Welcome to the commentary magazine Daily Podcast.

Today is Wednesday June 1st, 2022. I'm John Pauldhurtz, the editor of commentary magazine with me as always, executive editor, Ableemwald Hyde.

Hi John.

Associate editor, Noah Rothman. Hi Noah.

Hi John.

As I told you yesterday, Christine Rosen has taken a leave of absence from the podcast until September to finish a book.

And we are pleased to have in her stead today.

Free beacon editor, Washington free beacon editor, Eliana Johnson. Hi Eliana. Thanks for joining us.

Hi John. Thanks for having me.

And after hearing you guys bid a due to Christine yesterday, I'm honored to be filling the chair.

Well, we're thrilled to have you. And we're going to get to a lot of stuff today. We got we've got the Durham probe. We've got Ukraine. We've got Biden on Ukraine.

We've got Biden on everything. We've got BTS visiting and you don't even know what BTS is visiting the Oval Office.

But first, Eliana, as the editor of the free beacon.

Do you have anything you want to tell everybody that they might click over to free beacon.com to take a gander at.

I definitely do. And this is a piece that we had up yesterday. The headline is Susan gone wild Pennsylvania, Dem zooms into campaign event while driving video shows.

And you really have to watch the video, John. This is an event hosted by the Jewish Democratic Council of America for their week of action.

And Susan wild who's in a swing district in Pennsylvania that was just moved good timing. It was just moved to lean Republican by the Cook political report.

She joins the event from her car and is like fiddling with her phone the whole time. The dog is in the back seat. It's great stuff. So the beacon talk to safe driving groups who had a lot to say about Susan wilds practices. She is a menace to society on the roads.

So this piece by Colin Anderson, my favorite, my favorite detail is one of the events hosts asking her. Hi everybody. Susan is, is that you driving.

You're the ultimate multitasker. Yeah, I mean, so it is, it is absolutely a fantastic piece. This is a kind of like public service tubanism. We might say, so there is no self abuse going on, but there is abuse of many laws involving roads and how you're supposed to behave on the road.

This is the kind of delightful off kilter piece, I would say.

That is both politically valuable because it is actually a story about somebody a public servant misbehaving.
