Welcome to another episode of the Andy Beshear Podcast! It’s Episode 17 and we’ve got not just one – but two – southern Democratic governors on the mic. We discuss the tariff troubles, bipartisanship vs. nonpartisanship, and welcome back our very special guest, First Lady Britainy Beshear (and Winnie! 🐾)

Our guest this week is former two-term Louisiana governor, John Bel Edwards. Governor Edwards answers Andy’s most frequently asked question: how did you win as a Democrat in a red state? His answer might surprise you. They talk all things Medicaid, doing the right thing even when it’s hard and the importance of righting historic wrongs every chance you get.

📰​​ ​​Next, John and Jon sat down with Andy to talk recent headline highlights. How will the new tariff deals impact Americans? Will it really cost our families an additional $2,900 a year? From gutting Medicaid to FEMA cuts— we’re talking about the real costs of putting politics and profit over our people.

🎙️ In this week’s In My Kentucky Accent, Andy shares what’s on his heart and mind. Sure, bipartisanship is important but what we really need is more nonpartisanship. A good job isn’t Democrat or Republican. A bridge isn’t red or blue, unless we paint it that way. Our first question should be will it work to improve lives? Not will it be a win for one party or the other.

It’s that time again for Ask Andy, plus Britainy and Winnie! Well... Winnie mostly just looks cute, so don't forget to catch the video version of this episode on YouTube. Kentucky’s First Couple shares favorite summer reads, secret superpowers, and a very Kentucky elevator pitch.

Around here, it’s all about curiosity over conflict and connection over controversy. Dive on into Episode 17 – and hit subscribe wherever you’re listening! And don’t forget to leave a review if you like what you’re hearing.
