Greetings, dear listeners. This is Jonah Goldberg. This is another exciting episode of the Remnant Podcast.

This week's episode is brought to you both by Zip Recruiter and by Americans for Prosperity. We'll hear more about those guys in a little bit.

But let's get right to it.

Kristen, not Kirsten, our dog walker is named Kirsten and I'm always getting Kirsten and Kristen confused.

Kristen Saltis Anderson joins the elite ranks of Return Guests on the Remnant Podcast.

You're a poster person, extraordinary, you read about politics, you're a, for word geeks out there, a Sephologist, one who studies elections.

And a friend of the show, welcome back.

Thanks for having me.

All right, so there's a lot going on in the news Howard Schultz, maybe America's most boring guy, which is an interesting thing for a guy who sells caffeine for a living, is running on a third party thing.

We've got some interesting polls out here, but the thing that all America wants to know about is Wally.

So if you follow Kristen on Twitter, you know that she's got a golden fever that you, do I understand why you got it in Turkey?

So I did not go to Turkey, but he is from Turkey.

Why are you importing Turks that American dogs won't do? I mean, what is that about?

So I, when I was growing up, I did not have a dog. I was always the friend that when I would go to a friend's house, they'd have to put their dog in a crate because I would just be too scared.

But in time and through puppy sitting, a friend's puppy and such, I became a dog person.

Really wanted a dog, but don't know anything about dogs.

Yeah.

Don't know anything about taking care of one. My husband grew up with a golden retriever.

And so knew about the breed, knew what's normal, how to take care of them, et cetera.

I'm not America's most harmless dog.

That he's so fantastic.

But I also really, I wanted to adopt a dog that needed a home.
