Ah, Nick Bedhurt. I'm learning the guitar. My fingers hurt. It doesn't feel good. Hello,

welcome to the Weekender edition of the Muckrake podcast. I'm Jare D.SX. I'm here with Nick

How are you doing, bud? And I was just, I was welcoming to the world of guitar players

since I also played a guitar. And I remember that those times when you were

trying to develop those calluses. But you know, the benefit of it is when you do get the caluses on

That's all I got to say about that. All right, everybody, we have a jam-pack show. For anybody, by the way, who's

join us at patreon.com slash McCrack podcast. And more importantly, we had tons of people there and they all enjoyed

it as well. They had a good time. Yeah. And plus, you know, don't forget, these shows are longer and

much more in depth on the Fridays when you get them from the Patreon side. So, you know,

you get much better value. Join us. The thousands upon thousands of you who are listening in this preview.

This show's packed. Listen, we got to talk. A new fighter might be entering the GOP primary race. We got to talk about that. The government might be shutting down. We have an impeachment inquiry that is absolutely embarrassing. The Trump organization has been ordered to be dissolved by a judge.

There is tons and tons to talk about today. Go to patreon.com slash my great podcast.

But Nick, we got to start with a couple of interesting tidbits that have been happening.

We've been covering the labor actions around the

country. Joe Biden this week went to Ibsalanti, which for the record is one of my favorite
