Critical Thinking with Andrew Coppens: Recent Episodes
Andrew Coppens
Critically Thinking our way through the news and views of the day. Left, Right, Center, our goal is to focus on facts and truth as our guide through the insanity.
Joe Biden gave one of the strangest and most senile State of the Union addresses last night. Also, we got a rising star in the form of Alabama Senator Katie Britt to deliver the GOP response. Oh, and Oregon recriminalized low-level drug use this week, but what if the data and reality don't support the legislation? What if the folks like Matt Walsh are dead-wrong about what the data says about this issue? Can it be true that legalizing drugs is bad and that criminalizing drug use is also bad?

On an otherwise sleepy "Super Tuesday" the voters in multiple RINO-led districts stood up for school choice and their voices to be heard. Is that a sign of hope in the GOP? Also, the Chicago Teachers Union wants a $50 billion union contract and MSNBC laughs at those who think immigration is a big deal in Virginia. All on a #WTFWednesday edition of Critical Thinking.

Justin Trudeua says the quiet part out loud? Wishing that Russia wins over Ukraine? Also, Marry Poppins is now racist and we get an inside-the-park home run for the ages in a Spring Training Game. Oh, and Federalist Papers No. 16 goes under the microscope on today's Critical Thinking.

Polling in seven swing states favors Trump over Biden and now MAGA Forever tells us we have to believe in the polls. Bold strategy...Also, I wonder about DEI being bad for your health outcomes if you don't play ball and what about the COVID Crazies and their unwillingness to admit they were wrong about kids and schooling? It all comes your way on a #TruthOrFictionTuesday.

Google's new AI, "Gemini" was exposed for its anti-White racism late last week and it only continued to get worse as its leftist bias was put on full display all over X this weekend. Yet, will anyone do anything about it? Like, I don't know, stop using gmail or calendar or Google Docs? Probably not and Google knows it.
Also, the AP decides to hide the illegal status of an alleged murderer...oh and we put The Federalist Papers No. 14 under the microscope as well.

A Politico reporter went on MSNBC to continue her crusade against "Christian Nationalism" because they want to establish a THEOCRACY, telling the audience that our rights don't come from God, but do come from government. That and Justin Trudeau wants a "common set of facts" to be determined for us all to work from. How about no? That and three amazing takes this week, including one from Joe Biden!

After an FBI informant is charged with lying to the FBI and trying to play both Russia and the United States against each other, the left says the case against Joe Biden and the Biden Crime Family should be closed. Oh really? I examine their claim. Also, Joe Biden gets the media to play along with his charade of a "student loan debt cancellation" game. Finally, The Federalist Papers No. 13 goes under the microscope.

In one of the most idiotic, yet telling, stories of just how far the tentacles of the Spirit of the Age have gone in to our society...there was a drag funeral performed at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC — and the priest sat there and did nothing. The Church since has performed a mass of reparations to God for offending him. In a totally unrelated story, a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence was arrested on charges of child sexual exploitation and porn. Ewww. In France, they want the ability to jail you for speaking up against the COVID-19 vaccine "and other reasonable" medical things. Good times on a #WTFWednesday.

Have we learned nothing from history..ancient or otherwise? Apparently not, as some in congress want to give illegals the ability to earn citizenship by becoming our fighting force. Hello, late Roman Empire, anyone? Also, is Abraham Lincoln the worst president in American history? Oh and Federalist No. 11 is under the microscope too.

Fani Willis and Nathan Wade had to testify in a hearing to dismiss them from the case against Donald Trump in Georgia and boy, oh-boy, did it not go as well as they thought it would in their heads or when they were on the stand. Willis admitted to felonies, looked like an unhinged and deranged witness at times and even wore her dress on backwards somehow. Also, I talk about the rest of the best and worst takes of the week and I examine Federalist Paper No. 10 in our continuing study of this important work in American civic life.

The worst ad during the Super Bowl this past weekend was easily the blasphemous "He Gets Us" ads. Well, there was a challenge made to do it better, if you think you can, and boy did someone ever up the ante. I discuss the ad centered on the message or repentance just in the knick of time for the Lenten season. Also, a man of action takes down a thug who decided to settle some gang beef with a gun during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl party. Also, I look at Federalist No. 9 and its message that history already tells us how loose confederacies end — and it ain't good.

Speaker Mike Johnson kept a promise and got DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas impeached on the 2nd try. So, now what? What does it even mean? Why does it even matter, or does it even matter? Also, I've got "screw the constitution" takes, Biden's totally with it takes and "how to squat in Portland" videos for you on this #WTFWednesday edition of Critical Thinking.

After pulling an all-nighter, because this is the "most important vote of all-time in the Senate," Team GOP gave the dems a win on funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, while nothing to actual AMERICAN border security. Because of course. Also, what about being willing to pay a price to stay free? Federalist Papers No. 8 gets studied as well on this #TruthOrFiction Tuesday!

Hawaii's Supreme Court shredded the constitution in a ruling on a 2nd amendment case. If you don't believe we are not sharing the same country, I don't know what else will convince you. Also, thoughts on the Super Bowl, Hamas tunneling under a U.N. aide building and Federalist Papers. No. 7!

The Special Counsel report on the Joe Biden Classified Documents case is out and it paints a bleak picture of Joe Biden's mental capacity. In the aftermath, the media took the gloves off. What does it all tell us and did the special counsel get it right in not recommending any charges? Also, I react to Biden's reaction to the report and the media. Finally, Federalist Paper No. 6 goes under the microscope on this edition of Critical Thinking!

Speaker Mike Johnson has vowed to bring up, and pass, Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, but will that solve anything? If so, do it. If not, what are you even doing? I also look at the results of D.C.'s pilot "economic mobility" program, and shocking — it was an epic failure. What's not an epic fail? How about a team of youngsters unraveling the mystery of 2,000-year-old Pompeiian scrolls? The Federalist Papers study continues with Federalist Paper No. 5 as well.

Ronna McDaniel is stepping down as RNC Chair after the South Carolina primary, but the news on who could replace her might make things worse. Also, an OnlyFans mom is upset that her kids Christian School would have an issue with her promoting her site on school grounds. Oh and you and I are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to create an app that helps dudes who want to be chicks, sound more like chicks. Only on a #WTFWednesday could this happen here on Critical Thinking.

Donald Trump's appeal on grounds of Presidential Immunity was denied by the D.C. appellate court on Tuesday morning. Least shocking news ever, but did the court get it right and where does Trump go from there? Also, the House tells the Senate GOP that their "deal" struck on immigration and foreign military aid is DOA — showing just how dumb and serious they are taking the crisis on the Southern Border. Oh, and we continue to read the Federalist Papers, with No. 3 on the docket today.

Nikki Haley made an appearance in the opening segment of Saturday Night Live. She not only was overshadowed by a medicore Trump impression, but looked and sounded like a robot — why must Team GOP always fall for the trap of trying to be a hip celebrity? WHY? Also, we continue our exploration of The Federalist Papers, with Federalist Paper No. 2, and I continue to wonder why so many on the right, who want to take Texas' side in the battle against the Feds at the Southern Border continue to quote them.

Elon Musk was set to hit on a 12% of company-value stock option package at Tesla. Then came a Biden-tied judge in Delaware to literally snatch away potentially $55 billion in wealth from Musk. Totes not politically motivated or anything! Also, Disney loses bigly in case against Ron DeSantis and Florida.
Today also begins our in-depth look at The Federalist Papers, starting from the beginning with Federalist Paper No. 1, written by Alexander Hamilton.

The House Committee on Homeland Security has recommended two impeachment charges against DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. I'm curious if this will bring any accountability for the illegal asylum crisis at our Southern Border or not? Also, it's a #WTFWednesday where "The Squad" has a very bad week and the White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean Pierre, can't even put together a sentence in memorial to three fallen soldiers in the Middle East.

The United States and Iran continue a proxy war, but how will each side respond as things continue to escalate? There are no good answers. Also, will the GOP fall for the race trap once again in 2024 and is this year's Super Bowl sponsored by the Spirit of the Age, or what?

Ever wonder how the allegedly poor and destitute refugee manages to make it over an ocean (or two) and then crosses two more continents to get here? Well, today I bring you on some of that journey, expose the organizations who are making it all happen and selling these people on the lie of how asylum works here in America. But, you're the ones dealing with it all — as all but one congressional district has been sent illegal asylum seekers from the wonder NGO's at the border. What's happening should disgust all of us, because these people are being used as political pawns and discarded by allegedly religious organizations...oh and the government has helped the wonderful Mexican cartels traffic these folks to our border too. It's all gross, oh so gross.

Educational freedom is one of the pillars of this show in 2024 and coming back to discuss just that here in the state of Illinois is Mailee Smith of Illinois Policy. What's up with the future of the now-dead Invest in Kids Act and educational freedom in the state. Also, how have unions affected that and so much more in the state and locally in Chicago as well. If this is here, it's coming to a locality or state near you soon too.

The Missouri senate Pro Tem throws a temper tantrum over the GOP's Freedom Caucus holding up gubernatorial appointments, you know, because GOP hating its base is so on brand. Also, Michigan's governor introduces us to Professor Potato, while Ronna McDaniel says Nikki Haley needs to drop out of the GOP race after getting crushed by Donald Trump despite the left's best efforts to prop her up. Oh, and what if I told you Arizona politics were corrupt? Would you believe me? Well, Kari Lake has the goods on the corruption.

Here on a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday I'm talking about the SCOTUS giving the Biden admin permission to destroy the fencing Texas put up. Apparently we're just supposed to accept anything and everything they say. That's it. Finished. Or NOT? Also, is this Joe Biden's election to lose and will we see anyone care enough to vote? Oh, and MSNBC proves why need to stop with the "expert class" ruling us once and for all.

Ron DeSantis suspended his 2024 presidential campaign over the weekend and endorsed Donald Trump for president, virtually clearing the field for Trump. But, for some, that wasn't good enough. Also, MAGA Forever got to already laying the groundwork for why they'd take an 'L' in November. Smooth strategy there. Oh, and Jerry Nadler accidentally promotes family values while still managing to be an awful racist at the same time. I'll explain.

Argentinian President Javier Milei went to Davos and delivered a scathing rebuke of the WEF right to their face and it was awesome. Also, we've got some terrible takes from the worlds of gender and racial ideology and what in the world is going on in Dick Morris' life?

It's a #WTFWednesday on Critical Thinking and we're talking about the insanity of what's happening in Davos at the WEF this week. Also, NHL fans go nuts on me for suggesting that games that are more than 30-days old on ESPN+ have no value to ESPN and shouldn't remain on the streaming service, a decision ESPN made this week. Oh and Jim Harbaugh has two of the most insane demands in a college coaching contract I've ever seen.

Donald Trump won by a wide margin in the firs-in-the-nation Iowa Caucus on Monday night. Just how big of a win was it historically speaking? What does it tell us about the future of the GOP race and general election in 2024? Also, will endorsing Trump be a good or bad thing for those that do it and what about Nikki Haley's thought that this is a two-person race between Trump and her? All that on a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday!

Iowa kicks off the 2024 GOP Primary race with its caucus tonight. What to make of the process, what are real good data sets telling us and I've got predictions. Also, the Biden Crime Family is up to its usual crime family tactics — buying votes and trying to get away with crimes. Also, Illinois unions want access to your kids for a full week of "education" about the workforce. Oh, and my Packers won in the playoffs!!!

Liberty's Last Stand is the theme of the show here in 2024. Today, Andrew is joined by Auron MacIntyre of The Blaze and host of the Auron MacIntyre Show to talk about liberty and a need for the right to recognize it's time for a new political formula if liberty can even be saved.

TikTok is bad, because China is bad and it manipulates its own people and now the hearts and minds of millions of American tweens and teens and even grannys. But, a recent study that many on Capital Hill and elsewhere are using to gin up further calls for bans on the app just don't hold up under scrutiny. I go in-depth on more garbage data in, garbage data out. Also, this past weekend marked another year of the left going insane over J6, including President Joe Biden and Michigan won, but are we celebrating cheating by their victory in the College Football Playoff championship game?

Ron DeSantis did something not seen from a real GOP presidential candidate in almost a decade — talk about a flat tax and abolishing the IRS. FOR REAL. Also, I give you the rest of my best and worst takes of the week, featuring the likes of Hannah Cox, Ibram X Kendi, Nikki Haley and Todd Erzen.

Nikki Haley wants you to believe that calling illegal immigrants criminals is the real problem for the GOP. Also, what about the purity of college athletics and what about the Epstein list of names...well, it's a Myth Busting Thursday here on Critical Thinking.

What is the theme of the program for 2024? This is something I've been doing for the past few years and this year's theme is "Liberty's Last Stand." What does it mean and how can we bring light to what seems to be a very dark time? Also, we talk about Nikki Haley buying up ad's in major TV markets — why? I've got a theory and it's something out of the Dems playbook from 2020. Also, we talk Claudine Gay "resigning" as President of Harvard and the leftist media freak-out. Also, the use of AI and machine learning could change the face of political polling forever...maybe?

It's prediction time...what's going to happen in 2024? I've got some thoughts. Also, Brandon Johnson invokes Jefferson Davis when talking about Greg Abbott, there's fat scholarship that tells you all the leftist talking points apply to being fat and Mike DeWine gives the most disgusting answer to why he vetoed a ban on trans surgeries for minors. All of that and more happened while we were away.

Colorado's Supreme Court gave the O.K. to kicking Donald Trump off the state ballot in 2024, in a not-so-shocking bit of news to those of us paying attention. But, I'm still left with questions about whether MAGA Forever gets it and if they do, what's the plan for dealing with their favored candidate being lawfaired and constituioned out of the 2024 election.
Also, Rashard Mendenhall goes full racist or head trauma in calling out white reporters and wanting all-black vs. all-white Pro Bowl. Oh, and we also see Chicago attempt to say "no more" to migrant busing with new ordinances, fines and amendments. Bus drivers don't care. All on a #WTFWednesday for you.

The Elf on the Shelf is the worst and it needs to get off my Facebook feed. Also, are Trump's lawyers the last hope to save the 2024 election and I've learned something a bit disturbing and awesome about the 12 Days of Christmas song that many likely don't or shouldn't want to know. Yes, it's a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday on the show! The final one of 2023 as well.

A new polling of Palestinians by Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research gave us our first real glimpse at what the people in the Gaza Strip and West Bank believe about Hamas, Israel and all things war.

Harvard's President, Dr. Claudine Gay, was accused of large swaths of plagiarism by intrepid reporters over the weekend. It left Harvard with a choice — academic integrity or DEI. It chose and I discuss. Also, we have a choice in our culture and society writ large, either Vox Populi, Vox Dei or Restoring Liberty. Will we chose correctly?
It's also a WTF Wednesday and we watch the idiots at work, SNL managing to turn the good in to the evil and Dana White begging you to stop boycotting Bud Light.

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has gone for the gusto, bypassing the normal appeals process and asking the Supreme Court to weigh in on whether a President can have immunity for crimes while in office, even after he leaves office. Also, are we going to be at war in the Middle East in 2024 and will the new nativist immigration stance within the GOP kill the party for good? All that and more on a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday!

The Science, The Truth, Dr. Anthony Fauci gave an interview to the BBC in which he lets the world know he has no use for organized religion or really any religious belief at all — but he's totally a Catholic in identity. Also, Donald Trump will be your liberator and the mRNA jabs only contain 10 percent more proteins than the COVID spike protein. Nothing to see there, even according to the authors of the study. Oh and Deadspin gaslights us in "apologizing" for calling a little boy racist.

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 on the bathroom once they noted the patron was about to document it. So munch for, 'Never Again' as we watch these vile humans dehumanize and taunt her to her face. Also, Ibram X Khendi says white people aren't human and Hunter Biden gets indicted and totes nothing to do with daddy, y'all. Oh, and we watch as two women stand up to bullying of congressmen and women while standing up for girls and women in women's sports. Plus, I'm here for Elon Musk vs. Bob Iger! Bring it on!

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 email aliases anymore and the House Oversight committee shows us even more corrupt payments between Hunter, Joe and the rest of the Biden Crime Family. Oh, and the elite universities can't condemn or do anything about anti-semitic, genocidal, speech on campus? Oh, and President Biden wants to put American troops on the ground in Ukraine?
All of this in the past 36 hours, by the way. Is it any wonder why Americans are having trouble making sense of the world?

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 and who keeps letting her speak in public? Also, Tucker Carlson and others want you to believe if you don't support Donald Trump in the GOP primary or general election, you totes heart the Feds. Meanwhile, the College Football Playoff seeds were set yesterday and the undefeated, ACC Champion, Florida State Seminoles were left out of the Playoff. I've got some thoughts on that and much more!

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.

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.

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 votes to go full clean-energy in under 20 years, Oakland has voted to end the war between Israel and Hamas and the National Railroad Museum puts up a satanic Christmas tree in our #WTFWednesday segment.

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? Deadspin goes full on Nick Sandman on a kid daring to dress up in face-paint and a head dress, no seriously. Oh and will the MAGA Cult cost America, America in 2024?

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 non-secular holidays on Canada's statutory holiday list. Also, Donald Trump goes dishonest against Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and apparently believing murder is bad is a strictly religious belief. Hmmmm...strange.

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 on this #TruthOrFictionTuesday. Also, is Northwestern's David Braun the national CFB Coach of the Year? What about ageism and Joe Biden and what about Jim Harbaugh's absence and its affect on Michigan heading in to "The Game" this weekend?

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 school teachers and first responders is so important we must go in to further debt here in America for it. Oh, and Bidenomics isn't being sold correctly, so Americans need more messaging in order to understand just how well it's going. Who wants to tell her?

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. Joining me to talk about the CTU's role in all of this, as well as why what happens here matters to what's happening in your neighborhood, your city, your state is Mailee Smith, a staff attorney and Senior Director of Labor Policy at the Illinois Policy Institute.

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 education became a thing in America and if it's something we should be fighting to save or to blow up completely.

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 good and some bad and Ron DeSantis did his best to showcase leadership and results. Oh and NBC did a good job too?

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 to realize that the left is a movement and the GOP is just an empty shell that cares about draining your pocketbook and lining theirs too. Maybe it's time to realize that personality doesn't trump plans? Just saying.

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 a look at all those #TruthOrFiction statements and more.
Yes, the show is changing as we look to impact our world and the discussions in it in a very different way. Pat is stepping away from being in front of the mic to helping me behind the scenes and the show will move from being a daily show to a twice-a-week show going more in-depth on specific topics and talking to thought leaders and those with expertise — challenging them to prove their work and thoughts, just as I hope they challenge mine.

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 where no civilians, whom Hamas traps inside Gaza and uses as human shields, are to be killed at all.
Also, on this #WTFWednesday, we have two of the dumbest takes on the AR-15 of all-time, from both sides of the political aisle and Biden has jokes as the wagons continue to circle around him and the rest of the Biden Crime Family.

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 him tons of games at the HBCU level? Also, will the J6 footage finally be released and the Biden Crime Family be held to account under Mike Johnson's speakership? What about the inevitability of Michigan-Ohio State being for the real Big Ten championship?
Yes, it's all going to be answered on a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday on the show.

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 gone, this is as black-and-white as it comes — either you believe the Jews have a right to live or you don't and for many parts of the world, apparently the sickening answer is that they'd prefer them to die and that's disgusting.
Pictures and video from all over the globe suggest a genocide is on our hands, so what are those of us who are pro-life willing to do to stand up for our brothers and sisters in belief in God? Either you're on the side of life or you're on the side of evil. Pick a side, or it will be picked for you.
Also, Donald Trump got on stage and called his own base a bunch of losers — because the MAGA Forever cult are the only ones who ever believed in "We're going to build a wall, and Mexico will pay for it." He straight up tells his audience they're a bunch of cucks and they take it like the cucks they are.

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 President and the protests around college campuses everywhere. How is this generational divide happening? Also, are those same people calling on the government of Azerbaijan to stop its ethnic cleansing of Armenians living in their ancestral land? The silence is deafening.
Oh, and we've got your NFL and College Football picks too!

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, writing or math in Oregon for the next decade. I'm sure that's going to go well. All that and more on a #WTFWednesday edition of Critical Thinking.

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 some big trouble and what about free speech for international students in America? Ron DeSantis has some thoughts and so do we on this #TruthOrFiction Tuesday!

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 that.

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 woman "only" sleeps with 300 people in 365 days, AOC goes after Ron DeSantis on "refugees" and a 4th grade teacher turns Winnie the Pooh in to a nightmare for her 4th grade classroom.

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 doing what others only talk about.
Also, smoking is cool again and will the winner of the Ohio State-Penn State matchup this weekend take the Big Ten?

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 with harsh justice. So, how does one deal with wanting free speech, yet wanting laws that exist where they do to be applied equally? Or should we still be advocating for abolition of all speech laws, especially hate-speech laws?
Also, what is the tie-that-binds all of these things together? How is it that Queer activists are marching in support of a group who would just assume murder them for their lifestyle? It's a one-word answer — Marxism.

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 led to us having to move all our assets out of Iran and burning our ability to gather intelligence that likely would've tipped us off to this Hamas attack. Also, is Marxism not just a political ideology, but a worldview? If so, is it a demonic worldview? I break down Marxism vs. the Ten Commandments for you and I've got your most ridiculous #WTFWednesday to date.

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.

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. Others believe this to be a totally immoral act. Where does the truth lie? It's way more complicated than black and white in some ways, in others, it's very simple.
Also, it's Columbus Day or as the left tells us, Indigenous Peoples Day. Why are we destroying Columbus and heaping love on all Native tribes? It's such a strange thing to do given the realities of Columbus' life and the history of the tribes of the Caribbean and North America. We examine this phenomenon too.

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.

Well, it's actually historically bad, yet they are still pimping them to us all. Strange. Finally, we talk some Big Ten and NFL football — giving you our picks for both this week.

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 countersuit in which neither side exchanges money and it turns out the alleged victim was actually a perpetrator of a huge hoax. Lest we forget that the court of public opinion and rushing to judgement of anyone is wrong. It's also a #WTFWednesday as we show you the dumbest of criminals in Philly, the left just coming out and telling you there shouldn't be parental rights and Donald Trump threatening officers of the court in his trial in New York City.

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 it right or just? Nope. Do we know the truth? Nope. Yet everyone wants to jump to conclusions. Let's let the truth play out instead of rushing to any conclusion. Also, what's happening with the UAW and their strike against the big three automakers? A 32-hour work week for 40 hours of pay?

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 general. Will the NFL take the steps necessary to curb the violence?

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.

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?

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.

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?

It's Team Objective Truth vs. Subjective "I wanna" culture on this Friday's best and worst takes of the week. Kamala Harris said what? A feminine hygine company CEO calls women "menstruaters" and North Carolina's governor won't protect girls in sports. We also look at what took place at the box office for "The Sound of Freedom" — a film that takes on the realities of child sex trafficking and the true story of Tim Ballard. It won the box office over the 4th of July weekend and what does that mean for both film and our culture.

On Thursday, the House Oversight committee released IRS whistleblower testimony that showed the depths of knowledge of Hunter Biden's dealings by Joe Biden. It also showed just how far the DOJ, FBI and others have been willing to go in protection of the Biden Crime Family.

Donald Trump faces the 2-tiered justice system, but he also faces major questions about electability and what happens to the country if he is under house-arrest, in prison or is even convicted before the general election in 2024.

Donald Trump refuses to say he regrets any part of what went down during the COVID part of his presidency, but he's totes cool with the death penalty for drug dealers...just not the ones he's already pardoned in the First Step Act. Also, we watch as the 2-tiered justice system goes to work in our banana republic. That's right, no jail for Hunter Biden, but fast-tracking the trail for Trump is on the menu. Do you understand what's happening here, yet?

Also, the Sunday Times lets us know that indeed, COVID-19 was leaked from Wuhan and that the Chinese were attempting to study and make a bio-weapon out of a super-charged coronavirus. We also want to know if Trump will indeed be convicted and it will be a fair trial. Also, what about Ron DeSantis vs. Trump — which one does the left hate more?

Also, has Nikki Haley completely killed off her campaign already and what about retirement for one of the greatest NBA players in history?
Vivek Ramaswamy went hard this weekend...hard in the direction of being the next Evan McMullin for me.

It's a #WTFWednesday on Critical Thinking as we discover that Major League Baseball is even more woke than we ever thought. Also, Dylan Mulvaney decides he wants a baby inside him and we discuss just how bad the deal that was struck to raise the debt ceiling limit really was.
Some in the MAGA forever camp took the past week to unleash some of the most disgraceful and disgusting lines of personal attack I've ever seen in politics. Is that all the Trump camp really has? I'm flying solo and discussing the aftermath of Ron DeSantis announcing his run for president, plus I discuss what polls are and aren't saying about the two-headed GOP race.
Ron DeSantis will announce his candidacy for President of the United States of America later on Wednesday, with Elon Musk, on Twitter. Does the announcement actually matter and why or why not? Also, Joy Behar tells black men what it's like to be them and a man tells us men are actually biological women...it's a WTF Wednesday and our last show until after Memorial Day too.
After pulling the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" from a Pride Night event, the Los Angeles Dodgers "reflected" and are now allowing this wholly anti-catholic LGBTQ group to parade around the field on Pride Night. Just a simple reminder that you can't live and let live with the spirit of the age. Also, are the Republicans becoming the Know-Nothings all over again? What about housing the homeless as the solution to all homelessness? All that and more on a Truth or Fiction Tuesday.
Joe Biden mumbles and bumbled his way on stage at the G7, complete with another out-and-out lie about history (shocker). Also, we look at the lies science tells us about meat, EV's and even what causes and fixes depression — brought to you by Big Pharma, of course.
Ron DeSantis unveiled his best attack on Donald Trump, going after Operation Warp Speed in a hilarious and intentional way.
Have the Democrats no shame? Apparently not, as they attempted yesterday to gaslight former FBI officers who blew the whistle on political abuses by the agency. Also, if you can't see where your data goes when its happening, are you really in control? We also crown a new Richard of the Week and our best/worst takes of the week get revealed, featuring Adam Schiff.
A FEE.org article asks us if we are indeed living out the Ayn Rand novel, 'Atlas Shrugged' in real life. We examine that possibility and how America's state-to-state movement and the reasons behind it may indeed suggest that we are living out the point of the book in real life and that's a good thing.
The Durham Report has had what fallout? What consequences exactly? Nothing. So, what do we do about a government that has been weaponized for one political party's gain? Also, John Fetterman and Kamala Harris get in front of microphones and Donald Trump shows is "pro-life" cards.
Special Counsel John Durham issues his report on the Donald Trum-Russia collusion story and it's exactly what we thought. So, what is the report really worth and should you care? Also, we take on 4 myths about Libertarians. Are they really myths or rooted in truth?
Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis were both supposed to be in Iowa this weekend. One showed up, the other didn't and all hell broke loose on social media. Also, the two delivered very different Mother's Day messages. President Biden hid away at the beach while literal terrorists were crossing the Southern Border and now Team GOP is anti-legal immigration? What the hell is going on America?
As the national emergency on COVID-19 ends, and thus so does Title 42, predictable and preventable chaos reigned overnight. All the while so-called sanctuary cities are no longer happy to welcome their "undocumented migrants" to their cities anymore. Strange. Also, puberty blockers are just pause buttons on biology and Donald Trump has Anderson Cooper all-a-tizzy.
The House Oversight Committee laid out a pretty damning case of corruption, influence peddling and money laundering against Joe Biden and the Biden Crime Family, but will there be any accountability? Also, just how deep has the Spirit of the Age gotten in to the christian faith and what about Donald Trump and the CNN town hall?
Matt Araiza is vindicated against allegations of being involved in a gang rape of a 17-year-old girl at a college party back in 2021. Yet, the sports media still tries to tie him to the allegations and furthers the idea that a gang rape occurred, except they leave out the fact that the DA makes it very clear they don't believe that scenario played out at all. Also, EcoHealthAlliance is back to "business as usual" and a woman is accused of poisoning her husband, but the story begins with her trying to pass it off as an accident and then profiting off of his death by writing a picture book to help kids cope with death of a parent. Truly sick stuff on a #WTFWednesday
If you thought the Dylan Mulvaney marketing matter was just a ploy to look woke, you would be wrong. On this #TruthOrFiction Tuesday, Andrew explores the question of A-B's existence since it is indeed deep in the woods of wokeness. So, either it is woke and just disavowed it's own "values" or it's "values" were all just words. Either way, you've managed to tick off every potential customer in the process. Also, should the TSA still exist, E-Verify is bad for liberty and will Biden loose support in the black community in 2024?
Andrew flies solo all week, so strap-in from some deep critical thinking. AOC tweeted the dumbest thing I've ever seen from an elected official, claiming that republicans want to kill the mentally ill. Also, Chelsea Clinton shows that the control-freaks aren't going to go away and Title 42 going away has the right up in arms.
Anheuser-Busch's CEO issued a kinda-sorta apology and continues to step in it in the aftermath of the Dylan Mulvaney controversy. Also, the worst teenage angst against capitalism of all-time and we watch Tim Pool school a leftist on "trans-genocide" and team objective reality beats subjective reality. Also, we give you a masterclass in mocker, ridicule and scorn all in one video.
Will Team GOP figure out how to win? We continue to talk the Great American Migration story, as well as the two ways to win the 2024 election if the Republicans are at all interested in winning. Also, the trans-blind community is a thing and Karin-Jean Pierre says a stupid thing about illegal immigration and our reaction may surprise you.
What if I told you that despite the talk of recession and doom-and-gloom for the American economy, that there is hope and excitement to be had? Well, that is the reality, as people are widely fleeing high-tax and low economic freedom states to those who are showing freedom and low taxes. We also discuss the illegal immigration issue, along with economics and morality and so much more on a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday.
RFK Jr. has become a darling of some on the right. Andrew and Pat explore that obsession and why they need to stay far away from that man. He's not your friend, he's someone who agrees with you on one thing and one thing only. Also, are we really on the brink of war with China and how could we still avoid it, if at all possible.
Lia Thomas comes strong with the either you support dudes deciding to be a woman or you aren't a real feminist. Who had the best and worst first round of the NFL Draft and a reminder that speaking truth to power, also requires power. It's a Fish Fry Friday here on Critical Thinking.
After the surprise parting of ways between Tucker Carlson and Fox News, Carlson breaks his silence. He comes with a message that I think we all needed to hear. Nikki Hayley spoke on Fox News and killed her 2024 GOP presidential bid in less than a minute. Hot takes don't equal winning.
Also, the mortgage and housing myths you are hearing and reading about get taken on here on Critical Thinking.
In a recently viral rant, a member of Gen Z let us all know that we should have a "right to safety" in schools and in life. Also, look out because they are now voting age and coming for you. Andrew takes on the politics and reality of this video. Also, what if I told you the CIA wasn't just putting its thumb on the scales of elections overseas, but has done so for the past 3 presidential elections? Also, Joe Biden goes in to hiding mode as he officially kicks off his 2014 campaign with a slick video that signals to the left and triggers the "he's a liar" on the right.
Yep, it's a #WTFWednesday folks.
It's a Truth or Fiction Tuesday, and today we're tackling Joe Biden telling us that the kids are all of ours, not their parents, the Aaron Rodgers trade to the Jets going down and Tucker Carlson moving on from Fox News. Oh and something about Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis and who is the weaker candidate.
Late on Friday, the FHFA announced new mortgage rules that will change the game. Hoping to bring more "ownership opportunities" to minority and poor communities, they have shown to not have learned any lessons from 2007. But why? We explore. Also, Tucker Carlson shows us what time it really is and Bud Light makes a swift change in marketing after its disastrous sponsorship of Dylan Mulvaney. Boycotts work, or no?
Donald Trump's spokesperson believes that the question of abortion is just a "state's rights" issue. Does this call in to question his pro-life bona fides or not? Also, incoming Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says we can't demonize the youth that rioted in Chicago last weekend, because "kids do stupid things all the time."
Also, Jesse Kelly with some truth about Donald Trump's legal troubles and a take on what's needed to right the ship of our politics and culture in America from Brian Hyde.
On this Deep Dive Thursday, we wanted to look at what the cases may be against the suspected top two GOP candidates for President. We took the case DeSantis should be making against Trump and the case Trump should be making against DeSantis in a debate-style format. So, let the fun begin!
It's a WTF Wednesday and we take a look at an AI photograph winning Picture of the Year in a prestigious Sony picture contest. Also, Eric Adams wants everyone in NYC to stop eating meat and consuming dairy, Lia Thomas wants you to believe there's an equal playing field for transgendered women and real ladies and another government official can't tell you what a woman is. What's reality anymore?
Happy Taxation is Theft Day! It's also another edition of #TruthOrFiction Tuesday on the show, where we tackle the concept of the American founding fathers being evil, boycotting taxes and Bud Light and finally a look at the possibility of a socialist overthrow of our constitutional republic. A spirited a fun show ahead for you today!
Chicago gets HOT over the weekend and teenagers got full-on organized mayhem in multiple locations. Shootings, cars on fire, rioting, street takeovers downtown and the "leaders" of the city fail to lead. Shocker. Also, we discuss our viewing of Nefarious in-depth...be on the lookout for spoilers.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio went on Fox News this week and gave the best synopsis of the state of America and its standing in the world that I have ever seen. Also, Elon Musk rips a BBC reporter to shreds with facts and reason and we'll crown a brand new Richard of the Week.
Will it be a repeat of the summer of 1968 in Chicago? Well, the Dems are hoping not, as they bring their 2024 national convention to the Windy City. Why? We break that down as well as ask a critical question — is liberty culture, and if so, why are so many libertarians unwilling to get in to the culture war? Shouldn't they be on the front line?
French President Emmanuel Macron thinks Europe shouldn't follow America when it comes to the China-Taiwan question. Also, are we not a moral society anymore and what about eliminating "gun violence" from our society? All that and more on another #TruthorFiction Tuesday!
Bud Light admits it doesn't want the "frat boy" image and is indeed attempting to reach the trans community as its new marketplace. Refreshing, unlike the beer, to hear, but also telling of where our culture is and where the marketplace really is. Also, we take on the Church of Me rising up on Easter Sunday and more.
It is Friday and that means we're giving you our best and worst takes of the week, including Matt Walsh giving us all a class in "How to Defeat Trans Ideology" and Shannon Joy finally getting that liberty, not politicians or courts will be the thing that could save America from the brink of totalitarian hell. Also, comparing yourself to Jesus and the resurrection story because you got expelled from the Tennessee state House of Representatives is certainly an odd flex this time of the year.
Andrew returns home from vacation to find a socialist mayor and socialist alderwoman have won election in his city and his district. Ain't life grand? Oh, and if you think the Donald Trump story from Tuesday matters, you haven't been paying attention to the last 15 years. Also, taking on the culture war doesn't need to be an all-or-nothing proposition, as Matt Walsh points out.
Pat continues to fill in for Andrew on this Truth or Fiction Tuesday. The truth or fictions statements are as follows:
Caitlin Clark will be canceled this year.
Trump's other legal troubles are real, not just political persecution and should disqualify him from being president.
Donald Trump will be convicted in the Stormy Daniels Case.
The fact that the Nashville shooters motive has not been released is about politics.
Pat discusses Joe Biden declaring March 31st as "Transgender Visibility Day" in the wake of the shooting of the Nashville Christian school by a woman claiming to be a man. He also crowns a brand new Richard of the Week.
Pat discusses Former President Donald Trump's indictment and Trump's response to that indictment. He also discusses Jacob Chansley being released from prison in wake of the video released on Tucker Carlson's show. And finally, Pat discusses the Mid Vermont Christian School girls basketball team and what that story has to say about our current culture.
Pat fills in for Andrew and talks about the reactions of the Biden Administration and some in the media to the Nashville shooting and of course guns.
A horrific and tragic shooting took place in Nashville on Monday, Andrew and Pat react to what we know, what we don't and the rush to judgement politically...all the while we're over here like "hello, this is the manifestation of evil."
Also, we play some Truth or Fiction with sports and politics, including a discussion the future existence of ESPN.
The January 6th Proud Boys trials take a dramatic and dark turn, as the DOJ is forced to expose they've had informants working within the defense team leading up to and during trial.

What is money? Who controls it? Who will control it? Andrew flies solo and discusses things you may or may not know about our current monetary system and the future of digital currency. Also, what if the W.H.O., not you, or your local, state or federal government had any control over your health care? Andrew deep dives in the W.H.O.'s latest plan to control your life too.
For the MAGA-forever crowd we see their true religion exposed as some suggest Donald Trump's potential indictment will lead to his christlike "death" and "resurrection" and I'm not down to clown with any of it. Also, what if everything really is racist and what if President Joe Biden can't recite a simple poem?

Joe Biden moves to declassify all COVID-19 origin info, is that the smartest move he's made as President? Also, are we finally done with the COVID B.S., what about the tanking economy and what about impeaching Biden as mutually assured political destruction?
Donald Trump may or may not be indicted on charges related to bribing ex-lovers into silence ahead of the 2016 presidential campaign, but he is telling MAGA to protest, protest, protest. We unpack a complicated story with a simple outcome — don't fall for the trap of protesting on behalf of a man who doesn't and won't ever have your back. Also, we examine chapters 5 & of Rise of the Fourth Reich by Steve Deace and Daniel Horowitz.
The Lt. Governor of Minnesota wants you to know that parents jobs are to affirm everything their child believes, without question, and to not do so is immoral. Yep, it's that time of the week where we look at the best and worst takes of the week as well as crown a brand-new #RichardOfTheWeek.
President Joe Biden has signed an executive order attempting to redefine "gun dealer" and thus making background checks more universal. Except, that's not all his executive order wants to do and Biden has come out and said it, he wants to ban all "assault weapons." Also, we dive further in to the GOP hopefuls answers to Tucker Carlson on war with Russia and the Ukrainian situation too.
Tucker Carlson asked important questions about Russia and war to the likely GOP presidential candidates. We break down their answers in part 1 of a 2-part series. Also, it's a WTF Wednesday where girls get kicked out of future basketball tournaments because of stance on playing against boys and the cult of transgenderism rears its ugly head in other ways too.
The House Oversight Committee says they have the proof of direct financial ties between the Chinese Communist Party and the Biden family. Andrew and Pat discuss that, plus Donald Trump's God Complex and Vivek Ramaswamy's presidential chances too — all on a Truth of Fiction Tuesday!
The Fed and U.S. Treasury come up with a plan to save Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank over the weekend, but it's definitely not a taxpayer bailout...or is it? We discuss the failing of two large regional banks and the response to it. Also, it's NCAA tourney time, we make our picks and the Critical Thinking book club is back as we talk about "Rise of the Fourth Reich" chapters 3 & 4.
Jane Fonda went on The View to talk about abortion, because of course. She also said that pro-lifers should be murdered, beyond all the activism to get abortion legalized. Also, Lilly from the AT&T Commercials goes crazy on TikTok and we crown a brand-new #RichardOfTheWeek
Do we have a real constitutional crisis on our hands? Are we watching the fall of our republic before our eyes? Two stories tell us these two things may indeed be happening. On the one hand, two members of the United States Senate — Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell — have attempted to put their thumb on the scale of free speech and who gets to use it as a journalist, even who gets to be hired and fired. On the other hand, we have Biden's FTC attempting to squelch speech and dive in to journalists relationships with Twitter and beyond. I've never seen such brazen attacks from not one, but two branches of our government on such a fundamental right as this.
Also, JJ Reddick obliterates Kendrick Perkins racist NBA rant live on race-baiting ESPN. It was glorious and WTF all rolled in to one.
It's a #FishFryFriday on Critical Thinking, where we're told by US. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen that the U.S. taxpayer has a duty to defend Ukraine, a Catholic Cardinal decides to tell us that conscious trumps church teaching and the GOP tries to tell us they are "fiscally conservative."
Donald Trump's latest attack on Ron DeSantis steals directly from the democratic playbook of the 2000's, using the "granny off the cliff" scare tactic on Social Security. It's disgusting, but such is Trump's desperation already. Also, Chuck Schumer out-and-out lies on the floor of the senate, glitter ashes for all on Ash Wednesday and much more on a WTF Wednesday edition of Critical Thinking.
Planned Parenthood makes almost all its revenue off of in-person abortion, but now supports by-mail abortions. Will that mean the end of Planned Parenthood as a business? Also, will WW3 happen in the next 5-10 years? Will faith-based films be the story-of-the-year in the movie industry?
If we're asking all those questions, it must be a Truth or Fiction Tuesday on Critical Thinking!
The Wall Street Journal repots that the Department of Energy's investigation in to the COVID-19 origin points to a likely leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Who would've thunk.
We also begin our book club on "Rise of the 4th Reich: Confronting COVID fascism with a new Nuremberg Trial, so this never happens again." Authors Steve Deace and Daniel Horowitz take us on a trial-like setting for this book. We cover the opening statement and Chapters 1 & 2. Conclusion? You're going to very angry and very enlightened throughout this book and the genius of presenting the military case first was incredible.
Andrew and Pat are here with their best and worst of takes of the week, including a suggestion that the right hasn't been winning at anything and we need to ban things. They also look at the embodiment of the spirit of the age as well as a pastor willing to call our fractional reserve banking 'evil' and James Cameron suggesting half the humans need to die.
All that on a #FishFryFriday edition of Critical Thinking.
German paper, Die Welt, has exposed that Pfizer manipulated COVID-19 clinical trial participation and data gathering to its advantage. As in 20% of its trial participants either dead or with severe adverse reactions to the shots in its largest trial site. Yet, have you heard anyone talking about it? Yet, we're all scratching our head as death rates skyrocket and birth rates plummet around the globe. What could the common denominator be?
Not to be outdone, the CDC released a completely insane study suggesting 12-year-olds and up are less likely to get or die from COVID-19. Except the study is completely garbage.
Also, Angela Davis, one of the founding thinkers of Critical Race Theory, watches her entire life's work crumble in front of her in less than a minute.
It's a WTF Wednesday on the program and Andrew and Pat are taking on the topic of "national divorce" as well as another curious Clinton suicide and an awful case of medical malpractice in the military again.
Did Donald Trump save his 2024 presidential chances with his visit to Ohio? Can A.I. make sports writing great again? Is Non-physical confrontation how you fight the spirit of the age? Is National Divorce evil rhetoric or necessary?
All those questions are answered and more on today's Truth or Fiction Tuesday edition of Critical Thinking.
Kamala Harris seemingly lays down a few red lines, suggesting war is in the offing. We also speak with best-selling author, Daniel Horowitz, on his new book, "Rise of the Fourth Reich" and discuss the need for a new Nuremberg-like trial for all that has occurred during the COVID era.
Buy the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Fourth-Reich-Confronting-Nuremberg/dp/163758752X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3SKVDVLDAX0SQ&keywords=rise+of+the+fourth+reich+steve+deace&qid=1676935853&sprefix=%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-1

Documentary from Illinois Policy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbQ81mGucvs&t
UFO's are invading...or something. Multiple "unidentified objects" were shot out of the sky across North America over the weekend. What gives? Also, we break down the Super Bowl as well as FIRE's 10 Worst College's for Free Speech.
Pat breaks down Project Veritas as they release a new video where their reporters confront Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, who is relying some aggressive security tactics to escape the journalist questions.
Pat also gives his best and worst takes of the week, covers a new Babylon Bee story, and crowns a new Richard of the Week.
Pat fills in for Andrew and he discusses whether or not Joe Biden will actually run in 2024. He also poses the question of "Is it time to tear down the Constitution and start over?" He also goes through what he would change about the Constitution if we were to ever amend it again.
It is WTF Wednesday and Pat is filling in for Andrew again. Pat dives into parts of Joe Biden's State of the Union Address, Donald Trump continuing to attack Ron DeSantis, and rules for a polite society per New York Magazine.
Pat fills in for Andrew. On this episode, Pat takes on 4 Truth or Fiction statements.
- Truth or fiction - Pfizer’s continued employment of employee in Project Veritas video speaks volumes about the veracity of the claims being made.
- Truth or fiction - The greatest threat to our future is the raising of our national debt limit.
- Truth or fiction -The government sees parents as inferior.
- Truth or fiction - We are in more of a spiritual war than a cultural one.
China's Spy Balloon is finally shot down, but does it matter all that much? What about all the spying the U.S. government is doing on its own law-abiding citizens? Also, we take a look at 5 ways to increase your freedom from Conor Boyak.
More evidence from scientists and data analysts suggest massive amounts of harm to young people and smaller harms to older people who have taken the jab's' — and its time we demand they are pulled from the shelves in the name of long-term safety and health. Also, another metastudy shows masks have no affect on COVID, just don't tell Stephen Colbert and his audience. We also witnessed the most insane rants of all-time on the floor of the House of Representatives — what a week it was.
Artificial Intelligence has become a hot topic thanks the explosion in popularity of chatGPT for everything from education to real estate and all points in between. But, have we thought about the implications of AI on society? What are the ground rules? Can there be any rules? What about how it could change how society functions? Have we thought through ethics? Andrew and Pat tackle all that on this week's Deep Dive discussion.
NBC gave an interview to the chief investigator on the House Jan. 6 committee and he blows up their narrative. Tim Heaphy announced that failure of the FBI and other agencies to connect the dots prior to Jan. 6 and their lack of response on Jan. 6 were failures that contributed to that day too. Also, German-doppleganger muder is a thing and creepy Joe Biden returns on a #WTFWednesday
It's a Truth or Fiction Tuesday and we're talking the end of the U.S. Dollar as reserve currency, the rigging of the NFL and the end of the national COVID emergency.
A new deciphering of a 2,900-year-old slab proves that King David was a historical figure, thus proving even more of the "stories" of the Bible are based on real people and real events. On the other hand, some are still floating the most insane conspiracy theory that Damar Hamlin is dead, despite his appearance for a live interview this weekend. Oh, and the New York Rangers players stand together and don't done the religious garb of the LGBTQ+ crowd.
Ben Shapiro and other so-called conservatives have avoided any mention of the Pfizer mutated COVID monkeys story. Why? Also, Cory Booker compares illegal immigrants to Holocaust victims and Joe Biden goes all bad-faith on Republicans.
It's a #FishFryFriday on the show...clearly.
A new Project Veritas undercover vide shows a high-level Pfizer executive talking about mutating the COVID virus, injecting in to monkeys and seeing what happens. Also, money is the root of all of this. Oh, and the Pope said what about criminality and sin?
A group of pre-school teachers brag about gender theory indoctrination, while trying to claim 4-year-olds just naturally knew what 'non-binary' meant. Also, Lindsay Graham runs cover for Joe Biden and explain how mRNA-jab countries are having more excess deaths, while countries with low jab rates are seeing death numbers decline dramatically?
All that on a #WTFWednesday edition of Critical Thinking!
It's a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday and on today's show we see Andrew and Pat take on questions about the national debt, Joe Biden's likelihood of survival from the classified documents scandal and Trump needs to show accountability for COVID jabs if he's ever to win the Republican primary in 2024.
It was revealed, over the weekend, that the FBI has found a 4th set of classified docs at the Joe Biden private residence in Wilmington, DE. This time allegedly dating as far back to his days as a Senator. I discuss that, along with reports of a black conservative Fox News analyst being booted from a restaurant in Miami for his politics. Should any business have the right to deny you service because of your political views?
Philadelphia Flyers player Ivan Provorov put his religion in to practice, refusing to wear a "Pride" version of the Flyers warmup jersey this week and the woke sports writers here and in Canada went nuts. Provorov stood up to it and it was awesome. Also, Rebel News shows us how you shine a light on the evil of Pfizer and we crown a brand new Richard of the Week as well.
It's a Deep Dive Thursday and we want to know will the Department of Justice ever actually charge Donald Trump with a crime? Also, one of the darkest and nastiest stories you'll ever hear is exposed in our Bee or Not the Bee segment. Finally, we wonder if Matthew 12 (22:42) tells us if we can simply win a culture war by refusing to take part in it.
Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) introduced a bill attempting to target white supremacy as an extra "hate crime" category and what the bill actually does is introduce thought and speech crimes. Also, San Francisco is suggesting $5 million in reparation payments, plus eliminating all debt and adjusting income levels to the Average income level of SF residents ($97,000).
Joe Biden goes on not one, or two or three...but uncountable insane rants while on stage at two MLK Day events this past weekend. Meanwhile we have good Donald Trump and then bad Donald Trump...all on a #WTFWednesday
One of the newest tools in the climate alarmists arsenal is banning gas stoves in America because they "cause" childhood asthma. Well, it turns out the attempt to link the two is pseudoscience at worst and bad-faith at best. Andrew and Pat break that down with Alex Epstein's Twitter thread from over the weekend, and also show you the best anti-climate change argument of all-time.
The left has come out with how the Biden classified doc scandal is happening — the docs were simply planted. Yep, the insane gets even more insane. Also, what's a coincidence conspiracy? We also crown our #RichardOfTheWeek and of course our best/worst stories of the week as well.
Title 42 is about to go before the Supreme Court, where we see the left tell us we need to end Title 42, while also telling us Pandemic Forever and the right saying Title 42 needs to be in place and "what public health crisis?" all at the same time. We explore that and Chicago Mayor, Lori Lightfoot, wants to enlist Chicago's school kids in to her campaign. Desperate much?
Joe Biden's team found classified docs in his office at UPenn and the whataboutisms ran wild on both sides. We wonder what a former VP was doing with classified docs in the 1st place and is it just incompetence or part of the Biden Crime Family's story. Also, Arkansas is banning words in government docs and Stacey Abrams hints at another run for office.
It's a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday on the show and we're asking about Georgia becoming the greatest College Football Champion of all-time, Donald Trump Being the Biggest Loser of the Kevin McCarthy fight in Congress and so much more.
A lawsuit in Maine shows just how bad the spying on American citizens has gotten. We have an example of garbage data in, garbage data out and fake docs take to Twitter to warn us about COVID. So, we have spying, psy ops and misinformation all in one episode!
We head to the 4th day of voting on a new Speaker of the House, which means the American people are not getting screwed at the moment. Let's celebrate that. Andrew and Pat also bring their best/worst stories of the week, crown their 1st #RichardOfTheWeek and much more on today's show.
On the 2nd day of voting for the Speaker of the House, absolutely nothing was accomplished, as Kevin McCarthy failed to gain the trust of 20 of his fellow Republicans. Team GOP goes in to day 3 likely in the same position. We tackle the "Trust, but verify" argument being made for McCarthy's speakership. Also, should the entire American Intelligence community by dismantled?
Chaos reigned on Capitol Hill as the 118th Congress was sworn in and a new Speaker of the House vote took place, not once or twice, but three times over and Kevin McCarthy still did not had the votes to win. We discuss that GOP chaos. It's also a WTF Wednesday in which ESPN allows prayer on air, Fetterman's wife takes center stage and a doctor suggests that anti-vaxers deaths should be mocked and how dare anyone question the vaccine.
After a long winter's nap, Andrew & Pat are back together again. They take down some of the worst takes that happened while they were away, including the GOP stating they are for limited government, Scottish Police refusing to call pedophiles, pedophiles and so much more. Also, what may lay ahead for 2023? They give their predictions for the year ahead too.
Ben Shapiro fawns over Zalenskyy and attempts to make the case that our aide needs to continue. I discuss. Also, DHS has decided to blackout information on the number of illegal immigrant apprehensions on the Southern Border and there's a message that all of us Christians need to hear — especially those trapped in the Church of Me.
Nancy Pelosi dropped a $1.7 trillion, 4,155-page lump of coal on the American people in the middle of the night. Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy wants you to believe he'll do things differently. Elon Musk shows us his Twitter exit strategy and the left continues to show its ignorance on the basics of how a gun works. It's a #WTFWednesday and the final one for 2022!
A new "Twitter Files" dump came yesterday, showing not just that the FBI was suggesting tweets to take down, but that over the course of multiple years, they were grooming Twitter execs to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story. The depths of the grooming and attempts to flaunt federal spying laws is breathtaking.
Also, Title 42 gets upheld until the Supreme Court can deal with it and what's up with Elon Musk leaving his fate as CEO of Twitter up to a Twitter poll?
This is our final regular episode together for 2022. Pat and Andy review the year that was, take a look at how our predictions for the year turned out and crown our 2nd annual #RichardOfTheYear
Elon Musk decided to change the "Terms of Service" and the left tested his 'free speech' mettle. Then Musk banned a ton of journalists and others who played chicken and lost. Was he right, wrong or somewhere in-between? Also, we crown a new Richard of the Week and tell you why Babylon Bee and Live Action are our best stories of the week.
Recently, an argument over free speech being an illusion happened on the Steve Deace Show with two very different sides of the coin presented. We deep-dive on the concept of free speech being an illusion or not. Also, we tackle TikTok and what to do about its part-ownership by the Chinese Communist Party. All that and more on a Deep Dive Thursday!
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced a request to impanel a grand jury to look in to criminal liability for COVID vaccine producers, while also announcing a public oversight advisory board regarding the "public health establishment." He's clearly taking aim to Nuremberg Fauci, the CDC and all officials responsible for the lockdowns and unnecessary measures taken during the COVID-19 era. It's also a #WTFWednesday and we'll tackle drag queens representing Respect for Marriage, the left abhorring violent language — until they use it — and so much more.
FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested and charged with numerous federal crimes, right on the eve of his testimony in front of congress. Also, are libertarians to blame for Hershel Walker losing the Georgia Senate runoff election? What about Kyrsten Sinema's motives for going independent?
All that and more on a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday here on Critical Thinking.
Elon Musk dares to suggest that Dr. Anthony Fauci should be prosecuted for his actions and lies surrounding COVID-19 and the left went nuts. Also, Twitter Files Pt. 3 and 4 were released and we wonder if anything illegal or intentional was at play?
WNBA star and criminal, Brittney Griner, is traded for the "Merchant of Death" in a prisoner swap for the ages. Also, the Twitter Files Pt. 2 drops, Andrew's over the moon for the Badgers new Offensive Coordinator, Loudon County schools failed bigly and we crown a brand-new Richard of the Week — it must be a #FishFryFriday on the program!
On a Deep Dive Thursday here at Critical Thinking, we ask two critical questions — is the FBI inverting the 4th amendment in pursuit of January 6th "insurrection" convictions? Additionally, given this being allowed to happen (or not) are we even capable of self-governance as the limited government crowd would like it to be?
What happens when a Secretary of State in a state decides to become the arbiter of speech? Also, when that same person decides to run for governor, keeping their current job and then certifying herself as the winner of the election? We call that fascist, do you?
It's a #WTFWednesday and we talk about the joy educators get out of confusing kids about gender, also American Girl wants to Trans the Kids and Howard Stern decides to suggest Kirstie Alley died of cancer because she was anti-vax mandate. It's a doozy of a #WTFWednesday for sure.
Are we living through Romans 1 times? What does Romans 1 tell us? It's a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday on the show and we explore pastor Alistair Begg's talk about the authority of the bible over the authority of man and who's winning within the church.
Also, who wins the Heisman Trophy and will there be an All-Big Ten championship game. Oh and a little "COVID shots will give us a severe spike in autoimmune diseases" talk too.
What's it called when government and corporate power is one in the same? The Twitter Files released by Musk tell us a story of just how bad it is when government and corporate America are in concert with each other. Also, Trump shows his authoritarian tendencies in response to the story. What's the solution to all of it?
The Gender Ideology crowd wants us to know that biology is fake and declaring non-binary status is only for the "real" non-binary, except what the hell is a "real" non-binary person? Also, Andrew gives you a trifecta of best stories of the week and AOC's boyfriend tries to tell us how to deal with racist white people...or something.
Apple loves authoritarianism so much that it's taking the side of the CCP over the people of China and allegedly threatening to remove Twitter as it takes the top off it's speech restrictions on the app. Also, what are some truths we learned so far this week and why must the right/libertarian journos tell the story of a government thief from the perspective of his sexuality?
Mitt Romney tells a tall tale of "law of the land" in an attempt to defend his vote for the "Respect for Marriage Act." Justin Trudeau believes China shouldn't be brutalizing peaceful protestors, irony much? Also, Fauci lies, in other words, it's a day that ends in 'Y' — all in a #WTFWednesday version of Critical Thinking
What if I told you that 40% of all small businesses can't make all or part of their monthly rent payments? What if I told you that Kanye West isn't having a mental breakdown, this is what he's been exposed to his entire life? All that and more on today's #CriticalThinking as Andrew flies solo once again.
Such is the times of the Death Cult that we are living through, that a Canadian clothing retailer, Simons, has decided to go with the bold strategy of marketing to those wanting to commit assisted suicide. Also, the Chinese people are rising up against COVID-19 lockdowns and Wisconsin goes bold with it's new football head coach.
Turns out the Colorado Springs shooter identifies as non-binary and the gender theorists on the left are suddenly not a fan of automatically accepting gender labels, just because. Nope, that's not how this works, you don't get to play your game when its convenient for you and then tell us no when it's inconvenient for your other political narratives.
OWN YOUR SHIT! OWN ALL OF IT!
Zelenskyy lies and nearly leads us to brink of World War III in the process. What could be worse than that? Well, it's Friday and we're throwing out the worst of the week as well as our best stories too. Including stories on the Daily Wire, Candace Cameron Bure and Fruit Quake.
It's a Deep Dive Thursday on the show and we take a look at the "Respect for Marriage Act" from a critical thinking and religious background. Does it really respect marriage? What about protecting religious definitions and public practice of religion? What's actually in the bill and the amendment that the LDS Church supported? Also, is it really a compromise if I have to give and there's no take?
Also, how do you solve our declining birth-rate in America? Amnesty for all the illegals, of course.
Donald Trump announced he's running for President yesterday, shocker I know. Also, don't go full Enron, never go full Enron (lessons learned by FTX collapse) and Jason Whitlock suggests we say "down with the Matriarchy" — it must be a #WTFWednesday on the show.
On Day 8 of Election Day, we learn that the house and senate may not give the GOP the wins they wanted. Is this the end of the MAGA era? We discuss that & much more on a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday.
As we enter Day 6 of Election Day, it increasingly looks like the GOP totally failed, as they likely aren't taking the House or the Senate. So, was it a failure of GOP leadership and if so, who should take over? We discuss that and the latest study that suggests myocarditis cases are 3x as likely in those who are 18-29 and got the Moderna shot.
Donald Trump has spent the better part of this week lashing out at everyone and anyone following a mid-term election that fell short of GOP expectations. He's thrown candidates he endorsed under the bus, attacked Florida governor Ron DeSantis nearly every day and even went after his cancer-survivor wife. But, now he's trying a new tactic, painting DeSantis as "establishment" GOP. Some aren't buying it and are lining up to anti-endorse him for 2024.
We discuss that, plus abortion and of course crown a brand new Richard of the Week.
Ron DeSantis was the red tsunami, but can he take how he won in Florida and do it nationally? Andrew and Pat discuss that and Matt Walsh's recent op-ed talking about his son with ADHD and how we need to encourage boyhood, not medicate the boyhood out of the boy.
Red Wave, Red Tsunami, Red Wedding...we heard it all heading in to the mid-term election of 2022. After all the voting and counting, where was this wave, let alone a tsunami or "red wedding" we were told by every side of political punditry? It didn't happen and the GOP fizzled out big time.
We discuss the implications of this election, what it says about us as a country and people and most importantly, what happened with Ron DeSantis and Florida as a lesson or not for the rest of the country.

It's Election Day 2022 and a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday, so we've got some thoughts on how things will play out in federal and state elections throughout the country. Also, will Team GOP do anything with the power it may be given or will the Dems declare the election illegitimate and seize power?

Over the weekend we saw national and state Democrats make the worst closing argument for an election of all-time. Reminders of abortion, black men being too stupid to see through "misinformation" and radical energy policy all rolled in to one.
Oh, all the while political violence from the left gets ignored and attempted stealing of an election in Indiana...from the left...creeps up on us too.
Also, Donald Trump decides to go after Ron DeSantis, signaling he's definitely running for President in 2024, all the while reminding us of his worst traits. Talk about dumbest election season ever!
It's Friday and that means best and worst of the week, of which we talk about Kari Lake's brilliant answer to a leftist journalists question about "responsibility" for the death of an officer in the wake of Jan. 6. Grace, class, truth and relatability all rolled in to one. Also, some sports and how many convictions do you need before you actually have to post bail in NYC? Apparently the answer is over 25. We'll also crown a new #RichardOfTheWeek.

As the Biden administration and the Democrats stare down a red tsunami in about a week's time, the President attempts to make the case that a vote for the GOP is a vote to say political violence is acceptable. Only one side has committed violence in the name of politics in America? Me doth think the President has missed a few years in time, like an entire summer where cities across this country burned in the name of political and racial ideology. The bold strategies of the left continue heading in to the mid-term election. Also, how did we get from laughing about the concept of "Men can have periods" just three years ago, to loads of people taking that concept seriously today.

A recent article in The Atlantic has writer Emily Oster telling us that we should just forgive and forget the past two years of panic pushers and coronabros and gals, because they "just didn't know any better." Should forgiveness come before atonement? Also, we attempt to understand what Joe Biden and John Fetterman are talking about. All that & more on a #WTFWednesday edition of the show.

It's a #TruthorFiction Tuesday on the show and we tackle New York Governor Kathy Hochul telling us that crime isn't really that bad, and it's all a GOP conspiracy against Democratic governors. Joe Biden wants us to believe he's created 700,000 new manufacturing jobs and Ron DeSantis gives Lee Zeldin a push in NY governor's race. Also, it's the beginning of Andrew's Birthday month and Pat has a gift for him!
Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, was attacked by a hammer-wielding hippie rando..or so the story was told. What's the reality? We may never fully know, but we explore just how many logical hurdles one must climb over to believe the story the police and team Pelosi are putting out. Also, the President of the United States believes there are 54 states, because of course.
Elon Musk hasn't even had control over Twitter for 24 hours and heads are rolling. Also, Facebook stock is taking a nosedive. Are we about to see a course-correction for social media? Also, how to respond to bible-eaters...because that's a thing now. We also crown a new Richard of the Week and give the best and worst of the week to you.
Gender Theorists have taken over popular culture and academic thought over the last 5 years. Lately, they've taken to objecting to people like Matt Walsh and suggesting that affirming their subjective reality is all that matters. Today, we deep dive on their 4 main objections to our opposition to their theories and subjective reality. In the end, either you believe there is objective reality or not, and if you aren't down to clown with objective reality, I don't have time for you.
With the new Pfizer revelations from a few weeks ago, Ben Shapiro attempts to explain away his support for vaccines in the most gaslight-y way possible. It's also a #WTFWednesday featuring Chinese spies, grocery coupons for jabs and Charlie Crist's debate performance.
It's a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday on the show and we talk about President Joe Biden telling a dude pretending to be a woman that gender-affirming care is both morally and legally right.

Will the Houston Astros or Philadelphia Phillies win the World Series and what about Tim Burton leaving Disney?
Joe Biden went on MSNBC on Sunday and made the case to not vote for him in 2024, not ironically either, he meant it. CDC director Rochelle Walensky got her updated "vaccine" a month ago and she got COVID anyway and the spirit of the age exposes itself on Britain's Channel 4. What an insane weekend we had.

There is not just in a political battle afoot in America, we are at cultural civil war. How do you fight the culture of the Spirit of the Age? Well, Steve Deace laid out 10 rules, or commandments, to do just that. We examine those rules on a #DeepDiveThursday edition of the show.
It's a #WTFWednesday and nothing is more WTF than Pfizer admitting, to a member of the EU Parliament, that it never tested for the ability of its COVID-19 shot to bring immunity against COVID-19. What more proof do we need to rip up their immunity from prosecution and lawsuits? Also, we discuss New England is a state apparently, adult temper-tantrums and the Stanley Cup is given out in October? WTF, indeed.

Andrew flies solo on this #FridayFishFry edition of the show. Joe Biden spent the early part of this week begging the Saudi's to not reduce their oil output.

Also, we crown a new #RichardOfTheWeek and The Fryer gets turned on for stories of murder, "COVID isn't over for the immunocompromised" and much more.

Stacey Abrams shows her spirit of the age pride, while telling a pro-abortion conference that you can't hear a baby's heartbeat at 6 weeks. We discuss that, plus what is the line where the broader American public will say "enough" of this crap. Also, Putin hints at nuclear war, will that actually happen?

Also, Putin ramps up the rhetoric and the troops as Ukraine has pushed the Russian Army back. All of that and a dose of #WTFWednesday for you as well.
Joe Biden told 60 Minutes that the Pandemic was over. It's a total lie, which Andrew exposes on this solo #TruthOrFiction Tuesday.

Andrew also discusses Don Lemon's lame attempt to pin reparations on the British Royal Family.
Joe Biden had a disaster of an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday. We discuss his invitation of war with China, his response to crippling inflation and what he said about running for the Presidency again. Oh and what about our immigration system and the GOP governors latest political stunt?
It's a #FishFryFriday and that means the best and worst of the week, a new Richard of the Week and The Fryer are coming your way. We discuss the GOP about to stab all Christians right in the front on the gay "marriage" bill, GOP governors exposing the libs for the virtue-signaling liars they are and so much more.
Not learning from history could doom America? Have we entered the late American age and if so, what does our future hold? A string of stories from COVID-19 revelations to FBI misconduct and media becoming the attack dog of the Biden administration suggest a very dark future is in the offing.
Joe Biden told us that MAGA Republicans are literal enemies of our country, yet Democrats are propping up and paying to have MAGA Republicans win multiple primaries all over this country.

Andrew flies solo today and talks about the hypocrisy and insanity of the sports media going after Aaron Rodgers. Also discussed is Biden and his White House Press Secretary basically calling Republicans fascists and doubling down on it too. If that's the discord route we're going down, we're heading for some really dark times ahead.
It's a #WTFWednesday on the show and Andrew and Pat are here to discuss the latest in the FBI vs. Donald Trump, where the FBI agent that spiked the Hunter Biden story "resigns" his position and is escorted out of the building.

Pat fills in for Andrew and discusses the depravity of Anthony Fauci and the Biden Administration "student loan forgiveness" aka debt transfer.
It's a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday on the show and we talk about the retirement of The Science™, Dr. Anthony Fauci. What new book titles are on the offing? Will the GOP hold him accountable?

Bad Donald Trump emerges from the shadows of sympathy, Right-wing media wants you to know that you must vote team GOP or the country will die and Spencer Cox believes his woke outreach is what America needs. All that and more on today's #CriticalThinking
America seems more divided than ever, but how do we break through that division? Can we or should we even break through it? What would unity be?

All that on a deep-dive Thursday episode of #CriticalThinking

Andrew welcomes Pat back with an episode full of mockery, ridicule and scorn.
Not only is Dr. Anthony Fauci telling us he's #TheScience, but now he's also #TheTruth too. Also, Deshaun Watson vs. the NFL and what role should the NFL have in punishing players for non-football related, not-yet criminally convicted alleged crimes? Oh and I talk about the real "Western Imperialism" in today's world too.
Joe Biden and the entire White House wants you and I to believe we are experiencing 0% inflation. No seriously. Andrew breaks down why it isn't o.k. to just chalk this up to Biden being out of his mind, why 0% inflation would be a bad thing and why the messaging is all wrong as he flies solo once again.
The FBI raids Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence and all hell breaks loose. Andrew is flying solo as Pat is out with the RONA. What to make of this raid? Was it political, was it personal, was it crossing a bridge that can't be rebuilt? I play a little #TruthOrFiction with Dan Bongino's reaction last night on Fox News.
You get a tax increase, you get a tax increase, we all get a tax increase! Yes, the Inflation Reduction Act passed the Senate after VP Kamala Harris broke a deadlock. We discuss the insanity that is in the bill & we talk about whether or not #FundStudentsNotSystems would actually solve the educational issues in America.

Kansas voted down a state constitutional ban on abortion by 20-plus points earlier this week. Supposedly, deep red, Kansas, did that. Some might call that embarrassing to the pro-life movement, but on today's deep dive, Andrew and Pat actually wonder if this is a good thing. Why? Clarity.
It's no secret that Andrew and Pat are massive sports fans and last night we lost a legend in the sports world, as Dodgers announcer Vin Scully passed away. In his honor, we talk about our Top 5 radio and overall sports announcers of all-time. Also, we mix in some #WTFWednesday for you too.

Joe Biden stopped short of actually naming a "Climate Change Emergency," but he did issue some executive orders to combat the crisis we are facing. His solutions include more energy sucking window A/C units for the poor and offshore wind farms in the middle of the hurricane alley he tells us is so bad we have to combat the climate change or else. Anyone else feel like we're living in the dumbest times in world history? To top it all off, German health officials tell us that 1-in-5,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine has resulted in "serious medical issues" for the people of Germany. Is that bad?
What's an arrest anyway? Well, AOC thinks if she puts her own hands behind her back for the cameras that's it.

The Texas House Commission report on the shooting in Uvalde, TX shows a lot of failure on the part of all those involved in the response. Andrew and Pat break down how the loss of sacrifice in our society is what made an already awful situation even worse. We also talk about insider trading on behalf of Paul and Nancy Pelosi and how two other shootings this weekend show vastly different parts of our society. One good, one the worst of the spirit of the age crowd. Who's Good and Who's Bad anymore?
Joe Biden did the handshake to nobody once again, this time on the international stage, literally. We discuss that, plus we play a little "would you rather," crown a new #RichardOfTheWeek and show you what's wrong with America in one 30-second clip in "The Fryer."
From 'the worst variant ever' to the coronabros and gals of the sports world, the worst of COVID Panic is back with a vengeance. We also speak on how giving and inch means they'll take the mile — on both sides. Also, when does "individualism" stop and duty to others begin? Apparently, some at Reason Magazine believe in a totally libertine society. We take on the difference between libertine anarchy and personal freedom.
Jill Biden attempts to pander to the Hispanic population and it goes all sorts of wrong. Is this the dumbest presidency of all-time? Also, we don't know what the founders meant by the constitution, what's a woman is back and John Bolton casually admits to creating coup d'etat's. It must be a #WTFWednesday and y'all are getting breakfast tacos!
Andrew and Pat are back from vacation and apparently while we were away, The Church of England has decided to tell the world they can't define what a woman is. Also we discuss the latest Hunter/Joe Biden story and so much more.

In the wake of the Dobbs decision that struck down abortion as the law of the land, Andrew and Pat take a look at the concept of judicial supremacy, a charge the left is now leveling against the "right" justices of the Supreme Court. Is Judicial Supremacy a good or bad thing or is it something in between? Also, why are you giving a toss about the Jan. 6 committee and its soap opera of a hearing? Why?
Darren Bailey, a little-known farmer and State Senator, beats a billionaire-backed candidate from the Chicagoland area in the state's GOP Governor Primary Race. Also, we talk Utah primary results and a dose of #WTFWednesday for you too.
It's a #TruthOrFiction Tuesday and we've got some serious questions. Is America on the brink of a breakup? Could the overturning of Roe lead to a blue wave in the fall? Who's dumber, AOC or Elizabeth Warren? Also, what's a back alley abortion doing in the woods? Also, don't forget to check out the debut of Andrew's new podcast — Reviving Liberty – where he gives you the blueprint towards living a liberty-based life and reviving liberty to save the future of this country, if there's a country left to save. https://revivingliberty.com
The pro-life movement got it's biggest victory on Friday, as the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the Casey decision while ruling on a Mississippi ban on abortion. Andrew and Pat discuss the light it shone on life and the left's hatred of the constitution. Can the republic be saved or is it time for divorce since one side doesn't seem to care about the social contract we are supposed to live by in America?

New testimony from the head of the Texas DPS shows multiple instances of negligence and cowardice from those Uvalde Police Officers on the scene of a school shooting. So much so that they even disarmed and detained a fellow officer who attempted to end the shooting on his own.
It's a #WTFWednesday and we'll also talk about a win for religious participation in society and schools, as well as a hot take from Megan Rapinoe and Joe Biden isn't wrong on something.

The housing market is plummeting some 20% according to the Daily Mail, including Andrew's home in Chicago, where prices are down some 3.9%. Is that true?

Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/criticalthinkingshow/message
If you thought Joe Biden was incompetent, may we introduce to you his gaslighting Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her economic insanity? Also, we talk what would it take to stop watching the NFL at all, what jobs we'd have if we could do it all over again and crown a new Richard of the Week.

The NFL is letting us know that "football is gay" all this month, all the while making sure to let us know that anyone who speaks for gun control speaks for them and if you dare think differently you're bad. That plus Texas' 34th district went to the GOP for 1st time in 150-plus years, what does it mean, if anything..and a certain someone caught the VID. Strange how that could happen to a quadruply vaxxed man.

On this #FridayFishFry edition of the show, we ask non-political questions and take on the Richard of the Week as well as throw the worst stories of the week in to The Fryer. One such question we ponder is where would you live if you moved from your current residence and why it's nearly impossible to find true freedom in the world today.
Also, is the left reaping what they sowed with the increased insanity of protests and rhetoric around the Supreme Court? A man attempting to assassinate a Supreme Court justice suggests so, plus Joe Biden goes on Jimmy Kimmel and continues to embarrass himself.
