While Peter's venturing about the real America, James is vacationing between the Hudson and East rivers so he can meet up with his pal Rob–and, more importantly!–fellow Ricochet members for our first pub crawl! We hope you won't miss it; but don't worry, we've got more events to come. (There's even a surprise announcement for our next one herein!)

First up is a man who needs no introduction. The indispensable Byron York is here to give us an up-close take on the blamey Biden administration, and how the Dobbs leak might change the political playing field. He's followed by Rich Goldberg, who's been keeping track of the world of cryptocurrency since before it became as chaotic as it has recently.

Our lovable hosts also delve into baby formula; the gamer scene's political shyness; developments in Ukraine; and they say a not-so-especially-fond farewell to Jen Psaki.

    Byron is wrong about people being in favor of keeping Roe v. Wade. In reality, people think that overturning Roe will outlaw 100% of abortions and that is unpopular. Most people, like 80% want abortion to be legal in the beginning and then not legal once a heartbeat is detected. The Dems have done a good job of brainwashing most folks on the legalities of Roe.

    In that case especially, the leak may have been a favor, since it allows a couple more months to debunk all of that nonsense, before the midterm elections.

    That and, how do those people think abortion will still be legal in the People's Republic of California et al, if overturning Roe did actually outlaw 100% of abortions?

    The President can't fire the Chief of Staff because the Chief of Staff is not in his employ. The President is in the employ of the Chief of Staff.

    Also, I suspect that Biden doesn't know any news about the country or the world other than what his staff and his wife tell him.

    @DongG If by 'people' you mean that % of Americans who are willfully illiterate and/or choose to ignore the Constitution if/when they read it and/or simply fall in line with the sentiments of the NYT and NPR and MSNBC and CNN.

    THEN I agree.

    But...in reality....the rest of us will take a deep breath and even read that Clarence Thomas said the LEAK is NOT the final opinion of each and every member of the SCOTUS. NOW if the decision is 4-4-1 or 5-4 to uphold ROE ---THEN you'll see a nascent revolution mature into a Longer/Hotter Summer than any of us anticipate.
