ast: The 3WHH Thanksgiving Special Edition // (Steven Hayward).
This special Thanksgiving long weekend edition, with John Yoo sitting in a rotating host chair, features the 3WHH bartenders enjoying wine, whisky, and food pairings after the big meal.

We also reflected on our recent trip to Italy and offered some final post-mortems about the mid-term elections aimed at discrediting popular media themes about why the unexpected result was achieved, and why the FTX scandal illustrates aspects of contemporary liberalism that are missing from the breathless media accounts.
We then examine the significance and meaning of the decision by several elite law schools not to participate in the U.S. rankings games. News and World Report, although there is a lot of disagreement about academic rankings.
You know what you should do now: Listen here or bring your leftovers to Ricochet.

P.S. (2). Some listeners requested the text of the Kamalaism which concludes this episode. So here it is:
It’s almost like relay racing, I think. You know what I mean? You race and someone passes you the baton. That’s how life works. It’s essentially a relay race.
So, heroes, regardless of gender, ran their race and passed the baton to us. The question is: What will you do with the baton? This means that there is no time to get bored. You can’t help but smile. Right? (Laughter.)
