Ben Domenech returns to the Ricochet Podcast to give a progress report on Trump's second go at running things. James, Charles and Steve glean insights about the builder from Queens as Ben divulges details from his long sitdown with the president in February.

Plus, the hosts rap on the pope from Chicago, Germany's lurch toward state censorship, series worth a watch, and pieces worth a read.

- Sound from this week's open: a clip from Ben's interview with Trump.

Hosted by Charles C. W. Cooke, James Lileks, and Steve Hayward, with guest Ben Domenech

    OK. The discussion about “Go down to the town and get me 20 Rothmans” from the Monty Python “Happy Valley” sketch got me to finally join.

    By the way, I was disappointed when, upon Mitzi Gaynor’s passing a few months ago, the legacy media made no mention of the wooden teeth of which she so treasured.

Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
