Description

A clean-shaven Michael Strain joins the perennially bearded Jonah to talk about the topic that always brings encouraging news: the economy. Lowering the national debt and the closing of movie theaters are two bullets in this chin-stroking chamber, complemented by banter about barbecue sauce and how to retrieve small children from the sewers.

Show Notes:
-Michael Strain’s new book, The American Dream Is Not Dead: (But Populism Could Kill It)
-Jonathan Chait’s book on Obama’s legacy (got awkward when Trump won)
-The Montreal Cognitive Assessment
-2001 anthrax attacks
-Ayanna Pressley’s wise words to cancel everything
-G-File in which Jonah talks about how the House Freedom Caucus is a bunch of hacks
-DonorsTrust.com/Dingo for your free resource, “6 Reasons to Use a Donor Advised Fund”

In “The Remnant," Jonah Goldberg, the founder and editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, syndicated columnist, best-selling author, and AEI/NRI Fellow enlists a “Cannonball Run”-style cast of stars, has-beens, and never-weres to address the most pressing issues of the day and of all-time. Is Western Civilization doomed? Is nationalism the wave of the future? Is the Pope Catholic? Will they ever find a new place to put cheese on a pizza? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Who is hotter: Ginger or Mary-Ann? Was Plato really endorsing the Republic as the ideal state? Mixing history, pop culture, rank-punditry, political philosophy, and, at times, shameless book-plugging, Goldberg and guests will have the kinds of conversations we wish they had on cable-TV shout shows. And the nudity will (almost) always be tasteful.
