Summary

Ralph Waldo Emerson said that “Society is a masked ball, where every one hides his real character, and reveals it by hiding." Mike and Jay talk about masks, character, and who's hiding what in the Georgia- Atlanta spat, CDC guidance, and Trump's approach to facial coverings. Then the first federal execution in 17 years opens up a discussion about the death penalty, if and how it should be applied, and who should decide those questions. And Trump once again proves himself to the George Steinbrenner of politics by replacing another campaign manager. Does this signal a change in direction, or just Trump being Trump? Mike’s Weekly Recommendation Andrew Sullivan’s Final NY Magazine Column The Weekly Dish Be part of the discussion on the Politics Guys ‘BipartisanPolitics’ community on Reddit.

0:17.6	I'm Michael Baranowski, a professor of political science at North Kentucky University.
0:21.3	I'm joined today by Cleveland area attorney and Republican factotum Jay Carson. Hey, Jay.
0:25.9	Good morning, Mike. How are you doing this morning? I'm all right. I'm okay.
0:29.7	That's good. I am glad to hear it. I'm hanging in there myself. There's a phrase, you probably
0:36.0	heard it. Everyone else has probably heard last on this, but the corona coaster, that's kind of how I feel, like sort of
0:42.0	riding the corona coaster with the ups and the downs, and I just want to get off. But anyway,
0:48.2	I wanted to mention before we started that if you're an extremely observant listener, you might have noticed that a while
0:56.6	back I changed our opening to the show just slightly. I used to call myself a political
1:02.2	scientist at North Kentucky University, which I still am, but not too long ago I changed that
1:06.9	to professor of political science. And I did that because I actually, not too long ago,
1:11.4	got promoted to a full professor. And the reason I mentioned that is because this podcast and all
1:17.7	of you are a big reason for that. That was one of the sort of major things I argued for as why I was
1:25.5	worthy of a promotion, the sort of work that Jay and I and, you know,
1:30.9	all of our other co-hosts were doing, I, I sort of over the last four or five, guys, it's been
