In a cross-over episode with Hudson's Arsenal of Democracy podcast, Raj Shah, former Director of the Defense Innovation Unit, Managing Parter at Shield Capital, and co-author of Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley Are Transforming the Future of War, joins The Realignment. Raj and Marshall discuss the evolution of Silicon Valley's relationship with the U.S. military since the 2010s, his time directing the Defense Innovation Unit, where D.C. stands in the way of innovation, and how lessons from today's current conflicts should shape our approach to the future. 

In this quick audio essay, Marshall reacts to President Biden's exit from the 2024 campaign, analyzes the prospects for Vice President Harris, and wonders whether former President Trump is prepared for an election that could no longer be a referendum on Biden's unpopular presidency.

Season Premiere: Jonathan Darman, journalist, historian, and author of Landslide: LBJ and Ronald Reagan at the Dawn of a New America & Becoming FDR: The Personal Crisis That Made a President, returns to The Realignment. Marshall and Jonathan discuss why efforts to convince or force President Biden to drop his reelection bid failed, how LBJ's decision to leave the race at the height of the Vietnam War in 1968 informs how we understand Biden's motivations, the ways that the 1944, 1968, 1980, and 1984 elections offer parallels to today, and why there hasn't been a landslide electoral victory by either party in decades.

Aaron Renn, writer and Co-Founder of American Reformer, joins The Realignment. Aaron and Marshall discuss why despite his conservatism, he believes that the "neoliberal, non-woke-technocratic left" will be the source of American policy renewal, the case for the abundance agenda, populism's inability to solve the issues it identifies, the emerging bipartisan consensus around economic issues, and how today's political moment rhymes with that of the late 1970s.
