Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening, wherever you are. And welcome to the politics guys with your host, Jay Carson and Michael Baranowski.

Hi, welcome to the politics guys. I'm Michael Baranowski, a political scientist at Northern Kentucky University.

My co-host this week, as always, is Cleveland Area Attorney and sometime Republican strategist Jay Carson.

Before we get to this week's show, I'd like to thank all of you who've emailed us with your questions and comments.

In the next few weeks, Jay and I plan to roll out a new

Politics Guys podcast to be posted every Wednesday called Question of the Week, where we answer questions

submitted by listeners. So if there's a question you'd like us to answer, email us at

politicsguise at gmail.com. That's politics guys, one word, at gmail.com. And now on to the show.

Our top story this week is, once again, gun violence. On Wednesday, a heavily armed couple

killed 14 people and wounded 17 more in an act of terrorism at a social services center in California.

The shooters who were killed by police

have been linked to ISIS, according to preliminary FBI reports. So, Jay, another, another gun

violence thing. I don't know, we've talked about this a lot of times before, so what do you have to

do? We talk a whole lot about gun violence and gun control.

It was interesting, I guess, what you just said, that you labeled it an act of terrorism because a lot of folks haven't done that yet, particularly the next day of the Cleveland Plain

dealer had a big headline indicating there is no link to terrorism.

Now, at that time, I think it was pretty unclear.

All as well. But at the time, I think even the FBI wasn't really sure. And then later on in the

week, more evidence came out and so forth. And now it seems pretty clear that this was in fact

a terrorist attack. And in fact, the biggest terrorist attack in this country since 9-11.

Yeah.

So.
