WEBVTT - Feed You To A Seal

0:00:03.950 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the

0:00:07.820 --> 0:00:12.090
<v Speaker 1>George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:12.250 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:25.590 --> 0:00:27.610
<v Speaker 3>So per the New York Times, this effort to peel

0:00:27.650 --> 0:00:30.830
<v Speaker 3>off votes from the state's incumbent GOP Senator Dan Sullivan

0:00:30.870 --> 0:00:35.060
<v Speaker 3>began months ago. A staffer from Democratic Senate nominee Mary

0:00:35.100 --> 0:00:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Paltola allegedly received a directive from top campaign aides in

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 3>the summer of 2025. The instructions were simple but unusual.

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.830
<v Speaker 3>Find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as

0:00:46.890 --> 0:00:47.450
<v Speaker 3>you can.

0:00:48.050 --> 0:00:56.430
<v Speaker 2>Pretty clever idea, actually. evil and ridiculous but yeah i

0:00:56.470 --> 0:01:01.810
<v Speaker 2>don't know if i'd call it evil given uh what

0:01:01.900 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 2>we seem to consider inbounds and in election season there's

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 2>all kinds of stuff that happens oh it's all it's

0:01:08.700 --> 0:01:11.980
<v Speaker 2>all it's all not come on for democracy right the

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.490
<v Speaker 2>fact that i'm saying the fact that both parties you

0:01:15.530 --> 0:01:19.429
<v Speaker 2>know buy ads for awful human beings all the time

0:01:19.490 --> 0:01:22.350
<v Speaker 2>the worst example being right now where There's a couple

0:01:22.370 --> 0:01:27.230
<v Speaker 2>of places where Democrats. Or there's even there's a couple

0:01:27.250 --> 0:01:30.310
<v Speaker 2>examples where Republicans are boosting a socialist because they think

0:01:30.330 --> 0:01:34.110
<v Speaker 2>that will drain away from the mainstream Democrat that is

0:01:34.170 --> 0:01:38.830
<v Speaker 2>likely to win. I just I don't like boosting bad candidates. No,

0:01:38.890 --> 0:01:42.580
<v Speaker 2>it's a three dimensional chess, but it happens all the time. Yeah.

0:01:42.660 --> 0:01:42.780
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I think this one this one is especially it's just

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.420
<v Speaker 2>so nakedly meant to deceive the vote. Well, I guess

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 2>all that stuff is, but it's all evil. So do

0:01:50.940 --> 0:01:52.940
<v Speaker 2>we all know this is there's there's more than one

0:01:52.980 --> 0:01:57.170
<v Speaker 2>Dan Sullivan running for the Senate in Cal in Alaska.

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.170
<v Speaker 2>We're on two stations in Alaska, by the way, very

0:01:59.210 --> 0:02:02.630
<v Speaker 2>proudly for a very long time. Dominating Alaska, the Armstrong

0:02:02.690 --> 0:02:04.890
<v Speaker 2>and Getty show. One of the Sullivans is actually the

0:02:04.930 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 2>sitting U.S. senator. The other Sullivan is some guy lives

0:02:08.190 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>in a little fishing village with the same name who

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 2>got recruited, as you just heard, by the Peltola campaign

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.679
<v Speaker 2>to to run and hopefully, you know, drain off enough

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:22.019
<v Speaker 2>votes that she becomes the senator from Alaska. It's not

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 2>against the law to do that. What what I when

0:02:24.460 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>you get into evil to me is if if you're

0:02:26.380 --> 0:02:28.870
<v Speaker 2>Peltola and you're straight out lying to people.

0:02:29.530 --> 0:02:29.730
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah.

0:02:29.910 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>And you get caught by The New York Times. You

0:02:32.580 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>got to own up to it. Anyway, we'll hear from

0:02:34.419 --> 0:02:37.339
<v Speaker 2>her in just a little bit. Madeline Rivera rolls on

0:02:37.380 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>from Fox &amp; Friends.

0:02:38.580 --> 0:02:41.870
<v Speaker 3>The effort reportedly included secret trips to communities across the

0:02:41.910 --> 0:02:44.930
<v Speaker 3>state and even the involvement of an operative named Jared Kurtz,

0:02:44.990 --> 0:02:48.830
<v Speaker 3>who was brought in by Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee aides.

0:02:49.270 --> 0:02:53.050
<v Speaker 3>There's a money trail here as well, reportedly. Per FEC records,

0:02:53.130 --> 0:02:57.990
<v Speaker 3>a pro-Peltola super PAC called 49th State PAC paid Wingspan Strategies,

0:02:58.050 --> 0:03:02.790
<v Speaker 3>a firm co-owned by Kurtz. about $ 87, 000 this fall. The

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.279
<v Speaker 3>Times reports it was Kurtz who had made contact with

0:03:05.419 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 3>one of the Dan Sullivans who, quote, hated Trump but

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 3>liked Mary. Dan J. Sullivan then entered the race. He

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.679
<v Speaker 3>has insisted he is running voluntarily.

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 2>And the idiotic mainstream media acted like that was clearly

0:03:19.220 --> 0:03:22.470
<v Speaker 2>true all this time. What do you mean that he's

0:03:22.530 --> 0:03:25.250
<v Speaker 2>just running to try to dilute the vote so the

0:03:25.290 --> 0:03:28.010
<v Speaker 2>Democrat will win? There's no indication of that. It's just

0:03:28.050 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>a coincidence. Are you freaking kidding me? This guy's a

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 2>lifelong Democrat. No interest in politics. All of a sudden

0:03:35.100 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>decides to run for the Senate. It's got the same

0:03:37.140 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>name as the Republican campaign to lick. Exactly. And not

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 2>only that, he petitioned to have his name as Dan S.

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Sullivan on the on the ballot, even though his name

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>is Daniel J. Sullivan. So it would be exactly like

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the Republican. But according to the mainstream media, including the

0:03:54.340 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 2>vaunted Sunday shows, there's no evidence that this was meant

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.810
<v Speaker 2>to distract the voters or confuse the voters. Oh, my God,

0:04:00.850 --> 0:04:04.590
<v Speaker 2>you people are you're either so blank and stupid. You

0:04:04.630 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be on TV or you're such a degenerate liar.

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.900
<v Speaker 2>You shouldn't be on TV, by the way. Good on

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.500
<v Speaker 2>The New York Times. I got to believe there is

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 2>some pushback in the newsroom because this could very well

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 2>this article that came out yesterday. Get a Republican senator out.

0:04:21.300 --> 0:04:23.820
<v Speaker 2>when a democratic senator might have won i mean this

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 2>could be the the thing that turns the tide on

0:04:26.740 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 2>the old one race which could control the whole senate

0:04:29.580 --> 0:04:31.250
<v Speaker 2>i mean it's a big deal for the new york

0:04:31.290 --> 0:04:35.630
<v Speaker 2>times to do this yesterday yeah um another part of

0:04:35.650 --> 0:04:37.210
<v Speaker 2>the new york times story that was pretty interesting they

0:04:37.250 --> 0:04:39.970
<v Speaker 2>found six or seven dan sullivans who knew there were

0:04:39.990 --> 0:04:43.810
<v Speaker 2>so many dan sullivans uh ooching about yeah i could

0:04:43.870 --> 0:04:46.950
<v Speaker 2>picture that's common enough name but You know, my favorite

0:04:47.050 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 2>aspect of this is the campaign aide who ratted this

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>all out was a Rios is her name. I can't

0:04:53.020 --> 0:04:57.270
<v Speaker 2>remember her first name, but so she goes to the

0:04:57.290 --> 0:04:59.450
<v Speaker 2>New York Times and spills all these beans. I mean,

0:04:59.490 --> 0:05:01.609
<v Speaker 2>tells them all about the plot and they do the research,

0:05:01.750 --> 0:05:05.110
<v Speaker 2>substantiate all of it. And then she comes back a

0:05:05.130 --> 0:05:07.950
<v Speaker 2>few days before they're going to publish and says, I

0:05:07.990 --> 0:05:10.690
<v Speaker 2>retract everything I said. I should not be the basis

0:05:10.710 --> 0:05:13.030
<v Speaker 2>of any news story. I made it all up. Yeah, yeah,

0:05:13.050 --> 0:05:14.970
<v Speaker 2>I was drunk. I don't know what happened. I'm a

0:05:15.010 --> 0:05:17.830
<v Speaker 2>little psycho. Please don't print it. They're like, no, we're

0:05:17.870 --> 0:05:20.110
<v Speaker 2>printing it. Well, she's probably going to get doxxed by

0:05:20.950 --> 0:05:25.270
<v Speaker 2>angry progressives and death threats in her life ruined, probably.

0:05:25.300 --> 0:05:29.820
<v Speaker 2>Melissa Rios. Yeah, she was fired amid a staff shakeup

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.349
<v Speaker 2>in August. And so decided to rat out her former employers.

0:05:34.089 --> 0:05:36.690
<v Speaker 2>And then they threatened her with God knows what they

0:05:36.710 --> 0:05:39.460
<v Speaker 2>do to you in Alaska if you run afoul of

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.500
<v Speaker 2>the powers that be. Feed you to a seal? Tie

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 2>you to a stake? Let the polar bears have their way?

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:50.660
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Strap you to a whale and have

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 2>it swim off. I don't know. One of the questions is,

0:05:54.020 --> 0:05:57.580
<v Speaker 2>was this just an Alaska op or was this known

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.299
<v Speaker 2>at higher levels going all the way to D.C.? Madeline

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:01.140
<v Speaker 2>Rivera continues.

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:05.730
<v Speaker 3>The DSCC saying the DSCC is not involved with Dan J. Sullivan.

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.789
<v Speaker 3>Republicans have a long history of recruiting and propping up

0:06:08.820 --> 0:06:12.270
<v Speaker 3>candidates in an attempt to boost their own campaigns. So

0:06:12.290 --> 0:06:15.250
<v Speaker 3>the Times says it has text messages showing the DSCC

0:06:15.270 --> 0:06:19.690
<v Speaker 3>and Patola's campaign communicated for months about this project. In

0:06:19.830 --> 0:06:23.970
<v Speaker 3>one text, a DSCC employee reportedly celebrated when the Alaska

0:06:24.010 --> 0:06:27.609
<v Speaker 3>Supreme Court ruled the other Dan Sullivan was qualified to run.

0:06:27.990 --> 0:06:30.770
<v Speaker 3>Paltola is also denying the allegations.

0:06:31.210 --> 0:06:34.130
<v Speaker 2>The National Democratic Party was 100 percent aware of what

0:06:34.150 --> 0:06:38.140
<v Speaker 2>was going on there. Oh, yeah. Oh, we're not involved

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.380
<v Speaker 2>with Mr. Sullivan. Oh, good denial. One of the one

0:06:42.420 --> 0:06:44.980
<v Speaker 2>of the number of reporters from The New York Times

0:06:45.060 --> 0:06:47.460
<v Speaker 2>that did this story was on CNN yesterday.

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 4>My understanding is that Mary Peltola was aware of this effort,

0:06:53.100 --> 0:06:55.740
<v Speaker 4>that she wasn't directly involved in these activities, but she

0:06:55.779 --> 0:06:59.820
<v Speaker 4>was kept aware by these were her top aides that

0:06:59.900 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 4>were participating in this plan, as well as the top

0:07:04.460 --> 0:07:08.289
<v Speaker 4>Democratic operatives at the national level, which do ultimately answer

0:07:08.310 --> 0:07:09.510
<v Speaker 4>to Senator Chuck.

0:07:09.370 --> 0:07:10.090
<v Speaker 2>Schumer, as you said.

0:07:10.670 --> 0:07:14.750
<v Speaker 4>His spokesperson said that he did not have any knowledge

0:07:15.010 --> 0:07:18.460
<v Speaker 4>of these activities. But again, it was top Democrats who

0:07:18.500 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 4>were participating in this for close to a year.

0:07:20.740 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 2>If they're smart, they didn't tell Chuck Schumer. They did

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.150
<v Speaker 2>the whole let's not get the boss involved in this

0:07:26.250 --> 0:07:29.410
<v Speaker 2>at any level. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Mary Peltola was not

0:07:29.450 --> 0:07:31.950
<v Speaker 2>directly involved in the effort. No, she wasn't going out

0:07:31.970 --> 0:07:36.010
<v Speaker 2>to brew pubs to try to recruit. Is your name Dan?

0:07:36.050 --> 0:07:39.310
<v Speaker 2>Are there any Dans here? She wasn't doing it personally,

0:07:39.330 --> 0:07:42.950
<v Speaker 2>going and talking to rando Dan Sullivans. She'd hired this

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 2>guy from the Midwest, this political operative, who would call

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.460
<v Speaker 2>up every Dan Sullivan you could find. Evidently, you swing

0:07:51.500 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 2>a dead seal, you hit a Dan Sullivan in Alaska,

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 2>but So he.

0:07:55.840 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 5>Would say, hey, I'm Johnny. Yeah, Johnny's the name. Let's

0:08:00.700 --> 0:08:02.780
<v Speaker 5>meet at the brew pub. I got a proposition for you.

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 5>And he'd buy these guys a couple of beers, and

0:08:04.790 --> 0:08:06.390
<v Speaker 5>they'd be like, no, I got no frigging.

0:08:06.130 --> 0:08:07.950
<v Speaker 2>Interest in that. You got to send that joke to

0:08:08.030 --> 0:08:11.330
<v Speaker 2>Fallon or Kimmel or somebody. Apparently, you can't swing a

0:08:11.390 --> 0:08:14.170
<v Speaker 2>dead seal in Alaska without hitting a Dan Sullivan. I

0:08:14.190 --> 0:08:17.670
<v Speaker 2>would like to know the other Dan Sullivans they contacted

0:08:17.690 --> 0:08:21.670
<v Speaker 2>who said, no. I'd like to know more about those conversations.

0:08:22.010 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Hey, uh.

0:08:23.830 --> 0:08:26.010
<v Speaker 2>Mr. Sullivan, that is your name, right? Dan Sullivan. Any

0:08:26.050 --> 0:08:29.890
<v Speaker 2>interest in running for the Senate as a Republican? I

0:08:29.930 --> 0:08:30.750
<v Speaker 2>got an idea for you.

0:08:30.990 --> 0:08:31.190
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:08:31.830 --> 0:08:34.330
<v Speaker 2>So this guy was going around making up names and

0:08:34.429 --> 0:08:36.910
<v Speaker 2>dragging people to brew pubs, buying them a couple of beers, which, hey,

0:08:37.150 --> 0:08:39.690
<v Speaker 2>you know, square deal as far as I'm concerned. And

0:08:40.390 --> 0:08:43.290
<v Speaker 2>most of them said that's a ludicrous idea. Leave me alone.

0:08:43.580 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the beers. But this one Democrat, Daniel J. Sullivan, said, yeah,

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.089
<v Speaker 2>all right, I'll do it. Let's hear from Mary Peltola herself.

0:08:54.510 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 2>She explains why she thinks this is happening.

0:08:57.390 --> 0:09:00.820
<v Speaker 1>This is just another distraction. It's another diversion.

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 6>Every day it's some new, you know, look over here moment.

0:09:06.100 --> 0:09:09.050
<v Speaker 6>And anybody who's working in our best interest isn't going

0:09:09.130 --> 0:09:11.610
<v Speaker 6>to talk about the nonsense. This is all stuff to

0:09:11.670 --> 0:09:17.429
<v Speaker 6>sell newspapers. This is all stuff to get subscriptions. Nobody

0:09:17.630 --> 0:09:20.450
<v Speaker 6>at the New York Times cares about affordability in Alaska.

0:09:20.929 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 2>What is your response to the GOP and those accusations?

0:09:24.820 --> 0:09:29.140
<v Speaker 6>You know, there's always political theater and shenanigans that seems

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 6>like are going on every election cycle.

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:39.190
<v Speaker 2>All right. I identified this earlier. You're running fake Dan Sullivan's.

0:09:39.590 --> 0:09:44.850
<v Speaker 2>But but inflation. Inflation. But affordability. You're a jihadi, Mr.

0:09:44.910 --> 0:09:48.839
<v Speaker 2>El Sayed. But affordability. You know, no matter what they

0:09:48.860 --> 0:09:50.959
<v Speaker 2>get accused of, they say it's not going to help

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:57.250
<v Speaker 2>Indianans buy eggs. I just caught you with a bloody

0:09:57.290 --> 0:09:58.950
<v Speaker 2>knife in your hand and a corpse at your feet.

0:09:59.550 --> 0:09:59.950
<v Speaker 2>But affordability.

0:10:01.100 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Diesel.

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I like her claiming that the out of control New

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.900
<v Speaker 2>York Times is just out to take down decent Democrats

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 2>across the country. Oh, my God. Just trying to sell newspapers.

0:10:16.740 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 2>They're just trying to get clicks and subscriptions, taking down

0:10:19.300 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 2>a good, hardworking Democrat with way too fashionable glasses for Alaska,

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:28.130
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion. Exactly. Besides, there's always shenanigans. We engaged

0:10:28.210 --> 0:10:32.870
<v Speaker 2>in one single shenanigan, and everybody's acting like it's the

0:10:32.910 --> 0:10:37.110
<v Speaker 2>end of the world. Please. You know what? I think

0:10:37.170 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 2>the key to this is that it's so stupid and

0:10:41.300 --> 0:10:43.739
<v Speaker 2>obvious and insulting to the voters.

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:10:45.210 --> 0:10:50.930
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you claim Joe Getty wants farmers to

0:10:51.030 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 2>starve because I voted against some subsidy. All right, that's politics.

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.610
<v Speaker 2>It's ugly, but it's politics. But trying to run a farm. foe,

0:10:59.730 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Dan Sullivan, just to confuse people. That's just terrible. Yeah,

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.700
<v Speaker 2>I got a question about this, but right after we

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 2>tell you about this, remind you that the Warrior Foundation

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Freedom Station, on Thursday, November 5th, they're having their annual

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.380
<v Speaker 2>Warrior Foundation Freedom Station Give-A-Thon, and this year's Give-A-Thon has

0:11:16.420 --> 0:11:19.630
<v Speaker 2>a very simple mission, raising money to help fly warriors

0:11:19.670 --> 0:11:21.709
<v Speaker 2>home for the holidays, and when a warrior can't travel,

0:11:21.730 --> 0:11:24.490
<v Speaker 2>Warrior Foundation will bring loved ones to them. It really

0:11:24.530 --> 0:11:27.070
<v Speaker 2>is a lovely thing to get families together for the holidays,

0:11:27.150 --> 0:11:30.670
<v Speaker 2>especially those who've sacrificed so much, and Your tax-deductible donation

0:11:30.730 --> 0:11:32.290
<v Speaker 2>is more than a gift. It's a meaningful way to

0:11:32.330 --> 0:11:34.850
<v Speaker 2>say thank you to the men and women who sacrifice

0:11:34.910 --> 0:11:36.850
<v Speaker 2>for all of us. For more than 20 years, Warrior

0:11:36.870 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Foundation Freedom Station, along with the support from our listeners,

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.319
<v Speaker 2>has been helping ill and injured service members rebuild their

0:11:42.340 --> 0:11:45.359
<v Speaker 2>lives with dignity, purpose, and hope. Everyone deserves to spend

0:11:45.380 --> 0:11:47.319
<v Speaker 2>the holidays with their loved ones. You can help make

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.830
<v Speaker 2>that possible. Consider making a donation Thursday the 5th. That's

0:11:51.850 --> 0:11:54.370
<v Speaker 2>a week from today, right? During the Warrior Foundation Freedom

0:11:54.410 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Station annual give-a-thon. Call 619-WARRIOR. That's 619-WARRIOR or visit warriorfoundation.org.

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 2>That's warriorfoundation.org to make a tax-deductible donation. Warriorfoundation.org. So you're

0:12:07.740 --> 0:12:10.780
<v Speaker 2>the average Alaskan. You're a whale oil salesman or whatever

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.940
<v Speaker 2>it is you do for a living. And these are

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.900
<v Speaker 2>all jokes, by the way, for our audience and our

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.599
<v Speaker 2>two Alaska radio stations where you're like a dentist or

0:12:20.620 --> 0:12:22.700
<v Speaker 2>an insurance broker or whatever you are. You know, I

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:26.420
<v Speaker 2>can't wait to go back to Alaska. I loved I

0:12:26.500 --> 0:12:30.770
<v Speaker 2>liked the people so much. Seriously, trekking all over Alaska.

0:12:31.450 --> 0:12:36.569
<v Speaker 2>Holy kids. It's like Midwestern. Nice, except gigantic. Really nice.

0:12:36.590 --> 0:12:38.890
<v Speaker 2>But how many people were going to go into the

0:12:40.330 --> 0:12:43.490
<v Speaker 2>booth on Tuesday and see two Dan Sullivan's on there

0:12:43.510 --> 0:12:46.350
<v Speaker 2>and think, I think there's two of them. What is

0:12:46.650 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 2>like you unaware of the story? I don't know exactly

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 2>how they figure out what the order is, but the

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:58.359
<v Speaker 2>fake Dan Sullivan was listed first. And that could have

0:12:58.380 --> 0:13:02.250
<v Speaker 2>a serious effect. I'm hoping there's such a bright spotlight

0:13:02.490 --> 0:13:06.290
<v Speaker 2>that's been shown on this, that the average Alaskan voter

0:13:06.490 --> 0:13:08.750
<v Speaker 2>is aware of it enough to seek out the right

0:13:08.820 --> 0:13:15.310
<v Speaker 2>Dan Sullivan, but never under... Never under overestimate the under.

0:13:15.990 --> 0:13:20.590
<v Speaker 2>Never exaggerate in your own mind how well informed the

0:13:20.650 --> 0:13:24.900
<v Speaker 2>average voter is. If I was open to voting for Peltola,

0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.340
<v Speaker 2>I think I would be in the you own up

0:13:28.380 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 2>to this. I'm fine. But if you're going to treat

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.929
<v Speaker 2>me like a complete moron and act like. You didn't

0:13:32.970 --> 0:13:35.340
<v Speaker 2>know this was happening or why I can't vote for you.

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.420
<v Speaker 2>But if she'd come out and say, yeah, I ordered

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the code red, but it's because Trump is the worst

0:13:40.100 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 2>person on earth and we need to stop him. Plenty

0:13:42.660 --> 0:13:44.260
<v Speaker 2>of Democrats would say, I get it. Yeah, we got

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.670
<v Speaker 2>to cheat because they cheat or whatever. You know, you

0:13:46.690 --> 0:13:48.890
<v Speaker 2>get so cynical. But if you're going to look me

0:13:48.929 --> 0:13:51.090
<v Speaker 2>in the eye and say, no, I had no idea.

0:13:51.470 --> 0:13:54.190
<v Speaker 2>Please don't treat me like a moron.

0:13:54.450 --> 0:13:54.670
<v Speaker 3>Huh?

0:13:55.690 --> 0:13:58.500
<v Speaker 2>Hear, hear. Any thoughts? Text line 415-295-KFTC.

0:14:02.429 --> 0:14:18.050
<v Speaker 1>And Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:14:22.270 --> 0:14:26.730
<v Speaker 2>2-1 pitch. Palacios. Ground ball. Second base. Terang has it.

0:14:26.780 --> 0:14:31.820
<v Speaker 2>Goes to first. Unshakable. Unstoppable. And champions at last. The

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.950
<v Speaker 2>wait is over. The Brewers have won the World Series.

0:14:37.110 --> 0:14:43.070
<v Speaker 2>There you go. Congratulations, Milwaukee Brewers. What a baseball team. Uh,

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 2>we had a little clip we played earlier from Vince Gill,

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:50.100
<v Speaker 2>a very famous singer songwriters written many, many hit songs

0:14:50.140 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 2>talking about how there's no money in it anymore because

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.700
<v Speaker 2>of streaming. You're right. Hit song and make nothing. And

0:14:54.740 --> 0:14:56.330
<v Speaker 2>we had a bunch of people. I don't know why

0:14:56.380 --> 0:14:58.590
<v Speaker 2>some of you know this on how much various people

0:14:58.610 --> 0:15:00.950
<v Speaker 2>were getting paid for songs that they wrote. Cause Joe

0:15:00.970 --> 0:15:02.850
<v Speaker 2>brought up the idea that there's lots of people that

0:15:02.870 --> 0:15:05.690
<v Speaker 2>got rich that if they had done what they did

0:15:05.750 --> 0:15:09.820
<v Speaker 2>in nine, you know, 1965 today, they wouldn't, It would

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.100
<v Speaker 2>just be an interesting trivia story at the bar. You know,

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I wrote a hit song once. Oh, you did? I

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:18.140
<v Speaker 2>think I remember that one, yeah. For instance, the Monster Mash,

0:15:18.180 --> 0:15:21.460
<v Speaker 2>which you'll hear, you know, in Halloween stories this weekend,

0:15:22.260 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 2>has been generating roughly a million dollars annually forever for

0:15:26.580 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 2>whoever wrote that.

0:15:28.230 --> 0:15:28.490
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.350
<v Speaker 2>As a songwriter. Somebody mentioned some song Sting wrote that

0:15:32.390 --> 0:15:35.570
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know for someone else. He said he makes

0:15:35.570 --> 0:15:38.430
<v Speaker 2>$ 2, 000 a day off of that song from back when.

0:15:38.490 --> 0:15:38.590
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:39.900
<v Speaker 2>Or used to.

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.380
<v Speaker 2>It's tremendous money. But the other side of it is,

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:52.130
<v Speaker 2>is there any reason why you need to get rich

0:15:52.150 --> 0:15:54.510
<v Speaker 2>because you wrote a hit song? I mean, there's lots

0:15:54.550 --> 0:15:57.530
<v Speaker 2>of people that write some of the most awarded poetry

0:15:57.570 --> 0:15:59.970
<v Speaker 2>that has ever been written. You don't make a cent

0:16:00.090 --> 0:16:02.070
<v Speaker 2>off of it. They're just doing it for the sake

0:16:02.130 --> 0:16:07.220
<v Speaker 2>of writing poetry. Back in Irving Berlin's days, you would

0:16:07.580 --> 0:16:08.940
<v Speaker 2>make the money off of sheet music.

0:16:09.500 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:16:09.860 --> 0:16:13.630
<v Speaker 2>And then it became, you know, the various recording devices.

0:16:13.670 --> 0:16:16.990
<v Speaker 2>But no, the money was because you were selling albums.

0:16:17.050 --> 0:16:20.650
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't because songwriters deserve to make a lot of money.

0:16:21.210 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 2>That art is so appreciated by everyone that you need

0:16:23.860 --> 0:16:27.100
<v Speaker 2>to become wealthy. Right, right. Yeah, it was, you know,

0:16:27.140 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 2>as the Byrds famously declared about getting a record deal,

0:16:30.180 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 2>they're waiting there to sell plasticware. That's what the record

0:16:34.420 --> 0:16:40.010
<v Speaker 2>business is or was. What a major change in our lifetimes.

0:16:40.130 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 2>And there's more to come, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, I'll

0:16:43.420 --> 0:16:48.210
<v Speaker 2>bet somebody could do a comparison. What would you call it?

0:16:48.220 --> 0:16:51.780
<v Speaker 2>A calculation of, all right, let's pick a big band.

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.930
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not like a giant band, but a big band.

0:16:55.330 --> 0:16:58.250
<v Speaker 2>Something like, I don't know, what's a good 70s example?

0:16:58.330 --> 0:17:00.870
<v Speaker 2>KC and the Sunshine Band or whatever. They had a

0:17:00.910 --> 0:17:04.929
<v Speaker 2>bunch of big hits, played a bunch of shows. How

0:17:04.970 --> 0:17:08.580
<v Speaker 2>much money would they make in 2021? Twenty twenty six.

0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Compared to what they did. Tiny fraction. Right. And then

0:17:13.460 --> 0:17:17.369
<v Speaker 2>certainly going forward. Yeah, I know a couple of members

0:17:17.430 --> 0:17:20.149
<v Speaker 2>of giant touring bands you've probably heard of. Not not

0:17:20.190 --> 0:17:24.070
<v Speaker 2>super giant, but significant national acts that have part time

0:17:24.090 --> 0:17:27.300
<v Speaker 2>jobs when they're not on the road. Which would never

0:17:27.340 --> 0:17:28.659
<v Speaker 2>have happened in the 70s or 80s or 90s even.

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.470
<v Speaker 2>I remember Steve Earl, who's kind of a niche thing,

0:17:32.490 --> 0:17:34.270
<v Speaker 2>but I remember him saying, I can pretty much guarantee

0:17:34.310 --> 0:17:36.929
<v Speaker 2>selling 100,000 albums when I put out an album with

0:17:36.990 --> 0:17:39.670
<v Speaker 2>my audience. Well, that'd be enough to make you wealthy.

0:17:40.690 --> 0:17:43.130
<v Speaker 2>Put out an album every year. Now there's zero money

0:17:43.170 --> 0:17:45.669
<v Speaker 2>to make from that. Right. So it's whatever you can

0:17:45.690 --> 0:17:49.750
<v Speaker 2>sell in T-shirt sales and tickets from little venues. And

0:17:49.790 --> 0:17:53.550
<v Speaker 2>then OnlyFans. And frankly, that hasn't worked out as well

0:17:53.590 --> 0:17:55.710
<v Speaker 2>as I'd hoped for myself. I'm not watching a Steve

0:17:55.730 --> 0:18:02.210
<v Speaker 2>Earl OnlyFans. Ha ha ha ha. Fat old communist. Come on,

0:18:02.290 --> 0:18:08.620
<v Speaker 2>give me some. Oh, man. Yeah. So lovely songwriter, though.

0:18:09.660 --> 0:18:14.640
<v Speaker 2>So Abdul Al-Sayed is an Islamist. We will bring more

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:19.000
<v Speaker 2>receipts for that proposition. Among other things, Mamdani is struggling

0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.060
<v Speaker 2>in New York because he keeps enacting the same policies

0:18:22.100 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 2>the left coast cities did to their ruin. There's a shot. Well,

0:18:25.619 --> 0:18:28.740
<v Speaker 2>the communist in L.A. might be mayor now. New pullout. Oh,

0:18:28.780 --> 0:18:29.740
<v Speaker 2>my gosh. I'm real.

0:18:30.220 --> 0:18:44.450
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:18:47.830 --> 0:18:53.609
<v Speaker 7>If, God forbid, El-Said were to win, nothing would prevent

0:18:53.810 --> 0:18:59.230
<v Speaker 7>Chuck Schumer from putting El-Said on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

0:19:01.470 --> 0:19:05.240
<v Speaker 7>The Intelligence Committee has access to the most sensitive secrets

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:10.080
<v Speaker 7>in our government, and the odds are unacceptably high that

0:19:10.100 --> 0:19:10.979
<v Speaker 7>Americans would.

0:19:10.940 --> 0:19:14.270
<v Speaker 2>Die as a result. Now, do we have, did he

0:19:14.369 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 2>say it on microphone where Ted Cruz goes on to

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:21.260
<v Speaker 2>call El-Sayed an Islamist leprechaun? Is that what he called him?

0:19:23.780 --> 0:19:27.060
<v Speaker 2>Was that the quote, Katie? It was a jihadist leprechaun.

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:29.659
<v Speaker 2>Jihadist leprechaun. Do we not have that audio? I don't

0:19:29.700 --> 0:19:31.010
<v Speaker 2>know if there is audio. I don't know if he

0:19:31.030 --> 0:19:33.910
<v Speaker 2>said it on a microphone or not. That's pretty funny, though.

0:19:34.890 --> 0:19:39.129
<v Speaker 2>It is in a way. He's short, like leprechaun sized?

0:19:39.570 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Or does he wear little green turned up shoes? he

0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.310
<v Speaker 2>he lurks at the end of rainbows is the problem

0:19:46.830 --> 0:19:50.920
<v Speaker 2>no he is fairly short and he's also very broad

0:19:50.980 --> 0:19:57.070
<v Speaker 2>as he is really into weightlifting. Right. Jihadist leprechauns are

0:19:57.090 --> 0:20:00.970
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good shot. Would Chuck Schumer put him on

0:20:00.990 --> 0:20:03.889
<v Speaker 2>the Intelligence Committee? Chuck Schumer is Jewish. I don't know

0:20:03.930 --> 0:20:07.310
<v Speaker 2>what Chuck Schumer actually feels about You know, part of

0:20:07.350 --> 0:20:10.250
<v Speaker 2>him is the politician that just wants any Democrats that

0:20:10.270 --> 0:20:11.870
<v Speaker 2>will make him Senate majority leader.

0:20:11.890 --> 0:20:12.489
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah.

0:20:12.890 --> 0:20:14.730
<v Speaker 2>Got to be part of him, though, as a Jewish

0:20:14.770 --> 0:20:19.340
<v Speaker 2>guy that doesn't like a jihadist. Yeah, I think Chuck

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Schumer is so bitterly cynical and so willing to to

0:20:24.140 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 2>to stick the knife in as needed. He thinks, all right,

0:20:27.020 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 2>we'll get the seat and then I will have to

0:20:29.340 --> 0:20:32.179
<v Speaker 2>neutralize this guy and keep him from doing any harm.

0:20:32.940 --> 0:20:38.500
<v Speaker 2>Although I don't I don't know how Chuck Schumer thinks. Akbar. Again,

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:45.020
<v Speaker 2>that's distasteful. Abdul Al-Sayed is a jihadi, in my opinion. Oh,

0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 2>you know what? Oh, that's right. I was going to

0:20:46.380 --> 0:20:49.200
<v Speaker 2>mention this, and it's just kind of neither here nor there.

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:54.389
<v Speaker 2>I've grown, Jack, I believe, to hate Ed O'Keefe of

0:20:54.450 --> 0:20:59.109
<v Speaker 2>CBS News nearly as much as you do. I have

0:20:59.150 --> 0:21:01.209
<v Speaker 2>not been personally offended by him in the way that

0:21:01.390 --> 0:21:05.630
<v Speaker 2>you were. No, no. Mine was like... flashbacks from high school,

0:21:05.790 --> 0:21:09.270
<v Speaker 2>cool kid, ignoring the nerd that, that my response, uh,

0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 2>experience I had at the dinner table with him. Yeah.

0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.780
<v Speaker 2>He's just a bad human being on a CBS news

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:19.040
<v Speaker 2>last night. He was reporting on the multiple Dan Sullivan

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.419
<v Speaker 2>scandal up in Alaska. Uh, and, and he had to

0:21:22.460 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 2>throw in, of course, you know, there's skullduggery around that, uh,

0:21:26.250 --> 0:21:29.909
<v Speaker 2>terrible ad in, uh, Ohio that Rama Swami won't disavow

0:21:29.930 --> 0:21:32.650
<v Speaker 2>with the, uh, the crazy old mother and all. So yeah, there's,

0:21:32.990 --> 0:21:35.369
<v Speaker 2>There's sins on both sides. Back to you, Ed O'Keefe.

0:21:35.910 --> 0:21:43.300
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't mention the Jews are driving up prices story in Michigan. Right,

0:21:43.340 --> 0:21:46.900
<v Speaker 2>right over there. Doesn't find that in his memory banks.

0:21:47.020 --> 0:21:51.460
<v Speaker 2>It's funny. There's been maybe a hundred times more attention

0:21:51.500 --> 0:21:55.340
<v Speaker 2>paid to the Ramaswami ad than the Cenk Uygur for

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:59.820
<v Speaker 2>the benefit of Abdul Al-Sayed ad, which is straight out

0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:03.390
<v Speaker 2>of 1930s Germany. Since with horseshoe theory, there are people

0:22:03.430 --> 0:22:05.770
<v Speaker 2>on the right with the same beliefs. If you had

0:22:05.830 --> 0:22:09.090
<v Speaker 2>a Nick Fuentes, who's considered a man of the right,

0:22:10.010 --> 0:22:13.030
<v Speaker 2>if you had him blaming the price of groceries on

0:22:13.070 --> 0:22:16.189
<v Speaker 2>the Jews, I feel like the mainstream media would make

0:22:16.210 --> 0:22:18.580
<v Speaker 2>a big deal out of that. Yeah, they're utterly dishonest.

0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:22.820
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, Al-Sayed has not denounced the ad in any way.

0:22:22.940 --> 0:22:25.619
<v Speaker 2>His campaign has not denounced it. They just said the

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.740
<v Speaker 2>ad was not affiliated in any way with the campaign. OK, well,

0:22:28.940 --> 0:22:33.030
<v Speaker 2>what did you think of it? No comment. Okay. All right.

0:22:33.090 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough. He's an anti-Semite and Islamist. But he wrote

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:41.780
<v Speaker 2>not long ago, actually, that it was troubling that the U.S.

0:22:41.900 --> 0:22:47.960
<v Speaker 2>killed al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri. You remember him? Widely considered

0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 2>the mastermind of 9-11. Killing al-Zawahiri was a fig leaf

0:22:53.380 --> 0:22:57.109
<v Speaker 2>to cover up the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, Al-Sayed

0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:00.859
<v Speaker 2>wrote at the time. He laid out the argument in

0:23:00.900 --> 0:23:04.540
<v Speaker 2>his piece, projecting strength abroad isn't simply about killing terrorists, blah, blah, blah.

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:08.270
<v Speaker 2>He spoke out against the CIA drone strike that successfully

0:23:08.330 --> 0:23:12.110
<v Speaker 2>took out al-Zawahiri, a fellow Egyptian who joined the Muslim

0:23:12.150 --> 0:23:15.090
<v Speaker 2>Brotherhood as a teenager. Oh, there's the old MB again,

0:23:15.470 --> 0:23:20.859
<v Speaker 2>and ultimately rose to lead al-Qaeda. The old MB, you say? Yeah,

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:22.820
<v Speaker 2>and we could go into some of his arguments, but

0:23:22.859 --> 0:23:26.350
<v Speaker 2>it was essentially just that It was improper, and Biden's

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:29.510
<v Speaker 2>just doing it to cover up his other weaknesses. But

0:23:29.790 --> 0:23:35.169
<v Speaker 2>as who is writing this? John Levine writes in The

0:23:35.230 --> 0:23:40.330
<v Speaker 2>Free Beacon, Al-Sayed has a long history of being squeamish

0:23:40.390 --> 0:23:44.470
<v Speaker 2>about bringing justice to radical Islamists. After President Trump assassinated

0:23:44.590 --> 0:23:50.630
<v Speaker 2>Iranian terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani, Al-Sayed warned, one shouldn't kick

0:23:50.670 --> 0:23:54.940
<v Speaker 2>a rabid dog. When President Obama droned terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki,

0:23:56.100 --> 0:23:59.500
<v Speaker 2>who was linked to multiple attacks on Americans, Al-Sayed lambasted

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:04.460
<v Speaker 2>that decision as well, calling it an extrajudicial assassination HuffPo article.

0:24:04.940 --> 0:24:06.680
<v Speaker 2>In March of this year, he was caught on tape

0:24:06.700 --> 0:24:08.260
<v Speaker 2>saying there are lots of people in Dearborn who are

0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 2>sad about the killing of Khamenei. To be fair, there

0:24:12.060 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 2>are plenty of conservative or libertarians who did not like

0:24:15.470 --> 0:24:19.879
<v Speaker 2>obama droning various people including a u.s citizen al-alaki was

0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:22.919
<v Speaker 2>a u.s citizen yeah what's interesting though and i was

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:25.360
<v Speaker 2>about to get to that because it's it's the point

0:24:25.380 --> 0:24:30.940
<v Speaker 2>is well taken he has different arguments against all of

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 2>them right but his conclusion is always the same speaking

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:39.679
<v Speaker 2>of his dear old mother which we haven't been for

0:24:39.700 --> 0:24:43.810
<v Speaker 2>a while the uh muslim brotherhood act brotherhood activist who

0:24:44.869 --> 0:24:48.169
<v Speaker 2>He says, well, he's described her as a working nurse

0:24:48.230 --> 0:24:52.760
<v Speaker 2>in Missouri. Always describes her that way. Well, the FBI

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:56.980
<v Speaker 2>raided the home of his nurse in Missouri mother in

0:24:57.020 --> 0:25:01.460
<v Speaker 2>the early 2000s, likely in connection with a terror financing

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:04.750
<v Speaker 2>case that shut down the Islamic charity she worked for.

0:25:04.950 --> 0:25:08.740
<v Speaker 2>Like happens to so many of us. Right. Ms. Abdul Hadi,

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:13.060
<v Speaker 2>a University of Chicago professor and the daughter of El Sayed's. Oh,

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. That's the that's the half sister referenced the

0:25:15.900 --> 0:25:18.280
<v Speaker 2>raid in an article that has been quoted a fair

0:25:18.300 --> 0:25:24.640
<v Speaker 2>amount lately. But she's writing about how her mom got

0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:27.980
<v Speaker 2>raided and we're no stranger to FBI surveillance. We learned

0:25:28.020 --> 0:25:32.070
<v Speaker 2>to speak carefully about what we were doing and be

0:25:32.140 --> 0:25:35.580
<v Speaker 2>careful on the phone, that sort of thing, quote. When

0:25:35.619 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 2>I was a teenager, my mother worked for an Islamic

0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:42.939
<v Speaker 2>philanthropic organization that delivered humanitarian aid to orphans and refugees worldwide.

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:47.260
<v Speaker 2>It was one of at least nine Muslim philanthropic groups

0:25:47.340 --> 0:25:51.060
<v Speaker 2>closed by the FBI in the early 2000s. And she

0:25:51.100 --> 0:25:58.219
<v Speaker 2>describes the experience. Mom and daughter were working. They were

0:25:58.260 --> 0:26:04.690
<v Speaker 2>describing the Islamic American Relief Agency, IARA, where mom worked

0:26:05.170 --> 0:26:08.290
<v Speaker 2>for at least five years when the nonprofit was shut

0:26:08.310 --> 0:26:12.330
<v Speaker 2>down by the Treasury Department and designated as a worldwide

0:26:12.390 --> 0:26:17.870
<v Speaker 2>network for funding terrorism, including the precursor organization of Al Qaeda,

0:26:18.130 --> 0:26:24.620
<v Speaker 2>the Taliban, and Hamas. So this charity for orphans was

0:26:24.820 --> 0:26:29.770
<v Speaker 2>funneling money to the Taliban and Hamas. It notes the

0:26:29.850 --> 0:26:34.710
<v Speaker 2>federal agents interviewed mom for about three hours, etc., etc.

0:26:36.170 --> 0:26:40.810
<v Speaker 2>So long, long family history with the Muslim Brotherhood and

0:26:41.109 --> 0:26:46.520
<v Speaker 2>organizations that fund Islamism, violent Islamic terrorism. If he gets

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:50.780
<v Speaker 2>elected into the U.S. Senate, I feel a fairly public

0:26:50.980 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 2>showdown between him and John Fetterman at some point. And

0:26:55.980 --> 0:26:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Ted Cruz.

0:26:56.500 --> 0:26:56.570
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:26:58.130 --> 0:27:00.869
<v Speaker 2>Right. But I was thinking Fetterman just because in a

0:27:00.930 --> 0:27:06.260
<v Speaker 2>Democratic caucus, some meeting of just the Democratic senators. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:12.139
<v Speaker 2>Fetterman is so staunchly pro-Israel. Yeah. Yeah. It'll be so

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:15.520
<v Speaker 2>crazy interesting to see how this race goes on Tuesday.

0:27:15.660 --> 0:27:17.940
<v Speaker 2>And if he wins, you know, what does does he

0:27:18.060 --> 0:27:25.810
<v Speaker 2>does he try to. Mainstream his views, whatever his real

0:27:25.869 --> 0:27:29.540
<v Speaker 2>views are to. stay in the u.s senate or does

0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:32.639
<v Speaker 2>he think here's my opportunity i have no idea oh

0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:34.820
<v Speaker 2>i think he will he will go uh with the

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 2>message that the college professors use to indoctrinate the youngsters

0:27:38.660 --> 0:27:41.920
<v Speaker 2>that israel is an apartheid state not true that it's

0:27:41.980 --> 0:27:46.620
<v Speaker 2>a colonial settler monster not true that reminds me they

0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:51.590
<v Speaker 2>displaced the palestinians from their traditional land it's all of

0:27:51.660 --> 0:27:54.030
<v Speaker 2>it i was listening to ben shapiro on another podcast

0:27:54.050 --> 0:27:58.280
<v Speaker 2>yesterday and um His making the point is absolutely right

0:27:58.380 --> 0:28:02.469
<v Speaker 2>that this election that's going on right now, there are

0:28:02.550 --> 0:28:08.580
<v Speaker 2>so many of the anti-Israel crowd that are comfortable with

0:28:08.700 --> 0:28:14.490
<v Speaker 2>bashing Benjamin Netanyahu like he is a A rogue leader

0:28:15.190 --> 0:28:18.800
<v Speaker 2>not doing what the Israelis want him to do. Like

0:28:18.859 --> 0:28:22.199
<v Speaker 2>he's a like a dictator. And once they're freed of

0:28:22.280 --> 0:28:26.619
<v Speaker 2>this dictator, Benjamin Netanyahu, then different things will happen. Maybe

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:30.010
<v Speaker 2>Mamdani will arrest him. When he is reflecting the.

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:35.699
<v Speaker 2>Wants of the voting public by a lot. They're not

0:28:35.740 --> 0:28:38.180
<v Speaker 2>even close on a lot of these issues of whether

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:41.550
<v Speaker 2>or not they should continue, you know, to eliminate Hamas

0:28:41.590 --> 0:28:42.990
<v Speaker 2>or go into Gaza or do all those things that

0:28:43.010 --> 0:28:45.470
<v Speaker 2>they're doing, pursuing the war, stopping Iran. I mean, he's

0:28:45.490 --> 0:28:50.810
<v Speaker 2>got 70 percent approval on all of that stuff. Yeah.

0:28:50.950 --> 0:28:52.950
<v Speaker 2>And the other guy, if he ends up being prime minister,

0:28:52.990 --> 0:28:56.210
<v Speaker 2>feels the same way. So as Ben Shapiro is making

0:28:56.230 --> 0:28:59.590
<v Speaker 2>the argument, the whole I can be against Israel in

0:28:59.610 --> 0:29:02.270
<v Speaker 2>a comfortable way because I blame it on Benjamin, not Netanyahu,

0:29:02.330 --> 0:29:04.530
<v Speaker 2>is about to come to an end when it becomes

0:29:04.590 --> 0:29:08.780
<v Speaker 2>very clear that the voting population likes that stuff. They

0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:11.500
<v Speaker 2>don't like what they perceive as his corruption, whether that's

0:29:11.540 --> 0:29:15.220
<v Speaker 2>true or not, or some of his domestic agenda and blah, blah, blah.

0:29:15.700 --> 0:29:15.920
<v Speaker 1>But.

0:29:18.260 --> 0:29:21.780
<v Speaker 2>The the stuff that Israel is doing is broadly supported

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:26.810
<v Speaker 2>by the Israelis. And I think that's about to become

0:29:26.870 --> 0:29:29.410
<v Speaker 2>very clear. I'm going to tell you about a guy

0:29:29.430 --> 0:29:32.209
<v Speaker 2>in a minute who he may not be my favorite

0:29:32.210 --> 0:29:35.970
<v Speaker 2>person on Earth, but he's in the final pool of

0:29:35.970 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 2>of people who I really admire. You're going to rank

0:29:38.380 --> 0:29:41.980
<v Speaker 2>him above a Judy, your wife on earth, on earth

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:43.780
<v Speaker 2>right now, physical incarnation.

0:29:44.180 --> 0:29:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:29:46.640 --> 0:29:48.260
<v Speaker 2>Who'd you say? I'm going to rank him above what

0:29:48.380 --> 0:29:52.110
<v Speaker 2>you said. He's your favorite person on earth. Yeah. Oh,

0:29:52.410 --> 0:29:53.030
<v Speaker 2>above Judy.

0:29:53.190 --> 0:29:53.430
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:29:54.010 --> 0:29:56.530
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, no, no, there's, there's different. I wonder if

0:29:56.550 --> 0:30:00.250
<v Speaker 2>you were doing like Sandifer and his wife. Who Tim

0:30:00.270 --> 0:30:05.710
<v Speaker 2>said to her, my favorite person ever living or dead

0:30:05.770 --> 0:30:08.330
<v Speaker 2>is Thomas Jefferson. I'm sorry. And she said, me too.

0:30:10.270 --> 0:30:15.450
<v Speaker 2>Now that's love. I put Thomas Jefferson before you. So

0:30:15.470 --> 0:30:17.870
<v Speaker 2>do I. They both like Thomas Jefferson better than the

0:30:17.890 --> 0:30:23.250
<v Speaker 2>other one. Right. That's beautiful. It's simple. They love each other. Exactly. Thanks, Joe.

0:30:23.590 --> 0:30:25.310
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you about that person in a moment after

0:30:25.350 --> 0:30:27.490
<v Speaker 2>a word from our friends at Incogni. I kind of

0:30:27.510 --> 0:30:30.720

<v Speaker 2>can't see it because it's not in your yard. It's online.

0:30:46.290 --> 0:30:48.930
<v Speaker 2>It is disturbing how much information about you is floating

0:30:48.950 --> 0:30:51.840
<v Speaker 2>around on the Internet. Data brokers, thousands of them, they

0:30:51.860 --> 0:30:53.600
<v Speaker 2>build a giant file on you and then they sell

0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:58.290
<v Speaker 2>it to people. Scammers, stalkers, advertisers, criminals. 60 Minutes did

0:30:58.310 --> 0:31:00.790
<v Speaker 2>a story on how attackers use data brokers to find

0:31:00.850 --> 0:31:04.790
<v Speaker 2>their targets, whether it's federal judges, public officials, or who

0:31:29.100 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 2>slash Armstrong, take your name off the market. I mentioned

0:31:32.940 --> 0:31:35.740
<v Speaker 2>this guy a few weeks ago. I was reading about

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:37.500
<v Speaker 2>him and some of the stuff he was writing. His

0:31:37.540 --> 0:31:42.380
<v Speaker 2>name is Omar Muhammad. He was the historian who stayed

0:31:42.540 --> 0:31:46.860
<v Speaker 2>in Mosul when ISIS took over. He considered it his

0:31:47.060 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 2>sacred duty to record everything that happened so people would know.

0:31:53.350 --> 0:31:56.230
<v Speaker 2>Pardon me? Lucky he's alive. Oh, my God. Yeah, he's

0:31:56.370 --> 0:31:58.590
<v Speaker 2>one of the most courageous people I've ever heard of.

0:31:59.090 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 2>And he was incredibly clever at smuggling information out and

0:32:03.150 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 2>preserving his records and that sort of thing so humanity

0:32:06.120 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 2>would know what happened. Well, you know, ISIS is no

0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 2>longer in charge and he lives a very different life now.

0:32:11.620 --> 0:32:19.850
<v Speaker 2>But his recent piece for the Free Press... He'd been

0:32:19.910 --> 0:32:21.910
<v Speaker 2>hearing a lot of, and keeping in mind this guy's

0:32:21.950 --> 0:32:26.140
<v Speaker 2>name is Omar Muhammad, right? He's an Iraqi. He'd been

0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:31.340
<v Speaker 2>hearing some of the chants from students in the U.S.,

0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:35.660
<v Speaker 2>among other places, yelling at Jews, go back to Poland.

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.510
<v Speaker 2>Or Israelis, go back to Poland. I don't know if

0:32:40.550 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 2>you know much about World War II history, but Poland

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 2>was the site of several of the most horrific deadly

0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:54.550
<v Speaker 2>death camps in the whole Nazi regime. And he decided

0:32:54.740 --> 0:32:58.770
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to go to Poland to learn about that

0:32:58.870 --> 0:33:04.650
<v Speaker 2>because he's seen so much genocide. And it's so moving.

0:33:04.670 --> 0:33:06.730
<v Speaker 2>And we'll send a link. You might get paywalled. But

0:33:06.750 --> 0:33:08.650
<v Speaker 2>he had a Muslim cab driver who picked him up

0:33:08.690 --> 0:33:09.790
<v Speaker 2>and was going to take him out to the camp.

0:33:10.070 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 2>He didn't know it was there. He knew nothing about

0:33:13.940 --> 0:33:16.240
<v Speaker 2>a pole. Now he lives in Poland. Um, he knew

0:33:16.300 --> 0:33:18.300
<v Speaker 2>nothing about the camp. He didn't know why somebody wanted

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:20.560
<v Speaker 2>to go out to that part of town. A very,

0:33:20.620 --> 0:33:22.760
<v Speaker 2>very same famous, uh, death camp.

0:33:23.060 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:33:24.260 --> 0:33:29.340
<v Speaker 2>But he's writing about the utter obscenity of chanting at

0:33:29.440 --> 0:33:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Holocaust survivors and their families to go back to Poland. Um,

0:33:33.620 --> 0:33:35.140
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sorry, I had the list in front of me.

0:33:35.180 --> 0:33:38.530
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to go by memory and get it wrong. Um,

0:33:40.110 --> 0:33:45.370
<v Speaker 2>But to Auschwitz and Treblinka. And what was the other one?

0:33:45.770 --> 0:33:47.630
<v Speaker 2>You'll have to take my word for it. It's incredible

0:33:47.650 --> 0:33:49.390
<v Speaker 2>that I know more about that than the guy who

0:33:49.410 --> 0:33:56.530
<v Speaker 2>lives there. Yeah. Yeah, it really is. Troubling. Oh, Belzec

0:33:56.570 --> 0:34:01.110
<v Speaker 2>is another one. Yeah. Wow. Anyway, beautiful piece. We'll have

0:34:01.150 --> 0:34:04.650
<v Speaker 2>a link at armstrongandgetty.com. You know, maybe you'll get through.

0:34:04.690 --> 0:34:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you won't. I don't know. Somebody pulled a prank

0:34:06.640 --> 0:34:08.580
<v Speaker 2>at Red Baron Pizza. I don't like to hear that.

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:10.319

<v Speaker 6>What do you have to say to these fans that

0:34:25.940 --> 0:34:27.879
<v Speaker 6>are literally on top of the dugout right now?

0:34:28.020 --> 0:34:30.259

<v Speaker 2>the Milwaukee Brewers. Have fun talking s * * *

0:34:39.670 --> 0:34:42.930
<v Speaker 2>to Chicago next year. Oh, my. As a Cubs fan,

0:34:42.989 --> 0:34:45.770
<v Speaker 2>I resemble that remark. How about that 22-year-old for the

0:34:45.890 --> 0:34:50.739
<v Speaker 2>Brewers who had six hits in a row? Oh, just crazy.

0:34:50.900 --> 0:34:53.760
<v Speaker 2>What a great ball club. So I mentioned a prank

0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:55.759
<v Speaker 2>that went wrong at Red Baron Pizza. We're going to

0:34:55.820 --> 0:34:58.020
<v Speaker 2>use that for the One More Thing podcast. If you're

0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:01.340
<v Speaker 2>unaware of that, that's a segment we record after this.

0:35:01.580 --> 0:35:04.439
<v Speaker 2>That's an extra segment, and sometimes we use swear words,

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:07.020
<v Speaker 2>so you can find that wherever you find your podcast. Well,

0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:11.700

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:20.590
<v Speaker 2>be alive. We're that generous. Speaking of budget pizza, I

0:35:20.610 --> 0:35:22.799
<v Speaker 2>think I had Little Caesars for the first time ever

0:35:22.860 --> 0:35:25.060
<v Speaker 2>last night. I don't know if I'd ever had Little Caesars. Oh,

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:27.420
<v Speaker 2>I had to. So the school was doing a big

0:35:28.060 --> 0:35:32.100
<v Speaker 2>spaghetti dinner fundraiser thing, and they needed volunteers to do

0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:36.350
<v Speaker 2>all this very stuff. So I picked up a gazillion

0:35:36.430 --> 0:35:39.670
<v Speaker 2>pounds of crazy bread from Little Caesars, which I'd never

0:35:39.710 --> 0:35:41.850
<v Speaker 2>had before. Anyway, I had to load it into my

0:35:41.890 --> 0:35:43.830
<v Speaker 2>truck and drive it over to the school. My truck

0:35:43.890 --> 0:35:48.840
<v Speaker 2>smelled so delicious. Because, you know, it's like garlicky, buttery, hot.

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I had all these tins with tinfoil over them. Just

0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:55.190
<v Speaker 2>give me giant tins full of crazy bread. And I

0:35:55.250 --> 0:35:58.710
<v Speaker 2>had to stoplight, unfurl a little corner of the, take

0:35:58.790 --> 0:36:00.810
<v Speaker 2>one out of there and nibble on it. You're only human.

0:36:01.210 --> 0:36:04.010
<v Speaker 2>You're only a man. See, you couldn't be a DoorDash driver.

0:36:04.030 --> 0:36:07.299
<v Speaker 2>You'd be that guy. I absolutely would be that guy.

0:36:07.320 --> 0:36:08.980
<v Speaker 2>A couple of fries. Come on, it's part of the TV.

0:36:09.000 --> 0:36:10.299
<v Speaker 2>You aren't going to tip. I can tell by looking

0:36:10.340 --> 0:36:11.779
<v Speaker 2>at you. I thought you were going to say they

0:36:11.820 --> 0:36:14.160
<v Speaker 2>were having a spaghetti fundraiser and you brought a bunch

0:36:14.180 --> 0:36:14.800
<v Speaker 2>of pizza.

0:36:15.260 --> 0:36:15.520
<v Speaker 4>Uh-huh.

0:36:16.020 --> 0:36:19.660
<v Speaker 2>But so I got Little Caesars on the mind and

0:36:19.739 --> 0:36:22.140
<v Speaker 2>decided to have pizza last night for me and the kids.

0:36:22.840 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 2>And Sam said, I love Little Caesars. So I thought, OK,

0:36:25.180 --> 0:36:28.219
<v Speaker 2>I'll order Little Caesars. And man, it is ridiculously cheap.

0:36:28.260 --> 0:36:30.630
<v Speaker 2>How do you make your pizza? How do you make

0:36:30.670 --> 0:36:31.590
<v Speaker 2>your pizza that cheap?

0:36:31.630 --> 0:36:31.830
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:36:31.850 --> 0:36:34.570
<v Speaker 2>Mainly so. Then he could keep the cost. Why is

0:36:34.590 --> 0:36:38.340
<v Speaker 2>cheese spelled with a Z? Anyway, I door dashed it.

0:36:38.590 --> 0:36:43.250
<v Speaker 2>And your options for beverages are a variety of wines.

0:36:43.670 --> 0:36:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Josh Sellers, Hearth Cabernet Sauvignon. For $ 16. So a lot

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:52.120
<v Speaker 2>of Little Caesars, DoorDash people or people go to Little

0:36:52.160 --> 0:36:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Caesars wanting a fine bottle of wine with their za. $ 16.

0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:02.359
<v Speaker 2>Is that for a glass or a bottle? That's for

0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:05.860
<v Speaker 2>a bottle. Oh, did you say fine wine? That's at

0:37:05.910 --> 0:37:10.430
<v Speaker 2>the DoorDash price. So it might be, you know, that's

0:37:10.469 --> 0:37:13.190
<v Speaker 2>the retail plus DoorDash price. So it might be a

0:37:13.190 --> 0:37:14.489
<v Speaker 2>$ 5 bottle of wine. I don't know.

0:37:15.090 --> 0:37:15.370
<v Speaker 5>Oof.

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:22.100
<v Speaker 2>They have 20 proof. They had 20 proof Berry Vodka Rita.

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:24.150
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you know what that is, Katie? I don't even

0:37:24.170 --> 0:37:27.830
<v Speaker 2>know what that is. That's a party. That's what that is.

0:37:27.910 --> 0:37:33.469
<v Speaker 2>It's a hangover in a can. I had a woman

0:37:33.510 --> 0:37:36.169
<v Speaker 2>named Vodka Rita. She wanted to be a Russian mail

0:37:36.210 --> 0:37:38.109
<v Speaker 2>order bride, and I backed out at the last moment.

0:37:38.150 --> 0:37:40.400
<v Speaker 2>It just seemed like a bad idea. I don't know

0:37:40.420 --> 0:37:42.299
<v Speaker 2>what Berry Vodka Rita is, but you could get that

0:37:42.340 --> 0:37:46.160
<v Speaker 2>for less than $ 15 also. And some really cheap pizza.

0:37:46.340 --> 0:37:49.180
<v Speaker 2>Lots of wine and booze with the Little Caesars pizza.

0:37:49.700 --> 0:37:51.540
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that is to help you get past the pizza.

0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:53.820
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I thought it was pretty good. I

0:37:53.840 --> 0:37:56.920
<v Speaker 2>thought it was pretty good. Again, it is good. It's

0:37:57.020 --> 0:38:02.890
<v Speaker 2>disturbingly inexpensive. Something's going on. If you missed a segment
