0:00.0	Marshall here. Welcome back to the realignment.
0:08.5	Hey guys, welcome back to the show. This is one of the last episodes I'm recording and releasing
0:15.2	right before I go off on my honeymoon. So I'll be off this week other than releasing this pre-record.
0:20.0	So I'll be looking forward to see you all on Friday again. Got a great episode today. I'm
0:24.2	speaking with the young Turks and Justice Democrats, Shank Wuger. Shank has a new book out. It's
0:30.4	called Justices Coming. Pop progressives are going to take over the country and America.
0:34.7	It's going to love it. This conversation will cover everything from the nature of the progressive
0:39.2	movement to debates around systemic corruption and injustice in American society and what if anything

1:27.7	over the country and America is going to love it. We've got the copy there for those watching
1:32.6	on YouTube. Before we get into progressive politics, I was thinking a lot about the introduction
1:37.9	and I think you and I have two fundamental disagreements that have nothing to do with public policy
1:44.3	and it'd be a really great way to set the tail by going to those. So I'll do them one at the time.
1:48.7	Number one, I think you trust in poll results far too much and when reality diverges from a
1:59.9	poll result, I think you attribute the difference between what a poll says and the actual realities
