What is true, says Tony Katz, is that Phillips is a liar. Phil Kerpen of American Commitment joins Tony to discuss the real story of Phillips: he lied about serving in Vietnam. He also has a history of aggressive behavior, and inserting himself into bad situations.

So why did media continue to push the lie that Phillips himself was attacked/accosted/insulted? And will any media correct the record?

Tony Katz thinks its important to remember that they are kids. And, they didn't do anything wrong.

"When kids were murdered in Parkland, FL, and the high-profile students became cable news fixtures, I reminded people that you may disagree with what they are saying, about guns and the Second Amendment," says Tony. "But they are kids. Remember that."

"Yet, when it comes to Covington Catholic students, media professionals and elected officials seem to think they are fair game for violence and vitriol based on lies. They're not. It's just wrong, and they're wrong."

Twitter has made their position clear: The First Amendment ain't worth a crap. And no, Ellen Barkin, Mississippi is not made up of a bunch of racists.

General Motors is reducing their workforce by 15%. Why? The times are changing, and no one wants cars anymore. Sutdents in Wisconsin took a photo giving the Nazi salute. They're not Nazis, however. They're just morons, and this photo will haunt them forever.

Ohio Governor John Kasich is seriously considering running for the presidential nomination against President Trump.

Senator Chuck Schumer thinks Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida should be re-elected, no matter the vote count. (Basically, he said that.) And a look at Letters To The Editor.

First Lady Melania Trump wants Deputy NSA Mira Ricardel fired because of the way Ricardel treated her staff, and potential leaks the deputy made that were disparaging to the First Lady.

Monica Lewinsky is in the news, making a docu-series about her sexual relationship with former President Bill Clinton. Are we supposed to care? Are we supposed to give Bill a pass? And the military needs serious upkeep.

Tony Katz has three stories that are must hear: Fox News is defending CNN in their lawsuit against the Trump White House over Jim Acosta's press pass. A billion dollar lottery ticket has yet to be claimed, which means someone needs to check behind grandma's couch!

And, Amazon Echo is listening to you, and may have listened to a murder.

Experts say 2019 is going to be a year of big tax refunds. What is Producer Ari going to spend it on? (And all the credit to comic Gary Gulman for the "holiday sauce" reference. You'll hear it.)

Tony also has a recap on CNN's Jim Acosta, and the Democrats have guns in their sights.

Corruption exists in government, but some of the examples out of Oregon are downright disgusting! Speaking of disgusting, Pete Davidson of Saturday Night Live makes fun of congressional candidate Daniel Crenshaw, who lost an eye during a tour of duty in Afghanistan.

NOTE - Tony accidentally said Crenshaw was a Marine. Crenshaw was a Navy SEAL. The insignia on his glass eye is the SEAL Trident.

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC 11) calls in to talk about congressional priorities, how the US will deal with Saudi Arabia and whether Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly was right to side with the Iran Nuclear Deal.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responds firmly to ABC's Jon Karl and CNN's Jim Acosta and their accusation that President Trump has not said/done enough after the murder of eleven people in Pittsburgh by an anti-Semite.

And what's all this about birthright citizenship? And what's all this about a rise in anti-Semitism in the US?

(NOTE - I made reference to the Volokh Conspiracy blog, and mentioned it moved from the Washington Post to 538.com to it's home at Reason.com. It was never at 538 Blog. I take full responsibility for the error. My apologies. - Tony)

Does that strike anyone else as, well, odd?

First President Trump calls Stormy Daniels "horseface." Now, she calls him "tiny." Can 2018 get more insane? And how wrong Rep. Nancy Pelosi is on Trump and why he wants to build a wall. (And does he ever want to build a wall!)

And if James Woods and Roseanne did a sitcom, would you watch? Yeah you would. Of course you would.

Cherokee Nation is very, very pissed.

James Wolfe will hopefully do jail time for being a leaker of classified information and lying to the FBI. And maybe New York Times reporter Ali Watkins will stopping have sex with leakers like Wolfe for said classified information.

And President Trump wins a defamation case against Stormy Daniels and her lawyer, Michael Avenatti. So he took to Twitter to call her "Horseface." Tony doesn't know where the hell this comes from.

Also like what? Like a panel run by Don Lemon referring to Kanye West as an uneducated "negro." Yes! Really!

And New York City now allows you to put "X" instead of male or female on your birth certificate. Yes.....really.

Tony Katz also has amazing audio from former newsman Ted Koppel taking CNN's Brian Stelter to task over President Trump's presence being responsible for huge ratings. Stelter disagreed. Strongly. Tony can't understand why.

And a new study says 1 in 3 Americans has fast food at least once a day. But fast food restaurants have been revamping menus for years to accomodate American's healthier eating habits. So, what's the problem?

Rapper Kanye West, who emplored America to think for themselves on Saturday Night Live, now wants to get President Trump and Colin Kaepernick in the same room. A Georgetown Professor, Christine Fair, proves the leftist/violence narrative by proclaiming on Twitter that white Republican senators should be castrated....well, after they dead.

And the big story about Judge Brett Kavanaugh - that he got arrested in 1985 because he threw ice at a guy at a bar - got even stranger, when UB40 gets involved.

Oh, and don't over exaggerate. It's not a good look for Republicans or Democrats or anyone, especially when there is video proof.

Kanye West, in an SNL rehearsal, went on an impromptu rant about how President Trump is not racist, how his "Make America Great Again" hat is his "Superman Cape," how media wants Democrats and black people to think Trump is a bigot and how he gets bullied for "following his heart" on Trump.

"Kanye may be crazy," says Tony. "But he has 28 million followers on Twitter. If he says Trump is ok, will other people start to feel the same way? Politics is downstream of culture."

Rachel Mitchell, who asked the questions of Dr. Christine Ford for the Republicans, has put out a report detailing the descrepancies in Dr. Ford's testimony.

Isn't everyone in America supposed to hate President Trump? One banner is not a scientific study, but maybe it's a signal that the hate is not as great as the media wants to tell us.

Her lawyer is Michael Avenatti. Yes, porn star Stormy Daniels' lawyer. Tony breaks it all down.

Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is going to debate her GOP competitor, Dr. Anthony Pappas, who holds a degree in economics. Yes - Ocasio-Cortez is going to debate her nonsense, economically impossible policies with an economics professor! Bring popcorn. All of the popcorn!!

And bad news this Halloween. The sexy Handmaid's Tale costume is off the market. Luckily, sexy Hillary Clinton is still available.

Can we admit this is all a political hit job now?

And Tony goes through the Mike Tyson story, and how the #KavanaughCircus shows just how out of whack our society is. Also, Michael Moore's lastest movie is a bust.

Actor and director Nick Searcy calls in live from Toronto to discuss his film, Gosnell: The Trial Of America's Biggest Serial Killer. NPR has refused to allow advertising of the film on their stations, because the ads refer to Dr. Kermit Gosnell as an "abortionist."

And a GOP member of Congress wants all members of Congress to have random drug tests.

SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh has his second day of confirmation hearings, and the political Left has not stopped with their embarrassing, foolhardy, nonsense antics. And Tony talks about two new studies regarding children and the idea of eing transgender.

Colin Kaepernick is part of Nike's "Just Do It" 30th anniversary promotion. And America has reacted in a myriad of ways. Tony wants to talk about actual sacrifice, and how ridiculous it is to burn your sneakers.

Writer and long time radio producer Cameron Gray joins Tony in studio to talk about the funeral of Sen. John McCain, and why so many in the media have gone gaga over the long time Republican senator.

In-and-Out Burger gave a donation to the California Republican Party, and the political Left decided to lose their collective minds and are now boycotting the food institution.

And sexism at the US Open, where female tennis star Alize Cornet was penalized for taking off her shirt courtside (she had a sports bra on, so settle down.) Turns out men can take their shirts off, women can't.

Tony Katz covers how media and Florida Democrats claimed GOP Governor candidate Rep. Ron DeSantis is blowing racist dog whistles by saying of Democrat candidate, Mayor Andrew Gillum, that his socialist agenda is not what Florida wants, and they shouldn't “...monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state. That is not gonna work. That’s not gonna be good for Florida.”

Gillum is black. And media and the Democrats lied about what DeSantis said to try and paint him as a racist.

If that wasn't enough of a crazy, CNN's legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said that the reason Preisdent Trump is no fan of ANTIFA is because they are "predominantly black." Yeah...that's not true at all.

Defense Distributed was told by a judge that they can not post online blueprints for 3-D printed guns becuase of a lawsuit against them by numerous states. The judge declared that the security of the states "dwarfed" the free speech rights of the company.

And Pope Francis has now been brought into the child abuse scandals rocking the Catholic church with a report that he gave preferential treatment to disgraced Cardnial Theodore McCarrick.

In addition to two radio shows a day, Tony is starting a new podcast - Eat! Drink! Smoke! Tony explains what it's all about, and digs in to why he enjoys and appreciates cigars so much.

And comic David Cross creates a problem for himself at the University of Utah, like Andy Gross did at Purdue. Why are comics still bothering with doing shows on college campuses? The money must be great

"The press can't act like they are the ones under attack. We need, and should support reporters, who do the important work of journalism. And media should admit when they, or their people, have acted in a way that destroys America's faith in news organizations." - Tony Katz

GOP Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy joined Tony in studio to talk about the midterms, and what happens if Rep. Nancy Pelosi becomes Speaker of the House.

Actor and director Nick Searcy talks about Gosnell Movie, the story of abortionist and serial killer Dr. Kermit Gosnell. The movie was crowd-funded in 2014, and just now has distribution. Searcy talks about the story of Gosnell, his vision for the film and whether there has been any pushback.

Massachusetts liberals are upset with Jim Koch, the founder of Samuel Adams beer, because he is a fan of the tax cuts, and said so to President Trump. So, Tony and Producer Ari decide to have a few beers during the show.

More than 100 newspapers are colluding to write editorials on the same day that slam President Trump for calling the media, "the enemy of the people." Tony has a plan to enjoy that day....want to help?

And while it's fine to discuss character, and the character of President Trump, perhaps a deeper look is needed into what made people vote for him. And the truth? Maybe he's far from perfect, but maybe he's exactly what America needed.

New York Democratic (Socialist) Mayor Bill DeBlasio goes on CNN to tell Brian Stelter that FOX News and the New York Post are destroying America with their "lies," while CNN is straight down the middle, unbiased news.

And Omarosa - the former contestant on The Apprentice and worked in the White House for a short time - is exactly the awful, terrible, horrible person you thought she was. She secretly recorded her conversations with President Trump, Chief of Staff John Kelly and, it seems, a host of others.

The FDA is looking to expand experimentation on mice, and has signed contracts for the very Orwellian-sounding, "fresh fetal tissue." Is this the US government promoting abortion?

And the MSNBC-pushed, super-secret Nunes tapes are not secret...and not a scandal. Rep. Devin Nunes is caught on tape saying that if Democrats get control of the House, they will push to impeach President Trump.

Seriously....who didn't know that?

But, as Tony Katz notes, the Left is not satisfied with this clearly rational answer. The Progressive online mob wants Jones gone, and is demanding that Dorsey do their bidding. They're just like Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who stated that banning Jones was just a beginning. Because, as he said it, "The future of our Democracy depends on it."

This is the Democratic Party's logic: Save Democracy by silencing others.

The New York Times has made it clear they are standing behind their new hire and editorial board member Sarah Jeong, regardless of the myriad of racist tweets she has sent. They claim they reviewed her social media accounts before hiring her. Tony takes a look some of her other hateful comments on Twitter, and you can decide if you want to read the New York Times again.

And Tony expresses his love for Florida and James of Good Times.
