A first-in-the-nation program is pairing Democratic and Republican state lawmakers together to visit each other's districts. Sponsored by the Citizens League, the program pairs lawmakers who seemingly have nothing in common in order to promote civility in politics. Rochester bureau reporter Catharine Richert attended one of these swaps for MPR News Talking Sense project, a series which helps people have hard conversations better, by telling stories of people who are bridging divides. She shared more about the story as part of a weekly regional check in with MPR News reporters covering Greater Minnesota.

Aretha Franklin sang about it. Rodney Dangerfield joked about it. And Jackie Robinson famously said, like him or not, he'd earned it. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. We are living in a period where respect is a neglected virtue — too often sacrificed in public discourse, online exchanges, and everyday interactions. Robert L. “Bob” Dilenschneider aims to change that, even if only one interaction at a time. Bob is the founder of The Dilenschneider Group, which, since October 1991, has provided strategic advice and counsel to Fortune 500 companies, professional organizations, trade associations, educational institutions, and leading families and individuals around the world. Bob's newest book, his 20th, is Respect: How to Change the World One Interaction at a Time. The book is a timely reflection on the urgent need for civility in an era of deep division. Drawing on both his life and professional experience and the wisdom of 13 admired leaders, Respect outlines five practical strategies for restoring civility and rebuilding mutual understanding. “It can feel like the world is broken,” Bob acknowledges in his book. The solution, he believes, does not rest with political leaders or other highly influential individuals but with individuals, regular citizens, who can take steps to restore a culture of respectfulness. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Dilenschneider, who has been called “the Dean of American Public Relations Executives,” to discuss his just-released book, his nineteenth, Respect: How to Change the World One Interaction at a Time.   In 1991, Bob formed The Dilenschneider Group, providing strategic advice and counsel to Fortune 500 companies, leading families, and individuals around the world. He is well-known for his experience in fields ranging from mergers and acquisitions, crisis communications and marketing, to government affairs and international media. Prior to forming his own firm, Bob served as the President and CEO of Hill and Knowlton for 15 years. In 2012, he established the Civility in America Lecture Series, featuring many of the nation's leading thinkers, which provides a perspective on what can be done to restore civility in our Country.  Bob discusses why respecting others and their points of view is so important as well as lessons he learned from his decades leading public relations firms.  LISTEN TO the radio broadcast live on iHeart Radio, or to “THE MENTORS RADIO” podcast any time, anywhere, on any podcast platform – subscribe here and don't miss an episode!

Hosts Regan Brown and Bill Mann, President of GB Group Construction & Painting, sit down with Matt Ober, Partner at Richardson | Ober, to discuss a unique experience he encountered while managing a high-rise property — and the challenges property managers face when navigating delicate and complex situations. 

In this episode, Vance Crowe sits down with author Devon Erickson to explore why he calls himself a compulsive explainer and how he sees the role of an intellectual: not to end debates, but to start them with powerful metaphors and fresh lenses. They dive deep into empathy as a writer's core skill—simultaneously inhabiting a character's inner world and anticipating the reader's experience—and how that practice shapes Devon's science-fiction novel, Theft of Fire. From first-person perspective and memory palaces to the mechanics of metaphor in thought, they wander into bigger terrain: how online discourse reveals public preoccupations, why villains must believe they're right, and what it takes to write convincingly across gender and worldview.Their conversation also ranges into contested civic ground: the difference between empathy and sympathy, the dynamics of thug mentality and civilized restraint, the risks of escalating political tribalism, and the notion of “soft off-ramps” in American politics. They talk about immigration enforcement as theater versus necessity, institutional capture, and the appeal of centralized control to academics. Then they zoom back to the personal: metabolic health and processed food, the economic pressures on families, inflation as time theft, Bitcoin as an intergenerational lifeboat, and why some boomers feel out of touch with younger realities. They close with Devon's passion project—the cinematic, full-cast audiobook of Theft of Fire—and the promise of classic sci-fi spirit with modern tech rigor.Legacy Interviews - A service that records individuals and couples telling their life stories so that future generations can know their family history. https://www.legacyinterviews.com/experienceRiver.com - Invest in Bitcoin with Confidence https://river.com/signup?r=OAB5SKTPto support the show and buy Bitcoin use the link to our show sponsor River.com https://river.com/invite?r=OAB5SKTP(00:00:04) Opening: Sharing insights vs. repeating talking points(00:03:11) Host intro: Meeting Devon Erickson and The Theft of Fire(00:06:12) Metaphor as the engine of thought and memory(00:14:44) Empathy as a writer's core skill—villains, readers, and realism(00:19:59) Modeling minds: conversational load, perspective taking, and audiences(00:26:06) Writing across gender and identity—finding Miranda's voice(00:29:08) Speculative craft: writing what does not exist(00:30:04) Online discourse: empathy without sympathy and confronting hostility(00:36:55) Self‑defense mindset: lines, intent, and preparedness(00:41:49) Civility, uncivil actors, and the ‘soft off‑ramp' in politics(00:49:31) Purpose of a military and cultural standards debate(00:51:58) Media narratives, ICE, and dealing with the uncivilized(01:02:00) Marxism, envy, and institutions—power vs. merit(01:11:55) Inflation's danger and policy priorities ahead(01:14:16) Immigration, budget crises, and administration choices(01:14:32) Foreign influence and defining America's interests(01:18:14) Money tech: inflation, Bitcoin, and future‑proofing exchange(01:21:15) Order vs. chaos: El Salvador, gangs, and state response(01:37:07) Feminism, industrialized food, and metabolic syndrome(01:46:33) What causes the obesity wave?

In this era of societal polarization, the challenge is reinstating civility. On today's In Focus, we learn how the David Mathews Center for Civic Life works to strengthen community engagement.

If you're exhausted by the circus and just want straight talk, meet Joe D'Orsie—Pennsylvania State Rep for the 47th (Eastern York County). Joe's the guy who goes home to his family after session, hosts real “Java with Joe” town halls, and votes with facts over feelings. We get into what actually hits home: term limits, keeping girls' sports for girls, free speech on campus, and school choice that helps families—not systems.We walk through how politics should work—listen first, push good policy, skip the “keep my seat” game. Joe breaks down his Dads Defending Daughters Act (HB 1849), why anonymous campus “bias reports” need to go, and how he helped deliver a bipartisan win (HB 355) that toughened penalties for adults who prey on minors. We also hit AI and data centers at the local level, what it means to serve a district instead of a party, and why making law from raw emotion almost always backfires.If you want America-first results without the drama, this one's for you.Check out Joe's podcast Straight to the Point on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/straight-to-the-point-with-joe-dorsie/id1710599325Order our LOW ACID COFFEE “THE BROADCAST BREW” — thank you to Cool Beans Coffee Brewery for your partnership!https://www.coolbeanscoffeemi.com/product-page/broadcast-brew-low-acid-blendSubscribe for full conversations and weekly clips.Share this with someone who needs it today.Comment your biggest takeaway.About The Dillon England ShowOur mission is authentic conversation with interesting people across personal growth, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle improvement while keeping it entertaining and informative.Connect with DillonTwitter: https://twitter.com/imdillonenglandLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dillonmengland/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dillon.england.5Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dillon-england-show--6370921/support.

Dave did it again. We recorded this a month ago, and Dave is just getting it published. And, his excuses are worthless.

What is civility? Who does it serve? When, if ever, is incivility called for? New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay joins Alex Wagner to discuss the right's recent calls for political civility and why Roxane believes those calls are based on a fantasy of our politics. The two unpack the political discourse in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination and the ongoing government shutdown, talk about Roxane's belief that the "manosphere" has always been with us, and debate whether there's a perfect, polite way to communicate about our differences.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Send us a textWant the real story behind “managing growth” in a fast-changing town? We sit down with Hurricane's mayoral candidates for a candid, side-by-side look at how zoning, infrastructure, and budgets determine whether a city keeps its soul while adding homes, roads, and services. We dig into the general plan's role in preventing costly pivots, why density—more than raw population—is the key lever leaders can pull, and how water, power, sewer, and access act as hard gates on what gets built and when.Water takes center stage. You'll hear where will-serve letters help—and where they fall short—plus the nuts and bolts of reuse: Type 1 irrigation, trunk lines, and the Confluence Park buildout that shifts pristine spring water back into homes. We talk real costs, from treatment plants that inflated from $24M to $38M, to the reality that water will keep getting pricier. Power isn't far behind: coal retirements, stalled nuclear prospects, and storage-limited renewables complicate the resource mix, even as Hurricane maintains backup generation and shares in regional plants.If you've ever wondered why “affordable housing” rarely shows up next door, this conversation goes beyond slogans. We break down lot sizes, and why smaller, deed-restricted pockets spread through neighborhoods can support young families without creating high-rise blocks. We also get honest about impact fees—they're cost allocation, not a growth throttle—and how zero-based budgeting, under-forecasted revenues, and cash-funding capital projects keep the city resilient. Finally, we challenge the idea that “small-town feel” means freezing time. It's built by open doors at city hall, events like Peach Days, and a culture that welcomes newcomers while honoring property rights and a shared plan.Please make sure you like and subscribe, share it with other voters throughout Washington County to help them make informed decisions in the upcoming election.

There's an ask, since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, for a return to "civility" in our political discourse. I'm here to tell you that "civility" is a luxury for only the privileged, and it's more obvious now than ever. When Elon Musk is calling for the shuttering of the Southern Poverty Law Center and he and FBI director Kash Patel see the Anti-Defamation League as a hate group, they're looking to silence arbiters of bias and hatred instead of the amplifiers of bias and hatred. Does that warrant our "civility?"Sadly, the ADL caved! I mean, wasn't that Musk and Patel's intent? NewsNation host Chris Cuomo tried "civility" with Musk, and was told directly by Musk to "piss off." Is that "civility?"Roxanne Gay, New York Times contributing opinion writer - a bisexual black woman - says "civility is a fantasy." AJC op/ed writer David Plazas says "civility" isn't enough; that we need to show each other "mutual respect."So how does one respect people who pathologically lie to perpetuate a political movement hell-bent on the continuation of marginalizing an American majority to the benefit of the long-empowered white conservative patriarchy?

This week's guest on The PR Week podcast is Bill Imada, PRWeek Hall of Famer and chairman and chief connectivity officer at IW Group. He talks about the just-published Civility Paradox report, which shows that while most Americans decry incivility in public life, they consider themselves civil. He also talks about the biggest marketing and communications news of the week, including a BBQ-flavored campaign from Progresso, and seeks to answer one of the major questions of our time: Is Taylor Swift finally oversaturated?

Within the larger pageant, seeing the funding sources of the various factions explains a lot. Is the uniparty staging a fake budget fight? It's all intended to pass their preferred version of the budget. Yes, this means big funding. Posturing and blowing minds. Some people crave being close to fame. Let them think they hurt you. Andrew Breitbart speaks. The absurd inflated concepts of the left. They use false and fake insinuations of racism. And they try to sequester leadership. Anyone can step forward and start a broadcast these days. Each of us brings our own perspective. Authenticity results in power. When the intimidation has melted away, it only leaves courage. Real people are changing history and the big influencers don't matter. Choreography happening for years is now visible. Prosecutions, resignations and a reckoning. Shifting the architecture of accountability. The spectacle of power can be it's undoing. Civility in rhetoric also covers up abuse. We should only be supporting the USA. Pretending Israel is a victim is about Congress getting paid. Even the corrupt people are sometimes useful. There is a lot going on right now, so watch carefully. And let's thank God that we're truly able to see.

Civility

In the wake of rising political violence — including the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk that took place on the campus of Utah Valley University — Holly and Greg confront a critical question: what kind of example are we setting for the next generation? Over the next hour we explore how we can restore civility, not only for ourselves, but how we can set the example of civil dialogue for our kids. Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Tom Golightly joins the show to explain how we can teach our kids to have civil discourse when confronted with conflict. Emma Adams, Co-executive director for Mormon Women for Ethical Government explores how to take the lessons outside of the home and into our communities. How can we spot harmful speech and what can we do as individuals to stop it?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (09/17/2025): 3:05pm- Krasner Ramps Up Vitriolic Language. During a town hall event on Tuesday, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said of Republicans: “fascists are going to be fascist” and abhorrently accused the party of not believing in racial or gender equality. While other public officials have turned down the heated rhetoric following the murder of Charlie Kirk, Krasner seems to be embarrassing venomous, purposefully divisive language. 3:30pm- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent & Author of the book, “Fools Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her two concerning Secret Service reports for Real Clear Politics, “Secret Service Faces New Scrutiny After Agent Cheers Charlie Kirk's Murder” and “Secret Service Missed Glock in Bag at Trump Golf Course.” You can find them here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/authors/susan_crabtree/. 4:05pm- Cliff Maloney—Citizens Alliance CEO & PA CHASE Founder—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the loss of his friend Charlie Kirk. Maloney says Kirk was a “great man” and a “great messenger.” 4:30pm- Corey DeAngelis— Senior Fellow at the American Culture Project & Author of the book, “The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the title of President of the American Federation of Teachers Randi Weingarten's new book, “Why Fascists Fear Teachers.” Why is Weingarten ratcheting up the vitriolic political rhetoric less than one week after Charlie Kirk was murdered for his beliefs? Plus, DeAngelis reacts to Weingarten baselessly calling him “weird” and a “stalker” simply for advocating for school choice. She also accuses DeAngelis of being “obsessed.” He hilariously responds: “No, Randi Weingarten! I don't want to date you!!” 4:50pm- On Monday, October 13th at 7:30pm—Rich will host New York Times best-selling author Jack Carr at the Zlock Performing Arts Center (at Bucks County Community College) in Newtown, PA. They'll sit down for an engaging discussion about Jack's latest thriller, Cry Havoc—the newest installment in his acclaimed James Reece series. Known for his real-world military experience and gripping, action-packed storytelling, Jack Carr brings an unmatched authenticity to the world of political and military thrillers. For tickets visit: 1210wpht.com. 5:00pm- David Gelman— Criminal Defense Attorney, Former Prosecutor, & a Surrogate for Donald Trump's Legal Team—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray's Tuesday press conference where he announced charges against Tyler Robinson and confirmed he's seeking the death penalty for the murder of Charlie Kirk. Gray stated: “The defendant is believed to have targeted Charlie Kirk based on Charlie Kirk's political expression and did so knowing that children were present and would witness the homicide." 5:40pm- Embarrassing: Sen. Cory Booker lost his mind during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel—at one point continually screaming, “I'm not afraid of you!” 5:50pm- Congresswoman Lucy McBath (D-GA) accused FBI Director Kash Patel of making the U.S. less safe under his leadership. Patel rejected her accusation, destroying her claims with facts: “If we're failing...how are we arresting 23,000 violent felons? 2x as many as this time last year. How are we seizing 1,500 kg of meth, 25% increase from last year. We captured four top ten FBI most wanted from around the world in 7 months. That's more than the entirety of the last administration. We put 1,500 child predators in prison. We dismantled 300 human trafficking networks. So, which is it? You don't like me, that's fine. But don't you dare disparage the men and women of the FBI that are producing record results in historic fashion to protect this country. They are kicking ass ...

Hello to you listening around the world!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey with your host Diane Wyzga.About a block from my library or a block from the post office sits a house on a corner. Propped against this house I saw a very large sheet of plywood. Spray-painted in large black letters were these words: Kill Lawyers - Not Cops.    Putting aside any 1st Amendment right of free speech arguments or the notion that many folks don't like lawyers until they need one, I have a question: When and how did we arrive at this place? When and how did we depart from human kindness, civility, and manners?  I've often spoken to the man who lives in this house as I passed by on my walk, admired his sunflowers, commented on the weather. I plan to walk up to his door and say, “I am a lawyer. Are you going to kill me? Or do you wish someone would?” I want to hear how he arrived at his position. And then perhaps get him to put away his larger-than-life sign before some yahoo takes him up on the dare.Practical Tip: Be of speech a little more careful than anything else today, tomorrow, and forever.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Following the murder of Trump ally Charlie Kirk, Christiane speaks with human rights activist Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of the late civil rights icon. The two discuss the rising political violence in America and the need to seek civility. Then, Michigan's Democratic Senator, Elissa Slotkin, speaks with Christiane about what America's foreign policy should look like, following Israel striking inside Qatar and Russian drones entering Polish airspace. Plus, freed Israeli hostage Liat Beinin Atzili & filmmaker Brandon Kramer join Christiane on set in London to discuss his new film "Holding Liat," looking at how Liat's family fought for her return from Hamas captivity while also grappling with their own moral outrage over the war in Gaza and desire for peace and reconciliation. Also, Isobel Yeung reports on the UK government's decision to designate Palestine Action a terrorist group. And twenty four years after 9/11, Christiane reflects on her own coverage in the chaotic days after the attacks, and goes back to her report from Afghanistan from December of 2001, where she and her team found evidence of Osama Bin Laden's plans, his Al-Qaeda training camp, and the last place he was known to have lived before fleeing.  Learn more about your ad choices.
