On the second COMMENTARY podcast this week, Abe Greenwald, and John Podhoretz wonder at the weak sourcing of the stories about the Russian effort to hijack the 2016 election, while Noah Rothman scoffs that we could question the effort. Which we don’t. As we explain. We also get a little testy at Obama’s UN ambassador Samantha Power giving a high-and-mighty moral speech about Syria when she stood by as the Obama administration did nothing to prevent the genocide. Give a listen.

In this week’s first podcast, Noah Rothman, Abe Greenwald, and John Podhoretz say many different things about the Russian hacking and the election, and about hacking in general, and try to keep it interesting even though they kept having to interrupt themselves because of sirens going on outside their window.

Also, why shouldn’t prospective cabinet appointments be like Miss Americas? Give a listen.
