Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel and Heatstreet’s Stephen Miller welcome Salena Zito to talk about the forgotten Americans along the Acela Corridor and beyond. Zito served as a reporter and columnist for the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, and is currently a contributor for CNN, the New York Post, and the Washington Examiner. (You might know her as the person who coined the phrase about President Trump: “The press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally.”)
Our intro and outro music is “Outside the City” by Young Galaxy. Stephen’s song of the week is “The Way I Feel” by Dude York, and Jon’s is “Sugar for the Pill” by Slowdive. 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!

Salena Zito is a national treasure. I also always try to take the “scenic route”. She is a great read when she interviews folks on the other side. No gotcha’s or attacks, just an honest look into the heart of the enemy. Nobody is more tuned into the hearts and minds of traditional America. More of her on Ricochet please?
Stephen Miller dismisses Susan Rice story. So does his favorite 2016 presidential candidate, Evan McMullin:
“History will not look kindly upon politicians & reporters who – for personal interest-knowingly promote the diversions of this administration.”
A ton of home town pride in Salena Zito. As Yinzer, I always knew she deserved a much bigger platform.
Yeah. I’m a bit biased as well but I’d be a fan even if she was from Cleveland.
Opening with four minutes of – my hot water heater is on the fritz – is not the way to bring new listeners in.
Stephen Miller, please, please – STOP SAYING “like”!!!!! Just stop it! Your apparent IQ drops with each use. Your first several minutes were so peppered with “like” that I almost turned it off. You got better after a bit, but please excise this from your vocabulary.
I used to teach at a private school in which students were fined each time they used “like” (except for those times when the word is actually the one needed).
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought: Morrissey. On the bright side, he would have ended fat-shaming in Egypt.
Salena is correct when she says that the media has not accepted the election. Alas, that is also true of a lot of Ricochet’s contributors.
