Tom Cotton and The 30 Percent Chance

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

After a week off, we're back and putting our best foot forward with guests Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and our good friend and podcaster Professor Richard Epstein. The Senator talks to us about Iran, Guantanamo, and his controversial "endorsement" of Bernie Sanders. Speaking of Sanders, our hosts explain why they admire him and wish Republicans would emulate him. Yes, you read that right. Later, Richard Epstein stops by to explain why Ted Cruz can run for President despite being born in Canada and the surprising chances the gives that a certain Democratic Presidential candidate gets indicted. Finally, a long time ago in a far away place (Switzerland), Peter Robinson had dinner with David Bowie. Yes, you read that right too.

Music from this week’s episode:

Take It Easy by The Eagles

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

    Is that the diner on old Route 23 which is ten minutes away from wherever it is I happen to live?

    Because if it is, I'll be right over.
