i f'd up my campaign for governor of California...
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me kevin here so many of
you know that i am
running for governor of california and
yes this
is absolutely still true but there are
a lot of things i owe you clarity on
because the last
week has been very very insightful and
i feel like i have kind of started
feeling a little bit of a transformation
where i've
turned into this attack mode this like
dog that was this happy puppy with the
vision and
has kind of gotten turned into a little
bit more of an attack
dog that is caught up in the fight of
getting frustrated by
what's around us more than i really have
before see
i wasn't inspired to run for governor to
fight i was
inspired not to be a bully or to
complain about others
it was to propel my vision
for the future of california which i'm
so deeply passionate about
and i want to put all of my energy and
attention that i have
spare and available into this vision
because it is so good and powerful
i'm so saddened seeing people leave
california
businesses fail because of overbearing
government
problems we have in california aren't
unique there are problems like this all
throughout the country
but california can be a model a model
for the future
a model for the rest of the united
states
and so i ask even if you're not in
california
here's some of these things out and let
me know in the comments down below
am i mad for thinking that these ideas
have
tremendous potential that the future
california model one
that doesn't just try to solve one
aspect of our societal problems but
solves all of them by acting together at
once which
you can really only do as governor and
people ask me
kevin why don't you run for mayor first
why don't you run for county supervisor
first folks
county supervisors and mayors are very
hardworking people
but the reason we can't get things done
in our country is because we need
very strong leadership that can tackle
multiple issues at the same time
and i think this model this vision can
solve that
take a listen to this and then let me
know what you think about this and
if you say to the end i have a special
surprise for everybody
uh this weekend so i think it'll be
really cool so stay tuned
it's super cool so that'll be uh towards
the end and so i think what's really
important
is that i provide some clarity on my
future california model
and i show some more insights into why
this future california model is so
important
and how we should be focused on this
vision for the future we already know
it's broken
things have been broken for the last 17
years while
somebody has been in power in san
francisco and as lieutenant governor and
recently as governor and
now wants more time in office folks no
no no
we need a new model and we need to be a
model for the united states consider
this
here's my future california model and
the various different pieces of it is
just sort of a brief overview or
a summary of these first and foremost
future schools
where students graduate debt-free and
for free
they have the option of going to a
college if they didn't end up liking the
future school we have
state colleges the cal system and the uc
system
but what's going to happen in future
schools well not only are we going to
partner with small medium and large size
businesses to teach our teachers
so that we can pay our teachers more
because they teach our students
what businesses actually want think
about that practically
hey tesla you need mechanical engineers
teach our teachers
how to teach our students how to be
mechanical engineers
let us as teachers or our state's
teachers
do that job for you so that we can
prepare people for a career
mechanical engineering really anywhere
at any motor company or any mechanical
company a robotics company
for that nature or purpose or maybe
those skills will translate to something
else but
we're also at the same time going to
create a baseline
financial education so that way by 18
people are graduating for free without
debt
with a financial education with the
opportunity to go to college if they
want to go to one of our colleges or uc
or cal systems are great
but they also have the option of
starting a career right away at 18
not at 23 we create a much more
productive economy much
sooner then i have a future
transportation idea and see the future
transportation
ideas is really based in a lot has to do
with future
a future bids process see today when
a governor reviews who to assign
contracts to they really have the power
to
assign a lot of contracts to their
friends or people they know
or their colleagues there are a lot of
back room
handshake deals that kind of take the
free market out of the bid process
i kind of envision a future bids process
that's very much like
a cryptocurrency smart contract where if
the public
were able to view the bid process they
would weigh out our contracts and say
well
we can get very good quality or
excellent quality
for a low price with one company why
would we pay
10 to 12 times as much at another
company just because they're
someone's friend that's not how the
private market is supposed to work
that's how we waste taxation in fact my
goal in california is to remove taxation
on the first 250 000
of income that people make so that way
every worker in california
every investor in california gets a pay
raise and we do that
by including the private market more not
less
we include the free market more to
reduce our costs and expenditures
not less now obviously there are many
things that the government
needs to stay in control of for example
i envision a future
dmv where we have maybe things
outsourced that we don't need to do like
why are we getting vision tests
at the dmv folks people go to an eye
doctor
your eye doctor can certify you for x
number of years
why are we doing license plates and
registration renewals
with stickers and old school methods
license plates could be quite frankly
replaced by qr codes only the government
can read
so nobody knows what your license number
is
and instead or maybe there's like a
public identifier and a
more private government-only identifier
built in it to where
really what we're doing is we're not
making you put a stupid sticker on your
car
every year that can get stolen or
we're not making you go through this a
process where you actually have to
go to some website or to mail in a
renewal just do it all through
a very simple app scan your private qr
code
pay boom it's renewed it's done the same
thing could be with driver
it could be done with driver licenses
there's so many future ideas and i
haven't thought through everything don't
get me wrong i think there are
good purposes for license plates
especially hey you know if
if there's an accident it's nice to be
able to quickly jot down somebody's
license plate like oh
you know white ford or camry or whatever
there are many things to think of you
know
so many things to still think of and
perfect but the point is
there are ways to improve there are ways
to have
virtual id's we're not going to
privatize virtual ids obviously
but there are ways to do that to where
rather than you having to go to court to
fight for example a traffic ticket
you could do it through an app now i'm
not professing that all of my ideas
are perfect the way they are right now i
know they're not
but i can tell you nobody's going to
work harder at
perfecting all of these ideas every
single day our ideas
get better and better and stronger and
more sound and more resilient
honestly a lot is thanks to the
interviews
that we're doing with professionals in
the different fields both on camera and
off camera
but i also attribute much of it to the
community who
is sending us emails or leaving us
comments
or sharing stories with us i we have
such an incredible outpouring of support
and so many of you are donating which is
so important for us to be able to fight
the existing establishment
and make these changes this is why we
need your help
at meetkevin.com donate this is not an
opportunity here for you know oh yay
look at me running for governor no this
is
this is about implementing a new vision
for society this is bigger than even
california
we start with california think about
this we need
future transportation to solve our
transportation nightmares
this means more efficient roads using
the best
systems that exist in the world for
example variable speed limits
where when there's less traffic maybe we
can go faster and when there's more
traffic
we can slow down traffic a little bit so
that way
we don't have backups at bottlenecks and
we allow
traffic to more smoothly progress
through the highway for example
if it's rush hour i would much rather be
driving at 40 miles an hour
and everybody's casually driving at 40
miles an hour then be going
stop and go at 10 miles an hour
these are things again they still
require the
perfect engineering but the ideas of a
future process are there
and these ideas can be perpetuated by
not just
sound engineering and street and traffic
control research but also
by introducing again the private market
we need optional toll roads
that are optional so we alleviate stress
on our existing roads
and potentially those optional toll
roads come in the shape and form
of tunnels we have plenty of
directional space underneath us
and we can do this in very very
earthquake safe
and sound ways to prevent liquefaction
risks or earthquake risks and
off-ramps or on-ramps to these tunnels
we can make tunnels extremely safe
extremely efficient
not just for electric vehicles but for
all vehicles and all
buses so now all of a sudden we make
public transportation faster
what good is it when buses are on the
highway and yay we have public
transportation but they're stuck in the
same rush hour
we need big ideas to solve california
think about future facilities as well
for centralizing homeless support
this is my idea of deploying the
national guard
via emergency powers on day one of being
in office we
not only help make homelessness safe
for the first 30 days but after the
first 30 days we go into
long-term transitional support where in
long-term
temporary shelters temporary housing and
temporary facilities
that we build in a centralized manner we
can provide mental health support
detox support rehabilitation support
community support
social support schooling support food
showers
housing shelter all in one
space we need everything we can't
just fix one thing it's not about
here build ten thousand homes and throw
homeless people in them no
these are people they need dignity and
compassion it's a process
you don't go from homeless to back to
work tomorrow
the same as you don't take a broken
state
and turn it into something better in a
day but with vision
and leadership we can do a lot very fast
much faster than anything anyone's ever
seen before and that's what motivates me
that's what makes me so excited about
this campaign
and this is why i'm i'm coming clean
about how i feel like i've gotten
diverted from
the excitement of my vision i'm getting
back to my vision
and i'm going to tell you an
announcement in just a moment but folks
think future courts streamlining courts
with small claims processes that work up
to a hundred thousand dollars
licenses that are sub bar licenses or
like are a step on your way to a bar
license
but they're not a full bar license but
they still make you an attorney to help
advise people
for small claims matters attorneys don't
go to small claims
but they can advise folks most attorneys
don't though
they'd rather work in the big things so
fine bar licensed attorneys
the path is now clear for you to work on
the big deals everyone else
the newer people graduating at 18 from
our future schools
maybe they can help the folks with small
claims business
same thing goes for housing we need to
empower the people that we license our
architects our engineers our contractors
our building vendors our hvac folks our
electricians
to approve and sign off on their own
projects without the government getting
in the way
what is the point of them carrying
liability insurance
professional errors and emissions
insurance
bonding licensure workers comp
what's the point of them having all of
these liability
insurances they don't have power
to make our building and safety
processes move faster
the government's in the way of
everything in our state
it doesn't need to be of course the
government has a very important role of
the power of an audit the power of a
check-in or drop-in but it should be
collaborative
not adversarial the way it is it should
be meant
to inspire and promote not to take away
or to stop or delay
this is why our state is broken but it
can be fixed there's salvation
and with this salvation comes lower
taxation
more housing we don't need rent control
and affordable housing if we have
more housing because we give folks
optionality
and when we give optional when we get
optionality to live in new developments
or new communities or new cities and
towns that we can build
maybe even by legalizing casinos and
having casinos in those towns or
throughout our state so people are
vacationing outside our state instead
they're vacationing
here more and we attract more money and
more people
spending within our border and we become
a very
very competitive state and guess what
happens all of a sudden there's enough
housing for everyone
there are enough jobs for everyone
there's enough schooling for everyone
they're no homeless on the streets and
we do it all with lower taxes
now some people say kevin this this is
too good to be true no
we just have never had a coordinated
revamp of california
and that's why i'm the first youtuber to
run not only for governor as a youtuber
but i say youtuber because i'm gonna be
the most transparent
governor that has ever existed
everything that i do
every single day will be documented
every contract that gets approved
y'all gonna see it they're not going to
crony
capitalist friends they're going to the
best price
and the best quality and that's going to
help us lower taxes
no more wasting 125 million dollars per
mile on a high speed rail
when we know private companies can build
us tunnels for 10
million dollars a mile folks that's a
savings of 12x
and when we fix these things guess what
we can also fix
immigration people want to come here
but the legal immigration process is
very very hard
very lengthy and the people who make it
through either wait
years upon years or they'd lottery
in literally there are visa lotteries
some people make it many people don't
year after year after year
our illegal immigration problem is a
symptom
of our failed legal immigration system
in a prosperous economy nobody is taking
anyone else's jobs
in a prosperous economy we have
streamlined and fast
legal immigration so people with skills
can come here and work and pay
their their sales taxes and property
taxes and
contribute to housing in our local
economy and if they are
blessed to make more than 250 000 a year
then they can pay state income taxes and
we become a very competitive state so
folks
if you like this vision embark with me
on the future mission of california the
california future model
now here's the announcement tomorrow
at 4 p.m pacific time
i will be in venice beach that is
saturday
may 22nd and we will hold a small micro
gathering
we're gonna do a big rally this is
grassroots
we don't have millions of dollars to
spend we can do things as a community
for less and we can do it better
folks if you're interested come on by
may 22nd 4 p.m
venice beach you'll find me somewhere
i'll be there
i'll have a megaphone you won't miss me
i'll be loud
i'm loud the exception of now because
quite frankly i'm i'm disappointed in
myself
uh and and i want to hold myself
accountable for this change
so we're going to focus on the future
california's future and be a model for
the rest of the united states
