Did
you ever want to see what a cable news show would like with a
Reason editor as the host? Well, regardless of that,
tonight’s episode of The
Independents (Fox Business Network 9 pm ET, 6 pm PT;
repeats three hours later), is notable for the absence of main host
Kennedy, who’s
on the emergency DL with an unspeakable disease of some sort.
However, keeping with the
Wednesday tradition, tonight’s episode will serve up quivering,
bloody hunks of libertarian red meat.
For instance: The WWE wrestler known as Kane (real name Glenn Jacobs)
talks about how writers like Murray Rothbard led him down the
path to
libertarianism, and how the limited-government message
resonates with the independent contractors that populate his
industry. Speaking of Glenns, Mr. Greenwald joins the fray for
two segments at the top, to talk about the British government’s
online reputation-destroying system, his approach in publishing
Edward Snowden secrets, whether he truly fears coming to New York
in April, and whether he is now or has ever been friendly with
libertarians. Also, beloved Reasoner Nick Gillespie talks about
what President Barack Obama’s budget tells us about the
near-term prospects for entitlement reform.
Panelists Dagen McDowell (Fox News
correspondent) and Tom
Shillue (comedian, tall person, harmonizer) talk about real man of genius Joe Biden,
particularly his comments about Obamacare bringing “freedom” to
single moms with bad jobs. The duo also weigh in on the president’s
truly
awful $300 billion+ transportation proposal.
There will be no earrings to critique tonight, just sadly
neglected earring-holes. Nevertheless, send your tweets to @IndependentsFBN, use
the hashtag #indFBN, and otherwise
keep the sartorial critiques right here on this comments
thread!
In the agonizing minutes between now and then, enjoy first last
night’s fascinating discussion about the Arizona discrimination
bill that was vetoed by Gov. Jan Brewer just tonight:
… and also an Independents interview from earlier
this week with former Federal Communications Commissioner Robert
McDowell:
