Pardon Us

Gotta make this brief as we are very, very busy around here: Peter Robinson? Not here this week. Jon Gabriel sits in for him. It's really cold in NYC today. We break down the dumpster fire Democratic debate. Then, author and New York Times science writer (no that's not a typo) John Tierny on his book The Power of Bad: How the Negativity Effect Rules Us and How We Can Rule It . We're positive you are going to like it. Then, our pal Christina Hoffs Sommers from the Femsplainers podcast stops by to talk about Harvey Weinstein, Democratic primary candidate wackiness (and woke-i-ness) and why she thinks Bernie Sanders will be the nominee. Finally, pardon us, but we have to discuss the pardons, and Jon Gabriel humblebrags about reading some really old books. Yawn. Music from this week's show: Rose Garden by Lynn Anderson

The Wrestlers

This week, we mix it up across a wide variety of views with guests from all over the right side of the ideological map. First up, AEI's Christina Hoff Sommers, author of The War Against Boys: How Misguided Policies are Harming Our Young Men. She wrote a Tweet this past week that set social media on fire. So we talk about that. Then, the main event: Charlie Sykes is a longtime time talk radio host in Wisconsin and is the newly minted host the The Daily Standard podcast right here on Ricochet. Charlie and our own Peter Robinson get into on the current occupant of the Oval Office, and well, let's just say they don't see eye-to-eye. But they do give a master class in how to disagree civilly. Take notes, people. Music from this week's podcast: Why Can't We Be Friends by War
