Jonah Goldberg hosts Jerusalem Demsas for a wide-ranging political podcast

The Remnant podcast, produced by The Dispatch, features Jonah Goldberg in conversation with Jerusalem Demsas, the founder of The Argument and a prominent center-left voice. Over the episode, the pair explore philosophical distinctions between positive and negative freedoms and assess the evolving landscape of American colleges. They critique the Democratic Socialists of America and evaluate policy proposals associated with Zohran Mamdani, while also scrutinizing the Democratic Party’s internal weaknesses.

Housing affordability, the merits of a long-term strategic approach, and the broader battle of ideas receive detailed attention. Additionally, the hosts discuss the fractured epistemic environment, the impact of oligarchic money in politics, and how technology fuels groupthink and undermines robust political parties.
