  • Host talks more than guest

    Marshall- we know you are smart. But you need to pontificate less and engage with the guest more. The guest is why I listen. Not to hear you go on and on.

  • Marshall Kosloff is a barrel of manic sentence fragments. Tune into The Realignment and listen as the barrel is tipped and poured into his microphone. Give it a try and if it works for you, you may become a fan.

  • No longer interesting

    This used to be one of my favorite podcasts with interesting conversations addressing multiple topics, eras, and perspectives. I found great value it it’s dynamism and energy. Now, I find its singular focus on the abundance agenda flat and frankly boring. I have no issue with the abundance agenda as a whole but it’s just not a topic I care to hear about weekly. This podcast used to generate interesting conversations over dinner or long car rides but now I just remove it from my feed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

580 | Jake Tapper: How to Fight and Prosecute Forever Wars from Al Qaeda to Venezuelan Strikes and Mexican Drug Cartels
Q: What led to the U.S. military's shift from a civilian approach to a military approach in dealing with terrorism?
Tapper discusses how the failure to effectively prosecute terrorists using civilian law enforcement led to a military response as the U.S. perceived terrorism as an ongoing war rather than a law enforcement issue.
570 | Dan Wang: China's Engineering State, America's Lawyerly Society, and the Competition for the 21st Century
Q: Can you explain what those two terms mean and their implications?
Dan explains that China is an engineering state where leaders come from an engineering background, while the US is a lawyerly society where legal professionals dominate leadership roles.
570 | Dan Wang: China's Engineering State, America's Lawyerly Society, and the Competition for the 21st Century
Q: How would you describe what we're experiencing right now between these two countries?
Dan expresses that it's challenging to define the relationship simply, but suggests a parallel to a 'Cold War' dynamic.
569 | The Shah's Fall, Khomeini's Rise, and What It Means for the U.S. and Iran Today
Q: How should we think about our guilt within the context of this story?
At a certain point, history is actually just history, and it's not helpful. But history still does matter.
569 | The Shah's Fall, Khomeini's Rise, and What It Means for the U.S. and Iran Today
Q: What was it like writing or preparing to release a backwards facing piece of history as this moment was happening?
It was very odd, and of course, quite unexpected. Iran has a way of periodically kind of percolating up and onto the international consciousness.
