In “The Remnant," Jonah Goldberg enlists a “Cannonball Run”-style cast of stars, has-beens, and never-weres to address the most pressing issues of the day. Is America doomed? Has liberalism failed? And will mankind ever invent something better than ‘90s-era “Simpsons?” Mixing political history, pop culture, rank punditry, and shameless book-plugging, Goldberg and guests will have the kinds of conv... more

  • RANK PUNDITRY IS BACK BABY!!!🔥🔥🔥

    I was listening to “government of lies,” and at exactly 7:36 in, I paused it, climbed on my chair, and screamed “RANK PUNDITRY IS BACK BABY!!!” Best day of my life.

  • Classic illiberal conservative

    Yet another conservative pundit who believes he is the only one who has the answers. He supports the police shooting of arbitrary suspects. Really a disappointing human who believes the police are always right and blames the victim.

  • Laura Field - Must listen

    Jonah your conversation with Laura Field was ***chefs kiss**. It should be required listening. I grew up in a very conservative Christian family and became a “Obama Liberal” but now feel lost. This conversation you had with Laura is like ripping up the plant and seeing the roots of what I was raised on. To understand Barry Goldwater’s nuances you need to truly know someone who thinks like this. You are definitely correct that political philosophy bubbles up. Please do another episode with Laura!... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Patriots and Loyalists | Interview: Ken Burns
Q: Did doing the Revolutionary War change your views in any significant way about the Civil War?
The narrative surrounding slavery and equality was always present, making it clear that the issues of American identity are interwoven across history.
Patriots and Loyalists | Interview: Ken Burns
Q: Would you have been a Patriot or a Loyalist?
The question is more complicated than it seems, as various circumstances could define one's position at the time, and choices are often not black and white.
Free Bird | Interview: Matt Ridley
Q: Can sexual selection be considered a luxury that evolution can afford under stable conditions?
Yes, during certain stable conditions, sexual selection may become more pronounced as species can afford to focus on mating aesthetics rather than survival alone.
Free Bird | Interview: Matt Ridley
Q: Why does nature produce beauty in the context of sexual selection?
Beauty may not just be attractive; it could also signify underlying qualities desirable in a mate, making sexual selection complex.
Intellectuals of the New Right | Interview: Laura Field
Q: What's your book about?
It's an explanation of the ideas, I profile some of the main people involved, and chronicle just the emergence and coalescence of this movement.
