Hey everybody. Welcome to the Muck Wrecked podcast. I'm Nick Houselman and this is an announcement to let you know that we are going to be doing a new series called The Weekender over on Patreon that will appear every Friday.

And this is a little sneak preview so you can get a handle on what it's like and why you'd want to go over there and join the Patreon and be part of that community, which has been incredible and amazing with a lot of people there and a lot of great conversations.

So here it is. Check it out. And feel free to check out the actual Patreon as well at patreon.com slash muckrake podcast.

Hey, everyone. Cheers. Welcome to the Weekender edition of the Muckrake podcast.

We have a live audience with us tonight, which is always exciting, always enjoyable.

And because you are a patron, you can come and do this at any given time.

We hope that you do at some point.

amazing questions for tonight, truly going to stretch our brains tonight to actually give them proper answers.

we have to talk about a couple of things, you know, because this country is absolutely on fire.

And to begin, we're going to start with the deep, deep blue steel state of Georgia in which I reside.

Georgia, besides going blue in the last election and electing two senators. It's not great, Nick, restricting voting,

just basically making a complete mockery of itself. And we have to start with Representative

Andrew Clyde, a congressman who was part of the House Oversight Committee,

who were talking about the coup attempt of January 6th.

And Nick, we've been talking about this for a while.

What was going to happen with January 6th, how the Republican Party was going to treat it,

And unfortunately, it's even somewhat worse than maybe even we expected.
