Pretty darn good, but then …
Aging Midwestern Conservative here, heartsick at the possibility that Donald Trump was the eventuality of conservatism all along. Matt and Sam put together 12 episodes that demonstrated that they knew, and had some interesting insights, into conservatism. Then in Episode 13 they retreated, with a third voice, into a snotty-snarky echo chamber, doing an interesting enough show on Norman Podhoretz’s 1965 Book “Making It,” but larding it with dubious asides about racism, sexism, white privilege, and even Donald Trump's supposed unconscious anti-semitism, about which they were almost entirely incoherent.
