Navigating Voter Motivations and Political Choices

As the holiday season reaches its zenith, the gods of punditry have forced one Jonah Goldberg to cover a looming government shutdown at the hands of the de facto president.

Plus: Jonah makes a list of his favorite historians—check it twice in the show notes.
