We’ve previously compared IPOs to lotteries that are prone to inflated valuations and low returns. Today we welcome “Mr. IPO,” Professor Jay Ritter onto the show for a deeper dive into IPO performance, for his insights into SPACs, and to hear his research into why economic growth doesn’t correlate with stock returns. Early in the episode, Jay unpacks how long-term IPO returns perform against first-day trading. While exploring the role that venture capital plays in tech IPOs, Jay talks about why negative earnings don’t affect tech IPOs in the short-term before sharing how skewness factors tend to impact young companies. Reflecting on how IPOs are usually underpriced, Jay discusses how the interests of companies are not aligned with the interests of IPO underwriters. After looking into IPO allocation, Jay compares the 2020 ‘hot IPO market’ with the internet bubble of the late 90s. Later, we ask Jay about what special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) are and why they’ve exploded in recent years. His answers highlight their investing benefits, risks, and why SPACs might be a better option for companies than IPOs. We examine how SPACs have historically performed and then jump into our next topic; why economic growth isn’t a good indicator that a country is worth investing in. He touches on why returns don’t correlate with economic growth, the place of capital gains and dividend yields when investing abroad, and how innovations in an industry can lead to higher stock returns. We wrap up our conversation by asking Jay for his take on whether the stock market is efficient before hearing how he defines success in his life.

Marketers are often caught up in the numbers and believe that the bigger an email list, the more successful the marketing. But this could not be further from the truth because newsletters should create value and not focus on who arrives but who chooses to stay. Reframing marketing success in this way makes it clear that audiences have chosen you and you can use this to engage with them more meaningfully. Today’s guest, Jay Acunzo, is a content marketer turned podcaster, and he is here to share his unique and refreshing approach to his email list. In this episode, he talks about his acclaimed newsletter, Damn the Best Practices, how he approached it, and what it taught him. Despite his initial frustration at not seeing the numbers he thought he needed, he instead saw the power of having a small, but highly engaged audience. It was clear that resonance rather than reach was what truly mattered. Jay also shares how he tackles drafting his newsletters, and why marketers’ focus on perfection is stifling creativity. Understanding that the process of creation is inherently iterative is not only liberating but also allows you to create more and ultimately improve. We also talk about why Jay doesn’t use conventional success metrics, why he thinks there’s only one way to grow an email list, and the importance of getting clear on your message. Be sure to tune in today!Key Points From This Episode:Jay’s Damn the Best Practices newsletter, why he started it, and why it’s no longer around.Damn the Best Practices origin story and how Jay found his ‘tribe’ through it.Where Jay’s passion for creating and connecting comes from.Some of the writing tools and techniques that help Jay draft arresting newsletters.The only way Jay believes that you can grow your email list.Why Jay realized that the type of engagement was more important than list size.Jay’s tips for people struggling with their newsletter: Lean into the iterative process.Find out why email is the number one place for Jay to put his content.First, find out what you want to say before deciding where you want to say it.Jay’s ‘Unsolicited Response Rate’ metric and what it helps him measure.What Jay loves about his team and why they’ve succeeded together.Tweetables:“I fell in love with notion that I could make something early on that made me feel and that I could give it to someone else that made them feel too.

“Find a way to get people hooked on running. That’s what we need.” Jay Holder just might love running — the sport itself, plus every single member of the running community — more than any guy I know. Jay is the Director of Marketing & Communications at Atlanta Track Club, which means this week, we're getting a behind-the-scenes look at what it took to host the 2020 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials! Jay talks about the bidding process leading up to the Trials, and shares what, exactly, Atlanta did to show USA Track & Field that they were worthy of hosting one of the greatest weekends in American distance racing. (It involved a 90-page proposal and plan!) Jay, a dad of two, shares stories from the course — which he ran several dozen times before race weekend — and explains what he says is "the best part of the job." We look back reminiscing about the Trials weekend, and look forward, with some trepidation: The Atlanta Track Club also hosts the Peachtree Road Race, which is the largest 10K in the world that takes place every year on the Fourth of July.

Today's episode is part two of a segment I did on Traffic and Funnels. In this section, I share how risk works in business and in life. Preeminence stipulates that you don't want to wait till money exchanges hands to begin providing value for the other side - and you'll soon see why. You want to fall in love with your client. You want to have the desire to see your product or service change someone's life - even if just for a moment. This is what preeminence is all about, and you must choose it. In this talk, I'll share why it's critical to develop your team and invite them to participate in your crusade. I'll share how to evolve beyond transactional business so you're more fulfilled, more prosperous, and simply a better person overall. Listen in, enjoy, and stay tuned for the final segment of this conversation. 00:00 – 04:00 - Defining preeminence within a business and beyond04:00 – 10:00 - Loving your clients and enrolling others in the crusade10:00 – 15:00 - Moving beyond transactional business into something better15:00 – 23:30 - Understanding your distinct proposition value 23:30 – 27:00 - What Jay believes needs to be done to make things happen
Jay is a financial advisor with Edward Jones and is the president of the Historic Downtown Kennewick Partnership. A funny thing about Jay is that when he was a child traveling in the car with his parents, his mother would call him Jabberwocky! What Jay loves about his position is that you put your foot on the gas and make things happen or not. It’s really all up to you. He really enjoys being responsible for the successes and failures. He looks back and wishes he had become an entrepreneur sooner. There were two pivotal moments in his career that led him to where he is today. One of those experiences was when he was promoted from Controller to CFO. They were in acquisition mode and they were going from having three companies to four. At the time his mentor was retiring as well. The other time was when he accepted a role with a Chamber of Commerce. He ultimately became the president and organized an economic summit. The people that have the greatest influence on him were his former CEO, Dwayne, who had a very can-do attitude. Kevin Heartwick also had an impact on Jay. Both men had the same end goal: take ownership and build champions. Jay does his best work in the morning or early evenings. He is reading a great book called, Organize your Tomorrow Today. We must map out our objectives, and Jay measures his productivity in metrics. If an activity isn’t producing results, it’s time to end that activity and do something else. As president of the Historic Downtown Kennewick Partnership they are vision-casting strategies on how to drive more traffic to the businesses downtown: creating an atmosphere that makes people want to come to the downtown area. Keeping everyone on the bus is part of vision-casting. For Edward Jones the vision is continuing to build the branch and continue being a person of influence. Jay’s biggest challenge right now is time management and making sure he and his team are working on the right goals. Jay manages his time between his day job and volunteer work by never allowing his volunteering to interfere with providing for his family. Most non-profits need someone with a financial background and that is where he can really be of service to the organization that he is volunteering for. You must track the numbers to be sure to stay on track, keeping the metrics in front of you so you be sure to not be taken off track. What brings Jay joy about being in the role of leadership is seeing the tangible results: seeing people get engaged due to excitement of where they are going. Creating an open dialogue with volunteers is essential. Jay believes in identifying your passion and getting involved in the community.

Jay Fiset: Congruence in Personal and Professional Life In this episode, Yvonne and Jay discuss: Three of Jay’s ventures: The Creator’s Code, Mastermind to Millions, and JVology.

All you have to do is muster courage to be in alignment of it. Once we become clear about who we are, what our role in the world is, and what our attention, needs and requirements are and we get them met, the games will disappear, and you will just get to be who you are.

In addition to his day job duties, Jay puts together the Central Virginia Sports Performance Seminar, and also runs the CVASP Performance Podcast. Jay is one of the growing number of users of the 1x20 strength training system where he gets great results with his athletes with less stress coming out of the weightroom. It isn’t the only method Jay uses, however, as we’ll talk about how this work is used as a tool in the context of long-term athlete development. Ultimately, talking to Jay gives us great insight into what really matters when conducting a strength program for athletes. He is one of the most practical strength coaches I know, and has great insight on the process of developing players. Today on the show Jay and I will talk about a variety of topics, including year to year development of college athletes, daily workout progressions, key performance indicators for basketball, the 1x20 system, aquatic strength training and more. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.

You carry something down, you crawl back” “(for basketball), We look at vertical jump quite a bit, and we look at that versus squat strength, and as they keep adding weight, does that number keep going up, and when that number starts to flatten out, well now we need to start thinking about something else, right?” “Look good, feel good, play good” “You gotta allow them to have autonomy, especially this generation. If you can explain it to them, and allow them to have imput in it, it’s awesome” “You need to be willing to go outside your comfort zone, to ask questions, and to question what you’re doing and learn from people who are a lot smarter than you” About Jay DeMayo Jay DeMayo is in his 13th year as a strength and conditioning coach at the University of Richmond, and his eighth year working with the men’s basketball team.

Jay Papasan co-authored --The ONE Thing:The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results, with Gary Keller. It has been translated into 24 languages and has more than 275 national bestseller list appearances, including #1 on the Wall Street Journal. The book has sold millions of copies. When I ask many top entrepreneurs one of the most impactful books they read, “The One Thing” comes up over and over. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: [0:23] Jeremy’s introduction to Jay Papasan, The One Thing, and this episode. [1:17] Jay’s lowest point and how he pushed through the tough time. [2;57] What Jay recommends to keep going when hard times hit. [4:21] Jay’s proudest moments. [5:53] Where you can connect with Jay. [6:49] The company’s involvement with Heroes For Children. [8:07] The role Jay’s wife has played in his success and her own successes. [11:00] Lessons Jay is watching his children learn. In this episode… Jay’s book, “The One Thing” is all about the increased success and forward motion that can be attained by keeping a strict focus on one particular area of focus. It’s a concept and discipline all of us need to adopt to one degree or another. On this episode of Inspired Insider I ask Jay about how he keeps his focus on his one thing during his lowest moments. Jay says that his toughest times have to do with personal things and as we talked on this episode he referenced a time when his father experienced a serious stroke. He said that during those times he has to remind himself that his true “one thing” is his family and allow himself the time to focus on it. His business endeavors during those times have to be accomplished in light of the family’s priority in his life. It’s during the hard times that Jay Papasan wants to be best role model for his kids. He wants them to see in him the integrity and consistency that focusing on one thing provides. On this episode he shares how he aims at that goal and the ways he sees it impacting his children. One of the final stories Jay Papasan, co-author of “The One Thing,” shares on this episode is how he’s seeing his children learn as they grow. Some of the things they are noticing at a young age are both interesting and inspiring. Their lives are more fruit of the “one thing” philosophy that Jay advocates - and you can learn more about it on this episode.

This week's show starts off with Mike and Jay taking a look at the currently stalled Senate GOP healthcare bill. Between the bill's broad unpopularity and a devastating Congressional Budget Office score, it looks like it's going to be tough for Mitch McConnell to get this bill through his chamber without some significant changes. While Mike and Jay differ greatly on the merits of Obamacare, they both agree that, to this point, Republicans haven't offered a serious, carefully considered conservative alternative to it. Next it's a look at some big news from the Supreme Court. The Court partially lifted the injunctions imposed by lower federal courts on President Trump's travel ban, and said it would hear the case in October, at the beginning of its next term. Both Jay and Mike feel this is the right call, though Jay feels the injunction should have been completely lifted, which Mike doesn't agree with. After that, they discuss a Supreme Court decision that allows state funding for religious institutions. Jay feels the seven members in the majority got it right, and Mike just barely agrees, though he feels that Justices Sotomayor and Ginsburg make some important points in dissent. After that, the Guys talk about a new research study on Seattle's minimum wage experiment. The study, which found that the boost actually cost workers money, was praised by the right, with the left finding plenty of holes in the methodology. Jay feels this vindicates conservative common sense, while Mike argues that it's only one flawed study (as all studies are, to a certain extent) and although it should be taken into consideration, the weight of the evidence still supports the overall benefit of minimum wage hikes.

This week, Mike and Jay start things off by talking about health care bill unveiled by Senate Republicans. Mike sees it as a nearly trillion dollar tax cut financed by draconian cuts to Medicaid, whereas Jay believes it may help by giving states more authority and halting what he sees as unsustainable Medicaid cost growth. Then it's a look at the Georgia special election, where Democrat Jon Ossoff narrowly lost to Republican Karen Handel. Mike says Democrats shouldn't overreact because Democrats have over performed in all four of the special elections held to elect replacements for Trump administration officials formerly serving in the House. Jay points out that a loss is a loss, and Democrats are 0-4. After that, they discuss Russia sanctions, both new sanctions unveiled by the Trump administration and a Senate bill - passed by a vote of 98-2 - calling for tougher sanctions and making it harder for the president to reverse sanctions.

This week's show starts off with the story everyone's been talking about - the government shutdown. Mike and Jay largely stay away from the blame game consuming most of the media, and try to focus on why both parties did what they did and the role President Trumps leadership (or lack thereof) played. Next, Mike and Jay discuss the 2018 March for Life, as well as some recent actions taken by the Trump administration and the House of Representatives in support of the pro-life movement. While Mike believes that women have a fundamental right to make reproductive decisions prior to fetal viability, he's sympathetic to pro-life people who see essentially all terminated pregnancies as needless deaths. Jay makes the case that in this area, the law is on Mike's side, but that he doesn't find the fundamental right Mike does in the Constitution. Finally, the Guys turn once again to gerrymandering, in light of the Supreme Court overturning the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals' order that North Carolina redraw its Congressional districts by the end of January. Mike agrees with Jay that the Supreme Court made the right call, though they disagree concerning how the Court should ultimately rule. **What Mike's Reading** [Trump's Basic Instincts About the Political War Are Essentially Right, and The Establishment's Sense of It Is Essentially Wrong](http://bit.ly/2DvU9hU). **What Jay's Reading** [Bad Weather Is No Reason For Climate Alarm](http://on.wsj.com/2DAlEGQ). **Today's show is sponsored by SeatGeek**.

This week's show opens with Mike and Jay's discussion of the 'Nunes Memo', in which the GOP majority of the House Intelligence Committee suggests that the FBI obtained a FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign associate Carter Page using highly questionable evidence. Jay believes that it's important for this information to come out, while Mike argues that the GOP was wrong to release what he believes to be partial and misleading information. Next is a look at President Trump's State of the Union address. Both Mike and Jay agree that the SOTU is painful and largely pointless political theater - after explaining why they move on to discuss the two major substantive policy proposals in the speech: a four-point immigration plan and an outline of an upcoming $1.5 trillion infrastructure proposal. **What Jay's Reading:** [Polarization is an Old American Story](http://on.wsj.com/2FInPWp).

Mike and Jay start the show talking about the story that dominated the news this week: the testimony of former FBI Director James Comey. Neither of the Guys think that Comey dropped any bombshells, though Mike believes that this is still early days in an investigation that will go on for years and cripple the Trump administration. Jay thinks it might wrap up sooner than that, but that once again, Donald Trump's biggest obstacle seems to be Donald Trump. After that, they talk about Trump's pick for FBI Director. They agree that Christopher Wray is a sane and sensible choice (which is hardly a given in the Trump administration) but that the delay of nearly a month in naming a replacement for Comey is yet another example of how Donald Trump is in over his head. A story that didn't get the coverage it deserved this week was Kansas' experiment with radically lower taxes, and experiment the state legislature forced conservative governor Sam Brownback to abandon this week. Mike and Jay talk about what this might tell us about the effects of deep tax cuts and the impact it might have on similar proposals both in other states and at the national level.

The show opens with Mike and Jay discussing the aftermath of the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida. Mike takes issue with the inflammatory rhetoric of NRA head Wayne LaPierre, and while Jay agrees, he points out that there are those on the left who are equally inflammatory. In terms of policy proposals, Mike points out how rare schools shootings are, the difficulty in making them even more rare, and the almost certain unintended consequences of any such effort. Jay agrees, though seems less skeptical of proposals to arm teachers than Mike clearly is. Next, the Guys discuss the latest round of U.S. sanctions against North Korea. They both agree that North Korea has taken advantage of previous administrations - of both parties - with Jay arguing that this sort of tough approach is called for, given that history. Mike appreciates the logic, but is concerned about possible consequences if the U.S. backs North Korea into a corner with no way out. Then it's more on gerrymandering, in the wake of Pennsylvania's Democratic-majority supreme court drawing a Congressional map for the state after the Republican-controlled legislature and Democratic governor couldn't agree on their own map. While Mike and Jay believe that courts shouldn't draw Congressional maps, Mike believes it's an unfortunate last option when a court finds legislative maps to be in violation of a constitution (whether it's a state or the federal constitution). Finally, Mike and Kay discuss the new indictments against former Trump campaign operatives Paul Manafort and Rick Gates. Jay doesn't see the link between these charges and collusion with the Russians in the 2018 elections, and while Mike agrees, he points out that these investigations typically take years, and that Mueller is likely building a case. **What Jay's Watching: ** [**** The Times of Harvey Milk](http://bit.ly/2EQpPQA) **What Mike's Reading:** [Who Needs Congressional Districts](http://nyti.ms/2EOu675)? **[Here's the link to take the Stony Brook survey](http://bit.ly/2EM5k7n)** on the messages that political parties send to their members.

The show starts off with Mike and Jay discussing the list of questions Special Counsel Robert Mueller has for President Trump, and whether or not the president will end up answering them. They both agree that it would be extremely unwise for Trump to sit down for an extended interview, even if that means 'taking the 5th', which President Trump has previously (and erroneously) suggested only guilty people need to do. As a legal matter, even if Mueller concludes that President Trump obstructed justice, the only remedy is impeachment and removal by Congress, something that would require extremely compelling evidence. Then it's a look at the latest in the Stormy Daniels payoff, in light of new Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani's statement that the president reimbursed his attorney Michael Cohen for Cohen's hush money payment to Daniels. Mike thinks that Trump may have known about the payment, but proving it will be extremely difficult. Jay wonders if the media referring to Daniels as a 'former porn star' is a way of making her seem more legitimate, though Mike questions whether 'former porn star' is really that much better sounding than 'porn star'. After that, the Guys talk about trade - specifically the tariff extensions President Trump recently extended to Canada, Mexico, and the EU, as well as a high-level U.S. trade delegation that was in China this week. Jay argues that this is of a piece with Trump's typical business strategy of staking out a bold position, never letting go of leverage, and walking away from deals if they aren't favorably enough. Mike points out that this may work in the private sector, but doesn't always transfer over to global politics all that well. Then it's a look at the proposed T-Mobile / Sprint merger. Mike and Jay are in agreement that it's likely to enhance competition and be a better deal for consumers. Jay thinks that the Trump administration will ultimately not try to block the merger and while Mike hope's that's the case, he's not as optimistic as Jay is about that outcome. Finally, the Guys discuss the lawsuit filed by 18 states against the EPA's move to lower fuel economy standards as well as revoke a longstanding waiver that allows California to set more stringent standards. Mike supports the higher standards and the continuation of the waiver, while Jay feels the standards are worth reevaluating and that California shouldn't be allowed to set its own, tougher standards. **What Jay's Reading**[Why the Justice Department is Defiant](https://on.wsj.com/2rmgYgE).

This week's show opens with a look at the Iran nuclear deal that President Trump pulled the U.S. out of. Both Mike and Jay agree that it was an imperfect deal, but Mike feels we should have stayed in and worked to improve it. Jay feels that the deal was far more imperfect than Mike does, but he agrees that the president's propensity for walking away from international agreements isn't the best way to handle things. The Guys next turn to the historic summit meeting between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jung Un, which President Trump announced would be held in Singapore on June 12. Jay sees this as a potential step in the right direction and though Mike has plenty of doubts about President Trump's diplomatic ability, he agrees that after decades of stalemate, things could possibly be changing for the better. Even so, it's still very early days, and the U.S. is dealing with an incredibly secretive and untrustworthy country, so expectations should be very low. After that Mike and Jay discussion Gina Haspel, President Trump's nominee to lead the CIA. Mike acknowledges Haspel's experience and expertise, but agrees with Senator John McCain that Haspel's position on torture / 'enhanced interrogation techniques' is disqualifying. Jay disagrees arguing that much of the outcry against Haspel is simply due to her being Donald Trump's nominee. Next is a look at the Senate primary elections in Ohio, West Virginia, and Indiana. Neither Mike nor Jay saw much to surprise them, with Jay pointing out that there seemed to be a move away from extreme Republicans. Finally, Mike and Jay talk about former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen raising millions peddling his connection to the president. Mike says that while this sort of thing goes on all the time - in Republican and Democratic administrations - he's troubled by yet another Russia connection. Jay sees things more or less the same way, and in discussing the topic he clarifies his position on Trump, Russia, and collusion. **What Mike's Reading** [Why the specter of Marx still haunts the world](https://wapo.st/2IdEAKx).

Mike and Jay open the show with a discussion of the US-led missile strike on Syrian chemical weapons infrastructure, in response to Syria's alleged chemical attack on Syrian insurgents. Both Mike and Jay agree that the international community can't stand by and allow anyone to use chemical weapons, and they feel the strike was justified. Mike takes issue with the way the strike happened, arguing that President Trump doesn't have the Constitutional authority to carry out such attacks without Congressional authorization. After that, they discuss House Speaker Paul Ryan's announcement that he would not seek reelection. Mike points out that Ryan is the 27th Republican in Congress to either resign or not seek reelection, compared to only 11 Democrats, which suggests to him that many Republicans know a 'blue wave' is coming. Jay doesn't entirely buy this, arguing that many Republicans may simply be tiring of working with President Trump. Both Mike and Jay feel that Ryan has been unfairly portrayed by many in the left-wing media as an 'evil guy who hates the poor', though Mike points out that the right engages in this sort of thing all the time too, when they say that liberals 'hate America'. Next is a look at Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg's nearly 10 hours of testimony before Congress. They both thing he did a good job, and that it's unlikely any government regulation of Facebook is coming, at least not in the short term. Jay doubts whether the attempt by Russia to use Facebook to help defeat Hillary Clinton was very important. Mike agrees, but argues that the fact that a hostile foreign power was making any attempt is reason for serious concern. Following that is discussion of the FBI raid of Trump attorney Michael Cohen's office, including the seizure of attorney-client communications. Jay says that this is very serious, and suggests that there may be a double standard at work, with officials being more willing to authorize actions targeted at President Trump than they would be against others. Mike disputes this, saying that he's more inclined to trust in the integrity of top FBI and Justice Department officials than he is to trust in the integrity of President Trump. In a semi-related story, Mike and Jay talk about the Department of Justice's Inspector General report on former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, which concluded that McCabe lied to investigators as well as to former FBI Director James Comey about a story leaked to the Wall Street Journal. They discuss President Trump's reaction to the finding - that McCabe was under Comey's control - and point out that that's the exact opposite of what the report concludes. Mike point out that this IG finding puts something of a hole in the narrative of some on the left that McCabe was unfairly forced out of the FBI. **What Jay's Reading :** [Guys and Dolls: The Stories of Damon Runyon](https://amzn.to/2ELz8wa). **What Mike's Listening To:** [Ezra Klein talks to Sam Harris about Charles Murray](http://bit.ly/2IXFyuK). **Listener support helps make The Politics Guys possible**.

In this listener mail episode of The Politics Guys, Mike and Jay respond to listener questions, including: * Why Congress gives the president so much power in authorizations for use of military force. * The lack of attention both Mike and Jay have paid to working conditions to healthcare workers, and how those conditions affect patients. * Why Jay seems so dismissive of young people's protests. * What Jay (and Mike) mean when they call themselves 'Burkean'. * Why political flip-flopping gets such a bad name. **Show Notes** - [Nuclear Jenga - in a Bouncy Castle](http://bit.ly/2tAzepU).

This week's show starts with a discussion of the 'national security' tariffs President Trump announced he planned to impose on steel and aluminum. Mike and Jay are in agreement that the tariffs are a terrible idea and not at all related to national security. Jay points out that this is an issue where President Trump is getting more support from Democrats from his fellow Republicans, who were generally upset and dismayed at the announcement. The president further disturbed many in his own party this week by suggesting he was in favor of tougher gun laws than most Congressional Republican are likely to support. Mike makes the point that we've seen the president make similar statements on other issues - immigration most notably - and then fall back into GOP orthodoxy in the end. The Guys also look at a variety of other gun policy related developments that took place over the last week. Next is a discussion of Russian president Vladimir Putin's bellicose speech about the U.S. threat to global security and new weapons systems Russia has developed to thwart U.S. missile defenses. This comes shortly after NSA and U.S. Cyber Command chief Mike Rogers told the Senate Intelligence Committee that we're not doing enough to prevent Russian cyberattacks on our election systems. Finally, it's a look at what seems to be a West Wing in disarray, following the departure of Hope Hicks as communications director. Mike and Jay agree that the extremely high level of turnover - especially in the communications area - is yet another indication that Donald Trump is an impulsive person who hates being managed and bridles at the necessity of message discipline. **What Jay's Reading :** [The Only Good Thing About Donald Trump Is All His Policies](http://on.wsj.com/2oFHUGD).

This week, Mike and Jay start by looking at the $1.3 trillion dollar, 2,0000+ page budget passed by Congress and very reluctantly signed into law by President Trump. Mike sees it as not half bad, given Republican control of the legislative and executive branches, while Jay tends to agree with House Freedom Caucus concerns about out-of-control spending. Next is a discussion of the $60 billion in tariffs President Trump announced against China in response to China's widespread intellectual property theft. Mike is actually somewhat sympathetic to the Trump administration's approach, feeling that previous attempts to minimize Chinese IP theft have been largely unsuccessful. Jay argues that tariffs are likely to be too blunt of an instrument to effect significant change. After that, the Guys get into privacy in social media in the wake of the Facebook / Cambridge Analytica scandal. Both Mike and Jay agree that a loss of privacy is the price we pay for 'free' use of social networks and wonder if this price is too high. Following that is a look at the special election in Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District, where Democrat Connor Lamb won in an extremely conservative district. Mike sees it as a sign of Democratic voter enthusiasm and expects a wave election in November that will give the Democrats control of the House of Representatives. Jay isn't so sure, and questions whether the Democrats will be able to replicate their success in PA 18 in other races. To close, Mike and Jay discuss the latest shake-up in the White House, with National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster being replaced by John Bolton. Mike thinks that Bolton is too hawkish, too impulsive, and reinforces President Trump's worst instincts. Jay is more of a fan of Bolton, but agrees that President Trump would benefit from more voices of moderation. **What Jay's Reading**[The Gathering Stormy](http://bit.ly/2GigTTJ).

This week, Mike and Jay start with a look at the Trump Administration's announcement that it would be imposing hefty steel and aluminum tariffs on U.S. allies Mexico, Canada, and the European Union on 'national security' grounds. The administration is also considering a major tariff on imported cars (also ostensibly for national security). Both Mike and Jay think this protectionism is one of the worst things to come out of the Trump administration, though Jay is more hopeful that it's more bluster from the president that won't end up as set policy. After that, they discuss the off-again, on-again summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jung Un. Mike says that President Trump is exactly the sort of person least suited to carry out the sort of careful, patient negotiations that could defuse the threat posed by North Korea. Jay feels that the president's show of strength is the right approach for North Korea, though both he and Mike wish the president understood the importance of dealing with U.S. allies differently than he deals with adversaries. Next is a look at the extremely good jobs report. Mike points out that while the U.S. is in the midst of the second longest expansion in modern history, wages are still somewhat stagnant and economic growth is far slower than it's been at many points in the post World War II era. Both Jay and Mike agree that President Trump can't claim responsibility for the expansion any more than President Obama could, and they lament the tendency of the media to overemphasize the importance of government when it comes to economic growth. Then they turn to the Supreme Court's decision to not hear a case involving an anti-abortion law from Arkansas. While Mike and Jay differ on the wisdom of abortion rights restrictions, they agree that the Court was correct on procedure. In the end, they expect Arkansas' law to be overturned as unconstitutional, as the Court did with a similar Texas law in 2016. Finally, the Guys discuss President Trump's pardon of conservative provocateur Dinesh D'Souza, and whether the president is using his pardons to send a message to people Robert Mueller has indicted in his Russia investigation. Mike doubts it, believing that it's simply President Trump being his impulsive self for the most part. Mike somewhat surprises Jay by favoring the president's pardon of D'Souza, who Mike says is an awful person, but who was unfairly singled out by the Obama administration for prosecution. Jay points out that it's the awful people who are most in need of protection - and sometimes pardons.
