Marshall here. Welcome back to the Realignment.

There's no question that universities

buy virtue of

commitment to debate and to descent to

Development of new perspectives and critiques on society. We are essentially sites of controversy and I think there is a trend

that has you know that at least as long as I've been in America I've seen where the universities

were events on the university campus often become

stories become places or

moments where broader themes about what is what is challenging America get played out.

If you're watching this on YouTube on our YouTube channel which everyone should go check out they've not tried it already

you will tell that I am recording this in a slightly dingy hotel in Miami

We've been talking about this for weeks if not months, but soccer and I are in town for the Realignment Conference and

broader programming that we're putting on this week. It's been really exciting. I love being in Miami. We've met a bunch of

Realignment listeners that a few of you actually heard of because they submitted really great questions. It's a huge privilege to be here

definitely hit me up on Twitter or at the Realignment email, realignmentpod at gmail.com if you're in town and want to meet up hang out

whatever mostly free, really excited to do it. Today's episode is

continuing our tradition

and we're focused this last part of the season of speaking to

voices that frankly are pretty mainstream voices of people who

hold either

centrist or center left or really views who at the same time are interested in speaking to the audience and the community that really built that we are really building here and that's really important to me.

There's been an interesting discourse that I'm going to write about in the sub-stack today
