Together, let’s take your power back with our host, peak performance breakthrough coach, Kim Yater.

Good evening patriots, truth seekers, freedom fighters and my fellow Californians. Welcome to the take your power back show. I’m your host, Kim Yater. Tonight we shine a light on the promises made, the promises broken, and the power that belongs to you. We the people. This is where California rises up to reclaim our state from the grip of radical elites. Our Golden State has been bleeding crushed by Gavin Newsom’s failures, a $68 billion deficit, crime spiraling out of control. And now you saw it all last week and over the weekend into the week, riots in Los Angeles while he defies President Trump’s call for order and tells the National Guard to stand down.

This isn’t just bad leadership’s, it is betrayal. It’s a betrayal of you and me. It’s a betrayal of we the people. But we’re not done. We’re not silenced here. We expose the truth. We ignite your passion and arm you with the tools to stop the left’s agenda. Tonight we are diving into the California governor face off. Round three with Lewis Herms, David Serpa and Brandon Jones battle to prove who can lead us in making California great again. Get ready. This is your moment and it starts right now. First, we’re going to take a look headfirst into the governor face off.

In putting California governor’s Gavin Newsom under the spotlight, it’s time to talk about the sacred oath he took, the state he swore to protect, and the chaos unfolding right now in Los Angeles. A chaos that’s shaking the very foundations of our republic. When Governor Newsom stood before the people of California on January 7, 2019, he placed his hand on the Bible and swore an oath. That oath wasn’t just a formality. It was a covenant, a promise to God, to the Constitution, to every single one of you. He vowed to well and faithfully discharge the duties of his office, to uphold the Constitution of California and the United States and to serve the people with integrity.

That oath is a Sacred bond rooted in faith, grounded in law and sealed by the trust of the people. But tonight we must ask, has honored the oath or has he let California, a state of dreams, opportunity and promise, fall into the disarray? Look at Los Angeles right now. The City of Angels it was burning. Since June 2025, protest against federal immigration rate have spiraled into riots. Cars set on fire, businesses are looted and law enforcement officers are under attack. Under that’s from Boston under attack. And you know what? Literally social media posts from Californians cry out parts of LA are a war zone.

One user on X wrote newsom’s excuses are sad. No one believes them anymore. Another said he took an oath to protect legal residents, not let chaos reign. These aren’t just protests, they’re a symptom of deeper failure. Governor Newsom has condemned President Trump’s deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines, calling it authoritarianism. But what about his responsibility? Why did he take federal intervention to address a crisis that local and state authorities should have have contained? When Newsom swore to uphold the Constitution, he promised to defend the rule of law, the safety of Californians and the sovereignty of the state.

Yet as rioters clash with police, as tear gas fills the air, and as communities live in fear. Where are you, Gavin Newsom? Where is your leadership? The California Constitution demands a governor who ensures public safety and uphold justice. But instead we see finger pointing, lawsuits against the federal government and a refusal to take responsibility. This isn’t just about Los Angeles. It’s about a state where wildfires have ravaged homes, where businesses flee due to crippling regulations, and where families struggle under the weight of a cost of living crisis. It’s about a governor who some say has prioritized political ambition over the people he swore to serve as one California.

Posted on X Newsome he’s done. His career is over. He’s not enforcing the laws or preserving law and order. That’s the voice of people who feel betrayed Today. I want to share with you a clip. This clip was an awakening for an America and a reminder of Gavin Newsom’s oath. Let’s play that clip of allegiance, a sworn declaration recited by those seeking U. S Citizenship. It is the final step in becoming and American. Every new citizen says these words I hereby declare on oath and I absolutely and entirely renounce all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, state or sovereignty and that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America.

One oath, one country, no divided loyalties. But the governor of California he must take an oath to. Not just to Sacramento, but to Washington. Not just to the state, but to the nation. He swears to support and defend both the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of California. To bear true faith and allegiance. To faithfully discharge the duties of his office. This isn’t a formality. It’s a promise to the American people, to citizens. Not to foreign powers, not to political agendas. So when a governor turns his back on that oath, when he prioritizes flag waving protesters over law abiding citizens, when he refuses to cooperate with federal law, the question isn’t political, it’s constitutional.

Let’s remind him of what he swore. Do solemnly swear. They swear. That I will support and defend. That I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of California. And the Constitution of the state of California. Against all enemies. Against all enemies. Foreign and domestic. Foreign and domestic. That I will bear true, true faith and allegiance. That I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States. To the Constitution of the United States. And the Constitution of the state of California.

The Constitution of the state of California. That I take this obligation freely. That I take this obligation freely. Without any mental reservation. Without any mental reservation. Or purpose of evasion. Or purpose of evasion. And that I will well and. And faithfully discharged. That are well and faithfully discharged. The duties upon which I am about to enter. The duties upon which I’m about to enter. Congratulations. Thank you. You know, I don’t give a damn, but I care about my community. I care about this community. The hell are they doing? These guys need to grow up. They need to stop.

And we need to push back. And I’m sorry to be so clear. Get your hands off. These poor people are just trying to get live their lives, man. Trying to live their life. These poor people, they’re just trying to live their lives. Don’t we wish that were the truth? But here’s the truth, my friends. The power is not in Sacramento. It’s not in Washington. It’s in you. That’s right. This is about giving power back to you. We the people. The oath of office isn’t just for governors. It’s a reminder that we are the stewards of our nation.

Our constitution begins with we the people. Because you are the heartbeat of America. You are the ones who hold leaders accountable, who demand justice, who rebuild when others let things fall apart. And when you take your power back, you, honor the same God. The same God. Who insists inspired our founding fathers, the same Constitution that protects our freedoms and the same spirit that makes America unbreakable. Tonight, we’re not just facing off against one governor, one governor candidate. We’re facing off against complacency, corruption and absolute chaos. We’re here to remind Governor Newsom and every elected official across this state and the entire country that an oath to God, the Constitution and we the people is non negotiable.

It is time to stand up, to speak up and take our California back. California deserves better. America deserves better. And together we will make it happen. So buckle up patriots. Let’s dive into the California Governor face off and hold the powerful to account. This is your take your power back time and the power is yours. With that being said, our first up today is Lewis Herms. I’m going to give you a little bit of background about Lewis Herms and then we’re going to share his campaign video and then we’re going to bring him in for a powerful round of questions and conversation.

Lewis Herms is the driving force behind transformative initiatives such as Screw Big Gov, Freedom in Action, the Truth Tour, Remember your oath, the Unity Tour and the thought provoking platform Screw Big Gov news views and conspiracies. He’s on video during the so called insurrection, steering protesters away from entering the capital with the help of popular J Sixer the QAnon Shaman Jacob. He’s been harassed and stuck by the FBI and even lost $2.5 million business because he chose to fight for our freedom. His influence extends far beyond mere titles. Lewis is a catalyst for change, a beacon of hope in times of turmoil.

Renowned for his straight talking style and calm demeanor, Lewis leads the charge against the globalist agenda. Screw Big Gov is not just a moment. It’s a rallying cry for patriots everywhere. A symbol of resistance against tyranny. Lewis’s groundbreaking film 2020 Vision ignited a firestorm of awakening, shattering illusions and encouraging viewers to question the status quo. His follow up, viral sensation Watch the Water exposed the health risks associated with the deuterium and water, sending shockwaves worldwide. His latest documentary, Cages is more than a film. It’s a call to action. Exposing the harrowing reality of human trafficking and shedding a light on the resilience of the human spirit.

Freedom in Action serves as a digital fortress agenda. Censorship, preserving banned content and empowering patriots globally. With truth posts. Lewis delivers powerful warnings against COVID 19 elections, vaccines, human trafficking, money and guiding countless individuals towards the truth. Today you get to experience Lewis. You get to experience Lewis Herms at his best. And before we bring him into the room, we’re going to share with you his campaign video. It. All right, stand by one second. Let’s figure out what’s going on. Lewis, we might need just need to bring you into the room. Stand by one second. We’re going to stop that share, Lewis.

That’s the sense that it needs to come from your mouth. Lewis Herms, welcome to the take your power back show. Let’s face Off. My brother. Hey, nice to see you here. I can definitely, it can come from my mouth. That’s fine. This happens often, by the way. But it’s just purely coincidence. We are getting reports from several rumble channels that they’re all freezing up too. So. Interesting. Yep. So we’ll work through it like we always work through it. But I’m excited to be here and I’m so happy that you’re hosting something. I think that’s going to be very, very dynamic for people to really see what’s going on in California.

And I, I like your two other candidates that you have on here, too. So I appreciate it. So good powerhouse. I’ll tell you what. Round one powerhouse. Round two powerhouse. Round three powerhouse. And this is going to be one tough choice for Californians. But Louis, let me ask you this. You, all of you were in the back room. So every single one of you are listening in to the interviews today. What are your words to Gavin Newsom after seeing him take the oath of and what is your commitment to the oath of office? Well, to Gavin Newsom, enjoy prison because that’s what your future looks like.

This, this guy is treasonous as treasonous can, can come. And this is the one thing I, I think a lot of times they’re probably why I’m called the anti politician is. We just don’t call it like it is sometimes. You know, the reality is this guy is, is treasonous. Probably probably paid off. He’s definitely working for somebody else he’s not working for, for California. So bye bye to Gavin Newsome and hello to the new California. The, the one that 50 years ago people would plan for a decade to move here, where now we’re the laughing stock around the dinner table nationwide.

Right. That’s not going to happen anymore. And I think there is a new day, a new day coming. I’m hoping I’m the guy. If I’m not, though, I still believe there’s a great, great, great opportunity for us to take California back and bring it, bring it back to we the people and ultimately Gavin Newsom clearly didn’t understand what we the people means. We the people, that’s important. So tell me, your public profile is relatively new. Can you share your professional and political experience prior to Screw Big Gov, including any roles or affiliations that shaped your current anti government government stance? Sure, sure.

Well, I’m, I’m very, very happy to say I have no political affiliations in the past whatsoever. And I don’t believe that this should be a political situation. I believe politics is what brought us here. But my background is as, as follows. You know, normal kid, kind of. Well, I don’t know if normal. I was a latchkey kid, to be honest with you, and I was probably from 6 to 11. I got the crap beat out of me every single day until somebody told me to fight back. And then since then, all through junior high and part of high school, they nicknamed me the bully buster because I would go after bullies because I had a huge issue with that.

That’s the same motivation that I have today running my campaign and creating screwbiggov.com and so on and so forth is we are being bullied by parasites that are running at the highest level. They’re controlling everything. I actually frankly believe the division that we see isn’t always true. And I know people are going to be shocked by this because we have, we have a couple Republican candidates running right here that are here today. But guess what guys, if we really can have a sit down conversation with the Democrats, not the leadership, those are parasites. Those are, those are ones trying to control the narrative.

They’re brainwashing their constituents. I bet you we’re going to find that we’re probably more 80 to 90% aligned on many issues. But what, what do both parties do? They constantly focus on the divisive issues. Well, I’m not here for divisive. I’m a staunch conservative. I’m going to be a conservative, but I need to, I need to know the way everybody thinks and what we the people really want. They don’t want what we’re being told they want. And I know that for a fact because the elections are stolen in California. Another subject people don’t want to address, they want to run from.

Okay, so we’re going to come to elections in just a second. But you just said you’re a staunch conservative. So which party do you most align yourself with and why? Well, I align myself with the principles that are written down of the Republican Party. But the corrupt GOP in California, as I believe it is, is not about those Principles, they’re about control and manipulating the, the elections. And I actually believe you end up getting two deep state actors against each other at the same time. So is, is as soon as the primary is over, the deep states already run the election because it doesn’t really matter what side you vote on, you’re generally voting for a bad guy.

So the reality is we need to call it like it is. The GOP is not our friend in California. If, if they were, they, they would want voices like me and other conservatives. What they need is, and I know this firsthand with some other candidates, I’m not going to call them out, but they have a huge bank account and that’s one of the accesses that you need in order for the GOP even, even to support you. And then they have what I call a quid pro quo. So I’ve, I’m always, in California especially, I’m always concerned that the GOP supports somebody because I believe they’re part of the parasitical complex that we have that’s just trying to keep us controlled.

I think we the people need to decide this election. So the reason why I did not affiliate myself with Republican directly, not because I don’t believe their principles, because I do. I’m very concerned about the deep state actors with inside the party. And I have a feeling a lot of them are going to come over to my side and have a conversation with me. So that’s again why I’m the anti political guy. I’m not going to play the politics. I got that, I got that. Now you just made a comment a moment ago that we the people need to side.

So what are your thoughts on election fraud in California? Well, it’s rampant. We did polls while Gavin Newsom was being recalled and it was 100% of the people we talked to, 100% Democrat, Republican, independent, said, get this guy out of here, get this guy out of here. I, I went into an office and I was, I happened to be talking, this is a public office. I happened to be talking about the fact I’m running for governor. Four people that I would have perceived as liberal. If I’m, if I’m going to generalize, you know, there was a woman that appeared to be a lesbian woman.

The way she was dressed and the things that she had on which good for her, that’s her deal. And there’s three other people. They were clearly in that genre, which is, that’s fine, that’s, that’s their politics or that’s where they come from. All four of them couldn’t wait to get this guy out of here, all four of them. So that alone should tell you there’s election fraud. And then my friend Doug Frank, which I just absolutely adore. Dr. Doug Frank, love. Dr. Douglas G. Frank. Yes. He showed me. He showed me the statistics. He’s. He’s proven it.

You can talk to Mark Cook, who is an amazing election reform advocate. Yes, he showed me. These people I talked to, they know what they’re talking about. Right. Judges won’t allow us to see it, but we’re going to be exposing it on, on the way to the governor’s mansion because it is absolutely election fraud. And if somebody’s not willing to call it out, they’re playing the political game, which I just won’t have it. Come on. Your Scuba Gov platform suggest a deep distrust of centralized authority. So can you define the specifics government functions you believe California should entirely eliminate and how would you ensure essential services like public safety remain intact without them? Yeah.

So it’s screw biggov and the key word is big. I don’t have a problem with government as long as government is formed for the people, by the people, and, and they are in service of we the people. They’re not, though they haven’t been for decades. Several. Several decades. So in I. The first thing I’m going to do, I’m just going to be frank. I’m going to doge California. I’m going to. I’m going to. We got to get in there and find out if you think the United States as a whole as an overspending problem, wait till you dig into California.

Right. The reason why people can’t afford anything and everything is through the roof is because the government is completely feckless. Feckless. But I don’t even think it’s feckless, Kim. I think it’s intentional. I think they intentionally hide money, steal money and spend money where wherever their lobbyists want them to spend it and wherever their kickbacks can come. I believe that the constituents of California, many of them are going to be excited what I’m doing. The legislature is going to be in fear of what I’m going to do because we are going to go through every single expense and if it’s not justified, it’s gone.

Now with that, it will expose all the other offices. I really, truly believe that this government can be run efficiently, effectively and more powerful, believe it or not, on 20% of the spending that we have today. Okay, to piggyback off of that question. So the Budget deficit is projected at $68 billion for 20, 25, 26. So how would you prioritize SPE spending cuts? And would you consider raising taxes to address the shortfall, even temporarily or is that completely off the table? Yeah, raising taxes. Why would we penalize the people for a government that has been fraudulently implanted? Let’s just say that I don’t, I don’t understand why anybody would penalize the people for something like that.

So in order to that, believe it or not, that deficit is less important than removing, removing the expenditures. We have to remove the expenditures and then we can take a percentage of that that is now removed and then we can apply that towards, towards taking care of the budget deficit and any debt that we may have. It’s going to be. It’s a deep dark hole, but it can be overcome. It absolutely can be overcome. And I’m just going to throw it out there. I’m not even opposed to California have some form of a tariff system or, or a travel tax that affects people that are traveling in to the state.

So the people of the state are not affected. They shouldn’t be affected. People are. Would love to come here. Right. So maybe that’s another way we can help. So I’m going to dive deep into it. But taxing Californians, there’s no way it’s off the table. In fact, if anything, I’m working on a plan right now that may eliminate state and property tax, but that’s going to be a long deep dive to make sure that we can do it. But it’s something that we’re looking at really heavy. Okay. So let’s actually transition into homelessness. So homelessness is a major issue in California.

We’ve heard it over and over. Oh my gosh, just the images across the web of homelessness. Right. Do you support forced institutionalization or relocation of the homeless? And if not, what’s your alternative to clear encampments while addressing root causes? Well, the first thing I would think in regards to homelessness is we have to have an evaluation program. So we would actually mandatorily evaluate anybody that’s homeless. And then we have to figure out is this, is this drug related, alcohol related? Is it because they’re just impoverished? Are they, are they disabled? Like are disabled vets any immediately we need to give them housing.

Are there some mental challenges? The first steps are always evaluation. I think we jump into these solutions without evaluating the individuals themselves. So if we have a blanket policy that’s unfair to we the people. So what we would, the first thing we do is we do an evaluation program and then if necessary, I will absolutely expand mental health facilities because what I would like to do is an opportunity help them get better, help them rehab if they need to rehab and then put them on job programs where they can be rehabilitated into the job market also including job training.

And I think it, it with everything else that we’re doing within California, I believe the influx of the economy is going to be so great that there will definitely be jobs available and they may be basic entry jobs. So then we’re going to have to work on housing and rent and so on and so forth, which all comes together with a good economy. Now would you prioritize working with the Democrats, Democratic nominated legislature to pass incremental conservative reforms or would you use executive powers aggressively to bypass them? So give me an example of a policy that you push away.

I’ll do both. So I, I would use executive powers when, when the legislature ignores real issues which, which they will. Many of them will. We’ve got a 75 super majority in California of Democrats. That’s scary. Although when it’s proven that many were elected illegally, I believe you’re going to have a reset in California that’s going to get people very, very excited. So let’s talk about a little bit of a controversial topic. Have you ever taken a stance publicly or privately that might conflict with conservative values such as issues like abortion, gun rights or immigration? And how would you address concerns from voters on those stances? Those three.

I’ve always been conservative, so that’s not an issue. I have publicly said that I want people to look at the LGB community a little differently. So to give you an example, in regards to the LGB community, they were absolutely demonized in the 70s and 80s. I even have in when I used to work in Pomona, I would hear people talk about we’re going to go over to a gay club with baseball bats and we’re going to go do things to them, them. And this was consistent with me. And the cops would show up and handle things and so on and so forth.

So it was an issue of discrimination back then. Therefore Harvey Milk and some others got together and they said let’s, let’s create an LGB flag. Okay, what happened? And that was supposed to be a beautiful thing. Just hey, we’re just, it’s in support guys. We understand you have your rights. I mean I may not believe in, in being a homosexual, not my thing. But you know what? You have the right to do whatever you want. Don’t push it on the miners, though. That’s a huge no no for me. But you’re an adult. Do what you want.

But what people don’t understand is then what came in, which almost always comes in, is the deep state come in. And they actually, they co opted the message and added the T, then the A, then the, then the Q and then the I and then in the plus to it, because they made it a Marxist movement, which is, is part of the color revolution. So something that was originally. Okay. Conservatives may say, oh my God, he’s okay with gay people. Well, yeah, I am. It doesn’t. Doesn’t bug me in the least. But that’s your, that’s your thing in your bedroom.

You do what you want to do. But the reality is it’s become Marcus Agenda now. It’s a radical LGBTQI plus a trans for kids. Are you kidding me? Right? Right. No, it’s just absolutely ridiculous. Well, let’s, let’s now talk about kids. Let’s talk about education. Education in the state of California. You know, Louis, what will you do once in the position of governor with education? Will you keep it the same? Will you shift it? Will you implement certain things? Will you take out certain things? No. I think it’s a great, great question. And this has been a passion of mine forever.

And ironically, I, I set down a goal. I think it was about 22002 ish, maybe. And it was. I had a goal to revamp the education system in California. I don’t know why. This is where I ended up today. So it’s, it’s on the forefront of my mind. So just to go over. So first thing, you have to completely eliminate DEI and then hold accountable those that are trying to push dei. That is not merit based. And we only need merit based. You have to. It’s not education, it’s indoctrination currently. So we need to stop the indoctrination throughout all our schools.

Right. But then we can create incentives for teachers in schools that get the best, not just applicable grades, but how about that? They also get the best parent reviews. Right. Because that matters. It should be about parenting, because I don’t know about you, but I don’t see the word parent in government, teacher, or school. So why are they parenting our kids? Parents need to parent their children. That’s right. So good. I’m also going to deeply investigate the California Lottery. I remember when the California Lottery was installed, and this was about, about 42 years ago. If my memory grabs Me correctly.

And it was 100% supposed to be money for school schools. So what they’ve done is they’ve, they’ve constantly eliminated the budgets because they had that money and now they start carving money from the lotto also. It’s disgusting. It’s, it’s, it’s always, it’s never been for the schools they pretend it is. This is what the deep state parasites do. Right. So I’d like to give more funding to the parents that want to homeschool. If they want to find an alternative that works, that’s great. Now this is where I’m going to diverge from many, many people. I believe we should have a huge focus on motivating children to be the best that they can be.

Why don’t we teach them skills that build confidence, problem solving skills, help them know what common sense is so they can make common sense solutions and personal development so they enter the world with confidence and without anxiety. So that would be a complete diversion from the Rockefeller system that we’re in right now. Yes, it would. Yes, it would. So some conservative activists face, they face accusations, Louis, of grifting or self promotion. How do you fund your campaign and platform? And can you assure voters that your movement isn’t driven by personal financial gain? Yeah, I think one of the reasons it comes that is because the way the political laws are written, after a candidate runs, they can virtually keep whatever money they don’t spend.

Right. Now I understand that maybe for legal reasons you want to keep some type of fund for yourself to protect you in case there’s lawsuits that, that were generated, so on and so forth, but I don’t get why you would keep the money. If we, we. So we, we’re probably going to have to change some laws to prevent, to prevent that from happening. If that’s the motivation of people, shame on them. Right. My motivation is and always will be we the people. That’s it. That’s all I care about. This is the reason why I get a lot of hate, the reason why I’m the number one target on the Southern, from the Southern Poverty Law center.

They have a 500 million dollar budget in California. I’m, I’m their number one target. That’s not because I’m awesome. That’s because I say it like it is. And I don’t pander to the elite. Right. And I absolutely will run my campaign financially the same way I would run the governorship. And that is to make sure that the money is spent. Very good. I used to be in marketing And I can tell you the many, many people use a gunshot approach to marketing. Well, if you do that in a campaign, I don’t think you’re using the we the People’s money wisely.

I think that’s unfair. Fair to them. Right. I don’t need to be flying away on personal jets. I’ll probably have to have security. Yes. But I’m going to be traveling grassroots like nobody else would be. Most likely in my own car or a cheap ass rv. Not one of the exceptions. That’s just the way it’s going to be because I respect we the people and I honor their contributions. So let me ask you, why do you feel you are more qualified than other candidates to take the role of governor of California? Yeah, I think the definition of qualification is what matters, what qualifies you.

If you’re in politics and in my, in my realm, you’re pretty much disqualified. Because that’s what’s got us here, is being politicians. Don’t be a politician. And I don’t fault any Republicans that ran before, especially if they’re we the people guys. That’s great. I don’t have any issue with that. But politicians in general have been the issue because I’ve even had advisors already suggest, okay, here’s the way you want to run your campaign list. You want to listen to what the people are, are, are saying and kind of manipulate your message towards that, even if you don’t believe in it.

I go, no, sorry, you’re out. That’s, that’s not part of the way I do business. I’m going to be extraordinarily authentic. So my value set, I think, matters. I’ve taught my kids from the beginning. L double L W. I live life with integrity. I think the fact that I have integrity and I’ve been working for we the People for several years without making any money, without being paid with being poisoned, having people come after me. I think that’s proof enough that I’m willing to do the job for we the people. Now, what skill set do I have? I’ve been in several companies and corporations and own my own business.

And I was considered a troubleshooter. In fact, at a young age they used to call me MacGyver because I would, I would, there would be an issue and I would be the one to come in with the solution. Everything. Solution based, not panic. Based, not panic. It’s solution, solution, solution. So just the principles of that and my background and my successes, where I was in one very large company and I would take Health clubs from the bottom to the top. Within three to six months, they move me to another one and another one and another one.

Out of 600 clubs, I had the number one health club in the whole entire world in 2005 because I troubleshooted the issues. It’s going to be the exact same thing for California. I will troubleshoot the issues. And guess what? Sorry to say, guys, I’m not the smartest guy in the room. Nope. But I will find the smartest people in the room to surround myself with and I will pay attention. Excellent. Excellent, Excellent. If elected, what measurable outcomes would you commit to achieving in your first year to prove you’re delivering on your promise to take California back? And how should voters hold you accountable if you fall short? Well, when I’m elected, they will definitely see that I’m going to go after the parasites that are control in every aspect and they’re going to be held accountable.

At minimum, they’re going to be exposed. And hopefully we, the people in our judicial system will hold them accountable. Right. Unfortunately, a lot of the parasites include judges in California. You. I’m going to make sure that our voter rolls are taken care of. One of the big deals I’m going to do is I’m going to do my best to, if it hasn’t been done by 2026, to eliminate the voter rolls and restart them from scratch. It’s hard to fix something that’s so broken the way it’s broken right now. That’s going to be huge. I’m a, I’m a first, first time ballot guy.

You vote on, you vote one day. Paper, paper ballots. And we count in one day. Do everything in my power to make sure that happens and I’d like to see one thing added that nobody talks about. I would recommend putting a serial number on the ballot just like you have on your dollar bill. Why is that? Can’t be duplicated. That ballot equals one person, a specific person at a specific address. So now you can harvest as many ballots as you want. Guess what? It won’t work because it’ll flag the serial number immediately. So in order for them to steal, they would have to steal every individual ballot and get it signed off.

So I think that would help a lot too. In my biggest issue though, by far, hands down, is the one that nobody talks about. It’s child and human trafficking. That’s a big one. And I’m very frustrated that people don’t talk about this. And I think they don’t talk about it for the following reasons. I believe I can prove that it’s the number one industry financially in California. Number one. People say, oh, that’s crazy, Louis. I said, okay, let me break it down. So you, you’re, you could probably say your three top industries may be, it’s agriculture, maybe, maybe oil and health.

There may be some others that get in, in there. So they run on a 10 to 15% profit margin. So even though you would look and it would say that the human trafficking industry may be 9th, 10th, or 11th, when you take in their profit margin of 90% and you include that, even the experts say we probably only are tracking 5% of the human trafficking revenue. That makes it by far and away the most profitable financial industry in all of California, above tech, above banking, above everything. So if I’m correct, and I know I am, why are people not talking about this? Why is it completely ignored? Well, it’s completely ignored because the parasite controllers know this.

And guess what? For them, it’s untaxable and untraceable. So I’m going to hammer that, like, ever. I’m going to create a task force. And within that task force, it’s going to hold accountable every local and police and local government accountable. And we’re going to have oversight. So if they’re not doing their job and we’re getting, we’re getting reports, we’ll have a website that they can report human trafficking directly to it. If we see that some counties or some districts seem to be ignoring this, we’ll drop the hammer because we are not having it anymore. This is not God’s work.

God does not believe in human trafficking and child trafficking. These are the parasitic controllers, and it’s going to be done. And if, if I fail at that, kick my ass out. Because that is my number one issue. That’s an intense subject, human trafficking. And that’s one subject that needs to come to the table. Like number one, I believe, on all campaigns right now. So when you peel back the layers there you find the children and how many elected officials are paid off? Some personal commentary. Louis, let me ask you this. What are you willing to compromise and what are you unwilling to compromise as governor? Okay, let me just go back on one thing real quick.

So I mentioned three pillars of my campaign. Getting rid of the parasitical, the control operatives, which, which would be the government officials and judges and so on and so forth that are acting corrupt. So getting rid of the corruption, attacking the human trafficking and election fraud. You know what all three of those have in common? Not one of them are in the top 10 when it comes to polling the California people of what they want to change. And I think that is because it’s been hidden, and it’s been hidden for a reason. So your question, again, I apologize.

No worries. So tell me. I’m glad that you shared that. So what are you willing to compromise as governor, and what are you unwilling to compromise? Well, currently, I’m not going to compromise on anything. I don’t see a need to. These are common sense principles. These are. These are in your face. This is exactly what you need to do. I’m a great negotiator, but if there’s some things you just don’t know. Negotiate on. I’m not going to negotiate on whether children should be raped or not. The. No, sorry pedophiles. You’re going to. You’re going to jail.

I may even see what I can do to get stricter sentences, possibly even the death penalty. And I know that sounds crazy, but we need to get rid of that. So I will not compromise on. On the elections. I may. Well, I may back off on the. On the. The serial number that I proposed, only because I don’t think people are quite understanding that yet. But I want to be the education candidate where I’m trying to give as much information for people to learn of what’s really been hidden from them. So hopefully I’ll be successful at that, too.

So currently, Kim, I gotta be honest, I’m unwilling to compromise because I put a lot of thought into this, and I’m not going to compromise our values, I’ll tell you that. I got that. And Louis, this was a question. The next question I’m going to ask you that a couple of the other candidates had wanted to be asked. And the question is, if your numbers, as you move forward in this race aren’t at where they. You expect them to be, are you willing to step aside and partner with the others that are leading, Partner in some way in their campaign, help them reach their goal? If they’re a we the people candidate, and I feel they’re authentic and honest, I absolutely would consider that.

That. Because the last thing I need is for Kamala Harris to be taking California. Well said. Well said. All right, Lewis, Service. Is there anything else before we close out today that I didn’t ask? Anything that you feel right now that the people need to know and a call to action for California? Well, I. I do want to bring to attention the corrupt health care system that we have. That’s an important one. And the fact that we Completely abandoned our seniors. Right. So we’ll tackle the healthcare first. The healthcare system is now in a situation where allopathic medicine unfortunately has zero to do with cures, it seems, and all about addressing symptoms.

Well, when we address symptoms with the drug that is created synthetically, it gives us side effects. When we get side effects, they have to do what? Give us more drugs. So it’s a perpetual wheel that keeps falling and falling on top of us, and therefore we take more and more drugs and get sicker. I would like to see. And I’m gonna Maha California and if I have a lot of support from Maha people, I’m gonna Maha California like maybe even more than RFK Jr. Is going to do it. But I’m going to be consulting with this team in regards to this.

But we are going to take it. Take it to him. The reality is, if we don’t have good food and proper health, they’re keeping us sick. If we’re sick, we’re not operating at our highest ability to discern and therefore we are just living as robots. We are not going to do that. We need to be our best self. I would ask a question to people, just curious. Why do we ex. Why do we incentivize farmers that use GMO and pesticides, knowing that that’s poison that ends up going into our food? Why would we do that? Why wouldn’t we incentivize farmers that are willing to rotate their crops and remineralize our soil? Let’s incentivize those that are willing to go organic and those that are willing to bring the best quality food to your table.

That’s what I think we should do. So I believe in the Maha movement for sure. Make America healthy again. That’s right. Very passionate about this. And I just want to leave with this, guys. Our seniors used to be the wise ones that we would do everything for. Our seniors used to be the ones that we would go to to get information from and sit down with them. They’ve been virtually abandoned post Covid. Yes. And it is sick. And the prices that it costs to house a senior is disgusting. And I’m going to be truthful right now, I don’t have the solution currently, but I will be working on it diligently to come up with the solutions for this.

Those guys, we need to bring our. Our seniors back into the fold. They brought us here on earth. Why would you abandon them right now? And they need us the most. So. Yeah. That’s a big deal for me also. Yeah. And Louis, I’M going to share some, some breaking news right now. Israel just struck. Israel was just struck by Iran. So again, Israel was just struck by Iran. I don’t want everyone running off. I want everyone to stay here listening right now because there will always be squirrels. There will always be something that’s going to distract you from taking your California back.

Taking our California back. So I want to just touch on. I’ve got a text coming in like crazy. Pray, pray right now. So let’s, let’s take talk about the spiritual battle that we’re in before we close up. Louis, we would you tell me, do you believe that this battle we’re in is just a kinetic, physical battle, or are we in a spiritual battle? No, actually, I think it’s more spiritual than kinetic. I see the ramifications we see are public or kinetic, but it’s spiritual. Spiritual can be. In fact, I believe what’s going on in regards to the riots is good versus evil.

And I’m not just talking about the rioters. I’m talking about the agitators and the ones that are paying them. George Soros and the Soros clan. Yes. I can tell you that I believe the heads of many states are very corrupt. And how are they going to prevent President Trump from doing what he wants to do? They’re going to try to draw us into World War Three, and I believe that’s what you’re seeing in the Middle east right now. If they, if the deep state actors, and if you don’t think they’re involved in the heads of state, you better double check.

They are going to try to draw us into World War iii because that’s the distraction. And when they can get us into World War iii, then they can take back their government because they’ll keep, they’ll keep President Trump’s hands tied for three years. It’s not going to happen. President Trump’s way too smart for that. I put my trust in him. He’s going to handle this as a leader. He is. Come on. Come on. Lewis Herms. Lewis herms. Screw big gov.com, louis. They can find all of your information and they can also also find your film Cages.

That is definitely a film that I would highly recommend everyone sees. And, Louis, I want to thank you for being with us today. An honor to have you here. And I want to give you a personal invite, Louis, to our November 8th take your power back California governor candidate showdown. Would you join us at that showdown? Yes, let’s be there. That’d be fantastic. With that being said, Lewis Herms, I will be talking to you very soon. Thank you so much and our prayers are with you on this journey in the race to governor and we’ll talk to you very, very soon.

Thank you Kim and good luck to the other candidates here. Ah, thank you Louis. That is Lewis Herms. Screw Big Gov. Wow guys, an absolute incredible lineup today. And before we bring in David Serpa, I want to share a little bit of a spot sponsor. Thank you. Right now it really is because of our sponsors that this show is possible. And one of the sponsors I’d love to share with you guys right now and a big thank you to this sponsor is Patriots Buying American. That’s Patriots Buying American. Now what does that look like? You know as well as I that we’re in the midst of economic warfare where we spend our money, we vote.

Right. You may have heard me say when we said no to Target and when we said no to Budweiser, what happened? It shifted the playing field. We stopped spending our money there and they changed what they were doing. It’s the same thing. It’s now time for us to take our power back from Procter and Gamble, Colgate and Palmolive, Johnson and Johnson Unilever, the big box retailers. Now I know some of you are saying well why? What’s wrong with the big box retailers? Well in most cases the ingredients that are in those products made by the big box retailers have parabens, alcohols, sulfates, triclosan, quaternary disinfectants.

These are heavy metals, these are poisons entering into your skin within 26 seconds of use leading to dis ease of the body. So why on, why on earth would you want to do that? And if you look at the cycle, you get them sick and you feed them into the pharmaceutical industry. Now mind you, there’s a place for the pharmaceutical industry but we the people get to take our power back. I want to encourage you today to make the switch to America’s best brand, USA Today. Just recognize them as the best brand in USA. American made, debt free, privately held, been around for 40 years.

They make products, over 450 of them. The the best of science and nature. And I gotta tell you it’s not apples to apples. People tap in across the country and across the world in 20 countries and in 2 million homes in USA. Go check it out for yourself. Go to patriots buying american.com. that’s patriots buying american.com. it’s up to you, we the people to take our God given power back. That’s patriots buying american.com all right, my freedom loving patriots, without further ado, you are in for a very special treat. We just finished off with Lewis Herms on the Take your cat, take your power back, California Governor face off, round three.

Now we’ve got David Serpa about to enter the room. A little bit about David Serpa. You may recognize that name. David is a Marine Corps combat veteran, entrepreneur, author and community advocate based in California. His journey began with a love of storytelling, writing and directing plays and even a feature film in his early years. A lifelong admiral of Shakespeare, I like to say Shakespeare, David’s creative spirit has always driven his work, both personally and professionally. David joined the Screen actors guild in 2007, inspired by his sister, a fellow combat veteran, David established, enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served as a machine gunner in the Helmand River Valley of Afghanistan.

In 2012, after his military service, David transitioned into real estate, quickly building a six figure business. In his first year, he founded a high performing team, 100% of whom would go on to become a a six figure earner and later become the co owner of a real estate brokerage and escrow company. David also launched Our Community, a real estate office and community hub that hosted events like Military Mondays, Women Empowerment Wednesdays and Senior Sundays and also served as a space for Spanish language, church services, stand up comedy and a live hip hop performances. In addition to his professional and community work, David is a passionate musician.

He played guitar and fronted the band Prometheus and Mama Fancy with the Boot Band, performing at iconic venues like the Whiskey. The Whiskey, I think that’s called the Whiskey Whiskey A Go Go and various festivals in support of veteran causes and organizations. David’s dedication has been recognized by assembly woman Melissa Melendez, Operation Silver Star in the Los Angeles Dodgers for his service to veterans and community. He is the author of five books covering business, autism, politics, including Common Sense for California. Outside of work, David enjoys reading, camping, basketball, chats and making sense and making music with his very own family.

And with that being said, let’s take a moment to share David’s campaign video. We’re gonna pull that up right now. And David, here we go. Come on. Hey Kim. Hey everybody. I’m very excited about tonight’s debate. We’re going to be focusing on safety of Californians, the development of California and the fact that we should be paying dividends to Californians, not soaking you for more taxpayer dollars. In Alaska they don’t have income tax and they pay oil dividends to Alaskans. In Saudi Arabia, they pay oil dividends A lot of native tribes throughout the state of California pay dividends.

When you run a business, business, like a business, you not only cut the deficit, you get to a surplus and then you cut dividend checks. California is a big, beautiful state. We’ve got 48 million public acres that we could be developing, just 300, 000 of them to create five new cities and, and make California housing meet current needs. Not through the surplus of ghettos and high density housing, but with an abundance of single family residences. You know, we should focus on safety in our cities like Los Angeles so that you don’t have to check X or check your traffic reports because your local freeway might be shut down by protesters.

And then of course, you know, we need to get involved in taking our power back. If you watch this debate and then you just go back to business as usual, usual, we lose. We have to understand that there is an establishment that continues to pick our candidates for us. There is establishment in the political party, but there’s also establishment media that continues to pick our political candidates for us. So we have to get involved from the ground up to create an organization that can support great candidates up and down the ballot in the state of California.

Because this is the, the time that we take our power back. We take California back. We do what Texas did in 1994 when they flipped an entire state from blue to red in one election cycle by President Bush and Carl Rove focusing on the executive branch in 25 Senate. All right, guys, so listen, for whatever reason, we are hard lined in. As an FYI, we’re hard lined in, but it tells me that we got to bring David Serber into the house. David, welcome to the take your power back show and California governor face off. It’s really good to see you, Kim.

I appreciate you having me and I really enjoyed your introduction. I appreciate how in depth it was. I do have two things to bring up with you about your introduction for the show, though. Oh, tell me. So you, you called them radical elites. I don’t think they’re elites. You know, what are they elite at? You know, hoarding wealth, hoarding resources. They’re no better than us. They’re no smarter than us. They don’t work harder than us. They’re parasites on a system that has outgrown its host. And so I think if we look at the elites and we call them what Steve Bannon calls them, we call them what Bernie Sanders called them, we call them oligarchs because that’s what they are.

And we treat oligarchs differently throughout history than we treat elites. And then the second thing that I wanted to bring up with you was you said that Newsom’s failures, and I agree with you. But not only has Newsom failed us, his lieutenant governor, who’s now running for governor, has failed us. And that’s. She’s acting like it wasn’t her that’s been running the state into the ground for the last eight years. The Secretary of State, Shirley Weber, has failed us. The Department of Education, Tony Thurman has failed us. Our treasurer, Fiona Ma, has failed us. Our controller, Malia Cohen, has failed us.

And so we need to judge them throughout every state, in the executive branch, in the Senate, and in the Assembly. And then we also need to understand one final thing, and that’s that the Republican Party has failed us. Wow. Well said. Well said. David. David, I want you to give me the lowdown. You’re running for governor. We know that. Why? Just don’t give me the pat answer. I want to know, why are you running for governor? Oh, goodness. Kim, you and I had this conversation, and it’s a. It’s a long answer, and I’ll do my best to give it you the short version.

The difficult thing for me is, is there’s a lot of different reasons. You know, I loaded up my children in an rv, I drove all over the state, and I saw a worse state for them than the one that I inherited. And they were asking me things when we pulled off in the rv and we saw homeless people under every bridge in the state of California, like, dad, how come we can’t feed them? Dad, how come we can’t house them? How come we can’t take care of them? And there’s a certain amount of shame, as Steve Hilton has said, that we.

That belongs to us if we’re not able to pass down a better state for our children. Now, I don’t do anything unless I feel called to do it. And this is where I sound like a little bit of a maniac. I sound like a little bit of a, you know, bipolar or whatnot, which I am. You know, you could go and diagnose me that, too. But I believe that God talks to us. You might call him the universe. You might call him something else, but I believe that we have a living God and that talks to us.

And I had a dream in. In January that I ran for governor. I woke up that morning, I said to my wife, I had a dream I ran for governor. She said, I had a dream that you ran for a Governor, too. But everywhere that we went, people were screaming at us. We went into church that day, my pastor was up there preaching, and he said, today we’re going to talk about dreams, we’re going to talk about the Old Testament and Joseph. And I found out that week that Sheriff Bianca was also running for governor. And I had decided that I was going to run.

And so I reached out to his camp, my camp reached out to his camp, and we ended up having a two hour sit down and I, we talked about how important it is to have a coalition of people. You know, I said I could go at this one of three ways I could go at this like Trump in 2016. I’m a hammer, everyone’s a nail. I could go out this like Vivek Ramaswamy, where I go at my own lane. I don’t go at you personally, but if I pick up steam, I’m going to go for it.

If not, not, you know, maybe I back out and endorse you, or I go at it through lane number three, which is, you know, I’ll be your J.D. vance. You know, the sheriff goes into Sacramento, the Marine has his back. And what ended up happening was we had a beautiful conversation. And I don’t know if it was the political consultants that got in his ear or what the deal is or if he just got busy, but either way, I understand things happen. But, you know, we went eight weeks or so without really talking. I meet him up at the Cagop.

I tell him, I’m a good dog, but you got to keep me on a leash. I’ll stump for you. I’ll go out, you know, this with you. And, and ultimately I said, you know, you’re making me feel kind of like an aggressive ex girlfriend. I’m calling you saying, hey, let’s get together Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, you’re free Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. And you tell me that we’re going to get together, we don’t do it. You know, I want my sweatshirt back in my CDs if this isn’t going to work. So he says, he laughs about it and whatnot, but I go back home and I think that we’re gonna, you know, get together next couple weeks.

It doesn’t happen. And that’s okay. Like I said, he might be looking at me like I’m a bomb, you know, like I’m an ied, not worth stepping on. And so what I ended up doing was I go to church that Sunday and I listen. And my pastor was saying, you cannot go the path of lesser Resistance and assign God’s blessing to it retroactively. You’re often called to the path of most resistance. You don’t want to do it because it’s hard. And then you want to assign God’s blessing retroactively. That’s ultimately what I was doing. And so I decided it’s time for me to file my paperwork for governor, to find my own lane.

I got some calls from some very high places asking me to enter the race. I did, you know, and right now I understand that I’m a tier two candidate. That’s why I haven’t been on stage with some of these other people. But the thing is here in the Republican Party is we don’t like to rig primaries. We like to let the people decide through debate, through dialogue, through discord, who our candidate is going to be. We don’t allow people to get robbed of. Of nominations by super delegates like the DNC does. And so. But the problem is, at the end of the day is there is very much a media establishment and there is very much a Republican establishment.

And so if I were to run for lieutenant governor, I might have an easier path and I might get the blessing of my local Republican Party and the blessing of the state Republican Party. But then I will be sitting at tables that I should be flipping, and I am looking at a Republican Party that needs to be torn down to the roots and be built back up from the ground up. And that’s very weak right now. We’re a participation trophy party. We are a loser party. We are a party of principled losers. And we’ve been getting our butt kicked, and we have been ceding territory throughout the state.

And that’s because at the end of the day, our principles don’t really hold water. We talk about things like term limits. We talk about things like. And then we don’t look at our side. We talk about draining the swamp, but then we only drain half of it. And so I’m sick of the Republican Democrat game. That’s not a game that our forefathers played. They weren’t Republicans and Democrats. And that’s why we need to have a New Founders movement where we’re rising above political parties. We’re open to discord. We’re open to talking to other candidates that are running against us to help create a better state, find the right seat for everyone, and then that way we can truly flip this state and get to work on day one.

So at the end of the day, I am running because I didn’t see anyone else that was going to be carrying the torch that I felt like I needed to be carried for the people here in the state of California. I got that. I got that. David, thank you for carrying the torch and thank you for serving our country. Very important that I mentioned that, because that says a lot. So, David, as a Marine Corps veteran, how does your military experience shape your view of government’s role? And where do you draw the line between necessary governance and the overreach that you’ve criticized in the past? Okay, so a couple of things.

When I enlisted in the Marine Corps, originally, I was going around repeating neocon Bush era conservative talking points, saying, you know, the message from our troops is to let us win as long as it takes. And I remember sitting in a college course and there was a Marine Corps combat veteran there, and he said, actually, brother, that’s not the message from the troops. And I remember kind of sitting with it. My sister ended up serving in Iraq. She in combat. She came home. I was at a Memorial Day celebration with her. And. And at that Memorial Day celebration, you know, at the time I was living in la, I was doing the Screen Actors Guild thing, writing stage plays and whatnot.

And I was rocked to my core because I was seeing people who were going on two and three combat deployments while I was saying things like, let them win. And then there I was with an able body and an able mind. And so I enlisted, I think, about six months later. I shipped off the boot camp, joined the Marine Corps infantry, became a machine gunner. And I saw on the front lines that my talking points were not correct, that I ended up shooting at human beings that I ultimately had more in common with than the derelicts and cowards and hypocrites who sent me there to go shoot at them in the first place.

And so ultimately, I became very anti war. And I read books by General Smedley Butler. You know, war is a racket. I read new Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins. I realized we need to get out of everyone’s business. We need to tend to our own business. Because what has been practicing abroad, you know, the conquering of people abroad, the. The t taking of their resources is what is happening to us right here at home. We are a conquered people. We are a divided people. We are peasants in the fourth largest economy in the world.

We don’t own anything. We don’t own our homes. We don’t own the land that they sit on. We no longer own our businesses. We don’t own Main Street. We’re over taxed and overburdened. And so government’s role should be much closer to home. You know, we cheer on things like Doge, which is very exciting. And then we have a trillion dollar defense budget. We have a Department of Defense that failed its seventh consecutive audit, unable to account for 62% of $3.5 trillion throughout the globe in weapons assets and capital. That’s our money. And what ends up happening is our dollar is devalued, our home is destabilized and the rest of the world world is destabilized.

And they end up coming here to avoid America’s foreign policy because we are a destabilizing force throughout the world. Not a stabilizing force at this time, unfortunately, and not historically, but right now. And that’s heartbreaking. And so when you look at this, something needs to change because our role should be building the kingdom of heaven here at hand. Our role should be governance here in California, not the destruction of our neighbors. And so there’s massive overreach. And so I was very excited about things like Doge, which, by the way, you know, your prior guest said we should Doge California, brother, I’m with you.

That’s the job. Let’s go. Let’s bring the team together. That’s the job of Malia Cohen. Her job is as the controller is to audit government, spinning the PPP loans, the Bridge to Nowhere, the Bullet train, the lottery money which was supposed to fix our schools and properly fund them. Him. And so if somebody wanted to run for control, and I think Herb Morgan right now is, is running for controller. I asked Jack Carrero to run for controller. I think he would be amazing when he was got elected to the cagop. And he’s holding up Doge California.

I’m like, brother, I don’t want to turn you loose on the cagop. I know that’s a failed organization. I want to turn you loose on the state of California on behalf of the people. And then let’s market an auditing of the state of California on behalf of all of our candidates. Let’s start with the lausd. Let’s start with the teachers union. Let’s start with Bullet Train. You could do all of these things simultaneously because we can walk and chew gum at the same time. I think there’d be a lot of people that would be very excited to find out where all that money went, because it’s through all that printing that we devalue our dollar, we destabilize our home and we destroy our economy.

Yeah, yeah. Now, there were a couple things you mentioned, and I don’t want to overlook them. You know, one was taxes, and the other. You started the conversation now about being buy bipolar. So I think that’s. I don’t want to overlook that. Let’s really distinguish that. David, what does that mean to be bipolar? Sure. And how will that impact you stepping into the role of California governor? So, first off, you know, 90% of these people have mental health issues, and they need to be diagnosed. And most of them are narcissists. And so for myself, I’m a healthy cocktail of autism spectrum disorder and bipolar disorder, too.

And. And so with that awareness, I understand things, you know, because I went in and I checked myself into the VA in February of 2018. And if we are going to destigmatize mental health in this country and in this state and really in California, we need to do it more here than anywhere else. We need to have people who have been there, who’ve seen the strings, who can report back on it, and then help develop better systems for helping people who need help. Because there is a mental health crisis in this country and in California specifically.

And you asked the last guest, would you institutionalize people against their will? Yes, but that is the job of the Attorney General. And that’s why it’s so important to have a coalition of candidates that are the right people in their seat, because the Attorney General is going to have a fight on their hands. Because it is not compassion to have people who are drug addicted, who are struggling mentally, struggling financially, sleeping in their own filth, defecating in front of businesses where children go to school, because it feeds drug trafficking, and drug trafficking leads to human trafficking.

And so we have to have an attorney General who’s going to bring back institutions, because that’s what compassion is. You know, in fact, there was a beautiful institution that was just sold for pennies on the dollar. And it was called, I believe, the Somerset Institute. Gosh, I want to look it up right now. I apologize, but it was just the Sonoma. Sonoma Institute. Yes. And in beautiful. It was. There was not a thing wrong with it. And the person that told me about this, actually, was the one who’s involved in selling it is a guy named Hutch.

And I want him to run for treasurer, because the job of the treasurer is to manage public lands. And he said there was nothing wrong with this institution at all. There was no work that needed to be put into it. It was ready for people. It was beautiful grounds, and we could start helping People come in detox, build a bridge, a wide bridge back into society with the understanding that some people will not be able to enter back into society. They are struggling beyond comprehension, beyond repair. And so you know, and we talk about, I mean I heard Leo Zaki say, you know, give, we have a hundred thousand homeless people, give them all shovels and have them dig a hole and there’s a dam.

It’s not, not that simple unfortunately. And so we need an attorney general who’s going to come and bring back institutions. And because people like me, I needed help and thank God I had family and I had faith eventually to help me get through this. I have a beautiful wife who helped me because it gave me an opportunity to turn the page on post traumatic stress disorder and the narrative that is continuously holding us back and towards post traumatic growth. Insert. David, that is from your time serving our country. Yes ma’ am, yes. Yeah. And look, I grew up violently and, and I live in section 8 housing.

I graduated from high school homeless. And so the thing is, is people struggle and it’s no sign of well being to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. And so I do want to help those people who need the most help amongst us and they are over flowing in our streets, they are everywhere. You know, some people are just struggling financially, it’s figured out. But some people need that help and they need to get back into society and become productive for their own mental well being. Not just so that we have another warehouse worker. You know, and another thing that the prior guest said was that there’s going to be plenty of jobs.

I actually don’t think it doesn’t matter in some ways who’s governor. I think that through the artificial intelligence fourth Industrial revolution, the next technological advance that we’re heading into through artificial general intelligence and through machine learning, that we’re going to have a massive amount of people that are going to be displaced economically and we’re going to have to create better safety nets for them. Which is why I look at the Golden State dividend, I look at government becoming more productive and I look at this, I mean look, can we transition into that? And I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to go in right into that because there are painful times ahead and people need to understand that, that there with pain there is often growth.

And so as long as we keep pushing through it, we need to understand that, you know, there’s a whole lot of people that are going to be put out of work. It’s not just people in shipping and Receiving. It’s doctors, it’s lawyers, it’s, you know, creatives. And. And we need to be ready for looking at what the world is going to look like when that happens. So why don’t we do this? So let’s talk about your book, because I think that’s a great transition right there. So know, your book, Common Sense for California outlines your vision, right? What.

So the question is, what personal or professional failures have you faced that tested your principles and how did they prepare you for the challenges of governing? Okay, great question. So I can tell you right now, you know, I was very good at making other people money, and I was very good at making myself some money. But the thing is, is those of us who tend to be a little bit spectrumy also get. Get, you know, taken for granted sometimes. And when I go back to that, the thing is, understanding how you are wired is a benefit.

You know, we are a society that grew up watching X Men where there’s all these different people who are properly utilized within the right, you know, configuration make for a stellar team. And I feel like that’s what we need. We need the leadership that can find that team. So when I look at the failures in my personal life, in my professional life life, you know, I went from making. Making, you know, less than $30,000 in combat to the next year, you know, making $130,000 to $350,000 to $650,000. And I thought that I was, you know, God’s answer to everything.

And my. Everyone around me was very interested in being around me because I was financially successful. And at the end of the day, I was hurting from a very violent deployment, a violent childhood that I hadn’t unpacked. And I wasn’t right. I didn’t have my faith in order. You know, I did not have a moral compass. I really tried to have a true north, but I was struggling. And so the breakdown of my business happened when I went through divorce. A divorce. And I got 50 custody of my kids. And I was able to decide, hey, do I want to continue to, you know, maybe I’ll hire a nanny or something like that to raise my children, or do I need to take this as a sign that I need to be more engaged with my children and understand I’m not these things.

And so at the end of the day, I owe the IRS some money, I owe the state of California some money. And, you know, we’re making payments and whatnot, we’re on a plan and. And all that different stuff. But who doesn’t. Who doesn’t know the IRS some money, who doesn’t owe the state of California some money? Because when you grow up without anything and then all of a sudden you have a ton of money, nobody really teaches you how to manage that money, which is why you see so many people become financially destitute. And so I feel like if we were properly educating our children, people like me going through high school, who didn’t have the mentorship that was needed, I ended up having to go and learn everything the hard way.

And so if we develop our education system and we revitalize our education system, we’re going to be able to go in there and find people before they’re lost. Because our education system so desperately needs to be overhauled because we have an outdated education system for the last industrial revolution. And so a lot needs to happen. And you know what? I think that I may have even departed from your original question, Kim. Oh, and so, you know, what happened was my business broke up and I realized I am not these things, you know, and so if I’m not these things, what am I supposed to do? Right? And so you end up a lot of veterans and not up deciding whether or not they’re going to self eliminate.

And I was in a similar place and I decided, okay, I don’t want to. Well, then what does that mean? Well, that means that I want to live. And then when you realize that, you know, those who lose their life for me will gain it. Right? And, and so I’m willing to die for it. I’m willing to be incarcerated for it. I’m willing to do the things that I need to do because at one point I was already dead. And now here I am walking again, you know, born again, alive again. And, and you know, with newfound purpose, newfound attachments with my family and whatnot.

And so there is a reemergence that comes and often you don’t see that from the pampered class. You don’t see that from people who have struggled. And so I’m grateful for the, the business struggles. I’m grateful for a faulty secretary of state that makes that gives everybody death by paperwork. I’m grateful for all of the hurdles in real estate that I’ve had to learn about that should be eliminated for other people, you know, because with every failure came a blessing and came a lesson that now I get to go and teach somebody else, that hopefully I get to go and eliminate some strings that will hold other people back from achieving the sort of success they’re with.

Achieving. I love it. I love it. And we’re going to pick up off of life because you mentioned the importance of life you want to live. So during your congressional run and a couple years last year, I believe you avoided detailed positions on hot button issues like abortion or second amendment rights. So my question is right now, where do you stand on these? And have you ever held views that might alienate conservative voters? Sure. I don’t actually stray away from any topics. There’s lots of, you know, places where I talked about this sort of stuff. So first off, Second Amendment, it’s there to back up the first.

You know, I shall not be infringed. I am a very pro second amendment person. You know, it’s hard to oppress armed people. Right. And so we. An armed society is a polite society in America is about arming the rest of the world and not about arming its own citizens. It’s a little bit bizarre. You know, we fund 73% of the world’s authoritarian dictatorships. And, and so at the end of the day, I’m very pro second Amendment. Next. Abortion. Yes. Look, at the end of the day, you know, I was going around, I was telling people, yeah, I’m pro life.

And they were saying, saying, well, do you want to ban abortion at conception? I said, no, I don’t think that that’s something that we can do. And also, I don’t think that that’s something that needs to be done. I’m not looking to create the sort of religious fundamentalism in America to where we have a Taliban here in America lining people up against the wall for stoning. That’s not what I’m looking to do. But what I want to do is I want to change the narrative around life. And so am I going to ban abortion? No, I’m not.

Am I going to make it possible for life to exist here by looking at the, the, the places where life is dropped? Why, why are we not pro adoption? You know, we need to change the narrative here, you know, because what we’re doing is we say, oh, well, we’re against abortion. Why don’t we be truly pro life? And if we’re truly pro life, we’re going to look at adoption. We’re going to look at the 15,386 children that are ready for adoption right now in the state of California. You know, we’re going to look at the, you know, 60,000 children that throughout the course of the year are going to come up for adoption.

What would happen if in the bluest state in America, we adopted all those babies. What would happen, you know, what would happen if we, in the blue state in America, we had a church that stepped up to provide free child care in every school district in California in all 58 counties. Right. And so you look at adoption, you look at child care. What about homelessness and hunger? You know, what if we stepped up to start providing people opportunities to get out of struggling out in the elements and, you know, defecating in the streets and then finally, finally drug trafficking and human trafficking.

And so I look at being pro life, like being pro entire life, looking at adoption as a possibility. You know, you don’t. What you resist, persists. What Steve Jobs knew is that he was not going to win with Apple by competing with Zoom. So he did Apple. And if we just did life like we should do life like we should do life. And we focused on adoption, and we led the world in adoption, and we adopted all the babies that came from California. In California, we led the world in providing free child care. You know, we looked after our homelessness, our homeless and our hungry, and we looked out after those who are being trafficked against their will in broad daylight in every major city in California, because that is the number one issue in our time.

That’s slavery out in the open. And of course, we have the. That conference coming up. The Rev 17. Piece of heaven dot life. That’s pieceofheaven live. I recommend. Yeah, I’ll be speaking at that conference as well. David, are you speaking at that conference? They are not allowing any candidates to speak, but I’ll be up there on Friday and Saturday. Everyone needs. This is actually the 20th through the 22nd of June, peaceofheaven life. And we will be broadcasting here now, David, I don’t want to. I don’t want to skip something. This is so important. Can you give me 20 seconds on human trafficking really quick, Kim? Yeah, yeah, let’s go back.

Okay, we’re gonna hold on. Pro life. Pro life. Pro life. You said you’re pro life. Now. Are you also pro abortion? I want to distinguish this. No, no, no, no, I’m not. Safe, rare and legal. And so the thing is, is we went away from safe and rare. And so the thing is, if we were to create the kingdom of heaven at hand, instead of worrying about destroying our neighbors, more people would want to bring life into the world. And if we teach, if we taught young men to be worth their seed, because that’s where it’s going to start.

It’s going to start with young men it’s going to start with, you know, in a women’s liberation movement, it’s going to have to swing back to male chastity because I don’t know of a single abortion that happened from immaculate conception. I don’t know of one. And so if we were more honorable as men, and we look and I’ve talked to a lot of different pastors, a lot of different priests, a lot of different bishops, and I said, let’s hold a conference for young men and let’s teach them to be, you know, worth the seed that they are spilling.

Let’s teach them to be more than just, you know, you know, a horn dog and become a provider in. Be worth something. And so because at the end of the day, people are choosing not to have children, Kim, for the first time in history, and it’s because we have a worse California and a worse country than we inherited. And people are looking at dual incomes with no children and they’re still not getting by. And so if we created more of an abundant society where people weren’t struggling and then we had a, a student choice voucher, but also a child care voucher, let’s make sure that parents are not struggling, especially single parents, because we’ve destroyed the household.

All we’ve done is we’ve attacked the household. And so you have more single parents than ever. And so if we supported them through a child care voucher, well, you know, who’s going to pay for it? Oh, right, geez. We’re paying for it. We’re so over taxed. And if there’s something that I want, what my taxpayer dollars going towards, it’s child care, it’s come on, war. Come on. That’s so good, David. I want to insert there. You know, I was a single mom of three, three years ago. I’m remarried now, four children. That would have made a big deal for me as a single mom to be able to utilize that kind of funding to, you know, have someone that I trusted watch my children.

So I love that. Now you wanted to touch on child trafficking, and I don’t want to overlook that. How are you going to tackle the child trafficking problem? You heard Lewis Herm share. It is truly a travesty what’s happening. And with the former administration losing all of those children, this is not something that I am new to the table at. I met Pastor Rudy Gonzalez in 2018, who runs CERT Ministries, Search Evangelize, Rescue Train. And he goes and he recovers children all throughout the Inland Empire, throughout California and throughout the World, including major super bowl operations.

He works with law enforcement throughout the world and, and I introduced pastor Rudy with cert ministries, his wife Lori with the slave free project, to pastor Dave of the church of glad tidings and Matthew Kennedy and say, you know, at a meeting that Lee Dundas ended up coming to and whatnot about his organization. But I set up this meeting because I want to end human trafficking in the first 140 days that we are in that I’m in office through something that I call operation disrupt and restore. This is to disrupt, you know, cartel operations, Disrupt these operations throughout the state of California.

Restore California and American integrity to American soil. And we’re going to do this by working with a volunteer force, getting them into the California state guard and operating through the California state guard and then deputizing those metro those people through the U. S. Federal marshals. And there’s a way to do it. It can be done. It will be done within the first 140 days that I’m in office. But it’s not me that’s going to get it done. It’s going to be God that’s going to get it done. And this is biblical. It will happen within one hour.

It will happen within one hour. So when people tell me 140 days won’t happen, I tell them biblically it will happen within one hour. But we, when we get orders from on higher, we have to follow those orders. Some people call it intuition. Some people say God talks to me, that it was prayer. I happen to feel like God talks to me and he gives me orders and if I follow those orders, I get more orders. If I don’t follow those orders, he stops talking to me. I get very depressed, you know, and it’s stressed out as I am and as harsh as this environment is, I would rather be here working in what I feel like God has created me to be a part of than to be isolating myself from humanity and just selling real estate.

Because I could sell a ton of real estate. I’m really good at it. I’m really good at it. I’m really good at selling real estate. And my wife in many ways would probably be very happy with that. And I might end up going and doing that. But at the end of the day, this is what I feel called to do. I love it. I love it. You know, it’s funny what Lewis herm shared, what you shared. You know, we really do have more in common in. And can you imagine when the people we, the people and those in positions really work together to save the children.

I mean, if we were just to take on one of those. Or what if we were to take on water, right. The real water issue in California. So why don’t we touch on that? Why don’t we touch on the grave concern of many Californians on, on future water? And this is a thing that, like you said, this is a bipartisan issue. You know, we should be able to agree on this. As the people, Democratic leadership has failed us. But as the people, we need to understand that there’s a lot of things that we could agree on.

One of those things is water. We have about $4 trillion that spills out to 4 trillion gallons worth of water that spills out to the Pacific every year. And in addition to that, we continue to privatize a lot of our water, water, which all of our water is supposed to be public in the state of California, but we sold off about 250 billion gallons worth of water to the Resnicks in a closed door meeting in the Bay Area. For the Resnick family, we spent $7.9 billion developing water infrastructure for the, to serve the Los Angeles area basin.

But ultimately we ended up selling it to a Kern county big Ag, you know, farmer who has the wonderful company called the Resnick family. So the thing is, is we the people continuously get sold out when it comes to things like water. Because what they’re doing is they’re creating scarcity for us in water, in education and oil. You know, we shut down oil refineries, we shut down nuclear power facilities, San Onofre, we’re going to shut down Diablo Canyon when we should be investing in nuclear energy, investing in water infrastructure. Because at the end of the day, you know, AI, all that different stuff, it needs, it needs water and it needs power.

But in addition to that, we could take a note out of Saudi Arabia’s playbook, you know, the 29th largest economy in the world who desalinizes six times more water than the Colorado river produces daily for their people. We should desalinize water. And we can sell water to our water poor neighbors and energy to our energy poor neighbors, because are they going to stop building housing in the desert in New Mexico, in Arizona and Nevada? And so we have a huge opportunity where we could financially benefit we the people. And because the thing is, at the end of the day, we always have public funds that go towards investment and things like water and energy, and then we always privatize the gains.

And we saw that with uranium in 1994 under Newt Gingrich and, you know, Bill Clinton, uranium one, you know, all of the uranium was privatized. This is nuclear energy. If there’s one industry in America that should not be privatized, it’s probably our nuclear energy. But we privatize all of our uranium, we ended up heavily subsidizing, which is what government does. They heavily subsidize private businesses to the tunes of billions of dollars annually. And then what ended up happening? Because there’s four different stages to, to nuclear power. And the third is enrichment. But we don’t even enrich nuclear power here.

We don’t even enrich uranium here anymore. Most of our uranium gets enriched in Russia. And so the thing is, is we’ve completely failed on an infrastructure level. And it’s because we continue to, to lie about things like the privatization of everything works. And that’s not what we end up happening. When we have that mindset, you end up having billionaires like Elon Musk, quite frankly, who is subsidized to the tune of $8 million a day. He has been subsidized $27 billion. My God, if you were subsidized to the tune of $8 million a day by the, the government, we the people, as a south, I mean, as an American, you would be successful, but we’re subsidizing a South African oligarch, an emerald oligarch, $8 billion a day.

And look, am I grateful for the Doge cuts? Am I grateful that he went in and tried to audit government? Yes. But then we saw the war that happened there with the big beautiful bill between him and Elon. And you know, and they say, well, it’s because the subsidies weren’t in there. It might be because it was a 4 trillion dollar, you know, budget. I would have loved to have seen Doge go cut loose on the amount of foreign spend beginning that we do. Not just usaid, but the Pentagon. And that would have told everybody exactly what we needed to see.

And I do believe that that audit could have ended in handcuffs because that’s. And I’m sorry to go off on a tangent, but everything with me is a tangent because it’s all connected. But the controller in the state of California, they could audit all of this government spending, but they are not a prosecuting force. They would have to refer it to the attorney general in the state of California for prosecution. Which is why I say it’s so important for us to have a good, good governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, treasurer, controller, because if we don’t get everyone in there, get everyone on the same page, have control of the assembly and have control of the Senate.

We’re going to have another lame duck governor like we did with Schwarzenegger, and we cannot afford that this time. So the mentality of one man can save us all is not the case. One man did not destroy the state of California. It wasn’t Governor Newsom on his own own. One man will not save the state of California working on his own. Which is why we, all of us candidates and all of us people need to start finding people to run for the Senate, the Assembly, all of the spots in the executive branch, as well as all of the local offices.

And we need to get organized in a battalion, a regiment, in a way that’s going to support these people because you need the players in the game. You need an organization that’s going to support them. And then you need business that you could stand on, which is what my contract track with California is. It’s, you know, 15, 16 points now that are about things that most of us can agree on. You know, things like development. You know, we’re very low on housing. We have 48 million acres in the state of California. That is public land. Over 50% of the state belongs to we the people.

And 48 million acres is a tremendous amount of land. You know, by comparison, San Francisco’s 30,000 acres and there are 419,000 homes. Sanford, Sacramento is 300,000 acres and there are 200,000 homes. So if we were to build five new cities with 200,000 new homes and add 1.5 million single family residents to existing cities, not high density housing, you know, not ghettos, not slums, but the kind of homes that they used to build before Cequa, the EPA and the real estate Gestapo killed housing in the state. Okay, David, wow. You covered a lot of ground. And these are really key.

No, that’s great because the pieces are all connected. So there’s a couple things you touched on, and I, and I don’t want to miss them. So number one. So let’s talk about how we would handle a crisis. Right. So, for example, as governor, how would you handle a Crisis like the 2025 Los Angeles county fires? Would you rely on federal aid, state resources, or private sector solutions? And what emergency powers would you be willing to use? Sure. So that’s. Actually, I’m really glad that you brought that up because what you’ve seen is you’ve seen Ricardo Lara, the insurance commissioner.

He completely set himself up for failure because of the California Fair Plan that’s not an industry that should have been privatized and created a false monopoly because he set himself up for insolvency. Because ultimately what ended up happening is you had 15,000 churches, homes and businesses burnt to the ground, largest structure fire in world history. And then you have an insurance agency that is not set up to support it because other insurance companies did not want to be in California’s harsh climate for house insurance because of the high risk for fire damage. So sure, there’s a certain amount of, okay, what do you do now? But first off you go, go upstream and you’ve tried to figure out what the problem is.

Why are there so many bodies in the river? Well, you know, because there’s a huge amount of problem when you go upstream. You look at PG&E, you look at the, the massive amount of subsidization that has happened with Pacific Gas and Electric, you know, the Paradise Fire and a lot of the fires that happen where they had 85 manslaughter charges that were brought against them that they were convicted of. And ultimately what ended up happening was we subsidized. We the people paid for their representation legally and then we paid for them to be bailed out. And then they created this reward system where the, the, the, these poor fire victims families were, were paid with PG&E stock.

This is disgusting. It was the negligence that happened through PG&E and through what they needed to be doing, but also through California. So there’s a massive amount of, you know, tending to our, our forest. We could bring back commercialized logging, you know, which is something that I saw as a kid. I grew up in the Sierra Nevadas and I used to see these fire breaks and, you know, they grow back, you know what I mean? And it happens. And that’s something that’s natural. And so. And then in addition to that, you need to create a tremendous amount of water.

We have an abundance of water. We need to stop acting like flat earthers. And so what you have built, you know, in the 1920s, you had all these water silos in, in the 1940s and 50s, water silos throughout the state of California, throughout the country, and the city name on them. Well, the reason why these water silos were built is because if there was a fire, you don’t need electricity to get water out of the taps. You just open up the silo and then gravity pushes the water out. And so we could create an abundance of water silos that are going to be able to help fight the fire when we fight the fire.

We need to make sure that we’re using retard retardant that does not destroy the soil so that we can rebuild on it. And there’s a new company out there that develops fire retardant that is fertilizer based, that basically seeds the the ground as it’s destroying the fire. That way, it creates a streamline where the, the homeowner can then redevelop. Because right now, one of the reasons why they can’t redevelop is because they destroyed the soil. And so, and finally, so you create infrastructure that makes it so that you fight the fire. Fire. You, you, you make it possible for emergency response teams to be supported by water, an abundance of water when it happens.

But then when it happens, we don’t need the federal government to step in all the time with everything. We could sell off a certain amount of public land. And when I talk about this, I’m not talking about Yosemite. I’m not talking about our national parks. In fact, our national parks with minimal investment, created a huge return on investment. We get like 15 back for every dollar we spend on our public parks, which that’s actually something that I want to invest in through my outdoorsmanship, through my contract with California. We used to be the party of outdoorsmen, but what we can do is we can sell off some public land.

So then that way we have the amount of money so that we could go back and do right by the people that have already been destroyed by the California Fairplan in. And I was trying to find an insurance commissioner that could come in and help me fix this mess. And I reached out to this gal, last name Fitzgerald. She, she founded a company that, you know, she’s a fellow millennial. She’s founded a company, she was a CEO of a company that made it possible for people to shop insurance. She’s called one of the most innovative people in the insurance industry by Forbes magazine, business magazine and whatnot.

I asked her to run because she also lost her home, home in the fire. And she was helping people navigate the fair plan. So that’s the whole part of this, is finding the right people to negotiate that. And I think you could bring in an insurance commissioner to help negotiate, along with the treasurer, along with the controller and the lieutenant governor. Those are. That’s sort of the business class of the executive branch. So then that way we get the California Fair Plan out of insolvency, we take care of the people that are there currently. I’m sure that the federal government would probably subsidize and help bell out if they thought that it was an investment and that they were going to get a return on their investment.

And there is a way to do that and there is a way to make that happen. And it is through the massive amount of public land which we used to develop. We used to build on public land throughout history during the best times of housing. And as a capitalist, if you introduce more product into a market, the cost of the that asset goes down. And so through an abundance of housing we could make, make housing accessible. But we need to build massive amounts of it. And what that would do is it would create additional tax revenue so that we could take care of the people when these sort of things happen.

We don’t need to squeeze our citizens for more tax revenue without supporting them through the infrastructure that comes with having a production productive society. And so, you know, I don’t want to have federal government stepping in, in a lot of these situations. In fact, I want to limit, limit the amount of federal government overreach. I would. There are several federal government programs that I want to eliminate and I want to return these things to the localities, to the states, things like the epa. We don’t need anything. Let’s hold on, we’re gonna, we’re gonna come. Right, hold that thought.

Right, epa, hold that right there. Let’s go back to taxes because no, it’s great. You’re trying to get everything out in the time and I got that. So taxes. Let’s talk about that for a second. You’ve been known to say that you’re going to tax the rich. 94. Is that true? And why so Absolutely, that was me, I said that and it was billionaires. And so the thing is, is, you know, I’m abandoned, you know, economic nationalist. I look at billionaires like they’re almost a parasitic class at this point. And the thing is, is I don’t blame billionaires currently because we have given them nothing to invest in.

There’s nothing really real, there’s no companies. And so what they invest in is they invest in the casino, the stock market, they invest in the, these assets that aren’t even real assets, these companies that aren’t real companies. And so you don’t have this sort of, you know, build in California made in America anymore. What has happened is we’ve federally subsidized and state subsidized all these billionaires and we have welfare for the rich and we have cold hearted capital for the poor. And we talk about going back to the golden age of capitalism, and I’m a capitalist.

But during the golden age of capitalism in America, the top tax rate for people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk and Zuckerberg was 97%. And so when people talk to me about, oh, David, I heard that you want to said that you want to tax billionaires out of existence. Yeah. You know who the billionaires donate to, five to one in the last election cycle? Kamala Harris. There is a class A party for the elites, for the oligarchs. That is the Democratic Party. That is the party of the World Economic Forum. That is the party of Jeff Bezos and, you know, the elites and whatnot.

That’s the party of, you know, Oprah Winfrey in the rock. You know, these are the billionaires and they donate 5 to 1 to the Democratic Party. Now, Elon Musk saw the writing on the wall, and at the 11th hour, he comes over and he saw that the economic nationalist movement was behind Trump. And that was very intelligent of him. It’s wise investment. But at the end of the day, he’s also still a billionaire who’s heavily government subsidized, $8 million a day, $27 billion in total so far. And so when he didn’t get his electric government subsidy, his electric car subsidies, he freaks out and says that President Trump is on the Epstein list.

And so, you know, I look at this sort of stuff and I look at these billionaires, they’re not my friend. The Republican Party is the party of the working class. It’s the party of the people. It’s the party of trickle down economics. When is some of that wealth going to start trickling down? It’s the party of millionaires that create other millionaires, of people who invest in more than speculation. Those are the kind of things that I want to see. I want to see millionaires creating other millionaires. I don’t want to see our first trillionaire. I don’t want to see three men who own more wealth than 150 million people in this country.

That’s oligarch stuff. That’s French Revolution, American Revolution sort of disparity and in to such an extreme. And I don’t want to trade kings for corporate overlords. And so I want to bring back Main street. And you can’t bring back Main street with the Waltons and Bezos and Zuckerberg and everyone controlling both parties and having them both on payroll. You know, that’s ultimately what ends up happening. Because if you look at a lot of where a lot of These donations come. They. They donate to these people who’ve been in for 10, 12, 20 years, and they’ll donate to the Democrat in one district, the Republican in the next district.

There’s no loyalty there. There’s no loyalty there, so. You’re absolutely right. You know who posted that clip about wanting to tax billionaires? Me. I did it. It was me. Okay. So. So let’s talk about public trust. Okay, yeah, sure. In 2024, your campaign suggested a limited voter recognition, so. Well, let’s actually reframe that. Your campaign lost in 2024, suggesting limited voter recognition. How will you rebuild statewide trust now? Are there any past campaign promises or actions that you regret that might have undermined that trust? No, I don’t regret anything. I ran in a D + 27 district.

You know, we ended up losing by 11 points. You know, the Republican Party. I was gonna walk in the Republican Party. I said, I want a primary. Republican Congressman Ken Calvert, who’s been in Congress for 32 years, he’s the head of the Appropriations Committee for the Department of Defense, you know, and I said, this is who I want to primary. Primary. And they said, even though I live in that district, they said, please don’t do that. Will you run in a district that you don’t live in against Mark Decano in a D +27 district? They sent me out in the desert to die, the Republican Party did.

And they didn’t expect that I was going to pick up any recognition throughout the state of California, which I have. You know, there’s a lot of people within the Republican circles that know who I am. They respect me because they know that I don’t change in every room that I in. In. And that’s part of being autistic. That’s freaking. You know, I don’t need your friendship. I don’t like having friends. I like my special interest. And, you know, one of those things is government. And so the thing is, is, you know, I’m not for sale, you know, and I.

You cannot buy me. And so. What was your original question, Cam? I ended up getting off on a huff. Public trust. Public trust. No. So everyone knows where I stand. And they also know that no matter what you ask me in whatever room I’m in, that even if I’m the only person that believes what I believe, I’m gonna say it now. At the end of the day, we have to understand that you shouldn’t agree with anybody about everything. Then one of you is lying, or you’re both sheep. But you should agree with most people about 90, 80 of things.

And that’s where I think that we can hang our hat, is that 80 to 90% of things that we agree on, which never get addressed by the system because we have a bunch of sellouts that have spent the time, their entire career in government. And look, at the end of the day, I could go back to the private sector and I can make plenty of money. But right now, I’m sacrificing, I’m putting it all in. My oven doesn’t work. That’s the truth. My oven broke. My microwave, my dishwasher broke. I have working on one AC unit, One of my AC units busted.

My wife is still all in with me because she believes in this movement and what we’re doing. And so the thing is, I’m not here to get rich, my friend. You know, there’s a plenty of other things that I could be doing. But I’m here because I believe in this state and I believe in what it stands for, and I believe in this country and I’ve fought for it abroad. And our enemies are not abroad. You know, our enemies are right here. That’s right. That’s right. David, two questions to complete us this evening. Number one, if you feel, if you fail to deliver on key promises like water infrastructure or reducing crime, would you step down or adjust, adjust your approach? No, I would adjust my approach.

I think that the thing is, is we need to have somebody who’s going to go all in for the people and that might, there might be some pain in the beginning. And you know, a lot of people, they promise roses and sunsets and, you know, sunny walks on the beach. And I’m telling you that there’s going to be some growing pain that’s coming no matter who becomes governor because of this fourth industrial revolution that we’re heading into. The thing is, is President Trump went in in 2016 and he didn’t know what he knew when he went in in 2024.

I’m trying to learn from some of the mistakes that he made in 2016 by what he did in 2024, by creating a group of people around me that could come into this government together. The eight executives, the Senate, the Assembly and the 519 gubernatorial appointed positions. So the thing is, is I’m trying to find people who are better than me, me in the ways that I lack that, have the expertise that I have, that, that I don’t have. And so if you create that sort of team, you create that sort of administration, it needs someone at the front, to suffer the slings of arrows of leadership and to say that the buck stops here, and sometimes to do unpopular things with the understanding that, you know, hopefully the, there’s a return on that investment.

Like the tariffs, for example, example. You know, some of these tariffs are unpopular right now. We talk about, you know, the, the deportations being unpopular, even though, you know, Biden deported 4 million people and, you know, Obama deported 3 million people. All of a sudden we got a problem with it now. And so it’s very curious. So the thing is, you’re always going to have somebody where it, it’s their fault it falls on their back, and that should be me as governor. The best thing that we could do is bring the people with us, shed more light, fight on government and the way that it works, educate people on the way that it works, encourage their involvement.

I would even be down for having a live TV show, you know, five days a week, similar to the, what Ryan Tillman is in that sort of 911 police programming. We should have that in government, and it should be in the Senate and the assembly and in, in the executive branch, following around people, showing the public what they’re doing, you know, know, creating more illuminescence around government. Because that’s also what Trump did in 2016 that people appreciated is we knew what was going on, we knew what he was up to, and we knew what the people around him were up to.

And I think that that’s something that I would. I know that that’s something that I would do because it’s already something that I’m working to do with my New Founders movement. Love it. Love it. Last question. What are you willing to. To compromise and what are you willing to un. What do you. What are you willing to compromise and what are you not willing to compromise as governor of California? Sure, I’m willing to lose my life. I’m willing to be incarcerated. You know, that’s what I’m willing to do. You know, we’ll go all the way there, but at the end of the day, I will work with anyone to do good and with no one to do bad.

And at one point, that was a good, a good thing when we were able to have bipartisan legislation, legislation, bipartisan leadership, you know, because throughout the state of California, the way that the jungle primary system works, we’re going to have the primary Democrats from the Democratic Party, a Republican, probably is not going to win in Nancy Pelosi’s district, but if we ran another Democrat against her as part of this New Founders movement, or we just infiltrated the Democratic Party. You call yourself a Democrat? We have to start playing chess, not checkers. If we play the game the way that they created it for us, we’re going to have media and political establishment candidates always.

It doesn’t matter who you vote for, as long as I get to choose the candidates. Right? That’s that old saying. So what I’m willing to compromise on is. Is nothing. I’m. I’m not willing to compromise on anything. I don’t need your friendship. I don’t need to go out for beers afterwards. I don’t need, you know, to hang out with anyone. I don’t need to be the cool kid. What I need to do is I need to get good things done for the people and I need to adamantly work against the wrong things and with the understanding that sometimes I might be in the minority.

And if I’m in the minority, well, that’s the way that a democratic republic works. If I’m in the minority, I get outvoted. If I’m in the minority, people introduce legislation that I disagree with and it comes across my desk. It’s not on me to play goalie to prevent legislation that the people want. It is on me to implement good governance, rise above the culture war, bring the people together where we can unite and adamantly work against the minority, where we disagree with the understanding that the rights of the minorities are protected under this republic that we live in.

And so there’s a lot that needs to be done. I want to do it with. I want to get a lot done with everyone that ends up showing up on a. After election day. But that being said, I want to replace as many of them as possible before we get there. I got that. David Serpa for governor dot com. That’s David Serpa for governor dot com. David, I want to say thank you so much for being with us today. You were in the hot spot for a couple of those questions. You handled them very well. I appreciate you excited for what’s ahead.

So one the White House has called a lid. They’re moving Trump as we speak to protect Trump. Also, it looks like Israel, looks like Israel is decapitated the Iranian government. It took out the entire general staff, including the chief of staff, took out several top militants, took out the top staff of nuclear scientists in Israel. They may have even gotten to the president of Iran. I don’t know. So it looks like Israel as decapitated the Iranian government. So Israel responded, they attacked. So we’re going to keep you abreast as to what’s happening there. But stay tuned.

Don’t go anywhere. We’re going to take a moment to thank one of our sponsors who is we have two sponsors tonight and they are game changers. Patriots buyingamerican.com and then Patriot TV beef.

That’s patriot tvbeef.com all right, my dear freedom loving patriots, without further ado, we’ve got to bring in our last governor candidate tonight. He has been waiting in the back rooms. But I’m going to give you a little bit of information about Brandon. So Brandon Jones. Jones is a Christian husband, father, entrepreneur and a Republican who has dedicated his life to building businesses, creating jobs and serving his community. Grounded in faith, driven by a deep love for California, Brandon is committed to tackling the challenges our state faces, ensuring safer streets, affordable housing and better opportunities for all.

A quote from Brand and he says, my faith teaches me the importance of compassion, accountability and serving others. I believe these values are at the heart of creating a better California for everyone. So you gotta check him out, but we’re gonna check him out by his a little video that he put together today. It is not just little, it is the campaign video. So I’m gonna share my screen with you guys. You gotta love it when you’re working the back end at the same time, right? So here we go. And this is Brandon Jones running for governor of the state of California.

Hi, I’m Brandon Jones and I’m running for governor of California because I believe we need real leadership to tackle the challenges facing our state. That’s why I started the Restore California movement to unite people across party lines and fight for safety, safer communities, affordable housing, better schools and real solutions to homelessness. But I can’t do this alone. This movement is about you, your family, your future and your voice. We need you in this movement. Join Restore California today and together we’ll bring real change to our state. Let’s make California the place we all know it can be at the Paid for by Brandon Jones for Governor 2026.

All right, that is approved by Brandon Jones bringing Brandon Jones into the room. Brandon Jones, I see you, but I don’t see you. Oh, there you are. It’s like I saw him backstage, but he was far away. Hey, it’s good to see you. Welcome to the take your power back show. Thank you, Kim. So excited to be on. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. Okay, your mic sounds a little farther away, and your voice deserves to be heard, so let’s bring it right up to that mouth. Right. Is that better? Yeah, better. A little. Little echo in the background, but we just love hearing you.

Welcome. So excited we got to meet at one of the Republican events and, you know, same thing with David and Lewis. It’s always an honor to get to know you guys, see your character, see how you, you know, integrate with others that are running. So you have listened on the back end to Lewis Herms, to David Serpa, and you got to get your eyes on Gavin Newsom and what. What’s been going on across this crazy state. What are your thoughts to that? Because I’m not even going to ask you a question. What are your thoughts to just what’s been presented to you tonight? Yeah, so I.

You’re right. I do have the benefit of going last and hearing the perspective of these other candidates. And. And I’ve heard David Serpa speak before, so it was good to kind of hear him and embellish a little bit on kind of where he stands. But, yeah, you know, I mean, we’re all running as Republicans, or at least David and I are, so unsurprisingly, we’re aligned on a lot of things. But look, we all acknowledge that California is a wreck. I like how you commented before that this is not unintentional. This is the outworking of not just Gavin Newsom, but many in the Democratic Party that really have an anti American, anti God view of the world and politics.

And. And this is the fallout of that. Yeah, yeah. And. And you describe yourself as a Christian, Brandon, and conservative. Right. So how does your faith and values guide your policy decisions, particularly on divisive issues like education or marriage? And where might they conflict with secular governance? Yeah, sure. So, you know, first of all, as a Christian, obviously, I’m looking at the world through a biblical lens. And as you well know, Romans 13 teaches us that government is established by God. So government is not, in its origin, a human institution. It is established by God. And really, the role of government, as some of your other candidates have.

Have already mentioned, maybe in different ways, that the role of government is really to uphold a Biblical standard of righteousness. And so whatever the policy, whatever the position has to be looked at through that lens. Now, where I would depart from David Serpa and even, you know, a lot of the leadership that we have in the state would be in a few ways. One would be abortion. So that. That came up a few times as you were interviewing these other candidates. So abortion, plain and simply, is murder. And I believe that it’s murder because God believes it’s murder.

And so that would be probably an area where I would part ways with other candidates or other people in leadership. So I am pro life and I am also anti abortion as it relates to public education. I have no particular argument against public education, but education should be be dictated and controlled by parents. And certainly we don’t see that in the state of California. So, yeah, those would be. Those be a few things that come to mind. I love it. I love it. So give us the lowdown. You know, you’re a business owner. You’ve built businesses.

An entrepreneur. Why now? Why are you running for governor? Yeah. Well, first and foremost, it’s driven, as you, as you kindly mentioned in the introduction, by a true, genuine, deep love for California and not just the place, but the people. I grew up in Iowa, but California has always felt like home to me. I’ve lived here in total about 15 years. And I find Californians to be extremely loving people, but also very innovative. California is also a place of much diversity, and I just love the people in the place, and that’s the primary driver for me.

But also, just because somebody has a love for something doesn’t make them qualified to do something. And so I’ve also considered my professional background as an entrepreneur, which I can unpack as we move along here. But based on my love and a belief that professionally I’m qualified for the job, led me to. To make the decision to run. I love it. So let’s talk about that. Let’s talk about you as an entrepreneur. I love entrepreneurs. It’s so fun because it takes something. It really takes something to be an entrepreneur. Right. So let’s talk about one situation, one example of how you navigated through a very challenging business time and completely turned it around and grew your business.

Business. Yeah. So, I mean, the first thing that would come to mind would be I was. I was working in affordable housing in. Not in California, but in Missouri at the time, during the, the early Covid years, and that that business was decimated when, when all the lockdowns, Missouri didn’t experience the same, the same extreme kind of lockdowns that the Southern California had, but it was still. It was still present and it really decimated that industry. So I had to make some tough decisions in terms of, you know, letting certain employees go and getting very strict on how the money was being spent.

But as the Lord would allow it, that that business did turn around and I was able to exit from it. So, yeah, that would be one example, but there’s certainly been numerous examples over the years. Yeah, so what, what was the key ingredient there? You know, the business head. But what was. What did it take to navigate through that time and to. For you to continue to build businesses? Yeah, well, fundamentally it’s. It’s a trust in the Lord. Right. I mean, as. As every area of life requires, it is a trust in the Lord. And. Okay, so how does that work out practically? Well, when you decide, when a person decides that I’m going to trust in the Lord through every season of life, that really acts practically as a safeguard in a lot of ways, because it’s.

It shields you from making perhaps decisions that are overly impulsive. It teaches you to just dig your heels in and contemplate, to pray, to consider and to aim to make wise decisions, even in the face of much adversity. So, you know, a trust in the Lord would be. Would be fundamental to that. But really, when you’re dealing with catastrophic issues like what I just described, it’s really just taking a it day by day. Really, really living in the moment, planning for the future, but really, really aiming to live day by day, because in those circumstances, things are changing so rapidly.

Yeah, I can imagine that. I can imagine. So in the midst of building businesses, creating jobs, have you ever faced any legal or ethical controversies in your entrepreneurial career that could resurface and impact your credibility as governors winner? No. No, I can’t think of one. Okay, got it, Got it. I mean, that was a pretty clear no. I love that. Love it. Okay, so let’s talk about your Restore California movement. Why don’t you distinguish what that is, the traction it’s gained, and maybe who some of the donors are. Give us kind of the low down there.

Yeah, well, I’m glad, I’m glad you brought that up because that definitely aligns with, you know, your position, your view. And I, I love the title of the podcast, take your power back, because the power really does rest with the people. Here’s the practical challenge that, that I’ve. I’ve learned even more, more clearly as I’ve been campaigning is that people don’t often understand how to exercise that power. They, they feel like they’re just one person in this giant ocean of opposition. And so people often feel frustrated and crippled and unsure of how they can exercise that power.

So early on, when I decided to run, I realized, just like it sounds like you do, that real power, real change only comes when people embrace the power, as you’ve put it, that is already theirs. But people have to understand how they can exercise that power. And how they do that is by us collectively uniting, having a unified voice that then brings about real change. Obviously, in California we have a form of direct democracy where the people can largely influence laws. We saw that with Proposition 36, which wasn’t a top down initiative. It was a grassroots movement that did a lot of good.

It led to Proposition 36. I listened to your interview with Sheriff Bianco and obviously he touched on that. But again, that was brought about because the people came together as a coalition. And so, you know, early on I understood that again, for for real change to happen, it has to come not through one single leader, but through a unified body of the people. So Restore California provides that, that forum, that infrastructure, if you will, for people to, to unite. So good. So good. I’m hearing integrity, I’m hearing trust. So let me ask you, you were in the military, correct? Yes, yes, I was in the Navy.

You were in the Navy? My husband was in the Navy as well. Military. Pretty awesome. Your military service and business background are central to your campaign. Are there any gaps in your resume or personal life, such as financial struggles or past political activities, that you’ve not disclosed yet publicly? No, none. This is my, this is my first run for public office. I was in the military for, for two years. I got out due to a knee injury. So I was medically and honorably discharged. And then, you know, I spent a few years just in my early 20s, not really sure what I wanted to do, but I have spent the last 20 years as an entrepreneur.

Fantastic. Fantastic. All right, let’s talk a little bit about policy and vision. Well, actually let’s, let’s, let’s go through, let’s go through housing. Let’s touch on housing in California. We know that that’s a pretty big issue. I think both of our last, our former candidates spoke about that. So what’s your take on housing and how will you shift what’s happening in the state of California? Yeah, so obviously housing. And really I’ll kind of bundle that into another statement that my leader leading issue, although I understand that, that we Have a serious problem with crime, with homelessness, with.

You touched on the water crisis earlier. The leading issue for me is the economy. That is the leading issue for me. And so obviously housing, you know, is closely tied to the economy in California. It’s just out of control. I mean, the, you know, the median price to purchase a single family home in California is just over $800,000. That’s four times the national average. California, as we all know, is just becoming impossible for more and more individuals and families to stay here. The solution to that is really threefold, if you will. One, we have an issue with environmentalism.

I believe that excessive environmentalism leads to a lot of these issues that we see not just in housing, but in other areas as well, like the water crisis. Environmentalism prevents housing from being developed that otherwise could be developed. We also have issues with zoning. We have many areas throughout the state that only allow for a certain kind of real estate to be developed. So things like multi family units, multi use dwellings just aren’t possible in a lot of areas. And not everybody wants to live in a detached single family home, nor can they aff. So we have, we have, we have a zoning issue as well.

And a lot of it too is, you know, corrupt government. The government as it currently stands, has zero incentive to lower the cost of housing because if they did that, then they’re losing revenue from the property tax side. So, you know, there’s the issue there as well. But we need to, we need to roll back excessive environmental regulations. We need to lose to a certain extent, zoning laws that really restrict real estate from being developed. And we need to do something about the, the corruption in government. Those would be three things that would come to mind.

Yeah, well, how do you plan on getting anything done when you’re in Sacramento? Yeah, exactly. And that, that goes back to what we were talking about with the Restore California movement. So even if a Republican, me or someone else was to become the next governor of California, you’re still dealing with a Democratic supermajority. So how do you get anything done? Now, obviously there’s certain things that the, that the governor can do, like line item vetoes and executive orders and declaring states of emergency and those kinds of things. But again, this is why we need a coalition of the people.

And what we see now is the government making decisions that in large part go against the will of the people. Well, well, if you had a coalition of people like we saw with Prop 36, and you had a Republican governor that wasn’t able to get things passed through the legislature, because he or she would be dealing with a Democratic supermajority. Well, then you tap into that coalition of people and you get things done through a ballot measure. Okay, I got that. So California’s electorate leans heavily Democratic. What’s your strategy to flip the state red? And how would you appeal to urban voters in places like Los Angeles and San Francisco who often reject conservative platforms? Well, I think the reason why.

Well, first of all, I think there is a political shift taking place in California. I wouldn’t say California is currently red, but it’s certainly shifting. We saw in the last presidential election, you know, 10 counties that flipped from blue to red. So there is this, there is this paradigm shift, I believe, that’s taking place in California. People are reconsidering their positions. You know, you mentioned the LA wildfires. I think that’s, you know, done a lot to jolt people. Obviously with the recent LA riots, you know, we’ll see what effect that has on people’s political positions. But look, I think the reason why a lot of conservatives have been rejected in California is because they have lacked a clear, well thought out, well articulated vision.

I think that’s the, that’s, that’s the number one cause. What you hear and not to, not to, you know, poke fun at other Republicans or Democrats for that matter. But they are very good at describing the problem, but not so good at articulating a clear vision. And not just a clear vision, but a clear vision that, that resonates with the people of California. So what is the leading issue among the people of California? Whether they’re Republican, Democrat, independent, undecided? It’s the economy, it’s the cost of living. That’s the leading issue. Second, second or third to that would be, would be crime and homelessness.

But, but the economy is directly tied to these other issues. If you make California more affordable, it will have a positive impact on crime, homelessness and these other issues that we see. See. So I believe that’s why a lot of times that conservative candidates have failed in the past. A lack of a vision. Well, let’s talk about that. So you’re a Christian. The Bible says in Habakkuk, write the vision, make it plain so that he who reads it may run with it. And it also says, where there’s no vision, the people perish. So give us a vision of a California, California that is run by you and we the people.

You bet. You bet. Well, I think it starts again with developing a coalition of people so that the people actually have the power and they have the know how, how to exercise that power. That is, that is fundamental to having a California that works for everyone. And obviously that’s, that’s something you largely believe as well. So I know we’re, we’re in alignment on that. So. But more from a policy position. Again, you have to make California a affordable for the everyday person. Now there’s different ways that you can do that, but one thing you have to do is either lower the cost of living by removing things like state income tax.

So that’s a big part of my, my vision for California is completely removing state income tax. You also have to make California not just more affordable for the everyday person, but more affordable for small businesses. When you have people, families and businesses that are leaving the state. I mean, California lost 1 million people in the last 10 years. It makes California actually more expensive for the everyday person because then more taxes are required because you have less people. And the problem just keeps getting worse and worse. So you need to have a foundation, a coalition of people who are willing to fight collectively to make change happen, happen.

You have to make California more affordable by removing corrupt government, by exposing them, by rolling back regulations that make it impossible to afford to live here. And then you have to do things that incentivize individuals, families and small businesses to actually want to come here. So those would be three high level ways that we would, we would accomplish that and that would be my high level vision for California. And what would, let’s actually land that plane. Let’s bring it down to the family unit. What would be the impact on the family unit and every city, every county of California.

Exactly. So this is about strengthening, strengthening and encouraging families. And I think you and I may have, may have touched on that when we met in person, but that’s really what this is about. And the policies that we currently are under in California, the cost of living, this has put an incredible amount of stress. It’s literally destroyed some families. When you have parents, especially, you know, if children are being raised in a single parent household, you have one parent who’s got to work two, three, four jobs, they can’t spend time with their children. It’s just, it’s incredibly destructive.

So when, when you make the economy better in California, when you make California more affordable for the everyday now you’re allowing parents to spend more time with their children, you’re allowing spouses to spend more time with each other. They just have more time, less stress to be able to create a better quality of life for themselves and their family. So it’s positive all the way around. And then it bleeds into other things like it lowers crime. In fact, 85% of incarcerated males in California come from single parent households. So these issues are inextricably linked. Crime will go down, homelessness will go down.

It just, it makes everything better in terms of the issues that we, that we currently face. All right, let’s now traverse to education. We mentioned education a little bit in the beginning. So you’ve called for addressing failing schools. Do you support expanding school choice through vouchers or charter schools? And how would you counter opposition from the teachers union in. Yeah, exactly. So our public school system is, is not run by school boards. It’s run by the teachers unions, as you, as you just mentioned. Yes, I am for expanding the voucher system. I believe that that puts control back into the hands of parents.

Currently, what you see in California, and it’s, it’s, it’s not limited to California, but students follow the money. So when the tax dollars flow into the public school system, that’s where the students are, are more than likely to go. Because, you know, most families can’t afford to pay property taxes that go to the public school system. And then on top of that, pay thousands of dollars a month to send their kids to private school, or they may not even have the option to homeschool. So we need to reverse that. Instead of having the students follow the money, we need to have the money that follows the students.

And through the voucher program, you’re creating a healthy sense of competition for the teachers unions. And right now, they have no incentive to get their act together because they have the money and therefore they have the power. So the voucher system really puts more power back in the hands of parents, and it incentivizes the public school system to get their act together, because now they really are competing with homeschooling or private schools or even more so charter schools. Okay, I got that. I love it. I love it. I’m a mom of four, so those things are important.

So let’s talk a little bit. Since we’re talking about education, children, families, things, let’s touch on human trafficking. That’s a subject that most people avoid. They don’t, you know, there’s a cognitive dissonance there. So as a Christian, how do you navigate through what is not being dealt with in this state in regards to human trafficking? Yeah. So, you know, generally speaking, and it’s not limited to human trafficking, but we have a state that allows criminals to be criminals. I mean, you even See that with the current riots that are going on. And so when you allow crime to run rampant, you’re going to have more crime in every imaginable way.

And this is why it goes back to what I said in the beginning. The fundamental role of government, to put it a different way, is to restrain evil. When you allow evil to run rampant, when it goes unrestrained, you’re gonna, you’re gonna have more human child trafficking, you’re gonna have more violence, you’re gonna have more theft, etc. So again, it starts with someone who has a proper view of the role of government and being willing to just enforce laws that are already in place. So leadership is a huge part of it. Just in general, we also need to work with federal agencies like ICE as it relates to protecting and securing our border.

Obviously, just letting criminals into the state of California is not helping the situation. So we need to secure our border. We need to get rid of dangerous sanctuary policies that incentivizes and allows these kinds of people to remain. So those would be a few things, but we need to not have a, a soft view of crime. We need to go after these people and we need to hold them accountable to the fullest extent of the law. And so those would be a few things that would come to mind. Very good, Very good. So you aim to restore the California dream.

Right. What specific measurable goals would you set for your first term? And if you don’t meet them, how should voters hold you accountable? Yeah, so two things would come to mind. One, as I mentioned earlier, I have a plan to eliminate state income tax in California specifically by the end of, of year. Three, to completely obliterate state income tax for those who earn a quarter of a million dollars a year or less. So that’s a, that’s a clear milestone that I can be held accountable to. The other one is, is homelessness. I’ve worked in affordable housing for, for six years.

I know exactly how to address the homelessness crisis. My goal within the first year would be to reduce homelessness by 30%. Now, how should I be held accountable? Well, obviously, as an elected official and as somebody who would be governor as a, as a first term governor, the people would hold me accountable by not voting for me again. You know, should I not live up to those, to those promises and those expectations? Obviously, if I was to do something criminally, which I wouldn’t do, then I should be held accountable according to the law just like anybody else.

But yeah, those would be a few goals that would come to mind. Okay, I got that now let’s take a deeper dive into homelessness. So I just heard that you’re going to take that down by 30%. Did I hear that correctly? Yeah. Okay, fantastic. So give me a picture, paint a picture. Show me when your teams are in place how this is going to function. You know, what are you going to do to clean up the mess that Gavin Newsom has made, number one, and what structure will be in place that will actually guarantee success? Yeah, absolutely.

So it’s a three phased approach. And before I just get into that, let me just give you a little bit of background on my experience with affordable housing. So I. Right. My prior company, Calvary Properties, purchase and rehabilitated nearly 100 single and multi family dwellings. A lot of them went to house the homeless. Wow. Here’s what I learned and, and I’m glad I learned these things because it is, it has directly influenced my solution for homelessness in California. I work with Section 8 local governments and, and a lot of these folks were just given everything. I mean, they were given free rent, their utilities were paid, paid, they were given vouchers for food.

I mean, the barrier to getting back on their feet was as low as it could possibly get. They were literally giving everything. All they had to do was go live behind closed doors. And so I was providing the housing for them, but I was also working with these individuals, you know, firsthand. So I got to have conversations with them, get to know them. Here’s what I found. Within six months, even though these people were given everything, within six months, 95% of them were right back out on the street. They returned to crime, prostitution, and homelessness. And so I, I almost gave up on the whole idea of helping the homeless.

And I came across an organization one day called Oxford House. So anyone who’s listening that has a desire to want to fix homelessness in California, they should look up Oxford House. I hadn’t heard of them at that. At that point, representative contacted me. They wanted to see a larger property that I had available. I met with him and he says what we do is we vet people who are either want to get off the streets or coming out of prison. And we rent these larger houses from property owners and then we turn around and rent rooms out to these individual people.

They have rules. They can’t drink, they can’t have people of the opposite sex over. They have to be gainfully employed. But they’re paying a small, reasonable amount of rent to rent this room. I gave him a shot, Kim. One day I walked into one of These houses. Now, this house was occupied by 12 men who were either formerly homeless or formerly incarcerated. They had been living there for six months. The rent was never late. And I walked into this house, it was immaculate. I mean immaculate. You could still see the lines from the vacuum cleaner where they had had vacuumed the carpet.

I was blown away. And I would go on for five years to rent multiple houses to Oxford House. Never once had an issue. And I asked myself one day, why does this work? But why doesn’t it work when you just give people a bunch of free stuff and put them behind closed doors? Here’s why. And it goes back to what we’ve been talking about. Because you can give people all the freebies you want and make it, make it in every imaginable way possible for them to get back on their feet, to have a safe, clean place to live.

But unless you restore the family unit, it’s not going to work. And this is where I differ from other candidates. Usually what you’re going to hear when you ask that question, how do you solve homelessness? They’re going to talk about drug addiction, they’re going to talk about mental health. And those are serious issues that need to be addressed. Don’t get me wrong, they’re going to talk about getting people housing and feeding them and all this kind of stuff. But if you do not restore the family unit, it, they’re going to go right back out in the streets because their environment doesn’t change.

What they do is they just bring the street into the place that they’re living and the situation just doesn’t change. Oxford House works because these people are brought into an environment where there’s rules. They have a house government, they have a family like structure. And now they have a sense of dignity, they feel respected and they turn their lives around. That’s the key. Key. That’s the key. Everything else is just symptomatic. If you don’t address the family structure, you’re just dealing with symptoms. And that’s exactly why in California, Newsom has spent well over $20 billion on homelessness to do these things like project Room Key, where they’re renovating motels and just put you behind closed doors.

And homelessness has gone up over 30% in the last five years. You got to address the family. Well said. Well said. Addressing the family. I got that. So do you see that, that once you’re in position as governor, do you see that, you know, taking on homelessness, setting, setting the people up for success? Do you see that trickling down into the family unit across the state. Yeah, I do, I do. Because a big part of my position in terms of how to restore California is getting communities involved. And just to go back to the homelessness crisis is one third of the homeless population statistically doesn’t need to be homeless.

The reason they’re homeless is because they’re incentivized through various, you know, government freebies to live on the streets. They’re capable of being employed, they’re capable of, you know, living somewhere, but they’re incentivized to be homeless. If you remove those incentives, if you remove or scale back those freebies, you’re going to take care of one third of the problem right out of the gate. And that’s why when I mentioned before about, you asked about my goals, that’s a low hanging fruit goal, is to reduce homelessness by 30% just by rolling back the things that incentivize homeless individuals.

Yeah, yeah, go ahead. No, go on, go on. Yeah. And so phase two of that would be getting people into 90 day temporary shelters where temporarily they’re given the things that they need. Like, like, like a, you know, a warm bed, a warm meal. They’ll be provided with, you know, mobile showers and restrooms and that kind of thing. They’re getting provided with job training, skills. But a big part of that is vetting these people to understand, okay, who are they? And, and like some of your other guests have mentioned, if you have people that have warrants out for their arrest, they need to be turned over to the local law enforcement or if they’re here illegally, turn them over to federal agencies like isis.

Some people just need long term mental health. I get that they can’t be rehabilitated. They need to get the hospitalization that they need. But you identify those people that are, that are capable of getting back on their feet. That’s about 2/3 of the homeless population. One third refuses to do it because they’re incentivized. The other third could do it if they had a little bit of help. That’s statistics. So if you give them that little bit of help, help and then you get them into long term facilities like Oxford House or returning them back to their, to their family, if they have a healthy, loving family they can get support from.

You’ve taken care of 2/3 of the homelessness problem right there. And because the long term housing solution like Oxford House requires no taxpayer funding, it’s not a huge lift from taxpayers. Even the 90 day temporary shelters part of my plan and David Serpa touched on this. In terms of unused land, we also have tens of millions of square feet of unused commercial and industrial real estate that the government could rent, which would further bolster the economy by giving money to these property owners. The government could rent, and they could. And we could turn it into these, you know, temporary shelters for that.

Phase two of what I’m talking about. Okay, I got that. I got that. So imagine we’re a few months into your. Your position as. As governor of the state of California, and there is a lockdown being issued because there’s another plan demic. I’m sorry, pandemic. Right. So how would you handle that if you’re told, shut your state down and mask up? Yeah, So I think it would depend on the circumstance. Right. So as I heard, one former pastor who did not end up shutting down his church long term, he said, you know, when Covid first came out, just to use Covet as an example, we didn’t know what it was.

You know, it’d be no different if somebody said, you know, a hurricane or a tornado is coming to your town. Everybody take cover. Well, you would. You would take cover until you can more accurately determine the severity of the issue. So in the short term, it might make sense to lock down until you can identify what the issue really is and then take appropriate steps from there. But what we saw in the COVID days was a total abuse of power and a total attempt to. To control the people and to destroy the economy. But, yeah, that’d be my thing.

The goal of government is to protect the people. If a threat comes your way, you. You do what you need to do to protect the people, and then. And then deal with the issue as you get more information appropriately. Yeah, okay, I got that. I got that. Constitution. When you hear the word constitution, what comes to mind for you on that personal level? And then what comes to mind for you on that governmental level? Yeah, so personally, again, going back to scripture, you know, Scripture teaches us to obey those who have authority over us. We see that taught at the family level.

We see that taught at the church level. We see that taught specifically as it relates to government. And. And those who rebel against government ultimately rebel against God because God has established, established government. The only time that someone, again, looking at this biblically, should be allowed to rebel against government is if the government is acting in opposition to clearly what God’s will is. So, like, one example would be if. If the. If the government tried to push an agenda where Christians weren’t allowed to preach the gospel. Well, we would do that anyway because the Bible teaches us to go into the world and make disciples.

But you know, those, at least in the current situation that we have with our, with our country and our state, there’s not going to be many issues where someone needs to really rebel against the government. So to answer your question more specifically, as it relates to the Constitution, personally and from the perspective of government, I aim to walk obediently according to the laws of the Constitution. And therefore, as governor, I would aim to do the same. Not just the US Constitution, but the state constitution. Got that, Brandon? Brandon, what are you unwilling to compromise and what are you willing to compromise? Yes, I would be unwilling to compromise on matters of principle.

Right. But I would be willing to compromise perhaps on different paths to address certain policy or certain policy positions or certain issues that are, that our state is facing. So, so I’d be willing to compromise perhaps on the path, but I wouldn’t be willing to compromise on principle. Okay, I got that. And a few questions remaining. And you’re great. You’re like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Give me the next question. Let me get an answer, Let me get an answer. Okay, let’s talk election integrity. That’s a really big deal. You know, Lewis Herms touched on it.

I don’t think we touched on it so much with David, but let’s really nip that one in the Buddha. So what’s your stance on election integrity? How do you feel? Do you feel like you actually have a fear, a fair chance in this election? And whatever your answer is, what can we do to solidify that elections are fair and honest and the peace people’s voices are heard? Yeah, yeah. Interesting question. Do I have a fair shot? You know, I think it’s too early to tell. I think as we get closer to the end of this year, it’ll become more, more evident, you know, just realistically where people stand in this upcoming election.

Obviously we have a lot of candidates running on, on both sides, but I think it’s just too early to tell. You know, in terms of election integrity. That’s, that’s, that’s an interesting topic. I guess the angle I’ll take, which I think is kind of part of what you were hinting at is making sure that all candidates have a, have a fair voice. And I think the two other men that you interviewed prior to me also touched on this, is that. How can I put this? What I’ve noticed is the California GOP doesn’t allow lesser known candidates like myself to have an equal voice as it relates to, you know, more, more prominent candidate, candidates.

And you even see that in different, you know, online publications where they, they cherry pick who they’re going to mention as a Republican candidate. And so in my view that’s a, that’s a lack of integrity because you’re, you’re, you’re only giving the public selective access to the, the totality of voices that are out there as it relates to people that are, that are running for office. People need to have, have an opportunity to hear from everyone equally and therefore they can make the best informed decision when it comes time to vote. And so I think that by doing that and by being selective and cherry picking, it does show a lack of integrity as it relates to this election.

Yeah, yeah, very good. And you know, that’s why we’re doing what we’re doing with the governor face off, because the voices deserve to be heard and we’re not all about the GOP choosing their top, top candidates. Now we do understand that everyone that’s listening right now, the biggest issue for Californians that, that want to really shift California is they know that in order to take the state back, if we’re going to make it red, make California great again, is that we’ve got a lock and load on a candidate. So if we’ve got a bunch of candidate 26, I think there’s 26 right now.

26, 28 candidates. Well, that’s going to divide the vote, vote. So how do you do that? Well, first off, first of all, everybody deserves to run and to have their voices heard. And then we, the people come together and we decide, is this person going to support our voices? Are they going to do the right thing? Do they share our values? Are they truly the one to take California back? Right. So it’s going to come a point where we’ve got to nail it down or you know, you know, get it to one or two people. It’s going to come to that point.

But this is the time that we all get to play. This is it. This is the time. So I’m so glad, Brandon, that you’re here, that you’re running and so grateful that David Serpa, Lewis Herms, all those that we’ve had on now, there may be a question today that I didn’t get to ask you something that, that you want your fellow Californians to know. What is that? And then I want you to complete today with a call to action for every freedom loving Californian. Yeah, well, yeah, just one thing to address. Your first point is I’m an everyday Californian fighting for everyday Californians.

What we see in our state is, and I hear this on the campaign trail as we’ve done town hall events and just met people along the way, that a majority of people feel completely disconnected from their political leaders. They, they feel like decisions that are made are misaligned with the needs and the wants that, that the people of California actually have. And a lot of that boils down to the fact that we have a lot of political leaders that, that don’t resonate with the everyday pains and struggles that Californians have. I do, I do. I know what it’s like to raise kids here and just struggle to send them to public schools.

I know what it’s like to start a business in California. I’ve started two here in California. I know what it’s like to deal with the high cost of living and gas and buying eggs and all those kind of things. So I want people to know that I’m an everyday person just like they are. And therefore I understand their needs, I understand their wants, I understand their pains. And those are the people that I’m fighting, fighting for. So that would be one thing that I would definitely want people to understand. Again, I’m an everyday Californian fighting for everyday Californians.

And I’m sorry, what was your, what was your second, your second point again? Your second was you have the opportunity right now to call your freedom loving Californians into action. And you said it’s going to be unity. It’s not just you, it’s going to be all of us. So what’s your call to action today as we wrap up today’s take your power back California governor face off. Yeah. So two things would be vote, get out and vote. Don’t underestimate the importance of your single vote get out to vote when, when it’s time. So that’d be, that’d be one thing.

Two, join the Restore California movement. Your, your viewers can do that by going to restoreca.org and just entering their email. Join the growing coalition of Californians that are, that are, that are locking arms and wanting to take action collectively. So those would be two calls to action that I would have. I love it. I’m going to pop that on here. So that is restoreca.org restore ca.org love it. Love what you’re doing.

Hope you’re muted. Kim, you’re muted. Kim, I can’t hear you. I said it’s a hundred degrees in here. I’m sweating like a dog right now. I’m like, oh, my gosh, I have everything blacked out. I’m in studio and I’m like, oh, my gosh, there’s no air in here. It’s getting. Yeah, yeah, No, I, I feel you. I’ve got my life set up and it’s just like I’m in here just absolutely cooking.

But I didn’t know if you were gonna do something there at the end. I didn’t, I didn’t wanna. I didn’t want to bail on you. Oh, you’re amazing. You’re amazing. Yeah, yeah. No, I would, I would have told you for sure, but I’m so grateful. How do you feel like it went? You know, I ramble and that’s probably my, my number one problem that I have is I, I don’t answer something in two minutes. What should be answered in Two minutes. I end up sometimes get, you know, writing a book for people. You know, like my family talks about it.

They say, you know, instead of telling me what time it is, you want to build a watch. I tend to over explain. Are we still live? It says live three minutes, three hours and one minute. Hold on. Are we still live? We might. Oh, my gosh, you guys, we’re live. I. I thought I, I hit the. Okay, this is great. You gotta love this. Hold on. Hello, everybody. Let’s catch you here. Okay, so since we’re live and we’re on the back end end. So. And you stuck around. So before I close it out, let’s do this the right way.

Sure. So that’s so funny that everyone’s. Listen, everyone watch it like, oh, that’s what happened. See how it all finished out and if it. You brought us on. I’m always the last person to leave every event that I go to hang out in the parking lot. Okay. So what I said when I was muted, of course, was that it’s 90 degrees in here and I’m hot and. But I’ll tell you, everybody did such a phenomenal job tonight. And when I look back at the last two round offs we did around face offs. Round offs, the face offs we did, they were powerful.

And I’ll tell you, some of them became pretty controversial. You know, we’ve got. And I’ve gotten calls at the yin yang and people don’t know that, but having a space. Great about your episodes because you’re the first person that’s been able to get everyone on their interview. And what’s interesting is you got more views on your take your power back show than the chamber of commerce did for the gubernatorial debate where they had, you know, the top two Republicans and then, you know, the four Democrats. And there was, I think 720 views on that thing, 500 views on that.

And it’s like people aren’t really paying attention just yet. We still got another year. But, you know, you’re definitely getting attention because it was all the buzz on. On X. I was getting a lot of phone calls. Oh, did you see this episode of what happened on take your power back? So I was all ready to get absolutely nailed to the wall. Kim, I got a text in from sheriff Bianco and Sheriff Bianco, hopefully he’s listening. I’m expecting you, Sheriff Bianco, to shift your schedule to be there with us November 8th. I’m expecting you. We can’t have a debate without you.

Come on. So we Want everybody there. It’s going to be a game changer. And we can’t. The thing is, we’ll probably have to narrow it down. Right. To make sure. Because we can’t have all 26. So those that are serious about their campaign, those are the ones we’re going to be pulling in. But I, you know, Sheriff Bianco had reached out to me. I think it’s okay for, for me to share. And he, he basically said, he goes, gosh, I have done so many interviews, some with a million views. He said, your show is the first show that there was an immediate, an immediate response from the media.

MSN articles started coming out. And so he’s like, you know, whoever is coming up against my campaign, I’m going to figure it out. But I’m grateful that people are paying attention. And do you notice how early it is in the run? That’s why when people talk about this jungle primary and they’re like, are you going to drop out? Are you going to drop out? Out? I said, you know, this process, we still have another 360 days until the general election. And so we’re, I’m really excited that we’ve started so early because it’s giving us an opportunity to really get to know our candidates, but also get organized.

Because a lot of these people that are running for governor, I’m hoping that some of them are going to run for Senate and run for assembly and run for other positions in the executive branch or run for local government. You know, I’m not encouraging anybody to drop out in any way, shape or form. But I think that part of this New Founders movement, we could all get on the same page. We could all start exchanging a dialogue. We could all start working together on turning the state around. It doesn’t need to be something where we’re dismissing one another.

In fact, there’s so few people at the table that are really willing to work on a state level. There’s so few movers and shakers that it shouldn’t be hard to get everybody on the same page. Yeah. You know, it’s so funny. Sometimes you feel like you have to be in politics. Right. You’ve gotta, like, I’ve never done politics. What the heck is. I am so not into politics, David. I mean, my vote was stolen in 2020. That was the awakening for me. Right. And that’s how I came into, you know, take our elections back. And that’s.

Right, right. That, that’s the whole story. So. But yeah, I’m a mom. I’m a mom and a grandma. That’s right. The business, my life is busy. I don’t need to be doing this right. It’s very stressful. It’s very stressful. It’s very anxiety inducing to each other, like, are you done saving the world yet? You know, but this is for the next generation. We have a responsibility right now. The window, the window of opportunity is short and opportunity power passes. So we have a window to make a difference right now, to move the needle. And there’s so many of us that are willing to lay our lives down now that.

That’s right. We’ve got generations of people here in California that are unwilling or uncapable to move. And, you know, I’ve got five kids in this house, you know, two of them are graduating from high school next year, got one entering kindergarten. And I don’t want them to have to leave California in order to be successful. And I don’t want, you know, to, to explain to them why I wasn’t able to leave a worthwhile state to them. And so I feel like we do have this window of opportunity and it is disappearing and it’s not going to be there forever.

We do have social media and we have podcasting and we have artificial intelligence, sort of these great equalizers that if you’re willing to get out and work and develop some human infrastructure to support one another, we could really do what Texas did in 1994, which was a deeply blue state for 180 years, only three Republican governors, and now it’s been read ever since. And they put 23 out of 25 seats in one election cycle. That’s the kind of thing that we could do. But we got to get together on it. We got to unite. That’s it.

We gotta, we gotta unite. And so that’s why we’re doing this. That’s why we’re doing these face offs. I love everybody running and I love a lot of these candidates. Even when Sheriff Bianca was like, you know, you don’t like me? I’m like, no, I do. I wanted you to speak at Take our border back. I do like you. I’m asking the questions that the people they’re asking. They want to know and they deserve to know. And that was very obvious. I felt like throughout the course of your interview you were very, hey, listen, I, I’m with you, Sheriff, you know, and I feel like he’s done a good job cleaning up his message and, and, and whatnot.

Not. I do, you know, I understand that he was a Little bit irritated, he felt a little bit called out. But the thing is, is we do need to get called out right now, and that’s sort of. That goes with the territory. Yeah, well, you know, we’re going to get some pushback. We’re going to get some. Some, you know, competition, some debate, some dialogue, some discord. And, you know, really, that’s the highest dissent, is the highest form of patriotism. You know, I’m kicking back on you because I love you. You know, I’m pushing back on you because I want what’s best for the.

For the state, and that doesn’t mean that I don’t want what. What’s best for you. I mean, you know, Ryan Tillman is just entered the race. I think he’s a great guy. I think he could be a great. He’s on. On the 17th. We’ve got Ryan on the 17th. I really. I love Ryan. I’ve talked to Ryan on the phone several times. You know, great guy. You know, Daniel Mercury. I love Daniel. I love that brain that is between Daniel’s ears. I love that both of them have a heart for service. They were both willing to get shot at.

You know, Ryan as a police officer and. And, you know, Daniel in the Navy. You know, I. These are guys that. I understand them, and I think that their heart is in the right place, their mind is in the right place. You know, and that goes for a lot of the people on the ticket. I just feel like finding the right people, you know, like for Secretary of State. I think Christine Bish would be amazing. I think Jack Guerrero would be a great controller. You know, I think this guy Hutch would be a great treasurer. You know, I’ve talked to attorney generals all over the state, attorneys all over the state.

Not very many people want to leave a private practice where they’re making $1.52 million a year. Headache of California. I. I would agree. I would agree. Well, David, I think we should close out the show since it didn’t get closed out the first time, as you can see, Conversation. Kim. But here’s what I think we should do, though. I think that. I think we should pray it out. And I think I. I’ll. I’ll kickstart it. I’ll dial up. You hang up. Okay. I’ll go first. You go after me to close it out. Does that sound good? Sure.

Okay. All right, let’s do it. Father. Well, God, what an opportunity. Father, nothing happens by mistake. Father, you are an incredible orchestrator. And, God, we just love you so Much, Father. We pray for the state, the state of California, this, this home that you’ve planted us in. Father God, those that live here and pray for our great country. Father, we pray for victory over the enemy. We pray, Father God, that you bind up that enemy that has come to. To kill, kill, steal and destroy. We bind him up in the name of Jesus. I speak that into life right now.

He will not have his way in this state anymore. No more. The warriors are here. The remnant is here. We are taking our California back. Father, we just love you. We praise you. I pray that you bless every candidate, bless their families, put a hedge of protection over them. Father God, for every listener right now that stayed on that’s laughing in the background going, oh, they’re crazy. I can’t believe, believe she did that. Well, yeah, because I’m not perfect, right? But for every single one of them, God bless them. Bless them, God. They’re here. They could have been anywhere else.

And for those that are listening, maybe after all of this is done, Father, God bless them too. Father, I pray that this time with what we’re going through in this country right now, with what’s about to happen with, with Iran and Israel and the United States and war and rumors of war. Father, there’s nothing new under the sun. Your word talks about all of. Of this, Father, but we are not victims to it. We are victors. We know where the victory is. We know we’ve already won. Help us to stand firm, to put a stake in the ground and say, I’m in this to the end.

I will continue to speak. I will continue to show up. I will be love, Father. Give us the abundance of love. Give us. Give us the tenacity, the. And the person perseverance, Father God. And no matter what happens, remind us that through suffering we are refined. You say that no discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. But in the end, it produces a harvest of righteousness by those that are trained by it. And Father, you remind us over and over, you who began a good work in us, will carry it out to the very end.

And that we have nothing to be afraid of. So we will walk in love. We will walk in faith. Father, we love you. You. We praise you, we thank you. And we just pass it over to David. In Jesus name. Amen. Father, you know, I’m not one to pray on the steps of the church, but where two or more are gathered there, I am. And you know, Kim and I are here. You know, we know that there are people that are watching right now they’re here, gathered with us. And we want to thank you for being out in front of us.

We want to help. We want to thank you for guiding our words, for sending your holy spirit out in front of us, you know, to guide us, to guide our words, to guide our works, to make sure that the right people are put out in front of us. And we want to thank you for helping us to recognize them by their works when they’re placed in our path, which is your path, Lord. And we want to thank you for filling us up with love and filling us up with understanding and with patience for even people that we might not understand and that we might feel initially angered by, to see.

See you in them. Lord, we want to thank you for giving us the ability to meet people at the wall, to meet people at their sin, to help them to stand up and to go forward and to send no more. Lord, we want to thank you for providing a state for us to build your kingdom, for us to. To disciple people into your kingdom. Because even if they’re not believers, Lord, we know that you’re working in your region, reaching for them. You’re reaching for their heart. You’re reaching for their mind. You’re. You are out in front of them, helping them to see you and all of your works.

And though they may not call you father, and they may not yet call you God, and they may not recognize your son, we. We know that you are on their heart. You are on all tongues. You are. And that we are called to go and to make disciples of all nations. And. And that is not with the sword. That is with your tongue, that is with your spirit, that is with your patience and with your love. And I want to ask for your discernment, Lord, that you help us to understand what is of you, that is of love and that is not of judgment and that is not of harsh criticisms, that you help us to be righteous, that you help us to find the tables where you would prepare a place for us in front of our enemies, and that there’s so many places where you will be be providing us to sit down with our enemies and to have the patience to sit at those tables and to.

To dialogue with these people and to be guided by your words, your strength, your knowledge, and your wisdom with your people, Lord. And I just want to thank you for placing Kim and I together here at the end of this call with everyone who’s still watching, because we know that if they’ve gone three hours into this, they’re looking for trouble. Truth they’re looking for answers. And we hope that you help us to find the answers. You place the answers on our hearts and our minds to understand when we are anointed to walk with you, Lord, and when we are called to check our ego and to fall in and to be the hands and feet and to serve without recognition, as so many throughout scripture have been served, have served without recognition to carry, carry the cross for you for just a moment so that you could continue to carry your cross and, and to be torch bearers for those who could no longer carry that torch and to be good disciples and to also find disciples to continue to follow.

We are grateful that the Republican Party has been your home, your, your place where you fill people with, you know, the compassionate conservatives that, uh, need to be placed in, out in front of them. And we want to ask you finally, Lord, that you ask us or that you guide us in having discernment within our own ranks to check one another when we are losing our path, when we are losing our patience, when we are giving way to anger. And because it is not anger that’s going to guide us away from the next civil war, it’s not anger that’s going to help us to bring the kingdom of heaven at hand.

And it’s not anger that it’s going to help us. It is love. Love. And, and we thank you for, for being of love and get sending us your son so that we had a, a solid example for who to follow and how to lead. And in your name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. And you know, God has a funny way of doing things. I’m going to share this on the screen right now. This is the Red Rev 17 event. So guys, if you’re still listening, what do you need to do next? You need to be a part of this.

This is Rev 17. So one of the things that David and I were talking about earlier. David, I’m going on the side. You can go to the side too. That way they can see us go the other way. The other way. Oh yeah, squeeze the middle. Rev 17 event. Piece of heaven. That’s pieceofheaven life. I’m gonna put this here and I’ll be there Friday and Saturday. Oh, so good. We’re gonna be both be their piece of heaven. Dot life. I’m putting that in here right now. I don’t have my glasses on, but I think that that’s exactly what it says.

You got to love readers at this point. Ah, come on. It’s telling. Come spend some Time with us up in Northern California. There’s three days of education, you know, lots of great speakers. We are going to end human trafficking in the state of California. It’s biblical that it will be ended within one hour. And so the thing is, if we’re following, you know, orders, if we’re, you know, aligning ourselves with other soldiers in the fight, this is where to find them. And so it’s going to be a great brainstorm. It’s going to be followed by three days of educational opportunities on how to spot trafficking, how to find a Romeo, how to protect your children on social media, you know, and where this is happening throughout the state of California.

And also it’s, there’s going to be a mastermind that’s being led on, on how to stop this. So it’s a really great thing. We cannot affect change if we’re not willing to work for it. That’s right, that’s right, that’s right. I love it, David. I love, love, love that you just took over there. I’m so grateful because I was trying to log a thing in, but that’s exactly what it is. It’s so funny because we didn’t plan this, guys. Rev 17, you can go to PeaceOfHeaven Life. Go get your tickets to it and I will tell you if you can be there.

It is in Yuba City, California. Lara Logan. Logan speaking. I mean, look at the lineup. It’s an incredible lineup. It’s an honor to be on stage with these guys, right? David’s gonna be there and if you just can’t be there, then one of the things you want to do is you want to show up right here, right here on this take your power back show because we’re going to be streaming it live. So with that’s the real deal. These people are the real deal. A lot of people, they don’t know where to get started when it comes to getting engaged in the fight against human trafficking.

But you know, Basil Baz, you know, come and listen to that guy speak. Lee Dundas, you know, she’s been involved in it, fighting human trafficking in other countries and now she’s coming back home. You know, she’s probably gonna end up getting a job in the administration. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it. That’s right. So you know, there’s a lot of really great people that are in the fight and you just need to find out where you, where you. Come on, come on. You’ve got Dr. Douglas G. Frank. He is our world renowned expert in Election integrity.

We’ve also got Doc Pete Chambers. Doc Pete Chambers was on Tucker for us for the Take Our Border Back event that we led across the country. We love Doc Mark Anthony. Mark Anthony is a co founder of Take Our Border Back. We work closely together and I’m telling you, when you’re talking about rescuing the kids, you want to definitely have a conversation with him. The lineup here, Pastor David Bryant. We’ve got Mary Flinger, Moflan’s sister. I mean these guys are 100, 100 all in. Craig Sawman Sawyer. Love him. Veterans for Child Rescue, one of my dear friends and Mary Crowley.

I just, I was just at her event, spoke at her event. I, I just hugged the cross. I said, guys, remember how President Trump hugs the flag? I’m gonna hug the cross right now. It’s exactly what I did. But guys, you want to be there, show up and you can go to PeaceOfHeaven Life to get your tickets. We love you. We’re looking forward to seeing, seeing you and celebrating. This was not planned, but David, it shows you that God’s in control. Yes, ma’ am. Absolutely. All right, it is, it’s now 3:20 and I think it’s time to end the stream.

What do you think? Absolutely. Thank you so much for leading the way in unifying the candidates and getting people together. It’s, it’s such a needed thing and I’m looking forward to November 8th, my friend. A. Me too. David, you’re the best. I appreciate you. Thanks for hanging out. I see the good things come when you stick around. The best best is yet to come. God bless you. Good night, David. Have a great night tonight and God bless you to every single one of you.
