  <itunes:subtitle>Tony Katz explains how Empire actor Jussie Smollett thought so little of Trump supporters that demonizing them, and dehumanizing them, was a small price to pay to enhance his own fame and fortune.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Jussie Smollett has been arrested and charged with filing a false police report in connection to an alleged attack against him. As the story has played out, Smollett coordinated and paid (by check!) for two Nigerian men to attack him so he could garner sympathy and increase his TV salary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/tonykatz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; gets to the heart of the matter. Why would Jussie Smollett do this, the MSM asks and laments? Simple: he wanted "Reputation Capital," and he thought nothing of attacking, demeaning, lying about and dehumanizing Trump supporters to get it. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; The real story is that Jussie Smollet, and those who think like him, have so dehmanized the Trump supporter and others who disagree with them that they were willing to accuse them of crimes and let them be found guilty for them when they did nothing wrong. And they did it for cultural advancement - for Reputation Capital - and for a paycheck. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Covington Catholic students have been attacked relentlessly. So-called "journalists," media commentators and elected officials - never mind the rabid throngs on social media - have unloaded vicious and violent sentiments towards these kids.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz thinks its important to remember that they are kids. And, they didn't do anything wrong. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"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."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"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." &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;It's all racism today...which is a huge pain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/tonykatz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; 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.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gillum is black. And media and the Democrats lied about what DeSantis said to try and paint him as a racist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;After the back and forth between President Donald Trump and NBA superstar LeBron James, CNN host Don Lemon got into the act. It was Lemon to whom President Trump referred to as the "dumbest man on tv," and that James "looked smart" compared to Lemon. &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; addressed this &lt;a href="https://tonykatztoday.fireside.fm/lebron-james-president-trump-right-wrong" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;in his podcast here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;
