FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

one of the candidates you will be seeing

0:01

on your recall ballot is a 29 year old

0:04

YouTube millionaire his name is Kevin

0:06

pathrath you've been hearing a lot about

0:08

him right now and if he wins he would

0:11

become the youngest governor in

0:13

California's history Kevin joins us now

0:15

to talk about his campaign gubernatorial

0:17

candidate Kevin pafrath am I doing okay

0:20

with that you're doing great right down

0:22

the middle pafroth you nailed it I'm a

0:24

JFK style Democrat I'm right in the

0:25

middle as well you know I love it

0:27

because I'm on your website and one of

0:28

the very first things it says is Kevin

0:30

pathrath pronounced path rap so I do

0:34

like I do like the meet Kevin campaign

0:36

as well so you your YouTube channel is

0:39

called meet Kevin it's extremely

0:40

successful but now you're deciding to

0:43

punish yourself and put your hat into

0:45

the political Arena tell me why

0:47

I'm running to be governor of California

0:50

because I'm so worried that in 20 years

0:52

my children are going to look at me

0:54

they're three and five right now and in

0:55

20 years they're going to say Dad why

0:57

did you pick California to raise us in

0:59

and that's what I don't want I want

1:00

California to be exceptional I want my

1:02

children to be proud of the state in 20

1:04

years and right now the fact that we're

1:05

ranked 40th in schools we're the fifth

1:07

largest economy in the world but we

1:08

can't even help people not die on the

1:11

street due to homelessness it's

1:12

unacceptable we've got major Californian

1:15

problems and we've got a failed leader

1:17

running the state and that's why this

1:18

recall is happening it's not a

1:20

republican recall it's a Californian

1:21

recall we need a better leader that's

1:23

why we got to vote Yes on Kevin

1:24

pfeffrath yeah there you go so on your

1:27

uh website you have why yes on the

1:30

recall and I think this is really

1:31

compelling because you have all these

1:33

false claims that you say were made by

1:35

the governor and then you factually back

1:37

it up let's start with the first one

1:39

Governor claims we have 75.7 billion

1:42

dollars in Surplus suggesting California

1:44

is flush with money is that true

1:48

it's absolutely not look here's the

1:49

thing California Surplus was created

1:52

half by the federal government they

1:54

double counted this money and then the

1:56

other half was spent on vote buying

1:58

schemes like forgiving traffic tickets

1:59

to where now the LA time says we're

2:01

actually going into a 12 billion dollar

2:03

deficit Governor Newsom spending like

2:05

this money is going to keep coming year

2:06

after year but he doesn't understand the

2:08

finances of it I don't think he's even

2:10

paying attention because the reality is

2:11

this Surplus came from a boom in IPOs

2:15

initial public offerings in the stock

2:16

market which I study every single day

2:18

and the reality is the boom's over the

2:20

IPL boom is over we're not going to have

2:22

that massive windfall of money in 2021

2:25

you know when we do our reconciliation

2:27

next year like we did from the 2020

2:29

stock market but governor knows some

2:30

spending like this money is just going

2:32

to keep coming forever the reality is if

2:33

we keep going the way we're running this

2:35

state right now for 20 years we're gonna

2:37

be bankrupt are you getting any pushback

2:39

from the Democratic Party

2:41

the Democratic party is trying to

2:43

pretend I don't exist right now in some

2:45

part because they're suggesting oh just

2:48

vote Yes or sorry vote no other recalls

2:50

what they're suggesting keep Newsome and

2:52

then leave the second part of the ballot

2:54

blank I think this is Un-American to

2:56

leave part of the ballot blank everybody

2:57

should be filling in the second part of

2:59

the ballot they should get educated

3:00

about their options I believe they

3:02

should go to meet kevin.com and consider

3:03

voting for Kevin pafrath on the second

3:05

question but I think the reason the

3:07

Democratic party is a little confused is

3:09

because they're trying to call this a

3:10

republican recall but now we're leading

3:12

in the polls making it making sure

3:14

Californians know this is not a

3:16

republican recall it is a recall of a

3:18

failed leader Gavin Newsom and we just

3:20

need a new Centrist with real solutions

3:22

and that's what we have yeah you're very

3:24

bold because you are going out there and

3:26

saying hey we need this emergency plan I

3:28

guess if it if the recall actually goes

3:31

through but then you're also backing

3:33

that up with a lot of policies saying

3:36

you're going to do this you're going to

3:37

do that you brought up a poll there is a

3:39

recent poll has you in the as the the

3:42

front runner 27 percent Larry Elder at

3:44

23 percent the margin of error is 5.4 so

3:48

you're kind of neck and neck with with

3:50

elder what do you think is going to set

3:52

you apart other than the D after your

3:54

name

3:55

yeah absolutely well here's what we got

3:56

to remember is that uh Larry Elder

3:58

believes that he can go into Governor

4:00

government and just veto whatever the

4:02

Democrats do that was possible under

4:04

Arnold Schwarzenegger's governorship

4:05

when Democrats only had 60 to 64 control

4:08

in Congress now the assembly and Senate

4:11

have 72 to 75 percent control we've gone

4:13

so far to the left side in the assembly

4:16

and in the Senate that there's no way a

4:18

republican Governor is going to be able

4:19

to do anything so I personally believe

4:21

the Democratic party isn't even

4:23

concerned and this is why they're

4:24

potentially saying leave the second part

4:26

of the ballot blank I think they think

4:27

if a republican Governor gets in the

4:29

legislature is just going to run the

4:30

state Republican Governor is going to be

4:32

a lame duck for a year nothing's going

4:34

to get done in 2022 the Democrats are

4:36

going to say see should have had a

4:37

Democrat Republican couldn't get

4:38

anything done I don't want to gamble

4:40

with Californians lives for a year I

4:41

want to get stuff done in the next year

4:43

because we're running out of time we're

4:44

going to go bankrupt if we don't start

4:46

solving the issues we have homelessness

4:47

housing traffic crime water fire we got

4:51

to stop misleading Californians be

4:52

transparent with Californians and honest

4:54

with them and operate the state with a

4:57

business mindset while also respecting

4:59

government negotiations and politics

5:01

that we have you know it's interesting

5:02

you brought up that point because I've

5:03

said that to every gubernatorial

5:05

candidate I've talked to who is a

5:07

republican how are you going to work

5:08

with these very left uh State Assembly

5:11

and state state senate State Assembly so

5:14

how would you work with them if you are

5:16

more of a moderate you called yourself a

5:17

JFK Democrat how would you get anything

5:19

done

5:21

here's what we're going to do within the

5:23

first 60 days and the full plan for this

5:24

is on meet kevin.com but within the

5:26

first 60 days we're going to make sure

5:27

we have beds for 160 000 homeless

5:29

individuals everyone we're going to make

5:31

sure they get food mental health

5:32

education or or support substance abuse

5:35

support every dollar we spend on

5:36

substance abuse saves three dollars in

5:38

crime we're going to be efficient with

5:39

what we do and after 60 days of my

5:41

Administration nobody Sleeps on our

5:43

streets no more tense cities there no

5:45

nobody's getting locked up nobody's

5:47

going to jail but nobody's allowed on

5:48

our streets anymore we're gonna make

5:49

sure people have facilities they can go

5:51

there if they want but they cannot sleep

5:52

on my streets and after 60 days nobody's

5:55

sleeping on the streets anymore we

5:56

finally have cleaner and safer streets

5:58

that's going to be a massive win for

6:00

everyone's District in California now I

6:02

go to legislature and say look we've got

6:04

a much cleaner State we've started

6:06

dealing with the problems we have on our

6:08

streets now let's deal with the causes

6:10

of homelessness Let's Talk education

6:12

6:14

have a massive infrastructure bill that

6:17

both Republicans and Democrats can get

6:18

behind let's take advantage of this this

6:21

a power that we have in California the

6:22

money that we do have and let's finally

6:24

do right with common sense solve our

6:27
