The main topic? What else? The Coronavirus, which is roiling everything from the markets to the political arena and beyond. The Vice President is the new point man.

Then we get down to the nitty gritty of the race for the Democratic nomination with Luke Thompson and talk to a sensible Democrat about the environment as we're joined by the President of Environmental Progress, Michael Shellenberger, on why nuclear power is the way to go and his new book, Apocalypse Never.

And speaking of the Coronavirus, James gives us our Ricochet Member Post of the Week, which features a "returning champion."

Music from this week's show: Carolina in the Morning by Dean Martin
