The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

2025/07/30

David Bahnsen joins us today to talk about the new GDP numbers, the tariff deals, and the Trump growth agenda—are they balancing out, canceling each other out, or at war with each other, and will we know what to make of them before next year?

The Starvation Blood Libel

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

2025/07/28

We have to restrain our rage on today's podcast at the now-blanket assertions of a blood libel against Israel—that it is deliberately causing death by hunger in Gaza, conveniently everywhere simultaneous to Hamas tanking a cease-fire negotiation with Israel. The attacks on Israel's immorality are themselves the true immorality. Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Conspiracies Left and Right

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

As the Trump administration presses a case against the Obamans for pursuing Trump maliciously in 2016 and 2017, liberals and populists are pressing for more and more information on the confusing matter of Jeffrey Epstein. Is there an "omniconspiracy" of the American elites? And we take a look at the remarkable deal struck between the administration and Columbia University.

The Information War Against Israel

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

2025/07/21

More false stories about how Israel is killing the very Gazans it's trying to feed are suggestive of a new turn in the information war on the Jewish state—and how the fact that Israel is not finishing up its task in Gaza is having deleterious consequences. Also, a tribute to a great and modest figure who revolutionized the right in the United States. Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why Trump Is Angry About Epsteinmania

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

2025/07/16

The continuing focus on the "Epstein files" that don't exist is the first bump in the road for Donald Trump with his base. His declaration that people who focus on it are "very bad" demonstrates his frustration with the distraction from his accomplishments—which are revealed in part by the violence with which liberals and leftists are now discussing his victories at the Supreme Court.

The Autopen Scandal Is a Very Big Deal

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

2025/07/14

We begin today's podcast talking about the failure of the latest Gaza cease-fire proposal, move on to the crisis inside MAGA over Jeffrey Epstein, and then get to the heart of the matter: The astonishing New York Times story released Sunday night in which we learn that the Biden administration used the autopen to execute pardons and commutations and clemencies—in clear violation of centuries of common law regarding the use of the pardon power.

Is AI...Demonic?

The Commentary Magazine Podcast ·

2025/07/09

In an unusually late-night dorm-room like podcast, we begin by describing our general good moods before plunging into despair about the threat of AI as represented by Elon Musk's Grok and the anti-Semitic spree it went on yesterday. What's happening here? Is there something metaphysical going on? Can AI be consciously evil? In theory, no. But what if theory doesn't help here? Give a listen.Learn more about your ad choices.
