Colin Allred, ICE and Doing the Right Thing When It's Hard

In this brand-new episode in the Primed for 2026 series, Andy is joined by former NLF player and congressman Colin Allred – running for Texas' freshly gerrymandered District 33.

From ground zero of gerrymandering in Texas, Colin talks about the importance of restoring trust in democracy and what exactly it looks like to put impact over ego, including his decision to shift from a Senate run back to a congressional race in one of Texas’ newest districts. It’s a frank conversation about doing the right thing, even when it’s hard. Colin talks about growing up with a single mom who was a teacher, how that shaped his commitment to working families, and why meeting people where they are isn’t just a slogan, it’s a strategy. And it's working!

Next, Andy and the Jo(h)ns break down the week’s biggest stories, from escalating tensions over Greenland and the implications for NATO to protests following the tragic fatal ICE shooting and growing questions around accountability. We also talk the role of other branches of government in checking Donald Trump’s power, including recent Supreme Court and Senate actions. Are the other branches finally fighting back?

From tough political moments to reminders of our shared humanity, this episode looks at where we are and where we can go next. Listen now to the Andy Beshear Podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts. And don't forget to send us to a friend!
