Sheriff Richard Mack joins the show to discuss his book "The Democrat Murder of America," then James Cohen (Executive Director) and Ann Schockett (Co-Chair) of MoreLikeUs.org explain how their organization is working on college campuses to correct political misperceptions, teach civil discourse skills, and show students that Americans share more common ground than the media portrays. The conversation covers the psychology behind political polarization, the importance of grounding debate in the Constitution, threats faced by public servants like Amy Coney Barrett, and practical frameworks (RUN, CAST) for having better conversations across the aisle.
