Welcome to the Commentary Magazine Daily Podcast and I'm having trouble figuring out the

day because for the first time we are taping this early. I think tomorrow I think

today is Thursday May 14th 2020 because we are actually doing this Wednesday

near about six o'clock on on the 13th. I'm John Pudhor. It's the Editor of Commentary

Magazine with me as always Senior Editor Abe Greenwald Hyade. Hyjon. Senior

Ritter Christine Rosenhykrstein. Hyjon. Associate Editor Noah Rothman Hynoah. Hyjon.

her and Greta Thunberg that I think that we should all be really listening to at this point.

of California has said that for counties to stop lockdown you're supposed to have no casualties

from COVID-19 for 14 days which means that presumably my great great grandchildren one day far

into the future may have the opportunity to leave their houses in Los Angeles if we don't leave first.
