Tonight’s live episode of The
Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT,
repeats three hours later) will feature a Party Panel of Washington Free
Beacon staff writer Lachlan Markay and
Newsday columnist Ellis Henican, who will argue
about most of the following topics:
* President Barack Obama’s
big foreign policy commencement address today at West Point,
during which he
slayed more strawmen than a pyromaniac, implied that the “drone
strikes like those we’ve carried out in Yemen and Somalia” only
come “when we face a continuing, imminent threat, and only where
there is no certainty—there is near certainty of no civilian
casualties,” and gave ammunition to just about everybody who does
not appreciate his foreign policy.
* Edward Snowden’s
revelatory NBC interview, and reactions thereof.
* Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s idea to
require videotaping of gun sales.
* Adam Sandler’s allegedly
racially offensive new movie.
Rep.
Jared Polis (D-Colo.), no stranger to either
The Independents or
Reason, then comes on again to discuss
The Email Privacy Act, which he has co-sponsored with Reps.
Kevin Yoder (R-Kans.) and Tom Graves (R-Ga.), which would require
law enforcement to obtain a warrant before scrounging through the
six-month-old emails of private citizens. Darin Selnick of
Concerned Veterans for America will be on to talk about the
damning report released today by the V.A. Inspector General.
The co-hosts will have plenty to say about New York Mayor Bill de
Blasio’s
attempt to repeal the city’s notorious ferret
ban. And did you hear the one about White House officials
seeking extra redactions in that drone memo Sen. Rand Paul
(R-Ky.) helped pry out of their reluctant hands? Of course you
didn’t: because
David Barron is already safely confirmed, thanks to the Senate
votes of alleged civil libertarians who were bought off with the
promise of full disclosure.
