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.

0:30.1

Our top story this week is the report by the State Department's Inspector General on Hillary Clinton's email practices while she was Secretary of State.

0:38.4

The IG concluded that Clinton's use of personal email was inappropriate, both in terms of

0:43.5

preservation of government records and, much more importantly, for the significant security

0:47.8

1:06.3

1:30.5

And I've even agreed from a political aspect.

1:32.3

It's probably not because it doesn't change what her supporters think.

1:37.5

But if you step back and just think about what she did and how sort of inexcusable it is for anybody who works in any sort of job

1:46.7

with any sort of online security. This is, again, it's sort of mind blowing. Yeah. I want to get

1:57.0

your sense on it because I don't know whether you'd try to come to her defense on this,

2:03.0

but.

2:04.0

Well, one of the, you know, one of the defenses, many defenses that Hillary Clinton's people have trotted

2:09.7

out, which is never a good sign when you have, you know, serial defenses when one doesn't
