Jared Yates Sexton

Before the show's over, we'll have Mark and political science professor Robert Pate discussing his new book, Our Own Worst Enemies.

And one of my favorite conversations to have is any conversation with political commentator and author Jared Yates Sexton, who will be joining us before the end of the show as well.

But before we get to all of that, and that's going to be great, don't get me wrong, we have to talk about love and marriage.

That's where I want to start.

Yeah.

We want to keep the party going at this point.

Someone who I also enjoy speaking to is Jared Yates Sexton, who's a political analyst and author of, among other things, The Midnight Kingdom, A History of Power, Paranoia, and The Coming Crisis.

So let me bring in Jared into the conversation right now because we have so much to discuss.

Tomorrow on the Mark Thompson Show, John Rothman will be with us.

Also, Jared Yates Sexton will drop by.

Always a great conversation with him.

We'll talk lots of politics and the news of the day.

And then like when it comes to the Republican scandals, Trump, my favorite tweet ever, I brought this up a few times recently, was that that journalist who.

Jared Yates Sexton the guy who was like you know they were working on that Russian story for years and Trump just fucking posted the emails I think I was like I worked on this for a year and you just tweeted it out what the fuck yeah there

were ellipses and he's like and he just tweeted it out yeah it was a classic administration is

crazy

He's a presidential historian, author as well.

And Jared Yates Sexton joins us on Wednesday.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

We link to it every week.

He cruises through on Wednesdays.

He's the brilliant Jared Yates Sexton.

Author and political analyst.

Welcome to the MuckRig Podcast.

I'm Jared Yates Sexton.

My regular co-host, Nick Hausman, is out of the country right now, so I'm going to be holding down the fort for the next two weeks.

I think I'm going to take this time these next couple of weeks and, you know, regularly on the muckrake, we go through breaking news, give historical context and broader, deeper analysis.

But no, we're not making nice.

And to talk about what happens if they don't read the room, I'm going to have Jared Yates Sexton on because he's been worrying about this for a while as well.

I kept you five minutes longer than I promised I would, Keith.

Great conversation.

Be informed.

Don't be a fascist.

I'm going to be back with Jared Yates Sexton.

Keith Edwards is on YouTube.

This is where I'm going to slightly disagree with both of you.

First, I believe that Joe Rogan is inauthentic and he knows about all of this, but he also knows that, and Jared Yates Sexton, who I was talking to when I was still in a few, Mark, made a great point.

I believe that there is a conscious effort and understanding that there's going to be life after MAGA.

And a lot of these tastemakers, be it Tucker Carlson or Megyn Kelly or even Ann Coulter in her most recent remarks and Candace Owens, all of them, they're kind of downshifting at this point and preparing their audiences for life after MAGA and giving them this permission structure to start breaking away.

And so we'll be joined by Rory Riley Topping and Josh Rultenberg on the subject of gerrymandering.

And I love the opportunity to speak with political commentator and author Jared Yates Sexton.

He will also be joining us.

There's so much to cover.

And in fact, some of the things that I'm going to cover in this open, I'll be sure to cover with John Rothman and also Jared Yates Sexton.

Let me say good morning and hello to Kim McAllister, producer of the program.

My friend on the ones and twos, Tony Sauter and Dino.
