The main topic? What else? The Coronavirus, which is roiling everything from the markets to the political arena and beyond. The Vice President is the new point man.
Then we get down to the nitty gritty of the race for the Democratic nomination with Luke Thompson and talk to a sensible Democrat about the environment as we're joined by the President of Environmental Progress, Michael Shellenberger, on why nuclear power is the way to go and his new book, Apocalypse Never.
And speaking of the Coronavirus, James gives us our Ricochet Member Post of the Week, which features a "returning champion."

So the founders have brought JL along to a deserted south sea island to escape the virus. Good forward thinking.

I love Rob’s turnaround since last week about what he can say about female candidates. I mean that sincerely. It’s about time progressive women start getting a taste of what equality will be like, and I applaud anybody who will be honest about this. I’ve gotten in too many 6 on 1 arguments with women that, in my opinion, that were started by my making the mistake of taking them seriously in their purported conviction.
Bravo, Brother Rob!

Great interviews.
If anyone else had Elisabeth Warrens long-term estrangement from the truth, they would not be in any elected office nor running for president. How can she think that anyone with her history could compete with Donald Trump on the topic of Truth? He is what he is and has always been true to that. I really believe that President Trump is the most genuine president in US history... Unfortunately he's genuinely Donald Trump.
Great points on nuclear energy. I have been a long term supporter of nuclear energy, particularly the Thorium fuel cycle and Molten Salt Reactors. I really believe that if environmental activists where serious about their crisis they'd be supporters of nuclear energy.
