Hi, everybody. Jerry Jeeb Sexton. I'm back. It's the Weekender Edition. Welcome to it. Hi, buddy. How's Nick Howseman doing? You know what? I was almost not ready for a wikender opening. I was just all set to get into the normal pod. So, hey, this is exciting. We can kind of relax a little bit more now. Great. I needed it. I took a couple of days off.

I had some business to attend to. And now here I am. I have a cold beer, which is needed after this week. We are here. We have so much to talk about. I know this is going to shock everybody. Clarence Thomas is corrupted. I don't I don't know how to break that to

people. We've got states checking children's genitals in order to stave off trans panic. We've got

states throwing representatives out of their bodies. We have to address that. We have so

much to talk about. But listen, this is what the people came for.

My friend Nick Howseman, never ever underestimate his abilities.

He took care of the show on Tuesday.

He then, when Donald Trump was indicted and surrendered himself, did a special live show in order to cover it uh in my absence uh hats off to

you thank you as always my friend oh uh it was uh not a not a problem at all you had bigger

and better things that you were busy doing i didn't want to get in the way with that so we uh we did

it it wasn't perhaps as salacious as we would hoped i you know there's always always that, that, that, uh, that, that, uh, that promise of that with

Trump and live stuff, but, uh, it was actually really good. And we got a great, uh, Paul Wasserman broke it down. You should check it out. Uh, and we got a much deeper understanding of, uh, how these proceedings work and, uh, what we should expect. It was good. And I got to tell you, we're going to talk about the indictment here in just a second.

But if you want to get up to date on the biggest breaking news stories,

and by the way, Nick, am I wrong here? We are entering into prime muckrake political campaign season.

Are we not? Oh, yeah. And that's why everyone's got to check out the Patreon.

That's why you have to go to patreon.com slash MikeRank podcast again. I got another two emails from

people who said, Jody 8th, Sexton, this is my apology. You have been telling me to sign up for this.

I don't know why I didn't. It is only $5 a month. What was I thinking? I pay more for that for

streaming services that I do not use. Please, accept my apologies. That is Patreon.com slash

my Craig podcast keeps the show independent, keeps it without ads as the way it should be.

And by the way, it's going to allow you access to live shows after, my God, we do a live show

after almost every debate.
