    O Brotherhood, Where Art Thou?
    Oct 20 2026
    Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on Trump waiving the Russia sanctions passed in Lindsey Graham's name, two days before they took effect and three months after Graham died. Jared reads it as a thank-you note for the diesel deal and a warm-up for a rumored summit with Putin and Xi, a new Yalta for the authoritarian order replacing the American one. Then it's the riots in France, where Macron is rolling back civil liberties while Marine Le Pen waits in the wings promising law and order, and Albania, where protests against the Kushner resort keep growing, as Jared lays out the cycle in which liberals do the crackdown and fascists collect the reward. They close on the former Josh Hawley staffer who showed up at an Abdul El-Sayed event demanding he disavow the Muslim Brotherhood, and why the dual loyalty smear was run on Thomas Jefferson in 1800 and JFK in 1960 long before anyone aimed it at a Muslim running for Senate in Michigan.

    This is a preview of The Weekender. Sign up for our Patreon and get access to the full episode each Friday as well as special Live Shows and access to our community discord: http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on Ukraine's drones losing their Starlink connection mid-flight, with Elon Musk insisting it wasn't him and pointing at Trump, whose "energy ceasefire" Russia honored by bombing Ukraine's power grid. Jared has a reminder about what happens to American proxies once a better deal comes along, and then it's on to the Pentagon sending troops south to "fight drug trafficking" while cocaine gets cheaper in Miami, and the hack that cooked the fridges in 400 French supermarkets, which looks a lot like somebody testing the next theater of war.

    Raid Expectations
    Oct 13 2026
    Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman are back together and open on Monday's ICE and DHS raid of Ilhan Omar's Washington home, a warrant tied to her immigration status that came with no charges and arrived right on schedule for October. Next up is Trump easing restrictions on Russian oil and diesel just before demanding Ukraine swap out Zelensky for someone more willing to deal, while drone strikes on Russian data centers appear to have taken a chunk of the right's online bot army down with them. Jared and Nick then work their way down the corruption nesting doll to its smallest figure, Kimberly Guilfoyle, the ambassador to Greece accused of asking a GOP donor to cover her $100,000 Amex bill in exchange for favors that apparently included booking him on Tucker Carlson and getting Kid Rock to sing his song. They close on the fake story, built from AI-doctored phone calls and boosted by Elon Musk, that James Talarico spent his flu in an Ohio mental hospital, a smear so flimsy even The Blaze passed on it.

    This is a preview of The Weekender. Sign up for our Patreon and get access to the full episode each Friday as well as special Live Shows and access to our community discord: http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman reunite after two weeks apart to get into reports that the Pentagon has ordered Central Command to finalize new plans against Iran. Meanwhile the president is musing out loud that Iran should go ahead and hit San Diego or Los Angeles if people want to see a horror show. Jared explains why the false flag question can't be answered from inside an environment built to keep everyone guessing. Then it's Ken Paxton trailing in Texas while trashing Trump on tape, and a woman at a Byron Donalds rally who wants a federal law forcing her family to let her see her grandson.

    Nick Hauselman is fighting through some travel issues, so it's one more solo Jared Yates Sexton episode until the boys are back in town. In this episode, Jared moves through breaking news, including reports that Trump and cronies are getting their beaks wet while negotiating a ceasefire in Ukraine, the outbreak of pneumonic plague in Russia, the strange case of B1 bombers being pulled in a hurry from a British airbase, and the disturbing election results out of Brazil, where the Bolsanaro family is just cleaning up.

    Weekender PREVIEW: The Winds Continue to Blow
    Oct 2 2026
    One last solo show from Jared Yates Sexton before Nick Hauselman returns. In this episode, Jared sifts through developing stories, including the preposterous "Super Intelligence" summit at the White House, Pete Hegseth laying off generals and admirals and trusting "the future of war" to a committee including Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich, and the Department of Education rolling back Title IX protections because, well, cruelty and fascist barbarism.

    Sep 29 2026
    Nick Hauselman is still out of pocket, leaving Jared Yates Sexton to record another Professor Jared episode. Here, he begins with a look at climate change as a historical El Niño churns in the Pacific, then brings the issue into a larger context with breaking news that OpenAI meddled with governmental data (putting the blame where it belongs there), and the very sinister trend of tech oligarchs becoming weapons developers as democracy erodes. Oh, and there's a real big deep dive into the history of the military-industrial complex thrown in for good measure.

You'll get the bonus Weekender episode every Friday, as well as access to specials and livestreams, which will come in handy during the Midterm season.

    Nick Hauselman is still out of country, leaving Jared Yates Sexton to tackle the Paramount acquisition of Warner Bros., the monopolistic environment, the denial of journalists in the White House, and the economic system blinking in warning that the whole thing could come down at any moment.
