00:02:17.760It's all fake. In Alaska, a Democrat is running as a Republican. His name? Dan Sullivan. Why? I think it's fairly obvious. It will confuse regular voters when there are two Dan Sullivans running for office in Alaska.
00:02:36.680You're going to look at the ballot and you're going to say, I like Dan Sullivan.
00:05:04.600The LA Times has a revealing report about a polling firm that isn't.
00:05:07.820Reporter Noah Goldberg exposes that an alleged pollster called Median Strategies admitted that its data regarding races in the LA mayoral race and Wisconsin race for governor had been fabricated.
00:05:17.360When contacted by Goldberg on the matter, the company delivered a bizarre explanation.
00:05:21.920Median done what appeared to be a standard poll.
00:05:23.900with the kind of metrics commonly involved that have the political wonk class salivating.
00:05:28.380In L.A., with just over 500 alleged respondents were polled with a 4.1 margin of error.0.73
00:05:34.920The research showed incumbent Karen Bass with a sizable double-digit lead,
00:05:39.920and crosstab measures showed voters of former candidate Spencer Pratt supporting Bass by a wide margin.
00:05:46.020The data was less reputable than any found in a middle school science fair when contacted by the Times,
00:05:51.800median fessed up. This I meant to do that comment does little to explain what and why this took
00:05:58.060place, but it serves as a harsh critique of those who used the data. The California Post covered
00:06:04.160median figures in a report, and a number of local news channels in the region also repeated the
00:06:09.240numbers. The mask campaign also cited the poll in a post, but then later took that down and blamed
00:06:14.700it on the post. This poll was reported on by a news outlet. To see outlets bringing up the poll
00:06:20.380means resorting to polling made by a company that was never vetted. Median had no track record of
00:06:26.060polling work, yet the California Post forged ahead with the numbers. The link to the original article
00:06:30.960now redirects to a New York Post piece on the false polling firm, but the URL still supports
00:06:36.080the original headline. Median Strategies also had put out figures on the Wisconsin gubernatorial race.
00:06:42.660It showed Francesca Hong leading by more than 20 points. Hong went on to lose a nail-biter.
00:06:48.520many pollsters had similar and even more audacious returns favoring Hong for these esteemed polling
00:06:55.260companies put out data that was in line with a fraudulent company is a big a condemnation of
00:06:59.780their work as you might find it took the LA Times to figure out the details on this ersatz pollster
00:07:05.480albeit doing so after the fact I'm gonna let you in on a secret my friends let me tell you the story
00:07:11.140about the water research I did in Flint Michigan some of you may know the story but for those that
00:07:15.960don't, it matters to the context of this story. During the height of the Flint water crisis,
00:07:22.420I was working for Fusion, which is an ABC News Univision company. I pitched to the higher-ups,
00:07:30.000hey, let's use a mass spectrometer from the New York University, NYU, to see exactly what's in
00:07:37.820the water. We had reports of lead, of diseases. It was just filthy. Let's go, baby. So sure enough,
00:07:45.120we go and do an interview with one of these professors and he explains the mass spectrometer
00:07:49.160and we said we want to go take samples of the water from various sources in Flint, Michigan,
00:07:52.560bring it back, see what's in it. Why? We had heard that children were drinking lead.
00:07:58.100We had heard that people had contracted various diseases, that the water was polluted with heavy
00:08:02.740metals and other potential contaminants. So what did we do? I got a bunch of vials from NYU.
00:08:11.000This is 10 years ago, like 11 years ago, by the way.
00:08:13.380Went to Flint, and I sourced two samples from two different homes.
00:08:17.380So actually, the way it works is one sample was two vials.
00:08:20.980You want to make sure there's not something.
00:08:22.420So I turned the water on and let it run.
00:15:43.700are we really supposed to accept this remarkable the balance of power
00:15:51.660democrat house and senate yeah well let's pull up 270 to win and we'll get the uh senate
00:15:58.440cal she's got republicans now in the slight favor it's bouncing a favorite bouncing back
00:16:04.020and forth alaska nobody knows for sure but i'm gonna tell you this how is it possible
00:16:08.140for the republicans to win when they're cheating right in front of you
00:16:12.040crazy look at these uh it's making a mockery of our system Mr. Vincent said the sign had
00:16:20.940disparaged from President Biden with profane two-word slogan etc etc Mark Jensen has served
00:16:26.080as St. Peter I'm sorry as Peterberg's mayor for 14 years supports the incumbent senator
00:16:30.600so he's never known the local Mr. Sullivan or any as anything other than a liberal but given
00:16:35.780Mr. Sullivan's denials he was reluctant to accuse him of meddling he said he isn't so I'm not going
00:16:40.780to call him a liar. We are a country of weak people being trampled on by psychopaths because0.90

00:17:22.960you get your podcasts. Something's got to be done about this because we all can see through it.
00:17:29.600I don't care what this guy thinks, this fake Dan Sullivan. He's actually Dan Sullivan,
00:17:34.420my point. I don't care what he thinks and I don't care if he wants to run. The answer is no.
00:17:39.880We don't allow it. You have no serious political ambitions. You never did. You're a no Kings
00:17:45.180Democrat protester and you were attempting to defraud the people of Alaska. He should be in0.65
00:17:50.800jail. This is attempted fraud, attempted electoral fraud. I don't I don't know why we tolerate this.
00:17:58.640On Friday, Trump exhorted Alaska Republicans to vote for the incumbent, posting a graphic saying this crooked, radical left Democrat have put up another man named Dan Sullivan, and they did this to take votes away from our great senator of the same name.
00:18:14.320Republicans have been trying to derail Mr. Sullivan's campaign from the start.
00:18:17.560They said his campaign website bore similarities to the senators.
00:18:20.320They noted that he filed as Dan as Sullivan using the senator's Michelin initial instead of his own.
00:18:29.180He registered as a Republican on the same day he filed to be a candidate and a longtime Democratic consultant, Amber Lee, helped him to file to run.
00:20:42.360They call him Decoy Dan, Sham Candidate Fraud Sullivan, and one of the names in particular,
00:20:47.940Fake Dan Sullivan. I even called him that. I am not a Fake Dan Sullivan. I am Dan Sullivan.
00:20:53.700I've been Dan Sullivan longer than you've been, Dan Sullivan. Indeed. I think you should be in
00:20:59.600jail. These people are scumbags. Let's see the comments. Come on. Let's see what you guys have1.00
00:21:05.220to say. The Alaska Beacon correctly told state voters President Trump's federal spending cuts
00:21:09.220has nothing to do with it. At worst, this is precisely the brand of rat fudgery the Republican
00:21:13.500party should feel at home with. Evil. I am struck by the president and his allies being so agitated.0.97
00:21:19.500Dan Sullivan's campaign bears all the signs of being a reasonable, legitimate effort.0.94
00:21:22.840These people are evil. Sorry. Well, congratulations. AOC is now the front runner.

00:21:35.240Good luck. I don't know what to tell you, my friends. Good effing luck. You know, people say, Tim, you talk about civil war. Guys, they arrested Trump several times, falsely accused him of a whole bunch of crimes, accused him of fraud, arrested his lawyers.
