John asserts library dominance while getting his pre-squash-game face on.
Lucretia hosts this week’s episode, reminding us once again that Republicans are living up to their reputation as “the stupid party” with the proposed “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act” that seems to have overlooked this quaint old thing called the First Amendment. Steve gamely tries to defend the political strategy behind it, but Lucretia is having none of it (putting her in rare alignment with the New York Times), wondering why anyone would want to distract attention away from Democrats tieing themselves in electoral hangman’s knots over the anti-Semitism raging wild inside their party and their wholly-owned subsidiary college campuses. Republicans ought to impose a gag order on themselves, and crusade against the gag order on Trump in his current trial in New York. Concerning which, John has several observations.
And about that campus scene: another week, and another data point for Steve’s thesis that “it’s going to get worse before it gets worse.” About the only sensible conclusion is that somewhere in the Great Beyond, Tom Wolfe is behind the whole current scene. Maybe we can still get a sequel from him, Bonfire of the Inanities.
As usual, listen here, from our hosts at Ricochet, or wherever you source your favorite podcasts.
P.S. This is another two-fer podcast week, as I filled in for Rob Long on the Ricochet podcast yesterday, with special guest H.R. McMaster. Give a listen!
