Mark hosts Ed Goeas, co-author with Celinda Lake of the Wall Street Journal bestselling book A Question of Respect: Bringing Us Together in a Deeply Divided Nation. Goeas reflected on the root causes of polarization and the loss of trust in America’s political system, drawing on decades of experience as a leading Republican pollster and co-director of the bipartisan Battleground Poll. He shared insights from the book on the dangers of cynicism and toxic incentives in politics, as well as potential paths forward—from reforming social media and cable news to tackling campaign finance and rebuilding respect across divides.
