The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg

To the great dismay of fans of Jimmy Carter and Herbert Hoover, John Quincy Adams has been officially awarded The Remnant’s not-so-endowed chair of American public service. Joining Jonah Goldberg on the show today to make the case for Adams is Bob Crawford, historian and former bass player for The Avett Brothers. Bob and Jonah discuss Adams' brilliant career, his relationship with Andew Jackson, and his powerful rhetoric, along with the populist/elitist dynamic, the oddity of majority parties, abolitionism, the Amistad case, and Congress’s infamous gag rule.
