Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman try to sort out Trump's first three days in office and how the onslaught of outrageousness is a feature, not a bug. From erasing LBJ's legacy on Civil Rights to dropping out of the WHO, a new day is dawning in America. They move on to the new AI revolution and how jealous this makes Elon Musk before finishing on the powerful plea for mercy by Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde - an important act of defiance right to Trump's face.

0:00.0	That one did not want to open. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Weekender edition of Muckraig Podcast.
0:07.5	Jared Yates next time here, Nick Housman. How you doing, bud? I'm okay. I'm hanging in there by thread.
0:13.0	Yeah, there's that. Listen, we have a whole lot to cover today. A reminder, go over to
0:17.9	patreon.com slash Munkwreck podcast. Listen to the entire episode, support
0:22.1	the show again. Corporate media is not, uh, it's not cutting it, Nick, and, uh, you need to
0:28.5	support the people who are actually going to talk about these things. Um, before we get into this,
0:34.0	um, you know, we would not be doing our job, Nick, if we didn't talk about what Trump's

1:41.1	would be the way to say it. Yeah. And I just wanted to make a couple of points
1:44.8	before we got to our regularly scheduled program. First things first, this is worse. This is
