We're working on it. Sorry, 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 2: a lot of bumps along the way. Tony Kennitt joins us.

So you're welcome. 10 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: Why are you always in the swamp dude? 11 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 3: Like that's your job? Is that you're giving me? I mean, 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 3: I look, I daily signal national correspondent. That means they 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 3: bring me around to say things in front of the 14 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 3: country occasionally. So Bongino just retired fourteen minutes ago. I 15 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 3: have to learn about this before the show in ninety minutes. 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 3: So I mean, it's wonderful. It's lovely time to be 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 3: in DC. 18 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: Wait, what do you mean Bongino retired? 19 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 3: What that means? Oh? Dan Bongino the assistant director of 20 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 3: the FBI. He cleaned out his office this morning and 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 3: just put out a post on X that he is 22 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 3: flying the coup. I will be leaving my position with 23 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: the FBI in January. Wow. Then he thanks everyone and 24 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: you know, gives out some free cokes and candies. It's 25 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 3: real nice. Was he a failure? Tony? Did that work? No, 26 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: Dan Bongino, No, I have really grown to dislike Cash Pattel. 27 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 3: I'll level with you, guys. I gave him every fighting chance. 28 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 3: I think Cash Ptel has been a bigger disappointment than 29 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 3: the ninth season of Scrubs. I mean it's just all. 30 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 3: I mean, bigger disappointment than the IU basketball program compared 31 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 3: to its football program. Now, I mean, good lord, this 32 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 3: is frustrating beyond belief because all you had to do 33 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 3: was go in and be serious about the job, and 34 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 3: Cash Pttel wanted to play instagrammer. I'm sorry he just did. 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 3: And it bothers me when we're in the middle of 36 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 3: this Brown University thing that I'm ankle deep in with 37 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: all of the stuff going on, now, I have Brown 38 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: University people reach out to me issuing well, let's just 39 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: call them racist comments towards yours truly for being involved 40 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: in this this shooting investigation. Cash Bizel showed up and 41 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 3: started posting little Instagram photos because it's fun. That's annoying. 42 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: What are you what have you learned about the Brown shooting. 43 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 3: I'm sorry to dump all of all of that on 44 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 3: you guys, Okay, I mean that's why we have you 45 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: on man, the Brown University staff, and I deeply apologize 46 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 3: if there's a delay in my microphone. I promise I'm 47 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 3: not trying to talk overnight. There is a weird situation 48 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: in which the university is trying to scrub information about 49 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: a student who goes by the name of Mustafa No, 50 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 3: not the Lion King guy. And this guy you for 51 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 3: the clarification, Yeah, you're welcome. Yeah, not James Earl Jones. 52 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 3: This weird indication that he had been in support of 53 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 3: all of these far left leaning pro terror activities and 54 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: organizations the same language. The university scrubbed all of his information, 55 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: and then we saw the president of the university, Christina Packson, 56 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: say she had no idea what was going on, and 57 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 3: then the Attorney General of Rhode Island say he did 58 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: know what was going on. It's very strange stuff. Brown 59 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 3: University has tried to say that he both is and 60 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: isn't a person of interest, which that's not Brown's job 61 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: to do. That would be the police department. Who issues 62 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 3: those statements, not some overweight single secretary tweeting from her apartment. 63 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: Well, some of those folks, they have good hearts, tonas, 64 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: and I've taken some of those home in my earlier days. 65 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 3: So you got to live him a wester all. She doesn't. 66 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: Hey, tonight, Donald Trump's going to be delivering a prime 67 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: time address now. Tucker Carlson went on social media earlier 68 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: and said there could be a declaration of war in 69 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: some capacity tonight. 70 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 3: What have you heard? What are we going to get tonight? 71 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: I mean, if we're talking about what I've heard, it's 72 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 3: probably Tucker Carlson's crazy laugh. But do I think there's 73 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: gonna be a declaration of war tonight? No? I think 74 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: that Trump is probably going to come out and tout 75 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 3: some successes. It's the end of the year. I'm looking 76 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: at some of our We reached out to some people 77 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: in Congress too. There was a closed door meeting in 78 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: the Senate today. He's going to mention a blockade in Venezuela. 79 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 3: Almost certainly, he's not going to declare a ground war 80 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 3: in Venezuela. As much as I love to shave my 81 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: beard and put on the uniform. I don't think that's happening. 82 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: So so it's more of a I mean they're already 83 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: doing the blockade right of oil coming in and out 84 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: or at least into Venezuela and then coming back out Venezuela. 85 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that's how they get by. That's like ninety 86 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: five percent of their income is the exporting of oil, 87 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: and when Donald Trump is messing with that, that's a 88 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: big problem. 89 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And again we've had sanctions on several key industries 90 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 3: in Venezuela and oil with their buyers, not necessarily with 91 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 3: the supplier of Venezuela. Venezuela also can't refine their own 92 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 3: oil because their people burnt down the refineries because that's 93 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 3: what a skilled and industrious people do. So we're I mean, 94 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: goodness gracious, the other five percent of that economy, nige, 95 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 3: as we all know, is human and drug trafficking, as 96 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: all good, sweet lovely children of God do. So I mean, 97 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: it's just a massive mess. But if it's not solved, 98 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: it will grow worse. I mean, this kind of narco 99 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 3: terrorism is cancer. 100 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: Tony Kennitt's investigative reporter with a daily Signal and host 101 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: of the Tony Kennitt cast joining us Tony One more 102 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 2: thing on Trump here. 103 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 3: Nige and I were just talking about the. 104 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: Rob Reiner statement, the post that he put out on 105 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: truth Social that everybody's fired up about. Am I a 106 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: horrible person? Because I just don't care one way or 107 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: the other. If Trump wants to crap on Reiner, go ahead. 108 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: If Reiner wanted to crap on Charlie Kirk or a Trump, 109 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't affect me. Does that make sense? 110 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 3: It does? And I think that a couple of things 111 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 3: can be true here. So I'm infinitely more angry at 112 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: Susie Wiles than I am at Trump's Ryaner tweet. Was 113 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 3: it necessary? No? But Donald Trump about once every two 114 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 3: months he steps on a rake on social media? Right, Well, 115 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 3: I'm annoyed at the Rapid Response account. Who I know 116 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: who runs that account? And yes, I have reached out 117 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 3: to him and called him the thing that people call 118 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: Tim Walls when they drive by his house. Sure, reposting 119 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 3: that truth Social post because it's just unnecessary. But am 120 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 3: I mad at Trump over it? No? I mean again, 121 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: people do things that are unnecessary all the time. I mean, 122 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: look how many seasons Glee lasted? So I mean Honestly, 123 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: I don't care Susie Wiles sitting down with Vanity Fair 124 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: for eleven interviews. Yeah, that's sure. 125 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: Yeah you're talking about you're talking about Donald Trump's chief 126 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: of staff. And I think several of Trump's people did 127 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: that with Vanity Fair, did they? 128 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, she's the gatekeeper. I mean she's powerful, you know, 129 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 3: very powerful. I stout media all the time. But and 130 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest, the reason Susie Wiles let Vanity 131 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: Fair in is because she's the first woman chief of staff. 132 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 3: You go, girl, and she likes getting her butt kissed 133 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: on being historic. I'm sorry, it's that is the verifiable truth, 134 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 3: and it bit her in the butt. I mean, someone 135 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: came up to me in DC today and said, hey, 136 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 3: can I stab you eleven times? And you guys know 137 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 3: what I said, No, that's how you treat Vanity Fair. 138 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: You don't go yes, stable way, I'll enjoy it. I'm 139 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 3: sure you'll be fine this time. Stupid. One more thing. 140 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: I want to go back to something we were talking 141 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: about a second ago, the Trump statement on uh Rob Reiner. 142 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: Does that hurt him in the midterms at all? I've 143 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 3: heard this argument. 144 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: I find that argument to be ridiculous that anybody would 145 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 2: actually put their vote in regards to what a tweet 146 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: would say over national security or the economy. But is 147 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: it going to hurt in the midterms. 148 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 3: No. The reason it's not is because we've all seen 149 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 3: the scene in Home Alone where Kevin this called the 150 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 3: disease and awful and lest by his older siblings, and 151 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: it brushes off after you've seen it the eight hundredth time. 152 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: I mean it's yeah, his siblings insult him. Donald Trump 153 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 3: insults people more at eleven. I mean that again, Does 154 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 3: it mean that it was a good move? No? But 155 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 3: is this like, is this the beginning of the end? No? 156 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 3: I mean Trump is very grass and rough kind of 157 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: a guy. I didn't elect Jesus to president of the 158 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 3: United States. I elected an angry New York realtor. 159 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 2: Right right, One more thing here, Tony, before we let 160 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: you go again, Tony Kinnett with us Scott Jennings, who 161 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: you've interviewed I'm a fan of. He says that Jasmine 162 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 2: Crockett is the face of the Democratic Party right now. 163 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: You claim it's AOC. I'm kind of with you. I 164 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: feel like it's AOC. I think Crockett is the JV 165 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 2: version of AOC. Who do you think is the face 166 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: of the Dems? 167 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: So AOC, you can sound smart, Crockett can't. You need 168 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 3: all demographics and Jasmine Crockett can get out there and 169 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: acts as many questions as she likes.
