“Bridging the Political Divide: Two Dads Defending Democracy” Joe Walsh and Fred Guttenberg at Johns Hopkins University
Former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh and Fred Guttenberg have strongly opposing political views. Walsh is an ardent gun rights advocate, and Guttenberg, whose 14-year-old daughter was killed in the 2018 Parkland School shooting, is a prominent gun safety activist. In this recording from the Hopkins Bloomberg Center of the live discussion between the two, moderated by Leah Wright Rigueur, a SNF Agora Institute Associate Professor of History, we hear from Walsh and Guttenberg as they tell their story of how two people who are diametrically opposed on politics and policy can lower the temperature and start listening to one another.

Of Course A Party Led By Donald Trump Will Produce a Bunch Of Mark Robinsons
Mark Robinson is no surprise. And the problem isn't that he wasn't vetted. He was better and Republican voters didn't care about the bad horrible stuff he's said and done. Kind of like how they are with Trump. The problem isn't Mark Robinson. The problem is the folks voting for Mark Robinson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump Is Unfit, Yes. But To Beat Him, Harris Must Answer Unscripted Questions From The Media & Voters
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's enough people who can't stand Trump that Harris can just ride the vibe to victory. But I think she'd increase her odds if she held press conferences and town halls. And...our immigration system is broken. It can't be ignored, it shouldn't be demagogued, it must be fixed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

All Trump & Vance Want to do is Divide Us.
Everything they say, everything they do is about dividing the American people. Maybe this will work again. But I hope not. I hope there are more Americans who don't want this country to be so dangerously divided. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Sad Truth: It's Not Surprising That Someone Would Try To Kill Trump. Not Surprising At All.
For 9 years, all he's done is spew hate, spread division, and incite violence. Every day. That's what he's done. Gone after individual people and groups of people in hateful, dangerous ways. So it's not surprising that eventually a sick, crazy person would resort to violence against him. It's wrong. But it's not surprising. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Both Are True: Trump Deserves Better Security. Trump IS a Threat To Democracy
It's time for Trump and any major party candidate for president to receive the same level of security that the sitting president and vice president receive. And I'm glad Trump is unharmed. And what happened yesterday doesn't take away from the fact that Trump IS a threat to democracy, and democracy IS on the ballot this November. Hosted on Acast.

Donald Trump is a 9/11 Denier
Two days ago, Donald Trump took a 9/11 denier with him to a 9/11 memorial service. He took with him as his special guest someone who believes 9/11 was an inside job, committed by our own government. And she was Trump's special guest at ground zero. So all we can assume is that Trump is a 9/11 conspiracist as well. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
