A Discussion with Yaron Brook, tonight at 8 p.m. PT (11 p.m. ET)

Tonight I am pleased to welcome back to the show Yaron Brook, executive director of The Ayn Rand Institute and co-author, with Don Watkins, of Free Market Revolution.

Among the topics on the agenda for this evening are: Yaron’s recent visit to the NSA, aid to Israel, Iraq, “Inversions,” Paleo, and advocating for policies and candidates in the short term. I’m hoping to revisit immigration and ask what he thinks about the danger from Ebola.

Nihilism and Its Consequences, Today at 12 p.m. PT (3 p.m. ET)

Today we’ll discuss the unfortunately pervasive effects of nihilism seen in recent news. From the destructiveness of Hamas and whoever shot down a Malaysian passenger plane this week, to our President’s shameful response to the latter, and even to the structure of player contracts in basketball and the politicization of classic superheroes in comics. See Program Notes, below, for links to all the stories, etc., we plan to discuss.

What Does the Supreme Court’s Cell Phone Privacy Ruling Say About NSA Surveillance?, today at 12 p.m. PT (3 p.m. ET)

Today we’ll discuss the Supreme Court’s ruling in Riley v. California (joined with United States v. Wurie), in which the Court held that a government agent may not peruse the data held on a cell phone as part of a warrantless “search incident to arrest.” In order to search data on a cell phone, the government agent would need either to get a warrant, or to search pursuant to another exception to the warrant requirement (e.g., exigent circumstances). We’ll discuss the ruling itself and also its possible implications for the cases on which I have my primary focus: those challenging the NSA’s bulk metadata collection program.

We’ll also discuss a lot more–see Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., we plan to discuss.
