How did the Elon Musk-Don Lemon partnership end before it began? Andrew Malcolm and I take a look at the former CNN anchor's claims that Musk is racist with a very large grain of salt. We also talk about the entitled media in general and the credibility bloodbath of their "bloodbath coverage." Andrew has some good advice for Trump, and we have some bad jokes for each other, too.

Those of us who lived with the "Evil Empire" knew its character, even if we may not have realized the depths of its depravity. With Academia chock-full of communist apologists, Bill Whittle and Daily Wire+ want to remind everyone of the mass-murdering Marxists when they seize power. Bill's new documentary series An Empire of Terror has already begun streaming on the platform, and Bill walks us through the process of filming it -- and why it is so necessary in this moment.

"Take care of the land, and the land will take care of you." That core Midwest ethos got betrayed by the elites and institutions long before Donald Trump seized on the anger, and it had nothing to do with "white rural rage" either. Andrew Malcolm captured more than he may have known in his brilliant true-crime book Final Harvest: An American Tragedy, and we connect dots in today's podcast.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
