The Three Whisky Happy Hour: The New Tariff in Town
The 3WHH crew is down a glass this week because John Yoo is down with a bug and unable to join us—or was he afraid of subjecting himself to Lucretia, host for this week’s episode? With fear, trembling, and trepidation Steve braved the peril with all the aplomb of the Black Knight in Monty Python, and yet by the end of this episode still had all four limbs attached! Lucretia’s fancy whisky must have mellowed her, as this surprisingly convivial episode found remarkable harmony about the defects of the Democrat-media complex, and why it is just as debilitating to Democrats’ fortunes as the state of California is. Also, was Obama overrated, underrated, or just lucky?
There was some divergence about tariffs, and we bet listeners can guess about how this split played out. And if you can’t guess, then there’s only one way to end the suspense.
