February 17, 2017 Meet The Press
This week, our pal and former colleague Mollie Hemingway sits in and fortuitously, there's a ton of media stories to discuss, starting with the President's epic press conference. Later, NewsMax CEO and Presidential BFF Chris Ruddy joins to give us his insider POV of the machinations of White House staff. Then another old colleague, author and musician James Poulos stops by to discuss why he's intent on making de Tocqueville great again with his new book The Art of Being Free: How Alexis de Tocqueville Can Save Us from Ourselves. Also, some thoughts on the Deep State, a phrase that has suddenly come back into the zeitgeist.

The hard part about producing a podcast these days is finding topics to discuss. In the era of Trump, not much happens. Well, we struggle to carry on with our guests John Yoo on the trials and tribulations of Trump's executive order and Judge Gorsuch, and El Rush Bro himself, David Limbaugh on the President's first two weeks (wait --- it's only been two weeks?) Also, Elizabeth Warren gets sent to her room and a hearty Ricochet Podcast Mazel Tov to Ricochet members Mustangman1967 and Vicryl Contessa on the occasion of their engagement. We wish them a smart and civil marriage with little or no need for moderators.

February 03, 2017 The Party Line
When we want measured, calm commentary on the current political climate on the right, we always turn to the weirdest Democrat we know -- our old pal Mickey Kaus. He helps us navigate Trump's phone calls, the mysterious Steve Bannon, the wall, and assorted other unique aspects of the first weeks of the Trump administration. Then, Hoover's Adam J. White joins to help us analyze Neil Gorsuch, Trump's SCOTUS nominee. Finally, a few thoughts on 1934-ism and yes, Super Bowl picks!

We're down two mean this week (Rob Long is still making TV great again and Peter Robinson is on sick leave), but the show must go on with our extremely capable guests hosts Larry Kudlow and Jon Gabriel. We talk media freakout, trade wars, walls, and with our guest Fox News Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen, covering the Trump Administration, Tweeting Presidents, and his fantastic book, A Torch Kept Lit by William F. Buckley, Jr. Also, we remember Mary Tyler Moore and Mike Connors.
