Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Ricochet Podcast Homework Assignment
Tomorrow on the Ricochet Podcast, we have two interesting guests: Angelo Codevilla, author of the much discussed essay “Does Trump trump?” And our old pal Mickey Kaus, whose immigration views are well-known, but has entered a public debate with Ann Coulter and others with a piece posted on his site last week. Your assignment: read both essays and then listen to the show tomorrow to hear what Peter Robinson and Rob Long have to say about them (James is off this week).
Also, in preparation for next week’s debate, we’re kicking the tires on a new live chat function and live podcast player exclusively for Ricochet members. Stop by here tomorrow at 12PM PT/3PM ET and listen to the podcast live (mistakes and bloopers included) and chat with your fellow members — and maybe even the podcasters themselves.

Who is going to join if they think you have to do homework?
The Micky Kaus piece is stellar.
I also loved him in Idiocracy as Secretary of Education, step-bother to President Camacho!
Plus Codvilla!!
Can’t wait.
I’m all in.
Good point!
No thanks. Ann’s last appearance on the podcast was enough to disqualify her commentary from now on.
Flagship podcast at noon?? I think Rob is at his best at 7am, tired and a little annoyed.
You’re spoiling the guys, Yeti.
For extra credit, read Angelo Codevilla’s America’s Ruling Class — And the Perils of Revolution. The immigration issue is a subset of the larger problem of the disconnected ruling class.
Crap, I missed NtK. I love podcast/chat. Thanks for bringing it back.
I was surprised by Ann’s willingness to call some polls/statistics “lies” on her last podcast. That usually gives opponents to her positions an easy way to dismiss her arguments.
But I am also very suspicious of some poll results and statistics. I’m sure methods and data exists that can accurately estimate the number of illegal aliens; but I’m even more certain the PTB manipulate that estimate to support the cause of amnesty.
