Ed Morrissey, Managing Editor at Hot Air, and host of the Ed Morrissey Podcast, joins Seth to analyze the media's response to the recent FlyDubai Flight 1073 incident, where a would-be hijacker attempted to crash a plane into Tel Aviv, Israel. Ed points out the importance of acknowledging the threat of terrorism and its implications on immigration policies. He also shares his thoughts on the Senate race in Texas, where Democrat James Talarico is running, and what sort of Democratic candidate even has the chance to flip the solid Red state. Ed and Seth also geek out over music, discussing the art of reinterpretation and the genius of singer-songwriters like Paul Simon and Billy Joel. They also touch on the topic of Taylor Swift, who Ed praises for her talent, intelligence, and business acumen after she was recently captured on camera supporting her husband Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce at a game.
