Marshall here. Welcome back to the Realignment.

Hey everyone, thanks for the breathing room with the extended end of the year break.

Now the show is back and better than ever. Speaking of better, I've decided to start

banking episodes so that we have more time to make transcripts,

and at the show properly, and prep as much as possible. The cost of this new plan is that sometimes

the show will get a little out of date. So our conversation today about Kevin McCarthy's

speaker election obviously ended up getting settled, but the underlying dynamics are going to

on the Realignment. Bradley has worn a lot of hats. He's a venture capitalist at Tusk

Senator Chuck Schumer, who is now the Senate Majority Leader. Because of Bradley's wealth of

experiences, we're going to kick the year off with his analysis of how Republicans are going to

proceed throughout the rest of the year, where the tech industry is going, his long-standing

mobile voting idea, slash case, and his predictions for 2023 at a broader level.

For a dive in, a couple quick reminders. One, this show is brought to you by our supercast

subscribers. We raised enough from the show last year that we are going to be able to independently

run and produce the show. Moving forward, obviously a huge shout out to Lincoln Navarco,

who continues to support the show, but it just means that Lincoln and the Hulofundation support

will go to up-leveling rather than just the foundation, which everyone here has been so helpful

to support. Starting this week, we're going to significantly up the amount of subscriber
