Greetings, dear listeners. This is Jonah Goldberg and this is another exciting addition of

the Remnant Podcast. This week is brought to you by two wonderful sponsors, Zip Recruiter and Donors Trust.

We'll hear more about both of them in a little bit. So we're recording this late on Wednesday and yesterday was the midterms.

I don't know if all the listeners know that. And so we wanted to do, you know, sometimes we do rank punditry because we can't think of anything better to do.

But sometimes we are called to do rank punditry. Sometimes the gods required it of us. Sometimes we are called forth from the the the adamantine concrete depths of the earth to deliver rank punditry.

And when these, during such times one could look no further than one gym garrity. Jim, welcome back to the Remnant Podcast.

Jonah, it is always a joy to join you and boy, it's nice to know that when you're no pundits getting rancor than me, huh?

You are, we won't even call it rank, but we'll call it because it's it's it's it's timely. It hasn't grown rank yet. It hasn't no.

Oh, it's a it's a fulgent punditry. This is arguably one of my favorite days of the year.

Is it really? Because you know, campaigns and elections have always been part of my beat at national review.

Going back to the carry spot days. This is you know, and each month as you get closer and closer to the election, it gets a little more intense.

The I don't know. I hear on Twitter, you lament the was it? Are you up to like 500,000 unopened emails in your?

No, no, just a 221 thing only to order 20 without. Yeah. So I assume you're getting a lot of the same campaign email releases that I am.

Yes. Just pelted all the time. My following this race at all doesn't matter. They're just going to send it to me anyway.

I hit unsubscribe. They put me back on the media list. I block. They find some new email address that you know, there's tension and there's tension and there's election night.

And then it happens and some nights it's really terrible. Some nights it's pretty good. Some nights it's really good. And you know, I you know, this this morning. It's always like, okay, it's done.

And you know, generally I've got a calmer schedule for the rest of the year. But this is always the big exciting one because now we've got.

After like months of speculation, what's going to happen? We actually have data. We know what happened. It's not you know, right? So.

What happened? What happened? If you're on the right side of the spectrum, generally rooting for Republicans, the Senate at a great night.

As of now, they picked up three and they're thinking they got the fourth with McSally in Arizona. And so for this.

But it sounded like the the mayor is mayor Copa. What was the count? Yeah. Apparently they take a. So right before I came here, apparently Arizona.

Because it's a dry heat, they count the votes extremely slowly. And that apparently McSally's first house race. It took him 11 days to figure out who the winner is. So it could very well be a longer wait for the results there than we want.
