Gov. Andy Beshear on Fighting Trump, Winning Red States, and the Future of the Democratic Party

Gov. Andy Beshear stopped by our studio to sit down with Jon Favreau for a wide-ranging conversation about how Trump’s tariffs are hurting Kentuckians, why his policies are bad for America, and what Democrats need to do next. Beshear also shares how he’s managed to win in a deep red state, the lessons the party can learn from his success, and what’s next for both him and the country.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.
