Having sweat through three shirts and appeared on eight podcasts before noon, Jonah Goldberg is fighting through a mountain of work before the early weekend kicks off. But fear not, gentle listeners: Few men work better under pressure than Jonah. Today’s Ruminant is an absolute throwdown on sexist jabronis on the right, the birthright citizenship case, codes of common decency, unitary executive theory, assimilation, Israel and anti-semitism, and the nation state. Buckle up.
