Citizens of Philadelphia are the latest victims of "wilding nights," watching helplessly as chortling teens smash storefronts and ransack the goods inside. These aren't unheard of events, but they're becoming more frequent. To sort out the ideologies and policies that got our cities conditioned to this, and the hard work it'll take to get us back in shape, Manhattan Institute's Rafael Mangual — author of Criminal (In)justice returns to the Ricochet Podcast.
On theme, James and guest hosts Charles Cooke and Jon Gabriel talk 70s vigilante flicks, and have a few words to say about Dianne Feinstein, John Fetterman's new attire and Wednesday's debate.

I have already proposed a remake of The Excorcist with Peter as Father Damien and Rob in the Linda Blair role. We are currently bickering over who has to clean the rug.

Why is it whenever I hear the word, feisty, it's always referring to an old person?
While, strictly speaking, this doesn't match the definition, when I think of someone as being feisty, I think of a "get off my lawn" old person, or Grampa Simpson yelling at clouds.
It's patronizing.

Love James asking who the "Bad" rapist was in Death Wish.
