A Requiem for Ted Turner

from RealClearPolitics Podcast · host RealClear Media

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the passing of CNN founder Ted Turner today at the age of 87. Also, they look at yesterday’s election results in Indiana where at least five GOP state lawmakers who opposed President Trump’s redistricting plans were defeated by Trump-backed challengers. And they have a discussion about billionaire Ken Griffin, who talked yesterday about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s efforts to increase taxes on the wealthy. Next, James Freeman of The Wall Street Journal joins the guys to discuss his latest “Best of the Web” column on the future of former Vice President Kamala Harris and why she has not endorsed a candidate in California’s gubernatorial primary. And, they take a look at last night’s California’s gubernatorial candidate debate. Then, they discuss a decision by an Arlington, VA prosecutor not to pursue criminal charges against the woman who distributed leaflets disclosing the address of White House aide Stephen Miller’s family, citing the woman’s freedom of speech. And finally, they chat about Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers being the State Department’s new “free speech warrior,” according to a new profile in The Free Press.
