Marshall here. Welcome back to the Realignment.

Good afternoon everyone.

Coming to you a little later in the day to offer a teaser of the Realignment's first

bit of supercast subscriber-only content. To get access, you can go to

realignment.supercast.com or click on the link at the top of your show notes.

We're two months into our supercast launch and a huge thanks to everyone who supported us so far.

As you all know, we've been able to go from two to three episodes a week and we've also expanded into discussion episodes

with just me and Sugger. But now we want to start offering people something exclusive in addition to all of this for their support.

We're starting with a monthly bonus interview and a monthly audience asking me anything that you can find linked on our supercast page at once again,

realignment.supercast.com.

The inviors are available for subscribers today and the AMA is going to release Wednesday afternoon.

The show is clearly reached to the point where we shouldn't just treat this as a side hobby slash side hustle.

So the picture support, especially now, is that when it comes to six exclusive content, we want to turn this into a full time endeavor that really takes this platform and the audience that we have seriously.

Now onto the exclusive episode and a quick teaser. Today's guest is Peter Bergen. We had him on last September to discuss his book, The Rise and Fall of the Sombim lot in.

A book I can't recommend enough. Now his previous book, The Cost of Chaos, The Trump Administration in the World has just been released in Paper Rack and it's the focus of our conversation.

The books actually relevant now that all indications are that Trump intends to run again in 2024, making his really unique approach to put it lightly to the world a real focus of the upcoming campaign.

And how his critique of the 2015 bipartisan foreign policy establishment and the status quo that that foreign policy establishment had to consensus on is deep we relevant now.

Meaning this isn't just history. It's actually preview slash half written tale. Now determine what's coming next in the book.

We've got everything covered between the fight on the Trump foreign policy team between the America firsters like Steve Bannon and the globalists and Steve Bannon's telling like Steve Manuchin and of course HR McMaster the National Security Advisor.

Trump's fire and fury approach to North Korea, how his deal with the Taliban set up Biden's approach to the withdrawal from Afghanistan 2021, the campaign against ISIS, the massive debate over Trump's approach to China, the Iran nuclear deal, the killing of Krasam Soleimani, the hide of the Iranian River Lusya Guard Corps, Syria, all those topics.

I can't hit all of them, but I just keep thinking about this book how so much is covered in it that you know just taking the chance to just think through these episodes from a very repotterial perspective is incredibly important.

It's definitely something we want to talk about with this audience a lot moving forward. So once again, I'm going to offer you a quick teaser of that conversation to get the full teaser to get the full part of the conversation.
