Ok I subscribed to UA-cam. I’m a print and digital subscriber to the mag. You guys do a great job. Thanks for your podcast. Mr Pod I thought Paul Giamatti was a guest today and then I recognized your voice.
just because she's your friend, that doesn't mean she gets to tamper with witnesses. If this country has a fair justice system, Cheney should go to jail
I did not know you guys aired the podcast video on UA-cam. Most of me is excited to see that and so, I've subscribed also (congrats on hitting the 5k!!!!). The small part of me that isn't though just realized NONE of you look like the person I see in my mind when l've listed on Spotify for the last few years. LOL Thanks for all you guys do!
Subscribed and bought two Quince sweaters as gifts for family members. Thank you for your daily podcast. Truly enjoy it and look forward to it every day.
This is about the lawyer Tucker interviewed a few months ago who faced a disbarment hearing because of this made up accusation. Liz Cheney should certainly be charged with wrongdoing. Her committee encouraged the disbarment proceeding.
I watched that interview and felt very sorry for that lawyer who was just trying to do his job and has paid a high price. Liz and Casey should be investigated and face charges if they broke the law.
Listen to today’s episode, and couldn’t disagree more about Liz Cheney. Probably suborned perjury of witnesses, sat on exculpatory evidence that resulted in convictions in what was an impossible court to receive a fair trial in, and then destroyed evidence and testimony that will make any sort of retrial possible, so of course I want them all (Jan 6 defendants) pardoned. You guys sit there holding court like members of Louis XVI’s retinue. You find ruining the lives of people guilty of misdemeanor trespass funny, or somehow “just”, is appalling. I’m still a subscriber, and I’ll still listen, but I remain disappointed.
I think it comes down to the constitution. 1st amendment. The people have the right to assemble and petition. Why the protestors did not appeal their convictions to Supreme Court is something I don’t understand.
This is just the new line. SUborned perjury? Do you tehink? You are promoting another garden variety conspieacy about what we saw in with our own eyes. They weren't guilty of misdeamanors--they tried to steal the electoral college actual votes and upset the election--the very election Donald Trump wanted the military to overthrow. You can beliee what you want to beiieve--the podsters are fools for trying to win your sympathy. Jews, this is the new Commentary--desparately seeking the lowest common denominator. They literally stormed the Congress. the sightseerers so to speak received misdeamanor fines. bfut you beieve what you need to believe.
there was no witness tampering. The GOP is doing its best to throw in jail the entire Jan 6th commitee. Yidden wake up. The maga goys who are encouraging you wouldnt know emes from a blintz from Hillel standing on one foot. Yeah yeah she will be judged. Judged by whom. Are you Jewish? Were you on a kibbutz? Were you a volunteer in Lebanon? Did you participate in Jewish renewal? Leave John to the potzerim and Maga bullyboys and internet heroes now going after members of Congress. This is not your Judaiasm. This is not your vision of Israel. "Zionists" kissing the butts of Miller, Trump and the leftover "witness tampering is a felony" vigilantes from the constricted universe of Magaland.
Thanks for the sci- fi recommendation Matt. I am currently reading Mercy of Gods and bought a copy for my son for Xmas. Consequently I now refer to biscuits and gravy as Soft Lothark burgers. My kids have no idea why…
As a long time listener and first time watcher, I’d like to record my impressions as follows: 1. John is the only one who truly looks how he sounds. 2. Abe and Christine are both much better looking than I previously assumed. 3. Had I known about Seth’s beard earlier I would have taken him much more seriously than I already did. 4. Continetti should consider growing a mustache. That is all.
Christine has always been a good looking woman. And smart. As for Continetti, he's so very cute especially when he's cracking a joke. But please, no mustache, Matt!
John is so out of touch...going on about the Q-Shaman being some kind of threat to demoocracy undeserving of a pardon for parading through the Capitol in a buffalo headress 🙄 🙄 🙄
The people have the constitutional right to petition government for redress of grievances. So yeah, the protesters had every right to enter the capitol building to do just that.
You may be right about the predictions of a Trump admin overreach regarding Liz Cheney, however, I never had much respect for Ms Cheney going back to the post 911 Iraq war. She would go on the Sunday shows and I found her to be a poor advocate for going to war. I didn’t believe any of “intelligence” back down and turns out very little of it was true. The real conservative back, then were saying we should be focusing on Iran. 20 years later maybe Trump will get around to it, if Israel doesn’t beat him to it first.
Great episode! Machiavelli wrote that if a Prince has to commit controversial actions, it's better to do them all at once to get them out of the way. If Trump is thinking of J6 commutations, anong a flurry of "day one" actions, maybe it's not the worst time for it. It would be better to actually to concrete, important, and politically popular actions first, but if Trump is set on commutations or G-d forbid pardons, doing them in a package with better actions isn't the worst thing. It may taint or blunt the political benefits of border control or inflation reduction somewhat, but that could be better then doing them in them later. Likewise, as suggested during the podcast, removing the issue from Trump and going to the FBI or DOJ to investigate might be more sound, but seems un-Trumpian.
@commentary I am a daily listener and would love to transition from audio-only to UA-cam. How can we get these posted earlier in the day? I usually lose patience waiting for video and then just listen on audio-only channels.
Canada is far more conservative than you make out. Here are some of the conservative Prime Ministers and Premiers of Canada: *Conservative Prime Ministers:* - _Sir John A. Macdonald_ (1867-1873, 1878-1891) - _Sir John Abbott_ (1891-1892) - _Sir John Sparrow David Thompson_ (1892-1894) - _Sir Mackenzie Bowell_ (1894-1896) - _Sir Charles Tupper_ (1896) - _Sir Robert Borden_ (1911-1920) - _Arthur Meighen_ (1920-1921, 1926) - _R.

Guess what most of the people arent in jail. Guess what some of the people wanted to hang Mike Pence. .Guess what some of the peoople violently broke into the Congress and tried to disrupt the vote. Guss what Trump instigated them. You be you. Jews! Yidden! You have read Pirkei abot.. Dont waste your time here. Read. Study. You dont need gentiles and their little insurrectionist excuses--this is the Jewish tradition? Really. .My grandparents came here to place Pense on a gallows. .Yeah go for it Jpod.

John less than hour ago: We are close to 5,000 subscribers, please get us over.
**one hour later***
5,650 subscribers and counting....
Ok I subscribed to UA-cam. I’m a print and digital subscriber to the mag. You guys do a great job. Thanks for your podcast. Mr Pod I thought Paul Giamatti was a guest today and then I recognized your voice.
Norm: “Cheney is a friend of mine. I don’t think she should be investigated for suborning perjury because reasons.”
Love the show. It’s my intellectual food for the brain every day!
just because she's your friend, that doesn't mean she gets to tamper with witnesses. If this country has a fair justice system, Cheney should go to jail
Exactly
I did not know you guys aired the podcast video on UA-cam. Most of me is excited to see that and so, I've subscribed also (congrats on hitting the 5k!!!!).

Thanks for all you guys do!
Subscribed and bought two Quince sweaters as gifts for family members. Thank you for your daily podcast. Truly enjoy it and look forward to it every day.
I think John should wear a Open Road Stetson. Toasted.
Thanks for going on UA-cam - love this podcast
I'm so glad you are on UA-cam. You have been a gift for so many years. Regards.
Glad to see a video pod! I've been picturing John the way I remember him from 20 years ago until this very moment.
Great news with more viewers.
My favorite political videos/ Podcasts, keep up the great work.

J sixers tried and convicted fair and square in DC like Trump was in NYC right John?
Liz Cheney needs to go to jail for witness tampering of Hutchinson. She jog is up. She better pray for a pardon cause it’s over for her.
No one can tell John to hit the mute button?? Does he foster a toxic work environment 😅
Doesn't have to be vengeance. Just justice for the lies and conspiracies.
Why does it sound like John podcasts from a warehouse? What is going on outside that window? 😳😂
Witness tampering is a felony and she will be judged accordingly.
there was no witness tampering. The GOP is doing its best to throw in jail the entire Jan 6th commitee. Yidden wake up. The maga goys who are encouraging you wouldnt know emes from a blintz from Hillel standing on one foot. Yeah yeah she will be judged. Judged by whom. Are you Jewish? Were you on a kibbutz?

Interesting to find your Podcast after seeing you on the 2Way Pod
Cook up guys very happy about the UA-cam success
Subscribed. Long time listener, first time caller. I have been a fan since the Sohrab Ahmari era.
You guys look fantastic, not regular tired!
My husband introduced me to the podcast and now we both have a crush on Christine
Love you John Podhoretz, and here’s a reminder that you can mute your mic whenever you’re coughing.
And Ms. Cheney made a choice.
Same Matt same I’d rather be a bug 🐞 🐛 🐜 than a SotH
Glad commentary is on UA-cam!
Subscribed, I am here because Hugh Hewitt recommended you
Same! Hugh ran down some of his favorite podcasts the other day and I am so glad to have found Commentary!
"Ruthless" imo, is a better show! 👍@@jordanchase7218
You are confusing vengeance for justice! Those who committed actual crimes, as it looks like Cheney did, should be held accountable!
As a long time listener and first time watcher, I’d like to record my impressions as follows: 1. John is the only one who truly looks how he sounds. 2. Abe and Christine are both much better looking than I previously assumed. 3. Had I known about Seth’s beard earlier I would have taken him much more seriously than I already did. 4. Continetti should consider growing a mustache. That is all.
Christine has always been a good looking woman. And smart. As for Continetti, he's so very cute especially when he's cracking a joke. But please, no mustache, Matt!
We'll have you at 100k by January 2026, John.
John is so out of touch...going on about the Q-Shaman being some kind of threat to demoocracy undeserving of a pardon for parading through the Capitol in a buffalo headress 🙄 🙄 🙄
Yes. Ridiculous. And Matt said the protesters took control of the Capitol building. Such malignant nonsense.
Cassidy Hutchinson “Something to affect of” is in big trouble.
The people have the constitutional right to petition government for redress of grievances. So yeah, the protesters had every right to enter the capitol building to do just that.
Ok, Liz fest is not my thing. This is nuts
You may be right about the predictions of a Trump admin overreach regarding Liz Cheney, however, I never had much respect for Ms Cheney going back to the post 911 Iraq war.

Matt, can you please list your favorite sci fi books from the 60's & 70's? Thank you
Please mute your microphones when you’re not speaking.
Great episode!

Someone please get John a mute button for his microphone.
Matt, Abe, and Seth look like I pictured them. John looks older. Christine is way hotter.
Your approach to J6 is out of line. MOST of the people in attendance were NOT violent or reckless.
Guess what most of the people arent in jail. Guess what some of the people wanted to hang Mike Pence. .Guess what some of the peoople violently broke into the Congress and tried to disrupt the vote. Guss what Trump instigated them. You be you. Jews! Yidden! You have read Pirkei abot.. Dont waste your time here. Read. Study. You dont need gentiles and their little insurrectionist excuses--this is the Jewish tradition? Really. .My grandparents came here to place Pense on a gallows. .Yeah go for it Jpod.
