Critical Thinking with Andrew Coppens

Joe Biden told a horrible story, feel asleep and showed off his mental incapacity during a totally disastrous trip to Maui. Also, it's a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday and we talk about the future of elections, Trump & Tucker vs. the GOP Debate and much more.

A recent CBS News/YouGov poll of Trump voters showed that a majority trusted Donald Trump to tell the truth over religious leaders. Can you tell me you're in a cult, while telling me you are? Also, if you've put your life on hold to "exonerate" a man who hasn't done anything to assist you and left most of you hung out to dry while putting your necks on the line for him...what do you call that? We also talk about how Iowa polling results suggest that there's a massive group of people yearning to not vote for Trump, but someone needs to show they are a viable second option. Who will that be?

Donald Trump released a video demanding all GOP candidates drop out of the race to clear his path. Don't talk about the 2020 election because independents might get scared and also community is besting government action on Maui. It's the best and worst takes of the week on this Friday edition of #CriticalThinking.

Jesse Kelly recently tweeted about America's fortunes and decided to tell us that we seem to be telling everyone we want and need a dictator. Is he right? Also, Creepy Biden returns and when will conservatives become less worried about content creation and more worried about the platforms available to them to spread their message?

Donald Trump has been indicted for a 4th time, this time in the state of Georgia. On this #TruthOrFiction Tuesday, we ask if this case is the one that is his largest legal problem. Also, will 3 teams from the Big Ten make the College Football Playoff and what about the inaction of Republicans in the past will make you think that anything will change going forward?

Jonah Goldberg has gone off the conservative rails in the past few years, but on CNN this week he derailed completely — lamenting the fact that the "small donors" of the GOP have demanded their candidates actually adhere to principles over pragmatism. Also, CNN can't imagine why the right hates them, Disney shows you how to trans Minnie Mouse and one song that captures all of what many in America are feeling.

Steve Deace noted that about 60% of Iowa GOP voters don't believe Trump will be convicted or put in prison. Well, on the heels of Ecuadorian political candidate Fernando Villavicencio being assassinated in what looks like a political hit, we ask just how serious do you think the Authoritarians are and how unserious MAGA-forever and America 1st really is. Do they not get what's really going on? Also, the American Association of Pediatrics has announced a review of its 'gender-care' policies. Is that going to be good or bad?

Ron DeSantis announced a massive shakeup to his 2024 presidential campaign, including replacing his campaign manager. To some it's a sign of a failing campaign, but is that true? We also look at Best Buy discriminating in its management hiring practices, a driving lesson to never forget and an episode of COPS gone really bad. It's all on a #WTFWednesday

If you're paying attention to the Team DeSantis vs. Team Trump fight going on on X or elsewhere, you'd think it's a knock-down, drag-out fight for the ages. But, is what's happening online really also playing out in real life? Are Americans really treating each other this way in person? Also, what's the future for Rutgers and Northwestern in the Big Ten and is Joe Biden about to be "Swiftboated" in the 2024 campaign? All that and more on a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday.

The Pac-12 went from living to dead in a matter of hours on Friday and the Big Ten took the blame. Andrew and Pat examine that line of thinking, plus what happened to the U.S. Women's National Team and what's the legacy for this generation of player now that most are moving on? Oh and your kids were never super-spreaders like the government and teachers unions believed them to be.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to lecture the citizens of Chicago on what "mob action" means, meanwhile hundreds of teens roam the city streets and loot, riot and carry guns. Ya, sure, there just "large gatherings" — says the most unserious mayor I've ever seen. Also, we tackle the rest of the best and worst of the week, featuring a simple, yet great take on abortion and John Kerry's climate lies and so much more.

Have you heard of the term black-pilled? Well, if you haven't it means you're cynical, untrusting and see the world through a very dark view. It's an ugly way to live, yet we're seeing the government and actors around it seemingly shoving negativity and cynical stories down our throat every day. So, how do you not fall for the trap? You must walk a path towards a revival of liberty. We discuss that path and the actions that will lead to a life of light, instead of darkness. Also, Ron DeSantis says "you're on" to Gavin Newsom's debate challenge.

Donald Trump wants all of us to know he's our warrior, our fighter and protector of liberty, following another rather dubious-at-best indicetment for conspiracy surrounding the events of January 6, 2021. But, does he understand what's really going on, what's really at stake? Also, we discuss the media's sob-story for the Biden Crime Family and a South African political party advocating for the literal murder of people based on their race. It's all in a WTF Wednesday.

On this Truth or Fiction Tuesday we take a look at all the Joe Biden impeachment talk — will the GOP impeach before or after the start of 2024 and will it cost them in the general election? Also, what about war with Russia...can the latest drone strikes by Ukraine tip the scales of us going to war and what would it do to mask the impeachment talk? Finally, a reason to never go full-vegan. NEVER.

Rand Paul calls out the dangers of impeaching Presidents for everything, because it is dangerous for our society. Also, can't we find men and women of character so that we don't have to go down the impeachment road? Andrew and Pat also take on Ilhan Omar's racist rant on Al Jazeera as well as two sides of the "trans the kids" coin.

There's been a narrative forming around Donald Trump in right-wing media, letting us know that if you took COVID decisions away, Trump was actually a really good President. Well, is that true? We examine what was and wasn't said and done during his 4 years in office.

Hunter Biden's "sweetheart" plea deal collapsed on Wednesday, and the media will have you believe it's about a "diversion" program related to the felony gun charge. Except, shenanigans from the defense attorneys and the prosecutors pulling the rug out from "forever immunity" on any charges ever again actually scuttled the deal. Also, Hilary Clinton wants you to believe MAGA caused the latest heatwave and Donald Trump is attempting one of the grossest campaign moves of all-time against Ron DeSantis. The GOP can not become a party of Bolsheviks vs. Mensheviks, yet that's what Trump is attempting to do here. Finally, Pat ranks the hottest Disney animals of all-time...or something like that.

Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, told Sean Hannity that he intends to open up an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. Will the GOP follow through on that rhetoric? Also, is Kamala Harris dangerous because she's a parrot to the media and what about politically homeless voters? All that and more on today's #TruthOrFiction Tuesday edition of #CriticalThinking

Disney's new Snow White will be a completely different story, totally woke. Andrew and Pat discuss what other classics will the company bastardize next. Also, Jim Breuer comes off the top-rope with the greatest take on the Jason Aldean situation and John Kerry can't get no satisfaction from Xi and China.

New evidence suggests that the FBI may have been running interference for the Joe Biden 2020 campaign, including allowing suppression and censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story, despite its knowledge that it was real and true. Also, we give our best and worst takes of the week.

Sen. Chuck Grassley released the unclassified version of the FBI confidential human source's reporting in to the Biden Crime Family's "alleged" corruption in Ukraine and the level of detail and allegations is truly shocking. Are we witnessing the worst public corruption scandal in American history and will Team GOP do anything about it? Read detailed reporting and amazing questions that need to be answered in The Federalist: https://thefederalist.com/2023/07/20/explosive-fd-1023-exposes-more-biden-bribery-dirt-and-teases-damning-evidence-to-come/ Don't forget about our sponsor at Coffee Brand Coffee: https://coffeebrandcoffee.com/?ref=m597JEC6V_ceI

Dr. Dick Levine wants us to know there's such a thing as "wrong puberty" also the migrant crisis is coming to Andrew's front door and we'll discuss. Finally it's a WTF Wednesday featuring a congresswoman calling the opposite side "terrorists," an ESPN reporter checking off the woke boxes as SEC Media Days and Sleepy Joe Biden makes a return as well.

Donald Trump lost the weekend in the GOP battle of events, but could he also have already won the GOP nomination and we're going through all this for nothing? Also, the military wants us to believe abortion is about the readiness of its fighters and will the Republicans field a stronger overall candidate slate than the Dems in 2024?

The big Family Leader Summit happened on Friday and as Andy is back behind the microphone with Pat, we're going to discuss the biggest moment in the GOP presidential primary season to date. Many saw their candidacy die a quick death, some rose to the occasion and others were meh. Also, did Kamala Harris say the quite part out loud again?
