Kennett Tony Kennett Tony Kennett Tony Kennett Tony Kennett Tony Kennett Tony Kennett Host of the Tony Kennett Cast let's get down to business. You're listening to the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WYPC on CYTV here on the Daily Signal. Good evening and welcome to the Tony Kennett cast here on the Daily Signal. Nationally Syndrome 93 WIBC in Indianapolis. It is quite an evening of news right out the gate and we will get to all of it as we can. First and foremost, the First Circuit Court of Appeals has slapped down a judge's order attempting to block the defunding of Planned Parenthood, which had been accomplished through the big beautiful bill measure that the president had signed and into law. And this was a unanimous decision by the appeals court. So if you remember, the Obama appointed district court Judge Indira Telwani suggested that Congress didn't have the authority to strip funding from Planned Parenthood even though Congress is the one who holds the purse in the Constitution. Judge Talwani essentially said women really, really, really need abortions, which, of course, that's enough to overturn any law whatsoever. I mean, you know, anytime I want to overturn a law, I just think of all the abortions that could be and presto, it fixes it like magic. So pretty big win for the Trump administration. They're not really unexpected. Then we get to an unfortunately a really bad series of judicial decisions, starting with Judge Paula Zinnis. Now, if you're trying to picture what does Judge Paula Zinnis look like? Picture Rachel Maddow. You got it. That's basically what this again, there's one or one of two categories of what the, you know, the ladies on the left look like, they either are the blonde, angry, menopausal sort or they morph into the more, you know, Rachel Maddowest sort. So on that side of the Democratic.
C
Association, say, what a butch association.
B
Well, anyhow, Judge Paula Zinnis has ordered that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, as the left used to call him, Maryland man has been released back into the United States interior. This is a pretty serious order because not only did she say that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, again, The man with MS.13 symbology tattooed on his knuckles. Well, let's just say that the lady he married filed several restraining order requests alleging wife beating. Of course, he was pulled over by the Tennessee Highway Authority because he was trafficking people. Not necessarily a good guy. Also, police reports of him endangering the lady. He marries kid, not his child. Just for the record, not necessarily the best of guys, but this illegal immigrant, Kilmer Garcia, Judge Paula Zinnis has ordered he be released back into the interior of the United States. She said, quote, respondents are enjoined. This means that ice, federal law enforcement, state law enforcement is enjoined from re detaining petitioner Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia in ICE custody until this court can receive further briefing from the parties and conduct a hearing on the removal order motion. She says by no later than midnight on December 14, 2025, respondents shall respond to Abrego Garcia's motion and then gives the court information to the case. You can't do that. I'm sorry. The Supreme Court of the United States has already ruled, already ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia can be booted under, like, 15 different reasons. He is an illegal immigrant in the United States who has been suspected and convicted of various crimes here and in other countries. He can be deported. There is no if, ands, buts, or coconuts there, ladies and gentlemen. The idea that this man. And by the way, we won't just hear from me, we'll hear from him. Gets to get out there and give the sad, sorrowful sob story that he deserves to be alone with the wife that he beats with his MS.13 tattooed knuckles. Yeah, that's not the move. Producer Nick.
C
Yeah, I was just gonna say, don't get it confused. This is what they mean when they want illegal immigrants to have due process.
B
Yeah, due process just means let him around and out and about in the country again. This isn't just happening with regard to Maryland, of course. We've also got reports from back on December 2nd, New York City quietly releasing nearly 7,000 illegal immigrants out of correctional facilities back into the community. These include rapists, killers, terrorists, repeat offenders, zero notice to Immigration Customs Enforcement, of course. And then, of course, we have the Minnesota and then Illinois situations. So, for example, J.B. pritzker in Illinois presiding over the release of thousands of illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes back into Illinois just with a hug A kiss and a slight pat on the behind because we can't have ICE getting ahold of these poor, sweet little darlings. So we will play Garcia's press conference. It is pretty wild that you can come into the country illegally. You can commit crimes before you're here, commit crimes while you're here, and then some white lady will complain about it and then release you back into society, so then you can complain about the country you are illegally in. Here's Garcia. Oh, I'm sorry. You can't understand him. Oh, I'm so sorry. He doesn't speak English as well.
C
Too funny. He knew he was gonna have a press conference. He's had months during his process of being kicked out of the country back and forth. Not once did he think, maybe I should learn some English to try and convince people publicly that I should be allowed to stay. Nah, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna wear a bulls cap.
B
You know what else is kind of cool? I mean, you just. Just kind of neat. Kind of neat idea here. He shouldn't have been allowed on the roads again. I will remind you, as we talked about with Hans von Spakovsky yesterday or earlier this week, I should say that the road signs in the United States of America are in English. And believe it or not, they're not just fancy shapes on the signs. There are actual directions on certain signs. And that man was again caught by the Tennessee Highway Authority trafficking people already a deporting level offense. Joe Biden said, no, you let him back into the country. That's a Maryland man right there. After we all know the. You know what, when the founding fathers established Maryland as a colony, I think we can all remember how they described it. Written right on the state constitution, the.
C
Constitution for Ms. 13, wife beating, illegal immigrant trafficking men.
B
Only now the comments are pointing out he does speak English. He does this for sympathy. Okay, so first of all, he has said before he speaks very, very, very poor English. He doesn't really speak it well at all. And it's something he's picked up in the last couple of years. Now, that's not trying to quibble over points. When he gets out in front of the country and says, I'm gonna fight the Trump administration, that's what he says. He doesn't say, I was wrongfully detained. He had come out and said, I was tortured in El Salvador. And then El Salvador released all of the footage of his time in El Salvador. In the prison, he was treated really nice. In fact, he waltzed right out and started Sipping on water and maybe some margaritas with Senator Chris Van Hollen. So he's back. He's here, he's happy. What is ICE going to do about it? You know, is ICE going to abide by this particular order? According to a statement from the Immigration Customs Enforcement Office, quote, activist judges will not stop ICE from arresting and deporting Ms. 13 gang members, end quote. There is a pretty decent chance that ICE goes in and arrests him anyway, because this administration, of all the judges, that I don't think the Trump administration will follow every little whim of Judge Paula Zinnis probably fits the bill more than most.
C
Do you think that Van Hollen is going to have another date with Kilmar, or do you think he's going to wait till he gets deported to another country again? Maybe somewhere more exotic like Tahiti?
B
Ooh. I mean, I'm still hoping for Uganda for Kilmar or maybe Siberia, maybe Narnia, who knows?
C
I'm, I'm hoping that Somalia to get some mush.
B
Somalia?
A
Yeah.
B
You know, the bean cuisine is quite mean over there, man. I'm, I'm, I'm quite.
C
Enjoy the mush.
B
I don't know why the left. Because the left is running victory laps over this. And by the way, the Senate Judiciary Democrats have come out to announce how proud they are he's been released. Of course, no mention of, of again, the MS.13 symbology tattooed on his knuckles or that they have released him to his wife, who he beat.
C
Ah.
B
But, you know, when it comes to the left and, and protecting those who abuse their wives, that's kind of cut part and parcel, unfortunately. So, that aside, ICE is going to continue going into communities anyway. ICE is. ICE is going to continue going into communities anyway. And by the way, they're very clear as to why they are going into communities. They're very clear. They're like, we are going into communities because local authorities who have these individuals arrested again, having them in custody for the violent crimes they've committed are because they know we have them. You know, you guys know that, like, in jails, there aren't like, secret books of who's in there. You can find out who is in any jail, any prison, anytime. They keep a logbook. It's far more than the person signing the hotel guest registry checking in and the federal government's aware, and knowing that the federal government is aware who's in these prisons, then they check them on out of there and get the bell hopped to cart their luggage back out into the community. And so the Federal Immigration Customs Enforcement Agency has made it explicitly clear you don't want ICE in your local community. Well, boy, have I got the prescription for you.
D
This is a chance for them to turn over 4,000 criminally, you know, illegal aliens that are felons. And if people don't want ICE doing enforcement operations in neighborhood, this is a perfect way to, you know, to work with us, turn over these criminal aliens, because that's who we're out there looking for.
B
You don't want ice. You don't want ICE in the community. You don't want a bunch of agents running around picking up anyone. That the violent criminal, the one who has been convicted of pedophilia, of rape, of spousal domestic abuse, of trafficking, whether it be narcotics or people, grand theft auto, arson, larceny, whatever. On and on and on. Amen. Then turn them over when you catch them. Now, all the way from Boston to California, from New Mexico, all the way up to Minnesota, the answer from blue administrations has been no. And as long as those administrations in the various cities around the country continue, you're gonna reach some kind of a. A tipping point. Now, the tipping point can come in a couple of different places. We're not really gonna get into that, because what's even funnier at this time is watching the Democrats recognize ICE is gonna come in anyway. So we could talk about Tim Walls, because Tim Walls, of course, had a complete and utter collapse today. More so than usual. I mean, man, somebody really put a pine cone in his tampon dispenser. Because he is. He's struggling. He's. He's struggling. And we'll get to him. But first, Omar Fateh, the Somalian migrant who ran for mayor, and then half of the Somalian clans, the term used by the Associated Press, not yours truly, decided that he. I don't know. I don't know how caste systems in India and Africa work. Decided he was of the wrong micro, clan, color, group, family, I don't know. Romeo wouldn't marry Juliet. So some more clans voted against Omar for Jacob Frey. Omar is still very mad. And now he's out there to do the right thing. And by the right thing, I mean he's out there encouraging people to violate federal law. Here he was scared, shivering his timbers because the federal authorities are coming into Minneapolis. Anyway.
E
Hello, everyone. Senator Omar Fateh here. I'm in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, and. And I wanted to speak to you about what we've been seeing here in the Twin Cities area as well as throughout the state of Minnesota.
B
Oh, he's going to talk about the fraud. Hey, there's a lot of fraud out here. Okay, all right, all right. Also, as pointed out, this is a lot different of an accent than he uses in a lot of his other video.
C
I do appreciate, specifically when he's on the campaign trail. Interesting that post campaign trail, when it.
B
Failed, he, after being Mr. Immigrant, is no longer useful to him. All of the sudden, he's back to saying, hello, Omar Fattah here. I think I'll use my credit card.
C
He was using the accent. Then he went, oh, no, Jacob Frey beat me again. Oh, hey, guys. How's it going?
B
You don't have to do this, guys. We've talked about this with Jasmine Crockett. It is just clown show nonsense, but we'll let him continue. He's not actually warning anyone about the rampant fraud in Minneapolis and the surrounding Minnesota. Of course he's worried about the law.
E
President Trump has the full force of the federal government targeting the Somali community.
B
That is not the full force of the federal government. I hate to break it to you, that's not the full force. There is a tanker now no longer flying the Venezuelan flag that has experienced the force of the United States government. The Somali community getting a visit from a federal agent and, and asking to make sure they're supposed to be here is not the full force.
E
What we've been seeing is that our neighbors have been detained. At times, even American citizens and families have been torn apart.
B
Okay, you're gonna hear this a lot from Tim Walls, from Gavin Newsom this evening, and then of course, here from Omar Fateh, the argument that is being made. They are detaining American citizens. They're detaining American citizens. Now, there's a reason he is saying detaining and not arresting and deporting, that matters. We're going to explain why, but I.
E
Want to let you all know that it does not have to be this way and that you do have rights, and I want to run them by you.
B
You do have a right, in fact, you have a right to leave the country. If you shouldn't be here, you do right now. You, under the law, can self deport and walk away with cold hard cash, which you can then exchange for goods, services, or beans. In Somalia, I'm told, first, when ICE.
E
Or an ICE agent comes to your door, you have the right not to open and to request information. You can ask for a judicial warrant that's signed by a judge. If they have a judicial warrant and not an administrative warrant. We saw that play out earlier today in the F building, in the towers behind me, in which an ICE agent.
B
Came saying, well, you know, it's a good local community structure when they call it the F building. Not social housing there at all. Because, again, if it's a privately built community or a tower, it's always like Shady Somerville or local equestrian towers. It's not the F building.
C
Hmm.
B
That reeks of private ownership, doesn't it?
E
That they had a warrant to search the premises. We had Representative Mahamud Noor, who did a great job and speaking with them and saying that, well, not so fast. You need to have a judicial warrant and not an administrative warrant. And of course, they tried to play dumb and act like they didn't know the rules, but in the end, they left the scene.
B
Okay, so fun fact. That is not actually a rule. Well, you need a judicial warrant, not just an administrative warrant. I'm sorry, guys. But under not only the Patriot act, but legislation dating all the way Back to the 20s, 30s, and 40s, Eisenhower used this to great effect in the 50s. The United States federal government, with an administrative warrant, does absolutely have the authority to come in and arrest you. What more likely happened is that they simply said, all right, fine, we'll deal with this later. And they just went on to the next door. They don't have time to sit there and play armchair lawn chair lawyer on the steps. And. And by the way, from what I've been told about the situations, individuals getting out there and making the suggestion, well, hey, sir, you can't just. Just deport people. Yeah, okay. Not very good. He does give some advice, by the way, on how to break federal law in the next two minutes of the video, which is always a decision one can make. But before we get to that, I want to talk a little bit about the real meltdown of the day. And that is from Tim Walls. Tim Walls was asked in a press conference today about Immigration Customs Enforcement. He appears to, like, learn, either right before this press conference or during the press conference that ICE is coming back into town, and it's real rough for Tim Wallace. Here you go.
F
But I want to address at the top here, two of our fellow Minnesotans, two of our fellow American citizens, two of our fellow Minnesota American citizens who were minding their own business and living their lives, were detained by and arrested by ice. These chaotic operations are doing.
B
So he says, detained and arrested by ice. Detained, yes. What were they arrested for? Again, he doesn't say what the crimes were. Arrests involve crimes detaining, being questioned, or you are with a group of people actively breaking the law, that's allowed. You can be detained. I can be detained. We've used this example on the show before. If you are in a crack den because you've decided that that nasty, ratty old couch is the perfect place to read Jane Eyre while you're sitting there enjoying the illustrious lifestyle of an 1800s English woman, you can be arrested if the cops come in to rest the crackheads in the crack den. Why? Because you are there with them and the cops want to know, hmm, why are you here with these people violating the law? And if you go, oh, I'm an American citizen and I haven't taken any crack whatsoever, they will still detain you and they have the right to do so. Just a fact of the law, folks.
F
Nothing to make us safer. These chaotic operations are not done in any coordination with law enforcement in the middle of a blizzard. The absolute recklessness of doing some of this and the targeting of a specific community, unconscionable, does nothing to either address immigration. It certainly does nothing to, to address fraud.
B
Okay, so he makes the case that this, these raids have nothing to do with immigration. They do. They are deporting those who have violated the law on immigration. And then, of course, number two, it is in fact about the fraud. And we'll get to that in a second.
C
Producer Nick I wonder why there's no cooperation with local law enforcement. Maybe, you know, the chief of police along with Jacob Frey standing in front of cameras going, we're not going to cooperate with ice.
B
It is amazing. The Democrats are suffering from the same thing right now with regard to Obamacare. They're going, man, these Republicans, they won't fix things. And then the DNC passes a resolution that says do not negotiate no matter what you do. Incredible stuff. We're going to swing back to the commercial real quick. When we get back, we're going to talk a little bit about the Tim Walls because he has an ax to grind and it's with being white, which is a wild decision considering that Tim Walls may be sponsored by Kraft Brand mayonnaise. Don't go anywhere. It's the Tony Kennett cast here on the Daily Signal. The Tony Kennett cast on 93 WIBC. Welcome back to the Tony Kennett cast here, here on the Daily Signal. Nationally syndicated, first on 93 WIBC. I am rather excited to share with you one of the best pieces of news that I've enjoyed today, which is that because of the perhaps 8 to 10 billion dollars now of fraud that has Centered on the majority of arrests and convictions so far being those who emigrated from Somalia and then sent money back to Somalia. Not just people who came in and said, all right, let's do a little bit of fraud, a little bit of stealing, or as Ilhan Omar said, not enough guardrails.
C
It must have been for good reasons, though. They sent the money back there at.
B
Least for like, you know, Al Shabaab, the BLM lady who was arrested in Oklahoma City, at least she bought herself a mansion. She didn't send the money back to Somalia to fund Al Shabaab, the terror network. I mean, she, at least, at least she spent it on herself. I mean, Louis Vuitton ain't gonna stab anybody, you know, hopefully. I sure hope so. So anyway, Tim Wallace, he's got a different theory, though. He said, man, there's a different group of people we need to keep in check. Let me tell you.
D
Do you want to hear more from members and leaders from the Somali community to say we need to hold our, we need to look at ourselves, we need to hold our own neighbors accountable because look at the damage that this has done to our community. What do you want to hear more from itself instead of just saying, don't blame us. Do you want to see more ownership and oversight from within this?
F
Look, it's not.
B
Now that's a pretty good question. And here's why. That's a good question. I have been told. You have been told, but the video bound for a second here. We'll catch it up. You have been told consistently, repeatedly that you as white people, you need to get a check on yourselves. And after there's a shooting, you white people, you need to get it together and take ownership. We did this. And whenever you have some kind of a crime, whenever you have some kind of an incident, you are told you need to get a check on it because it's you, you're the problem. And now here we have a case where it's, wow, the Somali community encouraged this in rallies. They said, we need to give money to Somalia. We need to make sure all American taxpayer money goes to Somalia. My loyalty is very first to Somalia. I'm going to make sure that this happens for Somalia. Well, do they have a responsibility to that? And Tim Wall's response about again, the same logic, carried about the same way.
G
Well.
F
Look, it's not law abiding citizens. If that were the case, there's a lot of white men should be holding a lot of white men accountable.
B
Oh, that's not the law abiding People, if that were the case. Wait a minute. So he says that's not the law abiding people. I assume he means that the people who were arrested for this particular fraud case, again, over 70 of whom are Somalian at this point. That's a, that's a heck of a statistic if that's random. Do you like just Rand, again, when you look at the percentages of the total population in Minnesota, what are the odds of that outside? Wow, that's not cultural at all. There's nothing going on there. Gee whiz. And all from the same places. Jeepers. Like let me put it this way, as in, if you were looking at a town in west southwestern Minnesota where with a population of 536 people and there's one person that's in Somalia, that one person didn't commit the crime. These are Somalians that are committing the crimes from that generalized area, mostly focused in the northeastern portion of the state. Now, Tim Wall's example, his argument is we need to have white men holding white men accountable. I'm confused. What do white men have to do with this? What is, is like, did we invent fraud or something? Was like, you know what, I have an idea, Jim. We're going to send money to Al Shabaab in Somalia.
C
When the Trump administration launched this probe into the fraud, the irs, we were told that it's racist. We're told that it's authoritarian. When they launch probes into Comey Swalwell, both white men were told that it again is authoritarian and racist. So why are you mad that you know, a white man's administration is holding white men accountable?
B
Let's hear him out. Let's hear him out. He says white men are to blame for this.
F
This.
B
I want to hear an example. I mean, look, I'm, again, I'm only half white. I am, I'm sorry. So, so the Native American side of me, not the Elizabeth Warren kind. Maybe I, I, I have some questions. Maybe I don't understand it as well as those of you who are 100% white, again, whatever that means, the definition changes every couple of years. Give him a chance here.
D
Instead of just saying don't blame us. Do you want to see more ownership and oversight from within?
F
Look, it's not law abiding citizens. If that were the case, there's a lot of white men should be holding a lot of white men accountable for the, for the crimes that they have committed. I think for the community to maybe educate their population. Because I think what you're Seeing here.
B
Is the community to educate their population. To educate. Okay, kids, welcome. All right, so everyone gather round. We're all going to practice not committing $8 billion in fraud. Jimmy. Jimmy. Yeah. That's 220 million. Jimmy. You. You're not supposed to be committing fraud.
F
They're secondary victims in this. That there's. There's providers inside the community that are then victimizing the community themselves by signing them up. Because when we're going to some of these people, they're like, I had no idea I was in this program.
B
Gosh, it's almost like if you spoke the same language and were literate, then you wouldn't be taken advantage of as easily.
C
I realize it. He's accidentally outing himself. White men myself need to hold white men myself accountable. I'm not holding myself accountable for the causing of the fraud. I need to.
B
This all boils down to the fact that Tim Wallace has said this consistently. He thinks that, like, there's, like, there's an issue with white people. Again, there is no definition for what that means. When you mean white people, what do you mean? What do you mean white people? Do you mean people with English ancestry, French ancestry? That's a big difference. Are you talking about people from a. Various kinds of Germanic ancestry? There are several kinds of Slavs that are considered white. Good Lord. Belarus means white Russian. Are we talking Scandinavian? What kind of Scandinavian? Are we talking South African? How far back? Colonial? How long do you need to be in a country before you're allowed to be considered from that particular country as a people? Again, are we talking, like, Cleopatra, Greek style? White. What kind of white are we talking about here? And then what about mixed people? A lot of people in the United States are mutts. You try to put a person from southern Georgia next to someone from Connecticut and listen to them try to talk to each other, it's like listening to a goose yelling at a barking dog. They can't understand each other. And I know because I've had in Atlanta International Airport to translate between a young lady working at Popeyes and a young man from New England in a Chris Pavitt suit. It was a nightmare.
C
You speak goose?
B
I do, in fact, speak goose, but that's. That's a question that will have to be for another mail time. I do want to show you that this idea in the left again, I'm not showing you anything new, but it is just very sad where they claim that every problem comes from the fact that they hate themselves for how much melanin exists in their skin. Here's Kentucky State Representative Sarah Stalker, who just goes into committees and units like, you know what? I don't like being white or whatever.
A
I'm gonna be honest. I don't feel good about being white every day.
B
So does this imply that you wake up some mornings and go, boy, you know what? I love being white. Because that's quite the admission. If you wake up one morning and go, like, you would be like, oh, no, I'm afraid not. People with leprosy. Yeah, you can do that. You can wake up and go, oh, my God, no. But if you're just like, a color. I'm afraid not. No.
A
For a lot of reasons. Because it's a point of privilege.
G
Oh.
A
That I get to move through the world in a way that so many of my other colleagues and friends and family members in the community don't get the privilege to do.
B
You mean, like, with no rhythm, with no seasoning? What are you talking about? You get to move through. Incredible.
A
And I'm. And I'm just a female, but just a woman. Just a white woman.
B
I'm just a girl.
A
If I was a white man, I would be functioning from a point of even greater privilege.
B
Don't ask. Representative of Tim Miller from Delaware. He made the decision to go from a white man to a white woman. So it couldn't be that bad.
A
I think we're missing an opportunity.
B
Oh, there it is. I think we're missing. Guys, guys. We're not letting me lecture everyone. I listened to a Facebook video that says, you guys need to start making more brown band aids. Like, what?
C
I have a suggestion for.
B
I hate it. When I was in Indianapolis and I was with these people every single day, I despised it to my very core. I had a boss who was exactly like this. Her name was Bobby. She was insufferable. She never taught a science class in her life, yet she was over math and science in the school next to me. One of the. One of the English people. Her name's Julia, and I kid you not. They both presided over a conversation in which white women argued who was more oppressed in Indianapolis public schools. Black men or gay men? White women on the left. By the way, they both looked like an offshoot of, like, the blonde Jennifer Welch, in case you're wondering which kind of leftist they looked at. Like, just to, you know, for kicks and giggles here, we got to keep moving. Unfortunately, this type of attitude, this type of behavior, this type of language, believe it or not, it does have consequences. We sit here, we laugh. It's the End of the week, when you get in front of the country and say, okay, yeah, there's an issue here. And by the way, communities and culture do matter. Absolutely. They matter. Not predicated on skin color, but predicated on shared culture. It does matter, and there should be a cultural responsibility. There are cultures that are objectively better than others. And when it comes to the conversations that we have, when you start out there, when you get out there and say your skin color inherently makes it good or bad. Excuse me?
C
When.
B
When you say your skin color inherently makes your actions good or bad, what you end up doing is creating a situation in which you are justifying racial violence. That kind of attitude, that kind of behavior where you say, well, you know what? White people are really privileged and we're really bad. Just that we exist. I'm so sorry. I'm white and I feel really bad about it, it leads to situations in which an individual who is not white, again, whatever that means, like Carmelo Anthony killing Austin Metcalfe. What do you see in all of the comments? Well, Austin Metcalfe deserved it. After all, he's white. Daniel Michael killing Jacob Couch. Well, I mean, Jake observed. After all, he's white. The situations in the cases, the acts of violence, all of those are thrown out completely because, well, after all, he's white. Great point. In case, again, ignoring the actual situation, ignoring the actual frame of whether or not the individual was right. I do unfortunately want to share this with you. It bothers me for a number of reasons. This is from an Instagrammer influencer called Tede Kubrows. And here he is. He's ice skating. Didn't get that clip loaded. Let me pull it up here real quick. There we go. He's ice skating. It says, point of view. POV just ruined a kid's Christmas. So he looks at the camera, he smiles, and then he gets down like he's gonna shoot forward on the skates. What's wrong with you? A kid appears to kind of skate in front of him, but doesn't look like he's trying to. He grabs the kid and then pulls him down with him. And the kid starts crying because falling down and basically getting one of your ice skates jammed into your right buttock kind of hurts. So he's upset. Now, the comments to this particular video.
C
Must be sympathetic for somebody who was just assaulted, right?
B
Of course. You would make this about right after all, guy. You know, I mean, whether or not he meant to do it or not, you might say, hey, wow, you know, this is a horrible Event. Hope everyone's okay. Could have been a lot worse. The comments from Charlene, poor boy, bless his cotton socks. And then a like a picture set of somebody trying not to smile. It's the way you scooped him up. I'm crying, laughing. Oh no people essentially a person like a, a white person. And then I'm most retarded Cracker award, medal on the chest.
C
Oh.
B
Just a lot of comments like that in which there are individual whose profiles happen to be black suggesting glee at the thought of this grown adult black man either catching the kid as he fell or pulling him down intentionally. That's not clear Again, it's not even the video itself that is the damning thing. It is the response to it. And as we see every crime now, well if he's white he deserved it. And if it's a victim and they are black or brown, oh, it's clearly a racial crime. This will get worse and worse and is getting worse and worse and continues to additional acts of violence. Quite a few of them. We're going to keep moving on here. Tim Walls in the meantime, he's losing his mind. A lot of normal questions from reporters, not just from right wing outlets. We're talking like again Kre 11 up in Minnesota, a left wing network asking just normal questions to waltz and he cannot stand it.
F
Again, this is 80 people or so that have been convicted in this. Maybe some more in that out of a broader ring. Medicaid fraud will stretch across all racial demographics. All, all ethnic groups.
B
So but it didn't here why this wasn't just normal Medicare Medicaid fraud. It's not as though someone said oh I have my, my grandmother lives with me and she's definitely still alive and here's her information. Give me money. That kind of stuff is small particular cases of fraud. And yeah, it does happen across a lot of different racial demographics. Absolutely. That's not what happened here though. That's some serious gaslighting. Says the man standing in front of the Minnesota flag which now kind of mirrors the kind of mimics the Somalian flag. Interestingly enough Tim Wallace says, well everyone does it. No, not everyone coordinates directly coordinates with 70 other people inside their community partly because of cultural norms in an honor culture, not a trust culture, an honor culture and then commits billions of dollars in fraud. $250 million per Somali restaurant kinds of fraud.
F
I think it's really important for us to note each community's got this in their own midst. But to blame them and say that they should have been responsible for Stopping it. I think that's a pretty hard reach. I think we continue to educate folks about why they shouldn't commit crimes. You would hope that it's being taught both at home and at schools and in our society. But no, I think this idea that the Somali community is to blame for this because they didn't do more. I think that's how we got into this.
B
Again, if there was a community. All right, let's, let's take an example here. Let's, let's craft a hypothetical because I think it's worthwhile. Allow us to suggest there is a community in Cumberland, Kentucky. A lot of my family hails from the Cumberland, Kentucky area, Pulaski County. And so down there there's a community. Let's say one of the small towns got 200 people in it. All of them are white, whatever, all Protestant, probably all go to one of the Baptist churches. It's a monocultural area in that town of Kentucky. Okay, let us say that in this instance, there is a young lady who is dating a much, much, much older man or is spending too much time as a teenager around a much, much older man. And the community has a responsibility to say, hey, girl, you need to be careful. You need to be careful. Because when young, really young ladies, teenagers hang around older guys, sometimes really bad things can happen. You stay away from him. And then if that old man touches her, takes advantage of her, the community is absolutely supposed to respond and hold a higher standard of we're going to keep an eye out for this kind of crap so it doesn'. Happen again. That is the community's responsibility. Is it a responsibility because the community is white? Is it a responsibility because the community is from Cumberland in Kentucky? No, it is a responsibility because that shared community has shared values. As I said, they all likely go to the same kinds of church. In Somalia, they pride themselves as being a monocultural community to the point where they have big arguments over which clan in that cultural community, where they all agree that the clan system has moral weight. They've agreed on that as a culture. Therefore, yeah, if you have people that are committing crimes in your group, your friend group, your family group, yes, it's your authority. It is your responsibility to say, dude, stop it. You're making us look bad. But when the community instead helps hide it and instead says, well, it just kind of shush up that, that, that pastor or that priest molesting that child, then you get a well earned bad reputation. You catch me. You're part of a church that covers up a sexual Scandal. You're part of the problem. You're part of an active cultural community that covers up $8 billion in fraud. You're part of the problem. Deal with it. You don't like it. Tough. Pretending not to understand things like this, like Gavin Newsom does is not at all, not at all going to help. And I do want to. I do want to get to that. So Newsom is very, very, very angry that people are calling Tim Walls retarded and people are calling him out for the Somali fraud thing. Now, I could show you, by the way, Tim Walls is doing all of the PR damage control in the entire world. He's out there saying, the buck stops with me. If you commit fraud in Minnesota, you will be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Trying to help. I pointed out that translated into Somali, that's bahala richu wu ila juga sanya. Tim Walls didn't say that in Somali like Jacob Frey did. Oh, thank you. My Somali is a little rusty, like most things in Somalia.
C
Notice that Tim Walls didn't have the gumption to actually say it in front of a camera, too.
B
Of course not. But alas, Gavin Newsom, he's angrier than anybody for some reason that people are mocking Tim Walls. So this brings us to the other crew, the front runner, according to Polymarket for President, nominee for the Democrats in 2028, Gavin Newsom.
G
Whoever the next president needs to be their parent. We can't keep this up.
B
Notice he begins by saying the next president. I didn't have this clip scripted out. I'm just defining. He is gunning for the presidency. That's all that's on his mind. So the most thing. Thing he's worried about the most, Tim Walls and being called names.
G
We're polarized, we're traumatized, we're exhausted. I can't even conceive of three more years of this. It really is what's happening to our kids. Their brains are already being scrambled by social media and everything else we didn't talk about, but this is their role model. A guy who calls someone a retard, a guy who calls someone a piggy. This is our role model, the President of the United States.
B
So he's very, very upset that Trump used the word piggy, and he's very, very, very upset that Tim Walls was called seriously retarded. I will remind you that it is Governor Gavin Newsom who has now, because again, because Governor Braun of Indiana supported redistricting, has now posted on social media that that Tim Walls, or excuse me, he said to Mike Braun that his knee pads were on the way. In other words, suggesting that Braun is just trying to give Trump oral sex, I guess, is the idea of the insult. I'm going to remind everyone when it comes to Tim Walls, who was happy since he got into politics to engage in character and physical based insults. Here's my standard. If you engage in it, you're fair game. That's why I make fun of J.B. pritzker. J.B. pritzker has made fun of people based on their physical appearance for a very long time. And so I will make fun of JB Pritzker for being fat. If there's someone who's larger, who is objectively fat, they don't make fun of people for their physical appearance. I leave him alone. That's the standard. And if Gavin Newsom's going to get out there and cry, Trump called people retarded. You participate in the exact same game. You are literally modeling your entire social media account after Donald Trump's speaking style. And this gets to the trans issue because Newsom has also decided that he's going to go all in on the trans children issue, which, again, a political choice for sure, not necessarily a good one.
G
We didn't get into trans sports. That's an issue no one wants to hear about because 80% of the people listening disagree with my position on this. But I. But it comes from my heart, not just my head. It wasn't a political evolution, it was position. Being that I don't think it's. I want to see trans kids. I have a trans godson.
B
I want to see trans kids. I have a trans godson. Notice he didn't say son. Gavin Newsom's son is a conservative. I think it's. Kimberly Guilfoyle's son is the conservative and is a big fan of Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin and Steven Crowder. And he's a really good dude. I have interacted with him, I think, once, but really normal dude again. Gavin Newsom is out here saying, I have a godson who's trans. All this other nonsense, nothing that Gavin Newsom actually has personal experience with. He doesn't really want to engage with it there. But then when it actually gets to trying to seek after that white woman affirmation, virtue signaling, vote, he's out here saying, I want to see trans children. Trans the children. When Elon Musk called him out for this. Elon Musk has direct experience with one of his children going through gender dysphoria. Musk called him out on it and said, I, this is, this is wrong. It's not a good thing. And Gavin Newsom, press team, whatever, ended up getting out on social media and posted, quote, correct, we're sorry your daughter hates you, Elon. So throwing the man's, the man's kids right into the mix and their insults Again, once you participate, you open a lot of things up for yourself. Now Musk responded saying, I assume you're referring to my son Xavier, who has a tragic mental illness caused by the evil woke mind virus you push on vulnerable children. Fact check, true. I love Xavier very much and I hope he recovers. Again, fact check, true. There are so many heartbroken parents and grandparents who have children who have either made really terrible choices or, or who are struggling with the consequences of really terrible choices by themselves or others, and they desperately want healing and help for their child. Just because you don't agree with the decision that your child makes doesn't mean you don't love them. And it's, it's really, I mean, it's, it's gross. Obviously, the average American, the average person understands that's a disgusting thing. Now he mentions his, his other children, you know, loving him very much. I want to get to a different point of this Gavin interview, because if you're going to get involved in the 2028 race or whatever, getting caught in really silly, stupid lies, probably not the move. Probably not the move. So Ezra Klein, who conducted this particular interview, posted, quote, trump often lies about Democrats giving health care to undocumented immigrants in California. Newsom actually did it and defends it. I'm going to read that again. It may make the struggle. Ezra Klein here, who, by the way, normally I disagree with him, but he's usually not stupid and a liar to that degree. We'll try again. Trump often lies about Democrats giving healthcare to undocumented immigrants in California. Newsom actually did it and defends it. So then that would make Trump not a liar.
C
Yeah. The lie that he's referencing there is the one where Trump says leftist governors allow illegals to abuse Medicare as it.
G
Relates to undoc health care. Yeah, I'm proud of that because I believe in universal health care.
B
Oh.
C
Oh, shoot.
B
Trump was exactly correct. Exactly correct.
C
Hmm.
B
Many such cases as the man, it's not happening.
C
And even if it is, it's a good thing.
B
Now he's, you know, again, Newsom's getting into the same kind of, you know, encouraging violent rhetoric as a lot of other individuals. I'll remind you that Gavin Newsom signed a bill during the last election cycle forbidding the use of AI generated images or videos depicting political officials or candidates.
C
People hurt his feelings with the AI.
B
Yeah. Wrong and evil. So then Gavin Newsom posts this video this week, cuffing season, and it's Donald Trump, President Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and then White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and handcuffs.
C
Yeah, I don't think that they participated in acting out this video.
B
No.
C
In the.
B
Like in the car and being led away and stuff like that. I do find it interesting. What's good for the goose does not appear to be good for the gander. Now, again, pulling the. The hypocritical card on Democrats. That's easy. Not a difficult thing to do. I mean, again, day ending and why kind of stuff. When you've lost Nicki Minaj, though, that's a problem. Nicki Minaj may be more upset. That's. That's Sheree Tanadar. That's not. That's not Governor Gavin Newsom maybe more upset than. Than just about anybody on this particular issue. Nicki Minaj, who's spent a lot of time over the last couple of weeks going after the Nice. She's going a lot.
C
Yeah, She's. She's gaining a lot of traction moving into the political sphere. She's putting a lot of support with JD Vance.
B
Oh, we did have those particular B roll footage pieces loaded. I was frustrated. No, we do have those. So sorry. I apologize to the viewers. Yeah. Here was the stuff I've been talking about. Excuse me. Ezra Klein's post and all that. Sorry. Nicki Minaj has recently become very, very.
C
Very political, bringing attention to the Christian genocide in Nigeria.
B
Right now. There are those out there, like for example, Tucker Carlson, who are currently trying to say there is no Christian genocide happening in Nigeria. That's wrong, stupid and evil. But in the meantime, Nicki Minaj, who has been advocating on behalf of aid to the Christians in Nigeria, which is excellent, she starts going after Gavin Newsom with pictures. AI generated images of the doll Chucky from the horror movies. Child's Play. Now, I'm gonna level with you guys. Something you didn't ask to know about me. I don't care for horror movies. I don't care for them. I don't find it fun to be scared or spooked. I think the closest one that I kind of like is I like the Purge. Okay. The first one. I'm not much of a. I don't know. I'm not much of a horror movie. Kind of guy. But Chucky, classic horror. In fact, this movie is responsible for one of the reasons. I don't really care for those kinds of movies. But she starts going after Newsom and says, gavin is the cute boy who got everything handed to him because of how cute and sexy and hot and smoking he was. Ooh, look at him sitting there in that suit with the sneakers on. He thinks he's Tom Cruise. Only difference is his next mission is impossible. Lmao. He should get another leading role. And then it's just Chucky looking smug. All right. And then Nicki Minaj saying, and then this is Chucky with like the. It looks like a yardstick. It says, imagine being the guy running on, wanting to see trans kids. Haha. Not even a trans adult would run on that. Normal adults wake up and think they want to see healthy, safe and happy kids. Not Gav. The Gav knots Gav out. Send in the next guy. I'm bored. When Nicki Minaj is the voice of reason. The woman who said, let's go to the beach each. Let's go get a wave. Then we've jumped a shark somewhere. I'm not exactly against it, though. This is hilarious.
C
I think what interests me about this story is a lot of the time you see actors fall away from speaking about politics because it's unsuccessful. But with her, her story started out much more philanthropically. Is that how you say it? Philanthropically? And then transitioned into politics because she was then ragged across the coals for trying to be a supporter of people who didn't have a voice.
B
I'm just struck that someone would wake up in her position and finish it out with this, because I think you've got good points. But just again, the timeline that we're living in. So quote, oh, Gavi Pooh. And she spells it like Winnie the Pooh. Which led to another series of memes we're not going to get to today. It only gets worse from here for you, buddy. It's the end of the road for you, my love. She's saying this, and it's Chucky looking out of the dark. I am. I am now told that someone called the FBI over this. I want to know what that phone call sounded like. Nicki Minaj is tweeting about Gavin Newsom. Maybe it was Tim Walls. Tim Walls crying about that. And also driving by my house.
C
Didn't have anything else to do.
B
So she says, get on the nearest jet Ski and let that beautiful hair blow in the wind. It will make you happier than this race that you will not win. Enjoy life piece. It starts out so threatening and it ends up again, I'm just. Incredible timeline that we're living in. We are going to scoot away for one little final commercial break here before a bonus tonus segment that I'm. I'm gonna level with you guys. Children probably shouldn't be tuning in for this one, so if you've got kids around, I don't recommend it. Viewer discretion advised, as they say. I know that this segment won't be aired on FCC spectrum air, so we don't have to worry about that. And we'll be back in just a second. Don't go anywhere. Little TKC After Dark. It's the Tony Kinnit cast here on the Daily Signal. It's the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WIPC. Welcome back to the Tony Knitt cast here on the Daily Signal. Where. Where again, viewer discretion advised. Nothing like super blatantly terrible. It's just what we are talking about is probably an inappropriate subject for children. So again, if you have kids, you're watching, you're listening in the car with kids on the van on the way to school next morning. Don't. This is not for them. This first thing, though, is for everyone. James o', Keefe, undercover investigator. He has some really cool moments, has some kind of wacko moments out there. But James o', Keefe, he was meeting with, I believe, a professor from Georgetown University, who in this undercover interview in which James o' Keefe is disguised in glasses.
C
Superman out here.
B
Yeah, yeah. He gets the professor to call conservative black people coons, which is a hella racist thing to say. But then, well.
E
Well.
B
Yeah. He takes off the glasses and then points to behind the professor's shoulder at the camera. Well, the thing is, is that I actually am James o'.
F
Keefe.
B
I kid you not. The professor goes, are you rude? Yeah. No, you're not. No, I'm not. I'm not James o'.
E
Keeffe, Are you?
F
Not really?
C
Yes.
B
Suddenly he's like reaching in his pockets to get ready to get up and go.
E
And you.
B
You don't know that. So the man starts in this like, food court establishment thing, starts running away from the camera. Why? Because he was caught on undercover camera calling black people. He doesn't like a very racist term for a black person.
C
You might not get this reference, but in WWE where Sting gets lowered and falls through the floor of the ring and then he has a mask pulled off because Hulk Hogan thought it was a doll and it turned out to still be him.
B
Yeah, yeah. And it was still like he hadn't had that.
C
The.
B
Was it the same paint on the face and stuff? Yeah, I do.
C
That's the exact moment of. It wasn't me. It's really me.
B
Incredible. Let's watch him run out. He's like booking it now. I've been caught being racist. Oh. And then he falls down. Oh, it's incredible. So I want to remind you of the sequence of events. So the guy's talking to him. And by the way, one of the secret to James o' Keefe's interview, like, undercover interview style. He's very good at pretending to be gay. Seen it in person. Talk to him about it. That's his style. He will lure someone into a little gay, not so gay kind of interview date and he'll get them to say really awful stuff.
C
He's also really great at cross dressing and convincing people.
B
He's very good at cross dressing. He didn't do that this time, though. He has glasses on and I.
C
It's literally just a pair of reading glasses.
B
Well, it's not even sunglasses and they're. They're clear glasses. It's not like it's obscuring his face. Yeah, it is like. Well, the thing is, is that I actually am.
F
Jane Sukee.
B
Cox has said. Wait a minute. So just to be real with you guys, I am actually J.D. vance, Vice President of the United States. You had no idea until now. That's right. The whole time that I said, my family's from Kentucky and I'm a Hoosier. My family's from Kentucky and I'm a Buckeye. Oh, I can't. I can't. I'm sorry. I would never admit that I was a Buckeye, but you were fooled. The glasses. We've been making fun of Superman and Clark Kent all these years. There you go, ladies and gentlemen. Incredible. So again, that just. That's something we had to share with you at the end of our wild coverage before we get to the rather inappropriate stuff After Dark section. Excellent. So do we actually have anything interesting at all? I don't know if we even have any. I don't know if we want any After Dark music for the show. All right, it's time for some TKC After Dark. So the House Democrat Oversight Committee made the interesting decision bold, a rather interesting decision to release, I think, 19 photos from the Epstein files. Now, these particular photos here, we're going to pull them on screen here. These particular new batch of the photos are considered really A nothing burger by a lot of the media. The Democrats really thought that there's, like, a picture of Trump with, like, a bunch of models at one point, and that was supposed to be an own. But it looks like Epstein was collecting blackmail on Trump for, like, women that had been around Trump that Epstein could then use to bribe to try to get information out of Trump as an informant or a mediary. Right.
C
When did Bill Gates fall out of good graces to have a bunch of pictures of him and Epstein released as well?
B
Yeah. So ever since Bill Gates got out there and said, climate change isn't gonna kill us all. Now all of these photos with Bill Gates and Epstein are being released. Bill Gates also hanging out with the pilot of the Epstein jet or whatever. The most concerning photo, the photo that the House Democrats were not expecting. We're not expecting to be in this photo batch that people would pay attention to. Again, they have Trump with models. They're like, ah, we got him. Trump's straight. Ah. Again, nothing new or interesting. But they released a picture of a glove. And this glove is. It's an interesting kind of a glove. It is a. A glove that is manufactured like a rubber glove that is textured.
C
Rubber.
B
Yeah. The fingers are textured to mimic sex toys. That's what they are. So each of the fingers is differently made, rather interesting. The thumb is just this really massive bulb that seems like it would be very difficult to use. Just take that how you will.
C
Why did you say that?
B
I don't care. This is. This is Tony Ken at After Dark. So we're saying some things that perhaps may not normally be said. It hurts. It hurts to cover this nonsense. I'm sure the gloves probably not that comfortable either, but we'll have to wait for congressional testimony on that.
C
You know, like the sweaty hand you get when you're doing dishes with rubber gloves and the water's too hot.
B
Don't ask me to think about what it would be like to wear the Mr. Clean BDSM glove. I don't. I don't want. I don't want to imagine such things. I'll pass. But because the Internet is the Internet, and we love and hate the Internet very dearly. There is an interesting character on kind of the meme side of things. His name is Magilis. Excellent dude. Quality stuff. He decided, I'm gonna invest my entire afternoon to collecting photoshops and jokes other people have made of this glove. This weird, bizarre, black sex toy glove. And we're gonna. Producer Daniel's probably having a stroke that we're talking about this on the show. We're gonna take this, we're gonna Photoshop it, everyone. Then we're gonna send all of these to Tony because he liked our Franklin segment. And so now you guys are gonna suffer with the rest of us here. So the first horrible decision is the sex toy glove is the Thanos. Fine, I'll do it myself. Great. Photoshop. Terrible.
C
Awful.
B
Again. Why then. I recognize the scene, but what is this from? Like, I recognize the footage. It's not from Silence of the Lambs. What's this from? Anywho, I recognize the scene. Excellent one as well.
C
Somebody in the audience will have to tell us.
B
Excellent. Then we have Epstein. As though this is the Nintendo Power Glove. Part of me died when I didn't get the Power glove for Christmas 1989. The motto for the Nintendo Power Glove was, everything else is just child's play. Horrible, horrible joke. How have you immediately thought of that, though? Some people have too much Internet time on their hands. A little video game reference as well. Link Pulling the horrible glove out of the box. Yep. Ocarina of time. They're very, very, very awful. My favorite. This one is my favorite. O.J. simpson.
C
The glove don't fit. You must acquit.
B
That's right. If the glove don't fit, add some spit. I'm sorry. If the glove don't fit, you must acquit.
C
Thank.
B
Producer Nick is giving me the worst of looks right now. You know, I didn't post the picture. I didn't. I didn't even make that joke. I stole that joke and said it aloud on the air. Your booze mean nothing to me. I've seen what makes you cheer. Uh, the next one says, Hamburger Helper has the chance to do the funniest thing ever. If you are on the Hamburger Helper marketing team, you have a responsibility to make this particular Internet joke. The comments, please stop. I warned you this section was going to be inappropriate. I'm sorry, folks. This one is just very, very inappropriate. This is from Magilis. He insisted my hands like this so that hers can look like this. Terrible, awful, horrible. Your sense of humor right in the gutter. Um, the reason that I bring this up, I did tell him I was going to be sharing these with y' all on the show tonight, and he was excited. He said, I'll buy a couple so that you can gift them to your listeners. If any of you reach out to us via the Mail Time segment and ask how you can get your own, we'll find a way to block Your IP address from ever accessing this, this show again. Don't do it. Blocked, reported. And my mom will call your mom. Don't you do it.
C
So these are available. I thought this was just like an Epstein special.
B
Well, like, he had it custom made. No, no, these are the thing. These are a thing. People immediately shared the link to where you could go get it. I haven't clicked on the link to follow it because some things are better left unknown.
C
My opinion of humanity, stoops to new lows.
B
And again, it's painful. It's awful. But, you know, in. In the darkest of dark times, if you don't laugh.
C
The comments said five finger. Thank you, Sandra Joy. Mm.
B
It's, it's. This job is so much fun. I can't believe it. Oh, we're gonna get emails. Oh, we're gonna get emails. Oh, man. I'm gonna get a text from my pastor. Hey, sometimes you have to. At the end of a very long week, which this absolutely was, you have to laugh at this. So we'll go back for one final little commercial break here, and then we're gonna do a little bit of mail time just here at the very end of the show. And to close out the week, it's the Tony Kennett cast here on the Daily Signal. We will be right back. Mail time. Mail time. Tony Kennett cast. All right, if there are any of you still here, we do regret to inform you that producer Daniel is now dead. He is no longer with us after the last segment.
C
Rest in peace.
B
Yes, rest in peace. So a couple of questions tonight that I think absolutely should be answered. So first, this would be from David. He says, I have a question. Is it not time to disregard federal judge decisions that are unconstitutional and are illegal by statute in nature, or to opt out of the scope of their decisions? Basically, where the federal government says, judge Polizidis, I don't like her, no more of her decisions will be included, maybe ever. And the answer to your, to your question is. Yeah, they really could. The Trump administration could simply state that because Judge Paula Zinnis appears to be corrupted. I mean, that would force the House to do something. That's an interesting perspective. I still think that the impeachment investigation angle is just really a lot easier. Now, when I say easier, I mean constitutionally easier. There's literally a pathway that says Constitution. The Congress can drag them right before, investigate him and impeach him. But that requires fortitude of will. Now, in the meantime, can they actually get out there and, you know, just say we're not following her orders. Yeah, maybe. I still think you'd probably see an appeals court or maybe the Supreme Court take it up. That's an interesting kind of a constitutional crisis for sure. Let me look up like the Andrew Jacksonian period in the next administration after Jackson said that's his opinion, now let him enforce it. And we'll get back to you a little bit. Next question. Really, really good comes from Carl. And then there's a lot of Ls on the end of the name. Asked if the legacy media, he's seeing all these mergers going around, if the legacy media is actually going to get back on its feed at some point, because after all, the pendulum swings to the left and to the right. Well, doesn't the, the media maybe swing in power and out of power? And the answer to your question is they do. But it is very, very, very difficult for any kind of organization, like a media entity to come back into the graces of the people once its credibility has been destroyed. There's a 60 Minutes clip that I'm trying to find. We had it. We had it bookmarked. I'm trying to pull it up really quick here. In which they have pointed out that since I think it was 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley. Yes. He said since the American people have grown really, really, really tired of the way that legacy media operates, they can't find guests and interview subjects anymore here.
H
Walter was a friend of mine, and I can tell you from personal experience just how moved and honored Walter would be to have his name associated with USC Annenberg with this award and also bestowed upon all of these tremendous colleagues here in this room today. So thank you. Thank you very much. Time for 60 minutes.
B
It's a terrible time for 60 minutes. Oh, it's really bad.
H
As Marty mentioned, our corporation was attempting to merge with another company and it required the Trump administration's approval to do so. And a great deal of pressure was placed on 60 Minutes.
B
And they had been caught breaking FCC regulations on election interference three times at least.
H
We lost two great news executives on either side of that story. You just saw, as Marty mentioned, Bill Owens, the executive producer of 60 Minutes, Under Pressure, was forced to resign. And then after that story aired, we lost our news Division President, Wendy McMahon. These were not managers. These were leaders in our profession.
F
The.
H
Most outstanding leaders in journalism I have ever known in my career.
B
So he just tells, talks about how wonderful they are.
H
They got them all on the air with an absolute minimum of interference. Nothing that anyone in this room would have been Alarmed by.
B
There you go. So he says essentially three things in a statement. I'm not going to play the rest of it because he drones on. But it is rather important in this particular instance, he makes the case that first of all, they didn't do anything wrong. None of you would have been bothered by the way that we maliciously edited those particular interviews of Kamala Harris, of Donald Trump, of Kristi Noem, that kind of nonsense. Again, the stuff that they were just caught on. There's a lot of stuff that people are suggesting that there are additional videos they haven't been caught or the statute of limitations might have passed on. FCC implication there. But then he makes an interesting case. He says, people, that 60 Minutes can't get guests to come on the show because of, quote, the fear that has spread across the country, end quote. So he's making the case they can't get new hires and they can't get people on the show. They're losing staff and they're also losing an audience. They're also losing subjects to cover. Why? Because of this fear that spread across the country. This is the real reason that media like these institutions, they're not going to recover. Barry Weiss is not going to be able to pull the brand of 60 Minutes out of the trash can. She's not going to do it. The reason that she's not going to be able to do it is that once an institution is tainted like this and then you have the remnants, the, the, the skeletal remains of said institution who believe deeply, passionately, they didn't do anything wrong. And also we now admit that we can't get people to work for us because we're awful. We can't get people to interview because we're awful. And then also no one wants to watch us. How do you do an upswing for that? I mean, they're not even pulling a Blockbuster. Last ditch attempt where Blockbuster also did what Netflix did for a hot minute and tried doing the movie rental by mail situation that Netflix was succeeding in. The CBS isn't even trying to turn around. You'll see CNN's Jake Tapper try to do this every once in a while. He'll be like, I am being objective again. And then in 15 minutes he's like, why are you Republican and evil? You can't admit you had any fault. So there's no reason innately, morally, deeply for you to change.
C
I'd say it's even worse for them than that. There are niches in industries such as this that will be filled, which means 60 Minutes will soon have a competitor that does their job better than them, more honestly than them, and more effective than them in the sense of not only better in the content they provide, but the service that they're providing for people.
B
I, I regret to inform all of you that McGillis has been watching us on the show as we go through this and he said his offer stands and that you should contact me on social media for your very own five finger discount glove today. Um, so I just want you to know that I am suffering, all of you out there, far more than any staff member at 60 Minutes ever could. Um, so I, I, although I do, I, there are a couple of Senate Democrat staffers that watch the show. There's a market here. I'm sorry.
C
We are never going to accept it as a sponsor. Never. I am putting my foot down again.
B
It's a really great time. That all said, I think that unless there are any other very pressing mail time questions on that side of things, I want every single one of you to have a great weekend. By all means, put the phone down, put the computer down, the TV down, unless you are watching Christmas movies. We are. I'm gonna watch White Christmas as my favorite Christmas movie. I love it. Can't wait for it. Little Bing Crosby on the tv. We're gonna watch the Santa Clause because Tim Allen's funny, and then Home alone because Kevin McAllister beating the crap out of Harry and Marv never gets old. One and two. So you guys have a very wonderful weekend. We'll see you on Monday with our regularly scheduled and much more audience appropriate content. It's the Tony Kenneth cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated and first on 93 WIBC. Take care.
"CLOWN SHOW: Judges Order Violent Illegals Released, Epstein Photo Bonanza, Gavin Newsom Loses It"
Host: Tony Kennett (B) with Producer Nick (C)
Date: December 13, 2025
Podcast: The Daily Signal
In this packed episode, Tony Kennett delivers acerbic and insightful commentary on several major news stories: controversial judicial decisions allowing the release of violent illegal immigrants, the expanding Minnesota Somali fraud scandal, the release of new Epstein investigation photos, and Democratic leaders’ public meltdowns, especially Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom. Kennett uses sharp humor and an unapologetic, Midwestern conservative perspective to analyze the political and cultural fallout from these events.
“You can come into the country illegally. You can commit crimes before you're here, commit crimes while you're here, and then some white lady will complain about it and then release you back into society...” — Tony Kennett, [05:08]
“Activist judges will not stop ICE from arresting and deporting MS-13 gang members.”
“If you don't want ICE in your neighborhood, turn over these criminal aliens — that's who we're out there looking for.” — ICE Statement (Tony reading), [11:08]
“You're part of a church that covers up a sexual scandal, you're part of the problem. You're part of an active cultural community that covers up $8 billion in fraud, you're part of the problem. Deal with it.” — Tony Kennett, [36:21]
“I’m proud of that because I believe in universal health care.” — Newsom (quoted), [45:50]
“If the glove don’t fit, you must acquit.” [61:03]
“If the glove don’t fit, add some spit. I'm sorry. If the glove don’t fit, you must acquit.” — Tony Kennett, [61:03]
“We’ve been making fun of Superman and Clark Kent all these years. There you go, ladies and gentlemen. Incredible.” — Tony Kennett, [55:14]
“You can come into the country illegally. You can commit crimes before you're here, commit crimes while you're here, and then some white lady will complain about it and then release you back into society...”
— Tony Kennett, [05:08]
“If the glove don’t fit, add some spit.”
— Tony Kennett, [61:03] (Epstein-Photo meme segment)
“You’re part of an active cultural community that covers up $8 billion in fraud, you’re part of the problem. Deal with it.”
— Tony Kennett, [36:21]
“I'm gonna be honest. I don't feel good about being white every day...because it's a point of privilege.”
— Sarah Stalker (KY State Rep.) [28:21]
On Minneapolis Somali community:
“If you have people that are committing crimes in your group, your friend group, your family group, yes, it's your authority. It is your responsibility to say, dude, stop it. You're making us look bad.”
— Tony Kennett, [36:21]
The episode is marked by sharp sarcasm, unfiltered Midwestern conservatism, and a relentless focus on what Kennett perceives as hypocrisy, media bias, and failures of Democratic officials. Humorous asides and explicit meme culture references punctuate serious critiques.
Listeners who missed the episode will walk away with a clear, engaging roadmap of the show’s themes, the most significant developments, and the context and commentary that define The Tony Kennett Cast’s unique approach to national news and politics.
