  • Summary

  • America is often described by the news media as being hopelessly divided between two opposing camps that hate each other. But not only is the reality among everyday citizens very different, in Washington DC itself politicians, non-profit groups, and several leading journalists are highlighting new efforts to find common ground. In episode 5, Bruce and Erik discuss their recent trip to Washington, where they met with Utah's Republican Governor Spencer Cox to learn more about his plans to work across the political aisle. Governor Cox was elected as Vice Chair of the National Governors Association and plans to put a special focus on depolarization and furthering bipartisan policy solutions. At a separate venue, they sat down with three other leading players in the bridging space: David Blankenhorn co-founder of Braver Angels, Keith Allred of the National Institute for Civil Discourse, and journalist Amanda Ripley who has written extensively about conflict. Also in this episode: Erik and Bruce also share their take on President Biden's State of the Union Address and the Republican response.
