Riverside County Sheriff and gubernatorial candidate Chad Bianco has had enough of the radical left’s stranglehold on California.

In a blunt and unapologetic interview with Real America’s Voice, Bianco unloaded on Governor Gavin Newsom, vowing to expose him as a fraud and stop his ambitions of taking California’s failed model nationwide.

The sheriff-turned-candidate slammed California’s one-party rule, calling it the root cause of the state’s spiraling problems.

Despite boasting the fourth-largest economy in the world, Bianco argued that California’s success is nothing more than an illusion artificially propped up by government manipulation.

Instead of being admired, California has become a cautionary tale. Once the envy of the nation, Bianco says the state is now “the laughing stock of the world.”

Sheriff Chad Bianco:
“My message is, Gavin Newsom, I am going to expose you for the complete fraud that you are, the liar that you are, and you will never, ever be the President of this country. You will never do to the rest of the country what you have done to California. California’s problems are completely caused by California government.

We have the greatest businesses. We have the greatest people. We have the greatest business minds, the greatest innovators, the greatest creators, the greatest entrepreneurs in the country. We have the fourth largest economy that is artificially propped up to be something good. And the thing that is preventing us from being great— from achieving that California dream that I once came here for— the only thing preventing us is government.

Government has its boot on our backs, keeping us down with overregulation, activism, appeasement of activists instead of taking care of the majority of Californians as a whole. And it’s an agenda. It is a complete agenda of making sure that government is in control of all of our lives instead of us being in control of government. And so, the only reason I’m doing this is to restore that balance.

The balance is supposed to be that government is supposed to be working for us. We are not supposed to be working to increase the size of government. And that’s the only reason why California is no longer the greatest state in the country. You can have our politicians say it as much as they want, but we are the laughingstock of the rest of the country. We are the laughingstock of the world.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to go to Europe last year, and the first night there, we splurged. We had an unbelievable dinner. We paid for a sommelier to come in and make sure that we learned everything about the Rhine, wine, and all of that stuff. The first introduction is: “Where are you from?” California. And he laughed. He said, “You guys have that crazy governor.”

And we’re just looking at each other like, How would someone across the world know that we have a lunatic for a governor? So we started talking about it, and he’s like, “Everyone wants to go to the United States. And it used to be everyone wants to go to California. Here, no one wants to go to California anymore.”

They’ll go to California for Disneyland. That’s it. And it’s embarrassing. It’s absolutely embarrassing that we are no longer the greatest state in the country. And we’re still all the same people. We’re still all the same businesses. It’s our government that has completely changed and brought us to this laughingstock position. And I’m going to take it back.

I take some blame for it because I wasn’t standing on the rooftops yelling to everyone that we had to stop this—look what’s going to happen. And so, while I was concerned with my career, my life, my family, my own home, and making sure that I was secure, I just wasn’t paying attention to what government was doing. And now it’s affecting everyone.

So I will make sure that what I came to California for—my California dream—I will make sure that every kid growing up now has that dream. And even the kids that now are from 20 to 35, that it’s impossible for them to make their California dream, I’ll make sure that I make up for it. And we return the ability to look at that Gold Coast as the beacon for the rest of the country.

And if you’re going to make it, you come to California to make it, and you work hard and you’ll do it. That has to happen again. And that’s really the only reason I’m running for governor.”

President Trump is hosting a high-stakes meeting with European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this afternoon, following a Bilateral meeting with Zelensky. 

The meetings are focused on securing peace between Ukraine and Russia.

Zelensky was joined at the White House on Monday by several European leaders, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

President Trump and Zelensky spoke to the press earlier for approximately 30 minutes.

Zelensky said during the meeting that what he needs guaranteed in order to make a deal “includes two parts, first, a strong Ukrainian army that I began to discuss with your colleagues, and it’s a lot about weapons, people, training issues, and intelligence.”

He continued, “Second, we will discuss with our partners. It depends on the big countries, on the United States, on a lot of our friends.”

This comes after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, and the two came to an agreement to secure peace, pending Ukraine and NATO cooperation.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump said that he will speak to Putin again after his meetings as he hopes to organize a trilateral meeting with Putin and Zelensky.

The disgraced far-left outlet known as MSNBC has decided that it will try to put some lipstick on a pig to rebrand. Unsurprisingly, social media users have some provocative thoughts.

As the Associated Press reported, MSNBC will be changing its name later this year as part of its corporate divorce from MSNBC. Moreover, it will remove the peacock symbol.

The network will soon be known as My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW. The AP notes that NBC Universal ordered the name change.

In November, NBC Universal spun off cable networks USA, CNBC, MSNBC, E! Entertainment, Oxygen, and the Golf Channel into its own company, Versant. But, on an interesting note, the rest of the outlets spun off will NOT be changing their names.

Yes, even CNBC is keeping its name. So why is MSNBC the exception?

“This was not a decision that was made quickly or without significant debate,” MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler said in a memo to staff obtained by the AP.

“During this time of transition, NBC Universal decided that our brand requires a new, separate identity,” she added. “This decision now allows us to set our own course and assert our independence as we continue to build our own modern news gathering organization.”

Social media users had pretty provocative thoughts on the move, with many comparing it to something related to multiple sclerosis. Others also noted the horrible log.

Sounds like a Multiple Sclerosis Substack

MSNBC is rebranding as MS NOW. Good lord. MSNBC’s brand is so toxic that they won’t even let them use the NBC brand any more.

President Trump on Monday told reporters in the Oval Office that he is planning to call Russian President Vladimir Putin following his meeting with Zelensky, and he hopes to schedule a trilateral peace summit with himself, Putin, and Zelensky.

When asked about his discussions with Putin, Trump revealed that he is “going to have a phone call right after these meetings today.”

He continued, “we may or may not have a trilat.”

“If we have a trilat, there’s a good chance of maybe ending it,” Trump said of the war between Ukraine and Russia.

WATCH:

Reporter: Was there any aspect of your discussion with Vladimir Putin that left you disappointed?

Trump: We just spoke to— I was just telling the President,. I just spoke to President Putin indirectly, and we’re going to have a phone call right after these meetings today, and we may or may not have a trilat. If we don’t have a trilat, then the fighting continues. And if we do, we have a good chance, I think, if we have a trilat, there’s a good chance of maybe ending it. But he’s expecting my call when we’re finished with this meeting. Thank you very much.

This comes after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, and the two came to an agreement to secure peace, pending Ukraine and NATO cooperation.

Following his bilateral meeting with Putin, Trump revealed that he had spoken to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, other European leaders, and Zelensky, and that “It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement.”

President Trump met with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr in the White House on Monday.

Trump will later meet with leaders from NATO and the EU, along with Zelensky, for a follow-up meeting.

President Trump took questions from the press following their talks. Reporter Brian Glenn from Real America’s Voice asked him about his TRUTH Social post from this morning, in which Trump announced he was going to get rid of mail-in voting and electronic election machines.

President Trump told the assembled media, “If you don’t have mail-in ballots, not too many Democrtas will get elected.”

We ALL know that is true!  And redistricting won’t be able to save these cheaters!

Brian Glenn:   We got on social media about doing away with mail-in ballots and potentially electronic voting machines. Can you explain on that?

President Trump:  Well, I will… Just really quickly. Mail-in ballots are corrupt. With mail-in ballots, you can never have a real democracy with mail-in ballots. And we, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we can to get rid of mail-in ballots. We’re going to start with an executive order that’s being written right now by the best lawyers in the country to end mail-in ballots because they’re corrupt.

And you know that we’re the only country in the world, I believe, I may be wrong, but just about the only country in the world that uses it because of what’s happened, massive fraud all over the place.

The other thing we want change are the machines. For all of the money they spend, it’s approximately 10 times more expensive than paper ballots. And paper ballots are very sophisticated with the watermark paper and everything else. We would get secure elections. We’d get much faster results. The machines, they say, We’re going to have the results in two weeks. With paper ballots, you have the results that night.

Most people, many countries use paper ballots. It’s the most secure form. So between paper ballots, very important paper ballots, and I think maybe even more important, the mail-in voting. We’re going to end mail-in voting. It’s a fraud. If you have mail-in, even Jimmy Carter with this commission Mission, they set it up. He said, The one thing about mail-in voting, you will never have an honest election if you have mail-in.

And it’s time that the Republicans get tough and stop it because the Democrats want it. It’s the only way they can get elected. Because with men and women’s sports and with transgender for everybody and open borders and all of the horrible things. And now the new thing is they love crime. They’re fighting me on the fact that I’ve made Washington DC safe. We’re not going get mugged, beaten up or killed like all the people you’ve been watching get so badly hurt. I hate to take your time in this, but I’m glad you asked me that question. We’re going to stop mail-in ballots because it’s corrupt. When you go to a voting booth and you do it the right way and you go to a state that runs it properly, you go in…

…As you know what happens in California, it’s so corrupt, where some people get five, six, seven ballots delivered to them. Now we got to stop mail-in voting, and the Republicans have to lead the charge. The Democrats want it because they have horrible policy. If you don’t have mail-in voting, you’re not going to have many Democrats get elected.
