Each day we're reminded there's nothing guaranteed about our democracy.

Nothing guaranteed about our way of life.

We have to fight for it, defend it, earn it.

Folks, it's up to all of us to protect the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the right to equal justice under the law, the right to vote and have that vote counted.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to the McCrack podcast. I'm J.D.8 Sexton here as always with Nick Houseman.

Here in a little bit, we're going to welcome on Chauncey DeVega of Salon.com and the

together. We, we, we, we make sure that we talk about nothing but critical race theory. We make

Oh, I was whispering in the pool while they swam by about, like, how, what this country really

was about. It's, you know, it's important to me. Can you imagine doing that on the Fourth of

July? By the way, just being the guy at like the picnic who's just like, yeah, everybody, this was actually founded on white supremacy.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, no, again, that just reminds me of my favorite line in Days and Confused when they're all getting out for summer's vacation.
