Summary

In a continued effort to provide you, dear listener, with a break from the incessant debate coverage, Jonah invites American Enterprise Institute foreign policy superstar Danielle Pletka on the show to find out what the hell is going on in the rest of the world. The tour begins with the Ukraine-Russia war, with Danielle and Jonah setting their sights on Kursk to discuss how the incursion will affect the course of the conflict and the Russian psyche. They then turn their sights to Israel, making the case for moral clarity on the left, highlighting the nefarious forces behind pro-terrorist activity in the U.S., and calling out the useful idiots in the isolationist camp. Show Notes: —Danielle’s Substack: “What the Hell is Going On?” —Danielle’s Podcast: Again, “What the Hell is Going On?” —Gen. Jack Keane on Kursk —The Reagan Foundation’s foreign policy survey — “The Anti-Semitism Money and Power Network—and How to Smash It” The Remnant is a production of The Dispatch, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a non-partisan, conservative perspective.
