The Three Whisky gang were together in person live late today, the culmination of an intensive three-day project that we describe at the opening segment of the show. Fortunately John Yoo’s office was well-supplied with Maker’s Mark and Glenlivet 15, so everything is right with the world. Retired DC Circuit superstar Judge Janice Rogers Brown sat in on the session to heckle us. After the opening overture, we get down

This week’s regular 3WHH podcast is going to be delayed until tonight or tomorrow morning—scheduling problems—but in the meantime yesterday I returned to the flagship Ricochet podcast (I’m starting to feel like Jay Leno did 35 years ago when he subbed for Johnny Carson every Friday), but on this episode as the host, as James Lileks is away traveling this week. (Let me know what you think of my ad-segue

Earlier today, Kamala Harris tweeted this: Black men deserve a president who cares about making their lives better. pic.twitter.com/cUCdsvvYZ6 — Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) October 15, 2024 This agenda, intended to salvage Harris’s collapsing status with black men, would be outrageous even if it were not illegal. It is one of the topics that we discussed today on the American Experiment podcast. It was a fun installment, as it was hosted

Lucretia hosts this week’s episode, which takes up exactly where we left off last week’s episode—with the topic of vote fraud and whether Democrats might (ahem) steal the election from Trump. Without revisiting the weirdness and irregularities of the 2020 result distorted by the Covid-induced election rules changes, we go over in some detail what changes have been made over the last four years, including serious preparations by Republicans and

October is not even one week along and we’ve already had enough “October surprises” to span about five years. First, the epiphany of J.D. Vance, Superstar. If he had been any better we’d need to enlist Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice to score and produce the Broadway musical of Vance the Vanquisher. Come to think of it, that would make a great professional wrestling name. Except Tim Walz wrestled

Or you can just listen to it. This edition of the American Experiment podcast, recorded on Tuesday, features a half hour of irreverent conversation on the news of the day by American Experiment’s three youngest staffers. It is followed by me, interviewing Justin Folk, the producer and director of Am I Racist?, as well as other films including What Is a Woman? Justin and I began by reminiscing about the

The whole gang is finally back stateside and even in the same time zone, but somehow John and Lucretia found themselves being stalked by Kamala Harris on Friday. First the Veep extraordinaire turned up near Lucretia’s border town to talk tough on immigration, and then decamped to the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, right across the street from the University Club, where John happened to be styling at the same

Well, a forensic miracle recovered the lost or rogue audio file for this week’s episode, which feature just John Yoo and Lucretia because I was indisposed in some kind of second-hand smoke haze over here in Amsterdam. John and Lucretia do their usual spirited tour through the second Trump assassination, the stubbornly close polls (you can just imagine what Lucretia thinks of “low information” voters), Kamala’s embarrassing appearance on Oprah,

Unfortunately complicated logistics and time zones have prevented our weekly 3WHH podcast. John Yoo is over in Korea in search of McRib variations, I’m still in Amsterdam in search of any sign that European decadence can be turned back, and Lucretia was supposed to be en route to Italy this weekend in search of her favorite Brunello di Montalcino reds, but a last minute change scrambled that plan. Despite the

We’re half a day late getting this episode posted on account of my intermittent and sometimes sketchy internet access overseas, but it’s still as sparkling and fresh as a just-opened bottle of bubbly. The whole gang is back together this week with a rousing review of the week’s highlights, including a post-modern take on the Trump-Harris debate, and the dogs-and-cats-living-togther-before-being-eaten memestorm out of Ohio that is driving the left out

Dateline Isafjordfur, ICELAND: Since I am stuck on an ice floe somewhere up around the Arctic Circle and without adequate internet to do our usual Zoom recording session, John and Lucretia run wild (also long!) with the microphone in my absence, riffing along about ther latest in lawfare—did Judge Marchan blink by postponing his sentencing of Trump? Is a Hunter Biden pardon in the works? And what the hell is

After some preliminary discussion of Icelandic hot dogs and Kamala’s stolen fast food valor, this special episode gets down to serious business—a seminar on the topic of political prudence for a thoroughly recalcitrant and skeptical John Yoo. This topic grew out of a long text thread we had following a Power Line post of mine early in the week passing along a substantive exchange on Twitter between the Babylon Bee’s

John Yoo hosts this week, and adds to his appalling hypocrisy with his admission that he is teaching a class this summer on the Law of the Sea treaty, even as he continues to embargo any and all discussion of the Clean Air Act! Otherwise the gang is in happy spirits because we’re resupplied with some really good new spirits this week, as a fine whisky and wine outlet (Grapes

It’s another two-fer podcast week (see below), with Lucretia hosting the 3WHH this week, which means ‘Swift Boating’ has a whole new meaning, as Taylor Swift’s whirled tour on behalf of whirled peas has run into Islamic terrorism, but shhhh, you can’t say that in Britain right now, so how can they let her concert series go forward? Too obvious a provocation. Of course we have our weekly update on

John Yoo hosts this week’s 500th episode of the Power Line family of podcasts, which turns out to have a common theme: dance steps. Kamalamadingdong (someone’s—I won’t say who but you can guess—new nickname for the Dem nominee) thinks she can Walz to the White House with a progressive twin, while the Olympics is trying to dance away from its cultural travesties with. . . break dancing?? Boeing is trying

What do Trump’s controversial appearance before black journalists, the Olympics controversy over the gender of boxers, and the protean identity of Kamala Harris have in common? Simple—they are all an aspect of what I believes is the central political and moral-philosophical issue of our age: human nature. Everyone seems to think Trump blundered by questioning the authenticity of Harris’s changing ethnic identity, but Lucretia and I—in rare heated agreement—think it

Like an old 80s sitcom, this episode was taped before a live audience of about 90 regular listeners who carried on a vigorous commentary and questions in the Zoom chat, and we had a special guest at the very end—John Hinderaker in the (virtual) flesh! And since we actually recorded during happy hour for a change (and not Saturday morning as has been the case for the last several weeks),
