This week’s guests are Celinda Lake and Ed Goeas, award winning political pollsters and strategists who came together to write A Question of Respect: Bringing Us Together in a Deeply Divided Nation. The book is an exploration of how America grew so divided and how we might come back together.

In this episode, Justin asks Celinda and Ed what they think of the state of our democracy now, and why this was the right time to write their book. Celinda and Ed talk about three key parts of the book — social media, super PACs and cable news — and Justin asks both what they see as solutions in a difficult political time.
