The Andrew Cooperrider Show

Beshear's podcast is doing awful. He can't even break 2,000 video views with guest like Coach Calipari. That leads to the question, what is Beshear's sponsors exactly paying for?Auditor Ball sues Beshear over failure to implement new laws.Cameron gets charged with an ethic violation from his 2023 campaign. The timing seems odd and points to political motivations.

What is Cameron's thoughts on McConnell's political philosophy, and will he be a clean break from McConnell or more of the same? How does Cameron respond to the people who think he mishandled the Breonna Taylor incident?What did Cameron learn from the Governor's race?We cover these and many other topics in today's show.

Beshear's quest for President is not going so well as he keeps running into the "nobody really cares" potholes in the road. Barr makes some mistakes in his early start for Senate. Scott Jennings is a rumored 3rd candidate.Why can't we get away from Mitch McConnell in Kentucky?

What exactly is our Kentucky Legislature thinking when it hands out millions to private companies? What is going on when great bills fail, and bad bills pass? What is the Kentucky Legislature's economic philosophy?I sit down with Rep. Steve Doan and discuss this past Legislative Session.

I endured tens of minutes of Andy Beshear's first podcast episode, and it is pretty clear he has made a show that no one will actually find entertaining.A four year old was handing out dollar bills to drag dancers at a publicly funded drag show in Kentucky.Nate Morris, Andy Barr, and Daniel Cameron all have senate race news surrounding Trump as the question of who (if anyone) will Trump support in the upcoming senate election.

Beshear has decided that the Legislature must give the Beshear Admin a made up amount of money per new bill passed or else Beshear possibly won't follow the new laws. It's like a second veto that takes a bribe to overcome.Pamela Stevenson says there won't be a competitive Democrat Primary for the Senate. If she's right, and Stevenson is the best Dems in KY have, then the real race for the next Senator will be in the Republican Primary.

Planned Parenthood hands out explicit coloring books to kids. Is UK asking what animal someone is? Beshear Vetoes some bills. This episode was recorded this morning. Planned Parenthood has since come out and admitted to giving out the books, despite prior statement to the contrary.

Beshear Vetoes a bill that stops taxpayers funding the gender transition services, hormones, and surgeries for 10,000 - 15,000 Kentuckians that the Beshear Admin says is currently receiving those services and using Medicaid to pay for them. The Media has been heavily pushing a narrative on Matt Bevin when it comes to the treatment of his son Jonah Bevin, but there is more going on with that story. They are hoping you don't read the full articles and ask questions like "What should a parent do in this situation?"

Local media shows it's bias when it comes to how it covers incidents regarding Christian and anti Christian beliefs in our schools. Is Beshear exchanging favors to give multi million dollar tax breaks to green energy projects while destroy Kentucky's coal industry? As the Legislature wraps up we see some last minute bills and last minute votes targeting small businesses, large tax break handouts, and home schoolers that leaves one wondering if the Republican Legislature is aware that they are supposed to at least pretend to be conservative.

Can we still prosecute the Bidens for their influence peddling?How much was the Federal Government running cover for the scheme?How is mainstream conservative media tied into the Deep State?What was going on behind the scenes that caused the issues between McCarthy and some members of the Republican caucus? Will Comer run for Senate or for Governor?

KY Dept for Public Health shells out over $500k fir a middle school creative writing class for only "black or brown" girls. Some horrible bills are moving through our Legislature including on that will have a huge effect on deer hunting in Kentucky.

Your calls have mattered, HB399 (felony for protesting too loudly at the Capitol) and HB96 (back door red flag law) have had some positive developments if you want to see those bills defeated. KY Democrats demonstrate their contempt for the Constitution when it comes to religious freedom and limiting the power of the Governor. The Legislature wants KY to hand out more than $100,000,000 a year in taxpayer incentives and expenditures to attract in the movie business; is it worth it?

I cover two bad bills, HB399 and HB 96, and why we need to stop them. You can call 1-800-372-7181 to leave a message for your Representative.

Daniel Cameron and Andy Barr trade jabs as McConnell announces he isn't running again. I also go over how the playing field may shift if Massie decides to run for the Senate. Digging through government contracts I started noticing millions being spent on HIV. I take a hard look at how much we are spending. KY Sen. Berg goes on another unhinged rant that is just wasting everyone's time.

I made a post on social media that ruffled some feathers. I make the case of why we should pass HB 254. Finally, JCPS had another case of an elementary school kid bringing THC gummies to school.

The Beshear Administration is asked some pretty pointed questions from legislators regarding the spending of over $6 million dollars in order to turn an existing building into 18 apartments in Jackson, KY. I also dig into how localities buying up property development rights while also spending tax funds to drive up the population in their towns creates an endless cycle of increased home costs in Kentucky.

The Scott County Attorney proves I was right while trying to say I was wrong. Beshear spending big money on an extravagant trip. TI-82 calculator training raises a few questions. Communists groups in KY are becoming more vocal.

Beshear was on a call with Chuck Schumer when he said that Americans needed to suffer in order to learn not to vote for someone like Trump again. What did Beshear mean by that? I'll take a look at his track record during that last Trump Administration when it came to issues that Democrats blamed Trump for. Scott County Jail is changing it's policy in regards to illegal immigrants. Their old policy is a perfect example of how Leftist within professional organizations and government can shape policy even when not holding an elected office. Finally, I dig through a few more bills that are being considered this legislative session in Frankfort.

Republican's lose a seat in a special election in Iowa, I go over what Kentucky Republicans can learn from that. Amy McGrath goes full TDS with an X post.

A group of students have decided to sue Kentucky over their lack of quality education, and they do have some points. Rep. Josh Calloway proposes a bill to undo Beshear's EO on "Conversion Therapy", and to put the 10 Commandments in the classroom. Democrat's propose bills on hate crimes, minimum wage, and free tampons.

Blue Oval is facing a union vote, and Beshear has broken his silence on the matter. FCPS says "it's not me it's you" on why they just now were able to get students back to school. Republicans put forward a bill to grant exemptions on the abortion ban.

A Democrat Representative sponsors bill to ban "Ghost Jobs". I'll explain why this is stupid. I will also go over two pieces of good legislation sponsored by Representative Savannah Maddox.

I ask the important question "when are we going to get mail again?". Republican Leadership claims a tax cut is unconstitutional, are they right? Kim Banta proposes new laws regulating balloons and guns.

The Kentucky Legislative Session has started. I give a rundown on a few bills that are being considered including bills that will cut the income tax, regulate automatic license plate readers, and allow full fledged casinos in Kentucky.

Vapes are being outlawed while medical marijuana is beginning to be sold in Kentucky. I'll discuss how this odd contradiction has happened.
