Andrew and Jerry Save The World!

Talk radio legend Cameron Gray suddenly and unexpectedly passed away this past weekend.  Folks knew him from his work as a G. Gordon Liddy producer, from his appearances on the Don and Mike Show, and then, later from his work with Cam Edwards and John Popp on "Cam & Company" for NRA TV and SiriusXM Patriot 125.

He was a good friend to AJSTW host, Andrew Langer, and here, Andrew offers a tribute to Cameron as the introduction to the reissue of an episode from the old LangerCast, in which Cameron sat in with Andrew and Jerry.  The title of the show is "Everyone Hates Langer" because Cameron posed the question as to WHY people hate Andrew... as he discovered in a conversation with someone all three men knew.

With an indictment of Donald Trump promised by not one, but TWO prosecutors, and a possible arrest coming, Andrew and Jerry use these circumstances to underscore the erosion of the rule of law in America.  What's at stake in this case, and why is the New York City prosecution of Trump so unprecedented that even NeverTrumpers are raising serious objections to it?  They talk about how we got here, what's happened in the last 15 years where progressives can use their law enforcement powers to achieve political ends--especially when it comes to getting rid of an opposition, whether it's an opposing movement, an opposing organization, or an opposing candidate.  How has the law been weaponized, and how have the elites used this weaponization to sidestep the Constitution?  They talk ESG, DEI, the decline or meritocracy--and what happens when scientists get hounded from their positions for voicing skepticism on issues like Covid19 and Climate Change!

Plus, someone has a birthday, and Jerry tells a story of how the increase in crime in New York City manifested itself personally over the Saint Patrick's Day weekend!

We're back from CPAC, and Andrew has some thanks and a mea culpa to Jerry. Then they dive right in on the destructive nature of the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement ( DEI ).  The gradual nature of DEI's adherents, how DEI imposition accellerated under Barack Obama and after the death of George Floyd. Did those who advanced these theories in the 1960s and into the 1980s know where this was all going to lead?  How does DEI (and its corporate counterpart, ESG) game the system and allow corruption to take hold?

Then they pivot into intersectionality and the LGBTQIA+ agenda.  Jerry makes a declaration as to how he's going to view the language of the left in the future.  How is society destroying kids, and what does this mean for America in the years to come?

On a different note, what defines a true Irish bar?  Andrew and Jerry both watched (most of) Chris Rock's Baltimore Netflix special... they share their thoughts.

It's day 2 of CPAC, and Andrew and Jerry are LIVE again from Radio Row!  After discussions of whether Andrew got scammed out of paying someone else's bar bill, and whether Manhattan should be referred to by it's proper name or generically "The City", they're joined by Michael Whatley, Chairman of the NC Republican Party and RNC General Counsel, Paul Teller from Advancing American Freedom, Melissa Ortiz from the National Center for Policy Research, Donna Jackson from Project 21, Tony Schaffer from the London Center for Public Policy and Project Sentinel, Manuel Rosales from the Job Creators Network, and AJSTW fan, James Kane!

It's Day 1 of CPAC 2023, and Andrew and Jerry are LIVE from Radio Row!  They talk about CPAC memories, recap some of the events that have already happened.  Andrew gives Jerry a gift in honor of Irish American Heritage Month. They're joined by radio host Mary Walter, producer extraordinaire John Popp, Charlie Sauer from the Market Institute, Steve Gruber from the Steve Gruber Show, and Phil Kerpen from American Committment, the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, and Committment to Seniors!

It's Lent, and Jerry and Andrew talk about their Mardi Gras celebrations.  Jerry's never been hungover, and Andrew tells the story of the time he and his brothers did an imitation of The Who at an Indiana Ramada Inn.

Substantively, we're at the one year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and it seems Joe Biden is doing his best to turn even the most-stalwart conservative supporters of Ukraine against him. Is there an end goal for the US in its involvement in Ukraine? Why hasn't Joe Biden implemented the fullest measure of sanctions?  Just what CAN the US do to thwart not only Russia's continued assault on Ukraine, but to keep the Chinese out of the conflict? And once again, Trump was right... about Russia, about German energy policy, about a host of things - yet the left is perpetuating the meme that Trump was pro-Putin.

The lack of understanding of the history of US/Russia relations leads into a discussion of the implementation of diversity, equity, and inclusion ( DEI ) policies throughout the US--and the denial that Critical Race Theory ( CRT ) is being taught to US students.  There is direct harm that is being caused within US society from these divisive policies--and then there are the indirect harms, including the gaslighting of Americans.  Jerry has a brilliant insight into the fundamental flaw in the theories being advanced by the 1619 Project, one which speaks to why America is and has been a force for good, why the principles the nation was founded on are the right principles, and that America's success is due to these policies and not the addled theories of the 1619 Project.

As the show starts to close, Jerry tells a poignant anecdote about a family member's student teaching experience in Washington, DC this week.  This leads into an intense discussion of whether students should be separated by academic achievement or all mixed together, and Andrew tells the story of how such a debate almost 40 years ago led him to leaving public schools, and the legacy for his childhood school system today.

John Lennon said, "There's UFOs over New York, and I ain't too surprised."  Well, nobody told us there'd be days like these, with UFO's being shot down in Alaska, the Yukon and the Great Lakes!  Andrew and Jerry talk about this story - what's being discussed, what isn't being discussed, and absent leadership on the part of Team Biden.  This dovetails into the failure of the US media, a discussion of what killed intellectual curiousity, and how the elites in America don't really want to solve the nation's problems.  Policy is different than politics, and there are those who want to perpetuate the nation's problems since it gives them more power.  We have train derailments across the US, food processing plants going up in flames, and other suspicious activities that make one wonder if all of these things aren't connected to the Chinese launching a balloon to cross North America.  Andrew and Jerry talk corruption and the troubling stories coming out of places like Baltimore - and is America in an era in which we want to blame anyone or anything other than people who are committing misdeeds.  What does the push towards greater conformity and permissiveness mean to the psyche of young women?

It's the big 5-O for Andrew and Jerry Save The World!  Fifty episodes in and the gents do it in style - live from the studios at the Heritage Foundation with longtime show friend and legend in the radio world, John Popp, producing (and joining!).  After a discussion of why everyone hates Langer (revisiting an old LangerCast theme), Andrew and Jerry dive headfirst into the State of The Union.  It was just plain weird, and they explain why.  Jerry has a thought as to what they ought to do for the SOTU moving forward (at least in the near term) and they talk about the many lies and gaffes in this year's speech.  They talk about the Chinese Spy Balloon and just what everyone is getting wrong.  Once again, proprietors are kicking conservative patrons out in the name of kowtowing to their woke customers, and Andrew and Jerry discuss the dangers inherent in this.  There's some talk about theology and the origin of the universe.  They talk about a movie called "Midnight Madness" and their first R-rated movies.  And then Jerry talks about The Last of Us, and how he may be already done with the show, 3 episodes in.  This then leads do a discussion of the Zombie apocolypse, and whether it is already upon us!

Following last week's hot discussion of Mike Pence and classified documents, Andrew and Jerry return to form with an in-depth discussion of the issue of "privilege".  Tying together this week's hottest news stories:  the savage beating and killing of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, the aquittal of a pro-life activist in federal court in Philadelphia, the Associated Press continuing to try and fundamentally reshape the english language, Andrew and Jerry weave a much-deeper story of how the progressive left has, for decades, used a variety of tools:  privilege, institutional racism, the racial resentment index, DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) to undermine the fabric of classical liberal democracy.  Nikita Krushchev said, "We will be at your funeral" - and whether it is the inclusion of modern "zampolits" (political officers) in all kinds of institutions to the infiltration of marxist theory into christian theology, Krushchev may have been prophetic!

Well, kind of...  What was supposed to be a discussion of what's happening in the new Congress turned into an extensive discussion of former Vice President Mike Pence and the discovery of classified material in his Indiana home.

Andrew and Jerry have a lengthy discussion of the story - whether this disqualifies Pence from running for President in 2024, how this story is distinguished from the cases of Joe Biden, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.  Are there mitigating circumstances or how does this figure into the overall issue of different levels of justice.  

Then there's the question of transformative versus managerial political leadership - and where does Pence fall into this.  What is Pence's record as a congressman or governor, and what issues were his own.  How does this figure into the field of candidates for 2024?  And what of the political "grifter" class?  Is that the main distinguishing element - the grifters versus the managers versus the transformers?

One of the hottest discussions/debates/arguments in the history of the podcast - not to be missed!
