The Ricochet Podcast

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. Our debaters: Constitutional law professor and Ricochet podcast host John Yoo and author, lawyer, and columnist Ann Coulter. Not much else to say about this show except do the... Source

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. Also, is Senator Shumer’s opposition to the Iran deal sincere or just politics? All answers lie within, so tune in.

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... Source

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, we’re joined by Senator Tom Cotton to discuss the Iran deal (or lack thereof). Then, the Weekly Standard’s Andrew Ferguson stops by to discuss Hillary, Trump, and Buster (his dog). Andy’s participation makes it an official quorum of White House... Source

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

This week on the Ricochet Podcast, we cover the SCOTUS rulings with the best panel anywhere on the internets: Ricochet Editor emeritus Mollie Hemingway stops by to give perspective on how the media covered the rulings, and Ricochet contributor Adam Freedman (buy his new book, A Less Perfect Union) visits to give us the legal rationale — as well as a way the ruling might be circumvented. Also... Source

Today on the Ricochet Podcast, a rare three guest show: first, the dean of political pundits Michael Barone stops by to give us the low down on Trump, Jindal, and the rest of the field. Then, our own Richard Epstein (aka “The Human Paragraph”) stops by to opine on King v. Burwell (spoiler alert: Professor Epstein thinks the court got it wrong), and finally. R.R. Reno, Editor of First Things joins... Source

Also, the future of education... Source
