Summary

This week’s show starts off with Mike getting all misty-eyed about President Obama’s farewell speech. Unsurprisingly, Jay wasn’t quite so choked up. Mike contrasts what he sees as the grace and eloquence of the outgoing president with the decidedly different style of President-Elect Donald Trump, who recently held his first news conference since winning the … Continue reading "PG82: Farewells, Fake News, Russia Scandal?, Trump’s Ethics, Hearings, Obamacare"Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-politics-guys/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

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 Barronowski, a political scientist at Northern Kentucky University.
0:23.4	My co-host this week, as always, is Cleveland Area Attorney and sometime Republican strategist Jay Carson.
0:29.9	Before we start today's show, a quick reminder about the politics guys newsletter.
0:34.7	If you're interested in seeing the best stuff I've read all week, along with my
0:38.0	thoughts on why it's worth your time and how it fits into whatever's been knocking around in my
0:42.5	head lately, you should check it out. From time to time, you'll also get one of Jay's always
0:47.1	amusing and insightful columns, and very soon we're hoping to start including links and commentary
0:52.7	from two politically astute and
0:55.1	very smart guys who also happen to be former students of mine, a libertarian-ish political
1:01.1	scientist who I'm pretty sure would get along great with Jay, and the far left, the quasi-Marxist,
1:08.1	who's my go-to guy for intelligent and well-informed critiques of capitalism.
1:13.5	Getting the newsletter is easy. Just go to our website, politicsguides.com, and sign up on the
1:18.7	form you'll see there. You can also check out previous issues by clicking on the past
1:23.2	newsletters link right up above the sign-up form. And now on to this week's show. We'll start
1:29.5	today with an ending, President Obama's farewell address, which he gave before a packed house
1:34.4	at McCormick Place in Chicago, where his amazing political career was launched. Now, the speech had a lot
1:40.4	about what he accomplished as president, but it also included a warning that we
1:44.3	shouldn't take our democracy for granted and a call for us to not only stand up and take
1:49.4	action, but to try to listen to those we may not agree with. And to me, I found that it was an
1:55.5	eloquent and moving address, and I actually got a little choked up at times. Now, if you missed it and are
2:01.7	interested in hearing it, I have links to the video and a full transcript in this week's
