Summary

Though we all got precious little sleep the past two weeks, we are nothing if not devoted to our listeners. In this belated Ruminant, Jonah looks back at a week that contained years (yet also very little). Is there much to say about J.D. Vance's nomination and RNC speech? Did Trump, having survived an assassination attempt, cross the Hegelian threshold and become a nigh-Napoleonic age spirit? Will Jonah get to sleep in his own bed this weekend? Important questions all. Show Notes: -WATCH: Dispatch after hours reacting to The Neverending Trump Speech. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Oh, Ladies and gentlemen, uh, can I please have your attention. Can I please have your attention? Greetings your listeners this is Jonah Goldberg host

0:29.6

the remnant podcast brought to you by the dispatch and dispatch media. It's Saturday morning.

0:34.5

No, you're not listening to this on Saturday morning. I'm recording on Saturday

0:37.8

morning and I want to give my sincere apologies to Adam, but he really stepped up to edit this on a Saturday and I'm grateful to

0:50.1

him. So it was quite a week, you know, I never know how much you guys care about the travel log stuff.

0:57.2

Although, you know, Bill Buckley once wrote a whole book I think called Overdrive on just how crazy his schedule was and my schedule is nowhere

1:04.7

near as crazy as his is or his was but here's what happened because there's some

1:10.3

confusion out there so I was on vacation in upstate New York. I had to get to Milwaukee on a Sunday night,

1:17.0

in time for Sunday night to do pre-convention convention coverage.

1:21.0

So I got up at like five in the morning, had to drive to Plattsburgh, which was about an hour or

1:30.1

plus away from where I was, got to Plattsburgh, which is a, it's pretty much the airport you'd

1:36.6

think it would be.

1:37.6

I had to take one of those tiny, what I thought was going to be one of those tiny little planes,

1:40.9

it was a tiny little airline, I can remember what it was called now. And there was nobody working at the check-in desk. No one really knew why, but we, we Hardy Few waited around for, I don't know, 45 minutes,

1:55.7

then finally people showed up, and we flew to Philly,

2:00.8

where I changed planes, hung out with a whole bunch of GOP convention delegates from

2:07.0

Philly or from Pennsylvania who are pretty rah-ra.

2:10.7

It's kind of fun to see that kind of enthusiasm. It's also kind of a little off putting just because given my sort of persona non grata status with a lot of that demographic, you know, I just don't want to get into arguments with people.

2:23.4

And, but I didn't, I did, I did weirdly bump into Jim Hoff, a gateway pundit.

2:40.4
