Shadows in the Metaverse

There are no crystal balls on Ricochet, but we can't keep our eyes off the future. What's to become of the GOP? Hard to say; but our guest David Drucker has written a book and launched his very own podcast to ponder these very questions. Rob and James put him in the interviewee seat for a change get his take on how candidates will have to navigate a climate that's been permanently altered by Donald Trump. How does the former president affect local and state elections? What should make of the upcoming election in Virginia? (What the heck's up with those tiki-torchers?) And, most importantly, how do the members of the ever-growing crowd of Republican hopefuls get attention while living in Trump's shadow? You'll have to listen to find out! Also, Peter pops in to tell us about the Rupert Murdoch birthday celebration he attended, plus Rob and James debate the consequences of Zuckerberg's hopes to take us all to the metaverse.
