Summary

Ryan & Mike open this supporters’ midweek episode with a look at the controversy over Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney, followed by a discussion of Justice Thomas’ integrity (which Mike defends) and his ethics (which both Mike and Ryan have serious issues with). They close with a Politics Guys tradition – talking taxes in honor (dishonor?) of Tax Day. The Politics Guys on Facebook | Twitter Listener support helps make The Politics Guys possible.

0:17.7	I'm Michael Baranowski, Professor of Political Science at Northern Kentucky University.

0:39.3	It's on the straight and narrow down that highway. And I am looking forward to you, taking the
