The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Trump—A New Columbus?
The week ended with President Trump issuing a proclamation celebrating Columbus Day, rather than Indigenous People’s Day as the identitarians and western-guilt mongers have crammed down on us for the last generation, and it put us in the frame of mind of Leo Strauss, who called Machiavelli “that greater Columbus.” Maybe Trump is a Columbus of sorts, sailing precariously into the Blue State oceans to drain swamps, etc. It’s worth a shot.
But much of the show revolves around discussion of why so many leftists (like Katie Porter and Jay Jones) are such horrible people, whether we are in fact much closer to a civil war that we could have conceived, but also saving time to console John over the ignominious loss of his beloved Phillies, and—being certified dog lovers—honoring the passing of Lily, the beloved pet of one of our faithful listeners whose dog literally ate up one of our books.
