0:00

hey everyone meet kevin afraid here okay

0:01

i'm pretty stressed right now i just got

0:03

off the phone with

0:04

my legal team of attorneys and boy oh

0:06

boy we've got some catching up to do and

0:08

there's a lot going on because i'm

0:10

flying to florida to have an interview

0:11

with patrick betdavid from valuetainment

0:13

tomorrow at 9am eastern time i've got

0:16

three rallies this weekend five rallies

0:18

thereafter more rallies after that

0:20

you can go to meet kevin.com to see

0:21

where the rallies are you can sign up

0:22

for free it's

0:23

i look forward to seeing you there but

0:24

but anyway like oh my gosh there's so

0:26

much ahead and now this

0:27

okay and now this lawsuit all right

0:30

so let me catch you up so yesterday i

0:33

posted a video where i broke down a

0:35

lawsuit that gavin newsom governor gavin

0:37

newsom filed in california

0:38

he's suing his own administration

0:40

because he claims his

0:42

own law which he signed into law is

0:45

unfair

0:45

unreasonable violates his free speech

0:47

and doesn't afford him equal protection

0:49

under the constitution

0:50

those are his words he's basically

0:52

calling well he is

0:54

he's calling his own law a law he signed

0:56

unconstitutional

0:58

and he is suing because he missed a

1:00

deadline

1:01

that he set related to his campaign he

1:03

missed his

1:04

own deadline which is why he's suing his

1:07

own administration

1:08

and in yesterday's video i also

1:10

explained that in california

1:11

recall candidates for governor can only

1:13

raise 32

1:14

400 per donor now that sounds like a lot

1:17

but consider this

1:18

it doesn't take many elon musk style

1:20

donors to throw 50 million dollars into

1:22

a campaign

1:23

and all of a sudden you can run a whole

1:24

campaign with one donor

1:26

literally you could run a whole campaign

1:27

with one donor my average donation

1:29

is fifty dollars now the governor

1:33

he doesn't have this thirty two thousand

1:35

four hundred dollar limit

1:36

i do any recall candidate in this

1:38

election for governor has a 32

1:40

400 per donor limit the governor though

1:43

can raise

1:44

unlimited amounts of money and i show

1:46

the facts for this

1:47

you can even google it it's on the

1:49

elections commission website for

1:50

california

1:51

the governor has no limit so in other

1:53

words we've got this situation here

1:55

where governor gavin newsom is suing to

1:58

be equal to all the other

2:00

candidates where it favors him basically

2:02

giving him

2:03

special treatment because he missed his

2:05

own deadline in a law he signed to the

2:07

law that he's now calling

2:08

unconstitutional

2:09

but he wants to remain unequal

2:12

in that he can raise unlimited amounts

2:14

of money but we can only raise thirty

2:16

two thousand four hundred dollars

2:18

so putting that a little bit differently

2:19

the governor's administration is

2:21

basically kicking and screaming to break

2:23

their own law

2:24

when it's convenient for them and

2:26

they're trying to screw everyone else

2:28

this is wrong like it's just it's just

2:30

wrong and it kind of

2:32

it kind of exemplifies what's been wrong

2:34

in california too the traffic the

2:36

homelessness the housing affordability

2:38

issues people are leaving our state

2:40

and it's a beautiful state the policies

2:43

are just broken

2:45

so yesterday i had about eight phone

2:47

calls with my legal team and another

2:48

three this morning and we're scrambling

2:50

to fight for what's right

2:52

the problem is time is really of the

2:54

essence here to make sure we can fight a

2:56

fair fight in california

2:58

because the election's coming up anytime

2:59

within the next two to three months

3:01

oh yeah and guess who gets to decide

3:03

what day the election is

3:04

the governor's administration it's so

3:07

broken but anyway

3:08

if the governor can sue because he

3:11

missed his own deadline and demand

3:13

special treatment for himself

3:15

then we believe we can file a lawsuit to

3:18

demand

3:18

equal treatment not special treatment

3:21

just equal treatment

3:23

for equality in campaign donations

3:26

the problem is the lawsuit's probably

3:28

going to cost

3:30

a hundred thousand dollars over the next

3:33

month and this is exactly how the system

3:36

can sometimes be set up to screw you

3:38

you need a lot of money to run a

3:40

campaign a lot

3:41

i mean we spent like 25 000 doing

3:44

text messages we want to do radio ads

3:47

we're like what it's three to four

3:49

hundred thousand dollars for an la

3:51

county radio campaign what are you

3:53

talking about

3:54

we don't have that much money so i'm

3:56

just going to share some of the details

3:58

of our plan here in terms of what's next

4:01

but what i am doing because there's no

4:03

way it's going to happen otherwise is

4:05

i am running a fundraiser you can go to

4:07

meetkevin.com

4:08

lawsuit or click the link down below to

4:11

support

4:12

any contribution helps fight the good

4:13

fight the average contribution is 50

4:16

and we're not a team you know i don't

4:17

have a team of trial litigation

4:19

attorneys

4:20

i've got a team of attorneys who are

4:22

justice fighters they're just trying to

4:23

fight for what's right

4:25

so here's the scoop right now we're

4:27

working on our strategy

4:29

we're not a hundred percent sure on the

4:31

exact way to approach this yet

4:33

one of the options is an all hands on

4:35

deck approach where we go all in and we

4:37

get this complaint filed the lawsuit

4:39

filed by

4:39

friday we do believe the sooner is

4:41

better because the july 4th holiday is

4:43

coming up

4:43

and that's going to potentially create

4:45

some issues but we need to also do the

4:47

legal research like

4:49

the the deep deep dive legal research

4:51

the initial legal research is already

4:52

like oh yeah

4:53

no this is wrong but we got to do like

4:55

the the ten

4:56

person army deep dive brief research

4:59

where it's like here's our 30 page

5:01

opinion on this

5:02

we got to do that research first in

5:04

order to file

5:05

like a solid lawsuit and that's going to

5:07

take i mean imagine you have a team of

5:09

10 attorneys

5:10

each working eight-hour days or 12-hour

5:12

days over the next three or four days

5:15

a lot of money's doing this but anyway

5:19

if ultimately our goal is to file this

5:22

lawsuit and and to

5:24

win now if for whatever reason we do our

5:25

legal research and we decide okay we

5:27

need to restrategize

5:28

in the meantime we're going to use every

5:30

bit of campaign donation money we have

5:32

to hold more rallies to travel to more

5:34

locations to do more interviews

5:36

to get the word out about our five-part

5:38

one-year plan

5:40

and our full five-year 20-part plan

5:43

and that includes ending homeless on our

5:45

streets

5:46

living on our streets or dying on our

5:48

streets within 60 days

5:50

more affordable housing better schools

5:53

we're one of the most beautiful states

5:54

in the country and yet

5:56

we tax the most and have schools ranked

5:59

40th in the nation

6:01

what's up with that like you've got to

6:03

be kidding me

6:04

so much of it feels like the problems in

6:06

our country are the result

6:08

of the behavior of or the policies of

6:11

governor gavin newsom and his policies

6:14

have ultimately been

6:15

misleading us by playing loopholes much

6:17

like the reason why

6:19

we want to sue him he's misled us on the

6:22

surplus

6:22

we're not we don't have a 76 billion

6:24

dollar surplus maybe we had a 38 billion

6:27

one but he ended up spending so much

6:29

that now we're going 12 billion dollars

6:31

into more debt

6:32

he misled us on fire prevention npr just

6:35

did a whole expose

6:37

on how gavin newsom the governor misled

6:39

us

6:40

he misled us on homelessness he misled

6:42

us on rental relief

6:44

folks it's really tough right now it's a

6:47

tough time in california

6:49

it's time to fight for what's right so

6:51

in terms of next steps i've instructed

6:52

my legal team to prepare documents to

6:54

get this process started

6:56

we're going to be very very smart and

6:57

methodical about this because i want

6:59

this to be the most efficiently run

7:00

campaign that exists

7:02

i want strong lean powerful and

7:04

impactful

7:05

we have to fix california and i'm hoping

7:07

you'll support me

7:08

in this cause go to meet kevin dot com

7:11

lawsuit to support

7:12

we believe the litigation is gonna cost

7:14

us a hundred thousand dollars and the

7:15

next step

7:16

is getting a temporary restraining order

7:17

against governor gavin newsom

7:19

and an emergency hearing so we can get

7:21

the equality

7:22

the same kind of equality that every

7:26

candidate

7:27

should have for office and we're not

7:29

even asking for special treatment

7:31

like governor gavin newsom is folks

7:33

fingers crossed

7:34

but this is what's going on thank you so

7:36

much for watching this

7:37

links down below and we'll see in the

7:39

next video come join me at those rallies

7:41
