My FIRST Prime-Time Interview for Governor!!! FOX!!!
FULL TRANSCRIPT
kevin papras welcome to the show i'm so
excited to talk to you
kennedy i am so happy to be here thank
you so much for having me i know you
know california
and you know it's obvious what we've got
we've got a bagel problem
so many problems but here's what i like
kevin um i like the idea of caitlyn
jenner because she
listed gavin newsom's greatest
vulnerabilities which he has not tackled
head-on
uh these problems have only compounded
and it's not just the pandemic it's
homelessness
it's transportation it's housing it's
gold you have
a distinct detailed plan for everything
and i want to touch on a couple things
uh one i love this idea of future school
uh you were obviously
an unorthodox thinker you want to
combine high school college trade school
in financial planning school
all in one place and let people 14 and
over choose tell me about that that's
great
absolutely i mean you nailed it here i
mean everybody can point out the
problems with california there's no
shortage of that
housing homelessness schooling
transportation you named it the thing is
we have to solve california with a
completely
new way of thinking about it and that's
why on day one
i would declare four states of emergency
housing homelessness
schooling transportation because you
can't solve homelessness
when people aren't educated you need
people to be able to get a job
be able to actually get a job that pays
a living wage
because of the skills and value those
people provide to businesses
and then they are not going to be
dependent on the state of california
33 percent of californians are on
medi-cal because they're so close to the
poverty line
it's not their fault it's newsom's fault
because the state doesn't educate people
you've got to give people the tools to
learn and earn
dignity well you invented you and i both
went to ucla which is
the greatest public institution in these
united states go bruins
yes absolutely i like that i like what
you're saying about schools i think we
need more school choice i don't think
the the state is the best at providing
education
uh but i do like that you want to in
terms of
homelessness build 500 000 units not 80
000
over the next five years and fast track
permits even for remodels
to which i say yes meet kevin look
here's the thing
the california government is in the way
of everything i was talking to a
business today they are losing workers
to arizona because it's easier and
cheaper for people to
leave where they're working in
california and i'm talking blue collar
workers i'm not talking elon musk joe
rogan i'm talking people working
35 40 an hour they go to idaho they can
buy a house they go to arizona they can
buy a house they can start a business
they can have a job
and by the way and they follow one of
your other rules
they follow one of your other rules it
which is go to a state
that doesn't have income taxes and then
you can absolutely take that money or
saving
and create your own wealth which is what
people in california want to do
you know the optimists that are still
there bless their hearts
but if you're in a two-bedroom apartment
you look at arizona you could be in a
four-bedroom house with a pool
it's a pretty easy choice for a lot of
people to make that's why california
is losing people they have gambled on it
and that brings me to another point of
yours
which i absolutely love why should we
drive or fly all the way to vegas
bingo we need to build casinos
throughout california we have some of
the most beautiful locations
that need extra tax revenue as well so
that we can
build and develop our communities and
have more affordable housing in many
different areas
i'm not just talking about building
casinos in los angeles or in santa
monica i'm talking about even building
brand new developments get the
government out of the way
let developers build let them do what
they can do best
put a casino in the middle of town build
a town around it
plan out more housing so people have
affordable housing we don't need rent
control
and subsidies right
we need less government and you need you
need more multi-family units
stop with a single family dwellings
that's what has screwed everything up
i also love your idea to end high-speed
rail it's never going to happen in
california
starting california i know everyone
likes their choo-choos but stop
go ahead kennedy you nailed it
high-speed rail
cost this state the equivalent of 3 000
bitcoin it's 125
million dollars per mile elon musk can
build us
safer faster and better tunnels for 10
million dollars a mile
why are we spending 12 and a half times
it's because people like newsome don't
know how to run a budget they don't know
how to spend money
they get money oh we got a budget
surplus because we tax people too much
which one of my plans
is removing taxes on the first 250 000
that people make so people can come back
to california i've got people donating
to me from florida and texas because
they're like please
send the californians back but people
are voting with their feet because the
state is broken
it's illogical the way this government
is right well i appreciate that that you
have come up with
a lot of logical plans here there's more
to dig into i hope you come back on the
show kevin i would love to be back thank
you so much thank you
