The Policy, Not the Mouth

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

On this episode of The Big Show® we take you back to last night's 74th Annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner where Rob offers a first hand report. The guest of honor was former Defense Secretary (and Marine Corps legend) James Mattis and, of course, the main topic in the hall was the current situation in Syria with Turkey and the Kurds. (The General's full remarks can be watched on the Fox News Facebook page.)

Then it's off to the City by the Bay with Heather Mac Donald, where she recounts buying fentanyl on the streets and how a great American city has fallen hostage to its homeless population.

To wrap things we cover the current state of the 2020 race for the White House, including Elizabeth Warren's "zinger" on gay marriage.

Music from this week’s show: I Left My Heart in San Francisco by (Who else?) Tony Bennett.

    Not quite what you asked for; Trump supporters who are willing to criticize Trump's Syria policy.

    Here are people who dislike Trump, and even think he was wrong in Syria, who don't think he was completely wrong. They lay out all problems in Syria and with our relationship to the Kurds that are brought up in this discussion.

    “Dolan is a politician”. What a terrible indictment of the cardinal archbishop. He needs to ditch the politics and start being a shepherd.

    ”The politicians have stiffed him”. That’s what happens when you behave like a politician. He lets them get away with it.

    No, that's unkind. But really, look at this:
