Netanyahu Visit, Supreme Court, Media Consumption

Mike and Ken open this preview of the supporters' midweek show with a look at Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress. They agree that the US doesn’t have a lot of leverage over Israel given America’s strategic interests in the region and concerns about Iran. Mike argues that members of Congress who are stridently anti-Israel are actively hurting their party’s chances in the upcoming elections. Next, they turn to a discussion of the Supreme Court, first focusing on the jurisprudence of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and then moving into a more general discussion of the Court. They close by talking about the media sources they most frequently turn to for news and analysis.
