The video version of Episode 88 of Andrew and Jerry Save The World!
Free Speech Week was just before the election, but Andrew and Jerry engage in a belated celebration. Joined by Patrick Maines, former President and CEO of the Media Institute, they break down the importance of rights to free speech, the erosion of those rights over time, and the challenges to free speech in 2024 and beyond. They talk about Patrick's career, the work of the Media Institute, and those who are championing free speech currently.
After Patrick leaves, Andrew and Jerry talk a little more about the subject, and then turn to current events - talking about the nomination of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General (as well as other prominent Trump picks), the predictable caterwauling from the left and Never Trumpers, and why it's important for people to "keep their powder dry".

It's been a bit, and Andrew and Jerry are sorry, folks. Now that Andrew's not doing 5-day a week radio, we'll be better at posting regular episodes. WE PROMISE!
But what better time than this week to come back with ALL NEW SHOWS??!! The results are finally in, and it's a TRIFECTA! Trump wins the presidency (handily), the GOP takes control of the Senate and maintains control of the House. Just what DOES this mean for the electorate, everyday Americans, and the world at large? Where do things stand with the transition... and have things finally calmed down with regards to the left's reaction to the election?
Plus, what were the biggest mistakes on the part of the Democrats in this campaign? What do the Democrats need to do to have electoral success down the road? What do Republicans need to do to have the American people keep supporting them?
You get it all here with the Andrew and Jerry Save The World Post-Election 2024 Special!
ICYMI - my closing message from Friday's show (11/8/2024). This isn't goodbye, but (hopefully), see you soon!
ICYMI - the message at the tail end of my show on Friday, November 8! This isn't goodbye, but (hopefully) see you later!
It's the video version of Episode 75!
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 (if they don't make them worse), and this dovetails into DEI policies, issues of race, and the demand in some corners for reparations--and, drawing a line between the call for reparations and the failed outcomes of Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty (that became a War on the Poor), discuss just how reparations might destroy communities of color in the United States. The issue of policies that empower versus disempower people and what happens in an America where the left has make it impossible for Americans to have a common political heritage. Then they look at the 2024 election--and the hypocrisy of so-called thought leaders who claim to be concerned about the impact of Biden Administration economic policy, yet seem to be working overtime to ensure Joe Biden's re-election.
