Tony Kennett, host of the Tony Kennett cast.

Let's get down to business. You're listening to the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WIBC on CYTV here on the Daily Signal. Good evening and welcome to the Tony Kennett cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated first on 93 WIBC. We've got a lot of news to dig into this evening from the three most important things to the Democrats that would be pointless social causes, snap government entitlement programs, and then last but not leastly, really bitter old angry liberal wine drunk women. We'll get to all of those things in a moment. However, I would be remiss if we didn't get right down to the most crucial story, this one involving, you guessed it, Washington, D.C. district Court's own Judge James Boasberg. You remember Judge James Boasberg, the man who thought that he could issue injunctions out like a Waffle House friar issues out hash Browns at 7:30 in the morning. That Judge James Boasberg, the man who randomly picked his name out of a seven person hat weekend after weekend after weekend after weekend for emergency injunction duty against the Trump administration. Let me tell you, first of all, if you're picking your name out of a hat consistently in a seven person draw, you need to like start taking up lot casting as a living. I don't even think Jonah could pull better lots from that when he was saying, you know, he's the boat's sinking for some reason, it's gotta be him. So beating the odds for God's impressive, Nick. Almost as good as J.B. pritzker's blackjack career.
- [01:49]
Yeah.
- [01:50]
Yeah. I mean with odds that good, he could run for the governor of Illinois and squirrel away his millions under James. James Bond level 1.4 million in blackjack. James Boasberg. Why are we talking about this goober? Well, according to a new whistleblower document from Senator Chuck Grassley. Again, I am for a conversation on age limits, term limits, but I'm putting an exemption up for Chuck Grassley. That man has a personal vendetta against anyone who hides documents from the American people, especially those that go after the rights of Americans. Well, he was back again like Slim Shady. Just hair a little bit grayer in front of the American people today with this particular announcement on Operation Arctic Frost from the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the Biden presidency. I've recently been informed by Verizon that at least 11 members with Verizon accounts were affected. That includes a hard line for Senator Cruz's office and a staffer cell phone for former Senator Lefler. Now, why. Why is this important? We were just told, promised, lectured in the last week and a half.
- [03:06]
Oh.
- [03:06]
That the FBI wasn't actually tapping the phones. They were just tracking Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. They were just, you know, following around Bill Hagerty of Tennessee. No, there wasn't any phone tapping. Now Verizon comes forward and says, did we tap their phone? Good. It's. It's wild to see every single time there was an allegation that is made clearly the Biden administration was directly targeting Republican senators for any actual genuine crime. No, because they simply didn't go out there and say, Joe Biden handily won the election and Donald Trump deserves to be sent to the ninth circle of Hell With Hitler and the tenth season of Scrubs. Then that's. That's what needs to. Because they didn't say that they were directly politically targeted by the FBI. And if you, me or Dupree said that in front of the American people. Joe Biden's FBI didn't go after narco terrorists. They didn't go after child predators. They didn't go after serial domestic abusers. They didn't go after guys with MS.13 on their knuckles beating the living crap out of their wife in Maryland. No, they went after you. They went after Catholics, they went after parents, they went after school choice advocates. And if you questioned them, you were an evil, disgusting bigot who. Who was a threat to democracy. And they would tap your phone. Verizon wouldn't let you know, at least AT and T. Who. There's a lot of conspiracy theories, by the way, about ATT and how they have, like, a secret room in every one of their towers that the government has access to. According to these documents, AT&T actually resisted the Biden administration's desire to just go around tapping Ted Cruz's phone. Oh, yeah. Yes. Deep, deep serial plotter Ted Cruz. That one. Mm. Yes. Excellent work, Columbo. So the Biden administration, or should I say the auto pen administration? Because that scandal is getting a whole hell of a lot worse. The Biden administration's oligarchical crew, which ran the government, weaponized the FBI more so than during the Red Scare in the United States. McCarthy wanted Democrat politicians in this country to have their phones tapped, and he was told no. I will remind you, Watergate involved two confirmed phone taps over political strategy at the dnc. It was considered one of the biggest political scandals in modern US History. This dwarfs that. And I mean, I mean it. This dwarfs that. Like Luxembourg next to continental Russia. This is a major disgusting scandal. And there absolutely should be referrals and prosecutions. These subpoenas going before the House Oversight Committee that were essentially from Jack Smith's Office targeted over 400 Republicans, not counting influencers, and issued over 197 separate subpoenas from Jack Smith's office which targeted the Biden administration's enemies, including records related to Dan Scavino, Stephen Miller, Jared Kushner and Lara Trump. A subpoena to Apple seeking records for and I quote, any member comma, employee of or agent of the legislative branch. So if you had an Apple device, the Biden administration, through Jack Smith was trying to get congressman's record and not just, again, not just hardline Republican congressman's record. Any Republican who had an iPhone, an iPad, a MacBook, still walking around with a shuffle. I don't know. They were requesting records from Apple via subpoena. Records relating to communications with cbs, Fox News, Fox Business newsmax, the Sinclair Network and others. Why? So they could see if there were anything, any pre recordings that don't air. I'm a national correspondent for the Daily Signal, so when I hop on for air, I'm actually on camera a good five to ten minutes before we actually get to the airing of the show. These include representatives and senators. And if you say something in the office, there's a chance that it's picked up by the microphone and recorded. But there is a journalistic efficacy where if we're not on air at the moment, you don't pull things from the hot mic. It's unethical, it's gross, it's not a good thing to do. Biden's administration was trying to find those things. This is the biggest bastardization of justice since the United States used a banana company to overthrow Central American countries. It is the definition of banana republic corruption. And I don't want to hear of the House and the Senate going on about their terror. Oh, we're tariffing Canada. Quick, cancel the vote. No, we need to vote on whether we're going to censure George Santo. I want to see impeachments. Judge James Boasberg, who approved directly many of these subpoenas of representatives and senators that had nothing to do with nothing, just. Just happened to have an R next to their name, chose the elephant over the donkey. They were approved those subpoenas by James Boasberg, who now still gets to walk around The House of the Representatives of the United States Congress has the authority to impeach that man. I've spent way more than I plan to spend on this story, but it is just that bad. Oh yeah, the James Jane Boisberg who let Ray Epps off, you know, the totally not undercover FBI agent. Wink, wink to the third degree. Oh, also, I'm sorry, I forgot this one little extra fact here. Mike Benz is pointing this out to me over on X. The FBI also banned AT&T from telling Ted Cruz that the FBI was spying on his phone because AT&T wanted to let people know, hey, you're being tapped because, you know, personal contract and customer service. I will remind the boys and girls that former President Barack Obama back on June 18th had this to say about journalism and whistleblowing in general. It should spook you.
- [08:59]
O.J. Olake
Part of what we're going to have.
- [09:00]
Tony Kennett
To do is to start experimenting with new forms of journalism. And how do we use social media.
- [09:09]
O.J. Olake
In ways that reaffirm facts, separate facts from opinion? We want diversity of opinion, but we.
- [09:20]
Tony Kennett
Don'T want diversity of facts. That I think is the one of.
- [09:25]
O.J. Olake
The big tasks of social media.
- [09:28]
Tony Kennett
So how are you going to, how are you going to do that? How are you going to accomplish that?
- [09:31]
O.J. Olake
By the way, it will require some.
- [09:33]
Tony Kennett
Government, I believe some government regulatory constraints around some of these business models, in a way, of course. Applause at the Connecticut forum. And then he says, in a way that's consistent with the First Amendment. Yeah, uh huh. So the same government who's happy to tap your phone, track you, lock you up based on nothing, throw you in solitary confinement for a misdemeanor. Oh, totally trust them to also run the media that reports on them. Everything's good there, boys and girls. Nothing to see here. And oh, by the way, Obama and Biden's administrations, pure as the driven snow. And all of the judges they were appointing. Radio crew, we got to send you to commercial before I get my wrist smacked by not obeying commercial rules. It's the Tony Kinnid cast. We're going to continue in the meantime on the livestream. Now, in the meantime, other fantastic news. SNAP benefits are threatening to just break the Democrat party in half. I mean, over their knee like a strand of spaghetti that just got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. SNAP benefits, the entitlement program formerly known as food stamps. Tens of millions of Americans on this program are now set to lose their ability to access EBT cards and buying food again. You know, in contrast to the classic Eminem song Now, they do, in fact, buy diapers, you know, sodas, snacks, drinks, along with a lot of other crucial foods. I said this today on the air, by the way. Two things can be true at once. First of all, there are far too many people in this country who are on SNAP and who are on ebt. We are the only country on planet Earth whose food stamp assistance program. The number one concern is obesity, and that is normally when it's funded. The conversation is, well, the kind of foods in these food deserts. Oh, no, people can only shop for food at the Dollar General. And it's, it's Dollar General's responsibility, since you can use EBT there to carry more healthy fruits and vegetables, since Dollar General owns all of about three and a half refrigerated trucks to transport those things. And usually the only crops that are grown next to a Dollar General are either corn or weed, depending on the part of the country you're in. But, oh, sure, it's their responsibility. That's number one. Number two, the issue regarding SNAP benefits is the entire country has confirmed at this point that individuals are losing access to those benefits because Democrats have consistently refused to pass any kind of a continuing resolution. Please do not take my word for it. Representative Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico thought that she could just walk right past. Even Jake Tapper reading the writing on the wall here and doesn't let her get away with this kind of rhetoric that, well, it's Trump and Republicans and actually, we're really trying. We're trying just, just shooting upon a star. Should the Democratic senators from New Mexico, your home state, vote to open the government so that these SNAP funds are not at risk?
- [12:24]
Let me be clear. The administration is choosing to starve American children with money.
- [12:33]
I'm so sorry. We're going to talk about this in a second. Notice what she looks like. Notice what she looks like. The blonde hair, the Botox. It's the same. I'll explain why this matters in a minute. But anyway, Republicans are trying to starve.
- [12:48]
With money they already have. Appropriate.
- [12:52]
I'm not applauding. I'm not applauding their tactics in the White House.
- [12:57]
This is a choice by the White House.
- [12:59]
This is also. Congresswoman. This is also a choice by Senate Democrats to not vote to open the government. Yes, it is. I understand why they're doing it. They're doing it because they want Medicaid funds restored. They're doing it because they want Obamacare premiums to be extended past the end of the year. I understand. The reason.
- [13:17]
I. Let me Just be clear. The money for contingency plans is.
- [13:21]
I love this so much. So the Democrats are trying to, as hard as they can to intone that there's this secret super contingency pocket. So Dave Ramsey encourages people to be on an envelope system. So, you know, you get your paycheck, you put a certain amount of money into different envelopes so that if you have to go to the grocery, you pull money from the groceries envelope, you go get gas, it's from the gas envelope. The idea that in different federal agencies There is a U.S. department of Agriculture contingency envelope specifically for SNAP. No, there's not. You would have to walk down the street to pull money from the Department of Energy or the Department of Education or the Department of Good Vibes and Hot Times in order to get money for the U.S. department of Agriculture and SNAP. And you can't do that. Federal courts have already set very specific precedent on this. And again, as we've already talked about, even Democrats are struggling to get out ahead of this and, and make any kind of effort. Before we bring the radio crew back to commercial or from commercial, this is going to spill over into the election now that's happening on Tuesday. This off year election is going to be one of the first years that I believe you see large groups stay home because they do not feel as though things like their SNAP benefits are being provided for. This is a crucial issue that will have a death knoll to ring for the Democrat Party if they're not careful. And you know, of course the white women that are a problem as well. We'll get to that. We got to bring the Raider crew back from commercial. Don't go anywhere. It's the Tony Kenneth cast. This is the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WYBC. Snap benefits are going to be a serious issue for the Democrat Party because the Democrat Party is supposed to deliver on entitlement programs. That's their thing. That's their thing. Before they were all excited about LGBTQ2IA8765309. You know, before they were hot and bothered over the idea that, well, you have to make sure every single child is in a normal classroom or else that's really mean to the child with a learning disability. Before they were all hot and bothered over being offended on behalf of black people or brown people, whatever a brown person is, or Latinx, you know, those kinds of terms. Democrat women who all strangely seem to look the same. I'll be a lot kinder. Essentially, in the current Democrat landscape right now, the Democrats always been a very demographic focused party and they've coalition built aggressively since the Obama years. So originally there was supposed to be this multi ethnic coalition that worked together to increase entitlement programs and to cut down on what they saw as an infringement to their rights to live at the expense of others, whether that's universal health care, whether that's reducing the scope of the second Amendment because they feel threatened by firearms, those kinds of things. The issue is that they have not been able to deliver on what they have promised. For example, the Hispanic community. In the Democrat party's efforts to stand up for the Hispanic community, they have undercut the Hispanic communities of the United States, resulting in a large group of people tired of being pandered to and treated condescendingly to while still being expected to be, as Democrats have said, a bunch of crop picker hotel cleaners. And then they have gone over to populist movements in the Republican Party and the Democrats cannot understand who the aggressors are that keep offending different portions of the coalition. And I'm here to tell you it is the wine drunk, middle aged, old, bitter, angry white women in their party. It, it is that crew. They all seem to look one of about two ways. Either they have short gray hair and like really, really thick glasses or they have long blonde hair and the Botox is just way overdone and reason we were laughing. Back in the commercial break is Melanie Stansbury, a representative from New Mexico whom I've really never heard of before. On with Jake Tapper should the Democratic senators from New Mexico. She looks like every other single one of them. She does. And was the first thing that she does, she comes out weaponizing one of the three things that build up the personality of the Democrat party's last core demographic of the actual bedrock kind of establishment Democrats, those who make up the consistent Democrat advocates, who come out to all the protests, who go to all the PTA meetings and the book clubs and all of that. The most active on social media is old liberal white women, middle aged liberal white women, to be fair. And she, the first tactic she uses is this scandalized emotion, the audacity. This is what the Democrats are trying right now. The Republicans are trying to starve children and kick puppies. Oh no. And Jake Tapper's like, you're ridiculous. It doesn't matter. Now the problem that liberal white women have is that all of their strategies, so there's the always the audacity, their victimhood complex. There's the faux authority, their fake authority. They have on kindness and goodness. That never seems to last long at all. And then no accountability ever. There has never been a single Democrat, middle aged, liberal white woman who has ever been accountable for anything ever, ever. Period. None. From Hillary Clinton on forward. Ain't none of them had that ever happen to him. Now, the issue is that they can't really communicate any kind of authenticity anymore. Used to, there was this idea that if you were an adult in the United States and you were educated, if you actually had something to kind of offer at the table intellectually, you could use complete sentences, then you were just given a basic amount of respect. And if you used kindness as a lever, this was a Christian country where you could really gain some basic respect on that. They can't communicate that anymore. Case in point, Rosa DeLauro and some other angry, bitter white lady. I have no idea who this congresswoman is. They recorded themselves a little hop and bop, kind of a reel to talk about starvation with the music because, you know, connect with the youths. If he wanted to, he would. Hey, it's Congresswoman Angie Craig here.
- [19:45]
I'm the ranking member of the House Committee on Agriculture, and I am here with Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, and I'm the ranking member on the Appropriations Committee.
- [19:55]
To be fair, I know Rosa DeLauro's hair is purple, not the short gray kind, but you know what I'm talking about. There it is. You have the long blonde hair, and you have the short gray or colored hair. It's always the same. It's all. It's one of the two. So they're going to come out and say, oh, he's starving everyone. If he wanted to, we could. It's really starting to get tiresome for their own party. The new freshest face that they've pulled forward. Her name is Jennifer Welch. We played a clip of her on the show yesterday, the new moral high ground. She played a video on her podcast that we consistently beat the living crap of in the ratings, that she was excited that Charlie Kirk was assassinated and said that all of the establishment Democrats need to get on the train of celebrating political assassinations and wanting people that disagree with you dead. Otherwise, they're coming for you like they come for maga. Her words, just a little less cussing in them. Well, she turned around today and went after Riley Gaines. Riley Gaines, the college athlete who has advocated against men in women's sports because women get hurt because women are unfairly competed against. And Riley Gaines has been in a bit of an argument with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez over that. So, Jennifer Welch, it's time to chime back in. Because if there is one thing the Democrat party can do, they can throw their angry old blonde women in the fray and talk about kindness and Christian empathy. Pay attention to how she tries to use her authority on kindness and how quickly that just erodes away here.
- [21:31]
One thing I want to say about Riley Gaines as she sits there and has the moral high ground against AOC When I look at people, if I were to say who's more Christ, like I would pick AOC and the atheist Jew, Bernie Sanders.
- [21:45]
I'm sorry, I just want to make this clear. If when you are describing people that you supposedly like better, I don't know what it is with the middle aged liberal white women. Whenever they mention a person's ethnicity or religion, it sounds like they're trying to mask a slur. If I'm talking about somebody who is as black, from India, a Native American, someone who's Chinese, it's just a part of the language. Like even Bernie Sanders the atheist Jude. It's like easy there, Gollum. It just say he's an atheist Jew and like move on. You don't have to articulate it as though you're trying to cough up gravel. I find it interesting that she needed to point out Bernie Sanders ethnicity and not AOCs. AOC and atheist Jew Bernie Sanders. Yes. Well, maybe it's because she can't pronounce Latina like AOC prefers to pronounce. Decide between Latina and Latinx, Estelle. So anyway, the, the wonderful, totally different than all of the other liberal blonde women guys, totally different, totally not the same, even though they all look botoxed and it died out the wazoo. She's claiming that Riley Gaines is less Christian than AOC or again her words, atheist Jill. Bernie Sanders. Again, she's talking about Christ likeness here. So let's hear her argument anyway.
- [23:12]
And the Muslim Zoran Mamdani musl a million times every year, Riley Gaines. Because Riley Gaines, all you do is hate on people. You are wound up like a cheap clock over.
- [23:25]
So now she's going to get hyped up like a little Yorkie that sees a car passing by. Remember, she's just stated her argument is Riley Gaines is not kind. She's hate filled. Let's see how she describes Riley Gaines.
- [23:36]
Trans people, you show them no grace, no compassion. You defend billionaires. You cheer and celebrate when children are zip tied. And then you have the audacity. There's the audacity on television and Try to lecture people who fight for the people that are suffering, that stand and put their arms around people that need sanctuary. And you try to act like you're better than they are. You're an insufferable.
- [24:07]
Oh, you know, yeah, in this house, we believe in kindness. And if not, you're insufferable. Bleep. Excellent radio crew. We got to send you to commercial. See you in a second. Going to continue on the live stream. It's the Tony Kinnit castle. So she goes on. I'm not going to play the rest of the clip. She calls her. I want to call it the T word. One of the fantastically vulgar ways to describe the female anatomy. You know, calls her a bunch of other lovely vulgar phrases because, again, kindness for the liberal white woman. I think they've also been called awfuls, angry white, whatever, affluent liberals kind of a thing. Uh, this crew always, always starts out talking about how you need to be kind like they are. And then they show how kind they are by cutting off everyone who doesn't agree with them using openly vulgar, racist, sexist, just really gross, violent terms in which they describe people. And by the way, just in case you were wondering, this isn't just limited to kind of the podcast fear, because there are people right now that are suggesting that she's. People are underestimating just how much her endorsement in the 2028 primaries are going to matter. Yeah, okay. No one knew who she was until like a day ago. No one's going to know who she is at the end of the week either. Abigail Spanberger, though, she's running for governor in Virginia, and she was asked about the same things that these liberal white advocates who have nothing but their political advocacy and being told how wonderful they are because they advocate for things. She's asked about men in women's sports, which is a big deal in Virginia, given the situation in Loudoun county and the consistent transgender to women sexual abuse that's happened. But Abigail Spanberger was asked about this, and here you go.
- [25:59]
What are your thoughts on youth sports allowing trans athletes to participate? Well, I think that we see and I mean, it's about $30 million worth of attack ads against me related to trans you.
- [26:15]
So already at the beginning, no accountability. She doesn't answer the question because they never. No accountability. Immediately she's going to basically say the audacity of them to spend money against trans youth. And then she's going to try to weaponize kindness while not answering the question at all, because no accountability ever.
- [26:32]
That have run so far. And there's, there's more ad buys in the future. Some of them about this, most of them about this. And I think the reason that we have seen that Republicans continue to, you lose the issue of trans kids or trans kids and sports participation as an attack there.
- [26:54]
She's suggesting cruelty. Using this issue as an attack is.
- [26:58]
You know, there's, there's multiple levels of it.
- [27:00]
One, so she doesn't actually have it ready to go. I'll tell you the levels because it takes her eight minutes to get through these levels. Number one, she says they're mean. Number two, she says they're trying to deflect from something. She doesn't actually state what they're trying to deflect from. And then number three isn't actually something you would list as three things or reasons they're using it. She just says it's a non issue. It takes her eight minutes to get through that. It's pathetic. There's a lot of other examples of this. Aoc, of course not white, but you know, we're inclusive here on the Tony Kenned cast. She has these issues. Jasmine Crockett's been a lot of the same way I do want to play you a clip of Nancy Pelosi just going after Christians and mocking people in rural parts of the country at a Harvard symposium panel. Here's speaker Emerita aoc. Nancy Pelosi.
- [27:53]
You're people of faith. You go to church on Sunday and pray in church on Sunday and pray on people the rest of the week.
- [28:00]
You Christians, you're praying on Sunday and your Tuesday.
- [28:04]
What is this?
- [28:07]
What is this? The elitism, lack of accountability and scorn for you because they think that you're beneath them. Just like they think that anyone that would say of color is beneath them. It's hilarious to watch. We're gonna swing over to the great interview. We gotta pick up the radio crew from commercial. It's the Tony Kennett cast. It's the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WIPC. New polling reveals that. Yeah. Sitting around and yelling about how awful the climate is and also how you shouldn't get out in nature. You should just leave it alone. Don't touch it. Yeah. Didn't really resonate with Americans. I know you're shocked. I'm shocked. And the head of the American Conservation Coalition, people who like Teddy Roosevelt actually want people to get out and enjoy and take care of nature. That being Florida's chair for it. Danny Lindsey joining us now. She's not shocked by the polling data. Either, are you, Danny?
- [29:03]
Absolutely not. I mean, we've been saying this for years and years and years since we started in 2017. And I'm glad now we're finally vindicated. It's our time to shine. It's time to take conservation back as a conservative value because it's ours to have and it's time to make some real difference, some things that make real change and stop campaigning on this doom and gloom. We're all going to die in five years. So give me several hundred million dollars to do absolutely nothing. It's our time to shine.
- [29:31]
You know, before Scott Presser was the guy that was running around getting everyone ready for registering to vote operations in the 2024 election, he was one of the people that went around in groups to various cities and would clean up streets, boulevards, neighborhoods, parks. And it was just to show that, well, actually that grumpy liberal with a thin Harry Potter glasses who's complaining about everything and in her most recent breakup and especially, most especially the climate, Greta Thunberg says we're all going to die from instead, it'. Conservatives. It's people who are just getting out in the community who want to take care of these things and are actually doing the community cleanup while she's sitting very upset in the coffee shop. Nothing wrong with sitting in the coffee shop, but you know, pick up the outside. It looks horrible. ACC's been doing a pretty good job of the actual stewardship side of things.
- [30:21]
Right. We've seen, like you said, you mentioned that polling, only 39% of people approved of Biden's handling of climate change. We haven't ever handled it appropriately. But like you said, Scott Press, are getting out in your community making a difference. It makes a tangible difference. And not only is it helping the environment, but it's, it's almost changing the minds of, of people in that community. Like, wow, there is something that we can do. It's a big, it's a very big scary problem. There's a lot of apathy especially that was a trend among zoomers was no one wants to vote. No one wants to get out to vote. Everything's very scary, doom and gloom, everything's awful.
- [30:56]
Because we're all going to die anyway. Right.
- [30:58]
What's the point? Getting out and showing this is the most beautiful country on the planet. Getting out with your community and making it a better place is where you're making a change. Yeah, you can go and vote. Yeah, they're doing whatever they want to do up in Congress. Not right now, but maybe Sometime they'll be doing something. But what's really affecting you is in your communities, in your local communities, you can go, I mean, local politics are where it's at, but also just getting together with your neighbors and going and picking up that trash that's been sitting on the street for probably years. We're finding trash from decades ago. That's what's making a real difference. And we can see that. We can see the waves that's making in our community, especially here in Florida. We're seeing seagrass regrowing, we're seeing bait fish populations research. And that's what it takes.
- [31:45]
Sorry. As a, as a Midwestern fisherman hearing bait fish repopulations increase, that warms my, my Midwestern heart. Yeah. So I down in Florida again, we of course know of Everglades national park. And there's another little extra tick because, you know, I prepared for this interview, believe it or not, that there is for the first time In, I believe, 15, maybe 20 years, they're not quite sure that there's some questions on like the 18th year. But the national parks are seeing more visitation from families, from parents with their kids to enjoy our national parks than we've seen in between 15 and 20 years. That's an excellent thing. We talk about community revitalization. That also means getting families involved out there to enjoy the nature again instead of the most recent no Kings protests on some street corner yelling.
- [32:41]
Right. I think that's, that's my biggest pull to conservation is this country. You think of our natural heritage as Americans. You think of the sprawling expanse of the Grand Canyon. You think of, maybe think of the Everglades. It's, I think it's an underrated national park. But you think of manifest destiny, you think of our beautiful natural lands that we have, have. And I think that's the beauty of, of this new resurgence of, of pride to be an American is the revitalization of the family union unit, bringing them out together to, to enjoy our natural heritage. I mean, you think of Florida, you think of wetlands, you think of alligators, you think of the ocean. You're not thinking of that strip mall down the street that they knocked down a state forest for. So I think that's so beautiful, seeing families come together and really show everyone what it means to be an American, what it means to be a steward of their land, which is really, really beautiful.
- [33:35]
I am also looking forward to kind of the, the management of resources being responsible, not from some kind of a state down, fear mongering that we're all going to die. But right now there are some practices that people do have concerns about, especially the, the power and the water intake of a lot of these AI and data facilities that are popping up all over the country. There are some of these data companies that are trying to be as careful as possible with water management, but it still takes a lot of power from the community. It causes a lot of issues. How does acc, and I didn't have this question to you beforehand, so feel free to, you know, brush aside. How is ACC navigating as a conservation coalition ensuring that if these data centers are going to grow, if they're going to move in, if they're going to expand, how is that done responsibly?
- [34:20]
Absolutely. Something we've actually been speaking out about on social media, mostly on our Gamble.
- [34:25]
And land on Red. Awesome.
- [34:27]
Exactly. It's something, it's, it's honestly one of the top issues I think voters should be caring about, but our biggest.
- [34:34]
I know I keep telling people I'm, I'm like the only guy over on this side of the broadcast because it won't shut up about these facilities.
- [34:42]
Our infrastructure can barely handle what we have going on now, especially here in Florida. We see a natural disaster, we see a hurricane. We're out of power for weeks and weeks. And we think, let's, let's overload our infrastructure with electric cars that it absolutely cannot handle. And now we're seeing like watching an.
- [34:57]
Adult sit down on like a child play furniture, like you're just like, oh, I don't think it can handle that weight.
- [35:04]
Right. It's really, really scary. And if we're not going to diversify our, our infrastructure and diversify our power grid with not only solar, wind out west, geothermal, but nuclear energy, nuclear energy, let's go, let's say, could essentially cure all of those concerns. Unfortunately, we are not doing it because of government red tape, which on average adds $5 million to the, the process to get clean energy going and even more for nuclear. So if we can get that going, we need to diversify our power grid or we face one of the biggest, I think, national security threats ever in our history. And I think that should be, I think energy security should be a top issue for everyone going forward, especially in this voting period. It's very, very scary, not only because we can't handle it, but because countries like China and Russia are dominating the energy field currently. And why would we let our foreign adversaries take that over and have the monopoly on that? It's very scary.
- [36:02]
I Mean, I think it's just common sense that if you actually want to take some of the burden off of Americans financially lowering the power bill is a way that you can do so that can't just be immediately reversed. And, and you know, just to clarify before we get, you know, people in the comments going solar, but there are a lot of solar bad. I, I, I agree when, when ACC and I have talked to ACC quite a bit about this, we mean solar putting solar panels on top of like sprawling corporate roof structure, residential solar on roof stuff that ain't taking up any room. Often it even helps with the good old Midwestern icing of the roofs in the winter and the sliding death. That's a good hoot and ripping the gutters off of my house. Janet, sorry, but in all seriousness, this kind of just common sense conservation that does in fact fit in with being an American because you think of Teddy Roosevelt, the Rough Rider, you think of Lewis and Clark, you think of getting out there and mastering nature for yourself, whether it's riding the waves like you do, or mountain climbing like some of our friends do, or that actual getting out there and enjoying it, that is your birthright as an American to enjoy this manifest destiny, as you said.
- [37:09]
Absolutely. Yeah. And a lot of conservatives ask me why they should care about the environment. If you are a conservative Christian. The Lord commands us to be stewards of our earth. He gave us this Earth, us to steward. That is quite literally in Genesis, we were put here to be stewards and to work this land and to care for God's creation is absolutely blows my mind that this has not been a conservative issue in the past couple decades because this is, this is everything we stand for. If we want our children and our grandchildren to have a country that they're proud of, we need to conserve the most beautiful country on the planet for them to, to be proud of.
- [37:47]
I, I think that just to kind of close this off, I think that came from an era of if the crazy people that you can't stand are going to take an opinion or take a position, it's so easy just to take the opposite position and go, well, fine, I'm not doing it then. And instead the, the better way that I've seen a lot of Americans take, far better than how a lot of my junior high students may have chosen to do so instead, I'm seeing a lot of people say, no, I'm going to do what it is that you think you're doing far better than you are, and I'm not going to Be an insufferable fool in the meantime. And I think that, again, is also compared to the Europeans, the American virtue. We're going to do whatever you're doing better and we're going to have a blast. And also, here's a beer commercial of us doing that thing. I mean, come on. Amen. American thing ever.
- [38:36]
Absolutely.
- [38:39]
100 Lindsey, state director down at Florida for the American Conservation Coalition. All of those links in the description below. Thanks for joining us.
- [38:48]
Thank you so much.
- [38:49]
Tony Radio Crew. We're going to send you off to the wide, beautiful land of commercials and continue on the live stream where we don't have commercials, just really gorgeous hosts. It's the Tony kid cast. All right. While the radio crew is off to commercial, I think the interview there with Danny Lindsay is very apropos because right after you have all of these old, bitter, angry. I noticed I got a couple of comments during the show. Like, fake blonde women. I don't know if you saw, like all like, the dark roots and stuff. Whatever. There's like a young blonde lady who actually has her head on her shoulders. The work that accumulates. Yeah. And a sense of humor. The work that ACC is doing. The American Conservation Coalition. Excellent stuff. So that said, I want to show you a young blonde lady who's having a really horrible time. Who's the future of the left. If Danny Lindsay is a future of ladies on the right, who's the future of ladies on the left? Well, her name is Kat Abagazale. No, I didn't sneeze. That's her name. She's a former journalist, activist, tiktoker person from Chiraq who's running for Congress because. Thank God. And she's very, very mad. Now, why is this lady mad? Well, like other young women of the left, she has taken her time not to sit around and drink and mutter racial slurs at the gardener. No, no, no. She has actually gone out to defend what she thinks are the downtrodden that are being arrested by ice. Here is Kat Abigaila, as you might recall, standing in front of a federal vehicle trying to prevent ICE from upholding federal law. So there she was. You can see at the very beginning there. That's that young blonde braided lady is Kat Abigazela. So she's breaking the law right there. You're not allowed to do that. And you might also remember her from my personal favorite as a clip on the show. Here she is getting thrown on her butt by ICE for violating the law. The music we've added for Enjoyment purposes. I love it. Incredible producer Nick, that happens to you. From a man. But you're gonna chest press a two ton truck. I again, I know that we get a little excited when the adrenaline's flowing through, you know. There was the story of the firefighters who picked up the vehicle off of the young lady. That's incredible stuff. Standing just in front of a large government issue suv. Yeah. Probably not IQ moments. Yeah. No. Well, here she is now. She's mad because she's violated federal law and there are charges coming. So she does what every Democrat lady does when, you know, whether you're Lamonica McIver or your cat Abba Garbanzo Bean, she comes out to tell us that she's mad, that they're, you know, she's violent. She's got charges.
- [41:43]
My name is Kat Abu Ghazali. I'm running for Congress in the 9th district of Illinois. The Department of Justice is charging six.
- [41:49]
People, including myself, with federal crimes. What are the federal crimes? What are the actual crimes listed for.
- [41:56]
Exercising our First Amendment rights?
- [41:58]
Near ICE's Broadview Process Processing Center. I'm guessing that's not what's written on the charges. What are they charging you for?
- [42:03]
This is a political prosecution.
- [42:05]
It's not. You stood in front of a vehicle and then got wrecked when you broke the law.
- [42:10]
And a gross attempt to silence dissent.
- [42:12]
No, no.
- [42:14]
It is not a right protected under the First Amendment.
- [42:17]
You don't have the right to block traffic and also prevent cops from upholding federal law, including making arrests. You can't do that. Sorry. Yeah, no, I'm not watching the rest of this nonsense. We're going to commercial and then we're going to talk more about some crazy banking crimes and federal nonsense. Don't go anywhere. There's more Tony Kenneth cast. It's the Tony Kenneth cast on 93 WYBC. Allison. Allison. Oh, oh, great radio board producer. Another young lady with her head on her shoulders and not up someone's behind. Are you out there in wide radio world tonight?
- [42:53]
Yes, yes, I am.
- [42:55]
I can tell that you have your head on your shoulders because as producer Nick pointed out, you also have a sense of humor. And I, you know, again, rare as they are these days, I'm not starting that interview this segment. So we'll just go out live like normal for the radio side of things. Because there's more news. Would you believe it? There's just never ending news. Allison forever. Amen and amen. Hmm. Good, I'm glad. It's just important to give praise. Where Praise is due. Well, not only is James Boasberg out here attempting as hard as he can to cause the federal government endless grief through again, as we talked about earlier, the subpoenas that were not at all supposed to be allowed as we talk about the political prosecution, the tracking, the tapping of Republican senators phones. But new the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit has blocked Judge Sarah Ellis order requiring the Department of Homeland Security official Gregory Bevino to appear in court daily for updates on operations in the Chicago area. Now you remember how a lot of these particular judges. I'm gonna read that again. Judge Sarah Ellis. Gee, I wonder what producer Nick. Oh, pull it up.
- [44:15]
Jamie.
- [44:16]
I want you to tell me what Judge Sarah Ellis looks like. I want you to Google a picture for me. Just, just for me. Send it to me. Over in the slack, Judge Sarah Ellis put out an order, a super duper special injunctive order supreme announcing that the Department of Homeland Security had to send Gregory Bevino, whose name you might remember from the prosecution list of James Boasberg and Jack Smith. The target list, I digress, ordered him to appear in court every single day to at the whims of the judge, starting late, dragging on just endless ad nauseam. Well, she's not blonde, but she has the cocky smug nonsense that arises constantly. Pantsuit plus pearls. The pantsuit and pearls. Ooh, the Hillary Clinton special. The Hillary Clinton special. Well, I don't have evidence leading to her arrest and I'm not suicidal. So as far as Sarah Ellis essentially wanted the DHS to hold up their operations daily so she could bring this official in from the Trump administration and berate him, which she did, and say, all right, welcome to the court case. Did you know you're Hitler? And when did you stop beating your wife? Those kinds of particular, totally legitimate federal concerns. Now, the federal government was supposed to stop doing this. There was a Supreme Court case earlier this year in which the Supreme Court ruled handily. Federal judges aren't God. Now I've actually, you know, my theology books are over here and I've looked through them somewhat recently. Mostly because there was a question I had in Galatians, but that's neither here nor there. While I was reading through some of those theology books, I made an amazing discovery. Federal judges are never listed in the Hebrew, the Koine or in the Aramaic as being God. All of the names for God, federal judges. And once he's the judge of judges, he's the king of kings. But no, I'm sorry, federal judge from Illinois, not one of well, not one of God's attributes and thank you for that. So I'm afraid they can't just go reaching into administration in order. You need to do 542squats, bring me a lemon, and lick a Chevy every day. You just can't throw out orders like that. No, you're not king. We had a very important no kings protest. I'm sure you saw it. All of these old women were marching in it and, you know, talking about how excited they were that husbands and fathers were being assassinated on political campuses. Now, that brings me to another important news story that I, you guys know as well as I do, I truly, truly despise that we spend so much time as a media collective broad. I'd call myself broadcaster more than a journalist. Focusing on shootings that do occur and the tragedy that is involved and what went wrong. Today there is another instance where law enforcement was able to prevent a mass shooting on religious sites. I don't have any other information on this yet. I've requested information, have heard nothing back yet. Thwarted by the police, quote, an Alabama man was on the verge of a violent attack with a stockpile of weapons found in his home. And it looks to be a Winchester advice. A waste of a beautiful pump action Winchester and then an AR15 and then a lot of ammunition. And authorities say he had intentions of not being apprehended alive. At this point, we don't know who it was that reported him. There do seem to be more and more Americans who are doing the if you see something, say something that is very, very good. Now, candidates like Zoran Mamdani, they hate that. They hated that after 9, 11, how people reported things that they saw that were suspicious. He said, you know my second cousin who starred in Spaceballs, the movie, when she wasn't in Tanzania, she teleported to New York with Dr. Strange. She was riding the subway and someone leaned over her and said, luke, I don't like Muslims and I'm your father. And she never wore a hijab on the subway again. Yeah, true story, bro. Barney Stinson told me that that kind of stuff, Americans are really over it. There's a lot of really hyper online things that I am sure you're hearing right now. I am. I'm sure. There have been a number of things that have filled up my social media feed over the last couple of days of people saying that the country is either going to hell in a handbasket or everything is wonderful. We need to lean into this. We need to lean into that. No, no, There is a lot right now to in fact be grateful for. That's not whistling past the graveyard, what the Democrats are doing right now with Snap in the shutdown. That's whistling past the graveyard, pushing angry old liberal ladies without family, faith or community in front of the camera to gripe that everyone they don't like is then choose from a list of swears or racial slurs. Yeah, that's not winning over people. What's winning over people right now is actually moving forward and getting things done. That means two things. That either means getting things done in substantive policy. The Trump administration brokering a major manufacturing and trade deal in South Korea. He is single handedly, and I want to make this clear, single handedly who he has put in charge of the trade representation in this country at this time. Not to mention Scott Besant and Howard Lutnick striking one of the most incredible balances of populous versus traditional economics I've ever seen. He is ensuring at that throughout all of these junctures of the tariffs and the international tension between the US And China that China is boxed in with trade deals. Before he meets with Xi Jinping. Trump has built the royal flush all week and now he goes up to Xi and says, all of my cards are red, but you're not going to like it. Little royal flush reference there. Sorry, it may not land because it's red. Communist. I know lots of gambling references tonight. A lot of gambling references tonight. Maybe I should run for Illinois governor. Probably have to put on a few pounds to be fair. And also learn how to lie through my teeth consistently instead of saying whatever appears in my news notes because we all know that's not dangerous. Radio Crew. I see now that our time has drawn to a close and we don't own the musical rights to the goodbye song from Bear in the Big Blue House. And I'm not going to say goodnight to you like the Waltons. So take care. We'll see you guys tomorrow. There's a lot of great stuff on the live stream. YouTube.com Daily Signal or rumble.com the Daily Signal. We'll see you guys then. But on the live stream, we're staying right here because we got way too much to hop off now. Producer Nick, I'm opening up live stream time with a realization. What's this? It's all the free meal tickets. He's winning when he wins at blackjack. He wins at blackjack. Vegas comes up. Excuse me, sir. You've won so much money, here's a free ticket to the Caesar buffet. I'm going to make this clear. The Caesar Buffet. I don't know the actual name for it. They started giving buffets fancy names instead of the hotel itself. Buffet at Caesars. I ate there in. I think it was right before COVID Yeah, 2019. I was getting my master's degrees. I went out to Vegas for my birthday. Not my first choice, but you go out, it was a nice time. The Caesars Buffet was incredible. That was awesome. I was expecting, like, what all of the jokes were about it. Caesars Buffet is delicious. If Pritzker got fat from the Caesars Buffets, I relent. I'm sorry. Understood. Some things are worth it. I'm here for a good time, not a long time. Amen. I say that as a Baptist. We know how to eat, man. Casserole. Potlucks are bread and butter, and there's a lot of bread and butter in the casserole dish. So moving on from that, I'm getting texts from my own family telling me to move on.

O.J. Olake
Now.

Tony Kennett
We'Ve got more news, More news, and not a lot of time to get there. I said there were two ways Americans were looking for things to get done. There were two ways Americans wanted things accomplished. Looking forward and looking back. Right now, both of those are being accomplished Right now. You have the Trump administration brokering deals on the world stage. 25 rate point cut today from the Fed, interest rates dropping again. The inflation we were promised on tariffs, it ain't here. It's not. It's just not here. There is an account that I follow who goes by the pseudonym, excuse me, pseudonym, the Reckoning, who essentially has been on this for quite a long time. The idea that the tariffs are not going to result in really high inflation. But realistically, what you're seeing right now is an economy that is resetting itself on international orientation via trade and then also how the United States manages its, for example, its currency finance. And when Trump hits the second term, right now his poll numbers on the economy are low because everyone's still a little nervous. If he sets up a deal with China, with Canada, if he sets up manufacturing deals, and we hit the midterm year with an economic boom now that even I have said was an option. This producer, Nick, is smiling because he's been telling me this for months while I waited and didn't make any predictions. But if the economy essentially hits hyperdrive around March or April, there's no solution in the Democrat playbook that I see that actually ends with the Democrats taking the House, the Senate, or the local dog Catcher's office in November, we'll probably see a 60 seat Republican Senate threshold for the first time. I mean, you might even get Fetterman to leave the party and increase the independence scope of the party as well. Yeah, Saul. To Paul Fetterman to betterment. Yeah, very, very true. Very, very, very true. Now that aside, you know, I want to make this particularly clear right now. The looking forward is equally paired with the looking back. That's the second thing that I've been referencing the Trump administration is doing. So right now. The Trump administration is putting a lot of efforts forward to rectify the Obamagate scandal, the Biden auto pen scandal. I had a conversation with someone on background in the Attorney General's office just earlier this morning. I was a little groggy because I wake up a little late these days, but the conversation essentially was around how many different active investigations right now are going on at the same time. Like major scale Politico, front page, all of the New York Times journals swarming around the office style. How many of those are going on at the same time? At the same time? And also how many are normally going on, say normally in administration? About 12 to 15 major investigations are going on, she says right now. Sorry, It's a she. Over 130. Over 130 major investigations. Some of them are landing with hard charges. Some of them are landing with what are called soft charges for discovery. I can't really claim being right over that one yet until that's not on background and I can actually cite my source and play the video for it. The federal government is in fact using charges on lying to Congress as a means of discovery. James Comey, John Brennan, Joe Biden. There are clips that are being released from the Oversight Committee. There are in fact going to end up with people in prison. Now I know a lot of you are pessimistic because people haven't ended up in prison yet. I hear you. Patience, patience, relax. We'll get there. And if we don't, then there's quite a few things in the works to show that the Trump administration is attempting, it's rootin tootinist to correct a lot of those wrongs. One of those things is debanking. A massive number of individuals were completely cut off, completely cut off from banking, from, from monetary investment systems, from even being able to use certain credit cards that they had in order to buy food, gas, etc. Seriously, seriously dangerous situations afoot. And of course that's going to bring us over to our next guest there. Again, there are people right now in the administration who are doing more work to rectify as close to systemic wrongs right now in the United States, not just for the right, but for the left. The left has had an axe to grind with corporate America for a very long time, too. One of the guys leading the charge against this massive debanking, incredibly corrupt political regulation on the internal side of the finance system in this country is none other than O.J. oleka. Of course. He's the chief executive officer over at the State Financial Officers Foundation. And don't let the name put you to sleep. This is the guy that makes sure that the ax y' all have been grinding over the last couple of years when those big corporations and corrupt politicians have gone after you. This is the man who makes sure that doesn't roll under the refrigerator forgotten forever. OJ thanks for joining us.
- [57:16]
O.J. Olake
It is good to be with you.
- [57:17]
Tony Kennett
Well, let's dive right in. I know you're holding a big conference in Washington. There's a lot that's going on behind the scenes because this may be the first 27 front administration we've ever had in a country. There's a lot to do. What are you focused on right now you can give us a bit of a taste of?
- [57:33]
O.J. Olake
Sure. Well, you mentioned the kind of 27 front push the administration is doing. We actually have a 39 person front at the Financial Officers Foundation. I get to be blessed to run the organization, but it's really our financial officers who are on the ground in their states every single day fighting for the American people. And what we're doing is being in lockstep with the president on the issues, fighting back against ESG to make sure that your dollars aren't weaponized for the left's goals, and also pushing back against debanking to make sure that just because you're a conservative or a Christian, a financial organization or institution can't refuse to do business with you. Our folks have been fighting on the front lines for this every and those are the things that we're really focused on right now because we know we've got friends in Washington who can fight alongside us.
- [58:18]
Tony Kennett
And I mean, it definitely has some momentum to it because now we have individuals like Bill Gates coming forward and saying, well, you know, if we don't magically reverse the climate with one flick of the wizard's wand, nobody's going to die. You know, maybe capitalism can actually grow us out of any environmental changes. From his perspective, that kind of a reversal that we talked about earlier in the show with Danny Lindsay that kind of a reversal would not have been possible unless you actually had a coalition of conservatives and independents who actually knew what they were doing. Everybody wants to run for office these days, but you actually need to know how things work so that you can beat the left at their own game when they get into these ESG grants and subsidies and give me your monities. You know how it is.
- [59:02]
O.J. Olake
Yes, that's right. The vibe shift is real, as they say. And the benefit that our folks have is that since they're financial officers, they're well trusted. There was a poll that came out earlier this year that said that state financial officers are the most trusted elected officials on financial issues, more so than their governor, more so than the members of Congress, because people believe in them. So when our folks were pushing back, saying, look, we study this stuff all the time, we aren't coming at this from a partisan perspective. We're just saying that if you're going to invest funds, you should do so to get the best possible return. It shouldn't be, again, for some political ideological push from the left because they couldn't get it passed at the ballot box or it's too expensive to get passed through the legislature. But that's what ESG is. So when our folks started talking about it a few years ago and showing the data and then moving the money, literally putting the money where their mouth was, as you said, these corporations, the federal government, voters started to take notice, and it culminated in the reelection of President Trump.
- [60:00]
Tony Kennett
That's a really great point that you hit on there. That may not be the most network TV of interview points to make here. When I was little, my grandmother was on the board of this Perfect Circle Credit Union kind of organization in eastern Central Indiana. And we went to a little board meeting of sorts. And I remember she just, you know, I tutted along with Nana, you know how things are when you're a kid. And as I tutted along with her, I noticed there was one person in the meeting. When she started speaking, everyone got quiet in a way that when others spoke, they didn't. And she wasn't loud. Just when she spoke, people listened. And I asked her what that was about, because it was just as a kid, that was what I gleaned from it. She said, oh, that's because she's important. She actually knows how things are running here. And I think of Scott Besant now in the administration, who is, like you said, you could look at these financial officers who aren't sleazy, skeezy, you know, go give a really used car salesman smile to the camera. That's right. But when Bessant talks, he leans back, he folds his hand across his chest and he makes some acute financial statements and points that I mean, I tell you what I mean, you know, Dave Ramsey could run with those, you know what I'm saying? So those kind of actions are needed if you're going to get in there, you need to. Scalpel.
- [61:12]
O.J. Olake
That's right.
- [61:12]
Tony Kennett
Because if we're going to go after esg, there's a detailed CVS list, length of receipt, issues that have been brutally measured against the American people. What are some of the things that you guys have had to tackle so far? Maybe some of the things your officers have brought to you that are either getting solved or especially egregious. What's kind of like on your dinner plate right now?
- [61:34]
O.J. Olake
Yeah, there are a number of items on the dinner plate. I think about Shad White in Mississippi, the auditor down there who found about half a billion dollars in DEI spending in the universities. Now we think about dei.
- [61:47]
Tony Kennett
Wait, whoa, whoa, hang on a second here.
- [61:50]
O.J. Olake
I've looked at it so many times, it's almost become normal.
- [61:52]
Tony Kennett
Unfortunately, in Mississippi, the state the kids mess each other up with spelling wise, we're talking that deep red state, half.
- [62:01]
O.J. Olake
A billion in AI funds throughout the universities. Because again, the way that these things work, it comes through some grant or some mandate from the federal government or universities will push it, some office of such and such as opposed to actually trying to educate students at the higher education level. But what auditor White was able to uncover was that all this money is effectively being spent for no reason and not going to the actual education level of students. The Kentucky auditor, Auditor Alison Ball, found a ton of wasteful spending in Medicaid. The great debate right now in Washington with part of the shutdown is how much money should be subsidizing spending in health care. Well, what our folks are saying is, look, you can cut out a lot of the waste and the fraud if you actually do proper audits and do the doge techniques that we're supposed to find. So that's a couple of examples. We've got the auditor in Oklahoma, Cindy Byrd, who found a lot of wasteful stuff in a school district out there. So our folks are finding things from all across the board. But I want to give you another example. You mentioned spending time. Well, and you mentioned spending time with your nana. That's what my kids do with my mother and grandma is the beneficiary of my father's pension. He was A public university professor. The reason why this stuff is so bad is because my parents were devoutly pro life. They are conservative. Yet when you have ESG being pushed upon them by government entities that are far to the left, that money is being used to push forward on ideologies that they disagree with, including pro abortion votes from shareholders or votes that are gonna make boards forced to put people on just because of race and not because of merit. These are things that people are actively against and all they wanna do is live their lives to spend times with their grandkids in the best years, the golden years of their life. They don't want their money that they worked hard to earn or their spouse worked hard to earn being weaponized against them and their values. That's what's happening and that's what our folks are fighting back against in lockstep with the Trump administration to say no more for the American people.

You know, it's interesting you bring that up and I know we have to close things off here, but I just can't help it right now. When you hear the word subsidy used on kind of the political floor, it's used as kind of a cudgel to hit farmers in the United States with when there are far more in gross subsidies that go to corporations that are directly acting against the interests of the taxpayer, whether towards promoting abortion policy or LGBTQ plus, whatever policy. Or like you said, you know, putting race, skin color, things like that before merit and character. Those are subsidies and tax breaks that are far more detrimental to society than. Ah, the soybean market's rough this year, so we're going to give farmers a bit of a hand here. It's apples and oranges to the extreme.

Yep, it absolutely is. One is trying to help people make an honest living. The other is trying to push a radical ideology that nobody voted for. But the good news is help is on the way. Our financial officers are fighting against it every single day. They're putting their money where their mouth is. Our side needs to speak loudly when it comes to these issues. And you got financial officers across the country who are doing it.

All right, here as we wind down the show for the evening, I want to remind everyone next week on Tuesday night, that's the off year election, that I'm making the prediction now. Is probably going to be one of the most unique off year elections in U.S. history. We've got election coverage from Virginia. We've got election coverage from Virginia Allen, our senior reporter. We've got our team up in New York at the Zoran Mamdani New York mayoral election shenanigans. We've got coverage from California's Prop 50. We've got people on the ground. We've got really big guests lined up. And I don't know how long that show's going to be right now. There's no ending to that show. We go until I'm satisfied or frustrated or until I've broke something worth more than at least $563. So join us that evening. I recommend if you're listening to this on the podcast, make a little calendar thing. We'll have the stream up on schedule here in a couple of days so you can bookmark it. On Tuesday evening, 7pm Eastern we start the great Tony Kennett cast off your election coverage. It's going to be either really good or tolerable. I'm telling you, you're not going to want to miss it. It's way better than listening to oh, I don't know, what are you going to do instead? You're going to tune into Nicole Wallace over on msnbc. What is she normally doing around this time of year? Complaining about the boy that Trump gave the Secret Service medal to. Is that the plan? No, don't waste your time doing that. Don't tune into this.

I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that you let yourself feel and I let myself feel.
- [67:01]
Don't listen to this. Little to whiny that listen, you know.
- [67:04]
I'm waiting on a reporter and maybe.
- [67:05]
It'Ll be no, you don't have to listen to that.
- [67:07]
Your people of faith, you don't have.
- [67:09]
To listen to that. Tune into the Tony Kinnid cast and watch us make fun of those people live. Bring your own popcorn. We don't have the money to provide that for you. You guys take care. We'll see you tomorrow. Same great time, same great place. At 7pm Eastern it's the Tony Kinnid cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated and first on 93 WIBC. Take care.
