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.

Agree with him or not, our guest today is a man of true grit. Former Navy SEAL and representative of Texas' 2nd congressional district, Dan Crenshaw joins the podcast to discuss the Intel Community; the rising temperature of the conflict in Ukraine; and our very own border, which, you may have heard, has its own problemos.
Florida man Charlie Cooke is with us again, and he's got thought on football and his governor. James defies Twitter, comes out as pro-"the" and anti-peasantry; Peter still likes what we used to call chivalry.

The world cries for "Fill your hands you Sweet ol' Bobs" (or words to that effect).Crenshaw and Gallagher give us hope that we won't be coming with our dicks in our hands. Cite please : WWI, WWII. Korea, Vietnam...etc.

Haven't listened to this yet -- did his calling us "terrorists" come up? Anything on his deplorable cowardly speak-power-to-truth stance in the HFC speakership kerfuffle?
Talk about blowing your wad over small change -- or revealing too much. Either way, this has a precedent.
John McCain was a true hero -- until his behavior forced many of us to cleanly separate his admirable behavior back then from his miserable treachery and unacceptable attitude/motivations later.
Separation accomplished. This Eyepatch McCain Pinto (discount Maverick) fool could shut up and vote right if he wants anything but derision from us. But I bet he can't. He just can't shut up.
p.s. I did try to listen in live, but I got there as he was leaving, and it was a workday after all.

I support our efforts on behalf of Ukraine (national sovereignty being as important to practical liberty as freedom of speech), but I don’t find criticism, even sharp criticism, of our involvement out of line, as Congressman Crenshaw seems to. Better to say he disagreed with the 20’s tactics in the Speaker fight than to reveal that he’s taken on the DC tic of describing his GOP sparring partners as lightweights. … My biggest fear is that, despite the recent show of tanks, the U.S. and NATO will force Zelensky down the river of a negotiated peace and that that will be crushing to the Ukrainians: their cities destroyed, hundreds of thousands of dead soldiers on all sides, much of the world’s breadbasket despoiled, only to be back where they were on Feb. 23, 2022. The spreadsheet’s not looking good.

John McCain spent decades undermining the conservative movement, earning the love of the liberal media, so it’s a little — how can I put this tactfully — premature to compare Dan Crenshaw with him.
