Interesting podcast, but I have to take exception to Mr. Podhoretz’s assertion that Biden ran a ‘brilliant campaign.’ At a minimum, some serious stipulation on the dual role the majority of the mainstream and social media giants played running interference for Biden’s ‘brilliant campaign’ must be addressed. John’s ongoing angst for polls should be at least as high towards his peers in the media, as well as with the social media platforms he no longer posts on. The sustained scrutiny one would expect on the absurd lids, refusal to be seriously interviewed, or remotely challenged on any of the policy positions held by either Biden or Harris never materialized, nor is it likely to as his Biden nears his swear in date. That cannot be described as ‘brilliant’ without a seriously profound suspension of disbelief.
Keep up the crushing morosity.
The great gaslighting continues.
Joe Biden ran the campaign I would run, If I could run for president. MNE or Minimum Necessary Effort. It wasnt brilliant, it was barely visible.
Also podcast appears to be offline – wont play in the ricochet player – nor will it download from the link…
I had to go to the Commentary web page to listen to it. It would not play on Ricochet for me either.
Yes, it won’t download – or play. Now, I can’t hear about the brilliant Biden campaign. I totally missed it while it was happening – it seemed like he hardly did anything or said anything, and mostly just capitalized on running against an incumbent who was deemed to blow it in a pandemic and otherwise is disliked by a lot of people. I must be wrong though, he must of been out there with amazing rhetoric that got the Democrat base to vote in large enough numbers in Atlanta, Michigan, Philadelphia, and Madison to beat a generally very popular incumbent President.
Keeping quiet worked. And it’s hard for a politician to keep quiet.
