Lawfare and the Silencing of Americans

All Smiles

The days of Carter era malaise were bad, bad, bad. But at least the man had the decency to speak honestly about the nation's troubles. Joe Biden on the other hand insists on telling us that everything's great. We discuss this along with the frowny faced Republicans who hope to challenge him and the proscpects for an American rebound with Kim Strassel, author of the just-released The Biden Malaise. Charles, James and Rob cover New York's claim to be uniquely burdened by illegal immigration; the akward position Democrats are in by wanting to rid themselves of the formerly uber inspiring Kamala Harris; and the media's flip on state governments pressuring schools to follow their rulings now that Newsom's twisted team doing it. Opening sound bite from Jimmy Carter's "Malaise Speech"

The Big Tech Election

We've got some debates town halls to cover, we've got a good old fashioned social media shadow banning scandal, Joe Biden's son is bad at influence peddling, we had a Supreme Court nominee sail through her hearing, and we get into the nitty gritty on the 1619 Project. But most importantly, we spend some quality time with Kim Strassel, she of the Wall Street Journal, and one of the most ardent supporters of the President. We of course talk about that with her, also the Senate, the previously mentioned big tech/media controversy. Music from this week's show: Amie by Pure Prarie League

Warriors and Grandmas

We know, we know -- we're 6 or 7 hours late with this. We had some technical difficulties during the recording of this show (we broke with tradition and training and left a bit of it in) which forced us to record this show in two sessions today, apologies for that. But that does not mean you, our faithful listeners are getting shortchanged. Far from it -- this is one of the longest shows we've ever done -- over 90 minutes of clever and civil conversation, featuring our guests, Andrew McCarthy, the WSJ's Kim Strassel, and Ricochet's own editor and senior citizen killer, Bethany Mandel, who joins to discuss her latest adventures on Twitter, which resulted in all of the right people getting mad at her. We even crammed in a Lileks Post of The Week, and plenty of the banter that America's Most Beloved Podcast has become so famous for. So strap yourself in or take a long, long (as in Rob) walk with the dog, cut a large lawn, do a lot of dishes, or whatever your podcast listening activity of choice is and consume this one from start to finish.

Can I Get A Witness?

Do not adjust your podcast app or web browser, you are in fact seeing this week's Ricochet Podcast drop a day early. And we've got a good one for you: Chief Impeachment Pundit John Yoo stops by to grade Alan Dershowitz's impeachment defense arguments and then The Wall Street Journal's Kim Strassel gives no you-know-what's about the Democrats and their tactics. Also, our crew punditizes (we just made that word up) on the Middle East, Lileks gives Post of The Week honors to @HenryCastaigne for his Epic Crossover Event: Dr. Who Battles the Gods of the Copybook Headings, we've got a new Long Poll question, and a new jingle!

Why Can’t We Be Friends?

This week on The Big Show®, we converse about the Kurds, talk about the limits of woke corporatism with David French, and get the low down on Kim Strassel's new book Resistance (At All Costs): How Trump Haters Are Breaking America (buy it!). Also, Ricochet member @DoctorRobert wins this week's coveted Lileks Post of The Week for his two (!) posts Why We Need People Who Have ‘Too Much Money’ and Memories of the Cleveland Orchestra, 10/4/19. Well done, Doc! Finally, can Ellen Degeneres and George W. Bush be friends? Some folks insist that they cannot. Weird. Hey, speaking of friends, don't forget to weigh in on this week's Long Poll as it asks a similar question. Music from this week's show: Why Can't We Be Friends? by War

Hello Captain Hi

Here's what we don't discuss on this week's show: not a word about Sharpie markers, maps, or the tracking of certain weather events. Nope, not a word. Here's what we do talk about: The WSJ's Kim Strassel stops by to talk about Comey, Mueller, and an investigation that went far off the rails (P.S. feel free to pre-order her new book, which she will discuss in more detail on the show next month). Then, we debut a couple of new features: first, The Long Poll (we're still working on the name...). Look for it on the top right of the page, vote, and help Rob fulfill his dream of mainstream media mentions from his elite media buddies. Then, say hello to Lileks' Post of The Week, in which James himself selects a member written post for Ricochet Podcast fame and glory. Who wins this week's coveted mention? You'll have to tune in to find out! Music from this week's episode: Hurricane by Lin Manuel-Miranda from Hamilton
