Summary

Mike and Jay open the preview of this supporters’ midweek episode with a discussion of a Texas judge’s ruling against the FTC’s noncompete clause ban. Mike is more in favor of at least restricting noncompete clauses than Jay is, but they both agree that the judge was correct on the law. Next, they take a look at the Republican and Democratic Party platforms, starting with the parties’ positions on inflation/prices, the economy, and immigration. They close by responding to listener questions on the ‘coronation’ of Kamala Harris and what the parties have done to unite the country.
