| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lincoln Project. I'm your host, Reed Galen. Today, I'm joined by |
| 0:13.2 | co-founder of the Lincoln Project, host of LPTV's The Breakdown, back after Labor Day, |
| 0:18.3 | and author of Everything Trump Touches Dies. Rick Wilson. Hey Reed. |
| 0:22.9 | And also on the show today is Peter Shorsh. Peter is the president of extensive enterprises |
| 0:27.0 | media and is the publisher and executive editor of FloridaPolitics.com. Influence magazine, |
| 0:32.7 | a suite of podcasts and email newsletters including Sunburt, the morning read of What's Hot |
| 0:37.4 | in Florida Politics. In addition to publishing work, Peter is a political consultant to numerous |
