Hey, everybody. Welcome to the McCrack podcast. Nick Houselman, Jared Yates-Saxston. We're back after the Thanksgiving wall. I don't know about you, Nick. I'm thankful to be here. I am thankful to get back to my normal programming for sure. Yeah, it feels that way, right? It's like you get all ramped up for the holiday. You have a few days off or whatever. And then I'm ready to be back. Yes. I mean, everybody was in town. I had to entertain a lot. It just was kind of tiring in a way that I am ready to. Just yeah, I want my normal schedule where I know what's going on every day, and it's just easy and manageable. We are control monsters. Are we not? We like our things, when we want them and how we want them, correct? We as in the human race? You can say human race. I was talking about me and you. Okay. I don't like the thing that I'm a control monster. But not a control monster. Trying to be clever. Okay. Fair enough. Yes, we like to know.

We like to pretend that we have some version of control over our lives.

Amen, don't we.

Don't we, don't we, don't we, don't we?

Well, everybody, we are back to it.

We are bringing you political coverage, unlike anywhere else. On that note, Nicholas, on Thursday night, this Thursday, November 30th, Ron DeSantis is going to

debate Gavin News. That's right. The Florida governor is going to debate the California

governor on Fox News. That's 9 p.m. Eastern. Apparently Sean Hannity is going to host it. I

can't wait to see what he does with it. Because we are political sickos, Nick,

over at patreon.com slash my Craig podcast, we're going to be doing a post-debat analysis because, and we were

talking about it before we started recording, I'm really interested to see what this is going to be like,

and I think it's going to have implications that go beyond this debate. I hear you. I mean, we know that the

toe has been being dipped, is dipping perhaps by Newsom. Perhaps he's thinking that something

might happen between now and November of next year. But yeah, I mean, listen, we've seen Newsom go on

Hannity's show a couple times now.

And I'm sure the ratings were really good for when he did it. So they're like, sure, let's do it. Let's do something more and let's all make some more money, I guess, and get some more exposure. There's a lot going on here. There are going to be a lot of implications for not only the presidential race of 2024, but also where American politics are going. this is Gavin Newsom's big coming out party.

This is him showing if he can be on a national stage, you know, doing a debate. And by the way, we'll talk more about what this debate's going to be like. But go over to patreon.com slash Mike Craig podcast. Again, this Thursday night, November 30th, the thing starts at 9 p.m. Eastern. It's supposed to go about an hour and a half, which means at 10.30 Eastern, Nick and I are going to be going live. We'll give you our takes

our takes our analysis, all of that good stuff. Also, it gets you access to the weekly

weekender episode on Fridays. Again, Patreon.com slash Mike Craig podcast. But Nick, we are roughly

50 days away from the first contest of the 2024

presidential primary. That's right. Next January, in Iowa, we are going to see Trump, DeSantis,

Haley, I guess Christie will still be there. I don't know, but we're under 50 days.
