nearly a fifth before anything is spent.

So the government unions are definitely the bigger problem, no question.

You look at the prison officers, for example, another huge donor, the corrections union.

I mean, they've got this massive prison closure program in California, which is a whole story in itself.

A big part of the story on crime is that, because they've released tens of thousands of dangerous, violent criminals into the community.

Would any of these guys ever support you?

Well, I don't think on the government side, but the point I was going to make about prisons is basically they've cut the number of prisons and reduced the prison population nearly by half, but the budget's doubled.

It's classic California.

Let me get this straight.

You said the budget has doubled, but the amount of people is split.

Yeah, basically.

So it's classic.

If you look at the non-government unions, for example, involved in construction, I think that's where you're right, there should be an alliance because all my career, when I was on Fox, the theme of my show was, I called it positive populism.

I wrote a book, Positive Populism, about how we need to, the ideas that drove that populist movement, Trump, and you can see it on the left as well,

Lifting up workers, working people have been left behind by the policies we've seen before.

100%, that's where I'm coming from.

And a lot of my, the whole themes of my campaign, $3 gas, cut your electric bill in half, your first 100 grand tax-free, a home you can afford to buy, very much with workers in mind, workers and small business.

That's really who I, if there's one group, of course you want to help everybody, but that's really the focus.

So I agree with you.

But the government unions, I think it's their machine.
