking. And so we ended up taking him down.

• 34:08Patrick Bet-David?

  How did he get caught? 520,000 pills?

• 34:10Speaker 03

  We arrested, we stopped him. We, we stopped, it's an, it's a, there's, we do great work in drug investigations. So we knew that he was going to pick up a load of fentanyl.

• 34:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Did one of your own leak it? Or did one of the informants, or did one of your guys that is working undercover leak it?

• 34:28Speaker 03

  It was a combination of one of our guys in a federal investigation. So we had, we had one of our guys on a federal task force and they came up with the possible. So they gave it to us and then we looked into him ourselves, outside of that other investigation where he was identified.

• 34:48Patrick Bet-David?

  And in this case, with the 520,000 pills, how much money was he going to make off this? Is it a buck a pill, 50 cents a pill, 10 cents a pill?

• 34:55Speaker 03

  It's probably 10 bucks a pill.

• 34:57Patrick Bet-David?

  So he, he was going to make 5.2 million?

• 34:59Speaker 03

  Oh, he wouldn't. I mean, you know what he's making? I have no idea. I mean, he, his uncle.

• 35:06Speaker 03

  was probably making a boatload of money because he was pretty high up in the cartel. He was a, he was a high up person.

• 35:13Patrick Bet-David?

  In the States or in, in, uh, uh, Sinaloa?

• 35:15Speaker 03

  In the States.

• 35:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Did he also get caught? The uncle?

• 35:19Speaker 03

  By someone else. That was a different investigation. So they, so that, and that's how, usually how drug investigations work. They, they're, it's not just one investigation that you try and find everybody. It's, it's, we're doing this investigation and we identified possibly this kid. So they notify us and then we start doing that. But there were other people doing, it, it's spiders. It's a big spider web. A drug investigation is not one, just one little thing looking for one single person. It's probably in one, this investigation probably had, there was probably several hundred law enforcement officers, either local or federal, that were working in this investigation, how big it was.

• 36:00Patrick Bet-David?

  And, and how does he not know that they're watching him for him not to screw off?

• 36:04Speaker 03

  Well, that's, that's our role, or that's our job, is to make sure we don't get caught while we're trying to catch them. They're trying to get away, we're trying to catch them. It's a, it's a cat and mouse.

• 36:13Patrick Bet-David?

  It's one of your deputies.

• 36:14Speaker 03

  It's one of our deputies.

• 36:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, Grady had a similar case as well, as one of his deputies they had to go catch. And it was, he, he, same thing, he had to call his parents. Uh, uh, it's gotta be a tough job when it's your own guys. And this guy was a younger guy you were saying, he was in his mid twenties.

• 36:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, and, and all, all, everything in his background, he was a great kid. He had a great upbringing, his mom raised him well. Um, he was a fantastic employee. It was a complete shock to his peers and his supervisors when we arrested him.

• 36:41Patrick Bet-David?

  How long is he facing now?

• 36:43Speaker 03

  Uh...

• 36:46Patrick Bet-David?

  It's a ten plus?

• 36:47Speaker 03

  It should be.

• 36:48Patrick Bet-David?

  For 520,000 pills, a hundred pounds?

• 36:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, I, I haven't been paying attention to, to, to the court case. And, and the bad, that's the bad part about the justice system. Unless you take a deal, they, it goes, it takes forever.

• 37:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Unless if you take a deal, it takes forever. Okay. So for someone like you, as the sheriff, who opposed what Biden was doing, opposed what Newsom was doing, the AG is not a fan of you, obviously, you know, Becerra.

• 37:14Speaker 03

  Our AG is an embarrassment to law enforcement.

• 37:16Patrick Bet-David?

  So but how do you maneuver? How many times did they try to destroy your life? And hurt you, or it's just kind of like we find a way to coexist together?

• 37:25Speaker 03

  So, no, we don't exist. I will never try and coexist with them. They're corrupt. And I, that my, my mission is to provide the best, right now, as the sheriff of Riverside County, they elected me to provide the best law enforcement I possibly can. The cheapest, the most cost effective, the most, and keep them the safest I possibly can. So it's my mission to figure out how we're going to do that. Uh, because of COVID and me standing up to the government, which was in California, it's I stood up to Democrats. It's, it's, it's not, everything in California, especially when you get to there, it's all about politics. It's Democrat versus Republican. And they, even though I'm a non, nonpartisan race, you don't elect me as a Republican.

• 38:09Speaker 03

  You just elect me who you, if you think I'm going to provide you a better service. And, but it became their mission to get rid of me.

• 38:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Why?

• 38:19Speaker 03

  Because they can't control me. And they know they can't control me. I'm going to do everything in my power for the people that I represent, the people that elected me. I am not going to, they can't, they can't threaten me, they can't buy me, they can't do anything to make me go along with them if they're not doing the right thing. And that's what COVID was. You can't, you can't watch me. Or you can't, while I'm watching you, release tens of thousands of criminals into my neighborhood. And then you're telling me to go arrest some girl because she wants to go work?

• 38:58Speaker 03

  At a restaurant to keep food on the table for her kid because she violated your stay-at-home order. There's something very, very wrong with that.

• 39:08Patrick Bet-David?

  How can they make your life a living hell?

• 39:10Speaker 03

  Well, they're just, they're trying to get me out of office. So it's basically, it's all of the lies that they're going to, that they're going to bring up about me. And it's, it's, there was Nancy Pelosi had a great time when she was telling, it was almost like a mic slip, where she's explaining how this works. You, you just make up these ridiculous allegations. You maybe throw a lawsuit into it and you get all of these things in the media. And then when you're running for election again, they're going to use that against me. They're going to say, oh, look, look at all the jail deaths. Look at this DOJ investigation for civil rights investigations that California DOJ is doing on him. And they just keep referring to the LA Times and then local rags that we have. And then people believe it. It's like, oh, my gosh, he's under investigation?

• 39:55Speaker 03

  Well, it's all fake. It was an ACLU fake letter that they sent the Attorney General. And the Attorney General says, oh, my God, it's so terrible. He's doing so many of these horrible things. We're going to initiate a civil rights investigation into constitutional rights, ongoing. Well, it's been three years now. And there's not one single word have we heard from the Attorney General. Because it's fake. They just want it in the news so they can refer to it again.

• 40:23Patrick Bet-David?

  What, when you and Becerra were on stage, what were the behind the scenes? When the cameras weren't on, what was those conversations like? Specifically, you and Becerra?

• 40:33Speaker 03

  There, there's no, they're, they're, they're just cordial conversations. They're, hi, how are you? I don't really engage with any of them. I have nothing to say to any of them, especially him. He was our Attorney General. Very, very, very dishonest. If you couldn't see that he's dishonest just from the way he won't answer or what he does answer during the debate. He's, he's just not an honest person. He is the typical career politician that will say anything for a vote. And most of the, and he's good. He's an attorney. So he knows how to talk. He knows how to answer something for five minutes without answering it. And then you're done and you're like, oh, that was a good answer, but he really didn't answer you. So I, while I respect them for what they've been able to accomplish, getting elected over and over and over again,

• 41:17Speaker 03

  they've still harmed us. So I don't want to be friends with them. I'm not friends with any of them, but I'm at least, I'm cordial. I mean, it's easy to say, how are your grandkids? How are you doing? How's everything going? Are you busy?

• 41:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Who, who, who be, who behind the stage, backstage confronted, or you confronted them? Was there anything that happened, or it's cordial with everybody?

• 41:37Speaker 03

  It's always cordial.

• 41:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Katie, Katie's also cordial, you know?

• 41:40Speaker 03

  She's cordial, she's just not a nice person. She's not a nice person.

• 41:44Patrick Bet-David?

  On camera or off camera, not a nice person?

• 41:46Speaker 03

  On camera, she's nicer on camera. She's playing for the cameras. That's not what she's like backstage.

• 41:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you, can you pull up a clip here? Is this the one where you guys mad dogged each other? Is this the one? Go ahead, Rob.

• 41:57Speaker 04

  I mean, I think we ought to enforce the existing sanctuary laws everywhere. So we don't have crazy cowboys taking the law into their own hands.

• 42:06Speaker 03

  Tell that to a crazy mother who lost her child.

• 42:09Speaker 04

  Sir, I don't need any lectures from you about being a mother.

• 42:12Speaker 03

  Of cour- you might.

• 42:15Speaker 07

  Okay. So, okay.

• 42:18Speaker 04

  Again? All you have done this evening is shout past me and not given me a chance to respond.

• 42:26Speaker 03

  That was obviously a scripted answer that didn't fit, but go ahead.

• 42:29Speaker 07

  But please, I, I'm sorry, everybody.

• 42:32Speaker 04

  No, I'm not gonna be, excuse me, I'm not gonna be lectured, because I have not interrupted a single person.

• 42:38Speaker 07

  I understand, Congresswoman, you have the floor.

• 42:41Patrick Bet-David?

  What happened here right after the break? Did she come up to you? Did you go up to her?

• 42:44Speaker 03

  Oh, no. Nothing. No.

• 42:48Patrick Bet-David?

  You think she needs advice on being a mom?

• 42:50Speaker 03

  Well.

• 42:53Speaker 03

  It depends if you believe her ex-husband.

• 42:56Patrick Bet-David?

  You talking about the potato situation?

• 42:58Speaker 03

  That and the divorce and all of the allegations of domestic violence and everything else, in front of kids. I, I mean, she's not a nice person. There was one, there was one event backstage where she acts like she, she wants everybody to believe that she's this leader and she's, she can be calm and she wants, she wants everybody to believe that it's all the, the, the boys on the stage that are doing it. It's all an act for her to try and get support. But there was one instance backstage, we were at a college, it was the Pomona College one, it's a bunch of college kids that are putting this on, they've never done it before. They actually did a very good job, and it's all these poli sci majors and everything else that are helping us.

• 43:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Cal Poly Pomona? Which, which college was it?

• 43:39Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 43:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 43:39Speaker 03

  And so, we're there. They're lining us up. So this young girl, her only job was to line us up backstage so we could just walk out in order. And so she's lining up, she lines up with Sarah and then me, and then we're going down. And it gets over to Katie, and Katie was talking to someone. So she's like, Ms. Porter. And Katie turns around to her, and I sw- I'm not exaggerating, just with the most meanest look you can imagine, and just the most sarcastic, "We've got it figured out." And the little girl was just like shocked. So she turns around, she's like, "Okay, I'm sorry." And she turns around and walks, she's walking back by me now, and you can see just this defeated look on her face.

• 44:22Speaker 03

  And I, I touched her arm and I said, "Hey, you guys are doing a great job. We appreciate everything you guys are doing back here." And she just smiles, she's like, "Oh, thank you," and she just walked away. But it's like, that's who she really is. That's the person we saw in her video where she's yelling at her staff. There is, we're in, she's right next door to me in my county. We know exactly who Katie Porter is. And it's, and throughout history, throughout her political history, she's the person on the screen where she's yelling at her staff. That's her demeanor, that's her personality. And then I'll give you one more.

• 44:59Speaker 03

  When we left the final debate,

• 45:02Speaker 03

  we all walk offstage. We get, there's a kitchen behind us. So we get offstage and we're all like piling into this kitchen. And she stops, she was first, and everybody else is now piling as they're forcing us through there. And she turns around and she says,

• 45:19Speaker 03

  "I don't care what any of you MFers think about me. I'm funnier than all of you MFers." But she said the whole thing. And I'm like-

• 45:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Is she trying to be funny or is she serious?

• 45:33Speaker 03

  That's her, that's who she is.

• 45:36Speaker 03

  That's who she is.

• 45:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Wait, she said that to Basara.

• 45:40Speaker 03

  All of us, we were all trying to get through this doorway, back into the kitchen behind stage, after the debate was over. And she stopped, she was first, I was right behind her, and then they were all behind me, we were all getting funneled out because it was over and they had to redo the press so we could go back out. And that's how she talks. That's, that's her demeanor. But yet she wants you to believe something else. Politics is, there is nothing real about these politicians, which is why I'm doing this. And I even said that on stage. For four debates we had, there is one thing that is, that is absolutely true

• 46:18Speaker 03

  with me and the rest of them, is I'm not them. Every single one of them are career politicians except for Steyer. Steyer is just a crazy billionaire.

• 46:27Patrick Bet-David?

  What is he like, what is he backstage like?

• 46:28Speaker 03

  He's very nice, I mean, he's easy to talk to. He, he loves talking to me about, that one of the questions that we had was, what do you watch on TV? And I don't watch TV. So I said, I don't, I, there's nothing. And so afterward, he just, he can't believe that I don't watch Marshals. I guess it's a show about US Marshals. And he said, you, he, and he's, every time he sees me, he says, "Are you watching the show yet?" He says, "I can't believe you're not watching this show." He says, "It's guys on horses, it's law enforcement, this is right up your alley." So, and that's, he's, he's funny, he's, he's easy to talk to.

• 47:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Very interesting. So he's actually an easy guy to deal with?

• 47:04Speaker 03

  He's, yes. They really, they all are. I, I mean, except for, except for Katie.

• 47:09Patrick Bet-David?

  But Sarah's even easy to talk to?

• 47:11Speaker 03

  Um, he's very easy to talk to, he's very mild-mannered, um, he's very calm. Um, I mean, we, we talk, "How are you doing? How's the campaign? Everything going well?" It's all just small talk. I mean, they talk amongst each other because, the, the Democrats especially, because they've known each other for years and years and years, so they obviously have more to talk about. I don't have anything to talk about.

• 47:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you and Hilton speak? You guys, is there a relationship there?

• 47:34Speaker 03

  No, um, it's very cordial. Um, it, it was probably a whole lot, well, it definitely was a whole lot better before January when he started attacking me.

• 47:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you approach him, did you confront him with it and say, "Why are you changing the campaign approach?"

• 47:48Speaker 03

  Uh, no. No, I mean, it, we know why. We know why he did it. It's politics. It's just dirty politics. That's how politics work.

• 47:58Patrick Bet-David?

  You put up a clip about him as well, seven days ago, where it shows, you know, him having Newsom's wife on, I think Jennifer Newsom, he's interviewing while he was on Fox, or the Antifa $50,000, you know which clip I'm talking about. I think it's-

• 48:10Speaker 03

  Probably. So, there are lots of, there are lots of clips up there. And, and one of the things, I think I, I may have shared it or something, but then you also have to realize, and we do the same thing, we, we look and make sure that it's what's coming from Steve's campaign, or what's coming from Steve's supporters. Because anybody can make a, a Facebook page, or an Instagram page, and call it whatever they want. I mean, there's, there's plenty of times where, where people have told me, you know, "I sent a, I sent a direct message to your campaign site, and you didn't answer." And then I find out that it's just some supporter in Northern California that made their own page. I have no idea who they are. But, those

• 48:50Speaker 03

  things that are coming out about Steve, that's not me saying them. Those are the videos of Steve saying things, but people have to see it.

• 49:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. No, no, I get that. And that's the part about politics, right? There's a nastier element about politics.

• 51:50Patrick Bet-David?

  What's the story with the votes, the ballots? What happened there?

• 51:55Speaker 03

  It's, it is so basic, so easy, but it's being spun into something that it's not. There is an allegation. The allegation is that there is a type, some type of election fraud happening. And it was based off the own records that, that people obtained, public records from our registrar of voters. So in California, you know, we have mail-in ballots. And they start... Once they mail out the ballots, they start getting them back every day. And so every day, they count the ballots that they received that day. And there's a running total of how many ballots go into the ROV.

• 52:36Speaker 03

  When you add up those daily logs, it comes up to 611,000. But when you add the yes and the no votes after the vote, after the election was over, there's 46,000 more yes and no votes than there were even ballots. So that gets brought to us. So we start investigating. We go to the ROV, the registrar of voters, and we ask them, why, what's the discrepancy? And they had no answer, no answer. They have no idea because it's their logs. And so in the end, they're like, well, it must be human error. Well, human error is not acceptable answer for a election fraud investigation.

• 53:15Speaker 03

  So it's obvious we have to determine which one is correct, the total votes or the total ballots. So the only way we're going to know is to count the ballots. So we take that information to a judge. The judge reads that information, that probable cause deck, and he's like, he agrees and says, yes, go get the ballots. Obviously, we have to count them. So when that happened, the attorney general gets notified by the registrar of voters that we just served them no. The attorney general now is Rob Bonta. So Becerra is unemployed right now. He's just, he does nothing.

• 53:48Patrick Bet-David?

  And Rob Bonta, who is Rob Bonta's wife?

• 53:51Speaker 03

  She is an assembly member. It's the California corrupt couple.

• 53:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes. Yes, so it goes to Bonta.

• 54:02Speaker 03

  So Bonta immediately filed, well, immediately, he sends me an email ordering me to stop my investigation.

• 54:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 54:11Speaker 03

  Well, he can't do that. So I just ignored him. So a couple of days later, he sends me another email saying, you ignored my last email, and I'm ordering you to stop. Well, and then I acknowledged it because it said, you know, a demand at the bottom, reply to this email, so I know you got it. So I responded and said, okay, I got it. And then he filed a lawsuit, knowing that I was not going to stop that investigation. He filed a lawsuit, and the lawsuit is not about the election, it's, or the, the investigation. It's about him having the authority to order me to stop.

• 54:46Speaker 03

  So, that's what we're going to argue in court right now, is whether or not he has the authority to stop a legal investigation. But the judge now has ordered everything stopped. They're ordering me that I can't count the ballots, so I can't count the ballots. That's how the law works. But this is all semantics because he doesn't want those ballots counted. And it doesn't matter who I talk to. I've talked to Democrats, independents, and Republicans. When you put it out like that, everyone is like, "Well, why don't you just count the ballots?" Exactly. Why don't you? Why does he not want those ballots being counted? But now we have to argue in court whether he has the authority to stop a legal investigation.

• 55:27Patrick Bet-David?

  And I think it's his wife that was trying to stop Nick Shirley Act.

• 55:31Speaker 03

  Yes, absolutely.

• 55:32Patrick Bet-David?

  So she went after Nick Shirley. So that's the couple here, the AG.

• 55:36Speaker 03

  So he's responsible for investigating and keeping our money safe, and investigating all the fraud, the abuse, and the waste in California. He is right there. And now his wife is proposing a bill to get signed to arrest Nick Shirley for exposing the fraud that he is not investigating. You can't make this up. California could be a good movie.

• 56:03Patrick Bet-David?

  So then the question becomes, their majority on legislative, their majority on everything in California, they have their AGs everywhere, they have their district DA's everywhere, even if you or Hilton get elected. And I know both of you guys have said, "Well, through executive order, through executive powers, through executive powers." You're gonna have your hands behind your back anyways, you know. So how are you gonna go up against the monopoly that they have in California?

• 56:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, not so much. So you have to, you look at, you look at him. He's just a political activist that was appointed by Newsom to fill an empty seat when the Attorney General, when Becerra went to HHS. Now we have an empty... A G, so the governor gets to appoint it. He appointed a corrupt politician to cover everything else that's going on in Sacramento. And then you have his wife, who is one of the leaders of the corrupt organization in the legislature, which is the Assembly and the Senate. But there's only about fifteen to twenty of them that are corrupt, that are far left, that are ideological activist agenda driven.

• 57:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Fifteen to twenty of them that are corrupt?

• 57:12Speaker 03

  Yes, but they're running everything.

• 57:15Patrick Bet-David?

  I know, but are they well-known names?

• 57:17Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 57:18Patrick Bet-David?

  So who are some of these things? She's one, Banta, who else?

• 57:21Speaker 03

  Both the Speaker of the Senate, the, all of the ones that are in leadership positions. I mean, I'll throw one out because she's turning into be one of the worst. Clarissa Cervantes happens to be one of my representatives. Or, I'm sorry, that's her sister.

• 57:44Speaker 03

  Now I just lost her name. Sabrina, Sabrina Cervantes.

• 57:49Speaker 03

  And what they do is the people that are so embedded in the far-left politics, they put them in the leadership positions where, so they're on, they're the heads of committees, or like the public safety committees.

• 58:01Patrick Bet-David?

  So she's corrupt?

• 58:02Speaker 03

  She is nothing but far-left politics. I don't want to say she's corrupt, she's just going along with agenda. And I'm probably using bad terms, I'm using my terms. Because I was told the other day, and it was funny, I was talking to Dinesh D'Souza, and how he was describing it, I'm like, oh my gosh, no wonder I'm having a hard time with it. She believes she's right. She thinks I'm wrong. I just think she's wrong. She's going along with this far-left political agenda, and it's the agenda at all costs. And I believe that's wrong, that's not representing everybody. So, it's not that, I mean, if you ask her, she's not going to tell you she's corrupt. She doesn't think she is. She's just not.

• 58:45Speaker 03

  Operating within government, how government is supposed to be operating.

• 58:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, why do you say she's far left? What makes her corrupt or what makes her the far-left person that she is?

• 58:55Speaker 03

  It's the progressive agenda. She is the progressive agenda. She is a face of the progressive agenda, the DEI. And I don't want to say too much about her because, truth be told, before she started hating me, just because I was a Republican sheriff of COVID, I really liked her. She's a very, very nice person. She has a history throughout her Assembly and Senate career that when a... Because they have a supermajority, they are able to tell people who are in districts that are swing districts where she would

• 59:32Speaker 03

  be easily outvoted, she gets to step away from a vote. So, for instance, when California raised the gas tax several years ago, she didn't vote to raise the gas tax because she is actually in a... was, at the time, in a Republican district. So, coming up on an election, there is no way in the world she would have got elected again. So, they allow her to skip that vote. So, she's a do-not-vote because they knew they had the votes to begin with.

• 1:00:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, can you pull up this article here that Humberto sent you? Do you know which one I'm saying? So, very interesting. I didn't know she is.

• 1:00:14Speaker 03

  So, she is... She started... It's really her dad. Her dad is a driver of the Democrat politics in Riverside County.

• 1:00:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Go all the way down if you could.

• 1:00:25Speaker 03

  And she was a staffer for one of our supervisors now, Jose.

• 1:00:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that really her? Her and her wife?

• 1:00:31Speaker 03

  Um, yes. She's on the right.

• 1:00:34Patrick Bet-David?

  And those are the three kids?

• 1:00:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:00:36Patrick Bet-David?

  They had triplets?

• 1:00:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:00:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow. So they procreated triplets together. I thought women and women can't make babies.

• 1:00:44Speaker 03

  Well, I don't know how they got them.

• 1:00:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, okay.

• 1:00:46Speaker 03

  But I know they're married.

• 1:00:47Patrick Bet-David?

  It's ironic that all the kids like the rainbow outfits.

• 1:00:51Speaker 03

  It is.

• 1:00:52Patrick Bet-David?

  To have on. I wonder what they'll grow up to wanna be. We'll find it. We'll come back in 20 years. Make a note to come back in 20 years and to see where they're gonna be with that.

• 1:00:59Speaker 03

  So she has a bill in this that she's trying to get signed right now through the senate that is to separate the power of the sheriff and the coroner. So I'm the sheriff coroner. And probably 20, 20, 22 years ago, the state authorized counties to combine those two, what used to be two political units. You elected a coroner and you also elected a sheriff. And they allowed them to combine them for efficiency. So it's cheaper, but the biggest issue was, there was all across the state, there were tons of bad things happening within coroner's bureaus where people were having property stolen,

• 1:01:41Speaker 03

  watches stolen, jewelry stolen, investigations were getting botched, things like that. And because they're not cops, they actually don't have the ability to do in-depth investigations, death investigations. So it's natural to combine law enforcement and a coroner's office because it's, now you have the same people doing the investigations. My God, I mean, that's what we do. That's the biggest investigation we can do is a death investigation, a murder investigation. So, right now, they're trying to separate that only because, even though counties don't want it, they want a bill that it's almost gonna force them to do it. And it's only to limit the power of the sheriff. Because they figured out in COVID that the sheriff cannot be controlled.

• 1:02:25Speaker 03

  Police chiefs can be controlled politically. They can be fired today.

• 1:02:29Patrick Bet-David?

  But sheriff, you guys get elected.

• 1:02:31Speaker 03

  And yeah, if you want me out, it's every four years. Every four years, you can unelect me. But there's also bills, we fight them every year, they want sheriffs elected in California. They want to change the Constitution to say that we're not going to elect our sheriffs anymore, we're going to appoint them, let the Board of Supervisors, a political board, appoint the top law enforcement officer. And that's why we have it in the Constitution, because you don't want politics involved in law enforcement.

• 1:03:00Patrick Bet-David?

  What's your interaction been with Newsom? Have you had any?

• 1:03:03Speaker 03

  Zero.

• 1:03:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Zero interaction with Newsom?

• 1:03:05Speaker 03

  Zero.

• 1:03:06Patrick Bet-David?

  He hasn't called you, he hasn't paid you a visit?

• 1:03:08Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:03:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that normal?

• 1:03:10Speaker 03

  Absolutely not. It's never been, it's never been normal through, through what any sheriff can remember. And you have to remember, there's like, two, three, four back sheriffs that are still alive, that still come to our meetings, and they've never experienced anything like this. So as far as anybody can remember, governors always come to our meetings. We have meetings every two months, all the sheriffs in the state. And the governor was always present, or if the governor couldn't make it, he would send a representative to either get feedback from us, you know, that dialogue. And we, it's all across the state. So our meetings, we, we rotate all across the state.

• 1:03:50Patrick Bet-David?

  So historically, the governor of California would visit that meeting that you guys had every other month with the sheriff?

• 1:03:55Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:03:55Patrick Bet-David?

  How many total sheriffs does California have?

• 1:03:57Speaker 03

  Fifty-eight.

• 1:03:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Fifty-eight?

• 1:03:58Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:03:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, historically, it happens, how often is he at these meetings?

• 1:04:02Speaker 03

  Zero. He's never met with sheriffs. So when I started this campaign, that came out, that we have a, we have a governor who does not engage with the number one issue that people care about in California, and that's law enforcement. He and his decisions with our prisons are destroying our county jails, but yet he won't meet with us. The, the laws that he is signing into place that are allowing criminal activity to flourish in California, he won't meet with us to discuss them. The bills that are, that are going through, that we try and get to him, because we know where they're gonna pass, and they're gonna be on his desk, so we try and meet with him, so we can tell them the consequences, the negative consequences, if he signs this bill.

• 1:04:46Speaker 03

  He absolutely refuses to meet with us. So, when I brought this up, after I started running... for this position, I made a comment on a, on a show, on a news show. And that went completely viral because no one can believe that the governor doesn't have a relationship with law enforcement. And so he reached out to a small handful of sheriffs and said, come have a meeting with me. They went, they, they arrived at his office. They said it was the biggest waste of time in the world, but all he did it for is to, so I can't say he's never met with us. Because he did meet one time where he called five of them. It wasn't the leadership. I mean, we have,

• 1:05:30Speaker 03

  currently, I'm the president of our Sheriff's Association in California. He's not going to reach out to me. He didn't reach out to the president at the time, or any of the board, the board of directors. He's hand-selected who he thought were going to be favorable to his position, which they're not. I mean, we have Democrats, we have Democrat sheriffs. They're supporting me. They're not supporting anybody else.

• 1:05:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I just pulled it up right now. What percentage of sheriffs in California are Democrats and Republicans? It says roughly thirty-five to forty-five lean Republican, ten to twenty lean Democrat. Does that sound about right? That sounds about right.

• 1:06:06Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:06:07Patrick Bet-David?

  And even the Democrats, I'm assuming it's not leftists. It's more center-leftist Democrats.

• 1:06:12Speaker 03

  Absolutely.

• 1:06:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Are there any leftist sheriffs?

• 1:06:14Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:06:16Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:06:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Is it possible to be a leftist sheriff?

• 1:06:19Speaker 03

  Not in California, because if you're a, if you're a leftist, you're anti-law enforcement. You're anti-public safety. That's just an absolute fact.

• 1:06:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Have they tried to campaign around somebody that would bring the leftist policies in as, as a sheriff?

• 1:06:33Speaker 03

  Yes, and they've even gone further. So my election used to be on the governor's cycle. In the, the midterms is when every sheriff in the state was elected at the same time. Our elections were all on the governor's cycle, which is right now. So in 2022, they tried to change it because, and they specifically said, and it was joked in Sacramento, it's the Bianco Law. Because of COVID, what I did with COVID, and then other sheriffs across the state started standing up too. They figured out we can't control the sheriffs. We need to get those people out. We need to get those, the right wing, the Republican sheriffs out. And so in California, they said that, and it's not even close, far more Democrats come

• 1:07:18Speaker 03

  out to vote for the presidential election than the governor election. It's just a numbers thing. So if you go back in history, more people show up for a presidential election, and they vote Democrat. So they changed the law in California of when my election was going to be, and they moved it to the presidential cycle, which it should have been in the 2024 election. But we immediately sued because it's, we're in the Constitution. It's a, it's a four-year term that people elect us to. And the judge ruled that you can't shrink our constitutionally elected term, so they had to add two years to it.

• 1:08:00Speaker 03

  So my 2022 election should have ended in 2026, but it really ends in 2028 now, which really, that's the only reason why, that allowed me to run, because I would never give up my position as sheriff and run for governor instead of a sheriff election. So they are trying to, they are actively trying to get rid of Republican, pro-public safety sheriffs, just like DAs, just like they're trying to get very leftist DAs elected so they don't prosecute crime anymore. They don't want conservative Republican sheriffs because we're trying to keep people

• 1:08:45Speaker 03

  safe and we were combating criminals. And they, there's, there's an enabling of criminals in California.

• 1:08:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, the, the DNA of a sheriff. Is, I don't know what sport, if they were to do a, you know, survey to see what sports sheriffs played, they probably played defensive coordinator, they probably played defense football, you know, probably good, you know, infielders who are preventing the guy from scoring because it's the defensive protecting mentality, right? You almost have to, you got few kids, right? One of the kids is always going to be over, like I got one of my kids, super protective. The other one is chill, but one of them is super protective. God forbid you do something, it's in the instinct. So it's kind of hard to get the instinct of a liberal to have the

• 1:09:38Patrick Bet-David?

  true instinct of a protector. It's a, it's a different mindset they have than, than a true protector. And I would assume those are the guys that would want to become sheriffs. But you're fighting against the rest that are, you know, teachers, that become teachers, union, California, those guys are like the mob, the amount of power and control they have. And they don't like people like you.

• 1:10:01Speaker 03

  No, not at all. And then even, even the elected officials, if you look at a lot of our elected officials, they never had, they didn't have jobs to begin with outside of politics. They got out of college, they got in, they were a staffer for somebody, they did that for several years, then got on a local elected board and then progressed through that, and then now they're just career politicians. There, there are not too many Democrats in California that were, that were successful business people that decided they were going to now run for political office. They were attorneys that never practiced law, that went to law school and then got into politics. It's.

• 1:10:41Patrick Bet-David?

  You live in California, so you see a lot of this stuff. 2028 is around the corner. Newsom's going to be one of the candidates. A lot of people say he's the leading guy. I think AOC is going to be competitive as well. There's a lot of other names that are coming up. What do you know about Newsom that the rest of America doesn't know that they should?

• 1:10:56Speaker 03

  He's a lying fraud. Everyone in California knows that.

• 1:11:01Speaker 03

  There, I mean, he gets up and he goes on these podcasts, or he goes across, does a tour across the states, and talks to town halls or something in other states, and talks about California, and it's like, what is he talking about? That's not what we are, that's not who we are, that isn't even what life is like here. But he is, and he's good. I will tell you this, I don't like him at all. He is a very disingenuous, dishonest narcissist. But, there might not be a better politician. He is a talker, he can talk his way out of anything, and, and he's good at it. So I have to give him that. He's definitely a fantastic politician.

• 1:11:46Speaker 03

  But, I'm hoping that people are sick and tired of politicians. There's nothing he says is true. I mean, when he, when he, when he says that he's lowering homeless in California, I mean, where? When he says how, you know, what a great job San Francisco was, that he cleaned up San Francisco, where? One weekend, just because you went in and you moved them all to the outside, hosed down the streets so you could let the Chinese president drive through, and then it tried to make China think, and then the rest of the country think, that San Francisco was okay again? It wasn't. The next weekend, it was back to trash. It, it's, he's just completely dishonest.

• 1:12:25Patrick Bet-David?

  How would you fix homelessness's problem? I mean, this guy had $24 billion, and I couldn't do it.

• 1:12:30Speaker 03

  Very easy. It's, well, there's no intent. The people who we call homeless, what we see on the street, living on our sidewalks, living under overpasses, they are nothing but pawns in this homeless industrial complex money laundering scheme. That's all it is. There is, the money gets distributed to nonprofits and NGOs, and it stops one or two levels down. It doesn't get down to here where the homeless are, where they're suffering. They don't care about them. They are nothing but pawns, and if you really look into it, where that money is going, they have, they call them body brokers, to travel the country, bring people into Los Angeles, into, so they can milk their medical, their Medicare and everything else. And as soon as it's done, they just kick them out the door, and now they're living on the street.

• 1:13:15Speaker 03

  And that's a business because they're getting money for their nonprofits. They're also milking the medical industry, the medical system for all of that money. And they're just a pawn and they don't care about those people. I honestly care about them. I actually can have honest conversations with them and get them to talk. They're still regular people. Most of them are on drugs. Most of them have a mental health condition, probably caused by drugs or at least exacerbated by drugs. But you can still have conversations with them. They're whacked out sometimes. You can't be afraid of them. And that's what all of these politicians are. They're not having conversations with them. They're real people that had families or have families that they haven't seen their families in 10 years, 15 years, because they had to leave.

• 1:14:00Speaker 03

  They got kicked out of their family because of the issues that they had. So we're just going to address it for what it is, and it's certainly not homes. Stop calling it homes. It's drug and alcohol abuse. It's mental illness. It's drug and alcohol induced psychosis. It's mental illness that is exacerbated by drugs. So you have to address the drug problem. You have to address the mental health problem. And then if you want a tiny little bit of proof, and this is not proof, but this is a cop looking at everything in totality, saying it doesn't make sense. The year before they legalized drugs in California, 2014, 2013, they passed a law that said you can't treat mental health and drug abuse at the same time. Then they made drugs legal.

• 1:14:44Speaker 03

  And then if you go back to 2014 and you look at the numbers in California for homeless, it's always constant until 2014, when drugs became legal. That graph goes straight up at a 45 degree angle. And it's not going to stop because it's purposely being made. So you have to end the drug and alcohol problem, the forcing them onto the streets with the mental health problems. And we thought we were going to be successful with Prop 36 because that changed Prop 47 back in 2014. And it was going to allow us the ability again to get them into drug and alcohol treatment centers. Newsom won't fund it. He won't give us the money for the drug and alcohol treatment centers. He won't give us the funding for the mental health treatment centers. So now we're just stuck.

• 1:15:29Speaker 03

  So 70% of the state, every single county, 70% of the state voted for this, for a change in direction of public safety for mental health, drug and alcohol, and theft. And Newsom and the legislature will not give us the money for it. It's going to be very easy. You stop all of the money that's going to these NGOs and the nonprofits. You use a small portion of that for the capacity to treat these people with drug and alcohol treatment centers, mental health treatment centers. And this is, this is the big one. It's that one that does both. Because if I, as a cop, go out and find somebody and they've hit rock bottom and we say, hey, can I get you some help? There's a center I can get you in. And they say, yes, I, yes, I'm at rock bottom. I need help. We take them in.

  ...to that treatment center for drugs. And one of the intake questions is, have you ever suffered a mental health condition, treated for a mental health condition? And if they say yes, they can't treat them. They just kick them out the door. The system has been set up like this. So when you treat it for what it is, we are going to fix it. And I guarantee you, it can be eliminated. What we see in California with the people living in the sidewalks, people living underneath overpasses and in parks, two years, two years max, it will be eliminated.

• 1:18:59Patrick Bet-David?

  So if that's the case, and let's just say all these arguments you're making, Sibelis Hilton, both, Republican arguments, conservative arguments, why are not more people in the state of California supporting this? Why is a Becerra still leading you that if we combine all of them and put it around one Democrat, why are polls saying Becerra's gonna win and the number two is Steyer? Why?

• 1:19:21Speaker 03

  I don't believe they are. Why is Newsom and the Democrat Party in California, why are they all panicking right now about getting shut out of this election? They're panicking, even Newsom, about two Republicans going to November. And that's why they're trying to, I mean, he's got his, I mean, they, their, his break the glass moment, or whatever they're going to do, they're trying to, they're trying to bribe, I'm sure bribe, the lower candidates to, for them to drop out and get behind Becerra so they can make sure that Becerra, they don't want Steyer either. They want to get behind Becerra, so they, Becerra's controllable, so you get Becerra in there. If all of that was, if the polls were true,

• 1:20:05Speaker 03

  why are they so worried? Because that certainly isn't what that poll says, because they know what the real polls say. We have, we have a better chance in California right now, in the environment that we're in, that Steve and I going to November than two Democrats.

• 1:20:22Patrick Bet-David?

  That you and Steve going to November than two Democrats?

• 1:20:25Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:20:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, you know that's not gonna happen. You know why that's not gonna happen? There's a difference between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. And the Republican Party, everybody could have called Curtis Lee what to step out. He didn't do it. Everybody. And he stayed till the very end. And maybe that hurt Cuomo, maybe it didn't, but he definitely had some votes that could have gone to a different person, right? On the Democratic Party, they just have to make a phone call, and you better listen. It's a very different wiring they have.

• 1:20:58Speaker 03

  It is for sure.

• 1:20:59Patrick Bet-David?

  So they call Katie, Katie will have to step out, or also her career is over with. You guys don't need each other. Republicans are like, screw Steve, I don't need Steve, because Steve, screw Chad, I don't, screw this guy, I don't need this guy. But the Democrats, they desperately need each other.

• 1:21:13Speaker 03

  I agree with you, except California's in a little different spot with those candidates. Katie doesn't need politics right now. Katie's a college professor. She's doing fine. She doesn't need to get back into politics. Antonio V. Ragosa is doing fine. He's doing fine. These, Mahan is doing fine. I mean, Mahan is a politician that's young, that they're going to try and mold, so they'll be able to control him and tell him to drop out. But that's who the big money wanted anyway, and it's just bizarre that they didn't get it. They, they couldn't get him, they did it too late. They got him in too late, and they weren't able to, to get his name out there, yeah.

• 1:21:54Speaker 03

  So they'll be able to control him, but they can't control the other two, because they don't care. There was not an heir apparent in California because of Newsom. Newsom's failed leadership, his narcissist in his ego, nobody's as good as him. Nobody compares to him, just ask him. So he didn't bring anybody up behind him. There's no heir apparent. That's why it's all in shambles. And then I guess there's an argument that the whole Democrat Party across the country is like that. But it certainly is in California. And what you still have to remember in California, it's only 43% are Democrats.

• 1:22:36Speaker 03

  That means that 57% are not. So it's not, I mean, we keep convincing people to just don't vote, saying you don't have a chance. And the reality is 40 to 60% of California doesn't vote. And that is just a fact. And if we would all get out and vote, when you travel the state, we are a conservative state. Normal people are conservative.

• 1:23:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Out of the last 100 years, 61 years of it was a Republican governor.

• 1:23:04Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:23:05Patrick Bet-David?

  The average person doesn't know that.

• 1:23:06Speaker 03

  It's been a psychological warfare game in politics to convince people to do what they want you to do.

• 1:23:15Patrick Bet-David?

  They've had controls in a lot of the different, you know, sections of it, legislative, 43 to 9, you know.

• 1:23:22Speaker 03

  But a lot of it right now is cheating. So a conservative, even mail-in ballots, there are conservatives that say, "I'm never voting by mail" because they're designed for cheating. "So I'm not participating in your system." So then they wait till Election Day. And then on Election Day, when they look at the polls and see they have no chance of winning, they just don't show up. This is by design. This is why I'm doing this, to blow up this system and fix this system because it's Californians who are being punished.

• 1:23:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, in a big way.

• 1:23:55Speaker 03

  In the name of activism.

• 1:23:56Patrick Bet-David?

  It's funny because while you guys are doing your thing, you got Spencer Pratt also making a lot of noise. How often do you communicate with him? What do you think about what he's doing?

• 1:24:04Speaker 03

  I text him every once in a while. I think he's doing a good job. I hope he's able to reach enough people. I think that where people are in Los Angeles, they've been abused for so long. I hope that he's able to show... How dishonest they are. Karen Bass. I mean, you're talking about MacArthur Park, where they're making a big deal of MacArthur. MacArthur Park has been trash for decades. And she didn't want to do anything about it, and then she's surprised, or she says they're working on it when they do that big raid and going, and it's like, it was just a short time ago that she said how great MacArthur Park was, and that ICE was destroying it.

• 1:24:45Speaker 03

  But the reality is, it's her drug policies, it's her homeless policies, and they just allow that to happen. She has 50 square blocks of homeless, that they just call Skid Row, and then somehow, they've made that normal in our heads. Well, it's Skid Row. It's 50 square blocks of people living on the sidewalk, living in the street, in squalor, their skin's rotting, and they're dying, and nobody cares. Tell me how that, tell me how we have come to that place in society, and it's because of politics. They're pawns. Every single year, they talk about they're going to, they're gonna, they're gonna put more money toward

• 1:25:28Speaker 03

  the homeless. We're gonna get more affordable housing. It's all purposely not affordable. It's purposely forcing them onto the street so they can keep that money going. And we know, they've already, they've already showed the links of these people that are getting the majority of this money on how they donate to the same causes. The money is, a portion of that money is going back into the election coffers of these people that are in these positions.

• 1:25:54Patrick Bet-David?

  What is this, Rob, that you have in MacArthur Park?

• 1:25:57Speaker 07

  This was a post from two days ago where a gentleman died on the sidewalk after they were trying to revive him. They spent 35 minutes trying to respond to revive him, suspected drug overdose.

• 1:26:09Patrick Bet-David?

  I, what, can you press show more?

• 1:26:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Fire responders will do everything they're being

• 1:26:16Speaker 03

  That's the last sentence is the most important.

• 1:26:19Patrick Bet-David?

  This is no longer shock in Los Angeles.

• 1:26:22Speaker 03

  Okay, so I was driving down to do a, I was gonna spend the day at Skid Row. So we're driving down to go to the LAPD Police Precinct. We're driving down the street. On the sidewalk is a dead lady. She's laying there dead. There's police tape just around her, just to get it on the sidewalk. And everybody just walking around her like it's okay. It's just normal. It's just another dead person. And so we're driving down and I'm like, and so we got to the police station and we're like, do you think that lady's dead? And so we get to the police station. I'm like, we think there's a dead, and they're like, oh yeah, she's dead.

• 1:27:02Speaker 03

  And it's business as usual with a dead woman on the sidewalk. And that right there, what that's, that last statement was, is this is just normal now. This has become a way of life in Los Angeles. And that's not how it's supposed to be. But it is what's been driven because of horrific, horrific policy, government policy. And then the thing about Steve and I, and what we're even talking about is you can't blame it on anything other than Democrat policy. Because Democrats in California run everything. Democrats completely run our education system. We're failing. We're the worst in the country. They completely run state government, super majority in state government. They can do anything they want.

• 1:27:46Speaker 03

  If they wanted that gas tax removed, they could do it today. If they wanted houses to be cheaper to be built, they could do it today. It's an agenda. It's an ideological agenda of making California less populated. That's why they don't care that six years in a row, people are fleeing California. Any other state, if they have a net migration out, they panic. And they try and remove it and fix it. And, and how can we keep them here?

• 1:28:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Not California.

• 1:28:12Speaker 03

  California is purposely forcing everyone out. They don't want your businesses there because you have jobs. They don't want jobs there. They want people going somewhere else. They can't have starter homes for kids coming out of College because they want less population. So the only homes being built are for older people that can afford the million dollar home. Or the 1.4 million dollar home. There are no 250,000 dollar homes being built. There's no 500,000 dollar homes being built. Because they don't want that generation to be able to afford a home. Tell them to move to another state. It's it's an it's an ideological agenda that's being controlled by regulation. Environmentalists control the regulatory.

• 1:28:53Speaker 03

  Cycles of California and but the the good thing is. All the regular every single regulation can be signed away by the governor. Every single regulation. It's not a law. Nobody voted on it.

• 1:29:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:29:05Speaker 03

  And the governor has the power to remove them. And the regulatory probably 60 to 70% of the major issues. For us in California. Come from the regulatory. Environment. And we can stop them all on day one. The big issue with this election is. It's not. I mean, Steve's saying the same things I'm saying. I'm saying a little bit bolder. I want to do away with all income tax. He wants it just for 100,000 and and below. I want nobody to pay income tax. Why? Why are there 10 states that are doing really well right now that don't have an income tax? Why do we have the highest? It's it's just that's how it's set up. And then it makes it volatile because now they're all leaving. One of the issues with tax in in California. 140,000 people.

• 1:29:51Speaker 03

  The top 140,000 people pay 52% of the taxes in California. So if those hundred, think of how easy it would be for those 140 people, 140,000 people. To decide that they're just going to leave. They could leave next week. And then the state fails. Because it's it's it's almost like a house of cards that's been set up.

• 1:30:13Patrick Bet-David?

  And they're thinking about it. So it's not like they're not thinking about they're not entertaining the idea of leaving. They're literally.

• 1:30:18Speaker 03

  We're all thinking about it.

• 1:30:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Exactly.

• 1:30:19Speaker 03

  Yeah. So. When you remove that. When you create an environment where now California is business friendly, then the businesses come back. When you create an environment where. We'll utilize all of our own oil instead of buying it from other places, making them rich, then you get the benefit of that revenue for the state.

• 1:30:38Patrick Bet-David?

  The fact that you guys buy oil from Iraq.

• 1:30:41Speaker 03

  It's crazy.

• 1:30:42Patrick Bet-David?

  How the hell, the average person doesn't know that.

• 1:30:44Speaker 03

  No, no, they don't. And that, but that's what people are finding out now. So the issue that we have in California right now in this election, if we don't win this election, if a Republican doesn't win this election, I don't know if we'll ever be able to win another election in California, because I don't know if it can get worse.

• 1:31:02Patrick Bet-David?

  No, I, I, you know, typically in every campaign, people say this is a consequential election, all this other stuff. It's just, the longer you take to bring a Republican in, their claws get deeper. And the deeper it gets, the more control of the whole thing they have. So, the reality of it is for long-term people who are willing to move, they're fine. Cause they can go to Nevada, they can go to Texas, they can go to Florida. But there are Angelenos and Californians that don't want to leave California.

• 1:31:32Speaker 03

  Right.

• 1:31:33Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, you, you, you're either part of the mamas and papas California dreaming, or you're part of Tupac, you know, California knows how to party, or, you know, even Biggie going, going back to LA. There's all these songs about California, LA. The, the, the history is so rich, it's such a beautiful place. So the people that love it and they gotta fight for it, they have to get involved. So if the average person, average person's watching this running, oh god, forget about it, there's nothing I can do. Find a way to go support. You, you gotta, if, if you're not leaving your state, you better get involved in politics.

• 1:32:10Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:32:10Patrick Bet-David?

  If you're not planning on leaving California, you better get involved in you, cause we got a lot of people from California that watch the podcast. If you have no desire to leave, I've been selling Florida, Texas, Tennessee, you know, uh, Nevada, but if you're like, there's no way I'm leaving, well then guess what? Get out there and get involved. Whether it's yourself or Hilton or whoever it is, the, the idea is get involved, gets, get behind a candidate.

• 1:32:35Speaker 03

  And that, that's my argument for this, is we know we have to get a Republican to win. And my opinion, obviously Steve's gonna differ, I think he's wrong, I wouldn't have got in this if I didn't think I was the only person to win. I enjoy my job, I think I have a better job than being governor. Currently, I'm the only one that's going to win this election in November. This election isn't about June. This is about November. The Democrat Party for a year has not been raising money to fight Steve Hilton. They've been raising money to fight Chad Bianco.

• 1:33:07Speaker 03

  The Democrat Party is putting these polls out to get Steve Hilton to go to November, not Chad Bianco, because they know that Steve has a zero, zero possibility of winning a statewide election in California. None. Everyone knows that in California, except Steve. We can't convince Steve.

• 1:33:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Why do you say that?

• 1:33:27Speaker 03

  He has nothing to offer Californians. So typically, they're going to vote more blue or more middle. We absolutely know that. For me to win in November, I have to get all the Republicans to vote for me, the majority of the independents, and then 20%, 15% to 20% Democrats are going to have to cross party lines and vote for a Republican if I'm going to win in November. And it would be Steve also. He's, he needs the same numbers. So currently for November, and, and obviously it may change, but right now I have the, the endorsement of the Independent Party. So the middle of the road party is on my side. So I have the middle of the road. I have the Republican. How am I going to get 20% of the Democrats?

• 1:34:12Speaker 03

  And it's through public safety. It's those middle of the road Democrats that are tired of the corruption. They're tired of the crime. They are tired of their businesses being looted. They're tired of all of that and they know they need a different direction in California. And that's who we have coming to the campaign. That's why Democrats don't want me in November. On Steve's side, and this is not personal to Steve, it's just the environment. And it's, it's even not personal to Chad, because they're voting for Sheriff Chad Bianco. They're voting for the idea of a sheriff, the ethical, honest leader, to go in and fix government, fix the crime, fix the corruption, make changes. Be honest, all of those things, outside of what politics is. Steve is nothing but politics.

• 1:34:58Speaker 03

  He wants to convince people he's a businessman. Where's the business? There is no business that he's ever pointing to to say, "Look at my successful business." He's politics. But when he talks, he makes mistakes all the time and refers back to politics all the time. He's always been in politics. It was England politics. And then he moved to California. And this is the problem where he's going to be with even Republicans. There are going to be Republicans that are just not going to show up to vote for Steve Hilton. Because they don't believe he's a Republican. Five years ago, he was saying he's not a Republican. He was anti-Trump. He wants, for a business owner, he wants a livable wage. He doesn't want minimum wage anymore. He wants a livable wage.

• 1:35:40Speaker 03

  So there is no movement going to come towards Steve Hilton that's going to draw people out to vote for him. And here's what he has going for him the worst. President Trump ran three times in California. And he lost 60-40 each time. You look at this last election, people did not vote for Kamala Harris because they thought she was competent enough to be the president. They voted anti-Donald Trump. So now you have Steve Hilton running in November, who is a Fox News host, which is the only thing equal or slightly less than Donald Trump, supported by Donald Trump. There is no Democrat, and probably a whole lot of independents and maybe some Republicans, are going to vote for Steve Hilton because of Fox News and Donald Trump.

• 1:36:25Speaker 03

  And it's unfortunate for him, but we have to look at how we're going to win this election in November. That's why Democrats don't want me in... The Democrat machine doesn't want me in November.

• 1:39:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, respect. They, they look, they're the OGs.

• 1:39:55Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:39:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, baseball. You, you played baseball. You came from Utah. I think you were playing at a tournament in California. You said you have to eventually move to California.

• 1:40:03Speaker 03

  I was 11 when I did that. Little League World Series in Santa Monica. And when I went home, and you don't know this about me, but at that time in my life, there was nothing that came out of my mouth that wasn't baseball. My, my whole childhood growing up, my, my dream was Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. So when I was 11, going out to play in the Little League World Series, I mean, it's all about baseball. When I got home, I couldn't tell my parents one single thing about baseball. I knew we lost, but I couldn't remember anything. I knew what the beach looked like. I knew what it smelled like. I knew what Santa Monica streets looked like. I knew what the parks looked like. I, I was at 11 years old.

• 1:40:42Patrick Bet-David?

  What year was this?

• 1:40:43Speaker 03

  Uh, that would have been 1979.

• 1:40:47Patrick Bet-David?

  When, when you came to California. I love it.

• 1:40:49Speaker 03

  To play in that World Series.

• 1:40:50Patrick Bet-David?

  And then you went back, you're like, I gotta find.

• 1:40:51Speaker 03

  I went home and I told my parents I'm moving to California.

• 1:40:54Patrick Bet-David?

  At what age did you move to California?

• 1:40:56Speaker 03

  21.

• 1:40:58Patrick Bet-David?

  And then what did you like?

• 1:40:58Speaker 03

  When I was 21, I, I got, see, that's, that's a California dream. I came out here, I got a job in construction. I worked for a roofing company, putting roofs on houses, and within a year, I bought my first house.

• 1:41:12Speaker 03

  That's not possible now.

• 1:41:13Patrick Bet-David?

  No, 906 is the average price point right now.

• 1:41:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, that is just not possible, but I had that, that's just my generation. My kids now don't have that ability. And that's, that's really, that's the what happened. It wasn't me that did it. I mean, it wasn't you as a business owner that did it. It wasn't the people of California that did it. It was those 130 people in that building in Sacramento, in our Capitol building. 130 people, they're the ones doing it. And we can go in and we can change it. We can take it back because nothing really broke in California, other than the policy.

• 1:41:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, that's, that, that's the part that's gotta get addressed. Baseball continuing.

• 1:41:50Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:41:51Patrick Bet-David?

  I know you told me Ryan Sandberg was your guy, right? As a second baseman. When you moved to LA, who do you root for?

• 1:41:56Speaker 03

  Wow, you're, you're, you're killing me in California. I root for the Angels and the Dodgers because they're right there and it's.

• 1:42:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Who was your favorite player? Like California, if you've been there, who do you like in California? Who's your favorite Dodger? Who's your favorite Angel? Are you a Tim Salmon guy?

• 1:42:10Speaker 03

  I'm a Kiki, I'm a Kiki fan. The.

• 1:42:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Kiki fan?

• 1:42:14Speaker 03

  Kiki Hernandez.

• 1:42:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Stud.

• 1:42:16Speaker 03

  That's why I'm a fan. I, I don't, I will, I will tell you that even throughout history, even Ryan Sandberg, it wasn't that the Cubs were my favorite team. It was individuals. So that my favorite team is the Yankees.

• 1:42:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 1:42:28Speaker 03

  So growing up, I wanted to be a Yankee. And everybody that played baseball, eventually you want to be a Yankee.

• 1:42:35Patrick Bet-David?

  That's right.

• 1:42:35Speaker 03

  So that I'm still a Yankees fan. But in California, I, I have to be an Angels fan, a Dodgers fan. We're a little bit away from San Diego, a little bit away from San Francisco, so in Oakland. So those are still there.

• 1:42:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Give me a unique fun fact about you people don't know.

• 1:42:49Speaker 03

  A fun fact?

• 1:42:50Patrick Bet-David?

  A fun fact people don't know. Fun fact people don't know. Fun fact.

• 1:42:54Speaker 03

  Grief.

• 1:42:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Come on. Come on, I'm, I'm trying to get people to see the humane side of Chad Bianco. Give me a fun fact about you.

• 1:43:02Speaker 03

  Well, the real side, this is what people probably wouldn't even believe because of the persona that I have in these debates and everything else. I cry at commercials. Commercials make me cry. I like, I, I like watching, you, you're talking about movies and everything else. I've got my five-year-old granddaughters sitting at the TV, watching whatever it is they're watching, and Denise will tell me to stop watching it. It's like, I'm, I'm, I'm watching that, the emotional little princess is on screen.

• 1:43:28Patrick Bet-David?

  That's right.

• 1:43:29Speaker 03

  It's, it's a, and, and I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, if it was always there and I was just suppressing it, but I, unfortunately, sometimes I, I can be a little emotional.

• 1:43:38Patrick Bet-David?

  How many?

• 1:43:38Speaker 03

  I have a big heart.

• 1:43:40Patrick Bet-David?

  October 8th, right? October 8th, yeah. October 8th is your birthday. You're a Libra. So, how many grandkids?

• 1:43:45Speaker 03

  Five.

• 1:43:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Five grandkids?

• 1:43:46Speaker 03

  We have two five-year-old girls. And it's interesting because my, my boy, one of my boys, had a girl. Three months later, my daughter has a girl. Then my other boy-

• 1:43:57Patrick Bet-David?

  That's so cool.

• 1:43:57Speaker 03

  -has a boy. And then three months later, my daughter has another boy.

• 1:44:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Stop it.

• 1:44:02Speaker 03

  So I've got two five-year-old girls, two two-year-old boys, and now my other boy had another girl. So we've got a brand-new baby daughter.

• 1:44:10Patrick Bet-David?

  That is so, what a, so busy.

• 1:44:12Speaker 03

  We've got a, it's a good-

• 1:44:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Is everybody in California?

• 1:44:15Speaker 03

  No. I have one in North Carolina. He's in the Army. So he's in North Car- He is.

• 1:44:21Patrick Bet-David?

  82nd.

• 1:44:21Speaker 03

  He's in Special Forces.

• 1:44:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, good for him.

• 1:44:24Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:44:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, thank him for his service.

• 1:44:26Speaker 03

  I will thank him. We're proud of him.

• 1:44:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, you know, that, that's the part of our life, right? To find out and see where we are with policies and then find out the human side. You know, at the end of the day, we're all human beings. We're all, you know, trying to make the best of what we have and find a way to make the current situation better based on values that make societies better, the country better, and keep America as the greatest country in the world. Uh, any final thoughts before we wrap up?

• 1:44:55Speaker 03

  Now, I, I hope that people are wising up in California. I believe they are. This has been a 16 months of a, of a massive grassroots effort throughout California, meeting people, business owners, our farming and our ag community, all of that. And I, I truly do believe that this is gonna be a change. This is where Californians are finally standing up and they're, we see now that they're even coming to the polls, they're showing up, they're gonna, people are telling me, you know, my age and older, they've never voted in their life, but they're gonna vote this year and they, they, they hope I make it, they, they gotta get me in there. So, that's, that's the point where we are. We, I, I hope that people are doing that. But the reality of California is, if you, if you want something different, you gotta do something different.

• 1:45:41Speaker 03

  And if you, you either have to vote differently, you have to support candidates that you have never done in your life, you've never given money to a political- We can't win campaigns without money. And especially in California, you look at the money that's spent by Democrats compared to Republicans. That's unfortunately why we lose. I've been traveling the state for 16 months. You can't get to every part of the state. It's massive. It is huge. And to say that you're going to physically get out and talk to everybody, you can't. You have to do it with money through advertising and everything else.

• 1:46:13Patrick Bet-David?

  It's very true. So is there a website? Is there a website for people to go to?

• 1:46:17Speaker 03

  Yes, biancoforgovernor.com and all of the social media platforms, Sheriff Chad Bianco.

• 1:46:24Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the website. Rob, let's put the link below. Folks, if you feel compelled to go support, go to biancoforgovernor.com. And outside of that, a social link we'll put below as well. Support financially, definitely whatever you're doing if you're a Californian, do go support this year and vote. With that being said, thank you so much for it.

• 1:46:48Speaker 03

  I finish with one thing that I should have said when you asked me before.

• 1:46:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, of course.

• 1:46:52Speaker 03

  This is what I want everyone in California to realize. I'm never going to jump up and down and say, I won this for the Republican Party. I turned the state red. Of course, I'm running as a Republican and I'm going to win for Republicans, but I'm also winning for Democrats. And I'm also winning for independents. This is not about party for me, and this is not about party. I'm the only candidate that's not about party. I'm doing this and I decided to do this and the entire time I've been doing it only for Californians. And if you are a Californian that wants a better life, a different life, I'm truly the only one that you can pick from.

• 1:47:25Patrick Bet-David?

  There you go. Sheriff Bianco. Take care, everybody. Bye bye, bye bye.

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side.
