Summary

This is a preview of our full episode that you can access over at http://Patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Become a member today and help us maintain our editorial independence as well as unlock a lot of special features like live shows and our private discord.  What a week for the GOP, as co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman go through Trump telling everyone he'd be a dictator, but just on the first day of his presidency so that's okay. George Santos was kicked out, Kevin McCarthy is quitting early, and it's no surprise people have lost faith in government. They end with a discussion of the three college presidents (Harvard, Penn, MIT) going before Congress to answer hypotheticals - and it didn't go well for them.
