In this town, the best prepared person in the room is the one who can argue the other side's case better than they can.

Claude helps you do that.

Stress test your position, anticipate the counterargument, find the holes before someone else does.

It won't flatter your thinking.

It'll sharpen it.

Today on the Playbook podcast, it's day two of the royal visit. King Charles of Great Britain will be back at the White House this morning.

But the main event today will be him addressing a joint session of Congress at 3pm.

Meanwhile, the Sunshine State, Florida has rejoined the districting wars

and the special session today will begin.

Hello, I'm Jack Blanchard.

And I'm Megan Messerley.

It's Tuesday, April 28th.

How you doing, Megan? I'm doing fantastic. It's the Royals Day, Jack. Are you excited? Am I excited? You are talking to a man who spent about five hours at the Royal Garden Party last night in Washington, D.C. Oh, my goodness. I was a journalist in the UK for like 20 years.

I got invited to zero Royal Garden parties in all that time. I come to America and look what happens. Straight in there. It's truly the land of opportunity. Yeah, it was an amazing occasion.

The sun came out with beautifully un-British weather. There was like lots and lots of people in the garden at the British Ambassadors'

presence, the most beautiful gardens in D.C.

King and Queen were there.

And all of D.C. turned out.

You know, you don't go to that many events where you see all big players from both sides
