It's the Rikishay podcast with Peter Robinson and Rob Long.

I'm James Lillik's and guests.

We don't need no stinking guests.

It's question time.

You asked, we'll answer.

Strap in and let's have ourselves a podcast. Welcome, everyone. This is the Rickishay podcast, and it's question time. You asked, we'll answer. Strap in and let's have ourselves a podcast.

Welcome, everyone. This is the Ricoshae podcast and it's number 1981.

And in case you're wondering, gosh, who's it brought to you by this week?

It's Audible.com, of course, the leading provider of spoken audio information and entertainment.

You can listen to audiobooks whenever and wherever.

And however you want for that matter, go to A podcast.com slash ricochet and get a free audiobook and a 30-day trial. We'll tell you more about that later. And also by Encounterbooks. Our pick this week is a broadside, How Medicaid Fails the Poor by Ovik Roy. You've heard Ovik all over the place probably in the last couple of weeks, discussing the failure of Obamacare. Here's the guy in print telling you how Medicaid, a program that existed prior to Obamacare, of course, failed as well. And we'll be talking about that later. Encounterbooks.com. Coupon code, Rcochet, 15% off the list price for this or any other book, I do believe.

And there's more.

And here to give you more, and even more than the more that he usually gives you is Rob Long. Hey, Rob. Hey, James, how are you? Even more than the more I usually give you. That's right. Well, I'll give you a little bit more. Pitch it hard. I'm actually, I feel like I'm radio professional right now because I have my finger on the mute button because I have this terrible cough.

Oh, you too.

The cough button and you press it and you cough when you're on the radio. So I suddenly go mute. That's why I'm doing it. If you are listening to us and you are a member of ricochet.com, we thank you and we are proud and honored to have you as a fellow member along with the three of us. If you are listening to this and you are not a member of rickashet.com, I would like to ask you to please hit pause and go to rickettsay.com and join. Or if you're going to say to yourself right now, oh, you know what, I'll do it. I probably will do it. Really do it because we do

need you to join. We do need you become a member of Rikoshae. We are doing an experiment here,

trying to launch a community on the web of the center right between contributors, contributors

and members to have a great conversation together, civil, funny, witty, smart, illuminating.

We're trying to not only change the country, but change the web

and make it a place where good things happen and good conversation happens.

So we would like you to join, not because we want to get rich,

but because we need you to join to keep the business going.
