Hey everybody, Jared Yates Sexton here. I just want to let everybody know that the paperback edition of American Rule, How Nation Conquered the World, but Failed Its People, is coming out this September 14th. It's available for pre-order right now. If you haven't had a chance to read this book, it is my reconsideration of American history.

This is exactly what the people who are hysterical and losing their minds about critical race theory and accurate history.

This is what the actual history of America looks like, where we came from, how we ended up at this point, and unfortunately, where we're going if we don't learn from that history. This new edition also includes a new chapter that goes beyond the end

of American rule, the original edition, and this new chapter features a reckoning with the

events of January 6th, with the attempted coup of the election, Trump and all of his cronies trying to overthrow the presidential election, and of course the ongoing tragedy of the pandemic.

If you haven't had a chance to pick up American rule, this is your chance.

It also would make a great gift for your friends and

family, for people who either know what's going on or who could use a little bit of insight

into what is happening right now. I've heard from a lot of people that's made a difference.

So if you will, check that out. It's American rule. How Nation conquered the world that failed its people, the paperback, which comes out September

14th.

Thank you for your support.

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the Muckrake podcast.

I'm J.D.

Sexton, as always, I'm here with Nick Housselman.

Nick, we got to talk today about grifters and thieves and the danger that they pose, which is just another day in the life, is it not?

It is.

Sadly, it is.

That's unfortunately where we are.

And to begin this conversation that I think is going to be illuminating in terms of what

the Republican Party and the right are doing, we have to go to the Keystone State in Pennsylvania.
