Goodbye, Mr. Loaf

After an informative press conference with Mr. President, who better to take us through last year's stunning over-performance than Byron York? (Be sure to subscribe to his podcast, available right here on Ricochet!) Among other things, we go over Biden's plan to get out more; the dilemma of staff shakeups when the boss is the problem; and question of succession.

The hosts also get into the so-called voter rights bill that died, maskgate and the detritus on the Union Pacific railway. And ever wondered what Peter's favorite Meat Loaf song is? You'll have to listen to find out!

Music from this week's podcast: Two Outta Three Ain't Bad by Meat Loaf

    Not that it matters much what I think, but I just thought it was a very good show. Byron York seems like a pretty straight shooter - noted because I think it’s true, not because I think our hosts are not ;-) - Also love that James has the depth of knowledge or love of music, or both, to talk about afternoon opera and Meat Loaf in the same breath and that Peter can take a good-natured joke at his expense with his usual pleasant disposition. My only quibble is Rob wasn’t there to offer thoughts about the late Louie Anderson, a Minnesota treasure, or Mr. Loaf. Well done.
