Great podcast Mike. I hope you’re right about our president learning and evolving from this.
One of the best songs ever.
Thanks for the podcast. I don’t agree with all of your assessments but it’s refreshing to hear people who are positive about Trump.
Hey, Mike often qualifies his initial contradiction of his second restatement of his starting opinion. That’s what smart open-minded people do in uncanned conversation, right?
Love the irony that the podcast with the sniffiest title is nearly the only one in the lineup without disdain, whether fullthroated or masked, for the American conservative everyman, while almost taking delight in what jackasses we can be. Todd can even express his fondness for artsified Dogme empty house cheenema (which I share) with good cheer.
The sad truth for much of Ricoworld is tone matters and tone can’t be faked.
Thanks for another show with perfect pitch.
I think the punk rock poetess you’re thinking of is Patti Smith, who’s biggest hit was “Because the Night”.
Trump said several times on the campaign trail that he favors a single-payer system.
Thanks!
That was not what the AHCA was so your point is irrelevant. Great podcast guys.
CS, you keep dropping this NT chestnut as if it has any relevance. FDR gave speeches in October 1932 lambasting Hoover for the reckless overspending of his alphabet agencies. Did it matter in 1933?
More accurately, Trump noted that some national health services are reasonably effective and widely supported. They are, even by conservatives, in Canada, England and most first world countries. Sometimes reality is more complex than a CATO PowerPoint.
What are you saying here? That Trump and Bannon intentionally scuppered Boy Genius Ryan’s reformicon contraption in order to advance single payer?
I prefer competitive and innovative medicine and pharmaceutical companies, but Trump didn’t win PA, MI, OH, WI and NC by promising tax cuts to the .5 percent and elimination of opioid addiction treatment.
Links, please.
This is the best podcast on Ricochet, bar none.
Doesn’t the idea of Casper sheets sound like a natural?
