This time, he’s freed Guy from the dank pit he’s come to know as home for an in-person recording in the American Enterprise Institute's sanctum sanctorum. Somehow, this new arrangement provokes an even nerdier and less substantial conversation than usual, with topics ranging from the philosophy of Doctor Who to the use of “mutant” as a superhero descriptor. But some serious ruminations are also offered on the differences between liberalism and conservatism, what Jonah’s next book might be about, and the influence of intellectual minorities on history. Oh, and let’s not forget the most important topic of all: the relationship between John Podhoretz’s blood pressure and Twitter usage.
