Fairy tales can come true, and it may happen to you on today’s Remnant, which sees Jonah reunite with Chris Stirewalt for more rank punditry, dated pop culture references, and gratuitous Clinton bashing. They begin by exploring the Roe leak, digging into what it means for abortion law and how Biden should handle the situation, before turning to J.D. Vance’s victory in Ohio and what we can expect from the Pennsylvania Senate primary. Tune in for political insight, but stick around to see whether Jonah and Chris can resist discussing testicle tanning.

    He should be a semi regular. Heh. Maybe he has better things to do but I love his appearances.

    Always good to have Chris Stirewalt on the Remnant. He hits on something real with his comments about our worship of youth. It’s unhealthy to obsess with staying “forever young.” I agree completely with the importance of venerating wisdom rather than youthfulness. But it isn’t just middle aged people who have been harmed by the cult of youth. One reason so many of my peers struggle with growing up and becoming real adults is that we’re such a youth-centered culture. As if “the best years of your life” are 18-22 and then you spend the rest of your life trying to relive them. Which is crazy. And a terribly unhappy way to go about life.

    I always scream a little "yes!" in my head when I see the words "Chris Stirewalt" in the description.

    I enjoyed this, yet I want to push back on Jonah's opinion that the left/Dems are being alarmists about what this may mean for other legislation. From my perspective, and from what I have read, we are getting this from the Alito's words himself - the fact that he mentions other cases involving right to privacy - even Sarah on Advisory Opinions thought it was too much and should be toned down. This is where this alarmism is coming from.

    The two of you together are some of my favorite podcasts. In fact, as soon as I see that Chris is going to be on, I tell my husband, and we both get excited!

    Excellent episode. It’s always fun when Chris is on.

    It’s a good point about the maximalists in each party being a roadblock to either party becoming a majority party. As a Republican, this vexes me. I’m definitely more maximalist on the abortion issue personally, but find it far, far more prudent for the party to advocate for restrictions after the first trimester. I really wish more people, particularly party leaders and politicians, would take a more coalition-building approach that would allow them to get most of what they want as opposed to an all-or-nothing, us-versus-them approach.

    It’s possible that we’ll end up getting there anyways. It’s ironic that I now see the pro-choice side arguing that the majority of the country favors abortions at least through the first trimester, whereas last week it was pro-lifers arguing that most of the country favors restrictions in the second trimester. Different side of the same coin.

    I’d argue that ending up there would be a major, major pro-life victory. And I’m quite confident that, eventually, we will end up there. But I’m also thinking that we’re going to end up taking the stupidest route to that destination.

      I'm a pro choicer D - would never advocate for late term termination unless life of mother was at stake. My female friends are the same. Don't know many people who would favor a term after 2nd Tri.

        And yet Jen Psaki and the Democratic Senate candidates in Ohio and Pennsylvania are unable to say as much.

          I'm not sure about PA, but I thought Tim Ryan is quite moderate on this. I agree, the Democrats should go back to the Safe Legal and Rare messaging.
