0:00

hey everyone meet kevin here so you all

0:01

know that california is broken and nuts

0:03

well in this video i'm going to show you

0:05

how california at least from what i'm

0:07

discovering so far

0:08

we've just started our race for governor

0:10

our campaign for governor of california

0:12

in the 2021 recall election

0:13

i'm going to show you how corrupt the

0:15

system is already starting to look

0:17

so here's the thing first things first

0:20

there are donation limits when you go to

0:22

meetkevin.com

0:23

donate and you want to donate to a

0:25

candidate like me you have a limit of

0:27

about 32 000

0:28

that you can donate which seems like a

0:30

lot of money unless you are a

0:32

sitting governor who is up against a

0:34

recall

0:35

then the sitting governor has zero

0:39

campaign contribution limits which helps

0:41

us understand why the co-ceo of netflix

0:43

was just able to donate 3 million

0:45

dollars to gavin newsom

0:47

but everyone else fighting against him

0:48

is stuck at 32

0:50

000 so that's just part one of this and

0:54

we've got quite a few things to talk

0:55

about

0:56

see if we do research on the 70 billion

0:58

dollar surplus that california and gavin

1:00

newsom say we

1:01

all of a sudden have a 70 billion dollar

1:02

surplus and we have all this extra money

1:04

available to spend

1:05

we actually realize that gavin newsom is

1:06

counting federal funding and leftover

1:08

funding

1:09

from other years we actually only have a

1:12

surplus of about 38 billion dollars but

1:14

because gavin newsom is now going on a

1:16

spending spree thinking he has 70

1:18

billion dollars

1:19

he's actually putting us 12 billion

1:20

dollars into additional

1:22

debt so when we think oh we have a

1:24

surplus yay there are going to be

1:27

folks with late traffic fines that are

1:29

getting those fines waived in other

1:31

words newsome's buying

1:32

votes we're not using a surplus to do

1:35

that we're actually going into further

1:36

debt

1:37

so that newsome can make sure he gets

1:39

re-elected

1:40

but folks it doesn't just stop there

1:43

gavin newsom

1:44

yesterday cheered how sb-7

1:47

senate bill 7 is going to streamline

1:50

housing and make housing faster and more

1:52

efficient

1:52

folks let me tell you exactly what sb7

1:54

does because we actually read the bill

1:56

word for word and here's what it does

1:58

sp7 only helps folks

2:00

who have projects worth at least 15

2:03

million

2:04

so if you're developing anything worth

2:05

less than 15 million dollars you're not

2:07

even on the radar

2:08

of sp7 it also only applies to

2:10

multi-family units in infill locations

2:12

and

2:13

it only helps expedite the environmental

2:15

review process

2:17

and portion of the entire development

2:19

process for real estate so

2:20

you think this is going to speed up

2:21

housing it's not because guess what even

2:24

if you speed up the environmental review

2:26

process

2:27

in order to get authorization to have

2:29

your environmental process sped up

2:31

you actually have to apply to get

2:33

authorization to have your environmental

2:35

review

2:36

process sped up but guess where you have

2:38

to apply

2:39

the governor's office so in other words

2:42

gavin newsom is funneling anyone with

2:43

more than 15 million dollars to spend

2:46

right before a recall election through

2:48

his office

2:50

to get faster approvals folks i don't

2:53

know about you but that

2:54

sounds a little shady and folks this is

2:57

how gavin newsom is branding making real

2:59

estate more efficient and more

3:01

streamlined in the state

3:02

it makes it sound like the sound bite

3:05

essentially is that oh great we're

3:06

finally making real estate development

3:08

easier

3:08

no we're making rich 15 million

3:12

developments easier to funnel into gavin

3:14

newsom's pockets

3:16

so that gavin newsom can decide if he

3:18

wants to speed up the approval process

3:19

for your project

3:20

that's literally sp7 for you it's a

3:23

complete

3:24

disaster and it shows you how ridiculous

3:27

politics are in our country no wonder

3:30

we're spending 12 and a half times as

3:31

much money as we should be spending

3:33

on a high speed rail the game is rigged

3:36

so the governor's friends

3:37

can get payouts but folks it's not just

3:40

that the housing and rental assistance

3:44

that our state is supposed to be getting

3:47

is bogged down by such a disastrous

3:49

system

3:50

of the governor failing to coordinate

3:52

the state

3:53

that we now have la county releasing a

3:56

statement to the governor saying if the

4:00

governor does not streamline the process

4:02

for

4:02

rent relief and rent forgiveness in the

4:04

state

4:05

la county might no longer participate

4:07

with the state on future programs

4:09

now look i want to be clear okay i'm not

4:11

saying that the governor is definitely

4:13

corrupt

4:14

sending money to his friends and cronies

4:17

but it's certainly weird

4:18

that when the private sector tells us

4:20

they can build a high-speed rail for

4:22

one-twelfth of the cost why are we not

4:23

doing that as a governor

4:25

as government as california it's

4:27

questionable

4:28

why is the governor directing projects

4:31

for faster execution if they're more

4:33

expensive than 15 million

4:34

projects to his office it makes you

4:37

wonder i'm not saying the government is

4:39

corrupt but let's just say a lot of this

4:41

rhymes with

4:42

potential corruption and it's also

4:44

certainly

4:45

shady that we have you know unlimited

4:48

donations possible for the

4:50

existing governor but not for everybody

4:52

else it kind of rhymes with the governor

4:54

shutting down hospitality in restaurants

4:57

but dining with lobbyists at the french

5:00

laundry last year at the peak of

5:01

the pandemic it is for gavin

5:04

but not for everyone else it is very

5:08

shady not only the rental assistance

5:10

problem but the surplus problem

5:12

sb7s a failure and this donation

5:16

disaster

5:17

to me are all signs that it is time to

5:20

vote gavin newsom out of office

5:22

it's time for a transparent process in

5:24

politics

5:25

nobody's going to be more transparent

5:26

than somebody who shows you the behind

5:28

the scenes of their campaign

5:30

every single day you're going to see

5:31

where every single dollar goes in our

5:33

campaign but you're also

5:34

going to see where every single dollar

5:36

goes when i'm running this state

5:38

because i'm tired of people wasting

5:40

money in the state

5:41

and it's not our workers it's not our

5:43

unions it's not our teachers that are at

5:45

fault and it's not the people receiving

5:46

money from the state they're in our

5:47

fault

5:48

it's gavin newsom's fault he is the

5:50

problem and he's standing in the way

5:52

of making california what it should be a

5:55

golden state

5:56

i will change that go to meet kevin.com

5:58

donate to donate to the campaign

6:00

vote yes on recall 21 and vote yes on

6:03

meet kevin pafran for governor
