Andy McCarthy returns to help us get through the shocking discovery that maybe it's possible that the Bidens are a little bit not entirely 100 percent ethical. This week we've got money laundering, not one but two prostitutes; there's another big chapter in the border crisis, and a good samaritan being charged for trying to protect New Yorkers on the increasingly infamous subway.

And as if our hosts are going to talk about American cities two weeks in a row without having a word about architecture... Pshaw!

Song of the week:

  • Sound clip is an exchange between Donald Trump and Kaitlan Collins from the CNN town hall.
Hosts:
•James Lileks•Peter Robinson•Rob Long

    When Peter said he was going to tell a brief story about New York, Rob and James both should have yelled "Fifty Bucks says it's not!"

    When Peter said he was going to tell a brief story about New York, Rob and James both should have yelled “Fifty Bucks says it’s not!”

    That would've been hypocritical of me, considering my 47 minute concluding speech on the necessity of big cities.

    But you didn't claim it would be short, did you? Peter did.

    The observation that decline is a choice is certainly true but misleadingly simple. It reminds me of when I tried to put down linoleum in the kitchen of a small apartment I rented some three decades ago. The area was pretty small. A cinch, right? The instructions outlined three steps. The first: “Prepare the surface.” These three little words ended up extracting a weekend of toil as I struggled—with grossly inappropriate tools—to strip away the numerous levels of old linoleum that had adhered to the floor like layers of cement in an effort to make the surface as smooth as possible. Once all that was done, cutting and laying down the linoleum was a breeze. So, what’s the first step in stopping decline? Agreeing on the surface.

    Peter, McCarthy doesn't need to pass more toothless legislation. He needs to impeach people and use the power of the purse to accomplish things.
