Up for the best, expect the worst, some preach the pain, some die of thirst.

The way of knowing which way it's going.

Up for the best, expect the worst.

Welcome to the commentary magazine Daily Podcast.

It's Thursday, September 15th, 2022.

I'm John Bauthorz, the editor of Commentary Magazine.

We are just two months from the Barry Weiss roast

on November 13th, on the November 13th in New York City.

Go to commentary.org slash roast for details

about this very expensive, but very vital,

very amusing, very fundamental event

for the commentary family,

the commentary community, the commentary world.

This is our major fundraiser of the year

and we go all out to give people a good time.

It's not like a rubber chicken dinner

where you're gonna hear boring speeches and tributes.

It's much more lively and raucous and fun.

So commentary.org slash roast, Barry Weiss is the roastee.

Commentary is the beneficiary and you are the attendee.

With me is always executive editor,

a Greenwald Hyab, media commentary columnist
