Jonah remains in a similar mental state as fans of the New England Patriots, disaffected and disappointed by a once-successful dynasty that has been reduced to a trash-talking caricature of itself. Alas, the show must go on, so Jonah launches further into his critique of the CBS News scandal, yet another Ta-Nehisi Coates debacle, and Tim Walz’s shoddy critique of the Electoral College. Later in the episode, Jonah ruminates upon The Dispatch’s fifth anniversary, The Remnant bingo card staple that is the evergreen contradistinction between patriotism and nationalism, the correct definition of hypocrisy, and the role memory plays in gratitude.Show Notes:
