Mona is joined by special guest toast Rob Long this week filling in for a vacationing Jay Nordlinger. They consider the state of Christmas observance, conservatism in the age of Trump, the nature of Republican primary voters, weather free market solutions to our problems are what people really want or not, and other reflections on the state of the world. As Rob notes "everyone's a pundit!"(Though actually running and winning eight so easy).

The podcast closes with some observations about Hollywood from Rob, and some recommendations for your viewing pleasure period

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
