It takes a special occasion to take The Big Show® to bigger things and higher heights. What's bigger than the AEI/Ricochet Podcast Summit? Try the 400th episode of our aural extravaganza. There are ruminations on the changes in our nation's capital since the Reagan years, presidential portraits and Korean water heaters. (Yeah, Korean water heaters.) Meanwhile, Peter attempts a variety of new Ricochet marketing slogans.

Music from this week's show: River of Dreams by Billy Joel.

    Oh excellent. Great job guys! I live in the outer northern VA suburbs and don't often venture up into the swamp of DC, but we did drive into town for the Mad Dogs podcast and enjoyed it. But, one thing that I found truly awful about DC, is the state of the roads! You'd think all those rich lobbyists in their Teslas would disappear down some of those potholes! Despite all the flashy new restaurants and stores, the city is still run by democrats and it shows.

    I agree the behavior of the left and the media is almost enough to turn me into a Trumper. But, I am not.

    My A-HA moment was when I was sitting in a bar called the federalist that isnt there anymore eating a charcutere plate, after having done some grant work for rural Indiana, and I looked around at these palaces of marble and glass, and men in fancy suits, and I realized that all of this was taken from the mouths of the family of a toothless farm hand in the Midwest.

    An army of killdozers is coming (and if you look into the grievances of the man behind the killdozer and its a perfect metaphor).
