Tony Kennett, host of THE Tony Kennett. Cast. Let's get down to business. You're listening to the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WIBC on CYTV here. Good evening. This was from earlier today, another peace deal brokered between the president of the United States and two formerly fighting factions, in case you are keeping track. Earlier this afternoon I had the pleasure of sitting down and recording kind of the trailer for the show. And I kept getting the two countries that had just brokered another peace deal at the White House with Trump sitting between the two of them. I kept mixing up the countries so I would, I did a take where I said Cambodia and Thailand. I think I got Rwanda thrown in there at one point. The countries that have either brokered a peace deal or a ceasefire under the leadership of President Trump so far include Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, Egypt and Ethiopia. And, and now after 35 years of fighting, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and by the way, these two world leaders are not just in the again at the White House looking glum again looking like, all right, go ahead and shake hands. And the very grumpy faces, they are thrilled because the United States has used yet again economic trade leverage to broker a major peace deal that is going to be not only huge for their countries, for their economies, for their peoples, and it's going to solidify measures to keep that peace stable. And what they end up suggesting and again from their own unprompted communication, and you can tell because nobody from the media was leaking this ahead of time, that they themselves, Armenia and Azerbaijan are going to join with India and Pakistan to almost try to force a Nobel Peace Prize for President Trump.
Unnamed Speaker
Check it out from the leaders of the countries which were at war for more than three decades. Having this historic signature here, it really means a lot. This is tangible result of President Trump's leadership and no one could have achieved that. There have been many presidents here since beginning of 90s. And the so called Minsk Process, which by the way, today we put an end to with my Armenian colleague, started in 1992. So negotiation under the auspices of OSCE continued for more than three decades without any result. So who, if not President Trump, deserves the Nobel Peace Prize? I don't want to go into the history of some very strange decisions of Nobel Peace Committee to award the prize for someone who didn't do anything at all. Obama, President Trump in six months did miracle. So I think that my Armenian colleague will support it. And judging by the reaction of the audience, I think as soon as we come back, we will agree to issue a joint letter and hopefully and I also join when president is awarded. We hope that he will.
Tony Kennett
Thank you.
Unnamed Speaker
Invite us to the ceremony.
Tony Kennett
You certainly will be. Thank you very much. Do we have draft to sign now? Well, wow. Wow. Really? What else is there to say? In. In 200 days, the president of the United States has brokered trade deals. And again, you can futz around on the trade deals. Oh, well, he also threw aside some trade stuff. Okay. Even if you put those aside, ceasefires and peace negotiations, using the economic leverage of the United States, not just saying, all right, we're gonna say that you're wonderful and we're gonna give you everything that you want, and we're gonna ignore all the atrocities your country's ever committed. And also we're gonna send a bunch of foreign aid your way instead. What does Trump do? You wanna trade with us or you wanna be broke? Your choice. And the world leaders agree to go along with those terms. That is actual economic development that does not require some country, some suckling at the teeth of the American taxpayer for the next century. It is unprecedented to the nth degree. We've never seen anything like this. We've never have. I don't care if you like Trump. I don't care if you hate Trump. I don't care if you voted for him or cackles. I don't care if you're one of those weird elbow lickers who voted for whoever the Libertarians shoved forward, who thinks that smoking pot is a personality. I don't know what you vote for. I don't care. When it comes to genuine negotiation, the art of the deal, as it were, these are long lasting, long lasting, far beyond this administration, impacts of the Trump administration. And if nothing else, that alone is Nobel Peace Prize worthy. Objectively, apolitically, that is astounding. And part of the reason that that is possible at all has to do with Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio, who, when he was nominated by President Trump to serve as the Secretary of State, I heard a lot of grumbling and boohoo because, oh, man, he's just this squish, this Rhino, he's not going to do anything like that. And I was thrilled to point out at the time, because you guys know how much I enjoy being right, that Marco Rubio had been one of the most passionate individuals when it came to scalping the deep state, scouring the mold and the filth that has served not the American people as civil servants, but themselves for the last century. And these individuals that Marco Rubio fired could no longer undermine the President's negotiations. You really need to understand how under the first Trump administration, and then before that the Obama administration, and then once again during the Biden administration, these things worked. Some, again, some theater major in the middle of the State Department that was working there for some reason, you know, recommended by some left wing ngo, would get information that the United States was trying to broker some kind of deal. And this was the proposed red line. This is the kind of the deal they wanted to see happen. This is why they were brokering the deal. This is what they were getting or seeking in concessions or giving in concessions. And then they would leak that to the New York Times or to Axios or to the Washington Post, and it would ruin the deal. This happened every single week. There was an individual in the State Department, in the Biden administration who was literally a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. She was feeding information constantly to Iran from the United States. And Marco Rubio came in and he scowled over the entire institution as only as only an angry Hispanic man can do, and gutted the entire workforce so that people require, I'm leaving the State Department. They're doing like slow claps for them as they're heading to the unemployment line. And for the first time literally in decades, we actually have a Secretary of State who is benefiting the American people on foreign policy decisions and is not afraid to call out individuals, whether they be allies or enemies or neither, for ruining things. For example, Secretary Rubio pointed out that the reason that Hamas has pulled out of every single talk that President Trump was moving forward in to end the war, get the hostages released, and is because of France. Here's the Secretary of State. Yes, Judge. Thank you, Mr. President. Let me get the right clip up here. The audacity of a Secretary of State to just look at the camera and.
Marco Rubio
Say, well, if you notice that the talks with Hamas fell apart on the day Macron made the unilateral decision that he's going to recognize a Palestinian state. And then you have other people come forward, other countries say, well, there's not a ceasefire by September. We're going to recognize a Palestinian state. Well, if I'm Hamas, I basically conclude, let's not do a ceasefire. Right, because we can be rewarded and we can claim it as a victory. So those messages, while largely symbolic in their minds, actually have made it harder to get peace and harder to achieve a deal with Hamas. They feel emboldened.
Tony Kennett
By the way, if President Trump wants to enact a foreign policy decision of bombing France, you're never going to see me cry over a Muslim country getting flattened for really stupid decisions. So, you know, just, just in case we're, we're asserting things. By the way, speaking of that, I don't have this in the show notes, but it is worth mentioning, according to the Daily Wire, President Trump has now greenlit US Military intervention in tackling the Mexican and Central American drug cartels directly. Good, correct? Absolutely. 100% a good thing. The President of the United States authorizing parts of the military. This is something that Desantis made an early part of his campaign. And it is incredibly, incredibly important that we recognize that the Estados Unidos de Mexico, the Mexican government, is fallen. It is not controlled by Claudia Sheinbaum. It is controlled by the members of the legislature, which are completely bought out by the Sinaloa cartel. The Sinaloa cartel governs the state of Mexico. It is a failed state. The Mexican drug cartels traffic children and women in brutal, brutal fashion, as if there were a soft, comfortable way to human traffic. They do kick it up a notch, though, compared to your average cartel. And if the president of the United States wants to authorize drone strikes in Mexico, good. That is a good thing. You don't have to swing down there and do any nation building. No, no, no. Save that for Nikki Haley and George Bush. Feel good Huggin session. This is not what the policy of the United States should be. Flipping off the rest of the world and saying. Americans should be first and our allies, we will make sure, are happy. In the meantime, unless they disappoint us, as the president has no trouble saying, that should in fact be the policy. And that's a very good move. We got to send the radio crew over to the commercial. We're going to talk about Pam Bondi over on the live stream. It's the Tony Kinnit cast here on the Daily Signal. Now, Attorney General Pam Bondi, as of today, approved a special prosecutor to investigate both California Senator Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James, former for over a dozen counts of mortgage fraud. So before we get into the details, mortgage fraud, what Am I talking about these two individuals who you may notice, Senator Schiff being from California and Letitia James being the Attorney General of New York, you would believe that they would own homes in California and New York, respectively. Kind of amazing. I, Tony Kennett, I do have the option to run for the seat, the seat in the House of representatives for Indiana's 6th congressional because I live here now. Am I going to run for that seat? Absolutely not. But it would be required for me to live here in this district, according to financial documents, though. I don't know if you guys know this about New York and California, but their taxes are kind of high, Their interest rates are really high. Things kind of suck in those places. That's why everybody's leaving. So according to documents, you saw Schiff and Letitia James trying to file mortgages based on addresses in places like Virginia where the interest rates and the taxes are much lower. Hmm. Rather interesting, wouldn't you say? And again, as the Department of Justice has gone through this meticulously, there's been a lot of complaints. Well, I'm not gonna say anything until there are arrests. I hear you. I do. I understand the frustration. But allow me to remind you of a classic truism. If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If you rush in like they did with Sean Diddy Combs and you charge him with RICO and a bunch of other slapped on Waffle House in the middle of rush hour style charges, just throwing them on as quick as you can, don't be surprised when poor planning results in poor results. It's just a fact of life that you do. Indeed. So what you reap or you reap what you sow. You know, in this particular instance, it is more important to the American people that individuals who have committed crimes, the federal government goes through the full process of investigation in the grand jury, as we are currently seeing regarding the Obamagate scandals, to go through it properly, even if it takes a little bit longer than just going out and perhaps saying, hey, we've got the Epstein files, here you go. And then it turns out to be a big nothing burger going through it slowly, getting it done correctly, that's gonna be a lot better. Now, this was first on Fox News, it was Ed Martin. Oh, boy. Who is gonna be this special prosecutor? Ed Martin has got an ax to grind here and I do believe he's going for blood. So of all the individuals they could have picked in this particular instance. Solid choice. Speaking of solid choices here, the appeals court has struck down a very strange contempt ruling by Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C. so Boasberg, remember the Obama appointee that said Trump can't use the Alien Enemies act to deport illegal immigrants who are members of places like MS.13 and Venezuelan gangs and the Sinaloa cartel and Hamas. You can't do that. You can't just say they're alien enemies because they're alien enemies. He, he fired. He filed a very weird contempt charge. Therefore, according to Margo Cleveland, again, one of the most phenomenal legal analysts and correspondents over at the Federalist, she pointed out on April 8 that his trying to file a contempt was only going to shred his credibility. And now we have a ruling from the appeals court. It was a narrow vote, a little more narrow than probably should be comfortable. Boasberg's order holding the Trump administration in criminal contempt with itself, I guess, for deporting illegals, using the illegal, the Illegal Alien Enemies Act. Yeah. That's thrown out the window because Boasberg does not, in fact, have the constitutional authority to just make stuff off when make stuff up whenever he wants. Again, what a surprise. What a concept. Incredible. We'll be back in just a second. We got to bring the radio crew in. It's the Tony Kennett cast. Don't go anywhere. It's the Tony Kenneth cast on 93 WYBC. Welcome back to the Tony Kennett cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated, first on 93 WIBC, believe it or not. I do not try to use kind of like specialized chirons, lower thirds at the bottom of the screen every single evening that are the same. Normally we rotate out based on kind of special instances, you know, the title of the segment, things like that. But Democrats drifting further into chaos. We really can't seem to pull it out of the lineup because it just keeps getting worse. It shouldn't be getting worse. It shouldn't. The Democrats really should be rallying at this point, you know, starting to generate a little bit of momentum, some combined anger. That really works. That isn't humiliating and they really just can't do it. So Governor Kathy Hochul of New York decided to get in front of the country and suggest yesterday evening that Democrats always follow the rules and Republicans don't. Of course, she's referencing the Texas redistricting effort again, which creates more minority majority districts than it left. Left should really be rather in favor of this. But of course, Kathy Hochul and the Democrats, they're very mad. And so she goes out trying to tell everyone that the Democrats aren't corrupt there. Why in fact, they're just wonderful, sweet children. This is how they're gonna play the game. We're gonna fight fire with fire. I didn't want to take on this fight.
Unnamed Speaker
I've always followed the rules.
Tony Kennett
Democrats always follow the rules when they're willing to do this to subvert our democracy. Shame on us if we don't stand. Oh, yeah, they always follow the rules. Man, it sure would be a shame. Oh, man. According to Greg Price, Kathy Hochul literally just led a mid decade redistricting effort last year that gerrymandered away three Republican districts to erase the gains that Republicans made in her state in the 2022 midterms. Huh. My. It's like opening your mouth is a really bad decision. And yet they continue to do so without any regard for the consequences. Senator Alex Tortilla. Excuse me? Senator Alex Padilla, the other senator from California. He's still hitting the illegal immigration thing. Ever since he tried to rush Kristi Noem and got a fantastic taste of industrial carpet in the press briefing room, he's been trying to claim that this is all just about trying to keep brown people from participating in slave labor, which, yeah, slave labor is bad. But here he goes defending it.
Unnamed Speaker
The vast majority of people being arrested, being detained, being deported are the same people that so many families trust to care for our children.
Tony Kennett
Trust to care for our children. Wait a minute, hold on a second here. Is he suggesting that, like, we all have like Latina maids? Like that we all are just all of us out here? Again, me in Midwest, just. I go out, we have a maid for our kids and a nursemaid and a housemaid and. Wait a minute. Is he talking about Consuela from Family Guy? No, no, no. No more Lemon Pledge. Like, what in the world, dude? Are you telling me you don't get your babysitting service from MS.13? Yeah, well, we all know Kilmar Brego Garcia was such a family man, you know, endangering the children in the backseat of the car flying down Maryland Roads at 1:30. So. And that's 130 miles per hour, not the time of day. He was usually asleep during that time of day. Let's hear what else. What other jobs? He thinks that Hispanic individuals and those being deported, according to him, what other jobs are they capable of?
Unnamed Speaker
Trust to care for aging parents.
Tony Kennett
Nursing home workers. Okay, again, all right.
Unnamed Speaker
You know, they're the people who are preparing and serving meals in restaurants that.
Tony Kennett
Are preparing and serving meals in restaurants. Okay. Little bit awkward way to say that. You could just said like, Chefs and cooks. But I guess that having the as. As he would call them, having the brown people be the cook, it's a little. A little too much like mammy stuff in there. Yeah, phrasing, exactly.
Unnamed Speaker
Picking the fruit and vegetables and packaging the meat.
Tony Kennett
Oh, they're picking the crops. Who's gonna pick the cotton producer, Nick, if we don't have the illegal immigrants do it so that their plantation. Excuse me. So that the heads of these farming cooperatives don't have to pay taxes. Hmm.
Unnamed Speaker
Factories that, you know, we depend on to put food at the table at home.
Tony Kennett
Oh, I love this idea that the only way that we get food to the table is through illegal immigrants. The only way, like all throughout the country, we would all cease to exist if there was not a as. As. From his own words, a black or brown person picking the crops at slave labor wages. You guys realize that according to the actual statistics from the agricultural department, the USDA during the Biden administration, less than 1% of American food is said to come from hand picked sources. The United States has a considerable food surplus. It's more than just relying on 1%. And even if that were true, I'm sorry, the idea that we need slave labor to survive, it was really bad in 1860 and it's really bad now. So Jamie Raskin, who is a lot shorter than I expected, again, no, no offense to our short kings out there. Jamie Raskin just looks really, really short in this interview. He's decided that it's time to go back to an old fan favorite. He's tired of yelling about Kilmo Abrego Garcia. Instead, Jamie Raskin out here. Now, he's ready to dig into something far more important. Trying to bring up the suckers and losers argument again. They're trying to completely rewrite the history.
Unnamed Speaker
Of January 6th, rewrite the history of.
Tony Kennett
The 2020 election, rewrite the history of the Civil War. You know, there are very fine people.
Unnamed Speaker
On both sides when there's an anti.
Tony Kennett
Semitic riot in Charlottesville that's been debunked. Of course, the fine people on both sides, even Snopes and Politifact, have had to go back and say we were wrong about that report. But you know, Raskin just uses it as a punchline. It is the progressives who are standing up for history, who are standing up for facts, who are standing up for the truth. Okay, good luck. So go now. Bring out the very fine people that Trump doesn't like. Veteran thinks they're suckers and losers kind of a thing. You Know, yesterday, Trump enacted Purple Heart Veterans Day, which is incredible. Again, how many times have we seen presidents in the last 30, 40 years talk about veterans with Purple Hearts. Oh, that's right. They're usually used as a campaign punchline when discussing the va. That's it. The argument. The idea that you're going to somehow bring around the idea for the 843rd time. Oh, Trump is secretly a white supremacist out here. He's. He's gonna get us. Here we go. Oh, my gosh. Does it get exhausting? Does it get exhausting? They're so disconnected from reality. They're trotting out Tim McBride, the dude in a skirt. Tim McBride, or who goes by Sarah these days. Their, their little token trans member that they've brought to the Congress who has decided to be the spokesperson for saying Republicans. The reason they're unpopular is because they're really weird and bizarre. I'll say that one more time. The man in a dress is trying to tell the rest of the country that it is Republicans who are weird and bizarre. Check it out.
Jamie Raskin
We will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection. I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues. I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me thinking about how to lower the costs for American families. I wish they would spend a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me figuring out how to make government actually work better rather than making.
Tony Kennett
It work worse in order to prove.
Jamie Raskin
That government can't work.
Tony Kennett
Okay, so first of all, we're going to get to the conspiracy theory there in a second. The Democrat Party is trying to tell each and every one of you that they have the policies to lower the cost of living. They have the policy again. They who vote against every tax cut in existence. They who increase regulation. Ezra Klein, who is on the left, argues constantly, the Democrats biggest flaw is pushing regulation that will not let people whose homes have burnt down in Maui and California rebuild. That same crew is telling you, oh, Republicans are trying to make government work worse so that government is unpopular. Now that's a theory. That's a theory. Now I, I will say this as playing a woman. The whining that someone is, is thinking too much about me is rather on point as an impression. So, I mean, you know, Tim McBride's woman impression here, I gotta say. Not bad. You know, it's just. They're just thinking about me all the time. And it's not what they did. It's how they said it. I'm sorry, radio crew, I'm gonna have to send you to commercial if producer Allison doesn't cut me off in advance. It's the Tony kind of cast. Oh, I'm gonna get anthrax in the mail. All right, we're gonna move along here. Tim has more brilliant feminine words of wisdom.
Jamie Raskin
They are obsessed with culture war issues.
Tony Kennett
The Republican obsessed with culture war issues says the man who threw a fit not being able to use the women's restroom in the U.S. capitol building. Party is obsessed with culture war issues.
Jamie Raskin
It is weird and it is bizarre.
Tony Kennett
Ah, yes. The man with a bulge in his skirt is telling me that the Republicans are weird and bizarre. Yes, that's effective. That's effective. Nancy Pelosi yesterday saying that what we need is a national transgender care movement. Zoran Mamdani's aide saying they're going to make New York City a. A transgender Supreme Court again. Remember, just after the election, just after the election, you have people like Gavin Newsom who are like, yeah, maybe we need to relax a little bit on this a little bit. Kind of, you know, maybe sort of. And here we are just going doubling, tripling, quadrupling, quintupleting down. Why? Because they're just not even connected to reality at this point. As I have said before, it rings true once more. There are two political parties in this country. There is the populist wing of the Republican Party, that is one half of the coalition, and they are arguing with the more corporatist kind of establishment Republicans, who are more hawkish on the fiscal side of things. And you have some libertarians on the right and some traditional conservatives in the middle betwixt those two political parties. The Democrats are not a serious political party. The governor of Massachusetts, of whom there are no Republican districts in the entire state, the governor of Massachusetts has threatened to redistrict the state if Texas doesn't stop it. I will say again, the all blue state is threatening to redistrict its House seats. Oh, man, I tell you what, you. You better stop throwing water on me, or else I'm gonna get out the water balloons. All right, that. Thank you. Just super. Good job. The FBI, also the media on the FBI side, the Democrats, they're losing it once more. Again, they're very, very sad because the Trump administration is swinging through to fire a number of individuals in the FBI who were directly involved with the Obamagate, Russiagate situation. Essentially, they are arresting people inside the FBI who coordinated with the Hillary Clinton campaign to push false information and participate in the direct obstruction of justice. And Ken Delaney, who was so untrustworthy that they called him Fusion Ken because he suckled so greedily at anything from Fusion GPS. He says that the FBI's morale is, like, really low right now, guys. It's like in the basement. NBC, Here you go.
Unnamed Speaker
This dismissal was actually part of a wave of firings of senior officials, including Steve Jensen, the head of the Washington field office, who was heavily involved in investigating the January 6 cases, and a man named Walter Giardina, who was involved in the investigation of Peter Navarro, that Trump adviser who went to prison for defying Congress. Giardina had just lost his wife to cancer a couple of weeks ago, and he was summarily fired. And this is part of an ongoing purge that the Trump administration is conducting of FBI leadership. I posted a story earlier this week that noted that a large chunk of the special agents in charge across the country at field offices have been forced out of their jobs and that those firings were disproportionately affecting, impacting women and minorities in those jobs. In this case, it's still senior workers.
Tony Kennett
It's racist and sexy.
Unnamed Speaker
Some pretty famous folks inside the bureau. Brian Driscoll became something of a folk hero, as you mentioned, when he was named the acting director. Accidentally, by the way, his name was put in the wrong place in a chart. And then he stood up to a plan by the Trump administration that seemed like it was poised to fight.
Tony Kennett
I love it. The whining, the muling, the complaining. It never ends. We got to bring the radio crew back. Don't go anywhere. It's the Tony Kenned cast. They say to only bring what you can carry. So with the all new 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor, bring a lot like three dirt bikes, a few tents, an entire crew ready to make memories, a panoramic 2024 inch display, and the confidence to push your limits. The all new 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor. Always consult the owner's manual before off road driving. Know your terrain and trail difficulty and use appropriate safety gear. Max payload varies based on accessories, vehicle configuration. See label and door jam for carrying capacity of a specific vehicle. Always properly secured cargo. It's the Tony Kenneth cast on 93 WYB. The culture in the media is just getting worse as well. Now I, I really do want to bring this up right before I head off to the Middle east for a week because American media is kind of a. A unique thing, especially in how they view relationships between men and women. This is the crew that has nowhere to go right now. The media, the legacy crew is in such complete, just destructive. Essentially, at this point, they're on suicide watch. Colbert canceled in nine months to go. Howard Stern canceled. Uh, there are rumors swirling around that have not yet been confirmed, by the way, that the View might also be getting axed sometime. Rosie o' Donnell is apparently saying the View is about to be canceled because ABC is gonna bend the knee to Trump or whatever. And the real reason that the media has gone down so, so sharply is because they are so bad at reading the American people, and they've got nothing to offer. Knew from the New York Times and the Washington Post. This is from a guy named Shadi Hamid. He's a columnist at the Washington Post, and he decided that this was the day that today, August 8, it is time to say something that all Americans have truly been feeling again. Remember, just put in the back of your mind how different groups in the country moved either to the right or to the left. Think about men. What direction did men move? Did Tim Walls, who, you know, wore the camo hat with the orange on it. Remember the guy who couldn't load a shotgun? Remember Command Sergeant Stolen Valor man, Tim Walls? Remember, he was supposed to reach a bunch of young men, and then that didn't happen. And then they brought out, I don't know her name, Juliana Slagathor, the wildebeest, whatever her name, her name, her name is they paid her, like, $20 million to go out and reach young men. You know, incredible moves here. Well, now, Shadi Hamid from the Washington Post, and citing some New York Times stuff, says, ahem, men are disappointing. I've heard it from so many of my female friends that I've lost count. The problem with men is getting worst. Or at least that's what a series of viral essays in the New York Times seems to suggest. He then proceeds to discuss that men are bad because they don't know what they want or they know what they want, but they seem helpless to act on that knowledge. They're nervous about relationships, and so the easier option is to dabble and deflect. So right up front here, I will remind you the reason that there are not men that are going out and essentially sticking the arm and going, hey, babe, you come here often. The reason that men are not approaching women and seeking relationships right now is because women have been calling rape and sexual assault for the last five to 10 years. Anytime a guy so much as speaks to them, Geico says, hey, how's it going? I have a boyfriend. I Remind you of the series of videos that have shown up on social media of women trying to work out at the gym. That's all they're trying to do. And a guy will come up and say, hey, by the way, you didn't put the pin in the weight there. And so when you pull up, that thing's going to snap back and you think, I have a boyfriend. Wow. Can a woman just not work out in the gym without all these men? All of the rage over toxic masculinity and man spreading all of the outrage from your local barista over the oppressive authoritarianism of men. And a lot of guys just don't want to put up with that. And so they're a lot. Again, the act of going out and dating, as was popular in the 90s and the early aughts, has gone down. A lot of guys are also being a lot more selective and they are staying together with women for longer. The divorce rate in this country among younger generations of men has plummeted. It's plummeting, gone down by like 15% between millennials and Generation Z now into their marriage, whereas Generation X is counting the number of marriages they're on. Millennials are not rushing from first to second marriage much at all. And then Generation X behind them. The divorce rate so far into early adulthood is really, really low. So what does he suggest here? Well, for a few years now, reaching a peak after Covid, women have been underscoring the perils and disappointments of finding a good man, leaving some to exit the dating game altogether. It leads to an imbalance in the dating discourse. So here's the best part. He says dating maps, dating apps, meanwhile, create the illusion of a limited choice. But it's just that, an illusion. Essentially what the point that Shadi is trying to make here is that there are not enough men on dating apps. And so women are allowed to be like, really? Or excuse me, there are a lot of guys on dating apps and women are really picky with the guys on the dating apps. Men are just, you know, swiping right all together. And so he says it creates a cultural imbalance of misogyny, the complaining about just absolutely nothing, just men for existing. Now, does he actually get to a point that's worthwhile near the end of this? No, no, not at all. He says instead, young men today seem less resilient, complaining on podcasts and Reddit about the so called 8020 rule, according to which 80% of women allegedly only go for the top 20% of guys. He starts lecturing that that women are more than happy to choose a guy based on a height preference. But if a guy lists, for example, a weight preference and they. They freak out and he says, well, this is a problem. How complain about the current situation. Nick, May I encounter with the number one app in lifestyle in the Apple Store is a dating app for women that is based around red flagging men. You're right. There was an entire app of ladies. I'm sorry, I got to ask Alison about this. Producer Allison, are you out there in YWIBC radio land? You are the voice of wisdom whenever it comes to this kind of nonsense. I don't know about that, but go on. Did you hear about this T app that was released? You know, I'm talking about the T app. There was this app where I guess that ladies would go on dates and then afterwards, if there were red flags, they would post the picture of the guy and like start saying how awful he was. And it was like this app exclude. Have you heard about this? I've heard about something similar.
Jamie Raskin
There's also a Facebook group where women.
Tony Kennett
Post if they're dating the same man.
Jamie Raskin
So along the similar lines.
Tony Kennett
But I have not participated. But I would take a peek. I mean, it. Oh, yeah. I mean, the tea from the leaks that we saw on social media were wild. And then, by the way, the individuals who were complaining on this social media app, they were leaked by people in groups like 4chan, for example, on that platform, started leaking out the pictures of these individuals to the rest of the world and saying, hey, these are the ladies that are talking about all these guys for red flags. Like his mom was a contact in his phone. That was a major red flag, apparently. Or how dare he get this. That he said she looked nice this evening at the beginning of the day. I know, terrible. I mean, usually, I mean, if a date doesn't start with spitting at each other and smacking each other with newspapers, then it's just a trip to the vet, you know, I mean, come on. So I really do enjoy the. The efforts that are being made here. Again, we talked about this before. Just being friends with individuals and then that leading to dating and having a really good time with relationships. It's really weird to see how much of an anathema that is to certain crews out there. It befuddles me. It does, consistently. All right, now onto the next story here, because it's only gonna get worse from here. Now, Sydney Sweeney, who was. Was in the news for, as I think we talked about, quite, quite a bit. You Know, with the American Eagle situation, all of those ads. Now the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post and different lib journos out there in the ether are trying to suggest that the Sydney Sweeney outrage never even happened at all. It was all created by Chaya Raichik and Charlie Kirk. So I'm amazed by that. Just didn't even happen again. Remember the memory holding that has occurred from the legacy media about things that, you know, originally when they memory hold things like for example, scandals during the Obama administration, right. During the first Trump term we, we heard this constant refrain that Obama never had any scandals except what? He had a tan suit, Right? Obama never had any scandals. You know, forget, you know, the Fast and Furious and the gun running to the cartels and drone striking weddings and you know, Eric Holder being his wingman and prosecuting Christian families and businesses with the irs. I mean, come on. But oh man, it was just a tan suit. That's the only problem, you know, so now the media so desperate to memory hole anything they can because all their fact checking services are bankrupt, they're just straight up trying to memory hole things a week after they happen. And at a time when Americans memory has gotten better because it's become easier to bookmark videos and clips which are shared. And there are. One of my proudest achievements, I will say that I played a part of when I got into this game after I was fired from Indianapolis public schools in 2021. And I argued very passionately that what we really needed at this point in time was a, a group of people on the right side of the aisle who maintained databases of when the left made claims, when they freaked out about things, when they fact checked something, when policies were put in place. So that when you were in the face of the person trying to memory whole things, couple of months, couple of years later, you could say, wait a minute, what about this? And they lose their minds over it. So great case and example. Here's Matthew Sheffield, he's the host of Theory for Change, which I've never heard of. He's been apparently seen in Vanity Fair, Washington Post, Daily Beast, whatever he is now trying to claim again, one week after the Sydney Sweeney shenanigans, right wing extremists, extremists like Libs of TikTok and Charlie Kirk totally concocted the Sydney Sweeney outrage. Just made it up. The outrage wasn't even a thing. The supposed left wing outrage at Sydney Sweeney never happened. Republicans, they just, they made it up. And Republicans have been inventing people to rage against for Decades. Producer Nick. They caught me. I was dressing up as all those women and complaining about Sydney Sweeney and how pretty she was, which, dude, you look horrible when cross dressing. So, I mean, that's a crime against humanity. Producer Allison, send the radio crew over to commercial. We'll be back in a second. We're gonna go through some of these examples on the live stream. It's the Tony Kinnit cast. Didn't even happen. Didn't even. By the way, the article that he is quoting, I believe this is from the New York Times. He said the article says, in reality, most progressives weren't worked up that much at all at the Sydney Sweeney thing. They weren't even worked up. Just totally not. I mean, again, the idea that Republicans are saying the left was accusing Sydney Sweeney of eugenics and white supremacy. Man, it sure would be weird if there was a video of someone saying they couldn't go in American Eagle because they were black, and then that video going viral on social media platforms. Hey, you want to go to American Eagle? Oh, I can't go in there because I'm black. Oh, okay. Okay, well, all right. Bad example. Maybe it was just, like, small people here and there. There weren't any, like, major celebrities or. Or, you know, people from Hollywood or whatever suggesting that this was, you know, some kind of a big cultural moment, like, let's say, Doja Cat. You know, the. Again, singer of the song say so. She. Certainly. She wouldn't freak out like that, would she? Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My genes are bleeding, huh? By the way, she was memed to hell and back for that. Rightly so. The memes were not very flattering. Uh, so, okay, maybe. So maybe some celebrities were freaking out about it. It's not like Lizzo, in her latest single Name, dropped Sydney Sweeney and griped about the advertisement in the. Ah, crap. Lizzo did that, too. Well, okay, certainly there's not, like, a bunch of videos of. Of people freaking out or anything. That got me, too. And I don't know why. Maybe.
Marco Rubio
Should we be surprised that a company.
Tony Kennett
Whose name is literally American Eagle is making fascist propaganda like this?
Jamie Raskin
Who was.
Tony Kennett
If anyone from American Eagle who was involved in the creation of Sydney Sweeney's most recent advertisement, booked into my Pilates class. I would give them the hardest exercise class that I was capable of doing on the latest. Okay, okay. Oh, no, no, not. Not abc. Good Morning America over a new ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney.
Unnamed Speaker
Yeah, the ads are for American Eagle. And the tagline is sydney Sweeney has great genes. Now, in one ad, the blonde hair, blue eyed actress talked.
Tony Kennett
Okay, okay, all right, all right. So maybe there's a little bit of outrage, but clearly the issue is that Ken, by the way, the tell on this story before we even began. Whenever you see libs of TikTok being blamed for something. Chai Reyshik, the reason is because her account is a database. A database of individuals, Libs, often from TikTok. Yeah, connections who post. Essentially, this is what the left is freaking out about right now. There are a lot of individuals who do. So they post these clips and I download these clips because as a former science teacher, I'm all about the receipts and citing your sources and then I play them for you. And those episodes, they stay online and they also those links stay in our show notes. So we have them. One of the reasons that producer Nick and I installed a network attached storage system in the studio was so we could keep all of these forever so that they can't be memory hold. Now what are, what are some of the other brilliant. Because this guy went on forever about this. He says the actual numbers show that almost no one was criticizing American Eagle. Nobody at all. It's just a tactic called nut picking, which is freaking weird. We gotta bring the radio crew in. We'll be back. It's the Tony Kenned cast. This episode is brought to you by Lifelock. When you visit the doctor, you probably hand over your insurance, your ID and contact details. It's just one of the many places that has your personal info.

So welcome back, radio crew. I have to tell you the phenomenon. Oh, the left calls reporting on the left, you know, saying really crazy stuff. Used to Politico just called it republicans pounce and they called it a day. But we need new terms like woman keeping and man splaining and all of this other nonsense they have. I will read the tweet verbatim. Sorry. He says the tactic often called nut picking, like nitpicking, uh, but nut picking, I guess, meaning like you're. You're picking out all of the nuts and saying these are representative of the group, which by the way, isn't that what The Sydney Sweeney thing was. It was saying, here is a lady talking about her genes. She mentioned genetics. It must be eugenics. The entire party that came up with like the dog whistle thing. Oh, he's dog whistling to white supremacists because he made a okay symbol with his hand. See, that's. But now they're going to accuse nut picking again. Horrible. Horrible phrasing. Please don't pick your nuts in public. Very gross. Not sanitary. Please don't. Oh, no. I don't know if I can read this. Super chat. Jeff D. Of course it's a Marine USMC Nut picking. Better than. I can't say that. Like Sarah McBride. Oh, no. Anywho. So he says, I finally got tired. Matthew Sheffield says, I love this film is so great. I finally got tired of nut picking once I realized that there are plenty of idiots across the political spectrum. But when I looked closer, I realized that Dems ignored their dummies. Republicans voted them into highest offices. Yes, of course. I knew it. Certainly the Democrats don't ever elect any nuts to off it. That. That would just be like the. The craziest thing. Would it be nutty? You know, one could imagine. I mean, can you imagine if they elected, like, someone like. I do have one yes or no question for Mr. Hamilton. I know you're involved in DEI cases, but has any court opined that that DI is unconstitutional? Yes or no? Yes. Which court? United States Supreme Court. I disagree with you because you're talking about the Harvard case. Okay, okay.
Unnamed Speaker
You can go read it and if.
Tony Kennett
All right, so, okay, that's just one really bad example. I mean, it's not like there are any other nuts that are even nuttier that they've, you know, sent to Congress.
Jamie Raskin
Since we're talking about integrity, I'm confused as to why my Republican colleagues aren't talking about the lack of integrity when it comes to the President's family's visas. Let me remind y' all that Melania, the First Lady, a model. And when I say model, I'm not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell. Level applied for.
Tony Kennett
Okay, but accusing the first lady of being a whore? I mean, come on. Come on now. I mean, that's just nutty. But it's not like they're elected to Congress. Oh, crap. Okay, so backing up just a little bit here, folks. It may be really embarrassing. It may be, in fact, humiliating. And it really is to watch the left try to go down this and suggest. By the way, he gets worse. He says Republicans pretend to care about free speech and letting people tell a joke. Because Republicans didn't freak out about the south park stuff they were supposed to. Apparently they were supposed to get really mad. And instead JD Vance and Charlie Kirk thought it was freaking hilarious. The only person who was mildly offended was Kristi Noem for all of about 3 seconds. Until ice started using the actual south park clips to advertise joining ice. Oh, man. Republicans just allowed themselves to be laughed at. Oh, no. So he essentially says then Trump literally uses government power to censor comedians. Ah, yes. Nothing says government ordered censorship like you're fired eight months from now. What? How would. No, again, a simple history book would show you that censorship usually does not involve letting you do more of the same. When Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption was playing Ave Maria for the entire prison courtyard, the warden was not like, andy, Andy, you stopped playing that in eight months now you hear, he didn't know. They broke the window, opened the door, beat the crap out of him and threw him into a cell. Because that's what censorship actually is. It's not. You're fired in eight months and then you're gonna go launch a podcast that's gonna suck like every other washed up leftist Democrat media Hoover that ends up launching a podcast. Incredible. And of course, there goes to. Colbert's show was number one in its entire category. Yeah, number one in losing money. Colbert's show is not. Colbert show was not number one in its category. It was not. Greg Gutfeld, the late night host for Fox News, beats the ever loving tar out of every other late night show combined on networks. Why? Because Greg Gutfeld is talented. You know, the first time that people actually watched Jimmy Fallon in the last year and a half was when Gutfeld was on his show last night. And you know what? He was funny. Crazy con. I know. Crazy, crazy concept. And now you've got, you know, John Oliver saying that he, you know, he's not going to take advice from Jay Leno, was like, hey man, maybe you should just, you know, be. Try being funny just a little bit. Just try being a little funny, John. Laura's like, no, actually I'm going to be even worse and I'm going to smell like piss. Great, great strategy. I love it. Why? Why are they just falling apart? I can't, can't fathom. Now the right is not without sin, but we have our own sins at the moment. Mainly they come with large influencer accounts. There are right wing influencer accounts to complain about. There are. Now this next piece is a little more Terminally online. If you get your news from social media, you might have noticed that occasionally an account posts something as though it's brand new. Incredible, insane information. So there were right wing accounts on X this afternoon and yesterday saying that Baskin Robbins had just released a huge new Sydney Sweeney ad. Oh, man, you guys need to come in and give me lots of clips on the video because, oh man, Sydney Sweeney's doing a Baskin Robbins ad now and again. It's really kind of a weird ad, but I mean, it's okay. It's an ad. It's Sydney Sweeney seductively, almost tasting an ice cream cone, biting the waffle cone, standing in confetti. And then there's just two employees watching her. It's an ad. They're like, aha. Liberals are triggered and brand new ad just dropped. Only it hasn't just dropped. It hasn't. It's lying for engagement. That ad is from June. In June. What? The 26? The 26. Thank you. Appreciate it. Guys, it's not new. I am all for getting out there and slam dunking the ball. Nobody enjoys it more than I do. College basketball runs in my blood. Watching a team with a really cocky attitude get dunked on, that is my favorite kind of sporting event next to the kind where green toys are thrown onto the court. But anywho, the latest one wasn't green. Was it not? Oh, we're diversifying in the color of diversifying now. Oh, we might get a little bit of that in bonus tonus. Just a smidgen there. I will say this as we let the radio crew head off to the fine weekend, guys, you don't just have to engagement farm. You don't. You don't have to. And some of these large scale accounts that are just posting content for engagement, they are also like the legacy media, a passing fad. Because people enjoy content, they enjoy substance. They like being given pieces of content that are new and interesting and trustworthy. Because the first time you're caught lying, you're done. We'll see you Monday. It's the Tony Kindetcast.

All right, time for a little bit of bonus Tonus. We're going to talk a smidgen about AI because ChatGPT came out with ChatGPT 5. Now, I'm seriously, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't they just come out with chat GPT4, like, less than a year ago? Like, chat GPT4 was not that long ago, they had at least an optimized version of ChatGPT that came out. And then there's. There's Grok4 over on X. Google and Meta have their AI whatevers. If you listen to the Ben Shapiro show, Perplexity is a very big AI program that also promotes a lot of shows. By the way, Perplexity, you want to promote Comet on this show, you give us a ring. I will not, you know, cut out my show writing for it. But hey, I tell you what, we'll air it, we'll talk about it. Give us an email. As far as AI programs go, though, there's a lot of bragging and shenanigans about the ChatGPT5 model and such. They released this new feature where the AI reviews your answer. Or, excuse me, it reviews your question before it answers it. Because AI up until this point has essentially just tried to guess what it is that you'd like to hear, like predictive text. It's a learning model. It's read a lot of human responses, a lot of human questions out there in the wide beyond, and now AI is trying to feed that back to you. Well, now there's like a secondary review process. And Nate Silver has noted that although there's a ton of money dumping into it in the economy, producer Daniel, thank you. 4 was released in on producer Nick says ChatGPT 4 was released March 14th of 2023, so a little bit longer than last year. The latest version of four was released April 9th of 24. April 9th of 24 and then May 13th of 24. So, okay, thank you for the updates on that. So as far as the whole ChatGPT AI boom is currently trying to really impress the United States and the world at large. Ton of money flowing into it as quickly as it can. I'm going to be honest with you, I just don't see AI becoming that much more impressive than it is right now. And the last time that we did a little AI segment on the show, I said AI is not about to get any brand new skills. And I was told that I was wrong and that I was dumb and that I was about to become this, like, Little person that was incredible and was like sentience in a can or in a power hungry, water hungry server room in Ohio. No, it is using more power and more resources. But essentially we are getting right about to the end of what AI can do as far as brand new behaviors. And this is what's really going to ruffle some feathers in the economy. This probably will not look good for the eventual eternity. AI is not in fact sentient. It will never be sentient. It can mimic sentience, it can mimic things that have already been created, but it cannot create brand new stuff that has never been imagined before. It cannot actually create, synthesize brand new content. It can create music based on patterns that it's seen before. It can create art based on patterns that it's seen before. It can give you answers based on things that it looks up and what it guesses that you want to hear. The closest that AI is ever really going to get to being our picture of artificial intelligence and is Jarvis from 2007's Iron Man. That's it. Where it can answer questions and maybe pretend to be personable based on a caricature. And with a wide enough memory bank, it can kind of fool you at times if you suspend disbelief. But it's not going to be intuitive. It's not going to surprise you with brand new creativity and analysis that can only come from a created being. Now, I have a real reason, the actual reason that we're never going to reach there. The practical reason though is it's not physically feasible. So one of the laws of physics is that everything tends towards entropy. You cannot throw together genetic code and accidentally get brand new, structured, impressive new genetic information that is added. It either replaces something that was already there or it suffers degradation, substitution. Things fall apart. There's again an entire system in the laws of physics and the laws of biology that creating something kind of ex and elo is not a thing. The real reason, by the way of all of this, is that mankind, man is created in the image of God. Mankind is nothing else is. There is no feasible way for humanity to artificially create life. We can kind of like put the building blocks to life next to each other and ram it together in a test tube. But that's still the procedures that were already there. You're just changing the room in the wallpaper. Instead of a womb, it's a room. So in this particular instance, what does that mean for AI in the future? It's just going to get better at doing what it's currently doing. AI is never going to get to a point where it can develop incredibly brilliant, amazing skills that are. No, that are not currently in the category. And this is what's really going to hurt American industry and technology eventually on down the line. It's not really going to be able to 100% replace the American worker so that we can get to Andrew Yang's weird universal income idea. I think Elon Musk believes that we might be able to get close to this. He's just, he's just wrong. Now, again, brilliant man, and I am all for incredible feats of engineering. I do not believe that this is humanity's future. It's just like Microsoft Office. It is. I've said it before. And this new version of Chat GPT5, it does stuff that it did previously a little bit better. But essentially the graph is starting to kind of flatline. We're starting to reach diminishing returns on what it can really pull forward for the user. And I mean, I mean, I would really love to hear if you guys think that there is something that AI is, is going to be able to do someday. But I will say this, and by the way, I do want to make this, this, this really clear. The idea that AI is someday going to gain sentience and evil and take over us all. No, no, it's just not. Because again, creativity, AI can, can mimic things, it can reproduce things and it can analyze and summarize. But the creation of new material for anything that is not human is impossible. Just, that's just a fact of technological scope, reason, understanding. It is a necessary truth in things like theology, in psychology, in sociology. Every facet in human understanding of the universe around us shows that, guys, that again, I might get a little bit better at what it's doing. And again, that little bit better. There's a lot of room there. Again, I do think that I will someday be able to reach, essentially being Jarvis from the first Iron man, kind of a robot butler that answers your questions, keeps your scallion, your calendar, whatever, keeps an eye on things that it knows, it's recognized that you're interested in, it guesses maybe where you're going and then rationalizes what's the most likely outcome and makes those suggestions to you. But the idea that it's going to come up with brand new incredible ideas. Nah, don't think so. So all of those things said, I really do. I will encourage you all to have a wonderful evening, a wonderful weekend. We will be back on Monday. Yours truly, from Israel. I'm headed to Israel for the entire week. Really looking forward to it. I'm heading with the Newsmax delegation, so I don't necessarily know what to promise you as far as some of the interviews. The schedule is very fluid at the moment. A lot of things moving, a lot of stuff going on. But we'll get to that. We'll get that to you guys as soon as we can. Hopefully live every evening at seven here on the YouTube rumble and X live streams. Then, of course, the podcast afterward, along with our syndication partners. That said, have a wonderful weekend. This is the Daily Signals Tony Kinnet cast, syndicated nationally, first on 93 WIBC. Take care.
