Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Nov 2 2026

Welcome back in Clay and Buck. We head up to Alaska now, joined by our friend, the real Dan Sullivan. It has been absolute chaos. Haley Stevens endorses Abdul El-Sayed. Ilan Omar married her brother. And still, the craziest story, I think, is what's going on in Alaska right now, where my understanding is the fake Dan Sullivan, no one knows where he is. He has fled his home. Nobody can get in touch with him.

Senator Sullivan, the real Dan Sullivan, can you tell us what is going on there on the ground in Alaska and how things sit on the eve of the election?

Dan Sullivan (0:41)

Hey, Clay and Buck, great to be back on the show. And yeah, the decoy candidate, remember, that's all part of the Peltola Schumer scheme. A year and a half ago, they hatched a secret plan to cheat Alaskans. They got that guy. He's not a real candidate. He's only in it to rig it for Peltola. He's gone. Who the heck knows where he is? A Bahamas, who the heck knows? But it just shows what a scam and how much disdain Peltola Schumer have for Alaskans, right? I mean, Peltola has tried to make her campaign about DC corruption and the rigged system. There is nothing more rigged and corrupt in DC than when she and her aides and Schumer and his aides decided that they were going to run for this office, that their first order of business was how to cheat Alaskans, how to have a nationwide conspiracy to steal votes from the people, the great people I have the honor of representing.

And now it's blown up in their face. And by the way, Peltola and Schumer and all their aides are still lying. Clay and Buck, but if you read the New York Times story, holy cow, you want to talk about a smoking gun of corruption?

That's what we're seeing. We're going to win because we have truth on our side.

We're speaking to Senator Dan S. Sullivan. Remember, that's Dan S. Sullivan, everybody in Alaska.

And he is with us now. And sir, now that people have, I think, had the time to catch up on the latest shenanigans of Decoy Dan, the Peltola campaign's knowledge, and all the rest of it. Is there a mounting disgust among Alaskans that you talk to on the campaign trail that this was clearly an underhanded attempt to essentially nullify people's votes or misdirect votes?

Dan Sullivan (2:40)

There's no doubt that this story has broken through not just in Alaska, but nationally. And look, what people have to do now, the bad news is, guys, the scheme is working, right? The Decoy guy's on the ballot.

They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars undertaking this scheme. They had shady characters from the lower 48 coming up with guys who, you know, disguised their name. The scheme is working. I'm going to lose a lot of votes to this guy.

There's just, that was what they wanted, to steal the votes from Alaskans. That's the bad news. The good news, to your point, is I think enough Alaskans are disgusted by this. And I want to again encourage all Alaskans, the way we make sure that they're cheating. This is Peltola. This is Schumer and their aides at the highest level. That's why this is a national scandal. The way we make sure that they're cheating doesn't work, that their disdain and contempt for Alaskans doesn't succeed is for all Alaskans to get out and vote. And here's something, guys, that we're hearing about. We're seeing examples of people with Peltola signs in their yards, removing them. So I'm asking the people who are thinking about voting for Peltola.

We know that, you know, we might have some policy differences. We actually, I have huge policy differences from Peltola. But I'm sure you weren't counting on backing a corrupt person. She's still lying about this scheme. She is the epitome of DC corruption in a rigged system. There's nothing more rigged than this, guys. And it is, like I said, I think it's breaking through. But to all Alaskans, we have truth on our side. And the people get out and vote today, tomorrow. Do not let the biggest cheating scandal in electoral history in Alaska succeed.

What do you see based on turnout? I know it's tough to judge. I know there's all sorts of challenges. Alaska because of how wide and expansive your vote voting area is, it can be hard to tell. What are you seeing on the ground in terms of early turnout and what do you need to see tomorrow?
