Today on the Playbook podcast is Donald Trump seeking an off-ramp for his war in Iran.

We've got the latest on a special election in Georgia and an exciting new podcast for you to listen to from Politico.

Hello, I'm Jack Blanchard.

And I'm Jonathan Martin. It's Tuesday, March 10th.

Jonathan, it's great to have you on. How are you doing, man? Thank you, Jack. Appreciate that.

We've got pretty exciting news from Politico this morning that we're going to start with. And the reason

we've got Jonathan on for you this morning, you'll all know Jonathan's columns on Politico, where

Jonathan is launching a new podcast today with Politico. It's out now. You'll all know Jonathan's columns on Politico where Jonathan is launching a new podcast today

with Politico. It's out now. You can listen to it after you finish. You have to listen to the end of

this first, but there you can listen to the other than this new podcast. Jonathan, tell us about

on the road with Jonathan Martin. Well, I didn't think that the Laurel needed one more podcast.

You guys do a great job, five days of week with the playbook podcast. But this is something different. And here's my vision for it. One part, Anthony Bourdain, one part lunch with the FP, a publication, Jack, you're very familiar with across the pond. And one part almanacs of american politics now the

political nerds listening out there and which i'm sure there are many given that this is the

playbook podcast will appreciate the references to all three and here's the idea i've been

traveling the country for 20 years covering politics and doing that I've had a lot of good meals with a lot

of politicians and a lot of fun joints. And we decided, let's keep doing that, but let's put a camera

and a mic with them and folks can sort of eavesdrop on our conversation. And it's going to be

wide-ranging. The first ones was Sarah Huckabee-Sandress, the governor of Arkansas.

She and I had some barbecue last week in Little Rock, and that was a lot of fun.

And we're going to do Gavin Newsom in California later in the month.

And the idea is basically everybody who I know, Jack, knows that I travel a lot. I can find a pretty good place to eat if I can't do anything else. And they're always texting me and calling me and email me and say, Jamart, I'm going to be in Omaha. I'm going to be in Louisville. I'm going to be in Seattle. And they say, where should I eat? What do I have to see? Where should I go? Is there one place that I got to have

dinner at? And so I said, I'm tired of the answer to these texts. I'll just put a long camera and I'll show you where to go. I love it. And I'm guessing that what we're going to hear is actually a really a human side to some of these politicians, Jonathan, right? You actually catch them in their more relaxed native habitat.
