   Ep. 647 - Trump Gives Iran "Obliteration or Greatness" Ultimatum at UN, Cuba Delegates Storm Out

   Subscribe to our new YouTube channel for special clips, behind-the-scenes content, and more from the show: @TonyKinnettCastTonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.President Trump laid out a stark choice for Iran at the UN today — "potential greatness" through a deal, or "obliteration" — confirming his envoys just spent three hours with the Iranian delegation and calling it "very good." Minutes later, the Cuban delegation stormed out of the same chamber after Trump called their regime an "absolutely failed state" that "will fall." Back home, brand new polling shows both parties bleeding support heading into the midterms, and a ProPublica hit piece on Susan Collins landed with such a thud that even Biden's own DOJ passed on it years ago.TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:- President Trump tells the UN General Assembly Iran faces a binary choice — "obliteration" or "potential greatness" — confirming envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met the Iranian delegation for three hours today, with another meeting set for the "very near future" and a deal possibly landing right after the midterms- The Cuban delegation walks out of the UN chamber after Trump calls their regime an "absolutely failed state" that "will fall," vowing "freedom will be coming to Cuba"- New polling shows real danger signs for both parties heading into November — Democrats' own numbers are historically bad even as they lead the generic ballot, and Republicans aren't polling much better- A ProPublica investigation targeting Sen. Susan Collins turns out to be recycled material the Biden DOJ itself declined to pursue years ago — we break down why it's landing as a nothingburger- PragerU's Jill Simonian joins us LIVE to talk parental burnout over kids' school device use- A former Utah mail carrier is indicted for discarding roughly 300 ballots ahead of the state's primary- The Supreme Court appears likely to weigh in after the 8th Circuit's flip-flop in the Missouri congressional mapsGo to https://JoinADF.com/TONY to help stand for freedom and fight back against the rise of Marxism in our country.The Tony Kinnett Cast is The Daily Signal's nightly flagship show, hosted by national correspondent Tony Kinnett — covering the day's biggest stories with analysis, commentary, and guests from across the political and media landscape.🎙 Apple Podcasts🎙 Spotify💬 Discord📩 Contact Tony🌐 The Daily SignalProduced by Daniel Elmore, Allison Lemons, Josiah Lott, Lou Scataglia, and Jennifer Schmidt.

   Ep. 646 - Sanctuary Cities/Counties Released Over 41,000 Criminal Illegal Aliens, WH Press Revolt

   Subscribe to our new YouTube channel for special clips, behind-the-scenes content, and more from the show: @TonyKinnettCastTonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.A House Judiciary Committee report reveals sanctuary jurisdictions have declined more than 41,000 ICE detainers since October 2022, releasing criminal aliens back onto American streets. Meanwhile, Trump's media ban just backfired spectacularly — CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are suing, the entire TV press pool suspended coverage in solidarity, and the president's own helipad speech today went out completely inaudible because no press pool was there to mic him up. Trump held off on striking the Houthis this weekend, and pollsters themselves admit the same raw midterm data can be spun anywhere from D+7 to D+9 depending on how you weight it.TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:- A House Judiciary Committee report finds sanctuary jurisdictions have declined at least 41,085 ICE detainers since October 2022 — New York alone released nearly 7,000 criminal aliens in just ten months, and a fresh report out today slams Arlington, Virginia specifically for honoring only 2 of 310 detainers- Trump's ban of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico backfires immediately: all three outlets file a First Amendment lawsuit, the entire TV press pool consortium suspends coverage of the president in protest, and Trump's own helipad ribbon-cutting today aired with garbled, unusable audio because there was no press pool present to mic him up- Trump considered striking the Houthis in Yemen this weekend at Saudi Crown Prince MBS's urging, then held off — the Houthis have since pledged not to target U.S. ships, but the underlying Red Sea crisis remains unresolved- Midterm polling continues to baffle everyone — one analysis found the exact same raw poll data can be weighted to show anywhere from a D+7.1 to a D+9.2 generic ballot lead, all using defensible methodology, as pollsters brace for another 2024-style turnout surprise- The DOJ charges 16 people across seven states with illegal voting and election fraud, part of a broader sweep that's now reviewing 300,000 case files and made 151 arrests so farThe Tony Kinnett Cast is The Daily Signal's nightly flagship show, hosted by national correspondent Tony Kinnett — covering the day's biggest stories with analysis, commentary, and guests from across the political and media landscape.🎙 Apple Podcasts🎙 Spotify💬 Discord📩 Contact Tony🌐 The Daily SignalProduced by Daniel Elmore, Allison Lemons, Josiah Lott, Lou Scataglia, and Jennifer Schmidt.
