Jonah Goldberg, weary of the grind, needs some R&R. Not being much of a beach man and finding ping pong boring, he turns to the one activity which puts the pep back in his step and color in his cheeks: day drinking. Wait … checks notes … rather, Jonah turns to his other favorite recreation: talking about conservatism.
Today Jonah’s partner in crime is political scientist and notorious conservatism nerd George Hawley. Join this dynamic duo as they dive into the meaning of “right” and “left,” the many new rights, populist tension, the cult of unity, the progressive era, socialism, identity politics on the right, ethnic politics, antisemitism, Russell Kirk, the horseshoe theory, me-too Republicans, and conservatism as ideology and its origins.
