Summary

Mike and Jay open this midweek supporters’ episode with a discussion of President Trump’s call with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and plans to end Russia’s war against Ukraine. Mike points out that Trump, supposedly a master negotiator, seems to have made concessions to Putin even before negotiations have begun. Both Jay and Mike are concerned about how any capitulation to Russia’s unprovoked aggression might encourage China’s dictator regarding Taiwan. Following that, they consider the House Republican budget blueprint which, while decrying huge deficits, would add trillions in debt. They close by addressing listener questions concerning whether Jay thinks Trump is still just a passing phenomenon, and if Mike believes that Democrats are doing enough to counter the president.
