Tonight’s episode of The
Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT,
repeats three hours later) will lead with some debate on a subject
that makes my heart sink:
sick-bastard Elliot Rodger’s murder of six people in Isla
Vista, California, the congenial beachside slum I called home for
three years a long time ago. Joining to discuss the gun-control
aspects of the story is none other than beloved Reason Senior
Editor Jacob
Sullum, whose column tomorrow on the subject is a must-read for
those who prefer concrete discussion about gun policy over
belligerent assertions about the
National Rifle Association’s culpability. Also on hand to work
through this latest mass killing are conservative commentator
Kayleigh McEnany and
former GOP presidential hope-beyond-hopeful Thaddeus McCotter.
McCotter is then back for a solo spot talking about two strands
of news from Afghanistan: President Barack Obama’s announcement
that the 13+-year Afghan war is
coming to a close despite the continuing presence of U.S.
troops, and the White House’s
outing of a CIA station chief there. Later in the show McEnany
is back with comedian Dan
St. Germain to talk about Glenn Greenwald’s latest
bombshell threat and Chuck Schumer’s recent brainfarts about
jacking up the
War on Heroin and cracking down on
booze-slushies. Institute for Justice Senior Attorney Robert McNamara will talk about
the outrageous case of Atlantic City seeking to
seize a private home in order to maybe someday benefit a local
casino. And our own Kmele
Foster will share his thoughts on that extraordinarily long
Atlantic cover story, “The
Case for Reparations.”
Will there be an after-show? Does the Pope talk about the
