Critical Thinking with Andrew Coppens

The Oligarchy You Never Knew You Had | 02/01/21

A lot of blame has been placed on capitalism over the past year, but a critical look at what's been happening in almost every aspect of our lives suggests we aren't living in a capitalist society anymore. We discuss that and the dangerous canceling of Trump's lawyers too.

Robinhood Ain't Capitalism | 01/29/21

Robinhood, the investing app, decided they can tell you, the retail investor, when and how you can use your own money to invest. Some are claiming it's illegal, some are claiming it's the sign of failing capitalism. Both are untrue and we'll tell you why on today's show.

Root Yourself in God | 01/28/21

Today, we take root in God, as both our next step towards #RighteousResistance and in our battle against abortion. We are joined today by Mary Taylor, the President of Pro Life Utah, to talk about this weekend's March for Life and the state of the Pro-Life movement in the Biden presidential era.

The Fellowship We Must Form

What's next on the path to #RighteousResistance It's time to think of fellowship, not coalitions. Pat & I also discuss even more lies from teachers unions and the people they've placed in powerful governmental positions. Oh, and it's a #WTFWednesday which means we've got some crazy for you too.

Where Were You GOP? | 01/26/21

HR 1 is all the rage...excuse me, outrage on the right today. You will hear about it on every show, but what you won't hear is how fake this outrage is. You see, the GOP has stood by and watched HR 1 play out right in front of them for years now and they have done nothing about it. We also talk 3rd party potential & step No. 7 on the path to Righteous Resistance.

Kids Over Socialism Please and Thank You | 01/25/21

We hear a lot from teachers about caring about the kids, or doing this or that "for the kids" yet when it comes time to put the kids first for real...teachers unions are more interested in political gains than student lives. We discuss that and Step No. 6 on the path to #RighteousResistance on this episode of #CriticalThinking

Pat for the Pac-12 | 01/22/21

In non-political news, the Pac-12 conference is looking for a new commissioner. Our one and only Pat Oney is throwing his hat in the ring. Support him with #PatForThePac12 Oh, and it's #FridayFishFry time, where weak excuses and even weaker judge rulings go in the deep fryer. Have a great weekend!

The Executive Order Barrage Begins | 01/21/21

Joe Biden is our president, 17 executive orders and a maskless trip to the Lincoln Memorial...it was all in an inauguration day. Leftists cried tears of joy, the alt-right and ANTIFA cried tears of fear and hatred...but all of it is wrong. We discuss that and more on what to do about Big Tech on #CriticalThinking

An Inauguration To Forget | 01/20/21

Joe Biden, despite all the Qanon conspiracy theories, was installed as our 46th President. We don't care much, nor should you...instead, did you know that tens of thousands of people who got the "vaccine" have still gotten sick...in just one country? Did you know that Section 230 may be able to be used against those censoring and altering the deals with Parler and others? We're going to talk about things that really do matter, not what Joe Biden had to say. Also... #BidenInaugurationSoundtra...

Pat is still on the shelf, but Andrew will also bring you through his thoughts on this MLK Day as well as talk about the $1.9 trillion boondoggle of a COVID-19 stimulus package. Let's just say the snark is real today. #CriticalThinking

Support Those Who Don't Insult You | 01/15/21

Today is a #FridayFishFry kind of day, so with me flying solo you'll still get the Fish Fry you've come to love. Also, I'll crown a solo #RichardOfTheWeek (ROTW for future reference). But, of course, I'll also unveil the 5th step on the path to Righteous Resistance and it's actually something that some of us are very familiar with. Have a great weekend!

Going on Offense | 01/14/21

Today's show is a solo show, as Pat is out for a few days. So, enjoy getting deeper than usual with me, Andrew. I'll talk about a great question Austin Petersen asked earlier this week around what we do about Big Tech. Also, I'll unveil Step No. 4 on the path to righteous resistance. Join me for some #CriticalThinking today!

Be Prepared to Shine a Light | 01/13/21

We're back and today is a double dose of #RighteousResistance steps you can take...knowledge we should gain on as we attempt light out of darkness. We'll look at steps 2 & 3 of our path forward. It's also #WTFWednesday starring Twitter & website censorship.

Knowing What you Believe In, For Real | 01/12/21

Over the next few weeks we are going to get you set up with a plan...a plan for righteous resistance to all things leftism, censorship and all that fun stuff. We will also give you tactics to root yourself in while taking those steps. Enjoy some real #CriticalThinking

Censor This | 01/11/21

Big Tech Censorship rears its ugly head in the most dramatic way ever. We discuss & we give you a look at some ways forward. Let's just say the path we are on is America, the idea, ruined. It can't stand. We won't let it.

TGIF? Really, can we say that after this week? Seems a great time to fire up the fryer and stick the worst of the week in the fryer!! It's the #FridayFishFry for the 1st time in 2021. We'll also hit the reset button on our theme for 2021...because we want to avoid any confusion.

The United Socialist States of America | 01/06/21

Waking up to both senate races in Georgia going to radical leftists, are we now living in the USSA? We'll discuss how we got here, where we go and how the Babylon Bee can save us all. It's all in a #WTFWednesday edition of #CriticalThinking

Georgia on Our Mind | 01/05/21

Georgia's dueling runoffs hold the balance of power in the Senate in their hands. Yet, some "conservatives" believe sitting out to protest a different election's alleged rigged results is the way to go. We discuss a difficult situation & more today on #CriticalThinking

We Are the Constitution's Last Hope | 12/18/20
