Partisan divides are as deep as ever. Most Americans are exhausted by the dysfunction and divisions in American politics. Some scholars claim the country is on the brink of civil war. But several recent polls suggest that clear majorities of voters agree on many issues.  We dive into the data from two different groups that study American attitudes and beliefs. Kate Carney is chief of staff for the nonpartisan research organization, More in Common. Her work aims to help build strong communities for a strong country. John Geer is a professor of political science and leads the Vanderbilt Project on Unity & American Democracy. He discusses findings from Vanderbilt's which tracks trust in institutions and democracy. Hear some of their surprising findings on this episode of "Let's Find Common Ground".

In 2009, I picked up a tenkara rod for the first time--and never put it down. Like many, my introduction to tenkara was thanks to Tenkara USA, the oldest tenkara company in the U.S. In this episode, I reminisce about what it's like to transition to tenkara with my friend John Geer, the Dealer Services manager for Tenkara USA. John talks to customers and dealers every day so he has his finger on the pulse of what it's like for tenkara newcomers.  If you're a fly angler interested in tenkara, this episode is for you!

On this week's special episode of the Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report, host Nick Williams sits down with John Geer and TJ Ferreira from Tenkara USA. Tenkara USA is the oldest American tenkara rod company, founded by Daniel Galhardo after a trip to Japan in 2008. TJ is TenkaraUSA's Customer Service and Operations Manager, and John is the Repairs and Dealer Services manager. They've been with the company since it first introduced tenkara rods to the US back in 2009, and between them they have several decades of experience fishing with tenkara rods. They also have arguably more experience with helping people pick the right tenkara rod than anybody else in the industry. Join us as we discuss the best tenkara fishing rods for the various waterways southern fly fishermen are likely to encounter. We talk about the best tenkara rod for small creeks and ponds, bigger rivers and lakes, and the best rods for younger anglers or backcountry fishermen. We also discuss how to land fish on a tenkara rod, the best flies to use with tenkara rods, and the benefits of a tenkara rod for young or beginner anglers. It's all brought to you, whether it's good, bad, or ugly.

It's often said that America is as politically divided as it has ever been. In this week's show we dive into the data from two different groups that study American attitudes. What they discovered challenges some of our assumptions about the current state of US politics, and offers us a sense of context missing from noisy ‘us versus them' type arguments.  John Geer of Vanderbilt University discusses the latest findings from Vanderbilt's Unity Index, which tracks Americans' trust in institutions and democracy. Kate Carney, chief of staff at More in Common in Washington DC, talks about the group's ‘Speaking to the Exhausted Majority' report.  Both reports are examples of deep research into the state of American public opinion and where common ground may lie. We discuss the extent to which US democracy is under threat, who really makes up the ‘exhausted majority' of American voters, and what liberals and conservatives get wrong about the other side. 

John Geer had a domestic dispute at home with his girlfriend. She called the police to help mediate the situation, but Officer Torres stood with his gun pointed at John. John stood unarmed, with his hands up. For some unknown reason, Officer Torres shot John once, and John later died. Before responding to this call, Officer Torres was on the phone for 16-minutes and was arguing with his wife. Was he fit to respond to the call at John's house that day? The sad fact is that this wasn't the first time Officer Torres's personal matters interfered with his ability to serve.

Historian, author and college dean John Geer joins Tim to discuss the long history of political advertising, from negative attack ads, to a few positive ones that may have changed the course of history. John is the Dean of the College of Arts and Science at Vanderbilt University. He has published several books and articles on presidential politics and elections. One of them is called In Defense of Negativity: Attack Ads in Presidential Campaigns. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Political_Ads_-_auphonic.mp3   If you haven’t noticed by now, it’s an election year. In November, Americans will go to the polls to elect their senators and congressional representatives. In the run-up to that election, you will see your share of political ads. So in this episode we talk to someone who’s studied political advertising. John Geer is the Dean of the College of Arts and Science at Vanderbilt. He’s written books and articles on politics, and has appeared on many national media programs. He also operates a website called John Geer’s Attack Ad Hall of Fame. John Geer’s Attack Ad Hall of Fame Best Known Attack Ad – LBJ’s Daisy spot form 1964. Aired only once, but still talked about. A little girl was featured playing with a daisy in a field. She counts to ten, then we hear the countdown to a nuclear launch, then the camera zooms into her eye where we see a nuclear explosion. Most Effective Attack Ad 1988 – George H.W. Bush v. Michael Dukakis. The Willie Horton ad.  Willie Horton was in prison for first degree murder. When Dukakis was governor of Mass., Horton was in a program in that state where he received weekend passes from prison. The ad says that Horton murdered a boy by stabbing him 19 times during one of those weekends. Least Effective Ad – Mondale v. Reagan in 1984. Featured a boy in a bomb shelter and followed the lead of the Daisy Ad. But the ad didn’t work. Boomerang Ad – Carter v. Reagan 1980. Framed Reagan as not prepared to be president. But Geer says Reagan showed during the course of the campaign that he was prepared, which undermined the claim and the ad. And he proved this in the debates against Carter. The Most Informative Political Attack Ad – George W. Bush v. John Kerry 2004. Featured Kerry as a windsurfer in one, which painted Kerry as an elitist and a “flip flopper.” Least Informative Ad – Reagan v. Mondale 1984. Reagan ran the ad called Bear In the Woods. Featured a bear, which we know symbolized the Soviet Union, our mortal enemy at that time in the Cold War. Geer’s Favorite Attack Ad – George H.W. Bush v. Michael Dukakis 1988. Features Dukakis in a tank with a large helmet. Marginalized Dukakis on defense issues. Non-Attack Ads 1952 – I Like Ike Ads (jingles) 1960- John F. Kennedy’s ad that defended attacks from Richard Nixon on inexperience allegations. He turned youth into an asset, “old enough to know, and young enough to do.” Kennedy was 43. 1984 – Reagan’s Morning in America – very positive, idyllic scenes of productivity, suburban life, he has restored American optimism and revived the economy. 1992 – Bill Clinton’s Man from Hope. Hope, Arkansas. Emphasized his small town roots, work ethic and sense of humanity.
