20 Years and Counting!

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/10/03

What lessons can we learn from 20 years in the free-speech battleground? The first lesson is that we're losing ground on it, as Andrew Malcolm and I discuss.

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

In his new book, "The War on Men," Dr. Owen Strachan diagnoses the destruction wrought by the nihilistic sexual revolution and trans ideology, especially on men.

An attempt to reach out to Russian youth may end up alienating Catholics in central and eastern Europe from Pope Francis. Veteran Vaticanista Francis X. Rocca of The Wall Street Journal joins me to discuss his report on pushback coming to the Vatican from those Catholics who remember Soviet domination much better than the pontiff apparently does. We discuss Pope Francis' blind spot when it comes to the Cold War, whether he's making a purposeful effort to set himself up as an honest broker in the

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/09/20

Why does Medicare pay two different rates for the same procedures? Dr. Richard Kube of Prairie Spine & Pain Institute of Peoria, Illinois explains how government sets incentives that eliminate patient choice and forces independent providers to pack up. Thirteen years after ObamaCare, the problems are only getting worse -- but some common sense changes could at least start us on the path of real reform.

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/08/30

The Coming Price Caps -- and Shortages -- in Medicare

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/08/29

The Biden administration has announced its first ten prescription medicines to qualify for their price "negotiation" with manufacturers. This isn't much of a negotiation, as American Commitment president Phil Kerpen reveals. The new authority for price "negotiation" includes draconian tax penalties for those companies that refuse to allow Medicare/Medicaid to set price caps. The end result won't be cheaper medicines, Phil explains, but scarcity.

Lots of Comment on "No Comment"

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/08/15

Did Joe Biden blow a hole in his media-generated empathy persona? Or did he just expose his cognitive issues? It might be both in Biden's "no comment" answer regarding the Maui fires, Andrew Malcolm and I suggest.
