March 4, 2026 ~ Nolan Finley, Editorial Page Editor for the Detroit News, co-author of “The Civility Book A Guide to Building Bridges Across the Political Divide” by Nolan Finley and Stephen Henderson With Lynne Golodner recaps yesterday's contentious senate hearing on Kristi Noem's leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. James Hawkins, certified EFT couples therapist and trainer from The Joshua Center in Arkansas. Listen in as we tackle the tough topic of how to bridge the current political divide in partnerships. We are seeing the effect of division rampant in relationships across the nation and we come together here to discuss why this is happening from an attachment lens and how we can begin to ease the tension. Listeners will take away how the cycle shows up, attachment fears that drive deep seeded disconnection and actionable steps to start finding common ground. Our relationships are a great source of strength and we are far more alike than we are different. We hope you join us today in this important discussion and be brave in beginning to step closer to the ones you feel far away from. You can find Dr. Hawkins online at dochawklpc.com and on Instagram at @doc_hawk_lpc where he discusses more on these topics!

There was a huge reaction to yesterday's Politics Wednesday segment on homelessness and move-on orders. Labour argues homelessness is up dramatically and there is nowhere for these people to go. New numbers released today show that simply, in Auckland anyway, is not true. Advocates working in the area tell us numbers are down 29%. Part of that drop is due to Government funding in October of last year to improve outreach, as well as the provision of 207 housing places in the Housing First programme. So, like a lot of other issues being raised as being disasters, the truth tells a different story. As I have said, Labour is going to lose the election anyway. But their growing problem is reality is smashing directly into their ideology. Their plan to this point, and it was reflected well in the Hipkins so-called "State of the Nation" speech, is to tell you everything is a mess, it's all broken, it's all been cocked up and is going backwards. The theory is if they set the mood right what they have to offer doesn't need to be a thing, hence they have no policies outside their capital gains tax. You're in a funk and you vote the Government out because they have convinced you life sucks. Except the evidence that it isn't, is starting to arrive, and in some volume. Growth is up, spending is up, confidence is up, performance in schools is up, kids are actually turning up to school, large industrial relations deals are being signed so strikes are off, crime is down, and now homelessness is down as well. By November employment will have turned and the picture, broadly, will be complete. It's hard to compete against good economic news and it's hard to compete against positive social news like the homelessness stats. And it's really hard, and this is where Labour and the Greens are blowing it, against the wider will and view of the populous. On move-on orders, like the gang patches and like the ram raids, crack downs are popular. Defending crooks and drug addicts and trouble makers is not a vote getter.

This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I sit down with former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper to talk about bridging divides in a world that feels angrier by the minute. And yes, we know - politics can feel exhausting. But this conversation felt different. It felt human. It felt hopeful. It made us smile.Governor Cooper shares why he believes we are not as divided as social media makes us think, what it takes to work across party lines, and how faith has shaped his life of public service. We also talk about Penn's Dad, UNC basketball, and a reminder that community happens in real life, not just in the comment section.If you've been feeling weary about the state of things, we hope this conversation gives you a breath of fresh air. True leadership stands in someone else's shoes, values decency, and doesn't try to divide. Thanks for being here with us. We love to hear from you!

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comSociologist Ruth Braunstein joins Faithful Politics to examine how Americans use faith and moral language to interpret citizenship, protest, and public life. Drawing on her research into religious activism across the political spectrum, Braunstein explains why democracy in the United States is often framed as a “sacred project” and how two competing moral narratives — one rooted in prophetic critique and another in patriotic preservation — shape today's political conflicts. The conversation explores Christian nationalism, motivated reasoning, and the internal dynamics of white evangelical communities, while also highlighting progressive faith activism that often goes unseen. Braunstein argues that pluralism is difficult but necessary, and that meaningful democratic engagement starts by moving from partisan abstractions to shared local concerns. This discussion provides a sociological framework for understanding how faith communities influence politics and how citizens can hold strong convictions while navigating deep disagreement. Learn more: https://www.ruthbraunstein.comDemocracy is Hard Substack: https://substack.com/@ruthbraunsteinGuest BioRuth Braunstein is a sociologist who studies religion, politics, and democratic life in the United States.

Trust in government is low. Politicians are trading personal insults on social media. And, Americans see the country as more divided than at any other time since the Civil War. What would it take to bring more dialogue, respect and effectiveness to politics? A first-of-its-kind program from the Citizen's League is starting small and personal, with an “exchange” program for pairs of state Republican and DFL legislators. The goal is to build genuine relationships across the aisle and help legislators gain firsthand insight into a region of Minnesota different from their own. MPR News guest host Catharine Richert reported on one of the first legislator pairs to participate. On Tuesday, she sat down to talk more with them and with the program's founder about what it takes to build bipartisan trust.

The vast political divide in America has largely become a battle between folks who live in the cities and those who don't. This was not always the case. Somehow rural voters have almost uniformly become Republican voters. How did the divide emerge and why does it pose a threat to democracy?

In the town of West Bloomfield, a longtime Republican Trump supporter is working alongside two unlikely allies: a pair of Democrats who disagree with him on many issues. Tim Schiefen is an auto mechanic who argues that, yes, Trump supporters and Democrats can co-exist -- even get to like one another. When Schiefen felt shut out by the Republican Party in his desire to run for town supervisor, he called the Democrats. To his surprise, they took his call, and now he's campaigning for supervisor while supporting two Democrats who are running for town board. Our guests will discuss getting past their differences; the importance of getting to know people in real life, not just on screens; and political alliances in the age of division.In studio: Birgit Coffey, candidate for West Bloomfield town council Julie Eveleigh, candidate for West Bloomfield town council Tim Schiefen, candidate for West Bloomfield supervisor ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

Greg and Holly have an open conversation about coming together as a nation and a state to mend the political divide.

Fren of the channel @AuronMacIntyre drops by to talk about the current political landscape, in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.https://x.com/AuronMacintyre https://auronmacintyre.comSupport this channel: https://www.paypal.me/benjaminboyce https://cash.app/$benjaminaboyce https://www.buymeacoffee.com/benjaminaboyceSupport this channel:https://www.paypal.me/benjaminboycehttps://cash.app/$benjaminaboycehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/benjaminaboyce

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're going even deeper into the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, and the more we uncover, the stranger it all looks. This wasn't just a tragedy; it was a deliberate political hit, and the inconsistencies surrounding it can't be ignored. From the bizarre behavior of the FBI to the unanswered questions about who ordered the attack, the pieces simply don't add up.If they'll take out someone as kind, respectful, and reasonable as Charlie Kirk, it means no Conservative is safe from being targeted. We must demand full accountability, real transparency, and nothing less than actual justice. Because the truth is, this was never just about Charlie, it was about silencing an entire movement. Not happening.

Michael speaks with Dr. Alan Wiseman of Vanderbilt University about groundbreaking new research into the education divide in American politics. Once, both parties in Congress shared a common bond: many lawmakers, regardless of ideology, came from elite universities. Today, that landscape has dramatically shifted. While Democrats have largely maintained their ties to Ivy League and other selective institutions, Republicans have moved sharply away from them. Dr. Wiseman explains how this 50-year transformation has reshaped Congress, what it reveals about polarization, and why the educational background of lawmakers may be just as important as their party affiliation. It's a thought-provoking conversation about the intersection of education, politics, and democracy itself. Original air date 11 September 2025.

This discussion delves into the significant voter shift happening in the United States, with a New York Times analysis showing a swing of 4.5 million voters from the Democratic to the Republican party between 2020 and 2024. The hosts attribute this shift to a perceived "mask slip" by Democrats, who they claim, for the first time, were unable to hide their true beliefs and policies from the public. The conversation also links this political trend to business decisions, highlighting how companies like Bed Bath & Beyond are reportedly choosing to close stores in California due to what they describe as an "overregulated, expensive, and risky" business environment. The hosts argue that these events are all part of a larger narrative where a disconnect between public sentiment and political/corporate actions is leading to a major realignment in both the political and economic landscape.
