The Andrew Cooperrider Show

The Senate considers a bill that would open back up the road between the Annex and the Capitol Building. SOS Adams takes aim at a voter ID law that would strength voter ID requirements. A common talking point of Beshear’s is that teachers aren’t paid enough. I’ll take a look at teacher pay and compare apples to apples with the rest of the working force in KY.

A second school choice bill has been filed. I go over what has been posted on the Order Of The Day in the KY House and dig into the bills that are being voted on. 

Political reporters are constantly reminding us that they need our monetary support. Perhaps, if the Herald-Leader didn’t employ journalist pretending to report the news while pushing a narrative they would have a more successful business. A former legislator and one on their way out has a complaint session in the papers about how “the climate” in Frankfort has made it “not fun anymore”. A lawsuit...

I go over some interesting election news from Northern Kentucky, and from West Central Kentucky. The floor comments made by Kentucky Democrats about HB18 show just how much contempt they have for property rights.

Beshear keeps using the word we in his speeches and social media posts. I take a look at the deeper meaning behind the use of the word. I go into some bills that are moving. One Dem. Rep. proposes an amendment that would allow immunity for child pornography in some situations. The Dem candidate says vote for me because I’m 29, a woman, and a single mom. 

As schools around the state closed on Monday, I discuss how covid has changed the way our schools handle days off. Beshear says we just need universal Prek to solve all our schooling problems. Shell successfully beats back Biden on a farm issue that would have hurt Kentucky. HB5 has problems, I’ll go over what those are.

Hardin County GOP takes a position in a state House primary. Rep. Maddox proposes a new law to allow 18 or older to conceal carry. School lobbying groups want an unconstitutional pay raise. #Kentucky #politics #education #2A 

Beshear allies fire up a new political group to try and enact his policies. SB10 passes in the Senate. Should the Legislature be giving Teach For America $700,00? #Kentucky #politics #kybudget #Beshear 

I dig into the real story behind the incest bill, and how the media has completely missed the real story that points to just how often our legislators pass laws without reading them. The $72,752,317,736 budget bill has dropped, I take a look at the first few things worth noting. One thing in the budget is the continued funding of DEI training incentives for K-12 teachers. A new lawsuit alleges mor...

Michael Adams digs down into democrat talking points in order to fend off challengers to his early voting procedures. I take a look at the top 12 subsides awarded in 2023 and one thing becomes very clear. There is no coherent economic development plan being executed in Kentucky. HB234 would allow child support to pregnant mothers, I’ll discuss reason to support and oppose. Visit Lex sent a message...

I go through some bills set to be voted on in the coming days. One of which will move Kentucky’s Constitutional Officer’s Elections to the Presidential Election year. Herald-Leader released a list of 24 to watch in 24, but it seems they didn’t understand the assignment. People are speaking out in defense of homeless street camping; we will see what they had to say. #Kentucky #Laws #elections #stre...

Beshear gives a press conference where his actions indicate he is screening reporter's questions. Osborne indicates that Josh Calloway's School Choice Admendment won't be the one that passes.

A recent study says Kentucky is on of the worst places to raise a family. I take a look at the studies metrics to see what the truth is. Republican Senator files a bill to make the Kentucky Board of Education Commissioner’s position an elected position. Sen. Neal files a guns storage law that makes absolutely no sense.  #Kentucky #Politicis #KYSchools #2A #gunlaws

I start off by going over what we should be demanding our legislature do for this budget year. A school choice amendment bill has been filed. Rep. Proctor files three bills taking aim at CON Laws. Senator Schickel files a bill to end early in person voting, and Adams is upset about it. If you want to take action on any bills call (502) 564-8100 . #Kentucky #Politicis #budget #schoolchoice #conlaws...

Now that bills banning DEI in colleges and K-12 education have Benn introduced, I ask why are these bill sponsors the same people who were pushing DEI just a few months ago? Beshear has a new PAC indicating he is eyeing up a presidential run. House and Senate Leadership were on KET recently; I take a look at what they said.  #DEI #Kentucky #Politicis #Beshear #kybudget

A candidate brings pigs to Frankfort. The Left has lost their mind on the KY GOP, calling for them to be thrown in jail for treason. SB6 is addressing DEI in colleges, but what about the DEI push in K-12 education in Kentucky? #Politicis #Kentucky #DEI #J6 #GOP

I answer a viewer question on government handouts to private businesses. Eric Deters files to run against Massie in the Republican primary, but is Deters actually eligible to be on the ballot? Matt Lockett has proposed a constitutional amendment to take away an end date for the legislative session. I’ll go over how this could change things, and the arguments for and against the change. 

Michael Adams calls for “a tolerant and welcoming” Kentucky for all. I go into the problems with his mealiness platitudes. Beshear gave his State Of The Commonwealth address. I dig in and point out the many problems with his speech. Remember to like, comment, share, and subscribe to show support for the show. 

A heated debate breaks out in House Republican Caucus where some reps. Show their true colors. The Left is losing it over a bill to ban teaching  public college students to be racist.

A shooting occurs in Lexington just a block away from the police station. Beshear continues to claim that more Kentuckians are not gambling with legalized sports betting, but rather they were just doing so out of state or illegally before. However, calls to the gambling addiction hotline paint a different story. 

As filing deadline approaches, I go over which State Legislature seats to watch. Most of us know that the vehicle registration has been shut down for a few weeks, but is there another reason for the change? A new EV tax is starting this year as well, I’ll go over the reasoning behind the new tax.

I suggest some new year’s resolutions for political activism. A new session is starting tomorrow and one thing to watch is the rules vote in the House, I’ll go over why. With Thayer’s last session coming up I’ll go over one person who has been mentioned to replace him. 

The Kentucky Arts Coucil comes under a microscope as I take a look at who is receiving our tax dollars through their grants. I discover a cesspool of far left “arts” groups that are using your dollars to push forward a far left social agenda right here in Kentucky. 

McConnell’s approval ratings hit a new low of 6%. I dig into all the salaries Kentucky is paying in order to fund the DEI scam. Rep. John Hodgson gives a legislative update. Finally, I take a look at Kentucky Entertainment Incentive Tax Credit program.
