The Daily Signal - #370: Seinfeld Caught Up in Political Correctness

Seinfeld is one of the highest grossing sitcom's of all time, but in 2019 it's rubbing some young people the wrong way. Are those concerns justified? We discuss in today's episode. Plus: It’s Week 3 of the partial government shutdown, and the president and Democrats are no closer to an agreement. Democratic leaders are quick to point out the plight of federal workers not receiving pay, but as Heritage budget expert Justin Bogie explains, that's not the full story.We also cover these stories:--President Trump will address the nation amid the shutdown, then travel to the U.S.-Mexico border.--Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg misses Supreme Court arguments for first time ever.--President Trump modifies his Syria plan, but denies backtracking on withdrawal.--Democrats created a bogus right-wing group in Alabama to scare voters away from the Republican candidate.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.

World Book Club - Lee Child – Killing Floor

World Book Club talks to one of the world’s leading thriller writers, British-born Lee Child. Killing Floor is the first book in the internationally popular Jack Reacher series and presents the all-action hero for the first time, as the tough ex-military cop of no fixed abode: a righter of wrongs, and not a man to mess with.

Early one morning Reacher jumps off a bus in the middle of nowhere and walks 14 miles down an empty country road. The minute he reaches the town of Margrave he is thrown into jail. As the only stranger in town a local murder is blamed on him, but as nasty secrets leak out, and the body count mounts, one thing is for sure: They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.
