My Interviews With Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco & Fresno County Supervisor Garry Bredefeld

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sheriff Chad Bianco, welcome. What did it feel like to
kind of get a rockstar treatment? Sheriffs maybe aren't accustomed
to that like that.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah, it was extremely humbling walking into that place. I
was out in the parking lot before with all the
people that couldn't get in, and then when we walked inside,
just the roars to the crowd there it was. It
was very humbling, It was very inspiring. And I'll tell
you they may be excited, but it lit a fire
in me too. And there's a whole lot of people

(00:29):
there and a whole lot of people probably across the
state that I'm not going to let down.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Well that's your fuel right there, that's what to keep
it going. Sheriff again, thank you for your time. I
know you're in hide demand today just announcing he's running
for the governor's office yesterday. Let me ask you, when
did the moment hit you? Was it out on the
Prop thirty six tour last year, three years ago, three
weeks ago? Describe the moment that you knew inside of
you I'm doing it.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, it's been a build up. We've been working on
it for like a little over a year. Is just
trying to feel it out and see if there was
even any ants in California, and it obviously it was
building over that time and moving up until the election
and prop for thirty six overwhelmingly passing was a huge bump,
and that was probably the time. That was probably when
I knew that I was going to run. But I

(01:15):
got to be honest and tell you that I did
everything I could to try and talk myself out of
it for being selfish reasons, just just not wanting to
go through it. And I love my job. I have
the perfect job. But in the end, when I got
little past February, little past January and closer to February,
it was like, you know what, I've never done anything
for myself before. That never makes me happy. Making me

(01:37):
happy is when I do something for someone else and
I knew it was the right thing to do, I
would have never forgiven myself.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Sir Chad Bianco. I became aware of your standback during COVID.
I mean, you know, you just can't.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
You can't arrest somebody for going out and exercising in
public or not wearing a mask. You know, at the
same time they're trying to force me to least real
criminals from jail. They want me to make criminals out
of law abiding citizens that are trying to support a family.
It doesn't make sense anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Sarah. That's when I said, that's a guy that stands
up for people. I think that's maybe even one of
the first times we might have spoken to you on
the show when you took that stand right there. Go
back before then, tell everybody out there, the voters of California,
who Chad is? How did Chad get started in law enforcement?

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I moved here from I moved here from Utah, and
I truly did come here for the California dream. I
came here when I was eleven for a week without
my parents for a Little League World Series and I
fell in love with the place and so coming here.
You know, I came here in nineteen eighty nine, I
got a job, built a you know, got a home,
bought a home, got married, raised my family. Obviously, got

(02:49):
into law enforcement in nineteen ninety three. So I'm in
my thirty second year now. I've been the sheriffs for
the last six years and it's something truly, it was
definitely my calling, helping people, serving people, sacrificing myself for
other people truly does make me happy. And I think
my mission is I'm a fixer. I just feel like

(03:12):
when there's something around me broke and I fix it,
whether it's stopping on the side of the road to
help somebody with a flat tire, I just I get
something from fixing things and knowing how broke our state
is and the people that have broken it want the
top spot to lead it, and it just I just
can't let that happen.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Well, you say you're a fixer, there's a lot in
the state that needs fixing. I know in law enforcement,
every time I see a fire truck there's normally a
patrol car around as well. So you've worked with the
fire department over your career. Let's talk fire. Let's talk
about the failure of this governor with what just happened
down not too far from you.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, well, it goes back. It's not just my conversations
with them, which has happened over thirty years, because we
deal with forest fires all the time. Every year we
have a fire season, and it's the same conversations that
I have from the time I was a deputy with
the guys fighting the fires to now being an administrator
talking with the people running the missions, and it's they

(04:12):
do everything they can after the fact, but the state
prevents them from preventing forest fires. So it's regulation. It's
over regulation. It's this crazy, this crazy appeasement of environmentalists
and special interests that truly are It destroyed our cities,
you know, this last month destroyed our cities, and it's

(04:36):
the government is to blame. And it's over regulation. It's
over taxation. It's wanting more money, it's wanting more control.
And we've known it for thirty years. I've known it
for thirty years. It's probably been around longer. But it's
coming to a head now and everyone is realizing it.
We may have had our hands, some people had their

(04:56):
heads in the sand coming up until now. But you
can't ignored anymore. With the rising crime, the rising homelessness,
the higher taxes, the higher cost of gas energy. We
don't even have enough energy to supply our air conditioning
in the summertime anymore. And and yet they want us
to use more electrical cars, with more government forcing us
to do something. It's gotten way too far. It's destroying

(05:21):
this beautiful state and it's time for all of us
to stand up and make a difference. And it's going
to take putting a different person with a different vision,
with different views that actually cares about California inside the
governor's mansion.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
It is rather obvious now to many Californias. My guest
is Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco just announced his run
for the governor's office. It is becoming obvious because in
my life, sheriff, I live alone. I can't imagine families
or families that might make less money. I just went out,
I got in the car, and I went and bought
groceries for a week and filled my car up. And

(05:57):
it was like two hundred and sixty five dollars eighty
six for groceries, seventy bucks to fill up if you
got a truck, even more my gas and electric bill. Again,
I live alone, but in the summer it's like seven
hundred dollars. I can't imagine a family where somebody's home
all day long. In the winter, I barely run my
heat and it's like three hundred bucks. And we see

(06:18):
PG and E made a profit a two point four
billion dollars. That makes me want to scream.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, and with government subsidies, it's definitely disheartening. And I'll
tell you one of the things, you know, I've got kids.
I've got kids that are trying to raise their own families,
and I'm doing everything i can to keep them here
because they know they have to leave if they want
a better life for themselves, if they want a dream,
it can't be the California dream. It's got to be
a different state dream. Because they're actually talking with their

(06:46):
friends about going in together with their friends to buy
a house. There is something very, very wrong when you
have to pool friendships to buy a home for your family.
Is It is so bizarre to me that we have
allowed it to get this far, and a lot of
people say that it's gone too far. I don't believe so.

(07:06):
I think it's just going to take someone with the
ambition enough to drive enough and the strength enough to
tell all these people know and these special interests know
and make some hard decisions and some hard cuts in
Sacramento and benefit the rest of the state.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Pulling together to buy a home, you would have to.
I was a sitter and thinking in Chico in nineteen
eighty four. We pulled together. But I was eighteen and
that was to runt a two bedroom apartment.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah. I mean, my son has a fantastic paying job,
he can't buy a home. My daughter and her husband
both work with great jobs. They can't afford to buy
a home. And it's so disheartening for me because I'm
telling you, at eleven years old, California was everything to me.
And when I went home, I told my parents I'm
moving to California. They convinced me to wait until I

(07:54):
was an adult. But as soon as I was an adult,
I moved to California. And it's just it's a nightmare
for millions of people now, and it's sad to me.
And we need to do something to make California the
beacon of the country, the pride of the country, rather
than the laughing stock.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Indeed, Sheriff Chad Bianco's my guest. The last time we
talked about SB fifty four, he said, it's the law.
We can't ignore it. We had freesdol County Sheriff John
Snoni here state recently that it needs it needs some fixing.
SB fifty four. Explain your run if you were a governor,
how would you fix that.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, we definitely have to make a huge carve out
for prisons in jails. There should be complete cooperation between
the sheriffs who run our jail system and the federal
government the ice officials to make sure that these people
that are here illegally in the first place, and then
they commit our crimes and victimize us, they commit crimes

(08:48):
against us and victimize us. They have no business being
in this country. They didn't come here to make their
lives better. They came here to make our lives miserable,
and we should be deporting them back to the country
that they came from. There is absolutely no one with
any common sense whatsoever that has any good argument otherwise,
and yet here we have this policy that we can't

(09:08):
that can't happen. So the jails and systems definitely need
to have a minimum of a carve out. But ultimately,
this SB fifty four hurts our immigrant communities. In the
first place. It does nothing to local law enforcement. Did
not go after the immigrant community anyway. We never deported anybody.
That was the federal government's job. And it was fear
mongering that brought this bill to the light in the

(09:32):
first place. And then it was a family member bringing
this law forward so his family wouldn't be deported. The
rest of the state gets punished because of self interests
in Sacramento.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Well, yeah, let's hope we can change this around. And well,
you know, the Trump administration is going to hit people
where it hurts in the pocketbook these states. So even
saw Newsom saying he's going to veto the ice not
being able to work with prisons, I thought that was
a step in the right way of cooperating. But in
closing out, I know you're a highly sought after man.
We appreciate the time you're giving the value right now, Sheriff,

(10:04):
and I hardly ever, I don't even think if I
brought faith up with law enforcement, but I do with politicians.
I'll just flat out to ask you. I heard you
talking a lot about God. Assume you believe in a
creator and you got a soul, right.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Well, I certainly do. I don't know if I would
consider myself a Bible thumper, but God is my life
and that's why I live my life. And I know
that I don't want to have to answer for too
many things when I get to those gates, and I
would rather enter good and faithful servant. I would rather
hear those words than anything else. So it's a good

(10:39):
way to live. It keeps me out of trouble, and
it makes me do a lot of good for a
lot of people.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
All Right, Well, we'll be talking this year and into
next year. This is going to be happening. So I'm
kind of a direct person, So let me ask you,
what's your definition of a Bible thumper.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Well, I don't run around, you know, beating it into
people and trying to force them into going to church.
I try and convince them by my actions. I'll tell
them that it sure makes life easier and those types
of things. But the people you see on the corner
that are that are the very evangelical type people. I'm
a little bit more reserved. I would rather have a
private conversation with you than stand up in front of

(11:19):
a crowd.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
All right, I guess that's maybe a different way to
say it, but listen, I appreciate everything. Basically that every
conversation I've had with you, you come across as somebody
that actually cares. And I got a lot of politicians
in and out of here, and a lot of words
that are stated, so I want to ask you, how
do people help your campaign? How do people get involved

(11:41):
in this early part?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
We definitely need people involved. The best ways Bianco for
Governor dot com. You can sign up to volunteer, you
can sign up to help fundraise money. Unfortunately, we know
that this is going to take millions and millions of dollars.
So for those of you out there, struggling business owners,
if you work in a business, if you have kids,
if you have kids in school, this election is for

(12:04):
you and any amount can help, whether it's one dollar,
five dollars or five thousand dollars, you know, anything that
you can do to help. I'm going to give up
my life for two years to make this state better.
It's going to be a hard campaign, but my wife
and I are ready to do it, and we just
need your help.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
Well.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
I look forward to our conversations over the next year
and another year. Sheriff Chad Buncle, thank you, sir for
your time.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
You're welcome. Thanks for having me on.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
You bet you we're gonna come right back. Supervisor Gary Bradefeld,
he's here, is he in the green room? I hope
that shrimp is still good. All right, we'll talk to
him next.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
This is the Trevor Cherry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Spervides your Gary Breadfeld. Good to see you back in
Man and you don't have to take off real quick
and go start walking around neighborhoods after interviews. Now, the
last two years, that's where you were headed out.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
Walking all the time. Yeah, not doing that anymore now
now it's governing.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Well, how's that going with? What's the difference between city
council and the Board of Supervisors. Well, I think you
guys have been a little heated at the start, but
not that you weren't on city council either.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
No, but the city council gets a lot of things done.
They pass a lot of ordinances. It's a very very
different situation over there. And I'm adjusting to them and
they're certainly adjusting to me, and some of them having
a hard time.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
If I'm picking up what you're throwing down, Are you
saying that maybe some things aren't getting done? If they Oh, there's.

Speaker 6 (13:29):
So many things that need to be done at the
county and.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Name three go.

Speaker 6 (13:35):
Where do I begin. Let's start with the first one,
code enforcement. They have a backlog of nearly two thousand cases.
It is only recently that the board made code enforcement
a priority. It's been ignored for ten years or more.
Anytime you want to spend money out of your budget,
you've got out of your personal district budget. They have

(13:58):
a policy in place. You have to say it to
the county council. He has to approve it. Daddy has
to approve it the county council. And then after.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Daddy approves it, who would daddy be.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
Daddy is the county council, the lawyer okay, and then
the lawyer says okay, and then you pass it to
the board and it has to come to the board.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Well, isn't that kind of doge thinking to make sure
that No.

Speaker 6 (14:18):
Their rationale is this has oversight. But the fact is
we're all elected officials. We all understand what the laws are,
what the rules are. We have FPPC at the ball
at the city.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Can give us an example.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
You want.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
A party or something fifteen.

Speaker 6 (14:33):
Hundred dollars for support blue run. Okay, I had to
send it to the county Council and then the county
Council sent it to the board. Hat that's the rule
that they created that they the Board created Supervisor Mazig
on the same agenda, had an item for two hundred
and thirty five dollars that he wanted to spend out
of his budget, had to go to the County Council,
then had to go to the Board of Supervisors for approval.

(14:56):
It is the most ridiculous, stupid thing there is.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Every board meeting, is it like it's read off and
you just go yes, yes, yes, yes, they put time, they.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
Put it on the consent calendar, so it's supposed to
be approved without any any problem. But it's it's it's
it's ridiculous that you have to do that. We oversee
a five billion dollar budget. We're making decisions. I'm five
billion dollars as supervisors, but we have to go before
the board. If we want to spend out of our infant,
out of our budget, our personal budget, I have to

(15:26):
bring it to county council, who then has.

Speaker 5 (15:28):
To bring it to the board. It is the it
is the stupidest thing.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
But that Okay, okay, you have a budget as a supervisor,
just like you had a budget as a city council member.
Right now, did the city do that or no?

Speaker 6 (15:39):
As a at a city council member, I would simply
just make the desire to spend the money.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Fifty upset at some of this money that was being
spent by Fellows City council members.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
Yes, I thought it some of it was inappropriate, but
that is entirely up to them. It's public record. You
can access it, and they can be voted out, and
if they really cross the line, they can be prosecuted
if they're doing something really bad. So and that's the
way it should be.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Well, it's just kind of there's okay, five billion dollars
that you oversee and it's going to take time everything
to approve two hundred and sixty dollars. You're saying that
that's ridiculous, It's totally ridiculous. What else is, Oh, there's
a number of things.

Speaker 6 (16:20):
They have a rule that people who want to speak
before the boards, you're only allowed fifteen minutes total on
a topic, and they tried to shut down people who
came before the board, a union who wanted to speak,
and the chairman tried to shut them down after fifteen minutes.
I think that's outrageous. You should have a right to
address your government. We're all working for the taxpayer, everything

(16:41):
there is based on the taxpayer. So they have this
rule in placement the city council. We would listen for hours.
Did I like hearing all of that stuff? No? But
I thought they had a right to come and address
their city council and their mayor.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Isn't there some time constraint though? On it? I can't wait?

Speaker 6 (16:55):
Yeah, have a three minute everybody has a three minute individual,
but they have a three minute in individual in a
total fifteen minutes on the topic. So basically you can
have five people talk on a topic for fifteen minutes,
that's it, and then they cut it off.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Oh so it's not one person talking for fifteen it's
a combination of it's.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
A combination total. You'll every individual gets up to three minutes,
and if they put the thing in fifteen minutes for
the topic, you only get five people who can talk.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Even if it's say like some big building development that
wants it doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
It doesn't matter. They can cut it off on any
topic they want, and I think, frankly, that's outrageous.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Well that doesn't seem fair, does it?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
No?

Speaker 5 (17:32):
Not at all?

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Other than that, are you enjoying your new job?

Speaker 6 (17:36):
Well, listen I'm I'm running into these kinds of things,
but we're going to change the Trevor I I'm not gonna.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Miss It makes you miss mcguillarius down there, doesn't it?

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Well?

Speaker 6 (17:44):
Tell you I miss people who really want to get
things done, and the city Council certainly wants to get
things done. We may differ on a lot of things
than we did, and we do, but these are people
over there who are working hard every time they meet,
and these are folks who really want to let staff
drive everything rather than them as elected leaders, drive it.
And that's that's new for me, and it's going to

(18:07):
be new for them as I continue to deal with
these things.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
All Right, two white guys are going to come back
and is that fair? Can two white guys talk about diversity,
equity and inclusion?

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Oh? I think anybody can talk about the verse.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Okay, well you're talking about it at the Board of
Supervisors and we're going to come back and talk about
that with Supervisor Gary Bradefeld Moore. Next, this is.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
The Tremor Carry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Nervous about it and I can't believe the moving at
the speed of Trump.

Speaker 6 (18:40):
You cannot believe this guy. This guy's iconic. We'll be
talking about this man at one hundred years from now,
not only with just the fight fight fight, and how
he's dealt with all the law fair and all the
attacks against them. This guy is just showing how it's
supposed to be done. And he's changing government. He's exposing

(19:00):
all the fraud, he's closing up the borders, he's throwing
out all the criminal, illegal aliens. He's going to improve
the economy. He's more transparent than any president that's ever lived.
I mean, he's on talking to the media twice a day,
he puts his thoughts out on X.

Speaker 5 (19:17):
The guy's amazing, truly is.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
And I've stated, and I'll give you credit as a
council member, that's how I knew your career in politics.
You doubled down and stood up for what you believed
in and it was successful. Now you moved on to
be supervisor. People like people that stand up for what
they believe in. And I hope what President Trump has
done here really gives a lot more Republicans the courage
and not feel like they got to, oh we got

(19:41):
to water it down, or we got to meet across
the aisle or we got to say, I'm not a
Bible thumper, you know, the watering down of it. I
want people that have the backbone and stand up.

Speaker 5 (19:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (19:52):
Well yeah, I think you've got to be disappointed, because
I'm disappointed with some of the elected Republicans we have
here locally. They don't stand up up. They don't stand
up for a lot of things, and it's very unfortunate.
I don't think that's going to change. It didn't happen
during COVID. You're not going to see it change here.
It's unfortunate it is.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Let's move on to DEI. The Fresno B had an
article Fresno officials copy Trump on California sanctuary law, and
I read from the Fresno B last week's third Trump
train passenger with Charsnal County Supervisor Gary Bredefeld wants to
remove all DEI language from its job postings. The racist reply.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
Well, that was from the columns from the B. I
don't think anybody reads his stuff. I have to read it,
so I look at it. First of all, he lied
in the column, and I let him know, by the
way via text. He said, we didn't provide evidence that
DEI has all that.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yeah, not true.

Speaker 6 (20:48):
We handed out to his reporter who put it in
the Fresno b article that was his opinion piece, so
he lied to his readers. Secondly, the fact is Dei
is discriminatory. It's against federal law, and it was in
the county job application openings and it just doesn't belong.
You should not be hired based on one's sex, color

(21:10):
of skin, sexual orientation should be on the most qualified person.
And as I said, DEEI should be replaced with equality, merit,
and color blindness. That's what it should be.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Well, what do you expect from a lifelong Sierra a frolicker.
I have an example. I used to work with somebody
who said their wife couldn't get a teaching job, and
she was using her merry name, which was not Hispanic,
and then she used her her Spanic maiden name. She
put that out Bam she got a job real quick.
I mean this has been happening for decades now.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
Yeah, And the bottom line is it's American to base
that on one's qualifications. It's un American to discriminate against people.
It's against federal law. And even in the job openings
that were on the county. They put in the Deehigh
language and the life paragraph was Federal law prohibits discriminating
against based on sex, color, blah blah blah. So they

(22:06):
had the language in there, but they put in the
discriminatory DEI language in there anyway, so we made sure
we directed them to remove it. And you know, as
we were asked by reporters, don't you need Bored approval
for this? I don't need Bord approval for anything like this.
This needs to be removed, and they removed it.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Well, the moment they believe in implementing DEI into professional sports,
then I'm in with them. Oh, if they'll fully take
it to the fullest degree, right, have a skinny Asian
woman defensive tackle for the Rams or something.

Speaker 6 (22:37):
Well, we've seen it with putting men in women in sports.
That's what that's all about. And that Wolk radical ideology
is destructive, harmful to women, was basically canceling women. Of course,
you didn't see the feminists stand out and speak against it,
because they are a bunch of radicals. But Donald Trump
has changed all that. We're getting back to sanity, we're
getting back to common sense. Women sports are being saved

(23:01):
now because of him, and that's the right thing to do.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
The new supervisor came in when you did. Luis Chaves
as the county does not spend any money on DEI.
Is is that true?

Speaker 6 (23:13):
Well, I don't know that they're spending money. They're putting
it in their job openings, you know. Is there a
cost that? I don't know. But the fact is, I
don't think there's any policy specifically spending money on DEI.
They spend money on stupid things like needle exchange and
crack bike programs. They're spending about one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars of county money on that three hundred thousand

(23:34):
dollars of state money on it, and I would hope
that we can eventually get rid of that program because
it is destructive. So they spend money on stupid things
like that. But I don't think there's anything related to DEI.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
I like here Fresnel Land had Supervisor Buddy Mendez say
he wasn't even aware you held a press conference. I
would think if I were on the Board of supervisors,
I would know if a fellow supervisor held a press conference,
and I would want somebody to report to me what
happened or I would tune in and listen to that
as well. Well, we've known we've had issues, even going

(24:08):
back to COVID and the lockdown, and we thought we
had a from the early reaction from the County Board
of Supervisors, it looked like we had some defenses against Sacramento.
But boy, we got steamrolled.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
Well, let me tell you what's going on. You'll be
shocked by this. I think you may not be aware
of this. You know, we know about COVID and the
interim medical director who just espoused all the talking points
from Fauci, well he's still at the county doctor Va,
doctor Vora, and he initiated an order that I believe
went from November to March that is forcing mandating in

(24:40):
order mandating health professionals to get the flu vaccine. And
if they don't get the flu vaccine, they have to
wear a mask every day every day they're working, which
is eight hours a day, five days a week, forty
hours a week. If you get the flu vaccine, you
get to wear a badge, a blue badge that lets
people identify you've been vaccinated for the flu. That's going

(25:02):
through March the end of March, and this board allowed
it because they didn't put a stop to it. So
as much as we think people learned from all of
the harms and ills of COVID, this board allowed that
vaccine mandate to go through. And I'm going to bring
this forward for discussion on March eleventh, and I would

(25:24):
hope that the board is willing to remove it, but
I doubt it. I just doubt that they're willing to
do it. But that's the same kind of crap that's
still going on, wars promoting boards looking the other way
and people are being harmed.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Don't we know now that breathing your recycled CO two
air is really bad for you? Eight hours a day?
Is this guy a doctor? When I ask the former supervisor,
Steve Brandell, who you beat in the election, I don't know,
a year or so ago, why is he still interim?
The response I got back is nobody else wanted the job.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
Well, this guy, how long can you beat?

Speaker 1 (25:59):
How long can you be interim for?

Speaker 6 (26:01):
I guess they can leave them there forever with an
interim title, But I'd like to get somebody who yes,
wants to respect people's rights, the right not to inject
something into your body if you don't.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Want if you want to get a vaccine, get a vaccine.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
But if you don't want one, you should be free
not to get one.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
That's the maddest thing I've heard today that just really
angers me. I can't believe. So right now there are
people that are wearing masks at work.

Speaker 6 (26:26):
Yes, right now, health personnel and doctors, nurses and people
affiliated with health care are being forced to get a
flu vaccine or wear a mask. And when you get
the vaccine, you get to wear a blue badge identifying
you as that.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
We need a new rally. We need a new rally.
We need to get our rallies going again. Remember the
don't lock us down rallies in the wall? Doctor Vaara, Dude,
why don't you go read some scientific literature because it
would tell you that's ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
Well, and I'll put it on the board. Whre's the board?
Why do they allow it? And I'll tell you something else.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
You weren't on there when they allowed it.

Speaker 6 (27:04):
This was in November. I didn't come on till January
and they have. We just approved the FED what they
call the Federal Platform, which is a whole bunch of
issues from the board that approves what they believe and
send it to the federal government. One of those is
that they don't support mandates of vaccines yet that's in

(27:25):
the federal platform that they just approved, which I raised
when we heard this. I said, but you've allowed this
to happen. And one board member said, well, it didn't
come before us. I said, you're responsible for everything that
goes on in this county and you should know that
this mandate was done and if you don't agree with it,
you ought to bring it to the board and say
this shouldn't happen. They didn't do that, None of them

(27:47):
have done that. We're going to bring it on March.
I suspect they won't remove it, but we're going to
highlight it and we're going to fight it every time
they want to bring it forward. Next year.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Wow, people not wearing mask if you don't have your
flu shot.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
People aren't regulated.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Well, you're going to regulate them, aren't you. City of
Fresno could have a budget deficit over twenty million. It's
been announced in the twenty twenty six budget. How's the
county looking with her, Well.

Speaker 6 (28:14):
We're still looking at the numbers. They're supposed to come
to us. There is a concern that there'll be a shortfall.
How much we don't know yet, but I will tell
you here's another thing that we're going to be driving.
This county board do not have department heads come before
the board during budget and present their budgets, present their needs,

(28:35):
present their staffing needs. Everything gets worked out behind the scenes,
and so when they approve their budget, it's usually done
in one meeting, no public comment, It's done in about
fifteen minutes. When we're at the city, it takes a month.
All department heads come before the city Council and they're
queried about their budgets. I am not going to support

(28:56):
any budget that is not out in the open, is
not presented before the public. And we'll see how that
goes this time. And it's coming up in about six months.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Well, I was looking at the city basically, maybe it's
marijuana's fault. Well, I don't even know why they factored
the three point nine million revenue shortfall that they had gotten.
I don't know why they factored it in that high
were they.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Now?

Speaker 1 (29:21):
I'm not they're blaming weed that the dispensaries.

Speaker 6 (29:24):
Well, the dispensaries have not produced the revenue they all
thought it was going to do. Nor has it stopped
the black market, which we knew it wasn't going to
stop the black market. Said that, but you couldn't stop
these folks from entering into the marijuana business. They felt
it was going to be a pot of gold. It's
not a pot of gold that brings with it its

(29:44):
own problems, and it's not producing the money they thought
that it was going to produce, which is really just
pathetic that we've even gotten into this business.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, it seems like sales tax revenue down. That of
course affects the county as well. In the America Rescue
funds for all the COVID.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
Mayor Jerry, I don't want to get you in trouble
out on Fresno, California.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Remember all that money came our way. Boy, government's got
you saw that extra slush fund, didn't they. Now it's
belt tightening and twenty million with just the city that's
going to have to cut, cuts are coming.

Speaker 5 (30:18):
It's gonna hurt.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
It is. Thank you for your time, anything you want
to say. In closing about just about Zelensky foreign policy.

Speaker 6 (30:28):
We have a president now who's going to stop. I
believe the Russia Ukraine war, and I think he's going
to bring stability to the Middle East as he did before.
And I'm just thrilled with what's happening on the federal
level under the leadership of Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
I tell you, all this waste. What can you imagine
if they dozed up the state of California, all the waste,
or if you guys even did the county. I mean,
just think of all the all the waste that's been
going on. Doesn't it in it staggering? Isn't it infuriating?

Speaker 6 (30:59):
It is infuriating. This is our tax dollars. And you
know what, I get tired of it, just like everyone
else when we got to give the money to the government,
because we all know it's going down a rat hole.
And now we're seeing exactly how much of a rat
hole it's been going down. It's it's disgraceful. And yet
you have people on the left who are fighting this
and doub down on their stupidity. And it's just amazing

(31:20):
to me how you can defend all of this waste,
broad abuse, corruption is beyond me.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, well, thanks for coming in. It was great seeing
you on it's Saturday. We met up at the free
needle exchange. It was going to see you down there.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
You didn't see me.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
There in that summing that's still going on. Is that
going to stop? Is that not? For those that do
not know, the county does a free needle exchange, right.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
Twenty thousand needles are handed out every week. One million
needles in Fresno County. I've now gotten the numbers, which
I couldn't get before. Now that I'm on the board,
I can get it. It's one hundred and almost one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars of county resources and three
hundred thousand dollars of state money to buy these needles
and crack pipes. They hand out crackpipes. Why because they

(32:04):
think it's safer for the attic to smoke fetanyl rather
than inject it. It's complete insanity and the board needs
to stand up and get rid of this. We have
two board members, one that's a Republican who voted for
this nonsense, which one buddy men Does voted for it.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
It'd be like the county showing up at an AA
meeting passing out whiskey shotglasses.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, If anybody wants to get a hold of their
new supervisor, what's the best way.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
Oh, they gonna just call me at the county and
they can email me. I have a great staff there
and we're very responsive, just like we were with the city.
So just give us a call at the county.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Thank you, supervisor, Thank you very much. You bet you the.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
Assist that Trevor Kerry show on The Valley's Power.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Doog Trump's seventy five million, eighty million votes, And I'm
going to tell you you're not going anywhere even if
Trump does, You're not. They can't separate you from Trump. Hmmm,
the words of Russe Limbaugh. They can't separate us for Trump.
Russia's been gone for four years as of yesterday. Doesn't

(33:12):
seem that long ago, does it. Boy, You know, he'd
be all excited right now, would he not. Yeah, he
would be. He'd be saying, you know what, you hung
with the man, You stuck with the man. I told
you they couldn't separate you from Maga Rush said, and
he was he was right. Another man that I respect highly.

(33:35):
Senator Ram Paul never got to speak to him, got
to speak on a few occasions to the man that
pro created him, former Commersant Rompaul. Senator Paul's called for
an audit that's pretty popular these days, an audit for
Fort Knox where our gold is. He's been calling for

(33:58):
this for a long time. Four thousand, five hundred and
eighty tons of US gold or supposedly started in Fort Knox,
and Senator Ram Paul's going, does it still exist? He said? Then,
I quote, you may be great if a law of
Musk could take a look inside Fort Sonock to make
sure the gold is there. Last time anybody looked was

(34:20):
fifty years ago, in nineteen seventy four. Elon Musk responded,
surely it's reviewed at least every year, Rampaul fireback, Nope,
let's do it now. The last known audit took place
in nineteen eighty six, So between nineteen seventy four and
nineteen eighty six it was it was audited every year,
but not since nineteen eighty six. And when they audited,

(34:44):
ninety seven percent of the gold was was audited and
placed under joint seals. So why wasn't one hundred percent?
Oh maybe something snuck out? Can you since nineteen eighty six,
We don't know, we need to get in there and
audit Fort Knox. Then we need to audit the Federal Reserve.

(35:04):
That's not federal, not the government, they are private. Who's
on the border directors, I don't know. You got to
go to Davos, Switzerland to find out what all the
globalist illuminati kind of folks out there right.
