On the show today we get into a number of hot topics, including: the failure of the Senate to agree to any funding bill to reopen the government, the continued media hit-job on the Covington Catholic High School students and their protection of activist and stolen valor fraud Nathan Phillips, and the news that CNN's Jim Acosta is writing a book. Plus, in the Friday video interview edition of the podcast, we interview John Lott, president and founder of the Crime Prevention Research Center, on how the founder and CEO of BuzzFeed once stole his identity in an attempt to use his name to influence public policy. It's an amazing story you have to hear to believe, and it's included in the audio version of the podcast and available as a stand alone video.

Both the Republican and Democratic bills to reopen the government failed Thursday in the Senate, which leaves us right where we were before the votes were held. Is there anyway to end this mess? Will Democrats ever be willing to negotiate? Will Republicans ultimately cave? We get into all of it, and mock it along the way because Washington, D.C., is basically high school with paychecks.

Speaking of high school, the kids from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky are still under attack from liberals and the media continues its defense of Nathan Phillips, who lied about being a Vietnam veteran. Phillips received a more of a Nerf ball interview than a softball interview from NBC News, in which they ignored his stolen valor past, preferring to gush over the activist who spent the week lying about children. Meanwhile, the family of Nick Sandmann, the kid Phillips directly confronted in the video, has hired one of the nation's preeminent lawyers when it comes to defamation lawsuits against media outlets. Things are about to get more interesting.

And Jim Acosta is writing a book, which is not a coloring book. It's called, "The Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time to Tell the Truth in America." If it indeed is a dangerous time to tell the truth in America, Acosta should be perfectly safe.

Plus, the interview with John Lott, the nation's foremost expert on the Second Amendment and gun laws in the country. In 2003, the founder and CEO of BuzzFeed created a fake website and email address so he could pretend to be Lott in an attempt to influence the gun control debate. It's a truly amazing story that only ended after a long legal battle, but it lets you know where BuzzFeed gets its disinterest in truth.

Stolen valor, plain and simple

On today's show, we expose Nathan Phillips as a liar. The Washington Post wrote a long piece about how the liberal Native American activist never claimed to have served in Vietnam, but a newly unearthed video shows him doing just that and we play it for you. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi canceled the State of the Union address to avoid the president highlighting "angel families" on a national stage. And while the liberal media is attacking high school students for being white and liking the president, there is actually racism happening at the University of Georgia no one is paying attention to. All that and more on today's show.

Nancy Pelosi called off the State of the Union address by blocking a vote in the House that would allow it. She's afraid of giving the president another national platform to make the case for a border wall. But mostly she's afraid the president would highlight angel families, Americans who've lost loved ones to illegal aliens. The media and Pelosi have ignored these people, but if the president were to tell their stories on national television while they watched from the gallery with the first lady, it could cause Democrats to lose support. It's a risk Pelosi can't afford to take.

As the media smear campaign against the Covington Catholic High School kids continues, so does their attempts to defend Native American activist Nathan Phillips. The Washington Post wrote a long piece proclaiming Phillips has never claimed to have been a Vietnam veteran, which he is not, and that reports to the contrary were simply a misunderstanding. It turns out, however, that Phillips has claimed to be a Vietnam veteran. Here he is doing just that.

Liberal activist Nathan Phillips enjoys telling wild stories

On Wednesday's show, we examine "Native American Elder" Nathan Phillips' background, something the media decidedly did not do when they smeared innocent high school students with his allegations of racism. The audio we found will shock you; that no journalist bothered to look it up before taking his word as gospel likely won't. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn't like billionaires because she hates capitalism, and cracks are starting to form in the Democratic Party over the concept of a wall. All this and more on today's show, don't miss it.

He's made wild accusations to the media in the past, and we have the audio of liberal activist Nathan Phillips doing just that in 2015. As his story continues to change, he's using the same model: tell a wild story, media reports it without question, there is no proof. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, working hard to bring the spirit of Venezuela to the United States, has a problem with billionaires. Not liberal billionaires, but pretty much every other kind of billionaire. It's immoral that they exist, she says, while people are still impacted by the scourge of ... topical fungal infections. We have the audio and it's every bit as crazy as it seems.

Are Democrats in the House starting to crack on the shutdown? We have some evidence that the party might be and we play you the audio to make the case.
