Tony Kennett, host of the Tony Kennett cast. Let's get down to business. You're listening to the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WYPC on CYTV here on the Daily Signal. Good evening and welcome to the Tony Kennett cast here on the Daily Signal. Nationally syndicated first wibc. We begin this evening with a bit of developing news out of our nation's capital. A grand jury, according to the US Department of Justice, has indicted three US citizens, 22 Chinese nationals, and four major Chinese pharmaceutical companies in a major international drug trafficking and money laundering conspiracy. This is from Attorney General Pam Bondi. Quote, protecting Americans from fentanyl is one of this department's most important mission. And it starts with dismantling the international pipelines that bring deadly drugs and precursor chemicals to our shores. We will not rest until we stop Chinese companies from shipping poison to our citizens and bring everyone involved in this lethal trade to swift, complete justice. So many have been asking what the Trump administration was going to move to after, uh, the conversations about immigration. Many asked what the Trump administration was gonna focus on. Was it just gonna be the Department of Education? Was he just gonna kind of circle the wagons related to maybe some of the legal battles? Was he gonna focus on Congress? Were we gonna crack down on crime even more? The answer to all of those is yeah. And in the meantime, they're also going to step up the handling of the international situation. Not in far flung off places, although there is progress being made on those fronts. But, but here in the United States at home, regarding drugs coming into the country. Now, that is the first of the major drug and trafficking arrest announcements. The second comes from, of course, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who reaffirmed this morning. Yeah, even if you are a sad little mewling, whining wimp who doesn't like the U.S. navy and the U.S. air Force sending cartel boats to the bottom of the ocean. Sucks to be you. Whomp. Whomp Secretary of State and Acting National Security Advisor Marco Rubio. The President is going to be on offense against drug cartels and drug trafficking in the United States. It destabilizes not just the country, but the entire Caribbean basin. These particular drugs were probably headed to Trinidad or some other country in the Caribbean, at which point they just contribute to the instability these countries are facing. So the President has been very clear that he's going to use the full power of Americ might of the United States to take on and eradicate these drug cartels. Now, I do want to point out the left's response to this has been rather predictable. So as very many wise individuals, much wiser than I have pointed out, Trump has a unique talent and getting his opponents to take the worst possible opposite to whatever position Trump stands on. As you will recall from his State of the Union style address, I could cure the deadliest disease deadlier than you've ever seen before. I could heal the hurts of the world. And these people would not stand up and clap. Look at you crying. Chuck Schumann, right there, wouldn't stand, wouldn't clap. And he was right and continues to be correct. What you have seen from a lot of the left wing influencer social media accounts, like Martha Bueno, for example, on the libertarian side. So I don't just mean the left here as in the progressive left, but also the libertarians who believe that, well, drugs should all be legal and everything would be wonderful. She says, quote, the government calling people narco terrorists does not mean they can murder people without due process. Drug trafficking is not a death penalty crime and international waters is not America's jurisdiction. So first of all, no, the international waters, AKA all of the coastline after three miles, or excuse me, all of the ocean out three miles from any coast of a sovereign nation or territory. Yeah, that is the United States Navy's territory. It is. See the Monroe Doctrine. Number two, see the United States Navy if you don't like it, sorry, don't care. Americans need to stop cheering the authoritarian state. Please understand this will be used against us next. You know, I'm not often running drug filled boats from Venezuela, so I don't really have to worry about the US Navy dropping a, you know, JDAM through my bass boat. I don't have to worry about that. Not a lot of U.S. navy patrols flying over Brookville Reservoir or Mount Summit Lake in Indiana. The nonsense that comes from these people. And then of course you have the goobers over from the left side of the island as well. Kenneth Roth saying drug trafficking is a crime, not an act of war. Traffickers must be arrested, not summarily executed as US forces just illegally did. Illegal to whom? To whom? Who is this illegal to. Again, you don't have to go. When Ken. When Kilmer Abrego Garcia, The Human Trafficking MS.13 member dubbed Maryland man and later Maryland father was arrested and then deported, the media lost their ever loving minds. And once he was found to have MS.13 symbology on his knuckles, the media stood in defense of that goober. More so it's Not a crime to be a member of MS.13. Although, yes, it absolutely is, both in El Salvador and in the United States. And now Nicolas Maduro, the dictator, fascist and socialist leader of Venezuela, now yells at the United States for shooting holes in Trende Aragua and cartel sun boats carrying drugs and weapons out of Venezuela. Sorry, man. I just do not care that much about your complaints. Other individuals, like Caroline Wren, for example. So the United States Navy sent 4,000 service members and eight U.S. warships to the Caribbean to blow a defenseless fishing boat. A defenseless fishing boat. Incredible. Incredible. I'm amazed. I am amazed. By the way, I do want to point out, actually, the international waters, according to the United nations recognition, is 12 miles off of the coastline, 3 miles in some international trading straits. It gets a little bit sketchy. And again, the United States doesn't listen to the UN on everything because, and I quote, screw the UN as with anything in the real world, it depends. It does indeed. Now that's. I said the second major piece of drug bust news. Now we get to the third. Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney out of D.C. was down in Dallas with a little bit of an update on the largest precursor chemical drug bust seizure in United States history. Check it out. Hi, everyone. I'm Judge Shaneen, and I am in Houston, Texas, and I am surrounded by 1300 barrels of precursors that are being used to make methamphetamines. These precursors were seized as a result of work by my office in Washington, D.C. along with Homeland Security, Security and Customs and border patrol. These 1300 barrels were shipped from Shanghai, China, to Mexico. We intercepted these precursors on the high seas, and now the Sinaloa cartel will not be able to use them to make methamphetamines. And the bottom line is this. Whenever there is an effort on the part of foreign terrorist organizations to create drugs that are killing Americans, we will seize them, whether it's on the high seas or whether it's in the country or a foreign country. Now, producer Nick she did later describe how many pounds of meth those barrels would have created. What was the number? Yeah, with those 1300 barrels, it could have made £420,000 of methamphetamines or just a single season of Breaking Bad. And honestly, through all of these situations, I do want to point out that when China is sending people over to this country to steal the ip foreign secrets, mechanical secrets of American technology, and then sending them home, when China is sending precursor chemicals that are not sent to make Pine Sol, that are sent to make meth to this again to the Sinaloa cartel express shipment from Shanghai. I mean, that is in fact a case to be made that China is effectively at war with the United States. And one of the things that I sincerely hope is that by the end of the second Trump administration that the United States has effectively cut China off as a country from international trade until in some manner it begins to fall apart. Because until the source of the drug problem is solved, it's going to funnel into its this country. It will make its way here at a greater reduced rate for sure. I do appreciate, by the way, the super chat left by Jeff, USMC here says we just need to start writing due process on our bombs because we all know the left is going to start complaining about traffickers rights. We're already there. And yeah, right, due process. We need a JDAM just called Due Process. That'd be a great moniker. Radio Ku. We're going to be back in a second for y'.

Ron Coleman
All.

Tony Kennett
We're going to continue talking about Vance in Minneapolis. More news out of that way on the live stream. It's the Tony Kinid cast here on the Daily Signal. So the vice president of the United States, a Catholic, visited Minneapolis today. Of course, there was the horrific Ascension Church shooting in which a transgender, mentally unwell individual, redundant, I understand, then proceeded to specifically target Catholic students and teachers in a hate crime and killing two, many others injured still in the hospital. We're going to get to that. Vice President J.D. vance and his wife Usha, the second lady of the United States, went to Minneapolis to pay their respects to lay a wreath. Here, of course, was the wreath laying by the vice president and the second lady. So they stand, they pray. Again, it is an emotional visit to again pay tribute to those who again were, were killed and to honor the victims. And it's an important thing. Again, remember, the Biden administration let places like East Palestine, Ohio, languish. Same with Nashville. It is important to have an administration that does, in fact, show the care that is necessary after a horrible tragedy like this one. So the activists that showed up to dance and scream at Vice President Vance is just a decision, a decision that someone made for sure. And again, not just, you know, out there dancing and acting like idiots and in advocacy for this, that and the other, but also just going right into the full on screaming, yelling, waving all of their pride, whatever, rainbow flags, trans flags. Again, this was a member of the trans community that shot up this particular school. And yet, ah, yes, the LGBTQ activists have to get out there and get in front of the country and show just how absolutely important they are. The lack of decorum from those on the left continues to dominate every single perception Americans have of them in the polls. Now Mary Margaret Olihan used to be a colleague of ours over at the Daily Signal, now she's with the Daily Wire. She did ask a rather sweet question to the Vice President and the Second lady that I think is worth showing about one of the survivors, Weston. She points out this is the first time since he had visited that church and school that she saw the Vice President and Second lady smile.
- [12:45]
Reagan Reese
Do you speak to Weston today? Weston, the young man that had something in his neck? Shrapnel from the bullet.
- [12:51]
Tony Kennett
Yeah. Ush and I spoke to him. He had just got out of surgery so we weren't able to see Weston, but we did talk to him on the phone. Just a little boy, thank God, full of life, happy, recovering well. And you know, I told him I guess he has a 15 year old older brother. I said, you can tell the Vice President from the Vice President United States that your older brother has to be nice to you for at least the next week. Weston was very excited to hear that, but just a beautiful family and I'm glad that he's doing well. Again, a good thing. This should be a moment that doesn't really have a lot of insane partisan scorn or yelling at it. This should be something that again, you can have individuals that come together and say, yeah, this is a good thing. It's not really hard to do. Regarding the drug cartel situation. President Biden's administration in 2023 ordered the U.S. navy to sink pirate boats off the coast of the Middle east and Africa. That is a good thing. You are allowed to praise policy even if you really don't like the guy in charge. And the left instead has spent the day going after Vance. How dare he, with his pro gun views visit something like that. Well, the conspiracies are going to get a little bit worse and we're going to get into that. Unfortunately, that's where the news is. Don't go anywhere. It's the Tony Kenneth cast. It's the Tony Kenneth had cast on 93 WYBC. So in a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very bad decision, the left has attempted to turn the entire last couple of days of coverage again, their last chance, and I do mean their very, very, very last chance at landing on unifying point for the party, something that they can express to voters. The left has instead decided to make everything right. Now, a wild conspiracy. And I don't just mean like a conspiracy that someone is probably doing something shady behind closed doors. The things that Democrats and Republicans accuse each other of. All the ding dong dang day. No. Instead, the left has decided to go all in, all in on the idea that Trump is at death's door. And also, he probably faked his own attempted assassination. I'm a little shocked to see this be the thing. They're trying to coalesce around this again. I just asked Victor Davis Hansen, we had on the show, what do you think the left is going to send around is going to be like kind of socialist economics? Is it going to be the racism angle again? We saw that with the Lisa Cook situation at the Federal Reserve Board. Nope. Insane conspiracies. Trump faked getting shot. Here's Joy Reid.
- [15:28]
Reagan Reese
I mean, and the reality is this.
- [15:29]
Tony Kennett
Is the oldest president we've ever had in our history. His father, I believe, died out of the complications, mutations of Alzheimer's. He's showing clear signs that he isn't well. His face looks like it's coming apart. He's got all these bruises all over his hands, which we don't know what that's from.
- [15:45]
Ron Coleman
They won't explain it.
- [15:46]
Tony Kennett
He's got these magical doctors who claim that he was shot in the ear, but his ear, I guess, grew bad.
- [15:51]
Ron Coleman
He had a Duplo bandage on one minute, no bandage the next.
- [15:54]
Tony Kennett
We can't get a medical record from this alleged assassination. He was supposedly shot. He was supposedly shot. Ah, yes. Suppose supposedly was shot.
- [16:06]
Reagan Reese
Nothing we've got.
- [16:09]
Tony Kennett
Where are the investigative records? One day he slapped his maxi pad on his ear, the next day the.
- [16:14]
Reagan Reese
Ear is totally fine.
- [16:16]
Tony Kennett
This has already been explained. I'm. This is hilarious. It's fine. And we.
- [16:19]
Jasmine Crockett
And, and I remember being in mainstream.
- [16:21]
Tony Kennett
Media where we both used to work, saying, isn't it odd that we've never.
- [16:25]
Reagan Reese
Asked for his medical records?
- [16:27]
Tony Kennett
And I got in trouble for that. Right.
- [16:28]
Jasmine Crockett
So you're not allowed to even say.
- [16:31]
Tony Kennett
Isn't that weird? We have more. Yeah. No one on the left has ever questioned Trump's health before. Yeah, I didn't hear about this from 2016 to 2020. And then from 2020 to 2024. I didn't hear that used as the equation to Biden's insane, rampant dementia. I know more about the attempted Ford assassination. Henry. President Ford, Donald Trump and the Daryl Ford thing happened when I was a child. Right.
- [16:55]
Reagan Reese
And they put out more information almost immediately.
- [16:57]
Tony Kennett
We knew almost immediately, almost everything about Kennedy's assassination. I know more about McKinley's assassination than I do about this attempted attempt to assassinate Trump. She does not. I guarantee you she knows next to nothing about William McKinley's assassination. I guarantee it. She then goes on to talk about how insane. Oh, and all of the. And then he's gone for 48 hours. What? Where is he? Is he dead? Is he, Is it like a reincarnated corpse? Is it Frankenstein? Quick, somebody call Mary Shelley. I mean, she's never actually read Shelley's book of Frankenstein's monster, but those things all said. Well, we head over now to the Daily Callers, White House correspondent Reagan Reese and the linchpin in the discovery of President Donald Trump not being dead. Because in the midst of his wake, his funeral, the end of all things, you decided now was the time for a 90 minute interview with the President. I mean, what in the world was it like to be in the middle of that?
- [17:53]
Reagan Reese
Yeah, well, first I'll add, I was not supposed to do the interview that past Friday. It was supposed to be earlier. It was supposed to be after President Trump's Zelensky meeting. And so when I learned, oh, man, I'm going to be doing this interview going into Labor Day weekend, I have to say I was a little like, this is not great timing. Journalism is a business. But then, of course, I ended up being the person who had to prove that Donald Trump was alive, which is a big responsibility for a 25 year old journalists living in Washington D.C. i'm here to tell you that from the moment I stepped in the Oval Office, I probably had one foot in the door. The President was energetic, he was ready for me. He was asking me a million questions about myself, about my past reporting. He wanted to know if my parents were alive, what they did, how old they were, et cetera. We did this long, extensive interview. We even toured the Rose Garden at one point, the President's request. And then he would have kept going, but his staff had told him multiple times, hey, there's like, you know, world leader things.
- [18:58]
Tony Kennett
Yeah, the rest of the world to get to. I mean, it's just such a, it's a strange place to be in when the rest of the world is on social media claiming all of these secretive conspiracies on this, that and the other. And you're there right in front of whatever the subject is. Of course, you and I were just over in Israel on the border with Gaza City and we're looking over and seeing the aid trucks and we're witnessing all of the flurries of activity and all of the conspiracies are still going like they're popping up on our phones while right there. And it's so untrue and not even in a way that. Well, it's kind of close. I can see where they went wrong. I mean some of this stuff is just laughable. And the Trump's. The Trump is dead rumors is gotta be one of these things that I've never found so insidiously stupid, you know, to be brought up and then. But again, to be in that position. Did you, did you get anything really, you know, extra stellar, fantastic, spicy in the 90 minutes?
- [19:56]
Reagan Reese
Oh, totally. The President told me that he's considering or open to reopening insane asylums. We. I asked him to kind of justify, you know, why he's considering using US forces in the air as a part of security guarantees in Ukraine and Russia. And I will say I just think the President's thought or approach to war. He is very troubled by anyone dying. And he continuously brought that up. It was really interesting to hear him say that the Mexican president is too scared to bring in the military into the US military into Mexico. She's too afraid of the cartels, which is like unbelievable to me. He also talked about Israel and that conflict and this was something that made international news. He said that he doesn't think Israel has the same control. These are his words, control over Congress that they did 15 years ago. And so that was a really big headline and oh, of course, you'll love this, Tony. When he did take me out to the Rose Garden, he is hanging, he told me he is hanging a presidential wall of fame. He's going to have all of the portraits of the US Presidents hanging around the Rose Garden.
- [21:11]
Tony Kennett
And you recommended me for a portrait. Reagan, you're a darling. Thank you so much.
- [21:16]
Reagan Reese
No, but the President did ask me my advice on what he thinks, what I. He wants to know what I thought he should do in Joe Biden's portrait. And he told me that he has a photo of the auto pen that he's considering that would be putting in Joe Biden's.
- [21:32]
Tony Kennett
Hilarious. That would be incredible.
- [21:34]
Reagan Reese
I told them to do it. I told them it's very Trump. Because when the President of the United States asks you for your advice, I don't care who you are, journalists, not whatever Democrat you tell the President what you think. And so I said, it's very you, Mr. President, I think you have to do it. So he said, you can see it in two weeks.
- [21:52]
Tony Kennett
That's absolutely stellar. Well, good. I know who to blame. Then when the latest string of pearl clutching comes around again, of course, we just talked about the on LinkedIn, on the social media platform for really depressed businessmen, Trump ordered the White House photo to be changed to his face. So now on, like all of the former president, like Barack Obama's places that you've worked, there's just a picture of Trump's face on Obama's profile. I mean, it's freaking hilarious. So I gotta say, one of the last things I wanted to ask you, though, when you're in a situation where you're interviewing the president, the leader of the free world, you're asking all of these important questions, you're getting responses. Did you get direct answers to questions in private when you're sitting there doing the interview, or were you getting kind of the. Because again, remember, we were in Israel, we got some running around, we'd ask a question, sometimes we'll get straight answers. Sometimes it was like a curvy d, you know, curvy deer trail down a West Virginia mountain. Just every way but straight. What did you see with Trump?
- [22:53]
Reagan Reese
Well, I would encourage everybody to go read the full transcript of me and President Trump. I put every single word that both of us said in that transcript and.
- [23:02]
Tony Kennett
You can down below that.
- [23:04]
Reagan Reese
He answered every single question directly. And I was very surprised. Of course, that's a journalist's dream. And you'll see in there that we move on and off the record several times. And he answered questions that he didn't want to tell me on the record, he answered them also. Very straightforward, off the record as well. And that's an incredible position to be in. And so also, just when we're talking about Trump is dead or Trump's lost his mind. You read that transcript? Yes. The president weaves, he rambles, he loves to talk, he goes a million different places. But every single question I asked him, he gave me a straight on answer. And I don't think we could have said the same for President Joe Biden.
- [23:48]
Tony Kennett
Most important question. And then I'll let you get to your next busy event on the schedule. Here you now stand among other great beacons of ladies who've interviewed the President, like Margaret Brennan, like that one old lady from 60 Minutes like Dana Bash. And I got to ask, how does it feel to be one of the only ladies in recent years to interview the President and not humiliate herself in front of the country?
- [24:15]
Reagan Reese
It feels great. The president told me that he thinks I'm nice and a good one. And so that's something I'll never forget. It's a badge of honor. And I hope every president I get the opportunity to interview, no matter which side of the aisle, will say the same thing.
- [24:29]
Tony Kennett
Well, we'll look forward to the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and I expected to be invited to that, even if I don't get a portrait. Reagan Reese, Daily Caller, thanks as always for stopping by and giving us an inside look at the White House.
- [24:41]
Reagan Reese
Thank you.
- [24:42]
Tony Kennett
Radio crew will send you guys over to commercial. No, that was a little bit long. We'll be back in a second. Continue on the live stream here on the Tony Kenned cast. Now, the. The conspiracies do, in fact, get way worse because, you know, of course they do. Uh, Jen Psaki has now decided to throw in the maximum amount of allegedly, essentially, this is like a. Remember when OJ Simpson described if he had, you know, killed his wife, like, here's how he would have done it. And he would then wrote a whole book about it if I had done it. And then he would chime in on other spouse murders for the rest of his. He was chime in on other spouse. Jen Psaki is, of all people, Biden's first press secretary has now decided to weigh in on msnbc. Just chef's kiss. Here you go. Really can't make this stuff up sometimes. And look, we may never know why Donald Trump suddenly spent a week hiding entirely from the American public, but you don't actually need baseless online conspiracies to explain why he might not want to show his face in public right now. There was a meme that I particularly enjoy that is an all black backdrop, and there is a picture of a white cartoon fish looking at a fish hook. And the caption just read, that's bait. Jen Psaki saying, man, you know, I'm sure there are some conspiracy. I'm sure a lot of people would have questions as to why Trump might disappear from the media for a week. Oh, you burn me. Mm. The shenanigans afoot. And the Democrats are doing this in a number of ways that are rather questionable. They're doing this with Epstein because, of course, they are. So in a couple of ways, the Democrats have decided in the same way that they are going to bat for actual drug cartel shipping operations. Uh, again, stepping it up from just MS.13. Now we're going for the whole Sinaloa cartel, which I'm sure will be advocated to be a new state alongside Washington D.C. by next April. But in the meantime, they've also decided to again go all in on the Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy, you had some people on the right that were interested in seeing a lot of things released, and we talked about that quite a lot. And then in the same breath, you had a lot of people on the left run with transparency arguments that have been not just instrumental, they've been deeply necessary, crucial to covering up for Biden, for the Obama, Hillary Clinton scandals, plural. And now they have decided that it's time to get out in front of the country and suggest that, you know, Trump just needs to let the victims get out there and speak and release some files. And so, you know, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, they forced Congress to do a vote, releasing a lot of files out there. And it turns out that the victims of Jeffrey Epstein have gotten up in front of the country to speak as well. And, well, as for that whole, Donald Trump was the evil mastermind behind it all. Well, here's one of the victim's lawyers.
- [27:48]
Jasmine Crockett
Thank you all for being here.
- [27:50]
Tony Kennett
I'll go first and then I'll let them. They're much more important than me. But I don't understand why it's a hostile act. I can tell you that. I talked to President Clinton. I'm sorry, President Trump back in 2009 and several times after that. He didn't think that it was a hoax then. In fact, he helped me. He got on the phone, he told me things that were helping our investigation. Now, our investigation wasn't looking into him, but he was helping us then. He didn't treat this as a hoax. So at this point in time, I would hope that he would revert back to what he was saying to get elected, which is, I want transparency. This about face that occurred, none of us understand it. In fact, I don't understand how this is an issue that that's even up for debate. How do you not stand behind these women after you've heard their stories and know that hundreds of them were abused and it was only because files are being kept in secrecy. The world should know who he is, who protected him. And the other, again, he's not wrong, but his analysis is a little off. So first of all, he is right. There is evidence, copious amounts on file, the testimonies of witnesses, the evidence on the books that shows it is likely the whistleblower on Jeffrey Epstein was Donald Trump. So why wouldn't Trump be parading that around everywhere? He's tired of it. The dude's got a lot that he would rather the country focus on, and Trump treats the exact same, no matter what it is no matter what out there is captivating the American public anywhere. If there is something Trump wants to focus on and people won't shut up about something else. You've seen him do this on the golf course. If someone won't shut up, he's like, you know, you should really consider shutting up. That's what he does. So, by the way, we'll get to more of this in just a second because I have to take a small victory lap. Don't go anywhere. Gotta bring the radio crew back from commercial. It's the Tony Kenneth cast. This is the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WYBC. Welcome back to the Tony Kenneth cast. You guys know how much I hate admitting that I was right as, as the lead individual for humility. In fact, you can read my latest book, the World's 10 Most Humble Men and how I chose the other nine. I Look, you know, one of the things that I deeply enjoy is keeping receipts. It's kind of a brand of this show. We keep individuals accountable by keeping receipts. All you need is enough terabytes on the hard drive. And instead of some Democrat politicians who fill it with pictures of children, we fill ours with clips of them saying stupid things on the air. And when the DOJ got in front of the country and announced the Epstein investigation was closed, I heard from people way out in conspiracy land that the list, there was this Hollywood style list of all of the people and what they had done. And you know, I had gone in front of public saying, guys, that's a really Hollywood idea. People don't actually keep things, particularly in a little black book. And, well, and the DOJ proceeded to review and assess and rule that the systemic review, systematic review, excuse me, revealed no incriminating client list. And then everyone proceeded to lose their minds. And the reason that they proceeded to lose their minds was in part very justifiably so, because Kash Patel and Vice President Vance and Attorney General Pam Bondi had made it very clear that there was a client list, an Epstein list that has been ingrained into the mind of the public via multiple reports by memory and yes, by Hollywood. Because every American believes that every single mobster on earth has like a secret black book that they write every crime they've ever committed in. And so when you have all of that rolling in together, everyone is expecting a neat little black book with unicorns and hearts on it that says Jeffrey Epstein's little child trafficking journal. And here's the secret. Yeah, not in there. Nope. There is no actual black book. Now do the Victims of the Epstein situation believe that there are individuals that are deeply involved and need to come to light. Yes, they do. Now, we're going to talk to Ron Coleman about this in just a couple of minutes, so I won't belabor it. There. There's a clip. One of them alleges that it's. It's Bill Clinton. And we're going to get to that clip maybe a little bit later because there is more to dig into, mainly because the Democrats are, and this is, I cannot believe this is still developing news because they just find new heights every day. The Democrats are drifting further into chaos. I'm astounded by it. I really am. I mean, when you watch election after election, there's some kind of leadership structure that develops people, at least when you get to a certain point away from elections, they stop being blisteringly stupid. Unless they're Republicans. We're the ones that are supposed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Republicans are supposed to be the party. You get a week out from the election. And the candidate that I've supported, turns out he got 15. You know, he paid for an abortion, he got 15 DUIs. And also he may at one time have impersonated the sheikh of Saudi Arabia. Those scandals, that's like Republican territory, right? No. The Democrats are drifting further into insane scandal after scandal. Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago, in the midst of trying to act super duper tough, has now gotten to the point where he's surrounding himself with a 150 police officer security detail. 150 guys, that is a platoon and a half on his security detail, while simultaneously he has removed every single police resource officer, every police officer that might keep a school safe, you know, from like a shooting. Brandon Johnson press conference, go.
- [33:29]
Ron Coleman
And your wife Stacey, be willing to cut your security detail from 150 sworn police officers and, and put those police officers back on the street where they can protect real Chicagoans. So we're very proud of the work that we're doing collectively to ensure that our police officers have the resources that they need. As I've said repeatedly, it's policing and affordable housing. It's policing and youth employment. It's policing and mental and behavioral health care services.
- [33:57]
Tony Kennett
It's going to take all of us.
- [33:58]
Ron Coleman
The business community, philanthropic community.
- [33:59]
Tony Kennett
You see how quickly he deflected on that. So are you willing to not have 150 officers surrounding you again, like it's in. What is it? In the dark night when all of the police are surrounding Harvey Dent and they're like all walking with them because they think the Joker is going to get Harvey Dent. And again, I really do enjoy. And by the way, I'm not the only one who's noticing this conservative Tony out of Indiana. And in the Daily Signal in D.C. cNN's David Axelrod, who is not a blithering idiot. Axelrod can read the writing on the wall. And in this case, it is absolutely mene. Mene Tekel. Here's David talking about JB Pritzker yelling about the crime situation.
- [34:39]
Ron Coleman
I would be careful about playing 28 politics on this issue because the right answer is we'll take all the help we can get as long as it's appropriate help, as long as it's stuff that will really help. I mean, these National Guards men aren't even trained to do that work. They're not authorized to do that work.
- [35:00]
Tony Kennett
So I don't know if I agree with that. National Guardsmen are given quite a bevy of skills for urban managing. But Axelrod's point so far, solid.
- [35:10]
Ron Coleman
You know, send us the resources that we need. We want to work with you. If there are criminal, if there are people doing violent crimes here who are illegal immigrants, we want them out of our city. We'll work with you on that. I think that's the appropriate position to take.
- [35:25]
Tony Kennett
Correct? Correct. Absolutely correct. So if James Carville and David Axelrod, if they can see this stuff in advance, why can't the rest of the left? Well, here's the secret. There are actually people on the left who have recognized this, both in the media and not just the broadcast media, the written media, as well as on the kind of Never Trumper. Right. And then also in the actual elected official class of people. We're going to talk about one of the never Trumper right who has shockingly kind of gotten a Jonah Goldberg of the Dispatch. But to sum things up rather acutely here, Wes Moore is far more a threat to the Republican Party than Gavin Newsom of California. Here's why. Right now, Gavin Newsom is beating his chest and saying he's going to fight Trump everywhere and he's not going to accept federal help. And he's very mad. And he's going to be the leader of the resistance. Whereas Wes Moore said, okay, well, you want to send some federal resources to Baltimore, you got it. People of Baltimore, they need it. People of Maryland, they may need it. Whatever you can do. Willing to work on that. He essentially backed down really quick after doing the Gavin Newsom line for about 12 hours. That is a smarter political Move. It is. It is by the intelligence, by the rote, raw, brutal political analysis of something that is a far more intelligent move. Now, is it what the people of Baltimore need? No. Send in the guard yourself now. But alas, this brings us to the stupidest positions of all. Of course, coming from Minnesota, while Vice President Vance was visiting Ascension School and laying wreaths and talking with survivors, what is Tim Walls out doing? Well, he's suggesting just good old fashioned socialist gun grabs. TIM Walls, GOVERNOR OF Minnesota oh, sorry, that's in segment three. Tony, get the right clip going.
- [37:14]
Ron Coleman
When they had a school shooting in Scotland or they had an incident in Australia, they simply made changes. They are just as free as we are. They still have gun ownership requirements, but they have made sure that they don't have these. And since they did those things, they don't have them. We are an outlier amongst nations in terms of what happens to our children. And I refuse to think that that's okay. It's simply not okay.
- [37:36]
Tony Kennett
Jacob Fry, the mayor of Minneapolis, says probably one of the most unhinged statements. I mean, you want to get Republicans up in arms literally to come out and vote, this is how you encourage them to do so. So we have had bans on assault weapons nationally before that ban then expired. And so this is not, it's not as if this is some unique thing that has never been tried. Other countries have had mass shootings and then rather than sit on their hands, they have made the move to ban assault weapons. So that. Careful with that one, bud. We're going to let the radio crew head over to commercial. Continue this over on the live stream. It's the Tony Kenneth cast. Other countries have tried it again. The United States per capita, not the worst country when it comes to mass shootings. France and Norway are worse on that regard. A lot of other countries as well. The idea they're going to hold up New Zealand and Australia as the two bright shining beacons or the UK or Canada. Careful, careful, that kind of thing doesn't happen again. The only difference is we haven't made that move in decades and so we're in the position to do it now. Are there logistics that need to be worked out just like any piece of legislation? Of course there are. Of course there are. But we got to have the argument, we got to take the necessary steps and we're in the position now to act. Can you be more specific about Assault weapon is a fairly arbitrary term that.
- [39:06]
Jasmine Crockett
Would need to be defined.
- [39:07]
Tony Kennett
You're talking about banning certain models, certain assaulted features, Someone give that reporter a medal and a raise. That's an actual question. What do you mean again? You get out here and you say all these platitudes. What do you mean specifically? That's a question that should be asked to Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Socialists, who's from Whoville, Give me some details or shut up and sit down.
- [39:31]
Jasmine Crockett
Speak to how you're defining assault.
- [39:33]
Tony Kennett
Right. Generally speaking we're talking about guns and devices that are built to be assault weapons and or devices that are built to shift non assault weapons to be able to reel off a whole bunch of bullets all at once. That's not a thing. And also as much as I would love to watch him try to define what an auto sear is, those are already illegal in the United States. They shouldn't be, but those are already illegal. What do you mean gun? As much as again, I would love to see AR15 and M16, you know, lower carriers and receivers be sold in every vending machine because I think it would be a much more polite society. That ain't the case. He does, he knows nothing about what he's talking about. That's not going to prevent him from saying again, a free campaign advertisement for Republicans in the greater Midwest in the country. And we've seen both of those in our city. We have seen the ability to simply attach a device to a non assault weapon and suddenly it is made into one that can reel off 30 rounds. This is like that USA Today meme where there's like possible AR15 attachments and one of them is like a chainsaw because like they watched like Sean like the, you know, Night of the Dead or something like that. We're trying, we're trying to prevent both of those things from happening. So some models and also certain assaulted features. That's correct.
- [41:00]
Jasmine Crockett
A number of states have some sort.
- [41:01]
Tony Kennett
Of restriction or ban.
- [41:02]
Jasmine Crockett
Is there a state that you think Minnesota or maybe Moms commandments on this.
- [41:06]
Tony Kennett
Like should model it after. Because they do. The definitions vary. Yes, the definitions do vary. For purposes of what we're asking for today, there are I believe eight states that have allowed for municipalities and cities to act. So again we are saying the best scenario here is obviously a national ban. The next best scenario is a statewide ban. But if you're either un. Unwilling or unable to act at those levels of government, give us the ability to take the steps to keep our children safe. Are any of you represented in the legislature by Republicans and if so have you talked to them or. I mean it seems like that's where.
- [41:55]
Jasmine Crockett
The Pressure needs to be applied.
- [41:58]
Tony Kennett
And then it gets awkward. Door to door confiscation. Woo hoo boy. All right, we'll be back in a second. It's the Tony Kennedcast here on the Daily Signal. Foreign this is the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WIBC. Well, it's not Thursday and I say it's not Thursday because we have been teasing this legal segment for ages and the schedule and breaking news won't stop. So we're bringing Ron on on Wednesday. Couldn't wait. Ron Coleman, one of the greats. He's a fantastic lawyer, of course, a brilliant mind in policy. Also his podcast over on Coleman Nation, it's a stellar one. Ron, how's it going, man?
- [42:43]
Ron Coleman
It's great, thanks. I'm at the, the National Conservative Convention, national conservatism convention in D.C. having a fantastic time, meeting great people. This is just, this is the place to be in 2025. All that other stuff is passe.
- [43:04]
Tony Kennett
Thanks for making it clear that I should have been in Washington this week.
- [43:09]
Ron Coleman
Well, you should have. There's no time. There's two more days of conference now.
- [43:14]
Tony Kennett
You have anything else to do now? I'm getting ideas. Oh, always things to do here on the Tony Kinnickast. For example, while you guys are enjoying the warm cultural revival of good conservatism in of all places, the land of little crime for the first time in decades, the rest of the country is dealing with some yeses and no's and rallies regarding National Guard troops in Louisiana. Producer Nick tells me maybe to Shreveport and then of course, Colorado or Chicago right now. Sorry, not Colorado. That really would be news. So off the top of your head here in your legal expertise, how much can the President of the United States actually do here regarding dispatching the National Guard? I know that with Louisiana, if he has the governor's approval, he can send him in, but what about Illinois? What are his options really like there?
- [44:09]
Ron Coleman
I think it is an uphill battle legally. If he doesn't have the cooperation of local authorities, I don't really see how, you know, there's, there's not an insurrection going on. It's not just, it's not Fort Sumter. Fort Sumter, I think, was probably a lot less dangerous place in the south of Chicago.
- [44:33]
Tony Kennett
Fort Sumter didn't have trash in the homeless epidemic. But still. Yeah, I hear the legal argument there.
- [44:38]
Ron Coleman
Yeah, I don't think he can do it. And I'm not so sure that I would approve of it either, if it.
- [44:46]
Tony Kennett
Is a scary thing. Genuinely.
- [44:48]
Ron Coleman
Well, yeah. It is a level of federalization of law enforcement that I don't think has any basis in the Constitution. I'm open to being educated, but I don't see it.
- [45:03]
Tony Kennett
So upon that, again, just building on that and continuing forward here, one of the questions that I have is along the idea of sending in ICE Immigration Customs Enforcement to enforce federal law in the city limits. This is something I've always had a question of. Does the current way that Homeland Security is set up, the Department of Justice, how that's set up, allow for Trump to attach a National Guard, say a platoon or maybe a company to protecting ICE agents under duress? How does that work?
- [45:37]
Ron Coleman
That's a good question. Not being anything kind of national security agent, national security expert, I would nonetheless, from my general understanding of the way things work in our system, I think that would be your best case. As was done in Seattle. Once you're protecting federal law enforcement, then the president should be able to use whatever force is required. In fact, that does make it more like a Fort Sumter kind of issue with what happened to Fort Sumter. That was United States army fort that was being attacked by the militia of, you know, the Confederate States. So you don't have to have a militia involved or nonetheless, in fact, not only is there a very strong argument once you frame it that way, that the president is empowered to do that, but there's probably a very strong argument that he's duty bound to do that.
- [46:40]
Tony Kennett
Let's talk about a couple of other duty bound things. Congress is wrestling with quite a bit at the moment, including some of the Epstein files, some of the, you know, Jeffrey Epstein documents that have been brought out, especially some of the former victims. I don't know if you've seen the NBC News clip in which they asked an entire panel of Epstein victims if they saw or heard Donald Trump doing or saying any of that.
- [47:05]
Reagan Reese
I do have to ask and I.
- [47:06]
Tony Kennett
Know and it's just something that I think we're compelled to at this moment with the attention on President Trump with these questions around a pardon, did anybody see or hear of the president himself doing anything inappropriate as it related to Jeffrey Epstein?
- [47:19]
Reagan Reese
No.
- [47:21]
Tony Kennett
So if the particular crew here says they didn't see Donald Trump do anything, there were other individuals from this particular group of Epstein victims that have now claimed in Producer Nick obviously you can correct me if I'm wrong on this one. They are going to release a list of individuals who are of high influence or have been known before. They're going to release their own list to the public because they say now they do not know of any kind of official Epstein list per se at the state level that we've all been told existed for years.
- [47:55]
Ron Coleman
I don't know that we've actually been told that it existed. I think a lot of people told.
- [48:00]
Tony Kennett
From people campaigning, referred to colloquially, I should say. That's what I mean. Yeah. Feel free to heat.
- [48:06]
Ron Coleman
I mean, as someone. I'm not a criminal law lawyer, but I. I am a litigator, and I will say that people who do things wrong that are unlawful don't usually leave a treasure map all in one place. It's not that it's never happened. There are times when it happens. But I was always skeptical of the claim that here, you know, here are our clients, here's the. Here's the kinks that they like, here's what they pay us. That's just not good mission security, you know?
- [48:38]
Tony Kennett
No. And it's one of the. It's one of the things that often bothered me that, again, the Hollywoodization of what we believe intelligence to be in the criminal underworld to be. And I, of course, played earlier on the show, actually, right before we brought you on a clip, because you know how much I love being right of myself saying this. Back when this had started, I said, I personally don't think that there would actually be a list. Even when we got Al Capone's actual ledger, it wasn't written down like. And I gave. And I gave Jimmy 220 grams of the whatever over here, and I sent 16 cases of Canadian whiskey over to Jim Bob on the south side. Like, they didn't do that. Ah. And again, not that it couldn't happen. We're very arrogant people. As a. As a. As a species, we're very arrogant. But I don't know. I think there's other things to move on to.
- [49:28]
Ron Coleman
But let's. Let's add this layer to it. The same people who are saying this are also saying that Epstein was a. An agent of foreign influence. Okay. That. That makes perfect sense. So the. The Mossad, known as the most inept and incompetent in intelligence agency in the world, tells us.
- [49:49]
Tony Kennett
And one of the last great pager salesman organizations. Oh.
- [50:04]
Ron Coleman
Tells him. So listen, remember, keep really clear, unencrypted and uncoded records of who all our blackmail clients are so that if you're ever busted, it'll point directly to us and it. And it'll blow the whole thing sky up. That. That doesn't make a lot of sense. That makes. That makes it make Even less sense.
- [50:27]
Tony Kennett
So you also have subsequent updates from the State Department or from the Department of Justice or from Congress about decisions they are making regarding such documents now. And the claim will be, oh, looks like the Mossad got to him. Oh, looks like Israel issued new orders.
- [50:43]
Ron Coleman
Right. So that's. You can never disprove a conspiracy.
- [50:47]
Tony Kennett
The Mossad had the ability to delete documents or to convey Congress X, Y and Z beforehand, but now they didn't go and delete them back when they could have been implicated in the mid teens, but they can now. None of that makes any sense. And then they usually they quote some garbage, say from the Talmud. Oh well actually the secret Judaism requires you to brag about breaking the law. And it's, it's like you said, you can't disprove a conspiracy to some folks.
- [51:20]
Ron Coleman
Correct. So I mean there's, I mean it is, it is a sordid affair. It was clearly mishandled at many, many junctures. And is there something in the law enforcement record that would not shine glory on our institute on more than one possible state, by which I don't mean state of New York, but state. State or Florida, but government agency or operation? Yeah, very, very likely. But I don't know. I don't even know that. I don't know that.
- [51:57]
Tony Kennett
So this is kind of the last thing that I want to, I want to throw out to you here though, as the, the master of litigation, the litigation sensation such as yourself here, Some of these, these particular Epstein victims, they come forward. Let's. I'm going to paint a hypothetical here. They come forward and they say the number one criminal, the man of the painting and address, not Tim McBride, Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton is the guy. He is the one. Are any of these statements from this point admissible in court? Are we looking at statute of limitations stuff? If they come out all unified again, I'm just going to pretend here, I'll go forward and say it was all Bill Clinton the entire time.
- [52:34]
Ron Coleman
It's not a matter of court. If they came out and were able to not only make the claim but substantiated. Substantiated. In other words, corroborating testimony and you.
- [52:49]
Tony Kennett
Know, a recently like a found. Let's, let's, let's steal man it of vhs. Exactly, exactly.
- [52:55]
Ron Coleman
It's right. In other words, as we used to say in Law School, 60 bishop swearing on a Bible. Okay, okay. So would that therefore, in other words, to me it seems that prosecution is really besides the point. I don't really know what the Statutes of limitations are. I know that, you know, if they.
- [53:16]
Tony Kennett
Involve Donald Trump, federal prosecution, or are we talking district or state level prosecution?
- [53:22]
Ron Coleman
And I'm comfortable saying I don't know what any of them are in any, at any level of jurisdiction. My real point is that I think it would be sensational enough and newsworthy enough and scandalous enough if Clinton were implicated in this. But I don't really think, except for a few people who are, you know, really obsessed with this, I don't really see the, the public interest in prosecution and even a sleazeball like Bill Clinton for crimes that, again, entirely made up hypothetical. But for crimes that played in the 1980s, I just don't see that, let's.
- [54:10]
Tony Kennett
Say, okay, well, let me, let me give you one last deal, man, and I'll, I'll let you go. Because again, when it comes to these things, I mean, I've been in your DMs, your messages before asking you these things. It's not just for interviews. I really do come to you for this kind of, these kind of questions. There are people in the chat right now, I don't even have to look over at that screen. I know they're there saying, I want the Clintons prosecuted. I know there was stuff. And there are a good number, especially of the not crazy people on the left and right who do want accountability.
- [54:37]
Ron Coleman
There is a reasonable argument for that position. It happens not to be my argument, but there is a reasonable bargain. But then, then you have to come on to the freshness of the evidence. And in other words, not only is it technically possible to prosecute, but would a reasonable prosecutor take the case? And I don't want to sound like I'm quoting James Comey, who might be even sleazier and more disgusting than Bill Clinton in his own way, but, you know, you still have to make that decision both at a prosecutor level and also just as a public, at a public policy level, if you're running the Justice Department or the state prosecutorial office, that would be relevant to this, and if it's in New York, forget it. You give people a complete scumbag.
- [55:31]
Tony Kennett
Sure. I mean, again, given the, you know, so many of the different courts, the grand juries that are just tossing stuff out as soon as, you know, it comes in. The reason I ask you that, and I do put press in a little bit on that, is that there are people who do feel as though nothing is ever done. And so to some of the legal experts, I do like asking the question, what then can people expect As a measure of accountability, after the evidence is no longer, you know, hot and ready.
- [55:58]
Jasmine Crockett
Here's your hot and ready pizza.
- [56:00]
Tony Kennett
No calling, no waiting. There's no rules. What's your shirt back on? There's one rule.
- [56:07]
Ron Coleman
Well, I think that if you were able to demonstrate through public documents and, you know, recorded stuff and whatnot, that a prominent public figure was involved in the scandalous topic, that's a level of accountability. But people don't really appreciate judges don't put elderly people in prison unless it has to be January 6th. You know, it's just, yeah, it's fine to pound your fist and want accountability, and there's a real, real lack of it. But we have to really also realize we're talking about conduct that took place decades ago. And I'm not saying, therefore, it's okay, therefore you get away with it. You get away with it. I'm not saying that at all. But society does have to sort of move on. There are terrible things happening everywhere. I'm sitting here in a hotel lobby in Washington, D.C. there are terrible things happening within blocks of me. I guarantee you it right now. And there isn't always going to be accountability. Maybe we do have to. We do have to, you know, make our decisions about what we're going to focus on.
- [57:25]
Tony Kennett
There's only so many hours in the day, so you might as well spend them going after what, you know, you can get instead of things that might look nice.
- [57:32]
Ron Coleman
And what victims can we actually prevent or be victims tomorrow, you know, if there's accountability.
- [57:38]
Tony Kennett
Ah, that's a great point.
- [57:40]
Ron Coleman
Why, thank you.
- [57:41]
Tony Kennett
No, no, serious people who are, again, let's again, painting a, you know, hypothetical Executive A right now is participating in, God forbid, some type of sexual crime. And that by investigating and going after that person now with a limited number of investigators, prosecutors, law enforcement teams that we have, we could theoretically prevent additional crimes from occurring as opposed to going after stuff that maybe society wants to be solved. But again, given the limited number of resources we have, first we must ensure that Executive A is prevented from committing additional sexual crimes rather than.
- [58:17]
Ron Coleman
Yeah, I don't want to make too much of an argument from resources. You know, we know the federal government can throw whatever resources it wants at almost any problem it wants to. But as a matter of public policy, of focus, and also political. I mean, you know, Donald Trump wasn't in office when any of this stuff happened. Republicans weren't like only politicians who were dying at this point were in office, and they had nothing, they had nothing to do with it. The machinery of state is complicated and yeah, I like, I'd like us to learn as much as possible about what happened and why there may have been less accountability. And what is the story with those cameras, for God's sake? I mean, that was just, it was, it was, it was an unreal situation. Let's get to the bottom of it. But I don't think it's a useful topic for members of Congress to get involved with. And when they do it, they're, they're, frankly, in my opinion, they are banging the drums for an agenda that has very little to do with real accountability and much, much to do with demagoguery and splitting our political conservative movement.
- [59:33]
Tony Kennett
I think that's, that's a pretty apt point to make again, because it, well, it ties up the bow and, you know, this is a broadcaster having questions answered all the way, at least to the end of the thought, is something that is. We're always chasing. So, Ron Coleman, appreciate the insights, as always. Not just legal, but cultural, kind of a common sense perspective that.
- [59:54]
Ron Coleman
Thank you.
- [59:55]
Tony Kennett
Of course.
- [59:55]
Ron Coleman
Always great to talk to each other.
- [59:57]
Tony Kennett
Yeah, absolutely.
- [59:58]
Ron Coleman
See you at this conference next week.
- [60:01]
Tony Kennett
Oh, don't. Oof. Now, now, now I'm getting excited.
- [60:05]
Ron Coleman
See you later.
- [60:06]
Tony Kennett
Now, just very briefly here, in a little bit of the bonus Tonus section of the show, I was really hoping I would be able to get to the end of kind of the explanation on the Democrats descent into gun grabbing, a kind of social media policing chaos, as they have been doing, because to have individuals like Minneapolis Mayor, you know, Jacob Fry get out there and advocate for going door to door grabbing guns, to have Tim Walls, the Governor of Minnesota, calling for the same thing. Other Democrats around the country suggesting that we, you know, settle for the due process of everyone who isn't an American, while meanwhile praising the arrest of individuals for speech in the United Kingdom. You know, unless you're a Muslim migrant, in which case enjoy the finest selection that UK can provide of its youth. What I, what I am really nervous about is the other end of this particular mode of thinking on the left, where they are willing to exchange freedom for safety. And that boils down to a statement from the Chief of Police from Ontario this afternoon before we went on air, one of the wildest statements from a chief of police that I have ever seen. Because when no one in the country owns guns anymore, when no one in the country has ready access to firearms, when the country itself starts valuing the due process of criminals in the actual practice of committing the crime, then you get some of the worst advice that I have ever seen given to a population. The chief of police for the province of Ontario in Canada. In the unlikely event that you find yourself the victim of a home invasion, we are urging citizens not to take matters into their own hands. While we don't want homeowners to feel powerless, we urge you to call 911 and do everything you can to keep yourself and loved ones safe until police arrive and be the best witness possible. This could mean locking yourself in a room away from the perpetrators, hiding, fleeing the home. But don't engage unless absolutely necessary. But as it stands, we know the best defense for most people is to comply. As you've just heard a number of safety recommendations, the best thing to do of all the choices is to comply with the home invasure with the home invader. Comply. I'm sorry, do you understand the insanity of the chief of police for Ontario telling everyone else that if there is, God forbid, someone who breaks into your home, a home invader, he doesn't just say a thief, he says a home invader, they have broken into your home. The best thing that you should do is comply. Comply, man. Sure, that may mean that you're raped. Sure, that may mean that your family is brutalized and of course, killed, not to mention stolen from. Thank the Lord that I live in the United States of America where the second amendment ensures my rights. State and local governments who defy this be damned, that I, due to my rights, can put as large a caliber hole in any home invader that dares darken my doorstep. I've received this question a couple of times. You know, are we concerned here on the show about an individual perhaps, you know, coming into the studio while we're on the air? Because the things that I have said are not particularly. Well, I mean, the. The mental stability of individuals on certain parts of the opposite side of the aisle has been under national question, justifiably so, over the last couple of weeks and months and years. One of the reasons that I'm not particularly concerned, as I'm not going to pull out from the desk due to certain YouTube constraints, is a series of protective measures that ensure that anyone at all who dares make a stupid decision gets an express ticket to meet our Lord and Savior. So the end of those policies does result in a. An official telling you that because they have refused to disarm the criminals, because criminals can never be truly disarmed. They can't be. Criminals will always be able to obtain things illegally, because that is the nature of criminal enterprise that. Because there's no real deterrent for criminals in this country and other countries, by the way. There's no real deterrent. A timeout in federally funded prison. No, that's not going to be an eternal deterrent for crime. The noose and the whip. Yeah, that's, that's an actual deterrent for crime. But aside, aside from, you know, my actual views on, you know, legal prosecution of crime in countries, the idea at the end of the day, that liberals are more invested, not just in, in Canada, but in the United States, the Western world abroad, of the due process of criminals who are in the middle of committing violent, horrible acts because God forbid, you might actually, you know, shoot the criminal who was likely going to be a doctor or lawyer or discover the cure for cancer or whatever. It's, it's incredible. And by the way, this is in the United States Congress as well. And as Jonah Goldberg, not a friend right now of the Republican Party in any way, shape or form, pointed out, Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton's vice presidential pick, the crazed Dr. Emmett Brown, but with none of the intelligence looking senator from Virginia, decided to get in an argument with Ted Cruz over where rights come from. Because all conservatives, and hopefully Republicans and libertarians would agree that rights come from God. Inherently, it is a right. Human rights, your right to certain things are inherently given to you by your creator. And Tim Kaine for the Democrats in the Senate decided to pick a fight with Ted Cruz over this. I want you to see the clip in the response. I believe it's right down there. Yeah. The notion that rights don't come from.
- [66:18]
Ron Coleman
Laws and don't come from the government, but come from the Creator. That's what the Iranian government believes.
- [66:25]
Tony Kennett
So the statement that our rights do.
- [66:28]
Ron Coleman
Not come from our laws or our.
- [66:30]
Tony Kennett
Governments is extremely troubling. So Senator Kaine said in this hearing that he found it a radical and dangerous notion that you would say our rights came from God and not from government. I just walked into the hearing as.
- [66:49]
Ron Coleman
He was saying that and I almost.
- [66:51]
Tony Kennett
Fell out of my chair. Because that radical and dangerous notion, in his words, is literally the founding principle upon which the United States of America was created.
- [67:05]
Ron Coleman
And if you do not believe me and you made reference to this, Mr.
- [67:08]
Tony Kennett
Barnes, then you can believe perhaps the most prominent.
- [67:15]
Ron Coleman
Virginian to ever serve, Thomas.
- [67:18]
Tony Kennett
Jefferson, who wrote in the Declaration of Independence, we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.
- [67:28]
Ron Coleman
Equal.
- [67:30]
Tony Kennett
And that they are endowed by their Creator, not by government, not by the Democratic National Committee, but by God. As Jonah Goldberg pointed out very accurately going up against Ted Cruz on the constitutional outline, the origin of man's rights is like dealing Ted Cruz four aces and a wild card. That was Jonah Goldberg's app description. He's correct. Because first of all, very stupid thing to tangle with Ted on number two, the Democrats despising of God, suggesting that it is man himself which has granted its. Oh, all of the discipline and all of the, you know, the good behavior comes from this evolutionary ability to understand the well being for the group and the people and that we grant ourselves. Right. Just as we grant you everything else. Nope. That is the same kind of crap that has gotten people over the last century. Millions upon millions upon millions of them slaughtered by the same government that promised to protect it equitably. Absolute nonsense. Now, on. On a slightly lighter note, a couple of weeks ago, I can't. We can't end the show without talking about this. Remember the guy down in Florida in a Chuck E. Cheese costume? Or as I believe you said, is his full name Charles Entertainment Cheese? A very fond memory. Yes, indeed. Was arrested down in Florida and was dragged out in the middle of. When the kids were in Chuck E. Cheese and, you know, the cops went in and arrested him. We didn't have the audio to it. We just had, like, bystander footage from a vast distance. I remember us saying, although I didn't go back and find the audio, I was looking forward to the body camera footage. We have got the body camera footage of Chuck E. Cheese being arrested and the man's indignance at being arrested. And of course, you know, the kids freaking out because they didn't just go in and, like, take the guy's, you know, mask off and then, like, arrest the guy. They arrested Chuck E. Cheese in front of the children's party. One of the greatest body cam footages of all time.
- [69:42]
Ron Coleman
Here you gonna be him in the mouth.
- [69:45]
Tony Kennett
Oh, boy.
- [69:45]
Ron Coleman
Oh, my God. Just ask management who's in the mouth.
- [69:56]
Tony Kennett
Cops are walking in.
- [69:58]
Ron Coleman
We're gonna.
- [69:59]
Tony Kennett
They have entered the Charles Entertainment Cheese. Now, right now, the only crimes that are going on that I can find so far is that it's not the Dingy Child Casino. I remember from my youth. Um, it used to just be, like, a lot darker in kind of a good way. I don't know, maybe kids were smoking cigarettes in the corner. I don't remember. I must have gone to a shady Chuck E. Cheese in Indianapolis. I don't remember it looking as gentrified as it does now. But anywho, so far, cops Are on the scene. Here we go. Suspect located. Do it.
- [70:36]
Ron Coleman
I want you to.
- [70:38]
Tony Kennett
He's like, do you really want me to arrest Chuck E. Cheese in front of all these kids? And the other officer's like, do it.
- [70:44]
Ron Coleman
Go around and ask.
- [70:46]
Tony Kennett
Go around. Yeah, grab him. Get him. Don't resist.
- [71:08]
Ron Coleman
Don't let your.
- [71:09]
Tony Kennett
Don't make us get out the raid. Stand down. Tom is waiting out by the car. Your hands go.
- [71:17]
Ron Coleman
Let your hands go.
- [71:18]
Tony Kennett
The kids. Oh, no.
- [71:22]
Ron Coleman
I got it. I got.
- [71:23]
Tony Kennett
I got wide ones in here. They didn't even take the mittens off. They left the Chuck E. Cheese gloves on him. The only thing I could think throughout this whole process is, what if by the time they get out to take the head off to put him inside the police car? It's a Scooby Doo moment of, oh, no, this is the wrong guy. Red herring. The kids are freaking out. In the background, Chuck E. Cheese is getting. Getting arrested. It's so great. Oh, man. Mom, Mom. They're arresting Chuckles the Cheese. Who's next? Goofy? A bit of context while this continues. This arrest occurred in Florida. The man was charged with credit card.
- [72:31]
Ron Coleman
Fraud and possession of someone's card here.
- [72:34]
Tony Kennett
And he's not using it. Oh, he stole some. He stole a parent's card at the Chuck Cheese and he's been using it. I am unsure if that's exactly what happened, but I'm fairly certain a rat like that willing to do something.
- [72:46]
Ron Coleman
So employee or something like that.
- [72:52]
Tony Kennett
Oh, man.
- [72:52]
Ron Coleman
Yeah, we'll have to get it back.
- [72:57]
Tony Kennett
Now. I. I don't have the footage. Apparently when they got him out to the car, he's like, I'm just a. Trying to do a job. Which is just the worker coming up to him, like, please, can we at least have the suit back? Ain't there no respect? We have three more birthdays. The fine art of grown sweaty men in costumes anymore. I mean, my goodness, I love it. I do. It's really funny. So there you go. The long awaited closure. Chuck Cheese arrested pending trial. Rat traps laid out before the American people. Last but not least on the show this evening. I know that bonus tonus is essentially starting to stretch into just another half hour of show. Producer Daniel is very unhappy because that is going to throw off the data. We're talking a straight up Tom Brady chucking of the ball as far as throwing the data is concerned. But I can't help it because Jasmine Crockett's opened her mouth again. How am I supposed to go without covering Jasmine Crockett? Nicholas, A Staple of the show. A staple of the show. Ladies and gentlemen, yet another episode of the brilliant, wise wisdom of Representative Jasmine Crockett. I didn't have the right clip. My clip that is loading. This has gotten me just kicked right in the teeth.
- [74:15]
Jasmine Crockett
Make no mistake, Trump is weaponizing his idea of free speech to force folks and companies to become his political puppets to promote his propaganda.
- [74:25]
Tony Kennett
Trump is forcing. Wait, Trump is weaponizing free speech, which is number one. Incredible. To force companies to do something specifically. I love that she's complaining, by the way, that CBS was not allowed to engage in the FCC's definition of election interference. By the way, the FCC staff that made that particular, you know, discerning opinion there was under Joe Biden. That was his FCC that made that particular, I wouldn't say ruling. It was more of a clarification of the rules, a glance per se.
- [75:06]
Jasmine Crockett
Trump and Republicans defunded NPR because they argued it was biased. Trump has removed books discussing racial discrimination at US Military academies.
- [75:19]
Tony Kennett
I'm sorry, I've actually seen some of the books in person that were removed at places like West Point and yeah, no Love Law. Not racial discriminant. Not like a history of racial discrimination in Jefferson Library getting scooped away and chucked into the Hudson. Not happening whatsoever. What, in what manner is he manipulating free speech to have these actions carried out is my question. Well, you see, she's gonna get to that. And, and by get to that, I mean she's already mid lecture, man, you just gotta let her go.
- [75:51]
Jasmine Crockett
Including the amazing Maya Angelou's autobiography, I Know why the Caged Bird Sings. He's.
- [76:01]
Tony Kennett
That's a garbage book, by the way. I'm sorry, Maya Angelou's book is not good. I, I, it's just not, it's not good. I know why the Caged Bird Sings. It's not a literary work that is is really any worse. I mean, seriously, I would rather again, and I've read a serious collection. I have read half of the books that are present in the little Crispus Attucks library regarding the civil rights movement in Indianapolis. One of my sub theses at Ball State University was covering this issue in particular. But I'm sorry, I would rather read John Green's weird fetish with girls that have cancer and those books than I would read anything by Maya Angelou, who was beyond obsessed with herself try to.
- [76:43]
Jasmine Crockett
Strip funding to schools across the country if they don't remove materials that include discussions of racial discrimination or that promote diversity. And in order for the merger between Paramount and Skydance to happen. The FCC chairman and Republican appointed commissioners required Skydance to establish a bias monitor.
- [77:05]
Tony Kennett
And in its that's also not true, by the way. We reached out to renew Car's office. That's not they have to abide by the law. And they were encouraged to keep an eye on bias regarding election interference. They have been caught on CBS again, has been caught via 60 minutes or on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan. Editing, maliciously editing. By the way, malicious editing doesn't mean they had a frown on their face when they did it. Maliciously means you intentionally edited with the purpose of changing the outcome of the system to which you were editing something. That's what malicious editing is. So when they edited Joe Biden to make him look awake, when they edited Kamala Harris to make her look coherent, and when they ed Kristi Noem last week to hide things that the Department of Homeland Security in official statements was releasing about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, that's interference. That is not allowed. You can't do that. You're on FCC regulated air. During the main part of the show, there are things that I cannot say. And honestly, because this is a continuation, even when we are off the radio or the TV air, I am still required to follow FCC rules or I get fined. If I start rapping Coolio's Gangster paradise, which is an excellent song. That's the slide, slide, slippity slide. 1. Just for those of you out there who may not know the earlier hip hop scene, if I started wrapping that with the freshest of original language, I would get fined by the fcc. You have to play by the rules. But Crockett doesn't read because she's illiterate.
- [78:31]
Jasmine Crockett
FCC order noted reports, quote, concerning negative media coverage of the Trump administration. This is to say nothing of Trump. Trump pushing television networks to get rid of comedians and talk show hosts.
- [78:44]
Tony Kennett
Show me examples, honey.
- [78:45]
Jasmine Crockett
Who criticized his administration, say, like Mr. Colbert.
- [78:50]
Tony Kennett
Ah, Stephen Colbert. Ah, yes. I love it when an administration is so aggressively ready to censor. Again, a comedian who sent out mean tweets about if a guy steps into the girl's bathroom and won't leave, punch him in the balls. That was sent by a British comedian. The second he landed at Heathrow in London. He was arrested. The second he landed in London, five police officers, armed, showed up and arrested him and put him in a holding facility. Colbert, supposedly pressured by the fascist Trump administration, was given an expiry of 10 months. His show still on now.
- [79:30]
Ron Coleman
Hmm.
- [79:31]
Tony Kennett
Yes. Such. Yes, yes. Very, very wise.
- [79:33]
Jasmine Crockett
Jasmine Crockett let's call this what it is. It's Trump weaponizing the ide of free speech to force people, institutions and companies to be his mouthpieces.
- [79:46]
Tony Kennett
Then that's not weaponizing free speech, is it? Honey, sweetie, baby, darling, Ma'. Am, Free speech is the idea that you and I have the right to say whatever it is without in that we want to say without directly inciting violence. Additionally, the First Amendment means that Congress shall make no law or inhibition for the practicing of one's religion. Also the freedom to assemble. Nothing at all the Trump administration has done, again, at all. Just upholding FCC regulations regarding election interference. That's not a free speech or First Amendment thing. Even they don't make that particular case. Is wild, wild stuff. Wild stuff.
- [80:34]
Jasmine Crockett
This ain't Free speech is propaganda. Meanwhile, my Republican colleagues are out here having a meltdown over the European bill, one that by way, by the way, includes provisions to fight child trafficking.
- [80:46]
Tony Kennett
There it is. There it is. The Democrats. I swear I haven't watched this clip all the way through. I only watched about a minute in before the show. I knew we would get here. I knew she would have to endorse it. As I said at the very beginning of the show, we've come full circle. Called the geometry teacher. It's a perfect circle. No compass needed to draw it out. Beautiful stuff, Jasmine. I guess that'd be a protractor to draw a circle, not a compass.
- [81:11]
Ron Coleman
Yeah.
- [81:12]
Tony Kennett
Thank you. Jasmine Crockett, representative of Dallas, a major leader now apparently in the Democrat Party, has joined people like Tim Kaine, has joined people like Jacob Frey, has joined Tim Walls, JB Pritzker in suggesting that Americans rights need to be squashed by endorsing the very laws of that lead to people being arrested for speech. The Europeans don't like arrested. If you, oh, no, you shot someone invading your home to rape and kill your family, this is exactly where they end up. It is wild to watch the Democrats do this so close to an election again, when you are less than 14 months away from an election. We are three days and 14 months again. The New York City and the Virginia gubernatorial elections are getting real close. It is wild to play these kind of games. Wild.
- [82:05]
Jasmine Crockett
You know, it's frustrating because we talk about being fiscally responsible and we talk about free speech. And right now, as we're having these discussions, you know who's trying to shut down members from voting in the way that they want to vote?
- [82:17]
Tony Kennett
Chuck E. Cheese.
- [82:18]
Jasmine Crockett
The president, who literally said he would look at anyone who decided that they were going to vote to release the Epstein files as hostile. That sounds like a threat as it relates to all First Amendment protections. In addition to the fact that it's literally contravening our constitutional.
- [82:39]
Tony Kennett
Not what the word contravening means, duty.
- [82:41]
Jasmine Crockett
That we swore an oath to. Because we don't swear to an orange king. Instead, we have sworn an oath to the Constitution and we were elected to represent the people that elected us. Thank you so much. And I.
- [82:52]
Tony Kennett
Okay, so as a quick note here regarding the broad release of files. Yeah. I'm sorry. You cannot release files to the American people that disclose private information on a crime committed against the individual. It's just not legal. I'm sorry. Would I like the information to be released enough so that we could have full closure on this? Absolutely, I would. You cannot screw over people in the process. I'm sorry, you just can't do that. You can't. That's why there are entire court shows about people going through the difficult process of weaving around certain privacy statutes to get the guy without releasing information that is damaging. And I hope you noticed, that was her accent she debuted today. Totally different from either of the two accents that she had going again, the original Jasmine Crockett accent we were talking about just a couple days ago here, she had on the super ultra accent, which she wasn't using in Congress.
- [83:49]
Jasmine Crockett
A reminder maybe, because these people, they are crazy because they always talk about how Christian they is. Yeah. I don't know how many of them on that side are getting divorced because they getting caught up sleeping with their co workers, staffers, interns, all the things. Yeah, you ain't gotta believe me. Just go Google. You'll find some of it. I'm telling you, in the wild lives is being messy and petty. They putting it in the divorce. I'm like, oh, that's got to be true because your lawyer would know that they gonna lose it if they.
- [84:17]
Tony Kennett
I finally remind. I finally found out. Or I remembered where this accent actually comes from. It's Chris Tucker in Rush Hour. Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? That's where this. Again, totally different from her lecture in Congress today.
- [84:32]
Jasmine Crockett
Make no mistake, Trump is weaponizing his idea of free speech to force folks and companies to become his political puppets.
- [84:39]
Tony Kennett
By the way, you notice the accent drops when she's reading something she actually has to read. She's dropping the accent because it's not even a real accent that she grew up speaking. And it's the same accent when she's reading something that she didn't have memorized as as when she was talking about running for Congress again.
- [84:56]
Jasmine Crockett
I was good to see you in the new year. You know, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin.
- [85:04]
Tony Kennett
See, I love it. I again every day I get another beautiful dose of this stuff. Well, I have producers now that are messaging me. Producer Daniel Nick is is sitting here looking at the studio clock like a dog waiting for a walk. So those things all said, I appreciate your keeping me on on the straight and narrow. I just can't help sharing a few extra clips with those over on the live stream. That all said, really appreciate all of y'.
- [85:28]
Ron Coleman
All.
- [85:29]
Tony Kennett
Thanks to producers Nick, Daniel, Lou and Allison for their excellent work today. Stellar stuff y'. All for tuning in, this is the Tony Kinnickast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated, first on 93 WIBC. We'll be back tomorrow at 7pm Take care.
