The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Live from Tulsa!

About this episode

The episode features a live recording from the University of Tulsa focusing on the Declaration of Independence at 250, with guest John Yoo providing a lively discussion.

This week the 3WHH podcast "went mobile people!", venturing to the University of Tulsa's College of Law for a live-taping before an enthusiastic audience of law students, faculty, and some loyal listeners. We departed slightly from our usual format, and focused on a single subject: the Declaration of Independence at 250. John Yoo decided to be more obstreperous than usual with his utilitarian-positivist-pragmatism, but it made for a highly entertaining episode. We had a wonderful time visiting Tulsa. Don't miss the YouTube version of the episode, which includes the "pre-game" introduction (not included in this audio episode) wherein Steve performed (an allegedy cheesy) magic trick illustrating the breakdown of the separation of powers. And needless to say, exit music is "Ten Miles to Tulsa." We can't wait to go back.
