WEBVTT - We're All Dan Sullivan 0:00:09.580 --> 0:00:13.399 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:13.460 --> 0:00:18.450 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong 0:00:18.530 --> 0:00:24.590 and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:30.690 --> 0:00:34.910 From studio c c senor. 0:00:34.190 --> 0:00:37.650 Welcome to another live presentation of the sullivan and sullivan 0:00:37.670 --> 0:00:41.210 show i'm dan sullivan he's dan sullivan with traffic dan 0:00:41.250 --> 0:00:44.270 sullivan later with the world series upstate are your sports 0:00:44.350 --> 0:00:47.089 reporter dan sullivan we're all dan sullivan. 0:00:48.620 --> 0:00:50.940 And today we will be bringing you all the information 0:00:50.979 --> 0:00:53.980 you can possibly stand and we're toiling under the title 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:55.280 of the show would. 0:00:55.140 --> 0:00:58.200 The real dan sullivan please stand up or if you 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.620 prefer and i'm ashamed of this one Milwaukee Brews Up 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:04.060 win for the ages. 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.819 Just so obvious. Brews Up. Yeah, just so. The beer town, 0:01:08.860 --> 0:01:16.610 the brewers. Coyingly, stupidly mainstream media-y. Yeah, sorry. I used 0:01:16.690 --> 0:01:20.930 Milwaukee's best after their last win. I blew it. 0:01:21.150 --> 0:01:22.610 I blew it. 0:01:22.870 --> 0:01:27.589 That was for today. Not a good beer, Milwaukee's best. Mm-hmm. 0:01:28.450 --> 0:01:31.650 Maybe forget my problems. Serve it cold, because as soon 0:01:31.670 --> 0:01:36.190 as it warms up a little. Yeesh. That was my 0:01:36.250 --> 0:01:39.350 first realization. You know, you're probably drinking too much when 0:01:39.770 --> 0:01:43.270 my rock and roll band would rehearse, and we would 0:01:43.290 --> 0:01:45.709 drink cold Milwaukee's Best, and there would be several left over, 0:01:45.750 --> 0:01:47.090 and I would go the next day, and they would 0:01:47.110 --> 0:01:49.330 be sitting there warm, and I would grab one, pop 0:01:49.370 --> 0:01:52.230 it open, and no, not open. Oh, okay. No, good lord. 0:01:52.250 --> 0:01:54.470 Not leftover open ones. Okay, good. No, no, no, no. 0:01:54.510 --> 0:01:56.230 Just to sit in there, and I'd pop one open, 0:01:56.270 --> 0:02:00.020 drink it at room temperature. So I don't know. My 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.740 favorite part of the Dan Sullivan story is might be 0:02:03.860 --> 0:02:07.960 that they had bandied about the idea of starting. And 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.540 this is almost all this stuff is is perfectly legal. 0:02:12.419 --> 0:02:15.800 But if somebody asks you and you say you didn't 0:02:15.820 --> 0:02:17.620 do it and get caught, you're a liar. So then 0:02:17.650 --> 0:02:20.730 you got that. But they were bandied about the idea 0:02:20.770 --> 0:02:24.549 of starting a MAGA party to confuse people. But they 0:02:24.590 --> 0:02:27.360 gave up on that one. Not the Democrats in Alaska 0:02:27.380 --> 0:02:31.790 we're talking about. Yes. Well, not just Alaska, because according 0:02:31.810 --> 0:02:35.609 to the New York Times, it went up to the 0:02:35.669 --> 0:02:38.769 national level of the people who run all the Senate campaigns, 0:02:38.870 --> 0:02:42.380 and the people right beneath Schumer were aware of the 0:02:42.419 --> 0:02:46.380 whole Dan Sullivan trick. So it goes up to the 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.480 national level. But again, it's not illegal. Should we. 0:02:49.169 --> 0:02:51.630 Should we deliver a nut graph on this, or do 0:02:51.650 --> 0:02:52.919 you assume everybody's up to speed on it? 0:02:52.930 --> 0:02:54.829 I assume everyone's up to speed on it, yes. I 0:02:54.870 --> 0:02:57.430 don't know if that's a safe assumption. That there were 0:02:57.450 --> 0:03:00.430 two Dan Sullivans in Alaska? You don't think people know that? Well, yeah, 0:03:00.630 --> 0:03:02.110 that one. That one, everybody knows. 0:03:02.150 --> 0:03:04.250 Yeah, but the fact that the New York Times, the 0:03:04.290 --> 0:03:08.250 New York Times of all places, explosively got to the 0:03:08.290 --> 0:03:10.130 bottom of it and found out, yeah, it was absolutely 0:03:10.150 --> 0:03:13.149 a deliberate plot. They were recruiting Dan Sullivans for months. 0:03:13.470 --> 0:03:17.350 They've been lying about it the entire time. It's just ridiculous. 0:03:17.380 --> 0:03:21.769 Not illegal. You just got caught lying. So is that 0:03:21.790 --> 0:03:25.169 going to damage? Does that bother people, I wonder? I 0:03:25.190 --> 0:03:29.010 don't know. I think it will. Absolutely it will. It should. 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.269 She's still denying she had anything to do with it, 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:32.440 which is pathetic. 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:37.420 Well, it'll do damage because she's an absolute lying liar. 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:42.370 Mary Patolta. The angle I find funny is, like I 0:03:42.380 --> 0:03:46.070 just heard it on NPR, people reporting this is like, 0:03:47.250 --> 0:03:49.210 There were two Dan Sullivan's on the ballot and one 0:03:49.250 --> 0:03:53.640 of them wasn't serious. See, that's that's the part that 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.760 drives me nuts. I watched Face the Nation on Sunday 0:03:56.780 --> 0:03:59.460 where Margaret Brennan had the attorney general on there and 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.360 he was fighting this whole Dan Sullivan battle in Alaska. 0:04:03.380 --> 0:04:06.690 And she kept saying, look, there's no evidence that the 0:04:07.110 --> 0:04:10.990 other Dan Sullivan is not legitimately running. And he's like, what? 0:04:11.050 --> 0:04:13.630 Are you kidding? So all these media outlets acting like 0:04:13.690 --> 0:04:17.820 this is news that the other Dan Sullivan was a charade. 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.839 Of course it was. It's just, you know, whether it 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.840 was orchestrated by the candidate or not is the only question. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.200 Of course it was phony. 0:04:26.220 --> 0:04:28.540 I don't know how you can watch those shows without 0:04:28.580 --> 0:04:33.310 going insane. I mean, suggest that there's no evidence. I mean, 0:04:33.730 --> 0:04:37.029 I can barely restrain myself from, like, firing F-bombs around. 0:04:37.430 --> 0:04:42.980 The guy's a lifelong Democrat with no political involvement or 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:49.240 experience than happens to decide to run for the Senate 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.540 against a guy with the same name and even, Margaret. 0:04:52.620 --> 0:04:57.530 You lying bitch. Sorry. I'll stand by it unless it 0:04:57.550 --> 0:05:00.910 was that other lion bitch. Then I got the wrong one. Sorry. 0:05:01.270 --> 0:05:03.150 I'm a little fired up here. Katie, we need to 0:05:03.190 --> 0:05:06.810 hold hands. Let's get fired up. We are fired up. 0:05:06.810 --> 0:05:08.950 We're both scared. We need to comfort each other. This 0:05:09.010 --> 0:05:12.169 is not a safe space. You're mewling, you little weasel. 0:05:12.290 --> 0:05:14.950 Exactly right. This is not a safe space. I feel unsafe. 0:05:15.230 --> 0:05:19.800 I'm feeling triggered. So listen, but it's worse than that. 0:05:20.060 --> 0:05:23.500 The guy actually applied to the election commission in Alaska 0:05:23.820 --> 0:05:24.159 to be. 0:05:24.140 --> 0:05:28.560 Listed as Dan S. Sullivan. The exact name of the incumbent, 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.540 even though his middle freaking name starts with a J. 0:05:31.980 --> 0:05:36.159 There's no evidence that this, I would never raise my 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.100 hand to a woman, but I might hire a woman 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.030 to do it for me. Katie, what are you doing 0:05:41.050 --> 0:05:44.630 this afternoon? Free as a bird. Can I give you 0:05:44.630 --> 0:05:46.480 $ 10 to go slap this woman? Because I can't. I'm 0:05:46.540 --> 0:05:47.940 a man. Oh, I'd do it for free. That would 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:53.660 be abhorrent. I would never do that. But here's a tenner. Well, 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.760 and the other part of it is he hasn't campaigned 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.220 at all. So, I mean, it's not like he's out 0:05:58.260 --> 0:06:00.700 there on the trail making it look like he's a candidate. 0:06:00.730 --> 0:06:06.400 There is no evidence that he– oh, my God. Dan 0:06:06.420 --> 0:06:09.180 Sullivan must be a common name everywhere or just in Alaska. 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:10.800 I don't know what, but they found a bunch of 0:06:10.820 --> 0:06:14.380 Dan Sullivan's in a very tiny state and they only 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.160 convinced one to actually run. And he's in a really 0:06:17.339 --> 0:06:19.820 isolated village where you got to like take a plane 0:06:19.860 --> 0:06:21.380 and then ride a whale. And I mean, there's all 0:06:21.420 --> 0:06:24.430 kinds of stuff you got to do to get there. 0:06:24.620 --> 0:06:27.290 And they talked to me, Trump so much, he is 0:06:27.310 --> 0:06:28.950 willing to run all the way. Like, again, he doesn't, 0:06:29.350 --> 0:06:31.470 doesn't actually have a campaign and he's not out there 0:06:31.529 --> 0:06:35.900 pretending to run. Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? 0:06:36.779 --> 0:06:39.400 The other interesting part of that New York Times article 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.980 was the fact that the former campaign manager is the 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.100 biggest source of this whole story. So this TOLA woman 0:06:47.140 --> 0:06:49.500 apparently is really brutal on her staff and lots of 0:06:49.540 --> 0:06:53.080 people quit or she fires them. She gets explosive like 0:06:53.100 --> 0:06:57.320 Joe just did. So this guy quit, the campaign manager. 0:06:57.620 --> 0:06:59.440 He goes to the New York Times, tells this story. 0:06:59.580 --> 0:07:04.320 Then at the end... He says, I'd like to retract 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.510 all this stuff. He got cold feet. He chickened out. Well, 0:07:07.570 --> 0:07:10.470 it's a woman, but sometimes women have jobs, too, Jack. 0:07:11.030 --> 0:07:13.530 That's right. So it's funny. I just assumed it was 0:07:13.570 --> 0:07:16.710 a man. But the campaign manager chickened out. Time says 0:07:16.790 --> 0:07:19.710 too late. Sorry. I mean, you already told us. I'd 0:07:19.730 --> 0:07:21.920 like to retract everything I said to you. And they're like, 0:07:22.330 --> 0:07:26.420 that's not a thing. As the kids say these days. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.720 Because God knows what old Peltola threatened her with. That's 0:07:30.780 --> 0:07:34.730 a sort of Alaskan frontier justice. Skin her like a seal, 0:07:34.810 --> 0:07:37.010 God knows. Tie her to a post and let the 0:07:37.050 --> 0:07:40.150 polar bears have at her. Who knows what this woman's 0:07:40.190 --> 0:07:46.250 capable of? Trafficking in some Alaska stereotypes, though we're on 0:07:46.330 --> 0:07:47.550 two stations in Alaska. 0:07:47.910 --> 0:07:51.310 We are, and honored to be on in both Fairbanks 0:07:51.350 --> 0:07:53.650 and Anchorage. And shout out to folks in. 0:07:53.990 --> 0:07:59.360 The stunningly, amazingly beautiful state of Alaska. I was kind 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:04.530 of interested. Oh, and thanks for the oil. Yes, sorry, 0:08:04.550 --> 0:08:06.410 you were saying? I was kind of interested in how 0:08:06.450 --> 0:08:08.860 many people were going to vote for the other Dan Sullivan. 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:10.860 I thought that might be a good test, because we're 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.220 always asking how many people who vote, you know, the 0:08:13.260 --> 0:08:16.560 elections are controlled by the numbnuts who barely pay attention. 0:08:17.570 --> 0:08:20.090 All the time and effort you put into watching cable news, 0:08:20.150 --> 0:08:23.350 reading articles, whatever it is, reading the guidebook and everything 0:08:23.390 --> 0:08:26.760 like that. The people that decide who actually wins or 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.120 loses in close election, they have no idea what's going on. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.140 Those are the people that make the decision for all 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.449 of us. On our government. And I thought this would 0:08:36.470 --> 0:08:38.280 be a good test of what the percentage actually is. 0:08:38.309 --> 0:08:41.710 How many people voted for the other Dan Sullivan because 0:08:41.730 --> 0:08:44.809 they're completely unaware of this story. Even with all the 0:08:44.870 --> 0:08:47.050 attention it's gotten. I can't imagine how much attention it's 0:08:47.070 --> 0:08:49.030 getting in Alaska. But I'm sure there was going to 0:08:49.050 --> 0:08:53.790 be single digits. Three to nine percent of people who 0:08:53.830 --> 0:08:58.110 are completely unaware. The whole Dan Sullivan ruse and pick 0:08:58.130 --> 0:09:01.469 the wrong one. Oh, yeah, absolutely true. And in a 0:09:01.550 --> 0:09:04.270 close election, this one seemed like it was going to 0:09:04.309 --> 0:09:06.050 be and may still be. Yeah, that would be more 0:09:06.070 --> 0:09:08.510 than enough to turn the tide. It's worth mentioning that 0:09:08.630 --> 0:09:10.470 Alaska is one of the few states that has ranked 0:09:10.590 --> 0:09:12.630 choice voting, which struck me as a good idea when 0:09:12.670 --> 0:09:14.380 I first heard about it. But I guess it's just. 0:09:15.070 --> 0:09:18.950 logistical nightmare and confuses people and just doesn't work the 0:09:18.990 --> 0:09:22.410 way it ought to. Partly because voters can't spend 10 0:09:22.410 --> 0:09:26.980 minutes to familiarize themselves with it. But the fake Dan Sullivan, 0:09:27.179 --> 0:09:31.599 the fraud Dan Sullivan, he got, I believe, 2.1% of 0:09:31.620 --> 0:09:35.360 the vote in the first super big go-round, the primary go-round. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.800 That was enough to get him on the ballot. Kim 0:09:38.820 --> 0:09:43.959 Strassel of the Wall Street Journal, she's from Alaska, and 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.620 wrote a piece today on how Alaskans, we need to 0:09:46.740 --> 0:09:50.689 ditch the ranchos voiding. I understand why people thought it 0:09:50.710 --> 0:09:51.929 was a good idea. I used to think it was 0:09:51.950 --> 0:09:53.089 a good idea when I hear about it, but it 0:09:53.110 --> 0:10:00.280 clearly does not work out that well in practice. Yeah. Oh, 0:10:00.420 --> 0:10:02.740 and the other interesting nugget, we'll have to find the 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:07.320 audio on this, is Patella, the Democrat, the woman running 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.660 behind this ruse and lying about it the whole time. 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.990 Blasting the New York Times. The New York Times doesn't 0:10:16.020 --> 0:10:18.670 know anything about affordability in Alaska. They don't know what 0:10:18.690 --> 0:10:22.150 we're paying for groceries. The New York Times. The evil 0:10:22.170 --> 0:10:24.150 New York Times. You know how they hold back Democrats 0:10:24.450 --> 0:10:28.010 all across America. You know how that is. I wish 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.400 I could reach into every American home. Oh, you're going 0:10:30.420 --> 0:10:33.740 to slap her too? No, no, no, no, no. 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:38.620 Not yet, anyway. Although, where do I start? Okay, reaching 0:10:38.660 --> 0:10:41.950 into every American home. and tell them, but. 0:10:41.890 --> 0:10:46.469 Groceries is not a good counter-argument to, you ran a 0:10:46.510 --> 0:10:49.950 fraud candidate. And it's not a good counter-argument to, I'd 0:10:49.990 --> 0:10:52.989 like to impose, you want to impose Sharia law on 0:10:53.050 --> 0:10:57.350 America and turn it into, you know, an outpost of ISIS. Yes, 0:10:57.429 --> 0:11:03.330 but groceries, that's not a good argument. We know inflation's happened. 0:11:03.550 --> 0:11:06.000 We hate it. Everybody hates it. But that's not a 0:11:06.030 --> 0:11:09.340 good argument. Secondly, back to whether it was Margaret Brennan 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.579 or that other insufferable woman, as I'm reminding myself of 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.880 some of the particulars of this, the decoy Dan, as 0:11:16.900 --> 0:11:20.560 they're calling him, which is a pretty good nickname, there's 0:11:20.740 --> 0:11:22.819 no evidence that he was not sincere. 0:11:23.140 --> 0:11:27.810 His campaign website hasn't been updated for six weeks. It 0:11:27.850 --> 0:11:30.730 includes like two pictures and a blog post. 0:11:31.190 --> 0:11:37.100 And that's it. It's ridiculous. Oh, my God. MAGA party 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.720 would have been a pretty good way to confuse people. Yeah, 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.260 that would have drawn some votes. I wonder why they 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.780 backed off of that. I don't know. Thought it was 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:50.040 too much. I think that makes more sense than finding 0:11:50.100 --> 0:11:52.660 another guy with the same name and pretending it's real. 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.490 I was chatting with some friends and acquaintances last night 0:11:58.550 --> 0:12:02.800 at a lovely, lovely presentation for Halloween week about Edgar 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:07.429 Allan Poe. It was absolutely fascinating. Anyway, we agreed that 0:12:07.530 --> 0:12:10.570 this seems to be a low point in American politics, but, 0:12:10.670 --> 0:12:13.950 you know, anybody who says, boy, this is as bad 0:12:13.990 --> 0:12:17.210 as it's going to get is just a fool. The 0:12:17.270 --> 0:12:21.260 trend line is unmistakable. Let's start the show officially before 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.540 we get in trouble. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. 0:12:23.660 --> 0:12:26.839 On this it is, how did it already get to be? Thursday, 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.620 October 29th, the year 2026, where Armstrong and Getty and 0:12:29.660 --> 0:12:32.250 we approve of this program. Let's begin officially then, according 0:12:32.270 --> 0:12:35.530 to FCC rules and regs at Mark. 2-1 pitch, Palacios. 0:12:35.950 --> 0:12:40.550 Ground ball, second base. Parang has it. Goes to first. Unshakable. Unstoppable. 0:12:40.580 --> 0:12:47.000 And champions at last. The wait is over. The Brewers 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:54.670 have won the World Series. That's so great. That's a 0:12:54.710 --> 0:12:56.730 dang good team. I wish you could put them up 0:12:56.790 --> 0:13:02.309 against other, like, you know, single-year-everything-came-together teams and to see 0:13:02.350 --> 0:13:05.290 how they would do, because that is a good team. Yeah, yeah. 0:13:05.340 --> 0:13:07.059 Super happy for the people of Milwaukee. 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.360 That's just great. They're such great sports fans. Yeah. It 0:13:10.380 --> 0:13:15.339 was like they won at home. Wisconsin. You know, just Wisconsin. Yeah. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.079 We got Katie's headlines on the way. The economic news 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.820 for the economy growing just came out, so this looks 0:13:21.860 --> 0:13:25.160 like they're calling it brisk news. In some reports, that'd 0:13:25.179 --> 0:13:27.429 be good news for the Republicans in the final days 0:13:27.490 --> 0:13:31.630 of the election. See, the economy's fantastic. Ignore gas prices. Huh? 0:13:32.010 --> 0:13:34.730 Fake Dan Sullivan? We've got a lot on the way. 0:13:34.750 --> 0:13:43.110 Stay here. Armstrong and Getty. Peltola up in Alaska actually 0:13:43.190 --> 0:13:45.630 said the New York Times just wrote this to get 0:13:45.670 --> 0:13:51.210 subscriptions and sell newspapers. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. The New 0:13:51.250 --> 0:14:00.380 York Times famously biased against Democrats. Yeah. Oh, boy. Michael 0:14:00.780 --> 0:14:03.240 was just going through email to prepare a mailbag. I 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.260 have two words for you. See if you can decode this. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.180 Alvin Green. Oh, we have not heard from Alvin. No, 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.870 we have not. This season. And it's long overdue. Let's 0:14:13.890 --> 0:14:16.530 figure out who's reporting what. It's lead story with Katie Green. Katie, 0:14:16.570 --> 0:14:17.650 get it. All righty. 0:14:17.670 --> 0:14:21.650 The Alphabet Network's ABC, NBC and CNN all sticking with 0:14:21.770 --> 0:14:25.740 the Alaska governor ordering a probe into the effort to 0:14:25.770 --> 0:14:26.740 confuse Senate voters. 0:14:26.860 --> 0:14:28.600 Oh, she's going to get to the bottom of this. Oh, yes, 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:34.180 she is. Hilarious. Wall Street Journal, U.S. 0:14:34.260 --> 0:14:37.900 Economy picked up speed with GDP growth at 3.4% in 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:38.600 the third quarter. 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.479 And you know why that's good news? Because it beat expectations. 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.060 What does that mean? They never give you a paragraph 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.060 on that because they just know we all understand the 0:14:49.100 --> 0:14:54.130 whole expectations game when it comes to economic things. Makes 0:14:54.150 --> 0:14:54.670 me so angry. 0:14:55.390 --> 0:14:58.990 And or, and I like mine better, the major media, 0:14:59.030 --> 0:15:03.220 most media is utterly incurious. They just repeat what they 0:15:03.250 --> 0:15:05.480 think they're supposed to repeat and go about their days. 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.840 They don't investigate. They don't learn. They don't communicate. They're terrible. 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:12.220 I thought this was silly. 0:15:12.260 --> 0:15:19.160 CBS News. Ted Cruz calls Abdul El-Sayed the jihadist leprechaun. 0:15:20.500 --> 0:15:22.880 Is he short? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I didn't know that. 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.140 How tall is he? He's a little guy. How little 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.640 is he, like 4'6? 5'8-ish, I think. You can't have 0:15:27.660 --> 0:15:32.980 him in the Senate. Certainly not. Jihadist leprechaun. Who called 0:15:33.020 --> 0:15:39.870 him that? Ted Cruz. Oh, he did? Wow. Damn. Chihana's 0:15:39.930 --> 0:15:45.570 leprechaun is pretty funny. And Barack Obama gave a speech 0:15:45.630 --> 0:15:49.560 last night saying the Republicans are unserious people. Where do 0:15:49.580 --> 0:15:51.940 you get off? All the comedy comes from our side. 0:15:51.980 --> 0:15:53.840 Come on. Yahoo Sports. 0:15:54.060 --> 0:15:57.820 World Series 2026. Brewers beat the Rays in Game 5 0:15:57.820 --> 0:16:01.710 to win first title in franchise's 57-year history. 0:16:01.730 --> 0:16:06.530 How about that unpronounceable name pitcher they got, Miziorowski? Good grief. 6'7, 0:16:06.590 --> 0:16:10.930 looks like he's a high school kid. Throws 103-mile-per-hour fastballs. 0:16:12.830 --> 0:16:17.300 I remember setting the gun to 90 miles per hour 0:16:17.340 --> 0:16:19.220 in a batting cage when I was playing high school 0:16:19.260 --> 0:16:22.840 baseball and watching that ball shoot by you like a bullet, thinking, 0:16:23.140 --> 0:16:31.010 that's impossible. Now 100, 103, 104. Yikes. New York Post. 0:16:31.610 --> 0:16:36.530 Diabetic Aeromexico passenger fumes as he's denied boarding flight with 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.840 his Great Dane service dog. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:44.080 His service dog is a Great Dane. Yes. That's pushing 0:16:44.100 --> 0:16:47.490 the bounds there, Pedro. You can't bring a pony on 0:16:47.510 --> 0:16:47.930 the plane. 0:16:48.210 --> 0:16:48.470 Right. 0:16:49.470 --> 0:16:50.050 Study finds. 0:16:51.210 --> 0:16:55.120 Doctors may be losing skills to AI without even realizing it. 0:16:55.290 --> 0:17:00.050 Oh, wow. So, wow. People's writing ability, math ability is 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.080 declining with AI. Doctors' ability to... Ooh, that's rough. 0:17:03.340 --> 0:17:03.480 Yeah. 0:17:03.500 --> 0:17:04.780 It's universal. 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:10.660 And finally, the Babylon Bee. Zombie at Halloween party? Turns 0:17:10.740 --> 0:17:12.020 out to just be Mitch McConnell. 0:17:13.020 --> 0:17:16.520 Oh. Wow. He's an elderly man. Why'd he come in 0:17:16.540 --> 0:17:20.290 for a kicking? Another joke. Got zombie leprechaun... Jihadist leprechauns 0:17:20.310 --> 0:17:24.600 and Zombie oldsters? Let's raise the rhetoric. Yeah, when we 0:17:24.619 --> 0:17:29.690 come back, we'll raise the rhetoric. This week, presidential elections 0:17:29.730 --> 0:17:32.010 were held in Israel, and so far there is no 0:17:32.090 --> 0:17:32.690 clear winner. 0:17:33.190 --> 0:17:36.639 Netanyahu is asking all members of Hezbollah to wait by 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:37.959 their pagers for the results. 0:17:38.980 --> 0:17:42.510 I know. I like it. We can talk a little 0:17:42.530 --> 0:17:44.609 bit about the Israeli election coming up a little bit later, 0:17:44.650 --> 0:17:47.070 but a personal story for those of us here at 0:17:47.090 --> 0:17:49.270 the radio station. It was just announced there is no 0:17:49.369 --> 0:17:51.610 water in the building, and I was on my way 0:17:51.670 --> 0:17:55.080 to get water in my water bottle as I'm extraordinarily thirsty, 0:17:55.730 --> 0:18:00.280 and there is zero water other than what's in the 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.240 toilet bowl currently. So we're not going to be able 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.060 to flush the toilet. Can I drink out of the toilet? 0:18:05.820 --> 0:18:10.889 Is that unbecoming? But there's zero water anywhere of any kind, so... 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.240 Living out in the country, when the water gets shut off, 0:18:15.580 --> 0:18:20.399 the whole toilet situation becomes a problem very quickly. Sure, right. 0:18:20.980 --> 0:18:24.500 And I'm extraordinarily thirsty also. I'm really, really thirsty. So 0:18:24.540 --> 0:18:27.050 I just door dashed a case of water, which will 0:18:27.070 --> 0:18:29.250 be here in just a few minutes. And I thought, 0:18:29.390 --> 0:18:31.409 while I'm door dashing water, I might as well get donuts. 0:18:31.450 --> 0:18:35.730 So a box of donuts is coming with water. Let's 0:18:35.850 --> 0:18:39.889 do the math again. I'm actually very thirsty. Very thirsty. 0:18:40.790 --> 0:18:42.629 And there's no water anywhere in the building. This has 0:18:42.650 --> 0:18:45.570 got to be some sort of OSHA thing. Well, I 0:18:45.770 --> 0:18:49.620 would think so. The water jug is not... No. That's 0:18:49.630 --> 0:18:51.780 a line, isn't it? It's not a jug. Yeah, they've 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.100 got a line that goes into the fridge now. Nothing's working. 0:18:55.140 --> 0:19:01.040 There's zero water. So, lawsuits or something. I don't know. Oh, yeah. 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:05.919 I mean, this is terrible. Power will probably go out. 0:19:05.980 --> 0:19:09.730 Is it breezy? So, we have a new term. For 0:19:09.810 --> 0:19:12.940 this thing that we've talked about a few times, but 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.820 it is growing as a problem. Katie just brought it 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:20.500 to us in a headline. It is called de-skilling. AI 0:19:20.580 --> 0:19:23.680 de-skilling is the term that we're all going to settle upon, apparently. 0:19:23.700 --> 0:19:27.780 We've talked some about people losing their ability to write. 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.560 Or do math? I've mentioned several times that I have 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:37.030 PhD professor friends who say they've lost their ability to 0:19:37.070 --> 0:19:40.030 write and they can see it in their students that 0:19:40.050 --> 0:19:43.670 they're losing their abilities from AI. Keeping in mind the 0:19:43.670 --> 0:19:48.190 baseline we're talking about, you know, current college students. it's 0:19:49.010 --> 0:19:51.230 it sounds crazy to me i mean because it doesn't 0:19:51.310 --> 0:19:56.360 seem like you could possibly lose your skills that quickly 0:19:56.859 --> 0:20:00.439 but enough people are saying it that i guess it's 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.840 true it just it doesn't seem like you'd atrophy that 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:06.190 fast does it You use AI a few times to 0:20:06.210 --> 0:20:07.710 do math, and all of a sudden, three and two, 0:20:07.970 --> 0:20:13.230 I have no idea. I mean, how does that happen 0:20:13.250 --> 0:20:15.890 so fast after a lifetime of doing math in your head? 0:20:16.869 --> 0:20:21.090 But I've got my example of driving that I think 0:20:21.150 --> 0:20:23.530 is underreported. I always like to say this because I'm 0:20:23.550 --> 0:20:24.840 going to be on the cutting edge of the first 0:20:24.859 --> 0:20:27.890 person who ever said this. I believe my motorcycle wreck 0:20:27.990 --> 0:20:33.730 was caused by my self-driving car. 100% believe that. I 0:20:33.850 --> 0:20:36.930 know that when I get into my regular F-250 that 0:20:36.950 --> 0:20:41.000 I have to drive myself, I got to force myself 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.540 to pay attention because I've trained myself that, oh, yeah, 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:45.120 you can just look around or look at your phone 0:20:45.140 --> 0:20:48.619 or whatever, from doing it every single day in my Cybertruck. 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:51.200 That skill has deteriorated. I know it has, and I 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.220 think that's why I wrecked my motorcycle, which is horrible. 0:20:53.630 --> 0:20:57.889 But so this latest one about doctors, AI de-skilling. A 0:20:57.930 --> 0:21:04.590 story is out today. For instance... A 21% decline in 0:21:04.630 --> 0:21:09.970 detection rates of precancerous growth from before using AI to now, 0:21:10.030 --> 0:21:13.470 self-reported by the doctors. 21%? Yes. Just like, I don't know, 0:21:13.490 --> 0:21:15.439 I'm not as good at identifying anymore because I've been 0:21:15.500 --> 0:21:19.399 using AI to do it. So isn't that amazing? And 0:21:19.420 --> 0:21:22.859 that amount of time, again, it seems unbelievable to me 0:21:22.900 --> 0:21:24.679 like I can't believe it's true. 0:21:24.700 --> 0:21:27.310 How long have they been doing that, just out of curiosity? 0:21:27.330 --> 0:21:29.090 Because you keep bringing up in this amount of time, 0:21:29.109 --> 0:21:30.610 but I don't know the amount of time. 0:21:31.100 --> 0:21:34.950 Can't be very long. AI hasn't been around that long. Uh, 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:40.980 the weren't inexperienced physicians either. The average approximated 27 years 0:21:41.300 --> 0:21:45.310 on the job. Oh my gosh. Of being a doctor. Wow. 0:21:46.310 --> 0:21:50.570 And the other part of this whole AI de-skilling thing, 0:21:50.650 --> 0:21:52.710 which might be one of the biggest topics in the 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:58.140 world before you know it is that, um, People don't 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:02.679 realize their abilities are deteriorating necessarily, which it's funny because, 0:22:02.810 --> 0:22:06.189 like I said, I've got friends who are self-reporting. I'm 0:22:06.270 --> 0:22:11.510 self-reporting about my driving skills. Right. This could end up 0:22:11.570 --> 0:22:18.830 being a big topic. It's possible, I suppose, there's a 0:22:19.609 --> 0:22:22.430 pretty high floor on this, that your skills deteriorate a 0:22:22.550 --> 0:22:26.170 little but don't go any farther. But if that's not true... 0:22:26.790 --> 0:22:31.930 If they deteriorate this fast and there's not a floor, 0:22:31.950 --> 0:22:36.670 are we all just like completely unable to drive, do 0:22:36.750 --> 0:22:43.690 our jobs, feed ourselves within a year? Because of AI? 0:22:44.350 --> 0:22:49.170 I am so freaking thirsty. Sorry, I got distracted. Wow, 0:22:49.210 --> 0:22:51.490 do you not have water at home? Do you not 0:22:51.540 --> 0:22:53.170 drink water when you get up in the morning? I 0:22:53.230 --> 0:22:54.900 drank like an hour and a half ago. I need 0:22:54.920 --> 0:23:01.140 more water. This is unprecedented. It's horrifying. Anyway, yeah, it depends. 0:23:01.300 --> 0:23:03.020 I mean, skill to skill to skill. Some are much 0:23:03.060 --> 0:23:05.940 more important than others, and I'd imagine some deteriorate much 0:23:05.980 --> 0:23:08.540 more quickly than others. I don't know. 0:23:08.580 --> 0:23:12.700 This seems like a terrible idea, this experiment we're running 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:13.790 on humanity. 0:23:13.869 --> 0:23:16.520 It seems ill-advised. Can we abort it? 0:23:16.530 --> 0:23:19.790 I was just reading about the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment, 0:23:20.290 --> 0:23:24.570 which Netflix is recreating with a twist for your entertainment. 0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:29.409 And they aborted that infamous experiment because it got too 0:23:29.450 --> 0:23:30.290 crazy and too ugly. 0:23:30.630 --> 0:23:33.810 I think the whole AI experiment, same thing. Michael just 0:23:33.830 --> 0:23:35.870
