| 0:00.0 | Marshall here. Welcome back to the Realignment. |
| 0:08.5 | Happy Thursday everyone. Welcome back to the show. |
| 0:11.6 | Excellent episode for you today. I spoke with Peter Goodman, who is the New York Times's |
| 0:17.2 | Global Economics correspondent, about his book Davos Man, How Millionaires Devoured the World. |
| 0:23.6 | One of my favorite things that I can do is interviewers speak to guests towards the end of their |
