Analyzing America

Analyzing America Ep. 10 - First Season Finale

We did it. The culmination of months of effort has led to this. Thanks to everyone who listens, and I look forward to seeing you in the next one!

Analyzing America Ep. 9 - Sirens and Sand

Welcome back! Not necessarily on a topic that'd be fun, but important regardless. The cold conflict between Israel and Iran is running hot, and strong words as well as ballistic missiles are exchanged. Is this a regional skirmish? Or the beginning of something far worse?

[SPECIAL] The Measure of the Moment

In this special edition, I deliver a citizen's address on the significance of this moment and the questions it raises, the restraint it demands, and the leadership it requires. 
[NOTE] At the beginning of all special episodes, that tone will play.

Analyzing America Ep. 8 - June's Jubilee

On June 19th, 1865, freedom finally reached the shores of Galveston, Texas. 160 years later., we remember the day the last enslaved Americans were told they were free. On this episode of Analyzing America, I reflect on the legacy of Juneteenth and its cost, courage, and challenge., 

Analyzing America Ep. 7 - The Papal Pick is In

Welcome back, and do we have news for you! The first American Pope was selected by the College of Cardinals to oversee the Vatican and billions of Catholics across the globe. But will this new red, white, and blue papacy bring prosperity for the Catholic Church? God knows. Literally. And time will certainly tell.

Analyzing America Ep. 6 -VE Day Veneration

Today is Victory in Europe Day. We celebrate the sacrifices and look to the future as we honor the past. As I said, we're never going back to tyranny, oppression, and despotism.
And that is an assured fact.
 
Thanks for listening. 

Analyzing America Ep. 5 - Cornering Canada

Two titans go head to head in the True North. Polivere vs. Carney. Which comes out on top, you ask? We discuss all of that and more in this special episode of Analyzing America, featuring a special guest, international implications, and more. So sit back and relax, and even grab yourself some “poutine,” and enjoy this episode. P.S. I’ve attached a transcript (more or less) if that’s more your speed. Thanks for listening (or reading)!

Analyzing America Ep. 4 - The Incumbent's Intermission

We've made it this far. The class president sits down with his cabinet and mulls over his next step. Retirement? Re-election? Another form of leadership? We shall certainly see. 

Analyzing America Ep. 3- Democratic Dog Days

The Democrats lost the 2024 election. Badly. Here, we'll discuss the up and coming strategies (or lack thereof) under the leadership of new DNC Chair Ken Martin. With so much at stake in 2026, and indeed 2028, it's worth a peek behind the curtain to discuss what could possibly be a counter to the MAGA wave.

Analyzing America Ep. 2- Tariff Trouble

President Donald J. Trump has just levied tariffs on some key U.S. allies and adversaries. In this episode, we discuss how this will affect American economic policy in the coming months, and the likelihood of any of these policies being rescinded.
