The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg

In honor of King Charles’ visit to the United States, Jonah has invited his favorite Brit (by birth) to come on The Remnant for some knockdown, drag-out sparring over the unitary executive theory and the threat posed by illiberal conservatives. Along the way, Jonah and Charlie also discuss vaccines in Florida, gerrymandering, Clarence Thomas’ recent University of Texas speech, progressivism, classical liberalism, Donald Trump’s “mean tweets,” and court packing.

Plus: Peruvian spiders.People go to Los Angeles for lots of reasons: fame, money, food, outstanding weather, love of the movies, hatred of themselves, etc. Jonah Goldberg, perhaps uniquely, goes to philosophize. After ruminating on his attendance at a super swanky film festival, Jonah gives a crash course on Hegel, Trump as a world-historical figure, the imperial Roman Republic, Marxism as a shibboleth, unpatriotic librarians, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Baptists and bootleggers, and Maine’s new Nazi-tattooed Democratic Senate nominee.Show Notes:—John B.

Sometimes, even intellectual heavyweights like Jonah Goldberg can’t make out what’s going on on the other side of the aisle. Finding himself in need of an interpreter, Jonah turns to Atlantic columnist Tyler Austin Harper for a liberal-inflected look at Hasan Piker, the uses of Marxism, name-checking, human nature, the increasing appeal of the Butlerian Jihad, evolution, taboos, the failures of centrism, limits, and much, much more.
