The Andrew Cooperrider Show

Beshear lied from the podium at a press conference while claiming State Representative Bivens is spreading "misinformation" and should be ashamed. The state Supreme Court ruled that Beshear regained the power to control the Fair Board and the Executive Ethics Commission. Outside of the absurdity that the commissions and boards the legislature created by statute can now no longer be chang...

A data center developer is attempting to build in Kentucky and is getting pretty upset that citizens in the community won’t let him rezone the land. However, he’s getting some help from members of the government who are trying to push the data center for the tax revenues. Brian Luftman, founder and president of American Farm Investors, sent a letter to Mercer County Planning & Zoning, throwing...

A 3 a.m. email throws a Kentucky school district into chaos as the FCPS superintendent quits — but doesn’t quit, but definitely quits. I’ll read what most would call his resignation letter and point out just how ridiculous this all is. Hopefully we can all learn the dangers of emailing your employer at 3 a.m. from this. JCPS is building some new schools despite losing students. UK is coming under...

Beshear admits he is trying to sell the idea of data centers to Kentuckians. I discuss exactly why politicians everywhere are giving away tax incentives and taxpayer cash in order to attract massive data centers to their areas, despite the citizens they are supposed to represent not wanting them there. Beshear gave us a huge hint as to why with his statements.

Dr. Ralph Alvarado, Republican candidate for Congress in Kentucky’s 6th District, sits down with me to break down the biggest issues facing America: Iran, Israel, Ukraine, reckless government spending, and our exploding national debt. We also tackle the tough questions head-on — addressing the reasons some voters have hesitated to support him and what he has to say in response.

The House impeached a judge for the first time since 1916. Then a Supreme Court Justice threatened every House member with felonies — and disbarment if they were lawyers — for daring to do it. There were 4 other impeachment petitions filed… including one against another Supreme Court Justice. So what actually happened? How did it all go down? I sat down with Rep. Steve Doan, a member of the House...

Beshear declares a state of emergency! But it's not snowing, flooding, the wind isn't blowing, and a mass amount of people don't have the sniffles. So what is the emergency? Gas prices, he says. His orders include activating price-gouging laws, lowering the gas tax, and stopping a future hike. I'll break down exactly what he did, and importantly, did he do the same thing under Bide...

46% Thomas Massie, 40% Ed Gallrein, 14% Undecided — that's where Kentucky political insider and constitutional attorney Chris Wiest says the Thomas Massie vs. Ed Gallrein 4th Congressional race is currently polling. He joins me to discuss where the Senate race currently stands and whether Daniel Cameron has a lane to victory. We also break down the 4th Congressional District and what has happe...

Who is going to win the Kentucky Senate race? Who is going to win in the 4th District? Thomas Massie or Ed Gallrein? Who is going to win the 6th District congressional seat? I had a conversation with Dr. Stephen Voss, an associate professor of political science at the University of Kentucky. We discussed these questions. While no one has a crystal ball, you will hear insights about what happens in...

Iran war. Exploding national debt. Abortion. Immigration. AIPAC. Nate Morris — the businessman running to replace Mitch McConnell in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race — sat down with me and took tough questions from both me and live listeners. We hit those issues head-on, plus much more. No attacks. No softballs. Just direct questions wanting answers.

A $1.7 billion one-time spending bill was just signed by the Governor — and most of us had no idea it was even happening. Over $300 million in potential waste and abuse has been identified in HB 900. It started at $800 million for unnamed projects. Then, at last minute, it grew to $1.7 billion — stuffing in spending items that nobody had time to properly review… and that were kept hidden from Kent...

Beshear lied about HB1 to further his presidential aspirations. Shocker, I know — but Governor Beshear straight-up lied about what House Bill 1 actually does for school choice in Kentucky. He vetoed it, claiming it would take money from public schools and hurt Kentucky kids. That was false. HB1 simply lets Kentucky families participate in a federal tax credit scholarship program. Kentuckians can d...

I'm joined by Dog The Bounty Hunter to discuss a huge easter egg hunt going on in Louisville as well discuss his experience in hunting fugitives and views on the criminal justice system. Then I discuss a new Audit by Allison Ball, and a court case of a women being banned from her daughter's school for being too popular on social media.

I discuss how ridiculous the push to put a McConnell statue in the Frankfort Capitol building rotunda is when we look at who else his statue would sit by. I go through the Matt Bevin court case. Beshear responds to Ball's audit.

I discuss the first Senate debate and take live texts from the radio audience.

Kentucky's war on woke is far from over—our public universities are openly defying the law! I talk with Adam Guillette from Accuracy In Media (AIM) to break down their recent explosive undercover investigations that have exposed Western Kentucky University and the University of Kentucky. Hidden cameras caught staff admitting DEI is still alive and embedded in curricula—rebranded, hidden, and f...

The Kentucky House just passed a massive two-year budget totaling over $151 BILLION in appropriations — that's a 21%+ spending jump from the previous cycle! Yet some lawmakers are spinning it as a "freeze" or even a "cut" when you factor in inflation. How can a 21% increase be called stagnant? I provide a breakdown of the funding sources in the video but for quick reference...

I dig into the Kentucky Auditor’s report that found over $133 million in questionable spending by the Beshear administration. The report found issues with: 🔎 Advertising / Promo Items $2,488,789.77 — Total to Red7e $249,950 — COVID vaccine ad campaign $83,500 — Unspecified digital media services $339,365.90 — Video/social media vendor work $198,000 — Senior Meals media campaign $17,275 — Promo gi...

Not surprising but shocking how brazen they are in admitting to what they are doing. In 2025, the Kentucky Legislature passed HB 4, a law that finally took aim at the divisive college DEI programs. It banned: - Providing differential treatment or benefits based on an individual's religion, race, sex, color, or national origin (e.g., in admissions, scholarships, employment, or housing assignmen...

Should a breastfeeding mom arrested for drugs get less jail time? Should a parent who assaults someone get a lighter sentence just because they have kids? Kentucky Senate Bill 122 (just out of committee) would force judges to consider parental status—including breastfeeding—for more lenient sentences on “non-violent” felonies. Kentucky still labels second-degree assault (stabbings, severe beatings...

If Donald Trump makes an endorsement in the Kentucky Senate race, Nate Morris will get it. Elon Musk just dumped a RECORD $10 MILLION into a super PAC backing Nate Morris. With Nate's ties to Trump Jr., JD Vance, Charlie Kirk's endorsement, and now Elon Musk — how can Trump go against all his allies in this race? KY Senate passes a Property Tax Win for Seniors — but when will everyone get...

Rep. Tom Smith (R-Corbin) files HB 370—a 38% gas tax hike over two years, plus automatic increases up to 5% every year after. Your wallet at the pump is going to take a hit if this isn't stopped. In this video, I dismantle Tom's "reasoning" and show why it's completely flawed. Too many years in government leaves a politician clueless about life as a normal, taxpaying Kentucki...

Are these protests really organic? Is the outrage we're seeing truly grassroots—or is something else at play? I sat down for a candid interview with Adam Swart, the founder and CEO of Crowds on Demand — the company that literally hires crowds, activists, and protesters for events across the country. In this eye-opening episode, we dive into: Who actually funds so-called "grassroots"...

Andy Beshear says Kentucky’s economy has “never been stronger", in his State of The Commonwealth address. Here’s what he doesn’t want you to do: the math. We’re wasting billions in taxpayer dollars, subsidizing private employers at a cost over $200,000 per job created, while Beshear pads his economic claims with raw numbers that collapse once you adjust for inflation. When you do adjust? Matt...

Kentucky politicians keep telling you they’re “investing in the future” — but who’s really cashing in and who’s left paying the bill. While regular Kentuckians are told to tighten their belts, the government keeps writing blank checks to the same insiders, consultants, and pet projects — all under the banner of economic development. At some point cuts need to be made, but there are defenders for e...
