Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the latest polling indicating Ron DeSantis is a serious challenger to Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican Primary, and yet an op-ed in the New York Times wants liberals to be less concerned with one of them. They then discuss the ridiculous law in Tennessee that will ban drag shows on public property and finish with the dubious findings by the Dept. of Energy (?) regarding the origin of the covid virus.  To support the show and access bonus episodes each week become a patron at http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast
