Yelling at People Is Kinda Boring: Kennedy on Her New Show and the State of Cable News

Following the cancellation of Fox Business Networks The Independents, its libertarian host Kennedy re-emerged Monday with an eponymous nightly show on the same network. The show promises a quirky blend of politics, sports, music (Kennedys a former MTV VJ), and allusions to hilarious nights of binge-drinking with other political pundits.

Kennedy sat down with Mediaite for a quick Q&A on what she learned from her first political show experience, what she hopes Kennedy will accomplish, and why libertarianism is growing considerably, especially on cable news.

Enjoy below:

Since Mediaites readership is full of people who religiously watch cable news, explain to them why your new show is awesome and they should watch it.

Its awesome because its got a lot of lively interesting conversation, and its liberty-minded. Its whatever your favorite things were about the 90s we concentrate them all in one place.

So basically its a big melting pot of Gen-X sentiment and libertarianism is awesome? So its not just a bunch of people who are gold hoarders [a popular libertarian stereotype]?

Uh, I love gold hoarders. I love survivalists. But you dont have to hoard gold to love the show. Thats the nice thing about it. If you hoard gold, youll be delighted. And if youre a fan of other precious metals or paper currency, youll be equally happy. If your moms best friends love shiny things, theyll be right at home.

The new show has a similar vibe to E!s The Soup, mostly because you riff on all these things happening in the news, with a deadpan sort of mockery. Is that intentional?

Well, there was no Soup discussion when we were putting the show together, but I do love Joel McHale. Ive been a fan of his for a long time. I love his delivery, I adore his acting. I think hes really good. But what weve been trying to do is be true to ourselves and let the rest follow.

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Australian Libertarian Society (ALS) and we will be celebrating by hosting the biggest and best Friedman Conference to date. The full detailsof the 2015 Friedman Conference have not been released yet, but you can keep up to speed with the latest news on the facebook event page,and have a look below to see some of the speakers that we have had in the past.

An invitation to the biggest libertarian event of2014 John Humphreys

The ALS Friedman Conference is coming back to Sydney on 3/4 May 2014, and once again it promises to be the single biggest gathering of the good and the great from Australias liberty movement. Come and join us for a fun-filled weekend of learning, friendship and the inevitable debate that comes from putting more than one libertarian in a room at the same time.

I met Bopha last year and heard the story of how she narrowly escaped with her life when her vehicle came under heavy fire, while she was attempting to expose government corruption. Despite that experience (and numerous death threats) she continues to work as an editor-at-large for the Cambodia Daily. I hope you too will be inspired by her integrity and bravery.

In addition to our international guests, we have some of the best minds from Australia, including our three most high profile free-market economists inProfessors Sinclair Davidson, Judith Sloan and Henry Ergas. If those three agree they are unstoppable, and if they disagree then there will be fireworks; either way it is not to be missed.

We are also proud to haveSenator-elect David Leyonhjelmspeaking at the conference. The 2013 federal election was the first time in Australias history that somebody has been elected to parliament standing for a libertarian party; and even more exciting is the fact that David will have shared balance of power in the Senate when his term begins in July.

We are delighted that some of our most popular speakers from last year have returned, includingDr Ben ONeill, Cass Wilkinson, Prof Jason Potts, Dr Jeremy Shearmur, Dr Peter Phelps, the Hon Dr Gary Johns, and Mark Hornshaw. They will be joined by many more exciting intellectuals and activists includingDr William Coleman, Dr Julie Novak, Kerryn Pholi, Dr Liam Tjia, Jenny Lindsay, Trisha Jha, Dr Peter Rohde, Leonie Phillips, and many more.For the list of announced speakers and their details, check out theconferencedetailsor the facebook event and watch out for updates because more speakers are being announced every week.

The conference will be on the weekend of 3/4 May at UTS Sydney (Haymarket Campus). There will also be a Friday night event held in conjunction with Sydney Liberty on the Rocks and part of the international North Korean FreedomWeek, where we will be raising money to help rescue people fleeing the worlds worst socialist hellhole. The gala dinner withTimWilson will be on Saturday night, and includes a three course meal and an open bar.
