Will Rahm Rescue the Democrat Party?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/10/28

A new group on the Left has just diagnosed what ails the Democrats, and ... it won't come as any surprise. Andrew Malcolm and I talk about the warning from the Welcome project that radical politics means radical losses. Are there any moderates left in the party? I'm skeptical, but Andrew thinks one man may ride to the rescue.

The Last Charge of the Hippie Brigade

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/10/21

What happened this weekend? Did America stand up to the monarchy, or did they turn out for anarchy? Andrew Malcolm and I reach way back to the Crimean War for a couple of reasons today, as well as the Battle of Rorke's Drift (IYKYK), and more. We dissect the Protection Racket Media's coverage of the No Kings rallies, and scoff at the idea that this has any significance other than a check box on the way to a Democrat retreat on the Schumer Shutdown.

Hollywood Stunt Workers Celebrate Kirk's Assassination

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/10/20

Just how radically Left is Hollywood? Stunt man Erik Audé blows the lid off the stunt industry, where coordinators celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination and threaten livelihoods of conservatives outraged over their rhetoric.

What's next for the hostages, Israel, and Ukraine?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/10/15

Few if any entertainers have been more engaged in supporting the hostages and their families than Five For Fighting's John Ondrasik. We discuss the joy of their release, the struggles facing those families who lost loved ones over the last two years, and the hard work by Donald Trump and his team to achieve what seemed impossible a week earlier. John has plenty to say about the warped moral compass of the entertainment industry, and its origins in Academia. We also discuss his upcoming tour, and his

Triumphant Trump Cements 'Peace' Prize

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/10/14

The only people not to recognize Donald Trump's efforts for world peace seem to congregate in Oslo. Andrew Malcolm scolds the ignoble Nobel Committee, but remains a bit skeptical about how Trump pulled off his magic trick with Gaza. What side deals may have made this possible? Plus, we wonder how Democrats pushing the shutdown will deal with such an ascendant president without looking like ankle-biters. Finally, Andrew has technical issues whenever the Cleveland Browns come up, for some

Can Bari Bury Mainstream Media Bias?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/10/07

The Bari Weiss Era begins at CBS News. Will she restore credibility and fairness to the Tiffany Network, or will Weiss get buried by the progressive establishment at CBS? Andrew Malcolm seems more optimistic than I am about the prospects. We also discuss the changes this week at the Washington Post. Plus: What does the Schumer Shutdown tell us about our political culture -- and does anyone really care?

How to Stop Trying and Start Doing

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/27

Are you self-sabotaging by "trying"? Carla Ondrasik explains how to break the cycle that holds us back in careers, relationships, and everything else in her new book, Stop Trying: The Life-Transforming Power of Trying Less and Doing More. Carla and I have a great conversation about the book, her journey, and her passion for helping people break through.

John Ondrasik Talks: Free Speech, Shopping Carts, and...

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/25

Five for Fighting star John Ondrasik returns for a wide-ranging interview. We talk about entrepreneurship and shopping carts, as well as his music. His wife Carla has a new book coming out as well. However, we then delve deep into the Jimmy Kimmel controversy and free speech, in which John speaks as a creator in both music and commentary. That takes us to the topic of the Charlie Kirk memorial, Donald Trump's speech at the UN, Ukraine, and much more!

Kimmel & Fits

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/23

Jimmy Kimmel got suspended, then unsuspended, then held in limbo. Andrew Malcolm discusses whether this is a free speech issue or a market correction to a bad product. Also, is this yet another way in which Democrats are paving the way for a 2026 defeat?

Send a Message to the EPA -- And the Courts

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/17

The EPA wants to reverse not just the endangerment finding on carbon dioxide imposed on it, but also the Supreme Court precedent that enabled it. Phil Kerpen of American Commitment talks about his petition campaign to build support in the public comment period to reverse the endangerment rule. We discuss the challenges for Lee Zeldin in both the court and the political environment, and much more.

No More 'National Conversations'

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/16

As political violence ramps up, is it time for another 'national conversation'? Nope, says Andrew Malcolm, as those are just excuses for one-way lectures and demands to suppress real debate. We need to protect debate and dissent, and we discuss that in the context of the media coverage of the Charlie Kirk assassination.

Trump Corners Dems

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/09/09

Democrats are getting played on crime. As Andrew Malcolm points out, they're mainly getting played by their own Trump obsession. We discuss how Trump put them on the fringe of another consensus issue, plus the way that a viral crime story utterly defeated the Protection Racket Media embargo.

Trump Corners Dems -- Again

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/08/26

Once again, Donald Trump has forced Democrats to defend their indefensible policies. As Andrew Malcolm and I discuss, Trump's 'cornering strategy' has painted his opponents into the fringes of American politics. Can Democrats ever stop taking the bait? The opening day of the DNC's meeting in Minneapolis doesn't suggest that they are learning anything from the past seven months -- or the 2024 campaign before that.

Woke Is For Losers

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/08/05

Donald Trump's endorsement of Sydney Sweeney comes as no surprise, except to the people who keep falling for his trolling. Speaking of woke losers, Andrew Malcolm and I also discuss Kamala Harris' return to the spotlight on Stephen Colbert's dying platform. We also have our jokes of the week, and our observation on the YGBKM choice for Democrats' voice of conscience these days.

Is It Curtains for Late Night?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/07/29

Has Stephen Colbert rung the curtain down on a genre that stretches back to the start of television? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss what made it work for Johnny and Jay, and why the genre is doomed in the era of Regime Comedy. We also discuss a much-needed rethinking of Barack Obama's legacy, and why Donald Trump's trade success confounds both Democrats and the media.

A Trump Juke on the Uke?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/07/15

What is behind Donald Trump's change in direction on Russia and Putin? Andrew Malcolm predicted a major shift from Trump, and the next day Trump set out his 50-day deadline for Putin to stop the war. We debate what changed Trump's mind and approach, and how much more credibility he may have now after Operation Midnight Hammer.

What's Next in the Middle East?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/07/09

Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump have changed the face of the Middle East. How can Israel and the US stick the landing? Jeff Dunetz of Lidblog.com and I discuss the latest and try to game out whether Hamas has anywhere else to go.

They Wuz Serious About Dat?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/07/08

Was the decision to challenge Donald Trump to an early debate a secret head-fake, or some sort of bluff? Andrew Malcolm and I address the Worst Political Memo of 2024, and what it says about the Biden 'brain trust.' We also discuss our expectations of accountability for that scandal as well as the recent exposure of John Brennan's perjury before Congress. And when will Democrats stand for anything more coherent than Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Newsrooms or Narrative Labs?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/07/01

How did the news media transform into the narrative-propagation industry? Andrew Malcolm wrote an excellent column based on a lifetime of experience in the field. We discuss the celebritizaton of journalism, starting with All The President's Men, the impact that higher-ed indoctrination had on reporting, and how it misleads the people who need real facts the most: voters.

Iran On The Precipice?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2025/06/25

The Islamic Republic's regime has been battered in both military and political terms. Is this the moment when Iran implodes -- or frees itself from subjugation? Gregg Roman of the Middle East Forum lays out the competing interests, discusses how organic regime change could happen, and who the players are inside and outside Iran that would need to coalesce to make it happen.
