In today's gripping episode, high-school Juniors Varoon and Damian jump back on the podcast for a heavily conversational discussion about the state of our union and the state of our President with the upcoming elections this November.

In today's very special episode of the Polititeen podcast, rising high-school Juniors Varoon and Damian bring on Charles Ravenscraft, a candidate for the Georgia House of Representatives from District 22, to showcase his stance on issues that affect Americans on every corner of the United States. A current union electricians, Charles speaks heavily on issues such as climate change, gun violence, healthcare for all Americans, vocational education, and perhaps most importantly, encouraging acceptance for racial minorities in our community. After their interview with Charles, your hosts reflect on what Charles continued to stress within his segment and connect his words to contemporary events; most notably, President Trump's speech to a group of young conservatives in Arizona, where he continued to make bold and unhindered statements that were a mix of ludicrous, saddening, and sometimes, disgusting.
