| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman. |
| 0:03.9 | My guest today is Andy McCarthy. |
| 0:06.3 | Andy is a former chief assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, |
| 0:10.9 | best known for leading the 1995 prosecution of the Blind Shake and others responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. |

| 1:37.8 | Rich Lowry, our editor at NR. |
| 1:39.9 | Rich Lowry, who is also great. |
