The pillars of order are crumbling around us and the crazies are wielding the sledgehammers; enter our heroes, George Weigel and Jonah Goldberg, to introduce a healthy dose of sanity to the public square. Jonah and George cover the state of Catholicism in the U.S., the slippery slope of postliberalism, the folly of integralism, and the strange, noxious rise of the antisemites.

Jonah Goldberg is editor-in-chief and co-founder of The Dispatch, based in Washington, D.C. Prior to that, enormous lizards roamed the Earth. More immediately prior to that, Jonah spent two decades at National Review, where he was a senior editor, among other things. He is also a bestselling author, longtime columnist for the Los Angeles Times, commentator for CNN, and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. When he is not writing the G-File or hosting The Remnant podcast, he finds real joy in family time, attending to his dogs and cat, and blaming Steve Hayes for various things.
