What Is This Thing?

It's #Throwback Thursday here on the Ricochet Podcast as we go old skool with just Peter Robinson and Rob Long hosting and we're joined by long standing podcast guest Mickey Kaus, who returns to discuss his thought provoking essay Coulter's Challenge on --what else-- immigration. Then, Angelo Codevilla, he of the now famous column Does Trump Trump? He also proposes a shall we say, interesting theory on same sex marriage. You'll want to hear it, trust us on this one.

Thanks to all who joined us in the live chat today -- it was a ton of fun.

Peter you really are trying to provoke us. You ask "How can it be!" Two words, money and influence.

Walker is not my first candidate, but he said he would phase out subsidies, not keep them forever or end them immediately. He also compromised by exempting the police and firefighters unions from his changes to the public employee laws. Because of that he's the hero and Kasich is the goat on this issue.

Trump is a special type of class clown: He's the guy who asks the question everybody wants to ask but is afraid to.
