    The Pandemic Politics of Jeff Zients

    In this podcast episode, I analyze United States President Joe Biden's COVID-19 response through the political figure of Jeff Zients, who was the COVID-19 Response Coordinator early on in Biden's administration before becoming the White House Chief-of-Staff. I introduce Zients as a former bagel chain owner, using his occupation as an inconspicuous entry point into Zients' career. I then peel back the layers of Zients' past as a businessman to reveal that he has consistently prioritized corporate profits and self-interest over public health.

    What If Jay Inslee Was Elected President

    In this episode of Politics With Paxton, I engage in a comprehensive analysis of many of the plans that 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Jay Inslee devised to combat the crisis of climate change. In the process, I compare and contrast Inslee's environmental policies to those of United States Presidents Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden and highlight the ways in which Inslee's environmental policies would have improved upon those of Obama, Trump, and Biden and how the 2020 presidential election and Inslee's debates with Biden warned us of Biden's approval of the Willow Oil Project.
