| 0:24.0 | Welcome to the commentary magazine Daily Podcast. Today is Friday, June 18, 2021. I am John |
| 0:28.9 | Fodhwards, the editor of commentary magazine with me is always executive editor, |
| 0:32.4 | a Greenwald Hy-Abe, associate editor, Noah Rothman, Hy-Noah, Hy-John, and senior writer, |
| 0:38.5 | Christine Rose and Hy-Christine. So we had two important suffering court decisions yesterday, |
| 0:44.5 | and I am now going to make a dark confession to our listeners, which is I don't think that any of us |
