Final Hours of Freedom Watch: Panel on U.S. foreign policy

Nashville Libertarian Examiner
In the final hours of his now-defunct Fox Business show Freedom Watch, host Judge Andrew P. Napolitano held a panel on U.S. foreign policy featuring retired Army Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer (also author of Operation Dark Heart), retired Army Col. (and political philosopher) Douglas Macgregor, and freedom fighter regular Malou Innocent (foreign policy analyst for the Cato Institute).
Judge Nap and his freedom fighters discussed the role of America’s military might, implementing the same failed military policies time and again, cutting the defense budget, the indiscriminate use of drones, building bases in Australia, false fears over China, the ‘just war’ argument, unconstitutional intervention in Libya and its costs, the supposed Iranian threat (not ignoring the fact that we have them completely boxed in), and Yemen.

With such legal, military, and foreign policy expertise flying around, Napster and the freedom fighters made for quite the poignant discussion (the entire video is 15:41 and well worth watching).
War is the health of the state. As James Madison put it in 1795:
Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes … known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.
Libertarians believe in the health of the individual. It’s a policy of talk, trade, commerce, respect, peace and prosperity. Judge Nap echoed those themes (and more) on a nightly basis and will continue to do so regardless of whatever venue Fox places him in. Unfortunately for Freedom Watch, its requiescat in pace.

Andrew Paolo Napolitano (born June 6, 1950) is a former New Jersey Superior Court Judge. He is a political and legal analyst for Fox News Channel, commenting on legal news and trials. Napolitano started on the channel in 1998.

Contents

[hide]

[edit] Early life, judicial and academic career

Napolitano was born in Newark, New Jersey. He is a graduate of Princeton University (he was a founding member of the Concerned Alumni of Princeton[1]) and Notre Dame Law School. Napolitano sat on the New Jersey bench from 1987 to 1995, becoming the state’s youngest then-sitting Superior Court judge. He also served as an adjunct professor at Seton Hall University School of Law for 11 years. Napolitano resigned his judgeship in 1995 to pursue his writing and television career.

[edit] Media career

Prior to joining Fox as a news analyst, Napolitano was the presiding judge on the television show, Power of Attorney, in which people brought small-claims disputes to a televised courtroom. Differing from similar formats, the plaintiffs and defendants were represented “pro bono” by famous attorneys. The show ran in syndication during the 2000–2001 season.
From 2006 to 2010, Napolitano co-hosted a talk radio show on Fox News Radio with Brian Kilmeade titled Brian and the Judge.
Napolitano hosted a libertarian talk show called Freedom Watch that aired daily, with new episodes on weekdays, on Fox Business Channel.[2] Frequent guests on Freedom Watch were Congressman Ron Paul, economist Peter Schiff, and Lew Rockwell. Napolitano has called himself the “Ayn Rand of Fox News” and has also promoted the works of Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman and Ludwig von Mises on his program. The show originally aired once a week on Wednesdays at 2:00 pm on Fox News’ Strategy Room. On September 14, 2009 it became a show that airs three to four times a week. On June 12, 2010 it debuted as a weekly show on Fox Business.
Napolitano regularly substituted for television host Glenn Beck when Beck was absent from his program. After Beck announced he would be leaving Fox News, he asked Napolitano to replace him.[3]
He also hosted the talk show Freedom Watch on Fox Business Channel, from 2009 until it was dropped along with several programs in February 2012 when FBC revamped its entire primetime lineup.[4]

[edit] Writing career

In 2004, Napolitano wrote the book, Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the Government Breaks its Own Laws, a criticism of the American justice system. In the National Review, former federal prosecutor and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies[5] Andrew McCarthy noted that Napolitano had been a mid-level state judge and questioned Napolitano’s knowledge of the federal Constitution, citing what according to McCarthy were numerous errors in Napolitano’s writing on the subject.[6]
In 2006, his second book, The Constitution in Exile: How the Federal Government Has Seized Power by Rewriting the Supreme Law of the Land was published.
A third book, A Nation of Sheep, was released in October 2007.
In April 2009, Napolitano’s fourth book, Dred Scott’s Revenge: A Legal History of Race and Freedom in America, was released.
In March, 2010, Napolitano’s fifth book was released: Lies the Government Told You: Myth, Power, and Deception in American History.
In October, 2011, Napolitano’s sixth book was released: It is Dangerous to be Right When the Government is Wrong: The Case for Personal Freedom.

[edit] Politics

Napolitano is a pro-life libertarian, more commonly known as libertarian conservatism.[7]
Napolitano has called consumer advocate and frequent presidential candidate Ralph Nader a hero of his.[8]
Napolitano believes that the 9/11 incidents including the subsequent collapse of the World Trade Tower buildings in New York City did not take place as the US government has publicly communicated. “It’s “hard for me to believe that” World Trade Center building 7 “came down by itself,” said Napolitano, “twenty years from now, people will look at 9-11 the way we look at the assassination of JFK today. It couldn’t possibly have been done the way the government told us.”[9]

[edit] Personal

Napolitano splits his time living in Manhattan and Sussex County, New Jersey where he owns a farm that produces maple syrup.[10]
Napolitano is not related to U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, whom he sometimes jokingly calls “Cousin Janet.”[citation needed]

Alito ’72 joined conservative alumni group

Concerned Alumni of Princeton known to be anti-coeducation
By Chanakya Sethi
Senior Writer
Print article Email article Respond to article
Published: Friday, November 18th, 2005
Clarification appended
Earlier this week, recently released documents drew attention for showing that, in a 1985 job application, Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito ’72 wrote that he is “particularly proud” of his work on cases arguing that “racial and ethnic quotas should not be allowed and that the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion.”
Now, opponents to his nomination are using another piece of information from those documents to suggest he is far outside the mainstream in his political and social views: Near the end of his “Personal Qualifications Statement” for a high-level job in Ronald Reagan’s Justice Department, Alito wrote that he was “a member of the Concerned Alumni of Princeton University, a conservative alumni group.”
Interviews with several alumni who were students in the 1970s paint a picture of Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP) as a far-right organization funded by conservative alumni committed to turning back the clock on coeducation at the University.
The group, which published a magazine in which students wrote nostalgically about the days before coeducation, was frowned upon by Nassau Hall. Some alumni expressed surprise at Alito’s association with CAP, but at least two suggested he might have put it on the 1985 job application to appeal to a personal connection in the Reagan administration.

See all of the ‘Prince’ coverage of the Alito nomination here.

The only CAP member who could be reached by The Daily Princetonian, Alito supporter and former New Jersey Superior Court judge Andrew Napolitano ’72, defended the group, saying that there is “absolutely no way” it sought to protest coeducation.
The organization, Napolitano said, was committed instead to increasing alumni involvement in Princeton and tempering “the University’s anti-traditionalist leftist urges” at a sensitive time in history when the majority of students and faculty were opposed to the Nixon administration’s policies, particularly the Vietnam War.
Napolitano said he never associated himself with any individual’s anti-coeducation stance, adding that “Sam Alito would never associate himself with that” either.
Also, Napolitano, who served on CAP’s board from its founding in 1972 until it shut down in the early 1980s, said that he has “zero recollection of Sam Alito being involved directly or indirectly” with the group.
But Marsha Levy-Warren ’73, who was a member of the University’s first coeducational class and student government vice president, remembers things differently. In an interview Thursday evening, she recalled Alito, Napolitano and T. Harding Jones ’72, another CAP member, as “part of a group of extremely conservative undergraduates.”
Though Levy-Warren did not recall Alito being involved with CAP as an undergraduate, she said the group “stated explicitly that they were not in favor of coeducation and that they weren’t in favor of affirmative action. Implicitly, they were opposed to any form of diversity on campus.”
The group’s magazine, “Prospect,” seems to support this assessment. Writing in the February 1973 issue of the magazine about the increasing number of women on campus, Jones, who served as editor of the publication, wrote: “The makeup of the Princeton student body has changed drastically for the worse.”
He could not be reached for comment.
“Prospect” was founded in October 1972 by the then-newly-formed CAP, which was co-chaired by Asa Bushnell ’21 and Shelby Cullom Davis ’30. The latter, who was the University’s largest donor at the time, was a strong traditionalist, firmly opposed to the many of the new directions Princeton was taking, including coeducation.
He wrote in “Prospect”: “May I recall, and with some nostalgia, my father’s 50th reunion, a body of men, relatively homogenous in interests and backgrounds, who had known and liked each other over the years during which they had contributed much in spirit and substance to the greatness of Princeton,” according to an account in “The Chosen,” a book by Jerome Karabel on the history of admissions at Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
“I cannot envisage a similar happening in the future,” Davis added, “with an undergraduate student population of approximately 40% women and minorities, such as the Administration has proposed.”
The first issues of “Prospect” ostensibly did not receive a warm reception, particularly from Nassau Hall, which viewed the magazine and its group sponsor as a barrier to the progressive agenda of President William Bowen GS ’58 and the University trustees. Princeton officials were quoted criticizing the publication in the ‘Prince,’ Princeton Alumni Weekly and The New York Times.
Former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley ’65, who served on the alumni advisory board of “Prospect,” also created a stir when he quit the publication abruptly after its second issue, saying in the ‘Prince’ that the magazine was “filled with innuendo and unsupported allegations” about the University.

Surprise association for some

Several alumni expressed surprise when they learned that Alito associated with Davis and CAP.
“We all thought of [CAP] as the crinkly old alums,” said Mark Dwyer ’72, a friend of Alito’s and his roommate when both of them were studying at Yale Law. “But they seemed a little far enough from the mainstream that I didn’t know anybody who had much to do with them.”
Diane Weeks ’75, a vocal critic of CAP financier Davis and a colleague of Alito’s when he was U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, did not expect Alito to publicly associate himself with the group. “I’m very surprised that he would support such an organization,” Weeks said, but added, “I once joked to him that he must be very disappointed that women were admitted to Princeton and he just didn’t have a response.”
Some alumni have suggested, however, that Alito’s association with CAP may not be exclusively about politics, but also about networking for the job market.
“Probably the most cynical view was that undergraduates [who were members of CAP] wanted to ingratiate themselves so that they had good summer jobs,” Lee Kaplan ’73 said. “Other people thought that they were truly committed individuals who were swimming against the prevailing political tide.”
A possible networking connection involves Terry Eastland, who served in the Justice Department during the Reagan administration and was involved with CAP, according to two people familiar with the group who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue.
“That would have been a good connection for Sam,” one of the individuals said.
Indeed, the mention of CAP seems out of place on a resume that discussed Alito’s involvement with more prominent organizations such as the Federalist Society, a group of conservative lawyers, and the National Review and American Spectator, two national conservative publications.
Asked about his former roommate’s possible intentions, Dwyer said, “I’m sure Sam had something in mind. He wouldn’t have put that in his job application if he didn’t have a connection.”
Regardless, some alumni say Alito’s association with CAP should factor into the nominee’s pending hearings before the Senate.
“I don’t know about his involvement in CAP,” said Sally Franks ’80, who sued several Prospect Avenue eating clubs for denying women membership. “But I know about CAP and what kind of an organization CAP was in the late 70s and the early 80s and how reprehensible and scary it is that someone trying to be on the Supreme Court would have touted his membership in a job application.”
Weeks, Alito’s former colleague said: “I think now he has completely opened up the issue about what is your current opinion about abortion, about the rights of women and minorities … as opposed to [recent nominee and Supreme Court Chief Justice John] Roberts, Sam’s going to have to answer those questions.”
Indeed for some interviewed, the revelation about Alito’s association with CAP has already negatively affected their perceptions of him.
“It did rearrange my view of him a little bit because these people seemed so rabid and out of control,” Abigail Bok ’76 said. “This wasn’t a serious debate about what Princeton should be like, as far as we could tell. It was just people snarling extremist views and yapping around the edges.”

Clarification and editor’s note

The original version of this article did not clearly identify Marsha Levy-Warren’s quote regarding Concerned Alumni of Princeton’s stance on coeducation and affirmative action as relating to the organization specifically. Also, this article reflects updates not in the paper’s print edition.

Fox Business Network Cancels Entire Primetime Lineup

Fox Business Network announced a drastic shakeup of its programming on Thursday, cancelling all of its primetime shows and replacing them with reruns.
The network has long trailed its major business news rival, CNBC, in the ratings. On Wednesday, for instance, FBN drew just 64,000 total viewers. CNBC drew 187,000. For all of 2011, the gap was even wider: 54,000 versus 228,000.
However, the suddenness of the moves was still surprising. “FreedomWatch with Judge Andrew Napolitano,” “Power & Money with David Asman” and “Follow the Money with Eric Bolling” were all canceled. Napolitano and Bolling have become well-known faces outside of FBN, and Bolling is a co-host of “The Five” on Fox News. All three hosts will continue as contributors to both Fox News and FBN.
Replacing the shows are repeats of “The Willis Report,” “Cavuto” and “Lou Dobbs Tonight.” Gerri Willis, who currently hosts her self-titled show at 5 PM, will eventually have her program moved to 8 PM. A new show starring Melissa Francis will take the 5 PM slot.
In an interview with Adweek on Tuesday, Neil Cavuto, who is a senior vice president as well as an anchor at FBN, addressed the network’s low ratings.
“We’re barely four years into this,” he said. “You gotta keep in mind that [our] competitors have been doing this close to a quarter of a century. I remember Fox News starting out with the same feeling. I don’t know what the magic moment will be, but I do know that when people have been exposed to Fox Business, invariably, they’re drawn to us.”
Napolitano responded to the news on Twitter:

People have to understand that other Business sites have been giving very good news and analysis of business for years. People aren’t that much in to Fox. Real listeners know how Fox manipulate­s messages. So they are sticking with the tried and true and real news. Lets’ Fox out.

Reruns of business shows? Isn’t that like reruns of the farm report? Seriously? Might as well show cartoons. Unless they have a catalogue of particular­ly spectacula­r shows of FOX sucking up to WS. Hey, play that old Beck when he said he’d rather sell is soul to JP Morgan than China. Ha ha! They sliced diced and rebundled that soul, sold it to China and then JP Morgan bet against it.

Napolitano was nothing like other Fox hosts. He championed freedom, an end to the patriot act and the drug war and went wherever the truth took him….hen­ce he was canceled. Then they canceled others only after.

Fox News is always bragging about ratings and bashing CNN and MSNBC for their lower ratings but I doubt they will even mention this change at their business channel.

Media consolidat­ion and their growing monopoly of Broadcasti­ng markets has given us little choice for what news we get.
With the help of Clinton’s 96 Telecommun­ications Act – under the guise of increased competitio­n – broadcaste­rs consolidat­ed and led us from having 50 media companies in the 1980s to the 6 Media Conglomera­tes we have today.
People want news, if they don’t have cable, they will be watching Fox news.

The Born-Again Individualist

Fox News Channel’s Judge Andrew Napolitano on lying cops, out-of-control government, and his bestselling new book, Constitutional Chaos.

from the March 2005 issue
(Page 4 of 6)
[The FDR era] began, in my view, the dark part of American history where the federal government believed that it could solve any problem that was national in scope, irrespective of whether it was a federal problem. A federal problem is one arising under the 18 specific enumerated powers given to the federal government under the Constitution. A national problem is something that exists in New Jersey and California and Texas and Illinois. But just because it’s national doesn’t mean it’s federal and therefore can be addressed by the federal government.
Reason: You contrast natural law with positivism, which you defined as pure democracy, and you said the Constitution reflects a natural law mind-set. Yet under the Constitution, we can repeal the First Amendment. As a natural law advocate, you would not feel compelled to follow that law, would you?
Napolitano: Correct.
Reason: So this helps to explain why you dedicate your book to Thomas More.
Napolitano: I dedicate the book to St. Thomas More and cite the most frequently quoted passage from A Man for All Seasons. More is basically saying everyone is entitled to due process, rights are not discretionary; and his son-in-law challenges him, saying, what about the rights of the devil? And More says, I would give the devil his due because when they come after me, I want them to give me my due. Every human is entitled to the protection of the law.
Reason: You said we entered a dark period in American history.
Napolitano: We did in 1932.
Reason: But wouldn’t you agree that if we’re talking about freedom of expression, people are much freer to express themselves now than they were in 1932? With or without the PATRIOT Act. For cultural and technological reasons, you can say whatever you want in a wider variety of contexts. You can disseminate information and points of view today that were unimaginable in 1932, a year in which you couldn’t even legally publish Ulysses or Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Something similar goes for lifestyle, too, and other parts of society.
Napolitano: In terms of the government control of our lives, in terms of the percentage of our income that the government takes from us, in terms of the types and the areas of human behavior we let the government regulate, we are infinitely less free. And as Jefferson once said, it is in the natural order of things that the government should be greater and human
liberty lesser.
Women have much more freedom. African Americans have much more freedom. Gays have much more freedom. The discrimination that was rampant, and often caused by the government, 40 or 50 or 60 years ago–there’s been progress in those areas. But the destruction of federalism, the centralization of power in Washington, the belief that Washington can regulate all aspects of our lives will, if not checked, lead us to a totalitarian form of government. Freedom is the power and ability to obey your own free will and conscience rather than the free wills and consciences of others.
Reason: You said abortion is murder. Should it be regulated by the state or should it be prohibited by the state?
Napolitano: Absolutely it should be prohibited, just the way all unjust killings are prohibited.
Reason: Should doctors go to prison as murderers?
Napolitano: Yes.
Reason: First-degree murder?
