Aliens Among Us

Settle in folks, this is a long one (and not in the Rob sense of the word). First up, Powerline's Steve Hayward (and the host of the Powerline Podcast available on the Ricochet Audio Network) drops by to discuss the inauguration and preview the Biden administration. Then, a segment we have been looking forward to for a long time. Avi Loeb is a Professor of Science at Harvard University and the longest serving chair of Harvard Astronomy Department. His new book, Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth, posits that an alien craft visited our solar system in 2017. He makes a compelling and science based case for it, and if he's correct, it's one of the most --if not the most-- significant scientific discovery in human history. You heard it here first, folks. Finally, Antonia Okafor is the host of the Speak-Easy podcast,one of our newest shows and one of our best. We talk to her about her passion for guns and the 2nd Amendment and why Kamala Harris becoming Vice President is significant to her, even though Antonia disagrees with almost all of Harris' policy positions and politics. We urge you to listen to her 4 minute long solo edition of Speak-Easy on this topic. It's enlightening and moving. Music from this week's show: Waiting For The UFOs by Graham Parker and The Rumor
