When Walz Met Vance

The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg

Recording live from the Cosmo the Wonder Dog Memorial Studio in the catacombs of the American Enterprise Institute, it’s the rankest pundits east of the Mississippi: Jonah Goldberg and Chris Stirewalt! Chris is back in Remnant action and ready to talk Tim Walz’s anxieties, grocery store monopolies, and J.D. Vance’s personality disorder.

A few things they know for certain—normie Republicans are feeling left out and low-propensity voters are playing hard to get—but many questions remain unanswered. Are there persuadable voters who are ready to give Trump the popular vote? Did Vance’s debate performance help the Republican ticket, or was it just an act of self-service? Is Walz duping the progressives, and if so, do they believe him? All shall be revealed through the prophecies of Brother Stirewalt, alongside a raucous discussion of the best Grizzly Bear actors of the 20th century, the minutiae of some controversy in the pollster world, and the long-forgotten, oft-neglected elections in the House and Senate.
