Commentary is America's premier monthly magazine of opinion: General, yet Jewish. Highly variegated, with a unifying perspective.
On our last news podcast of the year, we take up theĀ Wall Street JournalĀ story delineating the facts of the Biden cognitive cover-up, which now, it appears, dates back as far as 2020. Aside from the governing crisis the refusal of his cabinet and vice president created by failing to intervene as the Constitution requires, the Biden story also highlights the collapse of liberals and liberal institutions and the loss of legitimacy their behavior over the past four years has engendered. How? Give a listen.

Today's podcast begins with the shocking moment yesterday when Joe Biden spoke of the American hostage in Syria, Austin Tice, and then, 30 seconds later, entirely forgot who Austin Tice was.

And a surprising Trump interview. Give a listen.
