The Horrors at Columbia
The refusal both of Columbia University officials and New York City's mayor to confront and end the siege of the school's campus and the open threats to Jews is the culmination of 40 years of academic rot, and we describe why. Also: The House passes aid to Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and moves to end Chinese Communist control of TikTok. Is this a new path forward or a one-off success for House Speaker Johnson? Give a listen.

Israel Hits Iran and Columbia's Turn
Jonathan Schanzer joins the podcast for an immediate after-action report on the details of the Israeli strike on Iran, whether deterrence has been reestablished, and how last night might represent the most significant game-changing moment in recent Middle Eastern history. And what's this? Columbia University throws the book at the Hamas-supporting tent city on its campus and has the NYPD arrest more than 100 people? Is this a game-changer too? Give a listen.

Israelis Need to Watch 'The Godfather'

Return of the Weathermen?
Yesterday's protests in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle suggest again that the pro-Hamas Left is moving into a new and more dangerous phase, one in which they are openly chanting "Death to America" and may be readying violent acts of "resistance." The parallels to the 1960s are unmistakable. And things are only going to get more heated as Israel does what it has to in Rafah and against Iran. Give a listen.

The Iran Attack
A full house of COMMENTARY podcasters today as we try to reckon with the many possibilities relating to Iran's repelled attack on Israel—and the fact that America now seems fixated yet again on holding Israel back rather than making Iran pay for its aggression. Give a listen.

Has become stale and divorced from reality
Used to enjoy the podcast when there was some diversity of opinion and creative thought. But now they just repeat the same talking points again and again in lockstep agreement with each other. Podhoritz at least is funny, but the rest of them are just insufferable, arrogant morons.
Throat clearing must stop
OMG, as if JP’s monologues and constant “you knows” weren’t enough, now he’s constantly clearing his throat as if the mute button didn’t exist.
For one blissful week, he shut up and let Abe and the new guy talk, but now JP is worse than ever.
His excuse is that the ratings are good. Problem is they would be way better if JP restrained himself.
