Episode 12 - Weiss, ICE, & Sentencing FightsOn new media and old, government overreach, and a far-too-lenient sentence.On episode 12 of the Rational Policy Podcast, your hosts Mike Coté and Art Vandelay dive into many of the week’s major news stories. We start off with a brief mention of the Gaza peace plan (more on that to come), lauding the accomplishment and hoping for Hamas follow-through. Then we shift gears to discuss the media, namely the recent $150 million acquisition of The Free Press by Paramount/CBS. We discuss the rapid rise of Bari Weiss’s company, the rationale behind the purchase, the jealous legacy media reactions, and what it may say about the future of the field. Next, we talk about the controversies around immigration enforcement across the country. We touch on the overreach by the federal government, the difficulties of a mass deportation strategy, and how things may shake out in the coming weeks. Finally, Mike briefly rants on the ridiculously short prison sentence handed out to the would-be assassin of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and what it says about progressive judges. Check it out, follow us on Twitter/X (Mike / Art), and share the podcast with anyone you think might appreciate it. Thanks for listening! Rational Policy is free today.
