Marshall here. Welcome back to the Realignment.

Hey everyone, this episode is a long time coming. Ever since I moved to Austin back in the

Huge thank you to everyone who subscribed to the Supercast to make this possible and of

click the link in the show notes. That's where you can subscribe, five a month, fifty a year

assistant to the president for National Security Affairs and senior director for sovereign security

during the Trump administration. We're at a bunch of different topics here, really wide-wanging

conversation. Hope you all enjoy it. And of course a huge thank you to Lincoln Network.

I'm going to be in Miami for Lincoln's reboot conference this week so definitely come

say hi if you see me on the street or come to our programming this week. Hope you enjoy the

episode. Josh Stenman, welcome to the re-enlinement. Thanks Marshall, good to be here. It's incredibly

good to be here because we're in person. It's it's funny. I don't think we're going to get

into a screaming match here, but listeners always like Marshall, why aren't you pushing
