Thoughts and Prayers

In the wake of the shooting in San Bernardino, we get into the "thoughts and prayers" debate that broke out last night after the NY Daily News published its provocative front page. Then, Dinesh D'Souza joins to discuss his new book Stealing America: What My Experience with Criminal Gangs Taught Me about Obama, Hillary, and the Democratic Party and get into detail about his experiences while incarcerated in a halfway house in Texas. But that's not all -- the great Garry Kasparov calls in to talk about his book Winter Is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped. His comments on Putin and Russia's place in the world are not to be missed. Finally, a meditation of Chick-fil-A courtesy of Ricochet member Olive and her post The Roaring Success of Chick-fil-A in New York City. Music from this week’s episode: Dear God by XTC The opening sequence for the Ricochet Podcast was composed and produced by James Lileks. Yes, you should absolutely subscribe to this podcast.
