The Ricochet Podcast episodes

  • We're Not Finished Yet
    Mr. President says he needs four more years to break the country, so we at Ricochet thought we'd bring in a few guests that believe we aren't quite done for. First up is the spritely, always sunny, Kevin Williamson to make the case that things aren't quite as bad as many would have us believe. And Andrew Gutmann returns to tell us about his bold campaign in the sunshine state to take a seat in Congress. (Support the effort to take back our future here!)

    It turns out James was a-way last week. He's still a dude as far as we can tell. The reunited trio chat about his couple weeks in Europa.

  • Check, Please!
    Our apologies for leaving you with Ricochet-less week! In order to make it up to you, we go big with a couple of our favorite recurring guests. First up is Ann Coulter to explain why she thinks the Republican Party is doing all it can to blow yet another election. Then Debra Saunders returns to take us through Dominion's suit against Fox News and the outrageous biases therein.

    The gang also touch on Robert Kennedy, Jr.'s challenge to Joe Biden (and the damage it could do to him!) along with Rob and Charles' grand time in New Orleans meeting Ricochet members!

  • Discover the City of David
    Since the Ricochet Podcast will be on haitus next week, we've got a big episode to tide you over! We're not only jam packed with extra gab time but with today's guest Ze'ev Orenstein, we head the birthplace of our Judeo-Christian tradition. His organization is excavating the City of David, making it possible for those currently celebrating Passover, Holy Week and Ramadan (or any curious visiter) the chance to walk through the grand sites of their prophets, preists and kings.

    The fellas also get into the disappointing elections in Chicago and Wisconsin; plus they touch on the outrageous culture war battles centered around Bud Light and Douglas Mackey.

  • Courting Trouble
    This one's gonna be tough to beat! We've got the details of a Tom Wolfe novel playing out in real time. From a corrupt DA to a presidential scandal involving an adult film star. Plus we've got fan-favorite John Yoo! Need we say more?

    There's some more AI chatter; and Peter's ticker is finally working!

  • Destiny, Demos and Graphics
    It's a trip around the world on this week's Ricochet Podcast. Our guide is AEI's Nick Eberstadt. He keeps up with all the little details that are often overlooked by prognosticating pundits. How do China's age distribution and Russia's health profile for young men hinder their ambitions? Are we in a position to sway India to the West? What other friend prospects are out there? He has answers to all the questions most of us have never thought to ask. And optimism, too! The guys also talk about the Dutch and their farms and the French and their grèves. Plus, just when you thought we could all agree that TikTok is the worst, our hosts find some finer points to quibble about. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Bank On It
    To mark the third anniversary of America’s Covid lockdown hysteria Rob, James and Peter give their uncredentialed thoughts on Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse and the FDIC doing something very different than what it was created for.

  • An American Centenarian and The American Century
    William Buckley attracted a lot of attention—and we’re all the better for it. But his big brother Jim was no small player in the conservative rebound that saved the country in the late 20th Century.

  • An American Centenarian and the American Century
    William Buckley attracted a lot of attention and we're all the better for it, but his big brother James was no small player in the conservative rebound that saved the country in the late 20th Century. On March 9th, the elder Buckley celebrated his 100th birthday, and Jack Fowler joins to remind us of the significance of the WWII veteran and member of the small club of public servants who've served in high positions in all three branches of the federal government. 
    Ricochet's merry trio also get into the Twitter Files hearings and latest developments south of the border.
