Critical Thinking with Andrew Coppens

Changing the Socialism Debate | 03/25/21

Sick of the old "ya, but that's not real socialism" debate? Sick of the circular logic and no one agreeing on anything? Well, our friends at FEE have given us a way to change the argument and stop playing on their playing field.

Change the Gun Control Debate | 03/24/21

A total richard killed 10 people in Boulder, Colorado earlier this week & we've seen the same gun control & don't tread on my rights debate happen once again. How is it possible that the GOP and the right in general is missing the entire point? We discuss that & bring you another #WTFWednesday edition of the show.

Noem is Scott Walker | 03/23/21

Kristi Noem reminds me so much of Scott Walker after she decided to veto the bill...and yes, screw her semantics...it's literally a veto, just a different form of veto. We also talk about sports and fans in the stands as well as the GOP missing the free-market boat

Hate Crime Hysteria | 03/22/21

A 150% increase in anti-Asian hate crimes? America we have a problem. It's just not the problem the media tells you we have. We explore what the data tells us about hate crimes vs. media hysteria. Also, Pat hides in shame...doesn't even show up, much like his Buckeyes. All in a day's #CriticalThinking

Paul vs. Fauci | 03/19/21

Sen. Rand Paul got in to a bit of a fiery exchange on Thursday and the responses to what went down tell us a whole lot about our media. We discuss that & the validation of our point in the 2020 election — it was being stolen by illegal rule and law changes. It's also #FridayFishFry time!

Critical Thinking - 20210318

Inculcation vs. Indoctrination | 03/18/21

How is it possible that a writer got our education system problem right....way back in 1955? We discuss that and Pat gives us an update as to the nature of politics in his state of Utah. Life is great, nothing to see here. #CriticalThinking

Teachers on the Attack | 03/17/21

Teachers in Loudon County are on the attack if you dare to voice an opinion different than there's on things like Critical Race Theory and "equity". It's all in another #WTFWednesday edition of #CriticalThinking

A Year to Flatten the Curve | 03/16/21

It's been a year since Our Lord, Savior, Dr., President Anthony Fauci and his crack team told us it was 15 days to flatten the curve. Where have we gone, what has happened? Everyone is asking those questions...but we have a different question for you to think about. We also dive in to the NCAA tournament and our picks for the tourney. #CriticalThinking #15DaystoFlattenTheCurve

The Zero-Risk Society | 03/12/21

Joe Biden addressed the nation, coddling us and telling us we must live in a zero-risk society in order for us to get back to normal. It's also the #FridayFishFry and of course we crown a new #RichardOfTheWeek

Reading Books is Now Canceled | 03/11/21

The #CTBookClub meets again, as we discuss the final part of George Orwell's book, 1984. We also discuss what the senate hid in the Covid-19 bill that may affect your pocketbook, reading books now gets you cancelled and Cuomo has another accuser which the media appears to be hiding from the public.

Critical Thinking - 20210310

The Church of Me | 03/10/21

BYU gets protested by those who don't like their honor code, yet signed it anyway. What gives in the world of woke church? We explore that & of course it's a #WTFWednesday on the show, so prepare for insanity from Joe Biden and others.

Vaccine or Else | 03/09/21

The city of Charlottesville tells its employees get a vaccine or else, in official language no less. Social Distancing turns in to an epic fight in Arizona and Biden can't seem to recall the name of his own Secretary of Defense. #CriticalThinking

Gig Workers Get The Shaft | 03/08/21

What do "gig workers" and the Covid relief bill have to do with one another? You might assume nothing, but you would be wrong. Join us on #CriticalThinking as we talk that and much more to start your week. #TaxationIsTheft #DrSeussPoem

Critical Thinking - 20210305

Brought to you by myocarditis | 03/05/21

Remember the big scare in sports over myocarditis? Turns out it was bunk, just like 99% of the fear-mongering headlines around COVID-19. We discuss that and of course we have the #FridayFishFry for you as well! Enjoy your weekend starting with us.

Cuomo's Apology Tour Begins | 03/04/21

Andrew Cuomo apologized for "I didn't know it was inappropriate," inappropriate behavior. Either he's a sociopath or he really means it. We discuss. Planned Parenthood had a record year, Pat & I break down what your taxpayer funding of abortion is getting you and we chat about the Neanderthals in Texas and Mississippi, according to Joe Biden.

Cancel Culture & Dr. Seuss | 03/03/21

Some believe Dr. Seuss was cancelled earlier this week. It's a #WTFWednesday and we say WTF to the notion that he or his books were cancelled at all. Andrew & Pat discuss what "being cancelled" really means & why the right needs to stop playing victim. Also on today's show, we discuss the duty we have to demand schools reopen and still rail against their indoctrination. Oh, and the right is still believing the lie of "if we just have the house, senate & Presidency"

The Daily Pass to Hell | 03/02/21

Los Angeles Unified School District requires a Daily Pass to get your kid back to school. It's video explaining it is a dystopian hell as you might expect. It's also a #TruthOrFictionTuesday on the show, as we debut the newest segment, where Pat and I give a statement and we discuss if it's the truth or utter fiction.

A Win for the Constitution? | 03/01/21

There was a win for the Constitution late last week...one with some really big consequences for our society. Why is no one talking about it? We do & we also give you the dichotomy of response to cancel culture by 2 different multi-national corporations. Welcome to a new month and a new week of #CriticalThinking

What in the World Utah | 02/26/21

We share an update to Andrew's story from yesterday here in Chicago and Pat tells us about Utah's RINO's coming out en masse over the past few weeks. It's also a #FridayFishFry and we'll crown a final #RichardOfTheWeek for the month of February.

IL's 'Criminal Justice Reform' w/ Dominick Izzo | 02/25/21

Join us today as we talk all things local. What if I told you that an alderman blocked a new school coming in to a National Historical Registry school in favor of a 28-story glass high rise? What if that same Alderman worked for & is funded by the CTU? What if I told you his chief of staff gets in to screaming matches with the people they are there to serve? Oh, it happened and it's time to use this platform to oust him from office. We'll be joined by Dominck Izzo of the Rants of Izzo (7pm E...

WTF Jen Psaki? | 02/24/21

It's a #WTFWednesday here on #CriticalThinking and Jen Psaki's insanity is put front and center. We also explain some more the direction of the show and Venezuela privatizing businesses.

Mike Lee's Big Lie | 02/23/21

Mike Lee wanted Merrick Garland to denounce the racism of the AG in charge of the Civil Rights division. There's just one problem...Mike Lee's premise is built on a lie.

Texas, Florida & Narratives | 02/22/21

Texas begins to unthaw and the power comes back on. But, narratives haven't left...from the left. We explore how the right's weakness continues to get the best of them & how Disney sees Kermit & the rest of the muppets as the problem. Isn't America magical & not at all broken? #CriticalThinking

TIME Tells Us the Truth About 2020 Election | 02/08/21

TIME Magazine published a piece outlining how the 2020 election was "saved." There's just one problem...it was the truth about how this election was actually rigged. I'd say we told you so, but I don't want to beat a dead horse or anything...plus we talk about how fighting for truth using science doesn't matter when your opponents are only using science for their political gain. #CriticalThinking

BofA Selling You Out | 02/05/21

Bank of America has been turning over info to the FBI without your knowledge, consent or a warrant. This is a violation of step No. 6 on our path to Righteous Resistance and a great example of the Oligarchy we are living through. It is also a #FishFryFriday and we crown our #RichardOfTheWeek

Critical Thinking - 20210204

Critical Thinking Book Club | 02/04/21

Yes, it's time, as we debut the Critical Thinking book club, where we read and discuss a book in-depth. We're starting with Part 1 of 1984 by George Orwell. Oh, and CPS once again kicks in-person classes down the road and AOC is proven to be a liar.

Corporate Socialism Coming Your Way | 02/03/21

What if I told you that socialism wasn't coming to America via government? What if I told you corporations would hoist it upon us whether we like it or not? I present to you the case for stakeholder capitalism really being corporate-forced socialism. It is also a #WTFWednesday and we've got plenty of craziness coming your way!

The Lincoln Project's Got A Problem | 02/02/21

The Lincoln Project projected its moral outrage on to anyone that dared to be a Trump supporter. Cancelling them from society in any form was their game...except they had a pederast in their midsts and it's time to apply step No. 6 to them — make them eat their own stuff. We also talk Crowder vs. Facebook and Catholics for Choice?
