The Ricochet Podcast

There are few on planet Earth who’ve spilled as much ink over concerns on Western Civilization’s decline as today’s guest Douglas Murray. Nevertheless, he’s betting long on America even though he’s well aware of the onslaught recounted in his latest bestseller, The War on the West. (Order your copy today!)

There are few on planet Earth who's spilled as much ink over concerns of Western Civilization's decline as today's guest Douglas Murray. Nonetheless, he's betting long on America despite the fight he's recounted in his latest bestseller, The War on the West. (Order your copy today!) Murray takes us through the complications of finding things to agree on when the past is being upended; how his new home country became the heart of the problem; and the very fine surgical procedure needed to not only fight the good fight, but to win it.

The fellas discuss the January 6th Committee–or rather, the diversion masquerading as an investigation. They're somewhat intrigued by the fur flying at The Washington Post, and they express their top pet peeves as far as vocabulary and grammar are concerned.

This week we move from the pits of a senseless war to the mount of the royal jubilee, and cover quite a bit of terrain in between. Our first guest is exiled Soviet dissident Yuri Yarim-Agaev, whose extensive knowledge of Vladimir Putin is tough to match.

This week we move from the pits of a senseless war to the mount of the royal jubilee, and cover quite a bit of terrain in between. Our first guest is exiled Soviet dissident Yuri Yarim-Agaev, who's extensive knowledge of Vladimir Putin is tough to match. We get his take on the man and his motivation; how the supposed mastermind of intelligence operations became the victim of Russian disinformation; and, of course, why he believes it matters to Americans.

Next up is Peter's former Oxford classmate, Charles Hay, the 16th Earl of Kinnoull. The hosts pick his brain on the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, the mysterious nature of her power, and his thoughts on a world which is lost, for better and for worse.

Plus, Biden wants more credit; James reminisces on the old newspaper room; and Peter and Rob speak about fraud in eduction.

With a catastrophic tragedy in the news, the Ricochet mood is a bit more serious; but that doesn’t mean bad policy or sentimental grandstanding are appropriate courses of action. That’s why this week, we’ve invited a Second Amendment expert and parent on to the show. The one and only Charles C.W. Cooke. He fields questions on the horror in Uvalde, the reaction from politicians and the press... Source

With a catastrophic tragedy in the news, the Ricochet mood is a bit more serious; but that doesn't mean bad policy or sentimental grandstanding are appropriate courses of action. That's why this week, we've invited a Second Amendment expert and parent on to the show. The one and only Charles C.W. Cooke. 

He fields questions on the horror in Uvalde, the reaction from politicians and the press; the DPS, and a few potential resolutions to hopefully prevent so many of these terrible acts of violence. Peter and James also talk about the collapse of civic and moral norms that get far too little attention when these senseless crimes are discussed.

Rob's off on vacation, but Peter's back from the Promised Land! Thankfully you won't have to wait until his next episode of Uncommon Knowledge is released to hear from Yoram Hazony, author of Conservatism: A Rediscovery. Yoram has revisited the past in the hopes of finding something new that conservatives will desperately need in order to offer something other than a another variant of liberalism. He answers his many critics and considers a plausible path of resistance against the progressive threat.

Later, Peter describes his faith-strengthening visit to Israel and James recounts the excitement of his chance to meet Ricochet members in New York. Plus, what's the deal with Humphrey Bogart!?

While Peter's venturing about the 'real' America, James is vacationing between the Hudson and East rivers so he can meet up with his pal Rob–and, more importantly–fellow Ricochet members for our first-ever pub crawl! We hope you won't miss it; but don't worry, we've got more events to come. (There's a surprise announcement for our next one herein!)

First up is a man who needs no introduction. The indispensable Byron York is here to give us an up close take on blamey Biden, and how the Dobbs leak might change the political playing field. He's followed by Rich Goldberg, who's been keeping track of the world of crypto since before it became as chaotic as it has recently. 

Our lovable hosts also delve into baby formula, the gamer scene, developments in Ukraine and say a not-especially-fond farewell to Jen Psaki.
