The American History Podcast, Season 2, Episode 4, The American Empire.

Welcome to the American History Podcast.

Hosted by Sean Morswick.

Thank you. Hosted by Sean Worswick. All right, so welcome back, friends and listeners.

This is episode 2.4, and it's pretty much guaranteed to get me into some trouble, most likely.

I'd be shocked if I didn't lose a couple of subscribers to the show, maybe even some hate mail.

Who knows?

Now, that's not me asking for hate mail.

I'm not asking you to unsubscribe.

It's just that I think this episode will be controversial in a way. And in a way for me,

it's quite special because I'm actually unveiling my thesis for this season right here, right now. Just another bit of information before we get going. This is

going to be a beast of an episode. I don't know if it'll be the longest in our show history,

but it's got a lot of information and ideas in it. It might be one that you maybe have to

listen to a couple of times just to make sure you get it right.

You understand what I'm putting forth here.

You're also welcome to push back against me.

Don't just accept my ideas at face value.

If you have any questions or comments, I welcome them.

Again, you can go to the website and email me from the website.

It's www.theamericanhistorypodcast.com. You can also find me on Twitter at AmericanHISCast. So

feel free to contact me and let me know what you think. So without further ado, let's get into the American

Empire. Now, what we're really dealing with here is the ideological foundations of American Empire.
