Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman pull apart the disgusting rally held at Madison Square Garden by Donald Trump heading into the final week of the campaign. All manner of racist and xenophobic tropes were on display in the name of "comedy," and it remains to be seen if it ends up affecting the race in the slightest. They shift to the non endorsement of a presidential candidate by both the Washington Post and the LA Times, proving that the state of journalism in this country is on a teetering on the abyss.

Things have taken a turn as co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss not-so-new revelations from Donald Trump's former chief of staff John Kelly that Trump is, indeed, a fascist who pines for Hitler's generals. They shift to an op-ed from a conservative who claims Democrats are forcing her to vote for Trump as if she wasn't doing it anyway, and they wrap up on the little reported on fact that foreign actors are trying to hack into our election systems once again.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman cover an overlooked story of a widening war in Ukraine as Vladimir Putin asks Kim Jong Un for troops as his own Russian soldiers are dying in the hundreds of thousands on the battlefield. They then turn to the furthering unhinged performances of Donald Trump - from being the fry guy at McDonald's to suggesting that Abraham Lincoln should've just done a deal instead of fighting the Civil War, to the reaction of golf pros to seeing Arnold Palmer's member in the shower.

I recorded this conversation with Sarah Kendzior for my podcast Audio From A Collapsing State over on my Substack. I want as many people as possible to hear it, so I'm posting it here as a bonus episode of The Muckrake. Sarah and I discuss the worsening political environment as we head toward the 2024 Election, the awful trajectory of the Democratic Party as presently constituted, and where we feel this may be heading.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman cover the bottomless pit that is the Trump Campaign's disgusting tactic of lying and race baiting. From saying the quiet part out loud "They want the white guy..." to raising the specter of violence against his political enemies, Trump has no other alternative to squeeze out just enough votes to win the race. They also discuss how Democrats are flirting with the notion of not certifying a win if Trump gets more votes. Good Times.
