0:00.0	Welcome to the commentary magazine daily podcast today is Thursday, August 24th, 2020.
0:29.9	I'm John Puthhorz, the editor of commentary magazine with me is always executive editor,
0:35.2	a Greenwald Hyde, media commentary columnist, Christine Rosen, Hyde Christine, and Washington
0:42.8	commentary columnist Matthew Cottonetti. Hi, Matt. Hi, John. You know, we were all
0:47.2	week. We've been doing these listener questions podcast and we will be doing one tomorrow as
0:51.6	well, taped them in advance, but we decided to go live today because we wanted to do an
