Today is the premiere of Fox News Channel's new show "The Five."  The roundtable talk show featuring five hosts replaces Glenn Beck as he moves to his own internet show. Of note to libertarians is the fact that among the rotating group of hosts is Andrew Napolitano of Fox Business Network's "Freedom Watch" and libertarian-lite Greg Gutfeld, host of Fox News Channel's late night satirical talk show "Red Eye":

Among the people involved in “The Five:” Greg Gutfeld, who is host of an overnight talk show for Fox; Juan Williams, who is a regular on Fox’s “The O’Reilly Factor;” Dana Perino, a former spokeswoman for the Bush White House; and Andrew Napolitano, the host of a libertarian talk show on the Fox Business Network.

The others named by Fox in a news release were Geraldo Rivera, Andrea Tantaros, Eric Bolling, Monica Crowley, Bob Beckel and Kimberly Guilfoyle.

“The Five” will start on July 11. For the week of July 4, Fox will repeat some of Mr. Beck’s old shows.

Thomas Massie spent much of the last year working to get Rand Paul elected to the Senate. In the meantime, he decided to run for Judge Executive (essentially mayor) of his county. As this article demonstrates, the recently sworn-in Massie is downsizing government and exposing corruption, much to the displeasure of bureaucrats and politicians:

Some called allegations made during Lewis County Fiscal Court's Monday meeting an attempt to make government more transparent.

Others say it was an unnecessary airing of the county's "dirty laundry." ....

During the dialogue, Massie recognized a citizen in the audience to address the fiscal court. George Plummer, also a former judge executive, urged Massie and the magistrates to take the discussion of the allegations into executive session. He said the exposure of all the "dirty laundry" could damage or wreck careers....

"I think that's what I was elected to do," Massie said of the meeting and the exposure of the county's "dirty laundry."

FIRST THEY CAME for the Anarchists,
and I did not speak out because I wasn't an Anarchist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Sovereign Citizens,
and I did not speak out because I wasn't a Sovereign.

THEN THEY CAME for the Militias,
and I did not speak out because I wasn't Militia.

THEN THEY CAME for the Constitutionalists,
and I did not speak out because I wasn't a Constitutionalist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Libertarians,
and I did not speak out because I wasn't a Libertarian.

AND THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time there was no one left to speak out.
