The Senator and The Doctor

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

No, we did not book Rand Paul on this supersized edition of The Big Show (90 minutes of clever and civil conversation!), we booked Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) to discuss the stimulus packages (speaking of super-sized), the federal government's response to the crisis, and a boots-on-ground report from Ohio. And our good friend and go to authority on all things medical, Dr. George Savage checks up on us and gives an update on the models (no, not those kind of models), the research, and whether sheltering at home and shutting down the economy is actually working. This week's Lileks Post of The Week (we'll get that jingle timed correctly one of these days -- promise) asks us not to mock Joe Biden (eh, maybe...), and Rob Long saunters around a deserted Manhattan and has some thoughts.

Music from this week's show: Taking A Walk by John Prine

Hosted by James Lileks, Peter Robinson, and Rob Long, with guests Dr. George Savage and Rob Portman

    I, for one, will continue to mock Joe Biden as long as he is trying to gain power.

Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
