Hey, everybody. Welcome to the McCrack podcast. Exclusive coverage of the first and hopefully only debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. I'm Jerry J.J.8 Saxon here with Nick Hauselman. Nick, to go ahead and start this thing off, man, I thought there was an opportunity for this
