In a recent post, Ricochet member anonymous posits that the U.S. has become "an unserious country." Today, we do our best to dispel that notion just a bit (despite the disturbing image above from EJHill) with our guests economist Russ Roberts from the Hoover Institution as well as his legendary EconTalk podcast and Fox News chief Washington correspondent James Rosen (read his new book Cheney One on One). In our attempt to be serious, we cover inequality, Ben Carson's many controversies, Kentucky's new governor, the Bush-Cheney squabble, and the upcoming debate. Also, don't miss James Rosen's spot on impersonation of Barack Obama. Seriously.

Rod and Peter, when are you going to accept the fact that The Politico and The NYT, et. al, are either lying or at least trying to grossly mislead you?
When you see a damaging story about a Republican in those publications, wait 24 hours to find out the truth.
