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

Welcome to the politics guys. I'm Michael Barronowski, 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 I get started with the show, we'd like to let everyone know that we are starting a weekly newsletter.

It'll have our take on the week's events, the best of what we read in the week,

updates and announcements about the podcast, and just some random thoughts that we might happen to have.

We plan on sending this out every Sunday.

And if you'd like to check it out, let us know.

Send us an email at mail at www.com.

This coming week's edition will be our very first,

and we would really love to get your feedback on it. You can let us know what you liked, what you didn't like, really anything to design, the layout, anything that you think might help it

be a better or more useful thing to you. That would be great. So again, that email is mail at politicsguise.com.

Let's send us an email there and we'll get it out to you right away.

And, of course, we will not share or otherwise use your email for any sort of commercial

or nefarious purposes, right, Jay?

We would never do that.

Absolutely.

That would be wrong.

Okay.

On to the show.

Now, if you listen to Sunday show, you'll know it was kind of jam-packed full of stuff.

And there were a lot of things we really wanted to talk about that we didn't have a chance to get to.
