After a brief hiatus, The Ricochet Podcast returns with nothing short of revolution on its mind. Our guest this week: the

great Charles Murray, to discuss his latest book By the People: Rebuilding Liberty Without Permission, an argument for civil disobedience. Will it catch on? Also, who are the top ten GOP candidates, should our candidates appear on George Stephanopoulos's show (h/t Ricochet member Brian Watt), and will Elian Gonzalez become a propaganda symbol if he visits the U.S. (another h/t to Ricochet member Richard Anderson). Finally, how should have Jeb Bush answered that question on the Iraq War? Our panel weighs in.

    Rob, James and Peter - Thanks for the multiple shout-outs and discussion about my Stephanopoulos posting. Much appreciated.

    As noted in the ensuing comments of the post, Republican candidates when pressed to answer idiotic questions, to Rob's point in the podcast, may use the following rejoinders with my permission:

    “Are you asking that question as a presumed journalist or as a Clinton campaign operative?” “Gee, is that you asking the question or Hillary Clinton?”

    All the best!
