I've LOVED listening to you, and am now THRILLED that I get to see you too!! You bring such great content, and it's incredibly valuable. Not a Jew, but a gal who worries about and loves Israel. Thanks for bringing such clarity!
After listening to this podcast for as long as it's existed I've finally watched. Christine is much prettier than I imagined, Seth and Abe are about what I expected, LOL. Probably my favorite podcast, keep up the great work folks.
I listened to this episode earlier today at work as I do every day. When I got home I thought I’d check out the first few minutes on RUclips to see the format, etc. Ended up watching all the way straight through. Good stuff.
This incredibly insightful podcast has been rising in popularity in our circles since Oct 7th and has quickly becoming a staple for daily news consumption. Keep up the great work guys 👍
I love the humor, comaraderie, intelligent thoughts and discussion between you all. I relish now watching but repeat, I miss hearing Hope for the best jingle. Please bring it onto your RUclips platform some way some how sooner rather than later! Christine, you are eye candy and THANKS for NOT wearing a pant suit. I’m so glad I don’t have to see every shade of color in Kommiela’s everyday pant suite!
Thank you very much for taking the trouble of producing the podcast and many congratulations to the video. P.S.: I am of course subscribing to the magazine.
Discovering that the Commentary Magazine Podcast crew is notably good-looking was not on my 2024 bingo card but here we are. Thank you for helping to keep many of us sane and entertained in these strange times!
Congratulations on being on RUclips! I do miss hearing Mel Brooks’ jingle, 🎶Hope for the best, expect the worst. Some drink champagne, some die of thirst. No way of knowing which way it’s going. Hope for the best, expect the worst.🎶.
Hey folks. Love the video version of your podcast. Now I can see everyone's expressions while others are making their opinions known. I usually listen on Spotify. Great podcast.
Thank you for letting us know. I've been listening to your fine podcast for several years, but somehow I didn't know you were in RUclips. So nice to see you all! Thank you!!
Awesome! I didn't realize you folks were doing a video simulcast of the pod. I have been listen since you launched the podcast a few years ago. We listen every day without fail. Its part our my daily ritual. 😊👍
John, I know the podcast had been going long as of late, and you hope to correct that. However, you had been getting closer to the first 2-hour Commentary Podcast, and I was ready for it!
I have been listening to your podcast every day for probably more than a year. Am very glad there is also the option to watch you “in action” now. Thank you. (I am also a subscriber.)
Excellent podcast as usual! I’d like to add that the woman who posed the question to Senator Rubio was none other than Susie “Medea” Benjamin of Code Pink.
John's comment about the heavier Jewish vote for Trump, that the Jews "delivered" for Trump is compellingly true. I think the Jewish community can proudly assert that and not be embarrassed because Trump will deliver for Israel and the Jewish community.
Funny, I've been listening to this podcast for many years but this is the first time I've been presented with John Podharetz' visage. In my mind's eye he has always been Sam Waterston from the firs couple of seasons of Law and Order.
Had the Commentary crew always been on video but only now we get to join the party? i like having the moving pictures...but i enjoy the podcast and hope that video doesnt change the "vibe" ;)
i'm sure posting the show on yt is great for reach, but in the last 1/2 yr or so i have found the ad insertions here have become intolerable. adblockers don't seem to work here anymore, and i am getting ads every 10 minutes on every video, & some of them are 3 minutes long with no option for skipping. i know yt has to eat like everyone else, but yeesh.
Wow! This is weird, after 4 years of listening and getting totally used to your voices. Abe and Seth don't look anything like what I imagined. Matt and John look sort of like how they sound and Christine looks great :)

With civility and respect, I’ll just say you all look great. After listening daily for 4 years, I love finally seeing your faces.
Agreed, it’s so nice to our faces to our hosts’ names!
I totally agree!
I second this!
This gentile is 1000% with you guys on your views and takes. If I become president, I’ve got cabinet positions for all of you.
Christine is a cutie.
I live in Nigeria and I listen to the commentary magazine podcast everyday. I love you guys so much

LONG time listener, first time viewer. By my lights, no better political podcast out there.
Really enjoy this YT version of the podcast. I’ve been listening since 2020.
Thanks for letting us know!
Discovered this podcast in final week or so of the election and now completely hooked.
That's great! Welcome!
My favorite part of the day!! Keep it up gang 😉
That's the best thing we can hear!
I love the commentary magazine VIDEO podcast

Commentary is the best political podcast that exists. And it’s better than that. It’s a video podcast now!
Thank you for your good work.
Aww! Such a lovely comment! Thank you!
Have always loved the magazine and podcast. Glad it is now on RUclips!
Thanks for taking the time to let us know!

Welcome to the new channel! Thanks for visting and commenting!
I am so excited for this!!!
Make sure you plug this on 2way, since John is such a fan favorite!
Gosh, Christine is beautiful ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to leave this comment!
@ the very best!♥️
Glad y’all have made the RUclips jump. Long overdue.
I don’t think I’ve missed a single day of this in four years
Love this podcast

I never miss!

Been waiting for the video format since I discovered you sometime after Oct. 7. Thanks!
Thank you for being patient, and thanks for commenting!
Greetings from Arizona. Quite the roller coaster ride these last few months. I’m glad I had you to help make sense of it all.
Love you guys
Appreciate you!
My favorite is Seth Mandel. But you’re all great. ❤
John lost weight. Good for you guys putting this on YT. Long overdue.
Very kind! Thanks for taking the time to leave the compliments!
@@commentarypodcast I listen to one podcast every day religiously and its yours. Keep up the good work. You guys all look great.
Love this podcast.
This is an important platform. Thank you for making your content available here. (Current print subscriber.)
And do not sleep on Thursday's UFO/UAP hearing in the House!
How fun to see you all!
Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Podz' bookshelf/magazine shelf background is elite.
Great podcast!!
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
This is great! What a good looking crew! Abe, are you in a closet???? LOL! Seriously I love this upgrade!
Excellent podcast as usual! I’d like to add that the woman who posed the question to Senator Rubio was none other than Susie “Medea” Benjamin of Code Pink.
Also, John has the correct approach. Christine and Matt need to put copies of their books behind them.

Hello from Sydney Aus. A listener since COVID. On my wish list …. Attend your Annual Roast.
Have to listen to the podcast first to get the opening music then switch to RUclips

Didn’t know I needed to see John while he waxes poetic but I do! 😉
It hurts my soul to not have the normal intro song
South Dakota is not a border state and even if it were, it wouldn't have a border with Alberta. Am I missing something?
Ok, I heard the correction.
@@shawnsavage9341 yes it is. It borders the People’s Republic of Minnesota
@@kimlarsen8515 it's really just the People's Republic of Minneapolis/St Paul. The rest of the state voted for Trump.
17:50 Last time i checked the map South Dakota was not a border state. 😂
He corrected it bit later!
Matt and Seth have shaky cameras. Backgrounds are nice though. Generally pretty good. 👍
Didn't know you had a channel.
Had the Commentary crew always been on video but only now we get to join the party? i like having the moving pictures...but i enjoy the podcast and hope that video doesnt change the "vibe" ;)
When is Christine going to Commentary Recommends Pachinko on AppleTV+? Either I missed the earlier endorsement or the silence is very telling
Mike Huckabee ambassador to Israel.
John, show off your Quince purchases!
These are the people that keep us in forever wars.
i'm sure posting the show on yt is great for reach, but in the last 1/2 yr or so i have found the ad insertions here have become intolerable.

Am I the only one who thinks Abe looks like Benedict Cumberbatch? Has this been said before?
The very first!
Indeed you are. I'm sure Abe will love it!
We do miss the intro song, I assume it's a copyright issue?
I got sick of the intro song. I would skip through it.
@@shawnsavage9341 Phew!
RUclips is a bit stricter about music. 😔
@@commentarypodcast I listen religiously. I love that you are on youtube now.
When did Diane Lane join the Commentary podcast?
Oh my, have been listening for years and have mental images of all of you, and they don't match: maybe you can fix this.
Except for the boss, surprised to see how young looking the other 4 are....sorry John.
Wow! This is weird, after 4 years of listening and getting totally used to your voices. Abe and Seth don't look anything like what I imagined. Matt and John look sort of like how they sound and Christine looks great :)
Spend some time on RUclips with Dave Smith Debates videos. Dave Smith could screw up a cup of coffee. He has difficulties explaining libertarianism.
No hope for the best?
RUclips is a bit stricter about music. 😔
