Podcast Andrew Coppens

A 'family-owned' coffee shop in Oakland was caught on film denying entry to a Jewish woman who wanted to use a bathroom in their shop, or so the right-wing narrative goes. The truth is far more disgusting on behalf of the anti-Semitic leftists that occupied jobs at the coffee shop. They actually were hiding the very anti-semitic language scribbled …

The GOP held its final debate before the 2024 Primary season begins with the Iowa Caucuses in January and Ron DeSantis was a clear winner. He even told us he'd take inspiration from Calvin Coolidge. An interesting choice and if he does, does that mean he gets what needs to be done on the federal government level? Also, Joe Biden can't hide behind e…

Sen. Dick Durbin (IL) has a plan to solve the illegal immigration crisis — turn them in to soldiers...if they can pass a background check of course. Also, is Juwan Howard going to make it to the end of the season in Ann Arbor and what about CBDC as a tool to eliminate debt. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

So, let me get this straight, the United States official position is that the Palestinian Authority, a literal terrorist organization, that up until today and still tomorrow, pays people to kill Jews or martyr themselves in the name of Allah, is the answer to the Israeli-Hamas conflict? What kind of fresh hell did Kamala Harris unleash this weekend…

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took on California Governor Gavin Newsom in a debate last night and I've got some thoughts — including how DeSantis making Newsom own the poop on the streets of San Francisco was a master stroke. Also, Joe Biden has two of the worst takes of the week and Elon Musk says what every person would like to do to Disney and w…

Donald Trump received an endorsement from Rhode Island BLM's president. So, naturally, that means the black vote in America is about to flip bigly!! Or not. Also, Vivek loved him some COVID segregation and CTU loves themselves some grift, this time funneling taxpayer money through family members in the name of charity, or something. Hosted on Acast…

Auron MacIntyre wrote an article at The Blaze that triggered some thoughts in me, as he noted the managerial takeover and schism that's happening in the left-controlled world of academia and government. He sees opportunity to take over, but how and for what? So many have no answers, just thoughts. That's the problem on the right. Also, Michigan vot…

Irish politicians are debating speech laws, based on the "common good." Also, in Ireland, 3 little girls were stabbed to death by an Islamist and riots and violence broke out in a nation that is seeing mass illegal immigration. Sound familiar? Is what is happening in Ireland the future of America too? Also, should Ohio State part ways with Ryan Day…

It's the end of a short week here on Critical Thinking, so Andrew is bringing you his best and worst takes of the week featuring the truth the left doesn't want you to know about Thanksgiving and the whole Indians and Pilgrims debate. Also, Canada's Human Rights Commission believes Christmas and Easter are bigoted holidays because they are the only…

Human Rights Campaign came out with it's report on trans murders in America, on National Day of Trans Remembrance (of course), and it wants us to know there's an epidemic of trans murders happening in America. Is that true? Is the White House just parroting false information once again? Well, we're going to dive in to the data and get you an answer…

Self-described Anarcho-capitalist and Libertarian, Javier Milei, won Argentina's Presidential election over the weekend. It should be something to celebrate for the liberty movement, but instead, many took time to crap all over the win by applying their own purity tests to him. We discuss that, plus Janet Yellen wants you to know aid to Ukraine for…

After giving you some history of the evil beginnings of compulsory public education from the 1850's onward, we fast-foward to today, where Chicago Teachers Union and the Illinois Federation of Teachers are attempting to kill off a privately-funded, but publicly-accessible scholarship program for school choice called the "Invest in Kids" scholarship…

I know you think of public school as a way to better ones self, climb the social ladder and give you the tools to be anything you want to be. Except, that's not the real history of public schools and not what those who are protecting them competition today are actually fighting for. On today's program I look at the history of how and why public edu…

The third and allegedly final debate prior to the 2024 GOP Primary race beginning went down last night in Florida and I've got some things I loved and hated. Chief amongst the hated was Nikki Haley's lame abortion answer, basically telling GOP voters you better take a "you do you, boo" stance on abortion or you're a bad person. Also, Vivek did some…

Whether it was a big loss for pro-lifers in Ohio or the Team MAGA and GOP choice for governor in Kentucky getting blown out or more state legislatures flipping, 2023 election night was not good for the Republican Party. Yet, so many believed it would be. Why? What in the past or the present would suggest such a thing would happen? Maybe it's time t…

Ever notice that not a single one of the "I'm just Pro-Palenstine, not Pro-Hamas" protestors ever criticize Hamas? Ya, us too. Also, what is or isn't coming the way of Jim Harbaugh and Michigan football and is Joe Biden the responsible party for all the chaos in America and abroad? In the final show with both Andrew and Pat behind the mic, we take …

Recently, Prof. Scott Galloway from NYU went on Bill Maher's program and said it's time for grace and forgiveness to those who just "didn't know any better" during the COVID era. We discuss when grace and forgiveness should come their way. Also, our weekly Big Ten and NFL picks as well. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Nearly a month after 1,400 civilians were murdered by Hamas inside Israel, the left has taken a new tact in its oppressed vs oppressor narrative — demanding that Israel only fight a perfect war, with no civilian casualties. That's right, Hamas can murder any number of innocent civilians, but in rooting out Hamas, Israel must conduct perfect warfare…

Coach Prime has been all the talk and all the hype in College Football this year, moving from Jackson State to the Colorado Buffaloes. But, after another brutal loss and a 4-4 record, many are wondering if his act is already wearing thin in the thin air of Colorado. Can Coach Prime actually coach or was his overwhelming talent disparity what won hi…

While Americans largely believe we should be paying attention to Hamas vs. Israel, the rest of the world is telling us that our pledge of 'Never Again' after WW2 may be a lie. Why? Well, watch what's happening to Jewish people all over the world as the conflict in Israel continues. Do we actually mean, 'Never Again' anymore? The time for nuance is …

Full disclosure, we recorded this episode on Thursday night and just as we began recording news broke about the United States attacking Iranian-backed targets in Syria. So, all of this played out in real-time for you. Also, we see Kamala Harris tout Aussie gun laws, both the best and worst Abortion take at the same time and Tim Brando gives us a gr…

A recent poll about the Hamas attack on Israel told us that overall, Americans do not support what Hamas did, there was no justification for it. Yet, a majority of the 18-24 crowd and a near majority of the 18-34 groups actually say Hamas was justified. Proof is in the unrepentant support of Hamas by the NYU Law School Student Bar Association Presi…

Just hours after indicating support for Tom Emmer, Donald Trump turns around and knifes the 3rd GOP nominee for Speaker of the House right in the back. What in the sam-hell is going on out there? Also, Biden and stages don't get along very well, The Blaze makes a bold move towards independent and parallel economies and there's no need for reading, …

Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell wants us to believe that the war in Ukraine is good because it's propping up parts of the U.S. economy. That's right, because nearly 40% of the Ukraine aid is spent here to help with the depleted stockpile of weapons we are sending to Ukraine, we must keep the war going y'all. Also, Michigan football be in so…

It's that time of the week, where Andrew and Pat discuss the best and worst takes of the week that was, featuring a blubbering Rashida Tlaib, Canada voting to allow the mentally-ill to off themselves and not one, but two great takes from Libertarians in Hannah Cox and Justin Amash. My heart be still! Don't forget to grab yourself some of the best c…

Day 4 of the Republican Party attempting to show us it has its act together begins with yet another vote and likely even less votes in favor of Jim Jordan to become the next speaker of the house. Also, Rashida Talib leads an insurrection against the United States...errr...I mean a "peaceful protest" in the Cannon Office Building or something like t…

Clint Russell and others have told us that Israel has a right to self-defense, but only if it doesn't kill a single civilian. Also, Israel needs to go back to the '67 borders and stop indiscriminately killing Palestinian woman and children. Is the Anti-War position of the Libertarian left clouding them from seeing the realities that exist? Also, a …

It's a #TruthOrFiction Tuesay and we want to know whom is showing Presidential Leadership when it comes to the Hamas-Israeli conflict. Turns out, only one person seems to and his name is Ron DeSantis. From bringing people home in droves to standing firm on refugees from Gaza and that Hamas is preventing its own people from escaping their war, he's …

Many claim to be free speech absolutists, yet Pro-Hamas protests and anti-semitic rhetoric from around the globe is challenging many people's tolerance of abhorrent speech. We discuss a video from London in which radical Islamic speech crossed all sorts of lines, yet no consequences were felt in a place in which any anti-Islamic talk would be met w…

Pat fills in for Andrew and discusses the idea of "6 Ways To Disagree" for Russell M. Nelson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He also covers the lie that is Dylan Mulvaney being crowned "woman" of the year and he gives his take on the situation going on over in Israel with Hamas. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy …

This level of coordination? The amount of terrorists it took to pull this off? Iran's deep involvement? How did Israeli and American intelligence miss this attack? It's a question many have been asking and the answer lies in what has been taking place since 2014 — a massive 'spy ring' within the American political and intelligence world. One that l…

Not all Dems are really socialists, but all socialists strangely seem to be lining up with Hamas after their unprovoked and indiscriminate attack on civilians in Israel. Also, are Trans Lesbians real lesbians? The U.N. says so. What about Kevin McCarthy's ouster as speaker and the role America can or can't play to assist Israel because of it. Oh, a…

Hamas launched an unprovoked and surprise attack on Israeli land and people from all over the world over the weekend. The stories of innocent lives taken in brutal fashion are terrible to hear and see, yet somehow a battle over the moral high ground has also broken out. The US and Israeli's created Hamas and are reaping what they sowed, some say. O…

Hillary Clinton suggests some reprogramming for the MAGA Forever Cultists, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson can't find the time to do his job because he's got a wife and kids y'all and what would it take to get to pre-pandemic levels of "housing affordability?" The answer might shock you. Also, Chip Roy tells the "you're a RINO" crowd where they can s…

Lately, the refrain from the left when asked about the evidence against Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and the rest of the Biden Crime Family has been that there is nothing illegal about unconditionally loving ones son. Let us critically think through that idea. Also, what if I told you that you had a 1-in-800 chance of a severe adverse event if you got t…

For the first time in our nation's history, the Speaker of the House was removed from the position by a vote of congress. So, now that the conservative wing of Team GOP got its wish, what's the plan? Well, more of the same — because there is no plan. Also, Trevor Bauer lets all the truth fly in the wake of settling a sexual assault lawsuit and his …

Donald Trump's campaign demands the GOP stop future debates and give him all his money. Should they do it? Also, we discuss the hapless Chicago Bears, the useless Kevin McCarthy and RFK Jr's role as potential 2024 spoiler. All that and Gavin Newsom checking all the leftist boxes in his pick to take the Senate seat of Diane Feinstein, on this #Truth…

What was that from the Grand Old Party? The GOP? The Republican Party? Because what took place at the Reagan Library was terrible, horrible and also the poster-child for a party that is dying before our very eyes. Fox News was a disgrace and so were many on the stage. Andrew is flying solo and he'll be breaking that down along with the numbers and …

Are you ready to learn about queer geese? What about owls and other animals? Don't worry, Cook County in Illinois is here to teach you some 'queer ecology' — because everything must be queer. Also, is the house of cards coming tumbling down for Joe Biden and the Biden Crime Family and what about Canadian Nazi's? Yes, it is a #WTFWednesday here on C…

Donald Trump continues to run to the left of everyone else in the GOP field on abortion. Is it a losing strategy as well as morally bankrupt? Also, has Donald Trump changed since 2016 and are the Atlanta Braves going to win the World Series this year? What about Americans having too much freedom? All that and more on this #TruthOrFiction Tuesday. H…

Tim Ballard, founder and former CEO of Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), has had multiple allegations made against him of both a sexual and financial nature. Many have taken to condemnation and others to backing him up. But, in the court of public opinion it seems he's already guilty. It's par for the course in today's culture, but does it make…

Democrats continue to deny the crisis at the Souther border, after all there's no such thing as an "open border" according to them. Also, Ron DeSantis takes down the mainstream media narrative of "trust the CDC" and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) takes on Merrick Garland's continued stonewalling of congressional oversight. Oh, and a brand new #RichardOf…

On Sunday night, New England Patriots fan Dale Moony died from blows suffered in a fight with a Miami Dolphins fan. It's a tragedy that was wholly avoidable, but it isn't just about opposing fans passions for their teams either. We must deal with the reality that this explosion in violence at sporting events says way more about our society in gener…

Ron DeSantis finally lays out the clearest case of why Donald Trump shouldn't have run, nor be the nominee of the GOP in 2024. Also, is the NFL the worst you've ever seen it and what about Iowa's chances to tell us the direction of the 2024 GOP primary? All that and more on a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday edition of Critical Thinking. Hosted on Acast. Se…

The "most pro-life President" went on NBC's Meet the Press, and amongst other topics, decided that compromise must be on the table for his super pro-life positions. We discuss the calculation Trump apparently is making versus the reality that exists in this country on the topic of abortion. Also, the Senate gets rid of its dress code, for Senators,…

Donald Trump was pressed about his COVID-19 decisions and the decisions of the government under him during an interview with Megyn Kelly and his responses are very telling. Whom does he think is his audience? What does he have to gain and why is he still sticking by his Fauci decisions? Also, we look outside the world of politics to the world of sp…

If you are paying attention to conservative talk on podcasts, TV or even X, then you've likely heard a ton about "living in Romans 1 times." It got Andrew and Pat to thinking — what is Romans 1 really about and do those who use it really understand it? Is it all about the damnation of today's society or something else? We explore that on our World …

On this #TruthOrFiction Tuesday, we wonder if it's not 9/11, but 9/12 that we have forgotten in this country. Also, is New Mexico's governor the most in-tune politician in America...because she knows the lay of the land better than anyone? Finally, Joe Biden deserves the 25th amendment, but will that actually happen? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/…

It's Friday and that means our best and worst takes of the week, including acknowledgement of wrongdoing by Liberty Safe and a reversal of course. Will it matter to its audience or not? Also, Ron DeSantis on firing Fauci and a dad whom let his 10-year-old drive him around as he got drunk off his rear-end. Father of the Year stuff there. Oh and we'r…
