The Andrew Parker Podcast

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew speaks from the heart—and from the epicenter of what he describes as a profound collapse of law, order, and good governance.

Broadcast from downtown Minneapolis, Andrew examines how progressive political leadership has transformed what was once one of America’s most well-run cities into ground zero for anarchy, insecurity, and civic breakdown. He connects local unrest, opposition to law enforcement, and defiance of federal immigration laws to a broader national pattern—one that he argues puts public safety, national security, and democratic norms at ris...

Renowned British journalist and author Melanie Phillips joins Andrew Parker for a wide-ranging, fearless conversation about the West’s crisis of truth, the rise of ideological coercion, and why Judeo-Christian foundations still matter in a secular age.

They begin with Phillips’ experience being “canceled before cancel culture,” her break with legacy media orthodoxy, and why the loss of confidence in objective truth has left institutions unable to distinguish reality from propaganda. From the David Irving vs. Deborah Lipstadt trial to today’s revisionism on Israel and antisemitism, Phillips argues we are living through a full-sca...

In this timely and wide-ranging conversation, Andrew Parker is joined by former Congressman and presidential candidate Dean Phillips to examine the moral, political, and institutional challenges facing the United States as 2026 begins.

Andrew and Dean begin with the global rise of antisemitism and its role as a warning sign of moral decay throughout history. They discuss how antisemitism, extremism, and ideological intolerance have re-entered public discourse—and why leaders across the political spectrum have failed to confront it with clarity and resolve.

The conversation expands to immigration, radical ideologies, isolationism, and America’s responsibility to defe...

In the final episode of 2025, Andrew Parker delivers a comprehensive year-in-review, examining the ten defining events that reshaped America, the West, and the global order.

Andrew unpacks the resurgence of Islamist extremism, the war against Israel, the West’s retr...

Tucker Carlson argues that Israel is a liability to the United States. He’s wrong.

 In Episode 447 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker explains—point by point—why Israel is not only a critical ally, but America’s strongest and most reliable partner on the world stage.

Andrew explores how Israel strengthens American security without requiring U.S. troops...

In Episode 446 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker asks a fundamental question: Does the rule of law still matter?

This episode examines a public letter issued by faculty affiliated with the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs criticizing immigration enforcement—and what that letter reveals about the mindset of modern public policy elites. Drawing on his personal experience as a graduate of both the Humphrey School and the Mondale School of Law, Parker explores what the letter says, what it omits, and why selective outrage erodes public trust, safety, and democratic acco...

In this urgent and uncompromising episode, Andrew Parker confronts the growing reality many Western governments refuse to name: we are in a war for our values, our civilization, and the survival of the Jewish people.

From the October 7 attacks to the global spread of the call to “globalize the Intifada,” Parker examines the rise of radical Islamist terror, the moral relativism that excuses it, and the political leaders who enable it through feckless governance and open-border policies. He explains why these attacks make the case for Zionism unmistakably clear, why freedom of speech does not extend to inci...

In this powerful and uncompromising episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker speaks during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah—a time that commemorates miracles, resilience, and the triumph of freedom over tyranny. Against that backdrop, he confronts the accelerating rise of antisemitism, radical Islamic terrorism, and the dangerous moral confusion spreading across Western institutions.

 Andrew argues that the world is no longer engaged in a series of isolated conflicts, but in a full-scale war of values—one that pits freedom, democracy, and Judeo-Christian principles against ideologies that glorify death, destruction, and the eradication of Israel and the J...

Recorded on the first day of Hanukkah, Episode 443 of The Andrew Parker Show confronts a hard and urgent truth: enabling evil—through silence, excuse-making, or moral relativism—is itself an act of evil.

Andrew Parker examines the resurgence of anti-Semitism around the world, from October 7 to violent attacks on Jews celebrating Hanukkah in Australia and places these events within the broader historical context of Jewish persecution, terrorism, and ideological warfare. He challenges the narratives that disguise Jewish hatred as political critique, argues that anti-Zionism is inseparable from anti-Semitism, and warns that Western civilization is engaged in a war...

In Episode 442 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew examines one of the most fundamental pillars of a functioning society: safety and security. Without them, the ideals of freedom, liberty, and democracy cannot survive.

Andrew takes a deep look at the national debate on sovereign borders, lawful immigration, assimilation, and the erosion of democratic norms when laws are ignored. He also explores the real-world consequences of globalism, corruption, and ideological extremism that threaten America’s stability.

The episode then shifts to breaking developments in the Middle East—from Hamas rejecting the terms of the ceasefire plan to I...

In Episode 441 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew delivers a candid, impassioned commentary on what he sees as a troubling cultural shift: the growing tendency to defend criminal conduct while vilifying law enforcement and undermining the rule of law.

Andrew examines how public discourse around illegal immigration, violent crime, urban unrest, and large-scale government fraud has become distorted — where enforcing democratically adopted laws is labeled “racist,” and accountability is replaced with political correctness. Drawing comparisons across communities and historical examples, he challenges the narrative that applying the law fairly is a moral failing rather...

In Episode 440 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker confronts the growing wave of global misinformation shaping public opinion about Israel, Hamas, and the so-called “Free Palestine” movement. He traces the origins of the campaign to delegitimize Israel—from Yasser Arafat’s shift from failed military conquest to world-opinion warfare—to today’s slogans, social media narratives, and ideological alliances that distort history and facts.

Andrew walks listeners through the true historical record, including the 1947 Partition Plan, the repeated Arab rejection of sovereign statehood, and the reality that Israel has consistently offered coexistence while facing relentless c...

In Episode 439 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew breaks down one of the most consequential battles of our lifetime: the global struggle between civilization and extremism—and how it’s playing out in the United States.

Andrew confronts the dangerous rise of misinformation about Israel, the Middle East, and the war on terror—from false genocide accusations to the myth of Israel as a “colonial state.” He unpacks the historical record, the strategic realities, and the truth behind the lies now circulating on college campuses, in Congress, and even on the far right.

This episode makes a co...

In Episode 438 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew delivers a powerful and unflinching examination of good vs. evil in the modern Middle East, the atrocities of October 7, and the ongoing challenge of confronting radical Islamic terrorism. He explains why the war brought to Israel’s doorstep is a just war, why moral relativism is weakening the West, and why the U.S.–Israel partnership is not charity—it is an America-first strategic necessity.

Andrew walks through the historical pattern of terror attacks, the distortion of truth on social...

In Episode 437, Andrew Parker sits down with Iroc Avelli — a man who knew O.J. Simpson for years — and who claims he has recorded admissions by Simpson himself tied to the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

In this extraordinary interview, Avelli walks through his history with Simpson, the world surrounding O.J.’s celebrity, and the chain of alleged evidence that he says has been seized and withheld. Andrew asks direct legal questions, challenges the timeline, and explores what is fact, what is allegation, and why this case continues to sit at the intersection of law...

Former IDF paratrooper and educator Uri Goldflam returns for a clear, no-spin primer on the Arab–Israeli conflict—and why today’s fight is as much narrative and lawfare as it is military. We cover Gaza after October 7, Hamas’s tunnel war, why repeated land-for-peace gambits failed, how the Abraham Accords reframed the region, the emerging Turkey–Qatar–Syria axis, and what Israel’s election year could bring. Uri also dismantles the “genocide,” “apartheid,” and “colonialism” claims using first-principles definitions and history, and explains how the same framing is now aimed at the broader West.

Listen for practical argum...

In this episode, Andrew breaks down America’s “off-off year” election results — and why the headlines don’t tell the real story.

Yes, Democratic Socialists scored big in New York. But in Minneapolis — one of the most far-left major cities in the country — voters pushed back. Jacob Frey won. The veto-proof DSA bloc on the City Council is gone. And in St. Paul, the pendulum nudged back toward common-sense governance.

Andrew also warns Republicans: 2026 may be far more dangerous than it looks. Because without Donald Trump on the ballot — will Trump voters actually turn out?

This is not just a local contest — this election will be a signal to the rest of the country.

Donald Trump remains one of the most polarizing figures in American history—admired by some as a defender of democracy and vilified by others as a threat to it.

In this short but powerful episode, Andrew Parker unpacks the so-called Gaza “peace plan” recently touted by Donald Trump. With a 20-point proposal that Israel accepted but Hamas only feigned agreement to, Andrew questions whether this plan truly promotes peace—or simply prolongs despair, destruction and terrorism.

From the October 7th atrocities to Hamas’s entrenched radicalization and Western governments’ willingness to appease them, Andrew makes the case that real peace requires the unconditional elimination of Hamas—not concessions that allow them to reconstitute and terrorize again.

Listen now for a clear, uncompromising perspective on Israel, terr...
