And now. Live from Studio C. Si, senor. 0:00:28.020 --> 0:00:31.710 Welcome to another live presentation of the Sullivan & Sullivan Show. 0:00:31.810 --> 0:00:35.470 I'm Dan Sullivan. He's Dan Sullivan. With Traffic, Dan Sullivan. 0:00:35.550 --> 0:00:38.630 Later with the World Series Upstate. Or your sports reporter, 0:00:38.710 --> 0:00:43.029 Dan Sullivan. We're all Dan Sullivan. And today we will 0:00:43.050 --> 0:00:45.880 be bringing you all the information you can possibly stand. 0:00:45.950 --> 0:00:48.240 And we're toiling under the title of the show. 0:00:48.780 --> 0:00:51.839 Would the real Dan Sullivan please stand up? Or if 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:56.200 you prefer, and I'm ashamed of this one. Milwaukee Brews 0:00:56.340 --> 0:00:59.830 Up win for the ages. Just so obvious. 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:00.740 Brews Up. 0:01:01.350 --> 0:01:08.830 The beer town, the brewers. Just so cloyingly, stupidly mainstream media-y. Yeah, sorry. 0:01:10.030 --> 0:01:14.750 I used Milwaukee's best after their last win. I blew it. 0:01:14.970 --> 0:01:19.160 I blew it. That was for today. Not a good beer, 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:20.020 Milwaukee's best. 0:01:20.940 --> 0:01:21.420 Mm-hmm. 0:01:22.290 --> 0:01:25.450 Maybe forget my problems. Serve it cold, because as soon 0:01:25.490 --> 0:01:30.010 as it warms up a little. Yeesh. That was my 0:01:30.069 --> 0:01:33.900 first realization. You know, you're probably drinking too much when 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.100 my rock and roll band would rehearse, and we would 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.540 drink cold Milwaukee's Best, and there would be several left over, 0:01:39.580 --> 0:01:40.920 and I would go the next day, and they would 0:01:40.940 --> 0:01:43.140 be sitting there warm, and I would grab one, pop 0:01:43.180 --> 0:01:44.560 it open, and no, not open. 0:01:44.580 --> 0:01:44.880 Oh, okay. 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:46.039 No, good lord. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:47.120 Not leftover open ones. 0:01:47.220 --> 0:01:47.540 Okay, good. 0:01:47.620 --> 0:01:48.280 No, no, no, no. 0:01:48.340 --> 0:01:50.400 Just sitting there, and I'd pop one open, drink it 0:01:50.420 --> 0:01:51.440 at room temperature. 0:01:53.020 --> 0:01:54.820 So I don't know what my favorite part of the 0:01:54.860 --> 0:01:58.780 Dan Sullivan story is. Might be that they had bandied 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:03.030 about the idea of starting. And this is almost all 0:02:03.060 --> 0:02:07.150 this stuff is is perfectly legal. But if somebody asks 0:02:07.190 --> 0:02:10.470 you and you say you didn't do it and get caught, 0:02:10.510 --> 0:02:11.929 you're a liar. So then you got that. 0:02:11.990 --> 0:02:15.570 But they were bandied about the idea of starting a 0:02:15.669 --> 0:02:18.070 MAGA party to confuse people. 0:02:18.130 --> 0:02:19.160 But they gave up on that one. 0:02:19.910 --> 0:02:22.590 Not the Democrats in Alaska we're talking about. Yes. 0:02:22.930 --> 0:02:26.430 Well, not just Alaska, because according to the New York Times, 0:02:26.530 --> 0:02:30.660 it went up to the national level of the people 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.460 who run all the Senate campaigns, and the people right 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:37.340 beneath Schumer were aware of the whole Dan Sullivan trick. 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.299 So it goes up to the national level. But again, 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:41.990 it's not illegal. 0:02:42.030 --> 0:02:45.169 Should we... Should we deliver a nut graph on this, 0:02:45.270 --> 0:02:46.710 or do you assume everybody's up to speed on it? 0:02:46.730 --> 0:02:48.650 I assume everyone's up to speed on it, yes. I 0:02:48.690 --> 0:02:50.450 don't know if that's a safe assumption. 0:02:50.730 --> 0:02:53.230 That there were two Dan Sullivans in Alaska? You don't 0:02:53.250 --> 0:02:53.970 think people knew that? 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.380 Well, yeah, that one. That one, everybody knows. Yeah, but 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.420 the fact that the New York Times, the New York 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.419 Times of all places, explosively got to the bottom of 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.740 it and found out, yeah, it was absolutely a deliberate plot. 0:03:04.940 --> 0:03:08.040 They were recruiting Dan Sullivans for months. They've been lying 0:03:08.100 --> 0:03:11.350 about it the entire time. It's just ridiculous. Not illegal. 0:03:11.370 --> 0:03:11.690 Not illegal. 0:03:13.150 --> 0:03:17.030 You just got caught lying. So is that going to damage? 0:03:17.090 --> 0:03:18.880 Does that bother people, I wonder? 0:03:18.940 --> 0:03:21.460 I don't know. I think it will. Absolutely it will. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.840 It should. She's still denying she had anything to do 0:03:24.860 --> 0:03:26.260 with it, which is pathetic. 0:03:26.740 --> 0:03:31.250 Well, it'll do damage because she's an absolute lying liar. 0:03:31.990 --> 0:03:36.190 Mary Patolta. The angle I find funny is, like I 0:03:36.210 --> 0:03:39.900 just heard it on NPR, people reporting this is like, 0:03:41.060 --> 0:03:43.040 There were two Dan Sullivan's on the ballot and one 0:03:43.060 --> 0:03:47.540 of them wasn't serious. See, that's that's the part. 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:48.280 That drives me nuts. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.340 I watched Face the Nation on Sunday where Margaret Brennan 0:03:51.370 --> 0:03:55.410 had the attorney general on there and he was fighting 0:03:55.450 --> 0:03:57.890 this whole Dan Sullivan battle in Alaska. And she kept saying, look, 0:03:57.910 --> 0:04:02.110 there's no evidence that the other Dan Sullivan is not 0:04:02.170 --> 0:04:03.170 legitimately running. 0:04:03.970 --> 0:04:04.820 And he's like, what? 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:05.300 Are you kidding? 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.560 So all these media outlets acting like this is news 0:04:08.980 --> 0:04:11.620 that the other Dan Sullivan was a charade. 0:04:12.380 --> 0:04:14.650 Of course it was. It's just, you know, whether it 0:04:14.710 --> 0:04:18.670 was orchestrated by the candidate or not is the only question. 0:04:18.710 --> 0:04:21.310 Of course it was phony. I don't know how you 0:04:21.330 --> 0:04:24.720 can watch those shows without going insane. I mean, suggest 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.349 that there's no evidence. I mean, I can barely restrain 0:04:28.390 --> 0:04:32.770 myself from, like, firing F-bombs around. The guy's a lifelong 0:04:32.850 --> 0:04:39.349 Democrat with no political involvement or experience than happens to 0:04:40.210 --> 0:04:44.110 decide to run for the Senate against a guy with 0:04:44.150 --> 0:04:49.650 the same name and even, Margaret, you lying bitch. Sorry. 0:04:49.830 --> 0:04:52.570 I'll stand by it unless it was that other lying bitch. 0:04:52.620 --> 0:04:55.520 Then I got the wrong one. Sorry. I'm a little 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:56.220 fired up here. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:57.520 Katie, we need to hold hands. 0:04:58.140 --> 0:05:00.640 Let's get fired up. We are fired up. 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.780 We're both scared. We need to comfort each other. This 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:03.760 is not a safe space. 0:05:04.220 --> 0:05:06.160 You're kneeling, you little weasel. 0:05:06.180 --> 0:05:08.760 Exactly right. This is not a safe space. I feel unsafe. 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:09.880 I'm feeling triggered. 0:05:11.540 --> 0:05:14.779 So listen, but it's worse than that. The guy actually 0:05:14.900 --> 0:05:18.310 applied to the election commission in Alaska to be listed 0:05:18.430 --> 0:05:22.390 as Dan S. Sullivan, the exact name of the incumbent. 0:05:22.589 --> 0:05:25.370 Even though his middle freaking name starts with a J. 0:05:25.810 --> 0:05:30.000 There's no evidence that this. I would never raise my 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:31.920 hand to a woman, but I might hire a woman 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.860 to do it for me. Katie, what are you doing 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.900 this afternoon? Free as a bird. 0:05:37.420 --> 0:05:39.620 Can I give you $ 10 to go slap this woman? 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.390 Oh, I'd do it for free. That would be abhorrent. 0:05:42.510 --> 0:05:47.490 I would never do that, but here's a tenner. Well, 0:05:47.510 --> 0:05:49.589 and the other part of it is he hasn't campaigned 0:05:49.610 --> 0:05:52.040 at all. So, I mean, it's not like he's out 0:05:52.070 --> 0:05:54.700 there on the trail making it look like he's a candidate. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:06:00.220 There is no evidence that he, oh my God. Dan 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.979 Sullivan must be a common name everywhere or just in Alaska. 0:06:03.060 --> 0:06:04.620 I don't know what, but they found a bunch of 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.180 Dan Sullivan's in a very tiny state and they only 0:06:08.260 --> 0:06:10.980 convinced one to actually run. And he's in a really 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.640 isolated village where you got to like take a plane 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.200 and then ride a whale. And I mean, there's all 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:16.180 kinds of stuff you got to do. 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:18.250 To get there. 0:06:18.450 --> 0:06:21.110 And they talked to me, Trump so much, he is 0:06:21.130 --> 0:06:22.730 willing to run all the way. Like, again, he doesn't, 0:06:23.170 --> 0:06:25.270 doesn't actually have a campaign and he's not out there 0:06:25.350 --> 0:06:26.110 pretending to run. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.700 Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.219 The other interesting part of that New York Times article 0:06:33.260 --> 0:06:36.810 was the fact that the former campaign manager is the 0:06:37.470 --> 0:06:40.930 biggest source of this whole story. So this Patola woman 0:06:40.970 --> 0:06:43.330 apparently is really brutal on her staff and lots of 0:06:43.370 --> 0:06:44.990 people quit or she fires them. 0:06:45.990 --> 0:06:50.190 She gets explosive like Joe just did. So this guy quit, 0:06:50.230 --> 0:06:52.530 the campaign manager. He goes to the New York Times, 0:06:52.570 --> 0:06:54.650 tells this story. Then at the end. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.750 He says, I'd like to retract all this stuff. He 0:06:58.770 --> 0:07:01.510 got cold feet. He's a good chicken out. Well, it's 0:07:01.529 --> 0:07:05.480 a woman, but sometimes women have jobs, too, Jack. That's right. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.640 So it's funny, I just assumed it was a man. 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.540 But the campaign manager chickened out, and New York Times said, 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.520 too late, sorry. I mean, you already told us. I'd 0:07:13.540 --> 0:07:15.720 like to retract everything I said to you, and they're like, 0:07:16.140 --> 0:07:20.240 that's not a thing. As the kids say these days. 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.540 Because God knows what old Peltola threatened her with. That's 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.540 a sort of Alaskan frontier justice. Skin her like a seal, 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.820 God knows. Tie her to a post and let the 0:07:30.860 --> 0:07:33.480 polar bears have at her. God knows. Who knows what 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:34.700 this woman's capable of? 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.800 Trafficking in some Alaska stereotypes, though we're on two stations 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:41.360 in Alaska. 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.730 We are, and honored to be on both Fairbanks and Anchorage. 0:07:45.930 --> 0:07:51.050 And shout out to folks in the stunningly, amazingly beautiful 0:07:51.110 --> 0:07:51.870 state of Alaska. 0:07:52.190 --> 0:07:53.870 I was kind of interested. 0:07:55.870 --> 0:07:58.800 Oh, and thanks for the oil. Yes, sorry, you were saying? 0:07:59.260 --> 0:08:00.700 I was kind of interested in how many people were 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.940 going to vote for the other Dan Sullivan. I thought 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.260 that might be a good test, because we're always asking 0:08:05.610 --> 0:08:07.610 how many people who vote, you know, the elections are 0:08:07.650 --> 0:08:11.690 controlled by the numbnuts who barely pay attention. All the 0:08:11.730 --> 0:08:14.580 time and effort you put into watching cable news, reading articles, 0:08:14.660 --> 0:08:17.540 whatever it is, reading the guidebook and everything like that. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.150 The people that decide who actually wins or loses in 0:08:21.190 --> 0:08:24.770 close election, they have no idea what's going on. Those 0:08:24.850 --> 0:08:28.250 are the people that make the decision for all of us. 0:08:28.750 --> 0:08:30.400 on our government and i thought this would be a 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.560 good test of what the percentage actually is how many 0:08:32.620 --> 0:08:36.540 people voted for the other dan sullivan because they're completely 0:08:36.620 --> 0:08:39.140 unaware of this story even with all the attention it's 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.210 gotten i can't imagine how much attention it's getting in 0:08:41.230 --> 0:08:44.530 alaska but i'm sure there was going to be single 0:08:44.570 --> 0:08:48.650 digits three to nine percent of people who are completely 0:08:48.730 --> 0:08:52.340 unaware the whole dan sullivan ruse and picked the wrong 0:08:52.500 --> 0:08:54.630 one Oh, yeah, absolutely true. 0:08:54.809 --> 0:08:57.469 And in a close election, this one seemed like it 0:08:57.570 --> 0:08:59.470 was going to be and may still be. Yeah, that 0:08:59.490 --> 0:09:01.590 would be more than enough to turn the tide. It's 0:09:01.610 --> 0:09:03.610 worth mentioning that Alaska is one of the few states 0:09:03.650 --> 0:09:05.770 that has ranked choice voting, which struck me as a 0:09:05.830 --> 0:09:07.510 good idea when I first heard about it. But I 0:09:07.530 --> 0:09:11.910 guess it's a logistical nightmare and confuses people and just 0:09:12.030 --> 0:09:15.480 doesn't work the way it ought to. Partly because voters 0:09:15.540 --> 0:09:18.800 can't spend 10 minutes to familiarize themselves with it. But 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:23.250 the fake Dan Sullivan, the fraud Dan Sullivan... He got, 0:09:23.290 --> 0:09:27.520 I believe, 2.1% of the vote in the first super 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.320 big go-round, the primary go-round. That was enough to get 0:09:30.340 --> 0:09:31.140 him on the ballot. 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.900 Kim Strassel of the Wall Street Journal, she's from Alaska, 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.350 and wrote a piece today on how Alaskans, we need 0:09:40.370 --> 0:09:44.449 to ditch the ranchos voiding. I understand why people thought 0:09:44.470 --> 0:09:45.670 it was a good idea. I used to think it 0:09:45.690 --> 0:09:46.870 was a good idea when I'd hear about it, but 0:09:46.890 --> 0:09:50.050 it clearly does not work out that well in practice. 0:09:51.130 --> 0:09:55.060 Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh, and the other. 0:09:55.140 --> 0:09:59.190 Interesting nugget, we'll have to find the audio on this, is, uh, Patella, the. 0:09:59.110 --> 0:10:05.240 Democrat, the woman. uh running uh behind this ruse and 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.100 lying about it the whole time blasting the new york 0:10:08.140 --> 0:10:11.350 times the new york times doesn't know anything about affordability 0:10:11.370 --> 0:10:13.590 in alaska they don't know what we're paying for groceries 0:10:13.630 --> 0:10:16.329 and so the new york times the evil new york 0:10:16.350 --> 0:10:18.690 times you know how they hold back democrats all across 0:10:18.730 --> 0:10:21.660 america you know how that is I wish, oh, I 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.069 wish I could reach into every American home. Oh, you're 0:10:24.090 --> 0:10:27.550 going to slap her too? No, no, no, no, no, 0:10:27.850 --> 0:10:32.420 not yet anyway. Although, where do I start? Okay, reaching 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:37.290 into every American home. And tell them, but groceries is 0:10:37.429 --> 0:10:41.170 not a good counter argument to you ran a fraud candidate. 0:10:41.590 --> 0:10:43.949 And it's not a good counter argument to I'd like 0:10:43.970 --> 0:10:46.820 to impose or you want to impose Sharia law on 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:51.160 America and turn it into, you know, an outpost of ISIS. Yes, 0:10:51.260 --> 0:10:55.800 but groceries. That's not a good argument. We know groceries. 0:10:55.820 --> 0:10:58.700 We know inflation has happened. We hate it. Everybody hates it. 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.150 But that's not a good argument. Secondly, back to whether 0:11:02.170 --> 0:11:05.030 it was Margaret Benin or that other insufferable woman, as 0:11:05.130 --> 0:11:07.650 I'm reminding myself of some of the particulars of this, 0:11:09.030 --> 0:11:11.689 the decoy Dan, as they're calling him, which is a 0:11:11.990 --> 0:11:16.640 pretty good nickname. There's no evidence that he was not sincere. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:21.620 His campaign website hasn't been updated for six weeks. It 0:11:21.660 --> 0:11:25.620 includes like two pictures and a blog post. And that's it. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:30.100 It's ridiculous. Oh, my God. 0:11:30.380 --> 0:11:31.860 MAGA party would have been a pretty good way to 0:11:31.900 --> 0:11:32.580 confuse people. 0:11:34.340 --> 0:11:35.540 Yeah, that would have drawn some votes. 0:11:35.580 --> 0:11:36.820 I wonder why they backed off of that. 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.040 I don't know. Thought it was too much. 0:11:41.500 --> 0:11:44.540 I think that makes more sense than finding another guy 0:11:44.580 --> 0:11:46.480 with the same name and pretending it's real. 0:11:48.570 --> 0:11:52.330 I was chatting with some friends and acquaintances last night 0:11:52.370 --> 0:11:56.610 at a lovely, lovely presentation for Halloween week about Edgar 0:11:56.650 --> 0:12:01.250 Allan Poe. It was absolutely fascinating. Anyway, we agreed that 0:12:01.350 --> 0:12:04.390 this seems to be a low point in American politics. But, 0:12:04.490 --> 0:12:07.370 you know, let's just anybody who says, boy, this is 0:12:07.429 --> 0:12:09.790 as bad as it's going to get is just a fool. 0:12:10.910 --> 0:12:12.610 The trend line is unmistakable. 0:12:13.410 --> 0:12:15.710 Let's start the show officially before we get in trouble. 0:12:15.750 --> 0:12:17.730 I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. 0:12:17.790 --> 0:12:18.030 It is. 0:12:18.090 --> 0:12:21.290 How did it already get to be Thursday, October 29th, 0:12:21.510 --> 0:12:23.870 the year 2026? We're Armstrong and getting we approve of 0:12:23.910 --> 0:12:26.820 this program. Let's begin officially then, according to FCC rules 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:27.780 and regs at Mark. 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:28.640 2-1 pitch. 0:12:28.820 --> 0:12:29.400 Palacios. 0:12:29.780 --> 0:12:34.240 Ground ball, second base. Terang has it. Goes to first. Unshakable. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:34.840 Unstoppable. 0:12:34.900 --> 0:12:37.040 And champions at last. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.280 The wait is over. 0:12:40.220 --> 0:12:42.520 The Brewers have won the World Series. 0:12:46.820 --> 0:12:47.720 That's so great. 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.300 That's a dang good team. I wish you could put 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.300 them up against other, like... you know, single year, everything 0:12:54.340 --> 0:12:56.740 came together teams and to see how they would do, 0:12:56.820 --> 0:12:58.000 because that is a good team. 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.140 Yeah. Yeah. Super happy for the people in Milwaukee. That's 0:13:01.179 --> 0:13:03.020 just great. They're such great sports fans. 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:03.920 Yeah. 0:13:04.140 --> 0:13:05.179 It was like they won at home. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:09.170 Wisconsin, you know, just the Wisconsin. Yeah. 0:13:09.190 --> 0:13:11.890 We got Katie's headlines on the way. The economic news 0:13:12.010 --> 0:13:15.630 for the economy growing just came out. So this looks 0:13:15.690 --> 0:13:18.990 like they're calling it brisk growth. In some reports, that'd 0:13:19.010 --> 0:13:21.250 be good news for the Republicans in the final days 0:13:21.309 --> 0:13:23.570 of the election. See, the economy's fantastic. 0:13:23.630 --> 0:13:25.449 Ignore gas prices. Huh? 0:13:25.809 --> 0:13:28.530 Fake Dan Sullivan? We've got a lot on the way. 0:13:28.550 --> 0:13:28.890 Stay here. 0:13:29.710 --> 0:13:41.810 Armstrong and Getty. 0:13:41.830 --> 0:13:43.569 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:13:43.590 --> 0:13:47.990 Rise and shine, give them time. Tola up in Alaska 0:13:48.150 --> 0:13:50.750 actually said that the New York Times just wrote this 0:13:50.790 --> 0:13:56.439 to get subscriptions and sell newspapers. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. 0:13:56.480 --> 0:14:00.719 The New York Times famously biased against Democrats. 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:07.540 Yeah. Oh, boy. Michael was just going through email to 0:14:07.620 --> 0:14:10.689 prepare a mailbag. I have two words for you. See 0:14:10.730 --> 0:14:15.730 if you can decode this. Alvin Green. We have not 0:14:15.770 --> 0:14:19.270 heard from Alvin this season, and it's long overdue. Let's 0:14:19.310 --> 0:14:21.110 figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with 0:14:21.130 --> 0:14:22.270 Katie Green. Katie, get it. 0:14:22.710 --> 0:14:26.430 All righty, the Alphabet Networks, ABC, NBC, and CNN all 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.400 sticking with the Alaska governor ordering a probe into the 0:14:30.500 --> 0:14:32.140 effort to confuse Senate voters. 0:14:32.260 --> 0:14:33.480 Oh, she's going to get to the bottom of this. 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:34.380 Oh, yes, she is. 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:36.420 Hilarious. 0:14:38.590 --> 0:14:39.630 Wall Street Journal, U.S. 0:14:39.670 --> 0:14:43.320 Economy picked up speed with GDP growth at 3.4% in 0:14:43.340 --> 0:14:44.040 the third quarter. 0:14:44.100 --> 0:14:47.900 And you know why that's good news? Because it beat expectations. 0:14:48.460 --> 0:14:51.500 What does that mean? They never give you a paragraph 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.500 on that because they just know we all understand the 0:14:54.540 --> 0:14:59.330 whole expectations game when it comes to economic things. Makes 0:14:59.370 --> 0:15:02.850 me so angry. And or, and I like mine better, 0:15:03.190 --> 0:15:07.780 the major media, most media is utterly incurious. They just 0:15:07.860 --> 0:15:10.240 repeat what they think they're supposed to repeat and go 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.010 about their days. They don't investigate. They don't learn. They 0:15:14.030 --> 0:15:15.290 don't communicate. They're terrible. 0:15:16.770 --> 0:15:17.650 I thought this was silly. 0:15:17.690 --> 0:15:18.450 CBS News. 0:15:19.530 --> 0:15:24.580 Ted Cruz calls Abdul El-Sayed the jihadist leprechaun. 0:15:25.940 --> 0:15:26.480 Is he short? 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:27.340 Yeah. Oh, yeah. 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:28.720 I didn't know that. How tall is he? 0:15:28.740 --> 0:15:29.240 He's a little guy. 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.680 How little is he? Like 4'6? 5'8-ish, I think. You 0:15:32.700 --> 0:15:38.000 can't have him in the Senate. Certainly not. Jihadist leprechaun? 0:15:38.140 --> 0:15:43.760 Who called him that? Ted Cruz. Oh, he did? Wow. Damn. 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:50.700 Jihadist leprechaun is pretty funny. And Barack Obama gave a 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.180 speech last night saying the Republicans are unserious people. 0:15:53.470 --> 0:15:56.870 Where do you get off? All the comedy comes from 0:15:56.930 --> 0:15:57.350 our side. 0:15:57.390 --> 0:15:59.270 Come on. Yahoo Sports. 0:15:59.470 --> 0:16:03.260 World Series 2026. Brewers beat the Rays in Game 5 0:16:03.260 --> 0:16:07.120 to win first title in franchise's 57-year history. 0:16:07.140 --> 0:16:11.960 How about that unpronounceable name pitcher they got, Miziorowski? Good grief. 6'7, 0:16:12.020 --> 0:16:15.100 looks like he's a high school kid. Throws 103 mile-per-hour fastballs. 0:16:18.260 --> 0:16:22.720 I remember setting the gun to 90 miles per hour 0:16:22.780 --> 0:16:24.640 in a batting cage when I was playing high school 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.260 baseball and watching that ball shoot by you like a bullet, thinking, 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:35.160 that's impossible. Now 100, 103, 104. Yikes. New York Times, 0:16:35.250 --> 0:16:36.450 or I'm sorry, New York Post. 0:16:37.050 --> 0:16:41.950 Diabetic Aeromexico passenger fumes as he's denied boarding flight with 0:16:42.030 --> 0:16:44.270 his Great Dane service dog. 0:16:45.190 --> 0:16:46.610 His service dog is a Great Dane. 0:16:46.770 --> 0:16:51.140 Yes. That's pushing the bounds there, Pedro. 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.340 You can't bring a pony on the plane. 0:16:53.620 --> 0:16:53.880 Right. 0:16:54.900 --> 0:16:59.460 Study finds doctors may be losing skills to AI without 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:00.560 even realizing it. 0:17:00.750 --> 0:17:01.610 Oh, wow. 0:17:01.810 --> 0:17:07.010 So, wow. People's writing ability, math ability is declining with AI. Doctors' 0:17:07.050 --> 0:17:07.590 ability to. 0:17:07.770 --> 0:17:08.490 Ooh, that's rough. 0:17:08.790 --> 0:17:08.909 Yeah. 0:17:08.930 --> 0:17:10.230 It's universal. 0:17:11.730 --> 0:17:16.100 And finally, the Babylon Bee. Zombie at Halloween party? Turns 0:17:16.180 --> 0:17:17.460 out to just be Mitch McConnell. 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.919 Oh, wow. He's an elderly man. Why'd he come in 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.199 for a kicking? Another joke. 0:17:23.580 --> 0:17:27.880 Zombie leprechaun, jihadist leprechauns, zombie oldsters. 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:29.310 None of this. Raise the rhetoric. 0:17:29.460 --> 0:17:31.700 Yeah. When we come back, we'll raise the rhetoric. 0:17:35.570 --> 0:17:37.510 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:39.310 --> 0:17:42.560 This week, presidential elections were held in Israel. And so far, 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.220 there is no clear winner. Netanyahu is asking all members 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.000 of Hezbollah to wait by their pagers for the results. 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.169 I know. I like it. 0:17:53.010 --> 0:17:54.790 We can talk a little bit about the Israeli election 0:17:54.810 --> 0:17:57.050 coming up a little bit later. But a personal story 0:17:57.090 --> 0:17:59.230 for those of us here at the radio station. It 0:17:59.250 --> 0:18:01.190 was just announced there is no water in the building. 0:18:01.270 --> 0:18:03.419 And I was on my way to get water in 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:07.280 my water bottle as I'm extraordinarily thirsty. And there is 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:12.710 zero water. other than what's in the toilet bowl currently. 0:18:12.730 --> 0:18:15.070 So you're not going to be able to flush the toilet. 0:18:15.090 --> 0:18:16.109 Can I drink out of the toilet? 0:18:16.890 --> 0:18:21.530 Is that unbecoming? But there's zero water anywhere of any kind. 0:18:21.630 --> 0:18:25.790 So living out in the country, when the water gets 0:18:25.850 --> 0:18:31.470 shut off, the whole toilet situation becomes a problem very quickly. Sure, right. 0:18:32.050 --> 0:18:35.570 And I'm extraordinarily thirsty also. I'm really, really thirsty. So 0:18:35.609 --> 0:18:38.090 I just door dashed. a case of water, which will 0:18:38.130 --> 0:18:38.410 be here. 0:18:38.330 --> 0:18:40.790 In just a few minutes. And I thought, while I'm 0:18:40.810 --> 0:18:42.930 door-dashing water, might as well get donuts. So a box 0:18:42.970 --> 0:18:47.050 of donuts is coming with water. But, yeah. Let's do 0:18:47.070 --> 0:18:47.780 the math again. 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:49.760 I'm actually very thirsty. 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:51.000 Very. 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:53.699 And there's no water anywhere in the building. This has 0:18:53.740 --> 0:18:54.960 got to be some sort of OSHA thing. 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.160 Well, I would think so. The water jug is not. 0:18:59.680 --> 0:18:59.920 No. 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.280 That's a line, isn't it? It's not a jug. 0:19:02.300 --> 0:19:05.510 Yeah, they've got a line that goes into the fridge now. 0:19:05.590 --> 0:19:06.190 Nothing's working. 0:19:06.210 --> 0:19:12.100 There's zero water. Oh, so lawsuits or something. I don't know. Oh, yeah. 0:19:12.220 --> 0:19:16.600 I mean, this is this is terrible. Power will probably 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:17.660 go out. Is it breezy? 0:19:18.060 --> 0:19:22.320 So we have a new term for this thing that 0:19:22.340 --> 0:19:24.980 we've talked about a few times, but it is growing 0:19:25.060 --> 0:19:27.240 as a problem. Katie just brought it to us in 0:19:27.290 --> 0:19:30.770 a headline. It is called de-skilling. 0:19:31.090 --> 0:19:31.590 A.I. 0:19:31.670 --> 0:19:34.730 De-skilling is the term that we're all going to settle upon, apparently. 0:19:35.390 --> 0:19:38.879 We've talked some about people losing their ability to write 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.640 or do math. I've mentioned several times that I have 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:48.109 PhD professor friends who say they've lost their ability to 0:19:48.150 --> 0:19:51.100 write and they can see it in their stupidity. that 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.600 they're losing their abilities from ai which. 0:19:53.900 --> 0:19:56.240 I got keeping in mind the baseline we're talking about 0:19:56.260 --> 0:20:01.220 you know current college students it's it sounds crazy to 0:20:01.260 --> 0:20:03.160 me i mean because it doesn't seem like you could 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:09.260 possibly lose your skills that quickly but enough people are 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:12.379 saying it that i guess it's true it just it 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.050 doesn't seem like you'd atrophy that fast does it you 0:20:16.150 --> 0:20:17.830 use ai a few times to do math and all 0:20:17.850 --> 0:20:20.090 of a sudden three and two i have no idea 0:20:20.410 --> 0:20:21.610 i mean how does anybody's guess i. 0:20:21.550 --> 0:20:25.170
