Welcome to the dispatch podcast. I'm Sarah Isger and I've got Steve Hayes, Jonah Goldberg and drum roll please new host of the Monday dispatch podcast, our interview podcast, Jamie Weinstein.

Jamie, we're thrilled.

I'm thrilled as well.

It's a real honor to be here and associated with the dispatch.

As I mentioned to you when we're offline that to the extent there is a

publication that matches both my temperament and ideological outlook it is the

dispatch so it is truly truly an honor to to finally have an association and y'all

listeners are in for a super treat because Jamie is at his tip-top interviewing people

from across the political spectrum I think you'll really enjoy the

interviews with people he disagrees with the most and yeah these are going to be

on the same stream as this podcast they'll come out on Mondays but for right now

Jamie's gonna you know toss it up with us a little

here in our in our little roundtable podcast. So we have plenty to talk about today.

We'll do a little GOP check-in on the 2024 race. I have some thoughts. I want to bounce off the boys here.

And then, of course, the Biden primary challenge from Dean Phillips as well as those independent candidates, be they

Cornell West or RFK Jr. And finally, are we witnessing the death of the social justice movement on the left as, you know, well, we'll just

dive into that. I think you can guess where that's going. Let's dive right in.

I want to talk about Mike Pence dropping out of the 2024 GOP primary.

I know I have the side bet with Steve, high stakes,

but Pence dropping out on the one hand tells you where the Republican is or where the Republican Party

Sorry has been and where it's not anymore that Mike Pence the guy who sort of has every checkmark, every policy from the Reagan

Republican era, got no traction in the 2024 GOP primary.
