Summary

To distinguish The Remnant’s 400th episode, Jonah thought it would be refreshing to bring on a guest renowned among fans for his cheerfulness: Kevin Williamson, National Review’s roving correspondent. Together, they take an extra long, extra nerdy voyage through the morass that is modern American politics to determine whether the end times will really be as awesome as Kevin predicted several years ago. Why are young men so dispossessed? Is there any harm in grifting to earn a living? And will January 6 be remembered for presaging the death of American democracy? It’s a conversation that covers everything from cattle trading to Satan’s balls, and we’re grateful to you all for listening. Show Notes: - Kevin’s previous Remnant appearance - Kevin on the never-ending coup - John Eastman’s plan to overturn the election - Jonah: “This Was Always the Plan” - Jim Glassman on Hillary’s cows - Make bureaucracy great again - Sidney Powell’s latest insanity - Kevin’s time among the flat-earthers - The decline in male college enrollment - Twilight of Democracy, by Anne Applebaum - The Smallest Minority, Kevin’s defense of the individual - Charles C.W. Cooke: “Roe is the Problem” - Kevin on Texas’ “heartbeat bill” - Mad Dogs and Englishmen on the Met gala - Kevin’s spat with Dan Bongino - Kevin’s latest book, still in the running for “Greatest Subtitle Ever,” Big White Ghetto: Dead Broke, Stone-Cold Stupid, and High on Rage in the Dank Woolly Wilds of the “Real America” Learn more about your ad choices.

0:35.9	There's been much anticipation.
0:38.9	There have been people like Henry and the Snovs of Kenosa waiting outside of my house
0:43.6	in my office for this episode, because this is the 400th episode
0:47.4	of the Dispatch not counting the mysteries of episode 11, which we will not get into.
0:57.1	And I grew to really despise the fact that there were so many heightened expectations on this podcast
1:03.9	because it truly is just an entirely arbitrary number.
1:09.4	It's far more arbitrary.
1:10.4	You know what I'm really annoying seeing in Goodwill Hunting, where Matt Damon says to the girl,
1:16.4	the girl says, I want to get coffee and she's a sure, might as well just go get,
1:19.4	why don't we get caramel instead?
1:21.4	Because it's just as arbitrary to eat caramel, it's drink coffee.
1:24.4	Damon was wrong there, just like he was wrong about how it's in.
1:27.4	Like, there is a reason why people drink coffee and drinking caramel would be just weird.
1:33.4	But like, or eating caramel is just weird, but like the 400th episode, this number is a holy arbitrary

1:46.4	And so among the most demanded people that we get for this episode is with us here today.
