Summary

There’s turmoil in the People’s Republic of The Dispatch. Democratically elected President Jonah J. Goldberg was deposed in the early hours of the morning by dissident General Kevin D. Williamson, who has taken over The Remnant airwaves in an often-precedented coup d’état. Kevin is joined by Mitch Kokai, senior political analyst at the John Locke Foundation, to discuss the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and the potential consequences on the fast-approaching presidential election. Kevin and Mitch negate the loony conspiracies stemming from the storm, discuss the status of polling sites across the state, and dig into the voter demographics of the southern swing state. Mitch explains why North Carolina is in a unique position this election season, and makes a case that it’s time for the sane among us to reclaim the term “RINO” once and for all.
