Nick Gillespie, Judge Napolitano Bust Myths of US Presidents

|


Note: A year ago on the late, lamented Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano, I sat down with the judge, Fox News' Monica Crowley, and historian Tom Woods to discuss the best and worst of U.S. presidents. Click above to watch the lively discussion and read the original writeup below.

Reason.tv editor in chief Nick Gillespie appeared on a special President's Day episode of Jude Napolitano's Freedom Watch alongside author Monica Crowleyand historian Tom Woods to discuss the perceived legacies of several U.S. presidents. Is Jefferson really a suitable libertarian icon? Was Woodrow Wilson the country's first technocratic president? Why is FDR revered by Progressives? Who really killed JFK? And did Reagan's governance match his small-government rhetoric? Gillespie and his fellow panelists discuss these topics, and more.  Air Date: February 21, 2011.
