Are Trump Allies Trying To Sabotage GOP In Georgia?

Ricochet Audio Network — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 16:42:37 +0000

Wednesday witnessed one of the most extraordinary events in recent political history. With two critical Senate races underway in Georgia — with Republican control of the Senate at stake — two prominent allies of a Republican president traveled to the state to urge voters not to vote for Republican candidates.

Three Words: Special Counsel Durham

Ricochet Audio Network — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 15:57:28 +0000

Attorney General William Barr has appointed John Durham as special counsel investigating the Trump-Russia investigation. Durham's new status will make it harder for Biden to fire him. It also clears the way for a public report. And that means we will learn more about the FBI's effort to target the 2016 Trump campaign. People who expected top officials to be led away in handcuffs expected too much. This is significant.

What Standard of Proof for Hunter Biden’s Laptop?

Ricochet Audio Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 03:50:53 +0000

Remember the dossier? Many journalists (not to mention the FBI) worked hard to confirm its allegations against Donald Trump. They failed miserably. But even then, some Democrats, and their allies in the press, refused to admit the dossier was BS. Instead, they argued that since it had not been proven untrue, it must be true. With that in mind, what standard of proof should apply to the Hunter Biden story? One thing is certain: Republicans and conservatives should not fall into the "not proven untrue" trap. It's the wrong standard to apply to serious allegations. Instead, media organizations should be working to confirm the details of the Hunter Biden emails. If they succeed, they've got a big story. If they fail, they can report that the story could not be confirmed. It's a very simple approach -- too bad many news organizations are not following it.

Impeachment? Again???!!! A talk with Devin Nunes

Ricochet Audio Network — Thu, 24 Sep 2020 23:23:35 +0000

Republican Rep. Devin Nunes has been in the middle of Trump wars on Capitol Hill. In this podcast, we discuss some scenes from my new book, Obsession: Inside the Washington Establishment's Never-Ending War on Trump, in which he played a prominent role. Like, what happened when Republicans took over the secret room where Democrats were conducting their secret impeachment inquiry? What about Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman? What was his relationship to the whistleblower? And did Nancy Pelosi really threaten to impeach President Trump again, right away?

What’s really happening at the Post Office — No, it’s not a scandal

Ricochet Audio Network — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 22:57:09 +0000

It's like Russiagate all over again, this time with the Post Office. The news is filled with reports of President Trump's "assault" on the U.S. Postal Service. The president, Democrats say, is deliberately slowing mail delivery and crippling the Postal Service so that it cannot handle an anticipated flood of voting by mail in the presidential election. Former President Barack Obama says Trump is trying to "kneecap" the Postal Service to suppress the vote. Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the president is trying to "sabotage" the Post Office. The only problem: It's just not true. Herewith, a commonsense explanation of what's going on.

Who Won’t Accept Election Results?

Ricochet Audio Network — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 22:49:39 +0000

You've been hearing it for a long time: President Trump will refuse to accept the election results if he loses in November. But now, a secretive group of former government officials has worked through a number of scenarios for the election, and guess what they found? War-gaming a scenario in which Trump lost the popular vote but won in the Electoral College -- in other words, won the presidency -- they found that it was Joe Biden and the Democrats who would not accept the election results. All hell broke loose, as a matter of fact. And then there was the "rogue individual" scenario...

A Big Book Announcement, Plus Conflicting Stories Out Of Portland

Ricochet Audio Network — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 21:06:10 +0000

This is the first "Byron York Show" podcast since February. Even though it's the no chit-chat podcast, I need to explain what's been going on. The short version: I have written a book. It's about the long effort to remove President Trump from office, and it will be published on September 8. The title is Obsession: Inside the Washington Establishment's Never-Ending War on Trump, and if you would like to pre-order, here is the Amazon page. In this new podcast, I discuss some of the reasons why I wrote it. There's some news in the book, and I'll be talking about that a lot more as we get nearer to publication. Also on this episode: The latest on the riots in Portland. Why do the Trump administration and the governor of Oregon seem to be saying such different things about their so-called agreement on the future of federal law enforcement in the city?

37. Trump Not Tired Of Winning: Impeachment Edition

Ricochet Audio Network — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 01:03:11 +0000

So now the Senate has acquitted President Trump on both articles of impeachment. It is the end of a Senate trial marked by wild predictions and intense speculation. So with it all over, it's time to look at the things that were said about the trial -- Republicans will defect! John Roberts will take charge! -- and judge them against what actually happened. Plus: Is anyone surprised by Mitt Romney's decision to vote to convict the president on one article? Not if they've been watching Romney for more than a couple of minutes. And finally: The prediction I got wrong.

36. Live From Iowa: Talking Joe Biden with Mollie Hemingway

Ricochet Audio Network — Mon, 03 Feb 2020 22:27:06 +0000

A special edition from Iowa, where Democrats are struggling with a number of unpalatable options in their presidential caucuses. The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway got her first chance to observe the 2020 version of Joe Biden in action, and her reaction is...not entirely optimistic for the former vice president's chances. Meanwhile, President Trump is making an all-out effort in Iowa not to win the caucuses -- he's guaranteed to do that -- but to put a key swing state in the Trump column for the general election before Democrats even choose a candidate.

35. Behind The Scenes Of The New Clarence Thomas Movie

Ricochet Audio Network — Mon, 27 Jan 2020 03:04:11 +0000

On Friday a new movie, "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas In His Own Words," will open in theaters across the country. The most striking thing about it is obvious from the beginning: The famously publicity-shy Supreme Court justice is talking. A lot. Thomas spoke to filmmaker Michael Pack for 30 hours -- yes, 30 hours -- of interviews. What emerges is a deeply personal look at a consequential historical figure who has shunned personal revelations for nearly all of his life. In this podcast, Pack talks about Thomas' life and how 30 hours of interviews turned into an extraordinary film. For more, see justicethomasmovie.com

34. The White House Strikes Back

Ricochet Audio Network — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 01:24:18 +0000

Democrats and their allies in the press have been saying President Trump simply has no defense against articles of impeachment. Hill Republicans made the case for the president, but the fact is, the White House had not produced any comprehensive defense in the nearly four months since impeachment began. Until now. In a 110-page memo, White House lawyers make the process arguments that have been widely discussed. But they also go deeply into the substance of the Trump-Ukraine matter -- more deeply than Democrats ever predicted they would. In this solo podcast, Byron takes a look at the arguments Republicans will be making in the contentious days and weeks ahead.

33. Deep Impeachment With Jim Jordan

Ricochet Audio Network — Fri, 17 Jan 2020 22:12:23 +0000

The Senate impeachment trial of President Trump begins in earnest Tuesday. Nobody knows the charges better than Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, who was there for every step of impeachment's way in the House. The articles of impeachment are actually quite brief, and we go line-by-line through the accusations against the president. Jordan answers them all -- he appears to be able to recite key documents by heart -- and argues that the Senate should simply dismiss the case before the trial even begins. A preview from a key player in the House.

32. Devin Nunes Talks

Ricochet Audio Network — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 22:39:16 +0000

Impeachment, the Horowitz report, FISA, battling the FBI, suing CNN, trolling Adam Schiff for getting so much of it wrong -- Devin Nunes has a lot to talk about. He goes into detail about how he discovered the FBI's abuses during the Trump-Russia investigation, and how he faced obstacle after obstacle in his work to make them public. Then, after the Mueller report came out, did he foresee Democrats turning on a dime to impeach President Trump over Ukraine? (Spoiler alert: No.) All that and more in a wide-ranging discussion with the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee.

31. Democrats Scramble To Sell Impeachment

Ricochet Audio Network — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 22:31:58 +0000

Democrats are making up impeachment as they go along. They're sensitive to accusations that they're rushing -- but they're rushing. Adam Schiff says Democrats have to act quickly because President Trump presents an imminent danger to the country and must be removed ASAP. For her part, Nancy Pelosi says it's not a rush at all, because the impeachment investigation is really a continuation of the years-long Russia probe. "This isn't about Ukraine," she said. "It's about Russia." Really? Meanwhile, Republicans -- and no one else, apparently -- are upset about Schiff's decision to publish the phone records of the president's personal attorneys, a journalist, and a fellow member of Congress. All in this week's impeachment edition of The Byron York Show.

30. Has Impeachment Peaked?

Ricochet Audio Network — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 21:06:27 +0000

Republican Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, sat through all the impeachment depositions, and then all the hearings. He talks about dealing with the witnesses-Vindman, Sondland, Hill, and others-and sees some waning in impeachment enthusiasm. Polls seem to show that, too. So are Democrats irreversibly committed? Are they on board with what Chairman Schiff is telling them? And on an insanely unrelated note: Did you know that Rep. Stewart has flown around the world faster than any other person?

29. Special Impeachment Preview, Starring Lt. Col. Vindman

Ricochet Audio Network — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 23:55:23 +0000

With public impeachment hearings starting on Capitol Hill, it's time to look at what the witnesses actually said in those secret Democratic depositions. The star of the show, whenever he is scheduled to testify, will be Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. The National Security Council staffer showed up in full dress uniform -- the first witness who actually heard the Trump-Zelensky call -- and was celebrated in the press. But it turned out his performance in the deposition was a bit different from all that glowing media coverage. Let's take a look inside...

Now, he's watching the House race to impeachment again, this time under Democrats and in a very different way. Amid much Republican complaining, do Democrats have the authority to conduct impeachment as they are conducting it? Is it constitutional? Unconstitutional? Anti-constitutional?

Today, a look at two key parts of the impeachment battle that have been the subject of a lot of inaccurate commentary but which we're finally learning more about. First is the now-infamous Mick Mulvaney news conference; just what concerns did President Trump have before withholding, and later approving, U.S. aid to Ukraine? Second is a look inside Adam Schiff's impeachment inquiry interviews. You've seen the leaks. Do they really tell the whole story? (Spoiler alert: No, they don't.)

Mollie talks through it all, plus looks at the agenda behind the brutal attacks on Kavanaugh, and predicts what could happen if President Trump has to fill another Court vacancy.

The world waited for Robert Mueller to testify about his Trump-Russia report. And then, when the moment came, the story quickly turned into the state of Mueller himself. Slow, confused, not up on his own investigation, Mueller's performance denied Democrats their desire to turn his report into a "movie" that would capture the imagination of millions of Americans. We talk with Eric Felten, who has written some of the most perceptive pieces around on the Mueller report and the politics behind it.

How much hucksterism is good? Was there strategy behind Trump's professional wrestling antics? And what about the president's near-death experience with debt?
