Hey, this is the moment. I'm Brian Coppelman. Thanks for listening. My guess today is Dan

Fifer. Am I pronouncing that correct?

You are correct?

Yes. Who you know from Keep It at 1600 Pod Save America was the Combs, Deputy Combs Director in the Obama White House,

then the Combs Director in the Obama White House, and is one of the most important voices on the left but really in American politics right now if you don't include as Mike we spent some time with Mike Murphy today and he talks about the guys in the

aluminum foil hatch. So if you exclude the guys in the aluminum foil hats,

Dan is really high up on the list of the most important people. I have no conspiracy theories to sell you today, yes.

So, hey, man, thanks for being here.

This is a huge treat to me, as I said to you before we came on Mike.

Huge fan of Billions.

Rounders was a defining movie in my life.

And even though I know nothing or care nothing about poker,

and I have a one month old at home,

so I've been up watching cable movies at night and

rounders is on almost every night. I love that that's that you know I think Bill

Simmons thinks that's a real part of the reason why the movie took off and

thanks but I listen the the times are I'm someone who loves to talk

about me and my movies but the times we're in demand actually that we have a different

conversation you have a new book that's that's out

next week today it's out today it's out now and in fact this podcast is going to

hit the day we do this interview it's going to hit middle of the night

so your new book is out and it's called.
