Live from New York with Leader Hakeem Jeffries

We took the Andy Beshear Podcast to the heart of New York City 🏙️ – 36 floors up at NY Studio 1 – to sit down with a history-maker: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. He’s the first Black leader of a party in Congress, a Brooklyn guy through and through, and a master of fighting hard while keeping the door open for consensus.This conversation has everything: why Jeffries still gets out of bed ready to throw punches (political ones, of course), what’s really going on with redistricting, and what it's going to take to reclaim the House. We also get into the economy, leadership lessons, praying vs. preying and what keeps him grounded when politics gets messy.But it’s not all politics. Will and Lila crash the show to teach Andy and the Jo(h)ns Gen Z lingo (apparently “aura farming” is a thing?), we call some plays on NFL kickoff week, and we even check in on RFK Jr.’s wild ride through the Senate. 😅🎙️ ICYMI: the podcast is now part of the SiriusXM Podcast Network!
