Summary

This week, Mike and Jay start by discussing President Trump's first address to a joint session of Congress. They both agree that it was the most presidential / least Trump-like speech he's yet given. Then things get a bit more disputatious than usual, when Mike strongly objects to President Trump'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'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's budget and the wave of threats against Jewish Community Centers.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-politics-guys/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening, wherever you are. And welcome to the politics guys with your host, Jay Carson and Michael Baranowski.
0:17.2	Welcome to the politics guys. I'm Michael Baranowski, a political scientist at Northern Kentucky University.
0:23.4	My co-host this week, as always, is Cleveland Area Attorney and sometime Republican strategist Jay Carson.
0:30.2	You might have noticed that this week's show posted a day early.
0:33.6	That's because I'm doing something I almost never do, taking an honest-to-goodness vacation.
0:38.9	You know, after the long and very tumultuous presidential campaign and the crazy pace of news during the Trump administration,
0:46.0	I'm more than a little bit burned out, so I've decided to shut myself off from news and email and social media for most of this coming week and find a sunny beach
0:56.2	and a good book and just try to recharge a bit. But we will still have our regularly scheduled
1:01.3	episodes of the show this coming week. This Wednesday, you'll hear a great interview I did with
1:05.9	CrowdPack CEO and Fox News commentator Steve Hilton. In our next Sunday show, Jay will be taking over and he will be joined by a special
1:15.0	guest host, a big proponent of a lot of the things that Jay doesn't like, I'm sure.
1:21.0	There we go.
1:21.4	Yeah, so it'll be Jay and Ken, and I think it's going to be a great show.
1:26.3	I'm really looking forward to it.
1:27.9	All right. Now, on to this week's show. We start with President Trump's first addressed to a joint
1:35.0	session of Congress. In the speech, which was widely viewed as his most optimistic and
1:40.4	presidential to date, the president asked for Congress's help in fixing health care,
1:45.2	the tax code, and the country's infrastructure. He also called for a merit-based immigration
1:50.6	system in which those who have the most to offer the country in terms of education and skills
1:55.3	would receive precedents to enter the country. Now, in one of the most remarked upon lines of the
2:00.4	speech, President Trump said, the time for small, in one of the most remarked upon lines of the speech,
2:02.1	President Trump said,
