The Three Musketeers of the 3WHH are back with our typical end-of-week roundup, including what we think of the Trump-Putin summit (which will be over by the time everyone listens to this, so this is an exercise in sheer hubris); how to think about crime in the context of Trump's move to take over Washington DC (where, amazingly, John manages to "out-Lucretia" Lucretia with a radical suggestion for what Trump really ought to do with DC); and speaking of Lucretia (this week's show host, on her best behavior believe it or not!) vants about how much she wants to see some real accountability for hte Russia Hoaxters, about whose perfidy we received additional details this week.
We round out with a brief discussion of a variation of the "desert island book" idea, namely, what book would each of us recommend as the best introduction to conservative thought for someone who is seriously curious to read up on the subject. John again surprises by making the most impractical suggestion of all, while Steve and Lucretia go with some old standards (though not without some disagreement). We'll attempt a sequel next week, anf by the way, we encourage listeners to send in questions they'd liek us to take up, and we'll try to do that, too.

Picking the exit bumper music, usually with the intent to annoy Lucretia, is always the most fun part of post production.

About those Benghazi hearings that John Yoo praised:
By definition, the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi was an act of war. The star witness of the Benghazi hearings, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, sent an email to her daughter Chelsea on the night of the attack, admitting that she (Hillary Clinton) knew that the attack was conducted by "an Al Queda-like [sic] group," i.e. a known enemy of the United States.
Hillary Clinton and her boss Barack Obama concealed that information from the public, and sent Susan Rice on a publicity tour promoting the lie that the attack was a spontaneous response to the YouTube trailer for an "anti-Muslim video" that had never been published.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama during wartime gave aid and comfort to a known enemy of the United States. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama committed Treason against the United States.
The Benghazi hearings produced only a report. The Benghazi hearings were an immense failure.
Hillary Clinton was so damaged by the Benghazi hearings that the Democrat Party had to rig the 2016 primaries and the delegate counting in order to keep the Democrat Presidential nomination away from socialist Bernie Sanders, so as to bestow the nomination on Hillary.
I'm tired of the highest-ranking Democrat politicians committing Treason against the United States with the wholehearted support of the entire Democrat/Media/Bureaucracy Complex.
I'm tired of Deep State swamp creature John Yoo shrugging it all off as "nothing to see here."
