Deal With It

Larry Kudlow is back! And he brings good news, among other things. The guys get his take on the dealings of this Kevin McCarthy fellow, along with predictions on forthcoming (eventually!) market corrections, and his optimistic assesment of American work, tradtions and faith. Plus our merry trio get into the GOP primary contenders—and some other people whom we're told are running. More importantly, they talk toy trains... Just tune in and roll with it. Song of the week: This week’s sound bite is Trump on Hannity’s town hall event last night on FNC

Larry Kudlow on Economic Freedom from Kennedy to Reagan to Trump

With contentious midterm elections coming up fast, Annika sits down with one of the best-known commentators and participants in the American political economy over the past four decades: Larry Kudlow. Director Kudlow has had a long and storied career; in addition to great success both on Wall Street and as a political commentator, he served in the Ronald Reagan administration in 1981, and as the Director of the National Economic Council under President Trump. He currently hosts the popular Larry Kudlow Show. In this episode, Larry reflects on his experiences working in the Reagan versus the Trump administrations, the similarities between Reagan and JFK, the challenges China poses to free market economics, and his time studying here at Princeton.

Pennsylvania Polka

America never fails to be interesting, and she tends to kick it into high gear around Election Day. Take Pennsylvania, for example. The Keystone state has shaped into one that is a much watch around this time – and on this go around, we're watch Dr. Oz and John Fetterman... This is why we're lucky to have our new friend Charles McElwee of RealClearPennsylvania to take us into the trenches of this fractious purple state. Next we get a chance to catch up again with Larry Kudlow. (If you haven't already, be sure to check out his show on Fox.) Larry goes through the regulatory wet blanket that's suffocating our ambitions. He has many thoughts on the green crusade and the auxiliary burdens on the economy. Plus, he's got big predictions for the midterms! Lastly, the guys chat on Biden's big pot pardon and the crazy people walking the streets.

Not Scary With Larry

The Question of the Week, maybe the month, perhaps the year, oh, heck -- likely of the century is "when is the economy re-opening?" Sure, we could round up a bunch of egg-head economists to ponder and scratch their chins, but instead we went directly to the West Wing, to the room where it happens (to coin a phrase) and got our old friend and former podcaster Larry Kudlow on the Skype machine. He gives us the actual figures on the economy, the strategy, the mood, and most importantly, how we get out of this. Also, is sunlight a disinfectant? Can you inject Lysol? (Did you really think we weren't going to talk about that?). We've got a Lileks Post of The Week from Southern Pessimist on cooking at home and Chef Long describes how you can cook like the stars.

Hello, Larry

Most Ricochet Podcasts follow a longstanding format: A little chat with the hosts, a couple of guests, some closing thoughts, a tune, and we're out. But when you've got our old friend and current White House chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow on the podcast just hours after some very strong economic news, well, you throw out your format and let Larry drive the bus. We talk to him about the economy, about the Fed, and a bit about his health (spoiler alert: he's doing great). Also, we belly up to the Barr, and Rob Long gives his take on the current cold war between Hollywood writers and their agents. Music from this week’s show: Hats Off To Larry by Dell Shannon

Kudlow, Gen X, and Tom Wolfe

After a rousing live edition of the podcast in DC, we're back on virtual home ground and we hit the ground running. First up, our old pal Larry Kudlow former Ricochet podcaster, current Director of the National Economic Council stops by to dish on the economy, Milton Friedman, working in the White House, and he declares a certain podcaster #NeverTrump (spoiler alert: it's not who you think it is). Next up: Matthew Hennessey stops by to chat about his new book Zero Hour For Gen X. Finally, some thoughts on the great Tom Wolfe, who passed away earlier this week from two who knew and admired him.

Ups and Downs

Who doesn't love a parade? Certainly not us. We also love a rising market, good explanations of complicated investigations, and clear and concise commentary on the economy. That's why we invited Andrew McCarthy and Larry Kudlow on this week's show. They ably guide us through both issues with clarity, good humor, and yes, a bit of scolding. Also, a Minnesotan's view of the Super Bowl and more about that bet with John Yoo. Music from this week's podcast: Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance

Cuba Libre

We're in that post-Thanksgiving tryptophan-induced, pre-Trump inaugural lull, folks. But that doesn't mean we don't bring the very best in digital talk. No sloughing off for us. We've got Trump inner circle denizen (and Ricochet Podcaster) Larry Kudlow sitting in for the making TV great again Rob Long. With Larry, we get the skinny on all the recent cabinet appointments and some insight into how the Trump administration may operate. Then, a close up look at Cuba with our guest Carlos Eire (his book Waiting for Snow in Havana: Confessions of a Cuban Boy is a must read). Then, TV's Rob Long actually does stop by to eat a little crow, talk some TV biz, and mix it up in general. ¡Viva Podcast!

The First 100 Days

Yeah, yeah, there was an election earlier this week, but we're all past that now. What will the first 100 days of the Trump administration look like? For that we (along with guest host Mona Charen) turn to the great Larry Kudlow, who has been a Trump supporter and advisor since the beginning of the campaign. Who will be, who will be out, what policies will be advocated, we cover it all. Also, some thoughts about the campaign and how we all move forward from #NeverTrump.

Chasing Pokémons

This week, Lileks is on vacation so we asked our good friend Larry Kudlow to sit in his chair as we welcome the Manhattan Institute's and Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley to the show to discuss the events of the last week. Yes, we also cover the presumptive nominee, and Larry makes a valiant effort to convince one of the hosts to support his candidate. Was Larry successful? Tune in to find out.

Breakfast In America

Let's get right to the point: we've got Larry Kudlow (shameless plug: listen to Kudlow and Pawlenty's Money & Politics podcast) who may or may not be the next Senator from Connecticut to school on why Donald Trump ought to be taken seriously and other matters both political and economic, followed by the great Michael Barone, who joins us from the side of the road in South Carolina. He breaks down the primary scene and gives us a look ahead as well. Finally, Bernie and Al break bread -- as one wag on Twitter put it, "guy who wants to raise taxes has breakfast with guy who doesn't pay them."
