Episode: America Is Fractured. Here’s What Michael Told Thousands of State Lawmakers About Fixing It
Description: Michael reflects on an extraordinary day in Boston, where he addressed thousands of state lawmakers attending the National Conference of State Legislators annual legislative summit. From powerful speeches about bipartisanship and political violence — including emotional remarks from a Minnesota state senator who survived an attack — to a candid fireside chat with Wisconsin State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, Michael shares what he saw, heard, and believes we must do next to repair America’s broken public discourse. And it all involves getting out and mingling. Original air date 5 August 2025.
