We're not quite sure we've ever seen a caucus in such utter panic. Senate Democrats from Arizona to Vermont are in complete nuclear meltdown over a public that has, according to new polls, firmly turned against them and the "Schumer Shutdown."

Tony Kennett, host of the Tony Kennett cast. Let's get down to business. You're listening to the Tony Kennett cast on 93WibcyTV here on the Daily Signal. Good evening and welcome to the Tony Kenneth cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated, first on wibc. It's good to be with you this evening, unless you just so happen to be one of the Democrats currently in hyper Crisis nuclear meltdown DEFCON 1 mode. Because a large portion of your constituents, if you're in the Democratic Party, are very, very unhappy with you. They're unhappy with you. And why are they unhappy with you? Well, because you wouldn't just vote to keep the government open. And now you're trying to run around and say that it's actually Trump who's bad for not using super extra Emergency Plan Alpha to get funds from some part of the U.S. department of Agriculture to the rest of the country. Here's Governor Tim Walls, not to be confused with the Ontario Premier Doug Ford, although they look exactly the same. You may know him as the somewhat male kicking showgirl who was Kamala Harris running mate in her brat summer presidential campaign. Here he is trying to make the claim that, that actually Trump's a big stinky bad man because he's not breaking the law to deliver SNAP benefits when the money hasn't been allocated. I want to be very clear, USDA during this shutdown has contingency funds that they could release just like us. They are choosing not to. They are choosing not to. And usually we start to do these things as we get near to Thanksgiving and we start to bring it to attention. And we don't need a holiday to tell you that food insecurity is real, that the system that we've developed keeps people out of poverty, keeps. I love that you have people like Governor Tim Walz talking about how bad it is on the ground in places like Minnesota. Do you want to take a wild guess, Producer Nick, who has been the governor of Minnesota these Last couple of terms here, you know, I haven't really seen anybody else other than Tim himself. Let's survey says Tim Walls. That's correct. We'll let continue out of hunger improves their quality of life, improves their health and lets them participate in our society. And when this risk comes, it puts a lot of children, a lot of seniors, and a lot of folks with disabilities at risk by a choice. So he claims that the Trump administration is making two really bad choices. First, he's claiming the Trump administration shut the government down and canceled SNAP funding. Well, of course that's not true. The Republicans and some Democrats put forward a measure to put a continuing resolution out there, keep SNAP benefits rolling on through what we would have known previously as food stamps. And then there is a little bit of a lawsuit out now after some Democrats have voted against the continuing resolution measure. And also the private benefit packages that have been attempted to be leveled in the House by Republicans in the Senate. Now the plan is to sue the Department of Agriculture. Why? Well, because you see, there's this like $6 billion piggy bank account, Democrats say in the USDA. And what does this piggy bank do? Well, it sits there waiting for an emergency. And they claim this is a Category 5 Super Duper Ultra Extreme 2012 in theaters Emergency right here. Um, that's at least what the great purple haired representative Rosa DeLauro made it very clear that she was saying of the Empowerment control Act of 1974. The Contingency Funding that we set aside for SNAP is not optional spending. It is required by the law. Okay, so she says the contingency fund that we set in place for snap, no such fund exists. It doesn't exist. That that's not the case. There's no Dave Ramsey envelope in the back where they can just open it up and boom, look. Oh, it says SNAP on the envelope. Here's all this money. That's not a thing. She's citing a contingency that she's claiming is in the U.S. department of Agriculture budget for SNAP. Here's the thing. SNAP is a mandatory program which is created and funded specifically by Congress. That means Congress says this amount of money is for snap, and then that money then goes to the agency and it's, you know, you say, oh, snap. Okay, well, we're going to give this SNAP money to SNAP recipients. Now here's the thing. The President can declare a national emergency, which by the way, Congress refusing to act. ACT and refusing to pass contingency measures. That's not an emergency. Just because Chuck Schumer screwed the pooch. Doesn't mean that that's like five alarm emergency. I'm sorry, that's just not, that's not how that works. Even if he did create a national emergency, I hate to break it to you, whether he does it under the National Emergencies act or the Stafford act, that doesn't allow him to just automatically move money around and place those funds in snap, you say, Tony, how do you know that? Because Congress reiterated multiple times in the 50s, 60s and 70s that the president could not use a emergency to just move money around like Mr. Monopoly with a banking spree. Why? Because we had just seen what happened when the governments of Weimar Germany, later on, Hitler's Germany, Italian under Italy, under Mussolini, the rampant inflation which would later hit post war France, post war Spain for a little while. That's when Franco would start moving money around like he had a job to do. These instances of mass movements of money by the executive were prevented by Congress. As funny as this is the argument that Republicans are now the ones that are keeping SNAP benefits away. Guys, I'm gonna be be real with you here. Even though purple hair DeLauro, Tim Walls, other Democrats are trying this line. Even some Democrats in the Senate aren't buying it. They're just not buying it. Senator Chris Croons of Delaware admits, yeah, well, they have to keep the government shut down and screw over the TSA agents and the air traffic control and the troops and federal workers in general and SNAP recipients. Why? Well, because this is the only leverage Democrats have. Chris Coons Delaware Republicans control the House.
Rob Bluey
The Senate and the White House.
Tony Kennett
Frankly, this is our only moment of leverage. And although a very unpleasant tool to use. Oh, wait a minute. So you're admitting that this is your moment of leverage. So again, to fact check the. Well, Republicans control the House and the Senate and the White House. Republicans do control a majority in the Senate. However, they do not have 60 votes, which is required for cloture. What you're seeing right now, they'll pass a bill through to get 53, 54, a bipartisan mix. Republicans and Democrats vote in favor of the continuing resolution. And then you'll have some Democrats like Cory Booker sit there constipated and go, no. And that doesn't reach 60 votes. Now there are some senators like Hawley. I also believe Senator Rick Scott of Florida as well as Democrat Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania who's saying we need to nuke the filibuster over this we need to go nuclear option. Guys, no, do not nuke the Filibuster. It's a bad idea. Whenever you get rid of a lot of Senate parliamentary procedure, you are asking for pain. But I digress, because you also have guys like Sheldon Whitehouse, the most Rhode island name ever to come out of Rhode island, also saying that, well, you know, this is just the only leverage. If we have to hurt Americans, we gotta hurt American families. Well, that's the only option we got on the table. Here he is. This is a White House to Nicholas Ballasey. Why are working families the leverage the.
Rob Bluey
Democrats need to get Obamacare fixed? To get the Republicans to fix Obamacare?
Tony Kennett
Why is that the place you guys have to go that far?
Rob Bluey
It's the only lever we have.
Tony Kennett
Oh, it's the only. It's the only lever we have. It's all we got. By the way, my personal favorite of any kind of video you can get out of the Hill is the senator who is so desperate to hit the elevator button, and it opened the door and he gets in there. Senators love to escape situations like these. And then when the button doesn't instantly open the elevator doors, he then is forced to talk to the reporter. So you can see him, like, sprinting up to the elevator, like, oh, I gotta press the button. Ah, Nicholas got to me first. And then he has to admit, yeah, we're doing this on purpose. Now, you may be wondering why this matters. Why care? I mean, so, yeah, a couple of senators, you know, having a grumpy time, admitting that they're doing this on purpose. The reason they're having a rough time is twofold. That's right, twofold. Number one, because Senate and Democrat leadership in general is panicking. They are full on panic. And Anakin. And number two, because the country is also not particularly thrilled about what the Democrats in Congress are doing. We'll go in order here. First of all, Chuck Schumer is panicking hardcore. He's losing it. He did a little press conference presentation today with the FedEx Kinko's posters that they all seem to have access to 24 hours a day. And he was talking about how Maddie is about Trump's ballroom and also the building that they're putting in at the White House. And so Chuck Schumer, he. He's out there yelling about that. That doesn't work. His office is hectic. Do you know how I know? Because Chuck Schumer's social media interns were sending out tweet after tweet after tweet after tweet after tweet, one after the other today. I was watching them. I was on a news hit. I'm the national correspondent for the Daily Signal. It's one of my jobs to do TV hits throughout the day. And I couldn't escape these just consistent, just out there, just tweets from Chuck Schumer, desperate to get any purchase anywhere whatsoever. We're gonna talk about this panic a little bit in a moment. Radio crew, we have to send you to the commercial so I don' get kneecapped by the fcc. It's the Tony Kinnit cast. We'll continue on the live stream. So these tweets are nothing special for those who are listening six hours ago. Tonight, Senate Democrats will take over the Senate. Florida fight back. They're not. Thanks to Republicans, Americans are on the brink of a health care crisis, and no one cares. This Republican health care crisis. Okay, we are in a health care crisis. That's great, Chuck. Next slide. Millions of hungry families are. Okay, Chuck. Instead of fixing health care. Okay, next slide. Republicans are in charge. Here we go. Back to right now. We're forced to. Chuck's communications office is terrified because there are other Democrat senators who are getting a hold of his office and are saying, dude, it's a bloodbath out here. What are we supposed to do? And Chuck Schumer steps forward with his commsum, goes, I know, I'll send a tweet. And he's tried that 56 times in a row. By the way, the reason that I know so much about this particular thing is because in the land of PR and social media, my advice to someone going through a hard time is the exact opposite. Don't tweet Democrats. They do the opposite. They bite the bullet for it. Now, here's the fun part. Over on the media, Democrats are at the mercy of. Of pundits, anchors who are not just giving them the benefit of the doubt anymore. First of all, Senator Peter Welch essentially backed into a corner over on CNN today, pointing out that the nation's largest public sector union is telling Democrats to get over themselves and freaking pass the CR because, of course, what's a union's biggest concern? They don't get paid. Here's Peter Welch admitting, well, yeah, we know it's tough on people, but dang it, Chuck's a tweeting right now. The nation's largest public sector union calling.
Rob Bluey
For you guys to pass a clean, continued resolution.
Tony Kennett
Does that change your position? It doesn't change it, but it's a real indication of how this is really tough on people. It doesn't change What I'm willing to do, but I admit we're hurting people, is a wild thing to say politically. And then you've got Cory Booker all angry eyes himself. Now, we'll be getting to Cory Booker a little bit later in the show, but props to the Lindell tv, the Mike Lindell TV reporter that they've put in Washington. I have rarely seen a maverick get so many good questions off at various members of the Democrat Party. It's a real talent they've got over there. Some really good questioning. Here's how Cory Booker responds with Clark said the Democrats are keeping the government shut down so you guys can use this time for leverage. But now nearly 2 million Americans are going to go without paychecks at the end of the week. Do you have any costs? Can you explain how this leverage actually benefits the American people? I'm really confused by your question. The President of the United States controls the White House, so he's going to blame it on Trump. But I'm sorry, did you not hear the series of clips that I played from his colleagues that just admitted they have leverage? We have leverage. A couple days ago, the House minority whip. We're using this as our only leverage. It's our only thing we can do. They control things, so we have to use this leverage. So she asks Corey, how is this leverage helping the American people? Left, right, center, Venezuelan, Canadian, I don't care who you are. That's a fair question. And he says it's Trump who's to blame. He's out there doing it. I know he is. It's me, Donald Trump. The Republicans in the House and the Senate have shown their willingness to do a form of yoga. I've never seen to bend over backwards and do whatever he wants them to do. Gotcha. Cory Booker says they're doing yoga. Ah, they're doing yoga. They're bending over backwards for Trump. Ah, see that? That's clever, Senator Booker. That's good. New Jersey's in safe, constipated hands, so the Democrats are struggling for a number of reasons. Cory Booker had a really rough day today. We'll get to that in a bit. Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire and FBI Director Cash Patel slapped him around in a pretty brutal fashion. But the entirety of the Democrat Senate of the Democrat Party right now is in crisis mode because we're getting ready for an election one week from today. We're going to be covering it until the elections are over. Four hours, five hour show. We're going to be on a long time. We've Got a lot of great guests scheduled for that evening. We'll share more about that in a little bit. There's a lot to break down in what's supposed to be the bellwether for how 2026 is going to go. Ah, but we have something better on that bellwether don't go anywhere. We gotta pick up the radio crew from commercial. It's the Tony Kennett cast. This is the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WYBC. Welcome back to the Tony Kennett cast where it's a really, really rough day to expect Americans not to have a memory longer than a goldfish. Americans do in fact have a memory. Their memory's getting longer. And as the advent of social media bookmarking the ability to save reels you see on Instagram to bookmark tweets you see on X to save Facebook posts to screenshot as that progresses and becomes a more common form of keeping receipts, as we say here in the biz. You know, it just so happens that it's really hard to squiggle out of it. And the premier CNN pollster Harry Entin is out not to deliver good news for Chuckles Schumer, but in fact good news for Republicans. And we'll make this clear with Rob Bluey here in a second. Never, never in the first year after administration do you see the party in power doing this well in Congress. Not even after the events of the second George Bush term did we see a first year go this well. Here's Harry Entin on why this is a real doozy of a moment for the Dems, starting with Republicans.
Rob Bluey
How has the shutdown seemed to have affected their political standing?
Tony Kennett
Yeah, you might think given that the Republicans are in charge of both the House and the Senate, that a government shutdown might actually hur the Republican brand. But in fact it hasn't. If anything it's been helped a little bit. Take a look here. The shift in that popularity versus pre shutdown among the when we're looking at the Republican Party overall, that brand actually up two points. That's within the margin of error, but clearly it hasn't dropped. I'm going to make this clear. That's insane. That's insane. You never see the party in power go up at points in a short amount of time like that. You don't do it. Congress sucks. Americans hate Congress. Congress is the reason that a young girl cries, as the old song goes. So I'm not really seeing why this should matter. It's just how awful the Dems are. That's so that's the party as a whole. Now to Congress. Come over this side of the screen. Look at the net approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. It's actually up 5 points since pre shutdown. So what we're seeing here is the Republican brand in Congress has actually improved somewhat compared to where we were pre shutdown, despite the fact that Republicans control and that's the math that John Thune and Mike Johnson are looking at is, hey, why should we give an electorally speaking when our brand has actually improved a little bit? Now, here's why this matters before we bring on Rob There are moderate Republicans, people on the more populous side of the aisle and the more traditional conservative side of the aisle often ask me why. I say that Republicans do need a few establishment guys around to moderate the party. This is why when Mike Lawler brought an Obamacare extension to Hakeem Jeffries and stood in front of him in front of his office and said, here you go, sign it now. Obamacare fully subsidized. There you go. We'll fix this right now. It snapped something in Hakeem's brain more than the PNG of the sombrero and the mustache. And he just started yelling at Mike Lawler about who his boss was. It was a horrible moment for the Democrats. You've seen the Trump administration right now. I think Ben Shapiro this morning articulated this probably the best that have. They've bent over backwards, to use Cory Booker's term, to keep the government funded, to maneuver money around. Vice President Vance has been focused on trying any method possible to keep our troops paid, which is going to be really important when we look at air traffic controllers and perhaps the National Guard needing to step in. So what you're seeing Republicans doing is using the establishment moderate arm to beat the Democrats to death. And it's working. It's working. It's, it's really, really something that I don't think that we've seen for a very long time. And it looks like it's going to continue. No one's having a worse day than Chuck Schumer's social media interns because whether you're on msnbc, cn, whether you're on cbs, abc, Fox News, Daily Wire, Daily Caller, Daily Signal, the news is universal. Democrats are getting shellacked over the shutdown and it's getting worse by the day. Rob Bouie, president of the aforementioned Daily Signal have you ever seen a kind of election where we're getting up for the kind of the off year 2025 elections with Virginia with New Jersey with California Prop 50. And it is the Democrats who are holding emergency strategy sessions.
Rob Bluey
Tony, it's, it's remarkable because I think that Chuck Schumer and the Democrats thought that this government shutdown was going to play perfectly into their benefit and it has done anything but that in part because as you and I have talked about for the last several weeks, number one, they can't seem to stick find to a consistent message and stick to it. Secondly, I think that the voters are smarter than they give them credit for. I'll give you one example. I live in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Abigail Spanberger has been running ads pretty regularly over the course of the past month trying to knock Winsome Sears on the shutdown specifically and some comments that Winsome Sears has made publicly about them. But I'm sorry, if you're the Democrats who are the ones that are continuing to vote against opening the government, you, you, you, how are you supposed to make that your central argument here in the closing days? And I just think that it's falling flat with voters. Yes, Winsome Sears does have a challenge here. She's going against history, the income. The president's incumbent party always is on the, playing the, you know, the, the challenger role I guess is the way that I put it. When you have these off year elections at the same time. Yeah, the Democrats just keep stepping in it as you said.
Tony Kennett
Now this is the question here. I just give you get a little, little legal expertise, little knowledge from you here. What is that one piece of advice that a lawyer of a client in a really difficult lawsuit, there's always one piece of adv lawyers give their client all the time. It's, it's just the best course of action no matter what. Do you know what that piece of advice is?
Rob Bluey
Well, don't incriminate yourself. I don't know.
Tony Kennett
Don't incriminate yourself. Shut your mouth. Don't speak. I'll do the speaking. I'm the lawyer. You sit there. You be quiet. Chuck Schumer 47 minutes ago Instead of fixing health care, Donald Trump has spent it 31 minutes ago. Millions of hungry families are 26 minutes ago. It has been 39 days since House Republican was 14 minutes ago. Republicans are in charge of the White House. He is freaking out. His social media team is freaking out. You talked about Spanberger in Virginia. She's pumping out ads like nobody's business. She's freaking out. The Democrat gubernatorial candidate up in New Jersey, Gavin Newsom, is on podcasts losing his mind, giddily yipping about Eating Wonder Bread as a child. I have never seen someone slapping the panic button like it's the staples that's easy button. This is wild.
Rob Bluey
The Democrats should be in a strong position in all of these elections that you have mentioned here today.
Tony Kennett
Yeah. Everyone knows that Republicans are stalwarts in New Jersey and Virginia.
Rob Bluey
Right.
Tony Kennett
Come on. Right.
Rob Bluey
Two states that Kamala Harris won and certainly Joe Biden won four years before that. So now you have a situation, though, I think, where number one, they're not talking about the policy issues that voters care about. They might think that healthcare is going to animate voters, but when you actually look at their proposal, the $1.5 trillion that they wanted to spend on a variety of things, including undoing the provisions in the one big beautiful bill that would give healthcare to illegal aliens, those things are not popular with voters. The American people are concerned about the bread and butter issues, the pocketbook issues that Donald Trump so successfully campaigned on in 2024. And as you and I have talked about before, it's now incumbent upon Republicans to make their case as we approach the midterm. But in the case of New Jersey with Jack Ciattorelli, with Virginia Winsome Sears, you have a situation where those candidates are benefiting from this communications collapse on the part of Chuck Schumer and so many other Democrats who can't seem to get their act together. And by the way, the personalities of the Democrat candidates who are running are just not particularly likable individuals.
Tony Kennett
What, What?
Rob Bluey
This is new.
Tony Kennett
It's like Phoebe Buffet, this is brand new information. I can' it. So I. Do you remember, you and I, we were in, I can't remember which Wisconsin town it was, but during the rnc, you and I went to go grab a steak. You know, we're red blooded Americans. If we don't have a steak every couple of hours, something's wrong. So we're sitting there watching some of the Democrats respond to. I believe it was Trump's address at the, at the rnc. And one of the people on X, you know, I remember scrolling at this table at this, this steakhouse, said that because Trump wasn't talking about student loans and health care was done, he was done. And that that was it for him. Obviously it wasn't. I remember us rolling our eyes at that claim. They're trying it again, man. They're trying it again. Open enrollment is now the boogeyman Democrats are running on. And it's, it's, it's not even wild at this point. It's like watching someone think that what they really need to do to fix the, the car's flat tire is drive off the cliff.
Rob Bluey
And, and Tony, if you look at what the American people have experienced with their own health care premiums over the course of the thanks to Obamacare, remember Obamacare, this is a Democrat passed law. You can't keep your doctor, your premiums have gone through the roof. You're probably getting less options available to you in, in the plans that you do select. And so those are all broken promises on the part of a Democrat president and all of the members of Congress, including Chuck Schumer. So I just think that it falls on deaf ears to the American people when they try to pin the blame on Republicans for some of these things when they are the ones, in fact, that made the problem, created the problem to begin with. And so, yeah, they talk and rail about it as much as they want. But I give the American people more credit, including viewers of your show, to, to see right through their lies.
Tony Kennett
So, last question here. And I, I usually am a bit careful to throw a lot of weight behind kind of the betting market side of politics, but I think that the, you know, whether it's the call she or the poly market cruise, they do a pretty decent job of framing up when momentum really starts to turn. Mamdani appears to be one of these. So Mamdani's chances on polymarket to win New York's mayoral election are beginning to shift. Cuomo started to pick up momentum. Mamdani is now starting to slip. And what it shows is that the air has been completely let out of the tires here, which means something is going to have to change between now and 26, regardless of how the New York City mayoral election turns out. If the Democrats are going to slip on one thing, if they're going to moderate on one thing, let's just pretend common sense is going to hit them out of nowhere on one issue. What are Democrats most likely to moderate on, if anything at all?
Rob Bluey
Well, I mean, if you, if you take the case of Mamdani, and this is where I have given Mamdani one bit of credit, and that is he's correctly identified affordability, specifically the housing issue, as something that I think is deeply affecting Americans, regardless of whether you're a Republican, Democrat or Independent. I mean, it's just, I mean, I worry about my own kids being able to afford a home. And so I don't think his solutions are the right solutions at all. But I think that that's one area where he's at least identified the problem correctly. Do I think that they're going to moderate on? It's hard to say. I think that there might be some areas where they try to find some.
Tony Kennett
Like Ezra Klein abundance.
Rob Bluey
That's what I'm getting.
Tony Kennett
Housing or something.
Rob Bluey
Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. But I do wonder if New York City voters are beginning to realize that maybe they're seeing through the personality of Mandami and starting to focus on some of the policy implications of how much his program would cost. And they're in their wallets and maybe they're saying, okay, this is not necessarily a trip I want to take, man.
Tony Kennett
I really thought that eating rice with his hands was going to sway some voters. Rob Louie, President, Daily Signal thanks for giving us a bit of the on the ground update.
Rob Bluey
Okay, Tony, good to see you.
Tony Kennett
Radio crew, we got to send you over to the commercial real quick. We're going to continue on the live stream where you should really be watching unless you're driving. It's the Tony Kinnit cast here on the Daily Signal. Yeah, I can't encourage people to whip out YouTube while they're driving. That would be unsafe. And although it might give you something to talk about if you're one of the our radio syndication range is finest. Maybe also tuning into the live stream while you're sitting at a good speed trap. Because, you know, backing the blue is always a decent thing to do. Unless it's the Biden FBI group, the Oversight Committee and the Judicial Committee is working quicker than pretty much anyone in law enforcement, journalism and justice. Except for Senator Chuck Grassley. Senator Chuck Grassley is an anomaly. I'm fully convinced he might actually be the part cyborg. You know, I know that Candace Owens suggests that Elon Musk is actually a demonic cyborg. Not I wish I was joking, but Chuck Grassley, he might actually be a serious robotically enhanced individual because he's whistleblowing reports all the time. He's worked with the Republican Oversight Committee, who has found in a new report alarming deficiencies. Their words, not mine. In documentation and custody of Joe Biden's decision binder. These include instances where his executive actions were executed without written authorization or the president's clear approval. Here's what that means. One of the reasons that Democrats have been able to tread water a little bit longer on the Joe Biden was dead in office situation is they are essentially trying to run out the clock by claiming that nobody cares, nobody knows that they're honestly, as I've heard from one Democrat Strategist waiting on the former president to die so we can no longer testify. Uh, but essentially the idea is that Joe Biden, who wasn't giving executive orders and he wasn't issuing pardons or signing things himself, well, at least he had this special decision binder. The special decision binder that had all of the things he was going to do and some hello Kitty stickers and, and you know, maybe a little bit of soda. It was a little. His binder. He carried it around like an excited sixth grader on their first day of school. Only according to some new Republican Oversight committee documents, Biden didn't have this decision binder. So wait a minute. Joe Biden is not using the decision binder which has the, you know, Joseph Biden's little exciting plan list for today. You know, wake up in the morning shower. Number two, ramble incoherently. Number three, issue a bunch of pardons. Number four, you're napping on Rehoboth Beach. We call lid. Call it a day. That's great. That binder wasn't even in his hands. And then someone else is using his phone to communicate that he wants something pardoned or executive ordered. And then he's not even physically signing the executive order. Who's president? Who's president? Who? Now remember the Biden committee group, crew, whatever, they have been called to testify before the Oversight committee and they all essentially said a bunch of things that were quiet off the record. Nobody's saying anything until now. Now we're only going to be able to play about a minute of this, but just look at some of the sweaty, very sweating former staffers answering these questions. Was the number one issue in the campaign the President's fitness or his age? Did you ever see President Biden in a wheelchair? I do not recall ever seeing President Biden in a wheelchair. And new information now on the people in his inner circle and how the COVID up actually operated. The Republican Oversight Committee has a little full mini documentary on this. It's really good. Unfortunately, just because of time constraints of the show, we're not able to go through it all because there is a media meltdown that is really hilarious. We're going to talk about it here. We got to bring the radio crew back from commercial in about 30 seconds. So allow me to encourage you to tune in one week from tonight for our election night coverage. It is going to be jam packed full, of course, some on the ground interviews from some daily signal teams at some of the victory and defeat parties from Mamdani in New York City. All the way down to governor. Lt. Governor Winsome Earl Sears vs. Abigail Spanberger, Prop 50 in California, Gavin Newsom's big excited dream. You need to tune in with us. We got to bring the radio crew back from commercial. Don't go anywhere. It's the Tony Kenneth cast. It's the Tony Ken had cast on 93 WIBC. I do in fact want to party. Whenever I see the legacy corporate media and then also the new clowns they propped up to be the new media for the Democrats and the leftists, whenever they start having a really rough time, boy, it just puts a smile, a nice snaggletooth smile on my face. And right off the top of the bat, MSNBC's Lawrence O'. Donnell. You don't know who that is? It doesn't matter. He's some evening night host who thinks that he's Walter Cronkite, but instead said he probably could fit in for Bozo the Clown. He's very, very angry. Why is he very mad? Because more people are tuning into Scott Jennings, who's a friend of the show, phenomenal radio host over on the Salem network, and of course most famously on Abby Phillips show as essentially the main character. Over on CNN, MSNBC's Lawrence O' Donnell is throwing a hissy fit because no one is watching his show. And now CNN eagerly pays a Trump supporter to lie on CNN every day and night for Donald Trump. CNN did this during the first Trump presidential campaign and presidency. CNN regularly paid Trump supporters to lie about Trump on cnn. But the CNN regime then realized that was a mistake. I love this. I love it so much. There's a couple of reasons. Number one, the bitterness from an old man who no one is interested in watching strayed into my veins. I've had this happen. I am aware of conversations by those who, who I've sat across the microphone from, who are complaining that people are tuning into the Tony Kenned cast now. I think the world of a lot of my colleagues out there, including competitors. You know, I, I have, I have been told a time or two that our top news intense video style bears a shocking resemblance to some competitors. I have been told that, you know, we have a lot in common with some commentary. You don't get mad at others success, you just endeavor with your team to do better. And I'm constantly trying to encourage our team to make the show better for you, but you're not going to catch me getting on television or radio or the broadcast and going, boy, that Benny Johnson, he just gets out there and he gets so many interviews. I'm so mad about it. No, I think that Benny Johnson, although he is what some would call a competitor, he's a very good host at times. He has some great interviews. In a way, that's a lot better than how I do some interviews. There's a reason that we rotate the Ruthless guys and Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, we rotate in some. Megyn Kelly. There are so many excellent hosts out there to get out there and just whine and complain. People are watching Scott Jennings instead of you. This is one of the reasons why Ya Beta, get some protein and some testosterone. My goodness, they make pills for that now. Gavin Newsom, speaking of a desperate need of testosterone pills, Gavin Newsom, he's out here very, very angry. Why? Well, not because of competitors. He's very angry that Joe Rogan. You, you, you know, the, the, the, the Joe Rogan, the. Oh, pull it up, Jamie. Yeah, that kind. Well, he's, he's very, very upset that Joe Rogan won't have him on as the governor of California. And so here he is complaining on his own TV interview. Joe Rogan won't have me on or doesn't invite me over to play Nintendo. Kevin, use him. Go. He won't. Look, he hasn't. For years and years he's been attacking me, and it's one way. And he won't have me on. He's consistently not at me on, by the way. I'm moving on. I have no interest. You're done with him. Joe Rogan's the. I'm moving on. That's why I'm taking this moment on this. The story is with Michelson over on CNN to whine about Joe Rogan, by the way. That's very disrespectful to a host, by the way. I don't care what network you're on. Some guy comes on and goes, well, I'd really like to be on this show, but I'm moving on. He's playing Hilary Duff's. So yesterday in the background Facebook of podcasting, he was sitting across one of the brightest minds in podcasting right now. The guy was in the mic, and there are a lot of people at the mic doing extraordinary things. Thank you. Yeah. In podcast, Joe Rogan's got a pretty big audience still. You know what? Look, you can even see the host here is trying. He's trying to be nice. He's trying to be nice. He's trying to facilitate. It's just. It's so bush league stuff. Go ahead, Producer Nick. The greatest to have ever done it. Yeah, he's got a pretty big audience still. Again, I'm. You don't have to agree with anything, you know, everything a host does. There are a lot of people who maybe I disagree with. I'd gladly, you know, take a guest spot on their show. And there are others that I disagree with who I have do regular TV panels with. You know, Mike Leon, we, I believe, pitch some kind of a weekend show idea over on the NTD side of things. Kind of a Hannity and Coleman style show. Media is a kind of a fun atmosphere like that. But the right wing has embraced this new media, this podcasting, and said, we're not going to cancel you for being a little bit different than the rest of us. We're not going to. When I went on Tim Cast and we started talking about aliens, Tim Pool, do you really think that I wanted to sit down and like, talk about aliens for an hour? Stop shaking your head yes. No, not particularly. But you get into it, you have fun. And I ended up enjoying myself by the end of it. I would. I know you would, Producer Nick. And that's just one of the parts of media the Democrats haven't figured out how to have fun on podcasts either. Liberal podcaster Jennifer Welch. And yes, we are higher than Jennifer Welch in the ratings. But of course, you already knew that. She's very mad that the Democrats, the establishment, the Dem establishment, as she says, they're not getting on board with the it's good Charlie Kirk was assassinated routine. So here's the left's new media. Let's. Let's see how many flies they get with this pot of vinegar. Finally, if you think this Zoron thing is happening just in New York and you think people are waking up only in New York City, you're mistaken. Look at this clip of a wine mom at the no Kings march. Play the clip. Bird's name was Charlie Kirkman. Yeah. Him is horrible. Horrible. Him's horrible. Billy Kirk is horrible. Yes. I'm glad he's not here. You're glad he's dead? Yes. Why would you say something like that, man? He was horrible on the campuses, the college campuses. Horrible person. You know what? I do the exact same thing. Would you be glad if I would die? Maybe. I'd have to think about it. You should be ashamed of yourself. Be ashamed of yourself. Her friend just said she'd be happy if I died. I think we. So listen up, Democratic establishment. You can either jump on board with this. Oh, I'm so sorry. Didn't Mean to let that word slip onto the, the air. Sorry about that, Allison. I hope you caught that one on the dump button fingers. Fingers be. Be they crossed that that said. Yeah, that, that's enough. That's enough. She eventually sends the. Spends the rest of the clip saying, well, you know, you need to get on board with this, Democrats, because this is, this is where it's going. This is what's happening. Radio crew, we're gonna send you off to the commercial so I can pay penance for letting a naughty word slip onto radio airwaves. It's the Tony Kinit cast. Oh, she caught it. Way to go, Al. Thanks. We'll see you guys after the commercial break. Allison over at the WIBC board has done more to keep me from unnecessary fines because I don't watch some of the clips closely enough, more than any other person combined. So thank you. The Democrats think that this is the move to get more murderous, to get more angry, to get more outraged at absolutely everything. And how do we, how do we actually find our way into this? Well, it comes down to a committee hearing today in the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee, Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Political Violence. So we're going to get to that a little bit in the next segment. There's a couple of other breaking news pieces. You know what? Actually, I changed my mind. We're going to get into it now because that's just how important it is. So according to some of the clips played today from Senator Cory Booker, guys called to testify like Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire, who's of course been the target of some pretty severe political violence. Right now in our country, we have more individuals who are amping up the idea that violence is the appropriate response to any political disagreement than we have had in a very, very long time in this country. And obviously, you know, we can talk about Charlie Kirk. We certainly have. We can talk about the other instances, the dozens, if not hundreds. We've covered those extensively on the show. But Democrat Senator Cory Booker gets in front of the rest of the committee and he announces that actually it's Republicans who are the bad guys right now because they refuse to condemn violence. Here's, here's Cory Booker going for the mold and accurately describe a problem and do it without partisan rhetoric or seeking to score partisan points. We will not solve this problem. I, I have a lot of colleagues that are wiser and more full of grace. I, I'm a big believer about faith that before you tell me about your religion, first show it to me and how you treat other people. If you ascribe to the beliefs of, of my faith of Jesus Christ. The Democrats always do that. They hate the actual teachings from the New Testament from Jesus Christ. They despise the teachings of the Catholic Church which has maintained a pretty moral consistency throughout the last 2,000 years of the Catholic Church over in Protestant land over your local Indy Fundy Baptist. We Bible thumpers would say supporting abortion. Yeah, killing children, not exactly one of those top tier things you should be okay with. In context there, he's secretly being combative with Michael. Of course he is. Because Michael Knowles being the Catholic at the table who is very open about his faith, of course with Charlie Kirk who made his faith in Christ his relationship with Christ front and center. Cory Booker is making the case that if you go out there and you say left wing violence is a growing problem and again, don't take just Republicans words for it, there are left wing outlets who have written extensive articles in the last couple of months in the extreme rise even despite weighted ridiculous Cato studies that have been debunked on the rise in left wing violence. And, and Booker's trying to, to I guess whistle past the, the graveyard here. Not to put too fine a point on it, it God show grace. And I still remember bemoaning to Tim Kaine about the problems we have in our growing hostile, degrading and demeaning political climate. And he said we're going to get back to this goofball in a second. We got to bring the radio crew back from commercial. It's the Tony Kenned cast. Don't go anywhere accurately describe a problem and do it without rhetoric on 93 WIBC. So Cory Booker, he's taking his glasses off, he's getting out the angry eyes because he's lecturing individuals who are targets directly of political violence from the left. Today in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Cory Booker's mad that Republicans, conservatives, Christians have pointed out there are cases of left wing political violence that are openly encouraged. I remind you we just played a clip clip from the new media of the left saying that the celebrating political assassination is the move. And Cory Booker takes the time to go after Republicans who claim that you know what, maybe left wing political violence has become a bit of a problem here was Michael Knowles very apt response to Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey. You know, I think Senator Booker made a good point just a moment ago when he said we have to self examine, we have to be introspective. And you know, I can't help but think of a line today. Jay Jones has the vision, commitment and integrity to keep families safe and make sure every Virginian gets a fair shake in the justice system. Now, what Michael Knowles is referencing and why this matter is related to Cory Booker is that Booker goes through this entire diatribe of why we all need to self examine and why I would call out violence on my own side if I saw it. Cory Booker has endorsed J. Jones for the Attorney General position in the Commonwealth of Virginia. You know, the guy who in several text messages indicated that he wanted a former political opponent dead, shot twice, his wife and kids dead, breeding little fascists as he described them, and also in other videos and explanations in front of the public said that he, you know, if, if you know, Black Lives Matter needs a couple of dead police officers, then so be it. That's a good thing. Cory Booker has not withdrawn his endorsement of J. Jones. So political violence and rhetoric for that nature, that's totally fine for Cory Booker. That's what Knowles is calling out here. I'll be working every day to ensure Jay wins this race. That's the endorsement of Senator Booker for a man who would seek to be the Attorney General of Virginia. This is a man who, if people have not been reading the news, has called for a Republican to be murdered for his children to be murdered, for the children to die in their mother's arms in order to persuade the, the Republican to change his policy views. And a man who says that he would urinate on the graves of multiple Republicans. Senator Booker, in the spirit of introspection, is standing by this endorsement. So I suppose I would invite. Perhaps I should have looked because Senator Booker has left the room and I. Yes, of course. So Democrats are again sprinting away, sprinting away from the public right now because the public is no longer buying it. They're no longer buying the moral tut tutting. I said this on a, on a media hit today. I was told that, well, Republicans, that Trump needs to get the Republicans in the room to sit down and negotiate and they just need to care. I was told that the left were the bleeding heart liberals who were all for the poor downtrodden all of a sudden. They think leverage is more important than the snap benefits that they want more than anyone. You're supposed to see Republicans that are calling for cuts on entitlement programs. Instead, Republicans fully funded the entitlement programs to the Biden levels and Democrats said no because they want external funding to illegal immigrants and then admitted it. And now they're running on the political violence issue. And it gets worse because you know, of course, it gets worse. I've got four minutes or three minutes left in broadcast time itself on the radio and TV side of things, but there's always more news. Additional documents from Operation Arctic Frost under the Biden administration, the Biden FBI and the DOJ investigated conservatives and conservative media for being friendly to the Trump team. That's it. They investigated them, sent people after them, and new documents reveal it's much, much, much worse than we had originally anticipated. And it was already pretty bad as far as that's concerned. So if you're watching over on the live stream or on one of our TV syndicates, what you'll find is an email that was released today. The email says Blank is a colleague of Ed Corrigan, just a conservative. According to Blank, Ed Corrigan is pro Putin and anti Biden. Blank, along with Blank colleague at the redacted. Consider what Corrigan is doing, quote, treason. That's an FBI internal communication. So someone ordering the FBI to consider just this conservative guy treasonous. Treasonous actions because they say there's no statement. I've looked through Corrigan statements. Nothing that's just pro Vladimir Putin directly. Just, just being against the President of the United States politically is enough to be labeled treasonous. Blank, Redacted believes that Corrigan and his boss, Mark Meadows are engaging in willful criminal activity. According to redacted, Corrigan has this number of properties at which he wants to build up infrastructure to train people for civil war. There's no evidence of this whatsoever. Just accusing. Oh, well, I'm, I'm, I'm told by, you know, Susie over at accounting that Corrigan actually wants to jump in and incite civil war. And they use this as a pretext to go after all kinds of people around the country, including friend of the show and just a personal friend of mine for a long time, C.J. pearson, just a young kid who went on Fox News when he was like 11 or 12 years old and just said that he didn't like Obama's race politics. CJ Pearson got thrown on the list. He would have been 19 years old when the Biden Department of Justice got the FBI to investigate him. Why? Just. Oh, just for, you know, supporting the Trump administration. That's all you want to whine to me about, the weaponization of the justice system. Here is the full target list of, of key individuals in one section of Arctic Frost, just released today. And this is only F through N. It includes people like James Fitzpatrick, Alicia Gunther, Sebastian Gorka, Hope Hicks, Cassidy Hutchinson, Brian Jack, Greg Jacob, Keith Kellogg, Ed Martin, who's of course now actually in the administration. Funny how that happens. Dick Morris, Jordan Moskowitz, Maggie Mulvaney, Peter Navarro. Just, just going after individuals because they supported the Trump administration. Other insane news out of the day, according to andy no, a 19 year old TPUSA student leader at Colorado University Boulder was beaten by a person in, in, in in full black using a stick after Antifa put out a hit list. The organization that totally doesn't exist. The antifa social media accounts and telegram group chats put out a hit list accusing the student leader at a TPUSA chapter of being a Nazi. The Antifa release hit lists encourage members or sympathizers to take direct action. And someone did. As David McIntosh, president of Club for Growth, friend of the show, has put several times at this point, I think it's probably the most apropos. Antifa now putting hits out on college students. How is a designated terrorist group able to organize on campus? How is that happening? So the FBI in the Biden administration went after Catholics, parents, school choice advocates and people who liked President Trump. Radio hosts, show hosts. And on the other side now, no calls for investigation of Antifa putting out hit lists on campuses. Radio crew, we got to send you to the end of the show. We'll continue on the live stream for a little bonus. Tonus, it's the Tony Kenneth cast. It's just, it's just truly, truly insane that after all of this time you and I and the rest of the United States was lectured over why we needed to support democracy and the institutions and we need to put all of our faith and trust. And then as soon as Trump got into office again and said, all right, now it's accountability time, we were told that he was lying. There were none of these things happening. If they were like in fema, they're just one off incidents of they just magically, spontaneously combusted into the open. But it's Trump who's weaponizing the Department of Justice and now all of these documents coming out, out. It's either that or whoa. Well, Antifa didn't. Well, they're not even a real organization. That's just a conspiracy theory of sorts. Okay, last on this just insanity that continues to permeate the present news cycle, Zoran Mandani, another young progressive who refuses to denounce any kind of political violence, who refuses to denounce the phrasing, globalize, the intifada, the international jihad of anyone who is not radically Islamic that has resulted in the massive genocides of Christians of moderate Muslims in places like Nigeria that Zoran Mandani, who also lied about his aunt being on the subway in a hijab and getting dirty, looks after the September 11 terror attack. The true victim, Zoran Mandani's non existent aunt. Well, now footage has emerged of him in 2023 making one of the most classic brain worm pro Hamas takes of all time. You need to hear that. I didn't believe this is exactly what he was saying. You know, people post a clip and they try to paraphrase what's being said, and it's not exactly said. We try to avoid that here on tkc. Zoran Hamdani claiming the NYPD is owned and trained by the Israeli Defense Force. Here you go.
Rob Bluey
The importance for me of international solidarity is that it takes me out of.
Tony Kennett
The American political landscape and reminds me just how tame some of the things are that I'm actually calling for. And it reminds me of the necessity.
Rob Bluey
Of grounding ourselves in the struggles as.
Tony Kennett
Opposed to the fights around the struggle. So he's making an isolationist case here that all of the international groups that he likes should be allowed to come here and recruit terrorist sympathizers and, you know, stir up acts of vandalism and assault on university campuses and burn down cities. That's totally fine. But if it's an international group on the other side, then it's really, really bad and awful and he hates it. But then he gets to the NYPD because, you know, he says he wants to defund the police, then he says he doesn't. Now you hear what he actually thinks of him.
Rob Bluey
For anyone to care about these issues, we have to make them hyperloma.
Tony Kennett
We have to make clear that when the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it's been laced by the idf. When the boot of the New York Police Department, the NYPD is on your neck. Not if. When the NYPD boot is on your neck, it is laced with the Israeli Defense Force, the idf. In a world where the Jews somehow control the New York Police Department with bagels and yarmulkes, one man, one failed rapper, is all that stands between New York and the boot of the Jews. Zoran Mandani is really embarrassing. Good. Sweet Moses in a river on the Nile. I mean, just. I can't even imagine why. By the way, this isn't some crazy thing he said back in the day, 2023, essentially just the other day in politics, leading the New York City mayoral election. Good stuff. Great, great work, Democrats. Definitely not in complete Crisis now, what's the future for the Republican Party? On the other side of things, I have made a kind of prediction that in 2028, you're going to see a Vance and Rubio ticket. And I've had individuals who have passionately informed me that, no, Vance and Rubio, they hate each other secretly because Rubio is a neocon and Vance is an isolationist populist. And they're gonna duke it out and they're gonna get out there and they're gonna fight to the death in a big primary. And I've said, no, that's, that's not what is going to happen. I'm. I'm afraid to tell you that's very likely not to be the case. And why do I say that? Well, here's President Trump on Air Force One saying, if they get together, Vance and Rubio, they'll be unstoppable.
Rob Bluey
Well, we have great people.
Tony Kennett
I don't have to get into that, but we have one of them standing right here.
Rob Bluey
We have J.D. obviously, the Vice president is great.
Tony Kennett
Marco's great. I think. I'm not sure if anybody would run against us. I think if they have a form to group the, the. Excuse me, the caption is wrong. It says would run against us. He says run against those two together would be unstoppable. As a group, they would be unstoppable. I really do. So you see Vance behind him, who's. Or, excuse me, Rubio behind him, who's smiling and nodding along. That. That is, in fact, the future. That is Rubio as the President of the Senate, the Vice President of the United States, and then Vance as the next President of the United States. It's just. It's just the truth. It's the case here. And it is, in fact, a balance that the Republican Party desperately needs. Rubio has a little bit, a smidgen of that establishment in him, that kind of career politician, understanding that sometimes you need to use the moderates to undercut the Democrats. Vance is very pragmatic and populist. Rubio is kind of anti technocratic in a sense. Vance is very pro technocracy in a sense. Rubio is very free market. Vance is very. Hang on a second. Let's not get carried away. It is, in fact, a very good thing. It is. And it is what the Republican Party needs. There are people online who are going to tell you right now, the Republican Party has never been more divided. Yeah, online. And kind of the last gasp of the Twitter, the Facebook and the Instagram and the YouTube bots. Yeah, there's, there's a lot of divide according to the polling data, according to a lot of these elections that we're going to be covering a week from today. Republican Party is really not that disunified, Not a discordant, scattered, shattered, splattered, who knows? I'll say this, though. There's a scene from spongebob squarepants in which there is a bubble, butterfly in a bubble that they're terrified of and they're running away from it. And in the process of claiming this, this butterfly in a bubble under the sea is a big monster. They end up destroying the city. And as the city is Bikini Bottom is on fire. Curtis Sliwa, or excuse me, Curtis Silwa and Andrew Cuomo are going to look at each other when Mandani ends up winning that election if the trends don't reverse right now and look at each other and go, Curtis, Andrew, we saved the city. As buildings crumble behind them. Pragmatic policy right now at the federal level is working. It's paying dividends. And I'm not just talking Argentinian pesos. The United States foreign policy right now is boxing in G. There's internal strife now at the Kremlin, Military officials concerned over some possible kind of a coup attempt. Attempt. The United States geopolitical adversaries are having a rough time. Mark Carney, he's having a rough time up there. Eh? Alberta is getting ready to maybe cut them loose from the maple syrup. And by that I mean oil. You've got some interesting stuff going on because you've actually got a get things done administration. And the rest of the Republican Party needs to take note on a personal note, just as a fun fact here, the Indiana Republican Party, where I am here in eastern central Indiana, where we're broadcasting from, from, although the rest of my colleagues are in D.C. right now, the Indian Republican Party has found its cojones and is acting like a real party that's competitive and not sleepy for the first time. And I can't even tell you how long. It's incredible. We're beginning a redistricting effort and there are some that are complaining and pearl clutching, but there are a lot of people who are getting engaged, who are running candidates that are actually set to like win elections and get some things done at the state and the national level. It's kind of wild to see and it's a good thing. It really is a good thing. So I do want to take this time here at the end of the show to thank PD Dunn through a super chat in for $2. Very kind. We don't ask you guys to send money to the show to Super Chat or subscribe to the like a channel membership. We do appreciate those who do. It's very kind of you. It's not required for you to submit a question for mail time or get a shout out or anything like that. Anyway, P.D. dunn says, keep up the great work. Thank you very much. So then from Another question from PigPug, 214 asks. Here's a better question. Who will be the first senators to cave on the shutdown and get the Senate to 60 votes on the shutdown because they are going to cave? I would have to say that it's probably, as you pointed out, the two senators from Georgia, Ossoff and Warnock, because they were two of the Democrat senators who voted in favor of. Of giving pay to U.S. troops during the shutdown. Cortez, Masto, of course, Fetterman, Angus King. They're already in that boat, believe it or not. I wouldn't be surprised if Cory Booker leans that way if he senses an opportunity to be the moderate heading into the election. Cory Booker, although he's constipated, he's not so far out there when it comes to reading the room. Right now, there are very few Democrat senators who don't dress like your local H Vac repairman that you know from church, that being Senator John Fetterman. There aren't too many Democrats out there who have taken his line, and there's. There's kind of an open floor for it. Gavin Newsom's crazy. JB Pritzker, struggling with diabetes as he does. He's, he's, he's currently going through a real one. Who else is there? Nick? Andy Beshear has reiterated his commitment to guys in girls locker rooms. The governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Well, actually, he says it doesn't exist. You know. Oh, the sexual assaults in Loudoun County, Virginia, they never even happened. Oh, gee. I mean, what. Jared Polis of Colorado has the charisma of aids. Um, who else do they have? Tim Walls is the worst. Kamala Hare. She's here. AOC yeah, AOC she's out there. She's energized. Of course, I remind you all of the brilliance of drinkable air. The great Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and why she should be president. But we must remember, in a time such as this, we are not the crazy ones. Yeah. You know, the best campaign promise that I can say, I promise I'm not crazy. I didn't key your car. If anybody New York City drinking, it's gonna be her. It was going to be. No experience. The campaign drunk. Every Democrat primary needs the campaign drunk. He had Hillary Clinton with the Quaalutes. And I mean, Russia's not covering for him as much as they used to. The. The long arm of usaids. And then. You're right. You had. You had Kamala Harris, the. The solitaire drunk of the White House. And I mean, Windows 95, the live.
Rob Bluey
Stream where she made a marg.
Tony Kennett
Oh, yeah. Yep. AOC is. Is quite the mixologist. Good. She was a bartender. Yeah. Two shots of vodka. I hear you, AOC Okay. Who else do they have? I'm being serious. Booker is going to run. You've got from Connecticut, Chris Murphy. He's. He might give it a go, although he's really embarrassing. There's going to be some wild card. Maybe we're going to be smart. It'd be Shapiro. I'd say Jasmine. Yeah. I mean, Josh Shapiro would be smart. It would, but I. There's. There's too much of the Jew hatred on the left. They're not going to be able to run them. By the way, I should mention regarding Jasmine Crockett getting out there and maybe posing some kind of a threat, but it's far more likely that she gets boxed out immediately. Here's Kaitlan Collins on CNN today, fact checking her and Crockett having no idea what to do. Do you believe this will be the week that Congress comes to an agreement here? I have no idea. I mean, you started off talking about the fact that the president is in Japan. The president has time to do everything.
Rob Bluey
But what he needs do to.
Tony Kennett
To focus on.
Rob Bluey
In fact, we heard the press secretary say that his main priority is the ballroom.
Tony Kennett
The ballroom that no one asked for. The ballroom that requires him to destroy.
Rob Bluey
Historic pieces of the White House. And so it doesn't seem like he's interested.
Tony Kennett
And that context of the comment from Caroline Levitt. She was asked if the president was working on any other renovations when it came to the White House. And she was saying his focus was the ballroom. But. But to your point, about what the president said. Yeah. She's not prepared. So to answer the question on. On who the next senators are to flake to. To circle back. As Jen Psaki would say, Cory Booker is kind of likely if he gets that dog in him to run for president. Maybe Jean Shaheen, maybe senator of New Hampshire. Ha. I want to be careful. Maybe Alyssa Slotkin. She has presidential aspirations, too. But it's the wine mom aspirations for Michigan and the political sense from Michigan is about astute as a piece of roadkill's ability to cross safely. So I, I, I don't, I don't really see her. Maybe Jackie Rosen, Senator Jackie Rosen will probably end up flaking. And if Jack, whatever Jackie Rosen does, Klobuchar is looking over her shoulder like Mr. Bean and like writing down the answers. So I think those will probably end up being your flakes. Could I be wrong? Yeah, absolutely. I'm not endorsing that one with an official Tony Kennett cast prediction unless I'm right, in which case you'll never hear the end of it. So that said, mark your calendars tonight. We'll still be getting into the beginning of our coverage for our election night off year shenanigans. Probably going to be one of the biggest off year election nights that we've seen in a very long time. The Virginia gubernatorial race and a lot of the Virginia Commonwealth kind of staffing races are toss ups at this point. New Jersey's gubernatorial race, also in toss up territory, depending on the margin of error polls. You've got The California Prop 50, which is not guaranteed anything at all. Gavin Newsom's very mad about Department of Justice observers. There's a lot of various small elections that are going to be considered bellwethers that some stuffy person on some network you've never heard of is going to waltz in front of the camera the next day and say some lukewarm stuff. So don't settle for lukewarm stuff. Come to the Tony Kinnid cast. We'll have people there. That's right. We'll have Jared Stepman in New York City talking about how things are already burning down.

This episode of the Tony Kinnett Cast lays bare what the host sees as the self-inflicted wounds of Senate Democrats as they lose the messaging war during the government shutdown, with SNAP recipients and unions turning on them days before important off-year elections. Features include: admissions from Senate Democrats about wielding government benefits as “leverage”; a fact-checking takedown of the “emergency funds” narrative; inner, visible panic among Democratic leaders; polling that favors Republicans; overwhelming liberal media frustration; and revelations that, under Biden, the FBI went after conservatives simply for dissent. The show closes with predictions for upcoming elections and the future of the Republican party—plus a few zingers at political rivals for good measure.
If you haven't listened, this summary captures all the major arguments, moments, and Kinnett’s signature style—minus any distractions from ads or non-content sections.
