Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

Every so often, we dispense with the guests and just let the hosts riff on whatever comes to their minds. That's what we did for this week's show, as Peter, Rob, and James jam about Joe Biden entering the race, the politics of impeachment, the new found popularity of socialism, including Medicare For All and cancelling student loans (in certain sectors of the culture), and finally, Rob's (somewhat sad) impending departure from Venice, CA.

Music from this week's show: California by Lenny Kravitz

    What to make of the claim by many, on the left, that concluding "No collusion" from the Mueller Report, is only possible using a "beyond a reasonable doubt" going-to-prison standard. But if looked at just from a more practical "preponderance of evidence," Trump is - to quote the Doonesbury comics of decades ago - "GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!"

    Also, there are some other problems about food stamps. When people have no "skin in the game," so to speak, they may not be very careful about how it's used. I see lots of people doing their food stamps grocery shopping at Circle-K, where the prices might be double or triple what they'd "pay" (except THEY aren't really paying) at Kroger, Walmart, etc.
