Summary

In this midweek show, Trey and Mike look to the expanding international vision from Trumpworld as it relates primarily to Greenland. Mike argues that Greenland is just saber rattling, but Trey argues that it is more. Further, he argues that MAGA does not see common ground with other democracies, especially in Europe. Next, they discuss the economic policies of exiting the global tax agreements. Mike believes it was the best move in the case of the U.S. Trey goes into the details of how Europe has targeted the U.S. in terms of taxes. They close the show with their rants and recommendations. Mike’s rant is that One Battle After Another is nothing but a leftist fantasy. Trey’s rant is anti-immigration Christians. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	Welcome to the politics guys, a place for bipartisan, rational, and civil debate on American politics and policy.
0:04.7	I'm Trey Orndorf, a political scientist at Oklahoma Christian University. And I am joined, as usual recently, by Michael Baranowski, a professor of political science himself.
0:15.0	Mike, welcome to the midweek show. I'm looking forward to doing it with you, Trey. You know, I wanted to, before we get started,
0:22.6	I just wanted to mention something, you know, the last couple weeks, first on the midweek show to end
0:26.9	the year, you and I talked about how I'm no longer a Democrat. And then last week, Michael and I
0:32.9	in the regular show that kind of give this, get this out to more listeners about kind of how I perceive myself

0:50.2	the stuff you say and so forth. So, yeah, it's not really changed.

1:09.2	I'm upsetting both sides.
1:10.7	I don't know if I's upsetting exactly, but no one
1:12.4	really feels like fit with them. So I am. I guess we'll be on the island of misfit political
1:17.5	ideologues or something like that. I don't know. Well, I mean, I suppose you can always join the
1:22.4	Green Party. Oh, God. That's okay. Kill me now. Anyway, sorry.
