The Three Whisky Happy Hour: 9/11 Reflections, CA Recall Predictions, and More
September 11, 2021 18:08 - 1 hour - 54.9 MBLucretia assumes hosting duties for this week’s potpourri of a show because Steve is recovering from major surgery, which he relates at the show opening today. (It includes a theological dimension!) But while Steve is improving, the recall effort against California Gov. Gavin Newsom appears not to be. Steve explains the reasons why the polls show a strong turnaround in Newsom’s favor over the last... Source

The Three Whisky Happy Hour: On Equality, Consent, and the Difficulty of Self-Government
August 28, 2021 14:24 - 1 hour - 59.5 MBThis week’s episode is a Biden-free zone, so if you’re looking to avoid the Biden-Afghan collapse story, this is the show for you. Instead we decided to circle back return to an argument Steve was losing badly at the end of last week’s episode with Michael Anton, and go into greater depth on the meaning of equality in American political thought.

Scott Johnson follows Kevin’s work closely on Power Line (here, here, and here, for example), but we decided it was time to hear from Kevin directly in podcast form.

July 17, 2021 18:13 - 2.84 KBSteve figured a nine time zone distance might provide a margin of safety from Lucretia’s rear-end kicking over Steve’s article “What the Hell Happened to Bill Kristol?“, which Lucretia finds sorely wanting. And his attempts to mollify Lucretia with tales of how great Hungary’s conservatives are was mostly unavailing, even if true.

E266. The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Putting CRT Under a CRT
July 10, 2021 18:47 - 3.9 KBOnce upon a time, “CRT” stood for “cathode ray tube,” sometimes known as “television,” but also oscilloscopes, computer screens, some x-rays, and certain other technical devices designed for testing and calibration. Cathode ray tubes went the way of the Dodo bird quite some time ago, and nowadays CRT means something else: Critical Race Theory. There is one way in which today’s CRT resembles the old tech CRTs—they both depend on a vacuum. Critical Race Theory depends on the vacuum of nih...

Nationalism acquired a foul odor in the 20th century, but ever since Brexit and Trump upset the cosmopolites from Berkeley to Brussels, the idea of nationalism has crept back into favor, at least with many conservatives.

The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Burke—Hero or Goat? (Or GOAT)
June 19, 2021 18:32 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBWe get letters. And one from a regular listener baited us with the proposition that since FDR’s New Deal—decried here on a recent episode—is now nearly 90 years old, the duty of Burkean conservatives is now to preserve the New Deal rather than pine romantically for the good old days of Calvin Coolidge. To which Steve responded, well, I guess we should do a seminar-style episode about Edmund Burke... Source
