A couple of times a year, we assemble our far flung editorial staff (that’s Troy Senik, Jon Gabriel, Claire Berlinski, and Tom Meyer) on the Ricochet Podcast and let them riff on the issues of the day and give some dap to their favorite Ricochet member posts of the recent past. And in this, the last show of the Summer of Trump®, that’s exactly what we’ve done. Spoiler alert: Lileks checks in from... Source

As promised, this week we present a debate on what popularly known as anchor babies — the idea that any child born in the U.S.A is automatically a U.S. citizen no matter what the immigration status of the parents may be.

It’s the dog days of summer and that means we load the podcast up with a panoply of guests. To kick things off, the great Victor Davis Hanson, who opines on the academic view of Trump and the Iran deal. Then, the dulcet tones of David Limbaugh (aka El Rush Bro) joins. Yep, he also has some views on The Donald as well as Hillary. Not to be missed. Finally, stick around as we give some podcast fame... Source

This week, a full recap of last night’s debate, Who lost, who won, who got trumped, who’s campaign is probably over, whose campaign got a big boost.

Long and Lileks are away, but that’s OK — we’re in extremely capable hands with guest hosts Troy Senik and Need To Know’s Mona Charen.

This week, a discussion of the many wonders of the universe, from Donald Trump’s candidacy, to AEI president Arthur Brook’s vision for the conservative heart (buy his book, The Conservative Heart: How to Build a Fairer, Happier, and More Prosperous America), and of course, Pluto. On that topic, let’s just say that Rob and James have a more romantic outlook than Peter. Music from this week’s... Source

A busy news week mean we have to book the best experts to parse what’s important and what’s not. This week, we call on Ricochet podcaster (on hiatus) and Perry campaign advisor Avik Roy to help talk us through what the fallout will be from the SCOTUS ACA decision that came down last week. Also, he gives some insight on Perry’s speech on race and why the Texas economy is the best in the country. Source
