Tonight’s
live episode of The
Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT,
with re-airs three hours later) will spend multiple segments
talking about the latest developments
in Ferguson, and the myriad policy questions that the Michael
Brown shooting and subsequent police protests continue to
raise.
Kicking off the show are Party Panelists Jimmy Failla (cabby-turned
comedian) and Kevin
Williamson (National Review libertarian-leaner, author
of The
End Is Near and It’s Going to Be Awesome), who will talk
about President
Barack Obama’s comments and decision to dispatch Attorney
General Eric Holder today, bipartisan efforts to
demilitarize police, and the ongoing political divisions about
the case on both
right and left. Later in the show, the duo will discuss efforts
to
free up experimental drug tests for imminently life-threatening
diseases, and perhaps also the
bizarre legal troubles of Texas Gov. Rick Perry. How much
should the goings-on in Ferguson be seen through the prism of race?
Fox News contributor Santita
Jackson will be on, and I’m guessing she’ll have a different
take on the subject than Kmele
Foster.
The other main topic of the president’s mini-press conference
today was our latest
war-like activities in Iraq, which Daily Beast
national security reporter Eli Lake will come on to discuss.
Andrea Tantaros, co-host of the Fox News shows
Outnumbered and The Five, will talk about what
gets her fired up in the news cycle. And I’ll riff a bit about
persecuted New York Times reporter James Risen calling
Obama “the
greatest enemy to press freedom in a generation.”
