The Ricochet Podcast

With heat waves, and the inevitable extinction of humanity practically around the corner, why not talk about what’s happening in the cool, comfortable theaters that we’re told are also doomed? To help us keep things light and pleasant, we’ve recruited film critic Sonny Bunch to chat about the elegiac Top Gun: Maverick, the rockin’ biopic Elvis, and the not-so-buzzy Lightyear.

With heat waves, and the inevitable extinction of humanity practically around the corner, why not talk about what's happening in the cool, comfortable theaters that we're told are also doomed? To help us keep things light and pleasant, we've recruited film critic Sonny Bunch to chat about the elegiac Top Gun: Maverick, the rockin' biopic Elvis, and the not-so-buzzy Lightyear. 

The trio also get into the President's positive Covid test – which isn't a big deal all of a sudden. They discuss the calls for "executive beast mode," and ponder one of the biggest existential questions of all: what's up with a moose in the wild?

This week, it’s another round of Question Time, this week with actual (OK, former) British person Charles C.W. Cooke sitting in for Peter Robinson, We cover Florida, guns, newspapers, — an entire smorgasbord of topics (what’s British for smorgasbord?). Music from this week’s episode: I Know There’s An Answer by The Beach Boys... Source

We’ve made it to 600, and in spite of the seemingly never-ending buffet of bad news that got our hosts talking in the first place, we manage to have a good time. Our first guest is Noah Rothman, whose latest book, The Rise of the New Puritans: Fighting Back Against Progressives’ War on Fun, takes a deep dive into the fanatics out to break up our good time.

We've made it to 600, and in spite of the seemingly never-ending buffet of bad news that got our hosts talking in the first place, we manage to have a good time. Our first guest is Noah Rothman, whose latest book, The Rise of the New Puritans: Fighting Back Against Progressives' War on Fun, takes a deep dive into the fanatics out to break up our good time.

Then Toby Young (host of Ricochet's very own London Calling podcast) jumps on to talk about the fall of his old friend Boris Johnson. Was it his personality or his policies that drove him out of 10 Downing? And what's next for Britain's Conservative party?

Of course the guys talk about podcast's latest milestone, but they also talk inflation, plus cheeseburgers and French fries!

Whoa. Wow. Golly. And Hooray! Big news from SCOTUS today. A fifty year judicial error is finally corrected, and Ricochet’s Supreme Court expert John Yoo joins us at the top of the hour to explain. He talks about the unofficial Thomas/Alito court, discusses what this could mean for other landmark cases, along with a few other fresh decisions that, on any other day, would’ve merited a visit from our...

Whoa. Wow. Golly. And Hooray! Big news from SCOTUS today. A fifty year judicial error is finally corrected, and Ricochet's Supreme Court expert John Yoo joins us at the top of the hour to explain. He talks about the unofficial Thomas/Alito court, discusses what this could mean for other landmark cases, along with a few other fresh decisions that, on any other day, would've merited a visit from our good pal Mr. Yoo.

Perhaps providentially, we asked AEI fellow and a charter school founder Ian Rowe to join before the news broke. What better time to have someone so committed to giving disadvantaged children a real shot at the good life? Ian's just published his book, Agency: The Four Point Plan (F.R.E.E.) for ALL Children to Overcome the Victimhood Narrative and Discover Their Pathway to Power. He discusses his decision to turn away from the big bucks he could've attained with his Harvard Business degree in favor of taking on the hard work empowering America's youth.

The hosts also talk about the country getting back to the exhausting business of American democracy.

There are too few refuges for free speech. But on Ricochet our cup overfloweth! To keep things going full speed, we asked our friend Ann Coulter on to dish out an abundant full scoop. She’s just launched her new Substack and podcast to push back on… well, just about everyone who she believes is getting in the way of freedom, America and the families who make it great.

There are few refuges for free speech. But on Ricochet our cup overfloweth. To keep things going full speed, we asked our friend Ann Coulter on to dish out an abundant full scoop. She's just launched her new Substack and podcast to push back on... just about everyone who she believes are getting in the way of freedom, America and the families who make it great! As is her wont, Ann turns more than a few stones. Most notably, she's got a bone to pick with the January 6th Commission. And with Trump. And with the elites that went nuts because of Trump! 

If you're an unfettered lover of people calling it like they see it, this one's for you. Wanna give Ann a piece of your mind?!? Join Ricochet and let her have it in the comments!

The gang have some thoughts on Biden's schizophrenic energy policy (and as Rob promised, here's the American Petroleum Institute's letter to the bumbly President), along with what Mayra Flores means for the hopes of the "God, Country, Family" traditionalism that conservatives are praying for; Peter and James also talk T.V. shows, Michael Connelly novels and the the unbeatable American hotdog.
