How does collective guilt differ from the concept of Original Sin? Is there really such a thing as an “Original Sin of slavery?” How far ought collective guilt, or even collective exoneration, to extend? Dave sat down with DC McAllister to hash out these topics and a great deal more in a free-wheeling conversation that we believe you’ll find quite compelling. As Dave wrote... Source
This week, Dave sat down with Ricochet Contributor (and NRA instructor) Kevin Creighton to talk about all things related to firearms and self defense. Along the way, we gain valuable perspective on the Las Vegas shooting, the changing demographics of gun ownership, firearm ideas for senior citizens, and even Professor Walter Russell Mead’s thesis on the implosion of the blue state model of...

At the conclusion of a long day, Dave Carter and Mollie Hemingway (Fox News Contributor, Senior Editor at The Federalist, and Ricochet Alum) sat down for a free-wheeling discussion of everything from the horrific shooting in Las Vegas to life at Fox News, bipartisan political intransigence, Presidential intrigue, and a certain Ricochet Alum who also frequents FNC from time to time.

Our own Dave Carter sat down with Ricochet member, veteran, and longtime friend Bob Lee for some frivolity and a bit of sober analysis on current headlines from a gentleman who, by virtue of his mind and life experience, is eternally interesting. Given that into every sober conversation a little lunacy must fall, Dave’s Cajun friend, Alphonse Fontenot, called in to talk dating, baseball... Source
Our own Dave Carter sits down this week with Dr. Rob Tibbitts, who is a local pastor and disaster relief coordinator in Vinton, Louisiana, a town which has been devastated by two major floods within the last 18 months. Dr. Tibbitts is also Dave’s brother in-law, and Dave describes the conversation as being, “in equal parts, heartbreaking and uplifting,” adding, “It’s a story about people of meager... Source
Want to know what life in Special Forces is like? Want to hear a sober assessment of War on Terror strategy from a career Special Forces officer? Want a glimpse of duty and service on an entirely different level? Listen in as Dave Carter talks with Ricochet member @BossMongo and you’ll hear all this and much more — like, where did the nickname Boss Mongo come from in the first place? Source
With current headlines ranging from bad to hideous, Dave thought it might be worthwhile to hit some of the more notable moments from his recent interviews with Pat Sajak, Emily Esfahani Smith, David Deeble, Dave Sussman, DC McAllister, and his fellow military buddies, Bob Lee and Pat Murphy. If you’d like to just relax and smile for a bit, you’ve come to the right place. Source
In what Dave Carter describes as his favorite Radio Deplorable podcast to date, he sits down with two of his best friends, both of whom are military retirees, and both of whom served alongside Dave. Pat Murphy, an Air Force Public Affairs specialist, served with Dave in Korea, and Bob Lee, an Air Force Historian, recruited Dave into the Military Historian career field some 30 years ago. Source
Our old friend DC McAllister recently wrote a fascinating article at The Federalist titled, “Why Demanding Equality in All Things Makes Us Narcissists.” Which prompted Dave Carter to sit down with DC and explore the issue in-depth. We think you’ll find their exchange interesting, to say the least. Source
Our own Dave Carter recently sat down with our own Susan Quinn to discuss her recent Ricochet post, It’s Time To Fight Back, which evidently is a reversal of sorts for Susan. Dave writes, “whereas she previously took more of a live-and-let-live approach to attacks from the left, Susan has decided that if we on the right don’t fight back, and do so aggressively and relentlessly, we risk losing the...

What do you get when you put Dave Carter, Dave Sussman, and David Deeble on the same podcast (other than preliminary plans for world domination)? As Dave Carter described the conversation, “It was, in turn, nuts, hilarious, serious, and analytical. In other words, you could rope us off and charge admission to view.” After some initial difficulty figuring out how to do a three-way Skype call... Source
In this episode, Dave Carter sits down with Ricochet Member Mike LaRoche to discuss Mike’s journey from loyal Republican supporter to ex-Republican and ardent supporter of President Trump. Along the way, the good professor hands out grades to the Trump Administration on everything from Foreign Policy to the Veteran’s Administration, Border Security and more, all with the birds chirping in the...

This week, Dave Carter sits down with author and Ricochet Alumna Emily Esfahani Smith for a very enjoyable conversation about her new book, “ The Power of Meaning.” A lifelong student of philosophy, Emily holds a Master’s Degree in Positive Psychology and writes on culture, psychology and relationships as a columnist for The New Criterion, as well as The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Source
In the latest installment of Radio Deplorable, Dave Carter invites Ricochet’s (and Whiskey Politics’) Dave Sussman onto the program to discuss his recent post (Blood on Their Hands), which generated a veritable avalanche of commentary. As Dave Carter noted, “I thought it might prove interesting to give Dave Sussman a chance to expand, clarify, reiterate, etc. He did all of that and more... Source
In the middle of the whirlwind of self-inflicted and or fabricated scandals surrounding the Trump administration, somewhere between cynicism and excuse-making, you will find Dave Carter, a scotch in one hand and a microphone in the other and a few observations to make. You’ll find those observations and more on Radio Deplorable. Source
Our own Dave Carter sat down with our own Pat Sajak for a relaxing conversation that covered everything from Pat’s experiences working on a truck dock as a young man, to the military experiences of Pat and Dave (along with the veterans in their families). Before long, their chat veered into Wheel of Fortune territory and what the show has come to mean to so many people, along with the impact the... Source
Dave is breaking in some new equipment and now he’s like a kid in a candy store, with the new fangled mixer, studio mic, and related accessories transporting him back to his days in radio. Just for the fun of it, he’s recorded an “air check,” which is basically a truncated version of what he used to do on the radio. The good news for us is that Dave’s old Cajun friend, Alphonse Fontenot... Source
Question: What do you get when you cross a constitutional attorney with a trucker? Answer: If the attorney is Mr. Robert Hutton and the trucker is our own Dave Carter, you get a truly interesting conversation. Dave agreed to tame at least some of Radio Deplorable’s wild audio effects and such — well, at least there are no bombs and breaking glass in this one — and visit the office of Memphis based... Source
After a long day on the road, Dave Carter sat down with Ricochet’s very own @DocJay for a free wheeling discussion on everything from Rocky Mountain Oysters to concierge medical practices and the future of American medical care generally (hint: It isn’t exactly peachy). Regardless of the prognosis, we think you’ll enjoy the conversation. Source
Someone once said that, “Home is not where you live but where they understand you.” For our own Dave Carter, that place is deep in the bayous of Louisiana, where he finds people who work hard, play hard, and live life to the fullest. Whether they understand Dave is one matter, but there’s no mistaking the connection that both Dave and his wonderful bride have with these good people — a connection... Source
“These are the times that try men’s souls,” wrote Thomas Paine over two centuries before Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi began trying the soul of an entire nation. Our own Dave Carter was feeling especially soulful after some news events last week, and decided to voice his thoughts on a special edition of Radio Deplorable. The resulting podcast was written, produced, edited, mixed... Source
There is a place for politics, but not necessarily every place. Convinced that some aspects of life should remain beyond that gritty business, Dave Carter sat down for a conversation with someone he describes as, “a generous, wise, and grand lady.” Ruth Allen has seen enough to fill several volumes on life’s most important lessons. A Native American Indian, Ms. Allen has served as the Commissioner... Source
Sometimes, the temptation to take a symbol, or even a term of disparagement, and turn it against one’s opponents, particularly when those opponents specialize in smug condescension, is difficult to resist. So Dave Carter didn’t bother trying. Resistance takes too much energy anyway, and he’d rather use that energy having fun and chatting with his fellow deplorables. The idea of Radio Deplorable is...
