Podcast appearances and mentions of Andrew Parker

Send us Fan MailMary Smith, a teacher in the Minneapolis school district, and her attorney, Andrew Parker — who helped her get her job back — joined Liz Collin on her podcast. Smith spoke about getting caught up in a perfect storm of cancel culture, woke ideology, hypocrisy, and anti-white racism in the Minneapolis school district back in September of 2025. Smith accurately reported student misconduct, which included the student's use of the N-word. The student's behavior was not addressed by the school district. However, Smith was terminated — despite district policies and state law that prohibit retaliation for reporting student misconduct.Parker explained that he hoped the district would avoid arbitration and reconsider what he called "outrageous discipline for Mary reporting what she witnessed, not reporting anything but what she witnessed, quoting what she witnessed." Parker also explained how Smith was ultimately reinstated with full pay, benefits, and no loss of tenure.Support the show

Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, what lessons have we learned — and what have we forgotten?Andrew Parker welcomes back writer, Army veteran and political thinker Shane Hachey for a deeply personal conversation about 9/11, patriotism, moral relativism and the political transformation that followed one of the most consequential days in modern American history.Hachey was living in New York City and attending Columbia University when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center. At the time, he describes himself as an anti-war, left-wing Army veteran who had voted for Ralph Nader. But as he watched the attacks unfold — and then encountered the reactions of fellow students and intellectuals in the months that followed — his worldview began to change.Drawing from his essay, “9/11 Republicanism,” Hachey explains how the moral relativism he encountered after the attacks forced him to reconsider his political assumptions and ultimately led him to identify as what was once called a “9/11 Republican.”Andrew and Shane examine the difference between traditional liberalism and today's progressive movement, patriotism and criticism of America, the rise of socialism, radical Islam, political ideology and the importance of being willing to challenge your own beliefs when facts and better arguments demand it.They also consider a question that extends far beyond politics: Are we still willing to distinguish between right and wrong — or has moral relativism made even that increasingly difficult?It's a candid discussion about September 11, the political realignment it produced for a generation of Americans and why its lessons remain relevant 25 years later.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

What do Denali, Lake Calhoun, military bases and Israel have in common?A LinkedIn post about the renaming of American landmarks sparked an unexpected exchange between Andrew Parker and a longtime liberal friend — and ultimately a much bigger conversation about history, indigenous identity and political consistency.In Episode 504 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew examines the controversy surrounding the renaming of historic landmarks, geographic locations and military installations under both Republican and Democratic administrations. From Mount McKinley becoming Denali to Minnesota's Lake Calhoun becoming Bde Maka Ska, he considers why names change, whose history society chooses to recognize and why those decisions can become so politically charged.But Andrew takes the discussion one step further.If recognizing indigenous peoples and their historic connections to ancestral lands matters, he asks, why does that principle seemingly disappear in much of the political debate surrounding Jews and Israel?Andrew argues that the Jewish people's historical and archaeological connection to the land of Israel stretches back thousands of years and challenges those who recognize indigenous claims elsewhere while rejecting Jewish indigeneity in Israel, Judea and Samaria.It's an episode about more than names. It's about history, political hypocrisy, competing narratives and whether the principles we defend are being applied consistently.And, appropriately enough, it all begins with an old-fashioned Boston pencil sharpener and a reminder that sometimes it pays to get back to the fundamentals.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

America was built on freedom of religion, freedom of speech and constitutional protections that distinguish it from much of the world. But what happens when those very freedoms are used by extremist movements that reject the principles on which the country was founded?In Episode 503 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew examines the threat posed by radical Islamic extremism and asks a difficult question: Has America's commitment to tolerance made it reluctant to confront ideologies that seek to undermine Western democratic values?Andrew distinguishes between the world's vast population of peaceful Muslims and the extremist organizations and movements he argues must be confronted. From ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood to the growing influence of foreign money and ideology within American institutions, he examines what he sees as a much larger battle over America's constitutional principles.The episode turns particular attention to American higher education and Northwestern University's relationship with Qatar. Andrew discusses claims surrounding hundreds of millions of dollars in Qatari funding, allegations of antisemitism on campus and concerns about the influence foreign governments and organizations may have on what American students are being taught.At the center of the discussion is a fundamental question: How does a free society defend freedom without allowing its own principles to be used against it?Andrew argues that protecting America's constitutional republic requires recognizing the difference between protecting individual religious liberty and ignoring extremist ideology—and he challenges peaceful Muslims to take a greater role in confronting radicalism within their own communities.Listen to Episode 503 of The Andrew Parker Show for Andrew's perspective on radical Islam, antisemitism, foreign influence in American universities and the responsibility of Americans to defend the constitutional principles that make the country free.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

As Minnesota and the nation head toward another consequential election, The Andrew Parker Show revisits an episode whose subject matter has only become more relevant.Originally aired as Episode 451, “From Good Government to Ground Zero for National News: How Progressives Have Destroyed Minnesota,” Andrew examines what he sees as Minnesota's transformation from a state once nationally recognized for good government into a recurring center of political controversy, unrest and national headlines.From public safety and the rule of law to law enforcement, immigration, political leadership and national security, Andrew asks a fundamental question voters should consider as they prepare to return to the ballot box: What kind of society do we want to live in?He examines the role and responsibility of government to protect its citizens, the consequences of allowing politics to influence law enforcement, and what happens when elected officials prioritize political considerations over public safety and security.The discussion extends beyond Minnesota to immigration and ICE enforcement, Israel, Iran and national security — connecting decisions made by political leaders to their real-world consequences.With the upcoming elections putting many of these issues — and the leaders responsible for addressing them — back before voters, this is a conversation worth hearing again.In this Best Of edition of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew makes the case for putting public safety, security and the rule of law ahead of partisan politics, regardless of which party holds power.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

As Minnesota and the nation move closer to another consequential election, The Andrew Parker Show continues its Best Of series with Part II of a conversation whose issues have only become more relevant.Originally aired as Episode 452, “From Good Government to Ground Zero for National News: How Progressives Have Destroyed Minnesota, PART II,” Andrew continues his examination of Minnesota's place at the center of a national debate over immigration, law enforcement, public safety, political leadership and the rule of law.At the heart of the episode is a fundamental principle of American democracy: elections have consequences.Andrew argues that Americans can strongly disagree with immigration policy, law enforcement priorities and the decisions of elected officials. But in a democratic society, those disagreements should ultimately be resolved at the ballot box and through the legislative process — not by deciding which laws should be followed, interfering with law enforcement or allowing political unrest to descend into violence.Andrew examines the role of federal law enforcement and ICE, the responsibility of state and local leaders, the difference between peaceful protest and unlawful interference, and the real-world consequences of illegal immigration.The conversation then moves beyond Minnesota and America's borders to Iran, Israel and U.S. foreign policy, as Andrew considers what strength, deterrence and decisive leadership can mean for national and global security.With voters preparing to make important choices in the upcoming elections, Part II raises another timely question: When we disagree with the direction of government, how should change happen in a democratic society?In this Best Of edition of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew makes the case that the answer lies in elections, the democratic process and the rule of law.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

Episode 499 of The Andrew Parker Show marks a milestone: 10 years of Andrew Parker behind the microphone on radio and podcast.In this episode, Andrew tackles a question that has become increasingly difficult to ignore: Why does such a small percentage of the world's population command such disproportionate attention, criticism and hostility?Andrew examines the historical connection between the Jewish people and the land of Israel, challenges the characterization of Israel as a colonial power, and explores what he sees as a dramatic political shift in the United States—particularly the Democratic Party's changing relationship with Israel.He also discusses the rise of antisemitism, the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America, radical Islamism, and the political alliances he believes are reshaping attitudes toward Israel and the Jewish people. At the center of the conversation is a larger question about Western values, moral clarity and whether political expediency is allowing dangerous ideas to go unchallenged.Why has bipartisan support for Israel eroded? When does criticism of Israel cross into antisemitism? And what explains the extraordinary scrutiny directed at the world's only Jewish state?Andrew makes his case and invites you to make yours.Subscribe and join the conversation at TheAndrewParkerShow.com. Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

Episode 500 of The Andrew Parker Show marks two milestones: the 500th episode of the podcast and the 50th anniversary of one of the most consequential moments in modern American political history.On August 19, 1976, Ronald Reagan narrowly lost the Republican presidential nomination to Gerald Ford. Then, unexpectedly called to the convention stage with nothing prepared, Reagan delivered a remarkable six-minute speech centered not on his defeat, but on America's future.His question was profound: When future generations look back, will they say we recognized the threats to freedom and met the moment?Fifty years later, Andrew Parker revisits Reagan's message and asks whether America faces a similar test today. From the threat of a nuclear Iran and instability in the Middle East to isolationism, socialism, communism, antisemitism and America's role as a leader in the world, Andrew argues that Reagan's warning remains strikingly relevant.He also considers one of history's great “what ifs”: What if Reagan had defeated Ford in 1976, gone on to defeat Jimmy Carter and entered the White House four years earlier? Could the Iranian Revolution, the hostage crisis and decades of instability in the Middle East have unfolded differently?For Episode 500, Andrew looks back 50 years to ask a question about the future: Are we meeting the moment?There is no substitute for victory.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

In Episode 498 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker takes on what he argues is a deeply misleading narrative surrounding Israel, Gaza, and accusations of genocide — and examines how that narrative is being amplified by institutions many Americans consider authoritative.At the center of the episode is a recent Star Tribune article about the University of Minnesota's $250,000 settlement with Israeli-American historian Raz Segal after the University rescinded its offer for him to lead its Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Segal has described Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide, and Andrew challenges both that characterization and the way the Star Tribune presented the controversy. Andrew also examines the newspaper's reliance on the United Nations as an authority on Israel, reviewing what he describes as a decades-long pattern of disproportionate UN resolutions targeting the Jewish state. He argues that readers deserve far more context when UN commissions, casualty figures, and conclusions about Israel are presented as authoritative. The episode goes deeper into the genocide accusation itself: What does genocide mean under international law? Does Israel's military campaign against Hamas meet that definition? What role do civilian casualties, humanitarian aid, Hamas's tactics, and the realities of urban warfare play in answering that question? Andrew lays out five arguments for why he believes the genocide charge does not withstand scrutiny. Finally, Andrew closes with a different perspective from the Arab world, sharing the story and message behind The Arab Case for Israel and its author's journey from accepting what he had been taught about Israel to questioning those assumptions for himself. When does reporting cross the line from presenting facts to reinforcing a narrative? And how can readers distinguish between credible evidence, institutional authority, and repetition?Listen now to Episode 498 of The Andrew Parker Show.Smart, plain talk.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

In Episode 497 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew examines what he believes could be a historic turning point in the Middle East: the possibility of dismantling Iran's Islamist regime and replacing an axis of terror with what he calls an “axis of peace.”What could a Middle East without Iranian support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis look like? Andrew considers the potential for new relationships among Israel, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and, eventually, a free Iran — opening the door to greater regional stability, economic cooperation and, perhaps, lasting peace.But Andrew argues that realizing that possibility will require decisive American leadership. He questions President Donald Trump's current approach to Iran and warns against trusting a regime he believes has repeatedly demonstrated that it has no intention of honoring lasting agreements.The episode then turns to Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the growing hostility Andrew sees toward Israel and Jews in American politics. Drawing from a recent essay by Rabbi Pinchas Allouche, Andrew discusses the importance of confronting antisemitism and anti-Israel rhetoric with moral clarity, Jewish pride, faith, goodness and resolve.Can the Middle East move from decades of terrorism and conflict toward an entirely different future?

Michigan could become ground zero for a political shift Andrew Parker has been warning about for years.In Episode 496 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew examines Abdul El-Sayed's U.S. Senate candidacy, the Democratic Party's evolving relationship with Israel, and what he sees as the growing influence of anti-Israel and Islamist politics within the party.Andrew argues that the stakes extend far beyond one Senate race. With Republican Mike Rogers potentially facing El-Sayed in November, he asks whether Michigan's Jewish voters could determine the outcome — and whether lifelong Democrats will reconsider their political loyalties when support for Israel and concerns about antisemitism are on the line.He also examines why the absence of Donald Trump from the ballot could affect Republican turnout, the enthusiasm driving the progressive left, and why he believes Michigan may offer an important preview of where American politics is headed.Is this simply another closely contested Senate race, or a warning about a much larger political transformation?Politics.

Andrew Parker marks Episode 495—and nearly ten years behind the microphone—with a warning about what he sees as a watershed moment in American politics.Beginning with the rule of law, immigration enforcement and the growing resistance to ICE, Andrew challenges the argument that enforcing existing federal immigration laws constitutes an attack on democracy. If Americans disagree with the law, he argues, the answer lies in the democratic process—not in obstructing its enforcement.From there, Andrew turns to a larger and more consequential concern: the changing ideological makeup of the Democratic Party and the growing influence of socialist, Islamist, anti-Israel and antisemitic voices within it.Recent elections, he argues, signal that a political movement once dismissed as being on the fringe has crossed an important threshold. Andrew examines what that shift could mean for Jewish Americans, the U.S.-Israel relationship, constitutional government and the future direction of the country.“The dam has broken,” Andrew says. The question now is what Americans who disagree with that direction are prepared to do about it.Smart. Plain. Talk.

Is American politics undergoing a fundamental realignment?In Episode 494 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew welcomes Mark Halperin, Editor-in-Chief of 2WAY, for a wide-ranging conversation about Israel, Iran, the Democratic Party, Donald Trump, the upcoming midterm elections, and the rapidly changing American media landscape.Andrew and Mark examine the dramatic shift in U.S. attitudes toward Israel since October 7 and what the growing divide over Israel could mean for the future of the Democratic Party. They discuss AIPAC's changing political influence, the reluctance of prominent Democratic leaders to challenge increasingly anti-Israel voices within the party, Benjamin Netanyahu's political future, and whether a new Israeli prime minister could reset the U.S.-Israel relationship.The conversation then turns to President Trump's handling of the Iran war. Halperin assesses what the United States has accomplished, where the strategy has fallen short, and whether the administration risks becoming caught in a geopolitical and political quagmire.They also look ahead to the midterm elections, where Halperin sees an unusually unpredictable political environment, before turning to the future of journalism and the decline of traditional media.Halperin explains why he believes the next generation of successful media will combine independent voices, serious reporting, open debate, and genuine engagement with audiences — the philosophy behind 2WAY.Politics.

When does military action become a moral necessity rather than a political choice?In Episode 492 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker examines one of today's most controversial questions: when, if ever, is war justified. Drawing on historical examples ranging from World War II to today's conflicts in the Middle East, Andrew discusses accusations of "warmongering," America's relationship with Israel, military deterrence, and whether lasting peace sometimes requires the willingness to fight. He also examines public perception of Israel following October 7, the role of media narratives, congressional efforts to reduce U.S. aid to Israel, and why he believes support for America's closest ally has shifted so dramatically.The episode concludes with Andrew's prediction that accusations historically directed toward Israel will increasingly be applied to the United States itself in the years ahead.Whether you agree or disagree, this episode challenges listeners to examine the difficult intersection of history, diplomacy, national security, and moral responsibility.Listen now, be sure to subscribe, and never miss an episode.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved.

For decades, history has shaped the Middle East. Today, competing narratives are shaping how the world understands it.In Episode 484 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew welcomes back Steve Hunegs, Executive Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, for a wide-ranging discussion on Israel, antisemitism, democracy, and the growing challenge of disinformation.Drawing from historical documents, newspaper headlines, and firsthand research, Hunegs examines the events surrounding Israel's founding in 1948, the United Nations partition plan, the Arab-Israeli war, and how many of the narratives dominating today's headlines echo misconceptions that have persisted for generations.Andrew and Steve also discuss the aftermath of October 7, the rise of antisemitism across the political spectrum, the influence of social media on public discourse, Iran and its regional proxies, the future of Israel's security, and why preserving historical truth is essential to the survival of democratic societies.This thoughtful and timely conversation explores the difference between fact and fiction, the importance of historical memory, and the responsibility we all share in defending truth in the public square.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

In Episode 485 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker examines the escalating tensions surrounding Iran and argues that the world is at a pivotal moment in history.Andrew contends that the Iranian people have endured decades of oppression under the Islamic Republic and that the current geopolitical landscape presents a rare opportunity to challenge one of the world's most influential state sponsors of terrorism.

Is peace with Iran even possible — or is the West clinging to a dangerous illusion?In this episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker breaks down the fundamental misunderstanding shaping U.S. foreign policy: the belief that negotiation can resolve every conflict. Drawing on history, ideology, and current geopolitical realities, he argues that Iran's ruling regime is not operating within traditional diplomatic frameworks — but rather a deeply rooted, long-term ideological mission that rejects true capitulation.From the failures of past agreements to the strategic patience of the Iranian regime, Parker explores why temporary deals may only delay a larger conflict. He contrasts this with historical examples like the Cold War and World War II, questioning whether ideology can be contained — or must be confronted directly.The episode also examines the role of Western allies, media influence, and internal political division, and makes a strong case for why strength — not negotiation — may ultimately determine the outcome.This is a direct, unfiltered look at one of the most pressing global issues today — and what it could mean for the future of the United States, Israel, and the world.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved.

In this episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker examines the escalating conflict with Iran and the preemptive military action taken by the United States and Israel to stop the Iranian regime's decades-long pursuit of nuclear weapons and regional dominance.For more than 30 years, Iran has advanced its nuclear ambitions while building a powerful ballistic missile program and funding proxy forces across the Middle East. Successive U.S. administrations warned of the threat but ultimately failed to halt Iran's march toward nuclear capability.Andrew breaks down why the current conflict is fundamentally different from past Middle East wars. Rather than creating an endless war, he argues that confronting the Iranian regime now may be the only path to ending decades of instability fueled by Iran and its proxies.He also explores the broader geopolitical consequences, including the impact on Russia's war in Ukraine, Iran's role in supplying drones to Russia, and the implications for China, global energy markets, and American foreign policy.Drawing on his recent visit to Israel, Andrew shares firsthand perspective from communities along the Lebanese border, where Hezbollah's massive rocket arsenal—built in violation of international agreements—continues to threaten Israeli civilians.Could dismantling Iran's military ambitions reshape the Middle East and open the door to lasting peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors?
