Description: 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. Primary night is here in Minnesota and Wisconsin, with democratic socialists once again threatening to hijack the Democratic Party — and the GOP dealing with its own headaches. Meanwhile, the Washington Post just revealed President Trump secretly swapped planes in Turkey last month after intelligence uncovered a credible Iranian plot to shoot down Air Force One — and somehow the legacy media's outrage is aimed at the deception, not the attempted assassination. TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN: - Wisconsin Democrats are on track to nominate self-described democratic socialist Francesca Hong for governor, a former restaurant owner who'd be the nation's first socialist governor if she wins in November - Minnesota's Democratic Senate primary between Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and Rep. Angie Craig turns into a bloodbath, with Flanagan unable to escape her direct role in the state's $9 billion fraud scandal even from fellow Democrats - Republicans have their own circus brewing in Minnesota's governor primary, where MyPillow's Mike Lindell leads in the polls on a Trump endorsement — but faces fresh questions over his campaign finance violations and whether he even meets the state's residency requirements - The Pentagon races to close the drone gap with Ukraine and China, backing new domestic manufacturing plants as the U.S. shifts toward mass-producing cheap, expendable drones for a new era of warfare - The Washington Post reveals President Trump secretly swapped Air Force One for a decoy after intelligence uncovered a credible Iranian missile plot in Turkey — legacy media response: outrage that they weren't told 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.
