Tony Kennett
Let's get down to business. You're listening to the Tony Kennit cast on 93WibcyTV here on the Daily Signal. Good evening and welcome to the Tony Kennedcast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated this evening, not in the usual studio, but here in our nation's capital. And I'll get into a little bit of why I'm here later. We got to get to the top story. Hillary Clinton is in deep, deep, deep sludge. Why is Hillary Clinton in deep, deep, deep sludge? Well, it all comes down to a series of file releases, both from Senator Chuck Grassley's office, who though being an older gentleman in the Senate, has one of the most intense hatred of classified documents that I've ever seen in a man. Every couple of months, Senator Grassley comes before the American people and just drops a load of recently declassified documents. Like your mother drops food on your plate when you go over and tell her that, you know, you're not hungry. That's Chuck Grassley. He's like, you don't want any declassified documents. Too bad. Here's yet another truckload of of declassified documents. So, so what are these documents out there, cuz? Cash Patel has weighed on this as well. So according to Chuck Grassley's office and I quote, newly declassified appendix to the Durham report. What's the Durham Report? Well, the Durham report was this investigation that the Biden administration was praising showing that all of Donald Trump's hallucinating about the Russia gate hoax being some crazy coordinated effort from Obama and Comey and Hillary and the DNC and all of that gang. Well, that was, you know, that was just a bunch of hooey. And then you had during swore before Congress. I promise this is all true. Well, wouldn't you know, a new appendix to the Durham report shows that not only did the Hillary Clinton campaign fully fund this Steele dossier that said that Donald Trump liked urine from Russian prostitutes and other very weird mad libs that only a junior hire could write in fan fiction, but also that Hillary Clinton worked with. I, I can't believe I'm, I almost can't believe this, but I, I really quite can. Hillary Clinton not only greenlit the smearing of Donald Trump as a Russian asset. Again, I know. I'm, I'm very surprised by such corrupt action from Hillary Clinton. When the Rolling Stone releases an article saying somehow Americans, according to the polling data, think Democrats are more corrupt than Republicans. How, how could this be shocking, electrifying? I mean, like a whole Eddie Grant's electric avenue worth of shock in this particular case, well, it turns out the corruption does in fact flow from the Democrats like the swampy, gross waters flow out of Chicago. Now, in this particular instance, Hillary Clinton not only greenlit the Russia investigation Steele dossier into Trump, but she knew all of the allegations were false and knew that the entire operation could be. Essentially, before every election, the intelligence community assesses what could go wrong. You know, could foreign countries get a little involvement here for the domestic intelligence agencies? Assess if anybody is going to get a little handsy with a voting machine, you know, maybe around Maricopa County. And there are some intelligence assessments that go out. They say, all right, is everything safe and secure? Have we battened down the hatches? And Hillary Clinton, as the Secretary of state at the time, scratched her strangely hair ridden chin and said, hmm, I can use this to go after Donald Trump. And Trump did, as I will remind each and every one of you, call all of this out back in that very famous debate that is still one of the greatest moments in presidential election debate history of all time.

Anderson Cooper
It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our.
- [04:53]
Tony Kennett
Country because you'd be in jail. Secretary Clinton and then Anderson Cooper, talk out loud, Please do not applaud. You're just wasting time. I love that so much. Anderson, viewer, please don't show that you don't care for Hillary Clinton. You're supposed to pretend that she's amazing and wonderful and that she always follows the law and crosses her T's and dots her eyes and doesn't, you know, leave US Troops to die. Hillary Clinton, according to various documents released by Chuck Grassley's office in this particular annex from the Department of Justice in the Office of the Inspector General, details FBI Director James Comey's handling of the Hillary Clinton illegal private email server, essentially what these documents show is that not only did Hillary Clinton directly greenlight this falsification of evidence in order to hurt Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton pushed the Steele dossier and the entire Russia election for Donald Trump hoax in order to direct public attention away from the Hillary Clinton email scandal. So, as you will recall, there was a major scandal going on at the time, because in the Obama administration, there was just scandal after scandal after scandal after scandal after scandal. And one of the major ones was that Hillary Clinton was storing a ton of private government documents, not just related to. Here's this trade deal I wrote up between me and a foreign leader. Look at it. Isn't it just the best you've ever seen? I kept a copy of it at Mar a Lago because I'm just so proud of it. And also, look, this is the kind of underwear that the Imam of Iran is wearing in case we ever wanted to drone strike him. That's the kind of stuff that Trump would keep. You'd have like George W. Bush. What kind of documents would he give? Oh, here's the, the baseball that I use down in Texas. That's the kind of stuff. George W. Bush. I know, Terrible George W. Bush impersonation. Gimme a break. What kind of stuff did Biden keep? Well, a lot more sensitive stuff, according to his ghostwriter. But Hillary Clinton's documents that she was keeping on private servers and now that we know was leaked to the Kremlin itself. That major scandal that should have had James Comey indicting Hillary Clinton for such crimes if no one was above the law. Well, according to these documents, it just so happens that emails show that, well, Hillary Clinton advised, along with James Comey that they push this Russia situation so that no one's gonna care very much about Hillary's emails. Now that is some obstruction of justice stuff. Pretty wild. And by the way, in case you're wondering out there, you know, for, for, for the, for the boys, girls and squirrels, how much hay the Democrats would make over a fake and seditious false intelligence report that was pushed to obstruct justice and the normal operations of the federal government over the next four years. I got a little reminder for you.

Anderson Cooper
The Russian government has engaged in espionage against Americans. There are some text experts in Silicon Valley who say that, you know, maybe what they'll do this next time is to really disrupt the actual election.
- [08:15]
Tony Kennett
Are you surprised?
- [08:16]
Anderson Cooper
Donald Trump's admiration for Vladimir Putin? I'm surprised and I'm deeply disappointed. The latest accusations about them conspiring with Russia or it. What a classic Authoritarian does they have hacked American websites, American accounts? Vladimir Putin himself directed the COVID cyber attacks against our electoral system, against our democracy. The Russians do. I think they're trying to help Trump. I think it's quite intriguing that this activity has happened around the time Trump became the nominee.

Tony Kennett
Now we're gonna move away from this because it's time to talk about the smoking gun. Because the National Review crew and I've. I've written for National Review. I've read a lot of their articles over the years. They have come out in the last couple of weeks suggesting that through all of the documents released by Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, all of the releases from Senator Chuck Grassley, all of the documents talked about by Cash Patel and the Trump administration at large, nothing new has been released, which is just a blatant lie even before then. But here we actually do have what is considered the smoking gun that should, in fact, result in the indictment of Hillary Clinton or sedition, the indictment of Hillary Clinton for violating the espionage act of 1917 in multiple places, as well as about every single obstruction of justice clause that we have in federal law, according to an email from Leonard Bernardo. Now you're like, who is Leonard Bernardo? Well, he was a director of Open Source, a major George Soros nonprofit ngo nonprofit that aided in a bunch of Hillary Clinton stuff. Because, you know, of course, July 27, 2016, hello, comma Hillary Rodham Clinton, abbreviated HRC, approved Julia's idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections. That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level. Olympic, That's a. That's a. Again, a dual reference there. The point is making the Russia play a US Domestic issue, say something like a critical infrastructure threat for the election to feel menace, since both POTUS and V POTUS have acknowledged the fact that that intelligence would speed up searching for evidence that is regrettably still unavailable. You say, tony, why does this matter? A George Soros email that is in the possession of the federal government and the intelligence communities that was excluded from the Durham report, this is a mate. This. I'm sorry, this is a major smoking gun. Because if this guy is sending these particular emails around saying, look, I know we don't have any evidence, I know we don't actually have anything to go after Trump for. Let's make up something. And this is in July of 2016. Trump hasn't been elected yet, so we still have to go through all of the Steele dossier situation. We have to go through all of the election nonsense and then we have to get to James Comey, who, knowing that there was a false intelligence report, CIA director at the time, John Brennan, writing a false intelligence report, though the intelligence community, upon promptings like these from Hillary Clinton, found no evidence that Russia preferred Trump in the election, no evidence whatsoever that Putin was angling for Trump. Instead, they found evidence that Russia was withholding information that was damning about Hillary Clinton, that she was on daily tranquilizers and was extremely depressive and hyper emotional. That man. All of that appeared to be a sham. Comey knew it. He went along with Brennan to manufacture a major scandal at the beginning of the Trump administration, all to hamper the results of the 2016 election to undermine the American constitutional process of the peaceful exchange of power. It is a direct and overt violation of federal law in multiple places. There's no way you can slice or dice it. For all of those who have said, well, where is smoking gun? Did anyone in the administration did? So this isn't just a piece of paper that was uploaded to some random blog. It says, see here, Epstein has this many letters and Donald has this many letters. Are you kidding? The picture. This isn't that kind of nonsense. This is a document from federal files from an NGO linked to George Soros talking about a political campaign maneuver of manufacturing intelligence based on direct statements from Hillary Clinton showing that it was Hillary herself who advocated for all of this. Again, false intelligence report. Now, again, a lot of people are saying, well, wake me up when there's convictions. Nothing is ever going to happen. You know, though I've, I've heard this all before, I wholeheartedly agree with the skepticism. I do. Because we haven't seen a lot of things in the past. And there are two reasons for this. If you'll give me just a second here, allow me to explain very, very briefly why it is very unlikely, very, very unlikely that we had maybe seen something before, but now it's, it's far more likely that we're going to see something here. First of all, I bring you Sean Diddy Combs. The federal government has a bad habit when it comes to indicting people. Because I don't know if you guys know this, but federal court grand juries kind of suck. They do. They're not exactly the kind of heavy conviction style juries. They're just not. And one of the key issues that we've seen from a majority of cases, including Sean Diddy Combs, is federal prosecutors who will essentially make the largest and most grandiose charge possible, like racketeering, like rico, in order to get a guy, remember they got Al Capone on tax evasion. Why? Because that is something that the jury could see. They could not look the other way. They had to agree the man had paid no income taxes, yet was reporting some forms of income. Something was a little off. You can't just go after him, say, oh, they're charged with treason. It's okay. What's your evidence? Well, they said this thing in the debate, and you would be surprised. I know you're. It's shocking that lawyers can get out of things. I know. Amazing. When you know, dictionary next to the word weasel. Right. But in this particular instance, it is rather important. If you are going to go for broke and you are going to bring up someone on indictment charges, they had damned better well be guilty of. Of exactly what you're charging them, you should better be able to point out without a shadow of a doubt, without an inch of wiggle room, they did the thing and they should be charged as acutely as possible. Well, they should be thrown away for 80 years. Okay, yeah, I agree. They should be thrown away for 80 years. But it ain't gonna happen. That ain't gonna happen. Well, I want it to. Okay, yeah, well, I would also like a pony. But while we're wishing for things, some things are just gonna be left up to Robin Williams as Aladdin's genie. So I, I'm just. I. I sympathize. I do. I want them tried for sedition. I do. Do I think a sedition charge is going to come down? Well, according to a statement from Cash Patel, he does claim that there are going to be a series of. Of at the end of the investigation. So this, again, is a law enforcement officer. You don't just get to go out and play full room prosecutor here. You don't get to go out and say, we're going to get them, because that's how Letitia James governs the Attorney General's office in New York. That's not necessarily something that you want the head of the FBI doing. Again, the reason the Hoover Building has such a bad name is because there were individuals in charge of the FBI who did that kind of crap. So Cash Patel did say that after he read through the Durham Annex reports, some of these documents of which were filed away in burn bags. He claims. Again, I need to see all the full evidence here. But that is what Cash Patel and the FBI is asserting that these documents are squirreled away in back rooms. He said, quote, this revealed a highly classified piece of the Durham Report, evidence that the Clinton campaign plotted to frame President Trump and fabricate the Russia collusion hoax. This should be a step towards justice. There will be more to come. Now you say, Tony, that doesn't exactly sound like some kind of a big, huge sledgehammer promise for maximum justice. You're correct. I'm not out here celebrating. Oh, yay, we got him. You know, drop the confetti, get out the party. You know, somebody get the ghost of Bob Barker to, like, bring us all down. Dancing down the aisle. No, we're not there. We're not. But as far as the smoking gun to litigate on this particular issue, we now have the actual smoking gun. Even if anything else before was more questionable, this is a considerable piece of interest to the American people. Now, moving on from that, let's talk about the other really, really, really big, big lawsuit stuff today. That, again, no one is talking about. I know we're going to talk about Kamala Harris in her book. We're going to talk about Arby's and their apparent fascist ad. Something that no one has been discussing today. And it infuriates me because you were told, you were told there was no Medicare fraud. You were told there was no Medicaid fraud, that we needed to shove all of the money in to Medicare and Medicaid. We need to triple the budget for Medicare and Medicaid, and we also needed to get more people on it and have less guardrails against fraud and abuse because, no, you know, it's just a Republican conspiracy theory that anyone would possibly defraud the government. Oh, my good. These NGOs and reporting organizations, they're so wonderful. They, USAID, would never send a bunch of, you know, condoms to Africa and trans comics to Colombia and Sesame street to Iraq. Come on, don't you trust people and how they request money from the federal government? I know that I, when I was still, unfortunately, an academic at Ball State University and I was getting my second master's degree that I was wasting money on, and we were practicing grant writing. And at the time, I actually started writing a real grant for the school I was working at, and, and my colleague was writing for a grant, requesting money to fund condom research. Prophylactic research for cows. Yeah. And I, I, I'm not just talking about, like, actual general purpose. The man just wanted to study the effects of Durex condoms on cow waters, and he got funded for that. So, yeah, I'm, I'm sorry, Fraud and like, Abuse of the federal grant system and Medicare and Medicaid. That's been going on for a long time. Well, here's some good news for you. According to the Department of Justice, this is just yesterday the DOJ has announced charges against 324 parties for health care fraud schemes. They in these parties and this is only the first of two major charges here. $14.6 billion in false claims to Medicaid, to Medicare and to other government associated health care programs. Truly one of the craziest things. I think we have the clip here. Yes we do. Take a look. We are announcing Today charges against 324 defendants for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately 14.6 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid and other health care programs. In a takedown this large, I can't possibly describe all of the work that went into dismantling each scheme. Now I do want to take a quick second here and thank Fernando Veloso for being a real pal and tipping us a $50 super chat over on the live stream. We are working on a way to display that on the screen so that it's saved for posterity. Thank you very much for that. Appreciate it. And I agree with you by the way. A great way to mobilize a group of national individuals who are not in your country to come and survive for a long period of time off the taxpayer is make it easier for them to participate in the fraud or Medicare, Medicaid and other government services. Again I was promised. You were promised Hakeem Jeffries. He pinky promised. He pinky promised that the there was not a dime of federal funding going to illegal immigrants on con in Congress in front of the entire American people. We have played the clip before on the show and now here we are once again torn into pieces. Sorry. There. There are a series of major fraud. A series of major frauds and abuses that are now being rectified through the Department of justice. Today the CEO and medical director charged in $500 million in Medicare and Medicaid fraud schemes. Kamen Bereshik and Dr. Martin Perlin operated a website offering free Covid tests when individuals entered their insurance. The CEO and Dr. Perlin would allegedly then fraudulently bill Medicare. They allegedly billed more than $500 million in claims and bit of chick was paid more than $50 million for his role. So I'll me to explain, you know, in this particular instance what this was like. So imagine that you are stupid and you believe in astrology. So let's say you're going to open up your newspaper and read what some weird, sad single person looked up this week as the cat lady. And they're like, all right, let's see, Aquarius. This week you're going to get Covid, that kind of stuff, right? And so these fools operated a website in which you took some kind of apparent COVID test, which I'm not seeing any evidence that they actually sent out testing materials, which, by the way, an incredible Ponzi scheme to just essentially like, click here to find out if you have Covid. And then your screen flashes white and black for a few seconds and then it's like, you have Covid. Thank you for using our services. Again, I was assured that no one was going to use Covid as a way to defraud the American people. No one was going to use illegal immigration to defraud the American people. You were told consistently, consistently that any of this was just not. And by the way, whenever you have an FBI director like James Comey who would go before the American people and, and would tell you that, well, I mean, I hear your concerns, but they're just not important. It is the exact same kind of attitude that people like James Comey used to, the exact same kind of logic that was used to say, well, I mean, also, we didn't really tell Trump about the, you know, the Durham report. We didn't tell Trump about the Steele dossier, anything like this either. You know, we didn't tell Trump about, you know, certain other facts and figures later on. Other members of the Trump administration would refuse, just refusing to. To tell him things. This brings us to why I am currently in Washington, D.C. i'm going to tell you a little bit of a story that we can't quite break everything out yet, but it has to do with the Secretary of Commerce. The Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, is a guy currently wrestling a ton of different trade deals and negotiations. Man's pretty busy. One of the agencies that reports to the Department of Commerce is the noaa, which is the national oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Now, by the way, the reason that the national oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports to the Department of Commerce is no one is more concerned about the weather than those who are shipping large amounts of freight and trade. Back in the day, oceanic trade, kind of important. That's why NOAA originally started reporting to the Department of Commerce. Now, you know, there are individuals, we have learned inside the national oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who have made the decision to refuse to hand over pieces of data regarding changes in how US bodies and international bodies of water operate what the new data and readings on them are because they don't fit political narratives on what they really want the data to say. Now, I'm not going to go into too much here, and I'm sorry to be a bit of a tease. This isn't in the show description, but since we were talking about telling you things don't matter and lying from inside the bureaucracy, this fits. I am in D.C. in part because we are currently in the process of making sure you are very well aware up soon that you are very well aware that while the members of the Trump cabinet are currently running around the world tackling a ton of different issues, Howard Lutnick, who again, I've criticized some of his communication strategies, you know, from, from time to time, Howard Lucknick is also doing his best to make sure that the organizations that report to the Department of Commerce are actually fulfilling their mission. And by the way, if you are a member of an administration and you're working as whether you're a political appointee or whether you're a civil service employee, whether you're working just as a staffer, you're, you're not allowed to withhold data from senior officials because it doesn't go with whatever theme that you wanted on things like climate change, for example, in the Gulf of America. So we're going to be talking about that in the next couple of days. I want to make sure we get this investigation tied up nice and clean. By the way, this is also the first that producer Daniel and Nick are hearing about this. So surprise. There's a lot going on, unfortunately, on this particular trip, and we will be very much in touch. As a former science teacher, people lying about scientific data or refusing to provide education data because they really don't like the picture that that data paints. Well, I have a problem with those kinds of people. We do here at the Daily Signal. And that's why a lot of our reporting is aimed at showing those of you who don't have the time to steep in the bathwater of politics all the darn day that you get to see the inside just as much as some investigative super whatever at the LA Times, the Washington Post, and then those groups usually omit that data to Americans. Now, let's move on to a couple of big stories that have been talked about a little bit in the last couple of days, but I don't think anyone's really done the full, you know, the full take on this. Kamala Harris has announced that she's not running for governor of California. This is a surprise to a bunch of people. I'm going to be honest with you. I have no idea why this is a surprise to people. Those of you who believe that Kamala Harris was going to go run for the governor of California. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. Kamala Harris sucks at campaigning. And the idea that if you just take a woman and say, oh, she's multicultural and she's wonderful, or you take a guy and say he's articulate and he's totally young and he's not old, and you put them in front of the camera, it turns out that people in America are not that stupid. They see through it. The idea that Kamala Harris would just be able to waltz through another gubernatorial election, I guarantee you there are staffers that have sweat the bed a couple of times, realizing that that would be a horrible decision. So what is Kamala Harris ready to come out and do? I'm sorry. My producing staff is roasting me for not sharing with them everything I'm going to talk about on air. I got to keep you guys on your toes. So what did the Kamala Harris team actually decide to do? Well, they're doing what all great democrat failed politicians are doing. They're gonna write a book. Kamala Harris. That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, the lady who significant has found the significance of writing.
- [28:05]
Kamala Harris
Just over a year ago, I launched my campaign for president of the United States. 107 days traveling the country, fighting for our future. The shortest presidential campaign in modern history. It was intense, high stakes, and deeply personal.
- [28:23]
Tony Kennett
By the way, not the shortest presidential campaign in modern history at all. It's just not. I don't know. I don't know how to tell you guys this, but there are a lot of people who announce they're going to run for president, and they get all the little signatures together and they go out a campaigning and it lasts for like a month. That's just not true. I mean, I know fact checking Kamala Harris is like taking candy from an infant or senator Alex Padilla. So sorry. I'll let Kamala continue, please.
- [28:51]
Kamala Harris
For me and for so many of you, since leaving office, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on those days. Talking with my team, my family, my friends, and pulling the niece.
- [29:04]
Tony Kennett
I cooked bacon for Joe's corpse. And also the ghost of Grimace from McDonald's.
- [29:13]
Kamala Harris
So inspiring my thoughts together, in essence, writing a journal that is this book, 107 days. With candor and reflection, I've written a Behind the scenes account of that journey.
- [29:27]
Tony Kennett
I'm going to bet you 15 bucks that it's stuff A, that we already know and B, it's her going, when Donald Trump said this, I was hurt and shocked. And essentially it's gonna be like when Pac man hits one of the ghosts and it goes like, that's just gonna be the entire book. It's just her reacting as though Pac man just touched Blinky.
- [29:56]
Kamala Harris
I believe there's value in sharing what I saw, what I learned, and what I know it will take to move.
- [30:03]
Tony Kennett
Forward to write another book.
- [30:04]
Kamala Harris
In writing this book, one truth kept coming back to me.
- [30:08]
Tony Kennett
Someone else was writing it for me. Oh, sorry. Sorry, Kamala.
- [30:12]
Kamala Harris
Sometimes the fight takes a while.
- [30:15]
Tony Kennett
Sometimes the fight is typed into a chatgpt prompt and then chucked out and called 107 days.
- [30:22]
Kamala Harris
But I remain full of hope and I remain clear eyed.
- [30:27]
Tony Kennett
I also remained bushy tailed and wet behind the ears and long in the tooth and other popular phrases in colonial American linguistics.
- [30:39]
Kamala Harris
We'll never stop fighting to never surrender.
- [30:42]
Tony Kennett
We'll fight you on the beaches. Never surrender.
- [30:43]
Kamala Harris
Make our country reflect the very best of its ideals always on behalf of, of the people. So thank you for being in this fight with me. I am forever grateful and I cannot wait for you to read this and I'll see you out there. Take care.
- [31:01]
Tony Kennett
See you out where? Like out beside the Wawa. Like, I'm going to like go. I'm going to fill up with unleaded. I'm going to go in to buy myself a Hershey's symphony bar, which is superior to a regular Hershey's bar in every way. She's going to be out there going, hello, have you read 107 days? They're lining the bathrooms with just. Well, you did say you were gonna see me out there. So I mean, you know, what a better time. Some of my colleagues are actually thinking about reading this. Our managing editor, Keith is actually thinking about reading this. And so apparently this, this horrible act of self harm might result in a new opening for a managing editor at the Daily Signal pretty soon. And I look forward to Keith's funeral. Poor man. Going through the Kamala book. That's just going to be brutal. So again, Kamala Harris hasn't changed. Hillary Clinton did the same thing after she lost to Trump. She wrote what happened, which is incredible. There was another, I think it was a, Was it a Kennedy book that talked about the number of days? No, there was, there was some other, some other famous. Oh, a thousand days. John F. Kennedy in The White House, that's not the one producer team. There's like a, some kind of book out there. There's also like a failed political career book that talks about a number of days like that because you can't think of a title. There's nothing unique about Kamala Harris campaign unless it was called under the desk of Willie Brown. The behind the scenes and behind the knees approach to governing in California. That would be interesting. You know, the only fans candidacy. I'm, you know, I'm just saying, you know, do what you know, so. Or who you know. I, I suppose. Um, anyway, moving on. So Kamala Harris struggles, of course. Nancy Pelosi, she's still struggling. Flipping out at Jake Tapper. We played that yesterday. Elizabeth Warren fell down on the Senate floor today. The ladies of the Democrat Party, they're struggling now. What about the ladies in the rest of the country? How are they doing? Well, they're still starring in advertisements and the left is really, really mad about it. We are somehow in day six of the Sydney Sweeney controversy. But I'm afraid the tide has turned. And I don't mean like Bernie Sanders saying the tide has turned against the people of Israel, that we're gonna get them this time and ah, no, no, I don't mean that kind of a tide. The tide that I'm talking about turning in this case is that Americans really don't care anymore about advertisements that feature Hot People vs. Advertisements that feature ugly people. And by the way, you can air any, you can air anybody in an advertisement you want. As soon as a company decides they want a mediocre looking white dude who has a vague reminiscence of Vice President J.D. vance to advertise their product. They'll call up Tony Kennett, which by the way, I'd like to thank tonight's show sponsor, of course, the excellent alternative to a search engine garbage fest like Google and DuckDuckGo who give you what they want you to find. Again, I had to like scrounge the Internet to find these James Comey clips. My producers went on free spoke freespoke.com f r e e s p o k e.com and they found the stuff that they needed to find without a bunch of nonsense and pages and AI bull crap and asking to sign into LinkedIn and other horrible nonsense. Freespoke.com youm go down to the link in the description for today and today only. The campaign is over tomorrow. I was late in getting to this ad campaign. It's my own fault. But you have to click on the link today, tomorrow, August 1st, you won't get the discount anymore. I mean, free Spoke premium will still be there, but you get a discount if you go down to the description. Click on that today. Now, aside from that brilliant segue into advertising, Carolyn Levitt advertised a brand new ballroom at the White House today. But I'm getting ahead of myself because Arby's has also jumped in on the hot people advertising trend. And you know Arby's, we have the meats and all the great Internet memory. Arby's doing, doing a lot of social media. Right. They have also jumped on the having a hot person. Although we're not talking about genetics this time. Or are we? Now this features Sophie Cunningham from the WNBA who is a nice looking young lady who also happens to play for the Indiana Fever. You're like, wow, Tony, did you know that? No, I had to. I had to Google that just now. But aside from that, it's a nice looking person. And she's wearing a shirt for Arby's and the shirt says hot girls eat at Arby's. Now I don't know if you know this, but attractive people usually get those jeans from their parents. Now by the way, not Dua Lupa, who's, who's the other doja cat or whatever did also go after the people that are attractive in ads talking about their jeans. And she got really harshly ridiculed for this. We'll have to talk about that a little bit later. But aside from this, I'm also getting roasted from my producers. Why didn't you search Free Spoke for Sophie Cunningham instead of Google? I have a really good answer for that. And that is when I typed the WNBA player's name in Free spoke, it laughed at me and said, come on, Tony, nobody cares about the wnba. So I did try to type in Angel Reese's name, but I missed the search bar. That brings us to Carolyn Levitt, press secretary. The White House is building something that's really cool. And this is one of the last things I want to talk to you guys about. I'm actually really excited about this. I like two things when it comes to the federal government. Number one, I adore Teddy Rooseveltian foreign policy. Rough Riders up San Juan Hill. We're going to take that land we're going to run it better we didn't colonize. You lost it in war America dominance, triple the defense budget. F35s, F22s, let's go. That's the first thing I love about this country. Basically any song by Journey or Boston or Lynyrd Skynyrd with gorgeous women, bald eagles, pictures of American scenery, NASCAR NFL footage, and then American military dominating on the global landscape. That's, that's my first thing that I love about the federal government. I like my tax dollars going to that area. The second area that I really like my federal tax dollars going to is architecture that doesn't look awful. So the Obama Presidential library, which I don't have a picture of here, you can find a picture of it on Free Spoke. The presidential library for Obama looks like the. I know our audience is a little bit older than I am. For the younger audience, it looks like Dr. Doofenshmirt's tower from Phineas and Ferb. You know, Doofen Schmirtz Evil incorporated that thing. For the, perhaps the slightly more mature audience, imagine a robotic thumb that has been sheared off in a horrible machining accident. That's what the Obama library looks like. Horrible architecture. I hate it. I don't like it, by the way. It's not necessarily a party thing. I'm going to level with you. I don't know how much trouble I'm going to get in with the administration here in D.C. for saying this, but I'm just going to be honest. When President Trump came before the American people and said he was going to install two car dealership sized American flag poles on each end in front of the White House, I really wasn't a fan. Not because I don't like the American flag. My favorite American flag of this country rests atop the U.S. capitol building when it's not majestically floating in the breeze. But I didn't really like the idea of just like a gaudy big flagpole there. I'm, I'm in favor of new fancy monuments because it's the United States. We don't just do a flagpole, we do a monument. We build an amazing classical Roman architecture built with Indiana limestone. That's amazing. It's beautiful and it screams class. The country that built the Art Deco era, that's American architecture that needs to be brought back because this corporate millennial gray nightmare. It's awful. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the way that we're building modern buildings that, again, these skyscrapers just look like choking hazards for like broken Lego shards. I'm tired of. I want to see classical. Behold the American U.S. capitol. This kind of architecture. So Carolyn Levitt announced that the White House is building a grand ballroom. Yes. Yes. I got a chance to totally not sneak into the Starlight Ball after the Trump inauguration, and that was held at Union Station because there is no grand, amazing ballroom. It's the, it's the head of the American empire. There should be a beautiful ballroom at the White House. Why not? Carolyn Levitt answers that today. Amazing moment for this country. I don't even care. Here you go. Roll it.

Carolyn Levitt
We are proud to announce that the construction of the new White House ballroom will begin. For 150 years, presidents, administrations and White House staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed. President Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future administrations and the American people. The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world. Yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders in other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main buildings. And.

Correct, correct. After you start hosting events. By the way, there are the two most expensive lawns in the world, or I should, I should at least say in this country. I don't know. The last time I was told this statistic, I was in ill fitting clothes and being yelled at by a. Well, I'm being yelled at by a sergeant at West Point. So at the time I was told that the two most expensive lawns on planet Earth are the lawn of the White House and the great lawn at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. That is what Sergeant Keely told me at the time. It has been over. Oh my gosh, it's been close to 15 years. It's been a while since that was a moment for me. Now, in, in, in the, in the interim here, the White House lawn does not like getting stepped on all the time. That's expensive to maintain. Also, look, as a Baptist, I love a big tent church meeting as much as the next guy. Right now, on the roof of the Heritage foundation building, there's a really big tent for when they do large outdoor activities on the roof. It's nice. You can have really nice tents. They're fantastic. But America doesn't just want tents. America needs balls in fancy ballrooms. That's right. We're going to return. I mean, I want the one from the Sound of Music, I want the ones from great classical architecture. Make this the most gorgeous one. Instead of sending billions of my dollars to building a floating concrete nightmare that's going to sink off the coast of Gaza or sending billions of my dollars into the pockets of George and Alex Soros through NGO grants, sending my tax dollars to knock off the taxes of those in blue states via salt deductions. Instead, send my money to building great American projects, Finish Mount Rushmore, expand the Grand Canyon, conquer Greenland, conquer, reconquer the Philippines while we're at it, rename it MacArthur and also, most importantly, get this ballroom done.

The White House State Ballroom will be a much needed and exquisite addition of approximately 90,000 total square feet of innately designed and carefully crafted space with a seated capacity of 650 people, which is a significant increase from the 200 person seated capacity in the East Room of the White House House. In recent weeks, President Trump has held several meetings with members of the White House staff, the National Park Service, the White House military office, and the United States Secret Service to discuss design features and planning.

Yes, yes. And any, any person who comes in. By the way, this is one of the things I actually have the most, the most appreciation for regarding Trump and, and Federal Building. Trump is a real estate mogul who knows a lot. Again, I one of the most fascinating things to me, I'll never forget this. We were working on the studio and producer Nick and I are, I think we were doing some drywall patching at that moment or working on the ceiling. I maybe were doing some painting. It was the Joe Rogan episode where he interviewed President Trump right before the election. And Trump starts talking about real estate and not even, you know, not just the normal contracting side of, you know, building and construction, which I'm familiar with on a residential level, but like the major corporate understandings and all the complex building code laws. And to hear Trump just talk about something so comfortably and eloquently is a little jarring because you're used to him. Again, the President has a lot of stuff to juggle. It's one of the reasons that even during the Biden years, I didn't every time Biden had a small vocal or verbal slip that didn't bother me. You are remembering every single thing about your country in the entire world at the same time. Now, Biden had a million other problems that made the dementia very overt. Trump seems to have a pretty decent handle on remembering things. But the way that Trump spoke about real estate and building development impressed me. One of the things that, that makes you nervous about is are we going to get like a big gaudy gold plated skyscraper called the Ballroom jutting out of the White House? Because there is a little bit of you that does in deep, deep down. No. Where they don't Talk about at parties that, you know, deep, deep down on the inside, you might worry that maybe that might be the decision this man. I mean, again, look at the garish, horrible federal and state architecture that came out of the 70s, 80s and 90s. It's possible. But Trump has a reverence for American architecture. He does this administration, the guys in it have a reverence for American architecture, classical American architecture. That's what I want to see. And I'm, I'm sure I can. All the libertarians will come out. How dare you spend money, More money we don't have. You're spending your money. I. Buddy, they're going to spend money anyway. Do you want to spend it on transgender garbage in South America? Do you want to spend it endlessly supplying this, that and the other to other countries who hate us? Or do you want to build a really freaking cool American building that you can take your family to if you had one? I would recommend to my dear friends on the libertarian leaning parts of the aisle that if they're going to spend money anyway, and before you say, well, I'd rather them not spend any money at all. Will bring you back to the beginning of the show. And while we're wishing for things, I would like a pony that ain't gonna happen. Now, I will offer some praise for the libertarians and that Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky has announced that he is going to put a bill together, a resolution to end the Federal Reserve. Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord. I'm all for it. Dismantle the Department of Education. Send it back to being the Office of Education. Dismantle half of the federal agencies we have, especially the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Get rid of the majority of the irs. I'm all for it. All for it. Especially the Fed. And while we're at it, go to a silver standard. I think that would be nice. Heck, go to a silver. And like an energy standard. I think that the energy credit system, like an energy based monetary system, I've been doing a lot of reading on this lately. Would be a very smart thing for the world to consider. I'm all for American architecture. I'm all for American exceptionalism. And right now what I see is some really great stuff happening. So I know, look, it may not be driving the clicks right now or for me to tell you that instead of all of the bad news is happening and we're all going to die. And oh man, if it bleeds, it leads. You've got to get all of this terrible news out in front. I'm kind of optimistic because what I'm seeing right now in D.C. is a bunch of heads of the feds, the federal agencies, who are not only wrestling with things that we've been fighting for for 10 years. I'm moderating a school choice debate tomorrow. The other reason I'm here, in which I am excited to remind the crowd that we have been fighting for measures of school choice for decades, and we're finally achieving it at the national scale. It's huge. No one's celebrating it. There's no gratefulness for where we are. Gratefulness is not politician worship. Gratefulness is not, you know, getting somebody's name tattooed on your arm or, you know, telling someone that they can't do anything wrong. Gratefulness is, is not necessarily just praising men whatsoever. No, gratefulness is recognizing that perhaps God has allowed you to experience a blessing that is a little less stress and a little less pain and showing some thankfulness for some good things happening. I'm seeing some good things happening. Is everything on my wish list getting checked off? No. Henry hasn't sent me a brand new repeating rifle. Heckler and Koch hasn't put a. An MP5 in my stocking for Christmas, though they should. Donald Trump hasn't named me the Governor General of the Greater Republic of Indiana. There's still time for that, by the way, when we conquer the rest of Illinois and then push Chicago into the middle of Lake Michigan and purge Gary, Indiana from all of the garbage that is ruined. I mean, yeah, there are things that are left on my wish list, of course, but it's, it's not too out there, I would say, to say that. Look, building a ballroom, investigating those who have committed likely sedition, obstruction, a number of other crimes, bringing those to the American people, all while Chuck Schumer, Senator Alex Tortilla from California, Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker, Buddy Sanders, and the rest of the Democrats lose their minds over it. Yeah, I'll take that in spades. So we went on a good 20 minutes longer than I expected to go tonight on the show, thanks to the production team. I know this is a little bit weird because I'm in D.C. little more difficult to do the show, but also for y'. All. We really couldn't leave these to be done back in Indiana. We're gonna be back tomorrow for one more show that's all scheduled and slotted out. If you go down to the Description on the YouTube page, you'll find a link for our discord where you can join us. Group chat, chat that that's available for everybody for free. More than happy to take ideas, mail time, questions. We'll do some mail time tomorrow and also I want to get to a few other things that we've really, really appreciated. Also, we did get another super chat tip from a guy named Black Tie Tai, spelled T H A I and very clever. Really appreciate that as well those who have joined the YouTube community, the membership on our YouTube page lately, we really appreciate that too. That allows you early access to things videos that we're uploading and scheduling like the top news intent. So with all of that said, hope you guys have a wonderful evening. It is about 95 degrees in here and so humid that I could wring out this jacket and get a pitcher of water, which is gross. So you guys have a wonderful evening. We'll catch you real soon. It's the Tony Kennett cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated and first on 93 WIBC. Take care. Perobi, Porlamoda, Konos, Precious, Bacos de la Vuelta Classes Amazon, Gastamenos, Sonrimas.
