Jon Gabriel | Ricochet

Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) and Stephen Miller (aka @RedSteeze) welcome Tom Shillue to discuss his new book, Mean Dads for a Better America: The Generous Rewards of an Old-Fashioned Childhood. Tom is a Fox News contributor and hosted the late, great “Red Eye.” He’s also a popular stand-up comedian, tours with Jim Gaffigan, and regularly sings on Jimmy Fallon, barbershop quartet-style. Jon and Steve also discuss the big freedom-of-speech win in SCOTUS for synth-pop band The Slants, and the utter lameness of shouting down Shakespeare.

The intro song is “Fight Back” by The Slants. Jon’s song of the week is “Ghost Stories” by Dave Catching & Secret Secrets, and Stephen’s is “Third of May / Ōdaigahara” by Fleet Foxes.

Another busy week with much to talk about and to help out we’ve got (along with @jongabriel sitting in for Rob Long) the great Yuval Levin and Adam Carolla. Yuval schools us on the rumors that the President will fire Robert Mueller and the black box that is the Congressional Budget Office, and Adam stops by to talk about his upcoming film the Dennis Prager (they’re raising money to underwrite it — donate here). Also, 30 years ago this week, Peter Robinson jotted down a few words for Ronald Reagan. We get some of the backstory in this very podcast. You don’t want to miss that.

Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) and Stephen Miller (aka @RedSteeze) talk about the latest incident of leftist violence — the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise and the GOP congressional baseball practice. Since the gunman was a Bernie Sanders volunteer and ardent Trump hater, progressives and the press insist that their lurid anti-Republican rhetoric shares none of the blame. This is quite a turn of events from their response to apolitical attacks on Democrats, such as Gabby Giffords in Tucson.

The intro song is “Red Flag” by The Moth & The Flame. Jon’s song of the week is “Sympathy for the Auto Industry” by HeCTA, and Stephen’s is “Remain” by Jay Som.

Stephen Miller (aka @RedSteeze) bought a ticket to Wonder Woman and the internet lost its collective mind. Alamo Drafthouse intended the viewing to be women-only … until Stephen decided to join them. The Conservatarians co-host returns from vacation to talk about his trip to the movies, the international media coverage it garnered, and the people on the right and left who tried to co-opt it.

Jon’s song of the week is “Lawman” by Girl Band, and Stephen’s is “Apocalypse” by Cigarettes After Sex. To listen to all the music featured on The Conservatarians, subscribe to our Spotify playlist. You also should subscribe to this podcast and give it five-star, glowing reviews on iTunes!

We’re all over the globe physically and all over the map topically this week as we cover the British elections with our guests Toby Young from The Spectator (read his take on the election here) and we’ve got the great Andrew McCarthy on Comey, the NSA, and Trump’s legal conundrums. Also, Rob is in a park in London. Yes, in a park. Now, that’s devotion.

Never let it be said that the Ricochet Podcast does not scour the world looking for the best guests and conversation to elucidate the issues of the day and make you muy contento. This week, we’ve got Senator Ben Sasse direct from the backroads of Nebraska talking about his new must-read book The Vanishing American Adult: Our Coming-of-Age Crisis–and How to Rebuild a Culture of Self-Reliance. We talk parenting and yes, some politics. And then, live on a scratchy phone line from Havana, it’s TV’s Rob Long with a sickles loafers-on-the-ground report from the Worker’s Paradise.

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 @1967mustangman and @VicrylContessa on the occasion of their engagement. We wish them a smart and civil marriage with little or no need for moderators.
