    It’s morning in America...just kidding the country is still “on fire”, the status quo remains, and hosts Shahzeb and Zach don’t expect Joe Biden to do anything about it!
    In this episode of “Polarity”, Shahzeb Malik and Zach C discuss newly inaugurated President Joe Biden’s Day 1 executive orders and what he should prioritize in his first 100 days agenda; including $2,000 monthly stimulus checks, a $15 minimum wage, Emergency Medicare For All, and many more items (per Warren Gunnels, Staff Director for Senator Bernie Sanders) but will in all likelihood include none of that. They also discuss President Biden’s Cabinet Picks and how they will influence the administration from a policy perspective; completing with a rant on the failures of the political establishment before cutting to break. (0:00-36:11)
    They also discuss Andrew Yang’s run for Mayor of New York City, his robust policy plan, and his COVID safe in-person campaigning efforts that have unfortunately been put on hold due to a staff member testing positive for COVID.

  • S2E7 Polarity: Recounting a Dark Day in our Democracy

    Yoshida and Zach C join host Shahzeb Malik discuss the events of January 6th, 2021 in which Trump supporters sieged the US Capitol Building, with Trump directly supporting the insurrection by denying the US National Guard to be called in among other cowardly acts. 4 deaths, 14 injuries, and a nation torn. We provide some of our thoughts on where the country heads from here and what the future of our government looks like. This was recorded on the night of January 6th, 2021 as the Congress reconvened to certify the electoral college results confirming Joe Biden as the next President of the United States.

  • S2E2: Tom Palzewicz for WI-5
    Congressional Candidate Tom Palzewicz (WI-5) stopped by the show to talk about his campaign for Congress (4 years in the making), transforming the US into a trickle up economy, and taking on climate change, among many other topics.
    "I am running because all politicians should be reminded that we are here to serve the people who elected us. It is time for the US to put leaders in office who will do their jobs, who will work for all of us, not just those who voted for them. The same representative held Wisconsin's 5th district for the last 40 years, now this seat is open and its time for Wisconsin to take a new path forward. I am running to bring integrity back to politics. I want to create a political climate that works for everyone, and I will do that by having inclusive policy-making processes."
