A State of the Union Special! full 72e46a1e-fa82-4111-874a-dffe8494d8ee https://share.transistor.fm/s/8e602e0f In Episode 99 of Andrew and Jerry Save The World, Andrew Langer and Jerry Rogers break down what they call one of the most politically consequential State of the Union addresses in modern history. From the President’s unapologetic defense of border security and deportations to his strategic challenge to Democrats on prioritizing American citizens over illegal aliens, Andrew and Jerry dissect the speech’s political theater, policy substance, and midterm implications.

The hosts analyze the partisan response—particularly Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger’s rebuttal—and question whether Democrats are leaning fully into an anti-Trump strategy rather than offering a governing vision. They examine media double standards, the role of misinformation narratives, and what they see as the collapse of traditional journalistic guardrails.

The conversation then widens to major policy battles ahead: voter ID and the SAVE Act, immigration enforcement, the filibuster fight, tariff authority, Chevron deference, regulatory reform, and the Supreme Court’s impact on executive power. Andrew and Jerry debate where Republicans must stay disciplined—and where they risk undermining their own momentum through policy missteps like price controls or poorly framed legislation.

With the 2026 midterms already looming, Episode 99 is both a post–State of the Union autopsy and a strategic roadmap. The message is clear: momentum matters, consistency matters, and if Republicans fail to capitalize on 80–20 issues like voter ID and border enforcement, the political tide could turn quickly.

Sharp, spirited, and deeply policy-driven, this episode captures Andrew and Jerry at their most candid—frustrated, focused, and determined to “save the world,” one debate at a time.

Dr. Pitts explains how hospital consolidation, private equity influence, and opaque billing practices have created a crisis where profit often trumps patient care. Together, they take aim at the myth of the benevolent nonprofit hospital, expose the billions spent on lobbying, and call out the regulatory failure to enforce even basic price transparency laws.

After Dr. Pitts departs, Andrew and Jerry pivot to a deeply troubling story out of Charlotte, NC: the brutal murder of a young Ukrainian refugee by an individual who had been released on bond despite facing serious prior charges. The hosts connect this tragedy to the broader collapse of law and order in American cities and question why progressive leaders continue to prioritize political narratives over public safety. They explore how DEI ideology has seeped into every major institution—from hospitals to law enforcement—and how it’s contributing to institutional dysfunction and a dangerous erosion of public trust.

Blending policy insight, cultural critique, and principled outrage, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about where the country is headed—and what must be done to save it.

The episode kicks off with a light-hearted take on Trump's now-iconic sign-off, “Thank you for your attention to this matter,” before diving deep into serious issues—from foreign policy to domestic dysfunction.

Andrew and Jerry analyze Trump’s recent strike on Iran, the media’s apocalyptic overreaction, and the bizarre claim that America is living under tyranny. They call out the double standards of the legacy media and progressive elites, noting that policies executed under Trump spark outrage while identical actions under Biden are ignored—or celebrated. The hosts highlight the hypocrisy around military authority, judicial overreach, and the unhinged discourse from anti-Trump voices who’ve abandoned logic and consistency.

The conversation then shifts to immigration, cultural decay, and the consequences of a political class that no longer respects American principles. They question whether Democrats are embracing far-left extremism at the cost of reason and national unity, citing recent political wins by anti-Israel, socialist candidates. The episode closes with a spirited debate over whether the country is reaching a cultural breaking point or if a common-sense majority still has the power to reclaim the narrative.

Holtz-Eakin expresses skepticism over the Biden Administration’s latest trade and tariff policies—what some dubbed “Liberation Day”—arguing they amount to a $500–$600 billion tax increase with damaging implications for economic growth, inflation, and America’s farming sector.

The discussion pivots to regulatory policy, highlighting the staggering $1.8 trillion in regulatory costs added under President Biden, contrasted with the deregulatory success of the first Trump administration. Holtz-Eakin cautions against the current sequencing of economic policy—leading with tariffs instead of first tackling tax and regulatory reform—and emphasizes the importance of revisiting trade agreements to address unfair barriers facing American exporters, especially farmers.

They also unpack recent moves to reduce the federal workforce. Holtz-Eakin critiques past approaches but supports the current plan empowering agency heads to make strategic, legally compliant cuts. He debunks myths about federal employment levels, noting they remain close to Reagan-era numbers, and argues that downsizing can be done responsibly—citing the Clinton-era example of 400,000 job reductions without major disruption.

This is a must-listen for anyone interested in economic strategy, regulatory reform, and the inner workings of federal governance.

They dive into the media-driven narrative surrounding mental health, political hysteria, and Donald Trump. Kicking off with Andrew’s recent appearance on Square Off, the duo deconstructs how legacy media’s alarmism is fueling anxiety and depression across America—not Trump himself.

They unpack the latest legal developments in the case of an illegal immigrant living in Maryland being deported to El Salvidor, reigniting the debate over immigration, due process, and the constitutional powers of government. Andrew recounts a spirited online exchange and uses it to explain why understanding the limits of government authority is more essential than ever.

Jerry joins the conversation to celebrate his birthday and to share thoughts on Trump’s strategic push to force judicial clarity on executive power, trade, and immigration. Together, they skewer media hyperbole (with a detour into the “Wheel of Trump” theory), dismantle Elizabeth Warren’s conspiracy claims on tariffs, and reflect on why today’s America is increasingly ill-equipped to handle crisis.

They tackle the contentious legacy of Reagan-era trade policies, unravel the complexity behind Trump's current economic moves, and discuss why free trade doesn't always mean fair trade—especially when dealing with geopolitical rivals like China. Andrew shares insights on how regulatory costs play a crucial yet overlooked role in economic health, arguing that tariffs can't be viewed in isolation.

It's the first of May, and not only is May Day a traditional communist "holiday", but it's also a signal of someone or some thing in distress. Like America.

Then it's the Trump trials, and the legitimacy of handcuffind Donald Trump to a courtroom chair.  What this means for election 2024  - whether Biden will be the candidate, whether there will be a Trump/Biden debate, and what effect will RFK, Jr. actually have on the race.  What do the current polls mean - and what could shift them between now and November.

Plus, a discussion of the economy, a new report on regulatory costs from the American Action Forum, and the contrasted record on regulations between Obama, Trump and Biden.

But do the issues matter?  And does it matter who the Republican candidate in 2024 is - that regardless of whether or not Donald Trump is the nominee, will the election just be about Donald Trump?  How long will American politics be all about Donald Trump - and what sets the modern era apart from, say, the post-Watergate era?

Moreover, IF the election is going to be all about Donald Trump and Trump is the inevitable nominee, should Republicans just embrace that fact, lean into it, and work to defeat Joe Biden?

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.

The DOJ is going full-bore against pro-life activists, while at the same time laying-up on politically-inconvenient prosecutions.  A father defends his son and is initially charged with assault, but those charges are later dismissed. Then 30 FBI agents in SWAT gear show up to arrest him.  Yet a week later, a transgender Army major and his wife are accused of trying to offer military secrets to the Russians. No SWAT team, no charge of espionage or treason, and they're released with ankle monitors.

At the same time, the DOJ refuses to prosecute people harassing Supreme Court justices with violating clear federal law.

They talk at length about the politicization of the law, how it has been weaponized against dissent--with the intent of chilling alternative viewpoints.  They talk about the Obama Administration's usage of this, and how it has been refined for today's world--especially with the mid-term elections upon us.

But who can blame them in a world where the President is constantly inventing new realities for his biography?  How does the left's obsession with gender and children play into this--and why is it that there are so many more "trans" kids in urban areas than in the rest of America.  Also, a new survey is out regarding the relationship between politics and mental health...  who is more satisfied with their mental health, conservatives or liberals?  Republicans or Democrats?

Finally, they have a conversation about Saturday Night Live.  Why was SNL in the early 80s so terrible?  Is it true that the best cast is the one when you were an adolescent?  What year(s) were best, and who was their favorite cast member?

But who can blame them in a world where the President is constantly inventing new realities for his biography?  How does the left's obsession with gender and children play into this--and why is it that there are so many more "trans" kids in urban areas than in the rest of America.  Also, a new survey is out regarding the relationship between politics and mental health...  who is more satisfied with their mental health, conservatives or liberals?  Republicans or Democrats?

Finally, they have a conversation about Saturday Night Live.  Why was SNL in the early 80s so terrible?  Is it true that the best cast is the one when you were an adolescent?  What year(s) were best, and who was their favorite cast member?

Are reporters biased? Lazy? Both?

And what kinds of biases are there?  How are the many ways that narratives can get molded?

Oh, and after Tim leaves, Andrew and Jerry talk TV... Andrew has new show recommendations, Jerry thinks the Star Wars universe has jumped the Shark, and Andrew has decided he hates HBO's House of the Dragon.

Bound up in this is a debate over the future of the Republic - can it be saved, or has it already been lost, and just what this all means for the mid-term elections.  What should Republicans be focusing on going into 2022 and 2024, and how should they strategize?

Finally, some fun talk about new shows - Jerry revisits his appraisal of whether the original Top Gun holds up, they talk about the Clint Eastwood comedy, "Every Which Way But Loose", and offer some thoughts on the new Game of Thrones series, "House of the Dragon".

They talk about gas prices, and how the proposed federal gas tax holiday could actually have the opposite affect for consumers.

Finally, is it weird for couples to go on "couple dates" with other couples?  Andrew doesn't think so, but Jerry does.  And the Baz Luhrmann's Elvis movie is being released - will Jerry (a massive Elvis fan) go see it?  And Andrew advances a possible theory as to why the film is being panned.

Burt is a long-time TV producer and journalist, who worked on "A Current Affair" and was the author of the celebrated book, "Tabloid Baby".

Andrew listens as Jeff and Burt tell stories about those who died performing... like actor Dick Shawn, Harry "Parkyakarkus" Einstein (father of Albert Brooks and Bob "Super Dave Osborne" Einstein), and others.  They have an in-depth discussion of the "art" of bullet catching--and how dangerous stunts can turn deadly.

But they also talk about Jeff and Burt's careers - Jeff tells a story about being yelled at by Paul Anka, Burt talks about trying to get Buddy Hackett for a courtroom TV show.  They talk about their love of Jerry Lewis, Jeff's world-reknowned collection of comedy albums, and their shared love of New York City TV shows (each has their favorite host of the Channel 5 staple, Wonderama!).

We're joined by noted free speech expert and co-founder of the Volokh Conspiracy, UCLA Law School professor Eugene Volokh!  We tackle the thorny question of how to protect free speech without curtailing the rights of others.  We also revisit the Russia-Ukraine crisis in light of the weekend's events, and Andrew talks about his problems with the season premiere of Billions!

Plus, Andrew offers a short review of Marvel's "The Eternals".

They talk federalism, deference, the concept of the police power.  All three make predictions as to just how the court will rule on the Biden administrations various vaccine mandates--and why each of the mandates is viewed somewhat differently.

They also pay tribute to Bob Saget on his untimely passing, and celebrate the birthday of The King, Elvis Presley.
