Fox News Commentator (and Ricochet alum) Mollie Hemingway took a break from the hectic pace of events to sit down with our own Dave Carter for a fairly comprehensive survey of the political and cultural landscape today. The conversation ranges from Joe Biden's selection of Senator Kamala Harris for his Vice Presidential candidate, to the media's mischaracterization of the riots and carnage in major cities across the country. Along the way, Mollie and Dave discuss the general reluctance of politicians and commentators to honestly address the "root causes" of much of the crime, death, and destruction that afflicts inner city life across the nation (their conclusions may surprise you). Dave laments the media's apparent role as the public relations arm of the DNC, at which point Mollie takes a different view. How different? You'll have to listen in for that one.
Then Dave talks with Ricochet Charter Member Duane Oyen, who has been with us since before this site launched. Duane has some thoughts on the state of politics today, the Never Trump phenomenon, and various distinctions and divisions on the Right. "But when Duane weighs in on the things that unite us all," writes Dave, "he sounds as wise as Solomon." If you like discussions of policy, political philosophy, and a dose of history, this is the podcast for you. you.
Finally, if you’re listening to Dave’s show, but you’re not a Ricochet member, there is a way you can get a 30 day free trial membership . Tune in to learn more!

Great talks! Love Molly, hope she gets her own show on somewhere. Can she make sure that her Fox appearances get posted on YouTube so that those of us who cut the cable can still hear her brilliance?
A lot of the anti-trump movement, was also the anti-tea party movement. Such as this scene from "NewsRoom":
(not to worry no actual republicans where involved in the shooting of this series)
I am so glad ended long before Trump. Same as "West Wing" "BattleStar Galactica" ... Could you imagine how these writer rooms (the rabid Bush haters) would have reacting to Trump? Any fond memories we have for these series would have been crushed. I never watched newsroom beyond it's pilot episode - The Sanctimony Saturation Event.
(to get back on track) The Anti-Trumps are the elitist, establishment "John Roberts" type republicans.

Terrible confession here: I never watched West Wing, or Battle Star Gallactica, or Newsroom, etc. Until very recently, I hardly watched TV at all. But don't tell anyone, okay? It'll be our little secret here.

Watch one season (all I could stomach) of House of Cards. Especially the character of Zoe Barnes. It explains a lot about the attempted coup of President Trump.
