One thing I love about these commentators is that they are intellectually consistent. They give the president his due when he earns it. They criticize him for his foibles when that is warranted. They also cross swords with fellow intellectuals when they disagree with those intellectuals. They love this country–I love Jonah, but I also loved the July 4th podcast and found the different thoughts expressed about historical figures/ideas very interesting!!!–yet they aren’t “tribal.” I never miss listening to them.
Great podcast! I also really enjoyed the July Fourth episode. I thought Rich made a very good case for Washington having been indispensable, but everyone’s take was thought-provoking. Listening is engaging, also good fun. Look forward to the next episode.
What do Trump’s fans think he’s fighting for?
He’s landing blows on the media, that’s what. Trump is punching back when the MEDIA goes after him, and for many of Trump’s supporters, that’s what drew him to them.
Given the amount of scorn and contempt that the media has heaped on flyover country since the mid-1960s, they find it refreshing to see a politician not be cowed into apologizing for intemperate remarks or for saying something that the media willfully misinterprets as Something Horrible.
Policy? Yawn. Driving the vanguard of the culture wars into fits of apoplexy? Popcorn.
It’s really that simple.
Another excellent podcast. Bravo
Speaking of admitting your mistakes, when will the writers at NR apologize for supporting Evan McMullin for president?
Josh Bell has surpassed the Pirates’ record for homeruns by a rookie before the All-Star break. The previous record was held by a guy named Ralph Kiner.
Why should they apologize? That’s who they supported. Did you apologize to anyone if you didn’t vote for President Obama in 2008/2012?
