Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
With Steve Hayward back in the host chair this week, the 3WHH actually breaks some real news with special guest Kelly Janes Torrance, the op-ed editor of the indispensible New York Post. This week Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is attracting surprising interest from many conservatives, visited the Post for a grilling from the Post's editorial board, and Kelly Jane opened up her reporter's notebook to share previously unreported statements RFK Jr offered at their 90-minute meeting. You won't want to miss her scoops shared exclusively with the 3WHH podcast.
John Yoo was late joining us—apparently he got stuck in an extra long McDonald's drive-through line right before show time—but did manage to break down the Durham report, and also gets in on the sequels with Kelly Jane, who has a lot of thoughts on the Ukraine situation from her experiences as an election watcher in recent years.
Since KJT is Canadian, we decided to honor her guest turn with exit music from the Barenaked Ladies, "New Kid on the Block," since we're definitely going to have her back on 3WHH. As mentioned early in this episode, she may not be a neat whisky drinker, but she has an epic cocktail game.
We're got a short pre-roll excerpt from John on the Ricochet podcast that we think is appropriate to share with our listeners, though I think Rob Long was not amused!
Hosted by Steve Hayward, with guests JYJohn Yoo, Kelly Jane Torrance, and "Lucretia"

My interest isn't really serious. One) I'm hoping for a replay of Uncle Teddy and Carter and b) it would be fun to have a President who thinks the Deep State killed his dad and uncle.

He got stuck in the line behind the stalled Tesla?
Its been a meme... They can't push it, because its got no power and can't be put in neutral. Even if they could get the car into neutral, could a couple of guys really push the car any distance?

Re RFK: It would be nice to see someone on the presidential debate stage who is capable of speaking in complete sentences. Great discussion on his ed board visit.
Re Munich: My ever so lofty opinion of John took a hit today -- how could he not know about the '72 Olympic basketball disaster, a great symbol of the Cold War? John, I was born in 1957 but I know about Babe Ruth calling his shot, Jesse Owens winning four gold medals in Berlin in '32, the notorious "long count" in the Dempsey-Tunney fight, etc. You weren't born when the founders drafted the Constitution, but you know all about that. That you weren't born in the best decade ever is no excuse! :) He's right about the video being grainy, though. Good thing he built up so much goodwill with his great line about Lucretia on the other podcast!

I say this as a supporter of the Ukrainian effort. I don’t read newspapers (except for linked articles and such), but I was once a reporter/feature writer for two daily newspapers (1979-84), and I know for sure that we would have thought it improper to place the Ukrainian flag on the masthead. . . . And I continue to find the idea that the conflict is a cheap way for the U.S. to weaken the Russians vicariously to be cynically heartless given the ongoing devastation with no plan or end in sight and with the Russians apparently now setting their sights on Ukraine’s agricultural infrastructure—breadbasket of much of the developing world. (We’re not in this war, people say, much as they claim the tech companies are private.) . . . Zelensky needs F-16s. We’re-in-it-for-the duration Biden hesitates. And hesitates. So Zelensky goes to the G7 summit, where the Allies offer to send him the planes, whereupon Biden (who for some reason has to give the go-ahead) says okay then. . . . This is no way to fight, much less end a war.

Because its US military technology. The sales contract, when you buy F-16s or whatever stipulates that the US must approve any transfer of the aircraft to any 3rd party user...
