Conservative Conversation and Community
The former FBI director gets properly raked over the coals, the Democrats have to decide whether to go insane, and the New York City schools threaten to destroy themselves. It’s a podcast. Give a listen.
More What was Trump doing talking about Jews and loyalty? Why does everyone have a cow every five minutes about what Trump says when he’s been doing the same thing for four years now? Whom does this help? Whom does it hurt? The whole podcast gang is back to offer maybe a little insight. Give a listen.
More John Podhoretz is still on vacation, so we’re going to save the elephant in the room for his triumphant return. In the interim, the remaining hosts of the COMMENTARY podcast discuss the dogs that are not barking in 2020: #MeToo, environmentalism, impeachment, etc. We also discuss former Rep. Joe Walsh’s expected challenge to Trump and wonder if we live in existential dread of a boring election.
More John Podhoretz is out for this episode of the Commentary Podcast, but he’s with us in spirit as we dive into the controversies of the week, many of which involve ethnicity and orientation. In this episode, the podcast explores the scuttling of Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib’s trips to Israel, the Democratic 2020 field’s attacks on America’s foundational traditions and institutions, and the New York Times’ 1619 Project.
More The protests in Hong Kong get more aggressive and the prospects for peaceful resolution seem to be getting more distant; what does it all mean? And what on earth is an “inverted yield curve” and why should it terrify us? You might not get an answer from this podcast, but you will be entertained. Give a listen.
More The mysterious death of Jeffrey Epstein, the cancellation of a controversial film depicting Trump voters as hunting targets, and why Joe Biden’s gaffes don’t seem to matter.

Well, President Trump didn’t really rise to the occasion this week, but neither did many Democrats, and the growing notion that every Trump voter is complicit in his every questionable act is beginning to take hold of everyone to the left of the GOP. Is this politically wise? Is it morally sensible? What consequences will it have? Give a listen.
More Two mass shootings in two cities over the course of 12 hours this weekend sharpened the nation’s focus on gun violence and the dangerous ideologies motivating the shooters. Can there be a productive response to these atrocities, or will they be subsumed into the dialectic surrounding the 2020 election?
More Biden and Harris and Warren—oh my! We break it all down for you on this podcast, in which we wonder at Kristen Gillibrand’s strange insistence that fairness would demand privileged kids get shot by cops, Andrew Yang wanting to give you $1,000 a month, and Bill DeBlasio just being a jerk. Give a listen.
More Baltimore, racism, Elijah Cummings, rats, blah blah blah… Yes, it’s another podcast about the tweets. We’re sorry. We didn’t make this happen. But we also talk about the rapprochement between Lori Loughlin and her kids, so that’s nice. Give a listen.
More It’s all about Mueller: His lackluster testimony on the Hill, its impact, and his investigation’s legacy.
More Painting over a mural of George Washington? Canceling a sneaker with a Betsy Ross flag on it? Is behavior like this going to keep Trump in the White House? Give a listen to today’s podcast.
More Trump’s rally, the “send her back” chants, and the progressive movement’s compulsion to give the president exactly what he wants. Also, the woke left reimagining the space race as yet another example of America’s illegitimacy and bigotry.
More The president decided to interrupt his rival party’s self-immolation with a tweet calling on four members of Congress to go back to the countries they came from—when three of those countries are the United States. We wonder at his reasons in this podcast. Give a listen.
More Are Democrats really going to hand the election to Donald Trump by getting into an internecine war over race and gender? That’s the main discussion on today’s podcast. Give a listen.
More This is the question we ask on today’s podcast, which takes up the extreme reaction to the July 4 festivities in Washington and the fights in the primary contest—all of which seem to be making the implicit case that Democrats can’t be trusted with the White House. Give a listen.
More John is out for this episode of the Commentary podcast, in which the remaining hosts give their thoughts on the second Democratic debate, Trump’s unplanned trip to North Korea, and the Antifa gangs that have taken over Portland, Oregon.
More Democratic Debate #1 takes up most of the time on today’s podcast, in which we ask: Who was worse, Tim Ryan (who) or Beto O’Rourke (answer to trivia question in 2022)? Did Elizabeth Warren do what she had to do or did she fall short? And is Tulsi Gabbard the new voice of American foreign policy arguing that we weren’t attacked by the Taliban on 9/11? We also take up the Supreme Court’s decision in the gerrymandering case. Give a listen.
More The 2020 Democrats are engaged in a bidding war to lure voters with the promise of free programs and debt forgiveness. Will it work? Also, the prospects for diplomacy with Iran after Donald Trump’s aborted retaliatory strikes and the costs of inaction.
More On today’s podcast—with Christine in studio!—we take up the question of Joe Biden’s odd remarks about segregationist senators and whether the Democratic party is more his or more Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’s. Plus: We’re not going to do anything about Iran, are we? Give a listen.
