Coming at you from Baton Rouge, Jonah Goldberg is ornery and looking to settle some scores. After covering his bases on Iran, the ethics of criticizing the war, and the metrics of success, he moves on to lazy media criticism, ethnic humor, goyslop, and James Fishback. Finally, in a Pulitzer-worthy climax, Jonah definitively dismantles the legacy of Paul Ehrlich and annihilates Steve Hayes' obsession with the word “junto.” Show Notes:—Wednesday G-File: “An Anti-Manifesto on the Iran War”—The Intelligence from Economist Podcasts+—Eli Lake and Andrew Sullivan Debate the Iran War—Last week's Ruminant—Charles Hilu: “Florida's College Republicans and Their Love Affair With James Fishback”—The American Conservative: “Is James Fishback the William F. Buckley of Florida?”—Jonah: “The Lasting Damage of Paul Ehrlich's Pessimism”—Ben Wattenberg: “The Nonsense Explosion”—Kevin Williamson in The Dispatch on Paul Ehrlich—Jonah's book: Suicide of the West—The New York Times' absurd obituary of Paul Ehrlich—Jonah on The Overton Window The Remnant is a production of The Dispatch, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a non-partisan, conservative perspective.

Opposition to President Trump's continued attacks on Iran is growing. Not only from resentful European allies and Democratic Party leaders, but from parts of his MAGA base. Join moderator Jeffrey Goldberg, Idrees Ali of Reuters, Stephen Hayes of The Dispatch, Vivian Salama of The Atlantic and David Sanger of The New York Times to discuss this and more.
With our nation at war and under threat, the last thing you'd want is uncertainty and a staffing shakeup at the agency responsible for protecting our country. But here we are. We talk about why Joe Kent, the U.S. head of counterterrorism, resigned, and whether we may be better off with a replacement given his history of promoting conspiracy theories. Also, President Trump vowed to take Cuba. We try to understand the foreign policy that's taking shape where he seems to favor cutting the head of a country but leaving the body. In other words, don't get too caught up in the details of what's next because it's not my administration's problem. Plus we take your questions, including what's the difference between professional politicians and professional candidates. Mo Elleithee joins us on the left, and Sarah Isgur is with us on the right.Producer: Leo DuranHost: David Greene Guests: Mo Elleithee, executive director at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service - @MoElleithee Sarah Isgur, senior editor at The Dispatch - @whignewtons

After greeting our patriot hero with laurels and kisses, Jonah Goldberg sets Yuval up for a philosophical tour de force, covering the president's war powers, cultural and institutional change, education in republicanism, the effects of new technology on our Constitutional order, the Scottish Enlightenment, rationalism vs. reason, Hayek vs. Burke, and the new right in the post-Trump world.

Send a textYou can do everything “right” on the job and still end up quietly falling apart at home. Part two with Nikki Mason gets real about what first responder mental health support actually needs to look like when the stakes are high and the window for help is small.We start with the hard conversation many departments avoid: how to get chiefs and administrators to back real treatment instead of rushing someone back after a few required days off. Nikki explains why a first responder agreeing to care is a rare moment worth protecting, and we talk about how the leadership case can be framed in human terms and in dollars and cents, including the true cost of losing a trained police officer, firefighter, paramedic, dispatcher, or correctional professional.Then we break down what a voluntary first responder treatment program can look like at Granite Recovery Centers' Rally Point program in New Hampshire: no locked doors, a supportive environment, daily groups, individual therapy, case management, medical support when needed, and recovery options that respect personal choice. We also dig into Granite's Enjoy Life campaign and why rebuilding connection, fun, and community is not fluff but a relapse prevention tool. If you have ever wondered whether “connection” is the missing piece for PTSD, depression, anxiety, or substance use recovery, this conversation gives you language and a path forward.To find Nikki Mason, please visit Granite Recovery Centers - Rally Point Program: Detox, residential, PHP/IOP with lodging up in scenic New Hampshire, all in network with insuranceAlso visit Open Sky - Crisis Intervention Training: 40 hour certificate training for law enforcement & first respondersIf this helped, subscribe, share it with someone on your shift, and leave a review so more first responders can find the support they deserve.DeemedFit: First Responder OwnedWe are a first responder owned company looking to get first responders in the best mental shape.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Andy and Brendan went live after a big TGL Tuesday night playoffs, with one delighting in Jupiter getting to the finals and another down in the dumps over Boston's abdication of the No. 1 seed. They review the night that was down in the SoFi dome and ask some tough questions about the offseason, as well as Tiger's team perhaps skirting roster rules. Then they get to the schedule of the week, with some amusements and guys to monitor down at the Valspar in Tampa, where the course is a bit of a changeup for different reasons. They pick five guys to monitor and some one and done picks. The event of the week goes to a mysterious and un-televised DP World Tour event in China, where there will be "cartners" for the first two rounds. They spend the last chunk of the episode combing through Bryson's galaxy-brain dissertation about rollback down in South Africa, as well as some other quotes about his "compassion" for the world.

To outside observers, it may appear that Jonah Goldberg is living easy and keeping beach time. Be not deceived! Jonah is as full of intellectual vim as ever, jumping straight into energy markets and the strait of Hormuz, the risks of Trump bailing on the war in Iran, “Jewish” synagogues, the excesses of Epstein demagoguery, the stupidity of idealized class conflict, and—finally—an epic defense of Edmund Burke against his romantiphobic detractors.

My guests on this episode are part of a pilot for a potential new series called “Woodstockers”. The show will have its world premiere at SxSW beginning today, Saturday, March 14. On this episode is the show runner and cast members Corbin Bernsen (“LA Law”, “My Friends and Neighbors), director Oliver Bernsen and cast member, and very recent podcast guest, Stephen Tobolowsky (“Groundhog Day”, “Memento”). https://youtu.be/eIH0MpklhHQ In the summer of ’69, Lenny Baker and his best friend Calvin Reddick went to Woodstock. What they witnessed there changed their lives, so much so that they decided to never go home again. Armed with a vision of a new path forward, they built a life in upstate New York alongside Rebecca and Lizzy, two women they met at the festival and married soon after. Decades of willful detachment followed, but every trip has its comedown. Now, more than half a century later and with his marriage up in smoke, Lenny is forced to face a hard truth: the better world they once envisioned never quite arrived… and if it ever does, he won’t be around to see it. Calvin’s sudden death makes that painfully clear.

An FBI alert warns that Iran could retaliate against U.S. military attacks by unleashing drones on the West Coast of America. According to SF Gate, Iran may deliver “drone strikes from an unidentified vessel stationed in an unknown and unconfirmed area off the coast of the United States.” California Governor Gavin Newsom said he has work groups addressing the potential threat and San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie says he's been coordinating with state and federal agencies. With 7 U.S. troops dead, almost 150 wounded, Iranian school girls killed in what appears to be a botched bombing based on outdated intelligence and now reports of threats against California, Trump's is not finding much support for his Iran War.

This video is from the American Minute by Bill Federer. "Old Ironsides" is the nickname of the three-masted frigate USS Constitution.Constructed in 1797, its hull was made of 21-inch-thick planks of very dense Southern Live Oak.During the War of 1812, the crew of British ship HMS Guerriere observed their cannonballs bouncing off the USS Constitution and exclaimed that its sides must be made of iron.Muslim Barbary Pirates of North Africa had captured many American ships: Betsey, Dauphin, Dispatch, Hope, Jane, Jay, Maria, Mary, Minerva, Olive Branch, Oswego, Philadelphia, Polly, President, Sophia, and Thomas, among others.The captured crews were stripped, chained, paraded through the streets, and sold into slavery.When the American ship Polly was captured in 1793, the Barbary captain chided the crew and imprisoning them:“... for your history and superstition in believing in a man who was crucified by the Jews and disregarding the true doctrine of God's last and greatest prophet, Mohammed.”Immediately after Jefferson became President in 1801,Camp Constitution is a New Hampshire based charitable trust. We run a week-long family camp, man information tables at various venues, have a book publishing arm, and post videos from our camp and others that we think are of importance.

In desperate need of a Remnant guest, Jonah Goldberg puts on his trucker hat, drives out to the sleaziest rural bar you can imagine, and dunks Chris Stirewalt's head into a horse trough.

“Beyond the Duplex Planet” is a feature documentary about artist David Greenberger and his unconventional work with senior citizens. In 1979, fresh out of art school, Greenberger took a job as activities director at the Duplex Nursing Home in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. He began conducting quirky interviews with the home's senior citizens, rejecting a pat oral history approach in favor of questions that would spark engagement: “Which do you prefer – coffee or meat?” “Why do people spit?” “What do you think George Washington's voice sounded like?” and “What is embarrassment?” The result of this was The Duplex Planet, an early ‘zine, complete with excerpts from the interviews, as well as offbeat music reviews and poems, unorthodox illustrations and graphics, all by the residents themselves. Over time this material has become the basis for spoken word shows, podcasts, graphic novels and numerous albums, many of these projects featuring well-known artists. Champions and/or collaborators of Greenberger and his senior colleagues include people like magicians Penn & Teller, cartoonists Daniel Clowes and Lynda Barry, musicians Dave Alvin, Bill Frisell, Peter Buck (REM), David Hidalgo and Louie Perez (Los Lobos), artist Ed Ruscha, actors Lili Taylor and Martin Mull, and legions of other fans. Greenberger's work interviewing seniors continues to this day. Beyond the Duplex Planet explores notions of aging and its intersection with art and community. It's also a revealing look at the life of an artist devoted to documenting the elderly who is himself moving into his senior years. The film will have its world premiere at SxSW this month with a number of screenings. And it’s being distributed by Filmwax friend Jim Browne’s Argot Pictures. Beth Harrington is an Emmy-award winning independent producer, director and writer, whose fervor for American history, music and culture has led to a series of critically acclaimed films. Her independent production Welcome to the Club – The Women of Rockabilly, a music documentary about the pioneering women of rock ‘n' roll, was honored with a 2003 Grammy nomination and has been seen on public television and at film festivals in the U.S. and abroad. Beth's most recent work, The Winding Stream – The Carters, The Cashes and The Course of Country Music appeared at over 30 festivals worldwide including a SXSW premiere and has won many top festival awards. Earlier work with WGBH-Boston for the NOVA science series was honored with two national Emmy nominations while her local work with Oregon Public Broadcasting has resulted in six other regional Emmy nominations for historical and public affairs program producing and writing. A rock ‘n' roll singer and guitarist, she is most noted for her years as a member of Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers on Sire Records. https://youtu.be/nzgbOeFOFYk

In this edition of Lady Whistleblown's Brethren Dispatch, a most curious spectacle is placed under the lens of polite society.What began as a modest weekly chronicle of whispers has quickly grown into something rather more substantial. As reports accumulate regarding the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church and its charitable arm, the Rapid Relief Team, Lady Whistleblown observes the increasingly elaborate efforts to manage reputation, narrative, and public perception.From legal manoeuvres and carefully orchestrated diversions to a globe-spanning podcast production discussing the virtues of Maple Creek, the story begins to resemble a theatrical performance of remarkable scale.One might almost admire the choreography.Yet when the spectacle becomes quite so elaborate, even the most seasoned observers of society cannot help but raise an eyebrow.Indeed… one might say that even the Devil appears to be taking notes.#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #exclusivebrethren #maplecreek #cultawareness #cult #brucedhales

This is a special episode, a conversation with Hope, about the situation here in Abu Dhabi and the broader Middle East thanks to the US war on Iran. Here are the headlines from the discussion:...
After one heck of a week, Jonah Goldberg has a lot to unpack. Jonah visits the advantages of having Congress on board for war, the case for attacking Iran sooner rather than later, Marco Rubio's Israel gaffe, Pete Hegseth's chest thumping, Kristi Noem's entrance into the dust bin of history, Trump's corrupt “industrial policy,” the Anthropic/Pentagon dustup, and primary elections in the Lone Star State. Note: If you're in the Baton Rouge area, Jonah will be speaking at LSU on March 20 as part of the John Breaux Symposium. The Symposium is free and open to the public (with food provided!), but you need to register in advance. Show Notes:—George Orwell: “Politics and the English Language”—Wednesday's G-File—Jonah's LA Times column on regime change—Eli Lake on The Remnant—Marco Rubio Explains Why The US Launched An Attack On Iran—Philip Klein at National Review: “No, Marco Rubio Didn't Claim That Israel Dragged Trump into War with Iran” The Remnant is a production of The Dispatch, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a non-partisan, conservative perspective.

The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, killing that country's leader and sparking celebration from some Iranians. What's not clear is why. President Trump's reasoning for all this has been a moving target. We'll talk about the stakes for the region and for the Trump presidency. Also, the Congressional effort to limit the president's war powers falls short. Is it time to just give up on Congress playing a role in authorizing military action? The midterm elections kicked off with primaries in several states on Tuesday, and we talk about what we learned from the results in Texas where the race for Republican John Cornyn's senate seat is heating up. We talk with Mo Elleithee on the left and Sarah Isgur on the right.Producer: Leo DuranHost: David Greene Guests: Mo Elleithee, executive director at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service - @MoElleithee Sarah Isgur, senior editor at The Dispatch - @whignewtons
