Summary

In preparation for Thanksgiving, Jonah invites the latest gold jacket-wearer Will Saletan back on The Remnant to consider what, if anything, is so uniquely great about America. Their conversation quickly develops into a discussion of nationalism, universal principles, and whether America is simply an idea, with a generous amount of rank punditry mixed in for good measure. Is the COVID-19 pandemic over? What does the Virginia result mean for both parties? And can Biden’s presidency recover after a disastrous few months? Show Notes: - Will’s page at Slate - Will’s previous Remnant appearance - Paxlovid Americana - Will on critical race theory and the Virginia result - Jonah: “What Inflation and CRT Have in Common” - Rich Lowry: “Don’t Rewrite Mark Twain” - Paul Gosar gets censured - Jonah: “Mugged By Fallacy” - Seymour Martin Lipset on American exceptionalism - Jonah’s fondness for Thanksgiving Learn more about your ad choices.
