Murray, Madison, and the Moderate Middle: As The Remnant kicks back into gear, we figured it would be best to let Jonah make his trek back to D.C. and instead treat you to a secret artifact from a few days after the election. This is a conversation between Jonah and AEI emeritus scholar Charles Murray on the state of libertarianism and liberalism (both of the “small-l” variants) in the aftermath of November 2020. Murray explains why he’s pessimistic, while he and Jonah also extol the virtues of a Madisonian system, and upon reflection, they both relish in being on the right side of the debate that character is indeed destiny in the political realm: “The idea that the United States can continue to be … exceptional without character being a leading principle is ridiculous—it can’t happen.” Show Notes: -Fusionism -John Adams: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” -Eric Voegelin on how lapses into f by The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg

Ep. 903 The Democrats Have a Big Problem: In this episode I address the political problem the Democrats have created for themselves in the shutdown fight. I also address the reason that the Roger Stone indictment is devastating for the collusion narrative. Finally, I address the catastrophe in Venezuela and the liberal effort to cover it up. News Picks:Debunking liberal lies about Venezuelan socialism. Andy McCarthy’s new piece is a devastating blow to the “collusion” narrative. The discovery process in the Roger Stone case could be devastating for Mueller. The Supreme Court will decide a critical case in defense of the Second Amendment. Roger Stone’s indictment is a big flop. There’s still no collusion. Big move by President Trump as he remakes the federal court system. Is Hillary going to run again?
