The Tony Kinnett Cast

The war with Iran grinds on as mediators pitch a 10-day ceasefire that the White House isn't rushing to accept, and airlines worldwide keep grounding flights across the entire Middle East as the region shuts down. Back home, an anti-ICE agitator set off an incendiary device outside a federal building in Lower Manhattan this morning, injuring three people in what the FBI is now investigating as domestic terrorism. And the socialist left just showed its true colors — literally, in a Mao suit.

TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:

- The U.S. continues its war footing against Iran as mediators float a 10-day ceasefire to revive the collapsed interim deal — airlines worldwide keep grounding and rerouting flights as the entire Middle East remains a no-go zone
- An anti-ICE activist sets off an incendiary device outside 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan, injuring three, as the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force investigates a possible domestic terror attack
- Streamer Hasan Piker dons a Mao Zedong-style suit at the College Democrats of America convention, declaring the party doesn't need Democrats who "fund ICE" or "fund Israel" — as DSA-backed candidates openly embrace revolutionary rhetoric nationwide
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani says his administration is actively exploring whether to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under an ICC warrant if he visits NYC for the UN General Assembly — Netanyahu's office and even fellow Democrats call it reckless
- Special guest Brylin Hollyhand joins us!

President Trump used his primetime address last night to zero in on Chinese espionage against the United States, declassifying intelligence he says shows Beijing carried out a massive compromise of American voter data. Now he's turning his fire on Canada, threatening new tariffs over wildfire smoke choking American skies. Meanwhile Iran expanded its war to a seventh straight night, striking Kuwait's water supply, U.S. Kurdish allies in Iraq, and multiple Gulf states as unrest reportedly grows inside Iran itself. And Maine Democrats' first debate to replace disgraced candidate Graham Platner was, by every account, an absolute train wreck.

TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:

- President Trump's primetime address shines a light on Chinese espionage against the United States, as newly declassified intelligence reveals the scale of Beijing's data compromise
- Trump threatens new tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke blanketing American skies, demanding Ottawa "do something" about the fires
- Iran expands its war to a seventh straight night, striking a Kuwaiti water desalination plant, U.S.-allied Kurdish forces in Iraq, and targets across the UAE, Qatar, and Jordan as unrest grows inside Iran itself
- Maine Democrats hold their first debate to replace disgraced Senate candidate Graham Platner — and it turns into an instant national punchline
- Olive Garden's pasta pass requires a photo ID. American elections in over a dozen states still don't. We break down the absurdity
