We couldn’t call it a year without both Founders on board, so with Rob out and about (there are rumors that he’s actually working…) we actually present our penultimate episode for the Year of Our Lord 2022. James and Peter work a two-man booth and they go fission for clean energy, talk about the journo meltdown on Twitter and then talk a little football… or is it soccer? We also welcome in our old...

We couldn't call it a year without both Founders on board, so with Rob out and about (there are rumors that he's actually working...) we actually present our penultimate episode for the Year of Our Lord 2022.

James and Peter work a two-man booth and they go fission for clean energy, talk about the journo meltdown on Twitter and then talk a little football... or is it soccer?

We also welcome in our old friend William McGurn, a member of The Wall Street Journal editorial board and author of the weekly "Main Street" column for the Journal each Tuesday. He is an longtime observer of the Communist Chinese Party and brings us up to date on Hong Kong democracy activist Jimmy Lai.

They say you are the company you keep. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya learned that the hard way after he started cavorting with a bunch of fringe lunatics bent on killing grandmas — Or no, wait… the other thing. It was time spent with fellow reputable, highly credentialed scientists that got him into trouble. With the released Twitter files that show he was placed on an actual blacklist... Source

They say you are the company you keep. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya learned that the hard way after he started cavorting with a bunch of fringe lunatics bent on killing grandmas — Or no, wait; the other thing. It was time spent with fellow highly credentialed scientists that got him in trouble. With the released Twitter files that show he was placed on a blacklist, he comes back to discuss scientists who want to rule the world and his challenge to their authority.

Plus: Charles (filling in for Rob) gives his take on Kyrsten Sinema and Griner trade; and Peter tells us about his meeting with Bibi Netanyahu!

Much as the world benefit from a new dance craze, it would behoove us to ensure that China doesn’t use our moves against us. Our first guest Geoffrey Cain is all too familiar with what the CCP can do with surveillance technology. He sits down with Rob, James and Charles to touch on the protesters, the extraordinary police state they’re up against, and he tries to convince a skeptical Rob and James... Source

Another reminder that glitter doesn't always lead to gold. FTX and its oh-so-scruffy whiz kid have tanked, and they're bringing a lot of risk takers down with them. But some of us can't help but wonder if they were even tricked by actual glitter. If they had been paying attention to Rich Goldberg—host of our Cryptonite podcast—they might've seen it coming. If they tune in today, they might at least learn a lesson or two. And while we're on the subject of misguided expectations, we've invited back Charles McElwee of RealClearPennsylvania. He's here to explain the demographic entanglements that make PA a hard state to call and the mistakes the GOP made that've made us blue these days. And Elon Musk sure has a way of keeping us talking about his new tweet factory. Happy Thanksgiving! See you all in two weeks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tuesday was a buzzkill. How bad, exactly? Not sure yet… Arizona’s taking its time again. Which makes it the perfect opportunity to have a surprise guest appearance from Ricochet’s very own Jon Gabriel, Arizonan and King of all the stuff. Jon breaks down the state’s second consecutive election breakdown. He’s also got some pleasantly bold predictions! Then we’re joined by Luke Thompson... Source
