Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Muckrake podcast. I'm Jared J. It's next time we're here with my buddy, Nick Allison. Nick Alston, how are you doing? I'm good. I'm good. How are you doing, Jared? I'm doing better now that Ronald Dion DeSantis is not running for president of the United States of America anymore, which we will get into in a minute. But yeah, things are still a little bit rough, but that's what we do on the show, right? I made meatballs this weekend.

I'm not sure why. I just did. All right. We will get into all that. A reminder to everybody, first of all, to support the show, go to patreon.com slash one quick podcast. But also, Nick, the primary train rolls on. And that's right. You're going to be listening to this on Tuesday, January 23rd. That means tonight at 10 p.m. Eastern time, you can go over to Patreon and Nick and I are going to be discussing the results from New Hampshire. We have your preview for that primary here in a little bit. But go over to patreon.com slash my Craig podcast.

Nick, everybody is saying this isn't even a Donald Trump way of saying it. People are actually saying that they appreciate having actual analysis instead of the old

standard stuff. So I think everybody needs to go ahead and jump into that pool.

Absolutely. If you aren't in that pool, then stop dipping your toe and get the whole,

the whole, all your legs and you're all the way up to the waist, at least.

Get the whole enchilada. Let's go ahead and mix the metaphors.

But that's right, everybody. Ronald, Dion, DeSantis has exited the presidential race.

Nick, let's hear from this charismaless.

But wait, what are you calling him? What's his middle name? Deon. Really?

His name is Ronald Dion DeSantis. I'm, I didn't know that. I've been laughing about his

middle name, the entirety of his political career, Nick. I have not. I guess I just

sort of gloss- You just, it just glazed over.

Yeah, I called him Ronnie Dion.

I, okay. Wow, we'll have to watch. We'll go back and do an edit of like all of the greatest hits with that. I missed that. But I found it so funny that his middle name is Dion. I don't know why it's funny to me, but it's funny. but let's hear, uh, let's hear from the disgruntled charismaalist,

uh, governor himself leaving the presidential race.

Greetings from Florida.

The warmth of being home is a reminder why I've chosen public service.

Joining the United States Navy and serving in Iraq to representing the people in the U.S. Congress and now serving as governor of Florida.

And it reminds me why I decided to run for president to fight for those who have been forgotten in this country.

This is America's time for choosing.

We can choose to allow a border invasion or we can choose to stop it.
