America went to war with Iran this weekend. How did the media report it? Andrew Malcolm and I take a look at that question, along with the messages that Operation Epic Fury sends. Is China listening? Plus, I put down a Malcolm rebellion!

Donald Trump delivers the first State of the Union address of his second term tonight. What will make this one different? Andrew Malcolm and I preview the speech, discuss the recent faceplants from Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the media's attempts to kickstart the 2028 presidential cycle.

Will Iran finally cut a deal on ballistic missiles and terrorism, or will a refusal result in an American military response? Middle East Forum's Jim Hanson analyzes the current deployments, games out the options, and reveals the capabilities of the massive force arrayed against the Islamic Republic. And what are the risks of a failed state?

Marco Rubio wowed Europe with his speech at the Munich Security Conference. But did he say anything different than J.D. Vance did a couple of weeks ago? Andrew Malcolm and I speculate on a good cop/bad cop dynamic from the Trump administration when it comes to Europe and NATO. We also weigh in on the speculative analysis and conspiracy theorizing over Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. Andrew takes a sharp look at Capitol Hill retirements, and we both share memories of the late, great Robert Duvall.

Bad Bunny or Kid Rock? Neither Andrew Malcolm nor I can pick a winner for sure in this game, but at least the Halftime Show War may have been more competitive than the game. We talk about the lost value of great defense in today's NFL, plus we both wonder how long the NFL can stage football in its current form.

What happened to the expected strike this weekend? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the dog that didn't bark, or rather the dog that didn't bite, and why Trump may have waited. Will Iran negotiate in good faith? Will our regional allies give us a green light if they don't? We also take a look at the trade deal with India, and whether that might bring Putin's war machine to a halt. Finally, we take a look at the latest propagandizing at the New York Times and CNN.

Will a change in the lineup give everyone some breathing room in Minneapolis? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the dramatic changes taking place in the standoff between Donald Trump, Tim Walz, and Jacob Frey, and why Tom Homan may be the right man to take charge. Where does that leave Kristi Noem? We also talk about Andrew's latest "Malcolm's Memories" column, getting the lowdown on the Great TP Shortage of 1973, and how to properly hold an Oscar.

Just how bad is the new Star Trek series from Paramount Plus? Our old friend Cranky T-Rex sits down with me for well over an hour to dissect the new entry in Alex Kurtzman's Trek universe, in which science disappears altogether and the fiction is barely above the Young Adult level. Both of us feel like we swallowed our own combadges after watching the free pilot on YouTube, but the problem isn't just the wokery. It's the disdain that Kurtzman has for Trek, and for the audience who loved it.

Donald Trump called for a 10% cap for annual percentage rates on credit cards. Will that help consumers, or strip most of them from access to credit? Phil Kerpen of AmericanCommitment.org explains the market impact such a regulation would create. We also work in a brief discussion of the latest Star Trek TV series, which deserves no credit at all.

Trump celebrated the first anniversary of his second non-consecutive term as president. What has he accomplished? Andrew Malcolm and I go over the report card, talk about Greenland, and what Trump needs to do with his second year after perhaps the most consequential first year possible.
