Today on Judging Freedom, Judge Andrew Napolitano has opinions on two trending headlines: Jussie Smollett's guilty verdict and Julian Assange's U.S. Extradition. Jussie Smollett’s conviction Thursday for lying to police about a racist, homophobic attack came nearly three years after his report of a horrifying hate crime quickly became part of a polarized political landscape, with people — including the president of the United States — weighing in from all over. The Judge breaks it all down. A British appellate court opened the door Friday for Julian Assange to be extradited to the United States on spying charges by overturning a lower court decision that the WikiLeaks founder’s mental health was too fragile to withstand incarceration in America. The Judge details why that's the wrong move. #JussieSmollett #JulianAssange #JudgeNapolitanoSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

PLEASE NOTE: I reference the shooter's school locker in this audio... When I should have been referring to the "shooter's backpack." - APN Today on Judging Freedom a new segment called "What's On My Mind" is introduced. Judge Andrew Napolitano has opinions on two trending headlines: 1. 'We know the gun was in the school and he had access to it': Michigan prosecutor refuses to rule out criminal charges for Oxford High School officials who failed to check Ethan Crumbley's backpack and locker despite warning signs. 2. Fury as a transgender UPenn swimmer who used to compete as a man smashes TWO US women's records and finishes one race 38 seconds ahead of her nearest rival. More on the UPenn swimmer from the DailyMail: A trans swimmer and senior at the University of Pennsylvania, who previously spent three years competing as a man, smashed two US records while competing at a weekend contest, sparking fresh claims of unfairness. On Sunday, Lia Thomas, 22, put in an astounding performance at the Zippy Invitational Event in Akron, Ohio, that saw her finish the 1,650 yard freestyle 38 seconds ahead of her teammate Anna Sofia Kalandaze. Thomas's winning time was 15:59:71, with her UPenn teammate Anna Kalandaze coming second with a time of 16:37:44. Thomas's win was a record for the Zippy Meet, and the pool where the event took place. But she also managed to smash two US women's swimming records during earlier races at the same event. The first US record was broken on Friday, December 3, when Thomas won the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:34:06. She raced to victory 14 seconds ahead of Kalandaze - the swimmer she beat by 38 seconds on Sunday. And then on Saturday, she won the 200 yard freestyle in 1:41:93 - seven seconds ahead of her nearest rival, giving her the fastest female US time ever for that race too. It's the first season Thomas, who was formerly named Will, has competed in the swimming meets as a transgender woman. As Will, Thomas competed on the men's team for two full seasons. This weekend she won three events and set three new school records including two new Ivy League records. #JudgeNapolitano #TransgenderSwimmer #MichiganSchoolShootingSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On a brand new Judging Freedom, Judge Andrew Napolitano discusses the news that New York City has set a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private-sector works. This new ‘first in the nation’ requirement is scheduled to go into effect on December 27th, says outgoing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. More from CNBC: The new mandate comes after New York identified eight cases of the omicron variant and the United States once again averages 100,000 new, reported cases of the virus every day. It will cover about 184,000 businesses and applies to all in-person employees who work in an office with others. By Dec. 27, unvaccinated employees must have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, de Blasio said. Under the new mandate, unvaccinated employees won't have the option to get tested instead, but the city plans to offer religious and medical exemptions. "We've got omicron as a new factor, we've got the colder weather, which is really going to create additional challenges with the delta variant, we've got holiday gatherings," de Blasio said during his appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "We in New York City have decided to use a preemptive strike to really do something bold to stop the further growth of Covid and the dangers it's causing to all of us."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Victor Davis Hanson is an author, professor, farmer, and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. Today he joins Judge Napolitano on this brand new episode of Judging Freedom. In addition, to talk about the FBI, the gentlemen discuss Victor's latest article, "Third Worldizing America." You can read at PJ Media. What Happens When the Government Breaks Its Own Laws? by Judge Andrew Napolitano A common denominator to recent controversies at the Justice Department, CIA, FBI, and Pentagon is that all these agencies under dubious pretexts have investigated American citizens with little or no justification — after demonizing their targets as “treasonous,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists,” or “racists.” Americans live under a governmental regime that openly breaks its own laws. The government not only believes it can do whatever it can get away with politically, not only believes that it can torture its foreign foes and claim the torture is a state secret, not only can bribe and coerce witnesses into saying what the government wants to hear, but it also can authorize criminals to commit crimes.

Today on Judging Freedom, Judge Napolitano explains the charging of the Michigan parents whose son killed four people and injured seven.
