With his faithful canine in tow, Kevin Williamson saddles up for another Remnant escapade. This time, he and Jonah explore the Mar-a-Lago raid, the problem with new ideas in politics, and the Texas midterm elections. Plus, there’s plenty of dingo discussion mixed in for your edification. Is the president above the law? Should dog shows be banned? And can Kevin’s neighbors convince him to vote for Beto O’Rourke?

    At the end of your show, and I finally just listened to it, you mentioned the time of mourning in Cuba for Franco. And speaking of Hitler as a ‘pretty bad dude’, would you support a memorial or statue dedicated to the man who killed Hitler? It seems to me that there just isn’t enough praise happening for that individual who saved us from the Nazi regime…

    Worth bringing up one of the best things that Kevin Williamson ever said on the "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" podcast:

    Rich Lowry got mad at him and made him remove a line in a piece when he referred to Eric and Donald Trump Jr as "Uday and Qusay"

    I don't think I'd mock and ignore 'cultural marxism'. It's real and it's bad. Classical Liberals are right to fight it.
    The problem is that the MAGA crowd has debased the discussions on cultural marxism so we end up having to counter their nutty BS on the right which annoys me to no end. But, I think it's a mistake to downplay cultural marxism.

    Always enjoy hearing from Mr. Williamson and his soothingly flat West Texas cadence.

    Keep up on current events in my native state mainly via social media, and most of my peer group is pro- Beto and was pro Wendy Davis.

    Having grown up in a sparsely populated, non-urban, very-long-drive tolerant part of Texas, that other world has my ear too. Texas is not as special as it thinks, but it can serve as a microcosm of the country in some ways.

    Ha. 15min mark: My mother does believe Trump is a law abiding citizen! She completely buys into his version of events and reads the Epoch Times for "real" news which already even has a documentary "The Real Story about the Trump Raid." She seriously thinks anything bad reported about Trump is "Fake News."
