Condolences for Evil

The Commentary Magazine Podcast

05/21/24 • 80 min

Why Does Biden Lie So Much?

The Commentary Magazine Podcast

09/12/23 • 60 min

The podcast takes up the president's latest whopper, about being in New York on September 12, 2001 and seeing the wreckage of the Twin Towers. We all know Trump lies like he breathes, but Biden's lies have a different quality—they're not denials of things he did but efforts to aggrandize and mythologize himself. Give a listen.

They're Coming After the Constitution

The Commentary Magazine Podcast

09/11/23 • 56 min

Today's podcast notes the remarkable confluence of two events. First, an appeals court finding that the Biden administration staged what a lower court judge called the worst assault by our government on First Amendment rights in this nation's history. And second, the decision by a Democratic governor to declare an emergency power suspending the Second Amendment in her state for 30 days. This is not good. Give a listen.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast

What on earth did we see last night at the Reagan Library? Did it change the race at all? Who, if anyone, benefitted from the shambolic but dull second Republican debate? And is there any utility to the format at this point in our politics? Give a listen.

EMERGENCY: Biden Done, Harris on Deck

The Commentary Magazine Podcast

07/22/24 • 107 min

In what is our longest podcast ever, we discuss: How sick is Joe Biden and will the potential cover-up of his condition become an issue for his apparent successor, Kamala Harris; how can Democrats complain about the threat to our democracy when they just engineered an outcome voted on by 17 million people in primaries; will Kamala Harris answer questions about policy or will she hide; and how will Donald Trump handle his new rival? Give a listen.

Whose Banana Republic Is This Anyway?

The Commentary Magazine Podcast

12/06/24 • 74 min

Today we marvel at the liberal habit of protecting democracy with...banana republicanism. Fearing Donald Trump's revenge, the Biden administration is mulling preemptive pardons, and legacy media is normalizing the idea. Plus, we get into the blurring of mainstream and alternative media and why the left can never have a Joe Rogan. Give a listen.

So Do We Stop Worrying About Medicare Now?

The Commentary Magazine Podcast

09/06/23 • 54 min

Yuval Levin joins the podcast to discuss an extraordinary piece in the New York Times alleging that the cost of Medicare has fallen radically to such an extent that it is no longer the budgetary monster looming on the horizon. Is that true? Or is it just a way of denying a danger and pushing it forward? Give a listen.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast

Today we talk about House Republican plans to hold a vote on the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. How does the latest impeachment saga stack-up against the impeachments of Donald Trump?
