Tony Kennett
Let's get down to business. You're listening to the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WIBC on CYTV, here on the Daily Signal. Good evening and welcome to the Tony Kennett cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated, first on 93 WIBC. Lots to talk about because while I was out sick, the world was changing yet again due to the incredible visionary leadership of this Trump administration. This man has accomplished more on the foreign policy front than any president I can think of. At a diplomatic angle since Teddy Roosevelt. Yes, at a diplomatic angle again, Reagan did some excellent stuff on the foreign policy side of things. I think that you can make some excellent arguments related to John F. Kennedy's stalwart face in the Cuban missile crisis. But when it comes to consistent accomplishments that have maintained and exceeded measured goals in favor of the United States and prevented billions, and I want to make that clear, billions with a B, a bravo. Billions in loss of life potential, the Trump administration is second to to none. Israel and Hamas now added to the list of accomplishments. Israel and Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, India and Pakistan. Guys, there are over a billion, I think a billion and a half people at this point that are living in India itself. By rough estimates, India and Pakistan. More. I'm getting the arrow pointing up from producer Nick far more. They are both nuclear powers. Nukes do not stay in in borders. They are surrounded by some of the most populous regions on planet Earth beside from being the most populous regions on planet Earth. And in addition, may I say that when you had the rocketry crews that were starting to get active, 1.46 billion. Thank you, producer Nick. When they are starting to get active in the middle of an escalating war, the Trump team swoops in and stops that war. India and Pakistan is huge and yes, Nobel Prize worthy alone. Cambodia and Thailand again right on the cusp of major, major economic pivot points for the entire globe. Serbia and Kosovo, Egypt and Ethiopia, of course, cleaning up Washington, D.C. not to mention Russia not making serious territorial gains during any time Trump has been in office. De escalated tensions with North Korea, pressuring Panama to pull out of Panama's deal with the China Organization, the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative, specifically to stop the hegemon against the United States in its tracks. This is without a doubt one of the most crucial foreign policy administrations of my lifetime. Of your lifetime. It is in fact Wholly unusual. Now, let's get right to it. President Trump, of course, as all of us know, was welcomed for the brokerage of the largest Middle Eastern peace agreement in history. Today, President Trump showed up to the nesset and got quite the standing ovation. He's welcomed by the speaker of the House, who I just met a couple of weeks ago. Very, very nice guy, not always the most jovial of men. And you can see here he is as giddy as a school child and so he should be. And I see Donald J. Trump. You hear members of the left and the right of the Israeli Parliament, except for two Arab individuals who eventually caused a disturbance and were thrown out because they essentially pulled a George Bush shoe maneuver, but more cowardly. But the left and right members of the Israeli parliament began chanting Trump over and over and over. There's the prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and you can just see him having a good time. He has absolutely earned it. Now, moving right along through, Trump praised the Israeli resolve. When I was in Israel again a couple of weeks ago, I noticed some really, really good things and some really, really bad things from the Israeli government. Nothing that I would say is horrifically bad from, from, from the people in the kibbutz right up close to Gaza. Some incredible things that Trump notes here, as well as, of course, the disaster in the countries surrounding Israel, in Syria as well as the UN here's President Trump accurately, correctly praising the Israel since October 7th and since their founding.
- [05:12]
The story of fierce Israeli resolve and triumph since October 7th should be proof to the entire world that those who seek to destroy this nation are doomed to bitter failure. The state of Israel is strong and it will live and thrive forever.
- [05:35]
Now, what you couldn't see in that moment, and I saw because I, well, I can say as a former friend of the show and a former governor, excuse me, current friend of the show, former governor, now ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, was grinning ear to ear to hear Scripture once again upheld and cited by the President of the United States is a wonderful and excellent thing. And by the way, to be clear, he cites one of my personal favorites from Psalm and a kind of a mainstay verse that is oft repeated, though, you know, not in the KJV over in Israel.
- [06:13]
The God who once dwelled among his people in this city still calls us, in the words of scripture, the turn from evil and do good to seek peace and pursue it.
- [06:25]
So correct Again, that's Psalm 34:14, right on point. Then we get to the kind of the nitty or grittier, by the way. I'm sorry, I'm moving through some of this stuff so quickly. There's just that much news to cover. President Trump accurately throws a major hook shot, a beautiful windmill slap of humiliation towards the establishment. He goes after Biden, he goes after president, former President Biden, Barack Obama, and then gets to Hillary Clinton. And this is one of the biggest slaps, because not only does Trump throw a slap to Hillary Clinton with this maneuver, but the entire establishment class that warned Trump was going to bring world war catastrophe and all of the evils that could be fathomed. Here's Trump claiming again a well deserved victory lap over Hillary and the establishment crew.
- [07:18]
Good to say it, but when you settle eight wars in eight months, that means you don't like war. Everyone thought I was going to be brutal. In fact, I remember Hillary Clinton during a debate, she said, look at him, look at him. He's going to go to war with everyone, everybody. And actually, she said, he's got a personality that's all about war. No, my personality actually is all about stopping wars. And it seems to work.
- [07:47]
Now, I do want to make this clear because there are some who are crying, you know, consistently bending over in tears at this and kind of the horseshoe, kind of the very far to the right, but also the very pro Hamas left who are upset. They said, well, Trump's, he's still a puppet. He did this because that's what Netanyahu wanted him to do. He. You can't play this game. You can't play this game. I was told this was going to be greater Israel and they were going to sweep through Gaza and kill everyone everywhere, and they were going to take the west bank, which Trump told them not to do, and then they were going to stretch and it was going to be this massive Jewish ultra move here. Uh, no, the other way. By the way, you can tell Trump's not controlled by anybody. Anyone writing this speech for him would not have said, I'm not a guy who likes war, I'm a stopper of wars. He would have said, I'm not a guy who likes war, I'm a guy of peace. They like where I like peace. There. There would have been a better cadence. Trump is going off the hip here because we had the speech beforehand. Yeah, I was kind of, you know, bent over in pain from the flu while I was reading his speech before he gave it. But he did deviate and made it clear what his goals were very well ahead of time. And these are only foreign policy aims that could have come from the Trump administration to work.
- [09:07]
But it also means this name change and our attitude that we're not going to go into a war, but if we do, we're going to win that war like nobody has ever won a war before. We will not be politically correct, but we're not going to be there. And I think, you know, as you.
- [09:25]
Mentioned, that's a huge thing. So Trump, to start off saying Hillary Clinton said I was going to be Mr. Super Warmonger, didn't happen. But if we do go to war, we're going to fight and we're going to win. That is not only a slap to the Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton sphere, the Obama kind of pseudo radical give everything everyone everything they want sphere, the Susan Rice style of politics, but it also crucially, crucially is a slap towards the nation building. Soft handed, everyone just wants to love and get along so just give them jobs in industry kind of George Bush Ian foreign policy. That was a massive, massive failure. We're going to talk about how radio crew got to send you to commercial. We're going to continue on the live stream. It's the Tony Kenneth cast now. Trump is correct. Hillary Clinton absolutely predicted that Donald Trump was going to be super warmonger extraordinaire.
- [10:20]
Lindsey Graham
As a quick refresher and like many across our country and around the world, I believe the person the Republicans have nominated for president cannot do the job. Donald Trump's ideas aren't just different, they are dangerously incoherent. They're not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies. He is not just unprepared, he is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility.
- [11:18]
Tony Kennett
This from the lady who did absolutely nothing when the North Koreans sunk the South Korean Chenoon killing 11 or of course the US lives lost in Benghazi for the Secretary of State at the time, Hillary Obama's golden girl for Bill, the saxophone pervert. To get out here and make those claims was wild at the time. It was the establishment's last gasp at trying to claim that you had to do the establishment maneuver, whether from the left or the right or you'd have ultimate war.
- [11:50]
Lindsey Graham
This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes because it's not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.
- [12:06]
Tony Kennett
Well, for that very thin skin, so called. It has brought hostages home, it has avoided three separate nuclear wars and now has Hamas in the city streets of Gaza fighting amongst different factions. The radical Islamic world is thrown back on its heels and its supporters in the United States have absolutely nothing to grasp onto. By the way, Trump made some promises during his campaigns as well. You may remember this one from 23 and 24.
- [12:35]
Tonight we send our love to every innocent soul who remains in Hamas captivity. You just are not going to stand for it. Not going to take it. We're not going to take it any longer. We pray that through the darkness they know that we have not forgotten them, that we have not forsake, forsaken. Then we will never forsake them and we will never abandon them. And with God's help, they will come safely home. And it will be soon. We hope it will be very soon.
- [13:07]
Yep, and it was. All of the living hostages have now been returned home. Thank God in heaven. It is a masterclass, a masterclass in diplomacy. He has single handedly managed to bring together the three primary factions of the gop, those being the populists that are somewhat kind of isolationy. He has brought together the traditional conservatives, kind of the Mike Pence conservative Christian brand, as well as more of the establishmentarian corps who has now joined in lockstep with the Trump administration. There are elements of those three factions in multiple places in his administration. It has never, we've never seen a coalition built like this. I haven't in my lifetime. I'm told that the Reagan coalition was a lot like this. It is incredible, of course, the world leaders, to see all of them standing together was, is unreal. You don't see the senior leadership of Egypt, of Qatar, of Israel, of the United States, of Western nations, of Eastern nations standing together for a major conference like this. It's incredible. It's incredible. I'm at a loss for words. And the news is now what some might consider kind of old. Now we do have to bring the radio crew back from commercial and actually get up to today. What happened at the signing, of course, Keir Starmer, some questions about some pardoning calls. And then of course, FBI's major antifa investigation. Don't go anywhere. Gotta bring the radio crew back from commercial. It's the Tony Kennett cast. You're listening to the Tony Kenneth cast on 93 WYPC. I thought a little once in a lifetime was rather appropriate because what we are seeing right now, when the President of the United States, Donald Trump, can get in front of the world leaders and effectively lead in a way that Biden never could, in a way that Obama never could, in a way that Bush absolutely never Could Bill Clinton, his complete failure in foreign policy through his administration, even George H.W. bush did not have the fortitude to finish off Saddam Hussein. President Trump has effectively gathered all of Western Europe and the Middle Eastern countries by the cojones and is leading them around to the point where, again, the Dutch head of NATO has called him Daddy. It's, it's, it's unilaterally unbelievable. Here's President Trump today in Egypt this couple of hours ago.
- [15:50]
This is the day that people across the region and around the world have been working, striving, hoping and praying for. They have done things over the last month that I think were really unthinkable. Nobody thought this could happen. With the historic agreement we've just signed, those prayers of millions have finally been answered. As you know, the hostages have been returned and further work goes on having to do with the, sadly to say, bodies together. We've achieved what everybody said was impossible. At long last, we have peace in the Middle East. And it's a very simple expression, peace in the Middle east. And we've heard it for many years, but nobody thought it could ever get there. And now we're there.
- [16:39]
It is, it is truly something to behold. Now, there are a couple of extra points here that we gotta talk about. First of all, did Trump just come in and say, hey, you know what? Everyone just stop fighting, put down your guns, and we're all just gonna walk away and grin? No, that's not what occurred here, by the way. There were those. And this is when I, when we get to the criticisms of the certain members of the Israeli government who were suggesting they were willing to make any deal at all. Understandably, I, I, I cannot imagine I will never be able to comprehend the brutal horror that they felt watching their loved ones ripped away and tortured on camera day by day. I can't imagine it. There were some who made the calculation and the desire. Many on the left side of the aisle, make any deal possible, just get the hostages home, even if that means leaving Hamas in power in the Gaza Strip. This is unacceptable. And President Trump makes it clear that Gaza is not going to be allowed to be militarized in any way, shape or form whatsoever.
- [17:39]
We've all agreed that supporting Gaza must be done to lift up the people themselves. But we don't want to fund anything having to do with bloodshed, hatred or terror, as has happened in the past. And for the same reason, we're also agreed that Gaza's reconstruction requires that it be demilitarized and that a new honest civilian police Force must be allowed to create a safe condition for the people in Gaza.
- [18:09]
Now here's why that's genuinely kind of within reach. I didn't believe that was within reach until about 16 hours ago. 16 hours ago, news reached our desk of a series of fights that have broken out now intra Gaza Hamas. Members of different family clans inside Hamas as well as several kind of pseudo Palestinian Authority style groups are basically pulling what we like to call your average weekend in Chicago. They're killing each other with the hopes of being the last one standing so that they can then put their guns down and be a civilian administration. Now, did you notice President Trump never said the United Nations? Good. I've seen the United nations, several of their delegations, their observation and action groups in the Middle East. I have seen entirely left footed toddler Boy Scout troops with more coordination and military acumen than any United nations unit whatsoever. Now Vice President J.D. vance has made it clear there will not be any additional boots on the ground from US Troops in the Gaza region, in the west bank, in Israel. We don't have time to play those clips at the moment. We'll get back in a little bit to Secretary of State Marco Rubio who also has achieved incredible success as a secretary of state. I've said it when he was appointed and a lot or nominated, excuse me, people said, oh, he's a neocon, that Marco Rubio. He's going to get us into wars. He's a squishy flip flop and I don't like him. I said he was one of the best picks ever, ever. And here we are yet again. Marco Rubio is a stellar man in the Trump administration. But I digress. We'll get back to Rubio in a bit because the world leaders at the conference, none of them got up and started doing what we'll see from the Democrats here in a couple of moments. None of the preening. It was all praise to where it is due the State Department and the Trump administration. Here is the president of Pakistan who by the way at the moment is currently fighting the Taliban, is rising up against the Pakistani government. Sorry, I had to look over to producer Nick to make sure that fight is still ongoing. There is a lot of reason in the liberal world one might say Trump kicked up a fight between the Taliban and the Pakistanis. He hasn't. Here's the leader of Pakistan claiming that Trump deserves the Nobel Prize yet again.
- [20:39]
President of Pakistan
For his outstanding extraordinary contributions to first stop war between India and Pakistan and then achieve ceasefire along with his very wonderful team. And today again I would like to nominate this great president for Nobel Peace Prize because I genuinely feel that he is the most genuine and most wonderful candidate for Peace Prize because he has brought not only peace in South Asia, saved millions of people their lives, and today, here in Sharm El Sheikh, achieving peace in Gaza is saving millions of lives in the Middle East.
- [21:46]
Tony Kennett
He just starts listing again when you have world leaders that have a better memory than the BBC or msnbc, whose hosts today, by the way, even had to on msnbc. BBC zoned by, I don't know, some mosque over in Qatar. But as far as the rest of the media enterprises in the United States, even the Washington Post and Times running around praising the President of the United States. Then, of course, here's the President of Egypt making it clear that Donald Trump, this is the only way this could have happened. Now we bring over to the rest of the world leaders, because then things get a little interesting. We're going to talk about the Nobel Prize in a second. So Keir Starmer, who you may recall is, along with the Canadians, and that being Mark Carney, and then the French under Emmanuel Macron, I can't currently mention France's Prime Minister because they have none. Like, the 38th government of France has fallen. Uh, but Keir Starmer, his grand strategy, you know, while there are people, you know, being kind of raped in mosque and London, in southern England, his plan was to just recognize Palestine. Presto.
- [23:05]
Oxford Student/Activist
Wow.
- [23:06]
Tony Kennett
It'll. It'll fix everything. Uh, he, I guess, decided he was going to get up and speak. Trump calls him forward, and then Trump just shoves him right out. Probably one of the better owns on the international stage of just blatant backhand slapping I've seen in a very long time. If you're watching, I'll try to describe it, but here you go.
- [23:31]
Where's United Kingdom? Where's my friend?
- [23:35]
So he calls for Kier. Sorry, I should have said. If you're listening, I'll try to describe it. He calls for Kier. Kir just looks bashful, like Winnie the Pooh being told, there's honey nearby. Oh, boy. And Trump kind of gestures to him.
- [23:48]
Come here. Is everything going good?
- [23:51]
He says, come here. Everything going good.
- [23:54]
That's very nice that you're here. These people all came and, like, now.
- [23:59]
He steps just in front, says, hey, how you doing? You doing good? Kir, I guess, thinks he's going to speak or say a few words. Trump just, whoop, 20, 20 minute notice.
- [24:08]
And I think it's fantastic. And we have so many others and.
- [24:11]
Just look how embarrassed he is. You can see in the get bent here. All right, radio crew, we got to send you to commercial. We'll be continuing on the livestream. It's the Tony Kenneth cast.
- [24:25]
Producer Nick
Producer Nick, My theory continues to be correct. Every time an international individual has a negative experience with Trump, their shoulders slump and their hands go together.
- [24:36]
Tony Kennett
Oh, you're one of those, those body, one of those body language analysts. One of those people like the green lines. I hear you, I hear handshake.
- [24:45]
Producer Nick
It's strong.
- [24:46]
Tony Kennett
Now this brings us to the Nobel Committee out of Norway. So there are a couple of narratives that are running around. People are very aggravated that President Trump was not given the Nobel Peace Prize this year. So the couple of things to note. First of all, the prize did go to Maria Corina. She is a Venezuela pro democracy activist. And we'll talk about her in in a second. Number two, there is an argument. Well, you know, the, the deadline for the, the submission for this year's peace prizes, that's in January. So I mean, we didn't know Trump was gonna do any of this stuff before then. Oh, okay. Couple of things. Number one, the deadline to submit nominees is in January. The deadline to like, for the committee to decide that happens until the awards are given. There have been several last minute award changes over the last couple of decades from the peace category all the way to minor categories like medicine and chemistry and I believe biotechnology. There's one that's like biotechnology. And then there's of course, the Nobel Prize in physics was famously granted to Einstein. His second Nobel Prize in physics was granted as a last minute flip, so they didn't end up giving it to a German. So there have been quite a few last minute flips. I do absolutely believe that they decided on purpose not to give the president the Nobel Peace Prize. Based on the evidence, India and Pakistan alone should have been enough for a Nobel Peace Prize. But I've already, I've already described that physiology or medicine. Thank you, producer Nick. I had a hunch. So this brings us to the actual winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Maria Corina. Barry Weiss over at the Free Press, soon to be at CBS News. She sat down and interviewed Maria Corina over the award of the peace prize. And Maria's response is, well, you dedicated your Nobel Peace Prize to President Trump. I want you to explain why I dedicated this prize to the people of Venezuela and to President Trump because I think he deserves it. I think it's fair. He's the main supporter of this fight against this narco terrorist cartel. Now, wait a minute here, wait a minute here. Are we admitting kind of on the international stage now, that the United States strong stance against Venezuela, narco terror and human trafficking rings, that that's actually a good thing? Yeah. Yes, we are. The international community and its group of academics can try to preen and clutch pearls and wine and mule all that they want. They can, you know, make little videos like the group of students over at Oxford about how they're still going to support Hamas because they're going to put the zios in the ground. Here was the Oxford future generation of.
- [27:54]
Oxford Student/Activist
Leaders upright, a steadfast and a noble resistance in Palestine and in Gaza to look to, to be inspired by. And I don't want to yap for too long, but a chant that we've been workshopping in Oxford that maybe you guys want to join in.
- [28:10]
Tony Kennett
So he's. They've been workshopping a chant like beat poets. They've been in the lab, the Oxford lab, about this one.
- [28:16]
Oxford Student/Activist
It goes Gaza, Gaza, make us proud. Put the zyos in the ground.
- [28:26]
Tony Kennett
I'll see. There you go. They've been workshopping that one for, for months. Oh, he's also doing the, the okay. Or I guess the Washington Post says it's a white power gesture or something. These poor fools, they were working on that one for months. So the international community of academics, they're still fighting strong over on the left side of things. Boy, they are giving it their darndest. Now we're gonna have to swing over and bring the radio crew back from commercial. When we get to the broader reaction from Americans as well as, you know, the crimes, it gets interesting. Tony Kennett cast will be back in a second. This is the Tony Kenneth cast on 93 WIBC. Oh, there's so much news in so a little time. Welcome back to the Tony Kennett Cast Radio crew. The reactions from the most important people in this entire situation, the hostages at the hands of Hamas, these are heartbreaking. They're incredible. There have been several amazing compilations that have been put together. I just want to point out Trump did meet with some of the hostages and their families, kind of a round table while he was in Israel. And what one of the hostages said is just, absolutely, is absolutely worth playing along with.
- [29:49]
Former Hostage
My friends, which were all murdered. One of them is still held. His body is still held in Gaza. Later on, I was taken captive for 498 days, leaving my wife with just two girls up to them. She was pregnant in the bomb shelter for the whole period of time. What I thought is that they were all murdered as well. She later on gave birth and I got my life back thanks to you and your staff. I came back here, met my baby girl when she was already 14 months.
- [30:23]
Producer Nick
Old.
- [30:25]
Former Hostage
And now life is full.
- [30:32]
Tony Kennett
Because of this administration. Fathers are returning home to their children. And I agree, it is entirely. His life is entirely indebted to the Trump administration, not as a measure of looking at the debt, but as a measure of the accomplishment of a debt that has, in fact, been carried over from one account to another. It's truly incredible, of course, this all over the legacy media as well over on cnn.
- [31:01]
Oxford Student/Activist
Well, I think President Trump needs to know that we really thank him. And it was hard for us to thank, say it in advance because we couldn't really believe that was true. 20 hostages are actually coming. All of them are alive, all of them look good. And the fact that he made it, he promised and he kept his word, and hostages are here is just amazing. And we want to thank him for that.
- [31:24]
Tony Kennett
This is why there's a village, a kibbutz named after Trump in Israel. Now, I do want to get to the broader, kind of, the broader reaction here. So first of all, Bill Clinton and several, I should say, far too few Democrat past and present politicians have released statements congratulating the Trump administration. Appropriate. Uh, you've had several media outlets, Time magazine, of course, put forward a kind of questionable angle. I've always had an issue with kind of the, the Time and Getty, kind of the corporate press, photographers. The angles that they use is kind of kind of a weird photo, but again, his triumph kind of a photo. And then we get to a large portion of the Democrats who are in a right state. You will recall that when the President of the United States began his term, he gave kind of a State of the Union style address and he said, I could cure cancer. And these people would not stand up and clap. They would not say any word of thanks. The point he was illustrating is that though there are many among you who call for bipartisanship, they are liars. They don't want bipartisanship. They don't want anything to do with working together. They don't want to compromise anything. Of course, we're in the middle of, of the government shutdown. Democrats still refuse to vote in favor of the Clean continuing resolution. We're going to get to that as well. There are Democrat officials all over the country who have bended over backwards. We're talking mental gymnastics that are beyond Olympic worthy to try to describe their pleasure at the Israeli Hamas war ending to, I guess, simp for the Jewish voters in their district without honoring the Trump administration whatsoever. Producer Nick, you're shaking your head no.
- [33:08]
Producer Nick
It is just. It's truly morally reprehensible to not be supportive of the release of prisoners of war.
- [33:15]
Tony Kennett
Well, I agree. They seem to kind of be trying to tread the line here. Elizabeth Warren, who JD Vance, said the Trump administration had organized this deal on Indigenous People's Day just for her. So Chief Warren says, for two excruciating years, I've called for the return of hostages. Brutally kidnapped on October 7th and held in Gaza. Today's a good day. Surviving Israeli hostages are finally home and reuniting with loved ones. I'm thinking of them. Blah, blah, blah. She doesn't actually say anything at all about the actions taken to get these people home. Abigail Spanberger, Democrat for Virginia. Governor Kathy Hochul of New York. Senator Richard Blumenthal. Senator Chris Coons. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Nancy Pelosi. Mark Warner. Sri Tanadar. Representative Eric Swalwell. There's just a couple crowd of whining, sniveling, crow eating fools. Jasmine Crockett. Raising hell at home and then pretending to be the President of peace is diabolical. Sorry, I. It's hard to know which accent to mimic since she has so many. Uh, so Gavin Newsoms is probably one of the saddest. Uh, he, he tweeted out because there was a video of President Trump climbing up the stairs to Air Force One. Not falling up the stairs, by the way, but there was some wind and some rain and so the umbrella was like bowing in on the President a little bit. And apparently, I guess this is Trump's fault. I don't, I don't know what their claim is that he didn't, what, pay the Jews enough to change the weather to a sunny day. Anyway, so the President's walking up Air Force One, the umbrella is kind of collapsing. Aaron Rupar says Trump gets some help closing his umbrella while boarding Air Force One. Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, Chief of the opposition. Other than J.B. pritzker, Hefferson Davis, uh, he tweets out, quote, the only thing that Donald Trump can keep open these days is an umbrella. Get it? Cuz of the shutdown. That's so funny. Uh, believe it or not, the person who clocks the Democrats in the teeth for this, the best. Senator John Fetterman, or as we call him continually, Senator Betterman of Pennsylvania on Fox Business saying, guys, it's a pretty big disgrace that you can't even just accept reality on its face.

Guest Commentator
Absolute elation. I mean, how can we all celebrate this thing? I mean, you've had human beings held underground for over two years and tortured and beaten and starved, forced to dig their own graves and things. Now they can finally come back home. And now everyone, everyone should be celebrating these things. And clearly the Palestinians are and people in Israel are too. And now there are people in our nation, you know, some of those aren't really celebrating or even acknowledging a thing. And that, that's part of the truth there too. It really was never about, about peace. It was more about an anti Israel agenda. And now why can't we all. Whatever where you are politically, this is a huge development and this terrible, awful war is going to come to an end.

Now, I remember saying very clearly on C Span in a debate last year in the heat of the election cycle, there were a couple of things that I approved that Joe Biden or his auto pen or his handlers or Jill or whoever was working the marionette strings, I said there were a couple of things he did that I approved of, that I appreciated, I thought were good moves that a president absolutely should do. There were very few of them. But again, if you can't recognize objectively when some things are good and some things are bad, then you are as mentally cracked in half as we're gonna have to find a new category. Just everyone with Trump derangement syndrome is struggling mightily. Now this does bring us over to the lawbreakers because the pearl clutching, the squealing, the angry, they're all once again morphing into some kind of pseudo blob of a protest over in Portland over the weekend. There was a major protest for something. It was kind of a combined protest against Israel, against ice, pro antifa. And they decided to protest in the best way the left knows how, with their idea of sex and their idea of political action. So their idea of political action is blocking the roads because again, that's the only thing the left believes that political protest is, other than, you know, burning down cities and calling it peaceful. Kind of like Tacitus for the kid who didn't make it out of second grade, you know. Yeah, a little, little historical joke there. But the sex part of the protest, they all got naked, varying degrees of naked, on a bicycle. I'm amazed that we didn't come into this segment with Queen's song Bicycle, considering how very appropriate that would have been. This is taken from a distance, so we probably aren't going to get taken down for this. But behold the fat, angry, naked protesting bodies of Portland, Oregon. Are you disgusted yet now? I was kind of hoping that they would try this with, like, on some train tracks instead of a highway. I wasn't that lucky. But then again, I think that Amtrak has stopped using cow catchers on the front of locomotives. Radio crew, we got to send you to commercial. We're going to continue on the livestream. It's the Tony Kenned cast. Producer Nick.
- [38:50]
Producer Nick
They get absurdly fat to slow down the cars better. But also so that it's just completely painful to see them naked.
- [38:57]
Tony Kennett
It is completely painful. There's a lot of clips of this, most of which I'm not going to download, and three of which I needed a shower after watching. Yikes, as they say. Of course, if you're looking for any of them to talk to, I'm sure you can find them in any Portland library reading to children on Monday morning. Uh, so that said, this brings us to Leticia James. We'll get back to the Antifa crew in a bit because they were also protesting Letitia James being indicted on multiple counts of bank fraud. Um, a very hearty congratulations to Leticia. Now, I've said for quite a while that if you're going to commit a crime and then you're going to say, if you go after me for this crime, it's political prosecution. Going after someone for the most documented crimes or committing the most documented crimes possible, that's the stupidest of crimes to commit. If you're going to commit mortgage fraud or bank fraud, don't be surprised when they have the paper trail because the crime itself is committed on paper. So, again, the Letitia James scandal. As you'll recall, Letitia James ran on finding charges to go after Donald Trump with. She went after him on the crimes of taking a federal crime down to the New York level, which is not legal. She then split one charge into 32 charges, which is not a thing. Even in the New York State Supreme Court, there's precedent to throw that kind of crap out. And she then ran on saying, look, just I'll do whatever I have to do to take this man's money, which is, again, not the most undemocrat thing I've ever heard. So Letitia James is on the record telling OVM Financial, a bank, that her second home that she had bought in Virginia was in a state of her primary residence. So she told OVM Financial that she had been primarily living in the Commonwealth of Virginia in order to get a 3% interest rate on a second home instead of 3.815%. She told her insurance that it was owner occupied means that she lives there to get a lower rate because if you are living in the property, cheaper to insure. She told the IRS it was a rental property and there were zero days of the year that she used it personally. That's to claim maximum tax deductions for losses. And then she told New York state it was an investment property because then New York would have questions about her properties that she owns and the legal residency that she has in New York in order to be, you guessed it, the Attorney General of the state of New York. Those are four different kinds of bank fraud. Now the funny thing is there are several outlets that have accidentally admitted at this point, but Zoran Mandani has taken the super brave approach. He of the socialist billionaire Joy boy class. Here you go. There is nothing because there is nothing illegal or radical to believe that no one is above the law.
- [42:14]
So we thank you, Tish.
- [42:16]
Thank you, Tish.
- [42:17]
We have your back.
- [42:18]
We have your back.
- [42:19]
And we say to Donald Trump that.
- [42:24]
If you want to get to the Attorney General, you are going to have.
- [42:33]
To get through every single one of us.
- [42:40]
So first of all, like J.B. pritzker, that's kind of getting into threat and suggestion of the incitement of the obstruction of justice kind of a thing. Number two, that's the worst way to announce anything ever. We're all gonna group chant one line at a time and it's a paragraph long. We gotta bring the radio crew back. Don't go anywhere. It's the Tony Kinnid cast. This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad Ryan. Real United Airlines customers. We were returning home and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Kath and Andrew.
- [43:12]
I got to sit in the driver's seat.
- [43:13]
I grew up in an aviation family and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age. That's Andrew, a real United pilot. These small interactions can shape a kid's future. It felt like I was the captain. Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever. That's how good leads the way. The Tony Kennett cast on 93 WIBC. There's even more news. I'm so sorry. There's just all of the news in this one small show. So the FBI has began, begun, begin, commenced quite the investigation. Perhaps the largest targeted investigation of an organization since they put a bunch of Catholic parents on a list for going to a school board meeting. No. In all seriousness, the FBI has begun a serious investigation of the antifa chapters around the country and the various NGOs that fund Antifa. So as a reminder, the Trump administration declared the antifa organizations a domestic terrorist or just a terrorist organization operating domestically. This allows essentially local police departments to use certain federal law charges to go after individuals. It also means a see something, say something. So if someone is a member of Antifa, then it's more likely the cops show up to talk to them and an opportunity for, let's say, fruit of the discovery instead of fruit of the poisonous tree. So if a cop shows up, starts talking to antifa people and notices something kind of suspicious in the bag, they can be taken in for questioning. So what's going on in Portland right now are a series of arrests against Antifa because there are individuals that are participating in illegal activities. Shocker. Now the antifa groups do seem to be armed with a strangely identical series of gas masks, Rubbermaid trash cans and oil drums. Kind of. Or not oil drum. You know those big 50 gallon bins, like the water bins almost, they cut in half and they spray paint with the antifa flags because they're totally not an organization. They just all have the exact same badge. And right now the FBI is currently in the process of reaching out to anyone who has been investigated or, excuse me, anyone who has been attacked by antifa and is essentially gathering all of the information. Now I also have a piece of information that I can now share on the show. Although I apologize, I tried, I cannot share the bureau that this is coming out of in the FBI. This is a friend of mine in a, let's say a midwestern bureau who has confirmed the entire 4chan backlog on their Antifa database, essentially 4chan online forum with some rather autistic individuals who are very, very, very, very, very good at seek and destroy, at finding individuals, at doxxing, at discovering locations. There's a video called Bike Lock of Berkeley that I highly recommend you watching by the Internet historian that basically shows this kind of 4chan style autism. I mean that in an extreme compliment, by the way. There is a kind of autism that is just unmatched in mathematical and data analytics. It's an Internet joke. It's, it's, it's astounding to watch the 4chan crew producer Nick has his head in his hands because he knows what I'm saying is quite the something. Don't care.
- [46:43]
Producer Nick
Stop all your head.
- [46:45]
Tony Kennett
No, I'm going to go Further down, I want to get emails about this. So the FBI is right now looking over every bit of information regarding Antifa as well as those funding the terrorist organization. Now, the reason that we believe they are starting to get a lot closer. On October 5, Andy Ngo, of course, friend of the show, also at the presidential roundtable on Antifa, posted that Mark Bray, a financier of international Antifa and the author of the Antifa handbook, has announced he's fleeing to Europe, believed that he is fleeing to Spain. The announcement, of course, he said, follows the US Government declaring antifa. Domestic terrorists in the intelligence community is looking to establish the internal links to declare international Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization. Much like the Letitia James bank fraud situations, money trails are a lot harder to just sweep away. They're finding this out even in Chicago. But that's a story for another show. Now, Antifa is responding by basically gathering as many people as they can and trying to now convince the country that it's just a bunch of people in frog suits. Says they're really afraid of this frog. And it's a guy in a frog suit walking around with a frog, that flag that says resist. I will remind you that ICE and Border Patrol, other federal agents, are now going around spraying the air intake holes of those in costumes and participating in riotous activity. And as someone who has enjoyed a lungful of Benning's finest friendly gases, I very much recommend not thinking that your weird frog suit can stand up to the latest in pepper technology. Producer Nick.
- [48:38]
Producer Nick
I thought frogs were like bad fascist motifs since Pepe.
- [48:43]
Tony Kennett
There's a lot of like kind of amorphous blobbish marketing. It goes in and out. You know, the okay symbol is bad. Now it's good. Frogs are bad. Now they're good. I mean, it's, it's really quite the incredible thing. Piece is good, now it's bad, right? Ceasefire. Now. Where's Rashida Tlaib? Where's Ayanna Pressley? Oh, wait, we know where Ayanna Presley is today. Ayanna Pressley got very upset because we're celebrating Columbus Day. She doesn't like that. Ayanna Pressley, she of the not as important members of the squad. She sent out a scathing tweet about Indigenous People's Day. She says, quote, happy Indigenous Peoples Day. We are all on stolen land. And while Republicans try to whitewash American history, we acknowledge our country's role in inflicting trauma on our indigenous neighbors. We'll keep celebrating their contributions unless they're like on a sports team or, you know, a carton of butter. Centering native voices. They have never once centered native voices ever in our policy making and building a more just, equitable future. By the way, there is not one member of native descent on Ayanna Pressley, not one tribal member on Ayanna Pressley's staff. Not one. I looked actually like there are like equity places where they keep track of this kind of crap. There's not one, I'm afraid. Womp, womp. Now, as an actual card carrying Native American blend and not the Elizabeth Warren kind, I am more than happy to say that Ayanna Presley's super duper, extremely fancy house. That's like millions of dollars. She didn't, she didn't give it to me. The Ben and Jerry socialists who are upset about indigenous peoples or whatever, they haven't given me any stock in Ben and Jerry's. Yeah, nope. No one's given me any of their expensive fancy stuff. And in fact, it's just a bunch of angry liberal old white women and Ayanna Pressley who's like an honorary old liberal white woman who are just screaming because they don't actually know anything about culture or indigenous people or the brutal history of violence that goes with any group of people on the face of this earth. Radio crew, we have to send you off to the end of our show for the broadcast side. We're going to continue on the Tony Kinnick cast. We got a little bonus tonus that's really worth sticking around for. It's the Tony Kenneth cast. We will see y' all on the tomorrow side of things. All right over here on the live stream. Incredible. Columbus Day itself, a beautiful time. And I will say, the Aztec empire, the child sacrificing Aztec empire was not single handedly overthrown by Columbus. When Christopher Columbus and the Spanish crew rolled up onto the shores and made their way inland. The Aztecs thought that the Columbus expedition were sun gods, essentially delegates from the sun gods. And so they came up to the Spanish and they sacrificed a child in front of them. There are multiple documents, including indigenous kept documents or native kept documents, whatever, that show this to be true. And the Spanish seeing a child be sacrificed in front of them, then killed all of the men that were standing in front of them that were from the Aztecs. Because child sacrifice, kind of an anathema to Christians, especially to Catholics. Oh, that Protestants. Oh, that Baptists carried some of the same deep moral convictions that our Catholic brothers and sisters routinely display. And the Catholics in that delegation as they established a beachhead as they made their settlement stick and moved inward into Central America. Christopher Columbus and his Spanish delegation did not single handedly tear down the Aztec Empire. Instead, they met all of these other tribes in Central America and northern South America that the Aztecs had beaten, raped and enslaved for centuries, all the way back to the 12 or 1300s. And so with the help of those native and indigenous groups and assistance with bringing the gospel and you know, things like basic hygiene, they conquered the Aztec Empire. They toppled it, thank God in heaven. They toppled the. Sorry, Cortez. Not, not Columbus. Cortez would later go on to take over what Cortez and Columbus would do. Sorry, C names what Cortez and Columbus would go on to do what Columbus started and Cortez finished. That's the right way to phrase it. Sorry about that. Is crucial. When Europeans arrived in the United States were. And the broader American hemisphere, were there acts of atrocity? Absolutely. There were also acts of incredible civilization gain, the application and expansion of human rights, the extension of lifespans and the cessation of the endless decades and centuries of brutal native tribes, brutal native tribes raping and killing each other again and again and again and again. And so to see the whining and the preening and the boo hoo upsetness, it's just, it's not gonna stick. It's not gonna stick at all. Okay, onto a couple of things that are really excellent. I did mention Mark Carney a little bit earlier now that we're into a bit of the bonus tonus side of things. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada. You may remember that Carney just came to the United States and greatly upset both the Liberals and the Conservatives because Trump is now giving Carney orders. He has broken Mark Carney. And so at the peace conference, Carney. Well, there's a pretty humorous exchange here. Check it out.
- [55:05]
Thanks.
- [55:09]
I'm glad you upgraded me to president.
- [55:12]
President of Pakistan
Great stuff.
- [55:14]
Producer Nick
It's good.
- [55:14]
Tony Kennett
I started. So he greets Carney and says, ah, President, you know, greets the Canadian Prime Minister. He says, oh, I've been upgraded to, to President, you know, I. And Trump says, well, at least I didn't say Governor. I, I'm, I'm still for the incorporation of Canada into the United States as a non voting territory except Alberta. Alberta can be a state. They can vote. So this brings us to two excellent things from today that cannot go without notice. First of all, the praise. The sharing of credit from the presidency from President Trump to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a former primary challenger and again, the best Secretary of state we've had in at least a century.
- [56:04]
And then you're going to add a man named Marco Rubio, who is also here. That's right. And I have a prediction that Marco will go down, I mean this, as the greatest secretary of state in the history of the United States. I believe that. I believe him. And he and I, you know, we really fought it out. You remember, he was tough, he was nasty. Who the hell thought this was going to happen? Marco. Right? And now I'm saying he's going to go down as the greatest.
- [57:00]
He will.
- [57:01]
He was always. He was always smart and sharp, and people respect him.
- [57:08]
That's correct. But I want to make it clear why that's correct. The reason that he points out that Marco Rubio is smart and sharp and that he is respected is not for people here in the United States. It's not for us. It's on the world stage. I pointed this out the very first time that Marco Rubio went down to Panama. And I said, on his way down there, I said, here's what's going to happen. He's going to walk into the room with the President of Panama. He's gonna lean forward like he does. He's gonna speak in a threatening Cuban accent, maybe laced with a little bit of Spanish, and he's gonna make it very clear the United States is not to be bleeped with. And then Panama backed out. And every time Marco Rubio. Trump has two sticks. He has the stick with the carrot on it, and then he has the flail. So the spiky medieval metal ball. So the carrot. The stick that's holding the carrot, that's Steve Witkoff. Trump sends Steve Witkoff in, and Witkoff is really great at saying, you can have the moon. You want the moon, Mary? I'll throw a last. I'm gonna get it down for you. You want the move, Mahid? Just stop invading Israel. Here you go. Here's the moon. That's what he offers. Steve Witkoff does that with the authority of the President to make some negotiative offers. And then if that isn't delivered, if that isn't acted on, Trump gets out the flail on the other stick is the spiky ball of ouch. He sends Witkoff to Iran, says, I tell you what, Mary, you just get rid of those nuclear facilities, we do a little bit of 1, 2, and presto, everything's fine. And Iran said, in an accent I'm not even going to attempt, no. Marco Rubio says, this is your last chance. They say no Operation Midnight Hammer. This is the best Secretary of State. The President recognizes this. It is crucial the sec. First of all, the State Department is a wretched skive of a wretched hive of scum and villainy words. And it's got decades, we've talked about this on a previous show, decades of individuals who were antithetical to the United States from the Bush and the Obama administrations who became legacy people. Rubio has scooped them all out with the ultimate pooper scooper. And now he's moving around the world effectuating America first policy. It is in America's best interest that the Israeli government continues to be an active part of the Middle East. To see Qatar, to see the Saudis, to see Egypt, to see, yes, even Erdogan and Turkey work with Israel. It is within our best interests because of course, you have the Canal's massive amounts of trade. You have an extension of US Power that doesn't require US lives being spent. You have a nation that has agreed to buy all of their weapons, period, from the United States. It is a major success in that way. Particularly now regarding President Trump calling for BB Netanyahu to be pardoned. Two things. Number one, he's called for Bibi to be pardoned before. I asked the speaker of the House, the Speaker of the Knesset, who introduced President Trump about the crimes that Netanyahu was accused of and they're really convoluted system. He's accused of like taking some friendly favors, that it's essentially like Clarence Thomas is accused of taking a free vacation, a jet to holiday. That's the stuff that Bibi is being accused of, essentially their political stuff. You're very familiar with it here in the United States. Now Trump called for Isaac Herzog, who is a left leaning member of the Israeli government and may I say is probably one of the more naive people in a governing sense. When I've mentioned on the show before that Herzog is one of the guys who believes you just educate people enough, then all of a sudden they'll love you and everything will be fine. Like if you just take the gaggle of BBC journalists to the Holocaust Museum in Israel, the newer one, then all of a sudden they'll realize that Israel is correct in its stances and does deserve to be a country. That's not going to happen because it just so happens that the BBC employs really awful people. Objectively, so do Al Jazeera and the like. So that guy is who Trump was saying that needs to pardon Bibi. Isaac doesn't have the authority. Herzog doesn't have the authority to actually pardon Bibi Netanyahu. There has to be like a committee, a judicial review that, that does that. That's not a presidential authority. Is that something that Bibi told him to do? No. Trump's called for it several times. Other world leaders have called for it several times. This is, I, I've seen some people drawing some super interesting conspiracy yarn today. No, I'm, I'm, I'm afraid not there, Chief. That brings us to two things I've been really looking forward to. First of all, George Stephanopoulos and J.D. vance today. This was yesterday on kind of the Sunday show Roundup. I want you to, I want you to see George Stephanopoulos try to cut off J.D. vance because he hasn't learned. And it just, it looks really, really bad for the network by legitimate Supreme.
- [62:35]
Court rulings, doesn't it?
- [62:38]
J.D. Vance
The Constitution says that the Supreme Court can make rulings, but if the Supreme Court, and look, I hope that they would not do this, but if the Supreme Court said the president, United States can't fire a general, that would be an illegitimate ruling. And the president has to have Article 2 prerogative under the Constitution to actually run the military as he sees fit. This is just basic constitutional legitimacy. You're talking about a hypothetical where the Supreme Court tries to run the military. I don't think that's going to happen, George, but of course, if it did, the president would have to respond to it. There are multiple examples throughout American history of the president doing just that.
- [63:15]
Tony Kennett
You didn't say military in your answer, and you've made it very clear you believe the president can defy the Supreme Court. Senator, thanks for your time this morning.
- [63:21]
So that was back. Excuse me. That was back when George Stephanopoulos interviewed J.D. vance back in, in 2021. And they're, they're trying to make the claim that President Trump, I guess he's trying to kind of shoehorn JD Vance into this awkward position on the Supreme Court. Notice how he lets him finish, kind of get everything through when J.D. vance says one particular set of things now. Well, I mean, things get a little bit different real quick. So George Stephanopoulos had Vice President JD Vance on the show. And I'm gonna be honest with you, it looks so, so bad for a Sunday show to try to go after members of the administration, not in kind of the, what would you say, producer Nick? The Margaret Brennan style where they just say something really dumb and accusatory, but to try and instead Kind of cut off the vice President here. I think we've got the clip. Here you go.
- [64:26]
J.D. Vance
I don't know what tape you're referring to, George. I saw media reports that Tom Homan accepted a bribe. There's no evidence of that. And here's George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program and why you're losing credibility because you're talking for now five minutes with the vice president United States about this story regarding Tom Homan, a story that I've read about, but I don't even know the video the that you're talking about. Meanwhile, low income women can't get food because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer have shut down the government. Right now we're trying to figure out how to pay our troops because Chuck Schumer has shut down the government. You are focused on a bogus story. You're insinuating criminal wrongdoing against a guy who has done nothing wrong instead of focusing on the fact now.
- [65:11]
Tony Kennett
So the clip that Stephanopoulos was referring to, we went ahead and put that up for you here. He's making the claim, Stephanopoulos was making the claim that J.D. vance is now flip flopped on positions and you know, sort of political prosecutions and Supreme Court weighing this way, that way and things like that with Tom Holman and this alleged bribery scheme that really isn't holding a lot of water. And now he's getting into the good stuff. Right now the shutdown is still going on. It looks worse for Democrats on the polling data by the day that our.
- [65:41]
J.D. Vance
Country is struggling because our government shut down. Let's talk about the real issues, George. I think the American people would benefit much more from that than from you going down some weird left wing rabbit hole where the facts clearly show that Tom Homan didn't engage in any criminal wrongdoing.
- [65:56]
Tony Kennett
It's not a weird left wing rabbit hole. I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Holman accepted $50,000 as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024 and you did not answer the question. Thank you for your time this morning.
- [66:10]
J.D. Vance
No, I said that I don't.
- [66:12]
Tony Kennett
Up next. We'll be right back.
- [66:14]
Yeah. So again, when you're agreeing with everything that George Stephanopoulos says, he'll let you talk as long as he wants. And then when Vance says, look, here are the facts, no, he didn't, the story looks bogus. I again, I don't know which of the tapes of the times that Senator Vance had been on multiple Sunday shows. I don't know which the tape's referring to, but here's the data. You're just being a hack. And Stephanopoulos says. And now commercial to the vice to the vice president of the United States. I don't know if the left crew on the media side on ABCs this week. I really don't know if that's doing them any favors. Any favors whatsoever. Number two, the last thing I wanted to show you here on the show this evening is Lindsey Graham talking about the bank fraud with Letitia James. This is on Meet the Press. So normally for top news in 10, we do kind of a Sunday show roundup going into Monday. I watch what the left kind of corporate media's version of podcasts are and then we go through their big guests and whatever. And usually in the Trump administration, it's somebody dunking on, as we said, CBS this week or CBS Face the Nations, Margaret Brennan. But Lindsey Graham going on Meet the Press and talking about the Letitia James indictment is just, you can tell even he's excited to answer this one. Do you think that crosses a line.
- [67:36]
Lindsey Graham
Between the Justice Department being independent from the executive branch?
- [67:41]
Oxford Student/Activist
I think our Justice Department in the hands of Biden crossed every line there is to cross. I think within three days of announcing he was going to run for president in 2024. He did that in 2020.
- [67:52]
Tony Kennett
What about Trump? He had.
- [67:55]
What about.
- [67:56]
Oxford Student/Activist
Yeah, now I think the grand jury is going to take care of this. But you didn't care any about this. You didn't care that Letitia James made up charges that no one's ever faced. But Senator Biden never publicly indicted he had 90 Biden. Biden regretted that they didn't do it before the election. Jack Smith surveilled my phone phone records that Nate other senators. Jack Smith introduced his brief against Trump October 24th before the 2024 election.
- [68:27]
Tony Kennett
She, she can't like cut him off because he's in studio. So you'll notice that that Vance was coming from either the executive mansion or he was actually coming from the White House. One of the two. He was, he was on like a telecall so George Stephanopoulos could cut him off. You can tell the uncomfortableness at the moment. But Graham is in studio. He can continue. She can't really go to commercial in.
- [68:53]
Oxford Student/Activist
The same way violating every protocol just to politicize the election. So this may bother you that people are being held accountable. It doesn't bother me one damn bit.
- [69:04]
Tony Kennett
Correct. Love it.
- [69:06]
Producer Nick
Producer Nick I think what's really telling with both of these presenters, these newscasters, is how unprepared they are to actually talk about the topics that are on their papers, the questions that they're prompted to ask. They know so little about it. That's why they continually refer to lines such as with George, he just, he just read off what the paper had already said beforehand. He restated the question.
- [69:28]
Tony Kennett
Again. It's the, the, the foolishness I think of believing they can play the same media games, especially at times like these, is going to come back and bite them. We don't have enough time to talk about the tariff that Trump is threatening to slap on China. And the academics coming out saying, oh, Trump doesn't really mean it. He's not going to go through with this. Because now that the Middle east is beginning its point of being solved, well, you know, it's it, China's probably not going to be having a really good fall. Sorry, Humpty, but that all said, I do want to answer a few of the mail time questions that I think have been really excellent in this show, especially because a couple of individuals who have either given super chats, which again, you don't have to do, or there's some really good questions. No better way to put it. From Lizaria Was Trump asking for a pardon of Netanyahu out of left field or kind of unexpected? Trump vamps often and he'll talk about whatever's in the room with him when he vamps. So was it unexpected that he did so? I don't think so. I heard an expectation, kind of a podcast on what some might think he was going into. I can't remember the name of the podcast. It was kind of a Sunday morning roundup saying they thought he might call for something like this. He's called for it before. If I do remember, I'll throw it in. The description from Brian Dundon. Dundon from Brian Law and Order Sound Tony, that was the best rock and roll band of the 80s. Oh well, thank you. I'm sorry. He was talking about once in a once in a lifetime. I'm sorry, I thought we had more on the mailbag of questions inside. From the Unknown Swan why is a Generation Z trust fund kid TikTok rapper who's only lived in America for seven years and is Islamic about to be the mayor of the number one financial capital in the country? Explain. Excellent question. The answer is because he can afford to campaign. That would be number one. Number two, because the youth academic class which believes that they should be given things, and the children of immigrants I don't mean a lot of immigrants themselves, but the children of immigrants born here in the United States, first generation, second generation, are very, very, very entitled by the data. And in New York, you just happen to have a lot of those people tightly packed into what is also not just the financial capital of the United States, it's also the second cultural capital of the U.S. los Angeles. Hollywood being the first, New York being the second. There are a lot of people who go into media, go into the arts, who go into that kind of crap, who move into New York City. And so you do see a large belt of people that are anchoring around that new progressive wing in the party. It doesn't really matter that he's an idiot, because in New York, they've been told for a very long time that Republicans are the devil. And I'm sorry, one of the reasons that Curtis Silva is not standing a better chance is because it sounds so petty. It's just the way that voter psychology works. He's wearing a red beret. That's 90% of it. I'm not joking. According to the polling, people find it that he's just. He's kind of weird because of the red beret. Now, is he wearing it for a good reason? Yeah. Guardian angel is excellent. His work for the people of New York City, phenomenal. Is Silver going to pull it out? No, he's not. He and Cuomo should form some sort of collaborative ticket, collaboratist ticket, and beat Mandani, but they're not going to do that. And the reason is because men in their Middle Ages, especially in that part of the world, have incredibly large egos. They just do. Sometimes that's really good. Like the President of the United States. Pretty big ego. New Yorker. Great. But sometimes when you're running a split ticket, you're going to split the electric, and that's going to put Mandani pretty high in the list. At least I think. Tony, do you actually think that Cuomo and Letitia James are going to be convicted? Letitia James, yes. Cuomo or not? Excuse me? Not. Not Cuomo. Comey. I'm guessing that's kind of what they meant in the question. Comey, Do I think that Leticia is going to be convicted? Yeah. That's really going to be difficult not to be. For her crimes are really blatant. Even the New York Times kind of accidentally admitted it. As for Comey, I think that it's likely he gets slapped with something, but I think that the bigger. The bigger thing to watch out for in Comey's charges is what comes out during discovery that shows he committed other crimes elsewhere. I think that's what you're more likely to see. And you do see this in small crimes that are charged, they go through discovery. Things are aired out, dumped in front of the prosecutor to sort through, dig through investigators, things like that at the Department of Justice. That's where you're going to find things, I think, pretty quickly. Anyway, last question. When did the Justice Department become independent of the executive branch? So this is a question I've wanted to answer for a little while. The Department of Justice is not supposed to be independent of the executive branch of. But when you get to the issue of individuals who are charged with political crimes, the president is kind of supposed to step away as the chief executive and let the Attorney General be nonpartisan. There is this theory that basically from the 1950s, 60s onward, you would appoint an Attorney General who would just be about upstanding and upholding the law. This is a Cold War tactic. We said that our. Even our political appointees were nonpartisan, that we would appoint an Attorney General and they would be confirmed, and then they would act in accordance to the law. And they had to do that because, again, Cold War, you know, the American system corrupt because of all these political parties. Therefore, everything is inherently political in and of itself. As opposed to the Communists, who there's only one party, so everyone has to be fair, which is bull crap. The idea of Attorney Generals being independent of the Department of Justice has always been, or independent of the Executive has always been a sham. It's a government, it is political. Everything is inherently political. There is no such thing as nonpartisanship. It does not exist. You are built of your values. Your values determine your decisions. If you have the same values as everyone else around you, then you're in a situation where decisions you make may appear apolitical. If I say murder is bad, that's an apolitical statement to those of you who believe also that murder is bad. But if you don't believe murder is bad, or you believe that some kinds of murder, let's say UnitedHealthcare CEO or a child in the womb, is an acceptable sacrifice or an acceptable murder, then the calculus changes. Then saying whether murder is bad or not morally then becomes a political statement. So there's no such thing as an independent Department of Justice. Now the idea there's a status quo antebellum we can all return to where we don't prosecute political opponents. Yeah, that's gone. It doesn't exist. There's no whistle past the graveyard and return to normal. It's not here. It's been broken already. All the king's horses, all the king's men in Hathaway strategies in Chicago, in the establishment Republican wing, may really try their rootness tooness to glue it all together again. Yeah, you're not gonna. So with that. I think that we've answered kind of enough on the mail time side of questions. You got any more? Tonykinnett. Com T o N Y K I N N E T T com.
