Don’t Self-Impeach -- You’ll Go Blind

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

This week on America's most beloved political podcast, we get deep in the weeds on impeachment: can it happen, how would it work, and the politics surrounding it. But first, we travel to Venezuela where our intrepid correspondent Annika Rothstein, who tells a harrowing story that we won't spoil here (yes, we know the audio on her segment was sub-par -- socialists run lousy telecommunications operations. Go figure.). Then, if you want to understand a possible Constitutional crisis, you should ask a Constitutional law professor. Luckily, we have John Yoo on speed dial (kids, ask your parents what speed dial is). He delves into the legal ramifications of impeachment and contempt of Congress before he had to rush off to his next TV hit. Do read his Washington Post op-Ed for more detail. Finally, we wrap up with another edition of our "Handicap The Democratic Field" segment. Who's up? Who's down? Who's going nowhere fast? We break it all down for you (spoiler alert: It's been a bad few weeks for Beto).

Music from this week's show: Matilda by Harry Belafonte

Hosted by James Lileks, Peter Robinson, and Rob Long, with guests ARAnnika Rothstein and JYJohn Yoo

    @AnnikaHernrothRothstein, get out and stay out. Really. Go someplace safe, like Iraq or Chechnya or Ukraine/Crimea.

    I'm wearing an R because that's my middle name.

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.
