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 WIBC on CYTV here on the Daily Signal. Good evening and welcome to the Tony Knitt cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated and first on 93 WIBC out of Indianapolis. We have got quite a show lined up for you this evening anywhere and everywhere, full of news, jam packed. So let's get right to it. The Iranians over on the Operation Epic Fury side have lost another Basij commander. So that's their, their state police force. Who is the group that went around killing all of the protesters by the 30s and maybe up to 40 thousands. This is now the second Basij commander that they have lost in 24 hours. So yesterday the previous brand new head of the Basij, Gholam Reza Soleimani, was eliminated. And then 24 hours, a guy who had just replaced him has now also been eliminated. We don't even know this dude's name yet. He's just also completely out of the picture. Now we'll get to the comment from the secretary of War on this in a couple of minutes. But at least for the update, Reuters is now reporting that Iranian or Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps units are reportedly refusing duty. They're not showing up for certain duties. There have been intercepted radio communications in which intelligence assets, including the Israelis, including the United States, including other intelligence assets that haven't yet been named, have been reaching out to IRGC and essentially saying you're going to die unless you go ahead and throw down your weapon and quit. And then what usually follows is either a lot of panicking in Farsi or the muffled static of a pager going off. Now the scenes from Iran now as the Internet blocking has started to fail at large, is getting increasingly violent. All of viewer discretion advised for those on the live stream. We are now seeing video of essentially gunfire on the streets, somewhat targeted drive bys of the IRGC police facilities. Now there is no second amendment in Iran So so far the only two places that they could be getting these particular firearms are either from defectors from the irgc, I should say three places from the Kurds who already do have them, on the western border of Iran, or perhaps the Pakistanis, the eastern borders of Iran, or then through an international gun trafficking kind of system. Now this does bring us to something that is, how do I put this in a news broadcaster fashion, really freaking cool. So we are starting to witness a series of number station shortwave communications that Iran is desperately trying to block, but simply does not have the radio ability to do. So this particular intelligence broadcast was captured in Italy on 7, 9 or 10 kilohertz. That's a number station. So there is someone out there somewhere with a one time pad. And that one time pad somewhere on it is written some way to decode that particular phrase, giving orders to operators which are covertly moving around inside of Iran again. Also, we should report that all commercial satellite imagery over Iran has now been shut down, that being by the United States, by the five allies. Because the last thing that is wanted as some of the satellite footage that begins to update and refresh some of the photos on the more publicly available satellite footage and operations data might be leaked at this point back to Iran and provided additional intelligence. It's reported that the idea to just go ahead and remove a lot of that access and blur portions of Iran was proposed by Saudi Arabia and Iran has completely lost Saudi Arabia at this point. The Foreign minister, Faisul bin Farwan Al Sahood in a conference today just went off on Iran in general and said, look, you are just wantonly targeting any foreign nation that you can, any surrounding Muslim Brotherhood country. You're throwing missiles at it with reckless abandon. And we're not fans of it. I don't know how they claim to be fighting for Islamic causes while attacking Islamic countries. They are not attacking a single nation. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, uae, Oman, Lebanon, Jordan, Azerbaijan. Now we're going to get to Azerbaijan and specifically Lebanon here in a couple of minutes. But he's listing all of these countries that are supposed to be aligned with Iran. Again, Iran's supposed to be this defender of Islamic family values and, you know, apple pie and the way, or whatever, you know, not cold beer on a Friday night, that's haram, but you know what I'm saying, Turkey, all these countries are Islamic countries, yet Iran attacks them. And even before this war, what was Iran's contribution in the issues related to the Islamic world? Ah, now we get to the problem. This is going to be the long axe that Saudi Arabia has long been waiting to grind. What were you doing for the rest of the Arabic countries, the rest of the Islamic founded countries before all of this? Because now you're claiming, well, I mean, you know, we're just defending ourselves. And then, you know, because the guy who's saying that statement blows up. Well, you weren't exactly doing something to promote brotherhood and friendship. And as a result, Azerbaijan and Israel are for the first time joining diplomatic conversations officially with other Islamic foreign ministers. You're seeing the Abrahamic Accords brought up in real time. Now, I do want to point out from a commenter and a good friend, may I say, goat slobber, who not only caught my joke about the whole family values thing, little, little, little joke there, but also that the foreign minister of Saudi Arabia's mustache is wildly short. We're talking Charlie Chaplin short. I don't know. I'm glad that some of these particular fashion fads aren't as popular over here, to be honest with you. But alas, more news to dive into. So this brings us to some of the comments on the defection from inside the country footage which has now been confirmed as real. So one piece of footage was ended up being AI. It was a thermal image of two IRGC individuals apparently surrendering. This other footage, however, we have an individual speaking in Farsi, his voice lowered. This has been confirmed as real and he has said, quote, everyone is gone or leaving. I'm going home too. It seems like the regime is finished and we should surrender. I just hope the people don't take revenge on us now. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant echoed some of the same things from the administration communication today. This is nonsense, Maria. You know, for the regime, you know, we're back to the stuff of Baghdad, Bob, here the regime is in collapse and the people are starting to turn against them. We're starting to see defections at Treasury. We now know where the Iranian leadership bank accounts are and those are being frozen and we will, we will hold them and see who comes forward in terms of defections. But we're starting to see defections throughout the regime and that's how this ends. So, you know, the idea of some tolling arrangement is ridiculous, what President Trump is talking about. And to be clear, he has focused on Carg island since 1988. Ah, let's talk about Carg Island a little bit more here in a moment because there is a rather interesting new kind of international fear that is settling over not a lot of Western Europe and Not the United States, over some media entities in the United States for sure. That when the United States likely ends up taking Carg island, the small coral piece of land 15 miles off the coast of Iran at the the northern tip of the Persian Gulf, and essentially manages oil exports for what might be the new regime or regimes in a Balkanization scenario. Well, not only is oil going to drop to about 60 bucks a barrel, but it's also very likely that you are going to see some entities who are not friendly to the United States going through severe energy crises because they had before purchased all of their energy from Iran. Now, I am skipping a little bit ahead here in my notes, but I do want to point this out. That's happening now. That is happening right now. According to reporter Tyler Durden, as well as a couple of reports from Reuters and the Associated Press, in Vietnam right now, in, excuse me, just 24 hours, a 40% increase in all energy prices, either liquid or station electric, have gone into effect. And Vietnam is essentially announcing in small pockets that they are completely out of fuel. They're out of potable unleaded fuel for gasoline. They're out of any kind of airplane fuel. They can't get jet fuel out of China for love or money. China is also experiencing a very, very serious energy crisis as a result of this. And this is amidst China bragging they're sailing all of their oil tankers out of Iran. No problem. No, they're not. No, they're not. Radio crew are going to send you over to the commercial and dig into this a little bit more here on the live stream. It's the Tony Knitcast here on the Daily Signal. Like I said, we don't do the full commercial thing here on the live stream. So let's continue. According to Reuters, as well as. I want to make sure I get the other sources here. Yes, the British Broadcasting Corporation also confirming this. Amid the US Israeli war on Iran and the disruption of Gulf oil routes, China has called for an immediate ceasefire and has pledged to work with Southeast Asia to address energy shortages. However, Beijing has ordered a halt on all exports of diesel, gasoline and jet fuel, as well as curbs on fertilizer exports, they say to safeguard domestic markets. But sources inside of the communist country are suggesting that unless you have a certain level of state access, Chinese civilians can't even get their hands on fuel. In fact, there are two shipping companies who are suggesting that China is refusing to expedite fuel for shipping containers out of the country, all because China gets a bulk of their oil from Iran. What President Trump has done in the last year has effectively boxed China out of almost every single market on the face of this earth. Additional intelligence reports that are probably going to hit more of the mainstream media later this week, week or weekend, I should say, indicate that China at this moment may not have enough fuel to sustain a military campaign against Taiwan. Now, in the United States, we constantly talk about the revolving door of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. President Trump talked a lot with the Japanese officials today about their Strategic Petroleum Reserve. China does not have a super big cistern full of crude or processed oil. Nope. That's why they have to import sedang dong dang. Much of it. I know. Big shocker. A Maoist country not being able to manage its resources. Who would have thought the country that builds concrete without rebar wouldn't know how to keep fuel contained either? Now getting back to the Iranian situation again. Telling you the Balkanization is coming. Now. Members of the Pakistan are making announcements that it is time to arm themselves and rise up. That is a beautiful, beautiful M4 that she is holding. That's the kind of M4 that comes from the place my Toyota Hilux comes from. You hear me? You feel me? Again, to make this prediction on the line here, I would be wildly surprised if we do not see Iran split into at least two countries, likely three. You're going to see Kurdistan, that's going to split off in the West. It will happen. Kurdistan, it's due. The Trump administration is going to end up rectifying a long screwing over of the Kurdish people by everyone, which will also end up being a nice firm middle finger to Turkey, but also the Persian people in the center of Iran becoming likely a secular republic. And then you might have a small breakaway faction, I should say small in, in terms of territory, maybe not small ethnically, the ethnic minorities over next to Pakistan and Afghanistan, but again, those two are currently busy at war. Now the prime minister of Lebanon has pleaded and I want to see if I can get this impression right. Please, oh please, Donald Trump, please intervene, intervene, says the Lebanese prime Minister. Salaam here was that today ceasefire immediately if you could yesterday, not tomor. If you could deliver a message to President Trump now directly for one thing for him to do today, what would it be to help put an end to the Lebanese conflict?
- [14:20]
B
And I would like to reaffirm to
- [14:22]
A
President Trump our readiness to enter into immediate negotiations. So Lebanon is having a really rough time because Hezbollah is out of money. They are throwing all of their weight into kind of a last ditch stand against Israel while Israel and the United States are busy dealing with Iran. And there are some who have been given kind of cushy positions in what should be, for example, in Lebanon's case, a Christian country that was taken over by radical Muslims that are getting a little bit nervous that if the radical Muslim factor no longer exists, then a lot of these pseudo moderate regimes are going to be under a lot more scrutiny and may not get everything handed to them on a silver platter. We're going to swing out to the radio, pick them up from commercial. Don't go anywhere. We got a lot more to cover. It's the Tony Kenned cast here on the Daily Signal. It's the Tony Kenneth cast on 93 WIPC. Welcome back to the Tony Kinit cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated, first on 93 WIBC. Glad to be with you. We've got far more to cover. So Iran is having a really rough time because all of those beautiful Toyota Hiluxes, that being the best pickup truck Toyota has ever made, that has unfortunately been sent around the world to a bunch of small militant groups that are not the United States of America or Tony Kennett's driveway and all of those beautiful, wonderfully crafted M4s that jam, if you get any sand in them at all, those are showing up in the Kurdish regions. And that means that it is very likely soon that we will see some type of nation declared and an international recognition for Kurdistan. Now, speaking of about international recognitions, we're going to get to Somali man, Somaliland and Ilhan Omar or Ilhan Ohno here in a couple of minutes. Before we do, Iran has decided it's time for action. So they've tried everything. They've tried launching missiles. That didn't work. They've tried getting pallets of cash from Obama. That didn't work. Okay. They've tried seducing the other Middle Eastern powers. Ooh, that didn't work. They've tried appointing a new gay supreme leader. Well, he's in a coma. That didn't work. They tried appointing a besieged commander. Then they tried appointing another besieged commander. That didn't work. Okay, so, so what are they going to do? What are they going to do? What's, what's going to happen? The best news that they've had is that there was speculation early today that maybe Iran might have barely clipped a US F35 which was was dropping altitude. Now, after making an emergency landing, it was decided that, yeah, Iran didn't score the hit that maybe they thought they had. And then they released Footage that was AI generated. So the AI campaign's not working after all. In the United States, polling data consistently shows that all but 6% of the country is either aligned or leaning towards President Trump's foreign policy administration on the Republican side of the aisle. Those who elected him, only 6% in the negative. So the. The AI and the social media campaigns don't work. So what do you do now? Well, you announce that. And this would be an Iranian source here. The Lajani attended the mass rally and made statements as Lajani was the. The likely actual head of Iran that attended a big public rally, and then the United States and Israeli intelligence forces tracked him home after the rally and blew him up. So anyway, Larjani attended a mass rally and made statements openly embracing the possibility of martyrdom before his death. It underscores how consciously this logic is adopted by those who bear its consequences. A logic articulated most clearly by Khomeini himself, who declared that, quote, either we are martyred on this path whose honor is eternal, or. Or we achieve victory. But here's the best part. Both are victories for us. And now I would be remiss if I didn't comment on the obvious rip off of the Christian theology of for me to live is Christ, to die is gain. You know, I do appreciate the imitation being flattery here. The idea that Iran is telling the Israelis in the United States, the regime. All right, if you think you're going to capture us, fine. We'll all just kill ourselves. I don't think that that actually convinces what you think it convinces, Chief. So, strategic martyrdom. Okay, interesting. In the meantime, there's. There's kind of another strategy at play. Maybe we share the ocean. Maybe. Maybe we share the ocean. After all, straight of Hormuz. Kind of an important topic right now. Maybe we share. Here's the Secretary of War on these things. The last job anyone in the world wants right now, senior leader for the irgc. Or besiege. Temp jobs. All of them. That's true. We are kind of to the janitor in chief at this point. And to borrow a page from Admiral Ernest King In World War II, we've decided to share the ocean with Iran. We've given them the bottom half. We've damaged OR sunk over 120 of their Navy ships. By the way, this line upset a lot of people. A lot of really old stuffy brass who were only ever major generals of logistics, like the major general in charge of desk chairs out in Omaha, really, really upset about this. It's not very military esque. Well, first of all, the Secretary of War is supposed to be a civilian position. It's not supposed to just be a guy that we have a uniform on. That would be number one. Number two, and may I argue to be the most important here, you're allowed to make fun of the country that you're beating the living crap out of in war or the regime in this case, that you're beating the living crap out of in a military operation. I don't feel bad for that now. Neither should anyone else. That does bring us, however, to the President's comments, because it all comes down to Carg Island. So the President today entertained the Japanese Prime Minister and there were a lot of questions over whether or not President of the United States is going to take Carg island, whether or not the Japanese are going to pitch in and, you know, do something useful. Some good questions. So here what the President asked about Carg island, he starts saying things in a very Trump esque fashion.
- [20:42]
B
I should say we can take out the island anytime we want. I call it the little oil island that sits there so totally unprotected. We've taken out everything but the pipes. We left the pipes because to rebuild the pipes would take years for, you know, for them to do so.
- [21:02]
A
Do you hear what he's saying? You what he's saying? Breaking it down. Now, for those who have tuned into the show before, we've gone into quite a little bit of detail about Carg island and whether or not the United States is going to capture it. I think we are. We're going to get a Venezuela style situation or a Panama style situation or you know, how Trump has effectuated foreign policy this entire administration. But the President here is saying, could we take it? We could take it. It's a small island, you know, rather tiny, kind of like Adam shifts weird ears on his pencil neck. Very small island. And I could take it or we bomb it and then they have to rebuild it if the United States takes it. Kind of the alternative that he's pitching. No one has to rebuild it. And the United States likely ends up managing the oil out of Iran for a new regime. Again. The only thing that the Iranian leaders have left that hasn't been frozen by Scott Besant is essentially the oil they're able to get out to China, which has become a little dribble drop.
- [22:02]
B
But we are, I would say we are substantially ahead of schedule. And I had to do this. I had, I call it an excursion. I had to take this little excursion. And do something that no other president had the courage to do. And everybody wanted to do it, but they never had the courage to do. And I don't blame them. I'm not blaming them. It was left to me and we've done a great job. Our military is incredible. We have an incredible military.
- [22:29]
A
Again, all correct things. I know people don't like that. The president's called this like a little excursion. Again, what the United States is doing right now is for the amount of action that is being taken, one of the most efficient and one of the war, the war's military actions with the lowest numbers of casualties that we have ever seen. And it is a true testament to the United States military and the planning that went into this particular series of operations. Now, that said the president calling this a little excursion, I mean, John Hay called the Spanish American War a splendid little war. But that's praise for the United States. That's not necessarily an insult. This, this hasn't really helped the media. It hasn't. It hasn't helped them at all. Before we get to Jake Tapper flipping out, though, here's the president talking a little bit about this rumor that again, I keep, I'm told that we're going to stack up troops in Iraq and we're just going to put battalion after battalion after company after platoon and we're going to put them right there next to Mahabad and we're just going to storm in and invade and nation build and Nikki Haley is going to no, it's not going to happen. Here's the president making that case. You intend to lift sanctions on Iranian oil and do you intend to potentially put US Troops or more troops in the region?
- [23:39]
B
No, I'm not putting troops anywhere. If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you, but I'm not putting troops and we will do whatever is necessary to keep the price. I actually thought when I did this, look, the dow just hit 50,000 a couple of weeks ago. They said that couldn't happen for four years. It wouldn't happen in my term. It's such an outrageous thing because I said it would happen. I didn't know it was going to happen that fast, but just hit 50,000 and we did that in one year, not four. S&P had just hit 7,000. They said that was even more impossible than the Dow hitting 50. And we did that in one year. So it's all done. Everything was going great. The economy is great.
- [24:24]
A
What he is doing right now is summarizing the criticisms. This is how Trump operates. There are a lot of people right now who have suddenly pretended that they no longer understand how Trump talks. We're going to dive into this and a little more of the news on this, like Jake Tapper's meltdown over Pearl harbor over on the Livestream Radio Crew. We got to send you off to commercial. Try not to make any Pearl harbor based jokes while we're away. It's the Tony Kenned cast here on the Daily Signal. Now the President of the United States is summarizing. He is. He is putting together in one basket all of his criticisms. This is what the President does. This is what he has always done. The President always says what is directly on his mind. He will float an idea that he thinks is a really good idea better than anything ever. And then once he has floated the good idea, and he will then retweet, repost, republish, echo, talk about forever. Any reason that someone gives any reason. Republican, Democrat, independent, communist, Libertarian, anyone that comes out and says, oh, by the way, this is a really good thing and here's why. The President will go, I didn't even think of that. But I guess you're right. It helps the water buffalo outside of Cleveland. If Gretchen Whitmer were to release a tweet right now saying that the Iranian operation is really, really good for Michigan manufacturing, I would bet you, balls to bones, dollars to donuts, the President of the United States would be talking tomorrow about Gretchen Whitmer said they're pumping out a lot of cars because of this right now like you've never seen before. So that's the first thing. Trump always says something. And then no matter what he is told as a reason for why something is good, he'll be like, yeah, probably, I'm pretty great. So that's number one. Number two, whenever the President is criticized, he rolls all of the things that he's criticized for up into one comment. He's always done this. Always, forever. So what you see here are the criticisms on the operation Epic Fury. So one is the claim that we're going to put a bunch of troops on the ground. And the other is that he has tanked his economy in a midterm year. So he wraps it all together and he says, look, this has been on the top of my mind. I've literally been talking about it camera for 40 years. Again, Trump always says what's on his mind. We did the thing. I didn't have to do the thing, but we're doing the thing. I'm aware of the economy. Again, it is Obviously, because of this. He's not saying no. Actually, it's because of a bunch of other things. No, he's making it very clear. This is what's doing it. When it's over, it will be a lot better. Besant, again, saying the same thing. Rubio saying the same thing. Unilateral understanding there because it's a good line from the administration. And then he's also pointing out, no, I'm not going to Iraq and Afghanistan. A big massive troop deployment taking Carg island is not launching an invasion of Mahabad. Get out of here. But again, this is how Trump has always said these things. That's not saying he's genius. That's not saying he's evil, that's not saying he's stupid. That's not saying he's incredibly charismatic and handsome. No, it's just saying, hey, Trump literally is the exact same dude when it comes to communicating that he was 30 years ago, that he is now.
- [27:19]
B
Oil prices were very low. Gasoline was dropping to, I mean, we had $1.99, 85 cents. We had great.
- [27:30]
A
That clip, of course, over from John Solomon's crew at Just the News. Now this brings us over to what the media and the left have decided to care about. And the stuff that we've read, news wise so far, it's kind of important. It's impacting your wallet right here, right now. It's impacting the national security right here, right now. It's impacting those that we love, honor and pray for right here and right now. So what are the media focusing on? Well, the president talked about the importance of surprise in a military conflict. You know, duh. But he did so in classic Trump fashion with a bit of a joke with the Japanese prime minister. People lost their minds.
- [28:09]
B
Good friend. But one question. Why didn't you tell US allies in Europe and Asia, like Japan, about the
- [28:18]
A
war before attacking Iran? So we are very confused about with Japanese systems. Well, all right, now we're gonna have to bring the radio crew in from commercial in a second, but I'll play the rest of this video. The question he's asking is one that why isn't the United States telling everyone everything all the time? Why, why wasn't all 535 members of Congress, Senate in the House brought in together, sat down and told everything like Obama did and Biden did. They'd bring you in and say in 72 hours, here's exactly what we're gonna do. Well, because then the targets leave. Yeah, we're going to get into this don't go anywhere. Lots more news. Not to mention the national stuff. It's the Tony Knitt cast here on the Daily Signal. Don't go anywhere. This is the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WIBC. Welcome back to the Tony Kenneth cast. On to the national news side of things, a lot of stuff happening at home. The media is losing it because the President of the United States had the audacity to answer a question about why didn't the United States tell Congress and Japan and everybody extra super duper in advance about the Iran strike. The president's response, a lot of controversy, a lot of Pearl harbor problems. Here you go, good friend.
- [29:32]
B
But one question. Why didn't you tell US allies in Europe and Asia like Japan about the
- [29:41]
A
war before attacking Iran? So we are very confused about we Japanese citizens.
- [29:46]
B
Well, one thing you don't want to signal too much. You know, when we go in, we went in very hard and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?
- [30:03]
A
Okay, so we all heard that. Yes, we all heard that. So he said, you know, no one knows more about surprise than Japan. I mean, and then there's laughter and then Trump, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? So the media decided that this was Trump thinking like Trump was asking a real serious question. Trump was asking the reporter and maybe the Japanese prime minister about why she didn't tell him that Pearl harbor was coming. I'm not joking here on the live stream. Look, Jake Tapper, for What it's worth, six hours ago, Prime Minister Takashi was born 20 years after Pearl Harbor. Yes. Yeah, we know. That's some, that's some divine investigatory work there, Jake Tapper. Boy, no wonder CNN stands with such journalistic credibility right there. Yeah, you got him. Way to go. In fact, you know what? Good. Good for you. Here. There you go. Some children cheering because of your brilliant journalistic ability. Yeah, you're right. Okay. There are other things that are going on other than claiming the president made a joke about military surprise and thinking he was actually talking about the non. All right. Minnesota Democrats on the national news side of things have now blocked a bill that would make it a crime to intentionally enter places of worship to disrupt civil or, excuse me, religious services. And this particular measure by the Minnesota state legislature is not going to do anything whatsoever to keep the federal government by con from continuing to uphold the Civil Rights act and the additional acts that keep people from harassing Christians in church services here at home. Now, speaking of, Minnesota Governor Tim Walls is also having a really, really, really awful time. And I mean a full on meltdown kind of a time. So Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has announced in outrage and in anger that tech companies are causing problems to jobs in our economy and middle class families are bearing the consequences. To ensure they pay their fair share, I'm proposing attacks on social media companies that will support Minnesota workers impacted by artificial intelligence. So here we go. We're getting into the midterms. People want answers. People have issues. There are problems that people find maybe they don't have enough money for, for the rising energy bills. And people see all of these AI data centers that are being built in their local neighborhoods and things. Again, a lot of them due to grants that come from state governments like the Minnesota state government. So the Minnesota state government, in the midst of blocking laws that would keep people from being harassed at church, is throwing every grant they can to different corporate entities to come build large AI data centers in the state, therefore stretching the state's power grid and the state surrounding it. Because a lot of grid sharing goes on. There are three power grids in the country, the east, the west, and Texas. So Minnesota taxing out the grid. Tim Walls then steps forward and announces he, oh, I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna tax social media companies. Now. That's just absolutely stupid. That is, there's, there's no joke for it there. There's nothing else to say. The people that drive by his house and call him names are right on the money. This is not a unique thing, though, to Minnesota's Tim Walls again, who is currently facing more fraud investigations than any other state in the country combined. But coming up, in second place is California Governor Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom. As the days go by, more cases of fraud, not just from independent journalist Nick Shirley, but also from, for example, CBS and other corporate media entities are also being forced to pay attention that not only is California registering 500, 600, 1200 hospice companies within just three miles of each other, major fraud there, but also CBS has shown up to various California businesses that, I mean all the way from, from daycare centers to supposed hotel companies to healthcare organizations that aren't involved in hospice, various California businesses that have been recently approved, and that's the catch, recently approved by Newsom's administration are suspected of engaging in $500 million of fraud in just the last three months. Just the last three months, $500 million worth of fraud, which is Funny, because Gavin Newsom announced that he'd stopped every, like, fraudulent organization business in 2019. But he's not spending his time talking about this. He has sent, of course, his social media teams to run around calling Nick Shirley a pedophile, which is, I mean, boy, that's quite the move. But Gavin Newsom's team has, in the meantime, decided to throw all of their efforts in on begging people to come back to California. Because it's not California. And New York and Minnesota and Illinois, the blue states that have really high taxes. No, actually. Or actually, it's Cal. It's a Texas and Florida. Those are the real high tax places. This was not too long ago. We have the most progressive tax rates in America. Texas, the most regressive. Texas taxes poor folks more than we tax our riches. The question for you is, who's the higher tax state, California or Texas? Now, a lot of people are answering this question by getting the absolute bleep out of California. So the answer should be clear. But he's going to do the Joe Biden route, which I don't appreciate, which is that actually everything's fine and everyone who doesn't like it is stupid. Again. We just talk, Saul, with Trump. Trump did not try to say, I know during the Iran thing, people have concerns, but it's fine. There's no economic problems here. There's no price hike. He's not doing that. He's not. He's saying, yeah, it's a problem. Here's the plan to fix it. There you go. Gavin's not doing that here in the middle of allegations again. Yesterday, we covered the $144 million Bridge to Nowhere so that pumas and butterflies, which again have wings, can cross the interstate. In the construction of that failing, Gavin is telling everyone, well, actually, we're taxing people responsibly in California. It's actually super cheap here. Who are you for? Are you just for the 1% or are you for the 99? Now he's also trying to dunk on the states that are making fun of of his, again, Bridge to Nowhere project or his high speed Rail to Nowhere project. And his press office took a picture of a bridge in Florida that was abandoned and kind of sitting out in the middle of the water and said, see, Florida abandons projects, too. And I'm not joking. The bridge that he posted a photo of is a. And a very old Toll Bridge from 1937 that was abandoned decades ago because they built a better bridge. And yes, built it all the way, you know, not Just left it abandoned and told the pumas and the butterflies to go pound sand. I guess there's a functional bridge right out of shot of the photo. So this is the Gavin Newsom's approach. What about Kathy Hochul? Because Kathy Hochul said Zoran Mandani is the way to go. He's gonna do it. He's gonna. Oh, crap. He's actually laughing about rich people fleeing New York City and admitting he's going to raise taxes. So now Kathy Hochul is in danger mode because money is leaving New York, you know, alongside the voters and not just the business interests, but the people in the middle class as well. Fleeing New York. Kathy Hochul is also giving the impassioned on her knees plea, please don't leave New York. Come back, come back.

And being conscious of the fact that I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social program programs that we want to have in our state.
- [38:29]
A
Where are all the rich people? I said, we're gonna pay for all this stuff. We're gonna pay for the illegals to have free childcare. Mom. Donnie released a video with AOC where they said explicitly those services would be provided free of charge. Well, as Margaret Thatcher once said, the problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money. And gee, wouldn't you? All of the people with money left. Cause they're like, why would I pay for this? I don't wanna pay for this. You have congressmen telling Representative Brandon Gill on Capitol Hill that, yeah, people should be paying for Medicare and Medicaid and all these other services. Who cares? Screw. Screw anyone who makes over a certain amount of money. That means they're automatically evil. Now Kathy Hogle goes, oh, wait a minute. We have no money. It turns out hopes and dreams and lesbian pride parades don't pay the bills. Radio crew, we're gonna send you guys off to commercial and continue on the live stream. Don't buy any outrageous lesbian pride parades while we're gone. It's the Tony Kenned cast.
- [39:28]
C
Right now. There are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. Okay, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm beach and see who you can bring back home.
- [39:46]
A
So the actual original social media clip of this stopped at about 20 seconds in. I haven't seen the rest of. This is the Politico. This is the full clip. I didn't know. I didn't know she would. Oh, my gosh. So she has a few millionaires who have stayed who they're now calling patriotic because they're paying for everyone else's services. And she's saying that they're not giving enough. Give me more money. Money, me. And then she wants to send them down to Palm beach to convince the rich people. And by the way, reason she's pointing out Florida and Palm beach specifically, is that the. Whatever. Whatever his name is, the founder of Starbucks, has now abandoned Seattle and is encouraging a bunch of rich people to get the flying F out of all of these blue states and go to places where they don't scalp you. And so she's. She's losing her mind over that because she knows he's encouraging people from New York as well to, you know, abandoned ship and head down to Florida because
- [40:41]
C
our tax base has been eroded. So, no, I feel soft. We don't have a problem. It is like I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states.
- [40:50]
A
That's true.
- [40:51]
C
Who have less of a tax burden on.
- [40:55]
A
Why do they have less of a tax burden burden? Cathedral Hochul. Why.
- [40:59]
C
Why Corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything.
- [41:05]
A
Oh, that's. It's the remote work. This is like the old again. We have, we have a very large baby boomer audience. It. And this isn't, this isn't pointed at you when I say the boomer corporate culture where they, they tell people, hey, you know, we're going to, you know, people need to come back to the office because not buying big, huge corporate buildings and renting out massive corporate buildings, that's killing us. It's like, no, the practices that are not useful to the average American of every age. Millennial boomer, Gen Z, Gen X. That's what's killing the business. Kathy Hochul doesn't understand this. And she's not a boomer. She's Gen X.
- [41:40]
C
There are people who could only work in an office in Manhattan and work in New York state.
- [41:44]
A
And what are you talking about?
- [41:46]
C
They were captives to our state. They were going to stay. We saw that that's not the case. I mean, you know, Wall street businesses looking at Texas.
- [41:55]
A
Yes, yes, absolutely. As producer Daniel and producer Lou have reminded me consistently and repeatedly, the stock market in Dallas is becoming a bigger and a bigger and a bigger threat. Wall street will soon become y' all street. New York can't cope with this.
- [42:13]
C
They're not going there because they have a nicer governor. I know that for sure.
- [42:17]
A
Yeah, they are. They are going there because the governors of New York, the governor of New York is saying, give me money. The governor of Texas and the governor of Florida is saying, bring your business here and follow our laws. We're not going to force you to pay for illegal immigrant health care, child care, and then release criminals back out onto the streets to destroy your businesses and blame you for everything.
- [42:36]
C
But they're going there because of the tax rate. We have to be smart about this. But we can fund what we want to fund. Oh, yeah, with what? We already are taking it.
- [42:46]
A
Okay. Okay. Yeah, sure. Survey says. Ah, man. Real, real, real shucky shame there. We got more news to cover. Gonna bring the radio crew back in from commercial. Don't go anywhere. It's the Tony Kennett cast here on the Daily Signal.
- [43:05]
C
Taste the biscuit. Taste the goodness of the biscuit.
- [43:09]
A
You're listening to the Tony Kennett cast on 93 WIPcast. Ah, the old Taste the Biscuit bumper. It's another story for another time. Welcome back to the Tony Kennett cast. I don't, I, I don't know if I can explain that one to you, but welcome. We've got a lot to cover. I neglected to mention one thing about Tim Walls and his angry rant about AI data centers. This should be really good news for a lot of you who are really concerned. According to Bloomberg, data center construction across the entire United States is slowing down. And it's slowing down for two reasons. Number one, because essentially the energy grid right now, the power grids east, west and Texas are pretty much overburdened, overtaxed. They're at their limit, which means we need more power. Now, there are not enough, remotely enough in the capacity for windmill and turbine and solar panel construction to fill that particular need. Now, what will fill those needs and then some to spare, is nuclear power plant construction. And by the way, Scott Zeldin over at the EPA is trying to pave the way along with Energy Secretary Chris Wright to allow more states in the country to build extremely safe, wildly efficient, producing literally a handful of nuclear waste a year that can be repurposed like it's not even, it's not a green barrel of goo from the Simpsons. Those two secretaries are trying to make it so that states can more easily build nuclear power plants. Now, CNN is trying to cover this as how did they put it today? I want, I have the post right here. Trump wants the EPA to stop regulating climate pollution. Blue states have launched a high stakes legal case against him. Okay, that's real special. So that's good news, though, either way. Right now it seems that the data center Construction is slowing down also because there's really not a lot of need for it at the moment. We've reached the point where they don't need to just build more buildings now. They need to start refining the tech that they do have. So all I'm saying is here, in a couple years, I'm going to save up and buy one of these abandoned data centers and turn it into a laser tag place. I don't know. Sounds fun. That said, I do want to dive into a little bit of the Senate fist fight Congressional news, because while all of you are being normal Americans with normal things to do, normal ways to spend your time, the representatives and senators in our beautiful Congress have decided to act like they usually do. Screaming, crying children. Representative Summer Lee, who is a squad member, who's a slightly different Jasmine Crockett. She's very mad because, see, she stormed out of a House Committee hearing yesterday and no one cared. So I just walked out of a fake deposition, fake hearing with Pam Bondi
- [46:07]
C
where Chairman Comer called me a. So here's what.
- [46:11]
A
Actually, sorry about that, Allison. I. I didn't realize that she hadn't censored this one. So happened we had already subpoenaed her because she has not been in compliance with our subpoena and the Epstein Transparency
- [46:23]
C
act to release the full, complete, unredacted Epstein files.
- [46:28]
A
Here we go. We're doing the same thing again. Jasmine Crockett did the exact same thing. Now. Now, to be fair. To be fair. And, you know, other than the temper tantrum that was essentially a huge cry of. Well, in the meantime, you actually had Jasmine Crockett in the turtleneck and blazer doing the Night at the Roxbury, which, darn is the bumper music that I had lined up to go next. Jasmine Crockett instead was quoting Tupac. Just. Just incredible. Here you go, Jack. Jasmine Crockett. Tupac famously said, for those of you that didn't necessarily listen to rap, that we've got money for war, but we can't feed the poor. I love that. I do. And she's like, you know, Tupac once said, and maybe you didn't know, like, she's about to drop some. You know, William Emmanuel Kant once said, Thomas Aquinas once, pontificating among the. You know, that particular line of logic here. I do really, really, really appreciate Jasmine Crockett quoting Tupac whining about the Gulf War, which the United States kicked tail in. Great. And the need to explain. Oh, well, you know, those of you might, you know, you're not listening to the industrious, hip hoppetry like some skilled individuals. I am going to miss having her in Congress, I must admit. On the Save America act side of things, they're doing the same old stuff. You've got John Hickenlooper, who's really upset that no one knows who he is, and so he's also out there yelling about the Save America act, that the reasons keep changing, but they don't stop stranging. It requires every voter to dig through their basement, go up into their attic,
- [48:16]
B
and try to find their birth certificate.
- [48:19]
A
No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. That's not a thing. That's not a thing in the Save America Act. I know that everyone likes to pretend that Americans are so stupid that they could never acquire a birth certificate from their health department, which, by the way, I've had to do multiple times for multiple reasons. But besides that, that's not even what the Save America act requires. You're gonna get out here the argument that now everyone has to be Indiana Jones hunting down the temple of the lost birth certificate. Dude, nobody believes you, right? Find their passport just so they can
- [48:53]
B
register to vote, something most of them
- [48:55]
A
have been doing year after year for decades now. That's also not true, because one of the things the Save America act makes very clear is that you can't just be glued onto the voter rolls forever. You do need to register to vote each time you go vote. This idea that you probably want to vote anyway. Yeah, how about no? How about no? Because then you don't have ballots showing up to people's homes that they're not expecting and then get taken out of the mailbox, which, again, documented. Or in Minnesota, where one person can show up with an ID and then can vouch for seven other individuals. Gee, again, I am consistently amazed that this is what we're going with. But the best of all, the best of all is Bernie Sanders. You see, Bernie Sanders, he's out here fighting for the people. He knows that while people are fleeing Vermont and the other blue states of the country for the crappy taxes, Bernie Sanders, he knows. He knows the secret to American success. So here's Bernie Sanders, people living paycheck to paycheck. Tupac is out singing about war and money. Jasmine Crockett is in the turtleneck AOC. I don't even know where she is. Bernie Sanders, 60% of our people living paycheck to paycheck. And one guy, Elon Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 53%. Elon Musk, he sold a bunch of cars. I can't drive it. I don't understand. I can't plug it into my wall. I keep trying, but my charger for my phone is in the way. And they owned a lot of money. People are living paycheck to paycheck. I wrote this speech in my vacation home that I definitely worked for. Very important of American households. Think maybe that might be an issue that we should be talking about. So this is, again, the issue with the democrats growing into 2026. Americans are going, hey, we got problems. And you have some Republicans, like Scott Bessant, for example, or Chris Wright or Sean Duffy who say, hey, here are some solutions to these problems. Here you go. We're going to deregulate the crap out of things. That'll make things a little bit better. Trump said, hello. Car island's got a lot of oil on it. Certainly would be nice to have crude about half its current price. I mean, you know, those are some things cool. But Democrats go, you know, the Elon Musk, he's got the money. I saw it. He also has a girlfriend with the big boobs. I don't like that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't like it. We're going to redistribute. Everyone gets a little bit of money and a little bit of boob. Americans don't think that's gonna solve anything. That's not really selling the bakery there, chief. I don't know what it is you think you're doing. Radio crew, we're gonna catch you later. We got more to talk about on the live stream. It's the Tony Kid cast here on the Daily Signal. Take care. All right, now that the FCC regulation time is over, I can accidentally play as many swear words as I want, like heckin and dang and Somaliland. Oh, that's right. Somaliland. Meanwhile, in. In Democrat territory land, the government of Somaliland, again, Somalia is in a huge civil war. You have the people who do a lot of piracy versus the country that doesn't. So in the middle of their big civil war, the Republic of Somaliland, again, I'm not joking. Has pointed out that Ilhan Omar's original last name was Elmi before it was changed. They say, quote, the evidence was available that she changed her name and may have committed severe immigration fraud. But the Obama Justice Department refused to investigate. Her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, and their father, Nur Said Elmi, also known as Nur Omar, used multiple names across different countries. Part of the family fled to The United Kingdom, you know, you have to flee from countries that are great and you're still pledging your service to. Yeah, me too. While Ilhan Omar and others entered the United States under their father's assumed name, Omar, these name changes and split identities were used to conceal the father's true war crimes. Oh, you know, Ilhan Omar's father a lot of war crimes. That's why she doesn't like you. You know, disparaging the whole Islamic terror thing. Kind of a hallmark. Those would be the family values of the whole Islamic thing I was talking about earlier. And identity. The marriage certificate that they have presented. Groom Ahmed Nur Seyd Elmi. Bride Ilhan Abdullahi Omar. Oh, no. Oh, there's a big surprise. That's an incredible. I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from that surprise. Now, I really do appreciate this. I really do. The reason that Ilhan Omar despises Somaliland as much as she does is because they happen to have the receipts that show she committed severe immigration fraud and she should be given the swiftest, thickest boot to the behind out of the country. Absolutely. Um, now I, I, I really don't just want her deported for committing immigration crime like that. I think there should be, you know, reparations or arrests, that kind of a thing. But I, you know, hey, I, I'm, I'm just going to level with you. Play stupid games, committing the kinds of frauds that they keep paper records of, and you are going to win those very same stupid prizes. Now on the Save America act stuff, because that is again what a lot of Americans want Congress to get through again. They also want Americans to reopen or Congress to reopen the Department of Homeland Security. Again, Democrats are still not allowing that to happen as it tanks their numbers. Mike Lee, in response to Hickenlooper from Utah, Just think this is a pretty good clip. In general, brings up this rather accurate observation on the Save America act of having free and fair elections and it makes them impossible. So look, I think that there's only one legitimate reason to oppose this. I have yet to hear a legitimate argument against the bill which begs the question, do they really just want to make it easy to vote so badly that they're willing or even enthusiastic to just make it easier to cheat. So far, the Congressional Democrats have by and large focused on arguments that are a combination of being ill founded, relying on blatant mischaracterizations of the statutory text itself, including and especially the text beginning on page 12, line 22, and following on to the following page now what he's describing. And by the way, the real secret here, the real secret to this is that he has to change. Or the Democrats, I should say when complaining about this bill, they have to change their answer every time. Now if they would have come out and said the exact same thing that they had from the beginning to the end, then maybe that would've worked. But remember what they said at first. Oh, black people are too stupid and poor to go get. Okay, that didn't work. And also really incredibly racist. Okay, Women are too dumb to, you know, know that you have to change your ID after you get married to update your name. You're too stupid to do that. Okay, that didn't work. Okay, they're going to purge the voter rolls. And everyone was like, yeah, wait, we're not, we're, we're not purging the voter rolls. And again, don't take my word for it. Even Democrats like Stephen A. Smith are stunned when they hear for, from example California Independent Party State Representative Kevin Kiley that, yeah, Stephen, it just so happens California banned voter ID and stripping the voter rolls ever. I think the fact that we don't have voter ID in places like California is extremely unusual. In democracies across the globe, there's maybe like two or three democracies in the world that don't have it. This is just kind of like a standard administrative requirement in a well functioning democracy. So I think we should just have it, we should get this. So here you go, here's, here's, you got the hand, you got the. Ooh, Stephen Smith, you don't like it, you're not a fan, should move on with our lives. You know, it should be a big controversial issue. Excuse me for being so ignorant, asking last question. This is definitely my last question. What do you mean you don't have voter ID in California? Could you please elaborate specifically on that for my audience that may not know? Yeah, California does not have voter id. You don't need to present it to register. You don't need to present it to vote. As a matter of fact, the past, the state passed a law forbidding voter id. So, so cities, counties, if they, they're not allowed to under state law. What, when did that happen? A couple of years ago, because I think it was Orange county, they wanted to have their own requirements. So the state passed a law saying, no, you're not allowed to. You. Voter ID is not only not required, it is actively forbidden. That's right. It is it right there. That, that, that's why the same act that proposed right there, the state of California. That's what the Republicans going to lean on as an excuse.
- [57:37]
B
The.
- [57:37]
A
A lean on is an excuse. There you go. So when the Democrats were like, why are we doing this to ourselves? They had some political capital at the beginning of the year. They said, hey, what they should have done. Again, I'm going to make this case I made yesterday. Democrats had an opportunity and what they could have said is Trump made all these promises, but he didn't deliver on them as fast as he said. And that's because he doesn't know what he's doing. He's just throwing anything at the wall and seeing what sticks. Now, the problem with that is that then you're supposed to say, okay, well, what do you think should stick? What should he be doing? Democrats, as you just heard earlier, Bernie's like the Elon Musk. And then you have Summer Lee whining about being called mean names and so is Rand Paul because, you know, they're both little girls. Um, but this is kind of the Democrat lines just whining and complaining and, and that kind. We want to refund USAID for the transgender comics to Columbia, that kind of crap. So if they're not even doing what could theoretically work, instead they have wasted all of the political capital they have again, in the middle of this Iran war, the generic congressional ballot. Democrats are losing their lead. Republicans are gaining their lead. Now, by the way, for those who subscribe to the poly market or the Kalshi or like the betting markets, this is a really fun way to point out that the betting markets lag behind some aspects of public opinion as the ballot, the congressional ballot distance continues to narrow. And if again, we see things go the way they are, especially when Trump ends the Iranian operation, and that is done in the manner. Again, I do have some breaking news for that actually for you regarding the Boxer Amphibious Ready group and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. The polls start to shift. You'll see those betting market stuff flip real quick just so that we're all aware, at least the Senate for sure. So there you go. That's. That's not insider trading. That's just another one of my predictions that we'll be scoreboarding here in a couple of weeks. That said, new information. So according to Newsmax is suggesting four officials have relayed that the Boxer Amphibious Ready group in the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit are leaving the west coast earlier than planned and their deployment will take them across the Indo Pacific to the Middle east. Following Pentagon orders from The US Navy to increase military presence at large in centcom's Iranian region of Overwatch and Operation Folks, Carg island will be grabbed here pretty soon. Administration's tired of playing around. We're starting to see some defections. When Trump is admitting why things are low, it doesn't mean that he likes it. Other administration officials have said a lot of that similar stuff. So, you know, I. I mean, I'm. I'm gonna level with you. I'm. I'm just not in a. A spot right here and right now where I believe that Trump is racking up the. Ls that. That some of the, you know, aptly named grievance party, the folks who are bringing on leakers who have been investigated by the FBI for over a month, who has now suggested that Charlie's last words to him were keep us out of war in Iran. Which, by the way, to keep make this clear with y', all, Charlie Kirk's last words to me through text were that eating at Arby's is always more disappointing because you're always looking forward to it. Looking forward to the mozzarella sticks and the curly fries, and then you finish and you're like, ah, that wasn't as good as I thought it was. That's what Charlie's like. Actual last words to a lot of people were just normal stuff. But anyway, while the. Why. Why some crew. While some crews are doing their, like, imaginary. Oh, Charlie told me in a dream that Egypt did acrobatics to stupid stuff. The President of the United States, you were told, I was told, was getting the middle finger from all of our allies everywhere, all the way over. And, oh, this is such a blunder. He didn't have a plan. Well, gee whiz. According to a. Excuse me. A joint statement from European nations from Japan regarding the Iranian attacks on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf have now stated, quote, they are ready to join appropriate efforts to ensure safe passes. Excuse me. Straight, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and will take steps to stabilize energy markets that might even include the Japanese opening their strategic Petroleum reserves. No way. Again. How many times do we have to play this game where we say, guys, look, it's the scoreboard. Let the man cook. Clearly, this was planned in advance. It turns out the account who has to bot. Her viewers because after not being able to pronounce a word two syllables or greater, and then again claiming that Charlie spoke to her in a dream that Egyptian fighter pilots were dating Erica. Nonsense. Crap. It turns out that in real life, people Understand that. Yeah, there are adults that are running the country. No, Israel's not epsteining things for Iran. Stop. Don't be retarded. Go touch grass now. Even Canada. Even. Yes, even Canada is now agreeing that by Prime Minister Mark Carney willingness to support all international efforts, including putting military shipping protection on the table to protect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. These include the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Japan. And by the way, after France said, no, I'm not actually doing anything in the Middle East. I am not doing any of that. The Charles de Gaulle. Its location was leaked. Guess where it's heading? Eastward through the Mediterranean towards the Middle East. Oh, man, I was told that we were cooked and it was all over and oh, no, it's gonna be terrible. Oh, shucks, I'm. No way. You mean if you wait a little minute and. And you don't freak out and. And. And listen to the guy who cacklingly told you that Mossad was blowing up Qatar? No. Are you telling me that Tucker was full of crap the entire time? No way. Even Megyn Kelly now has it so bad that she's decided. Anyone who criticizes her, she's just going to do the liberal woman thing of going, well, he has. Probably has a small penis. That's why. That's why he's wrong. I'm so mad. Okay, good for you, sweetie. Yet again, as a Midwesterner, boy, do I sure enjoy saying scoreboard. Now, that said, I do want to point out I mentioned Qatar. Iran has tried to claim that it is absolutely not, under any circumstances, trying to target the Iranian and Saudi Arabian oil assets. And Qatar has essentially responded, no, you're really bad liars. You're really dumb. You are clearly trying to strike our oil and our gas reserves. There are unfortunately continuous Iranian claims that the attacks are attacks on US Assets or on US Bases in Qatar and the region. We reject this claim, which cannot be accepted under any circumstance. The biggest proof of this is that the attack which happened yesterday was an attack on a Qatari natural gas facility, which is a source of income for the Qatari people, but not just for the Qatari people. What they did yesterday also impacted the millions of people which Qatar is helping. How down bad you have to be to lose Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Lebanon, and essentially everyone except for Turkey, whose dictator has no cojones. You know, I'm starting to figure out that Iran may have goofed extra big time. Now, again, we would reach out to the besieged commander the head of the IRGC for comment, but a bunch of his officers are currently defecting. He's dead and the guy they replaced him with is dead. So it's harder to staff than an MLM marketing scheme in the Midwest. Really, really difficult and a just a big womp womp. Now, before we head out for the evening, I do want to answer a couple of fun, neato exciting questions. By the way, I'm sorry, I do want to say one other thing that I haven't had a chance to mention. We try to praise law enforcement who stop tragedies before they begin. You would have heard about this if the man was able to succeed. But local authorities and then later on we found out through the Federal Bureau of Investigation were able to pin this down on March 17, that being two days ago. On Tuesday in Michigan City, Indiana, police arrested a man who showed up at a church with multiple explosive devices and a firearm. And essentially he's now facing charges of attempted murder and possession of explosives for terrorism. Officials said that, quote, a bad disaster had been prevented. Yeah, no kidding. But huge props to law enforcement. That's excellent. Unfortunately, the heroes who were able to stop this terrorist attack before it happened will never be known. We are going to find the names of the officers who made that arrest and share them on the show. So a huge, huge, huge praise to the law enforcement officers who continually stop the terror attacks that are, again, these threats are ongoing. Props to Cash Patel as well, who has also stepped it up to arrest more of these attempted terror attacks before they begin than the Joe Biden administration did for sure. So huge praise. Which reminds me, speaking of FBI, James Comer is also being subpoenaed for his role in intelligence fraud in the Obama and the first Trump administration. So fun stuff. I did tell all of y'. All again, scoreboard, he's not out of the woods yet. So more to come on those particular matters as we get to them. I do want to get to a couple. I know there were some super chats that we had. Again, you guys do not have to do super chats. You don't have to give money to the show, anything like that. But we'll very quickly here address a few. The Simple Life for me gave a four a $5 super chat and said, hey Tony, are you going to get the Final Four in Indianapolis? How long of a drive is that? So some of you may not know that I am a huge college football and basketball fan. I am. I cackled ruthlessly when High Point spanked Wisconsin today because I had a lot of roommates and college people that I, you know, went to college with that were huge Wisconsin fans being that I went to college in Wisconsin. So I enjoyed seeing that. And also I like seeing Duke lose as well. So congrats to the Tar Heels. I'm a very big college basketball fan. I am not probably going to get tickets to the Final Four. I'm not much of a, you know, go to the big final events kind of a dude. Those will get really expensive. It is a very short drive for me. Indianapolis is just down the road now. I really like not being shot or smelling urine, so I usually stay out of downtown now that especially whenever I drop by some associative businesses and groups that I work for or work with. I should say, I don't, I don't, I don't usually stop in there anymore, but it's about 45, 40 minutes ish, depending on how awful the interstates are. Which, you know, that aside, I will only take one of the mail time questions this evening because we're going to wrap things up before I give you all of the great stuff that's actually coming for tomorrow's show. One question I do enjoy is from Woodrow, who says, P.S. my wife said the color of your shirt yesterday was shrimp. Thank you. Anyway, Woodrow asks Tony, have you heard anything about how Iran's enriched uranium is going to be secured? Yes, it is going to be secured. I cannot share in good conscience and good faith whether or not the United States has actively deployed an operations team, which would be unconfirmed. I don't have like access to US deploying special operators. I hear things through PCM groups and things or PMC groups. I should say there are a couple of options that are on the table. I will say this. Steps have been taken to ensure that Russia, nor China, nor Turkey, nor a group out of Afghanistan that had expressed, you know, kind of a ride or die drive out there and see what you can get. That area is, is being loitered over. There are a lot of things that are currently circling like buzzards over that area. So when the United States wants to go and pick up the uranium, there will be quite a bit of Overwatch, essentially. Imagine a Disney cartoon from the 90s when someone's in the desert, like, you know, Simba after his dad dies, there's like all the buzzards like flying around him in circles. That's essentially what's currently being loitered over those particular areas. So ain't nothing touching that, as Trump called it. Dust. I Call it the dust, because after we bombed Fordeau, a lot of that stuff is again rubble underneath the earth. It's still there. It's still enriched. The Iranians have tried to get it, which, again, that's why it still matters. They're still trying to get access to this uranium to continue enriching it and at least create some kind of a dirty bomb, which is what we had likely stopped them in the middle of doing. But the United States will likely probably come and pick it up at some point. You're not going to have to wait on the brilliant iaea, who's about as useful as the UN in Kosovo. You're not going to have to wait for that. So those things said, we're going to throttle things out for this evening. You guys take care. Have a wonderful evening. We'll be back tomorrow with, let's say, a pretty slam dunk finish for the week. It's the Tony Kinit cast here on the Daily Signal, nationally syndicated and first on 93 WYBC. Y' all take care. One little final piece I should mention, and I. Excuse me. On, on, on Duke today. Sorry. The reason that I was laughing at Duke is, is not because they lost. They did win today. Sorry, excuse me, but they were way too close to siena. You're one seed going into this and you pull 71 to like, like 64, 65. As a bad performance. As a bad performance. I don't, I don't, I don't envy Duke later on. So sorry. I want to clear that up there just in case anybody got snooty and snotty while I was watching those in the background today. All right, that's it. That's enough show. Take care. Have a great evening. ACC is a national grassroots advocacy organization dedicated to mobilizing young people in favor of pro market, pro innovation and into ideas. So we are in hundreds of communities across the country with tens of thousands of young conservative members. I'm here because I am a conservative environmentalist. I think for a long time, conservatives have not come to the table. But what truly unites all of these young people people is a shared belief that the ideas of freedom and free enterprise are the single best way to solve our environmental problems. While there's still work to be done, There are Republicans who want to come to the table and engage on climate in good faith. We are building the conservative environment movement, but we're doing it by involving everybody.
