Hey everybody. Welcome to the Weekender edition of the Muckrake podcast. A reminder, if you are not a patron already and you want full access to this show. And I promise you, this show is going in some directions today. You need to go over to patreon.com slash Muckrake podcast. Again, I'm Jard Yates. I'm here at Nick Hausman. How we doing, buddy?

I'm doing well. I'm doing well. I was awoken up from a bad dream that Hillary Clinton was in.

And it just so happened that some news was breaking at 4.30 in the morning in my time. I couldn't go to sleep.

Yeah, we got to hop on a boat, an airplane. We've got a head on over across the pond. Real fast, Nick,

we've got exclusive coverage of Boris Johnson resigning as Prime Minister of England. Nick,

will you go to that coverage? Yes, it's all sped up too he's like walking the podium

people can't see it he's running around the police are chasing him

two x speed absolutely they're wearing different hats

yes oh that's that's never

listen i've been laughing about playing that all day

because uh it it helps Nick to look at another superpower in absolute disarray and feel a little bit better about yourself.

Sure.

What's interesting to me is trying to, you know, get the equivalent of what happened, like what would happen here that would match what's

going on over there because maybe people didn't hear bojo which i love that bojo have you heard that

they call them that he's never heard him called bojo i love it terrible bojo uh resigned

bojo no go yeah in a very defiant way like he had said he wasn't going to resign the hell no I think he's an expletive in when he said he wasn't going to. And then, you know, one too many scandals, you know, got him out of there. So just to get people up to speed and what has happened and why we're getting ready to watch a transfer of power. And by the way, for anybody who's been trying to keep track of how parliamentary politics works

in Great Britain, good luck, everyone. What a terrible messed up system this is. Boris Johnson has

been an absolutely ruinous, awful prime minister. He's been a blight on the United Kingdom,

who's made possible by Brexit, which was just another theater

in this situation we're dealing with where the wealthy are trying to destroy everything that we

have.

He is out because, on one hand, he disgraced the office by having a bunch of COVID parties
