The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Can You Tariff a Vibe Shift?
Was the Supreme Court’s tariff case Friday a no-lose case for conservatives, as Steve argues in this fast-paced episode, or a serious setback for President Trump? We were just surprised John Yoo had any voice left at all to break it down for us after being on call throughout the day for Fox News, but he saved his best for us. Hint: The fact that the three liberals on the Court wrote concurring opinions disagreeing with Chief Justice Roberts’s reasoning behind the decision suggests some useful mischief at work in the decision.
The second half of this episode turns briefly to whether the “vibe shift” against wokism is really taking place, with caveats about whether it will survive Trump’s presidency, or be reversed by the next Democrat who lies their way into the White House. Not only is the Wokerati engaging in “massive resistance” to steps to end government-sponsored racism and human nature-denying trans-axels, but some Democrats are darkly threatening retribution for people and institutions that are abandoning DEI and other wokist totems right now.
