National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they break down the UFC-White House terrorist attack foiled by the FBI, the ridiculous ranked choice voting system, Hillary Clinton’s revisionist comments on Biden’s 2024 re-election bid, and the opening of Barack Obama’s presidential library.
First, Charlie and Greg react to the alleged plot of a drone and sniper attack at the UFC America 250 event thwarted days in advance by the FBI. Five suspects have been arrested, and at least 23 Signal users are believed to have discussed the scheme on the encrypted app. Charlie emphasizes that drone technology is drastically changing security protocols.
Next, Charlie and Greg scrutinize the convoluted ranked choice voting system, illustrated by elections in Alaska and Washington, D.C. Charlie argues that confusing election laws weaken trust as average voters cannot easily track how a winner is determined.
Then, they cover Hillary Clinton’s recent remarks saying Biden made a “terrible mistake” by running in the 2024 election. Hillary is just another Democrat trying to rewrite history following her staunch backing of Biden for re-election.
Finally, Charlie and Greg poke fun at the hideous Obama Presidential Museum and look back at his real presidential legacy.
