Why Does Trump Want to Raise Prices?

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

2025/03/04

Not a Great Couple of Days for Trump

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

2025/02/25

The courts are balking, Macron is correcting, the vote on Ukraine was shameful, and appointing a podcaster to be #2 at the FBI is dumb. It's 35 days in; maybe the president needs to start focusing on doing things well? Give a listen.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What will the rage and horror inside Israel mean for the continuation of war-fighting in Gaza—and should Israel look beyond Hamas to deliver a deadly blow to Iran instead? Give a listen.

DOGE Soldiers

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

2025/02/18

If you want to move fast and break things, the problem is that you may break things you want—and you'll look sloppy, careless, and incompetent in the process.

Dark Times for Ukraine

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

Donald Trump's moves to end the war between Russia and Ukraine suggests he is pursuing a kind of foreign policy we haven't seen in the United States since the 1920s and 1930s.
