Summary

Elizabeth Warren might be out of the running for the Democratic nomination, but that doesn’t mean that the most harmful parts of her agenda haven’t been assimilated into other Democrats’ platforms. David Bahnsen literally wrote the book on that bad agenda and asserts that the worst parts of it (i.e. an outright unconstitutional wealth tax) might still be coming down through a different nominee. David and Jonah also engage in some rank punditry, and they even ask the question that all the cool kids are asking: what’s the deal with Postmillennial Protestant eschatology? Show Notes: -David’s (somewhat ill-timed) book -John Podhoretz’s (equally ill-timed) book -Monday’s 2,000-point Dow drop -Saudi Arabia and Russia’s oil price shenanigans -Mohammed bin Salman behaving completely normally, for sure -The role of smoking in COVID-19 vulnerability -Charles Cooke’s great take on MSNBC’s math -“Did we lose a war?”

Greetings, dear listeners. This is Jonah Goldberg, host of the Remnant Podcast.

0:29.8

I'm sorry, I'm a little horse. I will probably explain it in the canine update in the G-Vile this week,

0:36.8

but I was yelling vociferously at the dingo last night, and I think that's how I lost my voice,

0:42.8

but we can talk about that more later. So you just have to put up with me sounding like a sort of

0:48.4

transgender Lorne Becaw. I'm sort of breaking the space time continuum thing here,

0:55.2

because I'm now recording this after the conversation you were about to hear, and after the intro

0:58.8

that you're about to hear. But I wanted to apologize. Some listeners get really mad when we go

1:03.3

long on this thing, and other people really like it. My own view is that if you're still listening

1:07.6

after 45 minutes, you probably want the conversation to keep going. But as I say in the intro,

1:13.4

you're about to hear, when I talk to my friend David Bonson, the conversation goes a lot to

1:17.7

different places, and this one was no exception. And so if sort of like, you know, the weather in the

1:23.9

Bahamas, wait five minutes, and you'll get something different. If you're interested in coronavirus

1:29.4

in the economy, great. You'll love it from the beginning. If you're more interested in the future

1:34.0

of conservatism and all that stuff, stick around to the end. Thanks for listening.

1:40.7

Today's episode is brought to you by Zippercruiter, and our new friends at drinkhydrant.com.

1:50.2

I'll tell you more about both of them in a little bit. But I want to get jump right into it.

1:55.8

We have this for third time, third time, third time. But first time in the studio. Yeah, yeah,

2:00.7

very exciting. Friend of the podcast, friend of mine, friend of the dispatch, friend of national review,

2:07.7

friend of all good things, friend of capitalism. David Bonson, he's the head of the

2:13.6

ironically titled Bonson group, which is sort of like that old joke about what were the odds of

2:18.0

Lou Gehrig coming down with Lou Gehrig's disease. He's the host of dividend cafe, a podcast about

filthy lucre and whatnot. And he is a runaway front runner for the John Podoritz prize in ill-timed
