Summary

The close of another week brings another indulgent Ruminant, in which Jonah dedicates an inordinately long rant to the one subject he’s unquestionably an expert on: his own beliefs. Today’s topics include the latest Republican presidential debate, Joe Biden’s prospects for 2024, the ongoing conflict in Israel, and David Brooks’ recent suggestion that Jonah belongs on the “right edge of the left,” all of which raises important questions: How likely is it that someone other than Biden will be the Democratic nominee? Is there really a distinction between anti-Zionism and antisemitism? Why will Jonah never consider himself a leftist? And will the Fair Jessica’s efforts to end the solo podcast ever prove successful? Show Notes: - The Dispatch Podcast, recorded live from New York, on the latest GOP debate - An audience Q&A with Jonah and Steve, available exclusively for Dispatch subscribers - Jonah: “How Anti-Zionism Shrugs Off Antisemitism” - The Remnant with David Brooks - Jonah’s review of Yuval Levin’s The Great Debate - Bid to win a lunch with Jonah in D.C.

0:49.7	to meet all these people who really support what we're doing and are grateful for it.
0:53.7	Today I have my debut on Chris Wallace's new show. We're going to record it early this evening or late this
1:00.6	afternoon and as you can probably tell my my brain is still pretty
1:06.9	fuzzy so hopefully this process will wake me up and get me going about About the debate itself,
1:14.0	I think one of the first things you have to just sort of say
1:16.7	is that it's just not that important
1:19.3	and it's gonna be forgotten, much like those midterm elections. We can put them both in the, you know,
1:26.7	there are these certain events that happen in the course of a campaign that are the
1:31.9	news peg for hundreds of thousands of words over many days and then or
1:38.0	weeks or months and then they happen and they're pretty much forgotten within 48 to 72 hours.
1:48.0	I personally think that the midterm elections, that not
