What matters? Well, New York City for one. We get to that topic towards the end of this show, but prior to that we visit first with economist Kevin Warsh of the Hoover Institution. He has a lot to say about humongous stimulus packages, Congress, the role of China in this thing, and what the Fed should and shouldn't be doing. Then, newly minted Ricochet podcaster and chip the old block Spencer Klavan stops by to explain why he's a heretic and we're not (at least not yet). Needless to say (but we'll say it anyway), Young Heretics, his new podcast is a must listen. Finally, as promised -- a meditation on New York City, the lockdown, why it needs to end, and why what happens there matters for the rest of the country and yes, even the world. Yes, it really is up to you, New York, New York.

@jameslileks, with all of this uncertainty in the world... I think that there has never been a better time for you folks on the podcast to start throwing out predictions. Never before, in the history of Ricochet, has there been a more appropriate time for a segment ... which might be titled: "Next Week's BIG Story."

Did I just hear Rob say it would be a good thing for the rich people to leave NY so a younger creative class could move in? This, from a conservative without any regard for the jobs those rich people have created, not to mention the taxes they pay to help provide the city services? Surely I misunderstood remarks that sounded more like Bernie Sanders than a conservative.

He said that IF they leave the city would be fine in the long run, not that they NEED to leave. Meanwhile, that appears to be exactly what is occurring right now.
