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 40 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
It’s just Steve and Charles this week, taking in another wild one. Don and Elon are on the outs — but is it permanent? The courts are busy, and a handful of great, unanimous decisions get their due cheer; Karine Jean-Pierre goes independent; Ukraine’s drones remind us that modern warfare has changed; and Sam Tanenhaus published his long-awaited Buckley bio. Tune in for Hayward’s review preview.

Good, wide-ranging discussion. I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but I noticed Steve said he would offer more analysis of the Buckley book “in due course” — one of WFB’s most often-used phrases.
Yes, it was intentional, insofar as I have been using that Buckley phrase for years, having picked it up from Firing Line and his columns.
I’ll have a long review of the Tanenhaus bio coming out shortly–hopefully the next few days. Watch for updates on my Substack, “Political Questions.” I’ll be sure to make a big announcement there.
Two Great Americans back when TV was TV. lol
And in fact, here it is now:

Extremely well done. I commented on X that he gives short shrift to Catholicism and wonder if goes into WFB’s love of music at all. Without in-depth examination of those two aspects of his life, a reader will not get a sense of WFB.
