If you thought 2016 was important, 2020 is going to be the greatest, most significant election of your lifetime.

As a result, we've created a unique additional podcast with our regular guest in studio, former special assistant, the President Trump Boris Epstein.

It's called the Battle for 1600. Join us today by subscribing to the podcast for free. Just look for my name, Boris Epstein and the Battle for 1600.

This is America First and here's your host, Dr. Sebastian Gorka.

It wasn't that long ago, our same governor, loudly and publicly argued how wrong it was for the President of the United States to withhold federal funding from states not complying with federal laws.

The dictatorial attitude toward California residents while dining in luxury, traveling, keeping his business open, and sending his kids to in-person private schools is very telling about his attitude toward California residents, his feelings about the virus.

These closures and stay-at-home mortars are flat-out ridiculous. The metrics used for closures are unbelievably faulty and are not representative of true numbers and are disastrous for Versailles County.

When the medical field is so split about this virus, it might be time to employ a little common sense. Keeping money and support from our hospitals who are struggling with normal, seasonal increases in patients, coupled with COVID-19 patients is irresponsible.

It appears part of the new goal is to shift attention away from his and others personal behavior with a do-as-I-say not-as-I-do attitude by turning public opinion against California sheriffs.

He is expecting us to arrest anyone violating these orders, cite them and take their money, close their businesses, make them stay in their homes, and take away their civil liberties, or he will punish all of us.

I believe that all jobs are essential to someone. Leaders do not threaten, attempt to intimidate, or cause fear. Bullies do.

As has been our position from the beginning of this pandemic, the Sheriff's Department is asking and expecting Riverside County residents to act responsibly and do what they can to protect themselves and their family from contracting the virus.

Where your mask and practice social distancing. While the governor's office and the state has threatened action against violators, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department will not be blackmailed, bullied, or used as muscle against Riverside County residents in the enforcement of the governor's orders.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a safe and happy New Year.

For those of you who aren't watching on YouTube, that was a very impressive-looking man with four stars on his collar in a sheriff's uniform.

And I think the person we have with us now can tell us who he is. She's our West Coast warrior, fighting for freedom every day in California. Jennifer Horn, who is that man?

He is a hero in Southern California, said that is sheriff Chad Bianco. He is the sheriff of Riverside County. And I have to say thank God for a sane voice in a state of just unreasonable ones.

The sheriff in Orange County done Barnes, even the LA sheriff who the jury still out on Alex Viennuev, all three of them came together and said, we'll go after big super spreader events. We'll go after people actually committing real crimes, but we are not going to go after people who are simply going to open their businesses.

And what we have seen is push back on the governor's orders to shut down particularly small restaurants, a lot of restaurants in Orange County, Inventora County are saying, you know what, if they're not going to enforce this, we're going to open up and this will be a protest.

So let's let me get your take as the person who's right there, who's witnessing all of this who has, you know, your show every day, multiple hours of coverage, AM590, AM870, the answer, the morning answer and the gen and on show.

The conservative media gen is focusing on the hypocrisy of the politicians. We just all inured to it. Is that the right way to attack this issue because is it ever going to change with the Democrats?

Well, this may sound conspiratorial, but I feel like this is a test run more than anything else, just what we have the appetite for as citizens of the state of California, right, just how much restriction and overreach can people take.
