Tonight on The Independents: A Very Special Presidents' Day Episode

It’s February 14, so tonight’s
episode of The Independents is devoted to love and romance the
presidents of the U.S.A. Starting at 9 eastern on the Fox Business
Network, your hosts Kennedy, Kmele Foster, and special guest anchor
Michael C. Moynihan—sitting in for Reason‘s Matt Welch,
who’s out cruising—will
spend an hour discussing the nation’s chief executives with an
assortment of interviewees, including:

• Historian
Thaddeus Russell, author of
A Renegade History of the United States, who makes the
case against the Founding Fathers.

• Judge Andrew Napolitano, author of
too many books to list here, who makes the case against Abe
Lincoln.

• Former Secret Service man Dan Bongino, author of
Life Inside the Bubble, who talks about threats
against the president, drunk guys writing dumb stuff on Twitter,
and what Kmele Foster’s Secret Service code name should be.

• Coolidge biographer Amity
Shlaes, author of Coolidge,
who talks about Coolidge. (And also about Hoover and FDR.)

• Reason‘s own Jesse Walker, author of this very blog
post, who talks about
paranoid presidents and fictional presidents.

• Gene Healy, author of
The Cult of the Presidency, who talks about the
dangers of executive reverence and executive power.

Plus presidential trivia, presidential myths, and everything
else you need for an all-around presidential spectacular. That’s
The Independents, coming your way on the Fox
Business Network at 9 o’clock tonight.
