0:00.0	Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening, wherever you are. And welcome to the politics guys with your host, Jay Carson and Michael Baranowski.
0:17.3	Welcome to the politics guys. I'm Michael Baranowski, a political scientist at Northern Kentucky University.
0:23.5	My co-host this week, as always, is Cleveland Area Attorney and sometime Republican strategist, Jay Carson.
0:29.8	We start this week with a look at the increasingly contentious race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
0:36.1	On Tuesday, May 17th, Bernie Sanders defeated
0:38.5	Hillary Clinton in Oregon and fought her to what was essentially a tie in Kentucky, a state that
0:43.9	Clinton won in a landslide against Barack Obama in 2008. Now, Sanders has won four of the last
0:50.2	five states, but he can't really hope to realistically catch Clinton at this point.
0:54.8	And it seems to me he's hanging his remaining hopes on the California primary in June 7th,
0:59.9	which has a massive number of delegates, 546 of them.
1:03.5	But right now in the California polls, Clinton has a nearly 10-point lead, though Sanders,
1:09.4	I think, is hoping for an upset victory to maybe
1:11.9	demonstrate to the Democratic superdelegates that Clinton is a deeply flawed candidate, and he
1:18.4	might be the better choice to lead the party against Donald Trump in November.
1:22.5	And, of course, we talked about this last week, Jay, that, you know, it's a case he's been
1:25.9	making for a while now.
1:27.9	And actually, if you look at the polling, at least in the last week, Jay, that, you know, it's a case he's been making for a while now. And actually, if you look at the polling, at least in the last week, especially, things are
1:32.8	looking not nearly as good for Hillary Clinton. The general election matchups, all of a sudden,
1:38.3	things between Clinton and Trump are narrowing, but you still see a wide gap between Trump and Sanders.
1:45.5	So what do you think about what's happened in the last week in the Democratic race?
1:50.4	Well, I think fundamentally it still doesn't change anything that Hillary Clinton has the numbers,
1:57.7	the delegates to be the nominee. But Sanders is staying in for sort of the reasons we've talked about of just in case there's
