Andrew and Jerry Save The World!

Easter Sunday also happened to coincide with the National Transgender Day of Visibility, and Andrew and Jerry noodle through how that happened to happen.  With the myriad months, weeks and days dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ agenda, what does this mean for the world at large from both a theological and civil society perspective.  What happens when society abandons objective truth?  Jerry talks about ho...

The State of the Union is Angry (or IS IT?)!  Andrew and Jerry break down last week's bizarre and largely unprecedented State of the Union address.  What does it say about Biden's mental state?  They talk about the President's departure from SOTU norms by focusing on Ukraine at the top of the speech, then saying there's a crisis in democracy, and then spending a huge chunk of the speech demonizing...

With Jerry delayed a bit, Andrew sat down to do a couple of solo interviews for the podcast.  He's joined by former Congressman Doug Collins (R-GA) and Jon Schweppe from the American Principles Project!  Rep. Collins talks about the war on intellectual property with the Biden Administration's attempt to seize patents as a backdoor way of implementing price controls on drugs, as well as the problem...

It's Day 2 of CPAC, and Jerry is coming in HOT!  Tales of altercations narrowly avoided, and just how one should navigate crowds.  We're joined by singer/songwriter Hadas Levy, who follows up on our conversation with the creative forces behind Cabrini with a discussion of how changing the culture can change societal narratives.  Mary Walter joins again, and we get her thoughts on the top issues fa...

It's that most-wonderful time of the year!  CPAC 2024 is upon us! Jerry is late, so Andrew has to handle some of the interview duties.  He's joined by Horace Cooper from the National Center for Public Policy Research's Project 21.  Then he sits down with former Trump White House Deputy Communications Director Roma Daravi, when Jerry arrives.  Together they have a chat with Jordan Harmon and Leo Se...

There's breaking news happening!  It's being reported that Ronna Romney McDaniel is stepping down as Chair of the Republican National Committee.  Who is going to replace her? Major media outlets are reporting that Chairman of the North Carolina GOP, Michael Whatley, is going to step in as Chairman of the RNC.  As it happens, Andrew has known Michael Whatley for more than two decades, and last year...

New year, new show!  It's been a crazy first few weeks of 2024, and between work and weather, it's been tough to get together to do a show.  Andrew and Jerry break down the wet start to 2024, and talk about the weather in the context of both the climate change and energy debates.  They talk about the public policy problem of offering up so-called "solutions" that don't actually address problems (i...

It's the last AJSTW before the end of the year, and 2023's most-important story broke this week:  4 members of the Colorado Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump ineligible for the presidential primary ballot, and not only ordered his name removed from it, but also took the extraordinary step of ruling that any write-in votes cast for Trump would be tossed out.  Obviously, Jerry and Andrew are deeply t...

Andrew and Jerry are LIVE from the studios at the Conservative Partnership Campus!  Jerry has Seinfeldian tales of parking his car, and this seems apt given the surreality of our political climate.  They revisit this week's debate, and question the purpose for which it serves. They look at the 2024 presidential landscape, and wonder whether we will even have an election result this time next year....

The Christmas season is upon us, but the craziness doesn't abate.  Andrew and Jerry start with the story of a city council meeting in Oakland, CA and the hatred and misinformation that ensued.  They explore the history of anti-semitism on the left, and the relationship between the evolution of DEI and the deepening of anti-semitic hate within the progressive movement. They then talk about the rece...

We are exactly one year out from the 2024 presidential elections, and Andrew & Jerry break it all down for you.  The third GOP Candidates debate was last night, and we talk about who won, who lost, and whether or not things were at all better with only five candidates on the stage.  What happens when you wait until after the debate to watch highlights?  Do you come away with a different impres...

In the two weeks since our last Episode, the planet has edged closer to another World War, with Hamas attacking Israel and the Middle East coming close to exploding as a result. Andrew and Jerry sit down to dispel myths about the history of the conflict between Israel and the so-called "Palestinians" (and they explain why they refer to "Palestinians as "so-called" and put "Palestinians" in quotes)...

Speaker McCarthy is OUT, and Andrew and Jerry have a deep discussion as to why. Is there really chaos in Congress--and if there is, is there anything new about it?  What kind of Speaker was McCarthy?  What did he accomplish, if anything?  What did Matt Gaetz and the 7 Republicans who joined him accomplish, if anything?  They discuss the hypocrisies in all this, and whether chaos is an essential el...

The second GOP debate is upon us, and Donald Trump will be absent again. Jerry lays out the case as to why he thinks this should disqualify Trump from the Primary ballot, and Andrew asks Jerry whether this changes his view of Rank Choice Voting.  Trump is going to speak to the UAW instead, and Andrew & Jerry debate the merits of this and whether Trump will fumble the opportunity by mangling hi...

Are mask mandates coming back?  Andrew and Jerry talk about the soft re-introduction of Covid19 mask protocols and Anthony Fauci's appearance on CNN over the weekend.  What is America's appetite for new mandates or lockdowns--and why are masks a form of sacrament to the left?  There's a word for the intersection of corporate and state power, which is exactly why, despite a lower tolerance for mand...

Apologies in advance for Andrew's bad audio. President Biden brushes off a legitimate question from a reporter about the tens of millions of dollars paid by foreign governments to the Biden family, and Andrew and Jerry discuss the significance of this revelation. Then, we're two weeks shy of the first Republican presidential debate, and Andrew is unhappy with everyone. Andrew and Jerry examine the...

Just a day after Hunter Biden's longtime business associate, Devin Archer, gave explosive and incredibly illuminating testimony to Congress, America's attention was turned away from possible Biden family corruption to a new set of indictments against former President Trump--making the weaponization and politicization of the nation's justice system abundantly clear.  Andrew and Jerry talk about the...

If Hollywood disappeared as a result of both the Writers' Guild and Screen Actors' Guild striking, would anyone really notice or care?  Andrew and Jerry talk abut the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, and what this could mean for Hollywood (and entertainment for years to come).  Where and how might one be sympathetic?  Why so many of us just don't care - or see that Hollywood is getting its just desserts...

Another Independence Day is upon us, and Andrew and Jerry focus on the fundamentals.  The 2022-2023 Supreme Court term came to a stunning end, and with that, the attacks on the High Court's legitimacy have started to approach a fever pitch.  They discuss the cases in the latest term, and what the statistics really show regarding the court's ideology.  What are the roots of the left's animosity tow...

Andrew is back from his trip to Alaska, and boy did he miss a ton!  Trump gets indicted, then arraigned, and he and Jerry agree that just about EVERYONE commenting on the Trump indictment is wrong - Never Trumpers, Pro-Trumpers, libertarians, progressives, conservatives, NOBODY seems to be calling balls and strikes.  They break down the indictment, talk about what Trump's been accused of, and the...

We have a debt ceiling deal... or do we?  Andrew and Jerry break down the arguments for and against the deal, who won, who lost, and whether or not calls to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy are spot-on or overblown.  It's graduation season and the idelogues abound--Maryland Governor Wes Moore being one of the worst. Is he the kind of Democrat that ChatGPT (or Aaron Sorkin) might invent?  And when it co...

The Durham report on FBI/DOJ malfeasance in the investigation of Russian Collusion has dropped, and it paints a horrible picture.  Where does this scandal fit into tragedies like January 6th or Pearl Harbor or the Civil War?  What makes this worse than Watergate? But most-importantly, how does this report color our assessment of the victories and failures of the Trump Administration - from personn...

With a senate seat opening up in Maryland, rumors abound that Cal Ripken, Jr., the Hall of Fame baseball player for the Baltimore Orioles, might run for the US Senate.  Andrew and Jerry break down the rumor, but this leads into the greater question of the role of "celebrity" candidates, and what history has taught us about where they help and where they hurt.  The question then turns to former Mar...

Andrew is vexed by the pronoun debate as this week's show starts.  As Schoolhouse Rock told it, pronouns were used to take the place of nouns - but now, not so much so.  Andrew and Jerry break down the War on Pronouns, and talk about how things have gone off the rails - parents, who used to be in the role of setting boundaries for kids, are actively encouraging kids to step away from reality.  And...

It's Good Friday, and this puts Andrew and Jerry into a mood to look at the sweep of the world.  Drawing from Billy Joel's dystopian vision of New York, "Miami, 2017", they're inspired to title this week's episode, "See The Lights Go Out on Broadway".  The constant gaslighting of Americans by those in power and their media lackeys is in no small measure responsible for the mass hysteria we're seei...
