I never thought I would be running for political office. I had a wonderful career in music, first making jingles for household items like Flintstones Vitamins before getting into video games. It was there that I experienced amazing success with Halo. I was happy with my career and excited to spend time with my grandkids. But when I saw my congresswoman, Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nev.), stand in the way of President Donald Trump’s agenda at every turn, I decided I needed to step up and run.Newsom is still the slimiest politician imaginable, and unfortunately for Californians, he was able to get out of San Francisco. We can't let him get out of California. But still, the thought of being an elected official grossed me out, and that stemmed from meeting a sleazy politician 20 years ago.In 2005, Halo was presented a star on San Francisco’s Walk of Game. I was honored to be asked to attend the ceremony and accept the award on behalf of our team. It was especially exciting to do so while other iconic games and characters like Mario, Link from Zelda, and Sonic the Hedgehog were being honored with stars, too.Later that night, I attended a reception to celebrate the inductees, where I met the mayor of San Francisco. As we chatted a while, I couldn't help but notice his ludicrously white, straight teeth and slicked-back black hair held together with a ridiculous amount of hair gel.We weren't talking long until I was shocked by his shallow thoughts and disingenuous attitude. His responses felt robotic and scripted, and he wouldn't make eye contact. Instead, he scanned the room as if he were looking for someone more important to engage with.It quickly became clear he was there solely for the purpose of being photographed and basking in the limelight of popular games that were dominating American culture at the time — despite having never played the games himself.When I got home, I told my wife I had met the slimiest politician imaginable. "Thank God he’ll never get out of San Francisco," I said to her.That mayor? Gavin Newsom.RELATED: Legendary Halo composer unravels the video-game industry’s woke collapse — (@) Yep, I met Newsom long before he was chasing cameras to talk about Donald Trump and turning the “California Dream” into the “California Nightmare."Under Newsom’s leadership as governor, California has become dangerous and outrageously expensive as he toys with every experimental socialist policy possible. His dismal governorship resulted in the historic mass exodus of Californians to lower-taxed, lower-crime havens — while making the Golden State a national punchline.The state is on fire, literally, as we saw with the tragic Palisades and Eaton Fires earlier this year. While people who lost their homes are in regulatory purgatory and unable to rebuild, Newsom is scanning the room, looking for other things to engage with that are far more important for his personal ambitions.He's fighting the Trump administration's efforts to deport violent illegal immigrants and trying to rig the state's congressional maps to dilute the voices of his own constituents.RELATED: 'The system is rigged': Congressional candidate Marty O'Donnell calls for cuts to 'bloated' federal government As a conservative, I can’t think of a better leader for the Democrats than Gavin Newsom. Running against his failed policies should lead to years of electoral victories for the Republican Party.But I am sad to see what has happened to what was once a beautiful state. And as an American, I am terrified by what Newsom and his ilk want to do to our country.Gavin Newsom is still the slimiest politician imaginable, and unfortunately for Californians, he was able to get out of San Francisco. We can't let him get out of California. Our country cannot afford it.

President Donald Trump doubled down on the Epstein attacks, once again pointing the finger at the Democratic Party.The outrage surrounding the administration's handling of the Epstein files subsided in recent weeks while Congress was out of session. Now that the Hill is back, lawmakers have reignited interest in the Epstein scandal, which Trump insists is a "Democrat hoax." 'The Dems don't care about the victims.'"The confused and badly failing Democrat Party did nothing about Jeffrey Epstein while he was alive except befriend him, socialize with him, travel to his Island, and take his money!" Trump said in a Truth Social post Friday. "They knew everything there was to know about Epstein, but now, years after his death, they, out of nowhere, are seeming to show such love and heartfelt concern for his victims," Trump added. "Does anybody really believe that?" RELATED: White House slams Massie's Epstein bill as a 'very hostile act' — some Republicans sign on anyway Photo by Joe Schildhorn/Patrick McMullan via Getty ImagesTrump insisted Democrats don't actually care about Epstein's victims, saying if they did, they would have taken action in years prior. Instead, Trump argued that Democrats have resurrected the scandal because of their low approval ratings."The now dying (after the DOJ gave thousands of pages of documents in full compliance with a very comprehensive and exacting Subpoena from Congress!) Epstein case was only brought back to life by the Radical Left Democrats because they are doing so poorly, with the lowest poll numbers in the history of the Party (16%), while the Republicans are doing so well, among the highest approval numbers the Party has ever had!" Trump said. "The Dems don't care about the victims, as proven by the fact that they never did before.""This is merely another Democrat HOAX, just like Russia, Russia, Russia, and all of the others, in order to deflect and distract from the great success of a Republican President, and the record setting failure of the previous Administration, and the Democrat Party," Trump added. RELATED: Thomas Massie leads pressure campaign, forcing Congress to address Epstein Photo by Bill Pugliano/Getty ImagesAlthough Trump has repeatedly framed the Epstein scandal as a Democratic talking point, there has consistently been bipartisan support for transparency.The moment Congress came back in session on Monday, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky filed a discharge petition, which would force a vote on the House floor to release the Epstein files. In order to force the vote, Massie would need signatures from at least 218 members of Congress. As of Thursday, the petition has secured 215 signatures, including four from Republicans: Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, and Massie. Rep. Eric Swalwell of California is the only Democrat who has not yet signed but intends to, meaning signatures from at least two more Republicans are needed to force the vote.Notably, the White House slammed Massie's petition, calling it a "very hostile act" to deter other Republicans from signing on.RELATED: FBI, DOJ Epstein memo sparks right-wing outrage: 'Nobody is believing this' Photo by Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images"Helping Thomas Massie and liberal Democrats with their attention-seeking, while the DOJ is fully supporting a more comprehensive file release effort from the Oversight Committee, would be viewed as a very hostile act to the administration," one White House official said in an email to NBC.Like Blaze News?

A deep-state actor has been attempting to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from his position as director of Health and Human Services — and BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler has the receipts.“We have an untold story about what’s happened over the course of the past week at the CDC. We all know the publicly reported stories of what happened — that Susan Monarez, who was the previous head of the CDC, was asked by HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy to fire some people who were not in line, not in alignment with the MAHA agenda,” Wheeler begins.Wheeler calls Monarez “a bad apple” and a “militant pro-vaxxer” who is not ideologically aligned with the MAHA movement and even defended mRNA vaccines and the COVID vaccine during her confirmation hearing.“The question, of course, was why was she nominated in the first place as CDC director?” Wheeler asks, before calling the answer a man named Bill Cassidy, a Republican senator from Louisiana.According to Wheeler, Cassidy is a “MAHA infiltrator."“He doesn’t seem like someone who’s propagating evil. But let me tell you about what happened over the weekend at the CDC when then-CDC Director Susan Monarez was asked by Bobby Kennedy, HHS secretary, to fire individuals at the CDC who were opposed to Bobby’s MAHA agenda,” Wheeler explains.“Susan Monarez said ‘no.’ She refused to do the directive of her boss,” she continues, noting that this resulted in her being asked to resign — which she also refused to do and instead hired a lawyer.“So Bobby Kennedy called President Trump, the White House — HHS communicated with the White House, I should say, to be precise. And President Trump said, ‘Actually, the CDC director, because you’re now a Senate-confirmed official, serves at the pleasure of the president, and it is now my pleasure that you not serve as the CDC director,’” Wheeler says.“Now, that’s what’s known. You read that,” she adds.What’s not known is that the first phone call Monarez made after being asked to resign was to Senator Bill Cassidy, who has been instrumental in torpedoing other MAHA efforts.This is where a lobbying group called “Alliance for mRNA Medicines” comes in, which Wheeler says is “exactly what it sounds like.”“It is a group dedicated to lobbying, pressuring, capturing members of the federal government and advocating for mRNA vaccines. They call them medicines because they don’t want vaccines in the title,” Wheeler explains.In a highlight reel the group posted on social media, where they bragged about “what they accomplished during their trip to Washington, D.C.,” they show a meeting with none other than a smiling Cassidy.“This man, Senator Bill Cassidy, is in the pocket of Big Pharma … but it’s worse than that. Senator Bill Cassidy is not only in the pocket of Big Pharma, he’s in the pocket of the mRNA vaccine lobby,” Wheeler says.In 2023-2024, Cassidy was the second-highest Republican Senate recipient of Big Pharma cash. In one year alone, he received $290,000 from Big Pharma employees and lobbying groups — which is from just the easily trackable direct donations.“And funny how the moment he became the ranking member of the Senate Health Committee, he suddenly received an influx of donations not just from pharma employees, but from pharma executives,” she explains, noting that one of those executives is the CEO of Pfizer.“There’s an infiltrator who’s standing in the way of the MAHA-MAGA alliance,” Wheeler continues, adding, “Senator Bill Cassidy is captured not just by Big Pharma money but by the mRNA vaccine lobby, and there’s photographs to prove it.”Want more from Liz Wheeler?To enjoy more of Liz’s based commentary, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
