To Sarah Isgur’s dismay, today’s episode is heavy on the foreign policy. Between last week’s humiliation of Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump’s apparent embrace of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, and the remilitarization of our European allies, the outlook for Pax Americana isn’t bright.
Sarah, Jonah Goldberg, and Steve Hayes also compare notes on the highs and lows from Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress before finally getting around to their discussion of woke chili.
The Agenda:
—Is this Putin’s world now?
—Zelensky’s errors. Trump’s disgrace.
—The allies step up
—Our gelded Congress
—Good television
—Beans are woke
Show Notes:
—Better Righteous than Right About Ukraine?
—The key to understanding Donald Trump’s approach to the Ukraine war
—The Remnant with Chris Stirewalt
