Everything is shifting. Everything is transforming. This is the turning point. First, we’re going to honor a lion who’s shown us how to fight. Charlie Kirk, you know him well. Charlie is the spark that lit this blaze. The founder of Turning Point usa, rallying thousands of young patriots, exposing the woke machine with unapologetic truth.

His stadiums packing rallies, his fearless stand against cultural decay. Charlie’s cry to take our identity in Christ back and take our country back is why we are here.

It was not a fight with just the weapons of this kinesthetic, you know, this kinetic war.

No, it was the weapons that come from our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. This is not a time to preach, but this is a time to awaken. We’re gonna fight like Charlie did. We’re gonna fight that’s exactly what we’re going to do. We have a song in honor of Charlie to kick us off and remind us of how we get to fight like Charlie. You heard that, right?

This is a song by a dear friend of mine. His name is Tom kaz. Tom was one of our performers in the take our border back movement that reached hundreds of millions across the nation. Not just nation. I mean internationally. That’s the truth. This song is powerful. The day that Charlie died, Tom will be joining us at the upcoming take your power back California Governor showdown on November 8th. Before we go anywhere tonight, we’re going to put honor where honor is due. Our good friend, our dear brother, Charlie Kirk. And a song by tom katz let’s play that song.

He was just a boy of 18 when he saw the call to lead Built a fire in the heartland Planted one determined seed he said, let’s give a voice to freedom let’s let the young one speak so we traveled coast to coast to make the strong stand with the weak so we raise the flag of reason we hold the line of truth in the face of fear and darkness his courage is the proof on the day that Charlotte died A million voices cried for the courage of a young man who refused to run and hide he lit torture reason in the storm of endless nights and though they took his life away they’ll never dim his light from the halls of every campus to the streets of every town he stood up for the values that some tried to tear down he believed in open voices he believed in an honest fight now the truth he sparked will let go on Carried in the morning lights so we carry for this banner we’ll keep his dream alive in the spirit of his mission his legacy will thrive on the day that Charlotte died A million voices cried for the courage of a young man who refused to run and hide he lit a charge of reason in the storm of endless nights and though they took his life away they’ll never dim his light we’ll remember Charlie’s courage as we raise his banner high for the day that Charlie died Became the day we learn to fly on the day that Charlie died A million voices cried for the courage of a young man who refused to run and hide he lit A torch of reason in the storm of endless nights and though they took his life away they’ll never dim his light we’ll carry on his mission we’ll speak the truth out loud in the land he loves so dearly we stand forever proud it will carry on his mission and speak the truth out loud if the land alone so dear we stand forever proud the day that Charlie died.

Tom Kaz, we get to fight like Charlie. And you’re seeing the impact of the life he lived across the entire world that my brothers and sisters is impacted. And that’s the impact that we get to make in this time. We get to make the most of every opportunity for the days are evil. So let’s make the most of every opportunity now. We’ve got a big night ahead of us. I’ve got texts coming in. We’ve got messages coming in. And everybody’s like, where are the governors? Where are those that are running for governor? We’re so excited, excited to see them.

We’re going to turn our eyes now on the state of California, and we’re going to ask ourselves a couple of questions. What is the true state of California in these unprecedented times? And to really answer that question, I think Tom McDonald put it best. If y’ all don’t know who Tom McDonald is, well, I gotta tell you, you’re gonna get a great idea of who this warrior is, and I’m gonna take a moment to share with you this amazing song. I think it’s. It’s shaken up quite a few of us because it’s resonated with each one of us.

We’re like, what? Are you kidding me? Is this really going on? Like, he just puts it in a way that we can’t put it. So I’m going to give it to you by Mr. Tom McDonald. Let’s share that screen and let’s play that video. The propaganda is on every channel. They think we stupid. Like, the truth is just too hard to handle. Put on your camera. It’s a culture war. And load the ammo. They want antifa ruling everything like in Seattle and they want anyone who’s fighting to be dead and canceled. They want rainbows in the classrooms and 15 different bathrooms and white guys that hate black dudes they want war, they don’t want peace they want fentanyl in our streets they want borders to be weak I swear the devil lives in California He a politician he passing bills that bring chaos and division yeah, the devil lives in California should be in prison he got horns but he tries to get keep them hidden.

I’m sure that our candidates have a lot to say about that video. And we know that the the devil runs on both side, both Republican and Democrat. That is the truth. And the real question is, who is ready to step into the fight and say, stand for the truth. Guys, you are in for such a treat. We’re going to get the party started. But before we do that, you need to know your system is failing. Our California system is failing. And I know you know. Gavin Newsom’s antics have bled our golden state dry. 180,000 souls. These are real human beings lost to homelessness.

Hell. Crime spiking 12% in LA. Kids preyed upon by human traffickers. Bills like AIDS, AB 495. Stealing parental rights like a thief in the night. Gerrymandering maps rig the elections. Crumbling roads mock our progress. Energy bills crush families. Farmers fighting to get water to their crops. And sanctuary state madness floods our borders with chaos. Enough is enough. We’re not begging for change. We the people are igniting the change. We the people are rising, uniting, roaring to take our California back. And tonight, three titans had planned to step into the arena. The first titan, Steve Hilton, media mogul and Fox News powerhouse wielding razor sharp strategy to dismantle the elite machine.

Next, David Callenberg, farmer mogul. Farmer mogul. Let’s put that straight. Farmer mogul fighting for our food security and rural heartland. No more woke land grabs. And then we’ve got Jim Athens, real estate visionary, turning the tide on housing horrors. Building a California where families thrive. These aren’t politicians. At least we don’t need politicians. We need warriors committed to slashing homelessness, crushing crime, shielding kids, axing bills like AB495, securing the borders. Thank you, Tom Holman. Ending energy extortion, ensuring abundant water for California’s future generations. And these warriors that you will tonight begin to choose and go. That’s the one that’s for me.

They are vying for your choice. They’re vying to represent you. We the people. And taking our California back. So let’s do it. Let’s dive deep with each of these candidates in their own segment asking the brutal question, their bold visions, no punches pulled. This is raw. It’s real. It will be electrifying. Tonight, the spark for total reclamation of our Golden State. Flood the chat right now. Share this Show Rally your freedom fighters. Tag everybody. Hashtag take your power back. Hashtag take our California back. We’re live across various platforms and united and unstoppable as 2nd Chronicles 7:14 has been leading the way in this initiative to take our California back.

I will remind you this is the voice of God where he thunders if my people. If my people will humble themselves, pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways. I will hear from heaven. Forgive their sins and heal their land. California, we’re ready for some healing. We’re taking our power back and we are awakening now. Right now. Let’s kick it off the take your power back California governor face off round six. Let’s go. So tonight’s first segment was scheduled with Steve Hilton. Yes, I said that correctly. Was scheduled with Steve Hilton. Some of you may be asking, well, I don’t understand.

You’ve already interviewed him on your show at an earlier Face Off. Well, the truth is his wi fi was horrible. The interview was lacking because of the technical breakdown. And we wanted to give Steve another opportunity to be heard on the take your power back show platform before the November 8th California governor showdown in San Marcos, California. Unfortunately, we got the call last night. Steve had a family emergency that required him to completely clear out his day. Today, in honor of Steve, because he will not be joining us tonight, we’re gonna do a short little video that says, hey, Steve, we’re thinking about you.

We know you’re in the race. And these guys that are here tonight, these warriors in the room, they were looking forward to meeting you. So let’s actually play that video. And what we’re going to do is we’re going to do just his campaign highlight video. I think that’s a great way to go. Just to remind us that Steve Hilton is also in the fight to take California back. It all started with freedom. My parents fled communism in Hungary. So I was born in England, a free country, but a country in rapid decline. My earliest political memory was Mrs.

Thatcher, the first British leader in a generation with the courage to fight back for freedom. Our family didn’t have money. My mom worked in a shoe store, my dad and consultants construction. But like so many working class people, they just wanted a better life. My parents were so proud when I made it to Oxford University. And then when I got a job with the Conservative Party working for Margaret Thatcher, she unleashed the spirit of enterprise in England. She inspired me. I started a business, even a couple of restaurants. That is a tough business. Later, I helped elect a prime Minister, worked in 10 Downing Street.

In 2012, we moved to America, to California. The ultimate expression of America, the home of freedom. Or it should be. I taught at Stanford University, started a company, wrote books, hosted a TV show. I lived the California dream. I raised my family here, made my life here, became an American. It was one of the proudest days of my life. But also a reminder of the madness, the masks, the lockdowns, the school closures. Look at these pictures. The chaos, the Crime, the collapse of the California dream. This is not just any other state. California means to America what America means to the world.

Let’s make California the land of opportunity again. Great jobs, great homes, great kids. Let’s make California an inspiration again. The very best of America. There’s only one way to do that. We’ve got to end the one party rule that got us into this mess. It’s time to end the years of Democrat failure. It’s time for a new future. That’s why I’m running for government, to make this beautiful state that we love so much truly golden again. Steve Hilton, you are in our prayers. You’re in our prayers, Steve. So, guys, I think we are ready to bring in our contenders, are we not? And before we bring them in, I want to remind you, tickets are sitting there waiting for you and they are running out.

We are so surprised by the response. Actually, we’re really not that surprised because we know we’re in the fight for the upcoming Take youe Power Back California Governor Showdown. This is November 8th at Awakened Church in San Marcos, California. Go to takeourcaliforniaback.com that’s takeourcalifornia.back.com. this isn’t just a show. It’s a call to arms. I want you to picture this for a second. All of your favorite conservative contenders united on one stage, committed to taking our California back. I want to give you guys a little picture. That way you, you get to see, see what we’re actually looking at here.

All right, guys, without further ado, it’s time because I see David Kollenberg in the background. I see him ready to stand in the gap. Let’s introduce our first candidate tonight for the governor of California, David Kahlenberg, farmer, mogul, fighting for our food security and rural heartland. No more Woke land grabs. David is stepping up to defend our rural soul. Before we bring David into the room, I want you guys to see him at work. You mean you really get to see him at work? Yeah. I am absolutely blown away that we have a farmer that is vying to run for governor of the great state of California.

Want you to meet him. He’s a warrior and he is ready to take on the fight. Let me see if I can find him because I’m looking. I’m looking and I know it was on Tick Tock. I got it here. I got it. I see him. It is David. David Kahlenberg. Here we go. Come on. Yesterday, I posted a video about our state water board curtailing our water on our farms up here in Northern California, some concerned citizens decided to question the accuracy of the water State water board’s measuring device. Come to find out it was off and they had no right to curtail our water.

So they issued a reinstatement because of the concerned citizens finding out that they were wrong on how much water was at the measuring device. So imagine that unelected officials measuring our water it not accurate. They’re curtailing us and then they’re reversing the curtailment. Like, oh, sorry. Such they technically, I mean it was, luckily it was only one day. I mean they pretty much could have just ruined everybody’s livelihood. It’s such. And it’s time something is done. David Kallenberg calls out the. It’s exactly what he does. David Kahlenberg, welcome to the Take youe Power Back show. An honor to have you here today.

Thank you. Now, I’m hoping that we we’ve got some good WI fi on your end because and I am just going to pray right now that everything eases its way out so that we can stay connected. We’ve got some rapid fire questions for you today. And you know what, I want you to go as deep as you need to go, but I want you to know that we will likely hit every area. But I want people to get to know who this David Kahlenberg is, who this farmer mogul is. And I got to say, you had a beef store, you got a lot of good stuff going for you.

It’s kind of exciting. I’ve been checking you out in the back end. But I want you to tell me, I mean, you are the farmer mogul fighting for our heartland, right? Absolutely. David, what was the distinct moment where you said, if it’s going to be it’s up to me. I am going to run for the governor of the Golden State of California. Yeah. So back in November, my family goes to, we go to Anaheim every year for Thanksgiving. And so back last November, we were going to go to Anaheim for Thanksgiving. And on my way there, I was, I wasn’t driving, so I was on my phone and I was actually watching Charlie Kirk live stream that he did every day.

And I think they were talking about California and some stuff. And so I ended up subscribing. Like out of all the things that I subscribed to, he’s the only one I’ve ever paid for. And so that day I subscribed to him and I watched his videos all the way to la. And when I got to la, I took my Kids to Hollywood. And I’d been there like 20 years prior to, and I was like, I want to take my kids to Hollywood. Check it out. You know, because back then it was like the thing to do.

You know, it was a cool place to be. You know, it’s kind of like going to Vegas, took my kids there and I just couldn’t believe how bad the place was. It was just mind blowing. And I’m like, I’m not bringing my kids here again. So I went back to my family’s residence and started watching videos and started looking up the state budget and looked at who was running for governor. And I was like, if these people can run for governor, I can run for governor. So that’s kind of where it came about, is about a one day thing, a one day trip down to there that really just was like, somebody’s got to step in.

I love it, I love it. So, so I love it that you saw a need and you’re like, you know what? I’m going to meet that need. I’m going to stand in the gap. I mean, that’s pretty amazing. I mean, tell us what equips you as a farmer mogul, Your experience? What can, what, what equ. You to take on the role of governor for the state of California with. Let’s just say you’re taking on a country. It’s kind of like taking on a country. What equips you for sure? Well, two things. Common sense and the ability to say no that none of these people have the ability to do.

I mean those two things right there sets me miles apart from what’s out there. And common sense and the ability to say no. So what is it about what you do every day? Tell us us a little bit more about what your life looks like and how you are equipped to say no and to have that common sense. Yes. I mean I, I own a, a thousand acre farm that I manage by myself. I do all the work. So I’m up every day at 6:00am and I’m out in the fields until 11:00 clock at night working every day.

I have to manage my farm’s budget. I have to pay all the bills I have, I have to buy fuel, I have to do everything. And so I know what it’s like to struggle. I know what it takes to manage budgets. I know what it takes to, you know, do all that stuff, you know, so I got a lot of experience. I’ve been doing it a long time and you know, sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad. I got it. I got it. Now food security is your fight. How do you stop foreign land grabs and ensure California feeds itself? Well, I think that the some, you know, the government’s working now to kind of try to stop some of that, especially with the new administration, you know, but obviously Gavin spot and paid for.

So until somebody gets in there and can stop that stuff, they’re going to keep doing it. You know, I think that I don’t know how true it is, but there’s a lot of like the Palisade situation and it seems like a lot of foreign people are coming there and trying to buy those lots to build low income housing to take advantage of that government money, you know, so it’s not on my watch, especially when it comes to farms. Well, what will you do to ensure that does not happen? I mean, I’ll fight every day of my life for that.

You know, I mean, it’s, it’s hard to say. I mean, I’m not, you know, a government official. I’m not a politician. I don’t know how they weasel their way in, but I’m going to find out how and I’m going to put an end to it. So whatever it takes and whoever I need to get to back me, got it. Now, a lot of the candidates have been partnering together, having conversations, looking on how they can work together. You know, they’ve played with the thoughts of, hey, I would have found the governor and you’re my, you know, assistant agent or whatever the position is.

They’re kind of throwing that out there and you know, testing the waters. Have you been having conversations with other gubernatorial candidates or those that are in positions that would be equipped to have common sense values and make common sense choices? Have you been in communication and been kind of creating a plan of action? Yes, absolutely. So last weekend I went to a Steve Hilton event and met up with him and we discussed a lot of stuff and a lot of the issues about the curtailing of the water and the, the man made drought and the emergency regulations that Gavin Newsom has in effect.

And then I also met him at another one of his events on Sunday and we went and shot some videos up by the Klamath river where they removed the dams and talks more there. And what I’m seeing is on the Republican side, we are all collaborating together to figure out who’s best for this and who can make this happen. And we’re putting all our ideas together to make this happen and make it a reality instead of, you know, pointing fingers and Arguing and saying, that guy’s bad news. We’re not trying to do none of that. We’re trying to make this happen.

We’re trying to work together, be a team. I love that. David. This is the first time I’ve seen anything like that, you know, in my lifetime. My personal experience up and close of seeing the collaboration and the conversations being had to truly take our, Take our California back and give the power back to we the people, where it belongs. So that is really great to hear. Now let’s talk a bit about border security and sanctuary state. Would you end sanctuary policies and deploy the National Guard to secure our border when you are the governor of California? I would definitely get rid of sanctuary cities for sure.

That’s a bogus. This. That should never have happened. And whatever we need to do to secure a border, we need to do it. So whatever power we can, we have to make that happen, will happen. I got that. I got that. And I am so curious. One of the things that always goes through my mind is, you know, here you’re a farmer, you’re in the bread basket of California. You feed us and so many others, right? And I’ve heard stories right now that there are illegal immigrants that have left the properties. They’re in, in hiding right now.

And there’s tons of fruits and vegetables and all of these things going unpicked and they’re just sitting there rotting. Is that some of the things that you’re experiencing in your neck of the woods? No, we don’t have any issues like that in any way, shape or form. A lot of our stuff is mechanical. You know, it’s all equipment. So we don’t have people out in the fields like picking fruits and stuff. But. And you know, in my garden where that I have, that I provide to people locally, I pick myself. So, you know, I think it’s more of a Central Valley thing where that’s going on.

I don’t know how accurately true it is. You know, you hear some stories of this and that, but I don’t know if it’s really made that big of an effect on everything. I mean, I drove down i5 and about a month ago, and you can just look off the highway and see 50, 100 people out there working in the fields. So there’s still people out there working and they’re still out there doing it. So. Okay. You know, it’s good to know. I mean, oftentimes we’re fit. We. We just weren’t bombarded with propaganda. And I’m sure there Are some fields that, that you know where that is occurring.

I have spoken with reporters that have reported on that. I don’t think it’s everywhere. But thank you for. Thank you for sharing that. Let’s traverse for a second. Let’s talk education. Wow. California has been hit, man. It is bill after bill after bill of taking our rights and power powers away. So how do you restore local control in schools and protect kids and parents from AB495 overreach and other bills that are being passed to. While we are being distracted. Yeah. So stuff like that, like AB495, I mean, first day in office, if I can repeal it or whatever we need to do, we need to make it happen.

So that’s definitely gonna happen for sure. I think any Republican person on the ticket’s gonna do that, not just me. So anybody who could get in there is gonna do that. So that would be definitely. I mean, I def. I have some, some ideas for it. You want me to tell you what I got? What I. My plan? Yeah. So, David, this is your opportunity to bring the meat. We don’t want. You want bring the meat because this is your time to show up. What are you going to do to take our health, you know, one, we need transparent transparency in classrooms.

We need to require schools to publicly post curriculum, the budgets and library material. Mandate parental notification for changes in student gender identity or pronouns. We need parents bill of Rights support legislation to, you know, Federal Bill of Rights which guarantees access, access to curriculum and school budgets. Two parent teacher conferences per year. Notification of school violence or dis disciplinary actions. Protect against school sharing student data with tech companies. Local control over school boards. Empower parents to run for school boards and seats. Influence policy Opposite state level mandates that override local decisions and curriculum and discipline. We need to protect our kids from political indoctrination.

Ban critical race theory, political charge content in K through 12 classrooms. Ensure age appropriate instructions and parental opt out for sex education. School choice and accountability. Expand charter schools and voucher programs. Tie funding to performance, not bureaucracy. If you fail to prepare, you are preparing to fail. I like this. I like the fact that we’ve got real, a real plan behind the scenes. That’s what, what it’s going to take. Because if somebody steps into this role and they do not have a plan and they do not have the ability to collaborate, work together to put people in the positions where they’re going to flourish, then there’s no way we’re going to take our California back.

So I like the fact no, for sure. It’s, you know, it’s if, if I was in office and there was a situation with the school and we need to have a meeting about the schooling. I want to meet with parents, not politicians about it, because politicians don’t do our kids any good. So it’s the parents. Come on. It is the parents. Now let’s talk about gender for a second because you mentioned that when we were talking about education. So let’s go to our core beliefs. Core beliefs for so many Californians that are conservative, that are Republican, and even on the other sides, there are Democrats that have values that are similar to Republican values.

Now we’ve got those that are far on the left that certainly don’t know, do not share our values. So I am curious, are you somewhere in the middle or are you solid on your stand? So let’s talk pro. Let’s talk. Talk pro life. So is pro life important to you? Let’s talk gender. What is gender? Male, female? What do we do with gender? And what is marriage to you? What’s your stand on pro life, gender and marriage? There’s some very good questions here. So, you know, I think it’s hard because, you know, I’m very pro life, but at the same time, I don’t think I have the right to tell somebody what to do with their body, even if I disagree with what they’re doing.

I think it’s their choice, you know, because it, you know, a lot of people are against abortions. I get it. I, I don’t think it’s a great idea. I think there could be alternative options, but it’s just like vaccines. So you can’t, I don’t think you can make. Tell somebody you can’t get abortions and then tell somebody you know about vaccines, you know, because there’s a lot of people on our side that aren’t for vaccines, including my other half. So I just don’t think that I should be the one telling anyone to do with their body, regardless if I don’t like it or not.

So that’s where I’m at with that. You know, if, if you. I believe it’s male and female, that’s all there is. If you want to pretend to be something else, that’s your choice. I’m not gonna stop you from doing it. But don’t come try to force me to, to, you know, be you, what. Do what you want and to do anything. And there ain’t gonna be no males in our females bathrooms or vice versa. It’s just not going to happen on my watch. Got that. And where do you stand on marriage? Well, I mean to me, I mean I know that you know, in the faith people, in the faith community, it’s very important to them.

But as for me, it’s honestly these days it’s just a signed piece of paper. It isn’t what it used to be back when our great grandparents were married or even our grandparents were married. Like it, it’s just so different now. And in today’s society people get married 10 times. You know, like when my grandparents were married, that was it. They married the, who they were being with the rest of their life, you know, so it’s hard because if it was that way, I would be very, I would advocate for it all the time, you know, like it should, it should be that way, but it’s not.

And so today’s it’s just a piece of paper anymore and it’s sad. So I got it. I got it. In what role, David? What role does your faith play in your everyday life and in you taking on this position as the governor of California? Well, I am an ordained minister. I’ve been that way for about 24 years. I went to Catholic school as a kid. My family was very Christian. I don’t think they’re too far off but you know, in my, my great grandpa, he went church every Sunday. My aunt had it, they had their own church.

I went to Sunday school every Sunday. They were Christian. They still are. You know, in my personal life today I’m unfortunately just too busy to do stuff like that. I mean I 100 believe in God, read the lots of verses in the Bible, you know, but I am just a hard working farmer. So, so let’s just pause there for a second. When I think back when I, when I hear you say I’m just a hard working farmer, you know, I grew up in a home where I learned at a very young age what it was to work.

Whether it was picking up a, a big old sponge to wash a car and a truck at three or four years old, helping my mom and dad mo like mowing the lawn, picking the weeds and we had a lot of weeds to pick, you know to having a newspaper routed of 140 houses at 10 years old. So work ethic goes a long way. What is it about your work ethic as a farmer that is going to drive you to truly shift California. California and activate all those you work with? Yeah, so you know, I work non stop seven days a week.

I don’t think in my life there’s not. Here comes the weekend, I get to take the weekend off. I don’t think like that. I think when I open my eyes, it’s work. When I close my eyes, it’s work, you know, so it’s it. That’s all it is. And so, you know, you put me in a situation. If I’m trying to achieve something, the work I’m going to put into that is going to be tenfold of anyone else. It’s going to be from when I open my eyes until I close them every day of the week, seven days a week.

I don’t just stop. I don’t go on vacation. I don’t, you know, take a break. You’re not going to find me spending a bunch of money off on some lavish vacation. I don’t fly nowhere. I don’t do anything. I work. So if I was governor of California, that’s all I’d be doing, is working. No, I’m not gonna be playing in. So. Especially on tax dollar money speaking. Yeah, speaking of tax dollars. Well, let’s just, let’s land right there. What are you going to do about our taxes? So, you know, it’s something I’ve tried to look into a lot and you know, they have it so rigged.

It’s really, until somebody’s in that power position to really be able to understand and what no other to do to undo it all is going to be difficult because so many people rely on what they’ve created. And you, I mean, you just go in and want to cut it all day one, like it’s, it’s gonna be really hard to do that. I think that the first step is figuring out the waste and abuse and trying to, you know, find out where the money’s at and where it went and stop that stuff. And hopefully, you know, that can create some tax relief by not needing that money, you know, for bogus things that they’re doing.

High speed rail and who knows what else. So time for Doge. Yeah, California Doge. And we know there are people that are already doing the work behind the scenes. So it’s a matter of a matter of gathering the experts together so that we can really see the numbers. All right, let’s come up with a solution. Let’s talk about water. Water is imperative. And salute. I’ve got my water with a little bit of sustainability sport in it. Game changer. Love my water. We can’t live without water. We need water and we need water in this great state of California.

So let’s talk. David. Sure. California’s water crisis is struggling. Our heartland drive winters of slash state water project allocations to just 35% as of February 2025, with they say with La Nina looming for more drought whiplash and reservoir straining under record heat. As the. A farmer mogul. As farmer mogul, David, what’s your no BS plan to secure abundant water for the generations to come? Well, first we got to get rid of all the unelected officials that are raining down on everybody and trying to control it when they have no clue what they’re doing. So that’s going to be the first step.

You know, there, there could be a lot of water in the state for farmers and for everyone if it was managed properly and not just controlled by some. Somebody in an office, you know, that has no clue what’s really going on. So I think that’s the big thing is getting in and changing the state water control board and getting rid of all their unelected officials that have no clue what they’re doing other than trying to make it hard on everybody and hard on the farmers. And then we need to, you know, invest in the infrastructure that we’ve already had the money for, you know, and, and doing that and store our water and secure our water and, you know, quit chasing false claims of, you know, these fish and those fish.

You know, if they truly wanted to help those fish, they would try to figure it out and not just blame it on the farmer or, you know, whatever they’re trying to do. And so. So it’s going to take a lot of common sense and a lot of people that know what’s really going on. You know, you hear a lot of things about the delta and the why there’s no fish in the delta. Well, a lot of the delta is filled in with silt. And so, you know, a lot of the delta is like three, four feet deep.

Well, all the strip bass and all them just eat all the fish. So if they went in and dredged that like they used to back in the day, and it was 10, 12ft, eat salmon and fish like that, they could, they could swim below where the strip bass and all that stuff that’s. That can only go three feet down and they would survive. But environmentalists have shut all that dredging down, other than for the ports areas, you know, so there’s a lot of things that they could do in that, and, and it would create more water, it would create more groundwater.

You know, right now it’s just flush into the ocean, you know, and then you hear all These high density housing and stuff like that. Well, where’s the water coming for that? They’re going to take it from us, the farmers to give it to those people. Well, there needs to be things. If you want high density housing somewhere and there’s not enough water, then maybe you need to put in, put in a desalination plant off the ocean for your project before you go and build these houses and not say, well we’ll just take it from the farmer, blame the fish on the farmer, you know, and then he don’t have no water so we’ll just send it down here, you know, like it’s just a game and it’s just time that someone with common sense and that will say no to those people and get rid of them comes in and does it.

So yeah, here we are, common sense. Now let’s bring that common sense to the financial deficit. David. California’s 12 billion. Oh my gosh, is that just nuts when just to even say it is sick. California’s $12 billion deficit black hole just keeps growing from 20, 25, 26 swelling to 20 to 30 billion yearly by 26, 27 isn’t just numbers. It’s strangling rural farms with slashed water subsidies and regulatory chokeholds amid drought whiplash. As the farmer mogul who scaled ops through regulatory health, what’s your dirt under the nails plan to slash waste like auditing ag handouts gone wrong or ag ag handouts gone wrong and revive the heartland’s economy without hiking taxes or working families.

And then last, what qualifies your boots on the ground grip to turn this fiscal flood into fertile ground? Yeah, so you know what I always say is that it, you, you don’t go buy fancy new things that you want if you don’t have the money. And so the problem is like high speed rail, that’s a want that they want. They shouldn’t be buying it. If they had a surplus of money and they wanted to do that, that’s one thing. But when you put us in debt to for who knows what, that stuff’s got to stop. There’s so many pet projects that are pointless.

It’s just like I, where I live, they’re, they’re redirecting the river. Like there’s like about 200ft of the river and they’re moving at about 100ft over for no reason really, other than restoration for the river, that’s one thing. If it was you had a surplus of money and you wanted to do that, but to spend millions and millions and Millions of dollars to move the river 50ft is a waste of money. So. And there’s so many. If you, I mean everybody can look at, can see all the different projects and just call them out and it’s like if you got rid of all those wanted projects versus needed projects, you know, we would save a ton of money and you know, obviously all the illegals taking up a lot of the money, everything that goes on, I mean it’s just crazy how much money they just waste.

So I think by getting just rid of the waste alone is going to be huge on the death deficit. So it’s probably going to take some compromise. So the question is where do we really compromise? California’s gridlock with a democratic supermajority demands real talk or compromise. What principles are you willing to bend on to build coalitions and get results like streamlining regulations or rural urban partnerships? And what red lines are you will you unwilling like no go, no cross, no matter the cost to protect our families, farms and freedoms? Well, you know there, there’s definitely got to be some red tape cut and a lot of it, you know, it’s, you know, I just know that we can’t sacrifice anything for our veterans.

We’re not going to cut them in any way, shape or form and we can’t do the same for our seniors and or kids. Like those are the three main things that we cannot cut anything from. And all you hear a lot of it about Social Security and you hear a lot of it about the veterans and all that stuff. And those are, those are my three no go’s that you’re not cutting any of that. People need to get back to work and quit living off the government. And that’s one of my biggest things. There’s so many people out there that, that are able to work, that don’t that have just a free ride.

They want a free phone, a free this, a free that and that stuff needs to stop. People need to go back to work. We need to get people working again. And I think if we can try to get people more motivated to work, we might, you know, make some ground in that area. So I think that’s important. I love it. I love how you’re, you’re, you’re not going to compromise the children, you’re not going to compromise the elderly. Speaking of children, you have a baby on the way? Yes, yes I do. Yes. Any day between now and the ninth? I think so.

Amazing. So you’re, you’re on standby, you’re like on standby a Lot of people ask it, why aren’t you down in Southern California? I’m like, man, this could happen in five minutes from now. And how many children do you have, David? This will make six. Oh my gosh, you have six children, that’s amazing. I have four. Six is a lot of kids. Okay, so what are their ages, David? 19, 15, eight or wait, I’m sorry, I missed one. So 12, eight and then one and a half and then the new coming. So four boys and two girls.

Amazing. So let me ask you, you do these guys, do these kiddos, do you already have them tilling the soil and starting with a strong work ethic? Yeah. So my daughter wasn’t so much into the farming. You know, she did help me out a little bit here and there and you know, so when she was a teenager, she’s out of high school now, she’s 19, but you know, she helped a little bit, wasn’t her thing. But my 15 year old son, he’s very heavily invested. If he can be on a track tractor, he’ll be on a tractor.

And he’s my right hand man when he’s around to help. So you know, my 8 year old, he’s kind of wanting to drive a little bit. So I, I expect to see him on a tractor here shortly. That is awesome. Come on. I know what that’s like. My dad had a couple of bulldozers, a tractor. Yeah, I get it, I get it. It’s great and it’s a lot of fun. Good to teach them at a very young age, that’s for sure. All right, we’ve got a few more questions before we move on. Sure. Now this one, you know, when we’re talking about the kids, the kids are so dear to our heart.

Human trafficking is a pretty big deal. You know, teams of us got together at a Rev17 conference and raised over $4 million to build a facility called Peace of Heaven, which was a, a transformed prison that was kind of a low, low security prison for women. And, and that’s going to be a safe space for those that are being trafficked. When you look for the real numbers on the Internet, you never get the real numbers of those trafficked. It is horrible what’s happening. And we’ve got to stop the trafficking, especially on rural smuggling roots. Now you might know something about that.

So what’s your plan to nip that in the bud to protect the children and stop the human trafficking? Well, for one, we need to make criminals criminals again. We need to, you know, not let them get Away with everything. You know, you do a crime, you should do the time. And so the government nowadays is just so lax on everything. It don’t matter what you do, you get out of jail five minutes later, nobody’s going to quit doing crimes. And so you know you’re trafficking a kid. I should be high up there and how your punishment like and we need to invest in that.

We need to try to do everything we can to protect kids in every form shape. I don’t care what it is, how it is, there should be no question, you know, if it comes to protecting a kid, we need to do it. I got it. So on your list of the most important, what are your top three that you’re gonna nip in the bud and as soon as you get into office? Well, I mean obviously I’m a farmer. So my close knit, you know, thing of what I want, you know, for, for me is obviously the state water board that’s going to be, you know, any of these unelected officials.

I don’t care where they’re at, you know, car, California Air Resource Board, the state Water board and there’s more. California Coastal Commission, all of them are going to get a huge reality check and get put in check and people are going to get fired, you know, because it’s long overdue. You know, we need to, you know, the diesel truck bans in California is just people wonder why their food costs are so high. It is so impossible to be a truck driver in California and we have to fix that. You know, I, I hear people saying, well for day one we’re going to get rid of $2 a gallon of gas and all this, it’d be great.

But let’s, let’s be, let’s have, let’s. It’s reality. It may not happen that quick. It’s just like, you know, the current administration in the president’s office said he was going to come in and do it one day. It’s really hard to do that quick. I think we can do a lot of things and maybe we can make it happen. But if you’re promising it, I mean I’m not gonna believe anyone that’s promising anything. So I would love to see the $2 a gallon gas cheaper. I mean it hurts me every day of the week. So I will fight for that.

What it’s going to take, I don’t know. We need to drill more oil in California. We need to reduce regulations. So you know that’s going to be on my top priority is to figure out the Gas problem. You know, it’s where I live right now. There’s a gas station. It’s crazy. There’s a gas station on the left side of the road. Diesel is 5.99 a gallon. There’s gas station on the right side of the road. Diesel’s 4.99 a gallon. So it’s a dollar difference. That isn’t because taxes, they’re the same gas stations, just one on one side, one on the other, you know, so there’s more going on than just taxes in the fuel prices.

So we got to figure out where that issue is and you know, if people are price gouging or taking advantage or whatever it is. So, so there’s a lot to do. You know, I think the other thing is, is we need day one. We need to be. If, if it doesn’t happen before, we need to fund Prop 36, you know, that, that needs to happen. It was supposed to happen and the governor should be doing it now because we got to get crime off the streets. It’s hard for businesses to do business when they’re just getting broken into and robbed and that nobody’s doing anything about, you know, what they’re doing.

So that’s got to happen. I see. I noticed that he’s kind of doing some stuff right now if it’s campaigning for a president. But you know, how much is he really gonna, how much effort is he really going to put into it, you know? Right. So I will put 110 effort into it, you know, to make that happen. I mean, there, there’s just so much more that needs to get done. You know, we need to reduce red tape across the board, like big time. And you know, I mean, you know, I think the administration and the federal government says they’re, you know, for every new regulation, they got to get rid of so many.

Well, it needs to be like 10 times that in California because I think I heard somewhere there’s like so many regulations, like, like over 400 something thousand regulations in California. Like, how could anyone like us even fathom understanding that stuff? Like it’s crazy. So, you know, maybe it needs to be like 40 or 50 regulations for one new regulation. Like something crazy, you know, because I mean. Yeah, it’s just. That’s a wonder why it’s so stalled in this state. We gotta get rid of that stuff. Let me ask you this, David. So have you ever run for any elected office in the past? No, I have not.

And you know, it’s. And I hadn’t planned to. Like, I Just wanted to be a farmer and farm with my kids and give them to something to inherit. But I’m so on the verge of losing everything because of the state. I mean, if the state keeps going the way it is, there’s not going to be farmers left in California. Wow. It’s, it’s going to be bad. It’s, you know, like, it’s just not going to happen. We can’t survive like this, you know, and somebody’s got to get in there that, that has common sense, that knows what to do and that can, you know, see through the BS because there’s so much of it and those people don’t really, you know, they’re so focused on politics than really helping the people.

You know, it’s, I mean, I’ve been homeless. I know what it’s like. I’ve been broke many of times recently. I know what it’s like to struggle. Like, it’s not easy. Those guys, they don’t truly care about us. They don’t truly care about the homeless. They’re not really helping them people, you know, so it’s, it’s got to get people in there that actually have a heart that want to help. And so I love it. I don’t want to be a politician ever. I love that. I hear your heart. I’m still going to be a farmer. I’m not going to be a politician.

I don’t want to be labeled a politician ever. So I got it. You are a farmer, a farmer mogul. So, David, would you ever. Would you be open to the possibility of running for governor and at the same time putting, putting your, putting, throwing the hat in for state water board? Yeah, I mean, I’m, I’m open for anything. If there’s any way I can help or make change in a positive way, I’m all for doing anything. So, you know, I’m just trying to figure out where I fit in and, and who, you know, and just making sure who’s best for the job.

So would you be willing to get behind, like, if you saw there was another candidate that was fit for the job, would, or like, better fit for the job if you felt that, you know what, I’ve waited out this person. I think he’s going to be a better, better fit and I’m going to be a better fit here. Would you be willing to collaborate and take on another role and, you know, get behind another candidate? That’s, that’s my, been my whole, my whole thing. So that’s what I’m planning to do so, you know, whether I’m in the front running or not, I want to be somewhere involved and I will step right out of the way if I know there’s somebody else that can win this.

Because we have to win in this. There’s no fans or butts. You know, it’s got to get done. And, you know, people need to vote no on Prop 50. Like that has to happen. That’s going to set the tone for the election. So we need to make that happen. Everybody needs vote now. No one. I’ve got that. David, do me a favor, Shut your camera off for a second and then turn it back on because you’re frozen right now. And I want to make sure we can. We can see you. You’re in the frozen. Shut your camera off for a second.

So go down to the bottom and just. Yeah, now put it back on and let’s see if that kind of clears it. Okay. Because you are frozen. All right, so you’re a little bit frozen. We’re going to keep going. We’ve got just a couple more questions just to clip before we close it up tonight. They are important questions. I want to give you the opportunity. What is election integrity? David? So, David, you can hear me, okay? Yes. Fantastic. So this is a pretty common sense question. How do you win in a system that many believe is rigged? When we’re talking election integrity, how do you win in a system where many believe the system is rigged? Well, you know, you just have to try.

We’re gonna have to try. And we have to get everybody out there. You know, I, I will say this. Steve Hilton had a good talk the other day. You know, if everybody in California that voted for Donald Trump votes for the California governor, whoever is at the top of the list, they will win. And so we have to get all of those people willing to vote again for the people for whoever’s running in the top for the governor. Okay, I got that. So getting out to vote. We need to get people out to vote. You know, I was at a thing a while back for my local community and I love the elderly people that go to those things.

One thing that was kind of, is kind of concerning to me is my daughter was the only young generation there. We got to start getting more of those people to those type of events and involved. So, yes, we gotta do that and that that needs to happen, happen. We need all. Everybody running for governor needs to do this to help make this happen for whoever is the top. Like, this isn’t just a race for me. This is A race for everybody. And this is a race for California. Yeah. So it’s time that we all make it happen for whoever does make it to the top.

I love it. I love it. You know, David, I’m thinking of you as a farmer drawing in all of the understand what their constitutional rights are they under. They understand that they have the ability to allow their voices to be heard by voting. I mean, that would be incredible. I mean, that just might be something. Some seeds that you can sow that may really? Absolutely. Okay, final question. Unless there’s something more you want to bring to the table, because there might be something I’ve overlooked, but here’s my question right now. What is one bold move that you’re gonna make to make California great again? So one bold move that you will make to make California great again.

Oh, that’s a tough one. Well, I know my. One of my main plans is on day one is I want to start the largest road paving operation that this state has ever seen because our roads are in such bad shape. When you read we can do this, we just got to work together. We got to collaborate. We got to put all our ideas in one basket and figure out who’s the best to lead, and let’s all make it happen. Come on. Come on. Heartland strength. David Kahlenberg. That is the backbone that we need. David, thank you so much for being with us today.

Thank you. On round six of the take your power back California governor showdown, we’re going to be talking to you very soon. And as soon as she gives if that baby, if she goes into into birth, if she starts, you gotta let me know. I’ll be praying for you guys. Absolutely. God bless you, David. Let’s take our California back. All right, guys. Wow. That is David Callenberg. And around the corner is Jim Athens. Now I’m looking in the back room for Jim Athens. And if Jim Athens is hearing my voice, Jonathan’s is getting ready to enter into the take your power back show room in just a moment.

But before we bring Jim into the room, we’re going to take a moment to thank our sponsors who make today’s show possible. You know, the fire is growing. The spark is growing. Today we’ve already, you know, been so inspired by Charlie Kirk. I mean, I mean, we’ve experienced the loss. We’re still grieving that loss, and at the same time, it’s igniting a fire in every single one of us. A fire to get in the fight and love and fight like Charlie. Now before we bring in our next Warrior who has made the decision to fight like Charlie.

Jim Athens. We’re going to take a moment to say say thank you to two of our very special sponsors. We want to introduce you to those sponsors because it is because of these sponsors that the take your power back show is possible. So our first sponsor up today that we’re going to take a moment to thank and tell you about, and I’m going to pull them up right now is our freedom stakes now. I said that right? Freedom stakes now.

We’re scrolling down. I see Boone, Cutler. We’re gonna honor. Oh, here we go. Jim Athens, and I’m running for governor of the great state of California. One of the things I do, I’m a real estate agent, and I sell houses. I like to sell big houses. I’m selling this one behind me. I sold the biggest house on this peninsula. Hey, guys, my name is Jim Athens, and I’m running for governor of the great state of California.

One of the things I do, I’m a real estate agent, and I sell houses. I like to sell big houses. I’m selling this one behind me. I sold the biggest house on this peninsula, and I like to do big things, and I want to do big things for the state of California. And if you elect me governor, so help me God, that’s what we’ll do. All these problems. Look at this view. I love it. That’s support of Los Angeles. All of these problems, they’re gonna melt away with the strength of the sun that’s coming up over the horizon.

And to quote Ronald Reagan, to paraphrase Ronald Reagan, it’s morning in California. I’m Jim Athens, and I’m running for governor of this great state of California. Jim. Hey, guys, we got to hear him twice you gotta absolutely love it. All right, Jim, let’s bring you in the room. Hey, listen, that’s a tough act to follow. I don’t know. That’s my best. I might as well just put right here. Now, listen, here’s the thing. Sometimes the best things come to when there’s all these, like, technical challenges. It tells me you have a message to bring today. So we’re just so excited to have you.

You have quite a background. So why don’t you just first start us off telling us a little bit about who you are and what has driven you to take on the role of the governor of California. Okay. Well, you know, it’s good that I followed this gentleman because it allowed me to kind of sit here with my thoughts and kind of gel my message. I, I have to. You have to believe you’re here for a reason, and I do. You have to believe that you’re here for. To quote the Book of Esther, you’re here for such a time as this, and you have to believe that God’s with you.

You have to believe you’ve got something to bring. You have to. You know, I like, I like to bring enthusiasm, but in the first debate, when they, when they let me introduce myself, I said, I’m a Christian minister. There’s some. Everybody’s a minister nowadays. Right. But, but, you know, I’m gonna see everything I do, I want everybody to know right up front, everything I do is going to be through that lens. I govern my own life through a Judeo Christian ethos, through a Judeo Christian ethic. And every, everything I look at, every problem that I’m going to look at on behalf of.

Of the people of California is going to be through that lens. And so help me God, and, and that’s what I’m all about. And you’re asking David Cullenberg, was that his name? David Cullenberg? Yes. Very good. I was very impressed with him. But there were some differences of agreement, of agreement of opinion. And one of which was abortion. Another was marriage. I’m not going to compromise on those areas. Win or lose, I’m not going to compromise on those areas. I’m going to. I’m going to stand on what I know to be right, what I’ve been taught to be right.

And I believe this Republican base feels the same way, much of which feels the same way. And we want, I think we want a leader that’s willing to say no, no, not no to abortion. I, I look as a leader, As a leader, and by whatever means necessary, I Look at a leader as a father, as a father of this nation now, when, if my daughter came home, she’s grown up now and came home and said, dad, I’m going to have abortion, you know, the answer is at 15 years old or whatever, it’s no. It’s no.

We’re not gonna, it’s not gonna happen here. Honey. We’re gonna. I love you. We’re gonna figure this out. We’re gonna do what? We’re gonna give that baby up for adoption. But we’re not going to have. Also, you’ve made a mistake. We’re not going to have this, this damage to your character and all that. I care about you. I care about you. I care about the, the young ladies of California. So, so no on that. No on same sex marriage. Everything I’m looking at is through the Judeo Christian lens. If you wanna, if you wanna go. I’m not a party pooper.

I, I like to have fun. I’m not so goody two shoes. But, but no, no on these. If you’re, if you’re looking at me for a candidate, it’s. The answer is no on these issues. No on transgender transitioning men and girls bathrooms. That’s a big no. That’s a law enforcement no. That’s, that’s. You better not know. And I’m going to stand to take a stand on that. And, and the same with, the same with law enforcement. Nobody, nobody wants to be the heavy. Nobody wants to be the heavy. But we’re running for an office here again.

That’s a very weighty position. We don’t want somebody that’s wishy washy. We have a serious problem with crime here in California. I heard some, or I read somebody refer to it as controlled anarchy. Do you ever get that impression when you’re out on the streets of Los Angeles, where I’m generally from controlled anarchy. You’re afraid to go out on the streets. We’re afraid of our own children. And the buck has to stop here. I’m willing to step forward. I’m willing to step forward. This is, this is. Let’s touch on that. Jim, how do we stop the controlled anarchy? Leadership.

Leadership. If I’m exhibiting that right now, Hear me clearly. We’re. The buck’s gonna stop there leadership. I’m not going to. We’re not going to be concerned about catering to special interests that. Not special interests, but interests that don’t care about this country that just want to tear down and supplant. We got it. We got to have a society here, we don’t have one. I agree with Donald Trump. You know, we don’t have a nation. If we don’t have law and order, we don’t have a nation. And the same with the state of California. And California is the most potential of any state.

I really believe that. But we’re in one of the biggest messes of any state as well. That’s right. You know what I mean? We have such potential and it’s just a shame, it’s just a shame. We’re not like Ronald Reagan. So you can tell I like Ronald Reagan, that’s my guy. But we’re not that shining city on a hill here. We should be. We’re the biggest state. We’re the, we got the fourth largest economy in the world. There’s meeting prosperity zones and all of our challenged urban cores and stuff like that. What a prosperity zone is, is an opportunity zone on steroids.

And, and I guess I could best liken it to. This isn’t where I got the idea. But as I was, I was working on the idea and as I’ve been working on it over the, over the years, you just kind of add to it in your mind. This would help. This would, this would solve this situation. What comes to mind is Peter Uberoff in, in the aftermath of the Los Angeles riots. Do you remember that? And it was the Rebuild LA campaign and everything. And that thing sadly failed. Failed because of, although, although they did a lot of good but because of political infighting and stuff we’re not going to go there.

But, but we get into these cores and I’m talking, and I’m talking bringing business almost like a cookie cutter vision version of, of 10, 20, 40, 50 businesses that are, commit to moving in a zone for the purposes of bringing prosperity, bringing jobs and you know, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, I remember Taco Bells were going up in 18 days in South Central Los Angeles under. We can do this. We can do this. And we can do this by offering them tax incentives. We can create opportunity zones. I call them prosperity zones. And I’ve been working on this idea for the longest time.

I love real estate. If you can’t tell by looking at my, my, my video. And I’ll tell you, you’ll sit in those open houses and you’ll solve the problems of the world. You know, as far as, as far as, you know, our housing situation and everything. And so I’ve had a lot of time, given a lot of thought to this. I’m excited about that. I’m Excited about bringing prosperity zones all over the state of California. Okay, so, so let’s, let’s do this for a second. So I have something in my mind now. This might not be in everybody’s mind, but I think of like the 15 minute cities and I think of the global agenda.

Can you tell me what distinguishes the prosperity stone, prosperity zones from the 15 minute cities? Well, I, I, you know, I can’t speak to the 15 Minute City. I have to tell you that’s new to me. I’ve only heard a little bit about it. So, so just being up front, I’m willing to look at it and maybe there’s some good stuff that you can pull from it. I’m not against looking at other people’s ideas, but the prosperity zone is going to give jobs to everybody. That’s what I like about that. People can, from those local areas can come in and work in those local areas.

You’ll have your grocery store, you’ll have, have your fast food, you’ll have your 24 Hour Fitness, you know, whoever’s coming in and you’ll have, you’ll, you’ll just plant these zones, these economic pre prepared zones into these areas that these areas need anyway, you know. You know, in South Central la, sadly the businesses have left, these will be protected. They have left. And all you have is liquor stores, right? Jobs are gone, hope is gone, they’re blighted and they’re run down. I’m enthusiastic about that. I think we can do that. So how do you do that in let’s say South Central? Let’s just talk about that land because you’ve got a lot of, a lot of drug users, a lot of crime.

I mean you’ve got, you know, there’s a mind mindset there that is, I know that, I know the government. So how do you turn that around? There’s nothing that cleans a neighborhood up like cleaning a neighborhood up. Do you know what I mean? You get some successful businesses, some nice storefronts. It’s amazing how it changes a neighborhood. You get some respectability. I mean who wouldn’t be discouraged with the blight and the graffiti, you know what I’m saying? So, so opportunity, opportunity and people like Maya Angelou says, I always like that people rise. People rise when you give them the opportunity to rise.

How do we shift crime in those neighborhoods? Well, there’s, there’s no doubt that we gotta be tough on crime. Opportunity from listen, from cradle to grave, we gotta be involved in people, people’s lives to, to, you know, Invest in people’s lives to turn to, for. To give everybody a chance and go the, to go the right way. Opportunities for everybody. This is what, this is what I want to tend to. I want to devote my entire time, My idea. Your idea, whatever works. I want to invest my time for the people of California and to build the people of California.

But so we don’t. So these aren’t issues, but we do have an awful, an awful situation with crime in this country. And frankly, we certainly do. Yeah, frankly, we got to get tough on it. We got to get tough on it. So let’s. To land that plane. What is one action step that you’re going to take as governor? To get tough on. Okay, well, well, just let me back up just a little bit before we land that plane. Accountability. You know, you’re not. Yeah, we need accountability. We don’t have accountability. We have the revolving door. And listen, you know, it’s.

We’re not doing anybody. If we really cared about the offender, we would, we would, we would hold them accountable. Society would hold them accountable. It’s only within the framework work of accountability that that mercy even works. You’ve got to have accountability. I know that as a pastor, you got to have accountability. And then, and then, you know, we want to rehabilitate people and stuff like that, but we’ve got to have accountability. We’ve got to enforce the laws. And some people are just frankly bad players. I hate to say that. Bad actors. We’ve got to be the type, we’ve got to make get tough when we, when we’ve got to be tough.

I’m ready to do that. I’m ready to let law enforcement do what we have hired them to do. I don’t want to tie their hands anymore. And I want to create a climate where. Wouldn’t this be wonderful that you’re so tough on crime that we can walk anywhere in downtown Los Angeles at any time of the day or night and not be scared for our lives? Well, you know what, Know what’s funny? I have to tell you something real quick that that picture is. It’s a beautiful picture. Now in Venezuela, when the. Those that were in prison were released and then sent to the United States, it was the only way for them to be released.

Do you know that locals that came back to visit Venezuela saw people walking around the streets on their cell phones and they were like, what the heck is going on here? Because you would never walk around with your cell phone because you would be robbed in an instant. So can you imagine we can change it overnight in la, in certain parts that you actually could walk around the streets. Okay, so law enforcement, so you’re going to support law enforcement. So what is one initiative that you’re going to put in place to support law enforcement? Oh, well, these are, those are things I want to look at.

Those are things I want to look at. I, I, you know, I have, like, again, I have the perspective, but let’s see what’s out there. But, but whatever it is, is full support, full support for our law enforcement officers. I want to give, I want to create deterrence for crime, such as programs for our youth. Whatever’s necessary, necessary, because we don’t, we don’t want to be all about punishment. But, but the fact of the matter is we got some bad guys that need to go to jail and some need to go to jail for a long time.

Let’s be honest, let’s do the tough work. Let’s send those signals, let’s send those messages that we’re done, we’re done. We’re gonna have accountability now. And within that framework are you young people grow up. There’s only one direction, huh? Speaking of accountability, let’s transition for a second. Speaking of accountability, you talk about the California Dodge audit. So in the Cal Dodge plan, the otter audit, government waste, how do you track the missing bullet train billions? Oh, I would love to try. Good. Here’s the answer. Good men. I don’t know that I can find it, but there’s some guys that can.

And as governor, I tell you, I learned something. I was a manager for Domino’s Pizza years ago, and they said something that I’ve never forgotten. A good manager is not the best pizza maker, not necessarily the best pizza maker, but he’s got the best pizza makers working for him. So, so yes, we’ll get, you know, Donald Trump got, got Elon Musk and they got their little Doge team. It’s amazing how that was resisted because don’t we all want to stop wasting everything? What we didn’t know or what I didn’t know was that, and I’m sure a lot of the American people is that the liberal forces were hidden in all these bureaucracies and these were their power bases.

And they resisted it tooth and nail. And, and, you know, but it’s funny, the dirt that spilled out once the dagger was stuck in. We need that here in this state. We really do need that here in the state. You talk about which taxes to eliminate. Listen, there’s so much money there. You were talking earlier, about a $10 billion deficit really in this economy. The fourth largest economy in the world really is nothing. We can find it. We can find that money for balancing the budget easily in a Caldos type program. We. And also I went on as a contractor.

I’m very, very aware of this. Mr. Kahlenberg was talking about paving streets. That’s what I, that’s what I do real estate and paving and have done all my life paving. And as a contractor, I’ve seen there’s an entire. In California especially and a large part of it is due to, to illegal immigration stuff. There’s a huge underground economy. Listen, I don’t want to put you in jail. I want to give you licenses. I want to give you, I want to give you the ability and I’m not talking about illegal activities or anything like that, but anybody that participates in the underground economy and I want to get that $40 billion that you’re not paying in taxes per year.

We can do that overnight. We can legitimize a lot of guys that are in that parameter. Here’s, here’s wildlife guys are in, that are in those parameters. It’s hard to do business in California. We’ve got to streamline, we got to deregulate. And then plus also another source of money. Come on back. People that have left this state. Come on back. We’ll give you. I don’t care if you don’t have to pay taxes for a while because, because we’re going to have a tax base like second and none when we get all these new jobs that they’re, you know, we put California back to work and there’s money to be found.

There’s money in those three areas. There’s that we will answer all of our problems where we’re only $1.6 trillion in debt. That’s not a lot of money. Money. When you look at the, the federal government’s debt, it’s like 40 billion just ticking away like faster than you could blink your eyes. But, but California, our problems aren’t that big. Fourth largest economy. Here’s what you need. Here’s what you need. You need a can do attitude. You need the, you need the enthusiasm. What we need, that’s what we used to have. That’s why I like this man here, Ronald Reagan.

You’re coming for. I borrowed that, by the way. It’s morning in California. Remember he said it was morning in, in America. But we need the enthusiasm. We need that enthusiasm. People need to see that enthusiasm. It’s big. It’s gonna go far. It’s gonna get us far. Yes, we love. Absolutely. Attitude is everything. So now on your website, when we’re talking about caldoge for you, your Cal Doge audit blueprint, which you’ve talked about, screams accountability. You’ve been seeing accountability. How do you deploy it to claw back billions from boondoggles like the bullet train black hole. I want to find more than direct and redirect to prosperity zones for housing heroes.

Thank you. And there’s all types of prosperity zones. I can, I can envision all types of different. I’m open to suggestions. That’s just one little cookie cutter version. But yeah, concerning the train, where did that money go and whose pocket did that go into? I want accountability on that. We need to send a strong message to, to bureaucrats and everything. Don’t you steal from us. That’s our money. That’s our money. That’s our children’s money. Don’t. That’s. Those days are over and people need to go to jail for that kind of times. Where did that money go? Yeah, that’s, I mean, that’s, that’s sacred.

The will of the people. The, the money of the people. The heart, the sweat and blood of the people. It’s not just free. You can’t just take that money. And, and there does need to be accounted. But, but going back to. You said, how am I going to pull back? Going back to the pizza. Yeah. How are you going to deploy it? I have ideas. But, but there are better men for that that are suited for that. I’d be the manager that says, let’s get them on board. Let’s go after these, let’s go after these forms of waste and fraud again.

Through that lens, we can solve these problems and we’ll get good men on. And there’s a lot of good men in California now. That’s waste. That’s dealing with waste, fraud and abuse. Now let’s, let’s talk about homelessness because it’s all connected. So, Jim, you talk about your plan to use eminent domain. Might be unpopular, but. Yeah, well, let’s talk about that. So what I’ve heard is you use eminent domain disease casinos for homeless treatment. You know, I have a, this, this hits home with me because I’ve had a gambling problem in, in the past. And, and I’ve, you know, and I’ve just watched them put these, these casino operators put these casinos right in the middle of an urban core and just gut the local economy.

And I’ve, you know, I’ve Actually sat at gambling tables just, you know, I, I, I, I’m not that bad, but I’ve, I’ve actually sat tables and watched and watched inner city people giving their last dollars, you know, without money to go home. And so I’m not going to feel bad. Those are great big buildings, those are great. Eminent domain reimburses them for their buildings. We’re not stealing nothing from nobody. But I’ll claim those buildings right in the urban core. They’ve created much of the problems that exist in, in our big cities. And now I wouldn’t go after Indian casinos.

That’s a, that’s a sovereign thing. I actually support that type of thing for rebuilding a very historically depressed constituency. But, but, but I would go after these, these casinos that do nothing but just take from, dismantle and have added and have contributed heavily to homelessness. I’ll take that by imminent domain. Those are going to become the new centers for rehabilitation, for job training. So I’m assuming that you’re gonna get those casinos, right? Yeah, it’s all coming out. Yeah. You’re not gonna put them to work in a casino. I got that. We’re not leaving the blackjack tables in there.

Exactly, exactly. That’s fantastic. Well, I’ll tell you, you know, you talk about these communities that are the poor communities, the hard working and sometimes not necessarily the hard working, but the receiving from the government communities. And that’s also what you’ll find Planned Parenthood set up. Right. So it’s just degradation of society. So having that positive. Let me add. Right. Can I add in there real quick before you move on? Yeah, yeah. You’re going to find title loans. Okay. And money, payday advances because they’re preying upon the poor. That’s why I want to create an opportunity. So you’ve got liquor stores, payday advances, title loans, casinos.

It’s just, you know, I mean some neighborhoods we need to, we need to step in and, and help out. And I love, I love the idea of prosperity zones. The thing that doesn’t make that what, you know, a lot of people come forward and the Trump administration came forward with Tim Scott. I applaud them for their efforts. But the thing that, why opportunity zones don’t really work so much is because you’re only allowing, you’re only a business here, a business business there, taking a part of, of tax incentives or something. I want to come in and just, and just replace an entire area.

Just like rebuild LA down and rebuild an entire section of, you know, a four block, a Ten block area. And, Jim, you have an experience of turning distressed properties into thriving hubs. You’ve done that before? Yes. Yes, I have. Okay, got it. And how can you take the. Like if you were to audit the waste, seize assets for homeless havens and unleash water. Smart growth that makes California golden again. Is this something like these three key things I just brought up? Is this something that you have an actual plan, or are you looking at bringing in the experts in those areas and collaborating? Well, I’m sharing with you my plans.

I’m sharing with you my plans. I like, I’d like listen to Mr. Kahlenberg. He said sometimes it’s just as simple as. As good management. Right. As far as the water, you know, what’s the plan? Turn the spigot on Gavin Newsom. And. And then. And then the Pacific Palisades would have had enough water to. Or to. Or more water to fight that. Those fires. That, that doesn’t. That’s not much of a plan. That is, again, the common sense approach. Good management. Good management. I agree with him when he said that. Good management. So much of that we may look in, as far as water goes.

We may. I. I’ve always thought salinization plants and stuff was a great idea. I, I have to tell you, I haven’t looked at it deeply enough to see if it’s, you know, if it’s. If it’s enough to answer all the needs. The term escapes me. But, but, but it can. It can answer some. It can answer some fresh, clean water in certain areas that are challenged. Yes. So, Jim, there’s a lot of very detailed areas that require much attention in the state of California. You have a little over a. Well, actually, June are the primaries, right? So you have a.

Less than a year, a window of time right now to get all your ducks in a row. What is your strategy in the next seven months to get your ducks in a row, to have your hand to get your mind wrapped about. Well, you’re talking to an entrepreneur, a lifetime entrepreneur. And I know what it’s like to start businesses. That’s a. It’s a. It’s hard work. I’m hearing that. I’m hearing that. Like, that seems to be the theme for those that are running is one, you guys are willing to stand in the gap. You guys are willing to put in the hard work.

So, Jim, let me ask you this. If you find that there is someone that is running against you for governor, that if you were to see them as somebody that might be more equipped Are you willing to get behind them? Are you willing to take on a key role in your area of expertise to get. The short answer is yes. However. However, that’s not how I’ve conducted my life. That’s not how I build a business. You have to, you, number one, you have to believe that God is with. God himself is with you, and therefore you have a purpose.

If God’s with you, if God’s given you the unction, then he’s saying you’re the man for the job and I got your back. And so, yes, of course I would, but I, at this point, at this point, I’m saying let the voters of California see about me for a minute. Let’s see what they think about me. Let them see my enthusiasm, let them see my heart, let them see my drive, let them see my purpose, let them see my focus, let them see my ambition. And, and then if we get to the point where a decision is made, and of course, of course we do, of course we lift up, we lift up, we, we hold up, we support, we get, we rally.

Right? But at this point, my answer is no. Yes and yes, if it comes to that, right now I, I just have to believe God’s put me where. Where he’s put me of me. Right, Totally got that. Now let’s traverse for a second because I hear you, you are taking on the call of Governor because that you believe is a, it’s a God calling for you. So you’re all in. And, and I would believe that God would make that way clear for you as you move forward. So let’s traverse for a second. We’re going to go, we’re going to touch on border security real quick.

Education, human trafficking and election integrity. Yeah. So let’s hit border security and sanctuary states. Would you end sanctuary policies and deploy the National Guard? Absolutely. No question. As a matter of fact, I mean, I, like I said in my, my. Some of the stuff I sent you, please come, please come. Let’s. We’re in a mess. Let’s get out here, let’s get this all straightened out. Again, controlled anarchy. And one of the reasons is we’ve got a lot of people, people on these streets that shouldn’t be here, that are quite dangerous. I understand the question of having immigrants and I’ll quote the Statue of Liberty, whoever said that the, the ones that want to come yearning to breathe free.

I understand that we’re all immigrants, you know, from some. Our grandparents or something. My grandfather, Athens is a Greek name. He came over to Ellis island the name was shortened from Athanasoplus to Athens at Ellis Island. And so I understand immigration, I understand wanting to be a part of this great experiment, but, but I don’t understand people coming in and, and kidnapping our church. It’s unthinkable how that we’ve arrived here. I don’t understand people wanting to come in and rape, you know, that view this opportunity as an opportunity to perform wickedness. They got to go. There’s no sanctuary city here for you.

You know, and even if, even if the city council votes at a sanctuary city, I’m not playing along, okay? I would have an overarching authority such as the National Guard, the, you know, the regional. Got it. Fantastic. Yeah, we’re not standing for that. We’re not standing. Okay, let’s talk education. How do you fix schools and repeal bills like AB495 to protect the child and the parental rights? Again, how did we get here? How did we get here? I do remember growing up and being in school and none of these, I look back at, I was reading some, some the statistics in the 1950s.

The worst problems that kid that the kids had in school was gum chewing. Wow. I mean, those are better days. This country has seen better days. And, and you know, how did we get here? And this is about taking back, my gosh, the, the solutions. Problems are myriad, but so are the solutions. I’m, here’s what I’m being big on. I’m big on parental involvement. I mean, we have, we have compromised the integrity of the, the nuclear family here in America and therefore we’ve lost everything. If you lose the nuclear family, if you let families break down, then, and in this case the influence and authority of the family, then anything goes in our schools.

So, so I want people involved from grassroots. I also want, you know, this is a different, this is different than what I’ll do legally, but I also want to encourage faith based initiatives. I want to see a revival here in America. This is me personally. I will govern, you know, within the confines of government, but I will influence from the bully pulpit renewal of our, of our values. I want to see revival. Listen, when that happens, everything changes. This isn’t even a conversation anymore. When we have revival and good people and, and hearts that are changed and, and that’s why I want to be present as a minister.

That’s what I want to bring. I want to, I want to be present there. I want to use the bully pulpit. I’ve used the pulpit before and I’ve seen. It’s the power of, of its influence. And I do believe that the bully pulpit is just as influential in this irrespective of what we do in government. It’s just as influential, if not more so in the country as, as we have it. So. Yes. Good, good, good. Now let’s continue to talk about the children. Human trafficking again, it is, is. It’s off in the state of California. It’s underground and it’s all throughout the state.

Whether it be the trains, the bus ports, I’m fine with. With businesses. How do we stop it? How do we nip it in the bud? How do we rescue these children? Yeah, yeah, I, I’m. Well, number one, we got to keep an eye, you know, on our kids kids and we got to get the bad actors out. But I’m all for removing search and seizure laws that are in place that, that, that keep us from going in and just, and just going into these places and looking for people that, that have been, that have been take, taken off the streets and, and it’s just a more concentrated effort that that’s got to stop stuff.

I’m for again, I like, I like the grassroots initiatives. I’m for neighborhood watch programs. I’m for. Do you remember when we could run around in the neighborhoods and everybody. We were accountable to all. Somebody’s parent over here. I’ll tell you what. Yes, yes. We talked about this a lot with the Take our quarterback movement across the country that we have forgotten how to protect our communities. Yeah. And our neighbors. I mean people are driving up and their garage doors are closing. There’s kids aren’t playing in the street. Very rarely do you find that. Now I do have a street where we’ve always had kids playing, which is amazing.

Yeah. So exactly. What about the NGOs? So we saw what Gavin Newsom did. We saw how he funneled the money to the illegal immigrants through the NGOs or we. He basically fulfilled on the Biden administration’s plan. Right. To infiltrate our country in national breach of security. And he used the NGOS to get them the money to do it. So what’s your plan for the NGOs? Okay, so when you’re. And this is, this is the first part of the, the interview where I have to ask you what you’re referring to as the NGOs. Non government organizations, kind of like Catholic Charities, Jewish community centers.

A lot of these organizations were found telling illegal immigrants, hey, this is what you need to do. You need to declare asylum. This is what you like. They. I wonder as we’ve seen all that trans transpire and unfold. You wonder if they, if they, they just want to dismantle this society. You wonder if that’s their purpose, to create a chaos that dismantles this ideology, our ideology that they hate so much. And, and who was at the helm? Maybe it wasn’t Joe Biden because they were using the auto pin and everything. Who’s at the helm when we let 25 million illegal aliens come in into this country unvetted.

Unvetted. Who was at the helm? However they’ve gotten here. However. However. Wherever monies were funneled through whatever places are called sanctuary cities, whatever monies, hotels were paid for and people were put up. That’s right Here in San Diego, I was unfamiliar with the term ngo. I do come from the private sector. Forgive me. Yeah, these things are important to me, but I wasn’t. Yes. And I’ll tell you what. If you are a man that loves God, you’re a pastor, you’re an entrepreneur. The children are on the hearts, is on the heart of the Father. And if we continue to allow these things, there are natural consequences of the breakdown of our society.

We’ve lost, lost connection with the head. So how will you get us back connected to the source? That again? Like I started out saying, everything I do is going to be through that, through that lens, that Judeo, Christian ethic, ethos. So, so every form of legislation, everything I signed, I, I mentioned executive orders like crazy. Whatever we need. I love what Donald Trump is. I love what he’s doing, because I love that. And I intend to do it. I intend to do it. You give me the power, we’ll sit down and we’ll just take care of things like that.

We don’t. We bypass a gridlocked legislature, you know, do what y’ all can do over there, but we’re gonna have. We’re gonna have. We’re gonna have a groundswell of, of good people taking their country back. Beautiful. Now let’s transition to election integrity. How do you win? How do you win in a rigged system? Well, what was it that Donald Trump said that was too big to, to be illegitimate? What was he. It rhymed. Whatever. Too big to rig. I love that. Come on, guys, get out there. Get out there. Everybody’s got to get out there. Let’s, let’s do our best at the, you know, monitoring things, representing things, overseeing things, get as involved as we can.

But. But too big to rig. That’s, that’s what we want to do. Let’s, let’s get out there in numbers. Well, Jim, let me, let me share something with you. I had a meeting with the EIPCA California the other day. An amazing, amazing group. And, you know, one of the things that Linda Payne was sharing with me was, Kim, we’re so surprised. You know, we have communities, like some communities in San Diego, where we’ve got a lot of volunteers who are saying, hey, I want to sign up for this. I want to sign up for this. You know, when it comes to election integrity, when it comes to canvassing our counties, making sure that dead people aren’t voting, making sure that people voting from other states.

Right. Making sure that we don’t have illegals on the ballot. And she was shocked because here’s what she saw. She saw that many of them, the conservatives that support Trump, you know, we Republicans were kind of fat, dumb and happy, kind of like, hey, we won. We’re good to go. We’re good to go. We don’t need a volunteer. I already fought the good fight. Yeah. You know, I want to remind people, and I’m sure, Jim, you remember when President Trump said, I’m standing in the way of them getting to you, and he created the space for we the People to step into.

It’s now time for we the People to stand in the gap now more than ever, get involved. We need to volunteer. And there are so many different ways that we can do that. Right. So what’s your take on that? Well, there’s a difference between what a candidate can do and what a governor can do. But as you’re speaking, I just love the idea of the bullhorn of the bully pulpit. And I written as you’re speaking, it just comes to me because the wheels are always turning on behalf of the people, the American people, the people of California.

I, I just, I just, I just love that. But I’m thinking the candidates position, look at me, I’m talking to how many thousands of people right now? This is a bully pulpit right now. That just came to me, that just hit me. So when I get off here, I’m gonna, I’m gonna sit down, I’m gonna say, how can I influence this election? How can I bring attention to that issue? Yes, as a candidate, you can, you know, you can encourage and all that. A governor, you can legislate or you can use the executive order. So it’s different.

But, but I would like to demonstrate, you know, and I, I think I’m going to go back to the drawing board on a lot of things. I love that. I love that. And One of the things you might just want to consider if it’s okay if I offer this, you know, on April 25th, we’re going to do our second round of the take your power up, take your power back. California governor showdown. Right. We’ll kind of have a smaller group because we will have more clarity by that. Be amazing. One of the things we’re going to implement is you show up with id, you’re handed a ballot.

Yes. You have the opportunity to vote. It is paper ballot, hand counted, cameras everywhere. We’re going to see that vote cast right there on that stage counted before you leave. In that house of a thousand, you’re gonna see how easy it is to go back to paper ballot. Right. As the most effective way. And that’s what we’ve heard President Trump say all along. So that’s the direction that we are moving towards because we know we continue to do it the way we’re doing it, we’re going to get the same results. Yes, we need to show up too big to rig.

But the reality is as long as the machines are in place, they can be manipulated. So we have the ability to truly take our power back when it comes to elections. So I want to know more about that. I want to know more about that. And, and I want to participate. So that’s fantastic. Fantastic. Okay, so when we. Let’s talk about those executive orders. I want you to give me the moment. You’re in office as governor. What is the executive order that you’re like, done? The problems are so myriad. Oh, choose one. Oh, my gosh. Do I have a pet project that I want to say? I have, I have this overarching philosophy.

I think I’ve, I’ve tried, I’ve tried to demonstrate that here today. You know what? Ask me that on November 8th. Can you do that? Let me reframe it. Let me reframe it. Okay. Let me reframe it. There’s a lot I would do if it were. Imagine you’ve got the domino set and the dominoes for all the changes to be shifted. The dominoes are set right. You know, when you hit one, the rest are gonna go and line up. Well, you put it that way. We gotta go to our schools. We gotta go to our schools first.

We have to stop. Stop the indoctrination. We have to. The buck stops here. You’re here, you guys are here to teach the kids. And if you’re not gonna, if you’ve got this, if you’ve got this ideology that you’re trying to, to put over on the kids. Then, then we want people that are coming in and teach reading, writing and arithmetic. And it doesn’t matter to me if we have the ten Commandments on the, on the wall or prayer in schools. And. But, but the, but the simple fact of the matter is I don’t want the, the principles that this country was founded upon under attack where we are undermining the very basis of this society.

And that’s what they’re doing in schools. I interviewed. I used to. Oh, let me tell you, I used to have a ministry called School Prayer Ministries, and we were on nationwide ministry overnight because we went in through the Bible clubs that the kids are allowed to have on campus, and we went in through the Bible clubs and we had, we did a newsletter and it was all about Christ centered values and the kid we interviewed, standout kids and all that stuff. And we got to go in and make a difference in schools. And it was, you know what? I, I got to speak in schools.

I remember going to Gardena High out here and the kids and their enthusiasm. They came out and that was almost like a guarded, like a prison going in there, what I thought. But they. And they just had this enclave of these outstanding Christian kids. And so there are ways we can do these things. There are ways that Faith Based Initiatives gets in. That was a back door. And we went in, Nate. We went nationwide overnight because all we did was mail out newsletters to all these kids. Bible clubs were. Overnight. We’re nationwide and did that for.

For some time. But. Yeah, so I’m speaking from experience. That’s where I would target. That’s where I would target, now that you mention it, because that is the domino effect. That’s what. Yeah, that’s. And our children. That’s our future. That’s our future. Yeah. The children are our future. My number one. I love it. Thank you for going with me there. Thank you for clarifying. Yeah, well, when you started saying the dominoes, I thought, well, only happen. Yeah, yeah. You. Sometimes we just need that visual. Right. Makes all the difference. All right, so let’s talk about the visual of the day I met you.

The day I met you was at the California gop, all strapping, strong man. You’re a tall guy, you and super, like, face to face. Right? Yeah. And when I met you, I saw that you had this yellow and. Oh, you got to bring that up. Okay. Yes, you got to bring that up. Yellow support. Jim, what is the tie and what did you tell me? And we did. We had that Conversation. And just briefly, it was my, it’s my way of saying I, I would, I would. With respect and with humility. I wanted to, I want to raise the conversation that we need to support Ukraine.

They’re being, they’re being, they’re being decimated. This is genocide what’s happening. This is genocide what’s happening. And we need to at least support them militarily. We need to at least let them be, equip them to be able to defend themselves. I’m not even talking about committing American lives. I’m not. But they’re willing to fight what theater of war where you know that you go to defend somebody? Do you have this, these people that, and they’re, they’re the fiercest fighters. I mean, they’re standing down this entire, this entire Russian army, this little country of Ukraine. You gotta, you gotta give them credit.

We historically have supported freedom loving democratic peoples. How do we get away from that? I don’t. I just want to say with humility because I do respect Donald Trump. I do support Donald Trump. And as I told you that day, I voted for Donald Trump. So this isn’t, I’m not coming from a place of confrontation, but that’s my heart that these, that we support these people that are facing down a genocidal maniac. What. And, and I just saw on the news, it gets worse every day, talking about child kidnapping and stuff. The Russian people, the Russian soldiers are literally kidnapping the children for reintroduction into Russian society.

It’s sinister. It’s sinister. And we’re not talking about, I’m not talking about necessarily incursions into Russia. We’re talking about enabling these people to defend themselves. And so that was what the tie was about. That’s an issue I care about. Yeah, I got that. Well, it just stood out to me. I was like, wait, is that the Ukraine flag? So let me ask you if we took a look at, I know this is kind of like off. It’s, it’s, it’s on the topic. But I’m just curious, when we look at, by the Biden administration and all the funding that went to Ukraine, have you followed where.

Okay, forget Biden. Help one another, right? It was money well spent. $350 billion to stand up to a geopolitical foe. They, they’ve, we’ve compromised their, their army has been compromised greatly. Yeah, they were, they’re so overextended in Ukraine that they, that they, one of the benefits of that, they pulled out of the Middle east altogether and Syria fell kind of talking about a domino effect. So I think it was a money well spent. I don’t want my money back. That went over there. I don’t, I don’t want to recover it from your resources and everything. This is what we do.

We’re the mighty Americans. We’re the moral Americans. We defend peoples that can’t defend them, so we defend the defenseless. We stand up and we have been. Every one of our presidents up till now has been a Cold War warrior. I was just looking at President Kennedy. He was a Democrat, but Democrats and Republicans alike in the Cuban Missile crisis and we’ve stood. Do you remember getting. Are you as. You’re as old as me? Do you remember getting. I remember the Cuban missile crisis. I’m 55. So yeah, I’m right there. Remember getting under the desks in school? I remember practicing like a fire drill.

But instead we got under the desk. Yes, lots of times. We’ve been at odds with these people for a long time. And if I might humbly say, our resistance to them is what’s caused the fall of the, of the former Soviet Union, Ronald Reagan and the Star wars initiative. And do you remember standing out there and saying, saying, Mr. Gorbachev, he was a lifelong, even as a Screen Actors Guild president, an anti communist, he brought that vibe again. Here we are. For someone for such a time as this. Yeah. You know what I’m saying? He was that man for that hour.

He was hand picked. He said after he got shot, he goes, I know God left, who kept me alive for a reason. He was handpicked for that hour. He was the guy with the lifelong impetus, the lifelong unction that stood up there and said, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall and listen, we don’t cower away from our enemies. This Vladimir Putin. I just think the best thing is to support the people of Ukraine with the means to defend themselves. I love our president. I would love to sit down with him for a few minutes on this issue, though.

Got that, Jim. Got that. Thank you for going there down this road with me. That’s a national issue. This is a statement. Yes, but, but here’s the thing. It’s. It’s important for us to have the bigger conversation. I think so because it impacts the state, it impacts our belief, our beliefs, system impacts everything we do. So we, we touched on compromise a couple times. You mentioned compromise. So let me ask you this. California’s gridlock with a Democratic super majority demands real talk on compromise. What principles are you willing to bend on to build coalitions and get results.

I tell you, my skill, My skill. And I’m a little nervous here tonight, but my, my gift is sales. You’re doing great, by the way. My gift is sales. I’m a natural born. So my dad was an award winning salesman. It runs in the family. And I love, and I love working with people and I love finding common ground. And then as a, as a, as a minister, you find that common ground. What are the areas? Because the church is a very political place too. What are the areas we agree on? Let’s come together on those.

Let’s not talk about, not highlight one doctrinal difference. As long as the fundamentals are in place, we can fellowship on those, we can come together on those. Do we believe that salvation is by Jesus Christ? Okay, well then let’s, let’s sit down and break bread together, you know? Well, it’s the same thing in politics. What do we have in common? Do we love this country? Do we want to see the best for this country? Can we set aside, can we set aside ideological differences that might influence such as. I just always see, I see both sides not willing to, not willing to compromise on things that they even agree because it’s strategic.

You can’t, you can’t go against the, the team and everything. I really would like to go, I would really like to meet everybody in our, in our legislature and, and, and I would like, I really want to have a tip o’, Neal, Ronald Reagan type relationship. I really do. I’ll endeavor to have that. I want to be friends. We’re all in this together. I got it. United. We’re all in this together. Now what red lines are you unwilling to cross? No matter the cost to protect our families, farms, freedom? Yeah, well, yeah, those, those, you just said them.

You know, I, we’re gonna be tough on crime. We’re gonna be. I’m, I’m unwilling to back off on, on being influential in, to being a catalyst towards return to, to those American values. And we know, you and I know where those come from, that the roots is in the Judeo Christian ethic. But return to that, that fundamental influence and you know, and love, Love is a powerful force. I think when they see the hatefulness, I think when the other side sees the hatefulness or our side sees the hatefulness that makes us pull away, you got to say, this is because we, we love the people of California.

This is, we’re going to make these decisions because we love the children of California. We’re going to make these decisions because we love this ethos, this ethic. We love the future of California. Everything’s got to be based in love. And, you know, you got to come from that. And I am coming from that. From that. From that perspective. Wouldn’t it be just great if. If a governorship, my governorship would just be a great love affair with the people of California. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? And then just embrace everything you say and do and. And you’re for them.

And therefore, you. You know, I want to bring that type of energy. I want to bring that type of energy. I don’t want to bring a mean spirit. You know, we. We’ve got some tough things to do, but I want to be a father to the people of. Of California. Beautiful. Beautiful. Last question of the day. What is one bold move that you get to make to make California great again? Oh, gosh, those are. Those are overarching questions. One. One bold move that I get to make. One bold move to make California great again. I want.

I. I don’t know how to answer that question, except. Except what’s in my heart. And you saw it on my video. Enthusiasm. You know, I shared that video. Yes. And you liked it, and thank you very much for that. But I shared it with a friend. Yeah. And she said two words to me. What did he say? Go, Jim. Go, Jim. That touched me deeply. We’re with you. You have. You have excited us. Yes. You have energized us. I want to bring that enthusiasm. Bring the enthusiasm. So people are excited about the future. Yeah, Jim, I got that.

So with that enthusiasm, what. What. What’s the action? What is the taking that enthusiasm? What is it that you’re going to. You’re gonna get at something. Yeah, I know. Because I’m just thinking. There’s a couple thoughts I have, and, you know, I. I want to finish strong. And one of the things I think about is that phrase, the people, the people, because this is about giving power back to we the people. So what is your call to action for the people? Well, look at my T shirt. Look at my T shirt. This is. This is from Joe Woff.

Superman, right? California. Fatter than Superman, but. Yeah, let’s do it. Let’s do it. Let’s get started. Come on. Yeah. Let’s make California livable. I love it. I love it. Safe again. Let’s make California prosperous again. Right? Yes. Yes. Jim, that’s a blueprint. That sounds like common sense. Thank you. Thank you. I’m gonna say thank you so much for being with us today. I’ve enjoyed it. And people can follow. By the way, thank you for doing this. Really supplying this, this format. Thank you. God bless you. Thank. I received that and thank you. It’s an honor.

All right now, as we close off round six of the take your California back, California Governor face off Patriots, I want to remind you that we are at war.

And this war that we’re in right now, it is fifth generation warfare. And we do have the tools. And now we’re making connections. We’re understanding that we have a role in this war, that we have the ability to take our power back on a local level, that, that we are here for such a time as this to stand in the gap. And if you’re one of those people that has been sitting off the fence or sitting on the fence, get off, that certainly hurts. You feel a whole lot better being in community and getting involved. Pick up your cross fight like Charlie.

Today we’ve heard from David Kahlenberg and his Heartland Revival and Jim Athens, his prosperity zones, Cal Doge accountability. These titans are equipped in very unique areas and have the ability to arm us to bulldoze Newsom’s nightmare. Homelessness slashed, crime crushed, kids shielded, AB495 axed, election secured, borders locked, prosperity ignited. That’s the count. California we’re charging for. Each one of the candidates we’ve brought to the table has a specific skill. We really need every single one of them, but we can only choose one. And that choice is going to be up to you. So how do we navigate through this storm with all the things that are being thrown at us from every side? Well, we do it it, we do it with the tools in place so that we are clear minded to make a wise choice.

One of those tools is a tool like General Flynn and Boone Cutler’s fifth generation warfare. Wow, that just really hit me, just mentioning that I’ve got some news to share with you guys today. That isn’t the news that I like to share, but it’s important news. The reason why you want to tap into a book like Fifth Generation Warfare, written by General Flynn and Boone Cutler, is because it provides you with the tools that you need for this kind of battle. This is not a kinetic war we’re in. It is a spiritual war. It is a psychological war.

And you want to know how to fight that war. I’ve got the link below to tap in. Just go get what you need. Go get those books, read them. Have parties with your family, your community, Bring them together, start reading the books so that we are educated in a time like this and we have the right weapons in place to truly take our California back. Now, the news that I was going to share with you Tonight, is there somebody that we love so much that is a total warrior? I’ve had him on my show a few times.

I had the privilege of interviewing him a few weeks ago at a conference in Oxnard with America’s Future. And the conference was about human trafficking. You see, Boone Cutler was the warrior. Worked closely with General Flynn, who is fighting for our children and who has been telling us, if you follow any of his social media, Luna’s been saying over and over, don’t get caught in the psychological warfare. Know the fight. Handle your emotions, take your thoughts captive. That’s what we get to do. If we’re going to join, join the fight and fight like Charlie and fight like Boone, then we need to know that this is a spiritual war.

And we also need to know it’s a psychological war. And we need to have every tool in place. God’s word. And go get your book, Fifth Generation Warfare. When I sat down with Boone a couple weeks ago, he was my last interview of a very full day. We were in a little tiny room that was so hot, and I was so excited to get a couple minutes with Boone. And when I got those couple minutes with Boone, Boone’s message was a powerful message, and you need to go listen to that message. Baboon also had a. A call to action.

And this call to action was for you. The call to action was for me. The call to action was for every single one of us to get into action. And I want to share with you that video with Boone Cutler. Now, I’m really hoping I can actually find a video with Boone Cutler right now. Here it is. Is. Okay, I’m going to play just one little segment. The. This was my final interview with Boone. Boone was laid to rest today. It was a shock when I got the call, and it was a shock when many people got the call.

I mean, we’ve gone from Charlie to Boone now. Boone had a heart attack. Tuck. Guys, we have a moment of opportunity right now. Love the people around you. Take care of your families. Heed the warning and the advice from those that have been fighting for you behind the scenes. Listen to the message from Boom. Cutler. Your team wants you to go. Here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to let you go for sure. Okay, Boone, I want to say thank you. Thank you for being in the fight. Thank you for encouraging all of us to take a stand and join the fight.

And your last final words for the action to take your power back. Community. My last final words are be aware of tech Addiction, it’s a real thing. And that tech addiction is feeding different systems that are causing you to be influenced. The worst thing you can do to your children is give them an iPad when they’re three years old so you can be on your tech. That’s like a crackhead giving their kid crack so they can do more crack. Don’t give your kid crack and get off the crack. AI is new crack. Tech addiction is the new crack.

Get away from it. Spend time in nature with your family, with people you love or people that love you and then you’re gonna be okay. At the take you power back show. We’ll see you guys.

Charlie shot down and he was barely 31 another woke coward took a life with a gun he left behind a wife and a daughter and a son all he did was try to speak for all of us and I’m so tired of the hatred and the narratives the patriots ain’t dangerous Woke people are the terrorists they shot and killed the father sent a message to Americans they ain’t gonna stop until they bury us Dear Charlie, I don’t know if you can see us now but if heaven has a window I sure hope you’re looking down Cause we ain’t going quiet we go scream your name loud and you’re gone But I swear to God that we go make you proud we ain’t backing off or giving up I’ll preach what you taught me they may have killed a soldier but they that man had an army this is far more deep than some political parties and you can’t kill freedom so this one is for Charlie this ain’t the America that all our parents love but good men tried to keep making it great pray that God will take care of us the system is failing us but good men die for the things that they say and I can’t just be quiet so I gotta be brave cause this is America lately it’s scaring but one good man can change it all in a day Killed in cold blood for having a discussion and liberals are celebrating murder like it’s justice you didn’t kill a villain or the evil that it comes with you Kill the father and a husband and I’m so tired of the left and all the wokery we can’t get along if you just kill us when we don’t agree Sniper rifle fire from a liberal that no one sees Scared I might be next to die When I’m just buying groceries trying to Charlie we’ll make sure your children know that defending all our freedom is why you aren’t coming home I hope heaven has a window you can watch your children grow and hear your message echo from below and we ain’t backing off or giving up I’ll preach what you taught me they may have killed a soldier but that man had an army this is far more deep than some political parties and you can’t kill freedom so this one is for Charlie this ain’t the America that all our parents love but good man tried to keep making it great pray that God will take care of us the system is failing us when good men die for the things that they say and I can’t just be quiet so I gotta be brave cause this is America lately it’s scaring us but one good man can change it all in a day.
