amazing thank you very much he is a 29

year old Democrat challenging Governor

Newsom in the recall election meet Kevin

pathra he's a Southern California real

estate investor who is followed by

millions on YouTube other social media

platforms as well he's just completed

nine rallies in 10 days across the state

including that one and now the campaign

brings him here to our studio our first

in-studio guest in a long time Kevin

pathrath welcome nice to have you here

Alex thank you so much for having me I'm

so excited to be here I'm so excited for

common sense Solutions I know you

mentioned that I'm a Democrat that is

true but I bring Common Sense back to

California I'm tired of identity

politics I have to solve it I feel like

I should be waiting for a zoom delay but

I don't have to do that anymore so I

don't know all right so for a lot of

folks that know you in social media

you're a big star though there's a lot

of folks that are watching this that

probably have not heard of you before so

tell us a little bit about your back

story you came here 19 years old old

absolutely so I came to California met

my wife in Paris moved to California and

California gave me some incredible

opportunities unfortunately I feel like

I was the exception I went to a

community college then went to UCLA

graduated with a background in economics

and political science became a real

estate broker and educated folks on how

to invest in real estate unfortunately I

again feel like the exception we got to

make better education than norm and you

became this big deal on YouTube teaching

people about real estate teaching people

about finance and other things

cryptocurrency other things as well

currently and you are a Democrat running

against Governor Newsom most of the high

profile Democrats are not why do you

consider yourself a Democrat and why if

you consider yourself a Democrat are you

running against the Democratic standard

Bearer absolutely so first of all I'm

running against Gavin Newsom because I

believe that it's his leadership and his

policies that have broken the state it's

not the party it's not the people it's

not Republicans we have Californian

issues in the State traffic crime

homelessness lawlessness consider just

this Gavin Newsom said he was going to

prevent forest fires he overstated his

efforts by 690 percent NPR exposed him

on that we have 80 percent of cannabis

sales in the state five years after

cannabis is legalized 80 percent is done

illegally we are going 12 billion

dollars into more debt we don't have a

surplus in California we're going into

more debt sb7 is a great way to funnel

more money through Governor newsom's

office not making housing more efficient

that's what's broken we do have a

surplus in this state and that's why

they're giving all this money back right

that's my point is after he's giving

money away for giving traffic tickets

we're going 12 billion dollars more to

debt so we don't have the Surplus to

solve the real problems that we have

like our Water Crisis which we could

have solved with that Surplus we could

have used that money built an aqueduct

to Mississippi gotten fresh clean water

cheaper than we have it now and we could

have ended our Water Crisis so our farms

in the San Joaquin Valley where I just

was wouldn't be brown and drying out

anymore and part of the challenge though

is by legislature by Statute they do

have to give some of the money back when

you get a surplus that's big enough but

let's talk about homelessness which is

your number one issue the number one

issue for so many people on the states

your Governor tomorrow what's different

on homelessness day one I'm signing four

executive actions number one is ending

homelessness on our streets within 60

days we're not going to cure

homelessness in 60 days but nobody will

be living on our streets anymore because

they're not living on our streets

they're dying on our streets after 60

days no more homeless on our streets how

do we solve that with 80 emergency

facilities throughout the state of

California each housing about 2 000

homeless individuals now we can

centralize support mental health support

detox supports substance abuse support

we can finally provide food and Safety

and Security something Californians

don't have right now and that's why

people are leaving the state we've got

to stop Californians from leaving the

state I want to grow this economy but

how do you do that so say a homeless

person and they're trying to remove them

from the streets in Venice right now and

we talk to many of them today and they

said I don't want to go absolutely what

do you do in that scenario yeah so

here's the thing nobody trusts the

government right now because the

government has fragmented policy

responses we're going to take our first

30 days provide service to homeless

individuals where they are knowing that

Community leaders control homelessness

when we build our emergency facilities

with homeless leaders mayors of blocks

and presidents of streets then we can

convince 90 to 95 percent of our

homeless population We Believe to come

to emergency facilities these are not

lockdown facilities they're optional

they want to take a bagel and leave

that's fine but guess what after 60 days

of my governorship nobody Sleeps on the

floor or streets of California anymore

that ends in 60 days but you don't think

that their Community leaders working on

that problem now

there are but here's what's happening

you've got people in La handing out cell

phones to homeless folks you've got

people in San Francisco the city of San

Francisco is spending five thousand

dollars per tent per homeless person

that's 60 Grand a year we have

fragmented responses there's a reason

the mayor of LA and the sheriff of valet

tweet storm each other because they

can't even figure it out you need a real

leader and it's the same thing with our

schools we're ranked 40th it's the same

thing with our housing we need a leader

to solve our problems well let's talk

about schools and education and you want

to think about colleges in a different

way oh yeah well so I want to think

about really high school and college in

a different way I want to combine 70

overtime we'll start smaller but I want

Folks at 18 to be able to graduate debt

free with a financial education imagine

that a financial education knowing how

to build wealth and a career by 18. we

do that by combining vocational schools

colleges and high schools at least a

certain percentage of them throughout

California then what about the people

over 18 in poverty who can barely get by

on minimum wage we are going to offer

two thousand dollars per month for folks

to go to these future schools these

future schools will help us reduce

poverty and then effectively reduce

crime we're spending more money on

people in jails than if we just educated

and invested in our Californians we

wouldn't have as much crime or poverty

people are hopeless on our streets we

have to fix that so how if if you become

governor you're 29 years old you've

never served in the legislature before

you've never been a part of the

political system you'd have less than a

year to be the governor assuming uh that

that goes through how do you make all

this happen and how what do you say to

people that might be skeptical that

you've got the skills to pull this off

in terms of that very complicated

bureaucracy in Sacramento yeah so the

first thing that we have to realize is

yes there's only a one-year term ahead

that's wonderful all politicians should

have a one-year trial now the first

thing that we're going to do when we

solve homelessness or get homeless off

our streets within 60 days and we start

solving the crises that we have now

we're going to take that leverage and

show every politician who's up for

reelection in 2022 we can work together

we can actually solve real Californian

problems there not Democratic problems

they're not Republican problems they're

Californian problems what's my

background my background is 3 000 hours

on the road in law enforcement real

estate investor Financial educator think

about the problems that we have I have a

political science background as well the

problems we have are crime and

homelessness I dealt with I dealt with

this on the streets with law enforcement

and I deal with Building Wealth through

real estate I understand how to solve

our crises in the state oh and speaking

of real estate that's your background

housing we've got a housing crisis in

this state as well we see the price

skyrocketing which is really great for

rich people that are trying to sell

their homes but it's tough for other

people that want to get into the housing

market how do we fix housing in this

state yeah absolutely so the first thing

is we're building 80 000 homes a year

right now just to stay par we need to be

building 300 000 homes a year in the

state of California we've got plenty of

places that can be redeveloped abandoned

malls strip malls whatever my plan is to

build 500 a thousand homes per year

where we have 482 cities it's actually

not that much we're a big state but

we've got to get the government as much

as possible out of our lives so we can

streamline processes with 400 82

building and safety departments we need

one set of rules not 482 different rules

and we need to speed up building and

safety yeah through executive action day

one we need to have a slightly higher

standard that incorporates the benefits

of green energy and better

sustainability but having one standard

that's the same throughout the state

then we Empower our Architects and

Engineers whom we're licensing anyway

and we work together with the community

to solver problems and real quickly to

wrap up I mean having fun what's this

like for you as a 29 year old traveling

the state meeting people seeing the

reaction well look I I'm doing this

because I'm passionate about solving our

problems in California it's a lot of

work It's a Grind I love it though I

love it because I want to give back I

see in my opinion I've already succeeded

financially I'm not unlike other

politicians getting into government to

try to make money I could retire right

now what I want is to give back and to

serve well we all have now met Kevin

Kevin pathra thank you so much for

coming in and thank you for coming in

person too thank you so much anytime

when we come back the extreme heat seven

day forecast after this

thank you
