Governor Jared Polis, Attorney General Rayfield, and Protecting Free Speech

Welcome back to the Andy Beshear Podcast, a proud member of the SiriusXM Podcast Network. This week marks our 25th episode—and while silver is the traditional gift, we’re bringing you something even better: solid gold conversations. 🥇

First up, Andy sits down in Colorado with Governor Jared Polis, a tech entrepreneur turned public servant known for his bold ideas, record investments in education, and (yes) an enviable sneaker collection. 👟 They dive into what inspired his shift from business to politics, how the Affordable Care Act reshaped healthcare, and why governors are uniquely positioned to cut through partisan noise and deliver results.

Next, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield joins our brand-new segment Statement of the Case to unpack the Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs. ⚖️ He explains the legal fight, the economic fallout, and why this case could reshape how emergency powers are used.

💬 And rounding it out, Andy reunites with friends John Rabinowitz and John McConnell for a wide-ranging conversation about free speech, threats to democracy, the impact of skyrocketing visa fees, and the leadership moments America needs most. Plus, we're back with Ask Andy covering Star Wars, ice cream, Rand Paul, and the good amongst the bad.

It’s action-packed, thoughtful, and candid — a perfect reflection of the conversations that matter most right now.
