0:00.0 | Welcome to the politics, guys, a place for a bipartisan, rational, and civil debate on American politics and policy. |
0:06.0 | I'm Michael Baranowski, a political scientist at Northern Kentucky University. With me today is my regular |
0:10.9 | co-host, Cleveland Area Attorney and Republican Factotum, Jay Carson. Good morning. How are you doing |
0:16.8 | today, Jay? I'm doing pretty good. I'm, I got to say, I'm a little exhausted after this |

1:18.5 | Slim. |
1:18.6 | I wouldn't go sort of the nut. |
1:20.2 | Had your bet just a little bit. |
1:21.3 | I also want to, should note, obviously, I'm waiting by the phone. |
1:27.2 | Yeah. |
1:27.6 | Well, you know. Just. Well, you know. |
1:28.4 | Just in case, you know. |
1:30.7 | You never can't tell, right? |
1:31.7 | With Donald Trump, sure. |
