Episode 12: Governor Josh Stein, Diversity and Military Strikes on Iran
It’s Episode 12—and we’re not holding back.
This week, we’re joined by North Carolina Governor Josh Stein, a longtime friend and former fellow Attorney General. From flipping red seats blue to leading recovery efforts after natural disasters, Governor Stein breaks down what it really means to make government work for the people—and why common-sense leadership still matters.
We talk clean energy jobs, Medicaid expansion, and how the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” could derail critical programs like SNAP and FEMA while ballooning the national debt. Governor Stein also reflects on what it means to be immune to the toxicity of politics, and why disagreement doesn’t mean division.
Meanwhile, the Johns are fired up. We’re talking national security, the latest military strike on Iran, and what it means to ask patriotic questions about presidential decisions. Andy reminds us that we can support our troops and hold our leaders accountable—and that protecting democracy means participating in it.
🎙️ In this week’s In My Kentucky Accent, Andy takes on a tough topic: how the word “diversity” is being twisted into something it’s not. He reflects on why diversity is a strength—not a weakness—and shares his belief that our democracy is stronger when more voices are heard and more seats are pulled up to the table. He also discusses the importance of honoring Juneteenth, not only as a recognition of the end of slavery but as a celebration of the vital contributions African Americans have made to shaping this country.
