0:00

hey everyone me kevin here in this video

0:01

i'm going to tell you exactly how to

0:03

become president with the evil truths

0:06

that i learned about elections and

0:07

politics by running a campaign for

0:09

governor in california

0:11

step number one i want you to take all

0:14

of your specific plans everything that

0:17

you believe government should do and

0:19

write it down every specific plan you

0:21

have and every detail that you have

0:24

as a function of the solutions that you

0:26

desire in your government and write them

0:27

down a nice list

0:30

wherever you write that down

0:32

close it up

0:34

put it into a drawer

0:36

and close it

0:37

forget about it

0:38

you are not going to win a campaign on

0:42

policy

0:43

plans

0:44

every plan can be debated

0:47

you need something that can't be debated

0:51

because see every plan you come up with

0:53

has individuals who come out and say

0:55

things like well in order for that plan

0:57

to work you're going to have to pay for

0:59

it somehow you're going to have to get

1:00

through that politician or that judge or

1:02

that law you're going to have to get

1:03

that permitted work with that union and

1:05

work against that union or be careful of

1:08

that tribe

1:10

plans are very dangerous plans are a

1:13

great way to alienate people who might

1:16

be supportive of your ideas or your

1:19

goals

1:20

but plans in politics are very dangerous

1:23

even though we feel like wait a minute

1:26

we should elect people based off policy

1:28

and we should elect politicians to

1:30

represent us based off who has the best

1:33

plan

1:34

that's not what works in politics see

1:36

there's too much you can disagree with

1:38

in a plan so what you need is something

1:40

that everyone can agree on

1:43

let me give you an example in our real

1:44

lives

1:45

let's say you take a math test

1:47

and you score an 89 on that math test

1:51

with your plan of acing that test

1:55

you came short 89 percent you didn't ace

1:57

it

1:58

your friend scored a 90

2:01

they didn't get 100

2:02

but they scored better than you

2:05

in this case it's black or white

2:08

your friend's plan is better than yours

2:11

you lost you mathematically failed it is

2:14

black or white it is 90 percent versus

2:18

89

2:20

but what if you both hate math

2:24

well wait a minute

2:25

who hates math more

2:27

did you wake up in the middle of the

2:29

night because you hate math and had a

2:31

nightmare about math which one of you

2:33

despises math so much that you get

2:35

stressed out and anxious over math

2:38

and which one of you gets stressed out

2:40

more if both of you get stressed out but

2:42

wait a minute does it matter you both

2:45

hate math you both agree you both hate

2:49

math see debating plans

2:52

does not work in politics much like the

2:55

math test

2:56

and your comparison to your friend

2:59

you each might have your own individual

3:00

plans but until that test is taken until

3:03

you are actually in office that plan

3:05

does not work

3:06

you can agree though that you both hate

3:09

math and see that's what works in

3:11

politics

3:13

that's how you win power

3:15

that's how you become a governor and

3:17

that's how you become a president

3:19

you work with emotion that everyone can

3:23

agree on you use broad not specific but

3:27

very broad ideas to guide that emotion

3:32

so

3:33

here are the steps to become a president

3:36

or a powerful politician

3:39

step number one

3:40

create

3:42

fear

3:43

you have to create

3:45

fear

3:46

about

3:47

something

3:48

for example

3:50

when

3:51

obama

3:52

ran for president

3:54

obama ran on the fear of the status quo

3:57

recession potential depression and war

4:03

when

4:04

donald trump ran for president he ran on

4:07

the fear of the status quo america's

4:10

crumbling exceptionalism america being

4:13

the world police spending more money on

4:15

other countries than we feel at least on

4:18

ourselves

4:20

that is a fear this is where mega or

4:23

make america great again came from

4:26

when joe biden ran for president he ran

4:30

on the fear

4:32

of a donald trump presidency

4:35

when gavin newsom ran for governor in

4:37

california he didn't run on policies

4:41

like housing homelessness schools water

4:43

fire or crime

4:45

he ran on the fear

4:48

that somebody was going to come into

4:50

california a state where over 75

4:55

that's three out of four californians

4:57

believe in vaccines and masking and

5:01

believe in ending covid through whatever

5:03

means necessary

5:05

gavin newsom ran on a platform that said

5:08

if you don't elect newsom somebody else

5:10

is going to come in

5:11

and turn us into a texas or florida and

5:13

undo all of these restrictions

5:15

now you might be in texas or florida and

5:17

you might go hey hey i i support those

5:19

ideals that's fine but in california

5:22

when three out of four people are

5:24

fearful of removing covet restrictions

5:28

somebody who represents that fear

5:31

becomes

5:32

the face of evil and this is where gavin

5:35

newsom in the california governor race

5:37

which i was a part of

5:39

did not have to run on policy all he had

5:41

to do was run on

5:43

fear

5:44

and so step one is finding a

5:47

fear that everyone or not necessarily

5:49

everyone but the majority of people can

5:53

relate to

5:54

see for example if you are aoc and you

5:58

represent the bronx which has a

6:00

26.1 poverty rate are you going to run

6:04

on a platform to lower taxes for the

6:06

rich

6:08

no of course not

6:10

all you need is a broad idea not a plan

6:13

not a plan because remember plans can be

6:15

broken apart all you need is broad-based

6:17

ideas like

6:19

tax the rich

6:20

cancel rent cancel student debt monthly

6:23

stimulus checks

6:25

that's popular and that creates fear of

6:28

the status quo and hope for a better

6:31

future see fear and hope are just

6:34

opposite faces of the same coin

6:36

remember obama ran on hope

6:39

biden ran on

6:41

fear

6:43

it's all about fear or hope

6:46

and after you step one identify what

6:48

that fear is you have to create the

6:51

representation of that fear so number

6:54

two you need a scapegoat number one you

6:57

find fear number two you need a reason

6:59

that fear exists

7:02

see for

7:04

obama that fear existed because of

7:06

george w bush the fear of what happened

7:09

continued war recession

7:12

that was the fear and so bush became the

7:14

representation of that republicans

7:17

became the representation of the status

7:19

quo in the obama election

7:21

when donald trump was elected obama was

7:24

the scapegoat and

7:26

therefore hillary clinton became the

7:29

representation of a continued obama era

7:32

of a lack of potential exceptionalism

7:34

although again i'm not trying to get

7:35

political hearing about parties we're

7:37

just saying who ultimately ended up

7:38

winning right donald trump ran on the

7:41

fear

7:42

of

7:43

hillary clinton that scapegoat that

7:46

existing or continuity of those policies

7:49

which maybe did not put america first at

7:51

least that was the branding see a lot of

7:53

this is in the branding

7:55

so whether it's right or not does not

7:57

matter what matters is the branding so

8:00

number one you create fear number two

8:02

you find the scape

8:04

goat the scapegoat that that other

8:07

target in gavin newsom's election in

8:09

california that was larry elder biden's

8:12

election that was trump right simple in

8:15

trump's election that was hillary

8:16

clinton it was the escape goat that

8:19

represents the fear so that's step one

8:22

step two step number three

8:24

you need conformity

8:26

so that those who support your emotion

8:29

your hate for math tests let's say

8:33

can all visually

8:35

see the representation

8:37

of that conformity so in obama's case

8:42

that

8:43

came down to posters or flags of hope

8:47

and change

8:48

in donald trump's election that came

8:51

down to

8:52

branding around maga or the american

8:54

flag make america great again and bring

8:56

that patriotism back those were the

8:59

symbols

9:00

of conformity

9:02

for gavin newsom in california the

9:04

symbols of conformity were actually

9:07

masks

9:08

and vaccine cards

9:10

and supporting coveted restrictions

9:13

those were the symbols of conformity

9:15

gavin knew some trojan horst covid the

9:19

pandemic as a political weapon

9:22

thereby unifying his base

9:25

and this was exacerbated by the fact

9:27

that people who would show up to gavin

9:29

newsom rallies who were counter

9:32

protesters

9:33

did not protest gavin newsom's failures

9:36

on housing homelessness schools water

9:38

fire crime

9:39

they protested vaccines

9:41

and masks

9:43

which literally

9:45

reiterated

9:47

that emotion and the fear

9:50

and so they became the gavin newsom

9:53

supporters became fearful of

9:56

the anti-vaxx crowd

9:58

and larry elder in california became the

10:01

face

10:02

of the anti-covered restriction crowd

10:06

and so now you got to get to the next

10:08

step so number one

10:09

fear number two the representation of

10:11

that fear number three conformity

10:14

but now number four you have to be a man

10:18

or woman

10:19

of the people

10:20

see you have to represent

10:23

that you

10:24

are the people

10:26

you represent their

10:29

opportunity for change you are pissed

10:32

off that somebody else is either trying

10:35

to keep you in despair or put you in

10:37

despair

10:39

aoc is pissed

10:41

that we don't tax the rich more aoc

10:44

represents your opportunity or chance at

10:49

being freed of your fear she has become

10:52

a woman of the people in her district

10:55

and so you stand for

10:58

and in stark contrast to that emotion

11:01

you are fighting that fear you are

11:02

fighting

11:04

then

11:05

once you have accomplished these four

11:07

things

11:08

you have created fear

11:10

you have a scapegoat you have conformity

11:14

you are the man or woman of your

11:17

movement

11:18

you don't run on happiness

11:21

you run on

11:22

anger

11:23

and when you run on anger

11:26

you can do number five

11:28

and that's by loyalty

11:30

you can buy loyalty in the form of

11:33

endorsements and donations from the

11:35

companies that support or

11:38

align with your fear

11:41

for example gavin newsom in the

11:43

california election received over 28

11:45

million dollars in donations or behested

11:47

donations from facebook over three

11:49

million dollars from netflix netflix was

11:52

by the way given special exemptions from

11:54

covid

11:55

so that they could operate their

11:57

business and continue filming and yet

12:00

then donated millions of dollars to

12:02

kevin newsom google donated multi

12:05

millions of dollars to gavin newsom as

12:07

well and then all of a sudden got no bid

12:09

statewide contracts with no competition

12:11

for those contracts

12:13

once you have

12:15

fear

12:16

a scapegoat conformity and then you are

12:19

the branded man or woman of the people

12:23

you can then use that anger against the

12:25

other side to buy loyalty to buy

12:28

endorsements to get donations

12:30

and amplify your message

12:33

you amplify your message

12:35

with short buzzword phrases

12:38

things like

12:39

taking a playbook right out of what

12:41

gavin newsom used

12:43

vaccines work

12:44

california comeback women's rights

12:47

women are smarter in politics and women

12:49

rule

12:50

minimum wage or here's some other old

12:52

ones hope

12:54

mega

12:55

change

12:57

these all represent outrage of the other

13:00

side consider that

13:02

outrage of the other side

13:04

if 75 of people in california believe

13:06

that vaccines work then you are outraged

13:08

at somebody who says they don't work

13:10

if 75 of people in california support

13:12

women's rights

13:14

then

13:14

you are outraged at the thought of

13:16

somebody taking those rights away if 75

13:18

of people support the minimum wage then

13:20

you are outraged at people who want to

13:21

take that away

13:23

you are outraged

13:25

when you have hope

13:27

for change

13:28

and somebody wants to keep things the

13:30

same

13:31

you are outraged when you want to make

13:33

america great again and somebody else

13:35

wants to keep america the way it is

13:38

and so folks

13:41

winning an election

13:43

is a matter of creating emotion

13:45

creating the emotion of victory the

13:47

emotion of being part of something

13:49

greater than yourself

13:51

being and becoming part of a movement

13:54

that's what wakes people up that's what

13:56

gets people to vote because voting is a

13:58

matter of life and death to your

14:00

movement

14:02

kevin newsom used kovid as his trojan

14:04

horse to manifest the face of evil larry

14:07

elder represented that face this is why

14:09

63.5 percent of californians voted no to

14:12

removing gavin newsom

14:14

a very similar percentage of those folks

14:17

voted against donald trump in 2020. this

14:19

is why when joe biden flew on air force

14:22

one to california to campaign for gavin

14:24

newsom joe biden said

14:28

that the person running against gavin

14:30

newsom he didn't even use his name job i

14:33

did not use his name he said the person

14:35

leading to replace gavin newsom

14:38

is a trump clone

14:41

folks

14:42

the majority of people in california do

14:45

not support donald trump

14:48

so what an easy scapegoat to use

14:52

you know what the statistics are because

14:54

all you have to do is look at the 2020

14:55

election or the 2016 election look at

14:58

how california votes you know what the

15:00

people want

15:01

and so you stand for that and create the

15:04

fear of that other person the other side

15:07

winning

15:09

now

15:10

why then did my campaign fail

15:14

well folks my campaign failed because i

15:17

did what i just told you not to do

15:20

i ran a campaign with a plan in fact you

15:23

can still at least at this point it'll

15:24

change soon but you can still go to

15:26

meetkevin.com and you could see what a

15:28

plan looks like in fact you can see

15:31

here's why my opponent has failed with

15:33

statistics and research and citations

15:37

and then you can see a 20-point plan for

15:39

how to solve issues in california from

15:41

homelessness housing crime traffic fires

15:42

water and more

15:44

with bold solutions

15:46

out of all of the candidates i was the

15:48

only candidate who had a 20-point plan

15:50

broken down on their website in fact i

15:51

was the only plan who had any or the

15:53

only candidate rather who had any plan

15:55

any actual plan broken down my opponents

15:58

all had the same thing

15:59

an overview of their stances

16:03

but what they did was correct what i did

16:06

was wrong see even though those who

16:08

actually read my plan of those who did

16:11

95 of people supported my plan

16:15

all of it was unnecessary

16:17

because see larry elder had no specific

16:19

advertised plan

16:20

but he didn't need them he created the

16:23

fear of gavin newsom gavin newsom was

16:26

the scapegoat the representation of evil

16:28

for larry elder's campaign people were

16:30

tired of overbearing an oppressive and

16:31

failing government in california

16:33

so a vote for larry elder was a vote

16:36

against oppressive government

16:39

larry elder actually did not need

16:40

specific advertised plans

16:42

why because his base assumed he was the

16:46

man with the plan

16:48

because they feared gavin newsom's

16:50

oppressiveness their fear made them

16:53

assume that their leader the leader of

16:56

their movement knew the answer and had a

16:58

plan so larry elder did not need a plan

17:01

because the people who support him as

17:03

part of the movement would believe he

17:05

has a plan anyway and if he actually had

17:07

a plan his plan would be subject

17:09

to math and being taken apart and being

17:12

criticized

17:14

that's what i failed at i did not create

17:16

fear ultimately

17:19

you have to ask yourself

17:20

how much do you individually today wake

17:24

up every single day and care about

17:27

homelessness

17:28

well you might be annoyed when you go

17:30

walk around la or whatever

17:32

but how much are you waking up every day

17:34

going man

17:35

this homeless problem's a big deal does

17:38

that actually motivate you to vote

17:40

somebody's saying you're going to solve

17:41

homelessness how much do you personally

17:42

care about affordable housing you're

17:43

probably in a a home right now

17:46

so i mean sure you might want a better

17:48

house or a bigger house but how much

17:50

every single day is affordable housing

17:52

weighing on you how much are fires

17:54

actually weighing on you every day does

17:56

the water faucet not work if it didn't

17:58

work anymore yeah then you'd be freaking

18:00

out

18:01

but fires don't affect all of us all the

18:04

time they don't our water issues don't

18:06

affect all of us all the time our

18:07

homeless issues don't affect all of us

18:09

all the time our school issues look our

18:11

schools suck

18:13

but that is not an issue that affects us

18:14

every single day maybe affects our

18:16

children but again it doesn't affect us

18:18

directly certainly not as much as if you

18:21

believe in covet restrictions somebody

18:22

taking that away and now potentially

18:24

risking your life

18:26

that is much more tangible

18:28

at least the perception of that is

18:31

see ultimately

18:33

i ran a campaign on policy and fact

18:36

and therefore

18:37

i lost

18:39

now i did do well at one thing and that

18:42

was

18:43

how much i spent per votes

18:45

see larry elder spent about five dollars

18:48

per vote that he received gavin newsom

18:50

spent around four dollars per vote that

18:53

he received so you can see gavin newsom

18:55

had an edge because he had really

18:57

hardcore fear

18:59

that ended up driving strong votes but

19:01

he still spent four dollars per vote

19:03

larry elder spent around five dollars

19:05

per vote

19:06

i came right after larry elder i spent

19:09

just one dollar and 17 cents per vote

19:14

that's not bad

19:15

that means of the people i reached

19:19

our reach worked really well

19:21

people supported our plans so much that

19:24

we did not have to spend a lot of money

19:25

per vote

19:28

but

19:28

we did not have the amplification of

19:31

fear which is a little bit harder to

19:33

spread because you've got to spend a lot
