It's the weekend, hence another Weekender - as Jared and Nick pull apart more details of the Matt Gaetz Pleasure Train. The thread pulls us to Tucker Carlson's despicable takes on trans people, and they finish up discussing what they're watching, including a documentary whose goal was to identify the Q in Q Anon.

Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the latest grievance by the Right - how corporations recognize the game of sounding progressive in order to maintain market share, while the GOP threatens to punish them with legislation for daring to speak up.

Jared and Nick needed a live show to pull apart the craziness that follows Matt Gaetz wherever he goes. From being investigated for sex trafficking to blowing an FBI case involving his father, to showing nude pictures on the floor of Congress, there's a lot to go over and how it directly connects to the FBI working with Proud Boy members.

The good news: Nick is back from vacation! The bad? Republicans are openly discussing electing fascists and slaughtering their constituents with assault rifles.

Nick Hauselman is on vacation and lounging by the pool, so Jared Yates Sexton holds down the fort on this episode of the patreon-exclusive Weekender and discusses the possibilities of an ambitious Joe Biden presidency, the need for massive, radical change, and how the Left can use the GOP and the embarrassingly wealthy as foils to realize reform.

In a ridiculously cynical take, the Republicans are trying to hammer the Biden Administration for their treatment of political asylum seekers at the southern border. Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss how disingenuous the GOP is on this issue, plus what it means that the US is making an attempt to police bad behavior around the globe via sanctions.

Jared and Nick discuss the tragedy in Atlanta and how the leadership of the Republican party won't recognize how dangerous their rhetoric can become.

The Biden Administration is floating a rollback of taxes to their pre-Trump levels, possibly leading to more revenue and investment in things like education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

Then, Jared talks to Davis Parsons of the Nostalgia Trap podcast about the new Adam Curtis documentary "Can't Get You Outta My Head," the decline of American culture, and the need for a real reconsideration of history.

Come on. There's no way Nick Hauselman and Jared Yates Sexton weren't going to talk about the interview with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and the fact that the Right is standing up for blatant racism in the wake of revelations that white supremacy is alive and well in the Royal Family. A discussion of the history of empire and the weaponization of white supremacy also leads to talks about domestic terrorists joining the military and law enforcement, and eventually the topic of Andrew Cuomo's continued scandals and how partisanship can often keep us from seeing reality as it is.

Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman dissect CPAC and how clear it is that the Republicans are operating from a position of no policy/anti-progressivism. And as the Big Lie continues to be spread by the entire party, they examine how intoxicating it's been, and as a result, doing something not thought possible: expanding the size of their base.

In this excerpt of their Patreon show The Weekender, Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the manufactured outrage from the right over things as trivial as Hasbro renaming their spud universe "Potato Head." Plus, they take a deep dive into the documentary "Room 237" which is a film about conspiracy theories surrounding Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. While these theories pertain to a seminal pop culture touchstone, it's also easy to trace how this thought process can permeat the political landscape and lead to the toxicity we see today.

"A Certain Route To Failure" is the Muckrake Podcast's first audio-documentary that will explain how we've arrived at this moment of division, crisis, and confusion, beginning with this pilot episode "A Crisis of Confidence." Though critics and conventional narrative have come to regard President Jimmy Carter's "Malaise Speech" as one of the worst in presidential history, it was actually incredibly popular and well-received at the time. Faced with an energy crisis and a growing societal disillusionment, Carter addressed the United States on July 15, 1979 with a speech that sought to deal with our problems in a reasoned, honest manner and to rally Americans to move beyond divisive politics and consumerist culture. This series will examine this moment and the chain of events it began, culminating in our current situation where Americans feel totally removed from the political process and helpless to change their circumstances.
