Jonah Goldberg is smacked back to reality from his break abroad with the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey and the beginning symptoms of a cold. Powering his way through cough medicine, he argues against the vindictive nature of the Trump administration, dives into the hagiography of Charlie Kirk on the right, and revisits the debate between Athens vs. Jerusalem from his Remnant episode with historian Allen C. Guelzo.
