California has the highest cost of living, crushing taxes, growing homelessness, and a government that seems addicted to regulation and spending. Sheriff Chad Bianco says the “California Dream” is slipping away — and he’s running for Governor to bring it back.
In this episode of Life Lessons with Dr. Bob, Sheriff Bianco lays out a blunt law-and-order case for why the state is failing — and what he says it will take to reverse course: cutting red tape, making California business-friendly again, confronting the homelessness crisis with treatment that actually works, and restoring public safety as the state’s first responsibility. He also addresses attacks and "controversies" surrounding his record and explains why he can win as a Republican in the histroricly blue California.
In this conversation, they break down:
⚪Why Bianco says California’s policies are driving people and businesses out
⚪Homelessness, mental illness, and the “homeless industrial complex”
⚪Taxes, regulation, and why housing costs are so high
⚪Sanctuary-state law (SB 54) and the real-world public-safety effects he argues it creates
⚪COVID-era enforcement: masks, closures, and public trust
⚪How he plans to win independents — and even some Democrats
