Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani told 8 million sweltering New Yorkers to set their AC to 78 degrees to save the grid — and the internet responded with exactly the mockery you'd expect. Meanwhile in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison pardoned a man who repeatedly assaulted a 10-year-old girl, wiping his record clean just days before ICE was set to deport him. This is who Democrats are protecting. TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN: - Mayor Zohran Mamdani tells New Yorkers to set thermostats to 78 degrees amid a brutal heat wave — DeSantis, Stefanik, Huckabee Sanders, and half the internet roast him as the "warmth of collectivism" meets the reality of socialist energy policy - Gov. Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison pardon Tou Lue Vang, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl — wiping his record just a week before his scheduled ICE deportation - Global stock market cap hits a record $166 trillion - The U.S. survives a controversial red card to beat Bosnia 2-0 and advance to the Round of 16 — plus more pro-American fare as the country gears up for America's 250th on July 4th - New polling shows Americans deeply unsettled by the socialist and Islamist surge in recent primaries — spelling serious trouble for Democrats heading into the general election - GUEST: Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation joins LIVE for a special Fourth of July message 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.
