Universal Questions

This week we've got old friends as guests: The Discovery Institute's Dr. Stephen Meyer joins to remind us that the God hypothesis gets us a lot further than alien astronauts. (Check out his excellent New York Post piece.) And then our own Dr. George Savage follows to speak about the new ominous Delta variant, and to point out that industrial policy is better left to innovators rather than bureaucrats. Rob Long is off this week, but James and Peter delve into the January 6th Commission, and rich people in space! Music from this week's podcast: Dear God by XTC

The Viral President

The news cycle these days is crushing -- warping time upon itself like a black hole. So how does America's Most Balanced Podcast® respond? By booking a third guest, of course. On today's lineup, we've got Casey Mattox;the Vice President for Legal and Judicial Strategy at Americans for Prosperity, a group dedicated to (among other things), getting Amy Coney Barrett through the nomination process. You can help by visiting their website UniteForBarrett.com and signing a letter that will be sent to your Senator. Do it! Then, our good friend (and fellow board member) Dr. George Savage stops by to give us an M.D.'s perspective on the President's condition and what his course of treatment might be. Finally, Henry Olsen, he of the Horse Race podcast right here on this network visits and dispenses some punditry on how the President's health may affect his re-election effort. No spoilers here, sorry. Finally, the Lileks Post of The Week is back and it's a doozy: did Harry Truman actually approve the use of the use of the A-Bomb at the end of WWII or did the military just deploy like a new submarine or aircraft? We get into it and then some. Music from this week's show: Instant Karma! (We All Shine On) by John Lennon

Ask Dr. Savage

Dr. George Savage is the Chief Medical Officer / Co-Founder at Proteus Digital Health, Inc (full disclosure: he's also a member of Ricochet's Board of Directors) and has been closely watching both government's management of the Corona crisis, the evolution of the testing protocols, and the search for a treatment and ultimately, a vaccine. In this conversation with Rob Long, Dr. Savage takes us through where we've been, the current situation, and most importantly, where we're going later in the year in terms of opening the economy and the chances of a resurgence.

The Senator and The Doctor

No, we did not book Rand Paul on this supersized edition of The Big Show (90 minutes of clever and civil conversation!), we booked Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) to discuss the stimulus packages (speaking of super-sized), the federal government's response to the crisis, and a boots-on-ground report from Ohio. And our good friend and go to authority on all things medical, Dr. George Savage checks up on us and gives an update on the models (no, not those kind of models), the research, and whether sheltering at home and shutting down the economy is actually working. This week's Lileks Post of The Week (we'll get that jingle timed correctly one of these days -- promise) asks us not to mock Joe Biden (eh, maybe...), and Rob Long saunters around a deserted Manhattan and has some thoughts.

Special Ricochet Podcast: Dr. George Savage

With the country on virtual lockdown and many, many unanswered questions about the Corona Virus, we thought it was a good idea to do a stand alone podcast with our good friend and the most knowledgeable medical person we know (and full disclosure: Ricochet Board Member), Dr. George Savage. Rob Long, and later, Peter Robinson ask the questions on this show, but later in the week, we'll open to the floor up to you and let you ask Dr. Savage. Stay tuned for a post soliciting questions. In the meantime, listen to this show and stay safe.

My Corona

Rob Long is off this week, Law Talk's John Yoo is sitting in. We've got Henry Olsen (he of The Horse Race podcast right here on this network) to chat about Super Duper Tuesday, Joementum!, and whether we've seen the last of the Socialist. Then, our friend and advisor Dr. George Savage stops by the tell us all about the Corona Virus -- who's got it, who doesn't, what we can do about it and what we can't. Yes, we're sick of this topic too. Also, Chuck Schumer says something dumb, why are so many old white guys running for higher office, are some people are too damn sensitive, and another edition of What Are You Watching?
