Welcome to the commentary magazine The Ellie podcast today is Friday, September 17th, 2021.

I'm John Pudhorts, the editor of Commentary Magazine. I hope all of you who observed, you know,

Kippur had an easy fast and here are our wishes for a sweet, peaceful, joyous, and happy new year.

With me, as always, executive editor, a Greenwald Hyabe

associate editor Noah Rothman, Hainoa. Hi John. And senior writer Christine Rosen,

Hykristine. Hi John. It's the whole Hodgepodge of news. And I guess maybe the place to start

because it sort of talks to the general tenor of conservative politics at the moment is that

representative Gonzalez of Ohio, one of the ten Republicans to vote. I mean, I can now catch

him. Either voted for him. He was one of the voted for impeachment. And then he voted for

conviction. And he also voted for a commission in Ohio has decided to retire. He is not going to

run again in 2022 facing a Trump endorsed candidate whom he says he believes he could beat, although

it would be a bruising and crushing primary. But basically that he's had it. He faced death threats

and that the politics of the present moment are so toxic that he can no longer, he no longer feels

that his life is best served doing what he is doing. So a scalp has been claimed in the January 6th.

You know, an actual scalp has now been claimed in the January 6th. Aftermath and the Republican

party, obviously the biggest scalp that the Trump people want is Liz Cheney's. Adam Kitsinger,

the Congressman from Illinois, it looks like his district is going to be

Jerry Manderd out anyway. So he will probably be gone. So the

the the enforced Trump's enforcement mechanism and punishment mechanism apparently is holding now

almost nine months after, after January 6th. And I guess tomorrow we are expecting

some kind of a pro January 6th demonstration. Christine, isn't that right in DC?
