Sheriff Richard Mack discusses his provocative new book "The Democrat Murder of America: Demagoguery in the First Degree" and its "jar of ants" analogy for America's political divide. Then James Cohen (Executive Director) and Anne Schocket (Co-Chair) of MoreLikeUs.org join to explain how their organization is bringing research-backed civil discourse training to college campuses — correcting misperceptions, reducing hesitancy around political conversations, and helping students realize they have far more in common than the media portrays. The conversation also covers the Constitution as a shared foundation for dialogue, why polarization is often overstated, and Sheriff Mack's own experience facing online attacks after a heated interview.
