Bigger In Texas

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

As we adapt to a world where Donald Trump is the Republican nominee for President, we figured we ought book some very grounded guests for this week's show. So listen in as we welcome Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The Governor has a new book, Broken But Unbowed: The Fight to Fix a Broken America. We also discuss bathrooms and his good friend Ted Cruz's plans for the future. Then, The Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes stops by to proclaim that he will never, ever, endorse Donald Trump, and goes deep into his reasoning. Sigh, it's going to be a long summer.

Music from this week’s episode:

Why Can't We Be Friends by War

The brand new opening sequence for the Ricochet Podcast was composed and produced by James Lileks.

    Haven't listened, yet... but I wonder if James/Peter/Rob were able to listen to the most recent Law Talk before interviewing Abbot.

    Richard and John were not terribly impressed, and I think addressing their concerns head on would be pretty interesting.
