Description
For Thanksgiving, we’re bringing you something a little different—an episode of Rational Security, our light, conversational show about national security and related topics. This week, Alan, Quinta and Scott were joined by special guest, Arbiters of Truth co-host Evelyn Douek! They sat down to discuss:— “Getting Rittenhoused”: A jury has recently decided to acquit 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse of all charges, including murder charges, for shooting two men in what he claimed was self-defense during last summer’s unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This response has triggered a public backlash. What does his trial and its aftermath tell us about the intersection of politics and our criminal justice system? — “Now That's a Power Serve”: A global pressure campaign by professional tennis players has forced Chinese officials to disclose the location of Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai, who disappeared after publicly accusing a former senior official of sexual assault. Is this a new model for dealing with Chinese human rights abuse?— “Duck Say Quack and Fish Go Blub, But What Did Fox Say?”: Two prominent conservative commentators have resigned from Fox News over its release of a Tucker Carlson film that they say spreads misinformation and promotes violence. Will this be enough to force the network to curb its behavior?Be sure to visit our show page at www.lawfareblog.com and to follow us on Twitter at @RatlSecurity.
