The Three Whisky Happy Hour, July 4 Roundup Edition

Subscribe to 3 Whisky Happy HourSubscribe

After a week off for travel and for Steve to recover from the pummeling he took at the hands of "Lucretia" in our last episode two weeks ago, the 3WHH is back with some fresh malts and fresh looks at the news of the week. We start with what appears to be the White House cat fight between First Doctor Jill Biden and Veep Kaaaaammmaaala Harris, and then proceed to examine the special House January 6 committee and contrast the salutary role Dick Cheney filled in the Iran-Contra congressional committee "investigation" in 1987 and the role Liz Cheney—the only Republican who will be on the committee—looks to play in this "investigation." One question we're sure the committee won't "investigate"—who shot Ashli Babbitt? We're at day 177, and there are some new theories leaking out.

From there we read the easily readable tea leaves of the announcement that the trustees of the University of North Carolina crumpled under pressure and awarded Nicole Hannah-Jones full tenure after all in the UNC "journalism" school. If the Republican-appointed trustees in a conservative state can't stand up to the academic left, it suggests there really is no hope of fixing or reforming our rotten universities.

And that led to a discussion of the Fourth of July holiday, in which we mix founding principle alongside our beef grilling plans. Cheers!

    Lucretia’s theory isn’t crazy.

    But I’d like to hear or come up with a case for a contrary theory and weigh them both before I agree with her.

    On the "other" site, a listener commented that the "'woke' military will be going up against all the 'extremist' warriors that got kicked out. Those 'extremists' will end up being the organizers of the conservative 'resistance' and the substandard, trans welcoming military will discover why lowering standards doesn't create an effective fighting force."

    I am not sure that is what you had in mind as a contrary theory, but it is certainly a theory I can get behind!

    A nice theory.

    Not what I had in mind. I was thinking of the theory that maybe they're just silly Leftists who believe in it, or whatever else.

    Lucretia spoke to me! I am honored.

    Hey, have you read my work on election fraud?
