Lena Dunham is a liar. A male friend was accused of rape, and she claimed that she had intimate knowledge of the event and her friend, Murray Miller, was innocent. Today, she wrote in Hollywood Reporter that she lied; she never had any information, and she chose to believe her friend.

Then, Dunham blames men for making her lie. Tony's commentary is a must-hear and must-share.

Also interesting? In one of Streisand's new songs - written to protest President Donald Trump - it sounds like her lyrics were taken directly from the Midnight Oil song, "Beds Are Burning." Is she a thief? You decide.

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.

When Twitter users pushed back against this idea, Rep. Swalwell chided them, saying the US government has "nukes," so it's not like Americans could fight back.

Tony Katz takes a look at this idea, and explains how Rep. Swalwell has never thought through his idea. Tony explains the pitfalls, impossibilities and flat-out madness of his ugly, anti-American idea. Then, Tony takes us down the 'what if?' road. If Rep. Swalwell tried to take America's guns, here's the dystopian reality he would bring to the nation.

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.

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.

Griff Jenkins of FOX News reports from Broward County, FL about the recounts underway in the Governor, Senate and Agriculture Secretary races.

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.

Tyler Spady, 22, was at the Borderline Bar and Grill when it happened, and told Tony Katz what he saw - including seeing the attacker turn his direction to fire his weapon - and how he and others escaped.

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.

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)

Brandon Straka got 5000 people to show up to the WalkAway march. Kanye West is working on BLEXIT; Black Exit....from the Democratic Party. Speaking of, the Indiana Democratic Party is getting very desperate, sending out mailers trying to convince Republicans to vote for the Libertarian candidate.

And a father and his 5 year-old son dressed as Hitler and an SS officer for Halloween. Yeah. We wish we were making that up, too.

"You're not the only ones who are traumatized. We're all traumatized. You're not special." says Tony. "What you need to do is put your pants on and get to work."

A child died from playing the choking game. Tony discusses the need to be aware of your kids presence on social media, and discusses his own experiences with online trolls and haters.

WWE star Roman Reigns abdicates his title because his leukemia has returned. Parents, get ready to talk to your kids about it...because they are going to ask about it.

Sen. Young is firm in his belief that the murder of Jamal Khashoggi can not go unpunished, and that the Saudis need the US far more than the US needs the Saudis.

On the caravan, Tony asks Sen. Young if this can be seen as an invading force, and what can the US do about it? The two also discuss the Indiana senate race.

And what has President Trump really given the Republican party? He taught them how to fight.

The caravan continues to head to the United States from Honduras, and President Trump is putting pressure on Mexico to prevent their entry.

And someone accused Tony of peddling "fake outrage." Yeah....that didn't sit well. Mostly because it was nonsense.

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.

Jay-Z and Beyonce have cut all ties with Kanye and Kim Kardashian. Which group is the real power couple in America? And a woman was removed from a Frontier Airlines flight for bringing on an emotional support squirrel. People, stop ruining everything!

Tony Katz breaks down what it means, and why everyone needs to calm down.

Trolls and "intellectuals" want to claim Tony is wrong for saying the violence is only on the political Left. But he has never said that. The question he asks is, "Which side's elected leadership condones and supports violent actions to acheive their political ends?"

And Khabib Nurmagomedov is fined $2 million dollars - his entire fight night payday! - for starting a brawl in Vegas after defeating Conor McGregor.

Taylor Swift went full political, claiming that Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn is too frightening to vote for. However, what she said about the senate candidate is not accurate.

And is there a Blue Wave coming? Is there a Red Wave coming? Or is everyone just gonna get flooded?

A GOP senator refuses to allow Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill (MO) to use his likeness in a TV ad that claims she is bi-partisan. Why? Because, as he says it, she's extremely partisan.

Republican senators were doxxed by a Democratic intern. We now know his identity, and all the people he worked for. And Producer Ari was Homecoming King.

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.

(Photo Credit: Screenshot / http://www.fox35orlando.com/news/man-describes-how-he-hung-a-re-elect-trump-banner-at-walt-disney-world)

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.

A pastor at a Chicago church burned a rainbow flag after being told by the Archdiocese that they forbid it. With everything going on with clergy across America and the Church around the globe, this is not the press they needed. Oh, and what's the point of burning the flag?

Is Texas too close to call in the Senate race between Sen. Ted Cruz and Beto O'Rourke? And the Marines have put the Russians in their place in Syria.

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.

Michael Moore joins CNN's Chris Cuomo to share some X-Files worthy conspiracy theories on Kavanaugh. Then again, he's the same guy who thinks Cuba is the pinnacle of healthcare.

And Bert and Ernie are gay. Or they're not. But why even make the claim if they are? Tony wonders, "If they're gay, who do they want to know this? The parents? Or the five year olds watching?"

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) wants the Department of Justice to look into whether former Secretary of State John Kerry broke the law by continuing to engage in conversations with the Iranians.

And Sen. Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT) tells comic and TV host Sarah Silverman that the United States starves children and blows up buses. Yes, really. No, I don't understand it. Here, you listen to it and then tell me what you think.

A baggage handler in Spain is caught on camera stealing a speaker out of a passenger's luggage, confimring the suspicions of every traveller in the world. Amazon employees are being bribed $2,000 to change bad reviews on their site, and are selling data to Chinese users.

And The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol wants to find a candidate to run against President Trump in 2020. His dream choices right now? Sen. Ben Sasse, Sen. Jeff Flake and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Seriously.

Yes, Trump Derangement Syndrome condones violence. And, as Tony Katz has noted, we have seen violence:

• A Wyoming Republican headquarters was set on fire two days after it opened.
• A Twitter account made a threat to shoot and kill Trump supporters who were having a meet-up.
• PJ Media contributor DC McAllister was threatened with violence and rape, and went into hiding.
• MSNBC's Joe Scarborough says President Trump is worse than Osama Bin Laden

As Tony says, Trump Derangement Syndrome is very real. And the result of the syndrome is impossible to deny.

She told the New York Daily News editorial board that New York should pass the legislation first. Then, later, they can figure out how to fund it.

Wait. Wut?

Tony is quickly reminded of Rep. Nancy Pelosi's famous insanity, that we had to pass Obamacare, "to find out what is in it."

But, does it have anything to do with Nike and Colin Kaepernick? Listen!!!

"This is what happens when you hate Trump and believe your own hype!" said Tony. "It's the picture of elitism. Booker believes that he is the arbiter of decency and justice, and that rules that get in his way must be sidestepped for the good of the country. Who votes for this guy?"

But a look into the emails shows that they aren't about racial profiling in general, but are specific to conversation that happened in the wake of 9/11; literally months after the attacks.

UPDATE - It was learned, after the show, that Bush WH lawyers had cleared the memos Booker released. Meaning that Booker's show of bravado was nothing more than bad acting from a bad actor.

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.

The Department of Education had some extremely high numbers about the amount of school shootings in America. When NPR investigated - yes. NPR! - they discovered the numbers are far lower than being reported. The question is why?

ABC is going forward with Roseanne without Roseanne, renaming it The Conners. But Tony questions the rumor that the plan is to kill off the Roseanne character.

Oh, and playing Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch is nearly impossible!

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

A Second Amendment Success Story shows why guns should not be feared, but respected. And Tony explains the cancellation of Michelle Wolf on Netflix, and how David Letterman broke his heart.

ISIS is evil, and four dead cyclists prove it. Omarosa gets trolled by the GOP and President Trump, and her problems get even worse when multiple people refute her claims.

And we've got the Overheard segment. You'll love it.

"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.

Socialist and NY candidate for Governor Cynthia Nixon says the rent is "too damn high," and favors Universal Rent Control. Tony explains how Socialist ideas like this do nothing for the people.

And things in America seem to be leading us in to a dangerous place. Tony wonders if those who want to "tear it all down" have really thought through what that means.

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?

The NCAA has set new standard for high school and college basketball players, allowing them to have agents and allowing those agents to pay for their lodging and meals.

And Rosie O'Donnell continues on her "Russia Got Trump Elected" tour, with an added twist: "The Media Is At Fault For Getting Him Elected."

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.

• Tony Katz

Lemon then took over nine minutes of his TV broadcast to lay a serious of claims at Trump's feet, the most egregious being that President Trump is a racist.

It took Tony about that time to explain why Lemon's comments were simply untrue. And, with just a little bit of out-of-the-box thinking, exactly how out of bounds much of what Lemon said really is.

Over 60 people were shot, and 12 were killed in Chicago over the weekend. When do we start discussing the culture underneath that leads to this violence? "White kids shoot in schools, and the majority of shootings on the street are by black kids and men," says Tony. "There is something cultural to both of these things...maybe we should talk about it so we can, you know, fix it."

And with a big election coming for Mayor in Chi-Town, maybe residents can try this one idea that just might make a difference.

Oh, and a woman had an emergency C-Section without any pain meds. She's suing the hospital, which tried to make it right with a $25 gift card to the gift shop.

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.

And parents, in an effort to help their children make friends, are hiring coaches to help them get better at online gaming sensation Fortnite.

And Netflix, which has given deals to the Obamas and former Daily Show writer (and Sarah Huckabee Sanders hater) Michelle Wolf, is now airing a documentary about bigot and antisemite Louis Farrakhan made by his son.

Also, Tony needs a dog. But which one?

The problem is that the media has not recognized their complict role in creating this issue. "The junkie needs to accept the fact that their on the junk!"

Also, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb - after vandalism at an Indianapolis area synagogue - has thrown his support behind hate crimes legislation. Tony thinks it's a bad idea to create groups of people who are more protected than others.
