Summary

Fellow Dispatcher David French returns to the program on the publishing date of his new book, Divided We Fall: America’s Secession Threat and How to Restore Our Nation. If you’ve looked around at American politics over the last few years, and you’ve started to view the coastal states and the middle of the country as a bickering couple – wondering, “Why don’t they just break up already? – David’s book is for you. Jonah asks David to outline some of the scenarios by which a fracturing of the republic could happen, and works through the ways that America’s spirit could be successfully restored – all while avoiding an Articles of Confederation-style mess in which the country’s regions become too individually weak to do anything. Join for this enlightening discussion, and stick around until the end for characteristic rankness on Tenet, Amazon’s The Boys, and the mighty Dune. Show Notes: -Divided We Fall: America’s Secession Threat and How to Restore Our NationDavid’s book, -Don’t forget to take advantage of our 30 day free trial of The Dispatch -Jonah’s piece on Supreme Court deal-making -David’s piece on the same topic -Cass Sunstein: “The Law of Group Polarization” -Is Barack Obama the Messiah?
