The Muckrake Political Podcast

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss a bombshell report that proves the Trump campaign isn't using the millions its raising on the campaign - rather for Trump's myriad indictments to the tune of $56 million and counting. They move over to Israel, where Benjamin Netenyahu is folliwng the Trump playbook by attempting to pass a law that would essentially castrate the Supreme Court - thereby getting him out of serious fraud and corruption cases filed against him. They finish up dissecting what country singer Jason Aldean is really saying with his new song "Try That In A Small Town."Go to http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast and become a patron.
