PG89: Trump's Speech, Russia & Sessions, Budget Plans, Anti-Semitism

This week, Mike and Jay start by discussing President Trump&#39;s first address to a joint session of Congress. They both agree that it was the most presidential / least Trump-like speech he&#39;s yet given. Then things get a bit more disputatious than usual, when Mike strongly objects to President Trump&#39;s tweets about alleged illegal wiretapping of his organization by the Obama administration. Jay is deeply troubled that a president would tap the phones of a rival party&#39;s presidential nominee, while Mike argues the Obama administration would have been derelict in its duty had it not investigated a major party presidential nominee with potential ties to a rival and unfriendly power. Things cool down after that (Mike really did get pretty wound up for a while on the Russia thing) as they move on to discuss the first outlines of President Trump&#39;s budget and the wave of threats against Jewish Community Centers.<br/><br/>Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-politics-guys/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-politics-guys/donations</a><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>
