0:00.0	You are a Republican running for governor of California, and you are currently leading the polls.
0:07.0	Imagine that, exactly.
0:08.3	What happened to California, mate?
0:10.8	It's an amazing place being completely ruined, because we've had 15 years of one-party rule.
0:16.0	For the last 10 years, California is 50th out of 56th.

1:25.6	Well, very much in the vein of positive populism, you are a Republican running for governor of California, and you're currently leading the polls. Imagine that, exactly. What happened to California, mate? Well, a lot of bad things. I think that's the point. This is an incredible state, as we can see, it's the most people, we're just talking about it,
