Unfortunately we weren’t able to fix up the usual online recording session for this week’s Three Whisky Happy Hour, and attempted to assemble in person ahead of the Claremont Institute’s annual dinner at Huntington Beach, this year with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (who was terrific, by the way). But we were outside, with not enough time to get organized—and without any whisky!—and the result was a bit of a train wreck. But at least it’s short! (As I used to say when I still showed up for road races in my dotage, “I may be old and fat, but I’m slow! My strategy is to start of slow, and tail off from there.” Well we kind of live up to that here.)
Our irregular sidekick Richard Samuelson joined us, and then halfway through Jeremy Carl wandered by, so we made him sit down and join us with no preparation. We tried to cover Last Week in Wokeness and a few other things, but I’m not sure we really got anywhere. But we got so many emails from disappointed listeners than we decided to throw this episode up (literally) and let you decide.
Yeah, some whisky would have made a difference.

Lucretia: “I’m ok with that”. Stellar.
Steve’s laugh makes my day.
I was starting to have withdrawal pains. Am glad that you posted this. The audio wasn’t bad. Rod Dreher points out a problem with the current hysteria. How are POC going to learn when professors are afraid to give them constructive criticism,

Which LGB song was that?
Boy does that acronym feel different.
Any word starting with T that can fit after “Brandon”?
I have seen Let’s Go Brandon Team
My week is incomplete without a whisky moment however long it might be. Thanks for putting me back at ease and……Let’s Go Brandon!
