Summary

In this preview of the supporters' midweek episode, Mike & Jay open with a discussion of President Biden’s recently announced investment restrictions on China. While both of the Guys are free traders, they agree that when it comes to national security it makes sense to put some restrictions on countries that are strategic adversaries. Following that, they look at the Supreme Court’s recent stay of a lower-court judge’s invalidation of Biden administration ghost-gun kit regulations and consider party loyalty in the wake of Joe Manchin’s announcement that he’s very seriously considering leaving the Democratic Party as well as Donald Trump’s refusal to sign a GOP presidential nominee loyalty pledge.
