3 Whisky Happy Hour: Saving Western Civilization Edition

John Yoo turns up this week, along with a cameo from our favorite classicist Alex Priou, for an episode that ranged widely from McDonald's to the prospective deportation of Ilhan Omar to women's "athleisure-wear" in the gym, but in the end resolves to a common theme: are we going to be able to save Western Civilization from those relentless attacks from the Left? (And if you don't think McDonald's is important to Western Civilization, you aren't paying attention!) We have our usual spectrum of views about the whole "civic education" enterprise, and our cameo conversation with Alex Priou of the University of Austin looks at the conservatives who didn't like Secretary Marco Rubio's speech in Athens last week. For the record, we liked it a lot.

3 Martini Lunch: The ’80’s: The Politics, What We Miss, & What We Don’t Miss

Join Jim and Greg for this special edition of Last Call, as they remember the greatness of the 1980s. Weeks ago, while promoting a movie, actor Ryan Reynolds called the decade "brutal" and a "mess" with "division everywhere." That's not how Jim and Greg remember it, so they recall the politics of the 1980s, what they miss from that era, and what they definitely don't miss. First, they focus on the politics of the decade, meaning the Reagan presidency. They examine Reagan's electoral triumphs, his good nature, and his greatness in winning the Cold War. They also discuss Reagan's skills as the "Great Communicator" and how the media was different in its approach to news then. Next, they dive into the things they miss about the 1980s, especially the far superior pop culture offerings in film, television, and music. They also savor the freedom they had as kids then and note a critical aspect of childhood in the '80s that can only be appreciated now. Then, they go through the things they don't miss from that decade - much of it either related to less advanced technology or society just being a lot different then. They also examine aspects of the news media they definitely don't want to come back to. Finally, Jim and Greg spent a few minutes on the pinnacle of cinematic excellence from the 1980's.

The Ricochet Podcast: A Pain in the Polls

The midterm polls sure don't paint a rosy picture for Republicans. While Henry Olsen, Ricochet's in-house election analyst, isn't here to pretend the data suggest otherwise, he joins James, Charles, and Steve to add dimension to the GOP's bleak prospects. Listeners brave enough for the cold facts will hear important lessons about the Republican Party's growing pains, the value of persuasive speech during tough times, and the necessity of message discipline in getting through them. The gang at least finds some consolation in the fact that the ascendant progressive wing of the Democratic Party will likely weigh down the whole if (or when) they overreach. Ricochet 5 is here! Stay tuned till the end to hear Charles give a rundown of the new features. And check out the new site here: https://ricochet.com Opening sound this week: Susan Collins and Troy Jackson have their final debate interrupted (WCSH Portland), and the President weighs in on the El Sayed candidacy in Michigan.

3 Martini Lunch: Alito Retirement Bombshell? The Timing Could Be Huge

Craig Coglianese’s week of guest hosting for Greg Corombos comes to an end with an intriguing report that Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito may be retiring soon, before the Democrats can assume the majority in the U.S. Senate. Craig and Jim Geraghty also note that Vice President JD Vance is getting awkward questions about former ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, and scratch their heads at the new White House press secretary’s husband previously doing work in North Korea. Craig concludes by revealing he now hears James Talarico and Ken Paxton attack ads in his dreams. New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.

Federalist Radio Hour: How Big Banks Can Be Held Accountable For Targeting Conservatives

On this edition of The Federalist Radio Hour, Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Jeremy Tedesco joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss how banks have targeted Christians and conservatives with debanking, how groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center have tied their political agenda to many of America's largest banks, and the new "smoking gun" report that can be used to hold them accountable.

I quit following Three Martini Lunch podcast because of Jim but now I’m dropping Ricochet because of the comments about the 25th amendment Jim made.

History is something that matters, and I was heartened to hear of Eli’s strong interest in history and the way things used to be. We have been here before. Now I have to go find that AI to compose my own song! Good luck to you all.
Chicks on the Right is a travesty

Well, as far as boot-licking cheerleading goes, Chicks on the Right is top notch. When it comes to thoughtful analysis and honest discussion, it is a travesty of a dumpster fire. If a person wanted this much persecution complex and nonsensical gibberish, they should go straight to the source of Trump’s own statements. F- But A for effort!

Aug 22, 2024 & conservatives still insist on this. Why do conservatives insist on just being super petty? It’s either that or you’re just very well paid stupid people. Or racist. Is it racism? Whatever it is, you’re petty and small.
