1:43

known as meet kevin

1:44

in the post he declared his intent to

1:46

run for governor and it was his most

1:48

successful

1:48

instagram message to date this is true i

1:51

told fox there it is

1:53

uh and they they included the embed here

1:55

of the facebook version not the

1:57

instagram version

1:58

but then it went down he said and

2:01

received a notification

2:02

claiming it violated instagram's

2:05

harassment guidelines

2:07

true story we did a video about this

2:09

yesterday

2:10

those guidelines state that content

2:12

cannot target private individuals to

2:14

degrade or shame them

2:16

cannot include personal uh information

2:18

and cannot uh

2:19

you know so on and so forth uh contain

2:21

threats for the persons or whatever

2:23

okay uh this is like three-year-old

2:27

language here i mean weenie baby

2:29

paphrath said

2:30

in a youtube video following deletion

2:33

harassment and bullying

2:36

oh my lighting is so much better

2:40

hours after fall and this is the crazy

2:42

part okay so my post got deleted

2:44

and look at this like a couple few hours

2:46

ago the post popped up again i'm like oh

2:49

my gosh what happened

2:50

well apparently fox news reached out

2:53

to instagram and facebook and then

2:56

all of a sudden the post reappears so

3:00

it's like oh

3:01

so when when all of a sudden

3:04

the media inquired or bigger media

3:07

inquired

3:07

it's like oh yeah let's put that post

3:10

back up look i hate to be

3:11

cynical but remember there were big

3:13

donations by instagram facebook

3:15

to the newsome campaign of 2020. now i

3:18

maybe things have changed okay

3:19

hopefully let me make this good i like

3:21

facebook and i love instagram

3:24

facebook's great but i really love

3:26

instagram okay love instagram

3:28

and i know the people that work at

3:29

instagram are good people

3:31

i'm sure this was just i hope this was

3:34

just some

3:35

mistake or or misunderstanding but it

3:38

does look like

3:39

based off an anonymous report that i

3:42

directly receive from somebody who says

3:44

they they work

3:46

uh at uh instagram uh that that this

3:49

was removed by a person uh not by

3:53

any kind of automated means so hopefully

3:56

this was just some

3:57

mistake uh i really think that

4:00

if facebook and instagram and the folks

4:02

who work at facebook and instagram

4:04

look at my 20-part plan by going to

4:06

meetkevin.com and they see

4:07

the tax reductions the solving of

4:10

homelessness within 60 days

4:12

the housing crisis the traffic crisis

4:14

the schooling crisis

4:16

folks are gonna be pretty interested in

4:18

my plan knew some

4:19

i think though maybe maybe newsom had

4:23

had a little bit of leverage here i i

4:24

don't know but i

4:25

imagine newsom's not too happy because

4:27

my plan

4:28

is real and it's way better than his but

4:31

anyway

4:32

because he doesn't have a plan his his

4:33

plan is let's throw some more money at

4:35

the problem and let's

4:36

let's just deal with homelessness over

4:37

the next five years hello

4:39

it's an it's a state emergency declare a

4:42

state of emergency and solve your

4:43

problem you have people dying on the

4:45

street

4:45

and that's a five year plan for you

4:48

hours after fox news inquired about the

4:50

missing post a spokesperson for facebook

4:53

which owns instagram

4:54

said it had been removed erroneously

4:57

and it was restored once the error

4:59

became apparent it was visible on

5:01

paphrat's feed as of wednesday evening

5:03

true it is back an identical post on his

5:06

facebook page has not been taken down

5:08

very true this is also true i did post

5:10

them i'm pretty sure i remember posting

5:12

them separately though

5:13

uh so they weren't like tied together

5:15

where it's like oh post on both

5:17

initially paffraz said he suspected the

5:19

social media giant's donations of

5:21

30 over 30 million dollars to newsom in

5:25

2020

5:26

played a role in the removal of his post

5:28

but the california-based facebook

5:30

noted those funds went to coronavirus

5:32

relief for healthcare workers and small

5:34

businesses

5:35

and not to the governor's campaign

5:36

coffers okay

5:38

loophole here let's get the story

5:41

straight and

5:41

google this okay fact check me google

5:43

this let me know in the comments

5:45

but based on the research we did

5:46

facebook and zuck

5:48

made the donation to frontline workers

5:52

quote on behalf of gavin newsom

5:56

so it's kind of like the money never

5:58

touched newsome's accounts

6:00

but went to people on behalf of newsome

6:03

it's kind of like

6:04

vote for newsome you know it's it's

6:08

it's a little shady okay that's all i've

6:10

got to say uh

6:11

okay so what do we got here uh this was

6:15

part of a broader pandemic relief

6:16

support both nationally and around the

6:17

world which included free ads for health

6:19

authorities to get accurate information

6:21

to people and grants a facebook company

6:22

spokesperson said

6:24

newsome's office declined to

6:27

they reached out to kevin newsom

6:31

hey gavin what do you think about being

6:32

called a weenie baby

6:35

and no comment so you are a weenie baby

6:41

when told the post had been reactivated

6:43

uh paphrath expressed surprise

6:45

and said he had not been notified fact i

6:48

went through all my notifications i did

6:49

not see it

6:50

uh they called me well i we talked on

6:52

the phone as soon as the truth gets out

6:55

things clean up he said and that's

6:57

pretty much the theme of

6:58

what i want to do as governor as well

7:01

everything will be transp well i mean

7:03

this is a little

7:04

this quote doesn't read perfectly the

7:06

the the idea

7:07

is you want to get the truth out there

7:09

right because

7:11

my goal as governor is that everything

7:13

will be transparent through social media

7:14

and youtube

7:15

we're already doing behind the scenes

7:17

vlogs on our channel about what we're

7:18

doing what our plans are

7:21

so that way the shady stuffs the shady

7:24

stuff gets cleaned up

7:25

because hey when you put stuff out there

7:28

all of a sudden things

7:29

happen to get fixed that's what

7:31

california needs we need no more

7:33

backroom deals with newsome and

7:34

lobbyists we need stuff cleaned up

7:37

and we need people to stop dying on our

7:38

streets i think the fifth largest

7:41

economy would be able to handle that all

7:43

right then

7:44

paphrath accused newsome of failing to

7:46

behave as a leader as the state faces

7:48

ongoing crises in homelessness housing

7:50

transportation education

7:52

yes as rules and regulations get tighter

7:55

and rents and taxes climb workers and

7:58

businesses alike are leaving the golden

8:00

state in unprecedented numbers he said

8:02

he referenced the exodus in his

8:04

gubernatorial announcement

8:06

i'm not effing leaving i'm running

8:08

instead haha nice catch

8:11

we've been talking about leaving for the

8:13

last three years

8:14

true story if you look at my i'm over it

8:17

tour that lauren and i were doing like

8:19

1819

8:20

we travel to states like florida

8:23

washington texas

8:26

nashville all states with way

8:30

less of this nevada right anyway

8:34

and it's always been a serious

8:35

consideration because it's impossible to

8:36

do business here

8:39

bingo in his real estate business for

8:40

example he said he was stuck sitting on

8:42

12

8:42

unit uh 12 vacant units for months upon

8:45

months amid

8:46

the statewide housing crisis because of

8:47

bureaucratic red tape

8:49

supposed to get approval within 60 days

8:51

they want six months

8:53

the government feels like this cancer

8:56

you can't get rid of he said

8:57

and the sad thing is the cancer doesn't

9:00

even like itself

9:02

the people working the teachers the

9:04

people working for unions the people

9:05

working in building and safety

9:06

departments

9:07

they're miserable too because they don't

9:09

want to work with miserable people

9:11

making other people's lives miserable

9:13

this is true we want to

9:14

imp this is what i want to do we want to

9:16

empower people

9:18

you don't want to be miserable making

9:20

people's lives miserable you want to

9:21

make a

9:22

difference there is no teacher who wants

9:24

to see a student fail

9:26

there is no bureaucrat who wants at

9:28

least i believe there is no bureaucrat

9:29

and maybe i'm too optimistic okay but i

9:31

believe it i believe that there's no one

9:33

in a union

9:34

or building and safety department that

9:35

wants to see people fail

9:37

their hands are tied it's not their

9:40

fault

9:40

it's gavin newsom's fault he's the boss

9:44

and he's failing so you get fired it's

9:47

not simple

9:48

the ceos gotta go oh there you go

9:51

that's our line the ceos gotta go

9:54

let me know what you think about that

9:55

one down below the latest social media

9:57

tussle with newsome

9:59

comes months after his state was

10:01

revealed to have used influence

10:03

to suppress certain speech surrounding

10:05

the 2020 election

10:08

oh it's happened before that program

10:11

affected the conservative group judicial

10:13

watch as well as the non-profit newsroom

10:16

that brought it to light

10:18

for paphrath resuscitating california

10:21

requires getting rid of newsome

10:25

bing fricken go newsome's gotta go

10:28

he said you've got to have some extreme

10:31

action

10:32

to try to streamline the progress of

10:34

this state

10:35

when told that millions of voters may

10:37

not seek

10:38

rolling back stringent regulations as

10:40

extreme

10:41

he laughed it's common sense he said but

10:44

unfortunately

10:45

common sense has been associated with

10:47

extreme in california

10:48

okay so let's clarify this a little bit

10:50

basically the interviewer said hey you

10:52

know

10:53

i don't know kevin maybe your actions

10:54

not that extreme maybe people will find

10:57

rolling back you know stringent

10:59

regulations as a good thing

11:01

and i laugh because i'm like yeah

11:04

duh like it's common sense to roll back

11:07

these regulations

11:08

but unfortunately common sense solutions

11:11

in california

11:12

are deemed extreme because the

11:15

politicians and people like gavin newsom

11:17

want to make sure

11:18

that they get their payoffs now look i

11:21

don't have any inside information about

11:23

whether or not gavin newsom's getting

11:25

paid off or his friends are making more

11:28

money because of his candidacy or

11:30

whatever

11:31

but look although then again there are

11:33

reports that

11:34

he made a lot more money while he was

11:36

governor in 2020 despite

11:38

restaurant and winery lockdowns maybe

11:40

that's because he didn't follow his own

11:41

rules

11:42

i don't know i guess we won't go there

11:43

but the point is folks look around

11:46

do you want california to continue to

11:48

degrade this way or do you want

11:49

california to improve

11:50

if you want to see california improve

11:52

and you're in a different state also

11:54

consider donating my campaign go to

11:55

meetkevin.com

11:56

donate i have a lot of people donating

11:58

from texas florida

12:00

uh nevada arizona why because people

12:03

want to send the californians back

12:05

that's not a bad thing californians

12:08

don't

12:09

want to have to leave they don't want

12:10

their state to be bad

12:12

they don't want their state to be what

12:14

it is now their state has become a

12:16

disaster

12:17

we've got to solve that california is

12:19

better than this

12:21

so it makes sense that people are voting

12:22

with their feet but i want people to

12:24

have the opportunity to stay if they

12:26

want

12:27

and i gotta create the california that

12:29

attracts people

12:31

not repels people check out the campaign
