Hey, everybody. Just a quick note, the people who enjoy these previews outside of the Patreon,

we felt Nick and I that this was an important episode. We're going to go ahead and release this thing

in full. Meanwhile, we will return next week back to these weekender editions, being Patreon

episodes. Go ahead and go over to patreon.com slash

muckrake podcast in order to gain access to those, but also support the podcast.

We really, really rely on that.

And we just thank you for being listeners.

Again, here we are.

Let's talk about it.

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the Weekender edition of the Buckingrague podcast.

I'm just going to tell you up front.

This is not going to be a lighter version of the podcast as the Weekender sometimes is.

Just a heads up, getting kids in the car, run around.

I have a wild feeling there's going to be a little bit of anger and profanity

lace throughout this one.

We are, of course, broadcasting here, Nick Hausman and myself.

We are in the wake of absolutely tragic, unbelievably disturbing, infuriating shooting in Yuvalde, Texas.

A gunman, as you all are aware at this point, went into Rob Elementary School, shot and

killed 19 students.

Nine and 10-year-olds, by the way, nine and 10-year-olds.

Just wrap your head around that for a second.
