Greetings, dear listeners. This is another episode with whole judgment on whether it's

exciting to later episode of the Remnant Podcast. I'm Jonah Goldberg and this

week's episode is brought to us by the wonderful people at podium and by quote

unquote conservative Bill Crystal. Sorry that's an inside joke because there's

some people writing really stupid things about Bill. The other sponsor is

conversations with Bill Crystal. We'll talk more about that in a little bit as

well. This is our last podcast before thanks giving and I don't know when we'll

be back in the studio because I plan on having trip to fan poisoning but we are

excited to have in here an old friend of mine. You're officially you're writing

name is James right but I've always known you as Jamie. Yeah that's correct.

Okay so with we'll go with Jamie. I guess I'll forget to say James. Jamie

Kirchick of the Brookings institution which you know there's a certain

co-versus Pepsi thing going on with the Brookings institution. We try to keep you

guys at arms length but we'll make an exception for you. Welcome aboard. Thank

you Jonah. We wanted to have you on for your book the end of Europe which we didn't

get a chance to but we're gonna talk about that in a little bit but what sparked

the idea in my head was before we get into it why don't we so you work for some

very toothy institution within the Brookings institution or center or whatever.

A center on the United States in Europe. Yeah. Yeah. Okay so center on the

good guys. Yeah. Okay and then you are a correspondent or a

contributing editor for tablet. I'm a columnist for tablet. Correspondent for the

Daily Beast. Okay. And write for a bunch of other places. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
