Hey there, happy Friday. I am pumped to have Ron Brownstein on today. This guy does I think the best work and analysis about the realignment happening in our politics.

He's been doing it for years. He is must read material in the Atlantic. So I want you to enjoy this conversation. On the back end of it, we'll have a mailbag. We really dorked out on politics. I got to tell you, it's like almost a political science class so if you want

some bonus content for your weekend with a little more laughs I stepped in for

JVL on the secret podcast with Sarah Longwell today. We talked a bunch about

women's basketball. We danced on the grave of no labels. We joked about

RFK Jr. Steroid use. There's a little saved by the bell talk. I mean you get it all. That is for

Bullwork plus subscribers only. So we'll put in the show notes a link to the

secret podcast or you can go to the Bullwork.com slash free trial to get a free trial for Bullock Plus, get access to the secret

podcast for 30 days. I hope you'll enjoy me and Sarah over there. Up next, Ron Brownstein,

and I take your questions with a mailback.
