On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we prepare for Donald Trump’s incoming administration as the new Republican coalition—from the establishment, conservatives, and populists to the new converts and centrists—prepare for the largest out-of-the-gate “Day One” of any administration in U.S. history. We’ll dive into recess appointments, Senate hearings, executive orders, and the magic of Sen. Mitch McConnell’s warning—no, not the rumor mill about appointments—but the classic McConnell warning and prophecy from 2013 (and its fulfillment via Trump). Trump sets the chess board with the biggest pieces he can find, and the swivel-chair bureaucrats weep massive tears. Also, we’ll dig into a deep and meaningful conversation about the Christmas season sweet tooth.

S1 Ep 207Ep. 208 - An Inside Look at Trump's Dream Team
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we dive into the star-studded cast of nominations President-elect Donald Trump has announced so far for his second administration. They include Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.; Gov. Kristi Noem, R-S.D.; Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y.; former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark.; border czar-to-be Tom Homan; and more by the minute. Why pick a power-packed posse of prominent pals to staff the Cabinet of an administration? It all comes down to three things: experience, expectations, and expedience. These three characteristics are most likely to define the first 100 days of the second Trump administration. Former CIA officer Kevin Shipp joins us to discuss his new book “Twilight of the Shadow Government: How Transparency Will Kill the Deep State.” What changed to make President Harry Truman regret founding the Central Intelligence Agency only two years later? Where does America’s intelligence apparatus need to be, and why can’t it live up to what Americans expect of it? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

S1 Ep 206Ep. 206 - The Election is KamalOVER & Democrats are in Denial
While a scant few Democrats reconsider the direction of the party in the wake of Kamala Harris' humiliating defeat at the hands of former president Donald Trump, many party members and the legacy media refuse to admit her awful candidacy. President Joe Biden addresses the country, and his smile leaves millions guessing if there was something more to the coup-driven, dementia-riddled old man. No corner of the left is safe from the infighting, not even The View and its coven of salty pallbearers. Jonathan Butcher and E.J.

S1 Ep 204Ep. 204 - Early Voting Ends, the Final Round Begins
As early voting has wrapped up, Elise McCue joins “The Tony Kinnett Cast” to discuss what could be the craziest and most contested Election Day in decades. McCue brings a fresh perspective from one of Donald Trump’s final rallies of the campaign, held Saturday in Virginia, which was thought to be a blue state, but is now being seen possibly as up for grabs. Likewise, New Hampshire sits on the precipice of being won by the Republican presidential candidate for the first time since 2000. The legacy media has put its thumb on the scale in favor of one side, but Americans might not be as receptive to their message as in previous elections. Join us tomorrow, Nov. 5, for a legendary marathon of live election coverage from the new “Tony Kinnett Cast” studio as McCue and Kinnett bring you updates, analysis, and a selection of brilliant guests from 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday to 1 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

S1 Ep 203Ep. 203 - Kamala Keeps Digging
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we examine the possible effects of Vice President Kamala Harris’ resolute decision to continue diving deeper into divisive politics and far-left rhetoric as the contested Nov. 5 election draws near. Speaking of Nov. 5, join us beginning at 6 p.m. EST that fateful Tuesday evening for our ultimate election coverage, straight from the show’s new studio! The guests will be legendary, and the live coverage even better!

S1 Ep 199Ep. 202 - Guts, Glory, and Biden's Garbage
With just six days to go before the presidential election, we spend this episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast” watching the current president of the United States make life a living hell for his vice president. President Joe Biden’s comment about half of Americans being “garbage” may not have been enough to swing the election in former President Donald Trump’s favor by itself, but it may have turned attention enough away from Trump to make a serious impact. Show producer Lou Scataglia joins us live from the critical swing state of Pennsylvania to discuss drama and potential electioneering at polling places, as well as voter turnout efforts by both parties. The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you. Donate now The legacy media continue to embarrass themselves and the nation with more “Republicans POUNCE” headlines, changing transcripts and quotes at will in order to create a narrative more suitable to their electoral preferences. Will it be enough to make an impact? That used to be a question think tanks struggled to answer fully, but by God, we can finally do the question justice. Join us on Nov. 5 beginning at 6 p.m. EST that fateful evening for our ultimate election coverage, straight from the show’s new studio! We’ll go until we’re ready to call the race, even if that means our producers collapse from lack of sleep.

S1 Ep 201Ep. 201 - Overflow: What Trump Seeks & Kamala Avoids
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we examine one of the greatest dichotomies in a two-party presidential election. Former President Donald Trump canvasses the nation seeking to create as big a tent for the Republican Party as possible, resulting in massive events sold out, even in traditionally blue cities. Vice President Kamala Harris, on the other hand, has spent her entire political career excluding those not on the far left, specifically many men, Christians, and Republicans. In California, there are enough on the far left that one doesn’t need moderates or bipartisan support to win elections. In swing states? Not so much. Trend lines continue to increase for Trump and slide further down for Harris. Both of these approaches come down to overflow. Do you seek it or throw it away? We go live to The Daily Signal’s Virginia Allen in North Carolina to learn about the continuing hurricane disaster-recovery efforts, how the Tar Heel State’s communities perceive federal assistance, and whether the past few months have changed any hearts or ballots. Speaking of ballots, join us on Nov. 5 beginning at 6 p.m. EST that fateful evening for our ultimate election coverage, straight from the show’s new studio! We’ll go until we’re ready to call the race, even if that means our producers collapse from lack of sleep.

S1 Ep 199Ep. 199 - Republicans' Early Voting Stampede
As Tulsi Gabbard officially joins the Republican Party, JD Vance crushes the legacy media, and Donald Trump continues a surge in swing states, early voting numbers under the new RNC leadership of Michael Whatley and Lara Trump have the entire Democratic Party in full panic. Every swing state and several formerly "Lean Blue" states are now in question, with Harris campaign staff and surrogates openly admitting they are losing their grip on the Rust Belt swing states entirely. Leaks from inside Democrat strategy meetings reveal many state staffers believing Harris & Walz will lose on Nov. 5th. We're joined by Mary Rooke of The Daily Caller to discuss her new documentary, "Cleaning Up Kamala." Renowned former professional boxer David "Nino" Rodriguez joins the show to chat about his career, personal struggles, and the importance of never giving into suicide.

S1 Ep 198Ep. 198 - The October Surprisathon
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we bask in the torrent of October surprises that might topple a presidential campaign. From Israel and Iran leaks to brand new plagiarism allegations, these toxic events might be enough to flip the Electoral College in unforeseen ways. What if it doesn’t? Joy Pullmann, executive editor of The Federalist, joins us to talk about how the Biden-Harris administration is planning to crack down on any postelection violence (depending on which party wins, of course). Either way, the Nov. 5 election promises to be a doozy. Speaking of Nov. 5, join us beginning at 6 p.m. ET that fateful evening for our ultimate election coverage, straight from the show’s new studio! We’ll go until we’re ready to call the race, coming back each day come Hell or high water until the results are confirmed. In the meantime, political parties and legacy media outlets are beginning to create the narratives that will shape postelection America and the celebrations or mournful excuses that come along with it. With the campaigns so uncertain and the polls trending toward Donald Trump, even the Los Angeles Times is refraining from tossing its endorsement hat into the race.

S1 Ep 197Ep. 197 - Would You Like Those Swing States for Here or to Go?
Would you like those 19 electoral college votes for here or to go? This latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast” examines former President Donald Trump’s latest bid to win swing states like Pennsylvania by working at a local McDonald’s. While the Harris-Walz campaign and legacy media called Trump’s day serving fries a “fake,” the Harris-Walz campaign has failed to produce any evidence that Vice President Kamala Harris worked at a McDonald’s in the 1980s. What other candidate claims are under scrutiny this election season? We’ll dig into those details and the scandals that follow on this episode. You’d think that with just over two weeks until the election, candidates everywhere would be disciplined and careful. You’d be wrong. Speaking of Nov. 5, join us beginning at 6p.m. ET that fateful evening for our ultimate election coverage, straight from the show’s new studio! We’ll go until we’re ready to call the race, coming back each day come Hell or high water until the results are confirmed. With election analysts already claiming we won’t know the results for several days, Americans are prepared for at least a week of legal battles and shenanigans of every sort! We’ll dig into what you can expect and how to approach it circumspectly.

S1 Ep 194Ep. 194 - Kamala's Frantically Flailing Freakout
The latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast” is all about the frantic flailing attacks and overused platitudes thrown out from the Harris-Walz campaign just weeks away from the election. From criticizing the music the Trump campaign plays at rallies to repeating the same Disney musical phrases over and over, the Harris campaign seems desperate to do anything—ANYTHING—that just might move the polls in her favor before Nov. 5. Speaking of Nov. 5, join us beginning at 6 p.m. ET that fateful evening for our ultimate election coverage, straight from the show’s new studio! We’ll go until we’re ready to call the race, even if that means our producers die from lack of sleep. Also on this episode, Kimberlee Josephson, professor of business at Lebanon Valley College, joins us to discuss the implications of over 1,200 Walgreens pharmacies shutting their doors over the next few years, the potential effects on their communities, and what could replace them.

S1 Ep 191Ep. 193 - Kamasculinity
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we gaze in amazement at the brutal failure of ads by a political action committee supporting the Harris-Walz ticket attempting to appeal to men in the name of “masculinity.” The sheer chaos that followed with just three weeks left until the presidential election has everyone, including former President Barack Obama, scrambling. In this episode, we cover the bizarre image of masculinity the Harris-Walz campaign has created and the demographics it is likely to hemorrhage because of it. What makes a man manly, and is it really about “rebuilding a carburetor,” as the ad states (if you even have one in your car or truck anymore)? Additionally, Gabriella Hoffman from the Independent Women’s Forum joins us to talk sportsmanship and conservation, both in this election and in national policy—and maybe even a little bit about elephant ears. We also answer a few key questions listeners and viewers have sent in about things like polling trends, where we get our news for the show, and what the future is for conservatism post-election! It’s time we threw out some answers to the big questions in this election season that aren’t full of fluff, meandering, and comprised of redundant platitudes.

S1 Ep 192Ep. 192 - The Cost of an Unfinished Coup
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris learn the consequences of a failed coup. When you shiv your boss in the back only half-way, leaving him a vegetable in the Oval Office, but in the office all the same, you run the risk of his anger and bitterness at betrayal coming back to haunt you. Not only is the nation learning about the cost of the Oval Office coup, but of a similar power struggle between hyper-progressives, far-left activists against Israel, and the more moderate, corporate Democrats of old. This cost of picking Minnesota governor and far-leftist Tim Walz over the more moderate Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro, may be just as high as the Oval Office coup. We sit down with Mandy Gunasekara, former chief of staff for the Environmental Protection Agency, to discuss a bevy of issues, including pollution policy, climate change, Bill Nye, and midwestern rivers. Her new book is an instant classic you don’t want to miss! Finally, we answer a few of your questions in “Mail Time,” both the serious and unserious.

S1 Ep 185Ep. 191 - Kamala's Rust Belt Nightmare
Live from Wisconsin with special co-host Dr. Matt Davis of Maranatha Baptist University: The biggest battle on the national stage is not between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, but appears to be between Harris and the current president, Joe Biden. On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast” live from the swing state of Wisconsin, Tony Kinnett and Maranatha Baptist University CEO Matt Davis bring you the breaking news from the Rust Belt “Blue Wall” the Harris/Walz campaign must maintain to make it to 270 electoral votes. Hurricane Milton continues to plaster Florida as other southeastern states struggle to recover from Hurricane Helene. Legacy media outlets have attempted to use the tragedies as a scapegoat for few bad economic numbers unconnected to these brutal storms. We dig into a special segment of “Awful Tweets” with Jerry Lopez, @IndySpanglish on Twitter/x, and the other horrible social media posts that float around this big, beautiful internet.

S1 Ep 190Ep. 190 - Kamala's "Media Blitz" is a DISASTER
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we watch with morbid fascination as the Harris-Walz campaign flips from a basement strategy to a strut through a media tour (well, a tour of the media that sings its praises). Vice President Kamala Harris horrifies Americans on friendly interview shows as hurricane survivors attempt to prepare for a second major storm. The least the media could have done was refrain from editing her worst answers, as a very friendly “60 Minutes” did with her answer on Israel. Thank goodness we have the recordings of both cuts of the interview and we play them for you on the show. We also examine the phenomenon of “poll delay” and why it could cost both campaigns severely in the presidential elections. How long do serious regional and national events take to affect poll numbers? How can you tell? Friend of the show and assistant professor Nick Dwork of the University of Colorado stops by to analyze the plateauing of artificial intelligence and to explain where the future of the field is (fantasy-horror dystopian future not included).

S1 Ep 189Ep. 189 - Harris Tries to Run Out the Clock on a Tie Game
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we observe the unusual strategy of the Harris-Walz campaign trying desperately to pad out the remainder of the election season with less than a month to go. Vice President Kamala Harris may be able to stick this tie game out, but only time and the prophetic pundits will tell! Hurricane Milton reaches Category 5, threatening the Southern United States and the survivors of Hurricane Helene. The Federal Emergency Management Agency comes under fire; some of it is justified, some of it is not. Former President Donald Trump’s “Return to Butler, PA” rally may have affected Pennsylvania more than originally thought. Either way, his opening statements were undoubtedly and unequivocally some of the best made by a presidential candidate in U.S. history, regardless of one’s political ideology.

S1 Ep 188Ep. 188 - Billions for Everyone but North Carolina
North Carolina continues to suffer under the weight of the horribly run Federal Emergency Management Agency. On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we list the countless billions spent on everyone but American citizens by the very agencies constitutionally obligated to give them aid. The legacy media sits in awkward silence as allegations of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff’s domestic abuse circulate on social media. How many times did any other political candidate or their spouse get this kind of polite ignorance, and does this kind of wink-and-nod favor any particular political party? We dig into some “Mail Time,” and answer some of the burning questions, both serious and unserious, sent in by viewers and listeners every week!

S1 Ep 187Ep. 187 - Biden HUMILIATED by Republican Governors
Republican governors clean up President Biden’s mess, the world still doesn’t care what the unelected wife of the president thinks, and scammers are just as annoying as ever. On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we give you the tools you need to avoid scams online, offline, and at the ballot box. Jerry Lopez, @IndySpanglish on Twitter/X, joins us for another round of “Awful Tweets,” the segment where we take the worst social media posts from all platforms you can find and then mock them on the air. Rebecca Downs from Townhall.com stops by to deliver a few overlooked points from the vice presidential debate between Senator JD Vance of Ohio and Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, and perhaps a touch of scorn for the often anti-semitic members of Congress trying to pander to Jewish voters.

S1 Ep 186Ep. 186 - The Harris/Walz Campaign is Running on "Empty"
After a disastrous vice presidential debate, embarrassment on the world stage from Israel and Iran, and a crippling longshoremen’s strike, a desperate last-minute move signals that the Harris/Walz campaign has finally run out of ”vibes,” “joy,” and ideas. On this latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we dig into each of these three reasons in rapid succession, with other startling evidence to outline just how deep of a hole the Biden-Harris administration is in. With these dark horses of the Harris-Walz political campaign corralled, we examine the last card up the sleeve of special counsel Jack Smith against former President Donald Trump. Will it be enough to revivify the Democrats’ electoral chances? Only time will tell.

In the run-up to Election Day, this final scheduled debate might be far more important than the vice presidential debate has been in the past. With Hurricane Helene’s destruction, foreign war escalation, labor strikes along the East Coast, economic uncertainty, and immigration chaos along the southern border, we’ve never seen a more dramatic election-year October.

S1 Ep 184Ep. 184 - Kamala's Catch-22
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we explain why the Biden/Harris administration was in trouble whether they put time into hurricane relief or Harris/Walz campaign rallies over the weekend. In what could only be described as a modern iteration of “Catch-22,” the Biden/Harris administration has left itself either a prematurely ended tenure or a dangerous crash landing. Daniel Elmore joins us from North Carolina to cover the aftermath of the worst floods some of its towns have ever seen, the heartache and fear of families desperate to find missing loved ones, and the outrage of millions over the millions sent in foreign aid instead of disaster relief and recovery. The humiliation of the United States on the global scale intensifies as Biden is left out of the loop on crucial strikes by Israel against the terror organization and Iranian proxy Hezbollah, who has so many recent leadership openings, there may not be enough terrorists’ left to apply for the positions. What does this mean for Pax Americana, and what on earth do we do about it? Finally, we look towards our five-hour coverage of the Vice Presidential Debate between Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio and Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, with special guests and hard-hitting analysis galore with the steady coverage you can’t get anywhere else!

S1 Ep 183Ep. 183 - Kamala Wins "Bad Campaign BINGO"
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we watch in mixed amusement and bemusement as Vice President Kamala Harris wins what can only be described as a veritable “BINGO” of bad presidential campaign circumstances just 38 days before the general election. War in the Middle East as the U.S. sits impotent, a struggling economy, scandals galore, rising crime, and a chaotic southern border are only a few of the messes the Biden/Harris administration preside over. While millions look to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for its electoral votes and swing state status, Gabby Hoffman from the Independent Women’s Forum stops by the cast to outline a stronger argument for the Keystone State’s importance. You might even say the argument is so powerful, it’s almost “nuclear.” With another brutal hurricane and tropical storm under our belts, we take a closer look at why the United States consistently has a better response to natural disasters than other nations. There’s far more to storm and disaster readiness than infrastructure—and every one of these factors derive from the spirit of the American people. Finally, we dig into a bit of “Mail Time” and the questions many of you have sent in this week to answer! In this tumultuous election season, we’ll try to get through as many serious (and silly) questions as possible!

S1 Ep 182Ep. 182 - Losing an Election in 39 Days
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we cast our lots on the key determining factor of every American presidential contest: which candidate is going to make a mistake in the final stretch that costs them the election? Who is going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Vice President Kamala Harris has been effectively (if not forcibly) zip tied to President Biden after comments made on The View and at the White House, despite her best efforts to distance herself throughout the campaign. Concurrently, former president Donald Trump seeks to specify his policy positions on abortion, contraceptives, and the Russo-Ukraine War. Nick Solheim of American Moment stops by to discuss Americans’ reaction to the second assassination attempt on Trump and how legacy media’s attempted “memory holing” has resulted in a truly visceral reaction from the average U.S. citizen. Jerry Lopez, @IndySpanglish on X, joins us for another rousing segment of “Awful Tweets,” in which we take the worst social media posts and headlines from the week and mock them with the scorn they deserve. Finally, we examine the latest conspiracy theories surrounding New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ corruption indictment. Are these charges really the result of speaking out against migrants? If not, then where could they have come from? Prior Daily Signal reports on both Adams’ relationship to illegal immigration in New York City and foreign corruption scandals may hold a more likely explanation.

S1 Ep 181Ep. 181 - Kamalardiac Arrest
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we watch in awe as the Harris/Walz campaign goes into “Kamalardiac” arrest. Despite unleashing forty-two different political strategies to give the Harris/Walz campaign momentum, this election still appears to be a dead heat. What do Taylor Swift, star-studded interviews, a convention spectacle, Oprah, and a sitcom dad/Midwestern governor have in common? Meanwhile, President Biden’s appearance on The View can only be described as disastrous. In a campaign where Harris has tried to distance herself from the Biden administration, the president’s comments tying Harris to the economy, border, and foreign policy decisions leave the Harris/Walz campaign in a precipitous position. We examine the reactions from Congress, the Secret Service, and former president Trump to reports of assassination plans and attempts from Iran. Who’s running security for presidential candidates and officials? What will it take for voters to take institutional gaps and failures seriously Finally, we speak to the nearest and dearest issue to all Americans’ hearts: road construction. How do we create a competent plan for keeping the roads in good order, and who’s responsible when they aren’t?

S1 Ep 180Ep. 180 - Everything is Election Interference
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we bring the metaphorical first aid kit to the knife fight that has become this presidential election. With scarcely over a month and two weeks until that sacred American voting day, the swing states reach a fever pitch. With Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky touring the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania alongside Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro—things are anything but normal. Meanwhile, former president Donald Trump gives $100 to a mother of three in a Pennsylvania grocery store and pundits on the left scream “election interference.” When do private actions shift into electoral moves, and are there any common standards we can agree on? Bob Unanue, president of Goya Foods, stops by to talk about the release of his new book and the shift of Hispanic communities in the United States—a shift in how they’re perceived, how they vote, and how they’re trafficked. Finally, we have a heart-to-heart about political scandals and what to do (and not to do) in a skeletons-out-of-the-closet, five alarm forest fire of social media outrage.

S1 Ep 179Ep. 179 - Here Comes the Sun...Belt
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we watch the battle for the swing states of the Rust Belt, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, take the Harris campaign’s attention away from the swing states of the Sun Belt, specifically Arizona and Nevada. Will the policy shift levy a massive shift in the polls—or is this more media humbug and nonsense in an election where everything is already decided? And what does Nebraska of all places have to do with it? The world stage gets more chaotic as Israel begins operations in southern Lebanon in some of the most targeted military strikes of all time. President Biden appears to completely forget where he is and who he is in the meantime, while Jill Biden steps into her Edith Wilson shoes as the nation looks on in horror. Finally, we parse a bit of breaking data on the various unions and their election endorsements and involvement. The traditional “90s labor Democrats” demographic may have one good gasp of air left before being lost to the pages of history, and what a doozy of an election to swing!

S1 Ep 178Ep. 178 - Scraping the Bottom of the Electoral Barrel
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we take a closer look at the fake high of the U.S. stock market after a slight rate reduction from the Federal Reserve. At last, we scrape the bottom of the barrel in this election cycle as both candidates pull out all of the stops for the voters beginning to receive absentee and mail-in ballots. Bill Wirtz from the Consumer Choice Center joins us to talk about former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the populist energy he’s bringing not only to the Trump-Vance campaign but possibly a new presidential administration. What would his policies mean for U.S. agencies and the citizens’ lives their regulations restrict? Rebecca Downs from Townhall.com stops by to give us the down low on the U.N.’s latest condemnation and tut-tutting from anti-Western nations and radical Islamic terror groups. What would we do with the U.N. building were the United States to pull out of the organization? What constitutes a human rights violation in international law?

S1 Ep 177Ep. 177 - Promises, Panic, and Hispanics
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we dive into the details on the neck-and-neck race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump as the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and (almost) North Carolina are hit with a tsunami of promises from the candidates. Harris goes after Hispanic voters in what might be the most unique strategy seen yet in American politics. Does a 5th accent really impress potential voters, and will the trend of Hispanic voters shifting red continue? Why are Americans so apathetic towards the U.S. Constitution, and what could drive them back to it? Lathan Watts, the vice president of public affairs for the Alliance Defending Freedom stops by to tackle a subject plaguing the minds and hearts of this battered republic’s citizens for decades. It’s time to dig out the Federalist Papers and dust off that old pocket Constitution, because we have work to do! Israeli intelligence continues to light up the pockets of Hezbollah terrorists as conspiracy theorists and foreign agents shout concerns over a “new age” of terrorism. Is every smart phone a bomb waiting to explode? What roles do foreign intelligence services have in offensive operations and what culpability do they share with their national government? Finally, we hit the entertainment industry for a few surprising updates about what Disney’s animators were reportedly told about their sequel to “Inside Out.” Are we finally out of the tunnel of forced political writing? No, but the light at the end of this cavern could at last be visible.

S1 Ep 176Ep. 176 - Pager? I Hardly Know Her!
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we examine the complete failure of two separate interviews with Vice President Kamala Harris and what it means for both the Biden/Harris administration and the Harris/Walz campaign. Speaking of the campaign, where is the bump in polls after the debate, and what does former president Donald Trump’s second survived assassination attempt have to do with it? We stop in with Dr. Lindsey Burke, Director of the Center for Education Policy at the Heritage Foundation to chat about an overdue tool for students and parents considering college choices in an age where academics aren’t the priority at many institutions. The latest data visualization tool from Heritage makes a serious attempt to bridge the gap between data and those trying to make sense of it. Israeli intelligence shook the world today when a series of pager explosions in Lebanon showcased a serious breach of security, a worse breach of common sense, and a critical victory in Israel’s war against Iranian proxy terror networks like Hezbollah of Lebanon, the Houthis of Yemen, and Hamas of Gaza. Finally, we break through a bit of culture and entertainment to round off an already crazy week of news and insanity!

S1 Ep 175Ep. 175 - You Don't Hate the Media Enough
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we deliver the quick news and analysis on the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump before we cover his remarks to the nation on X Spaces live. The corporate media’s coverage of the attempt on the former president’s life is not only as misleading and scornful as it was on the prior attempt two months ago, but could be considerably worse, given the victim-blaming coming from left-wing outlets, such as NBC News. Why are some so desperate to keep this event from being covered honestly? Rep. Jim Banks, R.-Ind., joins us to dive into the details. The polls continue to show Vice President Kamala Harris trailing in swing states following her debate with Trump. With early voting and absentee ballots starting to hit mailboxes in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, things could get interesting quickly. Finally, we examine the latest trends in immigration from the southern border to the great Midwest. Anyone up for cooked goose? And what’s the difference between a cat and a chicken on the grill?
