Jessica, a 2021 graduate of Arizona State University, shares the story of her and BridgeUSA's journey to try to bring open and civil discourse to Generation Z, fighting against both the political apathy and the apprehension towards sharing views that has become all too prevalent across college campuses. Throughout their discussion, these two explore the successes and challenges experienced by BridgeUSA in its first six years, working to understand what they mean about the state of our nation. The organization's journey has not always been an easy one, from being branded both a right- and a left- wing group, to dealing with red tape from administrators, to struggling to reconcile maintaining a civil and positive atmosphere with making sure everyone feels free to share their thoughts (even if those thoughts might come across as offensive to some) - a delicate balance which the two debate. Throughout all that, though, BridgeUSA has bloomed into an organization that runs multi-hundred-student events across many of its campus chapters, capable of bringing College Democrats and College Republicans into open discussions and forums that many thought extinct. Now at the forefront of bridge-building in American politics, theirs is an encouraging and inspiring example - making this one episode you won't want to miss.

Saul discusses his efforts to break people out of their political bubbles by covering the issues of the day through a holistic look at perspectives from left, right, and center, and an earnest effort to present the strongest arguments from each side. Throughout this discussion, the two men explore what it means to be in a bubble, and what it takes to get out. What is it that drives the heavily partisan, often sensationalized coverage that has seemed to dominate in recent years? And what can be presented to consumers, caught up in the tribal madness, to help them open their minds to other perspectives?The two also take a deep dive into Tangle's breakdown of 2,000 Mules, a controversial film by Dinesh D'Souza about the 2020 election, to see what the movie got right, what it got wrong, and why, according to Tangle, it ultimately fails to offer any real substance to those outside of D'Souza's tribe. Finally, Saul gives his take on the future of political media. Is the age of independent media coming? Or, as Tangle's rapidly growing readership of 35,000 might show, is it already here?

How does the social media-driven political tension of today compare to '50's McCarthyism and ‘80's / ‘90's political correctness? Do college students have more diverse friend groups, in terms of both ideology and demographics, than previous generations, or has there been a degree of sorting in recent years? And if most undergrads say they want to hear views different from their own, then where is the push towards censorship and de-platforming coming from?As all of these questions and more are addressed, the two explore what solutions are available to encourage a diverse and open discourse on campuses.
