**Josh Holmes** (0:00)
The Ohio Democratic Congressional candidate who was arrested for attempting to swallow crack cocaine, slapping stranger at baseball game. They're not sending their best, Alex.

**Alex Bruesewitz** (0:10)
They don't seem to be, maybe actually they are. Maybe it might be their best. They pushed away every sane person in the world, and now they're left with this guy.

**Comfortably Smug** (0:18)
Poindexter swallow, and this is a drug quote, a whole freaking hot dog in one bite. Quote, he opened up one of the dollar dogs, and he shoved that whole thing in his mouth in one fell swoop, and just swallowed it.

**Josh Holmes** (0:31)
Taking down a full hot dog without biting is actually somewhat of a Democratic party trick here in Washington, DC.

**Michael Duncan** (0:36)
It's true.
America has a powerful advantage, abundant oil and natural gas right here at home. But energy security requires more than energy in the ground. It requires sustained production, resilient supply chains, and importantly, modern infrastructure like pipelines that move energy to the places it's needed, to families, businesses, and communities. Energy security is not just about what we produce. It's about whether we can deliver it safely, reliably, and efficiently when people need it most. That's how America protects consumers, supports our economy, and leads from a position of energy strength. Learn more at energiesecurityframework.org, paid for by the American Petroleum Institute.

Congratulations on all your success.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:50)

The only political podcast we're listening to is the Ruthless Podcast.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:58)
It's time for our main event.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:01)
The Ruthless Podcast.

**SPEAKER_8** (2:04)
Fun time Friday.

**Josh Holmes** (2:07)
Welcome back to the Ruthless Friday program. I'm Josh Holmes along with Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook left to write across your radio dial. Fellas, we have a special guest.
One of our absolute faves, Alex Brueswitz, thank you for coming in, bud.

**Alex Bruesewitz** (2:23)
Thanks for having me. It's great to be back with you, handsome gentlemen.

**Josh Holmes** (2:27)
It's time to have some fun.

**Alex Bruesewitz** (2:29)
Let's do it.

**Josh Holmes** (2:29)
It seems like you're living the good life, keeping up the fight.

**Alex Bruesewitz** (2:33)
Trying, man.

**Josh Holmes** (2:34)
Staying in the middle of the game.

**Alex Bruesewitz** (2:35)
The fun is really about to begin. A couple of months here and big elections coming up.

**Josh Holmes** (2:41)
Big elections? Yeah. You also have a formidable beard.

**Alex Bruesewitz** (2:44)
I'm working on it. I'm in a competition with Duncan here.

**Michael Duncan** (2:47)
Yeah.

**Michael Duncan** (2:48)
What the hell, dude?

**Alex Bruesewitz** (2:49)
Look, man.

**Comfortably Smug** (2:50)
Got beard mogged by Brueswitz.

**Michael Duncan** (2:51)
I got mogged.

**Michael Duncan** (2:52)
I got beard mogged.

**Alex Bruesewitz** (2:53)
You know, we still, we're still both working on it. The cheeks, it takes a while for the cheeks to come in.

**Michael Duncan** (2:58)
It really does. People don't realize that.

**Alex Bruesewitz** (3:00)
They don't, you know. You have haters out there with really developed beards and they forget what it looked like when they were starting out. And so, don't let them peer pressure you, bully you into shaving.

**Michael Duncan** (3:13)
I love it.

**Josh Holmes** (3:13)
Do you have a vision for where you want to take it?

**Alex Bruesewitz** (3:15)
I don't, actually. I just started growing it one day and we're going to see what the hell happens.

**Comfortably Smug** (3:20)
Full Santa Claus, go for it for Christmas. Yeah.

**Josh Holmes** (3:22)
Civil War.

**Alex Bruesewitz** (3:23)
We'll see what happens.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:24)
Let's go for the chop.

**Josh Holmes** (3:27)
Well, for those of you who don't remember Alex or you're new to the program, of which there's kind of a lot, thank you for everybody who's just kind of tuned in here over the last couple of months. Alex was sort of the mastermind of the podcast strategy that, of course, helped President Trump in his re-election in 2024 and has got not only an insight into a new media and how it's overtaken all of the corporate media, but just like modern communication, I would say.

**John Ashbrook** (3:56)
Yeah, that's true.
