Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
The Houthis just knocked Saudi Arabia's critical East-West pipeline offline for weeks, sending gas to a record $4.32 a gallon and diesel to an all-time high of $6.23. As Iran's own parliament grapples with a collapsing economy under the U.S. blockade, FBI Director Kash Patel is getting grilled in a genuinely explosive Senate Judiciary hearing today, and Rep. Thomas Massie just blindsided GOP leadership with a surprise impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Hegseth over the Iran war.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- The Houthis take Yemen's Mokha port and the strategic Hanish Islands, while a strike on Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline — its only oil export route bypassing Hormuz — could keep it offline for 3-5 weeks; gas hits a record $4.32/gallon nationally
- Iran's parliament and economy ministry openly acknowledge the naval blockade is crushing household budgets, with bread and basic staples becoming unaffordable as inflation spirals
- FBI Director Kash Patel returns to a combative Senate Judiciary hearing, defending the bureau's loosened hiring standards and clashing with Sens. Schiff and Booker as Democrats seize on internal turmoil at the Bureau
- Rep. Thomas Massie forces a surprise, privileged impeachment vote against Defense Secretary Hegseth, accusing him of illegally continuing the Iran war in defiance of Congress — GOP leadership had no advance warning
- New polling shows a genuinely wild swing in the midterm picture — some pollsters show Democrats' double-digit lead collapsing to just 2-3 points as the Iran war scrambles the political map
