If Jonah had it his way, “The Fighting Uruk-hai” would be playing softly in the background of this entire episode, but he’s lost his privileges.
If that doesn’t give you an idea of what this Remnant episode entails, shame on you—but we’ll give you a few hints anyway. Jonah is joined by Christopher Cox, former congressman and SEC chair, to discuss his new book, Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn.
Christopher has taken a new approach to his biography of Jonah’s arch nemeses, focusing on the women’s suffrage movement and Wilson’s views on race. Jonah and Christopher discuss the historically hagiographic treatment of Wilson, the highly unwoke construction of American progressivism, the relationship between the women’s suffrage movement and Jim Crow laws, and Jonah’s litany of grievances with the undistinguished man of the hour.
