Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Muckraig podcast. I'm Jared J. Sexton. I'm here with my near,

dear friend, Nick Houseman. How you doing, buddy? I'm doing. I'm doing well. How are you doing,

Jared? I'm doing. That's the answer. I'm doing. Yeah. As long as it's an active verb, I think we're

doing, we're okay.

As long as you're moving forward, those not busy being born or busy dying is our good

friend Robert Zimmerman once told us.

Everybody, we are here.

Listen, we got everything on this episode.

We have country music hits that talk about vigilante justice.

We have Israel just falling into the illiberal abyss.

We've got Samuel Alito saying things.

I really can't believe he's saying out loud, but there's also that. And, of course, the Donald Trump campaign rolls on.

We've got to talk about all that.

But before Nick, we have an exciting new feature for our Weekender episodes.

That's right. For our Patreon

exclusives and a reminder, go over to patreon.com slash Mike Craig podcast in order to get access

to the Weekender episode on Fridays. It'll make your Fridays better. I'll make your weekends

better. It will make your life better. We are going to roll out new features in which on these Weekender episodes, if you have questions,

we're going to answer them. Nick, and I don't know about you. I have always enjoyed answering

questions on our live shows when we do the Weekender tapings. I know that's like one of your

favorite things we do too.

Absolutely. I mean, I would, I hope that more people want to get involved and be part of the show. That's really exciting to hear their voices and actually let them ask the questions directly. Well, we always have these things where people are reaching out. They're sending emails. They're commenting on the episodes. All of that stuff. This is going to streamline the process. here's how we're going to do it. It's going to be twofold. One, over at patreon.com slash my Craig podcast, we are going to post a link, which is going to allow you to record a voicemail. These things are going to be short. I think we're talking less than a minute, give or take, where you are going to ask your questions. Of course, you can make some comments. That's patreon.com slash muckrake podcast, which means that your voice, your questions will be on the show. Also, you can email us at muckrakepodcast at gmail.com. If you don't want to put your voice on the show, totally fine. You can email us there and we'll start answering these questions on future weekend or episodes. Right. We might even throw one, you know, on a Tuesday
