After a rousing live edition of the podcast in DC, we're back on virtual home ground and we hit the ground running. First up, our old pal Larry Kudlow former Ricochet podcaster, current Director of the National Economic Council stops by to dish on the economy, Milton Friedman, working in the White House, and he declares a certain podcaster #NeverTrump (spoiler alert: it's not who you think it is). Next up: Matthew Hennessey stops by to chat about his new book Zero Hour For Gen X. Finally, some thoughts on the great Tom Wolfe, who passed away earlier this week from two who knew and admired him.

Gee, this was sort of like the GLo podcast. That third guy at the beginning, but then smooth sailing.

I enjoyed hearing the boys tell stories of their encounters with Tom Wolfe.
Before The Right Stuff, he published a short story ("The Truest Sport: Jousting with Sam and Charlie") in Mauve Gloves & Madmen, Clutter & Vine about Naval Aviators flying off the carrier during the Viet Nam War. He had clearly done his research and thought deeply about the technicalities and about echoes of Western chivalry in late 20th Century air warfare. For a teenage boy it was a joy and an inspiration.
Thanks and RIP, Tom Wolfe.
