The Free Press Live: August 8, 2024
For our first official live show, co-hosts Michael Moynihan and Batya Ungar-Sargon sat down with Coleman Hughes and Rupa Subramanya. They discussed Tim Walz’s “stolen valor,” Kamala Harris’s far-left hecklers, the ongoing Olympics gender controversy, the UK’s crackdown on civil liberties, and much more.
We hope you enjoy—and that you tune in live next week on X or YouTube or right here on this page for another installment with Michael, Batya, more Free Pressers, and new guests to discuss the news.
I didn't know about this, but I do now and I just put next week's date on my calendar!
I think what you missed in your discussion of the protests in Britain is the concept of two tiered policing. There is a belief and it looks as if it has some merit that anglo britons and muslim immigrants are being treated very differently in the judicial system with preferential treatment being given to the muslim contingent. Similar to the Imane Khalif uproar, the incident itself, in this case the tragic murder of children was a catalyst for driving frustration about a larger more complex issue.
