Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Weekender edition on the Muckrakeye podcast. I'm J.G.

It's sexton. I got some bad news for everybody. Our beloved Nick Hausman is again out of the office. He is running low on vacation days. I'm a little bit concerned. Here's the thing. It is a jam pack news day. I wish I had somebody

handsome. I wish I had somebody intelligent. I wish I had somebody funny and insightful. I just,

I'm pulling out my hair what little I have left. If only a hero would come out of the miss.

Jared, Pete Dominic is here.

Pete Dominic,

Pete Dominic,

I mean,

I'm none of those things.

I could have gotten you John Fugel saying or Dean Obidalla's number.

I refuse this.

What a surprise that you showed up in this Zoom chat.

I just saw this this this link to the zoom and it was just said, hey, come on over here for a good time. And so I was like, I like a good time. And I clicked on it. And there you were talking. And I think this was meant to be. I love it. I am very, very aroused by this. This is wonderful. We have a wonderful weekender edition. Everybody run over to patreon.com slash my great podcast. Sign up. You want to listen to this. I'm going to go ahead and tell you what's happening here. At the end of this episode, I have already set up a trap in which Pete Dominic and I will talk about aliens. We'll talk about UFOs. I'm so jazzed about that. Before that, we have to talk about approval ratings. We've got to talk about Ron DeSantis and Pierce Morgan. I'm sorry. But here we have to start with this, Pete. We were promised an indictment this week. We were promised perp walks. We were promised that Donald Trump was going to be held responsible for his crimes and his actions.

I've always taken a wait and see approach with this thing.

The developments that have taken place, we've had rumors that it was going to happen this week,

that he was going to turn himself over on Friday.

Alvin Bragg, the district attorney in the case, has now come out and says that

Trump leaked this entire thing in order to create a defense, probably raise money, and to rally

Republicans for his cause. Pete, I want to hear what you have to say about what you are seeing,

what you're feeling about this entire situation. As always, it feels fluid and weird. Where are you on Trump

indictment watch 2023? Well, I, Lucy was holding that football and I was like, oh, hey, I like,

there's Lucy. And she's got the ball. And so I ran. I'm going to kick it so far this time.
