The Tom Sullivan Show

Can you say dirty tricks? The New York Times reports Peltola campaign associates and DSCC aides helped recruit a second Alaska Senate candidate named Dan Sullivan to confuse voters. Peltola’s campaign denies it, no court has ruled, and the DOJ is suing to block certification if the incumbent loses. The Florida “ghost candidate” case that led to felony convictions was in 2020, and prosecutors said recruiting a spoiler isn’t illegal by itself. Stay tuned. Israel’s election is up for grabs: Netanyahu’s bloc has 53 seats, Eisenkot’s 48, and Arab parties a record 19, with 61 needed and few willing to work with them. And the Fed held rates, with two dissents for a hike.

At two-hour rallies you have to talk about something, and the big hits have been Cheesecake Factory jokes, Sen. Husted’s physique, and Nicki Minaj’s butt. The topics aren’t the point. The goal is to get the MAGA base to show up and head off a blue wave. The DOJ is taking a third swipe at James Comey, charging him by criminal information over a 2016 leak, with his lawyers arguing the statute of limitations already expired. We were told revenge was coming, and it clearly is. And the Fed meets today and tomorrow, with no rate change expected but a December hike priced in.

Gas Under Trump and Biden Averages Almost Exactly the Same, $3.47. Trump Says It’s Much Lower, but It Depends How You Measure. Corruption Tops the Fox Poll. Anthropic, Maker of Claude, Files for a Record IPO Description:Guess what? Per AAA, gas averaged $3.472 under Trump’s second term and $3.471 under Biden. Trump says it’s much lower than Biden’s, but it depends on how you measure: the day he took office (about $3.09), today ($4.29), Biden’s peak ($5.02), or the average. Just the facts. Corruption now tops the Fox News Poll of voter concerns, ahead of inflation and gas prices. And Anthropic, maker of Claude, filed to go public on the Nasdaq as ANT. Reports say it could raise up to $100 billion, which would beat SpaceX’s record IPO. We cover what the filing shows, with no investment advice.

Tyler Robinson turned himself in, and prosecutors say he confessed in texts to his roommate, yet his defense wants a trial in 2029, while Utah proposes January 2028. Robinson pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent, and the defense says a capital case needs the time, but why so long? The judge rules today. The Ramaswamy ad still dominates Ohio’s governor race, and the NYT and ABC report the U.S. and Israel have drawn up Iran strike plans, most likely for after the elections.

The Ramaswamy ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother has Republicans split, with Governor DeWine, Kasich, and Portman saying take it down and Trump and Vance saying keep it up. Either way, it’s getting both candidates lots of attention. With 12 days to go, do you believe the polls? After the Wedgewood fake-poll scandal, aggregators pulled its numbers, but real pollsters weren’t involved. Does Putin really want a peace deal, or is he playing Trump while eyeing Eastern Europe? And if so, will Trump be remembered as the Neville Chamberlain of our time? Critics say yes, and the administration says no. We lay out both sides.
