From the roast of Mayor Solovicic, commentaries 11th roast are first public event in two years at a

Ritsey hotel in New York. You'll find out the identity of that hotel and what time to get there and when to have drinks and when to have dinner.

Hi, John.

Senior writer, Christine Rosen, Hygristine.

Hi, John.

Associate editor, Noah Rothman. Hi, Noah.

Hi, John.

And fresh from the shores of the Hudson Tech Commentary columnist and contributor to our woke the threat issue, Jim Megs.

James B. Megs. Hi, Jim. How are you?

Hi, John. Happy to be here.

So Jim, one of our favorite, one of our favorite guest guest stars has not one, but two pieces in commentaries November issue his contribution to the woke the threat symposium, which is a case study of an effort to

the key is wokeness out of existence in its crib back in the mid 90s and how a brilliant effort to wake up the academic world to the nonsense that it was about to swallow hookline and sinker

and both a creative a huge national sensation.

But failed to do the trick because everything that was predicted in that brilliant parody article we're about to talk about has come true

to the Academy.

And so the piece that Jim wrote on the subject is titled how Alan Sokol won the battle but lost the science wars, a brilliant parody was the harbinger of a dreadful future.

And so the first one piece number two, COVID and the authorities it's even worse than we thought and since its publication it's now even worse than we thought it was when we titled Jim's piece it's even worse than we thought so I'm not quite sure where to start I think maybe we should start with the COVID and the and the authorities simply because people are people as as ever.

And so the media are finally caught into some of the misbehaviors that we not part of the mainstream media have been talking about now for months and Jim in the pages of commentary I think this is your third piece kind of on the general subject of our public health authorities our national public health authorities in the Anthony Fauci and how and how they're handling of of the of COVID.
