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 include a trademark mix of
talk about scary subjects, mixed with deep skepticism about same
(particularly of government reaction toward them).
The conversation starts with Kobani, the Syrian Kurdish border
town that has been on the verge of Islamic State takeover for the
last 30 hours, though increased U.S. bombing has reportedly

senior editor) and Joe DeVito (comedian),
who will also tackle Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s latest
American Enterprise Institute-pleasing call for pinning
military spending to 4% of GDP (hey, it worked for Mitt Romney,

recent
Vanity Fair cover and quote about her hacked nudie photos
being a “sex

Cato Institute Vice President for Defense and Foreign Policy
Studies Christopher Preble (read his Reason archive

argue just how wrong Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen.
Martin Dempsey has been when repeatedly insisting that we are
living in the most “dangerous” era
of recent times. Dr. Eugene Seymour
of the nanomedicine company
NanoViricides, will report on the latest medical developments
in the fight against Ebola. Foundation for Individual Rights in
Education President Greg
Lukianoff will talk about his new mini-book, Freedom From
Speech. And Kmele Foster will detail the latest sadly
predictable news about the Georgia cops who
will not face criminal charges after
flash-grenading off part of a 19-month-old’s face.
And Kennedy will be back with her latest demonstration of Dumb
Laws. Here’s a taste:
