On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we prepare for an edited, 18-minute long interview between CNN’s Dana Bash, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Minnesota governor Tim Walz. Can this give her the push her race so desperately needs in the swing state? Or is this just another log on the heap of media escapism and awkward laughter?

Harris and Walz are both caught in additional lies concerning past achievements and employments. Did Harris actually work at McDonald’s to pay for college? Why does this matter, and if it’s not true, why lie about it in the first place? Do Americans really care if you worked a service industry or blue collar job before you went into politics or became wealthy?

Jerry Lopez, @IndySpanglish on X, joins us for another exciting installment of “Awful Tweets,” where we take the worst social media posts you send us and suffer through them live on air. It’s getting so bad out there this electoral season, we might have to do an extra segment per week focusing on just the horrible posts from legacy media journalists alone.

Finally, we piece through the worst atrocities committed by gangs of illegal immigrants in the Sun Belt. Violent crimes in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and western Texas could spell electoral trouble—but those paying the highest price are those living in fear of brutal barbarism streaming across a southern border too close for comfort.

Ep. 166 - "My Values Haven't Changed" (Except When They Did)

On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we examine the bizarre goal of Vice President Kamala Harris to both distance herself from her role in the Biden administration while claiming responsibility for what she considers to be its successes. How can a vice president be both the insider and the outsider? How is it going for legacy media attempting to cover that up—and what on earth is going on in Michigan and Wisconsin?

We chat about political tokenism and what makes a “photo op.” After former president Donald Trump’s trip paid a visit to Arlington National Cemetery to honor the 13 fallen soldiers killed during the Biden administration’s ordered withdrawal of Afghanistan, he was hit with allegations of using the event for political gain. Who gets to decide what makes a trip necessary for a leader to make instead of a campaign convenience?

State Superintendent Ryan Walters of Oklahoma joins the show to answer a few questions about the controversy of adding references to the Bible to Oklahoma’s U.S. history standards, and whether or not firing over 300 Oklahoma Department of Education staff impacted local students in any discernible way.

Finally, we tackle the legacy of “mansplaining” and how it’s being used as a crutch for the left as we prepare for both the first TV interview since Harris became the Democratic nominee and the first Harris/Trump debate in early September. Why is Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota required to chaperone the female vice president?

Ep. 165 - Kamala's Desperation to Escape Joe Biden

On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we dive into the worst dumpster fire of a political scandal in decades: the Mark Zuckerberg letter to Rep. Jim Jordan. After years of being told that the government wasn’t pressuring social media companies to censor different political opinions, Matt Taibbi’s “Twitter Files” and the Zuckerberg letter leave a damning footnote on this page of history.

Special counsel Jack Smith defies the Supreme Court of the United States to file an emergency indictment against former president Donald Trump. We dig into the news as it breaks and examine critical details in this shocking turn of events.

Vice President Kamala Harris now disavows her electric vehicle mandate in her latest policy flip-flop to appeal to voters. Is any of this true? When will Harris sit down for an interview? Will she go through with debating Trump?

Mike Petrilli from the Fordham Institute joins to discuss the latest in a massive study that examines whether educational gaps between black, white, and Hispanic students are a result of racism, systemic gaps, cultural differences, or something else altogether. What do we need to fix those problems? Will another government policy prescription save the day?

Ep. 164 - The Election Justifies the Means: Machiavelli Endorses Kamala

On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we examine the fallout from the Robert F. Kennedy endorsement of former president Donald Trump and the Democratic National Convention. Every pollster has their own take—and as usual, no one is using their common sense. With former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hi, joining Trump endorsement crew—what differences, if any, should we expect?

With Joel Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, announcing rate cuts just in time for the election, what accountability is there for falsified jobs numbers from the Biden administration? Does your wallet have what it takes to survive yet another round of inflation?

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who legacy media have been championing as America’s “sitcom dad” for the last month after joining Kamala Harris as her Democratic vice presidential hopeful, is embroiled in even more scandals over embellishing his record. From dogs and Army ranks to Nebraskan awards and in-vitro fertilization, he certainly picked the weirdest things to lie about.

Savanna Deretich joins us from Students for Life to bring an eye-witness analysis of the gubernatorial record of Walz and what it meant for her as a Minnesota resident. She claims the soft, friendly words from Walz did little to soothe the radical policy and violent riots which plagued his administration.

Ep. 163 - Gabbard and RFK Jr. Declare "All Hands on Deck" for Trump

On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we cover Robert F. Kennedy’s endorsement of Donald Trump for the presidency as he drops out of the race, somehow. Are we really going to see any difference in the polls nationally? What about the swing states?

Get out the popcorn, because the media’s reaction to Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic National Convention this week is a spectacle to behold. Get ready to laugh and cry (from secondhand embarrassment) as the hard-hitting journalists in the legacy media cover the serious and important issues like the number of balloons falling from the United Stadium ceiling after Harris spoke—as opposed to the riots outside.

What are the results of those riots? Did the socialists, pro-Palestinians, and far-left actors get all of their anger out of their system? Is a unified base ready to come support the wondrous JOY of Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor and stolen valor champion Tim Walz?

Finally, we dig into an avalanche of questions in Mail Time straight from your phones and computers into our inbox. We take the best and worst of those questions and answer them live on air to the amusement and bemusement of our syndicated audience.

LIVE Coverage of the DNC Riots

On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we dig into the boldest promises from the Harris/Walz and Trump/Vance campaigns. It’s a veritable supermarket of proposed tax cuts, governmental price control, and every social and economic fantasy in between. Bipartisan support and backlash to these promises has social media and network television spinning—we’ll break that down for you.

Political experts, pundits, officials, and entertainers are enjoying a field day over the Harris/Walz housing and price control initiatives, likening Kamala’s very first policy proposals to communism. How have price control and housing allowances worked in the past? What makes a policy “communist” instead of a political right hook?

International tensions continue to climb as Ukraine advances into Russia, Israel retaliates against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Iran yells at the wind. If the President of the United States is nowhere to be found, where does the world look to leadership? Is there a bad way to win a war—and who came up with these conditions and special rules, anyway?

We round out another wild week with a bit of “Mail Time.” The questions fly in fast, and we try to answer a few of your questions about the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago and our planned coverage of it!
