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

    Good discussion with Charlie Cooke. He gave you the solution to expanding your paid subscribers for the Dispatch. Start (again) prioritizing the larger threats to this country. Everyone has heard your beef with the guys on the right ad nauseam. Train your eye (and genius) on the right things again.

  • Piker and Fuentes

    Fuentes is flat out what you describe, racist, antisemite, etc. so how do you get off with the Hitler Stalin comparison? Who are you calling Hitler? There by naming Stalin the equivalent too?

    You are adding to the ignorance and thereby the hypocrisy is in your tent. I suggest a simple thought, consider a world according to Piker vs Fuentes. As well, have Piker on your show. Fallowed by Fuentes. See for yourself. And stop talking because you are making a mess of the world.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Circling Liberalism’s Wagons | Interview: Adrian Wooldridge
Q: What is your book about?
The book argues that liberalism has been a rich, dynamic tradition since the 18th century, characterized by individualism, tolerance, and a regulated state, and that contemporary politics tests its ability to adapt while preserving core liberal commitments.
The Uses of Marxism | Interview: Tyler Austin Harper
Q: How do you view Marxism as a framework for understanding today's political and cultural dynamics?
Harper argues that Marxism remains a useful analytical tool for examining how economic structures influence culture and ideas, but he cautions against treating it as a deterministic conspiracy and emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between analytical frameworks and political program. He also stresses that not all journalists or thinkers need to be Marxists to do good journalism.
Last Branch Standing | Interview: Sarah Isgur
Q: What is your book about?
The book is a primer on how to think about the Supreme Court and how it operates within the constitutional order, aiming to help readers understand the court, its history, and its role in modern politics.
Israel on Trial | Interview: Roy K. Altman
Q: How do you define genocide in this context, and why does Israel not fit that definition according to your reading?
Genocide requires intent to eradicate a people as such. Altman outlines that Israel's war strategy and civilian protections demonstrate a different reality, where even with high casualties, the state has not aimed to annihilate Palestinians as a group, and has actively warned and evacuated civilians.
Israel on Trial | Interview: Roy K. Altman
Q: What is your response to the accusation of settler colonialism and the claim that Jews displace indigenous populations?
He argues that the historical record shows a continuous Jewish presence in the land for thousands of years and that modern Zionism is not a simple settler colonial project; instead, the book uses Montevideo statehood criteria to evaluate legitimacy and shows that Israel fulfills them.
