It’s Monday night, which means
The
Independents is backatcha live at 9 pm ET, 6 pm PT on Fox
Business Network (with a midnight-hour repeat), injecting some hot
buttered libertarian weirdness into the cable-news slipstream.
Tonight’s show begins where
Friday’s Super Bowl
episode left
off—with Super Bowl commercials, particularly the two that have
generated the most (and most pointless) political controversy:
Bob Dylan’s Chrysler stunt, and Coca-Cola’s
multilingual rendition of “America the
Beautiful.” Commenting on these, as well as on
Philip Seymour Hoffman’s heroin overdose and the recent
confessions-of-a-TSA-snooper essay in Politico, will
be Wall Street lawyer-turned comedian Paul Mecurio, and criminal
defense attorney-slash-TV commentator Remi Spencer.
Then joining the show for a couple of segments will be former
congressman, recent New York mayoral loser and two-time sexting
scandal protagonist
Anthony Weiner, who is slated to discuss (among other things)
Washington’s latest
debt ceiling fight, President Barack Obama’s
combative interview with Fox host Bill O’Reilly, and the
rather remarkable confession that Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.)
made last week during his confirmation hearing to be America’s next
ambassador to China.
Michael Malice, author of a
new unauthorized biography of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il
titled
Dear Reader (as well as of a great 2013 Reason
feature “My
Week in North Korea“), will be on to talk about the horrors of
the Hermit Kingdom. And the “Keeping it Kmele” segment tonight will
use Janet Yellen’s
first day on the job as Fed chief to take a closer look at the
Federal Reserve. Other topics that may come up on the show include
Joe
Namath‘s
sartorial awesomeness, the post-game show’s
9/11 truther,
Bill de Blasio’s groundhog (not a euphemism), and
beer drones.
There will be a live-stream after-show available on the website,
and as always, send your tweets out to @IndependentsFBN; some
may be used on air.
