The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg

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 conversations we wish they featured on TV. And the nudity will (almost) always be tasteful. Brace your bingo cards.

  Feelin’ A Little Irish | Ruminant

  Sep 26, 202615 min

  You remember the scene: Robert Deniro’s wife screaming at him in their apartment for being a jerk about the steak and flipping the kitchen table; Joe Pesci trying to calm them down; the neighbor calling them a bunch of animals; Deniro threatening to eat the neighbor’s dog. It’s exactly what you expect from director Martin Scorsese. But you know what it’s not? It’s not what Jonah Goldberg expected to find himself in the middle of after walking in the door the day the Stephanie Slade Remnant aired. What’s that? You want more context? Well then you’re just going to have to tune in to this rager of a Ruminant, wherein Jonah not only recounts his domestic dust-up over drag queen story hour but dives deep into Trump Derangement Syndrome, Xi Jinping at the White House, the autopen incident, Nikole Hannah-Jones, progressives, teachers unions, Nick Kristof and the rape dogs, Macklemore and Israel, Jonah going woke, rationalism vs reason, family, fusionism, the Western Massachusetts lesbian bar, and how we’re all both conservatives and liberals.  Show Notes: —The Enemy At Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11 —Jonah’s review of The Enemy at Home —Wednesday G-File —Nikole Hannah-Jones article  —Jonah’s book, Suicide of the West —Jonah’s book Liberal Fascism —Thomas C.

  ‘This Is Western Civilization, Bro’ | Interview: Stephanie Slade

  Sep 23, 20261h 17m

  What can and can’t the government do? Can it ban softball on Sundays? Or perhaps prohibit little old ladies from having Bible study at the local library? What about drag queen story hour? Can it—horror of horrors—tell you that you have to mow your lawn? Joining The Remnant to help us sort through these thorny political thickets is Stephanie Slade, author of a popular new book about fusionism. Listen in as Stephanie and Jonah Goldberg cover the dissident right, Frank Myer, Brent Bozell, liberalism, libertarianism, virtue, and everything in between.  Show Notes: —Stephanie Slade - Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right —Reason magazine —Dan Flynn’s Frank Myer biography  —Fusionism excerpt in The Dispatch —Slade on David Bahnsen’s podcast  —Jacob Levy - Rationalism, Pluralism, and Freedom —Helena Rosenblatt - The Lost History of Liberalism: From Ancient Rome to the Twenty-First Century The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.

  The Peacemaker of Utah | Interview: Spencer Cox

  Sep 21, 20261h 6m

  As faithful Remnant listeners know, we try to avoid having politicians on the show. It just gets kinda awkward when you have to publicly rake them over the coals for eating mac and cheese on camera. But being good Burkeans, we know that all rules have their exceptions. Gov. Spencer Cox is one of those exceptions. He joins Jonah Goldberg on the show to talk about his new book, Off Ramp. Along the way, they cover political division, technology, Mormonism, social media, local politics, the 10th Amendment, executive power, contempt, cancel culture, congressional reform, coalition building, governorships, and the greatness of Utah.  Show Notes: —Cox: Off Ramp: How to Be a Peacemaker in an Age of Contempt —Ben Sasse Remnant The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.
