Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Muckrake podcast Weekender Edition, Patreon exclusive.

I'm Jared Yates Sexton here with Nick Halsaman.

We got a lot of stuff to talk about today.

We got to talk about the plan that is currently in Congress right now to add seats to the Supreme Court.

We got to talk about the Republican Party, surprise, surprise, uh, embracing replacement

white supremacist theory. We got to get into all that. But before we do, um, we got to talk about,

you know, this is obviously a more casual episode that, that we do. It's a little bit more unbuttoned,

all that stuff. We have more fun in this episode. But we have to talk about something

that is just broken within the past couple of hours. We're recording this on Thursday,

April 15th. And the video of Adam Toledo, a 13-year-old boy in Chicago being shot by police

officer has just dropped.

I've watched it.

Nick has watched it in order to see what this is and stay abreast of this thing.

We need to talk about this in policing and police violence and where this comes from.

But I just want to say, before we move you in a step further absolutely putrid disgusting stuff yeah yeah I mean it's I get frustrated because I can already picture the defense

and you know he could get off because the kids running and it's in an alley and it's in the middle of the night

and it's dark and I know they can get a free stream of his hands up before they shoot him.

But I think the whole training, you know, we talk about defund the police.

It really should be like we need to change the way police are trained in these situations
