Discover the City of David

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

Since the Ricochet Podcast will be on hiatus next week, we've got a big episode to tide you over! We're not only jam packed with our extra gab time, but with today's guest Ze'ev Orenstein we head the birthplace of our grand Judeo-Christian tradition. His organization is excavating the City of David, making it possible for those currently celebrating Passover, Holy Week and Ramadan (or any curious visiter) the chance to walk through the awe-inspiring sites of their prophets, priests and kings.

The fellas also get into the disappointing elections in Chicago and Wisconsin; plus they touch on the outrageous culture war battles centered around Bud Light and Douglas Mackey.

Song of the Week: Hava Nagila

(The soundbite this week is Amb. John Bolton reacting to the Trump indictment on a CNN panel.)

    It's important to note that actual crime rates in places like New York City can't be judged on the basis of crime/police reports, because so much of it isn't even reported when people know that nothing will be done.

    In the current times and situation, when someone like Rob Long claims that crime is down in New York, the only sensible response is rolling the eyes and laughing.

    I agree with you but, unlike James who actually interacts with us on Ricochet, Rob will never respond to you about any of his malarkey.
