Super Tuesday and SOTU Preview!

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2024/03/05

Will this State of the Union be Joe Biden's last? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss those prospects, which depend at least a little on what happens two days earlier on Super Tuesday. Right now it looks like it's all over but the shouting in both nomination chases, but the Supreme Court decision on the 14th Amendment might be a fresh wild card.

Incompetence, American Style

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2024/02/20

Joe Biden's not the only one whose competence is in question. Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the Dylan Byers report that the White House press corps has colluded to keep Biden's cognitive crisis a secret out of "indelicacy." We explore that issue at length, including a discussion of 2018's The Front Runner, an overlooked film about the Gary Hart scandal in the 1988 cycle. We also discuss the media's false narratives about the monkey business (heh) at St. Patrick's Cathedral last week.

Biden Exposed -- But Media Hardest Hit

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2024/02/13

Joe Biden had a very bad week, but did Robert Hur's report do more to indict the media? Andrew Malcolm and I debate who's actually wearing fewer clothes -- the emperor or his court jesters. This all feeds into a sense of impending doom, as Andrew discusses in his latest column. Plus, we both salute Taylor Swift on her first Super Bowl win.

House GOP Are Not Swifties

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2024/02/08

Will the Kansas City Chiefs have its good-luck charm on hand for the Super Bowl? Andrew Malcolm and I have fun discussing Taylor Swift's impact on the NFL, but we're a lot more frustrated with the none-too-swift House Republicans this week. We also discuss the disgrace of Joe Biden's abandonment of US allies in Afghanistan -- not to mention American citizens and legal permanent residents,too. And we note that the media treats it as a "not to mention" story as well.

The Kamala Conundrum, Explained!

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2024/01/31

How did Kamala Harris end up a heartbeat away from the presidency? Charlie Spiering discusses his new book Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris in the White House, and Harris' strange emergence from California's Democrat machine politics. Will she hold up as the party's running mate for an incumbent who seems barely competent in public? Find out more as we discuss Harris' prospects in 2-24 and beyond.

Plan B From Obama Space?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2024/01/30

Will Michelle Obama really replace Joe Biden on the Democrat ticket? Andrew Malcolm makes the pitch, although I'm still very skeptical about the prospects. We also debate whether the media's trying to convince everyone that the GOP primary is over, or whether it's really over and they're just grudgingly admitting it. Andrew and I also talk football and why we're looking forward to Taylor Swift's rookie appearance at the Super Bowl.

Iowa Start -- New Hampshire Finish?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2024/01/23

Will this be the shortest competitive primary in memory? Donald Trump can arguably clear the field with a big win in New Hampshire. Andrew Malcolm expresses his frustration with the primary system and its front-loading of two small states. We also discuss the football playoffs with all of the enthusiasm that two guys whose teams have already lost can muster.

How Healthcare Consolidation Raises Prices -- and...

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2024/01/22

Mergers and acquisitions in health care don't just limit your choices in medicine. They also help the federal government control outcomes even where Medicare and Medicaid don't apply. Dr. Marion Mass of Free2Care.org discusses the ramifications of the two-tiered reimbursement model from CMS, how consolidation in North Carolina all but eliminated patient choice, and how to reform the system properly to restore patient control of medical care.

John Ondrasik: We Are Not 'OK' -- Here's Why

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2024/01/19

What happened to America? In the wake of the worst slaughter of the Jews since the Holocaust, the American Left has gone all-in on support for the Hamas terrorist perpetrators of the October 7 massacres. Five For Fighting's John Ondrasik has released a new song and powerful video, 'Okay,' and joins me to discuss why we need to put political tribalism aside and stand up for decency and civilization.

Iowa Caucuses: What's Next

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2024/01/17

Iowa voters have spoken -- but how much should we read into the results? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the history of the Iowa caucuses, and why the weight of incumbency may dictate outcomes for both parties. We also discuss the early calls by the networks on the caucus results, and both of us lament the ends of the season for our teams in the NFL playoffs.

Economic and Leadership Paralysis in America

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2024/01/15

Have we reached a critical stage in debt and a failure of American leadership? Peter Grandich says that the expansion of debt in both personal and institutional spheres are reaching levels where options for solutions are rapidly disappearing. We are now routinely adding $2 trillion to the national debt every year at the same time Americans are escalating their secured and unsecured debt beyond capabilities for rational repayment.

Forgive Them, for the MSM Knows Not What They Do

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/12/19

Can't anyone read a memo? Andrew Malcolm and I have lots of fun deconstructing the terrible way the media covered the latest missive from the Vatican. Did it actually change anything? We also discuss the war in Ukraine, and I try and fail to give Andrew a new Christmas-based title.

Pouncing, Seizing, and Singing!

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/12/12

The Poison Ivies presidents got universally shredded for their contemptuous and contemptible testimony last week. How did the New York Times frame it? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the latest chapter of Republicans pouncing. Plus we also discuss what Christmas songs are the worst, and why none of them are "All I Want for Christmas is You."

Cine-Party Like It's 1999?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/12/11

Was 1999 the last great year for American cinema? Christian Toto and I discuss his reasoning behind that claim, while I mainly whine about "American Beauty." (It's awful and I'm right.) We talk about what's missing from Hollywood in recent years, and where we may find it in the next few weeks. We also discuss whether a new set of films this year signals a turning point in the fight against cancel culture. And did I mention I'm right about "American Beauty"?

The Ancient Hatred -- and Myths -- Returns

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/12/09

Many of us have expressed shock at both the grotesque and barbaric October 7 attacks by Hamas, as well as the rush to embrace Hamas' cause on the streets and college campuses of America. Harley Lippman, a member of boards at both Columbia and Yale as well as an executive committee member for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, shares the shock but reminds us of the history involved. We discuss the "Poison Ivies" moment in Congress, the need to correct the record on a number of fronts when

Stalking Henry Kissinger?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/12/06

Why would Andrew Malcolm have tagged along on Henry Kissinger's honeymoon? The Prince of Twitter talks about the latest story of his storied career at RedState. We also discuss what he learned from the Newsom-DeSantis debate, and why media consumers need to know that journalists are actively suppressing news for their own social-justice goals.

Are we facing an American Kristallnacht?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/12/05

A rising tide of violence and campaign of intimidation against Jews keeps escalating. In Philadelphia, a mob targeted a Jewish-owned business, while angry activists demanded a terrorist 'intifada revolution' in New York City. A.J. Kaufman, managing editor of the Tri-Cities Business Journal, discuss the new climate of a very old hatred, and what may come next.

Deja Vu and Forgotten Standards

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/11/28

The 2024 election cycle may be deja vu in more ways than one. Andrew Malcolm talks about the nagging familiarity he's feeling already, and we discuss whether either party will be able to change directions. We also discuss the media coverage of the Gaza war, and more!

WaPo Wobbles

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/11/14

How did the Washington Post fumble its integrity twice in the last week? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss what happened to our friend Michael Ramirez, a two-time Pulitzer winning editorial cartoonist, when critics smeared his cartoon of a specific Hamas leader as "racist." They're also still pushing the "Gazan health officials" dodge too. Plus, we talk about the changing nature of the GOP presidential nomination contest after Tim Scott pulled out.

Michael New is Still Optimistic About Pro-life

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/11/13

Did abortion sink Republicans in last week's elections? Michael J. New of the Charlotte Lozier Institute and National Review says the media have overblown the impact, especially in Virginia. We talk about the necessity for Republicans to get a unified approach on the issue and learn how to campaign on it positively.
