Summary

Does our culture need to become more nationalistic? What about reorienting our society towards “the highest Good,” as defined by your religion of choice? Stephanie Slade, managing editor at Reason, doesn’t think so, but she brings a unique perspective that many other libertarians don’t: she’s also a practicing Catholic. In this episode, Stephanie explains how she balances these two commitments that, on the surface, seem at odds with one another. Jonah also picks a fight with her about drug ads on primetime television. Show Notes: -Stephanie’s piece for Reason on nationalism -Stephanie’s piece on balancing her Catholicism and libertarianism -Stephanie on the Roman Circus podcast -The peak of the French-Ahmari Wars -The Free State Project -Free will in the Catechism -Randolph Bourne on the “Health of the State” -Jonah on Nick Gillespie’s Reason Interview -Bellamy’s Children -Daniel Burns on liberal practice versus liberal theory -Yoram Hazony’s beef with classical liberalism -Trump calling himself a nationalist -Beer: just as important as the Epic of Gilgamesh -Earnest.com/dingo

0:00.0	Greetings, dear listeners. This is Jonah Goldberg, host of the Remnant Podcast, which is
0:29.0	convenient because this is the Remnant Podcast. It's brought to you by the Dispatch and Dispatch Media.
0:34.2	You can go to the Dispatch.com to sign up for newsletters, listen to our other podcasts,
0:39.6	you know, just becoming an all-around better person, maybe even learn how to bake
0:49.4	seven-minute brownies in five minutes or something like that. I don't know. Anyway,
0:54.0	and today's episode is brought to you by our friends at Ernest, more about them in a little bit. So,
1:03.2	today's guest, you know, checks many, many of the boxes that the various bean counters and
1:11.9	rabbit hordes out there have demanded that we check. We often hear we need more women. We often
1:18.9	hear we need more devout Catholics. We often hear we need more libertarians. We often hear we need
1:25.1	to have more anti-nationalists. And so we have like seven or eight people in the room to fill all
1:31.2	that. But instead we actually just have Stephanie Slade managing editor reason. That's correct.
1:37.8	Welcome to the podcast. Thanks for having me. Yeah, about once a week, someone randomly tweets at me,
1:42.8	why don't you have her on? And, you know, I'm a, nothing else. I am a slave to the populous masses. So,
1:54.1	and I actually have this theory of this strategy. I think I'm going to start exploring of just
1:58.6	simply inviting one reason writer after another until one of my oldest and dearest friends,
2:06.6	Ron Bailey, is so ashamed of his refusal to come on that he just caves. Because I just heard that he
2:12.2	was on Gillespie's podcast. And I know just because he works for reason that he might give them
2:18.2	preference. But I've been asking Ron to come on for about a year and a half now. Oh, I'm sorry to
2:22.7	hear that. I'll put in a good word for you. I mean, depending on how this goes. Yeah, fair enough.
2:27.7	Fair enough. When Ron and I used to work together, he was my boss for a while when he was a television
2:33.7	producer. And he used to, when we would pick on him too much, you could hear him at the Xerox
2:40.8	machine just very passive aggressively in a stage whisper saying, poor Ron, I'm asking for sympathy
