Lucretia hosts this week as the Three Musketeers are back together again (and to mark John’s return, we procured his favorite toothpaste for him!), taking on Trump at the 100 Day mark, the latest in lawfare, the dismal Canadian election, whose solution John Yoo suggests is straight up imperial conquest—why make Canada the 51st state when we can make it a territory to be exploited like Puerto Rico and Greenland?

This wide-ranging, round-robin format episode begins with celebrating the end of “Dry January” (which we, um, didn’t much observe), mockery of Bernie Sanders’ obsession with “onesies,” a brief account of a Steve roadtrip to Villanova University, and a declaration of war against the Commentary podcast. (It’s serious: it involves McRibs.)After we clear away this opening frivolity, we get down to serious business.

For our many regular listeners who were not able to join us last night for our live taping of this special mid-week episode that included Scott Johnson and (very late) John Hinderaker (hence the “Five Whisky Happy Hour”), much of what we talked about has been overtaken by subsequent vote counts and other results.

In our last episode before the election, the 3WHH bartenders pour a stiff one in honor of the end of recycling, since were back to pure garbage now, though Biden getting in his last chomps of a baby was a special bonus to end the week. We spend most of this episode reflecting on the final week of the campaign, arguing about what kind of vote fraud may or may not take place, and offering our final predictions for both the election result and the aftermath. You think it’s over Tuesday! Think again.

How can you tell Democrats are panicking about the election? Because they’ve gone full reductio ad Hitlerum. It’s official. The Atlantic has declared that Trump is "literally” Hitler. This is hardly new with Trump. I’ve been through the catalogue before, but let’s have it fresh once again from the top.

The latest Three Whisky Happy Hour podcast led off with a brief description of the latest Berkeley Law seminar on constitutional theory that John Yoo, Linda Denno (“Lucretia”), Judge Janice Rogers Brown, Dan Kolkey, and I taught recently. It resumed a long-running debate I’ve been having with John for several years now, pitting the natural law/common law tradition against modern legal positivism.

I mentioned my second "Liberal Fragility" article the other day that I have been reading through the astonishing correspondence between Leo Strauss and Alexandre Kojeve. There was a short postscript in one of Strauss's letters that read, "Have you ever read Prescott's Conquest of Mexico and Conquest of Peru? A story more fabulous than any fairy-tale."I had never heard of William H. Prescott, and immediately went down the rabbit hole.
