The Politics Guys is an independent, bipartisan, ideologically diverse American politics and policy podcast hosted by experts: political scientists, law professors, practicing attorneys, and former government officials. Our mission is to give listeners a much-needed break from conservative and liberal echo chambers through civil, rational, and evidence-based discussion of American politics and policy from multiple perspectives. In addition to our weekly news discussion, we feature regular interviews with leading figures from across the ideological spectrum. Past guests include Representatives Jim Jordan, Thomas Massie, and Rob Wittman; Jeffrey Sachs; Tyler Cowen; Bryan Caplan; Dan Carlin; Larry Sabato; and Lawrence Lessig.
many agree the conditions in Gaza where that of an open air prison camp or an apartheid similar to south Africa. if the people in the aushwits camp rose up and had a violent rebellion against the Germans people like the conservatives in this episode would be considered blood thirsty antisemites. Isreal has killed more people in Gaza in the last month than America did in the whole Iraq war. hamas is evil but when slaves killed plantation owners and kids the actions were evil but justifiable.
the meth billboards in my state are designed to produce a negative response. same with abortion billboards that depict dead babies. the fact that you are offended by a capitalistic billboard is comical. anyone ever notice how much of snow flakes conservatives are?
Ken is so funny 🤣, continuously wrong but keeps on going, like a negative energizer bunny
Progressive Social Scientists explain to a Liberal that Conservatives are terrible but this is how we can convince them to do what we want
Kuhn is someone who starts paying attention to politics in 2016. Unsurprisingly he it is the noob level of argument from a committed member of The Resistance.
Ken's an idiot
With the Hunter Biden laptop the left MSM immediately called it Russian disinformation without even attempting to verify the information and brought their security state people to say it was Russian disinfo or to back up that statement.
Obama was a joke. lifted by partisan media.
I have one thing to counter Jay's point about giving the Polish Migs to Ukraine. Poland didn't want to directly transfer their fighter jets to Ukraine, they wanted to transfer the planes first to a US (NATO) base in Germany and then have US pilots fly the planes to Ukraine. Poland doesn't want to draw the ire of Russia and wants to shift the focus of the aircraft transfer to the US, that is why the Biden administration is correct in rejecting facilitating the transfer. The planes can be transferred from Poland to Ukraine and be under NATO protection until they land in Ukraine, there is no reason for the US to be involved in the transfer
Ken is just a left wing idealogue and doesn't fit the show.
Why does the US not simply automatically give every 18 year old the right to vote and requirement to show up at the polls like Australia?
I was getting annoyed with Mike continually talking about how Trump was ineffective legislatively. The President is the head of the Executive Branch and constitutionally has no legislative function in regards to the crafting of legislation. The fact the we have become used to the executive dictating the terms of legislation to the Legiative branch shows the break down of our system of government.
Doc might want to rethink that "I'd go to work for Trump in a heartbeat" comment given how many of his associates end up under investigation or in prison.
As someone who brags to their friends about the bipartisan approach to your podcast, I have to say that the "Election 2020" series was a bit of a disappointment. Doc was the only viewpoint with a conservative approach. While I don't doubt his intelligence, he could have used support from a more eloquent ally in these discussions. That being said overall this is a fabulous podcast. I reference it regularly when engaging in political discourse with my friends and family. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more ( better balanced) student contributions in the future!
Did Doc just equate the relative safety of New York City and Chicago with Honduras and Mexico?
To Mike's point regarding faithless electors and the word vote in Article 2 section 3 that can make sense. However, Article 2 Section 2 I believe would allow states to bind electors in addition to the tenth amendment saying how states choose is a state prerogative.
Political Guys is only useful if both sides are well represented. Trey and Ken are essentially representing the same side though Fry a different angle. 😞
ok, that's is, thank you, but no thanks anymore, unsubscribing. Reading recommendation Heather Mac Donald on the topic of race and policing? Really, you mean the author that wrote The Diversity Delusion?
my bad, if you tried, if you tried.
you couldn't get to weaker "Convective's" if you tried!
