I’m Suing the Governor of California.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone meet kevin afraid here okay
i'm pretty stressed right now i just got
off the phone with
my legal team of attorneys and boy oh
boy we've got some catching up to do and
there's a lot going on because i'm
flying to florida to have an interview
with patrick betdavid from valuetainment
tomorrow at 9am eastern time i've got
three rallies this weekend five rallies
thereafter more rallies after that
you can go to meet kevin.com to see
where the rallies are you can sign up
for free it's
i look forward to seeing you there but
but anyway like oh my gosh there's so
much ahead and now this
okay and now this lawsuit all right
so let me catch you up so yesterday i
posted a video where i broke down a
lawsuit that gavin newsom governor gavin
newsom filed in california
he's suing his own administration
because he claims his
own law which he signed into law is
unfair
unreasonable violates his free speech
and doesn't afford him equal protection
under the constitution
those are his words he's basically
calling well he is
he's calling his own law a law he signed
unconstitutional
and he is suing because he missed a
deadline
that he set related to his campaign he
missed his
own deadline which is why he's suing his
own administration
and in yesterday's video i also
explained that in california
recall candidates for governor can only
raise 32
400 per donor now that sounds like a lot
but consider this
it doesn't take many elon musk style
donors to throw 50 million dollars into
a campaign
and all of a sudden you can run a whole
campaign with one donor
literally you could run a whole campaign
with one donor my average donation
is fifty dollars now the governor
he doesn't have this thirty two thousand
four hundred dollar limit
i do any recall candidate in this
election for governor has a 32
400 per donor limit the governor though
can raise
unlimited amounts of money and i show
the facts for this
you can even google it it's on the
elections commission website for
california
the governor has no limit so in other
words we've got this situation here
where governor gavin newsom is suing to
be equal to all the other
candidates where it favors him basically
giving him
special treatment because he missed his
own deadline in a law he signed to the
law that he's now calling
unconstitutional
but he wants to remain unequal
in that he can raise unlimited amounts
of money but we can only raise thirty
two thousand four hundred dollars
so putting that a little bit differently
the governor's administration is
basically kicking and screaming to break
their own law
when it's convenient for them and
they're trying to screw everyone else
this is wrong like it's just it's just
wrong and it kind of
it kind of exemplifies what's been wrong
in california too the traffic the
homelessness the housing affordability
issues people are leaving our state
and it's a beautiful state the policies
are just broken
so yesterday i had about eight phone
calls with my legal team and another
three this morning and we're scrambling
to fight for what's right
the problem is time is really of the
essence here to make sure we can fight a
fair fight in california
because the election's coming up anytime
within the next two to three months
oh yeah and guess who gets to decide
what day the election is
the governor's administration it's so
broken but anyway
if the governor can sue because he
missed his own deadline and demand
special treatment for himself
then we believe we can file a lawsuit to
demand
equal treatment not special treatment
just equal treatment
for equality in campaign donations
the problem is the lawsuit's probably
going to cost
a hundred thousand dollars over the next
month and this is exactly how the system
can sometimes be set up to screw you
you need a lot of money to run a
campaign a lot
i mean we spent like 25 000 doing
text messages we want to do radio ads
we're like what it's three to four
hundred thousand dollars for an la
county radio campaign what are you
talking about
we don't have that much money so i'm
just going to share some of the details
of our plan here in terms of what's next
but what i am doing because there's no
way it's going to happen otherwise is
i am running a fundraiser you can go to
meetkevin.com
lawsuit or click the link down below to
support
any contribution helps fight the good
fight the average contribution is 50
and we're not a team you know i don't
have a team of trial litigation
attorneys
i've got a team of attorneys who are
justice fighters they're just trying to
fight for what's right
so here's the scoop right now we're
working on our strategy
we're not a hundred percent sure on the
exact way to approach this yet
one of the options is an all hands on
deck approach where we go all in and we
get this complaint filed the lawsuit
filed by
friday we do believe the sooner is
better because the july 4th holiday is
coming up
and that's going to potentially create
some issues but we need to also do the
legal research like
the the deep deep dive legal research
the initial legal research is already
like oh yeah
no this is wrong but we got to do like
the the ten
person army deep dive brief research
where it's like here's our 30 page
opinion on this
we got to do that research first in
order to file
like a solid lawsuit and that's going to
take i mean imagine you have a team of
10 attorneys
each working eight-hour days or 12-hour
days over the next three or four days
a lot of money's doing this but anyway
if ultimately our goal is to file this
lawsuit and and to
win now if for whatever reason we do our
legal research and we decide okay we
need to restrategize
in the meantime we're going to use every
bit of campaign donation money we have
to hold more rallies to travel to more
locations to do more interviews
to get the word out about our five-part
one-year plan
and our full five-year 20-part plan
and that includes ending homeless on our
streets
living on our streets or dying on our
streets within 60 days
more affordable housing better schools
we're one of the most beautiful states
in the country and yet
we tax the most and have schools ranked
40th in the nation
what's up with that like you've got to
be kidding me
so much of it feels like the problems in
our country are the result
of the behavior of or the policies of
governor gavin newsom and his policies
have ultimately been
misleading us by playing loopholes much
like the reason why
we want to sue him he's misled us on the
surplus
we're not we don't have a 76 billion
dollar surplus maybe we had a 38 billion
one but he ended up spending so much
that now we're going 12 billion dollars
into more debt
he misled us on fire prevention npr just
did a whole expose
on how gavin newsom the governor misled
us
he misled us on homelessness he misled
us on rental relief
folks it's really tough right now it's a
tough time in california
it's time to fight for what's right so
in terms of next steps i've instructed
my legal team to prepare documents to
get this process started
we're going to be very very smart and
methodical about this because i want
this to be the most efficiently run
campaign that exists
i want strong lean powerful and
impactful
we have to fix california and i'm hoping
you'll support me
in this cause go to meet kevin dot com
lawsuit to support
we believe the litigation is gonna cost
us a hundred thousand dollars and the
next step
is getting a temporary restraining order
against governor gavin newsom
and an emergency hearing so we can get
the equality
the same kind of equality that every
candidate
should have for office and we're not
even asking for special treatment
like governor gavin newsom is folks
fingers crossed
but this is what's going on thank you so
much for watching this
links down below and we'll see in the
next video come join me at those rallies
thanks so much
