Seditious TikTokin’

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

Much as the world benefit from a new dance craze, it would behoove us to ensure that China doesn't use our moves against us. Our first guest Geoffrey Cain is all too familiar with what the CCP can do with surveillance technology. He sits down with Rob, James and Charles to touch on the protesters, the extraordinary police state they're up against, and he tries to convince a skeptical Rob and James that TikTok is more than just really annoying.

Next we've got Andy McCarthy back on the show. He explains how the record has been straightened somewhat by the Oath Keepers' verdicts that came down on Tuesday. They get into the charges brought and the reasons the DOJ whiffed on 3 out of 5. There's also some talk on the crime wave and the prospects of a return to law and order in our cities.

Plus, the guys make fun of Charles for liking soccer!

    Mr. McCarthy seems to be under the impression that the Democrats “bungled” Trump’s second impeachment. I submit that the Democrats played the Senate Republicans like a fine violin. They, in no way, wanted or want Trump disqualified from the top of the Republican Totem pole.
    it is the Republicans that blew it by not finding Trump guilty in the SECOND impeachment trial.

    The R senators who voted to impeach Trump were fools.

    There's a possible guest out there to explain why we are in a post Constitutional Republic and instead we get someone to say the Constitution worked, it's fine. No acknowledgement that the DoJ is corrupt and the FBI is a rogue agency. Please invite Mr. Ellmers to be on. He'd be a wonderful guest.

    The thought had just crossed my mind that “Oh, Charles C.W. Cooke is there. This is probably not worth listening to.”

    When Cooke comes out with: “Elise Stefanik is a Trump creation.”

    Stefanik was elected to Congress in 2014.
