Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
Iran's economy is in freefall as the U.S. naval blockade chokes off fuel imports, and cracks are showing at the top — Mayors and foreign ministers are fist-fighting as riots continue in more cities by the day. Meanwhile in Minnesota, state officials are literally suing two rival Somali gangs just to keep them away from the State Fair after they promoted a violent showdown on social media. The Trump administration is preparing the single largest mass visa revocation in U.S. history.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- Iran's leadership fractures publicly as fuel shortages and Treasury Secretary Bessent's promised "economic D-Day" sanctions squeeze the regime — President Pezeshkian, security chief Mohsen Rezaei, and a gang of various officials are fighting each other in the open over their preferred method of collapse
- Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Ramsey County secure court injunctions against two rival Somali gangs, "Muddy" and "The Ville," after they were caught promoting a violent showdown at this year's State Fair on social media — seven of ten named members have agreed to stay away
- Abdul El-Sayed compares transgender experimentation to circumcision on the air with Jesse Watters and the entire nation mocks him for it
- The Trump administration prepares to revoke up to 200,000 business and tourism visas from foreigners who claimed to be short-term visitors but then filed for asylum — the largest mass visa revocation in U.S. history, on top of 175,000 already revoked this term
- Alan Dershowitz joins us LIVE to discuss America's founding documents and why studying Western civilization still matters
- We remember country music legend Dolly Parton, who passed away today at 80

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
The Supreme Court just handed Trump a 6-3 win on his mail-ballot executive order, lifting the injunction that had blocked USPS from enforcing it — exactly the outcome we told you was coming. Meanwhile, Iran's economy is buckling under the U.S. naval blockade, with fuel shortages sparking lines at gas pumps and fresh protests as the regime's misery index spikes into triple digits in some provinces. And in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed's attempt to distance himself from Hasan Piker keeps failing to stick the landing.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- The Supreme Court rules 6-3 to lift the injunction blocking Trump's mail-ballot executive order, allowing USPS to move forward with new voter-eligibility rules just weeks before absentee voting begins for the midterms — the three liberal justices dissent, and legal experts say implementation still faces massive logistical hurdles
- Iran's economy buckles as the U.S. naval blockade cuts off fuel imports, sparking gas lines and protests across Tehran, Isfahan, and Ahvaz — the regime's own misery index has spiked above 115% in several provinces
- Abdul El-Sayed tries again to distance himself from streamer Hasan Piker after new comments targeting a Jewish Michigan state senator draw bipartisan condemnation — but Republican Mike Rogers and even fellow Democrats aren't letting him off the hook

| Ep. 627 - Supreme Court & White House Fights, Mass Beef Imports, and Lots of Online Yelling | 22 août 2026 | 01:22:13 | |

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
The Supreme Court just handed President Trump a win, temporarily allowing construction on his White House ballroom to continue despite two lower courts ruling it illegal without congressional approval. Meanwhile, Trump is opening the floodgates on beef imports to fight grocery prices — and some Republicans and ranchers aren't happy about it. Add in a wave of online fighting over data centers and postpartum mental health, plus brand new midterm polling, and it's a packed show tonight.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- Chief Justice John Roberts issues a temporary stay letting Trump's $300+ million White House ballroom construction continue, pausing lower court rulings that found the project illegal without Congress's approval — the case is 65% complete with crews working 20-hour days
- Trump announces a 90-day tariff waiver allowing up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef imports at 25% below market price to fight record grocery costs — ranchers and some Republicans immediately push back, warning it hurts domestic herds already at their lowest levels since the 1950s
- Online fights erupt over two very different topics: a bipartisan backlash against AI data centers driving up electricity bills nationwide, and a nasty conservative-on-conservative fight over comments dismissing postpartum psychosis amid the ongoing Lindsay Clancy murder trial
- Brand new midterm polling shows Democrats holding a real but narrowing generic ballot lead as the Iran war scrambles the usual political dynamics — we break down what the numbers actually mean heading into November

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
The FBI just announced it disrupted an ISIS-inspired plot to bomb the New York State Capitol while lawmakers were inside. Meanwhile, federal agents seized former Rep. Eric Swalwell's phone and laptop and raided his D.C. home as part of a sexual assault investigation — and he's not the only House Democrat facing fresh scrutiny tonight. And after months of investigators warning it was coming, an ActBlue co-founder finally pled the Fifth before Congress.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- The FBI announces it disrupted an ISIS-inspired plot to bomb the New York State Capitol in Albany while state senators were inside — a 35-year-old woman is in custody after allegedly pledging allegiance to ISIS and buying an explosive device from undercover agents
- Federal agents seize former Rep. Eric Swalwell's iPhone and MacBook at the San Francisco airport and raid his D.C. home as part of a sexual assault investigation, following allegations from multiple women including a former staffer
- Rep. Jimmy Gomez's House Ethics scandal escalates as his accuser's attorneys reject his "consensual" defense, alleging outright sexual assault rather than an affair
- ActBlue co-founder Matt DeBergalis pleads the Fifth Amendment in a closed-door deposition before three House committees — exactly what we told you was coming
- President Trump announces a new "Economic Warfare and Isolation" phase against Iran as the administration signals its next endgame in the ongoing war

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
LA Mayor Karen Bass is bragging that every $5 donated to her reelection campaign gets turned into $35 — courtesy of Los Angeles taxpayers, through a city program that matches donations 6-to-1... all through ActBlue. Meanwhile, the UK Home Office is handing migrants a literal instruction pamphlet explaining that child abuse and assault are illegal in Britain — yes, that's a real government document in 2026. And in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed is facing brutal new scrutiny after comparing himself to Jesus, just as new reporting reveals his mother worked for a U.S.-designated terror-financing organization.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- LA Mayor Karen Bass touts the city's 6-to-1 taxpayer-funded campaign donation match, turning a $5 gift into $35 in her own reelection war chest — legal under LA's ethics rules, but drawing outrage as the city struggles to fund basic services
- The UK Home Office distributes guidance to asylum seekers explicitly explaining that child abuse and sexual assault are against the law in Britain, "even if they look older" — a jaw-dropping admission of what officials feel they need to spell out
- Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed compares himself to a "radical" Jesus while facing fresh scrutiny after reports surfaced that his mother worked for years at a organization the U.S. Treasury designated as a global terror-financing group
- Newly nominated Democratic socialist Angie Nixon pulls off a stunning upset in Florida's Senate primary, becoming the first DSA member ever to win a statewide major-party nomination — we break down her most eyebrow-raising positions

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
Florida holds its primary today — governor, Senate, and House races all on the ballot in the last major primary batch before November. Meanwhile Chuck Schumer just quietly told the Washington Post Democrats can win the Senate even without Michigan, an extraordinary admission about Abdul El-Sayed's chances there. And Iran just fired two ballistic missiles at the UAE, prompting Abu Dhabi to cut off all trade and financial ties with Tehran on the same day Trump posted a graphic labeling the Strait of Hormuz "new U.S. territory."
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- Florida's primary is today — the last major primary of the cycle — with key governor, Senate, and House races we're tracking as results come in tonight
- Chuck Schumer tells the Washington Post Democrats can retake the Senate even if Abdul El-Sayed loses Michigan, a stunning hedge as the party quietly shifts hope toward Georgia and Sen. Jon Ossoff — who's facing fresh scrutiny of his own, including nearly $3,000 in campaign spending on a Hollywood makeup artist and a new "theater kid" nickname from the White House
- Iran fires two ballistic missiles at the UAE — the first attack on Emirati territory in months — prompting the UAE to cut off all trade and financial transactions with Tehran, as President Trump posts a graphic labeling the Strait of Hormuz "new U.S. territory"
- A federal appeals court rules against ICE's policy of making warrantless arrests at churches, temples, and mosques, the latest in a wave of court fights over immigration enforcement nationwide

| Ep. 623 - OOPS: Insiders Panic as Democrat Senate Candidates Call Black & Women Voters Stupid & Poor | 18 août 2026 | 01:11:03 | |
Subscribe to our new YouTube channel for special clips, behind-the-scenes content, and more from the show: @TonyKinnettCast
Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
Democrat Senate candidates keep making the same insulting argument against voter ID: that Black voters and women are too poor or too incompetent to get a REAL ID or birth certificate. It's condescending, it's not backed by the data, and Democrat insiders know it's a losing message heading into November. Meanwhile, Abdul El-Sayed's Islamist-funding problem in Michigan keeps getting worse, and the Iran ceasefire deadline just expired with President Trump telling Tehran to wave the white flag.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- Senate Democrats like Jon Ossoff and Sen. Tammy Duckworth keep insisting Black voters and married women can't realistically obtain a REAL ID or birth certificate — we've got the data showing that's simply false, and why party insiders are worried this message is backfiring
- Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate campaign faces mounting scrutiny after a Senate Judiciary hearing detailed his campaign's $115,000+ in donations from CAIR-linked donors, including his own father-in-law's ties to Muslim Brotherhood-connected groups
- The 60-day U.S.-Iran ceasefire deadline expires today with no deal in sight — Trump tells Iran to "put up the white flag of surrender" as Tehran shifts to what it's calling a "maximum deterrence" posture
- More as news breaks

| Ep. 622 - Somali Temporary Protected Status ENDED, Luigi Mangione Pleads Guilty, Sayed in Trouble | 15 août 2026 | 01:16:57 | |
Subscribe to our new YouTube channel for special clips, behind-the-scenes content, and more from the show: @TonyKinnettCast
Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
A federal judge's repeated stays blocking the end of Temporary Protected Status for Somalis finally ran out today, clearing the way for termination after months of what DHS called open defiance of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Luigi Mangione stood up in federal court and admitted it himself: "I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan, and he died" — a guilty plea that guts a year of online conspiracy theories and folk-hero mythmaking overnight. And Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is having the worst 48 hours of his campaign.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- Temporary Protected Status for Somalia officially expires today after Judge Allison Burroughs' latest stay lapsed, following a Supreme Court ruling that lower courts can't override DHS on TPS terminations
- Luigi Mangione pleads guilty in federal court to stalking charges tied to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, admitting "I shot Mr. Thompson" on the record — a plea that could still collide with his separate state murder trial next month
- Chaos at the Iowa State Fair as Democrats stumble through soapbox season, with agriculture secretary candidate Chris Jones facing brutal blowback over resurfaced comments calling farming "not that hard" and Iowa farmers "wealthy, older white guys"
- Abdul El-Sayed's campaign is reeling from two fresh scandals in 48 hours — records showing nearly 4,700 dogs and cats euthanized at Detroit Animal Control on his watch as health director, and his sister, a University of Chicago professor, resurfacing in old video celebrating October 7th
- Is the Strait of Hormuz about to become a U.S. territory? We tease what's coming next in the region

| Ep. 621 - Chinese Sniper Buys Building Overlooking White House, New Socialist Scandals Emerge | 14 août 2026 | 01:16:46 | |
Subscribe to our new YouTube channel for special clips, behind-the-scenes content, and more from the show: @TonyKinnettCast
Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
A Chinese intelligence official and trained sniper purchases a historic building overlooking the White House. Michigan's new Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is facing brutal online mockery after old reporting resurfaced showing Detroit's animal shelter had a 74% kill rate under his watch — while he campaigns today talking about his "beloved" dogs. Meanwhile, disgraced former Maine candidate Graham Platner is stepping back into public life for the first time since his campaign collapsed, and gun owners are celebrating after the DOJ quietly declined to appeal a landmark court ruling gutting nine decades of federal red tape on suppressors.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- A MASSIVE report from the Daily Caller News Foundation details a Chinese Communist Party intelligence official and trained sniper's purchase of a historic building just 600 feet from White House grounds in Washington DC. Read the report here: https://dailycaller.com/2026/08/13/exclusive-ccp-intel-official-building-purchase-steps-from-white-house/
- Abdul El-Sayed faces backlash as resurfaced reporting shows Detroit's animal control had a 74% euthanasia rate under his leadership as health director, with a whistleblower lawsuit describing the shelter as a "slaughterhouse" — an awkward look for a candidate who campaigns on loving pets
- Graham Platner makes his first major public appearance since ending his scandal-plagued Senate campaign, headlining a Labor Day rally near his hometown
- The DOJ declines to appeal a landmark federal court ruling striking down NFA registration requirements for suppressors and short-barreled rifles as unconstitutional — the biggest Second Amendment win in over 90 years
- The latest on the Strait of Hormuz as Iran's 60-day ceasefire deadline approaches this weekend with no extension in sight
- CNN draws fire for framing a Mississippi woman's death with loaded imagery about the South's history — while quietly leaving out that the person arrested in connection with the case is her boyfriend, not a stranger
