Another New Yorker in a scandal so Anthony takes a fond look back at the slow moving resignation of Boris Johnson and wonders what we can learn from the totally entertaining British political system. Would Joe Biden survive a vote of confidence right now? You know PMQ would be LOL fun!  Also this week, Anthony gives an update on his strenuous arguments with his new fitness tracker and his cloak of darkness efforts to clean up Jordan’s room while he is away at camp. The music today makes us wonder, is there such a thing as a Two Hit Wonder?

Episode 15 – Happy Birthday America and Get Well Soon

Anthony keeps a stiff upper lip this week in honor of Independence Day. Trying not to notice the world is on fire, he catches up on the latest head scratcher from the Supremes – West Virginia v EPA. Also, this week saw Bobby Bonilla Day for Mets fans and an annual eye roll for Islanders fans. Jordan is away at camp but is his Father’s Day gift for Anthony telling him something? And the Housemartins hit the airwaves for the first time since Reagan was president.

It was hard for Anthony to put a happy shine on this week. The Supremes took away a right from women and somehow added one for people that want to wear guns in their waistbands. Anthony uses the opportunity to revisit why SCOTUS gets to decide in the first place. Spoiler alert : judicial review is not original text. Adding to the weighty day Jordan left for camp and Anthony returns to Twitter. Both things leave Anthony a bit blue.  During the second half of the show Anthony welcomes Steven Yang to discuss his riveting article about a former Firefighter who’s life in addiction strikes a nerve.

This wasn’t easy. Anthony decides to unpack the first hearing of the January 6th Committee without mentioning one name. There is a method to the madness as he seeks to invite a conversation with those who feel the investigation is an unwarranted attack on their guy and their team. Anthony’s strategy works, up to a point. He is also joined by New York City Council Republican Leader Joseph Borelli, to discuss Joe’s book about Staten Island, the city budget and what connects The Wu Tang Clan and Joan Baez.

She has 18 million followers on Twitter and has been in the middle of the budget fight this week (see what we did there?) so Anthony takes a look at the AOC phenomenon.  As is his habit, Anthony gets a little meta about the importance of howling at the moon from time to time in American politics but he also breaks down the limitations of government by social media. AOC as a bogeywoman for The Right is sometimes amusing but should they be worried about her or maybe admire her?  Also, this Father’s Day weekend, Anthony tells the story of singing Kate Bush at the top of his lungs to Jordan’s amazement.  Speaking of amazing, Anthony takes notes of a once-in-a-lifetime baseball thing.

Now it’s getting serious. The official launch of The Anthony Weiner Show. After weeks of borrowing an hour from Left vs. Right, a new name, a new logo and even some of that fancy intro music. But the issues are also very, very serious this week. Yet another shooting, this time in Uvalde, has Anthony thinking about how we don’t “politicize” tragedy nearly enough.
