  Ep. 623 - OOPS: Insiders Panic as Democrat Senate Candidates Call Black & Women Voters Stupid & Poor

  Aug 17, 20261h 11mS1

  Subscribe to our new YouTube channel for special clips, behind-the-scenes content, and more from the show:  @TonyKinnettCast  Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel. Democrat Senate candidates keep making the same insulting argument against voter ID: that Black voters and women are too poor or too incompetent to get a REAL ID or birth certificate. It's condescending, it's not backed by the data, and Democrat insiders know it's a losing message heading into November. Meanwhile, Abdul El-Sayed's Islamist-funding problem in Michigan keeps getting worse, and the Iran ceasefire deadline just expired with President Trump telling Tehran to wave the white flag. TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN: - Senate Democrats like Jon Ossoff and Sen. Tammy Duckworth keep insisting Black voters and married women can't realistically obtain a REAL ID or birth certificate — we've got the data showing that's simply false, and why party insiders are worried this message is backfiring - Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate campaign faces mounting scrutiny after a Senate Judiciary hearing detailed his campaign's $115,000+ in donations from CAIR-linked donors, including his own father-in-law's ties to Muslim Brotherhood-connected groups - The 60-day U.S.-Iran ceasefire deadline expires today with no deal in sight — Trump tells Iran to "put up the white flag of surrender" as Tehran shifts to what it's calling a "maximum deterrence" posture - More as news breaks The Tony Kinnett Cast is The Daily Signal's nightly flagship show, hosted by national correspondent Tony Kinnett — covering the day's biggest stories with analysis, commentary, and guests from across the political and media landscape.

  Ep. 622 - Somali Temporary Protected Status ENDED, Luigi Mangione Pleads Guilty, Sayed in Trouble

  Aug 14, 20261h 17mS1

  Subscribe to our new YouTube channel for special clips, behind-the-scenes content, and more from the show:  @TonyKinnettCast  Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel. A federal judge's repeated stays blocking the end of Temporary Protected Status for Somalis finally ran out today, clearing the way for termination after months of what DHS called open defiance of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Luigi Mangione stood up in federal court and admitted it himself: "I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan, and he died" — a guilty plea that guts a year of online conspiracy theories and folk-hero mythmaking overnight. And Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is having the worst 48 hours of his campaign. TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN: - Temporary Protected Status for Somalia officially expires today after Judge Allison Burroughs' latest stay lapsed, following a Supreme Court ruling that lower courts can't override DHS on TPS terminations - Luigi Mangione pleads guilty in federal court to stalking charges tied to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, admitting "I shot Mr. Thompson" on the record — a plea that could still collide with his separate state murder trial next month - Chaos at the Iowa State Fair as Democrats stumble through soapbox season, with agriculture secretary candidate Chris Jones facing brutal blowback over resurfaced comments calling farming "not that hard" and Iowa farmers "wealthy, older white guys" - Abdul El-Sayed's campaign is reeling from two fresh scandals in 48 hours — records showing nearly 4,700 dogs and cats euthanized at Detroit Animal Control on his watch as health director, and his sister, a University of Chicago professor, resurfacing in old video celebrating October 7th - Is the Strait of Hormuz about to become a U.S. territory?

A Chinese intelligence official and trained sniper purchases a historic building overlooking the White House. Michigan's new Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is facing brutal online mockery after old reporting resurfaced showing Detroit's animal shelter had a 74% kill rate under his watch — while he campaigns today talking about his "beloved" dogs. Meanwhile, disgraced former Maine candidate Graham Platner is stepping back into public life for the first time since his campaign collapsed, and gun owners are celebrating after the DOJ quietly declined to appeal a landmark court ruling gutting nine decades of federal red tape on suppressors. TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN: - A MASSIVE report from the Daily Caller News Foundation details a Chinese Communist Party intelligence official and trained sniper's purchase of a historic building just 600 feet from White House grounds in Washington DC. Read the report here: https://dailycaller.com/2026/08/13/exclusive-ccp-intel-official-building-purchase-steps-from-white-house/ - Abdul El-Sayed faces backlash as resurfaced reporting shows Detroit's animal control had a 74% euthanasia rate under his leadership as health director, with a whistleblower lawsuit describing the shelter as a "slaughterhouse" — an awkward look for a candidate who campaigns on loving pets - Graham Platner makes his first major public appearance since ending his scandal-plagued Senate campaign, headlining a Labor Day rally near his hometown - The DOJ declines to appeal a landmark federal court ruling striking down NFA registration requirements for suppressors and short-barreled rifles as unconstitutional — the biggest Second Amendment win in over 90 years - The latest on the Strait of Hormuz as Iran's 60-day ceasefire deadline approaches this weekend with no extension in sight - CNN draws fire for framing a Mississippi woman's death with loaded imagery about the South's history — while quietly leaving out that the person arrested in connection with the case is her boyfriend, not a stranger The Tony Kinnett Cast is The Daily Signal's nightly flagship show, hosted by national correspondent Tony Kinnett — covering the day's biggest stories with analysis, commentary, and guests from across the political and media landscape.

Karoline Leavitt just announced she's stepping down as White House Press Secretary at month's end, a genuine shakeup less than three months from the midterms. Meanwhile, Attorney General Todd Blanche had a monster day at the DOJ — arresting the former SPLC CFO on fraud charges and busting one of the largest marriage fraud rings in U.S. history. And after last night's primaries thinned the socialist herd in Wisconsin and Minnesota, the survivors are already making their case for dumbest person in the Senate.

  Ep. 619 - Media Outrage Over Assassination Attempt, Heated Primaries & Results for Socialists & GOP

  Aug 11, 20261h 31mS1

  Subscribe to our new YouTube channel for special clips, behind-the-scenes content, and more from the show:  @TonyKinnettCast  Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel. Primary night is here in Minnesota and Wisconsin, with democratic socialists once again threatening to hijack the Democratic Party — and the GOP dealing with its own headaches. Meanwhile, the Washington Post just revealed President Trump secretly swapped planes in Turkey last month after intelligence uncovered a credible Iranian plot to shoot down Air Force One — and somehow the legacy media's outrage is aimed at the deception, not the attempted assassination. TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN: - Wisconsin Democrats are on track to nominate self-described democratic socialist Francesca Hong for governor, a former restaurant owner who'd be the nation's first socialist governor if she wins in November - Minnesota's Democratic Senate primary between Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and Rep. Angie Craig turns into a bloodbath, with Flanagan unable to escape her direct role in the state's $9 billion fraud scandal even from fellow Democrats - Republicans have their own circus brewing in Minnesota's governor primary, where MyPillow's Mike Lindell leads in the polls on a Trump endorsement — but faces fresh questions over his campaign finance violations and whether he even meets the state's residency requirements - The Pentagon races to close the drone gap with Ukraine and China, backing new domestic manufacturing plants as the U.S. shifts toward mass-producing cheap, expendable drones for a new era of warfare - The Washington Post reveals President Trump secretly swapped Air Force One for a decoy after intelligence uncovered a credible Iranian missile plot in Turkey — legacy media response: outrage that they weren't told The Tony Kinnett Cast is The Daily Signal's nightly flagship show, hosted by national correspondent Tony Kinnett — covering the day's biggest stories with analysis, commentary, and guests from across the political and media landscape.
