Fox News JUST Confronted me on Primetime.

[Applause]

big day election day here and moments

we'll speak with larry elder who is the

front runner as we head into the

counting joining me now though kevin

paffrath he is one of the democratic

challengers to governor newsom real

estate investor he's a youtube star with

almost 2 million followers and no doubt

more on the way

as you make your name in this race how

are you feeling today and what do you

think is going to

how do you think this is going to shake

out i'm very excited it's going to send

a message to california and america that

people are fed up with the policies that

are failing in california we're in the

bottom 20 of schools in the country

we're the fifth largest economy in the

world we should be focused not on

fear-mongering the other side other

party politics we should be focused on

becoming not the fifth largest economy

in the world but the fourth largest

economy in the world those are the

policies we should be focused on and

that's what we're not hearing in this

because we're too focused on slamming

the other side so you know the

indication is that democrats didn't want

any democrats to run against governor

newsom and you're the highest polling

after larry elder at least right now

if we can believe the polls that that

we're taking a look at out there and

there's a smattering of them um so you

know how do you feel about the part

you might be pulling away six percent of

his vote

of larry elder's votes

well i hope so i hope to win i hope to

replace gavin newsom because his

policies have been an abject failure i

consider him the fly tape over a pile of

poop of policies he catches a few flies

and he thinks he's a success it's a big

problem

well it's because the party politics in

california are very entrenched running

as a democrat i can't even get a

democratic attorney democratic campaign

advisors or fundraisers because they

would be blacklisted from the party the

party is very exclusive uh they uh you

know i consider myself part of the same

party and part of the democratic party

but i'm not part of the state you gotta

shut out i ain't talking about shutout

yeah you know obviously he has big

support from the teachers unions i think

they are the largest union supporter um

and he kept the schools shut down would

you are you is your platform in favor of

school choice are you anti-teachers

union or so first of all lockdowns are

unacceptable we need better ventilation

not lockdowns regarding schools i think

we've got to really re-envision our

schools

school choice is a sign that people are

frustrated with how our schools are

failing but then you have a choice of

crappy schools our schools aren't good

so we've got to elevate all of our

schools in my opinion we do that by

reforming the what we teach in schools

focus on practical applications like

financial education and business

communication skills so people at 18 can

get a career you don't get that now what

do you get at 18 is either hundreds of

thousands of dollars of student debt or

a minimum wage job it's no surprise that

one third of californians are on

medi-cal which is a poverty support

program but do you favor opening up more

school choices more charter schools that

kind of thing oh and in fact yes in fact

what i want to do is create future

schools to compete with our existing

school system you know i'm going to

speak with larry elder in a moment and

he has suggested that there might be a

fraudulent outcome to this election

today uh you know as someone who's

bucking the system here do you think

that there is anything to not trust in

this system i think everybody should

vote i'm going to believe the outcomes

but i'm a trust but verify person

always for audits but vote do not not

vote personally and many other people

have told me this sometimes i wonder if

larry elder is a plant by gavin newsom

because he has been a gift to gavin

newsom's campaign uh and it's

unfortunate because that's the

mudslinging they've been able to do

which i think is somewhat unfair to

larry elder but no i will accept the

results of the election and i'm always

for people voting and then us auditing

the results the audits come back clean i

believe them okay kevin patrick nice to

meet you pleasure thank you and

everybody else who's in this race uh

this evening and uh governor newsom

who's uh obviously seeking to hold his

honda his job nice to meet you thank you

for being here yeah let me ask you a

couple of questions i i've heard um you

know i'm glad you're getting your word

out obviously it's election day but you

know when

i just spoke with kevin papparoth who is

running as a democrat as you probably

know there's 46 people who are running

um he said that you were a gift

to gavin newsom and when you look at the

polls there was it was a much tighter

race at the point when you got in and

then it expanded in newsome's direction

so how do you respond to that

well i'm the front-runner and obviously

he's going to turn his guns on whoever

the front runner is uh if somebody else

had been the front runner believe me

they would have a narrative against that

person look one more time they've never

uttered the following words gavin newsom

has done a good job on crime gavin

newsom has done a good job on

homelessness gavin newsom has done a

good job on the average home in

california just hitting 800 000 dollars

150 more than the national average

people are leaving for the very first

time in the state's 170 year history

they haven't defended him on fire

management they haven't defended him on

the fact that we are running out of

water because we haven't added to our

water infrastructure in about 40 years

when the state was half the size they

haven't defended his record on rolling

brown house because of the poor

management of our power grid they've

never defended his record they've all

said republican republican republicans

because that's all they've got the

president is in california this evening

making a last-ditch effort to rally

support for the embattled governor

joining me now is kevin pafrath he's the

leading in the polls as a top democrat

to replace gavin newsom

kevin thanks so much for joining the

program i've been checking you out

hearing your thoughts i'm just curious

how you feel about the democrat

establishment trying to push you out of

the way according to them this is a

republican recall last time i checked

you're a democrat right

that's 100 correct i've been a democrat

since i registered at 18. and look

here's the thing the democratic party

has gone so far to the left i call

myself a jfk style democrat because i

think we got to go back to the common

sense solutions gavin newsom's running a

fear-mongering campaign and that's

because he can't stand on policy his his

shiny object to complain about is larry

elder and he can't stand on anything

that matters which is homelessness

housing schooling water fires the big

issues we have because he's been a

failure that's why i'm running

yeah so talk about your democrat

establishment though why are they

getting involved in this race because

that's anti-democrat right

of course yeah they and they have to

because they're fearful of the people in

charge like gavin newsom they are so

fearful that i can't even get a

democratic attorney to represent me when

i need legal help because they say sorry

if we go on record as supporting a

republican recall then then we can't get

future democratic clients i'm like what

are you talking about it's a california

recall the establishment is so powerful

the money and media has just corrupted

the process and and i don't want to be

tin foil hat but my eyes have just been

opened but i'm going to keep fighting so

kevin i i got i got to ask you this

why not switch parties or become an

independent business clear that your

party leaders don't want you there

that's okay i believe that voters

determine elections and i have some

progressive priorities that i very much

stand for for example i think we should

pay adults in poverty two thousand

dollars a month to go to future schools

to get a financial education learn a

career so we can get them off of welfare

and off of medical and we can break the

cycle of crime and poverty in the state

and homelessness those are some of the

priorities that i think lean slightly

more left but look i call myself jfk

style because i believe i'm 51.49 i'm so

in the middle okay i just want

californian solutions you don't sound

much like a democrat you sound like a

average day republican

moderate

i've read your stance on crime and you

don't believe in the funding the police

and all that uh i'm gonna be following

this race brother and even if you don't

win it uh i look forward to seeing you

more thanks so much for coming on the

show

thanks for having me full plan at

meetkevin.com all right also here

tonight tommy larry host of no

interruption on fox nation tommy you

used to live in california i got to ask

you this because i've done a lot of

reporting in california especially on

the crime the homelessness crisis and i

go out there and i talk to democrats

they believe that gavin newsom is a

failure but they never tell me that they

will give the republicans a shot what do

you think this all about

i think that there is something to be

said in california about being a quiet

conservative having conservative

principles and policies independent

freedom loving principles policies and

ideals but not wanting to say that

you're a republican or a libertarian or

a conservative in any way because you

will be blacklisted and you will be

really treated horribly by the liberals

that run that state even as your last

guest just said he has a d behind his

name but because he does not placate to

that big machine establishment he has

also been an outcast so a lot of

californians are nervous but i do think

the pendulum is swinging they are

getting bold you saw 1.7 million plus

signatures for this recall election

i think things are changing in deep blue

california at the california recall

election it is tomorrow this is your

last chance summer dance to get rid of

the state's tyrannical do-nothing

governor he is the worst the stakes are

high for californians with mandatory

child masking and vaccinations on the

line not to mention homelessness

wildfires high taxes high crime so is

gavin newsom about to get a swift kick

in his california raisins and who's the

right person to replace him if he does

here with me now i've got california

state assembly member kevin kylie

meet kevin youtuber you've seen him on

this very program kevin paffroff and

riverside county supervisor jeff hewitt

all three candidates hoping to defeat

newsome tomorrow but there can be

only one uh kevin number one kevin kiley

i will start with you

you started your career in los angeles

as a math teacher with teach for america

you also went to harvard and yale so you

know a lot about education you also know

that california throws a lot of money at

their public schools and they have

horrific teachers unions who are

essentially calling all the shots what

is gavin newsom done wrong and what will

you do right in terms of education kevin

kiley

well uh thank you for having me on i

actually taught 10th grade english math

might not have been nice

no one no one knows either in l.a yeah

they don't they don't pass there's no

one in proficiency at grade level

proficiency so it's all the same

anywhere exactly exactly but uh you know

and i saw firsthand as a teacher i

actually just visited my old school

there today uh the failures of our

public education system firsthand and

the reason that we are failing our kids

is because corrupt politicians like

gavin newsom are completely owned by the

state's biggest special interest whose

business model is keeping kids trapped

in failing schools that is more true

here in california than anywhere even

prior to copenhagen we were 49th out of

50 when it came to how well our kids do

in underserved communities and of course

during tovan 19 we had the worst school

shutdown of any state we were 50th out

of 50 in getting our kids back to school

and what do you know the teachers unions

are massively funding gavin newsom's

anti-recall campaign as he hints at yet

another school shutdown all right so uh

let's talk a little bit about

homelessness kevin you know you saw the

the piece that i just did uh flying over

with the l.a county sheriff's department

flying over a large swaths of l.a county

from deep in the san gabriel valley all

the way up to

lost hills what is gavin newsom done

wrong with homelessness and how would

you make it better kevin paffrath the

other day

you've done everything wrong with

homelessness uh i actually proposed an

audit of statewide homelessness spending

and gavin knew some interviews no the

other kevin sorry that was for that was

for kevin papraff not kevin kylie sorry

i didn't know my friend was on with yeah

no worries you know what i i think it's

great there's so much excitement over

over solutions because that's what

governor gavin newsom doesn't do so i

appreciate kevin kiley because he also

realizes we've got to have a governor

who's going gonna do something we've got

a failed leader in my opinion governor

newsom is like fly tape there's a pile

of poop that he doesn't want to pick up

but he catches a few flies and says oh

look i'm solving things he's not solving

problems we need massive statewide

action from a governor to solve the

homeless crisis and the sheriff was

correct we got to deal with the mental

health problem by providing services

providing drug services providing places

where homeless can go to where they

don't have to wait six months to get a

mental health evaluation they get

services today and now and we need a

governor to lead that change not sit

around trying to fear monger larry elder

so jeff let me ask you this because

there's plenty of revenue in california

the state is running an 8 billion dollar

surplus uh and

sorry 20 billion dollars and just got 80

billion dollars from the federal

government

with the covid money so they've got

enough money but they're obviously

misspending it

how has gavin newsom mismanage the

california budget and how would you make

that better jeff

well first of all he's totally

mismanaged in the sense that we've got

nearly a trillion dollars in unfunded

liabilities just in public employed

pensions so when you talk about a 20

billion dollar windfall what's 20

billion out of over a trillion

he is taking uh

he's we've got the highest taxes i

believe uh in the country on almost

every level and we're getting you know

we got crumbling roads we've got uh

some of the worst outcomes on on

education and what he does he just tries

to buy out in fact this last this is why

it's so important on question number one

we have to vote yes on question number

one because he has basically spent these

windfalls that he think he has to try to

buy votes in these last several months

and it's

i guess when you're king that's what you

get to do

yeah and and literally like all three of

you have comprehensive plans like all

three of you care deeply about the state

and i i hope that you all run for

governor

again and and face newsome again but

literally any other person in the state

would do a better job than him my

neighbor pam

who has no interest in politics and who

would never run for governor she's

actually a designer in a ballerina i

think that she would do a much better

job than gavin newsom so kevin kelly if

you had to vote for anyone else for the

job who would it be

well i'm gonna be voting for myself i i

hate to uh you know sound uh

self-serving in that manner but i do

make sure that you find there are a few

kevin's on the bout including my friend

on this call so find my my name kevin

kiley but i will say this you know we

have on this call we have i'm a

republican we have a democrat and we

have a libertarian that's right that is

representative of the diversity of this

movement that it has not been partisan

in any way shape or form it is but you

know gavin newsom has this funny way of

bringing people together like that

because this is a movement to restore

integrity to our state government and

really just to get back to basics in a

state where people are asking themselves

go ahead there are so many people uh who

despise him we're running out of time

kevin paffroth will you run for governor

again

absolutely we've got to bring change to

california that's why i'm running as a

jfk democrat because the democratic

party has gone way too far left we've

got to focus on the californian issues

that unite us like cali said look we're

all representative of the problems we

have in california we got to focus on

the big ones housing homelessness

schools let's focus on those and not on

the fear-mongering politics of the

extreme left and the extreme right all

right we've got 10 seconds jeff hewitt

could a libertarian

ever win statewide office in california

i believe so i'm a libertarian and i uh

preside in a county of two and a half

million people in the tenth largest

county in the united states we are ready

for

one of libertarians

leading candidates using that word too

and i will make sure that uh i do

everything i can for the people of uh

riverside county going forward and we'll

see what happens

inland emperor kevin kevin and jeff good

luck tomorrow

i will vote for one of you thank you
