hey i'm kevin pafrath i go by meet kevin

0:02

online and i'm running for governor

0:03

to replace gavin newsom my policies are

0:06

aimed at solving the primary issues we

0:08

have in the state of california

0:09

which i don't believe are republican or

0:11

democratic at heart

0:13

i believe we have californian issues in

0:15

california now even though i'm running

0:17

as a democrat

0:18

i view myself as a californian for

0:20

example

0:21

my plan includes building 80 emergency

0:23

facilities with the national guard

0:25

to provide mental health and substance

0:27

abuse services educational services

0:29

and basic life services like a bed a

0:32

shower

0:32

a toilet and food to all homeless within

0:35

60 days

0:36

we will end homeless living on our

0:39

streets

0:40

and worse dying on our streets

0:43

more homeless die on our streets every

0:46

year

0:46

than people in california die to gun

0:48

violence and we have a gun violence

0:51

epidemic

0:52

now if you like my solution so far on

0:53

homelessness imagine all of the other

0:55

solutions that i've got for the rest of

0:57

our problems in our state

0:58

which we're going to go through some of

1:00

right now but i do want to ask you to

1:02

consider going to meetkevin.com

1:03

donate and donate it to the cause

1:06

because we need

1:07

help to beat governor gavin newsom

1:10

and the mismanaged government we have

1:12

right now we need your help

1:14

otherwise we won't be able to make it so

1:16

consider donating at be kevin.com

1:18

donate i will also introduce future

1:21

schools to our communities which will

1:22

allow

1:23

high school students to graduate at 18

1:25

with career focused skills

1:26

enabling them to get hired at 18 and

1:29

they'll have a financial education

1:31

for free and without debt these future

1:34

schools will also be available to adults

1:36

and adults attending these separated

1:38

future schools we're looking to get a

1:40

career which is what we're going to

1:41

teach them we're going to combine

1:42

community college high school trade

1:45

school and financial education

1:47

and for the adults attending future

1:48

schools we will pay them

1:50

two thousand dollars a month for up to

1:51

two years in exchange for them attending

1:54

future schools why it's simple a forty

1:57

eight thousand dollar investment two

1:59

years times two thousand dollars a month

2:01

will help us lower the cost of medical

2:03

welfare

2:04

and poverty related expenses much more

2:06

than forty eight thousand dollars while

2:07

reducing

2:08

crime by encouraging adults to reskill

2:10

in our future schools

2:11

consider this inmates today cost us

2:13

about a hundred fifty thousand dollars a

2:15

year to house

2:16

forty eight thousand dollars all of a

2:17

sudden doesn't seem that much in future

2:19

schools

2:19

to re-educate people to prevent them

2:22

from

2:22

going down the path of crime in the

2:24

first place san francisco spends five

2:26

thousand dollars per month per tenth

2:28

to house homeless individuals that's

2:32

sixty thousand dollars for one year two

2:34

thousand dollars a month for two years

2:36

and educating folks in a career is again

2:38

just forty eight thousand dollars

2:40

homeless and inmates will have access to

2:43

our adult future schools

2:45

and so that way we can reduce the causes

2:48

of crime

2:49

poverty and homelessness additionally

2:52

i'm going to prioritize the

2:53

redevelopment

2:54

of commercial and office buildings into

2:56

homes

2:57

i'm going to speed up building permits

2:59

no more waiting six weeks to get a

3:01

ceiling friend permit

3:02

and i will make it a goal of building

3:04

500 000

3:05

new housing units throughout california

3:08

each year for the next five years

3:10

we have over 482 communities throughout

3:12

california we have plenty of room and

3:14

this means we just need about a thousand

3:16

properties or thousand housing units per

3:19

city

3:20

per year but what we need folks to have

3:22

more affordable housing in california

3:25

is more housing and that way we can stop

3:27

bleeding our state

3:28

dry of talent that is fleeing our state

3:32

to texas florida idaho and las vegas

3:36

see i believe that california is great

3:38

california is beautiful and the people

3:40

of california are smart

3:41

and that california has a real shot at

3:43

being the fourth largest economy in the

3:45

world

3:46

it's currently the fifth largest with

3:48

this vision in mind we can't

3:49

nonchalantly brush off the fact that

3:51

people are fleeing california

3:53

we can't use babies being born and

3:56

students coming to california

3:58

offsetting the fact that working men and

4:01

women over 18

4:02

are leaving the state and taking their

4:04

revenues

4:05

with them folks with the vision in mind

4:09

of becoming the fourth largest economy

4:10

in the world

4:12

we'll be able to lower poverty reduce

4:14

crime with more community policing

4:16

reduce the cost of housing by providing

4:18

cheaper alternatives by giving the free

4:20

market what it needs

4:21

more supply and we'll have better

4:24

schools so that folks can get into high

4:25

paying careers

4:26

like nursing computer programming

4:28

electrical and mechanical engineering

4:30

and more

4:30

and at the same time will lower the cost

4:32

of programs like section 8

4:34

medical and welfare now we're not taking

4:37

any of those programs away

4:38

the argument is that we should focus on

4:41

giving

4:42

folks the opportunity to gain dignity to

4:44

get dignity

4:45

back build their knowledge with a career

4:49

and get fully educated to where they

4:51

don't need to be on these programs

4:53

through their choice because they're

4:55

making more money

4:56

and folks we can't keep teaching our

4:59

students chemistry in high school

5:01

and expecting them to build those

5:03

careers

5:04

or expecting them to know how to build

5:05

wealth at 18 without a financial

5:07

education

5:08

it doesn't make sense that ends with me

5:11

i am running to be a common sense

5:14

governor to stop wasting money

5:17

in addition i'm going to help solve our

5:19

traffic and water shortage crisis by

5:21

repurposing wasteful spending

5:23

for example the high-speed rail will

5:24

eventually service folks traveling from

5:26

bakersfield to san francisco

5:27

in three hours places that folks can

5:30

actually fly between

5:31

much faster and without stops and so

5:34

this is interesting see

5:35

the high-speed rail solves a traffic

5:37

problem we

5:38

don't actually have the argument though

5:40

is that the high-speed rail will help

5:42

our economy become green

5:43

and expand our economy but unfortunately

5:47

the high-speed rail won't do either of

5:48

those things

5:49

see environmentally it'll take 71

5:52

years to break even on the high-speed

5:55

rail

5:56

because of the amount of carbon that

5:57

we're pumping into the environment

5:59

building the rail in the first place

6:01

economically

6:02

the high-speed rail will be a break even

6:04

over 70 years at best

6:07

so instead of spending a hundred billion

6:08

dollars on wasteful projects

6:10

think about what we could do immediately

6:12

not over the next 71 years

6:14

with just 5.2 billion dollars or 5.2

6:17

percent

6:17

of what we're slated to spend on a

6:19

high-speed rail we could end our water

6:21

crisis

6:22

we could build one aqueduct between los

6:24

angeles and boston

6:26

buy cheaper and cleaner water and

6:28

support our san joaquin valley farmers

6:31

by stopping the fact that we are

6:33

pleading them dry of water

6:34

to send water to los angeles we could

6:37

end

6:38

the water crisis folks we could also

6:41

eliminate income taxes on californians

6:42

making less than 250 000

6:44

for three years by eliminating the high

6:47

speed rail

6:48

what would you rather have high speed

6:50

rail or no income taxes for three years

6:52

folks we can also work with our private

6:54

businesses to build

6:55

a variable direction toll road tunnels

6:59

where we build tunnels guess what not

7:02

somewhere we don't need them

7:03

but somewhere we actually need them like

7:05

congestion points along highways or

7:07

under highways like the 5

7:09

the 101 and the 405 that way we're

7:12

building additional roads

7:13

where we need them and since they'll be

7:15

optional and variable direction toll

7:17

roads they'll always flow with the main

7:19

direction of traffic

7:20

and no one will be forced to use them

7:22

because they'll be under existing

7:24

freeways we'll just make sure that buses

7:27

can use them

7:28

for free to speed up public

7:29

transportation and anybody who wants to

7:31

pay for them

7:31

can pay for them and when they do we'll

7:34

be able to lower the gas tax

7:36

and we'll be able to upgrade our roads

7:38

appropriately

7:39

and finally end the pothole problem we

7:42

have in california

7:43

which is really just symbolic of a

7:45

mismanaged government

7:46

folks if you want a common sense

7:48

government you need to have a common

7:50

sense
