Judge Andrew Napolitano’s Freedom Watch is Back

In 2009, Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst and former New Jersey state Judge Andrew Napolitano launched on the internet his interview and commentary show Freedom Watch. The next year, Napolitano’s show of the same name began a television run on Fox Business. The show’s run ended in 2012.

Since then, Napolitano has kept busy with many activities including writing books; speaking around the country; appearing frequently as an interviewee, and on occasion as a guest host, on Fox News and Fox Business shows; and making short “Judge Napolitano’s Chambers” video editorials for the Fox News website. Still, many people have missed, over the last few years, Napolitano hosting his own show.

Well, it looks like Freedom Watch is back in a new iteration. On Tuesday, Fox News posted on its website a six-minute Freedom Watch episode in which host Napolitano interviews political commentator and radio talk show host Alan Colmes, The interview is focused on whether Sen.

Bill Kristol’s Presidential Candidate: David French?

Pro-war pundit Bill Kristol is disgusted about Donald Trump being the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Indeed, Kristol has even been searching for someone to launch an independent or third-party campaign to counter Trump.

Last weekend Kristol stirred up some interest with a tweet that “an independent candidate–an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance” would emerge. That hasn’t happened yet. But, Mark Halperin and John Hellemann report today at Bloomberg that Republican sources say Kristol is trying to recruit National Review writer David French to launch an independent presidential run and that, while French is open to the idea, French has not yet made up his mind.
