  • Summary

  • Jonah welcomes Kevin Williamson to discuss their shared status as Americans trapped within the final layer of Dante’s Hell (aka, Texas in the midst of a large-scale winter weather disaster). From the corporatism on display to the “stunning lack of entrepreneurialism” in response to the issues the state is currently facing, to every issue in between - such as the pointless populism being proffered as an explanation for Texas’ woes - this situation is proving to be a microcosm of everything that is dysfunctional in American politics. Who better to walk us through the sociopolitical ramifications of this situation, than two men who are known for their unadulterated joviality? Show Notes: -Kevin’s page at National Review -Kevin’s new book, still in the running for “Greatest Subtitle Ever” - Big White Ghetto: Dead Broke, Stone-Cold Stupid, and High on Rage in the Dank Woolly Wilds of the “Real America” -Baksheesh -Jonah v. David on the zombie apocalypse -NYT: “No, Wind Turbines Aren’t the Main Cause of the Texas Blackouts” -“Solar power, when will people learn?” -Rick Perry doubles down on yee-haw -The FairTax movement -Kevin on Satan’s balls -Alex Jones’ lawyers admit he’s an actor -Texas GOP chair Allen West suggests secession -“They’re always eating candy in Shelbyville.” Learn more about your ad choices.
