1:20

didn't do these polls survey usa and the

1:22

san diego tribune they did a statewide

1:24

1:26

1:27

challenger against newsome amongst all

1:29

1:42

that we had in august this which is

1:44

after my court case where uh we we had

1:47

to rebrand and we couldn't use meet

1:48

kevin uh we wanted to have kevin meet

1:51

kevin paffrath on the ballot so we could

1:53

include my nickname because most people

1:55

know me as meet kevin

1:56

we weren't allowed to do that we fought

1:58

in court we got a judge basically who

2:01

pre-decided our case

2:02

you can actually see the entire case

2:04

there's a link to it on twitter if you

2:06

scroll down to the end of july you could

2:08

see the entire court case if you wanted

2:10

to but so we've had a lot of challenges

2:12

already we haven't let that stop us so

2:14

far

2:15

but anyway this poll has us leading a

2:17

second poll came out at a similar time

2:19

2:21

2:23

these other names look at this this

2:25

2:29

people combined on wednesday wednesday

2:32

2:36

cox faulkner and kylie i beat all of

2:39

them combined in both polls with a

2:42

margin look at this these three combined

2:44

is nine percent i beat them by four

2:46

percent over here ten five that's 15

2:49

plus 3 that's 18. i beat him by 9

2:52

combined i'm beating those other

2:54

competitors this becomes important those

2:56

are the two most recent polls

2:58

uh and there are two very appropriate

3:00

ones from august especially since now

3:02

we're branding as kevin paffreth take a

3:04

look at this what you need to know about

3:06

the california recall oh okay this is

3:08

interesting what do i need to know talk

3:10

about how the process works blah blah

3:11

blah who's running to replace governor

3:14

newsome

3:15

and so here we have talk about larry

3:17

elder john cox caitlyn jenner kevin

3:21

kiley uh faulkner i'm literally beating

3:24

these three people combined in the polls

3:27

and crushing caitlyn jenner as well

3:29

none all all the only mention about

3:32

democrats here is there are nine

3:33

democrats listed among the replacement

3:35

candidates but newsome in the california

3:37

democratic party are urging opponents of

3:39

the recall to vote no on the first

3:40

question and skip the second question

3:42

wait but where's the leading candidate

3:44

who's saying don't skip the second

3:46

question don't abdicate your american

3:48

duty and actually leave a ballot blank

3:50

that's stupid that's governor newsom

3:53

being a selfish

3:54

loser that's all it is it's newsom being

3:57

a selfish loser it is so stupid to leave

4:00

the second part of the ballot blank but

4:02

don't get me started on that okay that's

4:03

that's just the california democratic

4:05

party gambling with people's lives it's

4:06

so wrong it's messed up it's almost like

4:09

secretly they want a republican because

4:11

they know they would only have a

4:13

republican governor for a year they know

4:15

they would sandbag them or or or any or

4:18

her whatever whoever wins they would

4:20

sandbag them in the legislature because

4:23

we've got a 72 to 75 majority super

4:25

majority of democrats in the legislature

4:27

there's no way they're going to let a

4:29

republican governor get anything done

4:30

before the 2022 election which is just a

4:32

year away so maybe secretly they're like

4:35

sure let people have a taste of

4:36

republican again watch them get nothing

4:38

done and then we'll get a democrat back

4:39

in 2022. it's super shady super super

4:42

shady what the california democratic

4:43

party is doing but wait a minute where's

4:45

where's mention of the fact that there's

4:46

a leading candidate saying

4:48

vote yes on recall and don't leave the

4:51

second ballot blank that's this is like

4:54

just missing information right they just

4:55

totally ignore me in fact if you type

4:57

paf wrath nothing happens but this is

4:59

this is not why

5:01

i want to sue them this this is just

5:04

them purposefully ignoring me but hey

5:08

leaving somebody out is wrong but it's

5:11

not really like against the law right

5:14

take a look at this folks

5:15

posted last night

5:17

the key to california governor gavin

5:20

newsom's fate

5:22

full article here take a look at this

5:24

line folks take a look at this line

5:26

since there are or better yet since no

5:30

democrats are competing against their

5:32

own party's governor the state could end

5:34

up being run by a republican

5:36

a blatant lie

5:39

a blunt blatant disinformation

5:43

campaign to discredit all of the effort

5:46

we've put into this campaign all the

5:48

money we've spent on this campaign cnn

5:51

knows we exist the polls are blatant the

5:54

associated press covers us fox covers us

5:57

they know we exist shows from cnn have

5:59

reached out to consider setting up

6:01

interviews but then never followed

6:03

through on the interviews

6:05

so they know we exist they can't pretend

6:07

we do not exist but for some reason they

6:09

would prefer to spread disinformation

6:11

and lie this is a blatant lie and it's

6:14

wrong and hence i've instructed my

6:16

attorneys to file a cease and desist

6:19

letter so we could start the process of

6:21

suing cnn for the bullcrap

6:23

disinformation lies they spread it's

6:26

wrong it's blatantly wrong and it's

6:28

un-american and i can't stand by

6:30

passively allowing this kind of garbage

6:32

to happen this is this is a machine of

6:35

ugliness and nastiness it's cancerous no

6:38

wonder people hate politics it's so

6:41

disgusting we are the attorneys for

6:43

kevin paphrath also known as meet kevin

6:44

on youtube mr paparath is a leading poll

6:47

a whole leading democratic candidate to

6:49

replace governor gavin newsom in the

6:51

recall election occurring on september

6:52

14th the purpose of this letter is to

6:54

demand you cease and desist your

6:56

erroneous reporting which falsely states

6:58

that no democrats are conce competing

7:00

against their own party's governor they

7:02

should have like

7:03

a big apology blast because this is so

7:06

wrong your website at cnn contains the

7:09

false information your analysis even

7:11

links to a 21st cnn article saying there

7:13

are nine democrats listed as their

7:15

replacement candidates but mr

7:18

collinson's analysis seeks to memory

7:21

whole that truth basically make it as if

7:24

i just don't exist this is so scummy and

7:27

slimy and wrong the fact is kevin

7:30

paffreth is a moderate jfk style

7:32

democrat with emergency action plans to

7:34

finally do what the governor hasn't end

7:36

the water crisis prevent wildfires and

7:38

end the nightly horror of homeless

7:39

individuals dying in california's

7:41

streets mr pafrath intends to solve the

7:43

causes of homelessness disrepair in a

7:45

golden state we're ranked 40th in

7:47

schools that's the bottom 20 percent

7:48

california now has a mental health and

7:50

crime crisis and californians are

7:51

fleeing the state paffrath offers new

7:53

leadership at a time when it's needed

7:55

most and yet your website pushes

7:58

disinformation to california voters

8:00

looking for serious analysis of the

8:02

recall election your editors have

8:04

already been alerted to this truth gap

8:06

in your recall reporting because

8:08

i put them on blast last week about

8:10

their disinformation

8:12

and this could all rise to the level of

8:14

libel and defamation if it doesn't

8:16

already i think it already does but

8:17

anyway since your company a company was

8:19

on notice you knew or should have known

8:21

that mr collinson's analysis was false

8:24

but your company published it anyway

8:26

this demonstrates a reckless disregard

8:29

for the truth either a lack of fact

8:31

checking or printing a false story in

8:34

spite of knowing the facts

8:36

not a good look for cnn but worse is the

8:38

effect on the outcome of the election

8:41

paphrath is certainly a leading

8:42

prominent uh certainly a leading

8:44

candidate and so on and so forth folks

8:47

i'm pissed cnn is blatantly lying and i

8:51

am excited to take them to court

8:55

although

8:56

i'll also be up against

8:58

a lot of democratic judges

9:00

i just hope i can have some remaining

9:03

9:05
