The Three Whisky Happy Hour: The No Pearl-Clutching Zone

Episode length: 1h

Subscribe to 3 Whisky Happy HourSubscribe

Lucretia hosts this week's episode with the running theme that there's too much pearl clutching going on among the hand-wringers in Washington and the media. We flop our pearls of wisdom on the Tennessee special election, the J6 bomber arrest, the double-tap bombings on Venezuelan "fishing boats," the Minnesota welfare scandal, and the related immigration control issues it raises. We have some diversions into the latest Trumpian nomenclature, including his rehabilitation of "third world countries" and the "R-word," as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz calls it, and how Sydney Sweeney might react to listening to an episode of the 3WHH (because it is the new Kantian Categorical Imperative that Sydney Sweeney must be kept in the news).

Exit music this week is “Clutchin’ Pearls,” by Ross Kleiner and the Thrill. Key lyric that does not apply to our hostess with the mostest: “She’s so mad/I left her clutchin’ pearls!”

    Have you guys ever attended a citizenship swearing in? These folks who have done it right are amazing. Weeping. Read the oath. If you are not assimilating and becoming an ACTUAL Americal citizen, you are violating the oath.

    When anti-GOP/Trump stories break in the WaPo or NYT -- especially the anonymously sourced stories -- I just assume they're lying until I can get confirmation from a credible source.

    Lucretia, please step up to the blackboard and write the following 100 times:

    All men are created equal. All cultures are not.

    I'm with Lucretia on immigration. We need at least a fifteen year moratorium on any immigration so we can deport the illegals and assimilate the legal ones. We haven't been a melting pot in decades. I don't think I've even heard anyone try to claim that we are in many years.
