Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the fall of the Assad regime in Syria and what's next in the region.

The FBI Is Kash Strapped

The Muckrake Political Podcast ·

2024/12/03

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the nomination of Kash Patel to head the FBI - a curious pick considering he was a major player in the January 6th coup attempt. Nevermind that, though, he'll just be busy weaponizing the FBI to attack anyone who disagrees with the administration. Then they have to analyze Trump's intention to use the military in an attack on Mexican soil - something out of their 80's-Action-Movie addled brains. President Biden pardons his son Hunter, which ends

Trump Creep Is Real

The Muckrake Political Podcast ·

2024/11/26

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss a series of polls from CBS News that indicate pretty clearly that even progressives are accepting their fate and resigned to let Donald Trump have his way with the government.

2024/11/12

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss what Donald Trump is already putting into place, including Tom Holman as border czar (family separation will be a feature, not a bug), while mainstream media are all pledging to normalize Trump even more than they had been doing. The desperation from the Democrats is palpable, going so far as to suggest that Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor retire right now.To support the show and gain access to the Weekender episode on Friday, as well as
