Well, California is full of people who love their communities, but real change doesn't

come from complaining.

It comes from showing up.

And young Americans are showing up.

40% of voters, ages 18 to 29, cast a ballot in 2024.

That's nearly half. And volunteerism is rebounding as well. 28.3% of Americans, ages 16, plus,

formerly volunteered.

Now that's good news.

I mean, I really like to hear that our young people are getting involved.

And today I'm talking with Leo Zaki, candidate for governor of California in 2026.

Now, his family's poultry business once employed thousands. And we're not talking about just

local business, regional business, state business. We're talking about an international

business that had to shut down after nearly a century. Now, Zaki chose action over outrage

by getting involved locally and stepping into public service.

He says that this isn't left versus right, it's people versus a broken system.

And he says he's running on solutions, affordability, safety, homelessness reform, and government accountability.

Now, I have to tell you, I've lived in California for most of the last 25 years before I fled.

And I got out of California for reasons that I'll share with you.

A lot of what I just said that you said doesn't sound new to me. I mean it sounds like a lot of

buzzwords accountability and affordability. What's your different approach? Because you have some novel ideas.

And so I really want people to hear them because while those are often used words, your

approach isn't often used.
