Episode: Michael Says Rhetoric Is A Problem, It's Not The Cause Of This Political Violence
Description: Michael Smerconish digs into today’s poll question: Is the rise in political violence driven by rhetoric or deeper societal issues? Citing expert research, tragic examples, and his own Mingle Project, he explores how loneliness, disconnection, and despair—especially among young men—are fueling a dangerous trend. Plus, a fiery fact-check on JD Vance’s claims and thoughts on how we can start to fix what’s broken. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
