Welcome to the commentary magazine Daily Podcast. Today is Friday, January 6th,

2023. I'm John Pahor. It's the editor of commentary magazine with me as always executive editor

A. Greenwald Hyde. Hi John. Media commentary columnist and American Enterprise Institute

fellow Christine Rosenhykristin. Hi John. An associate editor and author of the rise of the

New Puritans, Noah Rothman. Hi Noah. Hi John. So January 6th, obviously a resident date and

Democrats are sure are making sure that we believe that we understand its residents as much as possible

Joe Biden's having some kind of a ceremony marking the second anniversary of the insurrection

with the presentation of civilian medals of honor to 12 people who somehow were involved in

trying to stop or do things to on January 6th and with democracy protection like Ruby Freeman,

this woman in Atlanta who became was being trashed by Trump and the Trumpians

for supposedly taking a zip drive out and it turned out what was it was a cookie or I can't

remember what it was it was a ordinary thing that that that was converted by the psychotics around

Trump into a zip drive with fake votes in it. I mean it's interesting because you would think that

this is kind of like overplaying your hand like okay congratulations like you the election of 2022

went well for Democrats Democrats now control the Senate without question and you know and we can

see the results of the incredibly narrow and disappointing victory for them for Republicans in the

House in the high jinks in the House and you would think like just take the win and you know don't

like beat a dead horse but this isn't a dead horse to them and I'm not sure it is a dead horse

maybe this is the gift that keeps on giving and that they're right politically to make a big deal out

of it because if Trump and the deniers are going to continue to play this hand there is literally

no reason for Democrats not to play the hand also if it has political and social returns for them.
