Did Biden’s Infirmities Ruin Liberalism?

On our last news podcast of the year, we take up the Wall Street Journal story delineating the facts of the Biden cognitive cover-up, which now, it appears, dates back as far as 2020. Aside from the governing crisis the refusal of his cabinet and vice president created by failing to intervene as the Constitution requires, the Biden story also highlights the collapse of liberals and liberal institutions and the loss of legitimacy their behavior over the past four years has engendered.

Should Donald Trump be paying as much attention to dealing with the problems he actually resolved by winning the election, like his beef with Liz Cheney and the Des Moines Register poll? On the other hand, what if one of the witnesses who testified before the January 6 committee was encouraged to change a story she had already told under oath? Also, how on earth does Mike Johnson get out of his "we gotta pay for the government somehow" pickle? Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What on earth is going on in the skies over New Jersey and why is it so hard to trust the authorities when they tell us there's nothing to worry about?

Top notch political analysis coming from Commentary Magazine, a centre right Jewish publication. Five days a week, the verbose Jon Podhoretz, Noah Rothman, Abe Greenwald, the lovely Christine Rosen (yep, I said it) and occasionally a guest come together to discuss the political news of the day. If you want to understand U.S. politics, this should be on your play list.

This is the first podcast I listen to when my favorite center- right podcasts come out. When did I become such a John Podhoretz fan? In any case, this should basically be called the Pod-Cast because it's 75% John and that's great.
