Conservative Conversation and Community
Why did Donald Trump pick John Bolton in the first place if he disagreed with everything Bolton said and stood for? We discuss this on today’s podcast, along with our predictions for the Democratic debate (as Clubber Lang says in Rocky III, we predict…pain, but mostly for the viewers). Give a listen.
More So maybe, we discuss on today’s podcast, the most honest 2020 choice would be the one between Trump and one of the left candidates in the Democratic party, Warren or Sanders—because it would most closely reflect the state of American politics. Also what just happened with the Taliban and what is going on with impeachment. Give a listen.
More What the heck is going on in the United Kingdom? We don’t really know, but neither, it seems, do they, so the COMMENTARY podcast crew feels no compunction about sounding off about it. Also, a brief review of the 2020 Democrats’ seven-hour climate change town hall that no one who wasn’t paid to do so watched in its entirety. Speculation abounds in this episode.
More We ask this question, along with others—like why should we care when a reporter destroys someone’s career—on today’s podcast. Give a listen.

It’s the last GLoP of the summer, but we’re not relaxing. The GLoP-sters (one of whom is working injured with a summer cold), cover which sections of the newspapers actually make money, a review of the current Broadway production of Oklahoma!, some Rank Punditry® on the Democratic race, John can’t hear us (a feature, not a bug?) and Dave Chapelle conquers the politics of comedy.
More 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.

Once in a while, when the planets and the stars align (or when Rob Long is not available), we do a GLoP/The Remnant cross-over episode. This week, John Podhoretz is the “guest” as Jonah and John discuss whether or not Fredo is an ethnic slur (spoiler alert: it’s not), who is the Frank Pantagelli (and who is Tom Hagen) in the Jeffery Epstein story, Jonah’s adventure’s at the Iowa State Fair, and the dangers of legitimizing conspiracy theories.
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.

It’s the tail end of July (Juliii?)* so we squeezed in another GLoP to round out the month. This week — some Rank Punditry® on last night’s Democratic debate, a rumination on which TV characters would have voted for Donald Trump, and finally, we cast GLoP: The Movie. Now all we need is a story. Give us your casting choices in the comments. But be nice, please.
*you will have to listen to the show to understand this reference.
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.

This week on America’s Most Beloved Podcast®, the GLoP heads delve into the war between President and The Squad, ruminate on in the coming streaming wars, whether or not Disney is too powerful, and ponder the meaning of the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. Also, John reveals that his memory of this epochal historic event is completely made up.
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.
