A University of Louisville study has shown that there is no correlation between COVID and not wearing a mask. New studies have been coming out showing that there is virtually no difference between wearing and not wearing a mask. Phil Kerpen joins Tony Katz to explain this latest study and what this means for mask mandates
LeBron James really can do whatever he wants. The Lakers star is widely regarded as the most influential person in the NBA. This thesis has been proven yet again, after James violated the NBA’s health and safety protocols and will face no repercussions. Any other NBA player would have been forced to sit out; not LeBron James. Tony Katz examines how James hasn’t used his leadership and influence to make a real difference.

If you have been following the reviews of Dave Chapelle’s new Netflix stand-up special ‘Sticks and Stones,’ you know that the media is already tearing it apart. The people at Vice say you can skip watching it and that it, “doubles down on misogyny and transphobia.” Paste Magazine called it, “boring, hypocritical and out-of-touch.” The Root calls it lazy. With reviews like that, you know you have to watch
Why is it that The Woke scolds are so opposed to it? Can you not engage in comedy about misogyny and transphobia? (Or is it only jokes about President Trump and Christians that are still allowed?) I thought that’s what comedy does – pointed out, poked at and prodded at the powerful, the pathetic and particular moments in society.
I hold stand-up in high regard, starting with people like Lenny Bruce and Mort Saul. It’s not that they were the funniest (always a debate,) but rather I am enamored with their presentation. These days, I feel the same way about Seinfeld (his honesty has been refreshing) and Joe Rogan (check out his Netflix specialwhere he plays out the inner monologue of Caitlyn Jenner while perched atop a bar stool. Amazing.)
I don’t find everything Dave Chapelle says to be funny. But I appreciate that Dave Chapelle is trying to do something that most other comedians aren’t doing: pulling out his and our inner demons and putting them in front of us, hopefully for us all to share a laugh over, whether it be nervously or in recognition of the truth in the existence of the demon. (Watch The Bird Revelation on Netflix.)
In his special, Chapelle asks the audience to identify the subject of an impression he does of a stupid person that seeks to destroy people over a disagreement. NOTE – Not Safe For Work:
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has retired. At 29. With millions in the bank. He says the injuries have gotten to him, and he is ‘mentally worn down.’ Many people are mentally worn down, but don’t have the luxury of big bank account to stop working. How will his answer be taken by fans, and the NFL?

Democrats are fighting among themselves, and all you need to do is sit back and watch the show.
Tony gives the background on the fight between Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and how bad this can be for the party going into an election season.
The ice-cream licking copycats have now graduated to swigging Listerine, spitting it back into the bottle and putting it back on the shelf. Tony wants her to get all the jail time. Fingers wants to know if it was all an act to get clicks.
I made a mistake: Pelosi and Cortez are not battling for the soul of the Democratic party.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are both Progressives; hard-edged and hard core. Their socialist dream is shared between themselves, as it is with millions of activists.
More government. More control. More so-called equality. Less people being able to say out loud that the world envisioned by them is awful.
I realized my mistake when I said it on FOX News. In a conversation with Leland Vittert, referencing a column in the New York Times from Maureen Dowd, I said that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Speaker Pelosi were locked in a battle for the soul of the party. I should have said that it was a battle for control of the party.

According to multiple sources, “white Twitter” is in uproar because a black woman has been cast as Ariel in the live-action version of “The Little Mermaid.” Unfortunately, the sources don’t have it right. But it shows exactly how media uses social media to move their narrative.
Ummm…what in the world is “white Twitter?”
