Marshall and Saga here welcome to the realignment's new weekend edition. A bunch of listeners

and friends wrote in with questions about Israel, Hamas, Gaza, and the unfolding war. So Saga and I

got together on Friday to record this episode. Since great questions kept coming in over the weekend,

I recorded some additional responses this Sunday morning. We both really like this format,

so expect these weekend discussion AMA and review episodes to keep coming. To be frank,

people have also asked about Saga's absence from the main interview show. We started the podcast

as a once a week in-person recording in DC, right when we were just starting out in our careers

in 2019. It's been more than four years and in that time, our careers themselves,

him leaning hard into YouTube and the newsbeat and me taking my new role at UT and work in

Think Take Word seriously, along with our ideology and availability to record a multi-week interview

show really has just diverged. That said, we still love working together so these weekend

episodes and expanded and rebooted Supercast AMA section are the perfect way to integrate

them back into the realignment. So if you miss Saga in this format tune in on Sundays. He won't

always be there but will be more than firmly consistent. Last but not least, the Sunday editions

will feature, as this episode does, a paywalled section for our Supercast subscribers. Supercast

is the main way we pay for the show and our production team. Think of it as an upgraded version

of Patreon. We've included a bunch of free AMA in this episode, but if you'd like to hear

the full version of this conversation and my response to the questions, go to reallignment.supercast.com

or click the link at the top of this episode in your podcast player's show notes. If you have any

questions you'd like for the next AMA, go to the Supercast website and sign up. You can also,

of course, send emailed questions into reallignment.pod at gmo.com, but those will not be guaranteed

to be included and you might not hear our response because they will probably be paywalled as well too.
