  <description>&lt;p&gt;Alex Clark, host of "Poplitics" and contributor to Turning Point USA, spoke with Tony about the article from leftist attack group Media Matters about the TPUSA Young Women's Leadership Summit."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The piece starts with the headline, "Turning Point USA conference for young women leaders suggests their role is to get married and have babies."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Clark did not back down from the article, which she called hilarious. She spoke about the "design" of women, and how having children and raising a family is something valuable and worthy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On Twitter, &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/yoalexrapz/status/1533592277020332033" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Clark mocked the article&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
&amp;gt; .@mmfa&lt;br&gt;
 is FURIOUS that #YWLS2022 told young conservative to get married and have a lot of babies to save America throughout the conference. While the left is aborting their future generations, we’re getting to work. Look what you made us do. 🇺🇸 &lt;br&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;At a town hall featuring presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker, a woman named Rachel asked him about guns, claiming that she is not free because she has to fear gun violence in schools and places of worship.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sen. Booker's response was one of codifying her fear, and declaring that he will take the fight to the NRA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz goes about answering the question. Instead of telling Rachel that she should be afraid, Tony gives her a better way to look at her life, to turn her fear into empowement and the opportunities she has to control her destiny.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; If you want a society that can guarantee your safety, you will never have freedom. Government can not guarantee security. The American citizen is the first line, and the last line, of defense. &lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>Democrats have opted against attending the AIPAC conference after Rep. Ilhan Omar claimed that Jews were paying member of Congress to support Israel. Tony Katz discusses what is happening and why.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, amongst her tweets about Israel "hypnotizing the world" and claiming Jews have "dual loyalty" proclaimed on social media that members of Congress support the Israel - and specifically AIPAC, the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee - because they are paid to. "It's all about the Benjamins, baby." she wrote.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since then, Democrats have been very open about their anti-Israel sentiments. Progressive group Moveon.org has urged Democrats not to attend the AIPAC meeting in Washington DC this year. And multiple Democratic candidates for president have agreed to skip the event, attend by former President Obama in 2008 and 2012, by Hillary Clinton multiple times and by former Vice-President Joe Biden in 2016.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; explains, the progressives own and control the Democrat party. &lt;em&gt;"Sen. Chuck Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi may be attending,"&lt;/em&gt; said Tony, &lt;em&gt;"but the absence of the candidates is what's loudest. And their messasge is clear: We side with Ilhan Omar."&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has inserted herself into a school safety debate in Indiana. Training for active shooter situations has received press in the Hoosier state as teachers say they were shot at with pellet guns by police officers during the drills.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; agrees: shooting the teachers is ridiculous. However, the commentary and ham-fisted argument of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez on school safety - that it is not necessary to train teachers and students for active shooter situations if we had, among other things, universal background checks and safe storage laws - is not just wrong, it's ugly and dangerous.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Can't you (Rep. Ocasio-Cortez) stop just for a moment?" says Tony. "We're talking about the lives of children. Why is it that you're ok with children and teachers not being trained to deal with problematic, dangerous situations?"&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;President Trump made the decision to prevent transgender troops from entering the military. At the time, it was unknown how it would affect currently serving troops. Also at question, do transgender troops hurt unit cohesion and efficiency?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now, the Pentagon has stated that no transgendered person (or those with Gender Dysphoria) will be allowed to enlist in the US military after April 12th. &lt;a href="http://instagram.com/tonykatz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; speaks with Military.com managing editor Hope Seck about the decision, unit efficiency and the military as a tool of social change. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttegieg, is gaining in popularity. The Democrat has launched a long-shot run for President of the United States, and has gotten some good traction. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, as &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; notes, that traction comes at the expense of Indiana. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Like Indiana media did during the RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) conversation, Buteegieg didn't miss a moment to try and elevate himself while attempting to put down Hoosiers. Yet his own story about winning re-election, after coming out as gay, with 80% of the vote proves the lack of bigotry in the state. So why is he p;aying into the disgusting stereotype that Hoosiers are bigots?&lt;br&gt;
&amp;gt; &lt;br&gt;
&amp;gt; Is that how you win the presidency? Insult your home state? &lt;/p&gt;

  <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;A seven year-old, the son of two GOP supporters, holds a hot cocoa sale to raise money for the wall President Trump wants to build between the US and Mexico.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In response, video of the boy selling cocoa received comments calling him a "Little Hitler."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; explains why this is one of the ugliest stories in America:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; First, don't use your kid as a political prop. I hate it when Democrats do this, and I feel the same when it's done by the GOP. If you support the wall, that's fine. But your seven year-old shouldn't be the way you show your support.&lt;br&gt;
&amp;gt; And if you're so anti-wall and, really, anti- President Trump that you will call a seven year-old, "Little Hitler," you need to see a therapist and get medicated. Quickly. Now. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Jussie Smollett, the actor and singer, will be facing charges for filing a false police report. The Empire star claimed he was attacked by two men in Chicago screaming about "MAGA country" who placed a noose around his neck. The story fell apart when the two men who were suspected of the attack explained how they were paid by Smollett to stage the attack. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But media across America did not wait for the facts: they declared Smollett was telling the truth and wasted no time attacking Trump supporters. Celebrities and presidential candidates like Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) joined in, going so far as to call it a "lynching." &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chicago reporters had taken their time with the story, doing the hard work of journalism, and covered the events properly. &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/tonykatz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; speaks with Chicago FOX 32 reporter and anchor &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/raferweigel" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Rafer Weigel&lt;/a&gt; about the Smollett case, and the state of journalism in America. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Indianapolis Democrat Mayor Joe Hogsett used the NRA as a vehicle to attack GOP Mayoral candidate Jim Merritt. In addition to calling out Merritt's voting record as a state senator, Hogsett went after his support of the National Rifle Association.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hogsett claimed that Merritt takes his "marching orders" from the NRA, and that gun rights is out of step with Marion County voters. Hogsetts NRA attack is ill-timed, as the NRA is holding it's annual meeting in Indianapolis in April. The event will bring an estimated $55 million to the city.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; talks about the personal nature of the attack, and how out of touch Mayor Hogsett is with Indianapolis and America. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;After engaging multiple antisemitic tweets attacking Republican members of Congress for supporting Israel, Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar apologized "unequivocally." However, she did not stop her derision of AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; spoke with prominent Indianapolis Rabbi Ben Sendrow about Rep. Omar's tweets, whether antisemitism is on the rise and what he thought of Rep. Omar's apology.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The two also discussed if there is something wrong with critizing Israel on policy. "Of course not." said Rabbi Sendrow. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The blackface photo on Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam's medical school yearbook page is ugly. It's a photo of person in blackface, standing next to a person in a KKK robe and hood.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/tonykatz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; says, "I don't defend that. It's ugly. And that's being kind."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, the outrage over the photo was met by nearly equal silence over his endorsing if not advocating infanticide as part of an abortion bill bring proposed in Virginia.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony wonders why one gets outrage and one gets barely a mention? &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;A Virginia Democrat brought forth a bill that would allow abortions through the third trimester. When questioned about this, the state rep, Kathy Tran, admitted that the abortion could happen even when the mother is fully dilated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam, in a radio interview, went so far as to say that a mother and her doctor could decide what to do with an infant &lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt; it is born. Yes, Gov. Northam used the word infant, and yes, Northam (who is also a physician!) clearly stated that choices can be made about the infant's future after birth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz shares the audio, and comments on its twisted nature. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Nathan Phillips was not attacked by the students of Covington Catholic High School. While media outlets around the nation tried to sell that story, the clear and unedited video proves this untrue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What is true, says &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt;, is that Phillips is a liar. &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/kerpen" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Phil Kerpen&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So why did media continue to push the lie that Phillips himself was attacked/accosted/insulted? And will any media correct the record? &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;Dem. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has the idea for a Green New Deal, in the mold of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal, that, in her words, will bring about racial and social justice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But, as National Review's Jim Geraghty points out, the "deal" cuts military spending in half and might put an end to non-electric cars.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jim speaks to Tony Katz about the details, and how dirty this "green" deal really is. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;On 60 Minutes, Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told Anderson Cooper that more important than getting the facts right on policy, is that the policy is "morally correct."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz explains how Cortez has opened herself up to an entirely new line of questioning. "Rep. Cortez has done a great job of avoiding criticism and making those who attack her look bad." says Tony. "But now, she's let all that go.  She doesn't care about facts, which is exactly the argument progressives make about President Trump. And she has asked people to question whether, morally, her Socialist policies have value; people get to question her morality. I don't think she realizes what she's done here." &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And why is President Trump not aiming for the head of Senator Mitt Romney after his op-ed in the Washington Post? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A man got stuck in a Burger King bathroom for an hour, and was offered free food. Did he really think it would last for life? And Apple is seeing a massive slowdown in the purchase of iPhones. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Women's March in Eureka, CA has been cancelled, because of too many white women. Tony Katz breaks down the progressive cannibalism that is the very concept of "wokeness."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sen. Elizabeth Warren is running for President. And Gov. Andrew Cuomo's inauguration speech shows that he's running as well. Unfortunately for him, the speech is just awful. Sen-Elect Mitt Romney takes President Trump's character to task. Unfortunately for him, his Washington Post op-ed doesn't do him any favors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LeBron James may be the best basketball player in the world, and he might be the best who ever played the game. But activist LeBron James has a lot to learn. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tucker Carlson of FOX News is facing boycotts for comments about illegal immigrants; more than nine sponsors have left the show. When MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski used a gay slur to describe Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, nothing happened. She gave a half-hearted apology, that didn't include Sec. Pompeo, and all was forgotten and forgiven.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Conservatives have to accept the fact that boycotts work." says Tony Katz. "And if the politcal right isn't willing to fight fire with fire, they'll continue to lose the culture war. Boycotts are awful, but doing nothing is worse."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Americans of all stripes understand that the Women's March leaders are proudly connected to antisemite Louis Farrakhan. Yet, Democrat Rep. Andre Carson continues to support him. &lt;/p&gt;

As Tony Katz notes, this is how you know that all the love given by media towards the late President George H.W. Bush is, unfortunately, affect and not affection.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;Then, Dunham blames men for making her lie. Tony's commentary is a must-hear and must-share. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz shares the story of singer and well-known leftist Barbra Streisand, who parroted former Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's refrain that Republican women vote the way their husbands or boyfriends tell them to. Streisand went a step further, arguing that GOP women were scared of Clinton's qualifications.&lt;/p&gt;

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

Progressives like former CNN commentator Sally Kohn thinks rocks being thrown are no big deal. Tony breaks down how the anti-Trump zealots try to excuse lies that have no excuse; rocks can kill and have killed, and everyone knows it.&lt;/p&gt;

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

Stoping "hate" or censoring speech? This leads to a personal conversation of depression and suicidal thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;Ohio Governor John Kasich is seriously considering running for the presidential nomination against President Trump.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA) wrote an op-ed at USA Today where he called for a mandatory gun buy-back on "assault weapons." In his headline, he also stated that America should go after, "resisters."&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;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.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Stormy Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti was arrested for domestic violence. Tony Katz is no fan; he thinks Avenatti is a liar and a jerk. However, allegations are nothing to cheer. They need to be investigated. So why are so many overjoyed that he was arrested? A woman may have been abused, or he may have been wrongly accused. "Investigation first," says Tony. "There are plenty of other reasons - proven reasons - to despise him."&lt;/p&gt;

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Florida recount is a mess. Why? Because it's not about a recount. It's about whether or not we count legal votes alone. Tony Katz can't believe he has to explain this to people, but here we are.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Midterms are a week away; who will win control? Well, according to Tony Katz, no one knows. It looks like the Republicans will keep the Senate, but the House is up for grabs. Perhaps the Kavanaugh Effect has worn off. Perhaps, with early voting, it was enough to hand Republicans control through 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;And what's all this about birthright citizenship? And what's all this about a rise in anti-Semitism in the US?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(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)&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

<p>White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responds firmly to ABC&#39;s Jon Karl and CNN&#39;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.</p>

<p>And what&#39;s all this about birthright citizenship? And what&#39;s all this about a rise in anti-Semitism in the US?</p>

<p><em>(NOTE - I made reference to the Volokh Conspiracy blog, and mentioned it moved from the Washington Post to 538.com to it&#39;s home at Reason.com. It was never at 538 Blog. I take full responsibility for the error. My apologies. - Tony)</em></p>]]>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz addresses the murder of eleven people in Pittsburgh by an anti-Semite who thought President Trump was controlled by Jews. Immediately, the murders have been politicized, with people blaming President Trump for creating a "toxic" environment. But what about the lives lost, and what about not losing more lives?&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Sen. Chuck Schumer just gave $3 million to the campaign of Robert Menendez in New Jersey. Tony Katz thinks we should take a long pause while digesting this information: Sen. Schumer had to put $3 million into a senate race in reliable Blue New Jersey, while Red State Democrats in Indiana, Wisconsin and Missouri - all tight races - have to do without.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Does that strike anyone else as, well, odd?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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!)&lt;/p&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>Sen. Chuck Schumer just gave $3 million to the campaign of Robert Menendez in New Jersey. Tony Katz thinks we should take a long pause while digesting this information: Sen. Schumer had to put $3 million into a senate race in reliable Blue New Jersey, while Red State Democrats in Indiana, Wisconsin and Missouri - all tight races - have to do without.</p>

<p>Does that strike anyone else as, well, odd?</p>

<p>First President Trump calls Stormy Daniels &quot;horseface.&quot; Now, she calls him &quot;tiny.&quot; 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!)</p>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;When will Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren stop lying about her non-existent Native American heritage? Tony Katz can't believe this story is still going on: everyone knows Warren lied about being connected to the Cherokee Nation. Now, after a Boston Globe story that showed she is possibly 1/1024th native American, she thinks she's vindicated!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cherokee Nation is very, very pissed.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

&lt;p&gt;"Is she really this naive?" asks Tony. "How did she ever live in New York with this kind of pollyanna thing she's got going on in this interview?"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Former Vice-President Joe Biden, campaigning for Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly, accuses the GOP of anti-Semitism. Tony exposes the falsehoods of his statements, and the reality of his own party. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, even Tony Katz can't say it as well as a clip from the cable networks can. Especially when it's CNN being so far removed from decency and reality. Like what? Like repeatedly claiming that liberals who surround cars of elderly men or who scream and Sen. Ted Cruz in a restaurant are not a mob. (They won't even call it a mob. Some refer to it as the "M-word." Really.)&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;And New York City now allows you to put "X" instead of male or female on your birth certificate. Yes.....really. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz breaks down what it means, and why everyone needs to calm down.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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?"&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz always says you should never put your faith in just one poll. When it comes to the latest information showing that Democrats enthusiasm for the midterms is waining, yet GOP enthusiasm is growing, Tony connects all the dots to spell out what the election might look like.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

<p>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&#39;s extremely partisan.</p>

<p>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.</p>]]>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Another day in the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation battle, and new information shows the testimony of Dr. Christine Ford may not be accurate. Specifically? She went into great detail about a second door being installed in the home; that it was done because she feels claustrophobic since her alleged incident with Kavanaugh. As it turns out, that door was installed in 2008, not 2012, and was most likely installed to accomodate a second business being run out of the home and not her "claustrophobia."&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;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? &lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz talks about the cold open from Saturday Night Live, where actor Matt Damon played the part of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. This, as Tony discussed, was a creepy pick, considering what Damon may have known about Harvey Weinstein and Casey Affleck.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

These mobs are not peaceful protesters, they are violent mobs and should be treated that way.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And bad news this Halloween. The sexy Handmaid's Tale costume is off the market. Luckily, sexy Hillary Clinton is still available. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz goes through the latest allegation, as printed by New Yorker magazine, that has a second woman claiming that SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh is guilty of sexual misconduct. However, everyone - including Democrats - knows the story is not true. The New York Times couldn't corroborate any of the statements, so they decided not to run the story.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Can we admit this is all a political hit job now?&lt;/p&gt;

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The latest on the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation is a mix of ugly politics and uglier politcs; lawyers for the accuser participating in fundraisers for Democrat Senators, Congressmen mocking Senators getting death threats. Total madness, and then some.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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?&lt;/p&gt;

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The allegation against SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh has become the Never-Ending Story, with more Progressives wanting delays and more Americans wanting either verification that something happened when Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford were teenagers...or they want him confirmed and this conversation over.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;And a GOP member of Congress wants all members of Congress to have random drug tests. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz has the latest on the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, including the news that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford will not testify unless there is an FBI investigation into her allegations. Unfortunately, that's not how any of this works.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;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?" &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;No more allegations have come out against SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh, but that hasn't stopped the chorus of Democrats who are demanding the confirmation hearing be delayed. As Tony Katz noted, that is what Democrats have wanted all along. Now, the question is will accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testify? Kavanaugh has already confirmed that he will appear in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. It has existed since President Trump was elected, and it went it to full effect when he was inaugurated. It became a condition that condoned violence when Rep. Maxine Waters suggested people get out of their cars, surround and push back against Trump White House members and, of course, Trump supporters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes, Trump Derangement Syndrome condones violence. And, as Tony Katz has noted, we have seen violence:&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;As Tony says, Trump Derangement Syndrome is very real. And the result of the syndrome is impossible to deny. &lt;/p&gt;

<li>PJ Media contributor DC McAllister was threatened with violence and rape, and went into hiding.</li>
<li>MSNBC&#39;s Joe Scarborough says President Trump is worse than Osama Bin Laden</li>

<p>As Tony says, Trump Derangement Syndrome is very real. And the result of the syndrome is impossible to deny.</p>]]>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz takes a look at the latest poorly-thought-out policy position from New York Gubernatiorial candidate Cynthia Nixon, who believes that New Yorkers would be better off with single-payer healthcare.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;Wait. Wut?&lt;/p&gt;

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz talks about the sad antics of Democratic Sen. Cory Booker during the confirmation hearing of SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Booker announced that he would release confidential emails - under risk of Senate explusion! - that show Kavanaugh talking about racial profiling.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"This is what happens when you hate Trump and believe your own hype!&lt;/em&gt;" said Tony. &lt;em&gt;"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?"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

&lt;p&gt;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. &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;The IRS came to a $3.5 million settlement with Tea Party groups they purposefully and wilfully held up from getting tax-exempt status. &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; thinks this is a good start, but it would be better if Lois Lerner and John Koskinen had to pay personally.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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?&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;Oh, and playing Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch is nearly impossible! &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;It's very obvious to &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/tonykatz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; that President Trump and the late Sen. John McCain did not like each other. So why now, after McCain's death, is everyone acting like it's a major issue?&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

But the press needs to take responsibility for the myriad of times they have lied, misspoke or ran stories that had to be corrected or retracted; all done to damage or disparage President Trump and his administration.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;"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&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

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

This leads &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; explains why you're better off with markets instead of more government. Oh, and the "living wage" is a total myth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Actor and director &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/tonykatz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Nick Searcy&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;

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

  <itunes:subtitle>The allegations of abuse against Rep. Keith Ellison would be front page news if he was a Republican. Over 100 newspapers are colluding to print editorials slamming him for claiming the media is the "enemy of the people." And here's the reason why people voted for Trump; he is saying what most of America has been feeling for a long time.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz questions why the allegations against Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison are not front page news? Yes, an investigation is needed. And no, Rep. Ellison shouldn't lose his job over allegations. But if he was a Republican, this would be the top story on every news network in America.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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?&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;President Trump has placed another round of sanctions on Russia for the assassination attempt of a former spy in the UK.

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

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

&lt;p&gt;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?&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;Seriously....who didn't know that? &lt;/p&gt;

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;In the newest twist in the Alex-Jones-Is-Banned saga, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has stated that Jones is not banned from their platform because he has "not violated" their terms of service.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But, as &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/tonykatz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; 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 &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/08/07/sen-chris-murphy-calls-for-more-silicon-valley-censorship-survival-our-democracy-depends-on-it.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;stated that banning Jones&lt;/a&gt; was just a beginning. Because, as he said it, "The future of our Democracy depends on it."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is the Democratic Party's logic: Save Democracy by silencing others.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&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;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;President Donald Trump has new sanctions for Iran, including the warning to the world that if you work with Iran you can't work with the United States. Tony Katz discusses the importance of remembering what kind of nation Iran is, and the big difference between its leadership and its people. &lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

There's just one problem with it....he didn't have the facts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Actor Peter Fonda, the same Peter Fonda who thought President Trump's son should be given to pedophiles to protest border separations, is now suggesting that parents vote for their millennial children. Said another way, Peter Fonda is advocating for voter fraud.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And, according to the web, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is the leader of the free world.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;LeBron said Trump was dividing the nation through sports, and is unwilling to even speak to him face to face. On Twitter, President Trump called him dumb, and says Michael Jordan is better.

Let's end this: LeBron's comments were rude and arrogant. Trump's tweet was nonsense. Can we focus on the important things now?

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The job numbers are out, and a record number of Americans are working. &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/tonykatzradio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Tony Katz&lt;/a&gt; explains that although the job numbers missed expectations, the economy is going strong. This has been felt by Hispanic and Latino Americans, as they are experiencing record low unemployment. This goes along &lt;a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2018/06/28/trumps_approval_rating_rises_among_hispanics_137382.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;with a theory&lt;/a&gt; that Hispanics and Latinos have a favorable opinion of President Donald Trump.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;And Tony expresses his love for Florida and James of Good Times. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Jimmy Kimmel had former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on his show this week, and Tony Katz is trying to understand why? It's not because Spicer is trying to sell his new book, The Briefing. It's because Kimmel, who hates President Trump, was hoping that someone he hated just a few years ago could be his temporary friend and say a few nasty things about the President.&lt;/p&gt;

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

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Twitter has decided to hire "academics" to look at so-called hate speech on their platform, to help weed it out to give users a more pleasurable experience. Tony Katz looks at what some people mean by hate speech, and explains why going down this rabbit hole ends well for no one. &lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;Also, Tony needs a dog. But which one? &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz questions the media's constant refrain that President Trump is putting journalists at risk. The New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger says he met with the President to tell him how he's endangering journalists when he calls them the "enemy of the people."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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!" &lt;/p&gt;

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