As the masses prepare their turkey basters, side dishes, and psyches for Thanksgiving, Jonah is giving thanks to the things he holds most dear: institutions, conservatism, and Yuval Levin.

Yuval and Jonah take some time to express their gratitude for the great American miracle, discuss the treason of the clerks phenomenon plaguing modern institutions, and consider how the exhausted majority can finally get what they want.

Later in the episode, Jonah brings up politics at the table and forces Yuval to cover the smorgasbord of Trump Cabinet nominees, the ineffectual nature of big promises, and the future of coalitional politics.
