Summary

To outside observers, it may appear that Jonah Goldberg is living easy and keeping beach time. Be not deceived! Jonah is as full of intellectual vim as ever, jumping straight into energy markets and the strait of Hormuz, the risks of Trump bailing on the war in Iran, “Jewish” synagogues, the excesses of Epstein demagoguery, the stupidity of idealized class conflict, and—finally—an epic defense of Edmund Burke against his romantiphobic detractors. Show Notes:—Jonah’s visit to an oil rig—WSJ: “Will Trump ‘Fight to Win’ in Iran?”—Washington Post: “How Ro Khanna turned a sex trafficking scandal into a campaign stunt”—Wednesday’s G-File—“Do Democrats Want to Be 'Normal'? Survey Analysis of Today’s Democratic Coalition”—Allen Guelzo on The Remnant—Oakeshott: Rationalism in Politics and other essays—Jonah’s underrated second book The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a non-partisan, conservative perspective.
